Chapter 15 Who is...the tenth person?
The sky suddenly became darker at this moment.
The snow also became heavier and kept falling on David's face. At this time, he felt that his skin was about to crack.
However, the coldness of his body is far from being compared with the horror in his heart.
The team members suffered a loss of personnel and were forgotten by everyone. This was not the first time, but the death of the captain was the first time in ten years!
Everyone was completely unaware of that... there was one more person in the team!
But then, David suddenly realized a problem: Since no one realized it, why only he remembered Captain Lin? You must know that David is a team member, not a captain!
"David," at this time, a female team member spoke: "Are you trying to say that Captain Lin has been in this patrol team?"
"Yes..." David nodded quickly, "He has been there until now!"
The female team member thought about it and said to Li Jun: "Captain Li, things are very strange. After all, Captain Lin's disappearance is also very abnormal."
"But there is no problem with counting!" Li Jun said this and suddenly thought of something.
Others also began to think of something.
The Lei San incident that year caused a bloody storm in the village.
"I remember it very clearly," the female team member continued: "When Lei San's patrol team had an extra '10th person', the first one to die was my sister. That was the day after that happened..."
The female team member was named Xia Meng. Her sister Xia Lin did die the second day after the accident in Uncle Lei San's patrol. However, the village chief quickly blocked the news at that time and strictly prohibited everyone from leaking the secrets at the scene.
But the news spread wildly. At that time, David remembered very clearly that several terrifying versions were circulating in the village, one more bizarre than the other, but even so, according to Xia Meng herself, the actual scene was much more terrifying, so that she still had nightmares.
All versions of the rumors have one thing in common: that is, Charlene didn't have a whole body when she died, and she was extremely miserable.
At that time, even with the village chief's prestige, it was difficult to control the spread of rumors. What was even more terrifying than this was that some people discovered that Bai Wu began to continue to spread and expand within the village!
A mysterious murderer appeared in the village, and the white fog began to spread at this time... It was difficult not to associate the two. So, countless villagers began to pray to the temple, praying that the temple could prevent the white fog from continuing to invade the village. Everyone knew that once the white fog poured into the village from all directions, the villagers would have no vitality.
After the out-of-control panic, the village chief could not detect the murderer at all. One very important reason was that the scene of Charlene's death was an extremely standard secret room in a mysterious novel. Who could kill someone and escape in the secret room? Obviously, the answer was self-evident.
Even the patrol team could not stop the white fog from spreading. After a while... someone died again. This time, two people died. The deaths of these two villagers were even more bizarre. Many villagers who went to deal with the scene were so scared that they were no longer looking at each other. No matter who asked, they refused to say what they saw!
At this moment, the news of the tenth person could not be blocked anymore. The villagers blamed the village chief for hiding the news, while some people thought that they had to kill one of the ten people according to the stone tablet to solve everything, so that no one would die in the village and the white fog would continue to spread.
It is difficult to make people rational in the face of panic. Especially when everyone knows that the ten people included the village chief’s son Ge Niancheng, some people think that the village chief blocked the news to protect his son.
Some people said that He Yun was among the ten people. They simply killed He Yun, so that everything could end. So a group of people surrounded the house where He Yun lived, and the scene was out of control. At that time, Lin Tai was ordered by the village chief to maintain order to avoid the escalation of the riots.
finally……
One day.
Uncle Lei San is gone.
Then the spread of the white fog stopped, and the murder in the village ended.
"etc……"
Li Jun immediately became frightened: "David, you mean one of us is mixed in..."
Everyone's faces changed drastically.
If this is true, as the captain, wouldn’t Li Jun have to follow in Uncle Lei San’s footsteps?
The village chief sacrificed Uncle Lei San to stop the disaster and finally regained his prestige. As the captain, Lei San was responsible for this. To be reasonable, everyone could accept it. After all, if Lei San is not dead, anyone may be the next person to be sacrificed.
But if the person who was sacrificed may be himself, that's another matter.
"No, no!" Li Jun rushed to David and grabbed his collar: "You are talking nonsense! No one of us has seen Lin Tai! You are talking nonsense and talking nonsense!"
At this time, another male team member said: "Captain Li, if the white fog starts to spread tomorrow, or an abnormal death occurs in the village, then... David's words will be true."
Li Jun immediately looked at the person who was talking and shouted: "Chang Min, stop me! Stop me! Thinking about that back then, you were one of the people who protected He Yun! If He Yun was killed, would you still need to sacrifice Lei San?"
"He and the doctor saved my dad's life back then! He also showed your dad rheumatoid arthritis!"
"So what if I see it? There is no medicine in the village and it cannot be cured! I can only say something nonsense about keeping warm! It's different for you. He Yun used cardiopulmonary resuscitation to first aid your father and save your father's life. Of course you are grateful to him! Don't forget that he is a murderer!"
"There is no evidence to prove that you are killing someone with a doctor! I don't believe that you are going to do this kind of thing with a doctor!"
"Stop arguing!" Xia Meng shouted: "What can you do to argue now? We have to face the reality... Let's continue patrolling first, and we must end the village around the village before midnight!"
Only then did everyone wake up as if they were dreaming, this was the important thing.
However, a huge shadow has covered their hearts.
Moreover, everyone began to be alert to the other party. Maybe he (she) in front of him is the ghost walking out of the white fog?
Back then, the village held nearly 100 meetings of all sizes in response to Lei San's incident. In the end, the villagers all believed that... the extra "10th person" was an unknown existence that emerged from the white fog.
And at that time, some villagers made a guess.
"Will the tenth man be a... a ghost?"
Yes, ghosts!
The ghosts walking out of the white fog can even completely tamper with people's memory and cognition.
"David, I'll ask you again." Chang Min walked behind David at this time and said, "You're sure... Captain Lin..."
"I'm sure!" David said firmly: "I was hanging on the tree before, and it was Captain Lin who came to save me!"
"How is that possible..." Chang Min quickly shook her head and said, "Captain Li came to save you at that time!"
"ah?"
"And you said before that you suspected that you heard Li Sheng's voice in the white fog? Will this be related?"
"But Brother Lisheng didn't come out of the white mist!"
"What if Li Sheng... becomes a ghost in the white fog?"
"this……"
No accident happened during the following patrol.
I didn't even hear any strange sounds in the fog.
But everyone has a lot of worries.
"Everyone is ready." Li Jun looked at his watch: "Start counting in five minutes."
At this moment, David suddenly woke up like a dream.
"By the way! When I was counting just now, the ninth man spoke after a while!"
"ah?"
"yes!"
"The ninth person... isn't it you? Su Wenqing?"
Su Wenqing looked at the gazes that everyone was casting, and suddenly panicked.
"I, I feel uncomfortable because of my throat! It's normal for such heavy snow to feel uncomfortable? I also reported it later!"
David walked to Su Wenqing and looked at him coldly.
“Isn’t it normal for you to speak now?”
"It's not me... it's really not me! I grew up in the village!"
indeed.
Su Wenqing has hardly left Nanming Village since she was a child.
