infinite danger
Chapter 44 Electric Puppet
Ji Siwei glanced at the clock on the wall calmly, then turned his gaze to the stairs.
After the fat man in the ball suit went upstairs, he still hasn't come down.
Looking back on the look of the fat man in the ball uniform, I always feel that something is wrong, but I can't tell what is wrong.
Ji Siwei withdrew his gaze, looked soft, and asked the patriarch humbly and politely: "Patriarch, what do you know about the Wishing Temple?"
Looking at Ji Siwei with gray eyes and rubbing his thumb against the cigarette stick, the patriarch took a puff of cigarette calmly, exhaled the smoke contentedly, and said in a hoarse and vague voice:
"As I said before, hundreds of years ago, we had a migration. The reasons for that migration were very complicated and involved many things. One of them was related to this Wishing Temple. If you want to talk about it in detail, it is a paragraph It's a long, long story..."
Li Yin's face was tired, and he pinched his eyebrows: "Patriarch, I don't want to look up your genealogy, can I trouble you to make a long story short?"
Ah Ming crossed his long legs, leaned forward slightly, propped his chin with his palm, winked at Li Yin, and said calmly: "Don't worry, let the patriarch talk."
Ah Ming has a hunch that what the patriarch will say next is related to the real main storyline of this dungeon.
Li Yin received Ah Ming's signal, frowned, and didn't speak any more.
The patriarch took another puff of the cigarette, and his thoughts diverged with the smoke, returning to a long time ago:
"It is recorded in the genealogy of Linan Ancient Village that hundreds of years ago, a large-scale war took place here, resulting in countless casualties.
The clan prophet took us into the deep mountains to escape the catastrophe, and when we came out of the mountains, there were lonely ghosts everywhere.Layers of bones were buried under the gate of the old village. The gate of ghosts was opened by Yin Qi and turned into a gate of ghosts, which is no longer suitable for living. However, the graves and roots of our ancestors are here, and migration is even more difficult...
Just in a dilemma, a young man met the eight-tailed cat by chance. With the protection of the eight-tailed cat, the tribe managed to find the current place and rebuild their home.Although it is a bit far from the ancestral grave, it was indeed the best choice at that time. Later, our ancestors took root here, and life gradually returned to peace.
That young man thus became the first patriarch of our clan. "
"Excuse me..." Li Yin was puzzled, "What is the connection between this information and the Wishing Temple?"
"Naturally there is a connection." The patriarch squinted his eyes and continued: "When my family moved here, the wish-fulfilling temple was already there. No one knows who built this temple, and no one knows how many temples there are. New Years...
According to the genealogy, this place was originally the site of the evil god in the temple.After the eight-tailed cat had a fight with it, the two sides reached an agreement, as long as our family worships it from generation to generation, it will allow us to live here without interference. "
"So there is such a relationship." Ji Siwei nodded after hearing this, and asked, "Then what happened to the person who went to the wish-fulfilling temple to find clues?"
"Not dead." It took a long time for the patriarch to choke out these words.
Hearing this answer, Ji Siwei didn't think the situation was optimistic—sometimes, not dying is more painful than dying.
"I've finished what I can say. I'll go back and call some young people to come and lead you." The patriarch put away his bong, put his hands behind his back, and stood up slowly: "One last reminder..."
"There are two monsters in this house, and one of them is among you. If someone calls your name, don't say yes."
"Hmph!" Li Yin also stood up, staring into the patriarch's eyes with an unfriendly expression: "The reminder you gave yesterday caused the death of one of our teammates, who knows if you will cheat us again!"
The patriarch didn't respond to Li Yin's anger, he even smiled: "I'm just saying what I should say, what to do is your business, and you are naturally responsible for the consequences."
After the patriarch finished speaking, he ignored everyone and walked out of the old house with his hands behind his back.
Everyone in the old house fell silent because of the words of the patriarch.
Wang Yiyi tightly held the cup in her hand, and said in a trembling voice, "Is there really a monster hiding among us..."
Li Yin clenched his fist and slammed it on the table, angrily said: "The patriarch, this old man, must have deliberately frightened us, deliberately said such words of discord, so that we will not trust each other and start to split from within!"
Wang Yiyi nodded: "Then shall we follow his prompt?"
Li Yin calmed down a little, looked at Ji Siwei: "Huya, what do you think?"
Ji Siwei looked at the wooden box with the map on the table, and didn't respond to Li Yin. For a moment, he seemed to be talking to himself: "The patriarch doesn't always give wrong reminders. Last night, I did meet some evil spirits who could call their names. So I think the tip this time is true."
"I advise everyone, from now on, don't call other people's names, and if someone calls your name, don't answer."
Li Yin suddenly realized that Huya had deliberately not responded to him.
This young man is too cautious.
Li Yin frowned: "Why have you seen that kind of evil? What does it look like?"
"Its face was swollen like a steamed bun, it had no hair, no nose and mouth, the whites of its eyes were huge, and the pupils were extremely small."
Ji Siwei turned the draft paper on which the map had been drawn to the other side, and while describing it verbally, he recalled the appearance of the evil spirit. With a few strokes, he vividly outlined the evil and sad face of the monster.
Ji Siwei put the painting on the table and tapped it with his long fingers: "It looks like this."
Everyone came over to watch the portrait.
Li Yin: "It looks like steamed buns have become fine."
Ah Ming: "So it looks so ugly."
"It suddenly occurred to me..." Wang Yiyi raised her head: "If the patriarch's hint is true, it means that there are indeed two monsters in this house!"
"The monster that kills the blind girl counts as one, and the other one that seduces the soul by shouting its name is likely to be this guy." Ji Siwei pushed the drawing paper forward, and his gentle expression disappeared: "And it is hidden in our among."
Li Yin's face turned pale: "Do you think that the other monster could be the ghost of the blind girl? In this dungeon that is so dark, she died so badly, she probably felt unwilling..."
"No way!" Wang Yiyi's face faded, and she interrupted Li Yin's words with some gaffe: "I mean... the blind girl sister wouldn't treat us like this."
"Who knows?" Ah Ming lowered his head and smiled, "But I think the fat man hasn't come back all night..."
"Are you calling me?" A hoarse voice suddenly sounded from the stairs.
Everyone looked back and saw the fat man in the ball uniform came down at some point, with two dimples squeezed out of his fleshy face, standing motionless at the stairs.
His hair was wet, as if he had taken a bath and changed his clothes.
Li Yin: "Fuck, why are you so elusive, it scares me!"
The fat man in the ball uniform tilted his head, his pupils narrowed: "Hee hee... are you talking ill of me?"
"Of course not." Li Yin avoided the seriousness and said lightly: "We just finished discussing, and we will go out to find clues in a while."
After the fat man in the ball uniform appeared, Ah Ming couldn't continue talking. She and Ji Siwei glanced at each other, and Ji Siwei changed the subject tacitly: "Now we must quickly find clues. If we delay for a few more days, we will have to explain what happened in the future." here."
Li Yin sighed: "Naturally, this dungeon is really too difficult..."
The fat man in the ball suit walked towards the living room, with a stiff smile on his face, as if he was wearing a human skin mask.
As the fat man got closer, Ji Siwei smelled a faint smell of blood.
Ji Siwei frowned, and looked at the fat man in the ball uniform calmly, trying to find a clue on that smiling face.
When Ji Siwei saw the hands of the fat man in the ball uniform, alarm bells rang in Ji Siwei's heart - the hands of the fat man in the ball uniform seemed to have been washed, the nails were long and hard, there were bloodstains hidden in the nails, and some meat scraps could be seen!
Ji Siwei's heart was cold, he recalled what the fat man in the ball uniform said before he went upstairs——
"I don't want to eat these, I'm going to eat the snacks in the room."
"Brother Li, I will eat less snacks."
The snacks in the room refer to the corpse of the blind woman!
Now in the room on the second floor...
His stomach churned, Ji Siwei gritted his teeth and stopped imagining in time.
What is certain now is that there is evil spirit living in Fatty's body.
Whether it looks like the one with white flour steamed buns remains to be verified.
The tricky thing is that when the fat man in the ball uniform came back, he called Li Yin's name, and Li Yin answered.
The next target for Fatty Ball is Li Yin.
Li Yin was unaware of his crisis, and looked at Ji Siwei's arm curiously: "Hey, why is there a puppet crawling around on your arm?"
The little puppet got tired of playing the finger-moving game, and opened up a new game project, using Ji Siwei's arm as a pillar, and crawled happily.
Ji Siwei breathed out, opened his eyes and said nonsense: "This is a dungeon brought in from the present world, an electric puppet."
Li Yin looked at the little puppet with sparkling eyes: "It's so fun, and it looks cute. Lend it to me for research. I just love these novel gadgets..."
Ji Siwei raised his eyebrows: "Forgive me for not giving up."
Li Yin held up three fingers to promise: "I'll just take a look, I promise not to break the little puppet."
Ji Siwei was unmoved: "No."
"It's not about borrowing your wife, why are you so stingy..." Li Yin was extremely disappointed: "Stingy, drink cold water."
Ji Siwei: "..."
Seeing Ji Siwei's unrequited expression, Ah Ming couldn't help but laughed.
Ji Siwei looked at Ah Ming helplessly.
On the other side, the fat man in the ball suit stretched his head cautiously, looking sideways at the puppet.
The little puppet put its hands in its pockets and gave the fat man a fierce "stare".
The smile on the fat man's face in the ball uniform seemed to be cracked, showing a little panic, and then he silently took a step back, and then took another step, quietly walking away from Ji Siwei.
Not long after, the patriarch brought five local youths to the old house.
They wore light long clothes and trousers, and their wrists and ankles were tied tightly with ropes. Some carried bows and arrows, and some carried large knives, with triangular face scarves tied on their faces, and a cloth bag and water bottle on their shoulders.Even the pace of walking is a bit more stable than ordinary people, it looks like Lian Jiazi.
"It's getting late, this place is a little far from the gate of the old village, and after dark, the danger will multiply." The patriarch distributed the prepared packages and water bottles to the people, and said loudly: "I hope you will go back early and give the map safely. Bring it out!"
The five local youths stood up straight with solemn expressions: "We will fulfill our mission!"
"I am the captain of this operation. Our code names are Ah Yi, Ah Er, Ah San, Ah Si, and Ah Wu." The young man in the lead took a step forward and spoke in standard Mandarin: "Jiuzhaimen In the deep forest, there are natural nests of insects and snakes. There are countless poisonous snakes and insects. You have to change into the long clothes and trousers prepared in the package. Like us, tie the sleeves and trousers with rope, wear a face mask, and expose as little as possible. skin."
After everyone changed their clothes and came out, the team leader sprayed them one by one with the insect repellent water specially made by the villagers.
Ji Siwei was wearing a gown with collar and buckle embroidered with pixiu patterns, red ropes were wrapped around his wrists and ankles, a black triangle scarf was tied on his face, only a pair of amber phoenix eyes were exposed, a knife was held in his right hand, and a wooden box containing a map in his left, he said coldly :"Set off."
Only then did the group pack their bags and set off in a mighty manner.
After the fat man in the ball suit went upstairs, he still hasn't come down.
Looking back on the look of the fat man in the ball uniform, I always feel that something is wrong, but I can't tell what is wrong.
Ji Siwei withdrew his gaze, looked soft, and asked the patriarch humbly and politely: "Patriarch, what do you know about the Wishing Temple?"
