At 7:30 in the morning, Qin Wenyu suddenly opened his eyes.

Tengu glanced at him and continued to think.

He has been thinking for several hours, turning on the mask from time to time to pay attention to the movement around him.

What he didn't expect was that the second half of the night was very calm, and the twisted snake-shaped ghost seemed to be full and disappeared at all.

"Thanks a lot."

Qin Wenyu said hello.

Tengu glanced at him unexpectedly: "You are like two people during the day and at night."

Qin Wenyu rubbed his temples and said without raising his head, "Really? Maybe it's like what you said, I also have two personalities."

The conversation between the two made Takahashi Uzuki's eyelashes tremble, and then she also opened her eyes.

"Has the rain stopped?"

Qin Wenyu looked outside the cave and nodded.

The rain that had been raining all night finally stopped, and the bright sun slanted across the sky. This was the morning light, and the branches and leaves in the forest were covered with a layer of gold, making them look extraordinarily vibrant and alive.

Qin Wenyu left the cave, took out a little mineral water from his backpack and washed his face.

Tengu and Takahashi Uzuki also came out one after another.

"You are such a waste, isn't there a river there? You also use drinking water to wash your face." Tengu muttered.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Tengu himself was taken aback.

Then, the three of them turned their heads to look at the river at the same time...

Takahashi Uzuki trembled all over: "It... is it moving?"

The river was obviously at least two or three hundred meters away from here last night, but after one night, it was less than twenty meters away from them!

The strangeness visible to the naked eye silenced all three of them.

"Actually, I wanted to ask you last night, how did you fall into the river, and...the water in that river has no buoyancy at all."

Qin Wenyu said.

After hearing the word buoyancy, the eyes of Tengu, who had been thinking about it for most of the night, suddenly lit up!

"Shen corpse... the abyss."

A smile appeared on his face: "I see..."

Qin Wenyu trembled all over after receiving the reminder of the abyss of corpses, and said, "So that's how it is."

Takahashi Uzuki looked at the two and asked, "What's wrong?"

At this time, Tiangou was already walking towards the river twenty meters away, Qin Wenyu turned around and went into the cave to pick up his backpack: "Follow him."

When the three of them came to the river, the water was still turbid and cold, but compared to yesterday, its color was darker.

"Miss Takahashi, your guess is correct. Fire Man was indeed a ghost from the beginning. The question that bothers us is, since he is a ghost, why did he expose himself so early? Doesn't this go against his original intention of pretending to be a man?" ?” Tengu squatted by the river and said.

"Well, I don't understand that either."

Uzuki Takahashi said.

"Actually, it's very simple. The rules of the sacrificial banquet are not all beneficial to ghosts. It can even be said that most of the rules are restricted to ghosts. The same is true here. At first, Huo Nan wanted to disguise himself as a human and infiltrate our team. One by one, he killed one by one, but he didn't succeed for one reason - it was stopped by the rules." Tengu looked at the river and said confidently.

Takahashi Maoyue turned her head to look at Qin Wenyu and shook her head, she still didn't understand.

Qin Wenyu took the words of Tengu and said, "Recall carefully, yesterday, after we suddenly found the body of Tengu, what happened next?"

"Encountered... this river?" Uzuki Takahashi said.

"Yes, you still remember that monster's appearance, short, smooth, with scales on its body, but... it can be hurt by us." Qin Wenyu said while thinking about yesterday's picture: "Whether it's me, or Tengu, they wounded it with self-defense daggers, and even killed it, and after it died, it emerged as a fire man, why?"

Takahashi Uyuki is not stupid, how could she still not understand when she talks about this?

"What do you mean, this river is what restricts it? Because it didn't dare to cross the river with us, so it feigned death in advance in the forest that was about to reach the river bank, and then it attacked us in the river... Yes! Here's the proof! In this river, it's so fragile that it can even be wounded by human weapons!"

Speaking of this, Takahashi Uyuki frowned: "Wait a minute, since this river has such a big restriction on it, why does it have to attack us in the river? Isn't this bad for it?"

"That's a good question, Eldest Young Lady."

Tengu snapped his fingers, pointed to the river, and said, "It's not what it wants, it's a last resort. I guess, after it gets out of its camouflage state, it should need to eat as soon as possible, so it attacks us impatiently."

"So, the fire man's body appeared for the second time just after we successfully crossed the river, is that also because of this?" Uzuki Takahashi asked.

"Yes, the current situation is that in the first round, the body of "Fire Man" appeared in the bushes, and then it appeared at the bottom of the river to attack. In the second round, the body of "Fire Man" grew on a tree branch It turned into a human-shaped python and chased us all night. Logically speaking, this sacrificial banquet lasted for three days, and the second round of pursuit should have appeared today, but it appeared yesterday, so ...I only came to this conclusion because it failed the first round of attacks, did not get any prey, it was very hungry..."

"Wait! So, Ms. Kojima Mist is really not dead yet?" Takahashi Uzuki discovered the problem.

"This..." Tengu looked at her and said pointedly, "I'm going to ask the knight who is staring at us secretly, the knight exclusively for you..."

watch...

The reason why Qin Wenyu proposed the rule of "watching" yesterday was because he had the feeling of being watched, and... the feeling that the ghost was in the team.

Now it seems that the gaze from others is really Yu Muyi.

"However, although I want to understand who the ghost is and the logic of the ghost's actions, I still don't understand where the life is going." Tengu scratched his hair irritably, "This river is approaching us step by step, and it is both an anti-ghost to the ghost. The limit is also the limit for us. I am worried that the river encloses the area where we can move into a circle. It gradually approaches us, which is actually restricting our activity area. In the end, when the ghost appears, we may not be at all. The place ran away."

"You'll know if you try it."

Qin Wenyu's voice made Yu Muyi raise his head.

"what do you mean?"

"Well," Qin Wenyu looked towards the upstream of the river, "I want to know where the source of these waters is. Since the ghosts react to these waters, it means that the origin of these waters is not simple. , or... from an abyss."

Tengu's eyes suddenly lit up: "You are right!"

take a day off
