God's Gift

On the other side, Lu Keming stood by the window, one hand on the windowsill, looking at the rain outside with misty eyes.

In the distant swamp, in the heavy white rain, the reeds lowered their stems and their long leaves floated in the water.

The Crowmen stood sparsely in the swamp.

Hearing hurried footsteps behind him, Lu Keming frowned slightly and turned around.

"Young Master!" Anthony ran to Lu Keming, panting.

"What's wrong?" Lu Keming said in a faint voice.

"Something happened to the people who went to the forest!" Anthony sent the video from the smart brain to Lu Keming, "They found a huge underground cave deep in the forest, but encountered a horned owl on the way back."

"They saw a body in the forest. There was a notebook next to the body. When they were filming, a horned owl suddenly jumped out. Then they fell to the ground one after another as if their bones were pulled out. Then they completely lost all signs of life."

Lu Keming opened the video sent by Anthony.

The video footage sent back by the intelligent computer was of the Blue Dragon members in the forest. They filmed the location of the underground cave and found a dead body when they turned to leave.

There was a diary next to the body. A member walked up, picked up the diary and took a photo.

But a strange cry was heard from the empty forest, which seemed particularly scary in the dark and quiet forest.

After the call, a horned owl flew over.

That horned owl was not much different from other ordinary horned owls, except that its eyes were glowing purple-red, and those eyes were particularly obvious and strange in the video.

After being stared at by those eyes, the people holding the video collapsed to the ground one after another, like deflated balloons or a pile of rotten meat, with only a piece of skin left, lying loosely on the ground.

Lu Keming stared at the video with deep eyes. His emotions did not fluctuate at all because of the deaths of those members. Instead, he kept staring at the horned owl in the video.

Swamp, crows, trout, forest, horned owl, ...

These are the things that appeared in Ye Li’s dreams.

What do they represent?

"But fortunately, they sent back photos of the notes before they were eliminated." Anthony sighed and continued.

"I looked at the photo of the note, and the handwriting is the same as the note we picked up when we first arrived at the castle. I guess it's the diary left by the person who was trapped here before."

Anthony sent photos of the notes taken by the team members to Lu Keming.

Lu Keming clicked on the photo and scanned the note photos with gloomy eyes.

The notebook was already very old. It had been exposed to wind and rain in the forest. The handwriting on it was blurred, and the ink spread across the pages, leaving faint black marks.

Lu Keming enlarged the photo a little and carefully identified the blurry words on it.

[On the fifth day, the rain outside the castle continued to fall, and we lost two more companions. The woman in white seemed to be able to confuse people. Her attack power was extremely strong. We tried to kill her together, but we still suffered heavy casualties...]

The font in the middle is blurry and unrecognizable.

[The... mud monster at the bottom of the swamp... won't hurt people... the mud that falls from its body can heal wounds...]

[Thank God, there is no medicine available in this castle. This mud saved us!]

Lu Keming's finger that was sliding on the photo paused for a second.

Wendigos can't hurt people and they also have healing abilities?

There was a flash in his eyes, and he remembered the puddle of water by the window that he saw in Yu Youyou's bedroom yesterday, and the shoes in her bag that should have been thrown away but appeared again.

So Yu Youyou opened the window because of Wendigo.

She really is...

Lu Keming lowered his eyelids, hiding the cold emotions in his eyes, and a cold arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.

So when did she know?

But he pretended to know nothing and hid it from all of them.

Lu Keming shook his hand and flipped the photo in the notebook to the back.

[The owner of this castle is called Andy... I always feel that this name is particularly familiar. Maybe I have heard of Andy's name somewhere, but I can't remember clearly...]

[Day 6. Today I walked around the castle again, and I realized that I might have seen this castle before...]

[…I probably saw its photo in the newspaper, but I didn’t read the news carefully at that time, and the news was quickly removed…God, I really shouldn’t have been so careless, that might have saved our lives…]

After that, the writing became completely unreadable.

And this is not the full picture of the notebook. Because of the horned owl, the Blue Dragon members did not have time to take pictures of the entire notebook.

Lu Keming turned off his smart brain and turned his head indifferently to look at Anthony.

"Go find the Wendigo, have our men remove the mud from its body, continue into the forest with the mud, and bring back the notes."

"Yes." Anthony responded without any hesitation.

-

Yu Youyou crawled from the fireplace into the ventilation duct, and followed the slime in a winding manner for a long distance, but did not see the woman again.

Yu Youyou knelt in the pipe and scratched her head. The coal dust on her hands got on her head again, and her white skirt became dirty.

"Well……"

Yu Youyou muttered something, stepped back a little, and was about to return the same way when she heard voices coming from below.

The sound was very familiar. Yu Youyou's eyes lit up. She searched in the pipe and finally found a lid.

She crept over, opened the lid, and saw the two people facing each other underneath the lid.

"Did you see the woman in white coming here yesterday on the surveillance camera?" Lu Keming downstairs was asking Anthony.

"Not yet, sir." Anthony was also a little confused. Judging from the time, the woman should have come by this time yesterday when it rained.

But the surveillance cameras they placed outside the castle window did not capture the woman's shadow.

Yu Youyou, who was sticking her head out of the vent, just happened to hear these words. Her dark, watery eyes rolled around and she said something happily.

"That sister is gone!"

Lu Keming, who was standing below, nodded subconsciously, and after a few seconds he suddenly raised his head and looked above him.

Yu Youyou, with a dark face, had her toothless mouth open with a smile on her face, her messy hair hanging down, and she was looking at Lu Keming happily.

Anthony was startled by the scene before him, rolled his eyes, and quickly stepped back, "Ghost!"

Lu Keming and Yu Youyou looked at each other.

Yu Youyou blinked.

Lu Keming took a deep breath, looked at Yu Youyou, whose face was pitch black, and asked in disbelief, "Why are you here?"

"Because that sister crawled away from here, I followed her here!" Yu Youyou answered happily.

Lu Keming looked at Yu Youyou.

Yu Youyou tilted her head.

Lu Keming couldn't understand it. He raised his hand and put it down again. He asked incredulously: "So you just crawled over here with her?"
