This is not a weird story

Wei An opened the door to the lobby where the coffins were placed. The oil lamp on the innermost table swayed as the door opened, but the flame soon became stable.

The old woman followed him into the lobby and came to Old Man Xia's coffin.

Wei An glanced outside the door and asked, "You didn't bring a coffin?"

The old woman did not answer, but slowly walked aside and pushed open the lid of Old Man Xia's coffin. The force was so strong that Wei An's pupils shrank slightly.

He immediately reached out to catch the sliding lid of the coffin, otherwise the lid might break if it fell to the ground.

After finally carefully placing the coffin lid on the ground, the old woman had already pulled out Old Man Xia's body and spoke while placing it on the ground.

"A person who has been miserable all his life, how can he have a coffin after his death? We can't afford it. We can't afford it."

After laying Old Man Xia down on the ground, the old woman pulled out an old piece of cloth that she had prepared a long time ago from under her raincoat. Although this gray old cloth was a little older, fortunately it was not damaged.

Wrapping Old Man Xia's body in an old cloth and tying it tightly from top to bottom, the old woman dragged her head directly and walked towards the door tremblingly.

Wei An was going to help. If that didn't work, he could help the old woman carry Old Xia directly to the wooden cart parked outside.

But when she bent down, the old woman immediately stopped her. It was obvious that this eccentric old man did not want to be favored by anyone.

It took some time to drag Old Man Xia's body to the gate of Yizhuang.

The old woman exerted all her strength and dragged Old Man Xia to the trolley. She held on to the trolley to catch her breath for a while, then pushed the body away with three jerky steps.

The figure quickly disappeared in the jungle.

The drizzle in the sky seemed to be getting heavier at this moment.

After Wei An watched the figure disappear completely, he was about to close the door.

But at the moment when the door was closed, he squinted his eyes and glanced quietly in another direction in the forest. The door was quickly closed, but there was an extra pebble in the crack of the door, which was stuck in the middle of the crack, making it difficult to detect.

This makes the gap in the closed door wider than before.

I went back to the lobby and checked, especially the consumption of the oil lamp.

Wei An sighed inwardly, since someone was collecting the corpse, he no longer had to bury Old Man Xia in a mass grave at midnight.

Go back to your room and wait.

Time passed by, during which time he squinted for a while, and when he woke up he felt refreshed, as if he had slept all night.

After changing the incense, I sat back on the bench under the lantern outside my residence. I picked up the workbook out of boredom and prepared to write down what happened that day.

Wei An flipped through page after page. When he turned to the last page of the second participant's record, he suddenly noticed something strange. He carefully smoothed the space between the two pages and found that there were some uneven edges and corners sticking out. .

After touching it, Wei An was sure that a page had been torn out.

It seems that the second participant also wrote something during this strange story task, but it was torn up.

The content on this page may be important.

Wei An thought about it for a moment and came to the conclusion that the person who tore this piece off might be the third participant, the person who stayed in Yizhuang before him.

Why did he tear up this piece of paper from his workbook? What is written on the paper?

Wei An was puzzled.

And he also had a guess, could his previous participant be Binbin's father who took one of the coffin nails?

But Binbin's father should be a character in this strange plot, and cannot be a participant.

Could it be that someone has replaced Binbin's father, or that there is an overlap between the two characters for some reason, and a phenomenon that I can't know at the moment has occurred, causing this person to be able to "lock the door" in the first one? Appears in missions, and can also appear in this "Yizhuang" mission.

As a participant, at least this is the case for me now.

While thinking, Wei An raised his head and glanced in the direction of the main door through the dark passage.

The third update has arrived.

Wei An walked through the passage on the side of the hut with ease and started patrolling the entire lobby.

This time, there was one less dead person in the lobby, and he felt that the burden on his body seemed to be much lighter. When passing by the door, he leaned towards the crack of the door and took a look inside through the kerosene lamp that was always burning in the lobby.

Everything is business as usual.

He had checked the lamp oil before and found it was still sufficient to last until dawn.

Just as Wei An was about to look back, he suddenly saw five slender, white fingers stretching out from above the coffin belonging to Liu Hongmei, which had a three-finger-wide gap exposed.

"This woman...has transformed into a corpse?!" Wei An was shocked.

He immediately withdrew his gaze and did not take a closer look, because according to the "Instructions", whenever something unusual happens in the lobby during night patrol, do not look at it or take care of it, otherwise there will be endless trouble.

Although Liu Hongmei died violently, she didn't know how she died. It was just that her entire face was swollen and her head was severely bruised, but her body and limbs were pale, creating a strong contrast between the top and bottom.

Wei An suspected that she had been strangled to death, but her body was a little shrunken and it didn't feel like it.

He withdrew his gaze and left immediately, walked around to the left side of the lobby, and entered the dim passage.

During this process, the coffin lid could be heard banging in the lobby.

Just when Wei An entered the passage, the temporary lobby door where the coffin was placed suddenly creaked and was opened.

Wei An was familiar with this sound and stopped in his tracks when he heard it.

Soon he heard the sound of soft footsteps coming out after the lobby door opened.

Wei An didn't hesitate, and immediately sped up in the direction of his residence, and the footsteps walking out of the lobby came straight to this passage, and they sounded very fast.

Wei An was still in the dim passage at this time, and he started trotting directly.

The footsteps behind him were rustling, as if they were walking, running, or jumping, which was extremely weird.

Although he was very curious, Wei An would never look back. As the sound quickly approached, he had already run to the bright lantern outside his room.

Of course, if he could fight back, he might have taken out his weapon and smashed the guy chasing him to pieces, but he definitely couldn't do this now, otherwise the mission would fail.

Maybe it's because the lantern above his head has a deterrent effect, or maybe it's because his room forms a boundary like a quilt.

After Wei An entered the residence, the thing that chased into the passage stopped moving forward, but seemed to have been standing there, motionless in the darkness.

After closing the door, Wei An lay down behind the door and looked out through the crack in the door, but the passage was too dark to see clearly.

So he put on "Liu Gui's Eyeballs" and looked over again. He immediately saw Liu Hongmei's gray figure standing in the passage, staring straight in this direction.

Her swollen head felt much bigger, out of proportion to her frail body. She stood expressionless in the darkness, which was extremely strange.

At this moment, Wei An didn't hear a slight noise suddenly coming from the direction of the Yizhuang gate. It was a strong and slender wooden stick extending from the crack of the door, pressing the door bolt, and moving the door bolt aside. The sound of movement.

Wei An didn't hear it, but Liu Hongmei, who was in the dark passage, heard it clearly. She turned her swollen head stiffly, made a gurgling sound in her mouth, turned towards the door, and then turned around as if she was jumping. , the body floated away.
