Jiang Xian nodded slightly. The bodyguard had already handed over a towel and hot coffee, and another bodyguard brought Song Chunyu, who was in a state of shock. Song Yunshen frowned slightly, but did not say anything to Song Chunyu. The group fell silent.
While everyone was organizing their language, Jiang Xian was organizing his thoughts. He suddenly realized that he was not within the system and had not considered the power of the system comprehensively enough.
Yes... A company like Shenzhou has such a strong background that they can find out even if a name is wrong. How could they not find out even if someone is dead?
As if he understood Jiang Xian's thoughts, Song Yunshen lit a cigarette and said slowly: "Originally, if there was no abnormality in No. 003, I would have asked you to explore No. 003 area in the future. But this time it happened to be the right time, so it saved me some effort."
"The changes in Area 003 started six months ago. The first symptom was lethargy, then an increase in appetite, and finally... it turned into this indescribable monster."
He changed into a comfortable position and crossed his legs. "I don't know how many living people are there here. From the information I have, they like darkness and don't like sunlight. And they are different from humans..."
He tapped his temple. "The brain and motor nerves are integrated. Under certain conditions, the killing power is amazing. So I specially arranged a power outage tonight, and all the buttons of your camouflage uniforms are equipped with listening devices. But I didn't expect that the second team would be wiped out."
He sighed and raised his chin towards a bodyguard: "Old rules. 800,000 per person, contact the family."
"Understood." The bodyguard nodded immediately.
Jiang Xian didn't say anything. This kind of weird thing...he seemed to have heard of it before.
But... if he remembered correctly, this kind of thing... should exist and be recorded in Dongfang Shuo's "Answering the Guest's Questions". How could a mythical existence appear in the living world?
"Do you find it incredible? Or did you think of something?" Song Yunshen nodded, and the man behind him immediately took out a thumb-sized glass bottle and handed it to Jiang Xian. He only took one look at it, and his heart couldn't help but beat wildly.
In the glass bottle, there is an insect the size of a little finger. It should be a corpse.
Its wings were golden, and its body looked like a beetle. The only difference was that on its back, there was a human face. It looked extremely strange.
It really is it... Jiang Xian took a deep breath and said in disbelief: "This is the legendary golden-faced ghost. Legend has it that it can live for a hundred years. If it never finds a host, it will remain in egg form. Once it finds one, it will enter the host's pores with an imperceptible touch and lodge inside. It will hatch within a month and eat up all the host's flesh and blood... That's right..."
He tapped his forehead lightly. What he saw just now was only human skin, no flesh and blood!
Those mists are the fog formed by countless golden-faced ghosts breaking through their skins and flying out!
"It actually exists..." He stroked the glass bottle with great emotion, as if... as if ever since he got the fruit core, the things he encountered were increasingly beyond common sense.
After a few seconds, he took a deep breath and said solemnly: "There is a grass witch attacking us."
"Grass witch?"
"Poisoners!" Jiang Xian looked outside the tent with a solemn expression. It was pitch black there, and the lights of the entire Zhangcun town were drowned in the storm. "The golden-faced ghost is a type of poisonous insect . The operator of the poisonous insect is called the grass ghost woman - because the golden-faced ghost eggs can only live in the abdomen of women. They must be the ones who did it!"
Song Yunshen asked: "Why did they take action?"
Jiang Xian pursed his lips and said in a concentrated voice: "003 may be hiding a shocking secret. And they are the guardians of 003. This guardian group has not broken off its inheritance, and they are very dangerous."
He looked up suddenly: "Oh, right, the professor just said: Five Stars, the Five Stars are coming. This may be the clue to the Grass Ghost Lady."
Song Yunshen asked in a deep voice: "How do we find them?"
Finding them is equivalent to unveiling one corner of 003!
The thing that could make the Grass Witch willing to kill people to hide it - and they haven't even started exploring yet, the thing hidden here... must be very simple!
Jiang Xian thought for a moment and said, "According to the records in Volume 6 of the Yongsui Hall Chronicles, a true Gu Po has eyes like cinnabar, and red, green, blue, and yellow stripes on her belly and arms. There are no spider webs or ant holes in her home, and the woman places a basin of water in the middle of the main room every day, and spits out the Gu worms she has released into the basin when no one is around. She can perform rituals in the mountains, or place bamboo poles in the clouds to make dragons dance, or place cloaks in the sky to make birds fly. After all true Gu Posses are killed, their bellies will be cut open to reveal Gu worms."
He looked at Song Yunshen: "Mr. Song, please."
Song Yunshen was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized that if he wanted to find this person, instead of looking for him himself, it would be better to ask the government for help!
This is 2016. As long as they want to live, they can't avoid applying for ID cards. As long as the township government investigates, they will definitely find clues! If not, then the township government will go door to door to find them under the pretext of a national census! I can still afford the compensation I give them when the time comes.
"Rest first." He breathed a sigh of relief: "Tomorrow afternoon, we will go to the township government together. Don't let them know what happened here for now."
…………………………
No one slept well that night. It was not until dawn that everyone fell into a deep sleep. After getting up and eating lunch, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.
When entering the main tent, Song Yunshen's personal doctor was giving the professor an injection. Song Yunshen was sipping coffee beside him. Seeing Jiang Xian coming in, he casually said, "This is a drug that can refresh him. It can make him reach the peak of his spirit. The side effect is that he will be very sleepy for the next few hours, but... he can stay absolutely awake for half an hour."
The professor stared at the ceiling in a trance, like a corpse, and let someone hold his hand. After more than ten minutes, there was finally a light in his eyes. He looked at Song Yunshen with difficulty: "Boss Song, you have worked hard over the years."
"I also have something to ask for." Song Yunshen smiled bitterly and said, "If Professor Ma can remember what five stars are, how can I be considered to have worked so hard?"
Professor Ma stood up panting. Song Chunyu tried to help him but was pushed away. He walked to the front of the tent, opened the curtain and looked outside.
Jiang Xian noticed that when he opened the curtain, Professor Ma's body was trembling slightly - he knew that Song Yunshen asked them to return to their hometown. This place brought him too much fear. He witnessed his teammates die one by one, and in the end he didn't know how he came back. This place... is his Silent Hill.
"So much has changed." He finally said quietly , and walked out slowly with the help of others. He got into the car first.
The car started slowly, and Jiang Xian had been silently watching Professor Ma. The other party did not speak all the way, and his eyes were filled with nostalgia, regret, but more of fear. It was a reverence that went deep into the soul and could not be erased by time. He swept his eyes from house to house, and only shook his head after driving through the entire town.
"You haven't been here for decades, right? Mr. Ma." Song Yunshen raised his chin, and Song Chunyu drove the car to the township government. There was a village below the town, but it was not too far away. While driving, Jiang Xian chatted with Professor Ma casually.
Professor Ma shook his head and said hoarsely, "I don't dare to come... I can't remember what happened that year... The only thing I can remember is the five stars... and, and... Black."
"It's pitch black... You can't see your hand in front of you... There are monsters everywhere in the darkness! Those monsters... Those monsters!!"
His voice suddenly rose, Jiang Xian and Song Yunshen next to him immediately helped him calm down. Professor Ma lowered his head, breathing rapidly and gasping for air. After more than ten minutes, he finally recovered.
He sat up straight, pushed the two away, smiled bitterly and shook his head. Just as he was about to speak, his eyes suddenly widened, his hand slightly raised, and pointed forward tremblingly.
The town is not very big, nor is it particularly developed. Often you can see people walking on the road with cows and geese. At this time, not far in front of the jeep, a girl was walking by with cows.
She was wearing colorful clothes and a gorgeously decorated hat with various patterns embroidered on it. The hat was decorated with strings of pearls, and it was obvious that she was from a minority. Professor Ma was pointing at her, and then he suddenly shook all over and let out a scream!
"Ah ...
"Professor Ma?" Jiang Xian hugged the other person and looked at the woman in front of him in surprise. The other person also looked at them in confusion. He could not see anything strange about this woman.
Suddenly, his sleeve was grabbed tightly. Professor Ma raised his tearful face with unspeakable fear on his face, and said in a trembling voice: "Five stars..."
"Five stars... I, I remember!"
"Five Stars...are human! Five Stars are human!"
people?
Everyone was stunned for a few seconds, and Song Yunshen suddenly came to his senses and looked at the girl: "Stop her!"
"No need." Li Mudong and Song Chunyu were about to jump down almost instinctively. At this moment, Jiang Xian spoke in a deep voice.
Everyone looked over. The jeep was an open top, and their movements were too obvious. The girl screamed and ran away quickly with the cow. Jiang Xian then retracted his gaze: "The person Professor Ma was talking about... is not this girl. She is not a grass ghost woman either. Grass ghost women will not show up casually."
Song Yunshen frowned: "Then why did you react only when you saw her? We have seen so many people before."
"Good question." Jiang Xian seemed to be recalling something, his slender arms resting on the car, his fingers tapping the door gently: "What do you think of the people we saw just now?"
what kind of person?
Li Mudong was a little confused: "Woman? Girl? Local native?"
"It's a minority ethnic group." Song Yunshen reacted the fastest. He looked at Jiang Xian suddenly and said, "It's a minority ethnic group, right?"
