Chapter 167 Xiao Chi
By the time everyone got there, the figure had already disappeared. Next to the road was the Six Burial Bodhisattva Temple, which was completely abandoned and dilapidated.
The head of the head inside was still missing, it seemed that this evil god was not very welcome in this world. Everyone continued to move forward along the small wooden bridge.
All that meets the eye is desolation and ruin. Although people have been evacuated only a year ago, many houses have become dilapidated due to lack of maintenance.
Xiyue stared at the dilapidated village from afar, and stood there in a daze. Memories of her childhood filled her mind, and she continued to move forward after coming to her senses.
As they continued along the path, they saw a dark shadow in the distance. Xi Yueyao quickly called out, "Old Xiao!" But Xiao Chi did not respond.
Xi Yueyao quickly tried to catch up with him, and Xun Yuanfeng and the others followed closely behind him, but the fog became thicker, and in the elemental vision, the fog changed from white to black. It seemed that this fog was not an ordinary mountain fog.
Xi Yueyao followed the figure for a short while before she deviated from the route. Tao Mengyan shouted, "Little Sister Xi, be careful!"
Soon, many ghosts emerged from the thick fog and surrounded Xun Yuanfeng and the others. Xi Yueyao did not pay attention to Xun Yuanfeng and the others behind him and chased after Xiao Chi.
[Xi Yueyao] The fog ahead became thinner, and the figure could be seen clearly. It was a puppet that looked like me. Soon the puppet disappeared.
There was a sound of footsteps coming from the right side. [Xi Yueyao] looked over and saw a figure walking forward. The figure seemed to be Xiao Chi. He lowered his head and walked in the thick fog without saying a word. [Xi Yueyao] hurriedly shouted: "Old Xiao... Old Xiao... Xiao Chi!" Xiao Chi ignored him. [Xi Yueyao] hurriedly chased after him, but Xiao Chi's figure still disappeared in the thick fog.
[Xi Yueyao] ran out of the thick fog and found himself in Zangling Village. "How did I end up in Zangling Village?" [Xi Yueyao] looked around and saw an old woman sitting quietly in front of him, holding a white cat.
[Xi Yueyao] walked forward and found that the old woman seemed to be Yubaba. She was a relative of a patient in her hospital. Why did she meet here by such a coincidence?
【Xi Yueyao】 stepped forward and said hello. Granny Tang looked at Xi Yueyao and asked, "Where did you come from? Why are you dressed like this... Live broadcast? This evil Junko can't be found by ordinary people, why are you here to cause bad luck?"
Xi Yueyao said softly, "Granny Tang, I'm not a young man. Don't you remember me? I'm Doctor Xi from the Thirteenth Hospital."
Granny Tang looked at Xi Yueyao seriously, "Eh? Doctor Xi? Oh, I'm sorry, I've been a little confused lately. Sometimes I can't even recognize Alzheimer's disease. When I get old, by then..."
[Xi Yueyao] asked in confusion, "You can actually remember the name of this disease word for word. I really don't want people with this disease... Mother-in-law, remember that you are not considered part of this village. And there is no one living in this village anymore. What are you doing sitting here?"
Yubaba suddenly slapped her thigh, "Eh? Oh, yes, there's no one here. No one is good, this evil place should have been cleared up long ago. I was waiting for my daughter here, and I don't know where she went."
Yubaba said with a little sadness, "I just thought, maybe there is something she wants in this village, and she will come back here to find it. I can also visit her again and persuade her..."
[Xi Yueyao] consoled her: "Your daughter must be fine and will come back safely."
Tangbaba sighed, "Oh... I hope so. Thank you." Then she asked, "Doctor Xiao Xi, what are you doing here? This is not a good place. There are many evil things. Don't come if you can."
Xi Yueyao said calmly, "To be honest, I was born in this village. My family was cursed, and I came back this time to see if I could find any relevant information."
After listening to Xi Yueyao's words, Tangbaba nodded in understanding: "The curse of the Six Burial Bodhisattvas? That's not a good thing. You won't listen even if I tell you to leave. If you need help, come to me. Even though I'm confused, I'll help you if I can."
【Xi Yueyao】Looking at the two puppets sticking their heads out from behind the door behind Yubaba, aren't they from the Thirteenth Hospital? I don't know how they got here. I thought to myself, "I heard that Yubaba is a fortune-teller, maybe she can really help me solve my doubts?"
[Xi Yueyao] said to Tangbaba: "Thank you, Tangbaba. There are a few figures behind the door over there. They don't look like people... Do you know what they are?"
Hearing this, Yubaba shakily pulled out a smartphone from her pocket, turned on the camera and started taking pictures in the direction of the door. She looked at it in confusion for several times. "There's nothing strange? I can't see it on my phone."
[Xi Yueyao] was silent for a moment, thinking to himself, "Can I see those things with a mobile phone? It seems like I really have Alzheimer's..."
She said to Tangbaba, "It's okay. Maybe I saw it wrong. I'll go into the old house to look for clues. It's getting dark. You should go home early, too."
Yubaba stroked the cat in her arms and said, "It's okay, it's okay. I'll sit for a while and then I'll be back."
[Xi Yueyao] walked straight into the door and said curiously: "I can still see the two puppets outside, but they disappeared when I got closer. I don't know where they hid..."
"The one in front is Lao Xiao's house, and my house is on the left. It's been more than 20 years, but I still remember some details... We often made a gap in the fence in the middle to drill through it, but now it has completely collapsed..."
Walking over, several funeral clothes were hung on ropes to dry, and a paper chicken was placed in the chicken cage. [Xi Yueyao] walked to the woodshed and was suddenly startled. The puppets that were supposed to be in the Thirteenth Hospital were all in the woodshed.
[Xi Yueyao] plucked up his courage and said, "Why... did you follow me here?" The puppets said nothing.
[Xi Yueyao] then looked around for clues, and after feeding the paper chicken some rice, he got a diagnosis. He then had a splitting headache, but couldn't remember anything.
[Xi Yueyao] had no choice but to search everywhere again. He pulled out the nails on the door frame, dismantled the wooden boards, entered Xiao Chi's house, and searched everywhere inside.
Looking at the huge mirror on the counter, Xi Yueyao stood in front of the mirror, but what she saw was not herself, but a strange little girl.
[Xi Yueyao] saw a tape recorder on the small cabinet, inserted a piece of wire from the bicycle as an antenna, turned on the tape recorder, fiddled with it for a while, and then Xiao Chi's voice came from it.
[···I have been experiencing severe memory loss recently. I often don't know what I did just now or why I ended up in another place. This is very similar to my childhood. I will now hypnotize myself through the mirror and let you come out. If it is really you, please talk to me like you did with your diary back then, using this recorder······]
[Xi Yueyao] thought, "This is Lao Xiao's voice... Is he using this method to verify whether his illness is caused by replacing his personality with another one?"
A vague voice came from the tape recorder, [The day the tower was built, fate had come. I am not a delusion, I am your guide. You are not a woman, do not fall into illusions.]
[Lao Xiao? What's going on... Why am I in your house? What does the tape recorder mean? Who are you talking to?] The tape popped out.
"I'm not a woman, what a joke... My head hurts... I'm not Xi Yueyao... This is impossible..." [Xi Yueyao] looked up and saw a tall man wearing a mask in the big mirror. The man took off the mask and revealed the face of Xiao Chi. "I... I am... Xiao... Chi?"
At this moment, the door suddenly opened, and Xiao Chi looked over. It was a puppet that looked like Xi Yueyao. Xiao Chi thought that he was the one who killed Xi Yueyao, so he covered his face with sorrow and said to the puppet that looked like Xi Yueyao: "Xiao Xi... are you here to take my life? I'm sorry, I killed you... If you are very angry, just take me away..."
