Chapter 17 Falling Corpse
The amount of information brought by Chaofan Game was so great that Zhang Tong, who originally had thoughts of leaving, couldn't wait to get ready to go out.
However, after realizing the weirdness of Chaofan Game, Zhang Tong carefully put the Chaofan Game board and dice into his bag before going out to ensure their safety.
Bang bang bang, bang bang bang.
According to the original plan, Zhang Tong, who was carrying a backpack, pushed open the glass door and heard rhythmic knocking sounds.
His nose twitched a few times, and Zhang Tong could vaguely smell the smell of instant noodles and sweat hidden beneath the smell of smoke.
This is the Internet cafe in 2006. It is also the place with the most yang energy that Zhang Tong can think of in a short period of time. At the same time, it is also the place with the most dense information in this era.
This year, Internet cafes were not called Internet cafes. Not only did they not require ID cards, but they also smoked freely.
The most popular ones in the entire Internet cafe are not World of Warcraft and LoL, but Dance, Speed and Half-Life!
Compared to the irritable young man who stood up and greeted the whole family for half his life whenever they disagreed, Zhang Tong before his rebirth still preferred to perform dazzling dances.
After all, this game can fully vent the restless hormones of young people.
As long as you are willing to put money into the game and make your game character crazy and cool, you can easily gain several wives in the game.
Facing this group of wives, you only need to have a simple chat and you will be ready to send them off thousands of miles away.
Especially in this era where Meitu and other software are not yet rampant, as long as you verify it through video chat, you can avoid overturning to a large extent.
The approximate cost of Xuanwu is really not comparable to other software that will appear in the future.
"Fortunately, I have no money, otherwise I wouldn't be able to keep my virginity."
Looking at the smoky Internet cafe, Zhang Tong shook his head happily, and then walked towards the front desk in a familiar manner.
"Network administrator, open a machine for me. I don't have my ID card."
So, the network administrator took out one of the ID cards from the thick pile in the carton and opened a machine for Zhang Tong.
…
In the corner of the Internet cafe, Zhang Tong nestled on the worn sofa and opened the post bars from various places.
"Sure enough, is it what I thought?"
"Weird events are not just happening around me, there are similar things happening across the country."
In the dim internet cafe, the light emitted from the screen made Zhang Tong's face look unusually solemn.
By browsing Tieba in various regions, Zhang Tong discovered that strange cases occurred across the country.
In other words... it's a supernatural event disguised as a case.
In almost every local forum, there are a few well-informed netizens who are seriously sharing strange sightings or murder cases.
A large number of posts about strange events suddenly appeared, and when Zhang Tong deliberately browsed through them, he felt overwhelmed.
Zhang Tong was preoccupied while thinking about the weird game chess. He had a vague premonition about the future...
…
Pingjiang.
"There was an accident in our village yesterday, and several people died."
rt, I am from Jiangpan Village, Xiaxia, Pingjiang City, so I won’t reveal my name.
I am just twenty years old this year, and I am the only college student in the village who has gone out.
I don’t know if you know the situation in Jiangpan Village. It is very poor and the only way in and out of the village is through a small mountain road.
This incident happened two days ago, on August 9th.
On August 9th, Uncle Chen in the village died. Because Uncle Chen was too old, he had arranged his posthumous affairs before his death.
That night, I contacted a group of people who specialize in white goods to come over and deliver the goods.
Entering the coffin, playing music, mourning...
As a distant relative of Uncle Chen's family, I also passed by wearing mourning.
Speaking of which, this is how it is in the village. You don't see anyone without looking up. As long as the relationship is not too bad, you will definitely have to help out when something happens.
Everything was normal at first, but at eight or nine o'clock in the evening, a terrifying scene happened that made people go numb.
Kneeling in front of the coffin, I was already distracted because of the pain in my knees, and I could clearly hear a series of strange sounds coming from inside the coffin.
At that time, this voice was not only heard by me, but also by many people.
The eldest son of Lao Chen's family was so frightened that he kept kowtowing to his father, hoping that his father could rest in peace.
The small mountain village is not big, and there are only a few dozen households in the neighborhood.
After this incident, all the elders who had gone back early came back.
And at this moment...
ps: Have a glass of water to calm down, will update later.
…
As soon as Zhang Tong saw this post, the content stopped.
That's all.
It should be intentional. In the era when Tieba was popular, many people would control the pace of such updates. Zhang Tong often encountered similar things.
So Zhang Tong clicked to see only the original poster.
As the web page was refreshed, Zhang Tong was shocked to find that the expected content was not revealed and the entire building was gone.
"No more?"
"What are the officials aware of?"
Zhang Tong frowned as he looked at the blank page with only three mysterious numbers left.
But he soon shook his head and began to search for related content.
At this time, a post on Yangming Bar attracted Zhang Tong’s attention.
"Yangming, right? Is it something happening locally?"
Zhang Tong clicked on the post with a serious look on his face. Fortunately, the post was still there.
People drowned in Longhu Reservoir last night, did you know?
rt, I heard from the old man that people who commit suicide by drowning or die in accidents will linger in the place where they drowned and become water ghosts.
Then the water ghost will wait patiently in the water, seduce, or force people to fall into the water and die, to serve as their own scapegoats.
Pictured above from downstairs.
"Where's the picture?"
"If you don't have a picture, why don't you just say a**?"
"It's over, it's over. Another one who cheated on me."
"What the poster said may be true. I have relatives who are in the system. I heard that there was a vicious murder case, but compared with several other cases, this incident did not have too bad impact."
The post was just posted, and it wasn't very popular, with only a few people replying.
Perhaps it is for this reason that the original poster has been reluctant to update.
But even so, Zhang Tong also obtained a lot of useful information from the comments on the post.
"There have been so many cases in Yangming City that the police force is insufficient?"
Zhang Tong's thumb kept rubbing the side of the mouse, feeling somewhat uneasy in his heart.
Clicked again to view only the original poster, and sure enough, the post mysteriously disappeared.
Once again, it was deleted instantly by the relevant departments.
A series of official stress reactions made Zhang Tong feel more and more as if the officials had realized something...
"Wait a minute, Longhu Reservoir in Mingyang City, water ghost?"
Before Zhang Tong could think further, Zhang Tong suddenly had a flash of inspiration. After closing most of the web page, he began to search for information about water ghosts.
"Water ghosts are also called water monkeys. Among the people, they are also called water lion ghosts, water ghoul ghosts, fallen corpse ghosts and drowned ghosts."
"Folklore has it that water monkeys have huge and mysterious power in the water. They can dig under the water and shuttle between different ponds and rivers. They can catch people who have fallen into the water and drag them into the bottom of the water. They can cover the victim's orifices with silt, causing them to suffocate.
Death, there are even legends that water monkeys suck human blood and eat human nails and eyeballs."
Looking at the description in the encyclopedia, Zhang Tong's eyes flickered, staring at the word "Ghoul", and murmured in a voice that only he could hear:
Chapter completed!
