I found that the other party had a calm face, and he seemed to have gotten used to it for a long time.

"There are three black shadows in the forest, and there are many white candles. When the moon is lit, the game begins. Be careful not to be left in the dark night."

What was playing on the TV seemed to be a weird nursery rhyme. The sound was too low and Li Gui could hear it very vaguely. However, there were a few blurry words displayed on the computer and the barrage was being translated in real time. He could barely understand the song on the computer. mean.

"This seems like a game?"

A trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and Li Gui then looked at the phone.

The white text on a black background on the computer screen flickered a few times and was replaced by a video.

The viewing angle of the video is No. 1, but the person who took the video is very unprofessional, the video is always shaky, and the picture quality is a bit blurry.

Chapter 426 White Candle in the Forest

"If my parents knew that I sneaked away so far, they would probably get beaten again."

The person taking the video seemed to be a little boy, and his voice sounded very childish. In addition to him, there were three children, two boys and one girl. Including the video shooter, the four of them formed a small circle.

Judging from the video, the four children seemed to be in a forest. The distant mountains reflected the last sunset before the sun went down. A gentle breeze blew by, and the light spots in the ground began to sway on them. The whole environment looked particularly beautiful.

Only Li Gui, who listened to the children's song with a serious expression, knew that this was just the silence before the terror came.

"You coward, you are not as good as a girl. If you are really scared, just go home. Anyway, I will definitely participate in today's courage test."

The first person to speak in the video was a little boy sitting on the left. He was wearing a yellow hat, short-sleeved shorts, thick eyebrows, thin and long eyes, and some freckles on his face.

"Actually, I'm scared too, Brother Long'er. If it doesn't work, let's go back."

The girl in the boy's mouth must be his sister, who looks like she is sitting quietly next to him with a braided braid.

"Don't be afraid. If something happens, I will protect you."

"Have you got your lighter?"

The little boy at the end spoke for the first time. He wore glasses and a red scarf around his neck.

"I took one secretly."

"Feng'er and I can just use one."

"Then I'll use one."

Four children put three lighters in the middle. The setting sun on the top of the mountain in the distance began to slowly become blurry, and the tone of the entire picture gradually became darker.

"There's still half an hour left. In half an hour, we'll start. Hehe, we succeeded this time. I'll be the first one to complete the challenge!"

"I-I'm still scared."

"It's okay, your brother and I are here."

"Sun Yijun, please turn off the camera to avoid running out of power at night."

"Ahem, let's analyze the tactics first. According to the rules of the game, each person needs to take a lit candle. Before the candle burns out, he must find the next one in the forest..."

"okay."

The name of the little boy who shot the video was Sun Yijun. He agreed and turned off the camera, and the computer screen turned black again.

"It's gone, it's gone."

"I thought something was wrong. It was a false alarm and I took off my pants."

"I think I've seen some of the kids in the video on some news."

"There should be more. If it really ends in such an unclear way, it would be a bit boring."

"Isn't there a children's song at the beginning? You can guess what game they are playing based on the lyrics."

The barrage surged again. Li Gui said nothing but stared at the screen. Xu Qing and Yang Xueer behind him also gathered around curiously.

Two fierce ghosts in red stood behind Wang Xinlan, which made Wang Xinlan, who was already feeling cold and cold, feel even more inexplicably creepy. However, when she looked behind her, she saw nothing.

"strangeness."

After taking another look at Li Gui and finding nothing unusual, Wang Xinlan turned her attention to Li Gui's phone again.

"There are three black shadows in the forest, and there are many white candles. The moon is lit, and the game has begun. Be careful not to be left in the dark night. Be careful not to be left in the dark night."

The silence on the computer screen didn't last long, about ten seconds.

A children's song with white characters on a black background appeared again, and this time the sound was clearer than the first time. It could be vaguely heard that it was a little girl singing.

Most of the lyrics are the same, but there are subtle changes. The last line is repeated, which seems to be a threatening warning and a repetition of the successful death.

The sound of the children's songs slowly faded into nothingness, and a new video appeared on the computer screen.

"The time is up, let's proceed as planned."

The positions of the children on the screen have been slightly changed, but overall they still form a circle.

The sky in the woods has completely darkened, without the beautiful sunset scenery at the beginning. The surroundings in the darkness look particularly strange. The tree trunks standing irregularly in the distance are like deformed figures, staring at the group of people holding hands. Little child with white candle.

The camera in the hands of the person who shot the video does not seem to have a night vision mode. He can only barely identify them based on the candles burning in each child's hand. The weak light is not clear, and the constantly beating firelight makes their faces look like they have been dead for many days. people.

"Remember this location. If anyone collects extra candles, take them. Try to collect more candles before they burn out."

The boy who was wearing the hat at the beginning was the one who spoke. He stood up and pulled his sister, as if he was planning to separate.

"I still think it's safer for the four of us to be together. I heard something is very wrong in this forest."

The one who made the suggestion was the boy with glasses sitting next to Sun Yijun. He looked slightly uneasy as he looked at the darkness around him.

"Wang Qian, aren't you very good at studying? You are still saying this at this time. Didn't you realize that one candle can only illuminate one person? If four people walk together, according to the rules of the game, they have to light four candles. There was no time to collect enough candles to last until dawn."

Realizing that his sister was a little scared, the boy wearing the hat sounded slightly angry.

The little boy with glasses named Wang Qian did not answer, and he held the white candle harder in his hand.

For some reason, the candles in the hands of the four children were very low, and the lighting range was also very small. In the dark forest, each of them could only illuminate their own upper body.

It's not bright, and it's extremely dazzling.

"Okay, hurry up and follow the plan, lest the candles burn out later."

A gust of wind passed by, rustling the leaves overhead.

The little boy in the lead was also a little scared, but maybe because his sister was by his side, he didn't show it and walked towards the darkness behind him with all his strength.

The two weak candles were slowly swallowed up by the entire darkness, and the branches under the moonlight seemed like people stretching their necks, looking longingly at the pair of children slowly walking towards them.

"Why does everyone have to hold a candle in their hand? Would something terrible happen without light?"

According to the few words of several children in the video, Li Gui is slowly exploring the rules of this strange game.

"Sun Yijun, let's go together."

It can be seen that Wang Qian, the little boy with glasses, is really scared. Sun Yijun, who took the video, did not refuse. The video followed his movements and nodded up and down.

"If you find two at a time, there should be no problem."

Seeing that Sun Yijun agreed, Wang Qian felt a little relieved. He stood up and hesitated for a moment and walked forward proactively, while Sun Yijun followed behind him with a camera.

The two children walked in the other direction one after the other.

Chapter 427 Figure

"Wang Qian, you read a lot of books. Do you know why so many white candles appear in the woods every time I read this article? It feels so scary."

In order to dispel the fear in their hearts, the two children began to talk in a low voice, as if they were afraid of waking up some kind of terrifying existence.

"I heard my mother say that there seemed to be a fire near here before, killing a whole family, and from that day on, there would be strange sounds in the woods every night. Sometimes someone would cry, and sometimes someone would cry. Someone called for help, and after a while there was the sound of someone walking."

"The people in the town didn't pay much attention to it at the time. They thought it might be a rumor, and the key was that nothing happened. But later they said it was a request from the town government. They were worried about wildfires in the forest, so they moved in a very young ranger."

"Then the young ranger went on patrol in the woods that night and never came back, and the police didn't find any clues."

"The old man in the town said that this forest is haunted by evil spirits, and asked ordinary people not to come near it. However, such a large forest must be guarded by someone to prevent fires. If the wildfire spreads, more people may be sacrificed."

"So after a few months, a new ranger was moved in. In order to appease the legendary ghosts, this ranger would place white candles in the forest during daytime patrols."

"I heard from my mother that after those white candles were put up, those strange noises never happened again, and nothing happened to the second ranger until he was transferred and resigned."

Wang Qian spoke in a low voice, but Sun Yijun was very close to him, and the camera successfully recorded this long conversation.

Not paying attention to the heated barrage in the live broadcast room because of this paragraph, combined with the clues he compiled at the beginning, Li Gui had an uncertain speculation in his mind.

"The innocent souls mentioned in the video should be the 'them' the artist mentioned in his letter. At that time, the artist witnessed the family being burned alive without any rescue, so they turned into resentful spirits and haunted the artist."

"The artist believed that he had a mental problem. The oil paintings he painted afterwards looked extremely scary and weird, and the scenes of fires that day frequently appeared. White candles were placed in the forest, which had no effect on appeasing the ghosts. It was just that these evil spirits were entangled in the painter at that time. There was no dealing with the rangers around.”

There seemed to be nothing wrong with this reasoning, but after calming down and conducting an investigation from beginning to end, Li Gui was keenly aware of something amiss.

"No, the time doesn't match."

According to the child named Wang Qian in the video, there was a disappearance case in the woods, and the first ranger who came disappeared.

That means that the ghosts who died tragically were not with the painter at that time, but in the woods.The painter was not killed by the resentful spirit immediately, but disappeared after a long period of time. He even left the town and went to the hospital to consult a psychiatrist.

Even the red-clothed ghost needs a sustenance to leave the place where he died. Without anyone's instructions, the resentful ghost will not consciously torture his enemy, but will only want to kill him quickly.

The disappearance of the painter and his son does not seem to be the work of the ghosts mentioned in the video.

But they are indeed missing. If it is not caused by the ghosts of the family who were burned to death, it means that there is a third party who is systematically manipulating all this.

Realizing that he had fallen into a misunderstanding, Li Gui's eyes immediately flashed with light.

"What made the painter and his son disappear from beginning to end was not the grudge mentioned in the painter's letter, but someone else."

"Wang Qian, you'd better stop talking. I, I'm afraid."

In the video, the two children's death-defying game continues, and they are still walking deeper into the woods.

Putting his reasoning aside for the time being, Li Gui probably guessed something and looked at his phone with a solemn expression.

"It's okay, me, we follow the rules of the game, there should be no danger."

It was only in hindsight that he realized that the current atmosphere was not right. Wang Qian slowed down and waited until Sun Yijun came to his side before he felt a little better.

Wang Qian's story made the two timid people even more frightened. They didn't speak for a while. Only the sound of shuffling footsteps could be heard in the video. The surrounding tree trunks seemed to be getting closer and closer. At first, they were still coming from time to time. The sound of cold wind completely disappeared.

After a while, Wang Qian, who walked to the front and noticed something was wrong, stopped.

"Yijun, have you noticed that we walked for so long without encountering a single candle?"

The walking route of the two children was too simple, and the only lighting tool was the weak candle in their hands. If you didn't look carefully, you would easily miss it even if you encountered a candle.

The camera angle of the video follows Sun Yijun as he lowers his head and looks at the candle in his hand.

Unknowingly, most of the candles in his and Wang Qian's hands had been burned out. If they couldn't find new candles, they would fall into darkness.

The surrounding trees are like figures hanging upside down. If you want to find new candles, you can only go deeper.

To find hope is to dive deeper into despair.

"Could it be that it has been used up by people who came to explore before?"

Sun Yijun looked very scared, and the camera in his hand was pointed back and forth around the two of them. They didn't know where they were going. They just felt that the surroundings were extremely dark, and the moonlight could not shine at all. It was too quiet and there was no movement at all.

Only the weak candlelight in their hands was beating continuously. As the shooting angle moved to a tree to the left of the two of them, Xu Qingqing, who was behind Li Gui, suddenly said something.

"Someone."

Ok?

Immersed in the content of the video, Li Gui was startled by Xu Qing's voice. After reacting, Li Gui immediately focused his attention and carefully watched the scenes captured in the video.

Unfortunately, the picture was too blurry and dark. Like the two children in the video, he didn't see anything. But after Xu Qing said this, he seemed to feel behind those thick tree trunks.

Weird figures were revealed.

"like......"

Sun Yijun, who shot the video, seemed to have noticed something and stopped before he finished speaking.

The focus of the camera gradually zoomed in on a tree. Behind the tree, a clear and strange figure slowly emerged. His whole body was hiding behind the trunk, and his head stretched out in an abnormal twist and fell down, almost touching him. to the ground.

"Yoshijun!"

"what!"

The focus of the video was still zooming in. Just when Sun Yijun immediately saw the true appearance of the strange figure, someone suddenly took a picture of him from behind.

The camera filming the video shook violently for a moment.
