A Guest In A Ghost House - Chapter 176 Internal organs that were eaten

Luo Wen’s words didn’t surprise me a lot. After all, I just thought of this under Aunt Li’s reminder. I just didn’t know how to answer, but I could only tell the story of the disappearance of the son of Uncle Wang and his classmate to Luo Wen

How helpless Luo Wen was. I could understand what he was thinking in his heart. It seemed that he just wanted to leave here as soon as possible and never had to come here again. But there was a person died and some were missing. He couldn’t leave within a short time.

Luo Wen said: ” Where was the old lady of that day?”

I understand that he was asking about Witch Yan. He had seen the miraculous power of Witch Yan. It seemed that he knew he could not leave for a while and sought protection.

I told him that Witch Yan had gone out to find someone. The records of Luo Wen’s colleagues were finished. They decided to search around with the body as the center, and formed a mixed team of police and villagers. There was no other better way, there was about a dozen policemen, that’s not a small number, but it was just as a drop of water drop into a sea as if we were going to search mountains nearby. It would be lucky if nobody got loss regardless whether we could find our target.

The searched team started to set off, but it was renamed “Search and Rescue”. Luo Wen arranged himself, me and Aunt Li in a same group. At the beginning, he still wanted Aunt Li to go back because Aunt Li looked like an old woman. But after I concealed that Aunt Li’s ability was as good as Witch Yan, Luo Wen walked closely with Aunt Li in a brazen way. He said he was taking care of the elderly.

On one hand, I deeply disdain him for this; On the other hand, I also walked closely with Aunt Li. Helping the elderly was our traditional virtue.

The search was proceeding smoothly, but rescue was getting harder, because two more bodies were found, one man and one woman. I did not see the two bodies. I just heard that the internal organs had been eaten.

When the night was approaching, we finally came out of mountain. The night in the mountains was very insecure. What’s more, there was obviously a beast that could eat people. Of course, this was the official saying. Luo Wen told me in private, The forensic doctor had already determined that it was a man who had eaten the viscera of the three people. The forensic doctor had rushed back to start DNA identification.

I heard a lot of stories about people eating people. I knew that people exchanged their children and ate them. I also heard of the Amazon Cannibals. But when I actually face such a case, I was still very uncomfortable. The man had been eaten half of his internal organs echoed in my mind.

Even Aunt Li proposed to leave tonight, but was rejected by Luo Wen, of course, the way he refused was very euphemistic, that is, there were ruthless beast at night, it was best to leave during daytime. In my opinion, Luo Wen was frighten, hey, did not blame him. I was also frighten because it was more terrifying than ghosts.

I only had a bite for dinner, and then I went to the yard to smoke. Usually, in this time of a day, the yards in various houses and the open spaces in the village were filled with villagers chatting. But now, every house had its doors closed and all the lights were on. As if it was New Year, of course, just the light, the feeling was even worse than a ghost festival.

If it weren’t because Witch Yan and other weren’t ordinary people, I guessed I’d be the same with these villagers.

Looking at the open space in the village. There were a lot of police cars parking there, where the police were talking, they would not leave tonight. Luo Wen came and told me that, it was very likely that they would go back to the mountain and went on searching tonight.There was a golden time in case of searching and rescuing. Once this time was missed, the difficulty of rescue would increase greatly, what’s worse the rescue target would most likely die.

At that time, Luo Wen asked me to persuade Aunt Li and Witch Yan to cooperate with him. However, I didn’t agree with him. First, I couldn’t take the responsibility for a decision to Witch Yan. The second reason for me was selfish, I wanted to ensure the safety of Xue’er and my family.

Shortly after dinner, Luo Wen came with two policemen and said that there were several people in the village were going to accompany them for search and rescue at night. He hoped some of us could also join them.

I looked at who were waiting in the open air. It was Uncle Wang’s relatives and some of the dauntless young guys of village. To my surprised, Uncle Zhao was also there, he was walking on crutches toward us.

I understood that Uncle Zhao was came to ask Witch Yanfor help.

As expected, Uncle Zhao requested Witch Yan went with them to search and rescue straightforward. Certainly,Witch Yan agreed, but we didn’t participate in it. Because that’s not about Xue’er, my mother didn’t want me to take adventure.

The search and rescue team set off quickly. The rest of us stayed in the main room waiting for news. Even Xue’er was sleeping in Mom’s arms. The reason was very simple. Shortly after the search and rescue team left, Aunt Li said that something might happen tonight so it’s better for everyone to get together.

There was a television in the hall. After Xue’er had fallen asleep for a while, she was awakened by the endless barking of dogs in the village. She couldn’t fall asleep again and started to watch cartoons. My mother and phoenix accompanied Xue’er on each side of her. Me and Aunt Li were sitting near the door.

When the dog started to bark, I didn’t pay any attention. There were so many policemen in the village. They were strangers to dogs, so it’s quite normal for dogs barking. But I was a bit worried while dogs from every house started barking. As I know, dogs and cats were able to see what people couldn’t see.

In order to prevent misunderstandings, I also opened the door and looked at the police. There were very few police left and they were all on the opening ground. It was impossible to cause all dogs in the village barking.

I locked the door and asked Aunt Li what’s going to happen in this evening, but Aunt Li said she didn’t know it. Just be careful, not to went out and stayed with her in the hall.

I certainly would not disobey Aunt Li’s request and I was not qualified to disobey. However, I still couldn’t suppress my curiosity. I went to the window of the hall and teared a small hole on newspaper which was padded on the window. I was watching outside and waiting.

After the dog barked for a while, dogs from the direction of the entrance of village stopped barking, they did not dare to bark anymore, instead, they started to groan. I understood, It’s close. I told Aunt Li about it, but Aunt Li just nodded and said she knew that.

I went on watching outside. A dog near the opening space was groaning and running back to his kennel, then the police in the open space found something wrong. They began to alert one by one, and I saw with my eyes that a fog was drifting slowly from the direction of the village entrance. The building that used to be seen very far away had disappeared into the fog regardless of the temporary lighting equipment.
