The boss didn't seem used to people looking at him, so he finally couldn't help but said: "Well, brother, you go and sit down first, it will be fine in a while."

I nodded, took out my mobile phone and said, "There are still 5 minutes at 12 o'clock, boss, can you close the stall in time?"

The boss's face became very ugly, and I continued: "I don't know if the boss has noticed that I am not an ordinary person."

The boss looked at me with some doubts, I waved my hand lightly, a black glow visible to the naked eye flashed by, and the street lamp in the distance was directly cut into two ends by my black glow, and fell on the ground, making a loud noise .

I looked at the boss with a dull expression and said, "Boss, I don't think there will be any police coming out."

The boss nodded subconsciously, then stepped back again and again, bumping into the wall behind him.

I went back to my seat and said, "Boss, the oysters are almost mushy."

The boss woke up like a dream. After putting the oysters on the plate, he dared not bring them over.

I sighed and said, "Boss, I just want to know the situation of the fog. If I can solve it, I think it will be a good thing for you. If it can't be solved, there should be no loss for you."

The boss was still hesitating, and I continued: "Is there something threatening you? You can rest assured. Although I don't know the situation of the fog, there is no problem protecting you. You don't want your children and grandchildren to be threatened like this." Bar."

The boss's face changed several times, and finally he waved at me.

I walked over and helped the boss clean up the night market stalls, and under the leadership of the boss, I entered the store not far away.

I can see that this is the place where the boss piled up the night market stalls. It is not big, but because it is too late to close the stalls, it looks a bit empty.

The boss pulled out two stools and handed me a cigarette before he said, "Is it 12 o'clock?"

I glanced at the time and nodded: "It's exactly 12 o'clock."

"Really. I remember it was ten years ago, it was exactly 12 o'clock..."

Before the tourism boom in the ancient town came, people lived a dull and even monotonous life like many other places.

Until one day ten years ago, a group of so-called tourism investors came to the ancient town. Under the leadership of a group of leaders, they traveled to every corner of the ancient town.

In the end, it was natural to decide to invest in development, which was a sensation at the time, and things that can be associated with investment and development always make people feel tall.

This was indeed the case. On that day, there was a lot of gongs and drums, and many leaders who could only be seen on TV also appeared in front of the townspeople.

Everyone fantasizes that their wonderful life is coming.

The first thing to do in the ancient town is to build roads. While building roads, the investor asked to restore an ancient temple that had been abandoned for many years. In order to achieve the most perfect effect, at the request of the designer, the wells of the ancient temple were relocated.

At that time, no one thought there was anything wrong, because the ancient well had dried up many years ago. When the sun is strong, the dry and cracked loess in the well can be seen from the wellhead.

The only thing that makes people feel pity is the antique pattern of the wellhead. Investors at the time also felt that this was a display of culture and demanded a complete preservation, as long as the ancient well was moved.

But no one thought that when the wellhead was cut open with a machine, the entire wellhead collapsed like sand grains and turned into fine sand grains. And in the dry ancient well, there was a deafening sound of water flowing.

Then there was a jet of water that soared into the sky. It was so powerful that it rushed the upper body of the unprepared worker directly into the sky.

The water column that rushed into the sky did not fall, but turned into mist and dissipated in the sky. After an unknown period of time, the water column finally stopped, and the water mist disappeared completely.

When such a thing happened, the investor immediately invited the most famous Taoist priests and witches from all over the world. But it was of no use. When it was 12 o'clock in the evening, the thick fog began to cover the entire ancient town.

The people who appeared in the mist disappeared one by one, and there has been no news since then.

Many people say that this is the relocation of the ancient well and the release of the suppressed demons in the ancient well. But during the day, some people also went to see it, and the inside of the ancient well was still a piece of dry loess.

There were still people going down at that time, but those who went down also disappeared without a trace, just like the people in the mist.

Not only that, the townspeople found that they had no way to leave the ancient town, as long as they left the ancient town for more than three months, they would die inexplicably.

The investor left immediately, and the villagers reluctantly accepted this fact.

Gradually, the villagers also discovered that as long as they don't walk in the fog, it doesn't have any impact on their lives. Not even 100% disappearing in the mist.

As long as you can find your way home in time, you can escape unharmed.

Gradually, the villagers are no longer so afraid of the fog, because fear has no effect.

When the boss said this, he sighed deeply: "Perhaps this is the punishment from the heavens."

"Then why don't you tell the tourists?"

"Tell you?" The boss smiled bitterly: "We also tried to persuade, but it's okay if we don't talk about it. After talking about it, we all went to explore in the fog one by one."

I nodded, I understood what the boss meant, people are curious, and no matter how you look at it, the fog will only make people get lost.

After thinking about it, I asked, "What about the things in the mist?"

"I've only heard that there are monsters in the mist, but no one has ever seen them. Many people who say they have seen monsters say different monsters."

After a pause, the boss added: "One thing is still the same, that is, when many people walk together, they will have hallucinations and see their companions as zombies covered in green hair."

My heart moved: "Zombie?"

The boss nodded: "Zombies, just like the ones on TV, bounce around and have long teeth. They are covered with green hair. But this is all an illusion."

"Hallucinations." I repeated, thinking that the zombies in the photo might have something to do with this, after all, hallucinations don't always appear out of thin air. For example, it is almost impossible for you to hallucinate and see something that has never appeared before.

After asking about Gujing's location, I didn't refuse the boss's offer, and slept with him in the store for one night.

It was not until dawn that I said goodbye to the boss and walked towards the ancient well in the story.

The ancient temple is not far away. Obviously, when the ancient well was moved, the ancient temple was also repaired, but the repair was not completed because of an accident in the ancient well.

Half of the ancient temple looks a little delicate with a strong ancient charm, but the other half is completely broken, and there is nothing to see at all.

After admiring a few glances, I walked towards the location of the ancient well.
