endless tricks

Wang Xiaohong immediately huddled into a ball and took off his hat, saying: "I will definitely not accept this commission!"

The eyes of Yang Yuanyi and the others were caught, and they covered their faces to persuade him: "If you have something to say, put your hat on first."

Wang Xiaohong put on his hat: "The rumors of horror nursery rhymes are too dangerous. If I go, I will either die or be a dragging existence."

Elder Sun sighed: "You have no chance if you want to go. The danger level of horror nursery rhymes is too high. If you go, it is equivalent to giving away the head, and it has no other effect."

In fact, the reasoning agency did not force Wang Xiaohong to accept the entrusted task. His strength lies in collecting data in every pervasive way. If he is forced to accept the entrusted task, it will be a waste of talents.The first two times were just that no one was available in the reasoning agency, and the level of strange news was low and the level of danger was not high, so he was allowed to go out to exercise his courage.

Yang Yuanyi: "Can scary nursery rhymes also become strange news?"

"Of course. Children's fear is the most natural, without any impurities. Adults have come from childhood. They sang weird and scary nursery rhymes when they were young. When they grow up, they try to analyze these nursery rhymes and understand the hidden secrets behind them. , The resulting fear will last forever.” Elder Sun raised his head and said gently: “The truly dangerous horror stories are not those familiar urban legends, but the stories that have gone through the longest time and run through human daily life .”

Yang Yuanyi picked up the information Mr. Sun put on the table and recorded what happened to his employer Dong Yongfeng two years ago.Dong Yongfeng is a folklore research enthusiast, and he set up a group, the members of which are all young students with common hobbies.

Two years ago, Dong Yongfeng led five students to Heping Town, Wu County to investigate local folklore polls. The topic at that time was to study the reflection of the times behind nursery rhymes.However, during the half month they lived in Heping Town, they kept encountering strange and strange things, which finally caused Dong Yongfeng to fall into an accidental coma for nearly two years, while the whereabouts of the other four students are still unknown.

Yang Yuanyi was puzzled: "Is it four students or five students?"

General Sun threw the two pieces of paper in his hand to him: "When we arrived at Wu County from the school, there were five people including Dong Yongfeng. They met students from the same school on the road and went to Heping Town together. There were five people. After Dong Yongfeng woke up, the police Asked as usual, and then launched an investigation. The investigation found that the fifth person was an extra person, that is to say, the life trajectory of that person could not be found. Moreover, according to the investigation results, Dong Yongfeng and the others did not go to Heping Town at all. They arrived in Wu County Later, I rented a van and arrived in the suburbs, where it disappeared mysteriously, and the wreckage of the van was found half a month later.”

Yang Yuanyi: "So weird?" After a pause, he asked after reading all the materials, "Did Dong Yongfeng lie?"

Old Sun: "I've talked to him, and it doesn't look like he's lying. He'll come to the reasoning agency tomorrow, and if he's sure he's not lying, he'll accept the commission. He'll lead you to Heping Town, Wu County."

Yang Yuanyi: "He has no past medical history, right? Mental."

"No, I have investigated everything, except for lying on the hospital bed for two years. And it was checked by the doctor to confirm that he was not lying for too long and could not distinguish reality from fiction. Although he is not sure about the authenticity, but go to check It’s good to avoid strange rumors.”

Yang Yuan nodded a little: "Yes." After looking through all the information, he found that the so-called encounters were just some basic descriptions, without specific encounters or specific times, and even the names of the missing students were not registered.He frowned: "Only these?"

Old Sun: "Dong Yongfeng's mood is not stable, wait for him to come over tomorrow and ask."

"Okay, then who will accept the entrustment?"

Old Sun: "You and Wu Wei. If the president still feels 'tired' from lying down, he can also go with him to loosen his muscles and bones."

Yang Yuanyi: "Then I will ask the president later."

Hearing this, Elder Sun raised his head and glanced at Yang Yuanyi, and then smiled very kindly.

Wu Wei had no objection, but Xia Lanlan blew her nose twice and said dissatisfiedly, "I'll go too."

Old man Sun replied without looking up: "Unless you go out and wear a down coat. Later I will cook some old tree roots for you to drink."

Xia Lanlan muttered, "I'm not sick... I don't have a cold."

Wang Xiaohong glanced at the wastebasket full of paper towels under Xia Lanlan's feet, and said after hearing what Sun Lao said, "Uncle Sun, cook some for me." Sun Lao's cold water from old tree roots is very effective in preventing colds.

After the matter was settled, several people chatted about the latest movie or which hot pot in the food city was the most authentic.Then they made an appointment to have a meal at the newly opened hot pot restaurant in the evening, and then went to Xijiao City or soaked in hot springs after eating.

Yang Yuanyi narrowed his eyes slightly: "The cold weather is the best time to eat and sweat, and then go to a hot spring to soak in comfort - is there a hot spring nearby?"

Wang Xiaohong is playing a game, focusing on two things: "There is a foot-washing city nearby, and massage baths and foot saunas are okay. It happens that the food city is next door to the foot-washing city, and it is not far away. But if you want to soak in hot springs, I recommend one There is a health spa, where there is authentic Chongqing hotpot, but it is a little far away.”

Yang Yuanyi: "How far?"

Wang Xiaohong: "Let's drive for an hour and a half."

Yang Yuanyi: "It's quite far away. Let's choose the nearest one, and I'll go to the hot springs later when I have time. Do you all want to go?" He has already clicked on the page to search for nearby hot pot restaurants and Foot Washing City, and made reservations in advance, but When filling in the number of people, it is not sure who will go.

No one objected at the scene, everyone wanted to go, including Mr. Sun who seemed to be walking tremblingly, but was actually healthy and strong.When Yang Yuanyi entered the number of people, he was about to press OK when he suddenly remembered Wei Yanqing who was not there: "Will the president go?"

Wu Wei replied without thinking: "Of course not."

Xia Lanlan's nose is all red, but this does not completely hinder her enthusiasm for kowtowing CP.She said: "If you go to talk, the president will definitely go."

Old Sun smiled and said nothing, Wang Xiaohong rubbed his arms and scratched his face: "I can't imagine the picture of the president and us eating hot pot, soaking our feet in a medicinal bath and taking a sauna."

In his impression, the president is a gloomy, pale and terrifying existence, but also an illusory and unreal existence.Probably too powerful strange news will make people feel a sense of distance, and it is always incompatible with them.

Wu Wei rubbed his chin and muttered to himself: "It's really hard to imagine."

Yang Yuan glanced at Wu Wei strangely, with a slightly strange expression on his face.Wu Wei stared at him uncomfortably, and after a long while suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and growled with a dark face: "It doesn't matter if I and the president are really innocent!"

Yang Yuan felt guilty: "Oh, I actually didn't mean that."

Wu Wei: Do you fucking dare to look into my eyes and say that in front of my face? !

Yang Yuan got up together: "I'll ask the president, if he agrees, I'll add another one." After speaking, he went upstairs to find Wei Yanqing.

Passing by the promenade, I stood by the window and stared at the glass window in a daze.The Reasoning Club is an old-fashioned foreign-style building left over from the last century, and it retains many traces of old-fashioned buildings, including glass.The windows are also old-fashioned retro stained glass windows, and you can see beautiful patterns from a close look.Gently push open a crack, the cold wind from outside blows in, the leaves of an old tree directly opposite are yellow, and the ground is covered with dead leaves.

Before long, there may only be old, dry branches left.

Yang Yuan sewed the window shut, then turned to face Wei Yanqing's door, which was closed tightly.In the past two months, the number of times Wei Yanqing went downstairs can be counted on the fingers.As the weather turns cold, he seems to be about to fall into hibernation, always looking sleepy and tired.

But even though he was drowsy, Wei Yanqing would still remember to knock on his door every night, and regularly check whether the silverware on his body was stained black.Yang Yuanyi found out later that Wei Yanqing's blood was soaked in all these special silverware, so as to suppress the overflowing terror from himself.

Wang Xiaohong told Yang Yuanyi that because the main body is too strong to be restrained by the body but forcibly suppressed, the result is fatigue all day long.Coupled with the fact that the third and fourth floors of the reasoning agency store countless anecdotes, Wei Yanqing needs to sit in the reasoning agency to balance these monsters.

After Yang Yuan learned the truth, he didn't dare to bother Wei Yanqing for nearly a month.When going upstairs and returning to the room, he also tried his best not to disturb him, but the sullen Wei Yanqing ran over to knock around and asked him why he suddenly ignored him.

After Yang Yuan answered truthfully, Wei Yanqing stared at him for a while, then ran to Wang Xiaohong for a short chat in secret.Looking back, Wang Xiaohong cried and came to Yang Yuanyi: "The president is stronger than you and I imagined, just treat him normally. When it's time to find him, go find him."

He almost wanted to shake Yang Yuan's shoulders and growl. Anyone looking for the president would face the horror of a large army, but his wife was the exception!When the wife comes to the door, of course the president of the dead house will be flushed and full of energy immediately! !What terrible misconception do you have about a horny single spinster who has a wife but can't sleep? !

Just after knocking on the door twice, I heard Wei Yanqing's voice from inside: "...the door is unlocked, come in."

As soon as Yang Yuan opened the door and went in, he saw Wei Yanqing mixing drinks behind the small indoor bar, and the latter beckoned: "Come here."

He walked over, and as soon as he sat down, Wei Yanqing pushed over a glass of mixed wine: "What can I do for you?"

Yang Yuanyi: "Let's have a hot pot at night, will you go?"

Wei Yanqing raised her eyes, cut off a slice of lemon and put it in the cocktail glass in front of Yang Yuanyi, then leaned on the bar with one elbow and said, "No."

Yang Yuanyi: "Aren't you the only one left in the club?"

Wei Yanqing smiled lightly: "You can stay with me." Before Yang Yuan could answer, he said again: "Just kidding. I won't go, as long as you have fun."

Yang Yuanyi was silent for a long time, and after taking two sips of wine, the cold feeling exploded in his mouth, which was very irritating.He narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "Does the president have to spend a lot of energy to suppress things on the fourth floor every time he leaves the reasoning agency for a while? That's why he is often tired?"

Wei Yanqing: "That group of trash? It's not enough." While talking, he took away the cocktail glass in front of Yang Yuanyi: "It's too cold, I'll make you some green plum wine, and I'll take it away later."

"Thank you, President." Yang Yuanyi clasped his hands, leaning his elbows on the bar counter and asked in doubt: "That is, the body cannot support the body that is too large—speaking of which, what is the body of the President?"

Wei Yanqing was preparing tools for cooking wine, and upon hearing this, she replied: "You will know later."

Yang Yuanyi asked: "In the future? How long?"

Wei Yanqing: "If you think you can hold on, you can see my real body."

Hearing this, Yang Yuan's whole face wrinkled without expression, and returned to normal after a few seconds: "Then I may never see you again." Nowadays, without the suppression of silverware, the whole person will be overwhelmed by Wei Yanqing. The horrifying aura that came out was so frightening that he couldn't move.What's more, when the other party takes off his body and reveals his undisguised body, I'm afraid he will fall into a nightmare and never wake up.

Wei Yanqing smiled and said, "Have you ever seen hell?"

Yang Yuanyi: "No."

"That's the place that was imagined out of fear, the place where terror is." Wei Yanqing turned his back to the light, his face was faintly visible, and the lower half of his face was hidden in the darkness, revealing particularly evil and treacherous eyebrows: "Anyone who sees my true body , eternal hell.”

Trapped in hell forever, unable to wake up, unable to die.Until the moment when the consciousness disappeared, I still firmly believed that I was living in hell and could not be redeemed.Despair and fear go hand in hand, which is the essence of terror.

One finger of Yang Yuan trembled slightly, and after a long time, the fear in his heart faded away like a tide.At that moment just now, he firmly believed in the terrifying place Wei Yanqing mentioned.

The crisp sound of opening the bottle shattered the condensed atmosphere.As soon as Yang Yuan looked up, he saw Wei Yanqing was pouring the wine into the flagon, and then put the special flagon into the bowl, and the boiling hot water was outside the bowl.

After Wei Yanqing calmed down, her brows and eyes still looked gloomy, but it was harmless.

"The wine brewed by myself tastes good." He said this, and explained Yang Yuanyi's problem before: "I just haven't adapted to the transformation of body and body. I used to get used to the body and be free. Later, in order to get used to human Society has to fabricate a body. Now it can't be integrated, which will bring troublesome sequelae to some extent."

"Oh." Yang Yuan lowered his eyes and asked softly: "Can the body be fabricated at will?"

Wei Yanqing paused while cooking the wine, nervously said: "No." Other strange stories definitely can't.

Yang Yuanyi's voice became softer, as if he was about to float up: "Then, have you ever failed to fabricate a body?"

Wei Yanqing swallowed imperceptibly, with cold sweat dripping from his forehead: "...No." His voice was a little softer and deeper, which concealed his guilty conscience very well.

Yang Yuan nodded, and changed the subject naturally in the next moment: "I received a new commission, about the strange news about the horror nursery rhymes in Heping Town, Wuxian County. Wu Wei and I accepted the commission, do you want the president to come together?"

Wei Yanqing: "Scary nursery rhymes?"

Yang Yuanyi: "Yes."

"This is a very troublesome strange news, and the degree of danger is very high. There is a file about scary nursery rhymes in the study, you can read it." After finishing speaking, Wei Yanqing thought about it for a long time in silence, and continued: "You guys go first, I'll be late for two days Heaven is here."

Yang Yuanyi: "Will it affect you?" If he goes too, he will leave the reasoning agency.At this time, the body and the body have not yet fully integrated and adapted, and I don't know if it will bring bad effects.

Wei Yanqing shook her head: "No."

That's the end of the topic, Yang Yuan watched Wei Yanqing cook the wine, and he didn't feel bored until the end.Silence spread, but what it brought was not embarrassment and bewilderment, but quiet warmth and habit.

The scent of green plum wine, the sound of boiling hot water, and the warm room, it happened to be afternoon, Yang Yuanyi gradually felt sleepy, his eyelids were too heavy to open.

I heard Wei Yanqing's cold voice: "Let's sleep first."

Yang Yuanyi murmured: "I have an appointment with Wang Xiaohong and the others tonight."

"I'll call you."

"Thank you, President..."

The next day, everyone stayed in bed until ten o'clock.Around eleven o'clock at noon, Dong Yongfeng came to the reasoning agency accompanied by two young people.

Everyone was having lunch, so Dong Yongfeng and the other three were asked to wait in the living room outside.After lunch, Elder Sun and Yang Yuanyi came out first to talk to the three of them, mainly Dong Yongfeng.

Dong Yongfeng is in his [-]s this year, and he doesn't look old, just thin.He first introduced himself, including the two young people who followed him: "This is my niece Dong Tingting and my student Zhao Jiaguang. They accompanied me, and they will also accompany me to Heping Town this time."

Yang Yuanyi: "The three of you are going to Heping Town together?"

Dong Yongfeng: "Yes."

Yang Yuanyi said bluntly: "With all due respect, if there is a real problem in Heping Town, the more people passing by, the more troublesome it will be. This means that in case of danger, we need to distract them and protect them."

Dong Yongfeng's niece, Dong Tingting, said displeasedly: "I don't need your protection!" She folded her arms and said, "In short, I don't know how you lied to my uncle, and I don't want to know, and I don't need your protection. I just Worried about my uncle's health, I will accompany him to Wu County. You don't have to say anything grandiose in front of me."

Dong Tingting's attitude is also very bad, and she obviously doesn't like the reasoning agency.Ever since my uncle woke up and repeatedly stated that the four missing students were taken away by the ghosts that appeared in the nursery rhymes, she felt that his uncle might have been too stimulated so that his mental state was unstable.Who knew that my uncle would contact the reasoning agency while his family was not paying attention, and threatened to go to Heping Town to investigate again.And the reasoning agency's impatient promise, in her opinion, was deceiving people from money.

Therefore, Dong Tingting did not have a good look at the reasoning agency and others.

Unlike Dong Tingting, Zhao Jiaguang didn't like Yang Yuanyi and others, and he didn't believe in the nursery rhyme ghost mentioned by Dong Yongfeng, just because one of the missing students was his brother.And getting rid of the reasoning agency just hopes that someone can help find the missing brother. After all, it is a professional reasoning company, and maybe there are real materials.

Zhao Jiaguang said: "I can pay, please protect me."

Yang Yuanyi refused: "We are not bodyguards."

Zhao Jiaguang: "Then—"

Dong Yongfeng interrupted Zhao Jiaguang, stopped Dong Tingting and told her not to talk nonsense.Then he put on a sincere expression and said: "The child is not sensible, she is just worried about me. I can add more money to the original price and let her follow. As for Jiaguang, one of the missing students is his brother. He hopes Can go to investigate his brother's whereabouts."

Yang Yuanyi: "Mr. Dong, it's not about money. If Heping Town is really as dangerous as you said, can you guarantee the safety of the two of them?"

Dong Yongfeng hesitated, showing hesitation.He is not worried about his own safety, but only wants to rescue the missing students.But Dong Tingting and Zhao Jiaguang are still so young, is it worth taking risks with him?

Yang Yuanyi: "You can think about it clearly. In addition," he said to Zhao Jiaguang, "if you rule out other possibilities, the rest is the most dangerous situation. You may face the same situation as your brother who has no news from you. Are you sure you want to go? ?”

The three of them looked at each other in blank dismay and remained silent for a long time, unable to give an answer for a while.

Yang Yuanyi let the two young people think, and only asked Dong Yongfeng: "Mr. Dong, according to the police investigation report, you and your students did not reach Heping Town two years ago. Instead, you disappeared on the way to Heping Town. Half a month later, the van you rented was found to have crashed into a cliff."

Dong Yongfeng straightened up and said anxiously: "We did arrive at Heping Town and lived there for half a month. There...that half month was like a nightmare, how could I forget it?"

Yang Yuanyi: "So, are you sure you're in Heping Town?"

"I'm sure. At that time we set off early in the morning and encountered a thick and thick fog on the road. We almost couldn't get out. There was no way to go to the village or back to the shop, but the navigation was always on, guiding us forward. The car drove for a long time. After a while, we finally saw a two-meter-high big stone with three large characters 'Peace Town' engraved on it!"

Then, it was the beginning of all nightmares.

Yang Yuanyi: "At that time, there were only five of you in Wu County. Do you still remember the sixth person who was added later?"

"Remember, I remember!" Dong Yongfeng said excitedly: "His name is Dou Qizheng, and it was he who mentioned Heping Town to us. He said that it was his hometown. There are many leftover folk customs, polls and nursery rhymes in his hometown. It dates back to the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty. We were so excited that we followed him to Heping Town without much thought. At that time, he also showed his student ID card, so we felt more at ease and had no doubts."

Yang Yuanyi: "Then what happened afterwards? After you arrived in Heping Town, what happened to this man named Dou Qizheng?"

Dong Yongfeng said nonchalantly: "Dead. He died. He died so badly that he was hacked dozens of times with an ax."

Yang Yuanyi: "Did he guide you on purpose, or was he as ignorant as you?"

Dong Yongfeng was depressed but very sure: "He knew! Because he was the one who urged us to enter Heping Town. When we saw the big rock and the town covered by thick fog, we always felt something was wrong and wanted to leave. But he He kept telling us 'here, here, this is here, this is Heping Town', getting very emotional, and jumped out of the car and ran into the town."

They were helpless and curious, so they followed in and fell into a thick fog.

Yang Yuan nodded and said: "In summary, you may have been targeted long ago. Dou Qizheng is in charge of luring you, and Heping Town is probably not the same as Heping Town in Wuxian County on the current map. Specifically, we need to go to the place It can only be confirmed after a thorough investigation, so now, Mr. Dong, what kind of scary nursery rhymes have you encountered? What are the consequences?"

Dong Yongfeng showed horror, his lips trembled several times, and he told what he had encountered and heard at the beginning.After listening to the process, Dong Tingting and Zhao Jiaguang, who were originally disapproving, turned pale: "Is it true?"

Dong Yongfeng sighed: "Why should I make up stories to lie to you?"

After being speechless for a long time, Zhao Jiaguang asked: "Professor Dong, so my brother...is there a chance that something unexpected will happen to my brother?"

Dong Yongfeng didn't dare to answer him with certainty. In fact, what he encountered at the beginning was enough for him to realize that the four missing students might not come back.However, he still wanted to take a look, even if it was a slim chance.

The author has something to say:

Yang Yuanyi: Have you ever had a failed form before?For example, the same style as my husband.

Where the horror lies? Seeing it is like falling into hell. President Wei (cold sweat, guilty conscience): No!Absolutely not!
