Chapter 1 The cabin in the woods does not exist on the map

Yu Lianyun was walking on the coastal road in Yonghu Town, Itai City, with his head lowered, his hands folded around his chest, and he walked silently with a three-layer thick cotton jacket under his arms.

It was the dog days of summer, and a large number of tourists who came to coastal cities to escape the summer came to this tourist town in Itai City. It was difficult for tourists walking in and out of the beach not to notice the strange woman.

In this scorching summer weather, there are still people who dare to dress as if they are wearing winter clothes. If they are not mentally ill, or just to shoot a video, it is difficult to explain such sensational behavior.

However, all the tourists passing by this woman frowned, and some of them expressed creepy similar feelings after running back to their companions:

"Is it a psychological effect or something? When I stand next to that lunatic, I always feel numb, cold from the inside out."

"Just now, I seemed to see that guy spitting out white mist. Isn't this something you can only see in winter?"

Yu Lianyun ignored anyone and moved forward with his eyes closed until he reached the end of the coastal road.

The noisy sounds in her ears gradually disappeared, but she did not feel any relief, because when the human voices were no longer heard and the environment became quiet, another sound began to increase in intensity, and at the same time it brought more

There is an untraceable, soul-piercing low temperature.

"Taiyang... we have to find that store before the sun goes down." Yu Lianyun looked at the sun at noon, as if he had already seen the night fall, and panic flashed in his eyes.

After crossing the coast road and crossing two roads, she came to the foot of a hill and in front of a narrow stone step. Then she put away the mobile phone with the navigation on it. Because there was no record of the navigation on the way back,

There were no directions on where she wanted to go.

She could only piece together a rough location based on the information gleaned from the comments of netizens on the Internet, and then she could only use the most primitive method - using her eyes and imagination to find it.

There were no hand guards on the stone steps, and the steps were narrow. If Yu Lianyunruo was going up the steps, only half of her foot could step on the stone steps with each step. It was very dangerous, so she had to go up the mountain sideways, like a

The clumsy stuffed bear worker has to keep his clothes and maintain his balance.

The stone steps were only about ten meters high, but after climbing it, Yu Lianyun felt that she had spent most of her energy today, but she had no time to stop and rest. She took another look at what she had written by herself and had memorized it by heart.

On the guide paper, he recited silently: "Take the gravel road in the middle, walk 66 steps and then hit the corner, turn left again, continue walking 44 steps, and you will see a small house with a combination of Chinese and Western styles."

She followed the guide and walked onto the gravel road. She began to count the steps in her mind. She first walked straight for sixty-six steps, then turned left and walked straight for forty-four steps. When she looked up again, the scenery of the woods changed drastically.

I saw a large locust tree not far away, growing around the house, lush and shaded. In front of the house, there were eight ghost willows with twisted branches planted neatly beside the cold pool. The bark of each willow tree looked like human skin.

They were all cracked open, revealing "sad faces", as if countless souls who died unjustly were bound in that willow tree.

Yu Lianyun's legs and feet were trembling and her teeth were chattering. It was really scary that such a simple and solemn mansion was hidden in the deep mountains and old forests. But when she saw a rustic shop sign that was common in the 2000s placed in front of the mansion.

Later, she couldn't help but doubt the correctness of her journey.

I saw colorful words such as "Lin Ling's Wonderful House", "10 for fakes", "Invalid Refund", "Medicine will cure the disease" and other colorful words written on the red tape of the shop sign.

The neon light special effects that are only available in the hall look very informal.

Is this a haunted house? Is it a dollhouse? Or is it the exorcist shop she's looking for? Why does it look so like a deceptive shop?

But now, she has reached her destination and there is no way out.

As the saying goes, you have come, no matter what, you have to go in and take a look.

As I approached, there were two hideous fanged faces painted on the mahogany door, one red and one green, with a sinister look. The interlocking door handle had an "Open" sign, indicating that customers had to push the door to enter.

Lian Yun did as he was told and entered the store.

Entering the old house paved with gray bricks, Yu Lianyun's eyes were shocked by the crowded shelves in front of her. She felt as if she had entered a library with a huge collection of books, but the things on the shelves were not just books.

, there are also all kinds of sundries, including books, antiques, modern appliances, church secrets, and ordinary daily necessities...

There seems to be no logic in the arrangement of objects. Valuable objects such as antiques and cultural relics may be placed together with modern defective items, and biological specimen-like objects may also be placed side by side with modern industrial puppets.

, the pattern of their display is completely puzzling.

But the strange thing is that Yu Lianyun feels that there is no problem with the placement of these things, because they all seem to have a commonality that she can't explain. It is that weird commonality that makes them look very harmonious.

Yu Lianyun, who was dressed in bloated clothes, walked carefully through the aisles between the narrow shelves, browsing the strange items on the front and rear shelves, and looking for the owner of the store. Her mind was thinking at the same time.

A strange thought flashed across his mind: "Are these all the magic exorcism tools of this store?"

After finally getting through the shelf, Yu Lianyun was exhausted from walking all the way. He was panting and holding on to his knees, resting on the spot.

"Madam, if you are so tired, why not sit down and take a rest." A clear and gentle voice suddenly broke the silence of the store.

Yu Lianyun looked up to the place where the sound came from, and saw a young man about seventeen or eight years old sitting in front of the coffee table not far away, smiling at her. The other person had a delicate voice and elegant posture. He was like a statue.

The handsome but eccentric wax figure is so deeply integrated into this quirky shop that it's almost impossible to notice his presence until the person speaks.

There is a shrine behind the young man. The two white candles lit on the left and right sides of the shrine are not the common red candles. The halo of the candlelight shines behind the young man, like two cautious golden eyes looking at her. Yu Lianyun can't help but subconsciously

's breath holding.

In recent days, she had encountered too many unspeakable things. Yu Lianyun's heartbeat could not help but speed up at this time, and she felt an inexplicable terror.

It's just... this kind of terror seems to be completely different from the horrific events she has experienced these days.

Suddenly, a strange cry was heard from behind the young man, and a black figure jumped out from the darkness that could not be illuminated by candlelight, and stood on the shrine. It turned out to be a black cat from nowhere, with an unusual thickness.

Cat paw, I can’t tell what kind of cat it is.

That cat is probably cute, but people don't dare to think so. There is a little black rim in its golden cat eyes, and the spiritual radiance flows in those smart eyes.

There is a folk saying that cats are psychic. Cats have nine lives. Compared with dogs, they have a more independent character. The older the cat, the more humane emotions it can show. This is how this cat felt to her.

.

The black cat swung its tail and stood on the desk. Its tail swept back and forth over a decapitated statue of a god in official uniform and a statue of a Zen monk covered with a bloody yellow cloth. It looked at her, looked back indifferently, and then quietly retreated back.

In the darkness, it slowly closed its bright golden eyes.

At this time, Yu Lianyun realized that there was no main god enshrined on this shrine, but there were only two statues of the left and right guardians with broken limbs, and the so-called offerings did not exist.

How strange!

If the store does not worship gods, why does it have a special shrine in the store? If it worships gods, why does it treat them so disrespectfully?

Yu Lianyun felt that the store, just like the items in his store, was not normal.

After hearing what the young man said, Yu Lianyun only thought that the young man was an employee of the store. She shook her head and asked, "Isn't the boss here?"

The young man's brows sank, his eyebrows were evenly aligned, showing a somewhat helpless look, and he said, "My name is Lin Ling, and I am the boss here."

Only then did Yu Lianyun realize that he had misunderstood and apologized quickly.

"Have a cup of tea and take a rest. You've been sweating a lot." Lin Ling smiled gently. He exuded a faint aroma, which was the kind of fireworks and incense that Yu Lianyun had only smelled in Taoist temples and Buddhist temples.

, but Yu Lianyun had never seen an incense burner in the house, and the smell seemed to be emanating from the inside out of the young man's body.

Yu Lianyun wanted to refuse, but when she recalled that the young man said she was sweating, she couldn't help but be startled. Only then did she understand the reason why her body was getting heavier. It was not that the strange disease that had been bothering her recently was getting worse.

, but it was caused by her sweat soaking her thick cotton-padded clothes, which became heavy and "muddy" and very uncomfortable to wear.

"How could it be..." Yu Lianyun murmured to herself. The confusion did not bring her deeper despair, but instead made her eyes gradually reveal a bright light.

She took off her coat and cotton hat, revealing her proud curves and a slightly embarrassed but pitifully pretty face.

After regaining his normal sense of body, Yu Lianyun seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw. He bent deeply towards the young man and begged: "Boss, no, sir, please help me."

Lin Ling's smile was as gentle as before: "If you have anything to do, please sit down and have a cup of tea first, and then talk about it slowly."

Yu Lianyun didn't dare to refuse anymore, and sat down opposite Lin Ling respectfully. She took a sip of the fragrant tea and exclaimed that it was a good tea. She greedily rubbed the hot temperature of the teacup while tremblingly telling her story about herself.

That was an unbearable experience.

Yu Lianyun narrated that the horrible thing happened half a month ago. To this day, the memories are like nightmares. Every time I close my eyes, I can remember every detail of that experience.

In line with the background of global unification and the great integration of the world's nationalities, Yu Lianyun, who graduated from one of the top 50 medical universities in the world, became a forensic doctor. Together with her father, who has been in this industry for many years, she opened a private autopsy clinic in Jiannian City.

Place.

Their family can be considered as coroners and coroners for generations, with excellent inheritance, superb craftsmanship, and outstanding abilities. Their skills have helped local law enforcement solve many major cases, and they have become somewhat famous in the local area.

Therefore, almost any local difficult case related to corpses, law enforcement officials would come to their house for help.

But just half a month ago, an old acquaintance, Lao Chen from the Fourth Law Enforcement Team of Jiannian City, sent over an unknown body as usual and asked them to help with the autopsy.

Lao Chen said that during a recent operation to arrest a prisoner, a law enforcement officer accidentally fell into a sinkhole while fighting with the enemy while chasing a prisoner. Fortunately, the prisoner fell to his death on the spot. The law enforcement officer

He was safe and sound, but at this moment, the law enforcement officers made new discoveries at the scene where the prisoner fell to death. It seemed that this place had once been a place where some folk ceremony was held, but it had been abandoned for a long time.

The place where the prisoner fell to his death happened to open a hidden hole. There seemed to be something underneath. When the hole was dug, everyone discovered that there was such a young girl in a red wedding dress buried inside.

The girl's youthful appearance was visible to the naked eye, and even a layman could tell how fresh the corpse was, and that it had been dead for no more than two days.

The law enforcement officers thought that the girl was from several nearby villages, and according to an old law enforcement officer who grew up in the local area, the girl's appearance was very consistent with the characteristics of the local people, so the law enforcement officers went to the nearby villages.

The village inquired and investigated, asking if there were any missing people in the village, but later it was discovered that there were almost no missing people in several villages recently, and even if there were, they did not match the appearance of the deceased.

No way, the unknown girl could only be sent to the autopsy for autopsy first, so as to facilitate subsequent investigations.

So, Yu Lianyun and her father started an autopsy on the girl.

But what no one expected at the time was that it was their act of conducting an autopsy on the girl that allowed them to discover the horrific secret hidden in the body. This secret brought her and her father into boundless fear and even eternal destruction.

I'm a newbie... I'm a veteran, I'm humble and asking for collection and tickets.
