Haunted Places Live

The village slaughtered by Lynch was named Liuhua Village, and there was only one dirt road leading into the village, which was difficult to open to traffic.It took Chu Yang a lot of money to persuade a farmer to pull him over with a tractor.The farmer refused to enter the village, but agreed to wait outside the village.He said that the village was very fierce, and anyone who went there would be in bad luck.

Chu Yang came by himself, the smaller the number, the less likely it is to startle the snake.Lynch should have left there long ago, and some of his followers had already withdrawn, so he predicted that he would be in no danger.

Carrying a cello on his back and a simple suitcase, he trudged through the muddy road.It is early summer now, and the mountain was originally covered with thick green grass and trees, but from one kilometer away from the village, all the trees have withered, and the leaves that fell from the dead wood piled up on the ground in a thick layer, It exudes a fishy and rotten damp smell.

Chu Yang wiped the sweat from his forehead, raised his head, and saw several houses in the distance.

There is a notice board at the gate of the village, posted by the town police station, warning outsiders not to enter Liuhua Village.However, there was only one yellowed notice, and there was not even a guard.

It is said that when people found out that the village had an accident after the incident, they saw a scene of hell.The villagers seemed to have gone crazy at the same time, cutting and killing each other, and even biting each other as if they had rabies.There was a woman who choked to death on her mother-in-law's flesh.There was blood everywhere on the walls and on the ground. On the only road in the village lay an old man whose abdomen had been cut open with a kitchen knife. His heart and liver organs were all gone, but he was the head of the village.

Those who saw this scene either vomited or passed out directly.Later, the police came, and after some investigation, it was found that everyone was killed by people in their own village, and even relatives killed each other.But there were no children among the dead, all the children were missing, and several women seemed to be missing as well.After careful investigation, it was found that those missing women were all missing persons in some big cities and nearby towns.

If it weren't for the elders to suppress the matter in time, I am afraid that more can be found out.Chu Yang went to visit several families of missing persons. It turned out that the longest of those girls had been missing for 20 years, and she was a young girl when she disappeared.A few days later, strange things happened again. Several daughters who had been missing for more than ten years suddenly appeared outside the house, holding one or two children by the hand.

Gradually, Chu Yang began to understand what kind of village this was.He had heard before that in some isolated mountain villages, sons were preferred over girls, and all boys were born, and because the family lived in such a poor environment, it was impossible to marry a wife.So these villages teamed up with some human traffickers to develop an industrial chain of human trafficking.Some peasant households and their families pool together money to buy a woman who will serve several men at the same time and bear children for them.Once these women are arrested, they will first be tied up in the house, and they will "consummate the house" on the same day.In the first year or even several years, they were locked in an airtight house like livestock. No matter how much they begged or resisted, it was of no use. They could only be ruined by men who had no idea of ​​their own evil.It wasn't until one day that they became pregnant and gave birth to a child that they might be released from that dark prison.Usually at this point, their desire to escape is gradually exhausted, and they can only keep their numb eyes open, forgetting the happy life they once had, and living in this mountain village.

Chu Yang wandered around the village and became more and more sure of his speculation.He saw rooms with nailed windows, and even scratches from old fingernails on the door panels on the walls.I also found some personal belongings belonging to big cities, which were extremely inconsistent with the environment here, and were stored in the depths of the box.

So... Lynch is punishing those involved in the trafficking of women?

Lynch's previous actions also seem to have the meaning of "punishing villains", especially group crimes, and they are not limited to domestic.Usually his principle is not to harm minors and victims under the age of 16, but the rest of the people, as long as they participate in the persecution of a specific group, will be "punished" by him in some way.

He seems to have a deep hatred for mass crimes.

Chu Yang contacted him as Edgar.Asher.The last battle where Lin disappeared - the Dunkirk retreat.Could this hatred have something to do with World War II?

The more he investigated, the more curious he became about Lynch.

And he suspected that Lynch was not the only one who came to this village, maybe he already had some followers.According to the information given to him by Antonio, Lynch's stigmata are the color of the stars, but in the village, Chu Yang found traces left by other holy races.For example, the footprints of the flying hydra, such as the slime left by Migo.

It was getting late, and he hurriedly left the village to find the farmer who was waiting for him outside the village.But he was shocked to find that the farmer had already left, leaving him in this closed village that didn't even have a mobile phone signal.

Fortunately, the mobile phone of the Presbyterian Church can still get in touch with the outside world, and he sent a message for help to the nearest Presbyterian stronghold.As a result, the stronghold was extremely busy receiving three mages from the Holy Flame Department, and there was no manpower available for a while, and it would take four hours to send someone to pick him up.Counting the time on the road, I'm afraid it will be early in the morning.

Chu Yang didn't want to stir up trouble because of himself, so he didn't call in foreign aid from a further base, and planned to wait at the entrance of this deserted village that became more gloomy as the sky darkened.He brought some compressed biscuits with him, and there was enough water, so he found a broken chair and sat at the entrance of the village, biting hard biscuits, watching the sunset and the tired birds returning to their nests.

The biscuits are so hard to swallow, it is inevitable to choke.Chu Yang choked as he was eating, beat his chest hard with his hands, and quickly drank water to wash down the biscuits.As a result, he choked on the water again, coughed so hard that his nose and tears flowed down his face.He was very glad that he was the only one here at this time, otherwise he would lose all face.

However, he heard a chuckle that seemed to be uncontrollable.

The hair on the back of Chu Yang's neck stood up, and he immediately stood up and asked, "Is anyone there?"

For a while, no one responded.

Is it your own delusion?

He frowned, and let his perception extend to the surroundings, but he didn't find anything suspicious.

But he still had a weird intuition that someone was watching him.And his instincts were always right.

"Who's there? Come out!" he said, untying the cello.

His instincts were right, there were indeed a pair of eyes watching him.

Lynch had noticed the Presbyterian investigator since two weeks ago.

Over the years, the Four Holy Sees tried to catch him more than once, and sent people to investigate him more than once.There was nothing noteworthy at first.At the beginning, he didn't think there was anything noteworthy about this seemingly wooden cellist investigator, but his subordinates and informants in various cities would still dutifully report to him any suspicious person investigating him.This man named Chu Yang didn't even try to hide his whereabouts, so he was very conspicuous.

Lynch began to think that he might be a little bit interesting. He heard the reports from his subordinates that Chu Yang went door to door and visited the homes of all the trafficked women in that village.First of all, those women were all secretly sold into the mountains. Without a name, it is impossible to have a household registration. It is very difficult to match them with the missing persons.But this Chu Yang was very patient, and started with some families that had been confirmed by the police station.After finally finding a "lost and recovered" trafficked woman, he went further to find out the names and addresses of more other victims.He visited all the homes of more than 30 victims, asking them carefully about how they were kidnapped and what happened in the village that day.

Generally speaking, the investigators sent by the Holy See are only interested in Lynch's whereabouts, and they don't have so much obsession with the cause and effect.

Later, this Chu Yang actually began to investigate the disappearance of personnel in the Dunkirk battle, and even applied for a lot of concentration camp information from the Presbyterian stronghold in Germany.

This made Lynch a little... uncomfortable.

He didn't know how Chu Yang deduced that he had been in a concentration camp based on the information he had...

Chu Yang spent a month searching for these trivial information before finally coming to this mountain village.Lynch became curious about what he looked like, so he quietly came to the village, hid behind the window, and watched him walk awkwardly along the dirt road alone with a cello on his back and a suitcase in front of him.Chu Yang's appearance is considered good, but he has seen a lot of good-looking people, so it's not unusual to have such a handsome face with a little blandness.Unexpectedly, he was not as thin as expected, but he was far from being strong.His eyes are not too sharp, even a little gloomy, but when he rummages through things, he has an unhurried persistence.

In the evening, the fool realized that the farmer hadn't waited for him at all.Who told him to pay all the money at once instead of paying half of the deposit first.The farmer has already taken the money, so who would honestly wait for him where he is.As for whether he would be alone in this ghost village deep in the mountains and have nowhere to ask for help, people who met by chance would not think about it.

The flowers in the greenhouse don't know the sinister human nature.

This Chu Yang was not in a hurry, he moved a chair and sat at the entrance of the village, eating biscuits comfortably while watching the scenery.

He didn't intend to let Chu Yang discover him. After all, if he was discovered, he would lose face too.But when Chu Yang choked on the biscuit first and then the water, he couldn't hold back.

God knows how long it has been since he laughed from the bottom of his heart.

So when Chu Yang repeatedly asked, "Who's there?", he hesitated for a moment, but still pushed the door open and went out.

When Chu Yang heard the movement, he turned his head, then widened his eyes and opened his mouth slightly.

The first reaction was not fear, but pure surprise.

Then, as if he had realized something, he took a step back and grabbed the cello tightly.It was obviously a threatening posture, but in Lynch's eyes, it was like a vigilant little animal, "Lynch."

Lynch skillfully raised his aristocratic and elegant smile, and said with a slight familiarity in his tone, "I heard you're looking for me?"
