"Amitabha, I finally found you, hehehe!"

When this sentence comes out from the mobile phone,

Zhou Ze and Xu Qinglang turned their attention to the old Taoist beside them.

The expressions on the old Taoist's face were very colorful, some were shocked, some were frightened, some were hesitant, and some were at a loss.

Yes,

Zhou Ze and Xu Qinglang had said before that this voice sounded a bit familiar.

Now it has been proven that this is actually the voice of the veteran.

But it was because the human voice transmitted from the mobile phone was inevitably a little distorted, and Zhou Ze and Xu Qinglang had never thought that the veteran voice would appear in it, so they were caught in the dark.

But the phrase "Amitabha" followed by "pindao" is a common idiom of the old Taoist, especially the following "hehehe", which vividly explains the old Taoist's "meanness".

The old Taoist is a Taoist priest. His real name may even be forgotten by him sometimes. His name is Lu Fangweng. In ancient times, Lu You was also called "Fangweng" and was called Lu Fangweng. However, although he has the same name as the great ancient poet, the old Taoist's acting style is different. It’s not much more reasonable.

He has been chasing side jobs and wandering around the world. He has done almost everything for decades and has been ups and downs for most of his life. He has always thought that he is a Taoist priest, but he has no duty to be a Taoist priest. He has always hidden it in his crotch and has an inexhaustible supply. Apart from the ancestral talismans that still have some effect, there is almost no second characteristic of him that can be regarded as a Taoist priest.

Even when he usually speaks "Infinite Heavenly Lord", he often pronounces it as "Amitabha".

Seeing that the boss and Xu Qinglang were looking at me,

The old Taoist smiled sarcastically,

He pointed at his face and said:

"You can't think that Pindao and I are the mastermind behind this, right?"

All right,

Generally speaking,

The most insignificant and unlikely character at the beginning of a suspense drama often steps up to the stage at the end and tears off the veil to surprise everyone. He is actually the murderer, and those who dance happily from the beginning are suspected from the beginning. Often innocent.

But when we get to Laodao,

Is he the mastermind behind this?

Is he standing behind and coordinating all this?

Xu Qinglang and Zhou Ze shook their heads slightly, "Let's go out first."

"Yep."

The two turned around and walked out of the restaurant.

Lao Dao was a little nervous at first, fearing that the boss and the others would misunderstand something, but seeing that the boss and Lao Xu had given up their suspicion on him, Lao Dao suddenly felt a little lost.

This feeling of being "trusted" doesn't seem to be that happy.

"Boss, why don't you think about it again..."

Zhou Ze and Xu Qinglang continued to walk forward without looking back.

"It's okay to just show off..."

The old man was helpless and could only follow him out.

After leaving the restaurant and returning to the rented villa, they didn't see any other pedestrians along the way. The three of them returned to the hot spring pool.

Zhou Ze walked into the hot spring first and buried his face in it. When he raised his head again, he reached out and touched the water droplets on his face. The dark clouds in the sky and the dark atmosphere before had disappeared.

It seems right, this entrance is actually the hot spring.

Lao Dao and Xu Qinglang also came back. Their clothes were all wet. Obviously, the space they were in before was not a completely independent place, but a supernatural "environment" based on the real world.

For example, when they were lying in the hot spring, Zhou Ze and others were not wearing clothes. They waited for the old man to take out a thigh from the pool before running out of the pool, putting on clothes and leaving the room.

But now, the clothes are still on the three of them, and the old man is still wrapped in a bathrobe.

The hot spring pool is a bit like a hypnotic pendulum clock, allowing you to see more things, but in fact you may just see an "illusion", and you are still walking and moving in reality.

Sometimes, Zhou Ze couldn't help but wonder. There are many lunatics in this world who like to gossip and are regarded as typical examples of "sick brains and mental disorders" by the people around them. Does that mean that they are actually the ones who are mentally ill? Can we really see a "world" that is based on reality but is invisible to ordinary people?

Of course, this is just like the reports of so many natural and accidental deaths every year in various countries around the world. In fact, there are many hidden murders that have not been discovered and investigated at all. The specific circumstances are really unknown. .

Xu Qinglang took off his clothes and put on a bathrobe, then walked up to Zhou Ze and motioned to Zhou Ze to take off his wet clothes as well, and then hung their clothes together on hangers outside to dry.

Zhou Ze was sitting on the sofa in the living room, playing with his mobile phone in his hand.

The old Taoist sat next to him and made tea with freshly boiled water from the electric kettle, and took the initiative to hand Zhou Ze a cup.

Zhou Ze took the teacup, shook it, and said, "Old Xu, have you ever seen a movie called "The Shining"?"

"That horror movie?" Xu Qinglang asked.

"Well, I think the situation we are encountering now is somewhat similar to that in The Shining. Reality and fiction can't be distinguished clearly. In addition, the residents who died here and those who died nearby are all here together. The dining scene is very similar to the picture in "The Shining."

"So, what do you mean?" Xu Qinglang took a sip of tea, "You have such a big appetite?"

Zhou Ze shook his head, "I don't want to deal with the secrets of this place for the time being. It's here anyway, and there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. To be honest, I have almost forgotten why we came here.

Forget it, let's find the murderer of that family of three first and then talk about other things. The key is to find out who the ghost called, otherwise I always feel uncomfortable. "

Speaking of ghost calls, Zhou Ze looked at Lao Dao again. How did Lao Dao's voice appear on the phone?

Could it be that the person on the phone is a ventriloquist? Know how to imitate a seasoned voice and way of speaking?

"Ding dong... Ding dong..."

Someone is ringing the doorbell outside.

The old man got up and opened the door. There was a waiter standing outside. He asked with some concern: "Hello, I just wanted to ask if you need any help?"

"Help?" The old man was a little confused.

"It's like this. I saw the three of you walking around and talking in the restaurant before. I called you, but you didn't respond, so I came here specifically to consult. If you are hungry and want to eat, we can start a little earlier. After all, we are here now. The Lord doesn’t have many guests either.”

"No, thank you." The old Taoist refused.

"Okay, I won't disturb your rest." The waiter smiled and nodded.

The old man closed the door, and then shouted to Zhou Ze and others inside: "Boss, the hotel waiter came to see if we are collectively sleepwalking, haha."

"Next time, it's better not to go in together. At least one or two people should be left to watch." Zhou Ze said.

Xu Qinglang nodded, "I don't look very good right now. Let's wash my face and skin care first, and then make the next step in the evening."

"Okay, let's take a rest first." Zhou Ze agreed.

Immediately, Zhou Ze stood up and walked from the living room to the hot spring pool. He pointed at the hot spring pool and said, "Old Taoist, you first picked up a human leg here, right?"

"Yes, a woman's leg. If it's a man, it would probably have to be..." The old man said, glancing at the room quietly.

You must know that he really admitted his mistake at first, thinking that it was Lao Xu who was teasing him.

"Drain the water in the pool." Zhou Ze said.

The old man nodded. At this time, the hot spring pool had cooled down. Although the water was still warm, there was no mist. The old man went down with his bare feet to pull out the piston, and the water began to slowly drain down.

"Human legs, they should be real."

Zhou Ze lit a cigarette and said silently:

"This time it seems that the matter is a bit big. The family of three seemed to be just an instigator. The head of the family of three was cut off. It turned out that there was a leg in the hot spring pool."

Blow out a smoke ring,

"After the case of the family of three, the reason why this hot spring hotel can continue to operate is because the family of three died on the way down the mountain after checking out, and it was not an accident that happened in the hotel.

But the facts don’t seem to be like this. Lao Xu said before that the family of three were groping for their lost heads in the hotel room. Now it seems that someone here dismembered a body and left a leg I don’t know how long ago. Although the leg is now It is invisible, but since it can be seen by us in that state, it means that it has appeared before. "

"Boss, do you suspect that the murderer is an insider of this hotel?"

"It's not just that." Zhou Ze shook off the ashes, "I even began to wonder whether this is a hot spring resort hotel or a slaughterhouse."

As he spoke, Zhou Ze tried to grow the nails on his left hand, and a black mist immediately condensed in his palm. Then, Zhou Ze inserted his nails upside down by the hot spring pool.

This was Zhou Ze's method to find nearby dead souls in the past, but now he is just trying it casually. Anyway, he has no other clues now.

Who knew it would be better if I didn’t try?

As soon as I tried it, I discovered that there were actually black footprints here.

This string of footprints extends from the hot spring pool to the living room.

Really?

Zhou Ze raised his head and walked along the series of footprints.

The footprints turned a corner in the living room and went straight into the bathroom.

At this time, Xu Qinglang was washing his face with facial cleanser in the bathroom. He was applying skin care products to his face in front of the mirror and carefully touching himself in the mirror.

And the footprints,

After extending to the bathroom sink, it started to move upward again. It should be that thing climbed onto the sink.

After climbing onto the sink,

Where did it go again?

Zhou Ze reached out and patted Xu Qinglang on the shoulder.

"What?" Xu Qinglang asked while continuing to pat his face in the mirror.

Zhou Ze gently rubbed the mirror surface with his nails.

Xu Qinglang stopped flapping his hands,

And the self in the mirror,

But he continued to pat his face seriously and carefully,

No intention of stopping at all.

"Pa bang bang..."
