Chapter 22 The Secret Covered by the Moonlight

In the snow-covered village, the lights are gradually dimming.

The falling snow not only erased the traces of pedestrians, but also absorbed all kinds of sounds in the village.The night after the snow became much quieter than usual.

After midnight, when everyone in the village fell asleep, the village was as silent as a deserted wilderness.

The lurking ghosts also came to the village quietly at this time.

Everything is silent, and all secret affairs are carried out under the cover of moonlight.

On the trail in the village, a long footprint suddenly appeared in the snow, deep and shallow, stretching from one end of the village to the other end of the village.The footprints haven't melted yet, they are still freshly baked footprints, who is it?Who wanders alone at midnight?

Is it a ghost, or a human being with ulterior motives.

The heavy snow covered up the sound well, but it couldn't cover up the fresh footprints.Soon, the secret traveler in the dark showed his tracks.

He walked carefully down the path, making as little noise as possible.He walked along the village path familiarly, and seemed to be very familiar with every corner and every fork here.Soon, the mystic arrived at his destination.

A hut with lights still on.

In the dark night, the lights in this room are very obvious.Compared with the surrounding darkness, this small light is like a solitary boat in the wind and rain, attracting the attention of people lurking in the storm and the dark night.

It was already midnight, but faint groans could still be heard from the hut from time to time, which sounded like a delirious whisper.

Yes, this is the residence of the village chief, and the target that the mystic is following now is also the person in this house.

Thinking of what he was going to do next, the mystic's hands trembled uncontrollably.He was excited, but also terrified.His trip is to cover up his biggest secret. Once he succeeds, all the secrets will no longer be known, and all the wealth will belong to him alone.As long as he thought of this, he couldn't stop jumping for joy.

Staring menacingly at the burning room, the mystic muttered silently.

come on!Let it all be over!

He gently pushed open the courtyard door and walked towards the hut.

"Oh, I'm so rude."

"At night, what does the little mouse want to do secretly?"

The sudden sound sounded like a thunderbolt in the night.

The mystic turned back in horror, and saw three standing behind him—ghosts in black cloaks.

Their eyes seemed to be glowing red, staring at the nocturnal man.

One of them spoke up.

"What did you come here in the middle of the night for? Ma Shun."

The mystic was shocked. "you--!"

"This is not the place to talk."

A black cloak said concisely: "Take it away."

Two black cloaks were folded on the left and right, and they led the mystic away from the house regardless of his wishes. Everything was going on quietly in front of the lighted cabin.

Five minutes later, they showed up in an empty house.This place used to be a mourning hall for storing corpses a day ago, but now the corpses have been stored in another place by his family, after all, it used to be "haunted".

The mystic was thrown casually on the ground by the black cloaks that held him, no, now he should not be called the mystic, but his name.

"Ma Shun."

A black cloak said: "Do you admit your crime and accept punishment for it?"

Ma Shun, who fell to the ground, got up staggeringly.

"Who are you! Don't come here again, or I will call someone, call someone!"

In this small village, all the villagers would wake up from their dreams with a single shout, and the trail of the black cloak would undoubtedly be exposed to the eyes of the world.

They don't seem to be scared, though.

"Shout people? Call everyone, and confess your crimes in broad daylight?" The black cloak standing on the left said: "Conspired to kill the village chief, wanted to monopolize the wealth, colluded with outsiders, even now And want to get rid of the last insider. Murder, greed, erasure of evidence. Do you still want to defend yourself?"

"Who are you! Who are you!" Ma Shun shouted in horror, but the voice did not come out of the room.He was still afraid, afraid that what he had done would be known by the people in the village.

"Who are we?" A black cloak laughed.

"When you first colluded with outsiders for selfish reasons, you should know who we are."

"You should have known who we were when you first committed a crime on this land."

"You should know who we are the first time you see us by the sea."

"So, don't you know our identities now? The living."

The red eyes glowed strangely in the dark.

"We are ghosts from the ground, here to punish you."

The pupils dilated for an instant, and after Ma Shun knew the identities of the ghosts in front of him, he trembled uncontrollably with fear.He begged in a low voice, "It's not me! I didn't do anything. It's all about the village chief. It's him, he made me do that! It's him!"

Seeing that he still wanted to deny it, Chen Lin sneered and said, "It wasn't you, who told the outsiders to retreat?"

That day at the beach, Chen Lin was accidentally spotted by a villager, but soon those enemies retreated as if they had smelled a dangerous fox.The first time he saw Ma Shun, Chen Lin recognized him.Besides this person who ran into him at the beach, who else would leak information?

"It's not you, why did you sneak to the village chief's house in the middle of the night?"

"I, I...just..." Ma Shun muttered.

"Use the fear caused by ghosts to persuade the villagers not to go out at night and create opportunities for themselves to travel at night. Isn't this your little idea?" Chen Lin smiled, stepped forward and forcefully took out something from Ma Shun's body, ruthlessly He landed the final blow hard.

"It's not you, so what is this?"

"Excellent." The youngest whistled and looked at the things in his hand. "The latest technology can destroy the electrolyte balance in the human body in an instant, causing the illusion of sudden death due to cardiac arrest."

"Wouldn't the small shops on this island still sell this kind of thing?" The youngest laughed. "Those guys gave you this, so you just obediently work for them? Well, kill the village director by the way."

"No, I didn't kill him!" Ma Shun argued for himself, "I didn't know he would die at all! It was an accident!"

"You were surprised that he would die in front of your house." Chen Lin said: "At the last moment before the heart stopped, the director struggled to run to your house, but it was a pity that he finally collapsed at the door. I can imagine , you must have been surprised when you accidentally found his body, no, you must have been scared."

The youngest continued: "Then the village head lost his mind due to excessive fear, and you were worried that he would reveal your secret in a daze, so you wanted to kill him to silence him. But what I want to know is why you want to get rid of it. The village director. Unequal distribution of spoils?"

Things have come to this point, Ma Shun seems to have no need to defend himself.He knew that no matter what he said, these vicious ghosts would not let him go.From the information he occasionally learned about these ghosts, Ma Shun was sure that they were a group of evil spirits who never showed mercy.

"...Yes. We killed him!" He simply admitted, "But he was wrong! It was supposed to cooperate with those guys, and we could get a part of the gold mine! Gold mine, that's gold! But that The idiot actually flinched, he actually wanted to tell the people in the village the secret of cooperation!"

"He is a coward, a coward! Shouldn't I have killed him? Shouldn't I? The gold was originally mine! Why should I share it with others? Why!" Ma Shun's eyes were red, hysterical.The greed in his heart has occupied his mind, and now it seems that he is more terrifying than evil ghosts.

"You actually want to seek skin from a tiger." The youngest sneered, "The village director who unfortunately died early is quite wise. In the end, you are just working for those guys for nothing, and you won't get a penny."

But it's useless to say these things to Ma Shun. This guy who only has gold and small islands in his vision will never understand this.

The tiger cooperates with the mouse, and the final result will only be to swallow the mouse in one gulp.

"Kill him." The youngest said to Tang Kexin, "I don't want to stay in this boring place anymore."

"Do not."

Unexpectedly, Tang Kexin refused. "My knife doesn't cut this kind of person, it will be dirty."

The youngest looked at him, his veins were throbbing, "Are you still a qualified killer? You are still picky, picky! How can we go back if we don't kill him? Forget it, even if you don't use your precious knife, do you have any other weapons? Give him directly Poke it!"

"No." Tang Kexin refused, "But I can help you restrain him, you do it yourself."

"I don't do this kind of physical work! I don't do it!" The youngest was also uncompromising.

Chen Lin had a headache and looked at the two arguing.

"I said, if you continue arguing, this guy will run away."

Tang Ke drew the knife in a hurry, picked up the collar of Ma Shun who was sneaking towards the door, and hooked him back.Under the cold gaze of the killer, Ma Shun trembled, not daring to run away.He could only hopelessly wait for death.

However, the abyss of despair never ends.

Chen Lin suddenly suggested: "Since none of you want to do anything, why not take him back."

"Bring back?"

The youngest and Tang Kexin turned their heads to look at him together.

"I think he will be useful underground." Chen Lin shrugged, "This is just a suggestion."

In the dark underground, Ma Shun will be tortured more terrible than death.

"Yes!"

"can."

Ma Shun trembled. "No, don't—!"

This last shrill cry completely awakened the sleeping village, but when people got up to check the source of the sound, they saw only empty houses.At the same time, Ma Shun also disappeared.

Some people said that he ran into an evil spirit, while others said that he saw a ghost take him away.The ghost's red eyes are particularly shocking in the dark night.

Ma Shun never came back, and rumors of Xiaocun's haunting became more and more serious, causing people to panic for a while.

One month later, a national geological team surveying the islands in the sea accidentally discovered rich gold reserves on the island.In order to better dig gold mines, the few villagers on the island were all relocated off the island, and corresponding compensations were given.However, to the surprise of the staff who came to persuade the islanders to move, the villagers were very cooperative in their work.

Before leaving, some villagers even reminded him that the island is haunted and he should be careful.

The staff just took it as a joke and let it go.

No one knows that ghosts once really roamed the island.There was even a villager who was taken to hell, never to be reborn.

However, all these secrets disappeared on the isolated island forever with the disbandment of the village.

Only the moonlight that night witnessed everything.

That day, the ghosts left the island before dawn.

The last dark moment before the sun rises, rich and heavy.Chen Lin looked at the eastern sky, imagining what it would look like when the fiery red sun jumped out of the sky.

"What are you in a daze for, let's go."

Tang Kexin was carrying Ma Shun who was knocked unconscious with one hand, and the youngest urged him impatiently.

Looking at the black cloth in his hand, Chen Lin resisted a little: "I can't, don't wear this?"

The youngest laughed, "You can say this when you are of a high level, kid."

Chen Lin frowned.

Seeing this, Tang Kexin suddenly dropped the person in his hand, and snatched the blindfold from the youngest.

"I come."

He stood behind Chen Lin and tied the cloth covering his eyes.

When the youngest curled his lips in disdain and looked to the other side, Tang Kexin suddenly lowered his head, leaned into Chen Lin's ear and whispered, "One day, you will untie it."

Chen Lin was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly smiled.

"Yes, one day."

There will be a day when he will break through all the fog that blocks his vision, tear down all obstacles, and see the truth thoroughly.

However, when that day comes, will Tang Kexin still stand behind her like this?

Chen Lin thought so, and then went back underground.
