[Transmigration Book] Thank you for not killing your roommate

It was okay not to know at first, but now that I thought about it, Lu Mu felt more and more frightened, as if his every move was under the control of others.

"Brother! Here is a book!"

When Lu Mu was flustered by this, Su Feng's shout suddenly came from outside the house.Lu Mu tensed up, then came back to his senses, and hurried outside.

I saw Sufeng standing on the village road not far from him, holding a book with a very worn cover in his hand, waving his hand at them to signal them to come quickly.

This book was found by Su Feng in a building suspected to be a village ancestral hall, and placed under the dusty desk.

After Su Feng turned the pages of the book, Lu Mu and Lu Jingyan approached him and stretched their heads curiously to read the contents.

At first they thought it was a genealogy, because the first page was full of people's names, but then they discovered that each name was followed by a year, and after the year, it was followed by "end of life" and "death of illness". , "Sorrow" and other different words.

Lu Mu quickly understood the function of this book. It was obvious that it was used to record when and why the local villagers passed away.Similarly, Su Feng and Lu Jingyan also discovered this.

As the pages of the book continued to turn backwards, when they reached the last few pages, they found that the reason had all become the word "missing".

At first, Lu Mu wondered if the last few pages were used to count missing persons?But after looking at the time, it is obviously not, but indeed, from a certain time, people in this village began to disappear on a large scale for some reason.And then, I don't know if it was because of the migration or all the people in the village had an accident, so there is no record.

"Could the successive disappearances of the villagers be related to the strange incident in the woods last night?" Lu Jingyan asked her question after reading it, which was also Lu Mu's guess.

Lu Mu thought for a while, and said his inference: "I'm afraid that this village will be abandoned now is also related to this."

Lu Jingyan and Sufeng didn't speak, but from their expressions, it was obvious that their thoughts were similar to Lu Mu's.

It's just that the clues revealed in this booklet alone are still too few for them to infer the truth, unless they can find the villagers in the original village.

Su Feng pondered for a moment and then said: "Perhaps we still need to go to that well to explore."

Although he knew that Sufeng's suggestion was the most effective, when he thought of the feeling that the well brought to people, Lu Mu's hairs all over his body exploded, and for some reason he had a strong sense of resistance to the well.

"Speaking of it, they were all outside, but it was just an accident with people outside and the beast rider was not affected in any way, and the monster in the fog seemed to be unconscious and just wandering around, not attacking the vehicle." Lu Mu recalled After last night's experience, they spent the whole night in the car with their eyes open and worried, ready to break the car and go out to fight at any time. As a result, apart from the strange laughter from time to time, there was no change.So he thought for a while and said, "I'm wondering if the problem is still in the fog. Maybe as long as the human body touches or inhales it, it will lose its mind. Only the monsters in the fog and where the fog comes from, Unless they reappear at night, it is difficult to detect now."

"But I was outside last night, but I was not affected by anything." Su Feng frowned. He now regrets that he took a careless nap because he was lax for a while, but it turned out that he didn't know when the abnormality happened. I noticed it at the first time, "It's all my fault, if I didn't fall asleep at that time, I wouldn't..."

"No, no, it's none of your business, Junior Brother. It's because I'm not good. I overslept and didn't come out to replace you." Lu Mu hurriedly said embarrassingly, and then said uncertainly, "Is it because your realm is higher than yours?" Why are they tall?"

"..."

For a while, things fell into a stalemate again.

Just as they were puzzled again, the clattering of horseshoes and the sound of wheels turning came from afar.

Lu Mu's eyes lit up immediately: "Someone is coming!"

They hurried out to the entrance of the village, and saw not far away, more than a dozen carriages loaded with goods were moving towards them.

Not long after, the entire caravan clearly appeared in front of their eyes.

This is a caravan of a certain size. It can be seen that there are bodyguards on both sides of the caravan escorting it. One of them is a burly man facing a slightly vicious man riding a horse in front of the caravan. If you guessed correctly, This person should be the captain who was assigned by the Escort to lead the team this time.

I am very happy to see someone coming to Lumu. Regardless of the unresolved strange things, if possible, it would be great if Li Wu's wife and children can temporarily follow the caravan and settle down in the nearest town. After all, the two Without any combat power, Li Wu's wife is even sick, so it is really not suitable to stay in the wild all the time.

So Lu Mu ran out and waved at the caravan.

With such a short distance, the lead bodyguard naturally saw him.

The captain of the bodyguard with evil eyes seemed to be frowning in displeasure. He slowed down the beast rider, and at the same time made a pause gesture to the convoy behind, and then he took a few steps forward to face Lu Mu and the others. Shouted: "Hey! You guys! What are you doing in this wilderness?!"

"The two of us are disciples of Xuanji Sect, and we encountered some troubles around here."

After hearing this, the captain's face became even more ugly.

And the convoy at the back stopped because of his instructions.Not long after Lu Mu finished answering, a man dressed as a servant poked his head out of a carriage in the middle of the convoy that was obviously carrying important people, and shouted forward: "Hey!!! Why did you stop suddenly? .”

"There is someone blocking the way ahead!" The escort captain replied.

Then the boy went back into the car, came out a minute later and shouted to the bodyguard: "The master asked who is that?"

The team leader came to the carriage and described Lu Mu and the others' clothes, as well as their self-reported identities, to the employer in the carriage.

Lu Mu waited nervously for the caravan's reply. In fact, he knew in his heart that most people would think there was something wrong when they were suddenly stopped in the wilderness, and would rather have one more thing than one less thing, not to mention the opposite businessman. The team is obviously still a considerable size and experience.

So he was not very sure that the other party would help them.

Unexpectedly, after communicating with the people in the car for a while, the bodyguard rode up to them again, with a very serious expression and a serious tone, asking: "Why do you guys stop at such a place? Is this the first time passing by here?"

Lu Mu was stunned for a moment, listening to what the bodyguard said, he seemed to understand the strange things around here.

He thought for a while and said, "We and a few other merchants originally planned to cross this wasteland together yesterday, but unexpectedly this wasteland is too big, and it happened to be dark, so we settled here."

"What?!" The bodyguard suddenly stared like copper bells, and then he shouted loudly, "Nonsense! Get out of this place!"

Lu Mu suddenly looked solemn: "Mo, don't you all know the weirdness of the forest?"

After exchanging these few words, the bodyguard had roughly guessed what happened to them earlier, and he immediately reminded: "If you still have people in the woods, tell them to leave there quickly. How many people are left?"

"To be honest, except for the three of us and a pair of mother and child, everyone else has disappeared." Lu Mu said this, and he was also very depressed. "What is that thing that appeared in the woods at night? Can you tell me a little bit?" ?”

Because I have already asked the employer for instructions in advance, so the bodyguard didn't mind wasting a little time at this time, and explained to the few people who came to this place for the first time in front of him: "Actually, this village was quite prosperous more than 20 years ago, but I don't know. Since when, people have been missing from time to time, and the nearby woods will be shrouded in thick fog at midnight, and there are even more strange figures in the fog. Later, more and more people disappeared, and the weirdness in the woods made the nearby villagers feel uneasy panic."

Reminiscent of Sufeng's description last night, Lu Mu still felt hairy in broad daylight.

"Then, do you know why?"

"Later, because there were too many missing people, the village head called the officers and soldiers in the city. After some investigation, they finally found the traces of the missing people near the well in the woods. Then some officers and soldiers went down to the well to see See if you can find the body, but it turns out..."

"Result?" Lu Mu swallowed.

"As soon as the officer tied the rope and got scared, he let out a terrified cry. People hurriedly pulled him up, and found out what a terrifying scene they saw, and they suddenly went crazy with fright."

"Hiss—" Not only Lu Mu, Su Feng and Lu Jingyan also gasped.

"Later, many monks were invited, but none of them could solve the problem. On the contrary, several monks were trapped inside." The bodyguard said heavily, "After many people were recruited, I finally realized that the dense fog in the night It came out of the well, and as long as the human skin is touched by the fog, it will become a monster inside, but as long as the skin is not touched, it will have no effect. The dense fog will return to the well at dawn Here, too, are the monsters, who will be roped back to the well at dawn."

Lu Mu thought, he finally understood why he felt hairy all over when he approached the well, and it really was because there was something wrong with it.

"You should leave here quickly." The bodyguard reminded kindly, "Actually, it should be more than that simple, otherwise the people in this village will not have to move in the end."
