The house is very simple, with solid soil on the ground and mottled gray and white walls. There is only one bed, a table and two stools in the furniture inside.

The bedding was piled up on the bed, and it was obvious that someone had slept. Ying Qiao lifted up the bedding and found a wrench on the bed. The table was placed against the wall, and the stool fell to the ground.

Ying Qiao checked around the house and his eyes were fixed on the window frame.

The old wooden window frame was covered with dirty blood, which had condensed into red and black blood clots. A large piece of the wall skin under the window fell, and gray and white wall powder fell on the ground, as if someone had once been hiding under the window and accidentally rubbed off the wall skin.

Ying Qiao lowered his eyes and thought, connecting these sporadic discoveries.

Jiang Qing was Sanshui Village with Xue Meng. When he entered the village, he saw a car parked under a big tree at the entrance of the village. He recognized it as Jiang Qing's official car, but the tires of the car were flat, and it was very likely that the car was broken and could not contact the outside world. So the two stayed in the village overnight.

There is nothing in this room, obviously it is just a temporary residence. There are signs of sleeping on the bedding, so it is very likely that Jiang Qing and the others will sleep in this room.

They may have encountered danger later. Ying Qiao was clotting the scattered feathers and dirty blood outside the window, and then contacted the people from the Special Management Bureau and said that the traces of the Gu Diao were found here, and it was speculated that the Gu Diao attacked them.

Xue Meng is an ordinary person, but Jiang Qing is a lion clan. Although he is still a little boy, Ying Qiao discovered it a few times when he went on a mission with him. The little monster had the aura of a newborn calf not afraid of a tiger. He was particularly reckless. Judging from the situation outside, he probably had a fierce battle with the Gu Diao who attacked them.

But what happened after the fierce battle? Was Jiang Qing injured? Where are you going now?

Ying Qiao suppressed the anxiety in his heart and forced himself to think calmly.

Poverty alleviation is a rotation. When Jiang Qing was trapped in Sanshui Village and could not contact the outside world, she would definitely hope that her colleagues who took over their place would find abnormalities and come to the village to find someone. If so, they should take the initiative to leave clues.

Ying Qiao glanced around the simple house and then carefully looked it out in the house.

He finally found a shutdown cell phone between the table and the wall. Ying Qiao recognized Jiang Qing's cell phone. This was not Jiang Qing's, but it was probably Xue Meng, who was with him.

After turning on the phone, the phone has 10% left in power. Without unlocking, you can directly enter the main interface.

An audio file is placed separately in the center of the main interface. When Ying Qiao saw the name of the text, his eyes were stagnant. His fingers hovered over the audio named "Suicide" for a long time before he finally clicked.

The audio started to play, first with a harsh noise, then with Xue Meng's hoarse and crying voice.

He seemed to try his best to repeat the incident in a complete way, but in fact he was a little confused, with uninterrupted noises in the background sound. If you listen carefully, you can tell that it is a sound similar to a baby's crying.

It should be the call of the Gu Diao.

Ying Qiao's eyes swept to the wall that was rubbed off under the windowsill, guessing that Xue Meng was recording there.

The audio was still playing, Xue Meng's voice was hoarse, and finally reached the point: "Jiang Qing asked me to hide in the house and went out by myself."

"The room is too dark, I can't see outside, I can only listen... Later I smelled a strong smell of blood. I hid under the window and looked out, and saw a monster with long horns bit off the monster's head, and blood was squirting everywhere... I searched for a long time but couldn't find Jiang Qing, and only found clothes thrown in the corner..."

The sound in the audio paused for a moment before continuing again, Xue Meng's voice became hoarse than before: "That was Jiang Qing's clothes, he was eaten by those monsters... I will do it soon--"

The audio came to an abrupt end.

Ying Qiao looked at the deformed mobile phone, with no expression on his handsome face. He was like a sculpture, standing there in place with the scrapped mobile phone, without moving.

In rationality, he felt that Jiang Qing's death could not be determined by just one piece of clothing, but emotionally, the moment he heard "he was eaten by those monsters", his reason was on the verge of breaking.

All the anxiety and worries accumulated before turned into irreparable violence at this moment.

The dragon scales appeared on his handsome face, and the human pupils had been replaced by golden vertical pupils. Ying Qiao threw the scrapped phone aside and walked towards the Huang Branch Secretary outside step by step...

...

The long-simmering thunderstorm finally fell.

In the ink-like clouds, a thick electric dragon wandered and then slashed down quickly with an unstoppable momentum. The deafening thunder exploded with the lightning, tearing open countless gaps through the endless ghost miasma.

The heavy rain poured down.

Chen Hua and others who arrived one step later looked at the violent astronomical phenomena in amazement.

"This, this..." The Taoist priest who was walking with him looked at the crazy rotating compass pointer and looked at the sky. After a long time, he could not say a complete sentence.

Chen Hua wiped the rain on his face and shouted in the thunder: "Everyone retreats."

The thunder roared, and no one dared to force it. Everyone immediately retreated a hundred meters away. Others didn't know what was going on with this strange and terrifying celestial phenomenon, but he knew it.

Ying Qiao was worried that Jiang Luan would come to Sanshui Village first. Only he could do it when stirring up the celestial phenomena and summoning thunderstorms.

Something must have happened to Jiang Luang.

Chen Hua cursed and before he could explain, he jumped into the torn gap of the ghost miasma.

***

The two big Gu eagles were much more powerful than those smaller ones. It took Jiang Qing a little longer to bite off their necks.

He did not rush to eat these two Gu eagles, but instead made them according to law and hung them upside down on the dead tree.

The strong smell of blood dissipated in the air. Jiang Qing was guarding the tree and stared at the tower. The hole on the tower was dark and dirty. Jiang Qing had felt something hidden in the tower from just now, and it gave him a very comfortable feeling.

Jiang Qing didn't go in rashly, and wanted to try fishing out the things inside.

The blood of the Gu eagle dripped from the dead head and eventually sank into the soil.

The calm ground suddenly vibrated, something was coming out of the soil, first at four corners, then at the head, and finally at the huge body...

A monster, which looks like a sheep but is extremely huge, completely drilled out of the soil. Its thick limbs shattered the stone tomb, withered wild grass and vines hanging on its four corners, and its thick mane was stranded in strands, mixed with grass clippings, soil and dried and solidified blood stains, dragged long on the ground.

Jiang Qing exclaimed, her scarlet eyes widened in surprise, but she became even more excited: "Tu Xiao?"

He turned to look at the cemetery, but he didn't expect that a small Sanshui Village would nourish so many people-eating monsters.

The earthlings looked at the corpse of Gu Diao coveted. It was printed by the fragrance of Gu Diao's blood, but the ginger greed that was guarding Gu Diao made it feel a little afraid. But this fear quickly lost to the desire to eat.

It let out a thick and weird roar, lowered its head and exposed four hard and sharp horns, and rushed towards Jiang Leng.

Jiang Qing narrowed her eyes, and also showed her curved and hard corners, and bravely met her,

The huge and heavy body collided with each other, and the friction between the horns made a dull sound. The four horns of the earth slut broke with the sound. It made a painful roar, but Jiang Qing continued to exert force, and the sharp horn pierced the other's fur into the head, slamming the other's fur and overturned the other to the ground.

The earthworm was trying to struggle to stand up, and the broken horns and big holes on the top of his head kept flowing out of dark red and smelly blood.

Jiang Qing roared, then rushed over and bit Tu Lu's neck, and threw it under the tower that was always quiet.

The ground was slightly shaken by the body of the earth.

The black tower fell down.

Jiang Qing looked up at the black hole at the top of the tower, her eyes rolled, her throat snorted twice, and then picked up the earth croaking that had not yet died, and climbed up along the tower body.

It was dark outside, and the tower became even darker. Jiang Qing glanced over the stacked corpses at the bottom of the tower, but did not find the thing that made him uncomfortable. He dived his claws in annoyance, threw the earthworm into the tower, and then jumped down himself.

At the bottom of the tower was soft mud like a swamp, and there were many small and fragmented baby bones piled up on it, layer by layer. Taotie's original shape was too big and too heavy, and half of Jiang Qing's body was trapped in the swamp-like mud. He pulled himself out and simply turned back into a human form.

The bottom of the tower was covered with infant corpses, and he had nowhere to settle down, so he could only climb onto half of his body that had not yet sunk and stood around to observe.

There were no obstacles at the bottom of the tower, and he could see them all at a glance.

Inside the baby's corpse, there were many ropes and bamboo baskets that were not completely decayed. He looked at these things and probably knew what the tower was doing.

——This is the burial place for abandoned babies, also known as the Baby Tower.

There are always many natural and man-made disasters on this land. Human beings are too fragile. If they encounter disaster years, even adults cannot survive, let alone more fragile babies. Therefore, many newborn babies are cruelly abandoned by their parents. Most of them are babies, some are really unable to support them, and some do not want to lose money... In short, there are many reasons for these parents to abandon their newborn children.

Later, more and more people abandoned their children, and more and more babies were piled up, so there was a baby tower.

Those abandoned children were put into the tower and fend for themselves. When enough bones were piled up, they could burn them cleanly.

Year after year, repeating.

The baby's ashes accumulated into soft mud at the bottom of the tower.

The grave of a living person, the tower of a baby. No wonder this small grave can make the resentment soar.

Jiang Qing finally knew what these endless black fog were. This was the miasma condensed by the resentment of countless dead people. After years of release and accumulation, it was finally powerful enough to swallow the entire Sanshui Village.

It even nourishes people-eating monsters like Gu Diao and Tulu.

The flesh and blood of the dead raised monsters. These monsters became stronger and stronger and finally began to hunt living people.

This is probably the causal cycle in the dark.
