In the following time, Pan Xiaoyun was the main narrator, and the other three acted as supplements, recalling their experiences in the past few days in detail.
On the first day, on the night of May 31, when the teachers and students found the long-abandoned Xuanmen Village, they didn't feel scared at all, they just regarded it as a novel and interesting episode on the way of collecting folk songs.
Although it is an empty and deserted village with no water and electricity, and even the Internet has intermittent poor signal, a group of students still had a good time.
They dragged Song Qi, a counselor who was no older than a few years old, to play with the pen fairy and the money fairy, and some people insisted on trying to see if the folklore such as knocking bowls at the intersection was really a ghost.
However, the four of them said with certainty that everyone did a lot of deaths that night, and some people deliberately frightened their classmates, but in retrospect, whether it was during the game or during the night, it didn't seem to happen. What can really be called a "weird" thing.
Hearing this, Beiquan nodded, and there was a glimmer of light in his eyes.
It wasn't until nearly one o'clock in the morning that the students finally felt tired.
"At that time, Lao Song and I... Er, Mr. Song sent Lingling and the other three girls back to the small courtyard next door, stared at their windows and put out the candles, and even closed the courtyard door for them, and then came back to sleep with us."
Pan Xiaoyun glanced at Liu Lingling and Huang Lan, and continued:
"I'm pretty sure everyone went back to their rooms to rest."
Pan Xiaoyun was very tired that night, and fell asleep almost as soon as he lay down, unconscious.
When Pan Xiaoyun talked about this, Beiquan also confirmed with the other three students. The three of them all said that they slept well, and they didn't notice anything unusual that night.
As a result, they fell asleep when they were woken up by the villagers the next day.
"and many more."
Having said that, Beiquan raised his hand to interrupt the students' narrative:
"When you were woken up by the villagers, did you pay attention to the classmates around you?"
Pan Xiaoyun and the others looked at each other in dismay, as if it was difficult to understand what Beiquan meant for a while.
Beiquan patiently added:
"I mean, including yourselves, and the three who are now gone, were they all in the room at the time?"
The two girls looked at each other.
"Well, Lingling and I should be here."
Huang Lan raised her hand and gestured, "I did see Julie when I was dragged out by those people."
she said with certainty.
Beiquan turned his attention to the two boys again.
Pan Xiaoyun was a little confused.
He is warm-hearted and has a good heart, but he has a very obvious weakness in his personality, that is, he is easily panicked when things happen.
When he woke up, he realized that he was no longer in the abandoned village. He was crowded with unfamiliar villagers in front of him, and when he insisted on dragging him out, he was completely frightened. Trapped to the river.
Thinking back carefully now, in Pan Xiaoyun's memory, there were indeed other students beside him, and he heard their voices shouting, but if he insisted on saying that he was ugly, it would be too difficult for him.
On the contrary, Rosen, who seemed to be taciturn, took the place of their unreliable squad leader and answered Beiquan's question:
"There should be all four of them, and I saw everyone."
Beiquan nodded and motioned everyone to continue.
Pan Xiaoyun said that on the first day, he was completely frightened and he didn't even dare to escape, so he just stood on the shore and watched a so-called "ceremony" with his legs trembling.
And the sacrificial process he described was no different from what Beiquan saw by borrowing the sympathy of Julie's soul.
First, a group of strong boys came up, carried hundreds of paper figures and horses to the river, and threw them all into the river, and then poured a lot of smelly blood. His own blood dripped into the river.
However, unlike Julie, who was scared and fled halfway, Pan Xiaoyun insisted on seeing the end on the first day.
It turned out that after the blood dripped into the river, there was another step, that is, everyone shouted in unison:
"Send the evil spirits! Dispel grievances! Ten thousand calamities will go with the water, the weather will be smooth, and the disaster will not invade!"
After shouting, ignite a large pod of hay with a strange smell, pour all the burned powder into the river, and the whole sacrifice is completed.
"Well, what about after that?"
Beiquan continued to ask.
"After the ceremony, the villagers left in a hurry, and no one cares about us."
Pan Xiaoyun replied:
"We have nowhere to go, we have to come back first..."
He pointed to the room where they were now.
"Then, we found out that Chaoyang and Julie were gone."
Beiquan knew that he was talking about a boy named Dong Chaoyang and Julie, a girl he had shared with him.
The latter Beiquan was quite sure that the girl was indeed dead.
And the other, or more precisely, all the people who have disappeared now, according to Julie's situation, most of them are more fortunate.
Beiquan thought about it and asked:
"Did you lose two people on the first day?"
"That's right."
Pan Xiaoyun nodded vigorously:
"I was the first to find out that Chaoyang was gone. We were roommates at school, so we had a better relationship."
He turned to look at Liu Lingling and Huang Lan again:
"As for the girls, it was Teacher Song who went to confirm that Julie also disappeared."
The two girls also quickly agreed, saying that was the case.
Originally, it was strange enough that a deserted village turned into an inhabited village overnight, not to mention that there were two people missing in one breath. At that time, everyone was frightened, and the less timid almost didn't have a direct mental breakdown.
Someone proposed to leave the village immediately, but Pan Xiaoyun remembered that he was the monitor, and insisted on finding the two missing classmates first.
So the remaining six people were divided into two groups. Counselor Song Qi took Liu Lingling and Huang Lan to the village entrance to drive, while the three boys searched for the missing classmates in the village.
They agreed that whether they could find someone or not, they would meet at the head of the village in an hour and leave this place of right and wrong together.
However, when they met again, whether it was looking for a person or a car, they all came back in vain.
Everyone soon discovered that they were trapped in this strange mountain village and could not leave at all.
"We even tried walking outside..."
Pan Xiaoyun said in frustration:
"But it's no use, no matter how we walk, we're just going around this village! Even if we go on and on for hours, we'll definitely come back here in the end!"
On the first day in the fragmented space, everyone found that they were trapped in the village.
The anxious teachers and students struggled to find a way to leave until it was completely dark, so they had to return to the village and re-lived in this small courtyard under the arrangement of the enthusiastic villagers.
It's just that there are two less people, and none of them have the courage to separate. Regardless of men and women, everyone is crowded into one room, and no one dares to sleep.
As a result, it was just midnight, and the few people who had thought they were going to stay all night seemed to have been hit by an ecstasy and lost consciousness.
When they opened their eyes again, what they saw and heard was exactly the same as the previous day - the only difference was that the missing Dong Chaoyang and Julie did not reappear.
"and many more."
Beiquan once again stopped Pan Xiaoyun's narration.
"Are you sure it's twelve midnight?"
"Um."
Pan Xiaoyun lit the watch in his hand.
"When we came here, only our belongings could be kept. Others, including mobile phones and luggage, were all lost... I happen to have the habit of not taking off my watch while sleeping, so I am the only one with a watch."
He explained:
"I'm too scared to sleep these days. I can't help but look at my watch every ten to twenty minutes."
Beiquan understood.
Presumably, after this kid found the pattern, he kept staring at twelve o'clock before he was able to find the exact loop point of this fragmented space.
On the second and third days after that, they were still the same as the first day. They were woken up by the villagers every day, and then dragged to watch a festival they had already seen.
And, every day, without anyone else noticing, someone disappears without a trace.
"What's lost the next day is innocence."
Pan Xiaoyun refers to a boy named "Cai Tianzhen", because his name is homophonic, so he is usually nicknamed "Nianzhen".
Beiquan remembered everyone's information very clearly. He knew that this innocent classmate was Rosen's roommate and also the boyfriend of Julie, a girl he had shared feelings for.
Having said that, Pan Xiaoyun felt a little guilty.
"We originally agreed that no matter where we go, at least two people will act together. That day, I was a team with innocent..."
His fingers pinched his arm unconsciously:
"I just went to the toilet and let Tianzhen wait for me outside the door... But when I came out, he and others were gone... "
Beiquan thought, in fact, I really can't blame you for this. If something really happened, one of you would count as one, and no one would be able to run away.
"On the third day, it was Lao Song's turn to disappear... He just went out with Rosen to get some water, and he never came back!"
When Pan Xiaoyun recalled this passage, he still had lingering fears, and he forgot to use the honorific title for the teacher:
"Although Lao Song usually jokes with us, people are actually very reliable... Once he, he disappeared, we don't know what to do!"
He scratched his bird's nest head hard.
"We were so frightened that we wanted to get out of here, but it didn't work! We couldn't get out! This village looks so big, but no matter which direction we run, we will definitely come back here..."
Pan Xiaoyun nervously used his fingernails to pick out one mark on his arm, and unconsciously said almost exactly the same words he had said on the hotline:
"If it goes on like this, it will be my turn soon, right?"
"Every one of us here can't escape, right?"
Beiquan turned his eyes.
"But there are four of you left?"
He smiled:
"So, no one of you went missing yesterday?"
