Chapter 169
The scene recorded by Cui Hao in his diary is now reappearing in front of Li Zhuiyuan.
Not in the earth building, not at night, but in the daytime in the wild.
This proves again that Lao Bian Po is definitely not the kind of small character who can only make some noise and scare people in a specific narrow and gloomy environment. Her home field range is very wide.
The tractor was moving very loudly and was moving towards the village.
On the hillside, Runsheng was waiting for the order from Xiaoyuan.
Li Zhuiyuan didn't say anything for a long time.
The boy was not worried about the safety of Xue Liangliang and Lin Shuyou. At least, this was not the first priority.
What he focused on was that if he and Runsheng on the tractor were evil spirits, then why could Lin Shuyou sit face to face with them without any notice?
The White Crane Boy is also called the guide boy in the official general system, and is good at insight.
According to past experience, when encountering evil spirits in reality, Lin Shuyou's vertical pupils will naturally open.
But now, there is no, they are even talking and laughing.
Even if you put aside the detection function of the vertical pupils, Xue Liangliang was also sitting on the tractor at this time.
Last night, I had clearly informed Xue Liangliang that the situation of this mission was complicated and there would be a strange situation. Logically, Xue Liangliang had a string in his heart.
Shuyou Lin is occasionally careless, but Xue Liangliang doesn't.
The evil spirit imitated himself while communicating, but Xue Liangliang had no doubts at all?
At this moment, Li Zhuiyuan himself was a little suspicious. Are the four people sitting on the tractor all fake? Is what he witnessed just an illusion?
But when the boy looked up and looked around, he found that the surrounding Feng Shui was as normal, which meant that he had not stepped into the illusion and was not in any formation.
"Brother Runsheng."
"Yes."
"Follow up."
"Okay!"
Runsheng started running.
Fortunately, the tractor is not driving too fast, and the road is bumpy and difficult to walk, so the speed is just like that. Runsheng can easily follow the tractor along the side of the hillside.
But, after following a little closer, Lin Shuyou, who was sitting on the tractor, seemed to have noticed it and began to turn his head and look back.
This made Li Zhuiyuan on Runsheng’s back feel helpless. If you have the time to perceive the distance, can’t you take the time to look in front of you more?
"Brother Runsheng, please open the distance a little longer, not so close."
"Okay."
Runsheng pulled a distance backward to make sure the tractor was still there. It's in their sight.
In this way, one drives in front with four wheels and the other drives in back with two legs.
The four people on the tractor just chatted and talked from time to time, but nothing changed.
In the end, Ran Dacheng drove the tractor into the village and stopped.
The four of them got out of the car. After a few simple conversations, Xue Liangliang and Lin Shuyou continued to walk towards the Tulou, while "Li Zhuiyuan" was carried by "Runsheng" and moved in the other direction. Then he disappeared from the back of the house in front of him and his vision was lost.
"Brother Runsheng, come on!"
"Okay."
Even after hiking for so long, Runsheng's strength was still not exhausted. At this time, he no longer hesitated and started running quickly.
Ran Dacheng, who was turning his head for the tractor, saw this scene and scratched his head in surprise.
He just witnessed the two of them walking over there with his own eyes, why did he meet them here again?
Behind that house was a pile of wood, and no one was seen.
Runsheng stepped on the pile, and Li Zhuiyuan looked down on his back, looking around, without any notice.
The pair of "self" and "Runsheng" seemed to disappear out of thin air.
Li Zhuiyuan patted Runsheng on the shoulder, and Runsheng straightened his body, allowing the young man to slide off him.
"Click!"
The boy noticed the movement from the soles of his shoes, looked down and found that it was a pool of glass powder.
Squat down and looked down carefully, and found that there was still a lot of powder like this under the firewood stack.
Li Zhuiyuan noticed that there was a lot of crystal clearness left on the nearby firewood and the earthen wall on this side. In the sun, it could be captured very clearly. to their traces.
Just now, a large piece of glass should have been broken and turned into powder.
But...
Li Zhuiyuan grabbed a handful of fine slags with his hands again and put them in front of him and observed carefully:
This is really made of glass Is it?
Unfortunately, the transportation here is inconvenient, and there is no material analysis agency in the nearby counties. If you want to confirm the ingredients in detail, you have to send it to a big city. In this way, the daylily will be cold after being sent.
Even so, Li Zhuiyuan took out a plastic bag from his bag, took some slag and put it in.
He had a premonition that this thing should be a key point.
After taking the sample, Li Zhuiyuan and Runsheng returned to the Tulou together. At the door, they met Tan Wenbin and Yin Meng who came back at the same time.
Shuyou Lin happened to come out with a bucket of water and planned to fetch water from the well outside.
"Brother Xiaoyuan, you've found Brother Bin and the others so soon."
Li Zhuyuan: "Did I tell me I'm going to find them?"
Shuyou Lin said in surprise. : "Yes, please let Brother Liang and I come back and cook first, and Runsheng and you go to find Brother Bin and the others..."
Faced with Li Zhuyuan's serious inquiry gaze, Lin Shuyou said , I was a little unconfident.
Li Zhuiyuan: "Go back to the house for a meeting."
Everyone sat around the yard, and Li Zhuiyuan described the scene he had seen before.
Tan Wenbin and Yin Meng were only surprised.
Xue Liangliang and Lin Shuyou stood up directly.
Shuyou Lin: "Brother Xiaoyuan, what do you mean is that we came back on a tractor with two evil spirits who have become you?"
Xue Liangliang: "What method do you have to prove it?" , are you really Xiaoyuan? ”
"Oh, yes!" Lin Shuyou immediately stood in front of Xue Liangliang, pressed down on the center of gravity, and prepared to take action at any time.
In his perception, what he can be sure of is that Xue Liangliang, who has been with him all the time today, must be true.
Xue Liangliang's rhetoric and Lin Shuyou's actions did not make Li Zhuiyuan angry, but he was quite pleased with this.
Li Zhuiyuan took out the plastic bag sample and threw it in front of everyone. "I suspect that the evil spirit finally broke into this."
Lin Shuyou picked up the sample bag, touched it himself, and handed it to Xue Liangliang. Xue Liangliang poured out some, observed it carefully, and said: "Glass?"
"I don't know it is It's not glass, but it's necessary to find a testing agency to confirm the specific ingredients."
Li Zhuiyuan pulled out an exquisite dagger from the edge of his boots, placed the dagger on the bonfire and burned it, and then pointed it at his own The left hand stroked the palm, and the hole appeared and blood flowed out.
The boy picked up a bowl from the ground and let his blood drip into the bowl before he started to treat the wound.
"Check your identity in the most original method, and then exchange the blood bowl for others to confirm."
Runsheng did as he did immediately, first scratching his fingers across the edge of the Yellow River shovel, and then dripping the blood into the bowl middle.
Xue Liangliang nodded, took out the knife, broke his fingers, and dripped blood.
Shuyou Lin raised his foot, waved his arm down, pulled out the dagger on the side of the boot, and then stabbed himself in a coherent manner:
"Hiss..."
< br>
The stroke became deeper and blood suddenly spread out.
Li Zhuiyuan subconsciously felt that Lin Shuyou's blood would not need to be tested anymore, it should be true.
But he immediately abandoned this idea and still had to check it out, because it was fake and seemed to have the ability to act like it was real.
After all four of them were bleeding, Li Zhuiyuan looked at Tan Wenbin and Yin Meng and asked: "What are you two hesitating about?"
Tan Wenbin shrugged and said, "Ah, what do we have to do, I thought we didn't leave the village today, so we don't have to doubt our identity."
Yin Meng: "I think so too."
Li Zhuiyuan smiled.
Runsheng raised the Yellow River shovel, and Lin Shuyou grabbed the trident.
The two people, one on the left and one on the right, sandwiched Tan Wenbin and Yin Meng in the middle.
Runsheng and Lin Shuyou both realized something was wrong, because Tan Wenbin and Yin Meng rarely did not actively respond to Xiaoyuan's orders.
Even if Yin Meng doesn't need to do it, she will do it, even if she gets criticized afterwards: You don't need to do it.
Tan Wenbin will cooperate more actively with this behavior.
No matter what, not doing resistance at this time means that there is a problem with the identity.
"Hey, hey, what are you doing? You won't even doubt us, right? That's OK, Mengmeng, let's verify our true self."
"Yeah."
Tan Wenbin and Yin Meng both pulled out their boot-side daggers.
Li Zhuiyuan: "Do it."
Runsheng slapped it with a shovel!
Shuyou Lin hesitated for a second, and the trident pierced.
Tan Wenbin and Yin Meng let out a sharp roar and rushed towards Li Zhuiyuan together.
But their sneak attack was too late.
Tan Wenbin's head was smashed by Runsheng with a shovel, and Yin Meng's neck was pierced by Lin Shuyou's trident.
The two of them screamed, and then their bodies quickly shriveled and flattened, gradually becoming transparent, and at an extremely fast speed, they became like glass, and then... exploded.
"Bang!" "Bang!"
The glass shattered splashed everywhere, Runsheng blocked Li Zhuiyuan, opened the valve, and swept the glass chips with air waves.
Shuyou Lin retreated, grabbed Xue Liangliang, and the two fell to the ground together, avoiding the scope of the impact.
This kind of glass slag is not very lethal, but if you are not careful, it can cause a lot of holes in your body. If it is embedded in the skin, it will be more troublesome to deal with it.
There are crystal clear everywhere around. There are two piles of slag powder at the location where Tan Wenbin and Yin Meng were originally standing.
Li Zhuiyuan twisted the kettle and drank two sips of water.
He finally understood why Xue Liangliang and Lin Shuyou failed to recognize that the tractor they were on were fakes before.
Because since he met at the door, until the other party did not respond immediately before cutting his finger and dripping blood, Li Zhuiyuan himself did not realize that Tan Wenbin and Yin Meng were fake.
They both have no flaws in terms of image, expression, movement, language, etc. But this is impossible.
The appearance is easy to imitate, but how do you imitate the reactions during conversations and chats?
Li Zhuiyuan didn't believe that this old lady could be omniscient and omnipotent.
The boy lowered his head and began to recall all the conversations he had after meeting Tan Wenbin and Yin Meng at the door.
In the end, under my own forced, their language was deformed. Before that, they were both very... no, no.
Li Zhuiyuan suddenly discovered something, that is, although he had a conversation with Tan Wenbin and Yin Meng during this period, there was no information in this conversation.
The two of them were arranged to stay in the village for a visit today, and they should have obtained a lot of information. In the past, when they were in meetings, Tan Wenbin would also cooperate and try to learn from one example and apply it to other aspects.
During the contact period just now, none of these things were shown.
Is it because I was the one who was talking about me just now, and at the same time I didn’t give them the opportunity to speak specifically?
Li Zhuiyuan also read the things he had said before in his mind.
No, when I was telling, I actually handed the conversation to Tan Wenbin according to my past habits.
Because of Tan Wenbin's existence, you can say less, and Tan Wenbin understands some things first and then explains them to others.
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
This time, Tan Wenbin responded to the words he gave, but he was all confused in an extremely normal way of "beating haha".
But I didn’t feel strange at all, because the other party’s acting skills were too good?
Or it is actually not acting.
Li Zhuiyuan looked at Xue Liangliang and asked, "Brother Liangliang, please recall what did you talk about with that 'me' when you came back."
Xue Liangliang: "I'm not to you, I've said a lot to the fake you, I've found it on the construction site, and then the fake you have also said a lot to me."
Li Zhuiyuan : "Did that 'I' tell you about the Miao village?"
Xue Liangliang patted his forehead gently and fell into thought.
Shuyou Lin said, "It seems like I have said something..."
Li Zhuiyuan looked at Shuyou Lin: "What did you say?"
Lin Shuyou frowned: "I said a little, and then said, and I will talk about it in detail after I go back."
Xue Liangliang stopped slapping his forehead, opened his eyes wide, and his tone increased: "You said a lot to me, But not much is useful! ”
Li Zhuiyuan nodded when he heard this, and it was indeed the case.
Xue Liangliang asked in confusion: "No, I think it's strange. But at that time, I really didn't feel any incongruity. I didn't even suspect that you were fake at that time. How did he deceive me? "
Li Zhuiyuan pointed to the glass scraps on the ground and said, "It's not that he deceived you, but you deceived yourself."
The boy stood up, picked up the tongs, and pulled the glass residue on the ground: "I don't know how they were made.
But they are really like a mirror, only However, what you see in an ordinary mirror is yourself, and what this mirror shows is actually the person you think in your mind.
For example, take me as an example.
The best imitation effect is not to become a completely identical me.
Instead, you just need to imitate the image I see in your eyes, that is, it is real me, even more real than me. ”
Xue Liangliang: “No wonder. "
Shuyou Lin agreed with guilt: "Oh, so that's it~"
Runsheng took out the compressed biscuits and started eating. He didn't like to participate in the brain-watching session, and he was really hungry .
Xue Liangliang: "So in my opinion, how will the real you respond to me, how will the fake you respond? In fact, I am deceiving myself.
There is such a bizarre existence in this world? "
"In this world, there are so many bizarre things, such as..."
"Okay, no need for example. "Xue Liangliang hurriedly raised his hand, "Then what is the purpose of her doing this? "
Shuyou Lin continued, "Yes, Brother Xiaoyuan, this thing doesn't seem to have much attack power. Just now, I poked the trident and it shattered. ”
Li Zhuiyuan said:
"I suspect that while we are investigating her, she is also investigating us."
At this time, footsteps came from outside the house, and Tan Wenbin and Yin Meng appeared at the door.
Tan Wenbin's face turned red and his body was filled with alcohol. He probably drank a lot, but he couldn't get drunk and his brain was still clear.
"Oh, everyone is back, Brother Xiaoyuan, I have a report on my major discovery!"
Shuyou Lin threw his dagger over and said, "Bleed first." br>
"What?" Tan Wenbin caught the dagger and looked at everyone with some confusion. Finally, he turned his eyes to Li Zhuiyuan.
The boy nodded and pointed to the blood bowl placed beside him.
"Okay." Tan Wenbin cut the fingertips with a dagger, found a bowl, and asked while dripping blood inside, "Is that dirty thing fake us? Is it that dirt fake? Is it that telling Cui Hao in his diary? The same? ”
After the blood was dripping, Tan Wenbin handed over the bowl and sucked the wound on his fingertips.
Yin Meng was dripping very quickly.
After confirming their identity, everyone sat back and Shuyou Lin began to tell the story of what happened before.
But Ah You spoke stumblingly and not organized clearly. He said three sentences, Tan Wenbin had to ask a few questions, and finally Xue Liangliang took over the job and started to tell.
After hearing this, Tan Wenbin smashed his mouth: "This trick is really weird. Do you want to touch our bottom? What after you touch it?" >
Shuyou Lin said naturally: "After knowing yourself and your enemy, you will attack us."
Tan Wenbin spread his hands: "Then we are all divided today. Why didn't she take advantage of this opportunity to start directly ? ”
Lin Shuyou was stunned for a moment and said, "Maybe, she is more cautious?"
Tan Wenbin lit a cigarette: "But if it were me, I would choose to take the opportunity to find a single couple first and try to take action. See if you can kill two of them first."
Shuyou Lin was convinced and nodded, "Yes, I will try to start first to see the effect."
Tan Wenbin took it out Zhuyuan's talisman paper was pressed to the glass residue on the ground, but the talisman paper did not change color: "Can't the talisman paper be measured?"
Shuyou Lin: "The formations arranged by Xiaoyuan Ge did not respond to them. OK In, they have no attack power and are even very low in threat."
Tan Wenbin: "Then what is the purpose of her efforts to do this? Killing people is just a matter of slightest. Is she showing off her skills to us?"
Li Zhuiyuan: "Let's summarize the information collected by each group today. Maybe her real purpose will be hidden here."
Next, the three groups began to report the investigation results.
Xue Liangliang went to inspect the construction site. The construction site was generally normal. Of course, because the construction site is still in a state of suspension, it is difficult to see anything.
However, Xue Liangliang and Lin Shuyou discovered some details, that is, there were altars and incense burners in many corners of the construction site, and some places were pasted with talisman paper.
This means that the construction unit has not caused doubts about the frequent accidents on the construction site. It should have also tried to invite some nearby masters to do rituals and drive away evil spirits, but it is obvious that it has not played any role.
Tan Wenbin got a lot of useful information through his visit to the village.
On New Year's Eve, there were villagers in the nearby mountains, and they were suspected to have seen Cui Hao and Li Ren, because they were wearing work clothes, and the only people wearing that kind of clothes in the entire village were the technicians in the construction team.
However, after calling them, the two people ran away immediately like frightened animals, which made the village people wonder if they were dazzled.
There are also villagers in the village who said that on the second day of the lunar calendar, they took their wife back to her parents' home. When they came back the next day, they found that a lot of the New Year goods left at home had been stolen, but money was left on the table.
Tan Wenbin suspected that Cui Hao and Li Ren might still be alive, but they hid in the mountains and dared not show up in the village.
They should be the ones who steal things and leave money. After all, as technicians from other places, these two people must be worried about their survival ability in the wild, and they are even less than those young children in the village.
In addition, the villagers also generally reported that in recent years, not only the villages, but also the nearby villages and even towns, there have been frequent reports of children selling.
It’s just that there are children who will meet an old woman dressed in worn out while playing, holding his hand and asking questions.
The bolder child broke free and ran away, and the timid ones burst into tears, which attracted adults.
But no adult has ever seen this old lady, and in recent years I have never heard of any child being really abducted.
Children are very forgetful and can't remember this after sleeping for a few days, or the more they say it, the more outrageous it becomes.
Adults just think that the children are naughty and deliberately make up lies. It may be that someone tells the story of "Old Becoming a Woman" to their children is too vivid and in-depth, so that the story will be spread among the children. When I saw an old lady, I felt that I had encountered an old lady.
This kind of thing would not have been mentioned by the villagers, but there was an adult in the village who firmly believed that his child had not lie and really saw the old woman.
It was also the daughter who married into a town in another province after the New Year, and returned to the village to visit them with her son-in-law and grandson.
Their grandson didn't even speak the local dialect, and couldn't play with the children in the village, and they arrived at night. The next morning, he said that he was pulled out of the door by an old woman last night and touched him on the dam. After touching him, the old woman said to him, "No, I'm not satisfied."
The grandson was so scared that he had a fever, so his daughter and son-in-law left the village early.
The deskmate who was drinking with him said that his daughter and son-in-law couldn't stand it in the mountains. He said unconvincedly that his daughter was very good, and his son-in-law also helped the family chop firewood and did not have any city people. He was so spoiled that his grandson was simply unlucky and ran into an old lady as soon as he got home.
Li Zhuiyuan also told his experience in the Miao village.
Tan Wenbin shook the ashes and couldn't help but smile:
"With this story of becoming a woman, it is a Grimm fairy tale that belongs to children in Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan."
Runsheng, who had been eating compressed biscuits, drank a large jar of water and breathed a sigh of relief after drinking a long can of water. , as a tractor used him during the day, he has finally filled up the "oil".
When he was eating, he was actually listening with his ears pricked up. Although he could basically get as much as his left ear into his right ear, he had at least kept it in his mind.
Runsheng burped and said, "Why does she seem to be picking a child?"
...
In the underground cave with tide, thick liquid seeps out from time to time from the surrounding rock walls, and finally extends downwards, fading away the variegated colors, forming crystal clear inverted cones.
Below, there is a small sacrifice temple.
The runes that should have been shining clearly around the temple are now mottled and fallen off.
On the central round platform, the originally thick and thick iron chains were also broken and rotten.
A woman with disheveled hair and face was sitting there. Her skin was rough and cracked, and many places were cracked too deeply, and even white bones could be seen.
She lowered her head and patted her belly with her hands.
"Ba! Ba! Ba!"
As the sound of slapping, her belly became bigger and bigger, and her belly became more and more transparent, and finally almost became a piece of glass , you can clearly see inside your stomach.
Inside, there was a baby lying, with his eyes closed, his whole body dark and dead.
The woman's hands kept stroking her transparent belly, her left eye showed sharpness and hideousness, while her right eye showed kindness and compassion.
"Child, after so many years, my mother has finally found you who is satisfied with me.
Mom will continue to look at him in the mirror and make him clear and carefully so that you can Become him.
You will like him everything, because he is good-looking and smart, hehe..."
Along with the woman's talk and caress, she The child in his belly, the dark skin color slowly faded away, gradually showing the texture of an ordinary normal child. At the same time, the child is growing up, from babies to children, and finally forming a very inconsistent feeling. .
Because of its size, it should be similar to a five-year-old child in reality, but he is still in a woman's belly and has not been born.
And, the child's appearance has become five points like Li Zhuiyuan.
