The whole empire is watching my live broadcast of Tomb Raiding [Interstellar]

The Terry Township Police Station is located in the center of the town. Since the town is not big, it takes less than 10 minutes for a few people to walk there.

Du Leding took a look at the exterior of the police station, and felt that it was not as large as their police station.As soon as the door was pushed open, the wind chimes on the door jingled. There was only a policewoman in her 30s with a professional indifference. She glanced at them and asked them what was the matter.

Su Teng poked at the door coldly, Shi Qianjin looked lazily at the sky, Du Leding was very glad that he was not dumb in this life, otherwise he would have to die with these people.

He stepped forward to identify himself, and then gave a reasonable reason for them to find the little girl: "She is so young, running around in the middle of the night, I am worried whether she will return home safely."

The policewoman looked at Du Leding's sincere smile: "Describe that girl's appearance again."

Du Leding was patient, and described the girl's facial features, clothing and attire in detail.

The policewoman frowned, looked Du Leding up and down with suspicious eyes: "Do you know Valentine?"

Du Le Ding shook his head in confusion, he just wanted to find a little girl, how could he get involved with Valentine?Valentin will not be the "brother" in the mouth of such a beautiful little girl: "I don't know him. But I met him on the street when I first entered the town yesterday. After hearing Hodge's talk, I realized that the strange man is called Valentin." Ting."

The expression on the policewoman's face is difficult to describe, as if Du Leding is a strange person.She went to the desk beside her and turned on the computer. Du Leding saw that she clicked on a bunch of folders and entered the files from about ten years ago.

"Is this the girl you mentioned?" The policewoman clicked on a picture, which was a portrait of a sketch.

Du Leding was very excited: "She is right."

The policewoman frowned deeper: "If you're joking, I think you're in the wrong place."

Du Leding was inexplicable: "I'm not joking, I really saw this little girl last night, and she said she asked me to tell her brother that she came to find him."

The policewoman looked at the three of them one by one. Although she felt that the three of them were not here to find fault and make trouble, the doubts in their eyes deepened.She sat down on the chair and said: "As a policeman, I don't believe in any supernatural events. But if you are sure that the girl you saw was her, then I can only say that you have seen a ghost."

"What do you mean?" Du Le Ding said blankly, "Is there a ghost in your town?"

The policewoman shrugged: "So far, only Valentine and you have claimed to have seen this ghost. This sketch was drawn ten years ago. The reason I remember it so clearly is because it is the first real meaning I have ever done." on the case."

She clicked on a folder again and brought up a file, pointed to the photo on it and said, "Do you know who this is?"

The man in the photo has regular features, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and the corners of his mouth are slightly upturned. He is a lovable face.Du Leding smiled in surprise: "We are really first-time tourists. I don't know anyone in your town."

The policewoman glanced at him: "This is Valentine."

Du Leding: "..."

Shi Qianjin came over and took a look: "Hey, so handsome."

Even if the plastic surgery fails, there will not be such a big difference between before and after as Valentine.What does a person have to go through to become a monster?

Su Teng: "Does he have anything to do with this girl?"

The female policeman curled her lips: "I don't know. You have also seen the situation in our town. There are no major incidents at all, and occasionally there are trivial incidents. After adjusting it, everything will be calm. When I first entered the police station ten years ago, there were For a while, I was in a panic, until one day, someone reported that Valentine was missing."

Valentine once had a girlfriend, and the two had a very good relationship. At that time, they had already entered the stage of discussing marriage.

It was his girlfriend who came to report the case.It was Soul Hunting night. They had dinner at the restaurant and went to the cinema to watch a horror movie. Valentine sent his girlfriend home and walked home alone.

The next morning, his girlfriend called him, but no one answered.She didn't pay attention at the time, thinking that Valentine didn't bring a personal terminal with him when he went out.Later, she still couldn't get in touch with Valentine, so she went to find him at his work place, but her colleagues said that Valentine didn't come to work at all that day.

His girlfriend immediately went to Valentine's house, but he was not at home, and the bed hadn't even been moved, as if he hadn't come home at all last night.After asking the neighbors left and right, they all said that they hadn't seen Valentine all day, and his girlfriend began to feel that something was wrong.

She sat in front of Valentine's house and waited until late at night, and finally couldn't help but ran to the police station to report the incident.

The policewoman took a sip of water: "Disappearances often happen in the desert, but they are rarely heard of in the town. At that time, we all thought that Valentine might have left the town temporarily and would return in a few days. But he The girlfriend insisted that he was missing, because no matter what he was going to do, he would tell her in advance, and it was impossible to leave for no reason."

At first, the police station did not file a case, but they still sent people out to search the town.No one had seen Valentine after Soul Hunting Night, and he just disappeared without leaving a trace.

There were only six people in the police station. They were divided into three groups and searched for three days in the desert near the town. They also contacted the police stations in several nearby towns and asked them if there was such a person in the town.

In the end, nothing was found. Valentine evaporated like a drop of water falling on the desert.His girlfriend was heartbroken and couldn't believe that Valentine had left without saying goodbye, much less that he was dead.

"Half a month later," said the policewoman, "the monster you saw is back."

It rained suddenly that day, and a colleague of the female police officer was on duty at the police station. When he was bored, he watched a horror movie.At the critical moment, the wind chime hanging on the police station door rang, and when he looked up, a wet monster was rushing towards him, which frightened him into fainting.

He was awakened by the monster, and when he opened his eyes and saw the face whose skin was about to peel off, he immediately took out the pistol that was rarely used in a century, and got up tremblingly.

What made him even more horrified was that the monster kept repeating a sentence: "I am Valentine, you go and save Holly."

Since the monster didn't move further, he didn't shoot. He quickly called and called all his colleagues.The policewoman was also among them. She was going to spend a romantic night with her boyfriend that night, but she was suddenly called to the police station. She felt very upset. At that time, she thought that something unexpected might happen in this poor town. When she went to see it, she was frightened .

Not to mention that there were classmates in the same class as Valentine among them, even if his girlfriend came, they wouldn't recognize his ghostly appearance.Because they could not confirm his identity, they temporarily locked him up and took turns to interrogate him.

He said he was captured by a group of strange people and taken to a dreamlike place.When describing this process, his words were reversed, saying that the place was very dreamy for a while, and saying that there were corpses everywhere, it was hell.

The police suspected that he might be a lunatic, and they learned about Valentine from nowhere, so they played "role-playing".His emotions are indeed very unstable, and in the process of telling this experience, he kept asking them to save Holly.

After the police officer who interrogated him asked "Who is Holly", he suddenly fell into silence. Although his face was very stiff, he could see the look of astonishment in the only intact eye.

It wasn't until the fingerprints were checked that the police confirmed that the monster was indeed the missing Valentine.The facts are in front of them, even if they don't want to believe it, there is nothing they can do.

Since he was indeed Valentine, it was possible that what he said was true.It's just that he seemed to have been greatly stimulated, and his vocal cords were damaged, so what he said was incomprehensible.

After drawing Holly's portrait according to Valentine's description, the police determined that there was absolutely no such girl in the town, so they thought Valentine was crazy.

Du Leding: "Then does he remember where he has been?"

"Remember, he took us there," said the policewoman, raising her eyebrows. "It's on the side of the green sand in the warning area. After we arrived, we didn't find anything, so we judged that Valentine was indeed mentally ill. "

Valentine seemed unable to accept this fact, and told people about his experience everywhere.However, including his girlfriend, no one dared to approach him at all, and no one was willing to listen to his crazy words.

He also broke into Hodge's house at night and asked Hodge how he could forget Holly, which scared Hodge to call the police.

Du Le Ding's heart moved: "Valentin means that Hodge knows Holly, and the relationship is very close?"

"He said that Holly is Hodge's sister," the policewoman laughed, "Hodge is the only child, what kind of sister is she? go Ape."

Since then, Valentine never mentioned those incomprehensible words anymore, he became a silent monster, and everyone avoided him.Even his girlfriend moved to another town because she couldn't accept this fact.

"She said she didn't recognize any fingerprints," the policewoman relayed what Valentine's girlfriend said. "This person is not Valentine at all. The Valentine she loved is dead."

After finishing speaking, she pointed to the girl with a sweet smile on the screen: "So if you really see such a girl, you can only see hell. This police station does not accept supernatural cases. If necessary, please find someone else. "

The three of Du Leding and the others were sent out, and stood on the side of the road looking at each other, unable to react for a short time.

Su Teng pondered and said: "Valentin's experience sounds exactly the same as what you saw last night. His so-called strange people should be those ancient dead souls."

Shi Qianjin: "So it is said that it is Valentine who has been to the temple and seen the soul hunter."

Even with these clues, Du Leding still felt very puzzled: "What about Holly? Except for Valentine and me, no one in the town said they had seen her. And Valentine said she was Hodge's sister, but Everyone, including Hodge, said he was an only child."

Shi Qianjin suddenly stopped in her tracks: "You two go first, I have something I want to ask that policeman." Then she walked back.

Du Leding and Su Teng walked back, discussing the strangeness of this, and finally returned to Holly after going around.

A girl about the same age as Holly ran past him with a newly bought cone. He subconsciously glanced at it and murmured, "If Holly really exists, how come no one knows about her?" What? It couldn’t really be a ghost that I saw last night.”

As he spoke, he shivered, the more he thought about it, the more frightening he became.

Su Teng also glanced at the girl who ran over, but his attention fell on the cone in her hand.He smiled at Du Leding: "Want to eat a cone, I'll buy it for you."

Su Teng obviously wanted to ease the embarrassment between the two.Du Leding was a little embarrassed, after all, he was the one who said the wrong thing outright, but he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

He smiled and waved his hands and said, "No, I quit."

Su Teng's smile gradually subsided: "Are you going to hold on to that matter?"

Du Leding breathed heavily in his chest, he couldn't get up or down, and his tone was not very good: "What's wrong with me, you're the one who can't let go, I've asked you so many times and you're always hesitant, why can't you directly explain?"

"Then tell me first, why do you mind so much?" Su Teng approached Du Leding, staring closely at his eyes.

This question hit the point, making Du Leding speechless for a while.He also asked himself many times, if he just regarded Su Teng as an ordinary friend, would he still mind this matter?

At this time, the communicator in Duleding's pocket rang, and he pressed the call button and said perfunctorily, "Charlie, let's go back now."

The communicator was silent for a few seconds before Charlie's voice came over: "Ding Ding, come and save me."

Du Leding frowned: "What's wrong with you, what happened?"

Charlie's reply was slow: "I'm in a strange place."

Du Le Ding clenched the communicator: "Where?"

Charlie whispered: "I went to the broken house on the hill and saw a monster. Then I fell into the hole in the basement and passed out. Although I saw the ladder when I woke up, I didn't dare to go up. I was afraid of the monster. Stay outside."

After a while, Charlie continued: "I walked into the cave. There was wind in here. I thought it could lead to the outside, but I walked for a long time and there was no end."

Du Leding couldn't hear him clearly: "Why are you talking so quietly?"

Charlie whispered tremblingly, "I feel like I'm not alone in this hole."

"Try not to go far, I'll find you right away." Du Le Ding hung up the communication, just when Qian Jin also came back, and the three immediately returned to Hodge's house and drove to the old house on the hill.

Along the way, Su Teng and Du Leding did not speak.Shi Qianjin is used to seeing Su Teng's iceberg face, but Du Leding, who is cheerful all day long, also has a tense expression, which is a bit abnormal.

Although he was probably worried about Charlie, Shi Qianjin felt that the atmosphere between the two was a little delicate.

Du Leding saw Shi Qianjin's scrutinizing eyes from the corner of his eye, and broke the silent and awkward atmosphere in the car: "Could the monster Charlie saw be Valentine?"

The town kids said that where Valentine lived there was a big hole leading to hell, and that's how he crawled out of it.After listening to Charlie's description, Duledin speculated that there might be some mischievous children who once ran to Valentine's broken house and happened to see him coming out of the secret passage, so he described it as an extremely terrifying and strange scene.

But why did Valentine dig a secret tunnel?

Although in essence, Valentine is an ordinary person, it seems that he was quite popular in the past.But no matter how good a person is, after being tortured out of shape by unimaginable experiences, and then abandoned by relatives and friends, his mentality may not be normal.Du Leding was very worried about Charlie and tried to contact him with a communicator several times, but he couldn't get through.

The predator climbed up the slope with great power, and stopped roaring in front of the broken house door.The three grabbed the flashlight and rushed into the house, and immediately heard a movement.

The voice came from the door at the end of the corridor. The three of them walked over as quietly as possible, and saw a bright light through the crack of the door, and there was a figure at the end of the stairs.

Shi Qianjin asked the other two with her eyes: Is it Valentine?

Among the people who came together, only Su Teng and Du Leding have had close contact with Valentine, and the crooked figure is easy to recognize.The two shook their heads together with a sense of tacit understanding. The person downstairs was tall and straight, and looked familiar.

Just as the three of them made eye contact, the lights below suddenly went out.The three of them reacted quickly, and immediately realized that the person should have entered the secret passage described by Charlie.

The three of them opened the door with flashlights and entered. After descending the stairs, Du Leding looked around and couldn't help but say, "Has Valentin lived in this kind of place all the time?"

This dilapidated basement looked like a dungeon where perverts imprisoned boys and girls. No wonder the children in the town regarded Valentine as a monster.Su Teng opened the secret door and lit it with a flashlight. There was a ladder hanging in the dark hole, and the iron bars were already rusted.

Su Teng went down the stairs first, followed by Du Leding. While waiting, Shi Qianjin casually glanced at the environment in the basement, and saw some green sand beside the bed.

"Miss Qianjin, come down quickly!" Du Leding looked up, but the light above his head didn't move, so he quickly called out.

Shi Qianjin really walked into the secret passage like a young lady who needs three invitations and four invitations.

The three of them looked into the dark passage from under the ladder. It was pitch black, and there was a wind blowing in front of them just as Charlie said.

Du Leding took two deep breaths: "Do you smell anything?"

There was an indescribable smell from the wind in the dark passage, stench and pungent, but fortunately it wasn't very strong, so it wouldn't be unbearable.Ten minutes later, Du Leding said: "During the past ten years, Valentine has been digging tunnels? Where does he want to dig?"

The excavation marks on the top, bottom, left, and right of the underground passage are very obvious, and the section just after coming down the ladder is even more rough.The farther back, the straighter it becomes. It seems that Valentine has also dug out the technology and level in the years of excavation.

Su Teng: "We don't understand Valentine's experience, and of course we don't know what he is thinking. Just like those residents in the town, in their eyes, everything Valentine does is unreasonable and weird."

He glanced at Du Leding, and said lightly: "People will always speculate about things they can't understand, especially Valentine's appearance is really scary, and it uglifies all his actions. It's no wonder that this inexplicable secret passage, Conceived as the road leading to the abyss of hell."

Du Leding felt that there was something in his words, and he was a little upset: "Secret behavior will inevitably arouse suspicion. If Valentine is doing things aboveboard, why don't you dare let others know?"

Su Teng said calmly: "Maybe he has a difficult point, even if he says it, it won't be accepted."

Du Leding laughed and said: "He has never tried it, so why should he conclude that everyone can't understand and accept it?"

Shi Qianjin interrupted their argument: "Whether you are discussing Valentine or someone else, I don't understand."

Du Leding resentfully changed the subject: "By the way, what did you go back to the police station to ask?"

Shi Qianjin held a flashlight in one hand and kicked it in her pocket with the other, walking steadily without looking sideways: "Ask to see if there are any missing persons in recent years, especially those who haven't shown up after the Soul Hunting Festival."

Du Leding understood what he meant. He wanted to know if anyone was taken away by the ancient ghosts at the Soul Hunting Festival like Valentine: "What did the police officer say?"

"No." Shi Qianjin raised her eyebrows, "The female police officer said that although there have been four or five missing persons cases in the past ten years, they never happened around the Soul Hunting Festival."

Du Leding: "That's weird, they came here yesterday, so it can't be that those honeydew heads really played a role?"

Su Teng also thinks it's unlikely: "Could it be that there is something special about Valentine, or that the ancient ghosts haven't been to Terry Town in the past ten years, so no one has been taken away except him? "

Shi Qianjin slowly raised another possibility: "Or, people are taken away every year, and they didn't come back alive like Valentine."

Su Teng glanced at him: "Do you think the policeman concealed this?"

"That's not true." Shi Qianjin whispered, "What if those missing people are like Holly, and the traces of their existence are completely erased?"

Du Leding paused, and was shaken by Shi Qianjin's statement for a moment: "You mean, people who are taken away will disappear even the traces of their existence, and even the memories left in other people's minds?"

Shi Qianjin's guess is too sensational, if it is true, then a person disappears for no reason, no one even remembers him, and naturally no one will look for him.

"This is a bit too mysterious," Du Leding laughed, but felt a little uneasy in his heart, "How is it possible?"

Shi Qianjin wanted to say something more, but Duleding's communicator rang, and he quickly pressed the call button: "Charlie, we have entered the tunnel, where are you?"

Charlie was breathing heavily, and he sounded like he was running wildly: "Ding Ding, I met Valentine."

Du Leding quickened his pace: "He didn't do anything to you, did he?"

"Listen to me," Charlie said very quickly, "don't take off the rope on your wrist, the three of you must never take off the rope."

Du Leding subconsciously glanced at the red rope on his wrist: "Why is this rope..."

There was a loud "dang" sound from the communicator, which sounded like a heavy metal object hitting a stone.Du Leding's heart tightened, and he couldn't help raising his voice: "What happened?"

Charlie yelled twice, it sounded like he was crying, it seemed that he was terrified.After a while, his trembling voice came again: "Ding Ding, you must find me!"

With a "snap", there was no movement in the communicator. Du Leding called Charlie's name a few times but there was no response, but the call connection was not interrupted.

All three of them had frosty faces, staring closely at the communicator that was emitting the wind, and soon heard a creepy voice, which sounded like a ghost in the abyss rolling and howling in boiling oil, depressing and miserable The cry resounds and reverberates continuously in the vast expanse of the ground.
