Chapter 204 Zhao Jian’s encounter
Baiyang Village, this is the place where the second stage of the ghost sacrifice ceremony will be carried out. Wen Zhong only knows the name of this one, but he can say that he does not know any other clues about Baiyang Village. .
Through the intelligence network of Liangyiguan, he learned that there was indeed a place called Baiyang Village in reality, but it had been abandoned by humans many years ago.
In order to collect information about Baiyang Village, he entrusted Zhao Jian, a ghost controller he met in the ghost forest, to go to the real Baiyang Village to investigate, trying to find information about the ghost sacrifice ceremony.
At this moment, Zhao Jian is in the abandoned Baiyang Village. He arrived at this abandoned village three days ago.
Because the village has been abandoned, and is surrounded by dirt roads and dense forests, Zhao Jian can only reach here by relying on his legs.
This village looks very desolate, and there is an extremely weak rancid smell in the air.
Zhao Jian tried to contact Wen Zhong as soon as he arrived in this village, but the strange thing was that his satellite phone had no signal here, and he seemed to be isolated.
Perhaps because there is a pool in the back hill of the village, the whole village is very cold and damp, and the dilapidated houses around it are covered with withered and dead vines, making the whole village very weird. .
During the three days of this investigation, he did not encounter anything unusual, except for the occasional sound of surging bubbles in the village at midnight and early morning every day.
At first he thought there was something unusual in the pool in the back mountain, but on the third day, he squatted in the woods in the back mountain all night but found nothing.
Time has come now, everything is normal, and Zhao Jian is currently going from house to house looking for useful information. After three days of observation, he is convinced that the village is very safe.
Of course, only for now.
“Damn it, I’ve already found this house, but there’s no useful information at all. Is it possible that the people who live here don’t have the habit of keeping diaries?” Zhao Jian looked at the pile of things at his feet. The sundries couldn't help but feel a little distressed.
Half of the ground was filled with cooking tools such as pots, stoves and even firewood sticks.
The other half is filled with tattered, old clothes that have been patched to the point where they can no longer be mended, as well as cleaning tools such as rags. It can be seen that the residents who once lived here are very simple.
But for Zhao Jian, this pile of scrap metal has no value except for hindering his investigation.
"I don't know what's going on over there in Da'an. I haven't contacted them for so long, and I don't know if they are worried about me." Zhao Jian thought as he rummaged through the debris.
Of course he doesn't know that Da'an City is still in dire straits at this moment. If Zhao Jian knew, then he would be extremely glad that he was not involved in it.
The whole Baiyang Village was eerily quiet, with the only sound of banging coming from Zhao Jian as he rummaged through debris.
The dim lights were swaying in the breeze, and the sky outside the window was gradually getting darker. Looking at the time, it should be close to evening. The sun had set, and only a trace of afterglow was left in Baiyang Village.
Seeing this, Zhao Jian skillfully took out two candles for lighting that were said to never go out from the large mountaineering bag carried on his back.
He made this thing by himself.
Whenever midnight falls, he will turn off the lights and light candles for lighting just to be safe. This is a habit of his and is related to a supernatural event he has experienced before.
Looking at the Baiyang Village that was gradually shrouded in darkness, Zhao Jian habitually lit candles and prepared to continue searching for clues, but he suddenly felt that something was different tonight.
The rotten smell that was usually so mild that it was almost imperceptible suddenly became stronger, as if a rotting corpse had been moved to the wind vent, and the weird rotten smell swept through the entire Baiyang Village.
"What's going on?" Zhao Jian frowned, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. If today is included, he has been here for four full days, and this is the first time something strange has happened. .
Although he didn't know whether this change was good or bad, at least he no longer had to dig around in the trash. Apart from a little surprise, he felt more excited.
"Finally, I got something a little different, something interesting." Zhao Jian licked his chapped lips and walked out of the room. He was going to follow the wind to find the source of the rancid smell.
Abnormalities appearing around you for no apparent reason are often signs before a supernatural event occurs.
Of course, his purpose here is not to deal with supernatural events, but to collect all information related to Baiyang Village. The current anomaly is an excellent opportunity to collect information.
Soon, Zhao Jian followed the putrid smell and groped his way to the corner of the village. There was a huge water tank, covered with a wooden board, with a stone pressed on the wooden board. It kept shaking.
Weird, very weird, Zhao Jian frowned and took a few steps back, looking at the water tank with fear in his eyes.
"What is hidden inside? Could it be a fierce ghost?" Zhao Jian stared at the water tank and analyzed: "It doesn't look like it. If it is a fierce ghost, how could it be so easily swallowed by a water tank? Seal it.”
The water tank is the most common black tank in ordinary farmhouses. It is usually filled with clean water and is used to clean or rinse furniture and other things. No matter how you look at it, The water tank didn't look like it was made of gold either.
If it were a terrifying ghost imprisoned inside, it wouldn't be able to get out of a water tank, but it wouldn't be justified if it were a living person imprisoned inside.
First of all, oxygen is a big problem. The stones pressing on the water tank have no trace of being moved. It is obvious that this water tank should have been stored here for at least a year, or even longer.
Is it possible for a living person to survive in it for a year? The answer is of course no.
"It's really evil. It's better not to seek death."
Zhao Jian kept backing away until the strange water tank disappeared from his sight. Then he breathed a sigh of relief.
It would be bad if the balance in the village was disrupted because of his lack of movement. He was looking for clues, but he didn't come here to die.
Suddenly, he remembered the sound of bubbles that must have appeared every night. Could the source of this sound be the water vat?
When Zhao Jian thought of this, he couldn't help but feel a little creepy. It turned out that the horror had been hidden around him for so long, but he didn't notice it at all.
Speaking of which, he has only controlled one ghost and has not yet escaped the threat posed by the ghost's resurrection, so he must be more cautious. (End of this chapter)
