Of course Jiang Baiyan would not tell the truth to old William. He just said that old Frank went crazy, and young Frank and Jian Jing went down to the cellar and never came back.
Old William followed him doubtfully and knocked on the door of the cellar: "Is anyone in there?"
No one answered. He
pulled the iron ring on the door again, but it still couldn't be shaken.
Old William's face became solemn: "Let's go out and see, maybe there are other entrances and exits downstairs."
Jiang Baiyan looked at the heavy rain outside the window and nodded: "I'll get a raincoat."
He returned to his room, put on the bulletproof vest he bought in New York, hid the pistol in his coat, still holding the pistol in his hand, and did not forget to put a lighter in his pocket.
It was raining heavily outside, and the bean-sized raindrops hitting his body were very painful.
Jiang Baiyan flashed a strong flashlight and fluttered around like a headless fly: "Where is the exit?"
"It should be on the farm. There is usually one exit inside the cellar and one outside the house." Old William was experienced and led the way. "But I don't think little Frank kidnapped your companion. He has no reason to do so."
Jiang Baiyan would never tell the truth. He hesitated and hinted: "She is very beautiful."
Old William Cotton paused for a moment, then shook his head: "Little Frank is a good kid. He originally lived with his mother somewhere else. Because old Frank was sick, he came here to take care of him. Although he is lonely, he can't do bad things."
Jiang Baiyan asked: "Are you familiar with him?"
"We occasionally meet in the woods." Old William started talking. "He is very familiar with the woods and knows many paths."
Jiang Baiyan said "Oh", as if he believed it, and asked: "What's wrong with old Frank? He suddenly wanted to kill people, which scared me."
Old William cast a contemptuous look: "I don't know, I heard from little Frank that he occasionally goes crazy and can only be locked in the house. But he is already very old, just an old man..."
The sound of rain was rustling.
The two gradually stopped talking, separated by a distance of dozens of meters, and each looked in a certain direction.
The light of the flashlight sometimes intersected and sometimes separated in the darkness. In the distance, Jiang Baiyan heard old William shouting little Frank's name. The hoarse voice echoed, intermittently, like a broken radio.
Jiang Baiyan had to keep looking back to make sure that old William was not far away.
He took a breath and felt a deep chill.
Compared with the carefully arranged haunted house scenes and the cameras that were always creating dramas, everything here was so simple and even dirty, but the sense of horror created was not comparable to that of artificial settings.
He even felt that the wind blowing across his cheeks at this time had a faint smell of blood.
What kind of strange place is this?
Where is the silence?
"Mee~~"
The sheep is calling? Jiang Baiyan turned his head and saw the pure white sheep again.
It ran out of the sheepfold at some point and stood at the corner, looking at him silently, as if it wanted to take him somewhere.
Should we go? Is it possible?
While hesitating, he heard old William's cursing voice from behind: "Damn it, they are nowhere to be found. Could they have gone into the woods?"
Jiang Baiyan turned his head absent-mindedly: "What should we do then?"
Old William said seriously: "Let's look for them tomorrow morning. It's already dark. It's too dangerous to go into the woods. Let's go back. Maybe they will show up by themselves soon."
"But..." Jiang Baiyan glanced at the corner of the wall. It was really strange. The sheep disappeared in the blink of an eye.
He remained calm and asked hesitantly, "Can't we really go into the forest? We have guns, so we have nothing to fear even if it's a bear."
"You go if you want to, I will never go in." After saying this, Old William felt that he was too unkind, and reluctantly explained, "There are things in the forest that are scarier than wild beasts."
Jiang Baiyan asked back, "Have you seen it?" His tone was full of disbelief, "What does it look like?"
Unexpectedly, Old William actually answered him, and the answer was very specific: "They will not appear in their true appearance. What you saw..." He stared into Jiang Baiyan's eyes and said slowly, "It's a sheep."
Jiang Baiyan was stunned and looked at the sheepfold: "What kind of sheep?"
"No, it's special." Old William said in a low voice, "It will seduce people who enter the forest. If people follow it, they will unknowingly walk into the mountains and never get out again."
"Why?"
"It is the incarnation of the devil." Old William said, "Kelly was seduce by it and went into the forest."
Jiang Baiyan scratched his head and pretended to be stupid: "How do you know? Reed didn't tell us."
"Reed is a policeman and doesn't want to believe in the evil spirits." Old William said coldly, "He has been obsessed with finding the murderer, but I have seen it with my own eyes. If it weren't for little Frank waking me up, I would definitely be confused by it and never be able to walk out of the woods."
In horror movies, there are always NPCs who firmly warn the protagonist not to do something, but in order to continue filming, the screenwriter will always let someone in the protagonist group mindlessly commit suicide and must do it, so the death trap is triggered and people start hanging.
Of course, Jiang Baiyan's joke about horror movies does not mean that he really regards it as a strategy. It's just that the situation is unclear at this time. He doesn't want to lose William, his "companion", so he pretends to be told: "Then let's go back first."
Old William breathed a sigh of relief, and the two returned to the farmhouse.
The house was still empty.
Jiang Baiyan tried to pull the movable door again, but it still couldn't move.
He was unwilling to give up: "He hasn't come up for so long, something must have happened. Why don't we go into the woods and look inside the house?"
Old William couldn't persuade him and suggested: "Search separately, I'll go upstairs to take a look."
"Okay."
"Be careful, shout if you see anything." Old William said.
"OK!"
The two of them went their separate ways.
Jiang Baiyan first wandered around in the hall, and when he heard footsteps overhead, he quietly slipped to the back door and returned to the sheep pen.
He reduced the aperture of the flashlight and slowly walked into the sheep pen.
In the darkness, countless pairs of glowing eyes stared at him, quietly and silently.
Jiang Baiyan felt a strange atmosphere, with both the horror of being watched and stared at, and an inexplicable strange emotion, which reached his heart through this silence. His heart
was heavy and kept falling.
He took a deep breath, trying his best to ignore this strange feeling, and slowly walked to the innermost sheepfold.
With a slight movement of his toes, he kicked away the dry grass covering it.
The frame of a movable board was exposed.
Jiang Baiyan squatted down, completely hidden in a flock of sheep, thinking silently.
Although he did not participate in the filming of the haunted house show this time, when he stayed at Robert's farm, he flipped through the script of the movie, which contained many drawn setting drawings.
And Frank's farm is the prototype of the main scene.
He remembered that the script mentioned a cellar exit, which was right at the innermost part of the sheep pen.
He didn't expect that there really was an entrance and exit here.
Jiang Baiyan hesitated, lifted the iron ring slightly, pulled the door panel up a little, stuffed hay into the gap, and supported the weight of the door panel.
After doing all this, he did not go down, but retreated quietly.
In the darkness, the white lamb watched him silently.
The underground world, simple and quiet, is surrounded by countless roots.
Fire and guns can cause damage to little Frank and the roots, but neither can cause fatal injuries.
When little Frank is hit, the roots will dig out bullet fragments for him and repair damaged blood vessels and muscles, comparable to a first-class doctor.
Although the roots are afraid of fire, she has no fuel. The flame of the lighter is just a drop in the bucket and can't resist the harassment of the roots.
In desperation, she had to draw a card to try.
[Card drawing (special copy, consumption x2)]
[Drawing completed]
[Name: Prop Card·Identification (Special)]
[Description: Can identify creatures or items in special copies, with a higher accuracy rate, but the completeness of the information is not guaranteed, please consider it at your discretion]
[Note: There is a certain probability of failure]
At this time, who cares about failure or not, Jian Jing uses it immediately.
Good luck, the result is out.
[Name: Giant Tree Root (Part)]
[Identification Content: This is the root of the giant tree, which is called by the locals. It has strong vitality. Animal's milk is its best nutrition. It has a very high regeneration ability. It cannot be completely identified as ****. It is afraid of fire and can cause **** to the human body. It is currently impossible to judge...]
[Remarks: It has extremely high research value and can be further explored]
Jian Jing: ???
How to explore further? Be tied up? ?
She hesitated and said boldly: "Okay, I give up. I am willing to be a servant of God."
Across the thick root wall, little Frank asked: "Really?"
She said: "Of course."
He: "Then cut off a piece of the root."
Jian Jing pulled out a dagger and cut off a piece of the root. The root fell into the palm of the hand, twisting non-stop, and at first glance it looked like a fat leech.
Little Frank said, "Eat it."
Jian Jing lied calmly, "It's too big.
" Little Frank: "You must eat it, otherwise you can't enter the world of God."
Jian Jing: "I don't understand."
Little Frank: "This is God's gift."
Jian Jing: Speak human language!
Little Frank didn't hear her muttering, and emphasized, "Eat it, otherwise..." He sneered, and the threat was evident in his words.
It's impossible to eat it, system? Come out and say something.
[System: Limited pool has been opened]
It's really time.
Draw a card quickly.
[Limited card drawing]
[Drawing completed]
[Name: Limited card·Borrowed vision]
[Description: Choose one person, borrow his perspective, and witness the vision that you cannot see. The daily basic time is 30 minutes. Consume 1 courage point to extend it by 3 minutes. Consume 5 special points and it can be projected on the black technology glasses. It can only be used during the mission time. ]
[Note: Warning! The host must use this card with caution and must not abuse it. Don't say that I didn't warn you.]
Good guys.
The prop library of the elementary school students is not enough, so go directly to the ninja village next door. But the last note means a few things. Could it be that she will use it to peek at men taking a bath? ?
Jian Jing used it happily while complaining.
Now, she finally understood what Little Frank meant.
After choosing him as the person to borrow her vision, her vision suddenly changed and presented the world that Little Frank saw.
A layer of hazy red light lingered on the dark roots, extending far into the depths of the forest.
She pretended to eat the roots, but actually threw them into the storage compartment, swallowed twice and said, "Ahem, I ate them."
Little Frank asked, "What did you see?"
"Light." The acting card was activated, and Jian Jing's expression became surprised and enthusiastic. "The light of God!"
Little Frank smiled with satisfaction, "Follow me."
The roots spread out, and the red light pattern became smooth. He walked along a red light band and slowly walked towards the strange world in the forest.
Jian Jing spent 5X2 special points, turned on the projection mode, and touched the pearl in her hair.
It is popular to braid hair with pearl chains, and she is no exception. The long freshwater pearls are entwined in her hair, which is gentle and beautiful at ordinary times, but now they can also be used as a mark along the way.
She pulled off a handful and threw one every few steps.
The round pearls got stuck in the gaps between the roots, and no one cared.
