Seven Days, Seven Nights

Many ancient villages and towns have continued traditions, such as sacrifice and prayer.

For a while, Sur was quite interested in this. It happened that the TV channel was broadcasting a documentary at the time. The overall impression was: a bit weird, but very religious and mysterious.

Right now these villagers gathered at the west entrance of the village, kneeling by the well and muttering words. They were too fast to hear what they were saying.

The village chief leaned on his knees, put his hands in front of him and kowped his head heavily, and finally uttered a clear sentence: "Please forgive me for the sins I waited for."

Sur frowned, completely different from the documentary, this kind of prayer falls into the category of evil at first glance.

"They kowtowed in one direction." Ji Heng lowered his voice.

Suer looked in the direction he raised the point, and all the villagers looked to the right of the well when they bowed.

The village chief was helped to stand up, implied warning: "The day after tomorrow is the sacrificial ceremony, daily attention, do not say the wrong thing."

Hearing the sacrificial ceremony, many villagers' eyes flashed with excitement, their shoulders trembled slightly, as if they couldn't wait to see that day come.

The village head pushed away the person who helped him, and said quietly: "Let's go away."

The villagers walked together, Su Er pointed to the back, and asked with his eyes whether to go or stay.

Ji Heng: "Go to the well and have a look later."

Su Tangyi had other concerns: "If these villagers find out that we are not in the house, it is hard to explain."

Ji Heng calmly said: "The envoy does not need to explain."

Suer nodded in agreement: "Yes, we sleepwalk and pray every night."

Su Tangyi replied: "Really?"

In terms of important matters, Yizhu's speaking and acting styles are two kinds, very serious: "The remaining layer of window paper has not been pierced, and there is no need to do well on the bright side."

The villagers have a ghost in their hearts, and they also come with a purpose, but it's not the time to tear their skin.

Suer carefully hid behind the wall and saw that most of the villagers went directly into his house without intending to visit at night.At the moment, he completely dispelled the idea of ​​going back to the house. When the people were gone, he sneaked out and prepared to study the well.

He hasn't been bold enough to directly stretch his head to look around, who knows if a ghost will be drilled in the well.

Ji Heng didn't seem to focus on the well. He cut off the thick branches and began to loosen the soil.Seeing this, several people worked together to plan out with their hands after the soil was loosened.

Suer bumped into something, and the movement on his hand was slightly stiff, and the others stopped moving.

"What's wrong?" Ji Heng asked.

Suer glanced at his hand buried in the soil: "It seems to be a bone, how many percent do you think it might be an animal?"

Speaking and pulling out, a few stones jumped into the air, and the things in Su's hand were also presented in front of everyone: a piece of burnt and black hand bones.

It's not that I haven't seen more disgusting scenes, but when he resisted the urge to nausea, he speeded up digging instead.

One after another bones gradually reappeared, and Suer's eyes darkened. Before digging deep, four of his hand bones were found.I don't know how many corpses were buried underground.

Su Tangyi: "Are these bones from villagers or from outsiders?"

No one answered, but they all know that the latter is more likely.

Sur made a very common inference: "The sacrificial ceremony is probably to burn the envoy."

"..."

There is some truth to it.

Hastily buried the bones in again, Suer turned to look at the well and tapped the wall politely: "Is anyone inside?"

After a quick probe, he came back quickly.

His movements were too large, and Ji Heng was helpless: "Are you not afraid of flashing to the waist?"

Sur shrugged, this confidence still exists.

The corner of Yizhu's mouth twitched: "Just look at it directly, why bother to ask?"

Sur: "If there are ghosts, they will definitely be taken aback because of my polite inquiry, so hurry up these few seconds."

Yizhu asked without expectation, "What did you see?"

It took less than three seconds in total, at most it was looking at the dark bottom of the well.

Su Er's smile faded, his eyes seemed to penetrate the barrier to look at the well, and at the end he slowly uttered a word: "Draw."

"painting?"

Su Er nodded: "There are nicks on the inner wall, which look like a painting when connected."

Yizhu's expression is somewhat subtle.

If you read it right, this is a very important clue, but the danger of going down the well is a bit high.She didn't want to take risks easily, and didn't want to take advantage of others in vain, so she looked at Sur: "If you want to go down, I will give you a healing tool."

This type of props is worth two or three ordinary props.

"..."

Su Er slanderously, still greedy his body during the day, and threw it at night?

An unkind chuckle came from the side, and Su Er turned his head. Although Ji Heng was pursing his mouth, he was sure that the voice was his.

Ji Heng symbolically comforted: "At any time, learning will not abandon you."

"..."

This is just a small episode. Ji Heng walked to the well as soon as he finished speaking. He was not as cautious as Sur, rolled up his sleeves and reached out to explore the inner wall.

After a while, he said, "Get a lamp and a thick rope. I'm going to go down the well."

Suer's lips moved, but in the end it didn't stop. The other party made a decision, not to mention ten percent, at least seventy to eighty percent sure.

Yizhu and Su Tangyi went to find something, Suer suggested: "It's good to be armed with props."

Ji Heng's spirit value is not low, according to the current feeling, even if there is a ghost at the bottom of the well, it will not be too strong.But seeing that he looked serious, he took out a gossip mirror and hung it in front of him.

The gossip mirror is equipped with modern outfits, and looks a bit funny, but fortunately it looks good.

After taking the rope, Ji Heng skillfully tied it around his waist.

To be on the safe side, Suer helped him tie another one. When he wanted to add a third one, Su Tangyi hurriedly stopped: "It's not tied to pigs."

The words were rough and not rough, Suer looked at Ji Heng, who was tied with two loops of thick rope on his waist, and showed a rather helpless smile at him.

Suer coughed slightly, waved his hand, and signaled to go down the well.

The well was very humid, so Ji Heng squinted his eyes and scanned the mural, because he still had to distinguish, the speed of descending was very slow, and his arm strength was too bad.

From time to time, I had to turn around in the well. When it was almost at the bottom of the well, it had already taken nearly a quarter of an hour.

Su Er lay on the side of the well, the painting was upside down for him, and he couldn't see the content, but he noticed Ji Heng's frowning brow gradually.

"A traveler fainted in the desert, traded with God, and later arrived at the oasis to regret, got married and had children..."

The voice came from the bottom of the well, empty and echoed, let alone how gloomy it was.

When Ji Heng looked at the picture and told the story, a pale hand rose from the water, and he fell expressionlessly. He seemed to have discovered the existence of water ghosts a long time ago. A piece of sand."

Sur frowned: "The logic is wrong."

Since it is a god, it would be good to take mortal lives in a rage, so why anger an entire oasis?

"That's it," Ji Heng said, "There are two other wells. Maybe we can find other clues."

When he was about to go up, he temporarily changed his mind and pulled the water ghost's hair up.

The rope swayed in mid-air. Fortunately, the ghost itself was not heavy. One ghost and one ghost came up safely.

The water ghost was thrown to the ground, instinctively reaching out to grab a living person and drag it down.Ji Heng looked at Su Tangyi and Yizhu: "Thank you for looking for trillions of them, and check the content on the mural."

They are all human beings, knowing that this is deliberately distracting people, but Wanyi and Li Zicang have already started to check the wells, and it is necessary to go there.

After they left, Ji Heng brought the water ghost to Su Er.

Sur took out the electric shock device and stared at the water ghost before inhaling the yin Qi: "Everyone else was burned to death, but this one became the water ghost?"

"It's a player." Ji Heng said, "The badge dropped during the process of coming up."

Suer tried several times to talk to the water ghost, but they all ended in failure. In the end, it was determined that he was completely sane.

Ji Heng: "The possibility of the player becoming a ghost is extremely unlikely to retain consciousness."

When the aborigines die, they can transform into spooky ghosts with autonomous consciousness, but players can't, otherwise the balance will be easily broken.

Suer also thought of this, and by the way, wondered how much Zhu Yun might be alive. She seemed to have a trace of surviving reason.

The water ghost only has the animal nature left, struggling to pounce on it.Su Er suddenly understood that the reason for Ji Heng's frown in the well was not because of the mural, but because he discovered that the water ghost was once a player.

Ji Heng: "Hurry up."

Sur raised his head, sighed and chose to do it after all.Seeing that the ferocious water ghost was about to die of vitality, the water ghost seemed to regain clarity at the last moment, and it was full of relief.

"Thanks..." As soon as a word was squeezed from his throat, the water ghost suddenly became irritable again, and the only clear light was gone.

After a few twitches, the water ghost disappeared completely.

Sur shook his head. Compared to becoming a ghost after death, it was a lucky thing to be completely extinguished in the copy.

Before he could sigh for too long, Ji Heng said: "The image portrayed in the portrait of the well is a woman."

Su Er was stunned, completely unexpected this turning point.

Recalling the story on the hotel card at that time, a young traveler appeared in the desert, and the word "he" was used on the card. The first reaction was directly as a man.

In fact, the word'he' was widely used a long time ago, and the reason for judging a traveler as a male is merely habitual thinking.

"Yizhu turned out to be the earliest truth..."

Just as he said, Trillion and others came from the darkness, and all the players were gathered now.

Lu Yizhu had communicated with them a long time ago, playing with her hair at the moment, saying, "Who will talk about responsibility at the moment of life and death."

This is not the time to argue with each other over values. Trillion roughly summarizes the pictures of the other two wells: "Man is not as good as the sky. God originally wanted to take a woman's life after giving birth. She never thought that a woman would be too scared to give birth and die ."

Su Er looked down: "No wonder you can only anger the village." Slowly asked: "Where is the child?"

Trillion shook his head: "I didn't mention it, but it was engraved with a line: Every July 15th, God will come to the sinful village to pick up the envoy he picked."

July 15th happened to be the day after tomorrow, the moment when God wanted to take their lives.

Trillion looked solemnly: "Time is limited and there are few clues. We must determine the direction of investigation... The child not mentioned in the story, the village itself, or the young traveler, which one do you think you should start with?"

The voice fell for a long time, and no one answered.

Ji Heng glanced at Suer before speaking, meaning to listen to his opinion.

Sur tells the truth: "I am not particularly good at finding information."

Ji Heng: "If you say what you can think of right now, it's not a clue."

Suer: "One, destroy the village, the line mentioned in the line that God will come to the village of sin to attract, the village is gone, this sentence may not be true."

After a pause, another finger stretched out: "Second, suicide, God is destined to return empty-handed."

"..."

Peerless ruthless person!

Li Zicang's eyes trembled, who has never spoken, "You are cruel to others, and even more cruel to yourself."

Suer: "'Destruction' does not mean killing. You can think of ways to temporarily lose the ability of the villagers to move, move them to different places in batches, without people living in them, the village is at most called housing gathering places; furthermore, suppose we are gone now , Isn't God busy all his life?"

Su Tangyi raised a blind spot: "But the water ghost was just found in the well, if unfortunately he was dragged in, he would really die."

Sur smiled: "That's because there are other options."

One died, and five other players.

Su Tangyi was about to open her mouth when she shuddered inexplicably when she saw Su Er's smile.

"The players who can enter the falsification will not be weak. They have been in the village to prove that these villagers are not good stubborns." Suer smiled and said: "So we must take the initiative."

"You want to..."

Ji Heng said indifferently: "He wants to swagger and inquire in the village from tomorrow, and he wants to conduct group activities. If the villagers block it, we will act like a collective suicide if it doesn't agree with him."

The god's envoy is dead, what to sacrifice to heaven?
