I made myself the protagonist

"Wait, don't go there yet."

Looking at the body on the ground in the yard, Ling Yun stopped Lin Yuanqi, who wanted to check the body before it disappeared. Based on his understanding of District 6, the situation in front of him was by no means as simple as he imagined.

boom--

Sure enough, after about seven or eight seconds, the two corpses were blown to pieces.

Lin Yuanqi was choked by the dust that was thrown up. He took a closer look and sighed secretly in his heart. He didn't expect that the other party would be so ruthless in doing things. If not for Ling Yun's dissuasion just now, he might have been fooled by the other party at this moment.

"While destroying the evidence and clues on the body, you might be able to lure people into trouble. Sure, this sixth district is really amazing." Coming down from the roof, Lin Yuanqi looked at the empty yard and said to himself.

: "Don't worry, fat man, next time we will make sure these guys can't eat and walk around in circles."

"But those two people just now were probably just testing our chess pieces." Erika's mind was also very smart, and she immediately saw through the opponent's intentions: "The opponent must have a back-up plan. When the third reincarnation starts, we

We must never suffer like this again.”

"I have already investigated everything that should be investigated."

Ling Yun said to the two of them: "Now as long as we verify it with Zhao Zhengxun, the truth about the mystery of the village annihilation will soon surface."

On the other side, deep in the mountains.

Not long after Shen Tinglan and others arrived at the ruined temple, they saw the Ying Xiao controlled by Park Minjun. But this time, the Ying Xiao brought Ling Yun's creed. After seeing the content above, they knew that Ling Yun had already

A temporary cooperation was reached with District 5.

Following the clues provided by Erika earlier, the four of them quickly found the long-abandoned ancient well that the other party had mentioned.

The ancient well is located under a century-old tree, and the surrounding wall is covered with moss and fallen leaves.

Just as the other party described, Shen Tinglan carefully investigated and found that there were many potholes near the wellhead. The eight iron chains had obviously shown signs of being moved recently, and there were scratch marks visible to the naked eye around the well wall.

Su Li stretched out his fingers and scraped off some moss from the well wall. These things were exactly the same as those left under the fingernails of the female corpse in the ancestral hall.

Ren Yao shined a flashlight into the well. The well water below was dark and exuded a strange fishy smell. Apart from that, there seemed to be no other movement. There were many scratches on the inside of the well wall due to its age.

Due to the age, the stone wall is covered with dense wear marks, which seem to be caused by the friction of iron chains.

Light projected from the gaps in the leaves to the edge of the well. Shen Tinglan looked into the well and saw a flash of light in the well. Under the originally dark water, a pale woman's face actually appeared.

And her appearance was exactly the same as the female corpse parked in the ancestral hall.

The woman opened her eyes suddenly, both eyes were blood red, and two lines of blood tears slowly flowed down the corners of her eyes, her eyes full of unwillingness and grief.

At this moment, all the movements of the companions around him disappeared. Shen Tinglan felt shuddering. Before his brain could react, an ethereal and resentful voice floated into his mind:

Sophora flowers fall all over the garden in autumn

Ancient ferry with green trees

The forest bird sings the spring silence

Lower level stormy night

The blood-stained wild tang flowers have fallen away

Flowers blooming in spring willow silk

The jungle is lonely and no one is here

There are fishermen and woodcutter singing bamboo branches

After saying these lines of poetry, the woman's face quickly disappeared. The voices of her companions talking again returned to her ears. It seemed that none of her companions, except Shen Tinglan himself, noticed what had just happened.

Shen Tinglan stood up suddenly and told everyone what he had just seen. His memory was very good, and he even memorized the poems spoken by the resentful spirit verbatim.

Su Li heard the words and quickly analyzed: "What you just saw should be a trace of resentment left in the water after the female corpse died. But it doesn't seem to mean to harm us."

"Is it some kind of reminder?" While Tang Yao was still recalling the content of the poem, Shen Tinglan had already figured out the secret: "Connect the first word of each poem together, it's [under the locust grove, among the blood flowers]." "

"That's it." Tang Yao's eyes lit up, and she suddenly recalled that on the way to the abandoned temple, they did pass by a locust forest. And that place was only a few hundred meters away from where they were now.

Now that the resentful spirit had given out the clue, Shen Tinglan and his party stopped staying and immediately headed to the place indicated by the hint.

Shortly after entering the locust tree forest, a flash of enchanting red broke into the sight of the four of them. The air was filled with a strange fragrance, and it was a sea of ​​extremely magnificent red flowers in full bloom.

Ren Yao stepped forward quickly, picked off one of the flowers, and said solemnly: "This is exactly the same as the one next to the female corpse in the coffin."

"The land here is soft and uneven. It seems that it has been disturbed not long ago." Su Li walked to the center of the sea of ​​flowers and soon discovered something strange.

After realizing something, Shen Tinglan took out a shovel from his space backpack, rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward. Ren Yao and Tang Yao quickly understood what he meant, and several people started to dig open it. The land beneath my feet.

About ten minutes later, Shen Tinglan felt that the shovel seemed to have hit something hard. Then, a corner of a red box covered with soil appeared in everyone's sight.

Because it had just been buried for a few days, the soil on the box was loose. Thanks to everyone's efforts, the full picture was soon revealed.

Shen Tinglan jumped directly into the pit, followed immediately by Ren Yao. The box was about two meters long and had dark patterns carved on it. Although it had not been opened yet, the two of them had already smelled everything inside. The smell of blood.

Ren Yao moved his fingers slightly, and under the action of gravity, the copper core that was originally locked on the box broke. Shen Tinglan opened the box, only to find that it was empty.

"How could this happen?" Tang Yao squatted beside the pit and looked down, feeling a little surprised for a moment.

Shen Tinglan touched the bottom of the box with his hand and felt a large area of ​​dried and solidified blood: "What is certain is that before this, there was indeed a corpse in the box."

As he spoke, he suddenly found a sachet stained with black blood in the corner of the box. The surface of the sachet was beautifully patterned and the embroidery work was excellent. After opening it, it contained some herbs to repel mosquitoes. .

The two searched the bottom of the pit and made sure nothing was missing before climbing out.

Tang Yao still maintained a half-crouched posture. She stared at the lush and beautiful flowers blooming nearby, and said strangely: "Have you noticed that these flowers only grew after the box was buried?"

Su Li nodded: "The sea of ​​flowers does spread with this place as the center. This flower is not like an ordinary thing, but if I guess correctly, it should grow out of resentment."

"Now the girl's body is lying in the ancestral hall, but her remaining resentment guided us to find this box." Shen Tinglan analyzed: "If the village chief and others killed her and transported the body down the mountain, There is no need to dig such a big hole to bury the box."

"So there's another body buried here."

Su Li took over what Shen Tinglan said and continued: "There must have been some kind of relationship between this person and the female corpse in the ancestral hall before she was alive. And the petals around the female corpse were brought by this person."

"This sachet seems to be a token given by a woman to a man. It can be concluded that what disappeared in the box was a male corpse." When Shen Tinglan said this, he had a clear idea in his mind.

He looked at the time and saw that it was already five o'clock in the evening: "I think Ling Yun may have found some clues. Let's go down the mountain as soon as possible while the sky is still bright."
