Chapter 158 connecting the dots(1/2)
Shen Lin's appearance was a bit unexpected.
Yang Jian, Liu San, Li Jun, and A Hong watched him emerge from the sewer outlet, not only wet but also wearing a woman's dress.
"Shen Lin, what happened over there?" Li Jun came over immediately. He pulled Shen Lin and asked him to leave the sewer.
Liu San asked, "You just said you knew where the ghost lake is? Are there any new clues?"
"The ghost lake is not in Zhongzhou City, right?" Yang Jian frowned, roughly guessing.
Shen Lin shook off the water on his body, took off his wet clothes, and then said: "I successfully entered the Ghost Lake before, survived, and got some key information, but unfortunately, I haven't yet I encountered a powerful ghost at the source, but I have roughly locked the location of the ghost lake."
"Where is the ghost lake?" Li Jun asked.
Shen Lin smiled. He walked to the clothing store on the roadside, picked up a piece of men's clothing and put it on. Then he said, "It doesn't really matter where you are."
"What do you mean?" Li Jun frowned.
Shen Lin said: "Ghost lakes can appear in any place, whether it is Zhongzhou City, Daxia City, or even Dachang City... Ghost lakes will appear in every place affected by supernatural beings. It can affect reality but also It does not exist in reality and is an indescribable supernatural place.”
"If you say it, you haven't said it yet."
Liu San frowned and said: "And it's not just you who entered the Ghost Lake. I also entered the Ghost Lake. Yang Jian also found the killing pattern of the Ghost Lake. If you trigger it actively, you can also enter the Ghost Lake."
"We all have a way to enter Ghost Lake."
"Really? But you will most likely die after entering the ghost lake. How did Cao Yang get into trouble? It may be because of this reason. You cannot easily set foot in that lake, otherwise the captain-level ghost controller will also drown in the lake. , if you want to solve it, there are only two ways."
"Either lead the ghost into the real world, or enter the supernatural space where the ghost is, but the premise is not to trigger the murderous rules of the ghost, otherwise you may not be able to cope with it after entering and die there."
After speaking, Shen Lin looked at the three of them and said the most important sentence: "I have clues that will not trigger the murder pattern and enter the ghost lake."
"If you have something to say, just say it directly, don't hide it."
Yang Jian said in a deep voice: "Do you think we are patient enough to chat with you here?"
"Yes, I need to change my slowness."
Shen Lin said: "Then I will tell you directly. After I entered the ghost lake, I saw a small river leading to the ghost lake. That river existed in the supernatural space and extended into reality. If I guessed correctly, The Ghost Lake Incident happened because of that river."
"Are you saying that the water in the ghost lake came to reality through that river, so it caused a supernatural event? If you can find that river and go upstream, you can successfully enter the ghost lake? "Yang Jian immediately understood Shen Lin's position.
Li Jun asked a little impatiently: "Where is that river?"
Shen Lin stretched out his hand and pointed forward: "That direction."
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go."
Yang Jian stopped dragging his feet and immediately used the Ghost Domain to lead everyone directly in the direction pointed by Shen Lin.
soon.
They temporarily left the city center of Zhongzhou City and came to the outskirts of the city.
There is indeed a river here, neither big nor small. The water is turbid and cold. There are still a few corpses floating in the water. There are no maggots or flies around the corpses, but there is only a faint smell of corpses.
"There is indeed a problem with this river, is it here?" Yang Jian stopped and looked at Shen Lin.
Shen Lin said: "It is this river, but it is just one of the places affected by the supernatural. It is not the correct connection point. It is still ahead."
After saying that, he stretched out his hand again.
far away.
A small town caught everyone's eyes.
It was a relatively historic town, with blue bricks and gray tiles, stone paving roads, and you could vaguely see many colorful lights hanging on the houses, which was full of antique flavor.
"A Hong, check it out." Li Jun said immediately.
A Hong immediately started to check the information, and after a while he said: "That is Ping'an Ancient Town, a characteristic tourist town that Zhongzhou City has vigorously developed in recent years..."
She quickly recounted the information about the town.
"There's nothing surprising from the information." Li Jun looked at the others: "Do you have any other opinions?"
Liu San frowned and said: "A small town with historical heritage is extraordinary."
"The history can be traced back to the Republic of China, and it is not newly built in recent years,"
Yang Jian said coldly: "The source of the ghost lake now emerges from there. That town is probably very unusual."
really.
The thing I was most worried about happened.
The Ghost Lake incident was not an accident, but involved an ancient town.
Now things get complicated.
"Many tourists have traveled there before, and there were no problems," A Hong said.
Yang Jian said: "Before the knocker incident happened in Dachang City, I was still in school, and there was no problem. After I came out, I no longer thought so."
"There are still people living in that town, including old residents of the original ancient town, tourists who were temporarily left there during their travels, and some citizens of Zhongzhou City."
Li Jun's eyes narrowed slightly: "We have to evacuate all those people."
"The matter has not been determined yet. There is no rush to evacuate them. Let's go and take a look first," Yang Jian said.
Liu San said: "I think so too. There's nothing going on over there now, so why should we bother to break the balance? If something goes wrong, it's not too late to move people. With Yang Jian's method, a city can be emptied out in a few seconds. Otherwise, Talk about a small town."
"What if there is supernatural interference?" Liu Jun said.
"There has been supernatural interference."
Yang Jian peered through the ghost eyes and saw that some buildings in the town were distorted and his vision was affected in some way. There seemed to be something special mixed in the ancient town, but the impact was not serious enough. He did not dare to conclude that there was something in the town. There are ghosts, or there are ghost masters of the older generation.
"Go over and take a look and everything will become clear. The source is in that ancient town. Maybe we can find some clues." Shen Lin said.
"Let's act together." Li Jun reminded.
soon.
The group of them stepped on the road paved with bluestones and arrived at the stone archway in front of the town.
Taiping Ancient Town.
The archway is new, a modern building built in Taiping Ancient Town in recent years, not an old archway.
They walked directly into this ancient town without much hesitation.
Some streets in the ancient town are newly built, but when Zhongzhou City funded the construction of this ancient town, it also retained the historical features of the ancient town. Some old streets and old buildings are also well preserved.
Several people seemed to feel something, and they seemed to be attracted by something. Although they didn't know the way, they walked in the direction of the old streets of Taiping Ancient Town.
"There seems to be something unusual. You should also feel it." Liu San whispered to himself.
"Yeah." Several people responded softly.
Yang Jian said: "Feng Quan, don't follow me, stay in the newly built street, just in case, I need someone to respond outside."
"I understand." Feng Quan said nothing, just nodded, turned and left.
Because keep moving forward.
They saw another archway.
It is also made of stone, but due to the influence of wind and sun, this archway has been weathered and worn severely. It is dark, old, and incomplete. Even the four characters of Taiping Ancient Town have become blurred. What?
It looks like it says Shikou Town.
However, this ancient town seems not to have been much affected by Zhongzhou City.
There is still a lot of popularity here.
There are pedestrians on the road and some shops are open for business.
"This place is so close to Zhongzhou City and there is no blockade." Li Jun said in surprise.
A Hong said: "Some cities downstream were not blocked when there were accidents. Even though they are close here, there were no accidents, so there was no blockade."
"So that's it." Li Jun nodded, understanding.
The scope of the Ghost Lake's influence is too large. If it were blocked just because it was close, I don't know how many cities would have to be blocked.
Yang Jian was already walking in this ancient town at this moment. His ghost eyes peeked everywhere and could see many things that ordinary people could not see.
But for the time being, he didn't find anything special.
This place is just like an ordinary tourist town, unremarkable, but if you observe it from outside the ancient town before, there is indeed a problem here, but what the problem is, you still need a little exploration.
at this time.
Yang Jian saw a young couple walking towards each other on the streets of the ancient town.
A ghostly look.
That's right, these are just two ordinary people, there's nothing strange about them.
but.
Yang Jian's ghostly eyes suddenly saw that the young woman was holding a mask in her hand. The mask was a toy and very new. She should have bought it at a stall nearby.
Masks like this are common in any tourist attraction.
