To be honest, Robert's story is a bit cliché. Most American horror dramas, especially those with small town themes, start with this routine.

But as the saying goes, no matter how exciting a TV drama is, it can't compare to a few words of real-life legends. In particular, there is something that Jian Jing is very interested in: "The photos all come from the diary? Can I see the original photos?"

"Well, let me look for it." He walked around the studio for a while, and found an old diary from the classified data boxes. "Please read it carefully."

Jian Jing agreed carefully, put the diary on the table, and slowly read it page by page.

Compared with Robert's childhood memories, Reed's diary is of course clearer and more bizarre.

This is how it starts.

5.13.1982

It was the third day since Kelly disappeared. I decided to write everything down until I found her.

First, I had to go through the whole thing from beginning to end: Three days ago, on May 10, I told Kelly that I was going to mow the lawn in the afternoon and hoped that she could help me transplant some flowers. But Kelly said that she was going to Anna's house to do her homework in the afternoon. I knew that she was going to find Bill.

But I pretended not to know that Bill had been warned by me that if he dared to bully Kelly, I would definitely let him feel my fist.

In fact, I did so. The day after Kelly disappeared, I beat him up. But Bill insisted that he had never seen her. After the investigation by the sheriff and his team, he was fooling around in the bar that night.

This is strange. According to Anna, Kelly had dinner at their house and left early. If she didn't go to find Bill, where did she go? Why didn't she come back?

I'm worried, very, very worried.

...

5.17.1982

Today is the seventh day that Kelly has been missing. Everyone says that she went into the woods and was taken away by a wolf or a bear.

I don't believe it. Kelly never goes into the woods after dusk. She said that there is something in the forest that makes her very disgusted.

But the whole town has been searched, but nothing is found.

I can't help but wonder, is there a murderer in the town, or a drug dealer who escaped from the border? No matter what, poor Kelly, my sister, I must find you.

...

-

The following pages record Reed's diary of his search for Kelly, but his results were always fruitless.

Gradually, the diary stopped, until 1992, when the narration resumed.

7.12.1992

Five days ago, five children disappeared in the town. Yesterday, we found their bodies in the woods. I have never seen such a scene.

Several children were like sacrificed lambs, surrounded in a circle, their bodies were white and bloodless, and this was indeed the case. The forensic doctor said that their blood had been drained! And their expressions were extremely weird. I heard that people who were frozen to death would have such a strange smile on their faces, but I bet that the scene at that time was ten thousand times more terrible than that.

…

7.20.1992The

investigation yielded no results. The parents of the five children said that they had not noticed any clues beforehand. After checking many outsiders, a drug dealer was very suspicious…

7.25.1992Damn

, the drug dealer was ruled out. The residents were very scared. We had to inform the collective residents that it was best not to let the children go out at night.

Don't go into the forest after dusk.

What is in the forest? ?

…

8.1.1992All

clues were gone. My colleagues and I knew that the murderer might never be found, just like I could never find Kelly.

I was really unwilling to give up. I went to the forest again today. Guess who I met? Bill! I haven't seen this kid since he went out to school. I didn't expect him to be back in town now. He asked me if I had any clues about Kelly, but I didn't tell him.

Don't think I didn't see the tattoo on the back of his hand, Maria, it must be his new girlfriend, right? But my Kelly, my sister, is no longer... f*ck!!!

I must find the truth!

8.12.1992

The investigation was stopped, and we never found the murderer. But I have a suspect, Frank, and we must investigate this guy carefully, he is very suspicious...

10.30.1992

No clues, is my guess wrong? I met Ben's father, and he asked me if I had any clues, even just a little bit. Even if there is no evidence, as long as he is sure who it is, he will kill the bastard.

I can't tell him the answer.

1.1.1993

Laura's parents moved away, and I went to see them off. Alas, I understand their feelings too well.

Kelly, I will never forget Kelly.

God, why don't you punish those villains?

-

In 1982, Reed seemed to be just a high school student, and his search for his sister was rather one-sided.

But around 1992, he was already a police officer in Twilight Town, so he had access to a lot of information only available to insiders. The autopsy report, confession, and analysis in the diary were very comprehensive, but the handwriting was scribbled and difficult to recognize.

The general meaning was that Roger, Theresa, Ben, Laura, and George, five teenagers aged 16 or 17, were brutally murdered, and the scene was suspected to be some kind of special sacrificial ritual.

The police spent several months questioning hundreds of people and eventually identified several suspects, but none of them was the real murderer. The case has not been solved to date.

In January 1993, the diary came to a temporary end.

Then came the next decade, 2002.

4.2.2002

A couple was camping in the woods, and the girl disappeared. Her boyfriend couldn't find her, so he went out of the mountains to call the police. My partner and I went into the mountains to look for her, and found her and Kelly's bodies in a cave.

My poor little sister, she had turned into a skeleton, but I remember her clothes. She was wearing jeans and a white lace shirt on the afternoon she disappeared.

I was sad and angry, and wanted to know how she died. The medical examiner told me that there were no wounds on the body, and maybe she got lost in the woods, got injured, and got trapped and died.

I couldn't believe this result, no, it was definitely not like that.

Something was wrong.

Why did Kelly go into the forest?

It's been 20 years, can I find the truth?

-

It's been so long, there are not many records in 2002, only Kelly's autopsy report.

But in October 2012, another incident happened.

A forest fire.

It is said that the fire burned for three days and three nights, scorching a large area of ​​land. Survivors claimed that a foreign man had been here, sneaking around and no one knew what he was doing.

On the day of the fire, someone saw him carrying gasoline into the forest and he has never been seen since.

Reed was inexplicably obsessed with the forest and began to investigate the case.

Witnesses described the strange foreign man as follows: His face looked a little strange and unnatural, as if he had been burned by fire and then repaired. He brought some strange items, yellow paper, red ink, and a copper plate that seemed to correspond to the stars.

At that time, we were talking about the incident that happened in the past, and he suddenly joined in and said that the reason so many people died was because of evil spirits.

In order to seal the evil spirits, we must find the devil's lair and use fire to drive them back deep into the earth.

Reed wrote in his diary: "This man calls himself Sky. I found a scroll of paper used for writing in the cave. It has a picture

of Big Dipper and letters I don't understand." The pattern of the Seven Stars of the North Star is sandwiched between the pages of this page.

——Jane

Jing raised her head suddenly, the light dimmed, and the sun outside the window was as bright as blood.

Robert drank the hot American coffee and asked: "Would you like a cup? You are so absorbed in watching it."

"Okay, thank you." Jian Jing took the coffee and took a sip to calm down.

When she saw the Seven Stars of the North Star in the wooden house, she didn't have a very strong intuition, but she felt that the details were too realistic, especially the dead in the photo, which was not a makeup effect, but infinitely close to a real dead person.

So she was curious and decided to find out the story behind it.

Who knew I would see such a record!

Sky, the sky, the Seven Stars of the North Star... With such characteristics, I can't help but think of Qi Tian. The master of evil magic who used seven children to set up the Seven Stars Coffin Sealing Array and harmed Xie Wei.

Calculating the time, around 2012, he had just had plastic surgery. And the real-name system in China was gradually activated, so it was quite reasonable for him to flee abroad at this time.

After searching for a long time, it was easy to get it.

Jian Jing immediately decided to find a way to go to Huanghun Town.

But before that, she had to find out more information, so she smiled and said, "These records are really bizarre. Now not only you, but also I am full of inspiration."

Robert patted his forehead and smiled, "Yes, I remember, you are a writer. What did you write? Oh, The Devil Doctor, I have read the book, to be honest, it lacks a little religious discussion - you don't mind me saying it directly?" "

Of course not."

So Robert talked a lot about his views on religion. Generally speaking, he believed that religion is an inner need of human beings and does not really exist.

Jian Jing wrote it down carefully, and then pretended to ask about Reed casually: "I met him, is he okay?"

"Old Reed is as strong as a bull, but his memory..." Robert pointed to his head, "stayed in the past few decades. If he said something strange to you, please don't take it to heart."

"He always misses his sister." Jian Jing said, "Even when he is old, he has not forgotten to protect her."

Robert sighed.

She then asked tentatively: "Can I take a few photos as a souvenir?"

Robert hesitated, and nodded with the blessing of the trust card.

It was simple but not too quiet. She only took photos of the more important information in the diary, and then thanked him gratefully: "I'm sorry to bother you for so long."

"It's okay, I'm glad you like it here."

After saying goodbye to Robert, she hurried to dinner as if nothing had happened.

Because there were more important scenes in the evening, most of the crew members were on the set. She finished her meal quietly, and went back to her room to rest early on the pretext of getting up early the next day.

Then, she began to look up relevant information about Dusk Town.

It is located on the border between the United States and Canada, two or three hours' drive from Seattle. It doesn't have any special features, so few people go there, and there is almost no information about it on the Internet.

Tsk, going alone to a remote and weird town looks like the beginning of a horror movie.

Jian Jing thought so, but she had no intention of backing off. Instead, she became more excited. She turned off the lights, but tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.

I don't know how long it took, but I was drowsy and seemed to have a dream.

In the dream, there was a dark forest, a strange owl squatting on a tree, and a sheep under the tree. The two animals were talking.

The owl said: "Someone is coming."

The sheep said: "Mee~Mee."

The moon was covered by dark clouds, and someone walked out of the cave and raised his face.

His face was very strange, stiff and tense, with obvious traces of skin transplantation, which was very inconsistent.

"It's you." He said.

Then, I woke up from the dream.

Outside the door, the stylist came to wake her up: "Teacher Jian, are you awake? It's time to style your hair."

Jian Jing sat up, no longer remembering the content of her dream.

She struggled to get up and open the door: "So early?"

"It's already 3:30, we have to hurry, it will be dawn at 4 o'clock." The makeup artist probably hasn't slept yet, and she was busy spreading out her makeup box, doing her hair and makeup, and bringing her clothes that fit her size.

"Teacher Jingjing, breakfast." Jiang Baiyan came in, actually holding hot dumplings and milk.

Jian Jing was surprised: "Where did the dumplings come from?"

"I made them yesterday afternoon. I guess you're tired of Western food." He didn't take credit for it, but urged her to eat faster. "Eat them while they're hot. They won't taste good if they get cold." Jian

Jing quickly picked up her chopsticks.

Morning drama was always very hurried. She found a chance to finish a plate of hot dumplings, and then the drama began.

On the farm in the wilderness, the morning light was dim, and only a faint gray-blue color rose in the sky. The roar of wild beasts sounded from the depths of the depressing woods. There was a rustling sound.

"Hurry, hurry up," the frightened guests scrambled out of the woods. You supported me with my injured leg, and I supported you who was vomiting blood. It was so frightening.

In the script, they have gone through many hardships, but at the last moment, they are chased by a group of monsters.

The guests resisted and cried: "You go first", "No, we can't leave our companions behind", "If you want to go, go together".

The bloody plot is really played out.

"Roar!" The monsters are chasing with their minions, and they are about to pounce on someone. Suddenly, a strong figure appeared in the distance.

Gunshots rang out.
