The third day, morning.

There are 65 hours left in the countdown.

After Cheng Xiyou and Qu Rui came out of the ancestral hall, both of them were dazed, with dark circles under their eyes. They had to worry about whether there was any dirt around them, and they had to keep an eye on when the incense on the stove was about to go out. with.

"Ah! Your neck—"

Yu Ran had just come out of the wing room, his eyes hadn't adapted to the glare of the daytime light, when suddenly Qu Rui exclaimed, looking in his direction with eyes full of panic.

Cheng Xiyou and Shen Tongyu were standing under the tree chatting, but when they heard the sound, they looked over. The next second, their expressions changed suddenly, as if they saw a ghost in their eyes.

"what happened?"

Yu Ran hummed dully, his chin was suddenly lifted by a hand behind him.

He frowned subconsciously, struggled unsuccessfully, and was clasped tightly by warm knuckles again.

Yan Shiche scratched his neck with his fingertips, Yu Ran shuddered, his whole body suddenly woke up from the hypoglycemic stupor, and pushed away the arm in front of him.

When he reacted, he slapped a red mark on the man's arm.

It looks like it hurts.

Yan Shiche's face was very cold, but he didn't seem to care about the small injury on his arm.

He stared at Yu Ran's neck and frowned, he was sure he hadn't seen this last night——

There was a circle of strangulation marks on the originally white and clean neck, about one finger wide, and the color was purple and black, as if... being hung up with a rope.

When everyone looked at the mark, they all thought of Chen Tong who was hanged on the beam of the house, and his hairs stood on end in broad daylight.

"What do I have here?" Yu Ran looked at their expressions and pointed to his neck.

Qu Rui immediately took out the small mirror from her bag and handed it to him.

Yu Ran looked in the mirror and touched the strangle marks on his neck, the skin felt as usual, and there was no unsuitable pain.

Could it be that the brat did it last night?But what is this?Is the prey marked for failed raids?

"Does it not hurt?" Yan Shiche asked.

"I don't feel anything." Yu Ran touched his neck, "Does it look serious?" He didn't feel any pain himself.

"Ah."

The content of the conversation between the two was scattered, but the atmosphere was so weird that people couldn't get in their mouths.

Cheng Xiyou scratched his forehead, recalling the scene of seeing these two people go to the toilet side by side last night, it seems that they have shown a tacit understanding that cannot be broken by others since the first night they lived together...

Well...sexuality is free after all, especially in such horrific circumstances, the drawbridge effect is enough to make one fall in love with a pig...

"What the hell did you meet last night?"

Shen Tongyu's face was ugly, he stared at the strangle marks on Yu Ran's neck, as if looking at something dirty.

Yu Ran followed that annoying scrutiny, and really noticed the inconceivable expression deeply hidden in the other's brows and eyes.

He and Yan Shiche's judgments were almost the same. There was a high probability that Shen Tongyu was a veteran, whether it was the state of ease when he first came in on the first day, or the behavior of guiding newcomers to assign tasks was not right.

It's not like the psychological quality that an ordinary social animal in a company should have.

Not to mention that on the day of Chen Tong's death, he was clearly frightened and fell asleep in the room after turning around.

His performance is really not brilliant, and it is because most people trust their companions in a dangerous environment that few people notice his abnormality.

Such people are usually arrogant, vulnerable, and extremely showy.

It's easy to get overwhelmed.

And if it really crashes, you should see a very interesting performance...

"do not know."

Yu Ran's eyes were as cold as his voice, deliberately offending the precarious self-esteem of the man opposite him.

Sure enough, Shen Tongyu became irritable all of a sudden, "I don't know? Stretch marks can't appear for no reason, right? We are all on the same boat now, so we can be prepared if you tell us."

After saying that, Qu Rui and Cheng Xiyou also looked at Yu Ran, hoping to get useful news.

"I have strangle marks on my neck, so I have to know?" Yu Ran raised his eyebrows, "The night Chen Tong died, the whole yard could hear howling, and you slept soundly too."

"You doubt me?" Shen Tongyu turned dark.

Yu Ran looked at him coldly, "I didn't say that."

After he finished speaking, he paused for a while, and then drew his voice slowly, "Of course, I can't help you if you think so."

"..." Shen Tongyu was speechless, clenched his fists, and took a step forward.

"how?"

Yan Shiche stood in front of Yu Ran, with a smile on his lips, but there was no trace of politeness in his eyes.

He lowered his eyes slightly, squinted at Shen Tongyu, and the folds of his deep-set eyelids were sharply pulled apart, showing a hint of warning.

The height of 1.9 meters is a deterrent wherever it is placed. Shen Tongyu's eyes were red with anger, and he glared at the two of them hatefully, but he did not dare to act rashly.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Cheng Xiyou quickly moaned and advised, "Don't disturb the brothers, we have to find a way to get out of this ghost place, everyone, don't hurt your peace!"

Yu Ran sneered, and brushed past Shen Tongyu.

Yan Shiche followed, and with his keen ears, he heard Shen Tongyu curse in a low voice, "A domestic dog!"

He turned his head, just in time to see the crumpled suit and tie of the other party, and the resentful and vicious eyes staring at Yu Ran's back with his distorted face.

Shen Tongyu and Yan Shiche looked at each other unexpectedly, and his face turned pale. At that glance, he seemed to see a beast eating flesh and blood, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back at some point.

Yan Shiche looked away expressionlessly.

He looked at the black marks on Yu Ran's fair neck, thoughtfully.

An early-morning argument made breakfast time awkward.Only Yan Shiche had a heartless appetite and swept half a plate of buns.

Yu Ran drank his porridge with his head down, his curly forehead hair hanging down to cover his eyes, his whole face looked very dark in the small hall on the dark side.

It was everyone who could tell that the audience was not in high spirits. Cheng Xiyou wanted to speak several times, but he held back abruptly.

After dinner, Shen Tongyu urged the two night watchmen to catch up on sleep first. Cheng Xiyou shook his head and said that he would not be able to fall asleep at night after sleeping during the day, so he might as well stay through to the end.

Qu Rui didn't dare to stay in the room alone, she waved her hands as if she had something to say.

Cheng Xiyou coughed twice and glanced at the woman several times.

"We found some clues behind the statue." Qu Rui paused, thinking about what to say.

Cheng Xiyou took out two sheets of paper at the right time and placed them on the table. It was a missing page in the notebook.

"I wanted to talk about it a long time ago, isn't this a bad atmosphere, hahaha..." The boy laughed dryly, and seeing everyone's expressions were frozen, he obediently closed his mouth.

Yu Ran and Yan Shiche looked at each other.

The ancestral hall was searched countless times on the first day, and now there are more clues.

There are really colleagues who do the same immoral things as Yu Ran.

They all looked at the notes in unison——

[Jiwei Year, October [-]th]

[There is still one month left, but the village is like a fire. Uncle Wu and Dad went up the mountain to find firewood, and almost collapsed. My mother took me outside the village to pick weeds to reduce the heat, but it didn't seem to help. 】

……

[Jiwei Year, October [-]th]

【It's really hot. The villagers looked at Twenty-San more and more frighteningly. I had no choice but to stay with her for a moment. I held her in my arms all day and all night. The door might not have been out for a long time. 】

[But the room was too hot to breathe, so I cried a few times in the night of Ersanyi. 】

……

[Jiwei Year, the sixth day of the winter month]

[Maybe there is really no hope, I often think, why do we have to bear this curse, life and death are not up to us? 】

【Twenty-Three is the most innocent one, she has no choice at all. 】

……

[Ji Wei Year, Winter Moon Twelve]

【They took Twenty-San away while I wasn't paying attention!She is so young!Everything is not her fault!Why can't you let her go! ! ! 】

A dark red stain dripped on the page, and a large piece of the thin papyrus was soaked out, which was shockingly red.

Yu Ran paused, and turned his attention to the last diary entry.

[Ji Wei Year, Winter Moon Thirteen]

【Tomorrow everything will be over, I'm going to take Twenty-Three away, even if I die, I'm still willing. 】

[If you lie to your life for a long time, you always lie to yourself, and they will always be punished. 】

"It's as hot as a fire in winter? How is this possible!" Shen Tongyu frowned.

Yu Ran tapped his fingertips on the table, staring at the date on the paper, and quickly calculated the past in his mind.

The thirteenth day of the winter month in the Jiwei year happened to be December 1979, 12.

On the eve of 1980.

照日记上的记录推测，冯月死于1980年1月1日，加上阴媒已守灵两日的说法，他们到的那天正好是1980年1月2日晚。

It's only two days away from the source of all the weird things.

So what happened in the past two days to make the "like a fire" weather recorded in the original diary return to normal?

To put it another way, why was Dongyue's climate so abnormal before?

Is it Feng Yue's death, or...their arrival?

The notes in Yu Ran's hand also mentioned that "the sky is getting worse and worse".

It's not that he didn't think that Feng Yue might be lying, but when they came, the mountains were all dry and yellow, and even the grass under their feet was black, as if the village and the surrounding wilderness mountains had been scorched by fire.

What curse is this village carrying?

Why did Er San and Feng Yue have to die for this?

Yu Ran has a strong premonition that once they find out the key to these two problems, they will be able to leave this dungeon.

"...Then, who is Twenty-Three?" Cheng Xiyou raised his hand tremblingly.

At this moment, the small door of the side room was pushed open with a creak.

Everyone was shocked and quickly turned around.

The shaman who disappeared all day appeared outside the door.

She scanned the small hall for a week, and her originally gloomy expression became more sinister, making people feel chills down their backs.

"I know that some of you don't want to stay in the ancestral hall and cause trouble everywhere..." The hoarse voice seemed to have swallowed a hundred catties of sandpaper, and the evil spirit stopped at Yu Ran, and sneered twice.

"I'm not in the village at night, you outsiders must not leave the ancestral hall, if something happens, no one can save you..."

The shadow medium appeared as if it was just to warn everyone about this matter. After scaring people into a cold sweat, they left dangling their limbs like bamboo poles.

The smoldering crow-feather-like eyelashes trembled, and the dark eyes followed the shadow's stiff footsteps, until the other party disappeared behind the door.

Looks very interesting.

"There is a wilderness outside the village. She is not in the village. Where is she going?"

Yan Shiche asked Yu Ran, "Want to take a look?"

"Okay."

The author has something to say:

see you tomorrow!
