Chapter 3 Obtaining Knowledge

  Xiao Mo and others got out of the car one after another, breathing in the fresh air outside, everyone let out a sigh of relief.

  "The air here is so fresh!"

  Li Shuai was moved to speak, after finishing, he hastily ran to one side, as for what he went to do, it can be imagined. Xiao Mo and others also didn't pretend to be reserved, they all went to places with no people, relieving themselves comfortably.

  At that time, Monk Fa was still looking at Xinyan with a YD face, but what made him extremely disappointed was that Xinyan had lost her figure.

  "It's quite quiet here, cleaner than most cities I've been to, with a clear blue sky and those slowly moving clouds."

  The Taoist priest was disappointed, but he didn't forget to sigh and say:

  "It's indeed like this, with much less noise and commotion, but more quietness and comfort."

  As he said this, Xiao Mo inadvertently caught a glimpse of an astonishing scene, and then heard him continue:

  "Master, I said, is it really okay to pee in one's pants?"

  “……!”

  After solving their respective problems, the crowd gathered together again. The city's buildings are not many, and the area doesn't seem to be too large either. The surrounding areas are all mountains and small roads, with a mountain peak looming in the distance.

  Xiao Mo looked around and found that there were very few people here, and the passing vehicles were even fewer. He couldn't help but ask Lao Gao in doubt:

  "This really isn't the real world? It doesn't seem all that different though!"

  Lao Gao also took a glance around and then explained to Xiao Mo:

  "How can I put it, this place actually belongs to the real world, but the supernatural events that occur here don't belong to reality."

  Lao Gao's explanation was vague and unclear, but Zhang Tian added another sentence to clarify it.

  To put it simply, this place is normally a part of the real world, but once paranormal events occur, it will be interfered by paranormal forces and become isolated from reality.

  However, I don't know if it can return to normal after the paranormal event is over."

  Zhang Tianyi's explanation was clear, and Xiao Mo symbolically nodded his head, so he dispelled this doubt. As soon as Xiao Mo finished asking, the rotten monk expressed his doubts again:

  "Are all these people victims of the incident?"

  "You should ask Xinyan about this." Old Gao smiled and pointed to Xinyan, who was standing on the side, then asked her:

  "Do you have a premonition of something?"

  "There are us people who have a premonition inside, and apart from that there is also a young man named Zhang Xiaoxi."

  "Not counting us, there's only one victim?"

  Zhang Tianyi was slightly surprised and asked Xinyan again. Xinyan nodded without hesitation:

  "Indeed it is, what's wrong?"

  Zhang Tianyi's face sank as he pondered for a moment before responding:

  "I'm not sure either, because in the past two cycles, there was no one with precognitive abilities around us. But thinking about it, the number of victims in this incident shouldn't be so small, and I suppose it will increase."

  Everyone nodded in agreement, and then they abandoned the bus and walked to find a restaurant, as anyone was hungry and dizzy. On the way, Li Shuai also asked about how to refuel the bus, and Lao Gao said it's no different from refueling an ordinary car, and didn't say much about it.

  They soon found a restaurant, which was in European style and sold Western food. Xiao Mo didn't like Western food, but now he would eat even a dry bun with relish.

  Everyone ordered a table full of Western food, and the diners nearby were stunned. No one cared about this, and they all started eating hastily.

  Xiao Mo was curious about Xinyan's appearance under the black veil, so his gaze would occasionally drift towards her, but he was disappointed to find that Xinyan even covered her mouth while eating. Xiao Mo dryly laughed to himself and wisely withdrew his gaze, focusing on eating with all his heart.

  At this time, the conversation of several people at the next table caught their attention.

  They were three young men and women who didn't look very old, probably around eighteen or nineteen years old, and at this moment they were discussing a person.

  "It's really too sudden, a good person just said they're gone without any warning signs beforehand."

  "No, I heard that his parents cried bitterly and refused to let her body be autopsied, it's still lying in the hospital room till now."

  "It's okay, fortunately we don't usually get along with her, otherwise it would be a blow too."

  "Yes, it will be a big blow to Lin Dangdang. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been gathered here at the old mountain camp."

  “……”

  Although many people did not understand the reason, they heard one thing: someone had died. And this person died very mysteriously, without any warning signs before death.

  Zhang Tianyi put down his chopsticks, thought for a moment, and walked over with a smile. He then asked the three young men:

  "Excuse me, is the person you're talking about named Zhang Xiaoxi?"

  Three young men were taken aback by his words, and one of them, a short-haired youth, replied somewhat irritably:

  "Do you know me? Or are you intentionally cursing me!"

  The other two young men burst out laughing, Zhang Tian's face revealed a hint of embarrassment, he turned his head to take a glance at Xin Yan who was eating calmly as if nothing had happened, apparently he realized something.

  Then he turned his head around and said with a apologetic face:

  "Sorry, maybe I made a mistake. Can you tell me, what was the name of your deceased friend? And how did he or she pass away?"

  Three young men's eyes turned vigilant towards Zhang Tianyi, and Zhang Xiaoxi asked in a low voice:

  "What's with all these questions? Are you a cop?"

  "Not bad, this is my ID."

  Zhang Tianyi naturally took out a police badge and made a few gestures towards Zhang Xiaoxi and the other two.

  "Now it's your turn to answer my question."

  "The one who passed away is our classmate, her name is Sophie. We're not even clear about the cause of death, heard it was sudden death. By the way, how did you know my name?"

  "What I heard from your conversation just now. And just now, I heard you mention that you want to go camping on the Great Wilderness Mountain, where is that mountain? About how many people will go?"

  "You're not from this town, are you?"

  "It's not really, I'm here on business."

  "What I said is that the Dahuang Mountain is at the southernmost end of the town, as for how many people went camping there, I'm not quite sure because it wasn't organized by us."

  At this point, Zhang Xiaoxi glanced at the time and then exchanged a look with the other two people. Seeing this, they also quickly got up:

  "It's almost time for our appointment, we should go."

  After finishing speaking, Zhang Xiao Xi and the three others left the restaurant, disappearing from everyone's line of sight in the blink of an eye.

  Zhang Tian sat back at the dinner table and asked Xinyan, who was eating quietly:

  "Is that person Zhang Xiaoxi you sensed?"

  "Uh-huh."

  Xin Yan lightly responded with a "yes", without even lifting her head. Zhang Tian looked like he had no way to deal with Xin Yan, so he changed the subject and said:

  "Since there are victims, and they also go camping in the wilderness of Dashan Mountain, it is highly likely that the incident will occur there, and the rest of the victims are among those who camp. After we finish eating, let's go take a look under the guise of camping."

  "Now that we know something might happen there, why are we still going? Isn't this just taking a risk or seeking death?"

  Xiao Mo raised an objection, and Master Zhan also nodded in agreement after hearing it.

  "We need to deduce the type of incident, whether it's an ogre, a ghost or an evil spirit, from the experiences of these people. This is the intelligence we must grasp in this case, if you don't want to take risks I won't force you, it's just...I'm not sure I can give you accurate information."

  As for Zhang Tianyi's threat, Xiao Mo had no choice but to comply, because this man was not as benevolent as Lao Gao, and anything could be done.
