This is not a weird story

This scene startled Wei An.

Based on what happened to the first slave, he originally thought that the next person would also fish out the bucket of water and check if there was anything in it.

If something was fished out from the well, it might be the "lucky one" mentioned in the ghost story prompt. He also thought about trying to fish something up when it was his turn.

Looking at it now, it turns out that the first slave left easily because of this reason.

The things fished out from the well may be good or bad, because these people are afraid of fishing out bad things, and would rather fish out nothing at all, so that person just left so easily.

After the unfortunate slave's head was dragged into the bucket, no one dared to step forward to help him, and at an extremely fast speed. His body and head separated quickly, a large amount of blood spurted out from the broken neck, and his body fell to the ground. Next to the bucket, he was still twitching like a conditioned reflex.

The head was still in the bucket, but Wei An could not see anything from his perspective, nor could he see the hand that had just been stretched out from the bucket.

Not long after, a man wearing a loose black robe was seen approaching the body. He first grabbed the bucket and threw it into the well again without looking at it. Then in silence, he picked up the fallen body and threw it into the well. Dragged into the depths of darkness.

The man in black robes was tall, at least about 2.5 meters tall, so when he grabbed the body and dragged it away, it was as easy as grabbing a toy. When he appeared, the people lining up next to the well gave way immediately, obviously they were all afraid. he.

Wei An guessed that this person might be the bloody guardian of the village mentioned in the ghost story prompt.

So far, until the slave's head was missing and his body was dragged away by the guardian, he didn't make much noise. It was like watching a silent movie, a bloody silent movie.

Now Wei An temporarily understood the meaning of the "lucky one" in this strange story.

There may be three endings to the bucket being fished out of the well. One is to fish out the ghost-like thing just now, which is fatal to the salvager. The other is that there is nothing in the bucket except water. In this way The salvager was in no danger.

The third ending may be that good items will be salvaged. This is Wei An's guess, because there are so many people lining up to salvage here, there can be no reason.

So the Bloody Guardians must have wanted to salvage something they wanted from the well, but they didn't dare to do it themselves, so they captured a large number of slaves to do it.

Based on this speculation, the plot clues of this strange story are probably already clear.

Wei An quickly turned around and looked at the people lining up around him again, wanting to see if the two experts were still in the queue.

If these two people encountered the horrific situation just now when they were participating in the salvage here as slaves, they might all be dead, and there would be no point in trying to rescue them.

At the same time, he still didn't see Jin Mingfei and Chen Yao.

Next, the people in front continued to go forward to salvage, one by one, and they were all frightened when they were salvaging. When they saw that there was only clear water in the bucket they fished out, and nothing else, they were all greatly relieved. Take a breath.

At this time, Wei An noticed that there was a greater chance that the buckets brought up contained only clear water. There were five people in line in front of him, and four of them filled up with clear water.

Only the old-looking slave in front of him saw that the bucket was shaking violently during the process of fishing it out, and there was more than just clean water in it.

When he tremblingly leaned over the bucket to take a look, Wei An thought another hand would come out of it, but nothing happened.

The old man just stared at the bucket with fear on his face for a while. The tall bloody guardian soon appeared from the darkness and stood beside the old man without saying a word.

The old man seemed to know what he should do. He just hesitated without taking action.

And if he still doesn't move, the bloody guardian will immediately take action and kill him on the spot.

The old man turned to look at Wei An, who was next in line. Wei An didn't know why he was looking at him. Because the person in front of him hadn't finished yet, he couldn't get close and couldn't see what was in the bucket.

The old man withdrew his gaze. Before the Bloody Guardian was about to take action, he stretched out his hands tremblingly, reached into the bucket, and quickly took something out.

Wei An took a closer look and found that it seemed to be a meat ball with bumps on the surface, as big as a football, and water was dripping from it.

The strange thing is that this meat ball is alive, and there is something inside that is constantly pressing against the surface of the meat ball, sometimes bulging and sometimes sinking.

Just holding this meat ball, the old man was sent away by a bloody guardian and disappeared into the darkness.

Now it was Wei An's turn to step forward.

After another guardian threw the bucket back into the well, Wei An immediately walked to the wellhead, grabbed the handle above, and started shaking it.

The bucket was indeed big enough, and it was very heavy after being filled with water. It took some effort for Wei An to shake the handle, and then he felt the bucket being lifted up bit by bit in the well.

At the same time, he could also feel a sharp gaze scanning behind him. This should be the guardian standing in the darkness watching him.

Not only that, the eyes of other slaves nearby were also focused on him, and each of them was more nervous than him.

With a splash, you could hear the sound of water swaying, and the bucket quickly came to the wellhead.

After fixing the rope, Wei An lifted the bucket down. In fact, he knew that there was nothing in the bucket except clean water without even looking.

I put it down and took a look. Sure enough, there was only water inside.

The guardian also saw this scene and said nothing. He just asked Wei An to throw the bucket into the well again and then continued walking forward.

Wei An did not look back. After putting the bucket back, he immediately walked forward. He quickly left this small square with uneven ground.

A wall appeared in front of him. Looking up, he found that even in the dark, the wall was so high that the top could not be seen at all.

At the same time, Wei An also noticed that there was no moon in this strange story at night!

This was the first time he noticed that there was no moon or moonlight at night.

This alone proves that this ghost story is different from other ghost stories.

Wei An didn't know where he was going, but there was no guardian following him, and there was a wall in front of him, so he couldn't pass. He could only keep walking along the wall.

Soon it felt like he had taken a big turn, and a large number of wooden cages appeared in front of him. These wooden cages were tall and large. The wooden sticks that made up the cages alone were as thick as half of his body. When combined together, they looked indestructible.

There were many slaves in the cages, sitting or standing, and beside these cages stood several guardians.

After one of the guardians saw Wei An, he stretched out his hand and Wei An looked in the direction of his finger and saw an open cage not far away.

He immediately got in obediently and sat there without any strangeness.

There were already other people in the cage, and one of them was the old man who was just in front of him. In front of this old man, there was the strange meat ball taken out of the bucket.

The old man glanced at Wei An, seeming to recognize him, and then turned his attention to the meat ball.

He had been shivering uneasily.

The other people sitting in the cage subconsciously kept a certain distance from the old man and did not dare to get close.
