Chapter 246 Framed
Chapter 246 Framed

Xiayuan Village.

Li Mu looked very bad, and his condition was even worse because he hadn't had a real rest for a long time.

Originally according to his idea, this mission was not suitable for separate actions. After all, the whole village was hung with horrifying blood-colored shrouds, and the eyes of those old people were also very strange.

But both Song Que and Ren Wudao expressed their willingness to look for clues on their own.

In desperation, Li Mu could only agree to act separately.

Jiang Zhijie and Li Yuejun also looked at him strangely. In fact, a similar situation occurred before this mission began.

The anonymous person suddenly sent a document revealing the secret of the key.

From then on, the way most people looked at Li Mu changed. The trust and respect they should have had turned into suspicion and wariness.

And...some deeply hidden desires and greed.

Li Mu knew that he couldn't explain it clearly, because he was indeed the person who had lived the longest in the fog, and it was natural for everyone to suspect that he had the key.

But he knew that he really didn't have any keys. In fact, this was the first time he heard about keys.

After this time...I must explain it to everyone.

Li Mu thought as he walked.

This mission was of great importance, and he had no confidence at all that he could get out alive.

Unlike many people, Li Mu does not want to die, but he is not afraid of death either.

In fact, after choosing the profession of criminal police, he was already prepared to die in the line of duty.

Therefore, besides being afraid, he was also more calm.

In previous missions, this calmness had allowed him to calm down many times at critical moments of life and death and think of ways to escape. But this time, since stepping into this strange village, he had been unable to suppress his strong heartbeat.

I hope... I can go back alive.

Li Mu pinched his nose bridge. He was so tired. He felt tired after walking less than a hundred meters along the fork road in the village.

If he can't find a way to break the curse, he will most likely die suddenly in the near future.

After slapping his face and forcing himself to cheer up, Li Mu realized that he had reached the end of his road.

In front of me is a small courtyard with an ancestral hall inside.

Although the ancestral hall does not look big, its architectural style is completely different from the surrounding houses.

Li Mu thought about it and walked over slowly.

He pushed the door gently, opened it a crack, and looked inside...

It's a very ordinary ancestral hall, nothing seems unusual.

However, for places like these with sacrificial themes, it is best to search carefully. Although the risk is great, there will usually be gains.

With this thought in mind, Li Mu pushed open the door and walked in slowly.

After entering the ancestral hall, Li Mu found that it was not really that big, but the portraits of human faces hanging on the altar were a bit scary.

Could the clue to the mystery be hidden in the painting?
In this ancestral hall, these portraits are the most bizarre. However, as Li Mu gradually approached the portraits, his heart beat faster and faster.

Suddenly, his feet felt weak, as if he stepped on something?
Li Mu looked down quickly. It was just an ordinary bluestone floor. Logically... it shouldn't be soft to step on.

Did I just step on a ghost?

As soon as this thought popped up in his mind, Li Mu quickly stopped it. He had experienced too many such things. Often, what you thought was real was actually just an illusion. But if you keep thinking about it and keep scaring yourself, illusions can kill you...

At this moment, the portrait is right in front of me. There are three portraits in total, and all three are men.

Li Mu stared at the three portraits, and the more he looked at them, the weirder they seemed. Although the three men looked completely different, Li Mu had an inexplicable intuition, and as a criminal police officer, he knew that the men in the three paintings were the same person.

After this thought came to Li Mu, when he looked at the three portraits again, the more he looked... the more he felt that these three people were alike.

Not a physical resemblance, but something purer.

As he watched, Li Mu felt a little uncomfortable.

When he came to his senses and looked away, he found that the sunlight outside the window had disappeared.

What was even more bizarre was that even though it was so dark inside the ancestral hall, he could actually see these portraits clearly...

Li Mu felt a little cold all over, and a chilling feeling came over him.

Li Mu immediately stopped exploring the portrait and quickly retreated to the door.

However, at this moment, some strange noises suddenly sounded.

"Shh-"

"Shh-"

"Shh-"

There's something behind him...

Li Mu felt a chill. He didn't dare to look back and opened the door as quickly as possible.

However, as soon as the door opened and he had no time to go out, he saw a shadow cast on him.

A handsome young man looked down at him, the sun hidden in the clouds behind him.

"Ren Wudao? Why are you coming in my direction?"

Li Mu was startled and asked in confusion at first, then he quickly realized that now was not a good time to talk, "Go!"

However, when Li Mu was about to pull Ren Wudao away, he saw Ren Wudao shake off his hand.

Not only that, his expression also began to become weird. The corners of his mouth raised a malicious smile, and he whispered in Li Mu's ear:
"It's been so long, it's time for you to die, officer..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Mu felt a huge force coming towards him. Li Mu actually pressed his palm on his chest and pushed him into the ancestral hall again!
Li Mu's pupils shrank and the door in front of him was quickly closed!
He slammed the door violently and shouted angrily: "Ren Wudao! What do you mean? Let me out now!"

However, not only could the door not be opened, but the movement outside also completely disappeared.

Ren Wudao sealed the door from the outside in some way...

Li Mu felt a chill on the back of his head, and he didn't dare to look back.

At the same time, he was angry but also full of doubts and puzzles. Ren Wudao was a newcomer who had just entered Wu Ji. He had no grudges against him in the past or present, so why did he want to harm him?
Was it for his sister Yu Sheng? But he had never harmed Yu Sheng and had even used his life to warn her once.

Why did Ren Wudao do this?
I can’t figure it out…

But at this moment, Li Mu didn't need to figure it out. The "swish" sound behind the door slowly approached, and a huge shadow was cast on the wooden door in front of him.

Through the shadow, he saw... an unusually tall creature standing behind him...

There is no escape.

Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief instead.

He touched his trouser pocket, a trace of helplessness appearing on his face.

I actually forgot to bring cigarettes.

Well, even if I die, you have to let me see what you really are!
Li Mu turned around suddenly, but what hit him was a dense mass of long hair...
