Chapter 14 Chapter 12 Wu Xie's Story (4)

Back home, Wu Xie thought about the whole thing again, and always felt that it was very inappropriate. He remembered the materials he had searched for to go to Badain Jaran. Among those materials, only a French photography magazine published a photo of Gutongjing in a certain issue in 1998. It was a low-lying desert with scattered rocks and mountains. There is nothing scary about it.However, in the accompanying text of the photo, the mention of Gutongjing gives people a particularly strange feeling.There is a word in French that is very appropriate to describe that feeling, but it is difficult to find the corresponding word when translated into Chinese. It probably means that in that place, your thinking will feel something that you can’t normally feel.Horrifyingly, the photographer who took this photo committed suicide three years later.Of course, suicides by photographers are as common in the industry as suicides by poets, and there is no reason to tie this matter up with the rumors of Gutong Jing.

Wu Xie's life experience in the past thirty years told him that such things are usually pranks, so he decided that this thing was fake.But he didn't seem to be teasing Lan Ting's expression. The most likely situation was that her mental state was abnormal. This is not the first time he has encountered this kind of thing. Wu Xie has a friend who is an example. He wrote novels about the "Cultural Revolution" and later suffered from depression. Writing novels can easily make people crazy. Wu Xie wanted to call the publisher to tell him about it, after all, he was the one with vested interests, but after thinking about it, he promised Lan Ting not to tell anyone else about it, so he put down the phone.But after thinking about it, he was still worried.

He must let the people around her pay attention to this matter. This person should have a good relationship with her and be able to care about her, and Lan Ting won't feel embarrassed if he knows this secret.However, he is not familiar with Lan Ting, who should he turn to? Wu Xie remembered Dao Dao. As the heroine of Lan Ting's bizarre story, she is not only Lan Ting's friend, but also they were colleagues on that desert trip, which is very suitable. The reason why Wu Xie could recognize her in the photo was because she was also a famous illustrator, so it was not difficult to find her.So, Wu Xie went to his friend to ask for a phone number.

But when he asked his friend about the name, his friend returned a silence. "What do you want her for?" His friend asked him hesitantly, "I deleted her number a week ago." Wu Xie had no choice but to briefly explain the ins and outs of the matter, and his friend sighed: "Old Guan, do you really not know or pretend you don't know? It's best not to joke about such things." "What's wrong?" Wu Xie suddenly realized something was wrong. "She killed herself, just a week ago." "Suicide?" "Suicide, a week ago at her apartment, I thought you usually watch the news."

Wu Xie was dumb, hearing the other party's voice didn't sound like a joke at all.He realized it was true. "There are many different people in the world, and their reactions to things are very different. He doesn't know if other people can accept this kind of thing, but he himself is absolutely unacceptable. Since this thing really happened, then he It can’t be regarded as non-existent." Wu Xie looked at Li Cu and said, "So, I searched the news on the Internet. She really committed suicide in her apartment, and the news is overwhelming. In the news photos, there is a wall of the room where she committed suicide. It is full of photos, and those make me very concerned. I also searched for some things in Gutongjing, but there is no information similar to this incident. There is only one incident about the camera not being able to capture portraits, but that is The camera is broken."

"What happened to Lan Ting?" Li Cu listened intently. Wu Xie sighed: "Originally I wanted to ask her to chat again, but she booked a plane ticket that night and left early the next morning. Later I heard that she went to Inner Mongolia for two weeks and committed suicide after returning gone." Li Cu swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "This is too evil. Could it be that she couldn't be photographed in the photo after she went there, and then she committed suicide like Dao Dao?" He looked at Wu Xie and found that his face was solemn, and felt That expression didn't look like it was faked.Did he feel guilty because of Lan Ting's suicide?

"If this is the only reason, someone like Lan Ting who can resolutely go into the desert to find the truth would not be able to commit suicide easily, so I speculate that she may have encountered something more terrifying. Originally, I wanted to bring a camera to confirm Let me know, but I didn’t see her body at her funeral, so I have no way of knowing whether she is the same as Diao. But she explained in her will before she died, and the trustee gave me a lot of photos, from Gutongjing Photos taken back. In those photos, there is a strange thing." As she spoke, Wu Xie took out a photo and handed it to Li Cu.

Li Cu looked down, the pain in his back seemed to be gone, and he saw that it was a huge rock alone in the desert. "This is a rock." He remembered that in Wu Xie's story, Lan Ting mentioned that Dao Dao once climbed a rock in Gutongjing. "You think the same as I do. This should be the stone mentioned by Lan Ting. She must have looked for it when she went back." Wu Xie sighed, "I should go with her, if I go with her , I will never let her climb this rock." "Why, do you know what kind of stone this is?" "This is not a stone." Wu Xie said, "It is the remains of the ground part of a large ancient tomb. Moreover, it should not be an ordinary tomb, but a rare one in the world, probably the only one of this type in the world. tomb."

Wu Xie hesitated to speak, apparently he didn't explain everything clearly, but Li Cu didn't dare to ask, what kind of tomb is this type of tomb?He watched Wu Xie suddenly start cleaning the table, and asked him, "Do you want to know more details?" Li Cu nodded, and Wu Xie said, "I'm very curious about this mausoleum, so I researched some historical materials over there, and found some very strange coincidences, come and see."
