Mirror [Unlimited]

Zhou Rui subconsciously turned his head to look at the people around him.

The others more or less avoided his sight, or pretended to chat with the person next to them without responding.

They were divided well in twos. Gao Ming died, no matter where Zhou Rui went, another person must come out to replace him.

Although it is not explicitly stated that living alone will lead to death, everyone now assumes that it is not safe.

Who would sacrifice himself so selflessly?

The nature of all creatures is selfish, and humans are no exception. It was just a matter of a few words to accuse Yin Baihe, but helping is a matter of life.

"Brother Donghai!"

Zhou Rui looked at Lu Donghai asking for help.

"This..." Lu Donghai sighed, "No."

He and Yu Ming are companions from the previous world, they just want to leave the mirror alive, and the Holy Mother will not help Zhou Rui at this time.

Zhou Rui scratched his hair, his emotions had been tense because of Gao Ming's matter, but now he became even more manic.

"If I die, you will die too! None of you can escape!"

Everyone looked at him with uneasy expressions.

"You have come to this ghost place, you don't think you can survive!" Zhou Rui became more and more crazy, and pointed at the crowd: "I'm dead, the next one might be you! It's you! It's you!"

"Calm down." Lu Donghai frowned.

"Calm down!" Zhou Rui cursed, "I'm going to die anyway!"

He has the intention of smashing the can and smashing it.

"It's not necessarily going to die." Seeing the low atmosphere, Xi Le said, "Maybe if we find a clue today, we can live on."

Yu Ming nodded, "It's possible."

Although the consolation is perfunctory, talking to Zhou Rui is better than nothing, if you grasp a little hope in despair, you will be able to persevere.

He kept repeating: "I'm not going to die...it won't be me..."

Yin Baihe looked forward, "It's better to look for relevant clues if you are entangled in the night's affairs here, otherwise you will be a headless fly wandering around, a toy in other people's hands."

After what happened just now, no one dared to offend him now.

What if one more sentence drives someone crazy.

"It's only morning, and there's still a lot of time." Lu Donghai pondered for a moment, "Based on my previous experience, it's impossible to be flawless."

"In this way, we will directly check in groups in and outside the village, and come back at noon to gather and exchange clues."

It is impossible to completely cover up a village's problems.

Immediately someone raised his hand: "I'll go outside the village."

"There are still villagers in the village, so they should be able to ask a little bit. It is impossible for everyone to keep their mouths shut."

"I think there may be more clues in the village."

"..."

A few minutes later, everyone chose to go out or stay in the village according to their own volition. They were divided into groups of five, and the meeting place was set at the entrance of the village.

As for the collapsed Zhou Rui, he can go wherever he wants.

Yu Ming, Xu Xiaoyuan, Ding Yifan, and two other people who stayed in the village wanted to go to some villagers' homes to inquire first, and they would be able to pry out some answers.

At the door of the first house they went to sat a woman shucking corn.

Seeing them coming over, their attitude was very cold, and they might only answer one question after asking three questions, and they were all irrelevant words.

"Sister, why are there so few men in this village?"

"..."

"Did you light the lantern at the door last night?"

"..."

"Why are there so many sticks where we live?"

When asked here, the other party's expression finally changed.

Xu Xiaoyuan, Yu Ming and the others looked at each other, feeling that there was something wrong, and immediately asked: "Sister, do you have wooden sticks at home?"

"No!" The woman immediately became vigilant and threw the corn into the pot, "We don't have anything at home!"

Yu Ming looked at the yellow couplet on the door, "Did someone in your family die last year?"

The woman glared at him, turned back and closed the door.

The faces of the few people who were rejected by the door were not very good-looking.

"Why don't you say anything?" Someone scolded: "I think it might be that they have a guilty conscience, or maybe it's just people doing it!"

Having said that, Gao Ming's death is impossible to do at first glance.

The disappointed people had to go to the second house instead. This time they were lucky, there was only one child playing with mud at the door of this house.

Xu Xiaoyuan stepped forward with a smile, and the children were not afraid when they saw them.

"Little brother, do you have wooden sticks and bamboo strips at home?"

"No."

"Is your father home?"

"...I don't have a father."

Until now, no one has seen how many men are in the village. This is very abnormal. Generally, backward rural areas are patriarchal, and there are very few women. Some villages even buy and sell people.

This village is the complete opposite, mostly women and no men.

"Could it be that all the men in this village are dead?" Ding Yifan panicked, "Gao Ming who died last night was also a man."

"According to this, aren't women safe?" Xu Xiaoyuan asked.

"It can't be that simple." Yu Ming shook his head.

And now there is still a question, are their lanterns really made by the villagers, are they used for simple lighting, or are they for other purposes?

The other team outside the village did not go well.

This village is not big, and what you can see from the bridge is the fields. If you go to the back of the village, you will soon enter the woods.

"Nothing at all?"

"Isn't the outside here the same as the outside of an ordinary village? In my opinion, I guess we should look for it in the village."

Xi Le thought for a while, "In a backward and feudal village like this, the cemetery is nearby, maybe you can go there and have a look."

After he finished speaking, everyone else looked over.

Xi Le was suspicious, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just think you're quite brave." Lu Donghai smiled, "You're right, we need to find out who this ghost is."

"In the horror movies I watched before, ghosts usually come back to take revenge like this kind of plot, so maybe I can find out."

"Have you noticed?" Xi Le turned his head.

"You guessed right, it should still be used for burials here." Yin Baihe said.

But after walking around in the woods, I didn't find the cemetery. According to the backwardness of these villages, it should be nearby.

Returning in vain made everyone look depressed.

Could it really be cremation?

Cremation is not without a tomb, right?

"Maybe it's hidden by them." Xi Le was thoughtful, "I don't want others to see it, it's like asking and not saying anything."

"If it's impossible to threaten them, I don't believe they're not telling the truth!" Someone couldn't help but shouted.

"Three days later, we will sacrifice to the mountain god." Yin Baihe suddenly said.

There is a mountain behind the village, and it is standing there quietly at the moment, watching everyone under the mountain quietly.

"Could the mountain god be that ghost?"

"Will they take us as sacrifices?"

"Hey, I think this mountain god is definitely not a good thing!"

"I think this ghostly place has done something outrageous, which is why so many people died in the village. We are here to send our mother to death! It's really bad luck for eight lifetimes!"

Xi Le suddenly turned her head, "What did you just say?"

The other party was confused, "What do you say, say we are unlucky!"

Xi Le shook his head, "Last sentence."

Wang Lin was confused by what he said, he is just a construction site mover, he never thinks, "What are you talking about—"

Yin Baihe spoke for him: "He said that we are going to die."

Xi Le's eyes lit up, "I seem to have some ideas - only the lanterns of us outsiders were lit in the village last night, they did it on purpose..."

"Can you make it simpler?" Li Yanru asked anxiously.

"Maybe we are dying for the people in the village." Xi Le recalled, "The village chief was very surprised when he saw us on the first night."

Thinking about it now, of course surprise, someone died instead of them.

But the conditions of this death are worth thinking about. The only victim so far is Gao Ming, and it can be preliminarily determined that he touched a wooden stick.

Yin Baihe said: "Gao Ming was beaten to death."

Xi Le understood what he meant, "I remember Zhou Rui said that he suspected there was blood on the wooden stick last night, so maybe the last victim died like this."

So what did the people in the village do with sticks before to cause this?

Is it so serious that those people were beaten to death?

"This... should be a ghost, a ghost who came back to seek revenge?" Li Yanru guessed tremblingly.

Lu Donghai also felt that this idea made sense, "The key point should still be in the village, and it's almost noon now, just to see how Yu Ming and the others are doing."

"Damn it, there are no good people here!" Wang Lin cursed and wanted to go back, "I'm going back now to make them look good!"

He didn't want to be beaten to death.

Thinking of Gao Ming's pitiful skull, Wang Lin shuddered and folded his arms, feeling that it was extremely cold in the woods.

Everyone walked back together.

Obviously the sun was in the sky at this time, but everyone felt that it was cold to the bone, and there was no warmth at all.

Zhou Rui was still on the bridge at the entrance of the village.

When they were divided into two teams, he refused to do anything and stayed where he was. At first, Xi Le persuaded him to join them, because it was not good to place orders after all.

Zhou Rui didn't accept his kindness at all.

He sat on the bridge, looked at the village for a while, and looked out of the village for a while, and he could remember the scene of Gao Ming being killed last night when he closed his eyes.

Before Gao Ming was taken out, he held onto the door tightly...the pleading eyes...and the incessant screams.

This morning, he saw chipped nails by the door.

"Don't blame me... Brother Gao, don't blame me... I can't save you..." Zhou Rui shivered, but couldn't help thinking wildly.

If he is guilty, he can arrest himself, why throw him into this ghost place and treat him like this.

He secretly made up his mind that if he really got to that point, he would commit suicide, he didn't want to be like Gao Ming.

Thinking of this, Zhou Rui became even more irritable.

Now he wished so much that he would return to the dormitory as soon as he opened his eyes, even if he went to take the fourth-level naked test right away!

If I go back alive, I don't know if I can catch up with the fourth grade.

Now even the exams that I hated before have become a delusion, Zhou Rui thought, and Yu Ming came out to see him once in the middle of the trip because he was afraid that something would happen to him.

"You might as well stay here with us." Yu Ming asked, "It's easier to collapse if you think too much. Don't think that you can go out if you leave the village."

"No," Zhou Rui said with a downcast expression, "I'm thinking about what questions to ask in the fourth grade this year."

Yu Ming: "?"

Good guy, it seems that he is too worried.

After he left, Zhou Rui sat alone on the bridge and looked left and right. When he touched something out of the corner of his eye, he froze.

Gao Ming's body is gone!

It was clearly still where it was 1 minute ago!

Zhou Rui jumped up in fright, and was about to run when he heard Lu Donghai and the others talking behind him, and turned his head immediately.

"Brother Gao's body—"

However, after seeing the whole team clearly, his words stopped abruptly, his face froze with surprise, and he took a few steps back.

"No...no..."

Lu Donghai looked at Zhou Rui with a pale face, and thought that he would collapse again. Why do college students have such a bad attitude now, "What's wrong?"

Zhou Rui didn't speak.

Wang Lin rolled his eyes, "What expression do you have, you seem to have seen a ghost."

"The number of you..."

Zhou Rui's voice was trembling, and his whole body was cold.

"Why is there one more!"
