Not long after heading east, his curses came from the passage, and he was terrified to hear the sound.

The atmosphere in the utility room became tense.

"To the east?" Chen Yang shouted towards the entrance of the passage.

No answer.

Chen Yang wanted to go down, but Chao Jian poked him aside with a cane: "Does the injury on your back hurt?"

"Let me pay attention..." Chen Yang was interrupted by Chao Jian before he finished speaking, "The passage is very narrow, you can't climb it, just stay calm."

"Could it be that people who died these days are all in the passage?" Qian Han, who was sitting on the ground, looked at the void, his eyes were sunken, his face was dead gray, and he couldn't see any youthful appearance.

Zhuzhu's face was covered by the shadow of the hat of the sunscreen shirt: "Stop talking..."

Qian Han didn't look at Zhuzhu, he continued: "There are so many people, if the dead bodies are piled up, it will be as high as a wall. In the mission world, human life is worthless."

"What are you talking about? Does it make sense?" Zhuzhu's short blue hair was as dull as withered grass. She raised her pale face from under the hat, "We are not policemen, messengers of justice, and even less saviors. We are Forced to bind the identity number to come in and do the task."

"We are just a group of people who want to go home!" Zhuzhu covered her face with her hands and broke down for no reason, "I want to go home...I want to go home, I want to go home..."

Qian Han closed his mouth and turned his head to the door of the utility room.

"How come going home has become such a heavy and difficult thing." Ge Fei mocked and stopped talking.

Chen Yang's thoughts couldn't help but get stuck in Zhuzhu's sentence "We are just a group of people who want to go home". He remembered something. In the small attic, Chao Jian said that his sister in the illusion hoped that he could go back. Without turning her head, she asked where she was going back, and said to Jane, go home.

After returning home, the tip of Chen Yang's tongue moved, and he silently read out those two words.

"Plop..." Chen Yang's heart skipped a beat. At that moment, something opened a small opening. Before he could catch it and see clearly, the small opening was closed.

"Our Brother Dong is not even afraid of ghosts, what can scare him like that in the passage?" Miss Qiao trembled with her cigarette in her hand, "His own corpse?"

These horrifying words froze the surrounding air for an instant.

Ms. Qiao didn't have the slightest awareness of scaring the children. She walked out of the utility room, leaning against an old tree, and slowly swallowed the clouds.

Xiang Zimu also went out, and she stood quietly in the yard, with her back to the door of the utility room.

Chen Yang withdrew his attention from Xiang Zimu, he held up his mobile phone, the light of the flashlight shone in from the entrance of the passage, and there was nothing in his field of vision, but he hoped that the reason why Xiang Dong was frightened and swearing was because he stepped on a green earthworm.

However, what Chen Yang and the others couldn't imagine was that there were no corpses or green earthworms in the passage, only cat excrement, a lot.

The meeting where Xiang Dong swears was really scary, because damn it, he landed on his face and rubbed himself in a puddle of cat urine.

A scene recorded in history.

Xiang Dong put Chen Yang's mobile phone in his mouth, freed his hands, took off his shirt and wiped his face, then he tore his shirt in half to cover his hands, and continued to crawl cursingly. He had long hands and long feet, a strong physique, and narrow The passage caused his arms and legs to be worn down from time to time, and when he came out, he had many burning pains on his body.

"Damn it!" Xiang Dong pulled off the dirty cloth from his hand, gasped and looked at the basement.

A few square meters in size, miscellaneous but not chaotic, with traces of being outstanding.

Xiangdong found something, he took his mobile phone and strode over to a place, and stared at it condescendingly, like staring at an enemy, his eyes were filled with anger.

Those were three cats, lying flat on the ground, motionless.

like people.

"Triples, right?" Xiang Dong sneered, and he approached the culprits who made him stink, and the three cats suddenly opened their eyes at the same time.

Not jumping away, not afraid.

Xiang Dong pinched the paw of the first cat, lifted it up in the air, and looked into its gray eyes: "Where is Gao Degui?"

The cat closed its eyes.

east:"………………"

The cat was thrown eastward to the ground, and he didn't respond to the other two "torture to extract confessions", or fart.

"It's fine." Xiangdong scratched his elbow that was bruised in the passage, "Okay, I've come in, I don't care about it for a while, I will spend it with you slowly."

One person and three cats lie in a row.

I don't know how long it took, when Xiang Dong fell asleep, he heard yelling, crying, and pleading for help in a daze, shrill and frightening, and his consciousness suddenly woke up.

The only sound in the basement was his heavy breathing.

Xiang Dong sat up with a strange face, I came down to find Gao Degui, why did I fall asleep, what happened to those messy voices just now?He stopped rubbing his sweaty face suddenly, and looked aside in the next second.

The three cats were gone.

Looking east to the entrance of the passage, the cat climbed up, and Chen Yang and the others would catch him straight away. After a few seconds, his face became extremely stinky.

At the thought of going back and climbing that passage, he wanted to bump his head to death.

Xiang Dong turned the basement upside down like a little devil entering the village, not to mention Gao Degui, he didn't even see a ghost.

"It's a waste of time, fuck it." Xiang Dong blew up angrily, walked towards the passageway with nothing to love, he pressed Chen Yang's cell phone, it's out of battery, fuck me.

Xiang Dong had no choice, he could only put Chen Yang's cell phone in his pocket, and crawled into the passage based on his memory and feeling when he came.

While the vision is blocked, other senses will be magnified multiple times, smelling the cat's excrement to the east, groping and climbing up with hands, touching the cold humidity.

After climbing for a while, Xiangdong suddenly stopped.

He wasn't the only one in the passage.

Others were also crawling, and the sound of flesh constantly rubbing against the inner wall of the passage rang in his ears.

A chill penetrated into Xiangdong's cerebral cortex, he tensed his muscles and shouted sharply: "Who? Gao Degui?"

It was his own echo that answered him.

At this moment, intermittent panting came from the depths of the passage, mixed with the sound of frantic crawling.

"I can't move anymore..." A weak female voice sounded.

"Climb if you can't climb!" said the older male voice.

"I... there seems to be someone behind me." A younger male voice.

"What nonsense, it's just the three of us, how can there be..." The older male voice changed his tone in vain, and yelled, "Climb quickly! Climb quickly! Hurry up!"

"hurry up--"

Listening to Xiang Dong's voice, he identified two men and one woman. The passage was very narrow, and he couldn't get away from him. Just when he was about to wait for someone to climb up to him, he felt the sound of rapid breathing brushing against his ears.

Someone crawled past him.

The smell of cat excrement disappeared at some point, and a strong earthy smell filled the surroundings. The pupils facing east were constricted. The passage had just been dug, and his bare upper body felt a little chilly.

Voices came from the depths of the passage again.

"I can't move anymore..." A weak female voice sounded.

"Climb if you can't climb!" said the older male voice.

"I... there seems to be someone behind me." A younger male voice.

"What nonsense, it's just the three of us, how can there be..." The older male voice changed his tone in vain, and yelled, "Climb quickly! Climb quickly! Hurry up!"

"hurry up--"

Exactly the same as before, someone passed by Xiang Dong again, and Xiang Dong's forehead tensed, he planned to ignore those voices, and crawled out in one go, when a face bumped into his face unexpectedly.

"Fuck you..." Xiang Dong's cursing stopped abruptly, and he touched that face, it was a human head.

Feeling cold to the east, he quickly retreated back to the basement, picked up the head in his hand and looked at it.

The skin has been boiled, there is no blood, the face and head have been gnawed by teeth, and the teeth marks in many places are deep enough to show bone.

This is obviously random gnawing, irregular, like eating.

Staring at the bumpy brows and eyes on the head to the east, he felt a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.

where……

There was a soft sound from behind, and before Xiang Dong could react, he saw a figure rushing towards him, snatching the head from his hand and weeping bitterly, extremely miserable.

Xiangdong glanced at Rentou and Gao Degui's faces, and got the answer.

There are many broken stones in the passage, each piece has been boiled and chewed, and it can't be put together.

Gao Degui slumped on the ground, dumbfounded.

Xiangdong looked at the three people in Gao Degui's arms and raised his eyebrows. The voices he heard were the pictures of the three people before they died.

They were hiding from something, anxiously trying to crawl through the passage and into the basement.

Unfortunately, they were found.

Kick Gao Degui to the east: "Are they all from your family?"

Gao Degui didn't speak or move, only the sound of exhaling and inhaling proved that he was still alive.

A cold snort came out of Xiang Dong's nose, he was smelly, but Gao Degui's clothes didn't have that smell.

There are other exits in the basement.

"Don't fucking play dead!" Xiang Dong yelled angrily.

Gao Degui didn't respond.

"Remember your entrustment? You asked us to find the person who took the most lifespan." Xiang Dong grabbed the middle-aged man on the ground, "You are the only one left in the town, Gao Degui, you are the one who ate the most name fish. Bar."

Gao Degui finally reacted, his mouth moved slightly: "I don't eat fish, I hate fish..."

Throw the person to the ground to the east, as long as he can talk.

In the utility room, Chen Yang was always paying attention to the situation at the entrance of the passage, but he did not expect Xiangdong's voice to come from outside the courtyard.

Dragging the half-dead Gao Degui to the east into the yard, the first sentence he said was "there are two exits in the basement, and the other leads to the river." He ran back from the river, sweating profusely and dripping from his head .

Xiang Dong briefly revealed what happened in the basement and passageway: "On the way back, I thought of a speculation, three cats, three human heads, these two may be the same soul."

Chen Yang looked at Gao Degui who was leaning against the door: "Mayor, shouldn't you tell the part you kept hidden?"

Gao Degui's blue jacket was covered in dust, his goatee and thinning hair were drooping and lifeless.

"I'm not hiding." His eyes were on the ground.

Chen Yang stopped Xiangdong who was going to do something, he took out a few sheets of raw paper that Chao Jian had stuffed in his backpack, smoothed them out one by one, and then looked up at Chao Jian.

"Six-character Great Ming Mantra, Upasaka Precept Sutra, Buddha's Amitabha Sutra..." Stretch towards Jian's crutch, press it against the rough-edged paper, and tap it from left to right.

All scriptures for saving the dead.

Zhao Jian's crutch touched the last piece of rough-edged paper, which was densely packed with 'wrong' and 'retribution'.

Gao Degui's head was lowered, without any response.

"Who are you saving? People whose lifespan was taken away, or those who ate other people's name fish and died, or," Chen Yang, "those cooked creatures?"

Gao Degui's eyes widened instantly.

Chen Yang took out the fortune-telling book, spread out the annotations on it, and then looked for a red umbrella, a stone with cat paw prints...

Every time he took out something, Gao Degui's face turned pale.

Gao Degui grabbed the stone and read the above two sentences word by word. He laughed a few times and burst into tears.

A past event that was sealed away by death and dust reappears in Gao Degui's tears.

That happened when Grandpa Gao Degui was alive.

There was a plague in the town many years ago, and his grandfather believed the monster's words and held a large living sacrifice.

Fish, mice, cats, babies, young girls, hundreds of souls died in that living sacrifice, and their bones were thrown into the river.

After that, strange things began to happen in the town, first it rained with boiling water, and then the name fish appeared.

No one knows what happened to the fish.

Grandpa Gao Degui didn't write it in his notes, and his life stopped on the way to record that event.

Until three years ago, the father of the female lunatic caught two named fish.

Those two fish were exactly 60 years away from the fish that Grandpa Gao Degui was in contact with.

The lunatic's husband is a cowardly and cowardly person. He was afraid that the name Yu would bring bad luck to him, so he secretly went to find Gao Degui.

At that time, Gao Degui meant to release the fish and let them go back and forth from where they came from. His attitude was very firm, almost an order.

Because he felt the danger of the fish from the notes left by his grandfather and could not touch it.

Gao Degui didn't expect that when he was talking to the crazy woman's husband, his brother eavesdropped outside the door, and even stopped him when the crazy woman's husband was leaving, and negotiated a deal privately.

Even his parents were involved.

Of those two fish, one was sold to Zhu Yun's family, and the other was shared between his brother and his parents. They were careful not to give him a bite.

It was too late when Gao Degui knew.

The two merchants whose name was fish were eaten died in the inn. Gao Degui's parents and brother realized something was wrong and wanted to hide in the basement for a while, but unfortunately they failed to do so, and they all turned into cats.

It rained at home that night, and Gao Degui's neck and shoulders were burned, and he didn't dare to unbutton his cloth jacket.

In order to protect themselves, the patriarchs of Zhu Yun's family invited experts to do it. They used the skin and bone of their closest relatives to make umbrellas, and they needed a full-moon baby.

The birth date of the child sold to the Zhu family by the lunatic's husband is just right.

The baby's eyeballs were gouged out alive and held on the second floor of Qi's Inn.

Chen Yang felt chills when he heard this, those two eyeballs were indeed used to suppress the resentment of the creatures.

So once you cover your eyeballs, it will rain.

When the lunatic covered her eyes, she must have felt ironic that it was her child who was guarding the town.

"It's not yet the first year this year, but the fish appeared." Gao Degui squeezed the stone tightly, his shoulders trembling, "I said a long time ago that I can't eat it, no one listens to me, retribution, it's all retribution, unfilial and unrighteous, God Lightning struck."

At noon, the sun was bright, but there was an invisible grayness in front of the door.

Chen Yang sorted out the clues related to the mission, and asked Gao Degui: "How did they think of eating the fish back then?"

Gao Degui said: "Just like this time, as soon as the fish appeared, there were rumors about eating fish to steal life." He mocked, "It's a ghost."

Chen Yang nodded. It is indeed a ghostly obsession. The curses of the creatures are aimed at the desires of the townspeople. It is too easy. Longevity is the center of desires.

"The widow Zhou of Qi's Inn died a long time ago, did you know that?" Chen Yang looked at Gao Degui and said.

Gao Degui obviously shrank his shoulders.

Not only Chen Yang, but others also noticed Gao Degui's reaction, no one pointed at him and cursed, "Then why did you let us live in?"

Everyone knows that this is a mission. Gao Degui is an NPC-like existence, and his position is that they dig holes.

Chen Yang said: "Those two merchants came to the town again in the second year after their death. They stayed in the inn all the time. You didn't take any measures?"

Gao Degui smiled bitterly: "They are obsessions left in the world, what can I do."

"Besides, they are just like human beings. No, they are simpler than human beings. They only come to stay for a few days each time. They don't go downstairs and don't cause trouble." Gao Degui's haggard face was full of despair, "Life is complicated, and I failed to persuade a Folks, it's all over."

Chen Yang's mouth was parched, he pointed to what other teammates could say, but in the end they were either expressionless, dull, or immersed in their own thoughts, and none of them planned to speak out.

"You found the paper by the river." Chen Yang observed Gao Degui's expression, "Did you see the crazy woman?"

The whites of Gao Degui's eyes were all red: "She is a miserable person."

"Then tell me, why did she bring the child's stone statue into the river?" Chen Yang stared at him.

Gao Degui shook his head: "I don't know..."

"There are too many undead in the river. It would be great if we could fill it up." He got up talking to himself, and staggered towards the house.

Chen Yang patted Chao Jian's arm pinching the milk film: "The mission background is complete, but the mission has not been completed yet, and the target is unknown."

In the next moment, he shouted at Gao Degui's back: "Master Zhu has eaten ten fish with young people's names, but he is not the one who took the most lifespan. Is there anyone in the town who eats more than him?"

Gao Degui didn't answer, he kept walking, quickly entered the room and closed the door.

"The npc is offline." Qian Han murmured.

Chen Yang's doubts were not resolved, he walked around the door anxiously, walking around towards Jane unknowingly.

Several people present witnessed this scene, with different expressions on their faces.

Chen Yang didn't notice it, he walked around Chao Jian several times, and stopped until he passed out, facing Chao Jian in a daze.

Chao Jian didn't speak from the beginning to the end, nor did she walk away.

A minute or two later, Chen Yang grabbed Chaojian firmly and said, "I know, young people don't necessarily live long."

Looking down at Jane, she glanced at the hand that was holding her, rolled her throat, and made a faint "hmm" syllable.

"That's right," Xiang Dong said, "Some young people die at a young age."

"Especially in our generation, the proportion of sudden death is the largest." Xiangdong Saosao didn't look at his court slips at all, and said pretendingly, "I didn't mention you, you are not from our generation, your brother and you have the same relationship." Generation gap."

Chen Yang: "..."

"No, don't listen to Xiang Dong's nonsense." He whispered to Chao Jian.

Chao Jian: "I know."

Chen Yang was stunned for a moment before returning to the main topic: "That is to say, it is not counted according to the number of fish, but only the life span captured. When Master Zhu was alive, someone stole more life span than him, so we didn't find the right target. .”

"But now there is no one in the town." Zhuzhu's eyes were blank.

Chen Yang fell silent, this is exactly where he felt that the mission had reached a dead end.

At this time, Ge Fei said a word: "Before Gao Degui appeared, I thought the target was him."

Zhuzhu said, "Me too."

"I'm ready to go home." She hugged her knees, trying to cry or not.

But the truth is, Gao Degui's eyes didn't mutate, and he didn't eat fish.

Furiously, Xiang Dong kicked on the tree: "This mission is really fucking weird."

The leaves fluttered down and landed on Chen Yang's head and shoulders. He didn't care, his mind was full of thoughts, if there is no task reminder, is it also a reminder?

Taking advantage of Chen Yang's daze, Chao Jian casually knocked off the leaves on his body: "Go back to the inn."

Chen Yang responded subconsciously.

The painter limped along behind, walked eastward beside him, and looked at his swollen ankle: "It's all like this, and you still have such energy, and the energy of returning to the light can't compare to yours."

"You don't understand." The painter moved away from Xiangdong, the smell of the other party was so bad that he felt like vomiting.

Xiang Dong said perfunctorily: "Why don't I understand, spring comes on a dead tree."

The painter's rigorous correction: "It's regeneration."

"According to you, Chen Yang and Chao Jian are your parents?" Xiang Dong joked.

"In a sense," said the painter.

Xiang Dong squinted: "Then who is your father and who is your mother?"

Painter: "..." Is it necessary to discuss this issue further?

Some distance behind, Miss Qiao and Xiang Zimu stood side by side. The two completely different women were about the same height, one was fiery and the other was cool.

"This task is very interesting." Miss Qiao spoke first, with a cedar-like scent in her breath.

Xiang Zimu didn't answer.

Miss Qiao flicked her fluffy curly hair: "I really like you."

Xiang Zimu was indifferent.

"It's really hurtful." Ms. Qiao wrapped her slender arms around her, and leaned towards her scabbed neck, "For the sake of my roommate, my sister advises you to do the task well and go down hard."

Xiang Zimu looked at one direction with his eyes lowered, and his lips parted slightly: "I also advise you, don't be too indulgent."

"I'm addicted, it's a disease. Sister, I cause trouble in the real world, and I always go to Shura field." Ms. Qiao seemed to be walking on the catwalk, with a graceful and lazy figure, "The mission world is very suitable for me. I always think that one day I will really untie my identity number, and I will be reluctant."

Xiang Zimu didn't respond any more, and his pace became faster, as if he was following something.

Behind, Qian Han threw away Zhuzhu and Ge Fei, and trotted towards the big team, his burned arm was supported by his other hand, his lips turned blue from the pain.

Zhu Zhu looked at the people around her: "Ge Fei, do you have a bad relationship with Qian Han?"

"Of course." Ge Fei shrugged, "I exposed him on the spot for his nonsense, can the relationship be good?"

Zhuzhu said: "Then he really pushed Brother Ang to protect himself?"

Ge Fei's face was wrapped in gauze, and he couldn't tell what his expression was, but his tone was calm and did not lose control: "Do you trust me or him?"

Zhuzhu pursed her lips and said apologetically, "I wasn't there at the time."

"Understood." Ge Fei said, "Actually, when I thought about it later, it was only natural for him to do that. When a person is in a crisis, his desire to survive will overwhelm his reason and emotion, and he will instinctively activate his self-defense."

Zhuzhu said: "So what, the damage is still done, no one will say, it's just your instinct, you can't do anything about it."

Ge Fei smiled.

At night, Chen Yang recorded all the information points in the room, trying to find out the neglected parts.

The light of the white candle cast a circle of light and shadow in front of the table.

Chen Yang wrote and scratched on the small notebook, and pressed down the pen with a "snap". He turned his head and moved his eyes to his partner on the bed.

Chao Jian didn't look at him: "Do you have an eye?"

"No." Chen Yang moved the chair and sat down, with his knees against the edge of the bed, "There is a ball of wool in my head, I can't shake it."

"At first, I thought that Gao Degui would show up when the fish tide came tomorrow, but now it's early." Chen Yang sighed, "This is what happened, it feels like it's the end."

"Tomorrow, let's see if any townspeople will go to the river." Chen Yang propped his elbows on his legs, and put his hands on his chin, "We have to prepare for the worst."

Chao Jian has no expression.

Chen Yang shook his leg on the side of the bed: "Brother, say something."

"I didn't say that?" Chao Jian moved her legs away, her back tensed slightly, "Don't touch me, it's annoying."

Chen Yang: "..."

"What did you say? You just asked if I was making progress."

Chao Jian put her legs back to the original place: "Isn't that still the talk?"

Chen Yang was speechless.

"Come to bed with your little notebook, and I'll take a look at the information you wrote down." Chao Jian looked at Chen Yang, who had grass on his head, and frowned again. He didn't know what he was struggling with. He suppressed his emotions and said ,"hurry up."

Chen Yang quickly grabbed the notebook and climbed onto the bed.

Chao Jian didn't reach out to take away Chen Yang's notebook, but just lowered her head and moved closer, scanning all the lines.

"Do you understand? Shall I explain it to you?" Chen Yang scratched his face.

"No need." Chao Jian said.

Chen Yang was a little surprised. He didn't know how it happened, and he didn't know when it started. When he memorized things, he always remembered them in a more abstract way. Chao Jian can understand what it is about.

"You didn't say that just for the sake of face, did you?" Chen Yang didn't believe it, "If that's the case, there's no need for it."

"Look." Chao Jian started from the first line and read out his information accurately.

Chen Yang thought in horror, genius.

"What are you thinking, I'm not a genius." Chao Jian grabbed a few milk tablets and threw them on the notebook.

"Okay, you're not, I am." Chen Yang coaxed and said in his heart, you are not a genius, how could you understand my ghostly symbols.

Chen Yang didn't chat with Chao Jian for a long time before he was disturbed by the movement outside.

Zhuzhu rushed out of Miss Qiao and Xiangzimu's room. She was crying and screaming in the courtyard in a state of nervousness. She pulled out all five ear clips on her left ear and threw them out. Being dragged out of red marks.

When Chen Yang opened the door and went out, he found that no one came out from the other rooms. He stared at the trembling little girl and asked her what was wrong.

Zhuzhu seemed to be suddenly pressed by something from behind, the weight was not light, her back bent down sharply, her legs dangled, and she was almost crushed to the ground.

Chen Yang's back was numb.

Zhuzhu maintained the posture of being pinned down, and screamed in horror: "Help me, Mr. Chen, save me...I'm being pinned down, help me..."

"You don't have anything on your back." Chen Yang held up his mobile phone to take a picture of Jane, but he was relieved that no ghosts were seen.

Zhuzhu was stunned: "No, no?"

Chen Yang nodded.

Under Chen Yang's gaze, Zhuzhu stood up without any hindrance. She tried to move her stiff shoulders, but there was nothing unusual.

Chen Yang looked at her suspiciously and was startled: "You have been scaring yourself these two days."

Zhuzhu cried: "I'm afraid."

Chen Yang turned his head to look at his partner on the bed, and made sure that the other party was paying attention to his movements, so he approached Zhuzhu with his mobile phone: "What are you afraid of?"

"I'm afraid..." Zhuzhu covered her face and sobbed, "I..."

Zhuzhu's voice suddenly changed, her words were difficult to speak, as if two hands were hugging her neck, and the strength gradually increased. She wanted to push the hands off her neck, and her upper body bent down again, showing a ninety-ninety posture with her lower body. Spend.

It was as if someone was playing with her by grabbing her back.

Zhuzhu's pupils trembled violently, fear was overwhelming her sanity, she slowly twisted her neck and looked back...she saw a person lying on her back.

The man looked up.

It's her!

She's lying on her own back!

Before Chen Yang figured out what was wrong, he saw Zhuzhu screaming and grabbing his shoulder like crazy.

Her body seemed to be rotten, and that grab directly grabbed a large piece of flesh.
