Chapter 3 Ghost Town
Su Ji is a person with strong action ability, he will do whatever he thinks of.
Seeing him get up, Shao Feng also stood up subconsciously.Although he didn't know what Su Ji was going to do, he instinctively felt that it was better to keep up.
Regarding Shao Feng's behavior, Su Ji did not stop him.After all, it is better to have company than to be alone in the current environment.
Naturally, the actions of the two cannot be hidden from other people in the church.Seeing their actions, the young couple not far away raised their heads one after another, and the trio who had been sleeping on the opposite side also looked at the two of them calmly.Even the middle-aged woman who had been lying down to rest early sat up straight.
Ignoring the probing eyes around him, Su Ji went straight to the confession room.
In the confessional, the priest seemed to be doing evening prayers.Seeing this, Su Ji and Shao Feng retreated to the side and waited quietly.
After a while, the other party put down his hands and looked at the two calmly: "I'm sorry to keep you waiting for a long time. May I help you?"
Recalling that the middle-aged woman asked the priest to no avail, Su Ji thought for a moment and asked, "May I ask what happened in this town?"
This is his most concerned and most important issue at present.If there is a cause, there must be an effect, and if there is an effect, there must be a cause. Only by understanding the reason why this town has become like this, can they find a way to break the situation.
Daniel didn't answer right away when he heard the words, he just said, "Are you from other places?"
"Correct."
"No wonder." Father Daniel nodded, and then sighed again, "This is actually an old thing, and it doesn't hurt to tell you."
"Actually, this town was not like this before. If the accident did not happen six years ago, this place should still be a peaceful and peaceful place..."
"The accident six years ago?"
Shao Feng was a little surprised, what kind of accident would have turned the whole town into this strange appearance.
Father Daniel closed his eyelids slightly, without speaking, and slowly talked about the past of this town——
"There used to be an orphanage in our town, which was run by a boss surnamed Wang. Boss Wang is a good man. It is because of him that the children have a place of their own."
"It's a pity that good people don't live long. Boss Wang passed away suddenly eight years ago. Because he left in a hurry and didn't leave a will. In addition, Boss Wang has no children, and his wife and brother are long gone. All the property fell to his only nephew."
"However, Boss Wang's nephew is an ignorant and uneducated rascal. Because of his uncle's inheritance, he spent it recklessly. It took only one year to spend all his property. He even owed a few dollars because of gambling. million."
"In order to pay off the debt, he thought about selling the factory that his uncle left him. However, because of his poor management, the factory had already suffered a serious financial crisis and was about to close down. No one wanted to take over this mess."
"However, that's not the only thing that bothers him."
Daniel paused, and then said: "When Boss Wang was alive, he allocated a sum of money to the orphanage every year for its operation. At that time, it had been a year since the last appropriation, and the orphanage had not received new funding for a long time. , so I found this little Mr. Wang."
"However, Mr. Wang owes a lot of debt himself, how can he care about the orphanage? What's more, he doesn't like children in the first place, and he doesn't agree with his uncle's contribution to charity."
Hearing this, Shao Feng frowned, "So he refused?"
Daniel nodded: "The director of the orphanage was kicked out, and I heard that he was still limping when he left."
Su Ji asked: "And then? What happened to the principal and those children?"
The priest shook his head and sighed, "Dead."
"died?"
Shao Feng was a little surprised.It shouldn't be starving to death, right?Recalling the sacrificial tables placed in front of every house along the way, and contacting the priest who said just now that the orphanage was short of money to operate, he couldn't help but come up with such unrealistic thoughts.
Su Ji asked: "How did you die?"
"I heard that the orphanage has been in disrepair for a long time, the circuit is aging, and a fire broke out. Including the dean and teachers, the entire orphanage has no survivors."
Looking at Father Daniel with a gloomy expression in front of him, Su Ji instinctively felt that things should not be that simple. "Where's the little boss?"
"do not know."
Daniel calmly pushed away the beautifully bound brand-new Bible on the table, turned his head away and said, "After the orphanage caught fire, he disappeared. Some people said that he ran away to avoid debts, and some said that he was beaten to death by creditors." No one ever saw him again anyway. Strange things have been going on in this town since then."
Su Ji narrowed his eyes, "Can I ask what is the specific strange thing?"
"In the beginning, people could always hear children playing at night. Some people speculated that this might be the group of children who were buried in the fire in the orphanage. In order to let the children rest in peace, the townspeople spontaneously burned paper for them offerings. However, things did not improve. Before long, people began to die in the town, one after another."
Speaking of this, Daniel paused, "Everyone thinks that the children who died in the orphanage were resentful and wanted revenge."
Shao Feng: "Revenge?"
"After all, these children are orphans without father and mother. Their backgrounds are miserable. In addition, they were burned to death alive. The resentment must not be small." The priest couldn't help but sighed: "They are all poor people. .”
Su Ji frowned, he always felt that there was something unreasonable about it.
As the saying goes, if the fire is man-made, the dead should take revenge on the real murderer.After the revenge is over, the heart knot will be opened, so the town will not become what it is now.But if it was an accident, it would be even more unreasonable.When someone kindly burns paper to you, how can you repay your kindness and revenge?
Before he could think about it, he heard another sentence in his ear: "What happened later? Where are the people in the town? Are they all dead?"
Hearing Shao Feng's question, Daniel paused for a moment, and his voice became lower: "I don't know."
"do not know?"
Without waiting for them to ask, the priest said slowly: "Some people moved out of the town early because they were worried about getting into trouble. I don't know what happened to them. As for the mayor and other townspeople who stayed, they suddenly Disappeared, and was never seen again."
"After that, the town became what you see now. At night, there will be many monsters here, but at dawn, the monsters will disappear. No one knows what the reason is."
After hearing what the priest said, Su Ji frowned unrecognizably, and Shao Feng asked: "So now you are the only one left in the whole town?"
Daniel nodded slightly.
Shao Feng: "Then how do you live alone?"
Su Ji secretly looked at the vicissitudes of the priest in front of him, trying to see something from his face.
The other party looked down, "I planted some fruits and vegetables in the backyard of this church, but I can barely make ends meet."
"This place has become like this, have you never thought about leaving?"
"Why didn't I think about it? It's not that I don't want to leave, but I have no way to leave." Daniel said with a long sigh, "The only way out of this town has been destroyed, and I can't get out at all."
Speaking of this, he slowly raised his head and looked at the two of them: "That's the way it is, do you have any other questions?"
Su Ji smiled slightly, knowing it in his heart, "No more. Thank you for your answer."
Seeing this, Shao Feng on the side also thanked him, and quickly followed him away.
After leaving the confession room, seeing the scene outside, Su Ji couldn't help raising his eyebrows.From the time they went in to the time they came out, they stayed inside for nearly an hour at least. They didn't expect that this group of people were still watching with their necks stretched out.
Shao Feng hesitated and was about to speak, but saw the person beside him raised a smile and said, "Do you also want to go to the priest to confess? If you want to go, you can go in now."
As soon as the words were finished, the trio glanced at him, and after crossing their eyes, they stood up and walked towards the confession room.The couple on the opposite side who looked like rookie players quickly followed after seeing them.However, before they approached the door of the confession room, they were glared at by the toughest-looking burly man in the trio.
"If you don't want to die, get out!"
The thin boy looked like he didn't have much fighting power, but he lost his courage after being warned by the other party, and immediately shrank in place.And his girlfriend hid behind him shivering.
After a loud bang of "Bang!", the door of the confession room was closed again, and the scene suddenly froze.
Su Ji pretended nothing happened and returned to his original seat to sit down.Shao Feng wanted to analyze and discuss with him the news he had just inquired from the priest, but when he saw the couple walking towards them, he immediately shut his mouth.
"Let's get to know each other." The skinny boy spoke first, "My name is Li Gang."
Although he didn't want to know them, Shao Feng was subconsciously stunned when he heard the name: "The Li Gang from 'My father is Li Gang'?"
I saw the corner of the boy's lips twitch, "It's not that gangster, it's the gangster of the heaven and earth."
"Oh." Knowing that the word was not what he thought, Shao Feng nodded slightly disappointed.
Li Gang pointed to the girl beside him and said, "This is my girlfriend Ning Meng."
Hearing that, Shao Feng's eyes lit up slightly, and before he could speak, the girl hurriedly said, "That lemon that isn't a fruit."
Su Ji didn't say anything, but watched the interaction of the three people in front of him with great interest.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the other party finally got to the point: "You stayed in the confession room for so long just now, what did you talk to that priest about?"
Hearing this, Su Ji raised his eyebrows.
The other party is trying to collect information directly from him.
Shao Feng is not stupid, so he can naturally see the love in this couple's heart.Seeing that he and Su Ji seemed to have heard the news from the priest, they also wanted to go to the confession room, but it was a pity that they couldn't get in because of the obstruction of the three old players, so they took a roundabout tactic and went to the two of them to ask the result directly.
This is really a soft pinch of persimmons.Didn't they do this because they thought the two of them looked better to talk to each other.
Just when Shao Feng was about to fool the two of them with a few casual words, he saw Su Ji beside him looking at them with a half-smile: "You want to know?"
The couple nodded expectantly: "Can you tell us?"
"sure."
Hearing that, the two were overjoyed, "Really?"
On the side, Shao Feng's eyes widened in surprise: Su Ji is really kind-hearted and planning to tell them, right?
Before he opened his mouth to dissuade him, he saw the person in front of him stretching out his right hand.Seeing this, Li Gang and the two were puzzled, "What do you mean?"
"Give me the money."
Su Ji twirled his fingers and smiled innocently, "Give me 500 yuan and I'll tell you."
Seeing him get up, Shao Feng also stood up subconsciously.Although he didn't know what Su Ji was going to do, he instinctively felt that it was better to keep up.
Regarding Shao Feng's behavior, Su Ji did not stop him.After all, it is better to have company than to be alone in the current environment.
