Before nineteen o'clock in the evening, the sky was covered with ink, and all the sounds of animals were swallowed up by this thick darkness.
Even the domestic dogs raised by the villagers in Longshanji have no chance of survival in this darkness.
As if dead.
In the square, firewood as thick as an arm was added to the bonfire.
The bonfire is burning brightly.
The villagers tried their best to stay close to the bonfire, hoping that the light would bring them a slight sense of security.
However,
Even if the burning flames are several meters high, the light emitted by the bonfire seems insignificant and dangerous under the oppression of darkness.
The darkness has not been dispelled,
Instead, it became shadowy.
Clay statues emerged from the darkness one by one, quietly 'surrounding' all the villagers in the square, and moved at an extremely slow speed, getting closer to the villagers in the center of the square, exposing themselves to the sight of the villagers.
An aunt in her forties hugged her little niece and looked up to see the clay statue appearing in the darkness.
She shuddered, and the innocent smile on the face of the clay statue became terrifying in her eyes.
The aunt didn't dare to look at the statue. She first covered her niece's eyes, then lowered her head and looked at her toes, muttering to herself: "Guanyin Bodhisattva bless us, Tathagata Buddha bless us, the Jade Emperor bless us...
…”
She muttered for a while,
In about thirty to fifty seconds, it suddenly disappeared without a trace.
without warning,
Don't give people any psychological preparation.
The people around her only had time to glance over at her, and saw her disappear with her little niece with a 'swish'!
"Another—someone is missing again!"
"Aunt Zhou and her niece are missing!"
Panic spread among the crowd.
Low sobs could be heard from the crowd, and the depressed and depressed mood was spreading wantonly as villagers continued to disappear.
"We can't survive tonight, there's nothing we can do..."
"Woo, I don't want to die here!"
"My mother has disappeared. Mom, I miss you so much..."
Listening to the constant whispers from the crowd, Wei He, Accountant Li and others were filled with great despair, and they all looked at Su Wu and Yun Nichang, who were still listening to the report of the two Taoist priests Yunlong.
Now all their hopes are pinned on these two people.
Someone couldn't help but feel angry and urged Su Wu: "What exactly did you find? Are you still saved? Let's talk about it!"
Are you going to sit and watch everyone here disappear?!"
“More and more clay statues appeared in the darkness. At first, only one clay statue appeared. Now, clay statues have begun to appear in different directions in the square.
Now there are ten to twelve mud tires..." Xie Yunqing's face was covered with sweat. He felt huge pressure on his shoulders and his heart was full of suffering.
This feeling of being able to only watch the villagers disappear without being able to do anything filled him with a sense of frustration.
He reported to Su Wu and Yun Nishang while looking at their expressions.
Yun Nishang's face was solemn. Looking at her expression, it was inevitable that people would have the feeling of 'a disaster is coming' or 'the end is coming'.
And Su Wu...
Su Wu looked cold.
The expression has always been the same from the beginning until now.
There is no change at all.
On the contrary, his cold demeanor made Xie Yunqing suddenly feel relieved.
"From the beginning to now, thirteen people have disappeared.
Everyone disappeared shortly after seeing the clay statue." Su Wu's mind quickly flashed back to the situation reported by Xie Yunqing, the old Taoist priest and others.
"The first person with a specific description of the disappearance was the mother and daughter.
The daughter brought back a clay fetus and showed it to her mother.
The mother felt that this thing was unlucky, so she threw the mud tire into the grass outside the square. As she turned around and walked back,
She and her daughter disappeared together."
"The second one with a specific description is the bachelor Han Xiao Dequan.
When he saw the mud tires, he yelled in fright and hid in the crowd. After a while, someone asked him what he had found, and he disappeared without a trace."
"The third……"
Before Su Wu finished speaking, he was interrupted by the villager who just urged him: "What's the use of saying this?!
This is not a meeting where you can summarize your work with a cup of tea in hand!
This is a time of life and death!
How can you still-"
"Shut up!"
Su Wu suddenly turned his head and stared at the young villager: "If you want everyone here to survive, then shut your mouth!
Every bullshit you say now will reduce the chance of survival of everyone here by 1% because of your bullshit!
clear?!"
His tone was cold, but the information revealed in his words rekindled the hope of those around him who heard his words.
This person - actually said that as long as 'Xiao Quanying' talks less, everyone here can survive?!
There is no need for Su Wu to say anything more,
The villagers took action themselves, covering the mouth of the young man "Xiao Quanying" who kept interrupting the conversation between Su Wu and others, and dragged him behind.
Many people's eyes were attracted by Su Wu's words.
When Su Wu saw the villagers looking at him one after another, the expression on his face remained unchanged and he said directly: "I have experienced many strange incidents.
In the weird events I experienced, no one was killed by the weird ones without leaving any traces or corpses!
Therefore, I personally feel that those who are missing are not necessarily dead.
They may still be alive.
If you can cooperate with me well and follow my suggestions, you will not have to die, and those who disappeared may return to their families!"
Su Wu's tone was cold,
But it contains a powerful force that instantly inspires people's hearts.
Obviously he hasn't really started to solve the mystery yet, but people seem to have seen the mystery being solved and his family reunited around him.
Some people couldn't help crying with joy.
Su Wu looked at these people and continued his summary: "All the missing persons with specific descriptions chose to escape immediately after seeing the clay statue.
Or throw away the idol,
Or hide in the crowd,
Or close your eyes and recite some words.
No one faces the statue of God head-on - I personally think that this weird law that makes people disappear is probably - when it appears in someone's field of vision, someone does not dare to look at it for more than a certain period of time.
Then someone will disappear immediately!"
As soon as this statement came out,
The villagers didn't react yet, but Yun Nishang stood up suddenly, and she looked at Su Wu with brilliant eyes: "I agree with Mr. Su's opinion!
This is probably the strange pattern of people disappearing!"
Just now, she was listening to the report of Xie Yunqing and others, and there was always a flash of inspiration in her mind, but she couldn't catch it.
At this time, once Su Wu Dao was broken,
She suddenly became enlightened!
Mr. Su is a very powerful person. He has the power to calm people's hearts. He is calm during major events and is good at observing and summarizing——
Talents like Mr. Su are simply born decision-makers. If they are in the Weird Countermeasures Department, they will often be promoted to the position of district captain!
There are actually such outstanding talents among the folk trick masters!
Yun Nishang was already unknowingly impressed by Su Wu's ability. She was originally the leader of the rescue mission for the villagers in Longshan Village.
At this time, I was willing to give up my position,
I decided to let Su Wu be the decision-maker and just implement his decision myself.
When solving weird incidents, there is no room for fighting for power and intrigue. Once internal fighting increases in weird incidents, the chance of capsizing will skyrocket.
However, the fight for power and intrigue will always continue to happen - especially since the new leader of the Countermeasures Department has been replaced, there have been more and more such things.
Isn't the fight between Yun Nishang and the two 'students' a disturbance derived from the changes in the superstructure?
Fortunately, now there are only two people, myself and Mr. Su, guiding this incident.
Doing things can be much more enjoyable.
She was secretly glad in her heart.
Wei He, Accountant Li and other more prestigious people in the village looked at each other in confusion.
All their thoughts were focused on how to resist the weirdness, but they ignored many details, and they never thought that the original method of avoiding the weirdness was hidden in these details!
The villagers' eyes lit up as they listened to Su Wu's words.
"In other words, if you see those clay statues again, you shouldn't subconsciously avoid them, but you should look at them and stare at them?" Huang Taoist murmured to himself.
"right."
Su Wu said slowly: "Next time if someone encounters a clay statue, I suggest you keep an eye on it and don't relax for a moment.
In addition, inform me of the news that you saw the clay statue as soon as possible!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a villager shouted in panic: "Here I am! I have a clay statue here. I'm staring at him. Come quickly!"
"I have it here too!"
"There are two here too!"
Suddenly, more than ten villagers spoke out, saying that they had seen the clay statue.
They came from different directions, and Su Wu couldn't observe that many by himself.
"Take a few bolder young people and take charge of heading east and north to the villagers who found the clay statues. Pay attention to their situation, verify whether the strange pattern is true, and spread the news in a timely manner.
If you also see the clay statue, don’t relax your vigilance.
You must always look at it - maybe if you avoid it for more than half a minute, it will take you away.
My mobile phone number is 1xxxx..., call me immediately if anything happens." Su Wu lowered his head and looked at Yun Nishang and gave her instructions.
Yun Nishang immediately wrote down her mobile phone number,
Then three or five young people responded to her and went to the northeast with her, looking for those who saw the clay statue.
The courage of these young people is not necessarily greater when facing strange things.
Or maybe seeing a beautiful woman in front of her suddenly made her bolder.
——They volunteered, perhaps driven by a sense of responsibility to protect the villagers, but part of their motivation came from 'working with beautiful women' themselves.
