"Captain Lin, what's wrong with you? Is there any movement in the fog?" The team member behind Lin Tai clearly saw something was wrong with him and asked, "I didn't hear any movement!"
"Didn't you see it?" Lin Tai felt quite incredible. At this time, the outline of the human figure was already quite eye-catching, but only he could see it?
"Look...what do you see?" When the team members heard this, they immediately followed Lin Tai's gaze, but in his eyes, they could only see a white fog.
"Are you really Lisheng?" Lin Tai looked at the fog with wide eyes, holding up the bamboo pole vigilantly. This is not the first time he has served as captain. Captains are chosen by drawing lots from experienced players.
In the past, various creepy sounds were made in the fog, so everyone believed that there was some kind of monster hidden in the fog. However, with the power of the temple, the monster could only exist in the fog and could not enter the village through the fog. .
But now, Lin Tai heard a very clear... human voice! Exactly the same as David’s description!
According to experience, Lin Tai should insert the bamboo pole into the mist, although part of the porcelain doll will be lost.
But David's experience just now made Lin Tai hesitate. At least, the fog has no tendency to spread yet.
"Let's go first! Let's go first!" Lin Tai finally decided to focus on observation first. That voice does sound very much like Shen Lisheng, but... if it is really Lisheng, why does it only repeat
"Save me" and not say anything further? Frankly speaking... Lin Tai felt very uncomfortable in his heart.
He also had a close personal relationship with Shen Lisheng's father, Shen Zhian. Although Shen Zhian and his brother-in-law were rivals for village chief in the past, the competition between the two parties was serious, and the Shen Ge family also had a good personal relationship.
Lisheng's death... Let's take it as such... After dying in the white mist, Shen Zhi'an has been crying in tears, and he also began to have resentment towards his good friend, Village Chief Ge, Lin Tai's brother-in-law: " Why not deal with He Yun? Just choose to exile him?" But even so, the brother-in-law still chose to protect He Yun.
Even his own son, Lin Tai's nephew Ge Niancheng, didn't understand this. After all, Shen Lisheng was Ge Niancheng's good friend who grew up together.
Every year during the Qingming Festival, I still see Shen Zhian taking the tinfoil money he tied himself to in front of the white mist where Shen Lisheng was buried, and burning it in memory of his son.
Lin Tai could completely understand his mood when the white-haired man gave the black-haired man a gift, but even he couldn't go against his brother-in-law's wishes.
At that time, my brother-in-law made a prompt decision and asked everyone to patrol according to the instructions of the stone tablet, find ways to reclaim wasteland in the village, help the villagers farm and increase production despite the lack of chemical fertilizers, and through his prestige, he controlled and prevented the villagers from doing this again and again. riots under special circumstances.
The prestige of my brother-in-law in the village is unparalleled. Even some scoundrels in the village who wanted to use the white fog to seal off the village and do things worse than animals in the village did not dare to cause trouble because they were concerned about the prestige of the brother-in-law.
Therefore, as long as the brother-in-law does not die, no one will touch He Yun. After walking for about ten minutes, Lin Tai heard the voice again!
"Save...me..." This time, he looked at the fog beside him again. The sound was clearer than before, but this time, because the sky was much darker, Lin Tai couldn't see clearly the outline of the figure in the fog.
"This...what exactly..." At this time, the scene of Shen Zhian crying and burning paper money in front of the white mist appeared in front of Lin Tai again.
And every time she saw him, Shen Zhian would always ask why the village chief refused to deal with He Yun! Every time Lin Tai was in front of him, he was always speechless.
If... his son is really in this fog, can he really just ignore it?
Lin Tai had a strong conflict in his heart. Finally, he decided to pick up the bamboo pole and do the same thing as David... At the same time, David was highly disturbed.
He has no more porcelain dolls. This also means that he is the weakest link of this patrol now.
If the fog around him suddenly surged towards him, there would be nothing he could do. Even if the people behind help him, it must be based on the premise that the fog around the people behind does not spread.
Without the porcelain doll, David felt extremely heavy even walking. But now it's still a long time before the patrol ends...!
For such a long time, it was even more impossible for him to pray that the fog would never spread towards him.
"Don't be too nervous." The team members behind him obviously saw that he was now too frightened, and comforted him: "If there is any movement on your side of the fog, I will help immediately."
"Okay...I, I understand." At this moment, his foot slipped and he was startled.
"You walk carefully, be careful not to fall! Even if you fall into the fog, even the gods can't save you!"
"Okay...I...I know." David looked at the white mist and felt more and more frightened. He tried to distance himself from the white mist as much as possible, but he was afraid that the distance would exceed two meters.
He had never felt that time passed so slowly. ……as time flows. Start counting again.
"one!"
"two!"
"three!"
"Four!"……
"Eight!" Then... fell into a dead silence.
"Nine!" David shouted in horror: "Nine! Why didn't anyone call nine!" There was still no sound.
David was originally standing at the end, but now he was rearranged to the front, and now...how could there be no one left?
Who is the last one? Why can't he remember?
"Nine!" Finally, the voice of the ninth caller came belatedly. David finally breathed a sigh of relief. The person at the front of the team asked, "What's going on? Why did it take so long for the count to be counted!" The last member of the team said, "I'm sorry, I, my throat just wasn't feeling well, and I couldn't speak for a while."
"Pay attention next time!" David finally breathed a sigh of relief. But then, he felt something wasn't right. He looked at the front of the team and asked: "Um, captain, Captain Lin?" The person at the front of the team said: "Captain Lin? Are you awake? Captain Lin Tai disappeared after noon today, so it was Uncle Zhang who returned Draw lots and let me temporarily serve as captain."
"What???" David felt extremely ridiculous. He immediately ran to the front of the team and looked at the people in front of him
"team leader". The other party was a middle-aged man with a beard, his name was Li Jun, and he was also an experienced patrol member.
"Captain Lin... disappeared after noon? What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Who told you nonsense?" Li Jun looked at David in confusion,
"In the afternoon, your dad heard that Captain Lin was missing. After I was temporarily elected as captain, didn't he bring you here to deliver bacon to me?" David opened his eyes wide and said, "You are crazy. You? My dad and I are delivering bacon to Captain Lin!" Then he looked at the other team members and said loudly: "What's wrong with you? You're all talking! Let him go crazy and talk nonsense here? Didn't Captain Lin lead the team just now? Us?"
"Captain Lin?"
"Where did Captain Lin come from?"
"That's right, David, are you out of your mind?"
"That's right, when did you see Captain Lin in our team?"
"Impossible, impossible, Captain Lin..." But then, David suddenly discovered something extremely terrifying.
Wait a minute... If Captain Lin Tai is no longer here... then how come there are nine people counting? David immediately started from Li Jun, walked from the front to the back of the team, and counted them one by one... plus himself... exactly nine people!
David suddenly felt terrified! Without Captain Lin, the number is still nine people! This means that someone has sneaked into the team
"The tenth person"!
"That 'person' killed Captain Lin and brought him into the fog!" It's like no one remembers how Shen Lisheng was brought into the fog. Only the captain remembers Shen Lisheng, but now... there is no captain Got it!
David looked at the seven people in front of him... something even more terrifying happened. In his memory, these seven people were indeed members of his patrol team until now!
He couldn't find out who was extra.
"people"!
