Chapter 4: Village vision
Finally, Lin Qiushuang asked the client for the missing person's personal belongings and ended the conversation.
After the client left, other players finally found the opportunity to come over.
"Hello." Wang Ruihao, the man among the couple, couldn't wait to come forward and greet him, "We are tourists here. After we arrived, we heard that something happened on the mountain. I heard that you are a search and rescuer. Can we follow you up the mountain?"
Although this is not particularly rigorous, the group is just trying to find a clear reason for the players to get together.
"Yes, as long as you don't delay my work."
Everyone introduced themselves in a good manner. Yu Yueming, who had nothing to do, glanced at the wall clock on the wall. It was already early 9 o'clock in the morning, and today's investigation time is still abundant.
After checking the route, the players decided to go to the village chief’s house to investigate the situation first, and at the same time, they could also observe the situation in the village along the way.
"The three of us all appeared directly at the entrance of the village." Qi Yuanze rushed to explain the situation. "I just visited the meeting and didn't have time to inquire about anything. However, you can see many tourism-related stalls along the way, and the tourism industry here is indeed very prosperous."
"When it comes to tourism," Lin Qiushuang looked at them, "How much do you know about this attraction? Why did you come to this attraction?"
"It's similar to what I knew before." Wang Ruihao grabbed his head, "Because this is the place to recommend couples, and there is any saying that couples can "be united forever", so we'll come."
Hearing this, everyone's eyes turned to Qi Yuanze.
"What? Can't single dogs come here to travel?" He replied with dissatisfaction, but then immediately turned back to his carefree appearance and explained with a smile, "I, no, I am this identity, I have always been single, so I want to come and ask for fate. It has nothing to do with me, I am very popular myself!"
Yu Yueming walked away silently away from him.
Speaking of which, I had never noticed it before, but after walking for so long, he gradually felt something unusual.
It seemed like a strange smell, but not a specific smell. It seemed like a sense of disgust, but there was no specific direction. Only a certain intuition kept sounding the alarm in his mind, reminding him that something was wrong!
He did not hide it. After discovering it, he immediately passed these ideas to his teammates.
"Smell?" Qi Yuanze sniffed it everywhere, "There is no strange smell. You feel something is wrong just because you are too nervous, right?"
Lin Qiushuang seemed to have thought of something and quickly looked around.
"No, there is something wrong."
She explained in a low voice.
"I only remembered when I saw Yu Yueming. Have you noticed it? Since I came here, I have not seen any signs of cats and dogs in the village.
“For a village, this is very abnormal.
"Maybe, there are really something that humans cannot detect, and that cats and dogs can sense. "
——
Although the abnormality was found, there was only one fake dog in the team, and the source of discomfort was really impossible. The players did not have the idea to continue exploring this point, so they could only go to the village chief’s residence as planned.
The village chief’s house is a three-story self-built house with a small courtyard, and its appearance is a common style in the village. Apart from the slightly larger area, it is not much different from other houses in the village.
Lin Qiushuang stopped not far from the house and looked at her teammates.
"This kind of preliminary investigation is generally not dangerous, it is an opportunity to practice. I will demonstrate to you, but if you have the opportunity, you should take the initiative to try conversations and ask questions and take the opportunity to practice more."
The couple looked a little hesitant. If this was a real scenic spot, such ordinary questions were nothing. The problem was that this was in a weird game. Although everything was normal so far, they had a string in their hearts and did not dare to act rashly.
"I'll do it, I'll do it." Qi Yuanze stood up actively and knocked on the door.
"Who?"
Soon, accompanied by the sound of doubt, an old man with a cane opened the door and looked at the group at the door in confusion. Then he suddenly realized and spoke.
"Young boy, you look at the face and are you tourists, are you? Is there anything wrong?"
His eyes glanced at everyone, and when he saw Yu Yueming blocked behind people, he was suddenly shocked, and staggered backwards and almost fell to the ground.
"Dog?! Where is such a big dog? Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!"
"It's okay, uncle, don't be afraid. This is a search and rescue dog, a working dog! It won't bite people."
Qi Yuanze quickly grabbed the old man, but the old man still waved the crutches on his hand in panic and made an action to drive out the animals.
Yu Yueming was depressed and flew away, but in order not to scare the old man, he still took a few steps away and squatted in the yard.
Seeing the old man calm down a little, Qi Yuanze took the opportunity to ask: "Uncle, are the villagers in this village afraid of dogs? I think dogs are quite common in the countryside..."
"No, it's not that you are afraid of dogs. Alas, let's make you laugh." Seeing the wolf dog squatting outside the door, the old man finally calmed down and explained, "You tourists don't know. There are always dogs brought by tourists here and bite people madly. We should hide when we see them. Be careful outside, don't scare people."
"Don't the village keep a dog?"
"I don't keep it. Oh, it's not a secret. It's okay to tell you. In the past, the dogs raised here easily bite people madly. After the examination, it was not sick. In the end, everyone stopped raising cats. There are also cats. If you bring pets, you have to take care of them. Don't hurt people."
The old village chief picked up a pipe and looked at everyone: "You just said that you were searching for the rescue dog? Did you come for the previous disappearance incident? Come in and talk slowly."
——
Because the village chief was afraid of dogs, Yu Yueming, who was left alone in the yard, yawned boredly.
Suddenly, a tiny sound came from the side. He turned his head and saw a window next to the house quietly opening a crack. Several children squeezed into the window and looked in the direction he was in.
Many children... Yu Yueming didn't care about this scene at first, but after seeing the children's eyes clearly, he suddenly became alert.
That was not the look that a human child should have, but a more complex and abnormal look. It was not the look that any creature he had seen should have.
His ears were pressed back in an instant, his hair exploded, his fangs exposed, and his muscles were tense. It seemed that something was urging him to awaken his hunting nature.
At this moment, the faces of the children seemed to be distorted, and some kind of flowing, distorted, and more abstract image replaced those faces, as if they were demons emerging in the abyss, peeping in the darkness.
Yu Yueming's throat rolled involuntarily, and he lowered his body.
At this moment, a leaf fell on top of his head.
He shook his head reflexively, and the old pendant on the collar shook.
Click!
The window closed in an instant.
Yu Yueming was stunned, his tense body slowly relaxed, and his murderous intent gradually faded.
Chapter completed!
