The forest path leading to the waterfall was no longer accessible. Ling Yun parked the car on the side of the road and several people walked down one after another.

The light in the forest was dark, and the straight and tall trees blocked most of the sunlight. Only sparse and dappled light shone through the branches and leaves of the trees. The whole forest was surprisingly quiet.

Ling Yun and his party discovered that someone had dug traces around the path, and every few dozen meters along the way, there were signs pointing to the waterfall. As Mrs. Laura said, before the accident, tourists often came to visit nearby.

"There doesn't seem to be anything unusual in this area. The props are unresponsive." Ling Yun held a compass in his hand, which is a prop that can accurately detect the breath and movement of ghosts.

"It seems we have to go deeper. The problem is probably near the waterfall." Lin Yuanqi kept searching around, and suddenly he found a few soft footprints on the ground nearby. The footprints were not deep, and the soles of his shoes were

The traces are clearly visible, and judging from the time, they were left not long ago.

"Judging from the footprints, there is only one person on the other side. It seems that it is not Zhu Qingrong and the others. Could it be someone who lives nearby?" Pan Rong stepped forward and analyzed.

According to Mrs. Laura, after the case of missing children, people in the small town were afraid to avoid this dense forest and did not dare to approach it easily. In this case, how could ordinary people dare to drill into the forest?

Thinking of this, Ling Yun immediately stood up and said to his companions: "Maybe that person hasn't left yet, let's go over and have a look."

"Okay." Lin Yuanqi responded, and everyone immediately quickened their pace.

On the other side, Li Xinjian and Tang Yao were walking at the end of the team. They were breathing heavily and walking very hard. Now they have become children under ten years old, and their movements are more or less affected. At least in

In terms of physical fitness, it can no longer be compared with usual.

Ling Yun took a big step, and the two of them had to run three or four steps with their short legs. When Ling Yun turned around, he found that except for Pan Rong who could barely keep up, Tang Yao and Li Xinjian had fallen a lot behind.

"Sorry, I almost forgot, you are all children now." Ling Yun stopped, squatted in front of Pan Rong, and motioned for the other party to lie on his back.

At first, Pan Rong was a little embarrassed. She waved her hands repeatedly, saying that she still had the strength to walk and that she just needed to take good care of Tang Yao and Li Xinjian.

"Yes, come on, come on, let mom hug you." Lin Yuanqi's eyes lit up when he heard what she said, and he opened his arms to hug Tang Yao.

But unexpectedly, Ling Yun picked up his youngest son Li Xinjian and put him into Lin Yuanqi's arms.

"you……"

Lin Yuanqi stared, watching Ling Yun carry Pan Rong on his back, holding Tang Yao in his arms, and walked slowly past him.

"The youngest son is the youngest of the three children. You are a woman now and don't have much strength. Don't stand still and leave quickly." Ling Yun glanced at the other party and quickened his pace.

Unlike Lin Yuanqi, his body is now that of a muscular and strong middle-aged man. Even with two children on his back, Ling Yun is not much of a burden.

Pan Rong lay on Ling Yun's shoulder, feeling the other person's vigorous steps, and couldn't help but laugh: "You suddenly reminded me of how my father carried me home when I was very young."

"Really? It's a good time to experience the joy of childhood again." Ling Yun joked with her, lifting Tang Yao up with his left hand, adjusting his posture slightly and tidying up her messy coat.

Tang Yao lay quietly on Ling Yun's shoulder, not saying a word from beginning to end.

"It might be a bit awkward. If you feel uncomfortable, tell me." Ling Yun did not notice this abnormality. To him, what he was holding now was just a seven-year-old girl. On the contrary, it was Pan Rong who looked at Tang

Yao's face was already flushed and she could hardly hold back her laughter.

"Haha, is someone's nose so angry right now?" Li Xinjian saw the excitement and didn't take it too seriously, and even added insult to injury by criticizing Lin Yuanqi.

"If you say one more word, do you believe I will throw it away for you immediately?" Lin Yuanqi gritted his teeth, and he almost squeezed this sentence out from between his teeth.

The group of people quickly walked through the woods and continued forward along the sign. Soon, they heard the roar of the waterfall in front of them. The view gradually broadened, and through the woods, there was an open space in front of them.

The waterfall hangs from a high altitude and pounces down. The sound is like the roar of a wild lion, which is deafening. There is a pool of clear water below the waterfall. The water flow stirs up white waves, which hit the rocks on the shore. The wind mixed with the spray blows on the

Everyone's faces felt a lot cooler.

"There's really someone over there!"

Pan Rong noticed at a glance that there was a middle-aged man in his forties standing by the pond in front of him.

At this time, the man had his back to them and seemed to be observing the pool below the waterfall. Because the sound of the waterfall was too loud, he did not notice the others approaching until Ling Yun walked behind the other person and patted him on the shoulder.

The man's body trembled violently as if he was electrocuted. He turned around and before he could speak, the moment he saw Ling Yun and others, his eyes fell on Tang Yao and Li Xin's fitness.

"Damn it, don't you know where this place is?! Take your children and leave!"

The man couldn't help but grabbed Ling Yun's collar excitedly, looking very excited.

"Hey, brother, I'm sorry, did I scare you? Please calm down..." Ling Yun did not resist. From the man's reaction, it seemed that the other party had experienced something. So, he deliberately pretended not to know,

Trying to argue with the other party: "I just brought my family here to have fun. We didn't mean any harm."

"If you don't want anything to happen to your family, listen to me and leave this damn town now, as far away as possible!" The man kept swearing, and he gradually let go of his hand. He collapsed and squatted on the ground, holding his head.

Constantly annoyed: "If I could have done so much, nothing would have happened to Jack and Emily... It's all my fault..."

Hearing what he said, Ling Yun and others looked at each other. They didn't know whether they were lucky or if the space was deliberately arranged: isn't the man in front of them the victim they want to find?!

At the same time, Tang Yao took out a small handkerchief from her pocket, slowly walked forward and handed it to the man.

The man raised his head and looked at the little girl in front of him. In a trance, he seemed to see the shadow of his daughter in her. He stretched out his hand tremblingly, and the girl in front of him was not afraid and obediently let him touch her.

He also wiped away his tears.

"Sir, what's going on here? What do you mean by what you just said?" After the man adjusted his mood, Lin Yuanqi quickly introduced himself and told him that his family had just moved to the neighborhood today.

"Hello, my name is John Wilson." The man rubbed Tang Yao's hair and looked at the child's cute face. He withdrew his gaze and walked up to Ling Yun and Lin Yuanqi. His tone became extremely...

serious.

"I wasn't kidding you just now. This is a cursed pool, and any child who has been here will be bewitched by it. Fifteen years ago, I took my whole family here for a picnic. Except for my pregnant wife,

There is also the eldest son Jack and the youngest daughter Emily."

As if recalling that painful experience, the man paused and took a deep breath: "I still remember that at that time, my wife, my little daughter, and I were sitting in the open space in front of us enjoying the scenery. And not long after, it turned out that
