Chapter Eleven: Hebo God
Although Baigongshan Hotel is deserted, it does not look old. In fact, it is indeed not very old. It has only been almost twenty years since its establishment to the present.
As early as the years when the hotel started to operate, the old man was still a young manager who had unlimited expectations and was full of enthusiasm.
He had a very beautiful niece, and his parents didn't want her to do farm work. It happened that the hotel was short of staff at the beginning of its establishment, so the old man arranged her in to be a leisurely hotel front desk.
However, the developer's investment in this plot was obviously a failure. After a while of the craze in the early stage, few people were interested in Baigongshan Hotel, just like now. It was boring for the little niece to stay alone at the front desk all day, so she went out to get some airflow from time to time. In this vast Gobi Desert, the only attractions that can be wandered for a while are Baigongshan and Tosu Lake.
On the day when she had an accident, there were no unnecessary staff in the hotel, as now. For some reason, Tosu Lake suddenly surged. The old man called and specifically told his niece not to run around. But after answering the call, the family never contacted her again and never heard her voice again.
At first, everyone thought it was a "black disappearance" case. There was no such advanced surveillance at that time, and no witness in the hotel knew what happened at that time. In short, the little niece was gone and the surging lake water was calm.
After many years of annoyance, similar things happened again, and this time it happened under the old man's nose. A girl who came to travel insisted on taking videos by the Tosu Lake, which caused a tide, but she was gone. When the lake level calmed down, the old man suddenly remembered that the girl had not returned to the hotel overnight and knocked on her door. It turned out that there was no one!
He immediately ran to the lakeside to find someone, but only found the video recorder that was thrown away far away.
The little prince wanted to see the precious video on the night of the incident, but unfortunately, the old man said that the video had been taken away by someone else.
That video was also the reason why he felt fear when he talked about the ghosts at the bottom of the lake. The camera of the traveling girl first nagged at herself and said a lot of opening remarks. Then when she pointed the camera at the surging Tosu Lake, the waves suddenly rushed towards her like a big claw!
The video recorder fell from her hand, and it was photographed that its owner fell to the ground, struggling desperately, and was dragged into the bottom of the lake by a "ghost" full of water.
The unlucky girl's body did not float up either. Only then did the old man know what his niece had encountered on the night she disappeared.
Several of us who knew the inside story exchanged glances with each other. The "ghost" under the Tosu Lake is actually a mermaid. The reason why people are trapped at the bottom of the lake is actually the precious freshwater lens body. We cannot tell all the reasons to the tearful old man, and he can't understand it even after he talks about it.
The two girls who had encountered misfortune didn't know how they looked at the bottom of the lake. Did they all turn into frozen corpses under the ice palm of the male mermaid?
"Little niece, traveling girl, Little Liuyi..."
Brother Mouse calculated by his fingers: "There is a pervert under the lake? How can you just catch these beautiful little girls? Fortunately, there are no people in the wilderness nearby, otherwise I wouldn't know how many little girls will suffer..."
"Is He Bo God?" The little prince grabbed a handful of bald heads, "Take the young girl in the lake, isn't He Bo God just likes to do this?"
"I kill sheep and sacrifice to the lake every year, but still... Hebo God only wants human sacrifice, and someone is gone like this."
"In addition to these three, there are still?"
"That incident just passed...you should know that person too."
We looked at each other and then shouted in unison:
"Song Dana?!"
In the interview minutes of Adjutant Li, it was clearly missing that the manager of Baigongshan Hotel reacted very violently after learning that we were friends of Song Dana. He once said that they killed a person here. We never thought that this person who was "killed" was actually a woman!
"No matter how I persuaded them, they didn't listen. I gave my little niece an example. They insisted on doing that!" The old man was very excited. Chao Wendao was very obedient and handed him a cup of tea to moisten his throat. "What do you say, "try it," but it turned out that girl was really thrown away. She was killed by them in groups!"
"They already knew about Hebo God in advance, and then deliberately wanted to use a girl to 'try'?"
Adjutant Li quickly moved the pen again. He was very sensitive to capture the clues that the old man could reveal in his words. He waited until the old man poured a large cup of tea, pushed a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and suddenly the topic changed:
"That video tape is the one you picked up from that tourist. It was bought by Song Dana?"
The old man sighed and nodded.
Only then did I understand what the vanguards who were looking for the shopkeeper did during the week's stay. They learned the deep secret of Tosu Lake and saw the figure of "Hebo God" from the video tape. They sacrificed a woman as a human sacrifice, and then followed the clues on her body, with the scuba that she had finally bought, and dived to the bottom of the lake to meet the secret below.
With the mermaids and the strange things from the mermaid city in the South China Sea, I had to think of their mother - the female Donggong.
Or, in this western region, we can already distinguish them from each other and call them "The Queen Mother of the West".
Is this the connection between Tosu Lake and Baigong Mountain and the master of Kunlun?
The old man in the hotel remembered the past, and was both upset and sad. We saw that he couldn't stand steadily, so we quickly helped him back to his room to rest.
"Wurile...Wurile, I'm sorry for you! You're still so young!"
Wurile? I listened to the name of this little niece he was muttering. It sounded like a very quiet girl of Mongolian descent. If we still had the opportunity to follow Song Dana and others' route and sneak back to the bottom of the lake, would we still see Wurile's body, or would she still be a sealed frozen corpse?
"Little girl, please change a room, this door is broken... Moreover, the room you live in is not auspicious." The old man who had already walked into the corridor stopped and kindly explained to me, "I don't want to see you, I'll disappear, change a room!"
As I heard this, I felt a chill coming from under the bed. I hurriedly chased me out and asked, "What do you mean? Why do you have to change rooms... Could it be that the girls who had the accident before also lived in this room?"
The old man nodded.
The little prince made a quick decision. As soon as he saw the old man off, he immediately carried my suitcase and transferred me to their room-
Although the room in this hotel is haunted, or the existence of some kind of curse here is feudal superstition, we still have to try our best to avoid all possible dangers. When the captain comes back tomorrow, we must all welcome him safely!
The long night had not passed, so we moved to the room next door. A few people slept on the floor and fell asleep. Chao Wendao was afraid of the story of "farmer and snake" again. He was very aggrieved and hurried to the small corner in front of the door and fell asleep. I opened my eyes wide and was actually very tired. After all, the life-and-death scene during the day was too thrilling, and tomorrow, we might encounter something else.
But I dare not sleep anymore.
That repetitive nightmare is actually a memory hidden deep in my brain. With the experience of reappearing the dream in Yuling, I no longer need to question the authenticity of all the pictures in the dream.
At the last moment of leaving the Mermaid City, I met my grandfather with the little scissors in Yuling. The stuttering sentences he said to me, such as "The little evening courtyard hatched", indirectly confirmed the secret of my life experience that Dongdong told me-
I was born from Liu Wanting, a water-borne fetus.
Liu Jianguo took Liu Wanting to Yuling for delivery twenty years ago. The first nightmare I saw was my birthplace, the dark and damp cave, the yellow paper dancing with the fire, the viscous and black nutrient solution in the coffin, all the memories I saw after I was born as an independent body, so in my dream, I was almost in the same perspective as Liu Wanting, and later I could see her appearance again.
The growth of aquatic fetus cannot be separated from nutrient solution, which is why my adoptive father and biological mother chose Yuling as the production location. So in Delingha's dream, the touch of the skin wrapped in the nutrient solution in the pipes that I felt should be a real memory!
Thinking of this, goose bumps all over my body stood up again. Half dreams and half awake, the huge echo roar of the pipes that were advancing from afar sounded again. I was a little suffocated, and they were about to swallow me again.
"What are you doing with toss and turns? Dwarf snake? Still can't sleep?"
He asked me in a low voice at the door.
I suddenly opened my eyes, his voice was very clear, and several teammates who were on the floor were also snoring, and I was not asleep at all!
But... but the sound of something flowing in this pipe is still there!
"What a god... Brother Dao, you... go and call that old man back!"
I sat upright, looking at my companions who were awakened by me in fear, then pointed to the wall facing the bedside behind me and said:
"This wall is shared with the room I used to sleep in. Both sides of the bedside face it. Maybe you can't hear it, but I know there is something hidden in this wall!"
