One Piece: BABY5's Love in the World

Damn it! How could there be such a spooky name? "One person asked with a sigh of relief. w

Seeing this, these people who were frightened and ran back didn't say anything. After all, I, a big man, was frightened and ran back one by one, and I was too embarrassed to talk about such embarrassing things.

So each of them went back to their respective camps with a lingering sense of fear and a little bit of boredom.

Here, while the new recruits were making noise, the Chinese army camp was discussing the next itinerary.

"After setting off early tomorrow morning and climbing over Changshan to join the 10,000 recruits, our next stop will be to Tangzhou. The recruits in Tangzhou have been mainly concentrated in three places, with about 12,000 people."

Dou Zhan slowly talked about the situation of the Tangzhou recruits, and then looked at Ji Yue.

"Because there are many lakes in Tangzhou, almost everyone there knows how to swim, which means that if you make good use of them, you can form a navy army of more than 10,000 people."

Ji Junyue heard the words, nodded, and moved her lowered eyes slightly. She originally had such a plan, but she didn't expect Dou Zhan and her to think together. Dou Zhan has a long-term vision. No wonder he has been there for so many years. If we can maintain peace in the Northeast, no one will dare to violate it.

Several people then said a few words and were about to leave the big tent and go back to their respective camps, but then an announcement came from outside the door.

"Report!"

The figures of Ji Junyue and others who were about to turn around and leave paused slightly, and looked at the figures reflected outside the tent. It was almost the end of Haishi. Logically speaking, all the recruits had fallen asleep at this time, so how could they still report something?

Dou Zhan obviously thought of this, and frowned slightly: "Come in."

Pihu, Xing Qianqi, Ji Junyue, and Shen Yuan didn't leave, but watched the captain coming in.

The captain walked in and reported: "General, there are three less people in the first and fourth camps of the new barracks."

Dou Zhan looked blank: "What's going on?"

Ji Junyue also looked at the captain with some suspicion.

The visitor quickly said: "After setting up the tents in the recruit camp, a group of five hundred people went to wash up in a small river one kilometer away. When they all entered the camp, and when they were sorting out people, they realized that there were fewer people. Now they have been sent A hundred men went out to look for it.”

Shen Yuan, who had been silent until now, suddenly looked strange when he heard this, and said, "Isn't the small river you mentioned called Qingshui River?"

The captain was slightly stunned and nodded. Dou Zhan and Ji Junyue looked at Shen Yuan without knowing why. At this time, the look on Shen Yuan's face was quite interesting, showing a bit of disbelief and surprise.

"Is there a problem with Qingshui River?" Dou Zhan asked.

Ji Junyue, Pihu and Xing Qianqi also looked at Shen Yuan.

Shen Yuan glanced at a few people with a rather complicated expression and frowned: "There has always been a rumor in this area of ​​Shicheng that there is a Qingshui River outside the city. Because people passing by this place disappear all year round, it is called by the locals. River of the Dead.”

"Not only do people often disappear here, but they also spread for a long time. It seems that at the beginning of the founding of the Qin State, rumors of undead people taking lives here began to circulate. It has been at least nearly a hundred years so far. The local government Either no one has been sent here to investigate, either there are no results, or even the government officials who came to investigate have disappeared, and over time very few people will stay here."

Ji Junyue raised her lips with interest: "I remember there seemed to be a village not far away."

Shen Yuan nodded: "Indeed, just five hundred meters away from here, that village is called Xiangmi Village. It existed when the Qin State was founded. The Qingshui River is next to this village. The people in the village are because of this There were rumors that it was haunted and many people had moved away, and there were only less than fifty families left out of the original hundreds.”

"I always thought it was just a rumor, and even if there was something true, there would be no problem with so many of us. I didn't expect that something happened..."

Dou Zhan looked at the captain and ordered: "Let everyone be more vigilant. Those who go out to search for information will report immediately. By the way, find a few people to go to the village to ask."

"Yes!"

After the captain left, Dou Zhan looked at Shen Yuan and asked, "Did the bodies of those missing people not even be found?"

Shen Yuan frowned and said, "No, it's the fact that not a single body was found that makes it so weird. It's also rumored by the people that it is a river of the dead, with dead souls seeking their lives, and the number of missing people cannot be counted at all. At least hundreds of people are missing here so far.”

Everyone said nothing. After waiting for about half an hour, the captain came back again, and the news he brought was not good.

"General, the six recruits were not found. The soldiers who went to Xiangmi Village to inquire also said that the villagers did not see any strangers."

Ji Junyue didn't wait for Dou Zhan to speak and said directly: "Take me to Qingshui River to have a look."

Dou Zhan stayed behind and stayed in the military camp. He took Pihu and Shen Yuan with him and followed Ji Junyue to Qingshui. Along with them were two hundred Dou family troops and several of Ji Junyue's soldiers.

When Ji Junyue and others came to Qingshui River, Liang Yuzheng led the people to continue here. After seeing a few people, he shouted respectfully to Dou Zhan and others, then looked at Ji Junyue and said.

"My subordinates have asked people to search along the river. There are no traces around here, not even the slightest trace of fighting."

After hearing this, Ji Junyue looked at the green river next to it. This was a river about five feet wide and continuous with no end in sight. The green luster under the moonlight revealed a somewhat strange color, and it was not like an ordinary river. The color at night does look a bit eerie on this slightly cool night.

Ji Junyue moved her fingers slightly, and the invisible source of power spread out and turned into small black butterflies flying around in the night. She slowly explored and finally found some footprints two hundred meters upstream.

It's very close to Xiangmi Village... A cold look flashed across Ji Junyue's eyes, and she drove the black butterfly to fly towards Xiangmi Village. While looking at the investigation there, she said to Liang Yu and others.

"Go upstream."

Dou Zhan glanced at Ji Junyue. Although he didn't know why she suddenly mentioned going upstream, he always felt that Ji Yue must have guessed something.

Several people followed Ji Junyue all the way upstream. After walking two hundred meters, Ji Junyue suddenly stopped and bent down to open up the grass next to the river. Under the grass, there was a series of large footprints in the mud extending not far away. However, after arriving at the clearing, these footprints disappeared and were replaced by some clean soil.

Ji Junyue walked over and dug up the soil, but there was nothing underneath the soil.

Dou Zhan knelt down and took a look, then looked at the footprints in the grass, with a gloomy look on his face: "The traces here should have been covered up deliberately."

Pihu suddenly became angry: "Sure enough! I said how could there be ghosts in this world? It seems that this is simply human ghosts causing trouble!"

Shen Yuan frowned: "If that's the case, I'm afraid there are some ulterior secrets hidden around here, otherwise there wouldn't be people missing all year round..."

Liang Yu looked at Ji Junyue, who had his eyes lowered and didn't know what he was thinking, and said: "There are no other people around here except the village in front. How about I go and ask? Maybe I know something about the names of the villages inside."

Dou Zhan stood up and said, "Take more people with you to prevent any accidents on the road."

Seeing that Ji Junyue lowered her eyes and seemed to be thinking about something she hadn't said yet, Liang Yu responded and headed towards the Xiangmi Village in the distance with a hundred recruits beside him and fifty Dou family troops beside Dou Zhan.

At this time, Ji Junyue was not thinking about anything, but watching the pictures from Black Butterfly.

The villages in the distance stand in rows. There are three or four rows in total, and each row contains about four or five households. The village occupies a large area, but I don’t know if it’s because everyone has gone to bed late at night. Looking at it, it looks dark and faint. There was an indescribable sense of gloominess.

But these are all on the periphery. In the center of the village, there are four or five houses with lights on. Some people are walking in and out of the door, and some people are sitting around a fire in the yard of a house.

On the fire was a large black pot large enough to feed seven or eight people. A pot of boiling water was simmering in the pot, and thick smoke was rising.

Several figures walked in outside the courtyard again. They all seemed to be very hungry and quickly made fires, set up large pots, poured water in, and then sat around the pots.

The appearance of those people made Ji Junyue's eyes flash with surprise, because the appearance of those people was really scary.

Their facial features are more or less deformed. Either their eyes are bulging, or their noses are sunken into their faces, or they have no chin, or they have huge foreheads and small faces.

Some are tall and strong, some are skinny and small. In short, all of them look like monsters even though they speak human language...

At this time, someone came out of a nearby room, carrying a basin in his hand. In the basin were raw meat and bones chopped into small pieces.

The man carried the things to the fire and poured all the meat in his hand over. When the raw meat was clattering into the pot, Ji Junyue seemed to see something that looked like a human finger... See more! Prestige official account: hhxs665
