Chapter 93 Solve the Puzzle

When she woke up the next day, Ruan Su rubbed her eyes and found that there was no one around her.

The sky was slightly bright, like five or six o'clock.Ruan Su put on her clothes and went out again. When she walked out of the corridor, she found that the rest of the people were awake, Xiao Huan was washing up, and Peng Ming boiled warm water for everyone.Jiang Kefan unpacked a bunch of candy wrappers, chewing and gulping water.

Seeing Ruan Su, Jiang Kefan almost choked.

Peng Ming helped him calm down, dumbfounded, "How can you still choke on drinking water?" Seeing Ruan Su who was going downstairs, he greeted him, "Ah, good morning."

Ruan Su glanced at Jiang Kefan, who immediately looked away, stood up unnaturally, and randomly grabbed the candy wrappers on the table: "...I'm going to take out the trash."

After Jiang Kefan stumbled away, Ruan Su smiled, pointed to the master bedroom door behind him, and mouthed to Peng Ming, "Is Lao C awake?"

Peng Ming shook his head, and Ruan Su patted him on the shoulder: "I'm going to wash up. Then go to see the well."

Then, Ruan Su followed Jiang Kefan's pace and walked to the bathroom.He just took out the trash and is washing his face in cold water.Hearing the sound of footsteps behind him, he turned his face in the splash of water, with a bit of astonishment on his face, but his ears blushed uncontrollably.

"...for what?"

Jiang Kefan took a stiff step back, so cautious that he almost knocked over the trash can.

Ruan Su glanced at him, teasing him intentionally, and went straight to the sink as if nothing happened: "Clean in the morning."

When he passed by Jiang Kefan, Jiang Kefan had a conditioned reflex and almost had goosebumps.The scenes of last night were still vivid, making people feel ashamed and embarrassed.He blushed and had no choice but to turn around and try to escape.

But Ruan Su suddenly changed his face, and refused to let him run away, and gave Jiang Kefan a thunderous "wall dong" as soon as he raised his hand.

"You," Jiang Kefan almost bit off his tongue, "Didn't you wash up!!"

Ruan Su smiled, "I'm lying to you, I just want to be alone with you for a while."

Jiang Kefan: "..."

Ruan Su stared at Jiang Kefan for a while, the hemostatic gauze on his head hadn't been changed, the bloodstains from yesterday were still there, and he still looked a bit hideous.

I wiped the gauze with my hand, the blood was dry and there was no new bleeding.

Seeing his serious expression, Jiang Kefan softened his movements: "...what are you doing?"

Seeing that Jiang Kefan had no intention of slipping away, Ruan Su withdrew his hand.Smiled at him: "It's not very annoying...is it?"

Originally, he wanted to pretend that he didn't know how to fool around, but Ruan Su took the initiative to bring this up, and Jiang Kefan couldn't help recalling what happened last night, and his face began to feel ashamed again.

"Yesterday... I just wanted to sleep," Jiang Kefan lowered his head, and stammered, "But you—why do you want to do that?"

It's impossible to say, because you are so beautiful and delicious, and you are half-hearted, so let's eat your tofu intentionally.

After much deliberation, Ruan Su finally chose an irresponsible answer, and repeated the old trick: "Actually, that is also a therapeutic behavior..."

"...Who are you fooling!!"

This time, Jiang Kefan didn't believe him anymore, and just raised his middle finger.

"Okay, let me tell you the truth." Ruan Su coughed lightly, and put on a serious expression, "That's because I like it. Because I like it, I want to get closer to you, hold hands, kiss a few times, and... ..."

Ruan Su drew circles twice on Jiang Kefan's chest with his fingers, the meaning inside was self-evident.

Jiang Kefan blushed, but was confused: "I like Peng Ming too—but I never think that way about him."

"This is the difference between our 'likes'." Ruan Su said with a half-smile, "The sentence you asked me first yesterday... proves that you actually think the same way, doesn't it?"

Jiang Kefan's movements froze, and Ruan Su's rhetorical question made him really start to think seriously.But he thought hard for a long time, and finally his expression only became more and more bewildered.

"……I have no idea."

Ruan Su paused, and finally gave up on persecuting him.

In fact, it's not that he's impatient... As long as Jiang Kefan doesn't reject himself, that's enough.

"Okay, don't be awkward." So Ruan Su didn't make things difficult for Jiang Kefan any more, just imitated Peng Ming's movements, and patted his head, "Go outside, the game is about to end."

Jiang Kefan blushed, and shook off Ruan Su's hand uncomfortably, "...Understood, don't mess around."

Seeing Jiang Kefan running away in a hurry, Ruan Su raised the corners of his lips and subconsciously chuckled.

Look, in fact, he has two feelings for himself and Peng Ming.

It's just that this dull little fool hasn't noticed it yet.

After leaving the bathroom, Ruan Su found that other people had already groped in the backyard.

The location of the well is very remote, and it is easy to overlook it if you don't look carefully.Jiang Kefan was the first to find out the clue, and he called the other two people over.Peng Ming helped him push away the weeds, revealing the old dry well.

Now, the truth is at hand.

Unlike the darkness of that night, today's daylight illuminates the well clearly.As soon as he approached the dry well, a strong rotten smell hit his face.

It's like livestock manure, and it's more like the smell of carrion.It immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Ruan Su still pulled out a long branch first, stuck it into the dry well, and fumbled around.

"There's something..." Ruan Su said suddenly, "It's a bit hard."

Peng Ming was also a little nervous: "What?"

Ruan Su took the branch back, turned to Xiao Huan and said, "Go get a broom."

The bottom of the well was covered with a layer of dead branches and leaves, but there seemed to be something hidden underneath.You have to remove the debris first to see it.

Xiao Huan immediately went to find a small broom and came back. The others made room for light, and Ruan Su tied the broom to the branch and stretched it out carefully.

After pushing away the miscellaneous leaves, a severed arm covered with green spots appeared in everyone's field of vision.

Xiao Huan was the first to be frightened, and took a step back with a pale face: "Ah! Then, what is that—"

That's really a human arm.Peng Ming frowned, and looked at Jiang Kefan.Ruan Su pushed aside some leaves, and more human limbs appeared in front of everyone.

Broken corpses, the blood of the mutilated limbs had solidified, some were so rotten that the white bones were exposed, exuding a disgusting rotten smell.After counting, there were at least three or four of them.

Obviously, this is evidence that the victim was dismembered and then dumped here.

"Who are these people?" Peng Ming widened his eyes in surprise, "Could it be those missing villagers..."

Compared with the three of them, Ruan Su's reaction was much calmer.He had already expected this situation.

They discovered the well on the first night they arrived here, but at that time they didn't care too much, they only thought that there were branches and weeds underneath, but they didn't expect that this was actually the place where the murderer hid his body.

In this way, though, all the logic makes sense.

"If the guess is correct," Ruan Su replied to Peng Ming, "it should be Master Ai's group."

In other words, after the accident, those local snakes who had bullied Li Ren headed by Mrs. Ai did disappear one after another.It turned out that they were not only killed, but their bodies were also discarded in this abandoned well in the backyard of Lao Bing's house.

This is really unexpected, no wonder no one has found their whereabouts.

Jiang Kefan was even more puzzled: "How did they appear in Lao C's well!? I thought these people disappeared... they were really taken away by the mirror."

Ruan Su shook his head, "They were not taken away by the mirror, but the mirror did play a key role in it."

"what?"

Ruan Su looked at him and said word by word, "Poisoning causes hallucinations."

"what?"

"The brain is a very smart organization. Sometimes, especially in an unknown environment, what we see will be 'processed' by our subconscious mind." Ruan Su explained in a deep voice, "In fact, there is no such thing as a ghost encounter. .It is because we have been poisoned, or—in other words—the people in this village are all poisoned. They see the source of their terror—the mirror, and under the catalysis of fear and poison, they have hallucinations of their own. 'Fabricated' those supernatural phenomena."

"You mean..." Jiang Kefan was shocked, "Those things are all our imaginations!?"

Peng Ming murmured: "It's a hallucinogen..."

"That's right. We were all affected and poisoned, and had hallucinations." Ruan Su frowned, "The ghosts we saw—maybe just a few night owls passing by, maybe just a wild flower along the way , but under the action of drugs and the guidance of consciousness, it turned into distorted grimaces one after another."

"And the person who led us to think in that direction—" He paused, and finally said, "It's Lao C."

Jiang Kefan suddenly seemed to be struck by lightning, and all the pictures flashed in front of his eyes like a marquee.

"So, after he told us the rumor about the loss of souls of the mother and child, we really hit a ghost." Ruan Su continued word by word, "So...we were in the first 'Crossing the Tribulation Night' The hair of the female ghost caught in it will be exactly the same as the hair of the cat."

"What? What hair?"

Ruan Su rummaged through her pocket and took out a ball of fluff: "Do you remember this?"

Jiang Kefan recalled it with just one glance.It was the hair that Ruan Su tore off when he was fighting the "female ghost" that night, and he showed it to Jiang Kefan the next day.

"After we parted yesterday, Lao C told me the story of ghost soldiers and ghost generals, which guided my subconscious mind and really 'believed' the existence of such things. I was alone in the basement, and I had hallucinations again. After being rescued, Jiang Kefan didn't see the ghost I mentioned." Ruan Su said, "But after I told him, Jiang Kefan could finally see that grimace. As a result, at the last hour of last night, that grimace Turned into a tabby cat—these are the best proofs."

The rest of the people looked at each other, and then suddenly realized.

Jiang Kefan had a chill, "So, what we were afraid of for a long time was just a cat!?"

This is too low!

Peng Ming sighed rather fearfully: "Sometimes, the most terrifying thing to fear is itself."

Ruan Su nodded in approval, and added: "Including the 'Longyuan' and 'Ruan Yue' we saw in the mirror...that's all caused by our deepest thoughts. It's the brain that helps you 'shape' you The person I want to see the most."

Jiang Kefan also recalled the first time he saw Longyuan in the mirror, and his mood suddenly became a little complicated.

Peng Ming raised his head and looked at Ruan Su with admiration: "These... how did you get them?"

Ruan Su paused, and said in a deep voice,

"It was 'Ruan Yue' who reminded me."

Jiang Kefan couldn't help raising his eyes to look at him, Ruan Su then recalled: "When confronting Ruan Yue, she said a word to me. 'Because I have always been in your heart, it is your obsession that shaped me. '."

Hearing what Ruan Su said, Peng Ming was somewhat moved.It's actually not easy to find my sister alone in this game for more than ten years.He patted Ruan Su on the shoulder: "You really want to get your sister back."

Ruan Su smiled wryly.

"To this day, I sometimes can't tell...whether I did this for her, or just selfishly to make myself feel safe."

Peng Ming was startled, but before he could figure out what these words meant, Xiao Huan next to him asked softly, "But...you said we were drugged...then how did he poison us all at the same time?"

"I just discovered this too yesterday." Ruan Su raised his eyes, "There are several ways of poisoning, including oral, respiratory, skin and mucous membranes, and... injection. His technique is very clever, you guess - the village Why is there so much fog here?"

A few people looked at each other, and their faces were invariably horrified.

"On the first day Jiang Kefan and I came here, he cooked us a pot of 'soup and rice'. He said that it was a special delicacy here, and the taste was very unique. I suspect that he added the medicine to it. Inside." Ruan Su pondered for a while, and continued, "As for the mist...there is a high probability that it is the mist emitted by a large amount of boiled medicinal herbs. Once inhaled, it is easy to cause poisoning reactions, and it is impossible to prevent."

"And there is only one person who has such a huge amount of medicinal herbs and knows which herbs are enough to cause hallucinations."

Jiang Kefan interjected, "Li Ren!?"

Peng Ming was also shocked. He didn't expect to come to such a conclusion: "Could it be that Li Ren cooperated with him..."

"Lao C has no reason to harm his son." Ruan Su frowned and shook his head, "If there were any suspicions, Lao C would not live with their husband and wife, and would hand over his shop to him. Let them run it."

"Could it be," Xiao Huan suddenly had a bloody thought, and said timidly, "Actually, they snatched that shop..."

"I haven't thought about this point clearly." Ruan Su raised his eyes, "But apart from the situation of cooperation, there is only one possibility left."

"what?"

Ruan Su only said: "We were completely deceived."
