Chapter 158 The Water Ghost

After a night of soaking, when I went out in the morning, there were traces of wet water on the ground and walls.

The terrain of the village sloped slightly toward the lake, and the wet marks on the ground extended straight to the village, covering about five rows of buildings.In the morning, I went out to eat in the building at the back of the village, stepping on the wet mud on the ground all the way, and when the ground was dry, the mud on the soles of my shoes could be knocked down to a thickness of two fingers.

Jiang Li entered the first floor and saw the villagers who were already sitting in the dining room. The shoes of the villagers under the dining table were all clean, and there was no pair of shoes stained with mud within the visible range.

Jiang Li didn't know if the villagers knew about the rising water in the evening, but it was certain that the villagers lived in the second half of the village with high terrain, and did not live in areas affected by the water.

Jiang Li preferred that they knew about the rising water and the extent of the rising water, otherwise it would be impossible for a single villager not to be covered in mud.And when the players who entered the gate complained about the muddy roads and the rising water last night, the villagers seemed indifferent.

They knew that the gate of hell was open and the water was rising, but they deliberately arranged for the players to live in the front row buildings that bear the brunt. If you think about it carefully, this intention is full of malice.

Jiang Li always felt a little bit like a scapegoat for the villagers.

Said that the players are returning to the village, pretending that the players are from their own village, but the actual performance is not a little familiar, and the kindness to the villagers who have returned from abroad.The most definite feeling Jiang Li felt from them was indifference and alienation.Even when they knocked on the door yesterday to ask questions, the attitude of the villager who opened the door was a bit too deliberate and seemed to use too much force.

All of them were dressed in black and lifeless, as if paying homage to the dead.I also emphasized to them not to be afraid of death, which kind of means persuading them to die bravely, and this intention is clearly revealed.

When entering the building, the man in black who picked them up the night before was still standing at the stairs this time, watching the players go upstairs with a blank expression, staring at every passing player, for fear that they would sit in the wrong place and fall into the crowd of villagers like.

Jiang Li passed by him, and glanced at the uncle's waist calmly. The small brass bell with a little rust was hanging securely in the same position as yesterday, and the bell didn't ring at this time.

Looking at it during the day, if one hadn't heard its windless and automatic sound that night, anyone would think it was an ordinary decoration.

Jiang Li glanced at the bell quietly, and went upstairs to eat.

After dinner, Jiang Li still lay on the window and looked out. After the fright last night, another player tried to leave the village unbelievingly. After repeated trials and failures, Jiang Li watched them exhausted into dogs.

The father, daughter, three friends and his wife wrung out the wet quilt with great effort, and then hung the wet quilt on all the window sills in the house that could be hung.

Jiang Li watched them hang up, and invited everyone to take a nap together to catch up on sleep.After making up for the sleep that was lost last night, continue to catch up on sleep to recharge for the next night.

Based on the speculation in the morning, as a qualified scapegoat, Jiang Li had reason to feel that the villagers did not want them to leave the village.I didn't stop them during the day because I knew they couldn't get out.

But what if you can go out at night?

Will the villagers come to stop it?

If Jiang Li's conjecture is true, then this inference is very likely to happen.

After two days of observation, the number of villagers is no less than that of the players. If they struggle to stop them, they can really be stopped.

So just in case, not to take this risk, to prevent the villagers from being alarmed, Jiang Li didn't tell the rest of the players in advance.

At dinner time, fat and thin people were arranged to steal the bell on the waist of the uncle who led the way.

The person who stole the bell was recommended by the fat man and the thin man. At first, Jiang Li was worried that the two of them would not be able to steal the bell so smoothly.

The fat man sprained his foot deliberately on the stairs, and slammed his whole obese body into the uncle's arms, knocking the uncle half a meter away. The thin man saw the timing, and immediately rushed forward, hugged the uncle from behind, and tried his best to stop Uncle's decline, pretending to be a wolf with a big tail.So, the two of them clamped the uncle back and forth like this. In the anger of the uncle's face, the two apologized and helped the uncle who was almost knocked down in a fluster, and then happily lifted the bell. Give Shun Dangshun back.

During their interaction with the uncle, none of the villagers who were eating raised their heads.

A group of people returned to the small building. The fat man took out the bell stuffed in his sleeve and handed it to Jiang Li. Jiang Li took it and looked at it carefully for a while.

The bell would ring by itself the night before, and the sound was regular and long, very rhythmic.The sound is crisp and sweet, and it seems to be able to lift the mind.

Jiang Li touched it, showing no disgust or resistance.

At this time, a cork was inserted into the bell, so the reason why the bell did not ring should be due to the cork.

There are many strange patterns engraved on the top of the bell, resembling the shape of a mouth, and it is covered with patina, which is not very handsome.

It's just such an evil bell, since the guide uncle dared to take it with him when the ghost gate opened at night, it would be of some use.

So go out tonight, let's take it to see, if it is to ward off evil spirits, maybe it can also drive away ghosts.That's why the uncle dared to pick them up alone at night, with no fear.Rely on this bell.

There shouldn't be any harm in carrying it anyway.

Time passed quickly, and it was already eight o'clock in the evening.

The night here is slightly late at night, and the sunset glow disappears at eight o'clock on time, and the moon comes out.

Jiang Li asked everyone to notify the rest of the players 10 minutes in advance.Those who are willing to try it together will follow, and those who are not willing will not force it.

There are indeed those who are unwilling to come out and take a wait-and-see attitude, and some who are afraid of rising water at night and dare not come out. There are many people who let the protagonist and the others go to the mine first.Therefore, only a small number of people came out.

Jiang Li didn't force it, and looked at the three extra people, with the five-member group of father and girlfriend who followed her thighs, plus her own team, a group of 13 people turned around and set off.

From the window on the second floor of the building in the distance, Hu Tian looked coldly at Jiang Li and his party who were going away, with a contemptuous arc on the corner of his mouth.

Qingjiao was a little apprehensive, and said in a weak voice: "Husband, are we really not going with them? What if they successfully go out?"

"Go out?" Hu Tian snorted, "You think too much of them. If it was so easy to get out, wouldn't everyone follow?"

"But what if? I think their team is pretty good."

"Tch, if they go out, it's their shit luck, and it just proves to us that this road is feasible." Hu Tian said to himself: "Besides, it's not like you didn't see how dangerous it was last night, so the fool followed Go, it would be great if they would try it for us, let them go, and if it works, let's go again."

The same question was also asked by the new players.

Jiang Li's answer was: "Of course it's not that easy, but there are contingencies in everything. If you go out, and if you don't hurry up, who knows if the water will rise faster in the next night, maybe it won't take much. It’s too late, maybe there’s no time to act.”

After Jiang Li finished speaking, the faces of the new players turned green.A little regretful and impulsive to come out with Jiang Li.

Jiang Li added: "Even if you can't get out this time, as long as there is progress in the plot, the participating players will get extra points at the end."

When Jiang Li said this, the new players felt that what Jiang Li said was very reasonable, and immediately did not regret it.

Jiang Li was familiar with the three new players, they were the three who tried so hard and single-mindedly during the day to get out of the village.

Jiang Li had thought about whether the water would only rise for one night, but it was obviously impossible now.

At this time, they were walking along the road by the lake, and by the moonlight, the lake water had begun to spread to the shore.They had only walked a few steps, and the lake was already a punch away.

And the road by the lake was muddy and difficult to walk because it passed through the water last night, and the soles of the feet slipped from time to time, so the speed inevitably slowed down.

The three newcomers were a little impatient, showing their persistence during the day and hurriedly urging everyone: "Let's hurry up and take big steps. Otherwise, when the water rises, we're all done."

What the new player said was not unreasonable. After all, the lakeside was low, and the water must have risen first.

But Jiang Li remembered that the gathered black shadows began to move forward on a large scale last night, that is to say, they were able to go ashore at about one o'clock in the morning.It's eight o'clock, which is not too late.But just to be on the safe side, Jiang Li didn't raise any objections for fear of accidents.

But on the premise that the road was wide, Jiang Li asked everyone to walk close to the mountain wall and away from the lake.

Jiang Li also took a look at the line of wet water on the mountain wall last night. It was not completely dry during the day, and it could be seen that it reached about the position of a person's thigh.That is to say, at four o'clock in the morning, the water here will rise to the height of the thigh.

The depth of the water looked a little scary, Jiang Li heard the twins gasp, thought about it, and reassured everyone. "If we can't go out by then, and if we don't have time to go back, then we can climb to the slope of the mountain wall."

After Jiang Li finished speaking, she felt that this idea was not bad.The atmosphere in the team also relaxed because of his words.

But Huashu, who was walking aside, glanced at Jiang Li, and then again.

Jiang Li noticed it and asked him what's wrong?Huashu hooked her lips and smiled slightly: "How do you know that those things won't come out of the water and climb up the mountain wall?"

Uh, yes.

The relaxed atmosphere in the team suddenly became tense again.

Jiang Li started to get down to business and inquired about the situation.

He moved to the three new players and asked the one who spoke a lot, "Seeing that you have tried to go out this way many times during the day, where is the furthest you have gone? Can you get to where the bus was last night?"

The player who was asked frowned and shook his head, very worried: "I can't get there, I don't even see the shadow of the road and the car, but the mountain walls and lakes are full of eyes, and the mountain walls and lakes are the same as walking at night to see the moon , They follow you wherever you go, which is of no reference value at all. And after walking, you will find that the surroundings are the same scenery. We walked straight on the road without turning, but when we walked, we found that the village appeared in front of us. .”

"Then when I saw a village that shouldn't have appeared, I realized that the original right-hand lake had changed to the left-hand lake. When it was switched, I couldn't even notice it. It just changed when I noticed it."

Another added: "I can adjust the direction, I can't tell the left and right, the south, the east, the north, but I'm dizzy. I almost threw up when I walked."

Jiang Li looked at the thick fog that was gradually rising in front of her eyes: "Did you encounter fog when you walked during the day?"

"No." The three said in unison.
