I've been tricked by ghosts before, so that's all.
This time, I simply didn't even see the town. It would be a bit cowardly to retreat.
With Lao Han's steady character, he felt that if he stepped back at this time, he would definitely be ridiculed by Luo Chuyitong.
Jiang Yue had no reason to back down.
If he backs off, it means giving in, and Zhiling will definitely do something bad.
With Zhiling's urinary nature, he might have terminated the contract on the spot, or even directly judged him as his ex.
Although Jiang Yue was unhappy with the feeling of being breached at any time, he really had to break into Yunxi Town, even if it was a dragon pool, a tiger's den, or a ghost town.
The two exchanged glances and immediately understood each other's meaning.
Then go ahead!
From Zhuangzi to the town, there is only one or two miles left. After turning a mountain col, the two of them heard the sound of gurgling water in front of them. A tree-lined embankment fell into their sight, and an ancient bridge connected to the end of the road.
A clear stream lay in front of them.
Yunxi Town was built and developed because of this stream.
Jiang Yue and Lao Han looked at each other and arrived at the bridge again.
Jiang Yue stepped onto the bridge and observed it carefully for a while, but couldn't detect anything strange at all.
The stream under the bridge is crystal clear, and you can even see centipede grass in the water. Occasionally, there are schools of small fish shuttled between the water plants, which is leisurely and comfortable.
There are rows of tall maple and poplar trees on the shore, with plump crowns, lush branches and leaves, providing shade. Occasionally, a wild duck flutters its wings and takes off from the trees, gliding all the way to the other side.
Everything in front of you is so peaceful and peaceful that it feels extremely unreal.
This time, is it possible that the devil is trying to break the wall again?
Strangely enough, when we approached Yunxi Town and reached the bridge, the animals we saw escaping completely disappeared.
On the contrary, everything I saw in front of me was completely opposite to what I had seen before. It's a completely normal town that's quiet and peaceful.
It seemed like everything I had seen along the way was like a brief nightmare.
"Xiao Jiang, is this... not an illusion again?" Old Han was a little unsure.
The two completely different scenes before and after made Old Han lose his judgment.
"Go check out the town."
Jiang Yue has been observing carefully. At least so far, he doesn't think it's like a ghost beating a wall.
There were not many pedestrians on the bridge. Occasionally, there would be one or two people passing by on electric donkeys. Without exception, they were all in a hurry.
It seemed that these people were in a hurry, and their faces were somewhat wary of outsiders Jiang Yue and Lao Han.
Even judging from their expressions, they seemed to be quite resistant to strangers.
Old Han started his poor acting again, taking a few pictures with a SLR camera from time to time.
When I encountered a ghost hitting a wall before, all the photos I took with my SLR ended up being blurry, so dark that I couldn't see anything.
This time, Lao Han was very steady. He took a few pictures and then went back to take a look.
Seeing that the photo actually existed, Old Han felt a little more at ease.
"Xiao Jiang, the photo is not blurry this time."
"It doesn't matter whether the photo is blurry or not. If all this is an illusion, the photo you see now may not be real."
Ghost hits the wall, also known as ghost covering the eyes.
To put it bluntly, everything you see with your eyes is an illusion. Even the content in the camera is the same.
The bridge is not long, only a few hundred meters.
After crossing the bridge, the scene that fell in front of me seemed familiar.
In the front house, the middle-aged man had already washed his 70% to 80% new motorcycle. The car stopped aside, and a middle-aged man stood at the door, smoking a cigarette.
When he saw Jiang Yue and Lao Han, he looked at them with strange eyes.
Both Jiang Yue and Lao Han felt an inexplicable sense of absurdity in their hearts.
This scene is so similar to the scene Gui Daqiang saw before.
Everything Guidaqiang saw and everything he saw before him seemed to be on the same timeline. I saw this middle-aged man washing the car before, but now the car has just been washed and parked aside to dry!
The old man who does bamboo strip work next door is still concentrating on the bamboo strip work in his hands in the courtyard.
I saw him opening bamboo in Gui Daqiang before.
At this moment, the bamboo has been opened, and the old man is dividing it into strips and silk strips. In the old man's hands, a bamboo strip knife was like magic.
Each silk thread is fine and even, no less impressive than a machine.
Lao Han is very dedicated to his work. When Jiang Yue and Lao Han passed by his door, he didn't even raise his head.
This job was very common for Jiang Yue when he was a child.
When we were in Panshiling, my grandfather sometimes got interested and would go up the mountain to carry a few moso bamboos back and do bamboo strip work with great interest.
The chairs, baskets, dustpans, baskets in the house at that time...
Basically they are all made by grandpa. In terms of exquisite workmanship, it is not inferior to those old craftsmen.
Doesn't everything in front of me look like it's haunted?
Lao Han was obviously not at ease, so he took out a bottle and sprinkled it around when no one was paying attention.
Black dog blood is now a must-have.
After scattering in a circle, the surrounding scene did not change at all.
"Let's go, we have really arrived in Yunxi Town this time." Jiang Yue finally confirmed this.
When we arrived at a relatively lively area of the town, the crowds were obviously much more crowded than what we saw the last time the ghosts hit the wall. Although the streets were not crowded, the flow of people was at least normal.
However, everyone here seems to be worried, and they are not only wary of strangers like Jiang Yue Han.
Even the people in the town seemed to be wary of each other.
Even people who are very familiar say hello to each other and leave in a hurry.
Lao Han struck up a conversation with passers-by several times, but the passers-by didn't even stop, waved their hands, turned around and left. No courtesy to Lao Han at all.
Some of them with bad tempers would even roll their eyes at them in disgust.
"Xiao Jiang, were the people in Yunxi Town always so weird in the past?"
"That's not the case. In my memory, the folk customs in the town are quite simple."
Considering the frequent murders in the town, people are panicked and wary of outsiders, the current situation seems to make sense.
However, according to the old farmer in the village outside, murders occurred frequently in Yunxi Town. Didn’t everyone who could leave leave?
Even the villagers who could leave on the outskirts of the town left. Why didn't the residents of Yunxi Town leave?
Jiang Yue sniffed and suddenly asked: "Old Han, do you smell anything in the air?"
"What?" As an old criminal detective, Old Han's sense of smell is sensitive enough even if his nose is not as good as that of a police dog. Being reminded like this by Jiang Yue, he couldn't help but sniff around.
Nothing was found.
"Don't you smell anything?"
"You really didn't smell it?" Jiang Yue frowned.
His physical body has been strengthened twice as much, and his body functions must have been greatly improved compared to ordinary people, including the ability of the five senses and six senses.
The sense of smell is naturally part of it.
Lao Han couldn't smell it, but Jiang Yue could smell it.
"What do you smell?"
"The smell of burning paper." Jiang Yue's tone was a little grim.
When he was a child, he had the experience of living in the countryside for a long time. Every year during the Qingming Festival and Spring Festival, he would go back to his hometown to sweep tombs and pay homage to his ancestors. Jiang Yue was very familiar with the rural routine.
The smell in the air is obviously the smell left by burning a lot of yellow paper. Judging from the concentration of the smell, the yellow paper was still being burned, and even more than one household was burning it.
However, considering the continuous occurrence of murders in the town, it is reasonable for the victims to do rituals and burn some paper money.
So, it makes sense that the residents of the town have worried faces and are wary of each other.
In every murder case, the murderer was obviously caught, but the murders never stopped.
The fear formed by this vicious cycle will obviously make normal people's mentality collapse. In this atmosphere, it is normal to be wary of each other and suspicious of each other.
Who can tell whether the person who chats and laughs with you during the day will break into your house at night and kill you directly?
The atmosphere in Yunxi Town now may be that everyone looks like a murderer.
"Old Han, how many murders have occurred in Yunxi Town so far?"
"Seven cases, maybe more, since yesterday, we have lost contact with the relevant parties in the town and have no latest information."
"Lost contact, what do you mean?" Jiang Yue looked surprised.
"That's the literal meaning." Old Han sighed, "otherwise, why do you think Luo Chu is so anxious?"
Judging from the list, there are far fewer replicators in Yunxi Town than in Star City. But judging from the current situation, the situation in Yunxi Town seems to be far more severe than that in Star City.
In the end, what happened in the small Yunxi Town?
Can even the official team lose contact? What happened in Yunxi Town?
Could it be that the entire Yunxi Town is really controlled by the replicators and they dare to attack the official team?
Taking into account the previous fight for the mobile phone, the replicator actually drove a garbage truck to hit Luo Chu's men, obviously intending to kill them.
Thinking about it this way, it seems that it is not impossible for the replicator to be daring!
However, can a dozen replicators control the entire Yunxi Town? Jiang Yue obviously didn't believe it.
Ghosts hit the wall, replicators...
From this point of view, there are at least two forces entrenched in Yunxi Town, and these two forces are very likely to be colluding!
