Chapter 44: . Plague Village (7)

The next day, before awakening naturally, the shabby wooden door squeaked tremblingly and opened.
Yuanrong awakened and stood up quickly. The dark guy grinned and touched his head, embarrassed: "You haven't gotten up, bother you."
Yuan Rong breathed a sigh of relief, half joking with complaint: "Sneak into a private house."
Gredawa blushed a little: "I'm not afraid of something."
"How," Yuan Rong was still a home wear, not talking about changing clothes, putting on slippers and standing up and going out. "No problem."
Gredawa smiled bitterly: "No. But it's not good to say, no one is terrible if something goes wrong."
Wolves will never attack people. Christmas Eve means a high probability means that the human wolf camp is spreading, and the victory of the human camp may be even smaller-always one step behind.
Yuan Rong suddenly remembered something, and carefully recalled everyone's clothing. Russian uncle in cashmere sweater and shirt, Gredava in sportswear, Han Zhixi in leather, Zeng Wo in cotton and linen dresses, Liu Shunmei in down jackets, Xu Lu in Nike jackets, Fang Xiaotian in straight men's jackets, Fang Xiaotian in jackets, and Su in science and technology women's jackets can.
The four people wore different seasons.
In front of the "Black Shadow" who used concealed props to barely fight in the first volume, he didn't feel that the abilities could get light. In the last game, Matsuyama Tatsuji looked strong and did not escape death. Then there are props, but Yuan Rong does not think that such props can be easily obtained.
In front of the well, everyone began to list the suspicious places, thinking about the direction of customs clearance.
First, this well is so dirty that it obviously cannot be used as a water source.
This well is the simplest brick well in the countryside. It has a clear sense of age, revealing dark red and crisp bricks under the cement, which are seriously corroded by moisture. The wooden beam of the hoisting rope above was broken, leaving only the poles at both ends.
Looking inwards, algae were densely covered with algae in the dark paint well, and a small piece of water was piled up thickly, and a small piece of water surface was also muddy, which seemed to be unused for many years.
Han Zhixi's eyes were sharp, and he saw something covered by the swollen algae on the surface of the water. Upon closer inspection, it was a wooden barrel.
Other than that, there seems to be nothing strange.
I felt the composition of the water elements in the well without any special feeling, that is, there were too many impurities, and Quan Dang was polluted for a long time, and I didn't care about it.
Second, the tenth wooden house.
According to everyone's description, everyone went to the tenth wooden house in the last game survey. The results are similar: it is the only place in an ordinary village where you can cook. The probability is that the cafeteria.
But in line with the principle of not letting go of a clue, the crowd once again entered the tenth wooden house to investigate.
Originally inadvertently walking to the firewood pile, the original contents turned over the rusty cauldron under the firewood pile.
Gredawa came together curiously: "Is there something underneath? I didn't find it last time."
The original appearance was a bit gloomy. He put down the cauldron and studied it for the black guy. He glanced at the dark wooden house surrounded by musty smell and said softly: "I want to correct my point of view: This test is not to continue a round, but to cycle again. Once again."
As soon as this remark came out, the people who turned around and couldn't let go of the foot looked over. Yuan Rong explained: "Last time I investigated the canteen, someone found the pot by turning over the firewood pile. But when I came in, I noticed The firewood pile had no traces of movement, and once turned, the pot was still below-this means that the current village is restored-the village where everything has begun, not the village after the last time."
"You mean, time is circulating?" Han Zhixi reacted quickly, copying the farm tools piled in the corner of her hand. "It's true, you said that I remembered that the farm tools were messed up last time we investigated, and here No."
Xueba female frowned: "A village where time is stagnant? Does it mean anything?"
Everyone looked at each other.
The middle-aged woman opened her mouth: "Is it something to save, or is it only something that happened during this period of time that makes sense? When I was a child, I watched some ghost stories, and the monster sealed up a place to commemorate the feelings of the dead object. stand up."
"It can only happen during this period of time?" Zeng Qilihua muttered, "Can you break this period of time when you think about this change?"
"Changing the history will break the time of storage," Yuan Rong concluded, "I don't know if you have ever heard of the "river theory", and compare time to a flowing river, and the upstream water flows from the river to the downstream. Changes in running water will not affect upstream; while changes in upstream water will affect downstream."
Han Zhixi instantly understood: "Making changes to the wrong things only changed the inferiority of'now'; finding the key point is to change the inferiority, thereby breaking the blocked time period!"
The crowd suddenly realized, but then they were startled: What is this matter?
Zeng Qilihua took out a small book with dolphins on its cover from her pocket. It seems that it is her habit to carry a notepad with her.
She murmured something in her mouth, and then said, "There is currently an event that can be called an event, there is a day-time'exile', a night wolf's'killing' or'infection'. And everyone on the scene I have been a wolf once, and after deciding who to kill at night, an unidentified'black shadow' will come down from the sky to help us. Among them, the black shadow has been played, infected as a wolf, but it will die, this is me All the events I can think of."
Those who stood here experienced all these things, but they failed and stood here.
Third, the forest.
The only place where the village connects with the outside world seems to be the footpath. In the last game, everyone thought that the village was just a background for forcing people to test. It was irrelevant to the task, and the trail was muddy and difficult to walk. No one stepped out.
According to the original content, combined with the brief introduction to the identities in the mission information, the source of food in the village is hunting, and the leader, the old hunter, estimates that this way is the way to the hunting ground.
Uncle Ivan puzzled: "The pharmacist? Didn't see the infirmary-like room."
Liu Shunmei said: "In such a small broken village, what kind of infirmary do you want? Everyone in our village is a barefoot doctor. Call him whoever is sick. Go to a big hospital in the county if you have a serious illness. Dare to use him."
It is true that in the agricultural areas where Nodong nodded and the traffic is not well developed, there are some people who understand medicine to treat cold-like illnesses; and some are more backward and closed, even superstitious remedies, wizards, and people who pretend to be ghosts as doctors are more comparable. Harmful. Judging from the identity information, this pharmacist still has two brushes, at least to save an infected person.
Wait, infection?
A trace of inspiration flashed through the original look. Infected with adult wolves... is it really a plague?
Having experienced the SE-3 virus world twice, Yuanrong has seen the power of real virus infection. However, after he was turned into a wolf last time, he didn't feel any changes in his body and spirit than before. It was just that the artificial faction of the "camp" was forced to change.
He depressed this thought indefinitely, without speaking.
Everyone discussed it and agreed that it must be investigated where the trail leads.
In the cold and rainy weather with no sun, the accumulated water is difficult to dry, and the dirt road is occupied by deep and shallow muddy puddles, making it difficult to get down.
Yuan Rong was very curious about what the villagers usually eat.
From the tenth wooden house, the firewood is booming, and there is no food left. The cooking pot is thrown into the corner. Is it all hunting? But in this weather, you can't get out.
The original appearance of the home costume has exposed the identity of the godhead, and it is not hidden. In the eyes of everyone or shocked or scrutinized, a water dragon is condensed and the people are seated. The water in the air is extremely high. The water dragon with the thickest manhole cover in the past now has old trunks thick. The turbulent flow of water emits a thunderous sound of water waves, and a scream rises into the sky.
As many as ten meters above the ground, all the people overlooked the distant scenery-the path stretched out about fifty meters, and there was a temple at the end!
Xu Shi calmed like Han Zhixi, and couldn't help but open his mouth in surprise: "How come there is this?"
As the water dragon flew closer, the appearance of the temple gradually became clear from the diffuse white mist, which made the people with mixed feelings even more indescribable shock-too strange.
On the top of an ancient Chinese-style temple, a porcelain sculpture squatting about whether it is a wolf or a dog is squatted. The colored glaze is corroded and peeled off, exposing the cheap and inferior mud embryos below. The strange thing about it is its orientation.
Yuan Rong didn't understand feng shui and other doctrines, but buildings like temples must have a shady background!
The water dragon stopped slowly on the damp grass in front of the temple, and everyone walked down without words.
Standing on the ground, the temple is about five meters high, the wall is dark red, and most of it is peeled off. Under the gloomy sky, it looks strange and dead. The temple door guards two sculptures from left to right, but it is not a traditional stone lion, but a painted pottery "wolf dog" smaller than the temple roof. The shabby plaque on the door bar was written with three large characters in gold paint, but unfortunately the gold paint peeled off too badly to recognize what it was.
Faced with such a evil gate temple, no one came forward.
Liu Shunmei kept meditating on Amitabha since she landed on the ground. Her mind was extremely uncertain. Her daughter seemed extremely disgusted with such superstition. She rolled her eyes and prevented her face from happening.
Uncle Ivan was shocked by the evil architecture, murmuring meaningless words. As two international students, Han Zhixi and Zeng Me intuitively felt that the temple was not right, but could not tell why. Gredawa was a little excited. He seemed to like the style of ancient Chinese architecture. He had already observed three times around the temple.
In contrast, the most normal response is for graduate men and women. Yuan Rong noticed this and said indifferently: "This temple looks really evil...how can it be so dark?"
The female graduate student said: "Sitting south and facing north, there is still water in the north. What are the people who built this temple thinking about?"
Seeing Yuanrong looking at her in surprise, Su Ke, a female graduate student, explained that she was the research direction of Feng Shui, and sitting south to north, not just temples, was a big taboo in the building; plus the backwaters of the northern village facing the middle The well is so broken that it can't be shaded anymore, let alone the temple, the house doesn't dare to build like this.
Yuan Rong thought about it: "So, how does this bad feng shui affect the temple?"
Su Ke thought about it: "I haven't seen this kind of feng shui, I can only push it now. But apart from Yin, there are no other shortcomings.... The monks in the temple are easy to get sick, that's all."
After hearing the discussion between the two, the crowd had gathered around, and after being shocked, they still had to return to the topic.
Han Zhixi frowned: "That's not so bad?"
Su Ke couldn't tell more. She looked down the temple. The sky was a little late, and the cold white mist grew bigger and bigger, and she could no longer see the forest outline.
The original content suggested: "Evil gates return to evil gates, you must go in and see to know more."
Greedawa volunteered to fight first, the temple door was blocked with a crossbar, the crossbar was lifted, and the worn wooden door opened. In the next second, the musty smell and the almost condensed air rushed to the face. This temple was like a refrigerator, colder than outside!
Everyone adapted to the darkness before they could see clearly the inner structure.
The temple is not very large, about 20 square meters, and the structure is simple. In the middle is a huge colorful sculpture to the ceiling. The glaze peels off a lot, but it can be seen that it is a wolf-like dog like the sculpture on the top of the temple and the door. animal.
It wore an ancient and complicated robe, with its pointed, long mouth slightly open, and the animal hair portrayed as rough and messy, as if to create its majestic and terrible image, it glared at its eyes, its claws were sharp, like the next The second is about to pounce.
Under its huge and depressing envelope, there is a low table for enlightenment, and creepy, the incense burner on that low table is actually inserted with three lit incense!
At first, Yuan Rong thought that he had made a mistake, but when he looked closely, the three extremely long incense tops Mars appeared!
This weird scene made people perspiration climb to the back, bold as Grea Dawa, could not bear the voice trembling: "What kind of fragrance, can it be extinguished in this case?"
Even though the environment was cold and humid, the incense was burning lightly. Looking closely, the small smoke rose slowly and disappeared into the air instantly, leaving no trace.
But... who ordered it here?
The atmosphere subsided, everyone looked at each other, no one spoke.
Greedawa saw that suspicion was born, and Shen Sheng said: "It's not ours. We all saw that there is only one road leading to this, and if you walk through the path, the trousers and shoes will definitely get muddy. "
Everyone subconsciously looked at each other. Although they were a little muddy, they were all clean.
But Xu Lu choked: "Who said? Maybe this man came by water, can you guarantee it?"
As soon as this remark came out, he turned his eyes to Yuanrong, and he said indifferently, "I can't prove that I didn't do it. But if it's me, I'll bring you over? Will you catch me?"
Xu Lu stopped talking, and the middle-aged woman saw her daughter falling down, and quickly echoed: "There must be others! You can fly, and others can fly, how can you explain this fragrance?"
Yes, although she is sophistry, but it is not unreasonable, how to explain this fragrance? Or can it fail?
Greedawa couldn't say anything, and smiled at the embarrassed Chong Yuan.
At this moment, standing behind the crowd, Su Ke, who had been meditating for a while, suddenly surprised: "I know!"
In the sight of unknown people, she spoke very fast, because she was exposed to professional knowledge: "It is estimated that the surrounding is so humid and cold. It is because of this temple! The temple is different from ordinary buildings. It worships a and is somewhat contaminated with aura. This It is a supernatural world, and there are many things that cannot be explained. I will call this evil "Wolf God" first. "Wolf God" received worship, blessed the village, and assimilated the village environment into a sullen environment."
Everyone was still confused, Su Ke quickly said: "The water well was originally estimated to be living water. After the temple was built, this pattern of yin and qi gathered became the dead water. The yin of the dead water was more prosperous, causing plague, or monsters. Hurt the village."
Han Zhixi digested her speculation, and then frowned: "Although what you said is not unreasonable, but why is there something wrong with the evil in the village, is there any other use for this evil besides harming people? Obviously unreasonable."
Greta said: "Maybe they don't know that this is an evil spirit?"
Su Ke's embarrassed opening: "I'm afraid I know. The temple of the deity... at least don't sit in a south-to-north orientation."
"Your country is really too much about it!" Uncle Ivan heard a bit confused. "What fengshui's direction is important? Isn't the humidity because of the climate zone? For example, some basins in China?"
Su Ke's mouth twitched a few times, but he could not refute. Both metaphysics and science can explain something, but the starting point and the result are obviously different. Everyone stayed in the village, and naturally they could not see the basin.
There were several investigations in the temple and no other clues. The strangely burning incense burned at a very slow rate. When night came, Han Zhixi demanded to go back quickly, otherwise he would not be able to catch the exile before midnight.
There was always a weird feeling haunting the original appearance, but he couldn't tell why. Before leaving, Yuan Rong saw no one paying attention and gently picked up the small incense burner.
The small incense burner is a copper product, and the surface is covered with patina, so when you take it, the original face is covered with rust. The surface relief is like a roaring wolf face, very rough. The incense ash in the incense burner is already one-third, and judging from the burning speed of incense, it can't be burned in ten days and a half months.
Can't see why this happened, Yuan Rong had to give up, put the small incense burner back to the case, lowered his head, and found abrupt.
