The book with only ten or so pages was quickly read. There is not a single word in the book, and it is all composed of bright and straightforward pictures.

The content is very simple, to the effect that a down-and-out sculptor finally made a work that shocked the world after "untold hardships" and became famous in one fell swoop.

And the work that made him famous was the sculpture on the cover, and it was also the girl lying in a pool of blood that they saw on the first page.

The sculptor completed his work based on the corpse of a young girl.

The expression of the praying sculpture is vivid and lively, as if it is really disturbed by something terrible, praying to the gods for peace.In fact, it is the girl's fear of death under the sculpture.

"I read similar thriller novels before I entered the horror game, and I was worried about whether I would encounter such a dungeon after entering the horror game," said a player, "I didn't expect that I hadn't encountered the dungeon yet, and I saw this story again. "

"Why didn't I come across it, isn't this dungeon?"

Withdrawing his gaze, Shen Qingcheng said, "The beauty bead was first raised in the village more than ten years ago, and the patriarch at that time must have gotten the inspiration from this book."

Everyone is puzzled.

Lu Qi: "Pearls are formed because foreign matter falls into the shell when the oyster is eating, and the oyster will secrete nacre to wrap the foreign matter layer by layer. Over time, it becomes the pearl we see."

"The artificial culture of pearls requires artificially stuffing foreign objects into the shells at the right time," Lu Qi thought for a moment, "The temperature is high in summer, which can promote wound healing. As expected, it should be summer."

Shen Qingcheng applauded in cooperation with the little seal.

"Hiss," the previous player rubbed the goose bumps on his arm, "Fortunately, this is just a game."

Who doesn't a normal person read it as a picture book?Only crazy people can get inspired and actually do it.

Aunt Huang still didn't understand, "But sculptures are sculptures, and pearls are pearls. How big can a small pearl fit a corpse?"

The patriarch got inspiration from the book, the foreign body should be a human corpse, but can the corpse be stuffed into a clamshell if it is so big?

Li Jiao also said: "I asked, and the villagers who dissected the pearl during the day said that the biggest pearl ever produced in their village was as big as a human head."

But this is not enough to stuff a corpse.

If they can take a look at the real beauty beads, perhaps many of their doubts can be answered.

"It's getting late, let's go eat first, and talk while eating." Aunt Huang greeted.

A group of people left Huang Pingwei's room and returned to the main room. Li Jiao took the book away on the grounds that she found it first, and the others didn't bother with her.

Anyway, they already knew the content, and they also knew where the book was, so they would go to Li Jiao for it when they needed it.

At the dinner table, they discussed Huang Pingwei's current state. Most people believed that Huang Pingwei had already encountered an accident.

Judging from the contents of the book, the book is a family secret, and if he stole it, the patriarch would definitely not let him go.

Shen Qingcheng also remembered something. In the afternoon, Lu Qi asked Zeng Lingling if there were any beauty beads in the village. Zeng Lingling said that the beauty beads were kept in the basement of the patriarch's house.

If Huang Pingwei had read the contents of the book and had the same speculation as them, he would definitely want to see what the real beauty beads look like.

If he found the beauty beads hidden in the basement when he stole the book, then he would definitely go to the patriarch's house again.

Huang Pingwei died at the hands of the patriarch?

"But since this book is so important, why didn't the matriarch send someone to take it back? Isn't she afraid that we will see what's inside?"

She was not afraid, because she had no intention of letting us go.

After the meal, the two returned to the room after washing up. Zeng Lingling took Xu Sen out of his trouser pockets.

Sitting on the cabinet, she said: "Your companion is probably in danger."

Shen Qingcheng and Lu Qi knew this without her telling, in horror games, disappearance itself represented an unknown.They went to bed and took a nap for a while, and after all the players fell asleep in the middle of the night, Shen Qingcheng was woken up by Lu Qi.

The two dressed and tidied up, took the two paper figurines and rode the moonlight straight to the dwarf mountain where the lunatic was.

In the middle of the walk, they met the skeleton of that night again.

This time they saw clearly that the skeletons crawled out of the ponds where the mussels were raised, and there were densely packed skeletons climbing up and running in the same direction in every pond.

Zeng Lingling told them in a low voice that the rotting corpses thrown into the pond would almost always be picked up and taken to the mountain. Only her and Xu Sen's remains were protected by her from being picked up.

The two carefully followed a group of skeletons. The young man who stopped them during the day probably knew about the skeletons at night, so he didn't show up. Shen Qingcheng and Lu Qi went up the mountain smoothly.

The area on the top of the mountain is not large, and you can see all the surroundings clearly at a glance. A very crudely built cabin is located in the middle.

There was a faint yellow light from a remnant lamp outside the house, and a man with disheveled hair and his face was standing under the lamp with his back to them.

The skeletons swarmed into groups without stopping. They rushed towards the man under the lamp one by one, and then silently annihilated into powder about one meter away from the man.

Of course, this is just an illusion, and there is no real powder sprinkled, but ordinary people can see it, and men can obviously see this scene.

However, he remained indifferent and did not respond at all.

Zeng Lingling covered her mouth and sobbed softly, she couldn't control herself, every time she saw this picture, her heart ached.Her Ah Lin was so young when he was sent to the mountain, how scared he must have been at that time.

This movement was quickly noticed by the man, and the man turned around, without the vigilance or defense he imagined, just staring at them indifferently.

"A Lin..." Zeng Lingling couldn't help calling out.

Shen Qingcheng and Lu Qi climbed up to the top of the mountain and appeared in front of the man. The man who didn't even respond to the "A Lin" moved and said hoarsely, "...outsiders."

There was a chain tied to the man's feet, but if you look carefully, you can find that the other end of the chain has been cut off, which means that Xu Lin is actually free, and he can leave the mountain at any time.

Did Xu Lin stay on the mountain voluntarily?Why?

Shen Qingcheng squinted his eyes and wanted to see the place where Xu Lin raised the pearl. After working hard for a long time, it was still dark. He pulled the people beside him, "Have you seen the pond?"

Lu Qi: "Behind the wooden house."

So Shen Qingcheng directly asked the person opposite, "Mr. Xu Lin, I heard that you are the best bead raiser in the village, can I ask how you raise beauty beads?"

It can be said to be very polite.

But even with such a blunt question, Xu Lin still didn't speak a word. It could be seen that he didn't care about the beauty beads, but if he didn't care, why did he stay to help his father and mother and enemies?

His indifferent appearance made Zeng Lingling even more uncomfortable, hesitantly wanted to get closer, and called again, "A Lin, I am mother..."

Shen Qingcheng thought for a while, released the souls of Zeng Lingling and Xu Sen from the paper figurines, and gave them a bit of ghost energy so that they could manifest and talk to Xu Lin.

Xu Lin finally reacted when he saw Xu Sen's soul body.

Taking advantage of the reunion of the family of three, Shen Qingcheng and Lu Qi took a flashlight to look at the pond behind the house where the beauty pearls were kept. The pond was smaller than the one in the village, but there was no difference other than that.

After that, the two went to the wooden house again. Before entering the wooden house, Xu Lin stopped them, "The more you know about some things, the more dangerous you are."

Regarding this, Shen Qingcheng only said: "Now we are already very dangerous if we don't know."

Then he and Lu Qi entered the room, Xu Lin didn't speak again.

In the room they saw Huang Pingwei's body—hanging on the wall, half of his body was cut so that the blood-stained skeleton could be seen underneath.

Lu Qi covered his eyes for the first time, but the bloody picture still lingered in his mind, and the bloody smell mixed with the rancid smell went straight into his nose.

Shen Qingcheng held his breath, and in the end he couldn't take it anymore, he pulled down his hands covering his eyes to cover his nose and mouth, and took a deep breath.

"Does Xu Lin have no sense of smell? How did he live in such a smelly place!" He complained, this kind of thing was actually done in the house, "But why is Huang Pingwei's body here?"

Could it be that Huang Pingwei didn't go to the patriarch's house, but came to this mountain?

"Did you forget? Someone will stop you from going up the mountain during the day," Lu Qi pinched the tip of his nose, and glanced at the dead body's rigor, "He died this morning."

Huang Pingwei couldn't go up the mountain by himself during the day, so he had to be sent up the mountain after his death.

The bloody corpse gave people too much visual impact, and they were attracted by the corpse as soon as they opened the door. Now they calmed down and looked at the whole cabin, and found that apart from the bed, something occupied most of the space in the room.

It is clay sculpture.

There are all kinds of clay sculptures on the wooden shelves, the small ones are no bigger than a thumb, and the big ones are the size of an adult's fist.

And they are all in the shape of ancient beauties, some lying down for a nap, some holding their chins to enjoy the scenery, and some wearing clothes and dancing on tiptoes.

The material of the clay sculptures is white and moist, like a living cardamom girl. Their skin is delicate and smooth, their expressions are fresh, and their gestures and gestures reveal all kinds of amorous feelings.

And these clay sculptures are not wearing clothes.

Lu Qi frowned. In the afternoon, Li Jiao showed them the clay figurines of her and Feng Tianrun. According to her own account, the two small statues were mixed with some pearl powder, which cost a lot of money.

But those two small statues gave them a completely different feeling from the ones in front of them.

Shen Qingcheng: "Will you add bone meal?"

They searched the house and found a stone mortar in the corner

There were some broken bones in the mortar that were not cleaned, but after Lu Qi's inspection, they were indeed human bones.

It turned out that the scene of the skeletons they saw when they went up the mountain annihilated into powder near Xu Lin meant this.

Human bone powder, pearl powder, and clay are mixed to make beauty clay sculptures of various shapes, and these clay sculptures are obviously related to beauty beads.

"I seem to know how beauty beads are raised," Shen Qingcheng said, "Now I'm even more curious about what real beauty beads will look like."

Although Xu Lin didn't cooperate, their purpose of coming to the mountain was barely achieved. How to raise the beauty beads, both of them had a general idea in their hearts.

After that, I will go to the matriarch's house to see the true face of the beauty beads.

Before going down the mountain, Shen Qingcheng asked curiously, "I heard from the villagers that you don't like outsiders, is it true or not?"

Xu Lin, who knew his family, had a better attitude and replied, "Really."

"why?"

Xu Lin pointed to the corpses in the house, looked at them and laughed cruelly, "Because it's not you, it will be someone from the village hanging there."

And no matter who it was, he would be happy to kill him, remove the flesh and blood, and grind the bones into powder.
