Simulation of all things: Copper skin and iron bones at the beginning

Wei An listened to every word, as if he was listening to folk tales.

But the next words of a middle-aged uncle caught his attention.

"Those people all disappeared at night. The strange thing is that at night, fog begins to form in Datong Town. It is a very cold fog. People walk in the fog and it disappears as they walk."

"Mist..."

Wei An frowned slightly, turned his head and asked, "Uncle, what you said is true. Have you ever seen that kind of fog?"

The middle-aged uncle slapped his thigh and said, "I'm not bragging, I've really seen it.

The night before yesterday, I happened to pass by Datong Town. When I entered Datong Town from the outside, I saw that there was no fog from a distance, but the further I walked into the town, the thicker the fog became. But when I walked out of the town, there was no fog outside. Do you think it's evil? "

Wei An could tell that the middle-aged uncle was not lying.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation!

After finishing his morning drink, Wei An decided to go to Datong Town to take a look. For no other reason than the word "fog" aroused his alertness.

call!

The ninety-six miles away came in a blink of an eye.

Datong Town is actually not very big, with a population of only seven or eight thousand. The place is not wealthy, and there is not even a decent mansion in the whole town.

Wei An entered the town and walked on a dirt road full of potholes. The surrounding houses were in disorder and overgrown with weeds.

As they were walking, a group of sheep rushed out from the corner, bleating, followed by an old sheepherder in ragged clothes. He smoked a cigarette and puffed away mist as he walked, leaving sheep dung on the ground wherever he passed.

At this moment, it was three poles in the sun.

"It's so deserted. Is there anyone in this town?"

Wei An had already walked through most of the street. Except for a few old people sitting at the door and sunbathing, he didn't see any young adults or children.

Not long after, Wei An discovered a small restaurant with a closed sign on the door. Inside, an aunt was cleaning the dust with a feather duster.

"Auntie, the young monk is polite."

Wei An stepped forward, raised one palm and gave a salute.

The aunt stuck her head out, looked Wei An up and down, rolled her eyes immediately, put her hands on her hips, and said angrily: "Where did you come from, a wild monk? Didn't you see that my restaurant is about to go bankrupt? Let's go, don't go there." I can hardly support myself with this alms."

Wei An laughed and said, "Auntie, don't panic, I'm not here to beg for alms."

After hearing this, the aunt's expression softened and she asked, "Then what are you doing here?"

Wei An asked: "The young monk happened to pass by Datong Town, but found that there were almost no people in the town and it was deserted. Why is this?"

The aunt suddenly understood and replied: "Well, you don't know, our Datong town has been hit by evil spirits, people have disappeared one after another in the town, and every living person has disappeared without a trace.

No, some people said that the missing people might have gone into the mountains to look for treasure, got lost, and couldn't get out, so everyone ran into the mountains to look for them. "

Wei An understood and said with a smile: "The young monk is proficient in some martial arts and may be able to help. Can you start from the beginning and explain it in detail?"

"Okay, I'll be idle anyway."

The aunt nodded and sat down, "About nine or ten days ago, there was a butcher selling pork in the east end of the town. Five of the seven members of the family suddenly lost their lives, leaving only one old and one young.

The family rarely left the town, and they did not go to visit relatives on the day of the accident. The five people were still sleeping at home before dark, but on the next day, they disappeared inexplicably.

Two days later, the butcher, an old man and a young man, and the neighbor's family of four, all six people disappeared!

These six people were even more evil. They must have been having dinner when they disappeared. They had just finished a third of the food on the table, and then they suddenly got up and left, and they went to nowhere. "

Wei An interrupted: "Are there any signs of fighting at the scene?"

"No."

The aunt waved her hand, "The people from the Yamen have carefully inspected the scene. There is not a drop of blood or any trace of damage. Everything is in good condition, even valuable belongings."

Wei An listened carefully, thoughtfully.

"Eleven people from two families were missing at once. People in the town were a little panicked, but what happened after that was even more sinister and terrifying."

The aunt's face was solemn, and she raised her hand, sometimes pointing to the south, and sometimes pointing to the west and north. "In the past few days, people disappeared every day. The missing people were all over the town. They were all in the same situation. People were still at home during the day. , suddenly disappeared at night.

Alas, the people in the town were almost frightened to death and dared not sleep at night. Now everyone is exhausted physically and mentally, panicked, and can no longer do business. "

Wei An understood and pondered: "Well, everyone suddenly disappeared at night, and there was no movement. Oh, by the way, was it foggy at night?"

"Foggy?"

The aunt thought for a while, then suddenly slapped her thigh and nodded: "Hey, it's true! I didn't pay attention to this if you didn't tell me. These days, the fog starts as soon as it gets dark, and the fog is pretty heavy."

Wei An pondered for a moment and asked his aunt for the specific addresses of the missing people. Then he turned around and quickly arrived at the east end of the town.

A dirty pork shop came into view.

The door was ajar, and Wei An walked straight in.

The butcher's house is quite big. In the front yard is a shop for killing pigs and selling meat. All seven members of the family live in the backyard. There is a well and a shady old locust tree in the yard.

At first glance, they look like ordinary people.

Wei An turned around and found nothing unusual. After that, he simply opened the transparent world and observed carefully. He looked at the houses, trees, wells, and underground several times.

Still, nothing.

Then, Wei An went to the neighbor's house next door, and immediately saw the dining table that the aunt mentioned. It was well preserved and no one had touched it. In front of the table, there were four long benches and two small benches, and the number of bowls and chopsticks. No more and no less for six people.

The food on the table had long since rotted and grown mold, but it was not difficult to imagine six people sitting around the table eating. Before the meal was finished, something suddenly happened, and then all six people disappeared.

Wei An turned around and left, going to several other houses to check one by one.

The result was nothing!

"Interesting, I can't find any clues."

Wei An frowned slightly, his mind was churning, and after thinking about it, he listed three possible scenarios.

Possibility 1: All the missing people left on their own;

Possibility two: A master appears and kidnaps them;

Possibility three: non-man-made disaster.

Based on this, he adopted the elimination method and analyzed them one by one.

First, running away from home is often a small number of individual behaviors. Under normal circumstances, a person will not leave his home without any reason, let alone abandon his family at will;

Secondly, it may be that some evil master comes out to hunt down mortals to practice evil skills. But it stands to reason that evil people are often more interested in young people or children, and will not even capture the elderly and infirm.
