Terror in the mountains

  Tomb raiders forbidden area 51 district 0009 mountain of horror

  "What what?" Hyakushou was calm again with that face, moved his mouth, and finally only said two repeated words, it was obvious that he didn't know.

  I stretched out my hand and grabbed my head fiercely, trying to calm myself down and digest what I had just thought of.

  Firstly, this map came from a very suspicious place, but I am absolutely certain that it is the map from Ghost City, because it has a fishy smell.

  Second: The map that Qiu Ba brought for me to see didn't have a fishy smell. That day, I basically didn't smell any fishy smell at all.

  Third: I remember, after Mingming threw the map on the ground and went back to his room, the only thing that can be confirmed is that the map changed overnight. So the map I saw the next day was not the one I brought back, which is why it didn't have a fishy smell.

  However, a thick fog of suspicion tightly surrounds me. Then, who swapped the map, and how did the real map that was retrieved from the Ghost Market end up in my hands again?

  From Qiu Bo Na, and the people who came with me, there were only Gao Da Li. Now, Gao Da Li is no longer in our team. Then who else knows about that map?

  Hyakushō Kōki

  When I thought of these three words, I was shocked all over, my eyes became a little dazed, and I immediately looked at Hyakushou.

  In Kishou City, the only person I met was Hyakushou Ayame, and now he's right beside me. So, could it be him?

  I recall that Hyakushobu's surprise at seeing the map earlier didn't seem like someone who knew of its existence. Was he hiding it well, or did he really not know?

  "I'm at a loss." I shook my head and said with some pain.

  It's indeed important to keep a clear head in this situation, but mine is all muddled up and no matter how I think about it, I just can't find the key point.

  Finally, I saw Baishou Sheng's expression was full of helplessness, he patted my shoulder and said: "Xiao Jiu Ye, some things have no outcome, don't keep searching for answers."

  He then lay down on the bed and covered himself with a quilt.

  I didn't say anything either, and you can't get much out of them by asking. I believe that if they wanted to talk, they wouldn't have kept quiet until now.

  Anyway, I think they all say they don't want me to go, but they won't stop me and will even help me.

  I put the things back in my backpack, picked up that map, it was very heavy and looked at it for a long time, but I still didn't know how to get there, so I memorized those routes.

  Turning it over and taking a look, there was a small piece of paper with words written on it that were unbearable to look at directly.

  We will meet again.

  Staring at those fonts, suddenly shocked for a moment, these fonts seem to have been seen somewhere? It seems that in my own memory, such ugly characters appear, but I just can't think of it.

  The next day, we rented a large van at the edge of the village.

  The driver of the car looked like he was in his twenties and had a somewhat delicate appearance.

  "A few of you probably also came to make a fortune, so I'll give you some well-intentioned advice. The village you're going to is an ancient mountain stronghold with many rules. Back then, our entire county was confiscating guns and ammunition, even the head of the local gang didn't escape, but that village was too lawless, they'd rather die than hand over their guns, and they even went to war with the local police. In the end, big shots from the city came and had to make an exception. If you go, be careful, don't offend anyone, or you won't know how you'll die." The driver said with a somewhat boastful tone.

  On the bus, feeling bored and a bit scared, I asked the driver, "Hey, has anything big happened there before? If we go, will someone put a knife to our throat?"

  The people of Nazikou are so strong that they even dare to confront the armed police, which makes me a little curious.

  The driver smiled wryly and changed the subject, saying: "That village is really eerie, locals usually don't dare to go into that wild forest, only outsiders like you who don't understand, keep going in thinking there's gold or something. We locals don't dare to mess with that place."

  "People like you, I've met many times in this town, can't even count how many. Those who don't understand will head north and directly enter that forest, resulting in all of them dying, not a single person has come out. Only those who know the situation will go to that village first, find a few familiar hunters to lead the way, so as not to lose money and even lose their lives." The driver continued to say.

  The hundred-handed creature beside him looked up in surprise and asked, "Is the wild forest you're talking about Mount Daluo?"

  Dawu Mountain is where we are going this time, but it's not our destination, just a place we need to pass through.

  The driver listened, as if it was his own blood, and explained: "It's the Dawu Mountain, that wild forest, ordinary hunters don't dare to go in and hunt. I heard from my grandparents that there are many evil things in that forest, such as wolf packs, mountain demons, and even witchcraft. People who enter that place can see ghost ships on the shore, and the sounds of the ship are eerie and chilling."

  As soon as I heard this, I secretly laughed to myself. What era is this? The villages here are still so superstitious. I'm not saying I don't believe it, but that driver's words were too far-fetched. Most people wouldn't believe it, they would just treat it like a ghost story and forget about it afterwards.

  At this time, I noticed Hei Shu's face getting darker and darker, he wouldn't believe in these things, would he?

  "Just like those who went in a few days ago, there's still no news till now, probably they're all dead."

  As soon as I heard it, I came in strength, it must be Old Man Zhou and the others, but their speed is too fast, right?

  I asked him: "Have you seen those people?"

  No sooner had I spoken than Black Uncle turned around and glared at me with a warning look, giving me quite a fright.

  The driver let out a hearty laugh: "It's still me who took them in, they're all a bunch of fools trying to get rich, rushing in like crazy. Brother, I'm telling you, that group of people, I can see it clearly, one of them is already on their last breath, others don't notice, but I saw it at a glance, that person used evil ways to prolong their life."

  "What? Evil cult?"

  Listening to others talk about these terrifying things, I actually have a kind of expectation in my heart, and I always feel that I'm a bit perverted.

  "Listen, buddy, I'm telling you, don't think what I'm saying is just a story. I'm not in the mood to chat with you for no reason. It's absolutely true. Last month, I drove several people and kindly reminded them not to head north, suggesting they find a hunter to guide them in. But they didn't listen at all. In the end, I could only drop them off near the mountain." The driver became more engaged as he spoke.

  My heart skipped a beat, wasn't it last month when Grandpa went missing?

  "That time they went into the mountains, I don't know how long it took, but in my impression, it was about ten days or half a month. At that time, I really thought they had died in the mountains, but unexpectedly one day they came out again."

  "But their expressions were eerie, indescribable, as if they had been driven to despair and death. After coming out, there was no excitement of narrowly escaping death, what's more, I smelled a earthy smell on them."

  "What is 'Tǔ wèi'?" I asked in puzzlement.

  The driver turned his head and took a look at me, curled his lip and said: "One look at you is a rookie, nothing is understood, the soil smell is the dead body smell, it's the smell emitted by the corpse, very smelly."

  He was right, I'm a rookie, almost everything is unknown to me. Along the way, some of the underground work was taught to me by Master Bai in real-time.

  "Xiao Jiu Ye, this time entering the mountain, don't worry about ferocious beasts and the like, what's most frightening is still human hearts. In the tomb, it's possible that the person next to you is someone who wants to harm you." This was told to me by Bai Shou Sheng, always be on guard against the people around you, even if they're your best friends, no exceptions.

  All the way, the driver was talking about the evil gates in Dawu Mountain, all kinds of horror stories, and indeed, it made me feel a sense of fear, I wanted to escape. As soon as this thought occurred to me, I was shocked, how did he know what I was thinking? The driver was actually trying to persuade me to stay away from that place, the deeper meaning is that he didn't want us to enter the mountain.

  Such an idea, I immediately looked at the driver, with a hint of doubt in my eyes.

  Why is it that on this road, there are always people spreading rumors and danger lurking everywhere? Is there some kind of connection here?

  At this time, Hei Shu's voice came from behind:

  "Whether I can get there is still unknown."

  He said this in a hurry, quickly and softly, but it all reached my ears.
