Since even the captain died in there, the best way is indeed to block it, and the impact has not continued to spread. The situation is not too good, but not too bad.
"By the way, Qiao Yuan, what are you doing back this time?" the sheriff asked in confusion.
"Ancestor worship." Qiao Yuan said
"This...it's best not to go in until the matter is resolved." The sheriff advised.
Although he already believed that Qiao Yuan was an awakened one, since two people had already fallen in, Qiao Yuan would most likely die if he went in.
"Well, I won't go. By the way... where is Qiao Xing? I want to see him." Qiao Yuan nodded.
After successfully persuading Qiao Yuan, the sheriff finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"He's in a nearby mental hospital. You can go see him when you have time. After all, we're from the same village."
…
Dahe County Mental Hospital.
It is a private hospital located at the outermost part of the county town. It does not cover a large area, but the environment is quiet and it is a good place for treatment.
Late at night, a stealthy figure came to the thick and tall wall and tried to climb over it.
But because the wall was too high, it was impossible to do so.
Security room.
A security guard glanced at the surveillance camera, picked up the intercom and said, "Director, that patient named Qiao Xing ran away again. Should we chase him or not?"
Soon, a voice came from the other side.
"This guy hasn't paid any money. We're not doing charity here. These sheriffs are really... they always send money here. As usual, let him get away. Next time the sheriff asks about it, we'll say we did our best."
"By the way, the surveillance footage has been deleted. As usual, just say it's under maintenance!"
"Okay, Director!" said the security guard.
Then he picked up a plastic stool from the side and threw it outside.
Seeing this, the figure who was climbing over the wall in the distance was stunned for a moment, then immediately picked up a bench, stood on it, and then climbed over the wall and left.
Completely disappeared into the night.
…
At the door, Qiao Yuan, who was about to go in to visit, was also stunned.
No wonder Qiao Xing, a patient, could escape from the mental hospital time and time again. It turned out that it was because he didn't pay.
Sure enough, everything in this world can be linked to money.
Shaking his head, Qiao Yuan turned and walked towards Qiao Xing.
He was very curious, where would Qiao Xing go?
In the distance, Qiao Xing, wearing a hospital gown, bent over and kept moving through the woods on the path.
As a child who grew up in the mountains, he is very familiar with this place!
Half an hour later, he arrived at the foot of a big mountain.
I saw Qiao Xing quickly clearing away some leaves in the distance, and a cave appeared next to the mountain.
Qiao Yuan hesitated for a moment and then followed in.
The cave was dark and smelled a bit damp and moldy, but it was nothing to Qiao Yuan.
Soon Qiao Yuan stopped.
On a wooden board in front, there was a very strange corpse lying.
Just as Qiao Yuan was thinking, in the darkness... a figure holding a dagger suddenly rushed over and was about to stab Qiao Yuan in the back.
Qiao Yuan turned around, grabbed the shadow's hand, snatched the dagger away, and twisted it into a twist in front of him.
"Don't attack people from behind in the future. It can easily cause misunderstandings!"
Qiao Yuan said, then walked to the side, pulled out a kitchen knife and a big knife, rubbed them together, and quickly lit a candle hanging on the wall.
…
The cave was barely bright at this time.
Looking around, the place looked carefully decorated. Although the furniture was very worn out, it could still be considered a home.
There was a girl lying on the bed.
A very strange girl.
On the side was a boy lying on the ground, covering his wrist, and staring at Qiao Yuan viciously.
"Bad guy, die... die!" the boy roared with his teeth bared.
"Qiao Xing, don't you recognize me?"
"I...Qiao Yuan. We met when I went back to my hometown during the Chinese New Year last year."
"Let me think about it... um... by the way, I asked you how many points you got in the exam, and you said you got more than 2,100 points in the peak competition." Qiao Yuan smiled friendlyly.
Qiao Xing's ferocious expression gradually subsided, and then he asked uncertainly: "Are you...Grandpa Qiao Yuan?"
…
Qiao Yuan: "..."
That’s right, in Qiaojia Village, Qiao Yuan has a very high seniority, and for city people, this kind of address has long been abandoned.
But in the relatively traditional Qiaojia Village, people are indeed addressed according to their generation.
Of course... the customs in Qiao Village have changed a lot in the past twenty years. When it comes to addressing others, if a younger person like Qiao Xing calls Qiao Yuan "Grandpa", adults generally won't say much.
But if Qiao Yuan meets an older person in the village, he cannot call him grandson even if he is older than him.
Otherwise you will be beaten!
"It's me. I even gave you my old study materials. How could you forget me after just half a year?"
Qiao Xing scratched his head, his eyes still filled with doubt.
It wasn't until Qiao Yuan took out his ID card that he finally believed it.
For a moment, as a survivor of Qiaojia Village, Qiao Xing hugged Qiao Yuan and cried bitterly.
After comforting him for a long time, I finally got some information out of him.
…
According to Qiao Xing, he was rescued by the local patrol captain.
"So, you did this for her?" Qiao Yuan pointed at the girl on the wooden bed.
Qiao Xing is not mentally ill!
"She is my sister," Qiao Xing's eyes were full of doting.
"If I'm taken away, she'll die here."
"She's dead?"
"No, my sister is not dead!" Qiao Xing immediately retorted.
Qiao Yuan was silent.
He felt strange before entering the cave.
Very strange!
The girl seemed to be in a state of half-death and half-alive.
The basic body functions are all normal, breathing and heartbeat, but... it feels like I'm missing something.
According to the sheriff, all the villagers in Qiao Village will lose their faces when they die.
The girl's current condition, although she didn't lose her face, was probably related to that strange spirit.
It's really hard for Qiao Xing, a boy of fifteen or sixteen, to pretend to be crazy and stupid in order to save his sister.
Unfortunately, this is a supernatural event.
"Tell me what happened in there." Qiao Yuan said.
Qiao Xing seemed a little hesitant.
Until Qiao Yuan punched a hole in the mountain wall.
Hope flashed in Qiao Xing's eyes.
"Grandpa Qiao Yuan, are you the same kind of person as the one who saved me? A superhuman?"
Qiao Yuan: "..."
"Just call me Brother Qiao or Qiao Yuan, don't call me Grandpa!"
