Ghosts and gods do not enter the door

He was led by that person to a store and bought a map. In order not to take up the space of the backpack, he decided to hold it in his hand so that it would be convenient for him to look at the map at any time.

After that person left with peace of mind, he left Ding Mu to walk around with a map alone.

Holding the map, he found that he couldn't understand the map very well—mainly because he didn't know enough about the terrain here, and he wasn't familiar enough to find his location based on the map.

So even if he had a map, it wouldn't help.

he's lost.

Ding Mu held the map in his hand and looked at a stone tablet in front of him, not knowing where he was now.

The stone tablet was very tall, and some words were densely engraved on it. Because of the high density of fog around it, he had to get very close to see the words clearly.

But this does not mean that he can understand the meaning of these words.

"One, two, one, two..." What does this mean?

He muttered the above words, feeling that he didn't quite understand the meaning of them.

This is a way of timekeeping that he doesn't quite understand. Each symbol representing a different time is followed by a number. Some numbers are followed by a small "x", and some numbers are followed by a small "" y", just don't know what that means.

He looked at the numbers above and found out the rules. When he only looked at the numbers, he could tell that it was a series of numbers. When combined with the letters behind, the rules were summarized as follows: the number on the first day is "one", Followed by an "x", the number of the second day is "two", followed by the two letters "xy", the number of the third day is "one", followed by a "y", the number of the fourth day It is "two", followed by the letter "xy", and "one" and "x" on the fifth day... four days in a cycle, in turn, until something goes wrong in a certain row or column.

That was the last count, the number was "two" and the letter was "xx".

In the previous count of this count, the number was also "two", and the letter was "xy". Every count before this was within the law.

Only the last count isn't, it's an outlier, just don't know if it's a systematic error.

After thinking about it, he took out his notebook and recorded the suspicious points found on it. He couldn't stay outside for too long, so he just briefly wrote down his findings, the pattern of the numbers on the stele, and the last outlier.

He memorized the investigation records here, put the notebook back in the bag, and took out the map to look at it.

This time he was very relaxed.

Because this time he is at the edge of the town, where there is a sign called "Stone Tablet" and a small square as a representative of the stone tablet.

Ding Mu looked at the map, recalling the road he had just walked, and followed Guan Yi into the mountains. After a long time, he gradually gained some experience, and he would not be as reckless and reckless as he was at the beginning.If it wasn't for the last site that gave him some courage to face the danger alone, he would never dare to act here by himself. He has grown a lot in the past six months.

He memorized most of the routes, compared them with the roads on the map one by one, and finally restored his own course of action on the map, and identified the way home.

After recognizing the map, the next road will be much easier. Even without the help of a flashlight, he successfully found the laundry room where A's mother worked before her death.

The gate here is closed, and there is no trace of life. It seems that all life has been taken away by the thick gray fog, leaving nothing here.

The lock hanging outside is open, and the sound of "clicking and clicking" can be heard inside, and there should be human activities.

After confirming this, he knocked on the door and asked, "Hi, is anyone there?"

The sound inside stopped suddenly, as if everyone tensed up and held their breath to listen to the movement outside the door.

There are people.

He knocked on the door again and shouted again louder than last time: "Hello, is anyone there?"

Still no one responded, he waited, and just when he wanted to shout again, the door opened, revealing a serious face of a little old man. When he saw Ding Mu, he was taken aback for a moment, frowned, and looked Ding up and down. Mu asked, "Who are you?"

Ding Mu wanted to bring out the story he had just lied to the person who bumped into him, but suddenly realized that he didn't know the name of A's mother, so he could only say: "I am A's distant cousin."

The little old man obviously didn't believe it. His two eyeballs swept up and down, left and right, shook his head, and said, "Please go back, I don't know anything... A."

"Hey, old man, please wait a moment. I'm really A's cousin. His mother passed away. I came here to visit him. I can't find him. Do you know where he is?" Ding Mu said.

As the task issuer and the directly related person, he did not show up in the room, but left him a piece of paper and a messy line on a whiteboard in written form, indicating that he knew when he was doing these things. When Ding Mu came, he might not be there.

He was wandering around the town just now, but he didn't meet A. When he came here, the people here also claimed not to know A. This shows that A may have encountered some danger that he can't tell directly. The danger is too dangerous for outsiders to know about. Give way.

The old man still shook his head and said: "You go, you go, don't stay here, go before dark."

Leave before dark?

What does it mean?

Ding Mu didn't understand very well. After repeated questioning, the old man finally let go and said, "If you want to stay, find a job quickly, otherwise you should leave quickly, and you must leave before dark."

Ding Mu knew this truth: you can't stay in the site without identity, otherwise it will easily attract Hei Heze.

Black and Ze will devour people without status.

But he already has an identity, he is a detective recruited by A.

The old man's eyes told him that this matter might be more than the things he thought of.

Not Kurowazawa?

Wait, although to A, he is a private detective hired by A, but to the people in the town, he is just a "vagrant" who "comes to visit relatives".

Still dangerous.
