Volume 6 (Part 2) Demon Specimen Chapter 16 The Rendezvous
It took longer than yesterday to arrive at the New Taipei Development Zone. At this time, Ye Xiang felt a violent chill when he got off the car. The north wind blew, like a knife slashing directly on his face. Fortunately, Shanghai where Ye Xiang lives has been very cold in winter, so he can get used to it.
"Huh... so cold!" Shirley couldn't help but say, "Fortunately, I was dressed well today, otherwise I wouldn't be able to bear it."
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw fog spitting out of her mouth that was clearly visible to the naked eye, and the cold here was evident.
When I looked up, the sky was completely misty and there was no trace of sunlight.
"Listen to the weather forecast, maybe there will be snowfall in the next few days. At that time, traffic will be even more inconvenient." Mo Niansheng paid attention to his body from time to time when he spoke, as if his shadow became very faint because of the dim sunshine. This was very unfavorable for him, the "shadow master".
"What should we do?" Lu Ya covered her mouth with her glove-wearing hands and said, "Will you go to your brother's house in Yihang? Or to his unit?"
"I don't need to go there anymore. The landlord, my brother's former colleagues have contacted me by phone, but I still have no brother's whereabouts." The Marquis pointed directly at the vast mountains in the distance and said, "At present, I still plan to go upstairs based on the original clues to take a look."
Yesterday, he did have a faint feeling on the mountain, and, most importantly, the sick pig found in the sack at that time also made him care a lot. It was just a coincidence? He didn't think so. It was just because of the logic of the role he played, so he didn't go into it.
"Go to that mountain..." Lu Ya looked up the mountain and continued, "Okay."
It is currently a blank period for scripts, so there will not be too many dangerous situations. At present, it is just one step at a time. Even after reading the fourth act script, everything is still confusing.
And on that mountain, they will be able to officially meet with the people from the other two major theaters.
Five people walked towards the mountain. Today is the second time I entered. There are some secrets hidden in this mountain, which is certain, but what kind of secret it is is difficult to judge.
Ye Xiang also noticed that at this time, there were Marquis and Shirley in front, and Mo Niansheng and Lu Ya behind. The four people surrounded him in the center. What was the intention? Is it surveillance? Or protection? Or both?
But it is certain that this formation must be instructed by the Marquis. In this case, even if there is danger, no matter from any direction, there will be people from the Nineteenth Cinema to block him. Could it be that the Marquis recognized him because of yesterday's test and decided to spend a price to protect him?
Ye Xiang didn't know that the Marquis' test yesterday actually had another intention. Although he had already planned to protect Ye Xiang at all costs, if he ordered it like this from the beginning, it would definitely cause doubts. He arranged yesterday's test and he survived smoothly. Although he was not in actual danger, at least it was factual for him to survive. Next, if such a formation was arranged to protect him, he would not expose his attention to Ye Xiang. It was caused by the traitors in the Ten Degree Cinema to convey information and let him know what Ye Xiang knew. You must know that Ye Xiang has never taken the initiative to use the Ghost Shackle so far. Even if he actively stated that he had this ability, he might not be able to win the trust. If there were traitors among actors other than the Marquis, it was very likely that he would deduce in reverse. Did someone convey information to the 19th Degree Cinema when Mu Lan announced Ye Xiang's information that day?
Such an arrangement can be said to be completely invisible. For the Marquis, the spy installed in the Tenth Cinema is of great importance and must not be misunderstood.
Of course, Ye Xiang was naturally unaware of the Marquis' arrangement. However, with the protection of these people, in this high-level and difficult horror film, he finally had the capital to save his life and truly had a glimmer of hope for survival. Now, he only hoped that the ghost shackles could be used in this horror film. At this stage, he only had 1,000 death coupons left, because Fang Leng and Yu Fan sponsored him. In fact, if he sold or rented the curse item obtained in "Return" to others, he would not have few death coupons, but in order to allow his beloved woman to survive, he gave it to Wen Yu Fan without hesitation. Ye Xiang did not regret this, even though Wen Yu Fan had never answered him positively so far.
These mountains all seem relatively deserted. Due to the establishment of factories nearby, there are not many farmlands. In addition, due to the cold weather, there are also very few pedestrians on the road.
Because it was too quiet, Ye Xiang felt a little nervous. If it weren't for the fierce men from the 19th Cinema beside him, he would have been really hard to suppress his fear.
At this time, he took out his mobile phone and checked the map of this area. There are currently many industrial parks in the New Taipei Development Zone, and the nearest village is also three or four kilometers away. So, was the sick pig I saw yesterday specially transported to the mountain by people from a nearby village?
Ye Xiang felt something was wrong.
Speaking of which, why do you have to walk so many ways to discard the sick pig? Wouldn’t it be better to throw it into the river or some remote place? Moreover, yesterday they found that the place where the sick pig was already a higher position on the mountain. If you discard a pig, you would have to climb that high?
This made Ye Xiang suddenly realize, could that sick pig really have something to do with the plot of the horror movie?
He had to look at the Marquis in front of him, remembering his behavior of taking pictures of the sick pig and uploading it to Weibo yesterday. Could it be that the Marquis had already considered these things at that time? Thinking of this, Ye Xiang suddenly felt that he was really aware of it.
But, if that sick pig has something to do with the plot of a horror movie, what is it?
Could it be that there is a hidden farm on the mountain? Someone has opened a pig farm on that mountain? But it feels wrong. The mountain is so rugged that it will be inconvenient whether it is feed supply or slaughtered and transported to the city for sale. Moreover, the most important thing is... Even if someone opens a pig farm, he can't think of any relationship with the plot? It's not necessarily the horror movie that is the dead pig's undead? That way, the title shouldn't be called "Pig Demon Specimen"?
Then, Ye Xiang felt aroused his heart, and he thought of another possibility. Did the pig really get so stinky because of illness? Could it be... it was actually caused by a curse? For example, a farmer on the mountain was cursed for some reason, and the chickens, ducks and even pigs raised at home were also affected by the curse and died one by one. In the end, the farmer had to throw the sick pig somewhere on the mountain...
If this is the case, it would be reasonable.
In that case, we have to continue searching for the mountains. However, the area of this mountain is so vast, with just a little manpower, when will it be possible to discover something? Judging from the current situation, we can only explore the truth of the plot step by step according to the development of the subsequent script. We only hope that everything can be found before causing a greater sacrifice.
However, Ye Xiang also knew that even if the Marquis saw some unnatural things about the Dead Pig, after all, reality is not an unreliable reasoning story like the famous detective Conan. Relying on a few unnatural phenomena, you can automatically make up for it and then completely complete the logic and deduce the conclusion. In reality, nothing can be developed completely according to the same pattern and logic, and unexpected situations will definitely happen. Therefore, strictly speaking, there is no connection between the Dead Pig incident and Ji Yizhou's disappearance.
After all, this is only inferred from the situation. It is also possible that some trucks transporting pigs found the sick pig and threw them onto the mountain, or it is possible that there are registered underground pig farms nearby, and it is not even ruled out that some people deliberately throw them onto the rarely-traveled mountains to prevent the spread of the plague.
At present, because there is no specific connection between the two, if you run three kilometers to ask if anyone abandons the sick pig, NG may not be low. As the protagonist, the pay of Marquis is probably more than 1,000. Once NG loses at least 3,000 death coupons, it is definitely not a small amount, not to mention that it is likely to be more than 3,000!
Ye Xiang immediately understood that the purpose of the Marquis posting on Weibo was to hope that someone could provide some clues, or even if some more strange situations occurred, so that he could naturally investigate this clue. Of course, even if he had nothing to find, if he came to this mountain again today, there would be a new discovery and he would be able to take action again at that time.
As he was talking, the five people stepped onto this mountain. The Marquis could naturally follow the death breath of the dead pig and find it again. The medium has a strong sense of death, not only for humans but also for animals. Therefore, in "The Road to the Ghost", Meiko Miyazaki was able to find Lin Guanghai's skull.
As the process of going up the mountain, while the Marquis's spiritual sense was emitted, the people around him also began to prepare.
However, at this time Mo Niansheng noticed that his shadow became increasingly dimming among the shadows of the trees on the mountain. However, there was nothing we could do about it. Although the script was not dangerous next, they obviously would not act completely according to the script. They would definitely explore those unknown areas and understand what is in this place.
After climbing the mountain for a while, the Marquis finally sensed it.
But what I sensed was not a dead pig, but...
The breath of a living person.
So he walked towards that direction.
Ye Xiang also followed immediately, and next he could meet people from other theaters.
Soon, a figure appeared in the sea of trees ahead. The man was holding a cigarette in his mouth and was smoking a mist. He looked like a man in his thirties and wearing a pair of glasses.
That man is Li Xinling!
At this time, Li Xinling also noticed the Marquis and others.
Chapter completed!
