Third watch

Lu Xiaolu was dumbfounded: "No way? Is it really a summoned beast?"

"Light." Zhong Yi said concisely, and extinguished the mosquito coil on the ground with one foot: "Let's follow."

A group of people went up Wutong Mountain at one o'clock in the middle of the night with lights on.

Zhong Yi walked in the front with his bag on his back, Lu Xiaolu was in the middle, and Wang Xiaoming was behind. The three of them quickly crossed the sugarcane field and chased after them.

"This is wrong." Wang Xiaoming said as he walked, "Didn't Mr. Gu say that something was wrong with his villa? Why did he go up the mountain?"

"It's not necessarily him." Lu Xiaolu said, "It looks like there is at least one member of the football team."

"No, it's him." Zhong Yi said: "How many people in a neighborhood are there who are entangled with that kind of thing?"

Lu Xiaolu: "Huh?"

"Take off your glasses and have a look." Wang Xiaoming reminded him.

Lu Xiaolu took off his glasses and was startled again.

Wutong Mountain in front of them was pitch black, how could there be any long lights?

Lu Xiaolu froze for a moment, wiped his glasses and put them back on again. The spot of light was still flickering, and several of the larger spots of light trembled a few times as if blown by the night wind.

"I'll go." Lu Xiaolu said softly, "How do you know—"

"When you get used to it, you'll be able to tell the difference." Wang Xiaoming said in a muffled voice.

Zhong Yi looked at the light that was still moving towards the top of the mountain, then turned his head and asked Wang Xiaoming: "What did the surname Gu say that day? Villa?"

"Several people died." Wang Xiaoming recalled: "His villa had bought the foundation a long time ago, and the construction started the year before last. When the wiring was installed in March, there was an electric leakage, which killed a decorator's wife; the villa was shut down for two months. At that time, a security guard in the community was drunk and patrolling, died of a heart attack at the door, and was discovered in the morning; then at the beginning of last year, another group of decoration workers died—in the hall, the floor was laid, and the cause of death was unknown. "

"He still wants to live in such a house." Lu Xiaolu said, "It's a strange thing to some extent."

"Because he's used to seeing such evil things." Zhong Yi said, "Have you forgotten how many things are wrapped around him?"

"Knowing that the villa is wrong, if you don't sell it or give it up, but move in directly, there are only a few possibilities." Wang Xiaoming thought for a while: "One: Those are not accidents at all, but man-made, and have something to do with Mr. Gu. Two: There are bad things in the villa, and ordinary people can't bear it, but Mr. Gu has invited many evil spirits, so he can suppress them. Three: There is some reason in the villa that makes him unwilling to give up even if so many unlucky things happen. "

"A businessman values ​​profits." Wang Xiaoming concluded: "I guess it is three. His business is very big, and most of the things on his body were originally for money."

"You mean that the Feng Shui of that villa must be very good?" Lu Xiaolu asked.

"Not necessarily." Zhong Yi said: "It may be Feng Shui, it may be the formation, or it may be the first possibility."

"...You said he was a murderer?" Lu Xiaolu opened his mouth wide.

"He didn't necessarily kill him, but it has something to do with him." Zhong Yi's opinion is a little different from Wang Xiaoming's: "He dared to walk around with his things—not everyone can see them, such as us. He is so unscrupulous , indicating that he must have something more powerful than his body."

"He probably took it off for fun." It had just rained earlier and the road was covered with mud. Wang Xiaoming felt that the soles of his shoes were getting heavier and heavier: "I have raised a big thing, but now I can't afford it."

"Ordinary people will not end well when they make deals with ghosts and gods." Zhong Yi said in a deep voice.

Wutong Mountain is a small mountain, and it will take no more than three hours to climb to the top during the day, but the lights in front seem to be unaffected by road conditions and visibility at all, and they move quite fast.

After walking for a while, only Zhong Yi didn't catch his breath. Wang Xiaoming and Lu Xiaolu couldn't talk anymore, so they could only keep up with Zhong Yi silently.

They rustled through the long grass, saw the lights stop just as they were about to reach the summit—and then began to disappear one by one.

Lu Xiaolu snorted, and wanted to take two quick steps to catch up, but was stopped by Zhong Yi.

"Don't disturb them." Zhong Yi whispered.

Wang Xiaoming also followed, and opened his mouth in surprise when he saw the scene in front of him.

The original long line of light spots had disappeared to only half, but this was not the reason why Wang Xiaoming was surprised.

They guessed it right before, and those light sources were indeed lanterns.

The small lotus lanterns are simple and exquisite in style, as if they have traveled from ancient times, but what surprised them even more was that the people holding these lanterns were actually naked women.

Those women were naked, their bodies seemed to be carved out of white jade, and they would emit a slight white light under the light at night.

They were standing in an open space with their long hair and lanterns in hand, and they walked to a big stone that was as tall as a person at the edge of the open space.

Lu Xiaolu groaned, covering his eyes without silver.

Wang Xiaoming was also very embarrassed - it was the first time he saw a woman without clothes, alive.

...but it may not be alive.

After realizing this, these women don't seem to have any sense of beauty, they only make people feel ghostly.

Wang Xiaoming shivered.

The woman in the front raised her hand and brought the lantern close to the big rock. The three of them saw from a distance that there was a dark gap in the middle of the rock.

Those naked women carrying lanterns walked into the gap one by one.

"They're all beauties." Lu Xiaolu whispered, "What is that man planning to do? To be a secret harem? A strange rich man..."

"How do you know if it's a beautiful woman?" Wang Xiaoming rolled his eyes that no one saw: "I can't see the face clearly."

"At least they are in good shape." Lu Xiaolu was not convinced.

"Then you'd better pray that you don't see their faces clearly." Zhong Yi said calmly, "Because it's not clear what they are."

"I don't feel they are alive," he said.

Lu Xiaolu laughed dryly, and turned his head to Wang Xiaoming with a frightened expression.

"What's so strange about this?" Wang Xiaoming said dryly: "Ordinary people don't have your glasses, and these beauties don't exist in their eyes."

Otherwise, a group of naked women going up the mountain with lanterns would be quite eye-catching even in the middle of the night.

"They almost all walked in." Lu Xiaolu said, "What are we going to do?"

"Follow."

Wang Xiaoming: "...I don't take off my clothes. The mosquitoes on the mountain are terrible."

"Is this the point?" Lu Xiaolu scolded him: "What we should care about is the place where they go - do you think it looks like a tourist attraction? No wonder you can't always get high marks in essay questions..."

Zhong Yi untied his backpack and pulled out three masks from it.

"Put it on," he ordered.

These are three cheap plastic cartoon masks that can be seen everywhere, and the unit price does not exceed two yuan each. They are pierced with an elastic band with a rough hole on each side.

Lu Xiaolu: "...What is this? I want the Ultraman one!"

Zhong Yi ignored him and threw him a beautiful sheep mask.

Wang Xiaoming was a little embarrassed: "Eh... I didn't expect to wear it when I bought it."

Otherwise, he would have chosen a more handsome look instead of the copycat Transformers sent to him by Zhong Yi.

"This is yours?!" Lu Xiaolu said.

Wang Xiaoming: "Isn't there an affiliated elementary school nearby...prepared for June [-]st." I don't know when Zhong Yi found out these squeezed products that couldn't be sold.

Probably because of Lin Yu's incident last time, Zhong Yi felt that it would be easier to wear a mask than to carry lipstick with him.

Zhong Yi put on the Ultraman himself: "Don't talk nonsense, let's go."

"Do you think there - whatever's in that stone, it won't remember our faces because we're wearing child masks?"

"If you wear it, you will cease to exist." Zhong Yi said.

Wang Xiaoming and Lu Xiaolu: "!!"

Zhong Yi was impatient: "Most ghosts perceive living people by breath. I modified it a bit. When you wear this, what you exhale is not vitality."

Wang Xiaoming said, "You can do this too?!"

Zhong Yi snorted.

But Wang Xiaoming could tell that he hummed very well this time.

"But be careful." Before walking into the gap, Zhong Yi suddenly said: "This is a cheap product, be careful not to damage it."

Lu Xiaolu said: "Oh no, I will cherish such a powerful thing for the rest of my life!"

"What a pity." Zhong Yi said, "This is a one-time product. It will expire after three hours at the most. And it's only useful for ghosts, and most monsters with entities can't be fooled."

Wang Xiaoming and Lu Xiaolu: "..."

After Zhong Yi finished speaking, he was the first one to sneak into the gap without looking back—and then got stuck.

Zhong Yi: "..."

"Your bag is too big." Wang Xiaoming said, "Leave it outside..."

"No." Zhong Yi said with a wooden face, trying to untie the bag: "I'll go in first, and then you push the bag in."

In any case, the gap was clearly reserved for slim women, not three grown men.

After they managed to push Zhong Yi's backpack in (it was the simplified version packed before going up the mountain), Wang Xiaoming got stuck again.

"Strong!" Lu Xiaolu bumped him outside: "Breathe in! Squeeze your belly and lift your butt!"

"Shut up!" Wang Xiaoming went crazy: "I'm not fat!"

"Obviously this seam doesn't think so." Zhong Yi also tried to pull him in.

"I think this stone will move..." Wang Xiaoming's expression was grim due to the all-round squeeze.

At this time, Lu Xiaolu ran up two steps, bumped him in, and then squeezed most of his body in along the gap.

"Fuck!" Lu Xiaolu yelled, "Why did you get smaller!"

Before Wang Xiaoming could stand still, he pulled him together with Zhong Yi: "I'm not talking nonsense! This gap will become smaller!"

"Shut up and don't yell!" Zhong Yi gritted his teeth and forced Lu Xiaolu in with force.

Lu Xiaolu was pulled to jump on them, hissed and gasped: "My arm must have been scratched..."

"This stone can move!" Wang Xiaoming stepped forward incredulously: "I just said that your bag can get in, how can I get stuck."

"It's likely to be an active mechanism." Lu Xiaolu put his hand into the gap with a low hand: "I'm afraid it will shrink to the point where even those women can't get in..."

Wang Xiaoming slapped his paws vigilantly, and Zhong Yi approached the gap with the flashlight, and found that the two sides were indeed closing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At this rate, the gap will disappear in just a few minutes.

"We were lucky." Zhong Yi said.

Lu Xiaolu agreed. Fortunately, they moved fast enough. Right now, only a preschool child can come through this gap.

"You are so happy, I really don't want to spoil your interest." Wang Xiaoming said: "But this thing is closed, how can we go out?"

This is a rock, not a door to be kicked open with brute force.

There was silence.

"...Do we have explosives to open mountains?" Lu Xiaolu raised his hand in the dark.

No one answered him.
