This is not a weird story

Wei An didn't sleep again in the second half of the night after the curfew. After Zheng Yu went upstairs, he listened behind the door for a long time.

It wasn't until the wolf howled that he waited for a while before opening the door. When he lowered his head and looked down, he found several things wrapped in a special kind of paper on the ground at the door.

He brought it into the house and put it on the table. Jin Mingfei and Liu Wenna had already gotten up. They were very tired these days, and the noise outside during the curfew did not wake them up.

At this moment, he saw Wei An opening the food and walked over curiously.

The paper wrapping the food is a bit like oil paper, but much softer than oil paper. When you spread it out, you can see that there is a large piece of meat inside.

Nothing else.

Wei An opened all the other packages of oil paper and found that all the packages inside were meat, and the meat was of the same shape and size.

After counting, I found that there were four large pieces in total.

Jin Mingfei was stunned for a moment, and Wei An speculated: "Does the person who brought the food know that there are four people in the room?"

"Yes." Zheng Yu's voice sounded at the door of the back room, "I don't know why, but they do know how many people are in which room, and they will send the corresponding amount of food."

"What kind of meat are these?" Wei An asked as he picked up a piece of meat.

He felt that the meat didn't look like pork, nor beef or mutton. It felt heavy in his hand, much heavier than pork of the same size.

"It should be a kind of animal meat." Zheng Yu said: "Maybe it belongs to the special beast in this ghost story. After eating this meat, you will feel full and have more juice. You don't need to drink water at all after eating it."

After a pause, Zheng Yu continued: "And there seems to be no drinking water here. The aborigines also eat this kind of meat every day instead of drinking water. This piece of meat is enough for an adult to eat for three days."

Wei An said: "I feel more and more that we are like livestock kept here. We live, go out and are fed at regular times every day. We cannot leave this area or cross the sea."

"We have all noticed it. So the investigators are doing the opposite and are trying to get closer to the Black Mountain. Even if they live, they must live closer to facilitate observation and inquiry." Zheng Yu said.

"Does the other investigator Nie Jun usually come back here?" Wei An asked.

Zheng Yu nodded, "He will come back, and only if he comes back and brings me the information there, I can't go there."

"Why can't you pass?" Wei An frowned.

Zheng Yu said: "You have also seen that the outer streets of the ancient tile city are set up according to the ten-day stem pattern. We are currently on Geng Street. They are arranged in the order of A, B, C, D, Wu, Ji, Geng, Xing, Rengui. We are in the downstream street. And the abandoned house you went to last time is on Ji Street, which is already a middle street. The further you go into each street, the more strange and unexplained phenomena will appear."

As he spoke, he took out a small knife, cut off a piece of the animal meat that belonged to him, put it in his mouth and chewed it.

This animal meat has been dried, no blood or water flows out, and can be eaten directly.

"Not only does the street get weirder as you go deeper, but when you enter a Class C street, you will experience many uncomfortable symptoms, such as dizziness, nausea and vomiting, heart palpitations, and stuffiness..."

"Why is this happening?" Wei An asked.

Zheng Yu shook his head, "I don't know, as long as I leave the C-class street, I will recover immediately. When I went to C-class street, my symptoms were not too serious, but I vomited out all the animal meat I ate, and then I felt dizzy all the time. You’ll have to sit down or lie down soon.”

"Nie Jun is okay?" Wei An was curious.

"Yes." Zheng Yu said: "He has a stronger foundation than me, is stronger than me, and did not show any symptoms. However, he also tried to enter B Street, and he also had the same symptoms as when I entered C Street, so he I’m temporarily living on C Street.”

"You said that there are some of the earliest participants who entered here. They have now surpassed Jia Street and lived in the inner streets. Isn't that their strength..." Wei An said in surprise.

"Yes! But those participants also lived in the inner streets step by step, that is, they temporarily lived in a street that did not cause discomfort to them. After overcoming it, they looked for opportunities to live in the next street. In this way, they entered the inner streets. street."

"Are the inner streets named after the twelve earthly branches?" Wei An asked.

"The streets are not, but the inside is named after the twelve earthly branches according to the area." Zheng Yu explained, "For example, a certain area is a sub-district, and a certain area is an ugly area. The area inside is also very large, and there should be something similar to the streets outside. That kind of division of strength."

Wei An speculated: "Could it be that personal strength is divided according to spiritual power? In other words, whoever has a high spiritual coefficient can be close to the inner streets, or even live directly in the inner streets."

Zheng Yu nodded: "We also guessed this way at first, because Nie Jun's mental coefficient is originally higher than mine. But there is also an investigator older than me living on Wu Street, which is a street away from us. He is from Austria. According to the Sri Lanka Ghost Story Bureau, this guy’s mental coefficient is 4.1, which is a very powerful existence. But he still cannot enter Bing Street to live. He will faint as soon as he enters, and then he will be carried out by several participants who followed him. "

Wei An touched his chin, "So there are other reference factors."

"It may be a kind of ability determination that we don't know, but people with higher mental coefficients are definitely more likely to enter the inner streets than those with low mental coefficients." Zheng Yu said.

At present, if you want to leave this strange story, you may have to cross the purple and smelly ocean, but if you just take a boat there, you will easily die at the bottom of the sea.

Therefore, the survival investigators thought of the black building on the black mountain and prepared to search there to see if they could use this building to find a way to leave here or cross the purple ocean.

A major factor that troubles everyone is that the rules of strange stories adopt a mechanism to determine the ability of participants. If they are qualified, they can live in the street on the inner level. If they are not qualified, the person will instinctively have many uncomfortable reactions. , to warn that it has crossed the line.

According to what Wei An just said, this so-called Guwa City is indeed like a place for feeding livestock. These people are kept in captivity, come out to let out at regular intervals, and are fed regularly.

I just don’t know why the people behind the scenes in the city would do this. No one knows whether this is the rules set by the people behind the scenes, or the ghost stories themselves, or whether even the “it” in the Black Mountain building is just a product of the rules of the ghost stories. .

From this point of view, it is no longer unusual for this ghost story to be rated B. Even this B-level ghost story has a faint tendency to touch the A-level. Compared with the only B-level ghost story "Three Rumors" that Wei An has come into contact with Much stronger.

But having said that, the probability of leaving here is very small, at least no one has been able to succeed so far.

This also leads to the fact that the human world does not know the existence of this strange story in Guwa City.

"Can I try another street at any time?" Wei An asked.

It was obvious that he was already a little eager to give it a try.

This is an opportunity to prove his ability, and it also represents whether he has the strength to come into contact with the essence of this strange story.

If Wei An fails, then like other investigators, he will stay here for a long time, unable to leave, or even die suddenly if he is not careful.

"As long as it's not curfew time and you stick to the rules I told you when you go out, anyone can try it," Zheng Yu said.
