Little hell.
This was the first time Ning Qiushui came into contact with this word.
But just by the name, he could feel that this was not a good place.
"What is 'Little Hell'?"
Li Yue shook his head.
"I am not sure as well."
"'She' called it a little hell, but she didn't say anything about what happened there. It seemed very taboo."
"In the orphanage back then, after the director and the nurses discovered the existence of the 'Water Man', they tried various methods to stop it, but in the end they were unsuccessful."
"In the end, in desperation, in order to protect the children in the orphanage, they chose to stop the 'Water Man' by risking their lives together."
Although it had been many years, Li Yue still had tears in his eyes when he slowly told the incident.
Although Ning Qiushui had consulted some information about what happened in the orphanage back then, only the parties who had personally experienced these things could know the specific circumstances and details.
"So, Cai Quan killed all the caregivers in the orphanage... to stop the "Water Man"?"
Facing Ning Qiushui's inquiry, Li Yue raised his head and gently brushed the corners of his eyes with his hands. The voice was choked.
"Yes."
"The 'Water Man' was not very powerful at that time, and it could only possess adults with strong bodies but weak wills to 'act normally'."
"The director thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't make a decision. Both the children in the orphanage and the caregivers have been with him and the orphanage for a long time, and he can't let go."
"But this world has always been cruel. If it continues to drag on, he will not be able to protect anyone."
"So that night, he found the few people he trusted the most and arranged a series of plans...Uncle Cai Quan killed all the adults in the orphanage who could be possessed by the 'Water Man'."
Ning Qiushui frowned.
"The 'Water Man' incident has been going on for so long, why didn't you call the police?"
There are many things the police can do. Even the police in a small town cannot deal with those evil spirits, but at least they can quickly transfer people.
Li Yue, who was sitting on the haystack, had a strong sense of compassion in his eyes, as if wine that had been brewing for decades was suddenly opened.
"...At that time, the town was too poor, and Pomegranate City was also in chaos. Without the order we have today, the police force in the small town was simply not enough to take care of these things. They did not have enough manpower and money, and the police in the city center would not easily Be alerted...unless there is a big case.”
Ning Qiushui understood.
The Pomegranate City twenty years ago... is indeed difficult to describe.
Such a horrific massacre in an orphanage would definitely alert the police station in the center of Shiliu City. Only if they take action can the children in these orphanages have a chance to survive.
The reason why Cai Quan chose to stay was, on the one hand, because he had been a hunter for so many years and even single-handedly killed a tiger in the mountains. His psychological quality and willpower must be much stronger than normal people. He believed that he would not be killed by a waterman. Possession, the second is that there must be a decent "murderer" to take the blame for the horrific massacre in the orphanage.
Otherwise, if the incident continues, it will definitely affect the future lives of the children in the orphanage.
"Uncle Cai Quan is indeed a character."
Ning Qiushui couldn't help but sigh.
"It's a pity that such a person ends up being possessed by the 'Water Man'."
Li Yue took a deep breath and calmed down his mind.
The heavy sound of rain in her ears brought her thoughts back to the long past.
"No……"
"In fact, Uncle Cai was not possessed at that time."
"The 'Water Man' is possessed by another person."
Ning Qiushui was slightly startled when he heard this.
"On another person?"
"But haven't all the adults in the orphanage been killed by Uncle Cai Quan?"
A wry smile emerged from the corner of Li Yue's mouth.
"Yes... but as I just said, that evil ghost only chooses adults to possess it because it can move freely after possessing adults."
"That doesn't mean it can only possess adults."
"Of course, these were all told to me by another 'me', and the people in the orphanage didn't know about it at the time."
"There was a child in the orphanage who met it on a rainy day..."
When Ning Qiushui heard this, his pupils suddenly tightened!
A diary appeared in his mind.
"Is it the owner of that diary...Xue Zhao?!"
Li Yue nodded slightly.
"Yes."
"At the end of the Sunflower Welfare Home massacre, the 'Water Man' possessed Xue Zhao and followed him out of the welfare home."
Hearing this, a flash of lightning flashed across Ning Qiushui's mind.
"It's... a prison visit."
"...This is how Cai Quan was possessed."
In Xue Zhao's diary, he wrote that he would visit Uncle Cai Quan in prison in the next year. Cai Quan was not possessed by the "Water Man" originally, but he suddenly became possessed by "Water Man" after meeting Xue Zhao. Suddenly, I realized that the incident with the "Water Man" in the orphanage was not over yet!
He violated his own conscience and committed such a horrific killing. They gave everything they had, but in the end... they still lost.
They failed to protect themselves and the children in the orphanage.
At that moment, Cai Quan must have been hit in his heart like never before.
The bloody reality and the guilt that tortured him for a long time completely shattered Cai Quan's inner will.
In this way, the "water man" successfully possessed Cai Quan from Xue Zhao's body.
After thinking about all this, a faint flame appeared in Ning Qiushui's chest.
Obviously no one in the orphanage had offended "Rashomon" and "Water Man", but in the end they were killed like this. They couldn't even rest in peace after death. Even if outsiders looked at them, they could not help but feel sorry for them.
"The only way to completely solve the problem in the orphanage is to find the 'stone key' and close the 'stone door' at the bottom of the well!"
Li Yue spoke firmly.
"And you... are the only one who can enter and exit that stone door normally!"
"It is precisely because of your appearance that I choose not to hide anymore and come here to help you!"
Although Li Yue's tone was serious, Ning Qiushui still found it ridiculous.
"why me?"
Li Yue shook his head.
"I don't know, it was the 'me' in the dream who told me."
"how about you?"
"I can't go in...but 'she' will pick you up behind the stone door."
PS: There is another update, which will be posted tonight. I wish you all a Merry Christmas!
