Ming Chenyan stopped in front of the tombstone closest to him and shined his flashlight on it.
The inscription on the tombstone is: "The tomb of loving father Lu Dawei was born on March 12, 1948 and died on May 2, 2014."
"Lu Dawei!" Ming Chenyan's heart immediately tightened when he saw this name, "The villager who died not long after the appearance of the third volume of "Black Ghost"!"
"But the time of death doesn't match up." Kuang Wenxuan quickly took out his mobile phone and opened the reading software. His software can perform keyword searches. After searching for Lu Dawei, according to the description of the novel, he was not sure of the specific date of his death, but he died.
The year is definitely 2019.
"Maybe..." Dong Ning made a hypothesis: "Lu Dawei in the book may be a dead person for the first time."
Hearing Dong Ning's words, Gao Yiyu's face immediately turned pale.
"It is possible." Ming Chenyan did not deny Dong Ning's words: "But now it seems that the novel "Black Ghost" is more and more closely related to reality. Is it the curse that makes the novel become reality, or is the deep sea originally based on reality?
How about using characters as prototypes for creation?”
No one knows this.
"Search the nearby tombstones again. If there are no new clues, go to the nearby Gaopo first to look for the Fukami family's mansion."
According to Konoha's Golden Flash, Fukami's mansion is located on a high slope, just like the Yuan family's haunted house. Fukami and his wife should live there. As long as you contact them, it is possible to obtain the manuscript.
"Wait a minute!" At this time, Gao Yiyu put forward a different opinion, "It's not even 10 o'clock when the Scarlet Mission starts, and we've already entered. Let's go and get the manuscript of "Black Ghost" now.
Wouldn’t it be too dangerous?”
"Yes!" Kuang Wenxuan also expressed a different opinion: "Before the Scarlet Mission begins, there is no guarantee that the apartment will impose sufficient restrictions on the evil spirits, right?"
Ming Chenyan didn't know that this was pulling chestnuts from the fire, but he still insisted on his opinion: "Mr. Qin and I have long discussed various details that may be faced in this mission. There are likely to be many twists and turns in obtaining the archived manuscript. Because
Just in case, we still have to make as much time as possible. Of course, we can only view the archived manuscripts within the mission limit."
Dong Xie had also thought of many ways before, hoping to obtain the manuscripts in advance. Ming Chenyan even hacked into the backend of Singularity.com writers to steal manuscripts, but his hacking skills were too poor and he could not break through the firewall at all. According to Dong Xie's editor-in-chief
He said that even Shen Hai himself did not have a fixed WeChat ID, and he would soon change his WeChat account and contact his editor again. Even the editor often could not find Shen Hai, let alone his address.
Some of these names are indeed supporting characters in "Black Ghost", but some names have never been heard of before.
"Moreover, none of the deaths match up."
This point is what worries Dong Ning the most. This situation makes her think that it may be a clue to a way out. Either the people on these tombstones will still appear after death, as she guessed, or the deep sea
I wrote it that way intentionally.
Dong Ning took photos of all the tombstones one by one, which may become important clues. Of course, maybe these photos will turn into supernatural photos after a while.
After roughly scanning the tombstones on both sides, Dong Ning finally determined that none of the death dates matched. This was also thanks to her strong memory. The death dates were all earlier than the novel. However, most of the names
They are all unfamiliar, and only a few names appear in the novel.
At this time, they began to approach the farmhouse in front of them. It was an extremely low building with walls made of bricks and tiles. It was covered with cracks and the bricks were exposed everywhere. It was obviously in disrepair.
Ming Chenyan looked inside from the window, and it seemed to be pitch black.
If the plot of the novel is the same as reality, then there are now less than ten living people left in this village, and all of them, including the male protagonist Yuan Ming and the female protagonist Chen Lan, are listed as suspects of the black shadow.
.
Ming Chenyan raised his hand and knocked on the door.
Then, he took a big step back and waited with bated breath.
Dong Ning, on the other hand, kept scanning the surroundings with her eyes, always paying attention to any signs of trouble.
Gao Yiyu was so frightened that almost his whole body was wrapped around Kuang Wenxuan, trembling with fear.
Dozens of seconds passed, but the door still didn't open.
"Let's go...find the next one." Ming Chenyan didn't want to waste even one more second. Since there isn't one here, it would be best to find the next one. It would be best to have a villager to lead them to the deep sea. It's just that
, after Ming Chenyan heard Dong Xie explain the specific situation, he, like Qin Ziyuan, strongly suspected that Shenhai and his wife might have both encountered something unexpected.
When everyone turned around and walked towards another room, Dong Ning turned back and looked at the door of that room.
Her intuition told herself that this room... was definitely not empty!
But what exactly is inside is very difficult to say.
Bai Ye noticed her eyes and said, "What are you looking at? Dong Ning?"
Dong Ning shook her head and said, "No, it's nothing."
After all, the Scarlet Letter mission has just begun, and it is still keeping a low profile. As Kuang Wenxuan said, it is not certain whether the apartment will fully protect the residents before the Scarlet Letter mission begins.
After all of them had gone away, suddenly, the door made a slight "creep" sound, and with that sound, the door was slowly pushed open!
At this time, Ming Chenyan and others came to another house and knocked on the door as before, but also found nothing. No one opened the door.
Could it be that the village is really deserted?
At this time, this idea came to the minds of the five residents at the same time. And if this place has really become an uninhabited village, it would be really creepy!
"Forget it! Just go up to the high slope over there and take a look!"
After all, Ming Chenyan was the one following Qin Ziyuan, and his expression remained unchanged: "In the current situation, efficiency is the first priority. Maybe there is really no one in the village. Let's go up the slope to have a look first!"
Dong Ning also knows what Ming Chenyan is thinking. Even if Lanyue Village is not a dead village, it must be a dangerous place. If you continue to knock on the door in each house, the probability of an evil spirit coming to open the door is far higher than that of a living person.
The probability of opening the door is much higher. At present, their first consideration is to obtain the archived manuscript as soon as possible. This is the first priority, and everything else can be put on hold for the time being. It is probably Qin Ziyuan who took care of him.
At this moment, Ming Chenyan was actually the most nervous person. He hesitated for a long time about whether to search for the manuscript before the official start of "Blood Letter". He and Qin Ziyuan even chatted all night. However, everyone knew that if it could not be completed,
In this scarlet mission, the shadow curse is more terrifying than the evil spirit itself. After all, the shadow curse represents the apartment. If the apartment wants you to die at the third watch, you will never survive until the fifth watch.
"Getting the archive is the first priority. Obviously the apartment used all means to prevent us from finding the archive before the Scarlet Mission, so I thought we had to go that night. No matter how dangerous it is, the apartment is not as dangerous as us.
Curse in the Shadow."
When Qin Ziyuan said this, he pointed at the shadows they cast on the wall, making Ming Chenyan fully realize this.
This shadow always reminds every resident that they are slaves without freedom in front of the apartment, just like the gladiators in the Colosseum in ancient Rome. The evil spirits are like the beasts in the Colosseum! And they are more terrifying than the beasts.
The ones who opened the Colosseum were the Roman nobles!
"What we have to do is to break through this Colosseum like Spartacus!"
Qin Ziyuan's words still echoed in Ming Chenyan's ears. Gladiator, this is really a very appropriate metaphor.
A group of five people began to slowly approach the high slope in front of them. It was obvious that this high slope was still within the scope of Lanyue Village.
Under the moonlight, they could see that there was indeed a mansion sitting there on the high slope!
If nothing else, this mansion should be Deep Sea’s home.
