I'm running a safe house in unlimited streaming

The night is long.

When the first ray of sunlight in the morning came into the house through the window, Jia Qing felt a little out of breath in his sleep, and opened his eyes in a daze.

In the field of vision, a strange man with an unshaven beard, a pale face and no blood on his face stood coldly in the center of the room. He didn't know when he broke in.

Jia Qing screamed "grass", waking up the rest of the people instantly.

They bounced off the ground, and Song Yang in another corner said, "It's nothing, it's a ghost."

He and Xia Jing woke up the first time the man entered the house.

Under everyone's vigilant gaze, the strange man regarded them as nothing, walked staggeringly, walked through the living room, passed through the wooden door, and entered the inner room.

The suffocation gradually faded away, and there was a "squeak" sound of the wooden bed being pressed in the back room, followed by the sound of snoring.

The ghost started to sleep.

Everyone in the living room breathed a sigh of relief.

They looked at each other.

Song Yang untied the bandages on his body—after one night, his injuries were almost healed.

Putting on a spare jacket in the space bag, he said: "Come on, let's go to the next room to have a look."

I don't know if it was because I was too frightened yesterday that my brain went into a shutdown.

Fu Lan and Huang Yulian in the next room were not awakened when the ghosts returned, and they slept soundly until Song Yang and the others arrived, only to be abruptly awakened.

Xia Jing and Song Yang went straight to Liu Mingyang's body and squatted down.

His headless corpse remained the same as it was when it was cut open last night. Most of the internal organs of the upper body were taken out, and only the intestines were still lying inside. The picture was very bloody and terrifying.

Gao Sheng and the newcomer Zheng Shu couldn't see the scene, and stopped at the door far away, for fear that they couldn't hold it back.

Xia Jing said softly: "Yesterday, the bone on the side of the road gave birth to the bat near the pelvis, and Liu Mingyang's left chest cavity. It seems that the place where the bat was born was random."

If the location is not good, it is very likely that the ghosts will not need to do anything, the parasite itself will be pierced by the bats to puncture the internal organs, crush the bones, and die from internal bleeding.

Song Yang nodded his head when he heard Xia Jing's words, and said, "If Liu Mingyang had waited a little longer yesterday, his heart might have been scrapped."

On the other end, Feng Shi and Bian Ya were asking Huang Yu and Fu Lan whether any special circumstances happened to the three of them yesterday when they searched for clues.

Fu Lan recalled with a pale face, shook her head and said: "Yesterday, the three of us have been acting together. I don't remember any special circumstances. Liu Mingyang has always been quite normal. When the ghost came to the door, he himself Don't understand why."

Huang Yu also shook his head again and again.

He was so frightened yesterday that he stuttered a bit until now: "I, I don't remember, Brother Liu has been with me all the time, I, I didn't notice anything!"

Feng Shi and Bian Ya frowned.

Jia Qing plucked up the courage to go to Xia Jing and Song Yang, and asked, "Brother Yang, Brother Jing, what did you find?"

After Song Yang and Xia Jing finished chatting, they began to shave the meat attached to Liu Mingyang's spine and back ribs with a knife.

Jia Qing was so frightened that he leaned back.

When Song Yang and Xia Jing observed the corpse, the first thing they observed was the front ribs scattered on the side.

They vaguely remembered that there were some mottled black marks on the pelvis of the skeleton on the side of the road yesterday, and they wanted to see if Liu Mingyang had the same thing on him.

If you don't find the black marks on the front ribs, then look for the back ribs and spine.

Anyway—

"It should be roughly the same as the place where bats were bred." Xia Jing said.

Song Yang's technique was crisp and neat, and he quickly shaved off a few bones.

Immediately afterwards, the two gazed together, and they found what they expected.

However, the black imprint attached to one of Liu Mingyang's back ribs turned out to be——

Xia Jing raised his eyebrows and read slowly: "...'Not planning'?"

The duo's discovery caught the attention of others.

Everyone gathered and took a closer look——

The black mark attached to Liu Mingyang's back ribs is the three regular black Chinese characters of "not intending".

This discovery is really puzzling.

"'Not planning'?" Feng Shi frowned, "What does that mean?"

Of course, they wouldn't think that this was something that existed in Liu Mingyang's bones.

It must be that he was born in the body together with the birth of the bat after he was selected by the devil.

But why is it words, and why is it the three words "not intended"?

Song Yang thought for a while, then turned around and asked Huang Yu and Fu Lan: "You still don't have a clue?"

Fu Lan still shook her head blankly.

As for Huang Yu, he stared at these three words.

It wasn't until he noticed Song Yang's eyes on him that he came back to his senses and shook his head immediately.

Song Yang examined him for a few seconds, then turned around.

Huang Yu, who was standing behind him, swallowed silently, his eyes gradually showing surprise and uncertainty.

A group of people made a discovery, but this discovery is a new mystery. To solve one mystery after another, they can only continue to search for clues.

It was about eight o'clock in the morning.

Song Yang said: "Still according to yesterday's grouping, let's split up and act."

……

Today, everyone's actions are even faster than yesterday.

What happened to Liu Mingyang and Song Yang last night terrified everyone. They wished they could solve all the mysteries of this dungeon before tonight and leave this ghostly place.

However, how could a four-star dungeon be passed so easily?

At noon, they checked to the middle of the main road.

There is a stone building there, about two stories high, very different in style from other folk houses, and much grander, very much like the central building of a small town, perhaps the "administrative center" of the town.

Nine people gathered together and entered this small stone building together.

Once inside, they choked on the dust inside, as usual.

The light in this building was very dark, so Song Yang took out a flashlight.

Feng Shi took Bian Ya, Gao Sheng and Zheng Shu up to the second floor, and within about 5 minutes, they came down and said: "There are only four desks upstairs, nothing, not even a piece of paper. See, I feel like they haven't used this place upstairs at all, it's just a decoration."

Zheng Shu complained: "I feel that the people in this small town, how can I say, are so lazy? We have checked a lot of houses, and the people in several houses are sleeping, or they are eating or arguing. Places like government buildings don’t even have any traces of life.”

Xia Jing and Song Yang observed the empty building while listening to them.

Could it be that there are no clues in such a special building?

Xia Jing suddenly noticed something, turned his footsteps, and walked towards an exceptionally dark corner.

There is a place that looks like a corner, with a low sense of presence and easily overlooked.

Song Yang followed, and the others followed closely behind.

Xia Jing walked to that corner, turned around, and faced to the left.

Everyone looked over.

Fu Lan was surprised and said: "Authentic?"

What was displayed in front of them was a half-closed wooden door, and behind the wooden door was a faintly visible staircase leading to the bottom.

Song Yang took the flashlight and walked in front: "Go down and have a look."

The nine people formed a pair of two, and walked down cautiously after sealing the seal.

This is a stone staircase.

Secret passages, mysterious underground spaces.

Of course, there can't be windows in this kind of place, and there are no candles at this time, and it is completely dark.

They had to take out a few more flashlights to supplement the light in their field of vision.

As it slowly descended, the air gradually stagnated.

This is not the suffocation caused by the ghost's resentment, but the shortness of breath caused by the long-term lack of air circulation.

Gradually, what emerged in the nostrils turned into a musty smell, a foul smell...

There were even black and red handprints on the stone wall, which looked like...

Huang Yu trembled: "This place can't be—"

A bad premonition rose in everyone's heart.

When they stepped down the last level of the stone steps, this small and small confined space was completely displayed in front of them.

Several people gasped.

The walls were splattered with old blood.

Five wooden shelves almost completely soaked in black and red blood.

Whips, neck catchers, quicksilver.

Rusty saws, chains, iron handles, iron cages.

There are more torture instruments that they can't recognize at all, but just looking at them makes people's scalp tingle, creepy.

Two or three skeletons were lying on the ground or leaning against the wall.

"This, this is—" Jia Qing's face was livid, "This is a torture chamber, right?!"

——This place may be the place where the residents of this small town were tortured during their lifetime.

The smell of blood was overwhelming, chilling people to the bone.

A group of people stopped in place for a long time.

When they gradually recovered from the shock and fear, Song Yang and Xia Jing took the lead, looked around and walked in.

Gao Sheng and Zheng Shu really didn't dare to go in, their legs were a little weak again.

Zheng Shu leaned on the wall and saw two strange looking wooden chairs—there were two round holes on the "chair back", and the "chair feet" were a bit high. Zheng Shu, a 1.7-meter-eight young man, probably could have both legs when he sat on it. off the ground - but he can't stand now, so he walked over tremblingly, wanting to sit down.

At this moment, Bian Ya reminded from the side: "This is a torture tool called a 'throne', and the two round holes on the 'back' are used to fix the victim's feet, so that the victim can be tortured." He is forced to stand on his head, and then the executioner can pour water into his mouth to suffocate him, or he can be whipped like that."

Zheng Shu fell to the ground directly, and he wanted to cry without tears: "Damn, I really thought this was a strange looking wooden stool!"

He wanted to stand up, and casually touched the ground with his hand, looking for a support, but finally touched a rusty iron utensil of exquisite workmanship lying on the ground.

It looks a bit like a pump to inflate a balloon, but the part of the "pump" is a bit like an elongated oval pear, with a sharp corner at the top.

Zheng Shu just touched it subconsciously, and Bian Ya said lightly again: "This thing is called Huali, and the sharp corners are used to stuff the victim's mouth or..."

His eyes wandered to Zheng Shu's buttocks.

"After stuffing it in," the man said with a smile, "turn the handle and open the 'petals'. The victim's teeth, bones...anus will all be shattered and torn."

Zheng Shu was about to pee, he said tremblingly: "Brother Bian, why are you so knowledgeable, I'm so scared."

Feng Shi passed by the two of them, a little helpless, he whispered to Bian Ya: "...Don't scare the newcomers."

Bian Ya shrugged: "Just within the scope of knowledge, I said it without thinking much."

On the other end, Xia Jing and Song Yang came to a wooden table that looked like a desk.

There was a lot of parchment scattered on the table.

The two picked up a few sheets casually, shook off the dust, and looked carefully.

Song Yang said: "This is the interrogation record."

The handwriting on the paper was very messy, recording every interrogation that took place in this torture room according to the date.

Xia Jing opened the small wooden cabinet under the table again, took out a thick thread-bound book from inside, and opened it for a look.

"This is the event record of the town." Xia Jing said.

Nine people gathered at this desk again and began to divide the work to check these two items.

The town's event records start from xxxx xxxx.

Since this day is too different from their real world date, they don't know how long ago it was in the dungeon.

Jia Qing flipped through a few pages and found key information in the town event record book.

Pointing to a line of writing, he said: "Look, this is the first case of demon possession recorded in this booklet!"

Everyone hurried over.

The tone of the account of the event recorder is very casual, almost like a diary.

He wrote: "The devil has come to our small town of Grammes, but this is not the first time this has happened. In fact, the devil has quietly come to us in the past few years whenever fires and plagues have come. , we can always find evil possessed by demons! Only this time, we didn't expect that the possessed by demons would be Mayor Yisi!"

"This event record book was compiled a month ago. The mayor of Iss felt that it was necessary for us to leave a historical record for the town of Grammes. We also have to admit that the mayor came to the town of Grammes After the town, it has indeed done a lot of good things.”

"But he never saved us when the demons descended in the past. The incompetent mayor of Iss—I didn't expect that this time, he became a demon himself. Fortunately, he died in the early morning of this morning, in the off the road."

"It should be the devil who killed him. The devil got tired of this body, so he broke out and escaped. When we saw the body of Mayor Iss, his abdomen was already open, and there was a charred black section in his stomach." , the small baby-like arm, that must be the trace left by the devil, the evil thing conceived by the devil in his body."

"It's no wonder that the past month, Mayor Is's temperament has always been cloudy. We only thought he was too angry after being pranked by Brother Lal, but thinking about it now, he must have been possessed by a demon at that time. "

After reading this passage, Xia Jing narrowed his eyes.

He took the event record book from Jia Qing and flipped through it.

Just a month before "Mayor Iss" was found dead on the street, the "Brother Lal" prank was recorded in the register of events.

The brothers got drunk in the middle of the night and pushed Mayor Yisi, who was walking by the side of the road at night, into the river outside the town.

Fortunately, the mayor was not drowned, but the Lal brothers insisted that they were drunk and could not remember anything. Even if they did it, they did it unintentionally, which made the mayor's daughter Elizabeth very angry.

Song Yang stood behind Xia Jing and looked, thinking: "Brother Lal should be the twin ghosts from yesterday. Mayor Yisi is..."

"It's the man in the devil's portrait." Xia Jing said.

The people who were excluded by the whole town, the people who were directly painted as demons—that must be the initiator of this series of demon possession incidents.

He is regarded as the source of disaster by the people of the whole town.

Xia Jing's slender fingers quickly turned the page backwards.

For about forty-one days after Mayor Yis' death, the record books were filled with little bits and pieces of the town.

Someone quarreled with someone over a potato.

Someone went to someone's door and poured dung and started a fight.

Who had sex with whom, slept together, and was discovered, they refused to admit that they were having an affair, and only attributed everything to the effect of alcohol.

……

Until No.40 a day.

Xia Jing stopped turning the page.

On the No.40 day when the mayor of Is died, his daughter, Elizabeth, disappeared.

Later, the town began to have frequent incidents of demon possession.

The recorder's handwriting became more chaotic, revealing his inner anxiety, confusion and panic.

"Today, xxx's stomach suddenly bulged. He is a man, how could he be pregnant? What kind of weird thing is that? Everyone in the town worked together to catch him, cut open his stomach, and found that It turned out to be a living bat. This is exactly the same as Mayor Yisi’s situation, this is what the devil conceived in the human body, and xxx has also been possessed!"

……

"Another townsman was possessed in the town. Fortunately, her neighbor found out that something was wrong with her. During the interrogation, xxx kept complaining that her neighbor was the real demon. Although we ended up in xxx's lap A bat's head was dissected out, but just in case, we decided to bring her neighbors and torture them."

……

"...We issue a warning to the residents of the whole town. Demon possession incidents occur frequently unknowingly. The town of Grames is undergoing a test. Everyone must be extremely vigilant about their surroundings. Once they find something is wrong, once they have doubts, Please tell us immediately, we will arrest all suspicious persons, and we will never miss a single one."

……

"Today we found two possessed persons. The devil is too cunning, poor villagers! The abominable and incompetent mayor of Yisi! It all started with him, and he brought the disaster This innocent town..."

……

"xxx died during the interrogation! Poor xxx, we dissected all parts of his body and found no trace of a bat. He is innocent! The xxx who identified him is the real devil, his bat is hidden in the In his belly!"

……

"We are finding more and more people possessed by demons. How many times have we killed the demons? When will he leave, or will he never let us go?"

……

"I began to feel panic, how did the devil possess the townspeople, and how did he choose the lamb?"

The incident record book ends here, and there is no follow-up content.

But seeing this, almost everyone can imagine——

"It's not like what Zheng Shu said, the people in this whole town... were all possessed by demons in the end, and died of dismemberment, right?" Jia Qing was speechless.

Gao Sheng turned pale and said, "But where did the bones of these townspeople go?"

So far, they have only found four skeletons in total.

But judging from the number of ghosts, there are at least a hundred people in this whole town.

So many people died in this small town, where are their bodies?

Xia Jing put down the event record book, looked at Feng Shi and Bian Ya: "What did you find there?"

The two were reviewing the interrogation transcripts.

Feng Shi said: "Most of the recorded interrogations are about the incident of demon possession. They only wrote who denied being a demon, who identified who, and who was eventually dissected to confirm the identity of the demon."

Bian Ya said: "I have a few pieces of paper here that record the content of the debate between the two sides in a small court on the fifth day after Mayor Iss' death."

The two sides in the debate were Elizabeth, the mayor's daughter, and the Lal brothers.

Yes, Elizabeth didn't believe in demon possession at all, and she decided that her father must have been killed by the townspeople.

And the scorched black arm in her father's body must have been a hoax by the murderer.

Who in this small town would do such a vicious thing?

——Of course only Brother Lal who commits all kinds of crimes!

The brothers had nothing to do all day long, they didn't work, they didn't support their families, they ate and waited to die all day, asking people for money and food.

They also kept seeing the mayor of Yisi very upset, because how could the mayor of Yisi not send money and food to them, and how could he make them hungry.

It is not surprising that they have done the thing of pushing Mayor Iss into the river before, and now they will kill Mayor Iss, cut his body open, and disguise this murder as an absurd demon possession incident !

However, in this debate, Brother Lal naturally continued to deny it.

What does this matter have to do with them?Miss Elizabeth has any proof?

They said long ago that they pushed Mayor Iss into the river because they were drunk, and they didn't mean it!

How can you still hold grudges in your heart and still try to frame innocent people as murderers?

At the end of the debate, the judge asked the opinions of the townspeople.

After thinking about it, the townspeople all said that Brother Lal was really bad at ordinary times, but it is a fact that the mayor has a weird temper recently.

Some townspeople said: "The weather has been very hot recently, and it almost killed us. Since the mayor of Yisi took office, how many times have similar disasters happened in the town? This is the disaster brought by the devil, so this time it is absolutely It’s also a devil’s descending event, so there’s no way to go wrong!”

Elizabeth sarcastically said: "In the past, when there were fires and plagues, you all said that the devil came. What evidence do you have? You only dragged innocent people to the execution platform one by one and forced them to admit their 'devil identity'. It is an attempt to find someone who can be blamed, as if as long as you kill the other party, everything will be better!"

"However, those 'demons' and innocent people you found out at the beginning, have you finally confirmed their identity as demons? Unlike my father who was put into the charred arm by a prank, what is in their body? There is nothing! You killed them just talking about yourself, and you didn’t even bother to dig the grave, just threw them into the river, how innocent are they?”

"As for the fire? The day before the fire broke out in the field, didn't someone see the children of Mel's family playing with fire? Was it really a natural disaster?"

"When the plague happened, my father wanted to help everyone fight the plague together, but you didn't trust him, ah, let me be more precise, you didn't even bother to move!"

"You always expect to kill an imaginary enemy, an imaginary demon, and everything will get better naturally, but such a good thing will never happen in this world!"

"The weather is very hot recently, yes, so what? So you can hide at home and don't have to do anything? If you don't work, the money will be sent to you automatically, and the food will automatically appear in your mouth ?"

"In the past, you always thought that the mayor should unconditionally bring prosperity to you lazy people and let you live a good life. Now that my father is dead, do you still think so?"

After Elizabeth's speech, the attitude of the villagers became fierce, a bit like anger from embarrassment.

Those continuous speeches made the nine players in the torture room frown.

"The mayor of Yisi is a demon, stop making excuses, or are you also possessed by a demon? I suggest that everyone torture her!"

"That's right, cut her body open and check it out!"

"I once saw the mayor's eyes turn the color of blood with my own eyes, that's the devil's eyes!"

"My son has never played with fire in a field, Miss Elizabeth, please don't talk nonsense!"

"The mayor of Yisi once laughed wildly in front of me. He has long been possessed by a demon!"

"Me too, I have also seen strange phenomena on Mayor Yis..."

"me too……"

……

Zheng Shu moved his lips, and said, "Why do I feel that I can't breathe after watching this debate record...it makes me angry!"

Jia Qing said angrily: "I think the mayor of Yisi was wronged! These villagers have been exposed by Elizabeth for their ignorance. They are so stubborn that they will label the mayor!"

After Xia Jing flipped through the records, his tone was very calm: "But the beginning of this series of events is indeed the death of the mayor."

Although it took 41 days after the death of the mayor, the demonic incident in Grammes town officially broke out.

But there is definitely a connection between the two.

"There is one problem worth noting," Song Yangsi thought, "for the demon-possession incident 41 days later, these villagers have been able to identify the 'bat' conceived in the body of the demon-possessed person, but for the mayor's body That thing that came out, they've always called 'the charred arm'."

The subtle difference between the two is a very obvious loophole, which can be used as an entry point for them to dig out the truth.

Xia Jing put down the parchment and said, "We have to find the mayor's body first."

Song Yang nodded.

Jia Qing struggled again: "However, so many people have died in this town. Facts have proved that after the death of the possessed person, the demon can escape and start looking for the next victim. We will have to find out about this invisible and intangible thing." How can I kill him?"

Feng Zhi guessed: "Metaphysics can only be dealt with in the way of metaphysics. Either there is something similar to a spell in this dungeon, or there is some way to make the demon appear."

Song Yang let out a breath, and said: "Go up first, it's already noon, we'd better explore all the remaining houses within today."

Everyone nodded and was about to move their positions.

Suddenly, Fu Lan screamed.

Everyone immediately followed the sound and looked back.

I saw Fu Lan staring at Huang Yu in horror, and Huang Yu was covering his left cheek in horror and bewilderment.

In the next second, everyone saw——

Under Huang Yu's fingers, on his left cheek, there was something under his flesh, which suddenly protruded out, and a huge bag bulged out.
