The house is very simple, the ground is compacted soil, gray walls are very mottled. There was only one bed, one table and two stools in the furniture.

The bedding on the bed was piled up in disorder, and it was obvious that someone had slept. Ying Qiao lifted the quilt and found a wrench on the bed. The table was against the wall and the stool fell to the ground.

Ying Qiao checked around the room and fixed his eyes on the window frame.

The old wooden window frame was covered with spots of dirty blood, which had condensed into red and black blood clots. A large part of the wall under the window fell, and the gray powder fell on the ground. It seemed that someone once hid under the window and accidentally rubbed off the wall.

Ying Qiao hung his eyes and thought, connecting these sporadic discoveries.

Jiang Shu was in Sanshui village with Xue Meng. When he came into the village, he saw a car parked under a big tree at the entrance of the village. He recognized it as Jiang Shu's official car, but the tire of the car was flat. It was very likely that the car was broken and could not contact the outside world, so they spent the night in the village.

There's nothing in this room. It's obviously just a temporary residence. There are traces of sleeping on the bedding. It's very likely that they are sleeping in this room.

After that, they may encounter danger. Ying Qiao coagulates the scattered feathers and dirty blood outside the window, and then contacts the people of the Special Administration Bureau to say that the trace of Gu Diao has been found here. It is speculated that Gu Diao attacked them.

Xue Meng is an ordinary man, but Jiang Shu is a lion. Although he's still a little boy, Ying Qiao found out several times when he went on a mission with him that the little monsters have the momentum that they are not afraid of tigers. They are very reckless. Looking at the situation outside, most of them have had a fierce battle with Gu Diao who attacked them.

It's just what happened after the war? Did Jiang Shu get hurt? Now where?

Ying Qiao put down his anxiety and forced himself to think calmly.

Poverty alleviation is a matter of rotation. When Jiang Jiu is trapped in Sanshui village and can't get in touch with the outside world, he will certainly hope that his colleagues who succeed him will come to the village to find someone if they find something unusual. If so, they should take the initiative to leave clues.

Ying Qiao glanced around the shabby house and looked for it carefully.

He finally found a cell phone that was turned off between the desk and the wall. Ying Qiao knows Jiang's mobile phone. It's not Jiang's, but Xue Meng's.

When the phone is turned on, there is still 10% power left. You can enter the main interface directly without unlocking.

There is a separate audio file in the center of the main interface. When Ying Qiao saw the name of the text, his eyes stagnated and his fingers hovered over the audio named "posthumous note" for a long time before finally clicking on it.

The audio began to play, first with a harsh noise, then with Xue Meng's hoarse crying voice.

He seems to try his best to retell the whole story, but in fact he is a bit confused. There is a continuous murmur in the background sound. If you listen carefully, you can tell that it is similar to a baby crying.

It's supposed to be the cry of Gu Diao.

Ying Qiao's eyes sweep to the wall under the windowsill, guessing that Xue Meng recorded there.

The audio is still playing, Xue Meng's voice is hoarse, and finally comes to the point: "Jiang Shu asked me to hide in the house and go out by myself."

"It's too dark in the room. I can't see outside. I can only listen to it... Later I smelled a strong smell of blood. I hid under the window and looked out. I saw a monster with long horns biting off the head of the strange bird, and the blood gushed everywhere... I searched for a long time, but I didn't find Jiang Jiu, only found the clothes thrown in the corner... "

The voice in the audio stopped for a moment before it continued again. Xue Meng's voice was hoarser than before: "that's Jiang GUI's clothes. He was eaten by those monsters... I will soon --"

The audio stopped abruptly.

Ying Qiao looks at the pinched and deformed mobile phone, and there is no expression on her handsome face. He is like a sculpture, holding the discarded mobile phone standing in place, motionless.

Intellectually, he felt that he could not judge Jiang's death by only one piece of clothing, but emotionally, at the moment when he heard "he was eaten by those monsters", his reason was on the verge of breaking.

At this moment, all the anxieties and worries accumulated in the past have turned into irresolvable violence.

The dragon scale looms on the handsome face, and the human pupil has been replaced by the golden vertical pupil. Ying Qiao throws the discarded mobile phone aside and walks towards Huang Zhishu step by step

……

The thunderstorm that had been brewing for a long time finally came down.

In ink clouds. The strong electric dragon swims away, and then cuts down quickly with irresistible force. The deafening thunder is accompanied by the electric light explosion, tearing countless gaps in the endless stream of ghost miasma.

The rain poured down.

Chen Hua and others, who arrived one step later, were stunned and looked at the violent sky.

"This, this..." the fellow Taoist looked at the crazy rotating compass pointer, and then looked at the sky, for a long time, he couldn't say a complete word.

Chen Hua wiped the rain on his face and roared in the thunder, "everyone back off."

The thunderstorm hissed, and no one dared to be hard. Everyone immediately retreated a hundred meters away. Other people don't know what's going on with this strange and terrible phenomenon, but he does.

Ying Qiao is worried about Jiang Jiu and comes to Sanshui village first. Only he can stir up the sky and summon thunderstorms.

Something must have happened to Jiang Shu.

Chen Hua scolded, but without time to explain, he jumped in along the gap where the ghost miasma was torn.

***

The two big bug eagles are much more powerful than those small ones. It took Jiang Jiu a little more time to bite off their necks.

He didn't rush to eat them, but he made them according to the law and hung them upside down on the dead tree.

The strong smell of blood dispersed in the air, and Jiang Shou was under the tree, his eyes fixed on the tower. The hole in the tower is black. Jiang Jiu felt that there was something hidden in the tower just now, and it gave him a very comfortable feeling.

Jiang Shu didn't go in rashly. He wanted to try to catch what was inside.

Gu Diao's blood drips down from the decapitation and finally sinks into the soil.

The calm ground suddenly vibrated. Something was coming out of the soil, first four corners, then the head, and finally the huge body

The monster, which looks like a sheep but is extremely huge, came out of the soil completely. Its stout limbs crushed the stone grave, with withered wild grass and rattan hanging on its four corners. Its thick mane was mixed with grass scraps, soil and dried and solidified blood stains, and dragged on the ground for a long time.

Ginger is greedy Yi a, scarlet eyeball is surprised to stare round, but more added excitement: "earth mole?"

He turned his head and looked at the cemetery. Unexpectedly, there were so many cannibals in a small Sanshui village.

The earth mole salivates at Gu Diao's corpse. It is imprinted by the fragrance of Gu Diao's blood, but Jiang Jiu, who is guarding Gu Diao, makes it feel a little afraid. But this fear, soon lost to the desire to eat.

He made a strange roar, lowered his head to expose four hard and sharp horns, and rushed towards Jiang Jiu.

Jiang Shu narrowed his eyes and showed his hard and curved horns to meet him bravely

The huge and heavy bodies collided with each other, and the friction between the horns made a dull sound. The four horns of the earth mole broke in response to the sound, and it gave a painful roar. However, Jiang Gu continued to work hard. The sharp horns pierced each other's fur, pierced into their heads, and overturned each other to the ground.

The earth mole also tried to struggle to stand up, and the broken corners and big holes on the top of his head kept pouring out dark red and smelly blood.

With a low roar, Jiang Jiu rushed to bite the mole's neck and threw it under the quiet tower.

The ground was slightly shaken by the body of the earth mole.

The black tower is falling with dust.

Jiang Jiu looked up at the black hole on the top of the tower, his eyes turned, his throat grunted twice, picked up the earth mole that was still alive, and climbed up the tower.

It's dark outside, it's even darker in the tower. Jiang Jiu's eyes swept over the stacked bones at the bottom of the tower, but he didn't find anything that made him uncomfortable. He fidgetily planed his paws, threw the mole into the tower, and then jumped down.

The bottom of the tower is soft mud like a swamp, on which there are many small pieces of baby bones, one layer after another. Taotie's original shape is too big and bulky. Half of Jiang's body is trapped in the swamp like mud. He pulls himself out and changes back into human shape.

The bottom of the tower was covered with baby bones. He had no place to settle down. He could only climb to the half of the body where the earth mole hadn't sunk and stand and observe around.

There was no obstacle at the bottom of the tower, so he could see it all at a glance.

In addition to the baby bones, there were many ropes and baskets that were not completely rotten. Looking at these things, he knew about what the tower was for.

——This is the burial place for abandoned babies, also known as baby tower.

There are always many natural and man-made disasters in this land. Human beings are too fragile. Even adults can't support themselves in a disaster year, let alone more vulnerable infants. As a result, many newborn babies were abandoned by their parents. Most of them are female babies, some of them can't support themselves, some of them don't want to lose money... In short, there are many reasons for these parents to abandon their newborn children.

Later, more and more people abandoned their children, and more and more baby bones were piled up, so there was a baby tower.

The abandoned children were put into the tower to live and die. When there are enough bones, we can burn them clean by setting a fire.

Year after year, again and again.

The baby's ashes were oozed at the bottom of the tower.

Living graves, baby towers. No wonder the resentment of this small graveyard can soar to the sky.

At this time, Jiang Jiu finally knew what the endless black fog was. It was a miasma formed by the resentment of countless dead people. After years of release and accumulation, it is finally strong enough to engulf the whole Sanshui village.

They even nourish monsters like Gu Diao and earth mole.

These monsters grew stronger and stronger, and finally began to hunt for the living.

This is about the cycle of cause and effect in the dark.

Long long: I'm not angry.

Chen Hua: look at the sky above you. Say it again.

Originally, I wanted to finish a chapter of the story, but it was too slow, so I had to wait for the second watch.
