Chapter 3 Night Comes
Luo Yi looked at the strong man and felt that he was indeed a normal person.
However, in this strange and unpredictable place, Luo Yi dared not trust anyone.
Luo Yi and the strong man chatted for a while, and the strong man told Luo Yi that his name was Shen Yi and that his ancestors had lived in Shuishan Village for generations.
"Have you been to Yanjiang?" Luo Yi asked casually.
"No." Shen Yi shook his head.
Luo Yi chatted with Shen Yi for a while, and he found that Shen Yi seemed to have been living in Shuishan Village.
"Don't you want to see the outside world?" Luo Yi asked cryptically.
"The outside world?" Shen Yi seemed a little confused and said, "There are mountains outside, what is there to see?"
Luo Yi felt that Shen Yi's behavior and thinking were a bit strange, but it was not easy to ask more questions for the time being, so as not to reveal the truth, so he could only wait and see what happens.
The bronze mirror said that it was necessary to find out the secrets of Shuishan Village and find the Mingren in it. Luo Yi had some thoughts about the secrets.
But Luo Yi was still confused about what Mingren was.
Late at night, Shen Yi arranged a guest room for Luo Yi, and Luo Yi curled up on his bed, slowly digesting everything that happened unexpectedly.
"Am I being manipulated by some force?"
"Or am I being favored by some laboratory and using me for experiments?"
"Or am I dreaming?"
"Pa!" Luo Yi gave himself a very loud slap.
"Ouch!" Luo Yi grimaced in pain. The pain was too real.
"It's not a dream." Luo Yi covered his face and said, "Maybe the answer will emerge as I complete the task."
Luo Yi took out a bronze mirror. It was a very simple bronze mirror. One side was smooth and delicate, and the other side was engraved with complex patterns.
"This bronze mirror looks very valuable."
The style of the bronze mirror reminded Luo Yi of a piece from a certain dynasty that was auctioned not long ago and sold for over five million.
The more Luo Yi looked at it, the more he felt that the piece in his hand might be more valuable.
But Luo Yi only dared to think about it. As for selling?
The power of this bronze mirror made Luo Yi frightened. He didn't want to suffocate to death.
"What is Mingren?" Luo Yi asked in a low voice.
Since the bronze mirror can know Luo Yi's thoughts in the morning and give him a map, Luo Yi believes that the bronze mirror can also tell him what Mingren is.
"Mingren is someone just like you." Bronze Mirror did not disappoint Luo Yi and gave the answer.
"People like me?" Luo Yi felt that this range was a bit wide.
People like him, are they men? Young people? Handsome guys?
…
"A bright person is a living person." Another line of words appeared on the bronze mirror.
Luo Yi looked at the line of words on the bronze mirror in the dim light and felt a chill on her back.
"People of Ming Dynasty are living people. Is it possible that all the people in Shuishan Village are dead?"
Luo Yi carefully thought about the people he met in the evening. They were all living, flesh-and-blood people.
"Mingren are living people who stray into the hidden world. They are lost, and the mission of the life detective is to take them home." Another line of words was displayed on the bronze mirror.
"This village is a hidden world, which means it is not directly connected to the world I am in."
Luo Yi felt amazing and shocked.
It also explains why there is no location for Shuishan Village on the mobile phone, because it does not exist in that world at all.
Luo Yi felt that his life had been overturned for the first time, and he was exposed to a whole new world.
…
Luo Yi wanted to ask something else, but there was no movement on the bronze mirror, which kept displaying task prompts.
"Please go to Shuishan Village under Fenghuang Mountain today to find out the secrets of Shuishan Village and find out the wise people among them."
"Remember, Akito has special characteristics."
"After the mission is completed, you will receive an uncertain reward."
"Mingren has special characteristics?" Luo Yi was on the verge of tears. "You can explain what's so special."
"Also, are you not sure what the reward means?" Luo Yi felt that it was too difficult for him.
Luo Yi looked at the bronze mirror, which made no reply. Luo Yi discovered something else.
"Is this a countdown?" Luo Yi looked at the number on the mirror that looked like a twelve-hour countdown and felt a little panicked.
Is there still a time limit?
To be completed within twelve hours?
As for the punishment for failing to complete the task, Luo Yi has already experienced the feeling of suffocation.
It was quiet late at night, but Luo Yi couldn't sleep. In addition to being worried about the unknown, he also heard some noises.
Someone came to Shen Yi's house, and there was more than one.
Listening to the faint sound, Luo Yi could tell that many people had come to Shen Yi's house and were discussing something in low voices.
Luo Yi was wary, carefully got out of bed, walked to the door and eavesdropped.
"Can piggy be eaten?"
"Okay, but it's too small. I'm afraid it won't be enough." Luo Yi recognized that it was Shen Yi's voice.
"One little bit is enough, that's enough."
"Xiaoyi has to make the decision on this matter. The pig belongs to him."
"Okay, let's split up tonight." Shen Yi's voice reached Luo Yi's ears.
"Piggy?" Luo Yi asked doubtfully: "Didn't Shen Yi say he was the only one? Why did someone come to share things with him so late at night?"
"Holy shit, the piggy they are talking about can't be me, right?" Luo Yi thought in horror.
At this time, the sound of footsteps came, heading towards Luo Yi's room.
Luo Yi suddenly felt like a frightened bird. He quickly returned to the bed quietly. Luo Yi took out a knife from his backpack and held it in his hand. Then he pretended to be asleep.
The footsteps were very light, but in the quiet atmosphere, Luo Yi heard them very clearly.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and Luo Yi's heart became more and more nervous.
Just now he overheard Shen Yi discussing Piggy with some people, talking about how little was enough, what was enough, and so on.
Luo Yi couldn't help but have some random thoughts in his head, and immediately someone came to his room.
Luo Yi thought: "Could it be that these people were really discussing dividing my body parts just now?"
Crunch!
There was a slight sound of pushing the door, and Luo Yi's body couldn't help but stiffen. The palm of his hand holding the knife was full of sweat.
Luo Yi was highly concentrated. He thought that after the man came over, he would strike first and catch him off guard.
However, the man outside the door had no intention of doing anything to Luo Yi. He just stood there for a moment and then closed the door and left.
Hearing the footsteps fading away, Luo Yi relaxed and breathed a sigh of relief all over his body. He could hear his own rapidly beating heart just now.
"Are you here to see if I'm asleep?" Luo Yi guessed.
Luo Yi didn't know what would have happened if he hadn't fallen asleep?
However, it probably isn't a good thing.
"It seems that I have to understand the situation of this Shuishan Village as soon as possible."
There are many secrets in Shuishan Village, and it is difficult to find out.
Moreover, the bronze mirror does not specifically indicate what should be checked?
Luo Yi just wanted to find out the secret. Luo Yi was going to ask Shen Yi for a little sneak peek after dawn to see if he could dig out something.
At this point, let me recite a poem:
The night is unpredictable and confusing.
Chapter completed!
