"Little Ding, what are you doing?"

Wang Run frowned and stopped, snatched the squirrel's body from the child, and said, "How can you play with this, go back quickly and let your mother wash it for you!"

Being robbed of "toys" by others, the child is obviously not very happy.

He started, staring at Wang Run with a pair of dark eyes.

There was an undisguised hatred in the cold eyes.

Xu Shu never thought that one day he would see such emotions in the eyes of a three or four year old child.

He couldn't help being slightly stunned, and then, he saw an even more shocking scene——

The child suddenly grinned and laughed.

The upper and lower rows of teeth protruding from between the lips were covered with bright red blood, and... a small amount of squirrel hair.

The red blood contrasted sharply with the white teeth.

Wang Run took a deep breath and yelled, "Aunt Yin!"

As his voice fell, the extremely weird expression on the child's face disappeared instantly, leaving only a face full of horror.

He stood up suddenly, turned around and ran back to the house.

Then there was a woman's scolding sound from the room, and the woman Wang Run called Aunt Yin came out, scolded the child a few times, and apologized to Xu Shu and Ji Chuan.

Until returning to the village chief's house, Xu Shu still hadn't recovered a bit.

He sat in the room for a while before he said: "The child's behavior just now made me a little suspicious. Do the two heads on the stone statue imply that the villagers have dual personalities or something?"

There is also the possibility that the child is not actually the one they saw earlier, but twins.

But if they were twins, why didn't they play together, and why didn't Wang Run mention it?

Either way, it's just speculation right now.

The most important thing at present is to find practical clues.

Xu Shu and Ji Chuan stayed at the village chief's house for more than half an hour. Seeing that none of them wanted to go out, they might not find a chance to see the room for a while. After discussing it, they decided to go out and talk to other players. Maybe we can get other clues from them.

The closest ones to them were Gu Yu and Gu Mengmeng, and they just came back when they passed by.

Gu Yu said: "Those two little brothers went out of the village along the road at the end of the village, and said they wanted to go to the mountain to have a look. We wanted to ask you first, what happened to the locked room?"

Xu Shu briefly talked about what happened in the room, and also mentioned that someone peeked at them outside the door last night.

After hearing this, Gu Mengmeng let out a sigh, covered her heart and said, "Standing at the door in the middle of the night and peeping? This is too scary!"

"You guys are really lucky," Gu Yu said, "Although it may be a bit risky, you can also get some clues. Everything is normal here, but we haven't found anything yet."

"No, didn't we notice the red paper on the door over there." Gu Mengmeng was very optimistic: "Although other players must have seen it a long time ago."

Xu Shu said: "Speaking of this, I still haven't figured out what the purpose of that piece of red paper is."

It should be something related to the sacrifice. At first, he wondered if it meant that the sacrifice came from that family, but later found out that the village chief and Wang Dalei's house seemed to be holding some living thing, and It seems that it is not what he thought.

"Then now..." Gu Yu paused and said, "How about we split up and visit other villagers' homes?"

There is no other way.

Xu Shu and Ji Chuan went directly to the first house at the head of the village, while the two women started at the end of the village and then met in the middle.

The first few families were fine, but when they opened the door and saw Xu Shu and the others, they smiled and invited them to sit in for a little while, until the two went to the family with children, the situation changed.

After the child's mother opened the door and saw them, her expression was visibly stiff, she put her hand on the door and did not let it go, and asked from behind through the door panel: "What's the matter?"

Although her attitude was very kind, she couldn't hide her vigilance.

Xu Shu said with a smile: "Hello, can we go in and sit down? Because I really want to know more about the customs and customs of your place..."

"It's not convenient." She interrupted Xu Shu, with a smile on her face, but she refused straightforwardly: "I'm so sorry, Xiao Ding is too naughty, it's not convenient for me to take care of him."

Xu Shu suddenly said, "Is Xiao Ding the only one who is naughty? Isn't the other child quite well-behaved?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the woman's complexion changed slightly, and she said "There is only one child in our family, don't talk nonsense", and directly bolted the door.

Xu Shu looked back at Ji Chuan, shrugged his shoulders and said in a low voice, "Eight/nine are inseparable from ten, really two."

Of the two children, one looked innocent and pure, while the other... didn't look like a child at all.

No, to be precise, he is not like a normal person at all - Bi Ji Chuan is not normal at all.

Thinking of this, Xu Shu glanced at Ji Chuan, and met his gaze.

Ji Chuan raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xu Shu shook his head: "No, I was just thinking, that child doesn't look like a normal person at all, could it be a monster? It's the monster in the temple."

Although it is still a reasonable guess, there is no actual evidence, and the clues they currently have are still too few.

However, there are still four days before the sacrifice, enough for them to find more clues.

At the same time, the two youths who left the village had already walked into the woods behind the mountain.

They walked along the trail all the way, and found traces of people's activities among the vegetation on the ground, so they walked forward along those marks.

Weeds are overgrown in the mountains and forests, and there are hunting traps set by the villagers. Although a piece of red cloth is tied next to the traps as a warning, you still need to be extra careful.

The most dangerous thing is that there are often poisonous snakes in this deep mountain.

When the two walked, they had to be careful about their feet, so they kept their heads down almost all the time.

After walking for about 10 minutes, Bai Jiu, who was walking in front, stopped, turned around and said, "I haven't found anything after walking for so long. I guess I can't find any clues. I think we should go back first?"

Lin Ze in the back looked up and looked around, and sighed helplessly: "Okay."

He turned around and walked back, saying in his mouth: "Although we didn't find any clues, at least we know that the clues should all be concentrated in the village, which can be regarded as a kind of income..."

"Help me—"

A sudden shout interrupted Lin Ze's words.

The expressions of the two changed drastically, Bai Jiu pointed to the left side and said, "The voice is coming from there!"

They immediately took steps and ran over there.

But after a few steps, Lin Ze stopped: "Wait, don't go there, maybe it's a ghost..."

"Help! Does anyone hear me? I've stepped into a trap!!!"

That voice sounded again.

"This voice sounds familiar." Bai Jiu frowned, thought for a while, and said, "It seems to be the fat guy in the group of three!"

Lin Ze also remembered, and nodded: "It does sound similar, but it's better to be careful. Let's not go over so fast, approach slowly, take a look first and then talk."

So the two slowed down and walked over there slowly.

Fatty's cries for help still came from time to time, and the voice became lower and lower, as if his voice was about to become hoarse.

Later, there was a faint cry.

When the two gradually approached, they vaguely heard the fat man crying in a low voice: "Damn, do I want to die in this ghost place so aggrieved? I was not killed by a ghost, but by myself..."

It wasn't until this moment that the two of them realized that the sound didn't seem to be coming from the ground, but from above.

Lin Ze, who was walking in front, raised his head and carefully looked through the woods twice before finally seeing a blurry figure among the branches of one of the trees.

He felt slightly relieved, and shouted, "Is it Fatty?"

The crying over there stopped abruptly, and then an extremely excited voice came over: "Yes, it's me! I stepped into a trap and was hung from a tree! Come and save me! Really, really Well, thank God, there are people here!"

He twisted his body a few times while talking, and the two people here could see more clearly that it was indeed a chubby figure from between the branches.

They gradually approached there and saw the fat man's face clearly.

After confirming that it was indeed him, the two walked over at a faster pace, only to see a rope wrapped around the fat man's right ankle, and the whole person was directly hung upside down on a thick branch.

The rope went around the end of the branch, and the other end extended to the bushes not far away.

Lin Ze and Bai Jiu went over there directly, untied the rope and put the fat man on the ground little by little.

The fat man breathed a sigh of relief, wiped his sweat and sat on the ground and said, "I'm so fucking scared to death, why isn't there a red cloth tied around this trap, I thought I was going to die here today!"

Lin Ze turned his head to look around, and saw a touch of red among the grass not far away.

He went to pick it up and said: "It seems that it is not tied properly, it was blown off by the wind."

"Hey, anyway, thank you all, if you didn't arrive, I guess I'd be cold!" The fat man paused for a while and asked, "By the way, what are you doing here?"

Bai Jiu asked back: "We should ask you this, right? Why did you come here alone? Where are the two players with you?"

The fat man curled his lips and said, "Don't mention it, they look down on me, I had a fight with them, and I came out to find clues by myself."

"As a result, the clues were not found, and they were treated as prey?" Lin Ze was a little amused.

The fat man clicked his tongue, a little anxious: "Who said I didn't find it? I came here only when I saw something here! I just didn't notice that there was a trap—look over there, is there any grass missing? piece?!"

The two looked in the direction of his finger, and then they realized that there was actually a piece of land not covered by weeds on the mountain covered with grass everywhere.

To be precise, the soil in that place was excavated.Because it is obvious that there are many dead grasses mixed in between the soil.

Lin Ze and Bai Jiu looked at each other, and they said one word at the same time: "Dig!"
