Chapter 239 Back then
Chapter 239: That Year
Jiang Li listened quietly, and Yu Wenxuan did not hide his use of her at all.
Even...a little smug.
"Why did you come to save me? Aren't you afraid that the ghost in the ancestral hall has terrible abilities?"
Jiang Li looked at Yu Wenxuan seriously, not missing any of his expressions.
Yu Wenxuan raised his eyebrows, looked at Jiang Li and said, "Ghosts? They are not ghosts."
This sentence finally made Jiang Li, who was feeling a little depressed, show an incredible look.
"Not a ghost?"
As soon as Jiang Li said these words, suddenly... the door was pushed open.
As the rain poured into the house, Jiang Li and Yu Wenxuan's expressions changed. Yu Wenxuan's footsteps had slowly moved back, preparing to find a place to escape.
At the door, the figure in the rain was upright, looking... a little thin.
The two of them looked at him, and the more they looked at him, the more familiar they felt.
Soon, the figure walked into the house and closed the door.
"Huh...Where's Lu Guo?"
Bai Yanliang asked casually while slapping the rain off his body.
Jiang Li looked at him in surprise: "Mr. Bai!"
Then, she thought of Lu Guo again, and her mood dropped again.
"Lu Guo... something happened."
In fact, when he saw Jiang Li's expression, Bai Yanliang knew that Lu Guo was in trouble.
Jiang Li quickly told him what had just happened, and everything sounded so bizarre.
"That's it..."
Lu Guo's appearance flashed through Bai Yanliang's mind.
In fact, from the beginning of this mission, he felt that something was wrong with Lu Guo.
Compared with before, this time he seemed more irritable, irritable, perverse, and reckless. This was not the general impression Lu Guo left on everyone.
Bai Yanliang didn't think much about it at first, because everyone has secrets. Maybe this change was brought about by Lu Guo's secret, but now it seems... Lu Guo may be going to hell with his secret.
"By the way, what were you talking about just now? You looked so happy talking."
Bai Yanliang also sat down, his physical strength also needed to be restored.
Have fun chatting?
Jiang Li glanced at Yu Wenxuan. She didn't think she had a happy chat with him just now...
But when Bai Yanliang mentioned this, Jiang Li thought of Yu Wenxuan's words just now.
"You said they are not ghosts?"
"Of course." Yu Wenxuan affirmed.
This is the first time Bai Yanliang has heard such a statement. Based on his understanding of Yu Wenxuan, this man must have discovered some key clues to be so sure.
In fact, Bai Yanliang admired Yu Wenxuan very much. Maybe most people in the foggy concentration couldn't accept some of Yu Wenxuan's actions, but Bai Yanliang didn't care.
For example, in a certain mission in the past world, he killed thirteen people in the Liu family compound. This was something only thugs and murderers would do.
Even if ordinary people stay in the fog for a long time, it is difficult to attack similar people. After all, they have lived in the real world for much longer than the time they have stayed in the fog, and some deep-rooted concepts are not temporary. It can be reversed in no time.
Therefore, Yu Wenxuan became an outlier without a doubt.
He himself doesn't seem to care about this matter. Moreover, although he will attack "NPCs" in missions, he has never murdered his companions. This is also seen by everyone, so even someone like Li Mu , in the real world the criminal police tolerated him for the time being.
Perhaps Bai Yanliang is the only one who prefers Yu Wenxuan's approach.
It's just that... in order to make himself look normal, every move he makes in his daily life, every subtle expression, and the way he handles people and situations are all imitating another person, Bai Yanren.
In fact, the real him looks like Xu Zhifei on the surface, but in some aspects he is more similar to Yu Wenxuan. They know right and wrong, but the boundaries between good and evil are very blurry...
"Look."
Yu Wenxuan casually threw out a yellowed booklet with four small red characters written on it.
Work notes.
This booklet looked very old. Bai Yanliang picked up his phone, turned on the flashlight, and opened the booklet.
Jiang Li also came over, and the two of them quickly read the small booklet.
But what was recorded was very bizarre.
According to the records in this booklet, a big event happened in Zhongyuan Village twelve years ago.
All the villagers suddenly suffered from severe stomachache and could not even straighten their waists. They did not feel better after many days.
The village chief had no choice but to send a man with slightly milder symptoms to the county town to find a doctor.
The road back then was not that easy, and it took a day and a night to go back and forth.
By the time the doctor arrived in the village, the plague had broken out.
Large swaths of villagers were covered in rot and flies were flying everywhere.
They were biting the animals in the village like crazy.
Pigs, dogs, chickens, ducks... all livestock were killed by them and then eaten alive.
The doctor was frightened and was about to leave on the spot, but something unexpected happened.
All the villagers covered in ulcers suddenly died suddenly and lay dead in the village.
Only a handful of people survived.
And those who survived, without exception, were all elderly people over fifty years old.
Their mental state seems relatively normal, and the degree of physical decay is not that high.
The doctor gave them some anti-inflammatory drugs, left in a hurry, and called the police.
Later... all the corpses of those who died under mysterious circumstances were incinerated on the spot, and their ashes were scattered in the Yudai River passing by the village.
Since then, all the young people in Zhongyuan Village have died, and the village has become a forbidden place among outsiders. Only a group of lonely old people are left quietly waiting for death...
After reading it, Jiang Li felt a little heavy in his heart.
"Li Changshan..."
Bai Yanliang suddenly muttered the name.
Jiang Li looked at him unexpectedly, "Isn't this the man who was sent to the county town to seek medical treatment? Is there something wrong with him?"
Yu Wenxuan put away the yellowed booklet and said, "Do you still remember the old man who led us?"
The old man leading the way...
Of course Jiang Li didn't forget him so quickly. She remembered... The old man just asked everyone to call him Lao Litou.
Old Li Tou...Old Li Tou...Li Changshan? !
Is he the same Li Changshan back then?
Jiang Li shuddered. Could it be that... Li Changshan who led them was really a ghost?
"Where did you find it."
Bai Yanliang suddenly looked at Yu Wenxuan and pointed at the pamphlet in Yu Wenxuan's hand.
"In that old house where no one lives." Yu Wenxuan glanced at Jiang Li and said with a smile, "I just wanted to make a little joke with Miss Jiang at the time, but I didn't expect to find this in the house by accident."
Jiang Li ignored him. If the incident recorded in this booklet was true, then Yu Wenxuan's statement that these villagers were not ghosts was indeed true.
They are still people.
But...it's someone who is sick.
