Black Water Town.
There was a light drizzle in the afternoon.
The potholes on the bluestone floor had accumulated a lot of rainwater, and the town was filled with a humid atmosphere.
The surroundings were filled with red bricks, green tiles, and horse-head walls, giving off a strong ancient atmosphere.
A group of people held umbrellas and walked on the streets.
"We're back …"
Yue Shan looked at the surrounding buildings and some doors. There were a few familiar yet strange figures, and he couldn't help but feel emotional.
"This time, we'll definitely find the truth!"
Yue Qin clenched her fists tightly.
Chu He didn't say anything, holding the express delivery with both his hands.
It was a folder as thick as a finger. It seemed to contain some kind of document or a very thick letter.
Beside him, Murong Hong held an umbrella for him.
This group of strange people immediately attracted the attention of the villagers.
"What … do you guys do?"
A middle-aged man holding a black umbrella looked at the newcomer suspiciously.
"You're … Uncle Gou Zi?"
Yue Shan stepped forward and smiled. "I'm Xiao Shan … These are our friends, they're here for a vacation."
"Yue Clan's Xiao Shan?!"
Uncle Gou Zi looked at Yue Shan carefully, then looked at Yue Qin beside him. "You're Xiao Qin? Aiyaya, a girl really changes eighteen times between womanhood and womanhood. I can't recognize you at all. "
"These are people from our company. We came out for an autumn vacation together, but the travel agency we applied for went bankrupt and ran away …"
Yue Shan casually made up a lie. "I asked them to stay at my house for a night. We have a lot of houses anyway … But we don't have much to eat at night. Get someone to send some food from your hometown over. City people like farmhouses …"
"That's fine!"
Uncle Gou Zi took the five hundred yuan and immediately became much more enthusiastic. "There's a farmhouse in our town. It's opened by the Han Clan's third son. I'll personally deliver the food to you. It's very convenient!"
He left happily. When he returned home, he saw his old father facing the empty door with a dazed expression. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "Dad, what's wrong?"
"Yue Xue, I think I saw Yue Xue Zai coming back …"
The old man's eyes were a little cloudy. He had been sent to the hospital and was diagnosed with dementia.
Uncle Dog immediately smiled. "That's not Yue Xue. It's Yue Xue's son, Xiao Shan. Xiao Qin is back too. Look at them. They're a bunch of colleagues from the company. They're all well-dressed, and all of them are very rich. If we build a good relationship with them, perhaps Xiao Yu's job will be secured …"
"Ghost!"
Before he could finish his sentence, he saw the muscles on his father's face contort. An expression of extreme fear appeared on his face as he fell to the ground. "Yue Shan … ghost!"
"Well, I thought you were better now that you've gotten to know someone. Turns out you've gotten muddle-headed again …"
Uncle Dog shook his head helplessly and hurriedly went forward to help his father up.
…
"I have a question …"
As Han Bingjie walked on the road, he touched the small wooden box in his arms and felt much more at ease.
As an indispensable purchasing agent, he and Wise Man Chu He had a share of the spiritual items.
The last spiritual item was given to Wu Qi.
He was also thinking hard about the information that Yue Shan had given him, trying to deduce a way out. "If there's something strange going on in the Yue Clan Mansion, how could there only be one tragedy … After that, the Yue siblings and many other people searched the mansion, but they didn't find any relevant clues or traces …"
"Strange things don't always move within a fixed area. They might leave …"
Chu He replied calmly. "According to my speculation, there's another possibility. It's the theory of alternate dimensions …"
"Alternate dimensions?"
Yue Shan asked, "What do you mean?"
"You guys are still too inexperienced … If you had more work experience, you would know that some types of work involve different worlds. You can also call them Hell or the Netherworld … Usually, they are like two parallel lines to our world. It's basically impossible for them to intersect. However, at a certain time, or after certain conditions are met, they will overlap … Then, strange things will appear!"
"The most famous alternate dimension mission is not on our floor. It's on the 18th floor. A few of their team building missions involve one alternate dimension, or many of them, and all of them are related to bus number 444 …"
"It's a very strange spirit bus. It can connect to many different stations. Just the first few stations are connected to alternate dimensions of different depths. The degree of danger is extremely terrifying. They can encounter strange things at any time, or even a strange tide!"
"They even suspect that the final stop of that bus is the legendary Hell, or … the place where strange things are born …"
"So … Chu He, you suspect that the Yue Clan Mansion is also connected to an alternate dimension … The last time it was opened was when the tragedy happened?"
Wu Qi said thoughtfully, "After the tragedy, the strange things returned to another dimension. Naturally, we won't be able to find any clues in reality!"
Yue Qin's eyes suddenly lit up. "If that's the case, many things can be explained …"
For example, why did nothing happen to them even though they had been living there all this time?
"It's just a speculation. We'll have to wait and see …"
Chu He pushed his glasses up. Thinking of Cao Liuyu's example, his gaze became heavy as he looked at the Yue siblings.
… …
The Yue Clan Mansion was located at the outermost area of Black Water Town. It was a ten-minute walk from the town.
It occupied a very wide area. There were tall walls on all four sides that were painted snow white. There were traces of moss on the black tiles.
It was barren on all four sides. It seemed that very few people came here. It sat alone on the barren land, looking very cold and cheerless. Furthermore, there were no windows, giving people a sense of oppression.
Wu Qi glanced at it and felt a little heavy in her heart.
"Wow! Yue Shan, your house is so big? I was worried that we wouldn't have enough space to live in … Your family must have been rich in the past! "
Han Bingjie looked at the huge house and made a heartless sound of envy.
"My family doesn't seem to be a landlord, but my ancestors should be quite rich. I remember when I was young, whenever there was something like a sacrifice in the village, someone would come to invite my grandfather, and then my father …"
Yue Shan looked at the tall walls and a trace of confusion appeared on his face.
"In ancient towns, other than being a landlord or a rich person, there is another possibility … Clergy, in our words, is a witch, a god, or a priest …"
Chu He sighed and said, "There is evidence here. These walls don't have any windows!"
After being reminded like this, Wu Qi finally realized why there was a trace of uneasiness in her heart.
Such a big wall, but there really wasn't a single window!
From afar, it looked like a huge tomb!
Even Han Bingjie's scalp started to tingle when he thought about staying in such an old mansion for a night …
