On November 6, 2001, the client received the second postcard. Attached: a postcard.
The back of the postcard is still blank, with two postmarks. The postmark of the sending post office is blurred, but the postmark of the receiving post office is very clear.
The front of the postcard is no longer a deep and light green, but has a little more color.
The background is a forest without sunlight, with people hanging on a few branches of the forest.
Many, many people.
Most are ghosts, with only an outline. But there are three people with clear appearances.
The three people seemed to be accurately drawn using sketching techniques. Although the whole body is not big, people can clearly see their facial features. Two men and one woman, one of whom is middle-aged and the other is a young man. All three of them were expressionless, staring ahead. In terms of the details of their facial features, the three people have some similarities. At a cursory glance, you will come to the conclusion that the three of them are a family.

"Hello, Mr. Shen."
"That's it..."
Rustling…
"Didn't you see the person who delivered the postcard this time?"
"No...have you seen it? They are exactly the same as the three people in our family! Our family also has these three sets of clothes! That person... This is a threatening letter! This is a threatening letter!"
"Please calm down first, Mr. Shen."
"How can I be so calm! I didn't even dare to show this to my parents. If I did, I would give them a heart attack! That Xiao Ying... what on earth is he doing! What is he doing! Our family has never thought about asking for money. Ah! Suddenly giving money, and suddenly like this! Damn... "
"Mr. Shen, I want to confirm that your current emotions are your own emotions, or have you been affected by something?"
"What?"
"This thing is nothing to us, but it may contain something that affects the minds of ordinary people. Mr. Shen, please take a deep breath and tell me now that your fear and irritability are due to fear of this implicit threat. , or is it groundless fear? You should understand that normally, this kind of threat will not work. At least, he cannot easily take your family of three to such a forest and hang them."
"There are no woods that fit this picture."
"Yes. There are no woods that fit this picture in Minqing. There is no way to tell the species of these trees from the pictures. However, with this level of denseness and the fact that the woods are full of dead people, looking around the world, there is no way to find the same ones. of woods.”
"… Really?"
"Of course. There are only two forests that we can confirm are related to death. One is the famous suicide forest, but the number of people who actually committed suicide in it is only about twenty. Five of them committed suicide together, and they also committed suicide. The origin of various legends in the forest, and after publicity in newspapers and media, more than ten people later chose to end their lives there. The method they used was not hanging, but more of them committed suicide by taking medicine. There were also many who committed suicide by burning coal in the camping hut."
"oh… "
"The other place is called the Death Forest, which is a tropical jungle. People died there mainly because of the tropical jungle environment, poisonous insects, poisonous snakes, and harsh climate... After a certain amount of exploration, there are also the favorable conditions of increasing wild adventure tools. As a result, it can no longer be called a forest of death. In the past few years, the remains of adventurers from the past will continue to be discovered, and the number of new deaths will be much less."
"I think I've heard of this."
"The forest is dangerous, but it's not that mysterious. You don't have to worry."
"But this... is still a threat, right?"
"Yes. It's just a simple threat, there's nothing to be afraid of. By the way, has your family ever been to a wild environment like a woods or forest?"
"No. Our family doesn't like to travel. We don't have money or time... We also go to tourist attractions with group tours. There are more cultural tourist attractions."
"Okay. Can you answer the question I just asked now? What was the reason for your previous fear?"
"Ah... um... I think the main thing is that I was frightened. Well... it's the first time I encountered something like this. I'm angry, and a little bit scared. Mainly just angry. This matter really has nothing to do with my family. Money is Xiao Ying gave it to him on his own initiative, and we did not get it through improper means. My family never wrote back to Xiao Ying. When we received the money, we also thought of many ways to contact Xiao Ying."
"Um."
"Then now..."
"If you agree, we would like to install a camera near your mailbox. In addition, we would also like to conduct an inspection at your home."
"Okay, that's no problem. Just do it today."
On November 6, 2001, the client's residence was inspected and a camera was installed.

"...My mother thought for a while and then remembered that Xiao Ying was the Xiao Ying..."
"There's nothing wrong with Ye Kai."
"These kind of memories can't be counted, right? They're all hearsay, and it's been a long time, so the contact is far away."
"It's not very credible. Some of the statements on both sides are the same..."
"They are brothers and sisters. What they heard was also heard from their common parents. This cannot be counted as evidence. The main reason is that there are too few people who know Xiao Ying and have contact with Xiao Ying."
"Where's the name Xiao Ying?"
"Tens of thousands were found, and there are more than 400 registered residents in Minqing. After another screening of the age range, no one matched. This name may not be an official name. This is the same as what Shen Yifan said."
"Where's the postcard?"
"It hasn't been sorted out yet. Some countries are very slow to respond. Phew..."
"Ye Kai's postcard is also correct?"
"Well, it's the same. It's sent from one place every year..."
On November 8, 2001, the client received the third postcard. Attached: a postcard.
The back of the postcard is the same as the first two.
From the front, the forest is magnified, like a camera zooming in.
The client's family of three hung on a tree branch revealed three heads. This time they were no longer expressionless, but showed two rows of teeth and made an exaggerated smile.
Their mouths were grinning, but there was no smile in their eyes. Instead, they showed fear.
Those three mouths seemed to be forced by something to make such expressions.
Blood seeped out from the corners of their mouths, dripped down to their chins, and left winding traces of blood on their necks.
On November 14, 2001, Xiao Ying’s entry and exit route map was compiled. Attached: A route map.
