wake of the wild

"Squeak-"

The leading member pushed open half of the temple door, and the rusty hinges made an uncomfortable sound.

Hu Lingyu supported his forehead, there is only half of the door left, so there is no need to push, the other half is so big that the gap can't accommodate you!

Naturally, the members in front didn't hear the little fox's inner cries. After pushing the door and looking inside, they carefully stepped over the threshold and entered the dark village temple.

Then the second member, the third...

Hu Lingyu stuck close to Lu Qi, and followed at the end. As soon as he reached the gate of the temple, he felt a chilly wind blowing from inside.Looking up, there is a statue in the middle of the temple, sitting upright, its tall body towers up to the top of the temple, almost touching the beam, its head is hidden in the dark shadow, and its face cannot be seen clearly.

Lu Qi entered the temple after the third member, walked two steps, and found that there was nothing around him, turned around, and saw Hu was still standing outside the threshold, muttering something silently.

Lu Qi smiled and joked, "What are you talking about, praying or praying?"

The little fox exhaled, raised his head and chest, and finally recited again in a dignified manner: "Hu Lingyu, you are a firm materialist fighter."

Then he entered the door with his head held high, and took the steps of the light of truth.

Lu Qile said: "Don't be so involved."

Hu Lingyu said: "If you don't put in a little bit, how can you be worthy of President Wei's painstaking efforts." In fact, what he thought in his heart was that he hoped that the president would not put any extra painstaking efforts in this kind of venue where the effect is already full.

Standing in the main hall, the small space can be seen at a glance.

On the left and right sides are long-burning lamps for worship, placed in rows, the lamps have already run out of oil in the long oblivion, and only densely packed lamps are left, full of dust.

The confession case under the statue seat, the plates should have been filled with offerings in the past, but now they are empty, leaving only dust.

The five stood under the statue, looking up through the hazy light coming in from the entrance of the temple.

The statue finally revealed its true face.

Big eyes, flat mouth, a ferocious intimidation.

Most of the oil paint has faded and peeled off, exposing the mud tires inside, and only a few sporadic remains remain on the face of the statue, as if torn apart the terrifying face, adding to the weirdness.

There was a long silence in the main hall.

Half of the temple door was suddenly blown by the wind with a "bang".

The three commune members trembled with fright, but they finally regained their senses.

"You said this statue was originally worshiped in the village, or was it arranged by the president himself?"

"There are already in the village, right?"

"If the president did it, the funds would be too expensive..."

Before the words were finished, the long lights on the left and right suddenly "hula" and all lit up.

In an instant, the whole hall was brightly lit.

"what--"

"Fuck!"

"Squeak!"

Three commune members screamed in alarm, scolded others, and one of the murine family turned into a beast, and rushed to the partner who was swearing.

Hu Lingyu shook his head, tsk, this little courage is still brave.

Then the four claws firmly grasped Lu Qi's shoulder, unable to survive.

"Why does the oil lamp turn on!" The terrified commune members wanted to scratch the wall, but they didn't dare to move, in case something happened again.

Lu Qi laughed softly, raised his hand to smooth the fur of the red fox lying on his shoulder, and then looked at the three members: "I guess the president decided to burn the funds because he heard your doubts."

The two of them and the mouse looked at the sika deer, which was at ease and had a completely different style of painting from its surroundings...

Some people cast their heads in admiration: "As expected of being number one in the investigative class."

Someone was skeptical: "Brother, are you really not afraid, or is the reflex arc too long?"

There are also people who just say: "Squeak!"

Lu Qi looked around, but he was also curious, so he approached to check the mechanism of the long-burning lamp, but just two steps forward, the oil lamp slammed again, and all of them went out in an instant.

Darkness returns.

The two of them and the mouse have already hugged each other, but that's all, they still haven't probed in a certain direction: "Did you two see it just now, it's okay inside."

Like a house. "

Hu Lingyu thought it was called the inner hall.

Wait, I'm so scared that I still have time to observe the terrain? ?

Without taking care of it at a glance, two people and a mouse have already entered inside.

Hu Lingyu hasn't remembered the names of the three classmates until now, but he has already helped them form a group in his mind-the group of people who are addicted to vegetables.

Lu Qi didn't follow immediately, but first asked the little red fox on his shoulder: "Are you still going in?"

The little fox shook his head frantically, even crackling his fluffy tail, with rejection written all over his body.

The communication bracelet on the left front paw turned on at this moment, indicating that someone wanted to talk.

Hu Lingyu tapped another small paw on the screen, and the voice of rhubarb came out of the bracelet immediately, panting with excitement of adrenaline surge: "how are you... huh... our side is too exciting——"

Hu Lingyu wanted to ask more specific questions, but when he uttered: "Huh?"

Da Huang on the other end of the communication was stunned, and asked in confusion, "Why did you become a beast?"

"What did you meet?" Lu Qi asked directly for the little fox.

"An old house," said He Qiuyan's voice, more cheerful than Rhubarb, "A ghost house where you don't need a set for shooting ghost movies. I guess it was the richest man in the village back then..." As he thought of something, his tone suddenly changed, "Why wasn't there such a big battle when we were welcomed last semester?"

Hu Lingyu: "..."

This kind of thing also has to fight for favor!

Trials make people grow.

The pastoral dog with a pale face every time he came back from club activities last semester, and the red-crowned crane who vowed to leave the club next semester with a poisonous curse are gone forever.

"Why are you so quiet over there?" The pastoral dog asked strangely, "Did you meet anything?"

"I met you," Lu Qi said, "but the temperament of the scene is different from yours, we..."

Before he finished speaking, Fu Xi'ang's voice suddenly came from the bracelet, which sounded a little far away: "Who—"

Then there was Rhubarb nearby: "What's wrong?"

Fu Xi'ang: "There was a figure just now!"

He Qiuyan: "Impossible, all five of us are here."

In addition to a dog, a crane, and a jaguar, the East Front Group has two other members.

"Could it be the president?" The voice of one of the members also came out.

Then there was another: "No way, the president usually sets up the mechanism in advance, waiting for us to trigger it ourselves."

He Qiuyan: "Could it be that installation art can no longer satisfy him, and he needs to add some performance art?"

Huang Chong: "Fu Xi'ang, what are you doing—"

The pastoral dog barked.

Before Lu Qi could ask, he hastily said: "Fu Xi'ang has chased after him, let's go and have a look!"

After speaking, the communication was cut off.

The little fox and Lu Qi looked at each other.

In the next second, Hu Lingyu jumped off Lu Qi's shoulder and ended his beast transformation. Wearing only the beast costume, he picked up the coat that had just fallen on the ground, and quickly put it on: "Is nothing wrong?"

There are no ghosts in the world.

But there may be people in this deserted village.

Hu Lingyu no longer hesitated, and said directly: "Let's go to the east to have a look."

"Wait a minute." Lu Qi squinted his eyes, and slowly looked towards the inner hall. Since the three members entered, there had been no sound for a long time.

Hu Lingyu was stunned.

The two walked in cautiously and entered the inner hall.

Three walls, three statues, the same confession case, the same dusty pan, no ever-burning lamps, but a few futons for kneeling on the ground, tattered and tattered, with no original color visible.

Nothing else.

Three members of the club were missing.

Hu Lingyu's breathing was stagnant, and his back felt cold.

Lu Qi directly contacted Wei Qing with the bracelet, but was unable to contact him for a long time.

The little fox who came back to his senses also started to contact Huang Chong, but there was no reply.

"I'll go back and look for my phone." Hu Lingyu looked up at Lu Qi. At this moment, the fear dissipated, and there was only decisiveness on his brows. "Something must have happened. I'm afraid the two of us can't handle it. We need to contact the beast immediately."

control bureau. "

Lu Qi stopped him: "From now on, no matter what we do, the two of us can't act alone, do you understand?"

Hu Lingyu and Lu Qi looked at each other for a while, then nodded: "Understood."

"Okay," Lu Qi said calmly, "First of all, the mobile phones are in Wei Qing's backpack, but we don't know where Wei Qing is now, and similarly, we don't know what happened to Da Huang, but there is one thing I know that three people just disappeared in this inner hall, and there is only this one exit leading to the front hall."

indeed.

The three walls in the inner hall are airtight, and he and Lu Qi were standing outside just now, it is impossible for someone to enter the inner hall from their eyes, or transport the three members out, so where can people disappear?

These are the three students who are the easiest to find and even rescue right now.

"You search the palace, I'll try again to see if I can contact other people." Hu Lingyu made a prompt decision.

The two divided the work, Lu Qi searched and checked the inner hall, and Hu Lingyu was on the spot, where Lu Qi could see, and continued to try to establish communication with every member of the brave.

First of all, the three members on my side couldn't get through.

Going to the Eastern Front again, I tried to contact Da Huang, Xiao He, Fu Xi'ang, two members of the commune, but failed.

The northern line, five members, failed.

On the west front, the four attendants and vice president Qin Hengyan...

Ma Qianqian: "What's the matter? Are you frightened, you fox haha..."

The first communication was sent and connected.

The cheerful voice suddenly broke the oppressive atmosphere in the temple, and the little fox, who was caught off guard, suspected for a few seconds that he was hallucinating.

"Are you all safe?" The first sentence couldn't wait to confirm the situation.

"What?" Ma Qianqian was not happy, "Can pretending to be a ghost scare the four of us. But then again," Chi Xixi lowered her voice, "Qin Hengyan is too cowardly. He helped Wei Qing design something, but he scared himself He's half-dead, but he still speaks stubbornly, saying that he is not timid, he is not afraid of violence and blood, but he is a ghost..."

"Shut up!" Hu Lingyu rushed to the room in a hurry, and wentssip on the other side, "Hurry up and get out of here, how come you come back, and you must not run around anymore, get back in the car and let Qin Hengyan drive immediately Go out of the village and go to the nearest main road, no matter what method you use, you can block the road and borrow it, find a mobile phone to contact the Animal Control Bureau, there is danger here."

The instructions given by the little fox are specific to every detail, and they can almost operate with eyes closed.

Ma Qianqian understood, but didn't fully understand: "What's the danger here?"

Next to him, Wang Yanning interjected, teasingly: "Aren't you scared? Don't worry, it's all fake. If you're really scared, just stick to Lu Qi. Anyway, we can't see you two now."

Hu Lingyu: "I'm not joking, the three people in the same group as me and Lu Qi disappeared."

"Missing?" Zhao Sheng's voice said, "Could it be that they cooperated with Wei Qing to scare you two?"

"Let me interject," said Qin Hengyan, "there is no such link."

"Hu Lingyu!" Lu Qi over there suddenly said.

Hu Lingyu quickly ran over without thinking about it, and Lu Qi squatted on the side of the statue on the left wall, looking down at the ground.

There is a gap of about one meter between the statue and the wall, and on the ground with this gap of one meter, there are messy footprints and a place with significantly less dust than other places.

Lu Qi looked around, finally picked up a stone from the corner, and threw it towards the place with less dust.

"Clap."

Stones fell to the ground.

But in the next second, the ground suddenly disappeared, as if a black hole-like mouth suddenly opened.The stone fell suddenly, and the ground closed up again, without making any sound during the whole process.

Hu Lingyu was stunned for a long time, and then it rang and the communication was still maintained. He lowered his head and wanted to speak again, but the bracelet was already dark.

He clicked immediately, but the lit touch screen showed that the call was over.

Tried to contact again, failed.

But this time it was no longer no one answered, but the wristband showed that there was no communication signal.

How can it be?It was fine just now...

...

Hu Lingyu didn't believe in evil, and wanted to try again, but was held down by Lu Qi.

"The signal has been blocked." The sika deer said with certainty.

Hu Lingyu was puzzled, because the bracelet is different from the commonly used mobile phones, and uses another signal transmission mechanism: "Even if they find out that we use the bracelet to communicate, can they immediately find a targeted shielding device?"

Lu Qi looked at the closed piece of ground again, his eyes gradually darkened: "If this is a stronghold, there is no need to look for it temporarily."

The hiding place naturally prepared all means to deal with emergencies.

At the same time, the village ground.

The four attendants and Qin Hengyan stared wide-eyed at the bracelet that had lost communication and could no longer be contacted.

Ma Qianqian: "No signal?"

Wang Yanning: "Fuck, it's not an examination room, even the signal needs to be blocked?"

Zhang Hu: "What I want is this kind of extreme experience that you can't answer every day, the earth doesn't work, and no one will come to save you if you yell out your throat."

Zhao Sheng: "You and Wei Qing are really..."

"We didn't do it." Qin Hengyan, who had been quiet all this time, really didn't want to continue to take the blame.

The fourth follower looked at the tall but modest vice president: "Huh?"

Qin Hengyan said seriously: "Completely losing contact is the most dangerous for outdoor community activities, and it is impossible for us to do so."

Zhang Hu: "Then what's going on?"

"Did the fox just say that there is danger here?" Ma Qianqian, who was belatedly aware, looked around the desolation.

Qin Hengyan decisively suggested: "Let's withdraw."

Wang Yanning glanced at him contemptuously: "Senior, I didn't mean you, you are so tall and big, why are you so timid?"

"I'm not afraid if it's a human being," Qin Hengyan reiterated, "but if..."

"Okay, okay, don't explain, there is no shame in admitting cowardice." Ma Qianqian patted him on the shoulder.

Zhang Hu asked, "Then what shall we do now?"

"Let's withdraw." Zhao Sheng thought for a while, but still felt safe.

Wang Yanning frowned: "Why don't you..."

Zhao Sheng: "There is no good end for those who are stubborn in horror movies."

A word to awaken the dreamer.

Wang Yanning: "Leave immediately, withdraw immediately!"

The five people reached an agreement, and immediately prepared to return the same way, but at this moment, there was a strange smell in the air.

Ma Qianqian sniffed, smelled it carefully, and almost felt nauseous: "What's the smell, so disgusting?"

The four cats with a keen sense of smell smelled it all, and even Qin Hengyan frowned.

Fishy, ​​smelly, unpleasant smell, faintly, seemingly absent.

nearby.

The five people followed the direction of the smell and finally came to a well.

The head of the well was pressed against a large stone slab, and the smell leaked from the gap between the stone slab and the edge of the well.

Now that they are getting closer, the smell is still faint and not strong.

The four attendants looked at each other in blank dismay, but no one dared to reach out.

Barren villages, ancient wells, the elements don't have to be so complete.

Qin Hengyan was also a little nervous, but he still asked them for advice: "Do you want to push it away?"

Just after laughing at others, the four big cats are always not good at slapping themselves, and the old saying goes: "Look, they are all here..."

Qin Hengyan took a deep breath, and slowly pushed the stone slab away by himself.

With a muffled "bang", the stone slab fell from the mouth of the well to the ground.

The five covered their mouths and noses, gathered together and looked down.

The gloomy light of the day penetrated into the bottom of the dry well, where several animal carcasses were piled up, as if due to the cold weather, there was no obvious decay.
