Chapter 246 Framing
Chapter 246: Framed
Xiayuan Village.
Li Mu's face looked bad, and his condition was even worse because he hadn't been able to truly rest for a long time.
According to his original idea, this mission was not suitable for separate operations. After all, the village was covered with horrifying bloody shrouds, and the eyes of the old people were also very strange.
But both Song Que and Ren Wudao actually said that they would look for clues separately.
In desperation, Li Mu could only agree to split up.
Jiang Zhijie and Li Yuejun looked at him strangely. In fact, a similar situation happened before the start of this mission.
The anonymous person suddenly sent a document telling the secret about the key.
From then on, the way most people looked at Li Mu changed. The trust and respect they should have turned into suspicion and wariness.
There are also...some deeply hidden desires and greed.
Li Mu knew that he couldn't explain it clearly, because he was indeed the person who had lived the longest in the fog so far, so it was natural for everyone to suspect that he had the key.
But he knew that he did not have a key. In fact, this was the first time he had heard about the key.
After this time... I must explain it to everyone.
Li Mu thought as he walked.
This mission was no small matter, and he had absolutely no confidence that he would be able to get out alive.
Unlike many people, although Li Mu didn't want to die, he was not afraid of it either.
In fact, after choosing the career of a criminal police officer, he was already prepared to die in the line of duty.
Therefore, besides fear, he felt more calm.
In previous missions, this calmness has allowed him to calm down and figure out a way to escape many times in life-or-death situations. But this time, ever since he stepped into this weird village, he has been unable to suppress his strong heartbeat.
Hope... I can go back alive.
Li Mu pinched the bridge of his nose. He was too tired. He had already felt tired after walking less than a hundred meters along the side road in the village.
If he can't find a way to break the curse, he is likely to die suddenly in the near future.
After patting his face and cheering up, Li Mu realized that his road had come to an end.
In front of him is a small courtyard with an ancestral hall inside.
Although the ancestral hall does not look big, the architectural style is completely different from the surrounding houses.
Li Mu thought for a while and walked over slowly.
He pushed the door gently, opened it a crack, and looked inside...
It's a very ordinary ancestral hall, nothing unusual about it.
But for such a place with sacrificial overtones, it is best to search carefully. Although the risks are high, there are usually rewards.
After thinking this, Li Mu opened the door and walked in slowly.
After entering the ancestral hall, Li Mu found that the ancestral hall was not really big, but the portraits of human faces hanging on the altar were a bit scary.
Are the clues to the mystery hidden in the painting?
In this ancestral hall, these portraits were the weirdest. However, as Li Mu gradually approached the portraits, his heartbeat was beating faster and faster.
Suddenly, his feet felt weak, as if he had stepped on something?
Li Mu quickly looked down. The very ordinary bluestone floor, logically speaking... shouldn't be soft when stepped on.
Did you just step on a ghost?
As soon as this idea came to his mind, Li Mu quickly stopped it. He has experienced too many such things. Many times, what you think is real is actually just an illusion. But if you keep thinking about it, you will scare yourself. If so, illusion can also kill people...
At this moment, the portraits are right in front of you. There are three of them, and all three are men.
Li Mu stared straight at these three human face portraits, and the more he looked at them, the weirder they felt. Although the three men looked completely different, Li Mu had an inexplicable intuition. The intuition of a criminal police officer told him that the men in the three paintings were the same person.
After this idea came to mind, when Li Mu looked at the three portraits again, the more he looked... the more similar he felt that the three of them were similar.
Not a physical resemblance, but something purer.
As he watched, Li Mu felt a little uncomfortable.
After he came to his senses and looked away, he realized that the sunlight outside the window had disappeared.
What's even weirder is that he can actually see these portraits clearly despite the darkness in the ancestral hall...
Li Mu felt a little cold all over his body, and a shuddering feeling appeared.
Li Mu immediately stopped exploring the portrait and quickly retreated to the door.
However, at this moment, some strange sounds suddenly sounded.
"Shua——"
"Shua——"
"Shua——"
There's something behind him...
Li Mu felt a chill. He didn't dare to look back and opened the door as quickly as possible.
However, as soon as the door opened and before he could go out, he saw a shadow cast on him.
A handsome young man looked down at him, the sun hiding in the clouds behind him.
"Ren Wudao? Why did you come in my direction?"
Li Mu was startled. He was confused at first, and then quickly realized that now was not a good time to talk, "Let's go!"
However, just when Li Mugang was about to take Ren Wudao away, he saw Ren Wudao throw away his hand.
Not only that, his expression also began to become strange, and a vicious smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he said close to Li Mu's ear:
"It's been so long, you deserve to die, officer..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Mu felt a huge force coming towards him. Li Mu pressed his palm on his chest and pushed him into the ancestral hall again!
Li Mu's pupils shrank, and the door in front of him was quickly closed!
He slammed the door violently and said angrily: "Ren Wudao! What do you mean? Let me out quickly!"
However, not only could the door not be opened, but the movement outside had completely disappeared.
Ren Wudao used some method to seal the door from the outside...
Li Mu felt a chill on the back of his head, and he didn't dare to look back at all.
At the same time, he was angry and full of doubts. Ren Wudao was a newcomer to Wuji. He and he had no grievances in the past, so why did he want to harm him?
Is it because of his sister Yu Sheng? But he had never harmed Yu Sheng, and he even risked his life to warn her once.
Why did Ren Wudao do this?
I can’t figure it out...
But at this moment, Li Mu didn't have to think about it anymore. The "swish" sound behind the door slowly approached, and a huge shadow was cast on the wooden door in front of him.
Through the shadow, he saw... an unusually tall thing standing behind him...
There is no escape.
Li Mu instead breathed a sigh of relief.
He touched his trouser pocket, a look of helplessness on his face.
I forgot to bring cigarettes.
Well, even if you die, let me see what you are!
Li Mu suddenly turned around, but what he bumped into was a dense mass of long hair...
