what's weird

"My name is Fang Xuchen, and I'm in the same class as Xinyi. We are both from the English department." After a moment of silence, Fang Xuchen finally said, "Xinyi is very popular in our department. Many people get along well. Her family is rich, and she often invites some of our classmates to dinner, and she is not as hypocritical as other girls at all, so we boys like to play with her."

That's right, a cheerful, talkative and beautiful girl like Yao Xinyi is indeed the white moonlight in the eyes of boys, and it happens to be a thorn in the eyes of girls, because in the subconscious, people will always think of girls who are easy to get along with boys See it as a scheming, as to whether it is the truth or jealousy, it is a matter of benevolence.At least in Fang Xuchen's eyes, Yao Xinyi has always been a perfect goddess.

"Then one day Xinyi saw a report about Longquanling Scenic Spot on the Internet, and she said she wanted to go there for an adventure, and asked who of us would like to go with her. Xinyi usually likes these weird things, like haunted houses, bungee jumping, surfing, jumping The more exciting she is, the more she loves to play. I said that the scenic spot is just a barren mountain, there is nothing interesting, but she said that it is not fun during the day, so go at night, and you will always find something different.” Fang Xuchen said, “Then everyone will She was busy preparing for the exam, so no one took care of her. Xinyi was very disappointed and depressed all day long, so I said, why don’t I go with you on a weekend, just to relax. Xinyi was very happy to hear that, and We called the other two boys together, and the four of us set off."

"Who are those two people?" Feng Ze asked.

"One is a senior in senior year, named Li Pinghao, and the other is also a classmate in our class, named Qian Bo." Fang Xuchen lowered his head and said angrily, "If I didn't tell Xinyi that I would accompany her to Longquanling, maybe I wouldn't This happened."

After he calmed down for a while, he continued: "We rented a car and went to Longquanling and found a hotel to stay in. When it was around [-] o'clock in the evening, Xinyi urged us to leave one by one. We are not familiar with the scenic spot. It was almost ten o'clock when I was groping for a place, and the gate of the scenic spot was closed early. I originally said that it would be fine to take a look, and there was no need to climb over the wall to enter, but Xinyi refused. We couldn't hold her back, so we had to find a place to look for go in."

"The scenic area is very big, and there are no lights at night. We rely on the luminous signs to find the way. Everyone is very nervous. They are afraid that they will meet patrolling people. If the school finds out, they must make a big mistake. In fact, there It’s really nothing to see, just some broken adobes. Qian Bo said that he had a stomachache and it was convenient to find a place, but he didn’t see the toilet, so he went into the woods to solve it. The three of us were waiting for him outside. I got so close to Xinyi, and even made a fuss about it, I was so annoyed that I said a few words to him. That kid rushed up and wanted to fight with me, and when Xinyi got angry, he ran away and ignored us."

A beautiful girl, three boys with different thoughts, appeared in the wilderness in the middle of the night, how could it be an ordinary, ordinary night?

Although Feng Ze is not interested in the gossip between these young people, Yao Xinyi's disappearance is directly related to the ruins, and perhaps he can use this to unlock the secrets in the ruins.Feng Ze signaled him to continue talking.

Fang Xuchen sighed, and seemed to be regretting the impulsiveness of the day: "Li Pinghao insisted on grabbing Xinyi and asking her to tell her who she likes. I saw them gossiping, and they rushed up in a fit of anger and punched Li Pinghao. We The two wrestled together like this. At first we could hear Xinyi yelling for us to stop, but at that time we were all overwhelmed by jealousy, so we couldn't hear it. When we came back to our senses, Xinyi had already It's gone. We thought she was angry and hid, but we didn't dare to shout loudly for fear of attracting attention, so we were going to look around, and at this moment, Qian Bo came back..."

Fang Xuchen's voice paused, and a look of incomparable fear appeared on his face: "Qian Bo said, when Li Pinghao and I were fighting, he saw figures around us in the woods, one by one, looking at us like that..."

Feng Ze's face darkened, and his brows furrowed.Fang Xuchen calmed down for a while before continuing: "Of course we don't want to believe it. He said that he saw Xinyi follow the shadows with his own eyes. He hid in the woods because he was petrified. Qian Bo is a man. He is usually quite honest, and there is no need for him to lie to us about this kind of thing. We panicked at that time, and we searched around but couldn’t find Xinyi. Opened it, and I saw... and I saw..."

Fang Xuchen took a step back and pointed at the dense weeds and trees around him, as if the scene at that time was still in front of his eyes: "I saw that the scenic area was full of figures, dark and everywhere! I was so frightened that Li Pinghao came over to have a look At one glance, we were so frightened that we fell to the ground, and the three of us rushed down the mountain like howling ghosts and howling wolves, and we didn't remember Xinyi until we met the patrolling security guards."

The scene of that day lingered in Fang Xuchen's mind like a nightmare, and his eyes were still full of fear at the moment: "We dare not tell the security about the ghost, for fear that they will not go to Xinyi. Later we were taken back to the office, At about three in the morning, they brought Xinyi back. Xinyi was covered in dirt and mud, as if she had just crawled out of a hole. No matter how we asked her, she would not say."

"Have you told the police about these things?" Feng Ze asked.

Fang Xuchen shook his head: "We dare not say, if we hadn't fought at that time, Xinyi might not have disappeared at all. We are all afraid that this matter will affect his grades, and Li Pinghao is taking a postgraduate entrance examination. If the school finds out about this matter, he It is very likely that we will be disqualified. So we reached an agreement, insisting that Xinyi and us got separated accidentally. Besides, the police pay attention to evidence in handling cases. Even if we tell them what we saw, they will not believe."

Perhaps it was because of their selfishness that Yao Xinyi lost the last chance to be rescued.What happened next was already mentioned by Luo Shan when Feng Ze was in Hanchang, but he didn't stop Fang Xuchen from continuing.

"Since returning to school, Xinyi has not come to school. I thought she was frightened, so I wanted to find some time to visit her. These two cowards, Li Pinghao and Qian Bo, refused to go and said they would go Draw a clear line with Xinyi, saying that Xinyi and those things can get together, it must be abnormal. I was so angry that I scolded them and prepared to go to find Xinyi by myself, but on that day, the school came Several policemen took the three of us away, and only then did we know about Xinyi's disappearance."

"We have been staying in the school since we came back from Longquanling. We have never been anywhere. Teachers and classmates can testify. The police saw that there was no suspicion, so they let us go. The bastard Li Pinghao actually said that Xinyi must have been killed by those things. Lost away, told me and Qian Bo not to look for him again, as if we had never known each other. Xin Yi is missing, this bastard is still making trouble, if Qian Bo didn't stop him, I would definitely beat him up all over the floor Looking for teeth! He deserves to be dead now!"

"You said Li Pinghao is dead?" Feng Ze was startled.

"Yes, on the tenth night after Xinyi disappeared, he suffered a heart attack while playing basketball, and it was already too late when the ambulance arrived." Fang Xuchen said, "According to those present at the time, he He yelled and yelled, as if he had seen something particularly terrifying, and fell straight down like that, frightening everyone present. Although everyone has known each other for so long, I think he is a scum, damn it!"

Calculated according to the time, the time of Li Pinghao's death happened to be the third day after they left Hanchang. At that time, Luo Shan should have just arrived in Yicheng, so even she didn't know about it.From Fang Xuchen's narration, Feng Ze clearly felt that this incident revealed a strange atmosphere from the very beginning. Whether it was Yao Xinyi's disappearance or Li Pinghao's sudden death, it was too unusual. However, Fang Xuchen's next steps Feng Ze was even more surprised.

"I thought Li Pinghao's death was an accident, but I didn't expect Qian Bo to die on the fourth day after his sudden death." If Fang Xuchen's face was gleeful just now, it has been replaced by fear at this moment. "He didn't go to class that morning, and when his roommates came back, they found that he was completely cold. The doctor said that he had been dead for at least twelve hours. His roommates thought that they had slept with a corpse all night. I dare not go back to the dormitory.”

"How did he die?" Feng Ze asked.

"The school said that the organ failure was caused by severe allergies. Qian Bo has always been allergic to peanuts. He is usually very cautious. Every time he goes out to buy something or eat, the first thing he does is ask whether it contains peanuts. How is it possible? Still eating." Fang Xuchen glanced left and right, as if afraid of something popping out of nowhere, "I think Xinyi came back to take revenge, she hated us for leaving her that night, she wanted to kill all three of us Kill them all! Li Pinghao is dead, Qian Bo is also dead, it will be my turn soon, it will be my turn!"

His eyes were wide open, and his expression became distorted with fear. He leaned against a big tree, turned his head abruptly to the left, then to the right again, waving his hands aimlessly, and shouted incoherently: "I know it's Xinyi who's back! It's her! It must be her! It's Xinyi who's back!"

These words have been suppressed in his heart for too long, and when he really said them, fear and regret engulfed him like a tide, making his spirit on the verge of collapse.Feng Ze looked at Yehe, Yehe unscrewed a bottle of water from the bag he was carrying and handed it to Fang Xuchen, Fang Xuchen took it as if he was grabbing a straw, gulped it down, his chest heaved violently, panting rapidly, In this cold deep mountain, beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.
