Top Horror Novelist

When he saw the outline of the ghost from a distance, before Chi Yiyin could react, Li Sijun had already reached out to block him behind his strong arms, and stood in front of him calmly, ready to block him. Prepare for all attacks.

But just before Li Sijun took any action, Chi Yiyin squinted his eyes, and slowly saw some traces of familiarity in the silhouette under the dark sky.

He was startled, and hastily stretched out his hand to grab Li Sijun's arm, stopping him: "Wait!"

Li Sijun didn't even ask why, he obediently restrained the strong aura that had gradually been exposed, took back half a step forward, and turned to look at Chi Yiyin beside him.

But the hand of the lovely believer who has been protecting it has never been let go, guarding against possible emergencies.

"This man..."

Chi Yiyin frowned slightly, slowly pushed Li Sijun away, walked forward slowly with his long legs, "I know you."

In other words, when he got acquainted with the other party, the other party was no longer a human being.

Li Sijun frowned, and instinctively took half a step forward to protect Chi Yiyin, but in the end he restrained himself and did not interfere with Chi Yiyin's decision, standing quietly on the mountain road, watching Chi Yiyin step by step The figure walking towards the mountain road.

However, he glanced at the monkey next to him, his serious gaze made the monkey who was still eating melons startled, and hurriedly ran forward with both hands and feet, closely following Chi Yiyin, becoming a little knight.

Monkey: It's really hard to eat a melon from the boss's house...

Chi Yiyin had already stopped in front of that figure. The distance between the two was less than one meter. If the other party wanted to hurt him, it would be easy.

But neither Chi Yiyin nor the other party were ready to move, they just looked at each other quietly, like two sculptures standing opposite each other.

At such a close distance, Chi Yiyin can clearly see the other party's peaceful and stable eyebrows, even the wrinkles at the end of the eyes and the smile on the lips are clearly visible.

It was a face he used to be familiar with, but it had been too long since he had thought of it...not of the time they had spent together.

How long?

Probably, since he was dragged into the game field, all his powers were blocked and sealed.

Even though the face could be clearly seen, and even the position of a mole hadn't changed, Chi Yiyin still didn't recognize him immediately, and the shock still remained on his handsome appearance.

Because Chi Yiyin knows very well that the book that once belonged to him... He once walked through the evil land to find and become friends, the inhuman thing that can be called his power, from the moment he entered the game field, it was has been shut out.

The game field and reality should have been independent existences, not interoperable with each other.

Otherwise, there would not be so many players desperate enough to commit suicide, otherwise Chi Yan, the only one who can return to reality, would not be called the strongest.

But now, this seemingly iron rule was easily broken before his eyes.

The scenes between reality and the game field began to overlap and merge with each other, new images and old things gradually alternated.

The two different forces began to rotate from the moment they were observed by the source of power. The huge gears rotated, and the majestic and endless world machine drove towards completely different directions of destiny.

The new system lowered its eyes and stared at this place.

In another time and space, Chi Yan seemed to feel something, and looked up at the sky keenly, thoughtfully.

In the dark, the wind and the clouds are surging, and the waves are stormy.

But on the mountain road, nothing was revealed, and it was still the forest after the heavy rain.

Monkeys carry lanterns, illuminating the wet bluestone slabs, which are reflected in the puddles on the mountain road. Water drops slowly drip from the tips of leaves, and insects chirp softly.

It was the other party who spoke first.

"Student Chi, it's been a long time since we saw each other. It's been a few months. Have you found a new story you like?"

The man smiled, like a teacher teaching juniors, with patience and gentleness that could tolerate everything.

Preaching, teaching, solving doubts.

When a man appears in front of you, you will know that you are included and cared about. No matter what kind of questions you ask, he is willing to answer you patiently and is happy for every progress you make.

Chi Yiyin couldn't help but chuckled: "I didn't expect it was really you."

"Is it because the story of Hakoniwa is related to you? The power blocked by the game field actually let you come here."

Although the man in front of him has the same appearance as a human, if you look closely, you will find that when the monkey raised the lamp, there was no shadow under his feet, and his feet did not land on the ground, but floated in vain above the ground.

He's...a ghost.

It was also the dead professor of folklore that Chi Yiyin met in the mountains when Chi Yiyin was still in reality.

In 1999, the beginning of the whole tragic story.

The stories written by Chi Yiyin are all based on people. Naturally, after understanding the professor's story thoroughly, he wrote him into the book and let him become his own strength.

He originally wanted to let the professor go home, but too much time has passed. When he met the professor and finally brought him out of the deep mountain where he had been trapped for decades, the professor's mother was gradually despairing. While waiting numbly, she closed her eyes with tears.

The professor is not married and has no children. He regards all students as the inheritance of knowledge, and he doesn't care about blood. There is only one mother who can be called a relative.

Now that the old mother has died, the professor stayed with his mother's grave for a long time, and then returned to Chi Yiyin's side, calmly and gently expressing to him that even after death, he still wants to know and explore more secrets of folklore.

By following Chi Yiyin's side, his wish can be fulfilled.

‘There are actually benefits after death, so that you don’t have to sleep and waste time studying and researching. '

At that time, the professor winked at Chi Yiyin and said so.

Chi Yiyin was amused, and also moved by the professor's love for knowledge. He will publish and contribute to the research, archived documents and completed work of many professors, contributing to folklore.

—Of course, in the name of sorting out the professor's posthumous notes.

The signature on the cover, the first and only author, is the name of the professor.

Moreover, through his relationship with the publishing house, Chi Yiyin won many opportunities for the professor to publish and popularize science.

Because of the excellent quality, funny and easy-to-understand text, and the propaganda that has not been lost, when many people outside the industry want to learn about folklore, they will give priority to choosing Chi Yiyin to replace the folklore science books published by the professor.

Even after his death, the professor is still teaching and educating people tirelessly and enjoys it.

As for the light that should belong to the professor, Chi Yiyin also cherished and cared for him.

The professor also likes Chi Yiyin, an informal but most important student, and admires him very much.

When Chi Yiyin's teacher in the mathematics department heard about this incident, he thought that it was because of the influence of his brother's death that he became interested in folklore and defended his brother's teacher's reputation. There is gratitude.

Even his math teacher lamented to him, saying that it was a pity that he would not be a teacher.

But this proposal was declined by Chi Yiyin with a smile.

— Just kidding, how could he bear to teach a bunch of twittering idiots for a long time? It was hell.

During the days when the professor was floating by Chi Yiyin's side, the professor happened to be the professional counterpart to many of the problems and puzzles he encountered in the evil place, and he saw the answers at a glance, which saved Chi Yiyin a lot of trouble and danger.

The professor was also amazed by Chi Yiyin's understanding in the field of folklore, and tried several times to suggest that Chi Yiyin choose another field of folklore.

But Chi Yiyin—'Excuse me, I like mathematics. '

During those few years, the professor often sighed and sighed about this matter, trying to change Chi Yiyin's mind.

Even before entering the Ma family mansion, the professor was still introducing to Chi Yiyin the customs of ghost marriages in that area.

But all of this came to an abrupt end because of the intervention of Chi Yan and the game field.

Chi Yiyin originally thought that he would have to wait until after he left the game field to meet the professor again, but unexpectedly, it was a little earlier.

After confirming that the professor is indeed the professor he knew, not an NPC released from the game field, nor a dungeon effect, Chi Yiyin breathed a sigh of relief, put down his guard, smiled at the professor again, and asked How did the professor come here, and how did he get in.

After all, Chi Yiyin himself couldn't figure it out.

"Hmm...I'll think about it."

And the person who witnessed the whole thing, groaned and rubbed his chin for a long time before hesitatingly said: "Actually, I don't remember much."

Chi Yiyin: "Huh?"

Professor: "...I am old, and I fell asleep for a while."

Chi Yiyin: "Huh—?"

His air pressure gradually decreased, and he was gloomy and cold.

Although there is still only one interrogative word, but the stress is emphasized, but it seems that the rain is about to come.

The professor touched his nose and recalled the terrifying side of this excellent student.

So sometimes, it's not a good thing for a student to be too good—look, he, who should be a teacher, is crushed to death.

The professor didn't show his face, but he still trembled, and then told Chi Yiyin all the things he tried to recall.

It turned out that when Chi Yiyin disappeared in the Ma family mansion, the professor immediately discovered that the other ghosts that Chi Yiyin had included in the book as power also rushed to the mansion immediately, trying to save Chi Yiyin. Yi sound.

But the source of Chi Yiyin's power disappeared.

All the inhuman things he wrote in the book are like leaked balloons. After losing the power from Chi Yiyin, they become words again, as if they never existed.

The professor was also forced to sleep in the story, and after a long period of drowsiness, he felt that the story he was in was loose.

Like a plant that has been thirsty for a long time, it is finally injected with sweet water, so the shriveled and dying plant is revived, rejuvenated, and transformed from words into the pillars of the world.

A new world arises.

The professor's soul also slowly regained his self-awareness. The moment he recalled Chi Yiyin's disappearance, he was worried and wanted to go find his benefactor, friend and student.

But before he could move, another icy force tracked him down and stuffed him into a shell.

And his memory of Chi Yiyin and everything else gradually became blurred and faded away.

He seems to have a new identity.

He is no longer a professor of folklore who is obsessed with research and teaching on the university campus, nor is he an incompetent professor who died on the road to pick up folklore, and even failed to protect his own students and assistants, but an innate talent from birth. A stupid young man who lacks intelligence, has never stepped out of the village, and has been trapped in the well all his life.

He has a mother and a grandfather, and the family relationship seems to be weird and never clear.

But in that decayed and desolate village, he only remembered one thing.

—Someone will come here and die here.

That was the test the man deserved.

Although he didn't understand what was going on, the young man believed so firmly.

Moreover, during the long and boring time there, his chaotic memories also revealed a gap to him, and the faintly leaked clues aroused his curiosity, and made him start to seem to wander in the village. Wandering aimlessly, trying to find useful information.

And in such a long wait that seemed to have no end, he really waited for someone.

—A young man who came to stay overnight during a rainstorm.

The moment he saw Chi Yiyin's face clearly, his pupils constricted, his memory loosened, and he vaguely remembered many things.

For example, the closeness and trust in Chi Yiyin, for example, he himself does not belong to this mountain village, nor does he have any mother and grandfather.

Even though the professor didn't fully remember his identity and life at that time, he still relied on Chi Yiyin with instinctive trust, and took him to the deserted yard next door.

Since then, under the violent impact, Chi Yiyin has recovered his own memory.

The professor also recalled all this.

When he opened his eyes again, he felt like a stardust floating in the boundless universe, unable to find a landing point, unable to stop, and could only wait aimlessly.

in absolute silence.

Then, various time and space began to explode, converge, and merge.

The weak time and space are annihilated, and they approach a certain time and space neatly, becoming a part of it.

The professor also seized the opportunity and entered that time and space.

In Little Garden, he felt a similar source of power, like a fish that had been short of water for a long time was put back into the sea, regained its strength, and even breathed freely.

He knew that Chi Yiyin, who had disappeared before his eyes...

right here.

Moreover, the entire Hakoniwa is exactly the same as the scene he experienced before his death, as if his memories before death reappeared.

So, relying on his own understanding of Chi Yiyin, the professor knew that he would definitely go to Dayin Village to find the truth and a way to leave, so he waited early on the mountain road.

Sure enough, he was here, reunited with Chi Yiyin.

One person and one ghost walked on the mountain road, talking and laughing as they walked towards Dayin Village. When talking about their own experience before meeting with each other, they all underestimated the pain and suffering, and instead talked about those interesting experiences.

It seemed that they were not walking around the playground and facing death several times, but were traveling far and had a pleasant vacation.

"Teacher, you should really go and have a look. Can you imagine that there is such an interesting coffee shop in the corner of the city, and most importantly, there are bookshelves with high ceilings filled with books that have been scattered for thousands of years? All the lost classics and history subsets."

Chi Yiyin smiled, with a relaxed expression, didn't mention the danger in the copy, and even felt a little regretful: "It's a pity, if those books are put in the library, I'm afraid students of folklore, your colleagues in school , you should be happy and crazy."

The professor also nodded in sympathy, and smacked his lips with regret.

"How's your new book?"

The professor smiled and asked, "When we parted, you were still preparing your new book. How is it? Does the Ma family mansion have any stories you want? You won't be lazy during the time we're apart, right?"

The professor feigned anger, and joked with a smile: "I know that you writers always like to delay manuscripts, waiting for the **** of inspiration to take care of you, but you can't slack off, or your editor won't let me publish popular science books."

Chi Yiyin was also amused, and waved to him with a smile: "Teacher, don't worry, the story of the Ma's mansion has already been written. Not only that, I also finished several other books during the time we parted from you."

He winked at the professor and said with a smile: "In this way, it's because you are lazy, teacher?"

The professor waved his hands again and again, amazed at Chi Yiyin's prolific output, but at the same time he also showed a touch of distress.

Following Chi Yiyin's side, he knows exactly how Chi Yiyin writes.

Go to the bottom of the core of the deepest and most painful story, bear all the pain and collapse of the parties with your own body, figure out human nature and emotions, learn their emotions, understand the details and trends of every development in the tragedy, and resent and anger. Ghosts empathize with each other, throwing themselves into the abyss of emotions time and time again, and then get back up again...

Chi Yiyin's story was tempered in pain.

He forced himself to death, endured extreme pain, and then screamed with his soul, wrote all his experiences into stories, and completed a work.

If Chi Yiyin is prolific, it can only mean one thing - he has endured enough dangers during this period of time.

The professor couldn't help feeling a little distressed. His own child was in pain, and he didn't even know what Chi Yiyin had gone through.

Chi Yiyin saw the professor's emotions, and wanted to show the manuscript to the other party to change the topic, so as not to make the other party feel uncomfortable.

However, when his hand reached into the coat, it was empty.

...The notebook he carried with him is long gone.

The power Chi Yiyin awakened was "creation", how could the new system allow him to enter Little Garden with power?

Whether it is Ma Yuze or Gu Xichao, they and their stories are all isolated from Little Garden.

The smile on Chi Yiyin's lips faded, and when that handsome face was expressionless, it showed a sense of danger and sharpness, which could almost cut people.

But in the next second, he smiled again, changed the subject as if nothing had happened, and talked to the professor about the situation in front of him.

Dayin Village.

If anyone still knows about the horrible experience in 1999, only Chi Yiyin and the professor are left.

And the only two insiders are now standing in the mountain forest of Dayin Village that has reappeared.

They know better than anyone what kind of danger they will face.

"Don't worry, teacher."

Chi Yiyin smiled: "Although Dayin Village is still the same as before, the situation is different from what it was then."

"Even if what happened back then... will only have a different ending."

The professor laughed, and felt a little more settled, no longer as uneasy as before.

For him, Dayin Village is the place where all the tragic experiences in life condense, no matter before or after death.

His students died here, and his own soul was trapped here for decades, unable to leave, and could only wander in the mountains, confused and not knowing where to go.

If he hadn't met Chi Yiyin, he would have forgotten his original identity in his long life as a ghost and completely turned into an evil ghost who hurt people.

Therefore, even if the professor is very clear that he is no longer the poor lonely ghost of the past, he still feels uneasy because of revisiting the old place.

The two walked in front, talking and laughing all the time.

But Li Sijun followed behind, but Chi Yiyin completely forgot, and didn't even give him a look.

His face darkened slowly, and his air pressure dropped.

The monkey who obediently held up the lamp to illuminate the mountain road under Chi Yiyin's feet couldn't help but turn around and cast a sympathetic look at Li Sijun.

Otherwise, how do you say whoever is tempted first loses first? Tsk tsk tsk, look at how thoroughly ignored by Chi Yiyin, its grievous boss.

Houzi sighed, even for a moment, he felt that he shouldn't be dissatisfied because his boss is in love.

Because the boss is so pitiful!

The monkey was thinking so happily, using Ah Q's spirit to comfort himself, when he noticed a cold gaze falling on him.

At that moment, it was almost crushed by the heavy pressure, and the whole monkey fell to the ground.

The monkey hurriedly curbed those offensive thoughts, looked up tremblingly, with tears in its big eyes, looking timidly how pitiful it was.

How could anyone be willing to kill such a cute and innocent little monkey?

Li Sijun: "Oh."

He sneered, looked at the monkey huddled into a ball, passed it blankly, quickened his pace calmly, took a few steps with his long legs, and walked to Chi Yiyin's side, following him vaguely Before and after the little believer.

However, when the professor found out about Li Sijun, Chi Yiyin still didn't realize it.

The professor looked at Li Sijun curiously. When he didn't know who this cold-faced and imposing man was, he saw that Li Sijun, who had noticed his gaze, softened his expression and nodded slightly to him, as if to Facing an elder.

And the reason why an existence with such a terrifying aura as Li Sijun would respect a ghost... can only be Chi Yiyin.

The professor raised his eyebrows, knowing it, and smiled slightly.

"It seems that during the period of separation, you have indeed had a lot of experience."

The professor smiled and said, "It seems that I disturbed you."

Just as Chi Yiyin was about to nod, she heard the professor say the second half of the sentence.

"?"

He blinked his eyes suspiciously, and then he noticed Li Sijun who was following him, and suddenly realized.

But immediately, a blush stained the corners of his eyes.

Chi Yiyin pursed her lips, coughed fakely in the sight of Li Sijun and the professor, and tried to explain: "It's not as good as what you said, teacher."

"Let me introduce, this is my companion, Li Sijun."

When Chi Yiyin introduced Li Sijun to the professor, seeing the scene where the three of them were taking it so seriously, for some reason, the monkey watching had the illusion that he was meeting his parents and having an engagement banquet.

monkey:"?"

And when I heard Chi Yiyin talk about the encounter with Li Sijun and the things that happened between them, especially the part where Li Sijun wanted to kill Chi Yiyin...

Even though Chi Yiyin's voice was flat, the professor still gave Li Sijun a dissatisfied look.

Like a parent who protects the calf.

Children who are bullied outside, no matter how long it takes, can get protection from their parents and confide their grievances.

...Although Chi Yiyin didn't feel wronged.

He just calmly felt that although Li Sijun wanted to kill himself, he also wanted to kill Li Sijun, and he had caused substantial damage to Li Sijun. The footless bird brooch was stained with divine blood. There are his knife marks on his chest, and the two have canceled each other out and evened out.

But Professor: No! You are wronged!

— There is a kind of grievance that makes parents feel that you are wronged.

The professor glared at Li Sijun, and even floated over, squeezed between the two of them abruptly, separating them.

It's like the queen mother breaks up a destined person.

Chi Yiyin shrugged, feeling indifferent.

My teacher wants to stand in another place, what a big deal.

But Li Sijun, who clearly received the signal from the professor: "..."

The monkeys watching couldn't help covering their eyes: those who heard it were sad and those who listened to tears, the **** successfully attracted the hatred of the parents within a few minutes after seeing the parents.

It sighed: Gods who seem to be omnipotent actually have things they can't do—such as gaining the favor of the parents of the new gods.

Not to mention Chi Yan... Both mother and son's goal is to kill Li Sijun.

And this professor in front of him who looks more like Chi Yiyin's parents than Chi Yan... Hiss!

Monkey: This marriage is really not easy. Seeing that my boss is worse than me, I suddenly feel less sad hehe~

Li Sijun glanced at the monkey indifferently, thinking that he really should have destroyed this mental retardation back then.

But for Li Sijun, tonight is not completely without good harvest.

Although Chi Yiyin didn't notice his existence, it also shows that his voice has gradually gotten used to his breath, accepted his being around him, and is no longer as sharp and vigilant as before. Like a **** kitten.

That's a big step forward, too, isn't it?

Li Sijun suppressed the smile on his lips, trying not to let himself laugh out loud when the professor had a bad impression of him.

—For meeting the parents, that would be too unserious, and it would make the professor doubt his sincerity even more.

But in fact, only Li Sijun discovered this tiny detail.

And care.

Li · Buckle sugar in the cracks · Enjoy yourself · Firmly believe that Chi Yiyin loves him more than I love Chi Yiyin · Auto-completion · Brain fills the gods · Si Jun: Yinyin loves me~(//▽// )

Monkey who sees through everything: ...

Players who were full of expectations in front of the screen but were stuffed with dog food: ...

"&#*#&!!"

The players have ten thousand bad words, and they don't know when to say them or not.

The players who were expecting to see Chi Yiyin's victory were somehow forced to watch a parent-meeting event. Many of them had mixed feelings and didn't know how to react for a while.

"Chi Yiyin..."

Some players hesitated and asked: "Is it just like this before... Paying attention to feelings?"

"How did I hear that he is a cunning and cruel double-faced character? Is the information I found wrong?"

He euphemistically expressed his shock, but some players became irritable and shook the screen trying to wake Chi Yiyin up.

- What love talk about love! The game field is a god-making field, not a holy place for your blind dates!

The player roared, wishing to replace him with his own body, but he could only be furious in front of the screen.

Even the new system is silent.

It couldn't help but open its database, and looked at the conclusion that "the new **** killed the old **** and completed the reconstruction of the new world" that it had analyzed before, and couldn't help but fall into self-doubt.

Is this result really reliable?

No matter how the new system looks at what is happening in Little Garden now, it feels that following this trend, Chi Yiyin will accept Li Sijun one day sooner or later.

Kill Li Sijun? Marriage with Li Sijun is almost the same.

New system: Is the information I collected wrong?

humble.

"arrive."

In the distance, Dayin Village has already revealed its silhouette in the mountains and forests under the dark night.

Chi Yiyin and the professor stopped at the same time, looked up at Dayin Village with complicated expressions, and were speechless for a while.

For the two who have recovered their memories, even if they could treat Dayin Village and what happened that year with a calm attitude before, when Dayin Village really reappeared in front of their eyes, everything in the past was still the same. It came like a tide, inevitably recalling everything.

Those deaths, pain, losses, and prison-like prisons that happened because of Dayin Village...

The painful emotions brought about by various experiences are also reproduced together with the scene.

Being in it is like going back to that desperate time.

Even if the outline of Dayin Village is only vaguely revealed, and the archway in front of the temple of the village stands tall and silent in the dark, for the two of them, especially the professor, they can still locate them accurately in an instant, and they can also recognize the entrance on the mountain road. The direction of Dayin Village.

He had mixed feelings in his heart and was filled with infinite emotion.

The injuries that he thought would go away after leaving Dayin Village, did not come to him until he came back here again, and the injuries will not disappear.

As long as what has happened, any pain and suffering will leave scars on the soul. They are like sharp claws hiding in the dark, they will suddenly appear at some point and hurt themselves again.

The professor was in a complicated mood, but he felt a warmth around him.

He looked down in surprise and saw Chi Yiyin smiling at him.

"Let's go, teacher."

Chi Yiyin saw the pain of the professor, but he did not let the professor run away softly because of this, but silently used his own strength to support the professor and help him face the pain of the past.

"Since everything has returned to how it was back then, the sorceress will also be there, as well as the corpses in Dayin Village, the villagers..."

Chi Yiyin looked directly into the professor's eyes and asked softly, "This time, we will have a different ending. Isn't that right? Teacher."

The teacher seemed to call back all the sanity of the professor.

He blinked slowly in a trance, and then his eyes became clear again, his face was calm and gentle, he smiled and nodded, responding to his student.

He is a teacher, and he should stand in front of the students. Even if he dies, he will protect the safety of the students.

In the past, he failed to do so, and could only watch five students die in front of his eyes one after another. Even if he sacrificed his own soul, it only delayed the result for decades...

But this time, everything will be different.

He still has a chance to make up, to make up, to make up for the regrets of the year...

Thinking of this, the professor straightened his back unconsciously, took a deep breath, and resolutely walked in front of Chi Yiyin, heading towards Dayin Village first.

For Chi Yiyin's readers, this book is just a pastime when they are bored, a horror novel to satisfy their emotions, even if they cry for the dead characters in the book, they will forget all about it when they turn their heads.

Because it is false.

But readers don't know that Chi Yiyin is not an ordinary human being.

The story written by the "monster" using the power of awakening, put all the tears and despair about Dayin Village into the words, and also put the power into the book.

All the fears... not only come from Chi Yiyin's words.

It also comes from the power contained in the words.

Real ghosts and witchcraft, the sinister power obtained from sacrifices.

But even so, what readers read are still words that have been processed by Chi Yiyin, and the power of death has been repeatedly reduced.

Even some real events were deleted after Chi Yiyin's consideration, instead of presenting everything as a documentary.

What happened in Dayin Village, only Chi Yiyin and the professor know.

The protagonist in the book is the mountain forest with a group of companions.

At the local county annals discussion meeting, the protagonist learns about the place name of Dayin Village and the tragedy that happened. Together with the professor of folklore and the local old man, he plans to enter Dayin Village in the morning of the second day after the meeting.

However, the assistants and students brought by the professor of folklore were dissatisfied with the protagonist because of it, and felt that the professor seemed to rely more on the protagonist than them.

At the same time, the associate professor who was born in the same university as the professor, but has always been dominated by the professor, accidentally overheard the conversation between them.

In order to compete with the professor, the associate professor quickly contacted students and assistants who were equally curious. The three of them, together with the mountaineering enthusiast who blocked the car halfway, secretly followed the protagonist and his party into the mountain forest.

Dayin Village has a special magnetic field, and the entire mountain forest has never been developed. It still retains the natural ecology of the original forest, which has not been destroyed by modernization and human footprints.

But it's not kind to the people who actually get into it.

The longing for complete nature only exists outside the screen to look at the fascination in the screen. But when a person walks on the ground, he will be forced to collapse by the big trees that cover the sky and the sun, and the dangers hidden everywhere.

As soon as the protagonist entered the mountain, he had to abandon the car and go into the mountain on foot.

Fortunately, both the professor and the old man have been active in the wild all year round, and their physical fitness is good. The old man is also more familiar with the terrain of the mountains and forests. He quickly led them to find a way to go up the mountain, and pointed out the general outline of Dayin Village for them. direction.

However, even if he was familiar with the terrain here, the old man did not dare to take it lightly.

He told the protagonist that the villages at the foot of the nearby mountain are not willing to approach this mountain, because even the most experienced hunters will occasionally disappear into this mountain inexplicably.

At first, everyone thought it was because of Orion's own carelessness. After all, it is normal to be blinded by swallowed geese after hunting geese all day long.

Although everyone was sad, they didn't think much about it.

Until the people who entered the mountain disappeared one by one.

And those who disappeared will reappear in a few months... in the form of corpses.

The strange thing is that those corpses have no heads, as if they were chopped off by someone, but the cross-section of the neck is as smooth as a mirror, which is a level that even the most skilled people can't do.

On the body of the corpse, there were many bruised scratches and many strange runes carved out with a knife, dripping with blood.

Some old people remembered that in fact, there was a village in the deepest part of this mountain a long time ago. A few decades ago, people from that village could occasionally be seen bartering with other villages, exchanging mountain treasures for food and needed.

But these years, I never saw the people from that village again.

Some old people said that it was because of a plague in that village, and all households had died.

Some also said that it was because the original way down the mountain was cut off, making it more difficult to go down the mountain, and the people on the mountain simply stopped coming down and were self-sufficient.

But no matter what, everyone still put this mountain into the blacklist, and no family is allowed to approach it, for fear that such a thing will happen again.

When the old man spoke to the protagonist, he was still sighing.

He said that no matter how well-prepared and familiar with the terrain, he may not be able to leave safely every time, and the outcome depends entirely on God's will.

The professor couldn't bear it and persuaded the old man to go back, but the old man
