The Republic of China Conspiracy Records

Chapter 51 Partridge (5)

I was a little creepy, thinking about what Gu Yue said to me last night, he said that there was a new guest, that ghost would not come.How does he know that the ghost won't show up when newcomers come?Thinking about it like this makes my legs a little weak, but both Gu Yue and Lao Yao have told me that I am lucky, because there is a ghost in the cell, and that ghost can take me out of here.

So in their cognition, the ghost can take people away, and the person who disappeared was taken away by the ghost?But if this is the case, it should be a good thing. The winner should enjoy such treatment. Why would the loser be taken away?Besides, they are still compensating the loser.

Thinking about it this way, I really became more and more confused, so I told Qin Jian this idea.Qin Jian said: "They told you, can that ghost take people out of here?"

I nodded.Qin Jian said again: "There is a price to be paid for dealing with ghosts. Maybe the people who were taken away are the price they paid. If this is the case, then I should stop them - I promised Gu Yin that I would not let these people Something happened to someone."

It seems that Gu Yin needs them to imprison these people, so he doesn't want people to hurt them.This can also explain why this prison is so strange, but I don't know what he wants to use these people for.

What Qin Jian said was not unreasonable, maybe Gu Yue and the others made a deal with that ghost so that it would take him out of prison.But making a deal with a ghost is tantamount to seeking skin with a tiger.I comforted myself, so I helped Qin Jian find out the truth of this matter, and I was helping Gu Yue and the others.

"There will be guards outside the cell every night. If you find something, yell loudly, and someone will rush in." Qin Jian lowered her head as she spoke, as if she was not going to say anything else.

Naturally, I had nothing to say, so I just glanced at him and left the room by myself.After arriving at the open space, Gu Yue and the others had finished washing the dishes and came back here, killing time by themselves.I also found an open space to sit and think about something.I thought that after sending the letter here, I would know who the mysterious woman was looking for Ye Er, but judging from the current situation, this letter was written by Gu Yin to Qin Jian.

But why did Gu Yin's letter fall into her hands? What is the purpose of her asking me to deliver the letter?
After thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't understand it, but the time passed quickly.At dusk, we went to the dining hall to eat again, and then we were driven by the guards and entered the cell one by one.Someone stood guard at the cell door, naming the locations one by one, making sure everyone got in.

In this case, if someone really disappeared from the cell, maybe it can only be explained by being taken away by ghosts.

I purposely followed Lao Yao. If nothing goes wrong, he will be the one who was taken away by the ghost tonight.I observed his expression, but found that his expression was calm, with neither fear nor unwillingness on his face.Can a person really be so peaceful in the face of such unknown fears?I thought to myself, and walked in after him.

"What did Qin Jian tell you?" As soon as I walked in, I heard someone talking to me behind me.I turned around and saw that it was Gu Yue.

"He wants to know where my letter came from." I turned my head and waited for him for a while, "Not only you have been waiting for Guyin for ten years, but he has also been waiting for ten years."

"Then where did your letter come from?" Gu Yue looked at me deeply. For some reason, I always felt that there was something special in his eyes.

I told him that I didn't know, that the letter was forwarded to me by someone else, and he just said "Oh" and didn't say anything else.Just for a while, when I turned around again, Lao Yao had already disappeared, probably walking into his own cell.The crowd was crowded, and I didn't know which cell he was in for a while.

The layout of the prison is a row of cells facing each other, and there are about seven or eight cells in a row.Except for my cell where there were only two people, there were three or four prisoners living in each cell. After the guards rolled their names at the entrance, they were allowed to walk into their respective rooms by themselves, and came back to lock the door at the end.Gu Yue and I were in the last room on the side near the entrance, so we couldn't see the situation on the same side clearly after returning to the room.

I asked Gu Yue, "Which room is Lao Yao?"

Gu Yue looked at me strangely for a while, just when I was a little suspicious that he knew the conversation between Qin Jian and me, he suddenly pointed to the middle room in the opposite row and said, "That room. Did you see it?"

I followed his finger to see that the cells were separated by masonry, and only the side near the aisle was a wooden fence, so I could only see the part of the cell near the fence.But Lao Yao and the others were not at the fence, and they probably all lay on the inner bed.

In this case, even if what really happened in Lao Yao's cell at night, I couldn't see it.I sighed in my heart, and said that I am afraid I can't help Qin Jian, but I don't know if he will tell me Gu Yin's whereabouts ten years ago.Just as he was thinking about it, the guard came to inspect it again, then went out and closed the entrance door, leaving only a few torches in the cell for lighting.

Probably everyone was lying on the bed, so the cell was quiet except for the crackling of the torches from time to time. I stood by the fence and watched for a while, but there was nothing, so I went back to the bed. Unexpectedly, when I turned around, I saw Gu Yue was looking straight at me.

I was startled, unconsciously a little guilty, hurried back to my bed, Gu Yue suddenly smiled strangely, and then lay down on the bed with her back to me.I didn't know what he was laughing at, and I didn't dare to turn over and over to get his attention, so I just kept lying on the bed in one position, until my whole body became stiff.

The time was burnt out bit by bit by the torches on the wall. I don’t know how long it had passed. I thought it was almost midnight, when suddenly there was a slight sound of footsteps in the quiet cell.I was so shocked that I almost jumped out of the bed, rushed to the fence in one quick step, and looked outside.

With just one glance, a chill rushed straight to the top of the sky, almost knocking me to the ground.In the cell on the opposite side, a figure dressed in white slowly walked through a cell, and then passed through the wall to the next room.I saw that white figure passing through the wall with my own eyes, and suddenly my whole body was filled with ghosts. I wanted to shout out loudly, but when I opened my mouth, it seemed as if something was strangling my throat, and I couldn't make any sound.

The extreme horror robbed me of my voice, and at the same time made my limbs numb, as if in an ice cave.The white shadow passed through the wall to Lao Yao's room, and then Lao Yao followed behind it like a puppet, his limbs stiffened, followed it through several walls, and finally disappeared into the wall.

From the beginning to the end of this scene, it took no more than a cup of tea at most, but it was not until the ghost and Lao Yao disappeared in the wall for a long time, that I was relieved, and suddenly my body went limp, almost collapsed on the ground, and I hurriedly stretched out my hand Lai leaned on the fence panting heavily, sweating profusely.

This was my first experience of seeing a ghost. Although the ghost did not come to my cell, the whole cell suddenly became cold because of its arrival, which made me unstoppable.I stood leaning on the fence for a while, fear was a thief who stole all the strength from my body, I was so weak that I even found it difficult to swallow my saliva.At this moment, Gu Yue behind him suddenly said, "Did you see it?"

I turned around with difficulty, and Gu Yue stood calmly behind me, obviously witnessing the whole process of Lao Yao being taken away just like me.I nodded to him, but I still couldn't say anything. Only then did I remember that the ghost passed through so many cells through the walls. Obviously everyone in every room saw it, but no one said anything. Any noise, they really reached an agreement with that ghost.

"You don't have to be afraid, it will only take away the person we drew." Gu Yue said to me, "And we won't let you draw long and short."

"Why... what?" My upper and lower teeth were chattering as I spoke.

Gu Yue smiled, but didn't speak.At this time, the people in each cell stood in front of the fence, and their faces were calm.No one spoke, but it made the atmosphere in the cell even weirder.When I thought of someone being taken away by a ghost just now, I almost fell into madness. I couldn't bear it anymore, and couldn't help but yelled.

Following my yell, the voices outside suddenly became louder, and the door at the entrance of the cell was quickly opened, and the guards rushed in, including Qin Jian.He was fully dressed, obviously not asleep, and had been waiting for me to make a sound. As soon as he walked in, he went to Lao Yao's cell first. He glanced inside and found that Lao Yao was not there. Finally, there was a wave of fluctuation, as if trembling for a while, and then he said to the guards under him: "A thorough investigation of the entire cell."

The guards responded and began to check the cells one by one. Qin Jian walked up to my cell and asked me, "What happened?"

When I saw him come in, I felt that the temperature in the cell seemed to rise a little.The city patrolling horses running north and south, naturally cannot be a cowardly person, but the scene of the ghost taking people away is too terrifying, so it makes my liver and gallbladder torn.At this moment, I regained my composure, calmed my breath, organized my words, and told him the scene I saw.

Others in the cell listened to my narration quietly. At this moment, the guards came to report to Qin Jian, but Lao Yao was not found. He had indeed disappeared from the cell.Qin Jian listened, and looked at the faces of everyone in the prison one by one. Some people looked back at him silently, and some people avoided his eyes.

Qin Jian finally fixed his eyes on Gu Yue, Gu Yue's expression remained unchanged, Qin Jian looked at him for a while, and suddenly said: "It's late at night, let's all rest." Then he waved his hand to signal the guards to leave the cell.

I'm in a daze, is this the way it is?I stopped him and asked, "Aren't you going to check again?"

"The person has been taken away." Qin Jian said calmly, "Nothing should happen tonight."

I almost exploded when I heard the words, so why did you come in like this, and why did you ask me to warn you during the day?I stared at him, but Qin Jian ignored me, and just ordered the guards to leave the cell and lock the door again.The prisoners standing in front of the fence saw them recede, and all the people I could see stared at me quietly for a while, and then went back to the bed silently.

The eyes of those people stabbed me in the back. Obviously, everyone in this prison was in the same group, and I was the only one who was excluded.Although the eyes they looked at me were not hostile, they still made me fidgety when I got back to bed.Gu Yue ignored me, and lay with her back facing me. She didn't know if she was asleep or not, and it was impossible for me to call him, so I had to sit on the bed by myself, and recalled the scene just now.
