Chapter 21 Chapter 19 Phantom of the Dunes

Li Cuo was lying in the tent, which was made of space fabric. After zipping it up, the cold outside had almost nothing to do with the inside. The soldiers who participated in this operation all lived in Datong tents, and the members of the expedition team obviously lived more carefully. Every two people lived in a double tent, which could maintain a little privacy and allow people to rest better. Li Cu lived in the same tent with Wang Meng. After Li Cu went in, he and Wang Meng sat on the sleeping bag staring at each other, not knowing what to say.Li Cu thought in his mind that he was the one who attacked Liang Wan before, and it was Liang Wan who beat him to the ground afterwards.Although he was there at the time, this incident should be the grudge between Liang Wan and him, so he wouldn't be here to take revenge.Moreover, Wang Meng's personality is also very strange. There is really nothing wrong with him on the surface, but his whole body reveals an extremely abnormal aura.

This is an indescribable feeling. Although I can feel that he is not stupid at all and his efficiency is not low in the specific contacts during this period of time, Li Cu always feels that Wang Meng is often better than normal people. Slow down. Seeing Li Cu looking at him, Wang Meng didn't react at all, and looked back at Li Cu with a particularly speechless expression that made people want to kick him away. He didn't move extra, Li Cu suddenly understood. No matter how well-trained a person is, in a state of rest without a specific purpose, there will always be some inadvertent habitual small movements.These small movements flow into larger ones, giving the person an extraordinary sense of continuity.

But Wang Meng is not. When he has nothing to do, he hardly moves, which gives people a very sluggish feeling. "You..." Li Cu wanted to know why this person was like this, so he wanted to find a topic to chat with him. "I'm just a part-time worker, just to make ends meet. Don't take offense," Wang Meng said. Li Cu knew that Wang Meng was referring to the attack on him before, so he smiled and said: "It's okay, I'm in the rivers and lakes, I can't..." Before he finished speaking, Wang Meng had already turned around and turned off the light on his side, and then lay down in his sleeping bag and fell asleep.

"... by yourself." Li Cu said helplessly, laughing secretly in his heart: weirdo, all weirdo, fucking weirdo. "If you work as a salesperson in a store where the boss is never there, there is only one person from opening to closing, and sometimes no one steps in for a year, you will also learn to turn off your power when there is no business. Become a weirdo, so that you can get through the long days of being cut by a knife." Wang Meng said in his sleeping bag. "Have you ever worked in that kind of shop?" "It's been more than ten years. At the worst time, I sat behind the counter and didn't even want to play the minesweeper game on the computer. I just sat there, and then fell asleep like that. When I woke up, I found out that it was already noon the next day. So I kept doing nothing and continued to move.”

"Wow, so you won't sprout, or find yourself rooting your feet someday?" "I had that dream." Wang Meng said. Li Cu wanted to laugh wildly in an instant, but he tried his best not to laugh. After he calmed down, he continued to ask: "What happened next?" Wang Meng didn't answer him again. A few minutes later, there were bursts of snoring from Wang Meng's side. Li Cu thought that Wang Meng's psychological quality was really good. If he had such an experience, he would definitely not be able to fall asleep just touching the pillow. But it might not be so if I think about it again. If I live that kind of extremely boring life, then sleeping may become a way to escape reality.Or, that kind of simple day will wash away all your distracting thoughts and wash them clean.

He lay down in his sleeping bag, put his head in his hands, looked at the top of the tent, realized that it was impossible for him to fall asleep, and sorted out everything that had happened so far. The boss named Wu Xie is a hidden modern tomb robber. In addition to tomb robbers, he also has the identity of photographer and freelance writer.Because of these identities, he met a woman named Lan Ting. This woman told him that Gu Tong Jing had a mysterious power that could make people unable to form images on photos. From the photos Lan Ting gave him, he found that The remains of an ancient tomb.

So this Wu Xie began to investigate this matter, and found that this matter was related to other things he had experienced, and the results of his investigation are now engraved on his back. Because I passed by that place by chance, I was involved, and I was involved very innocently. No, he doesn't know the key information.He sighed, thinking that Wu Xie must have only talked superficially, and he would not tell him the real key part. "An explanation is better than no explanation." Wu Xie seemed to have said this to him.Could it be implying to him that knowing a little is enough, don't chase after him?

He didn't bother to know. Li Cu picked up his camera, thinking that when he was taking pictures of the scenery, he seemed to have captured something strange.Bored, he started flipping through the photos he took. Flipping one by one in the camera for a while, Li Cu soon also fell asleep.In the small viewfinder, everything is blurry.He flipped and looked, and finally found those photos.He slowed down and took a closer look. He felt that the problematic things should be in those few photos. Suddenly, he sat up, and he finally found the photo in question. It is true that something was photographed, and the feeling at that moment was not an illusion near that sand dune.Li Cu saw a shadow appearing on the sand dunes in that photo.

This is not an illusion caused by light and shadow, but an indescribable thing that really appeared on the sand dune. Yes, that is a shadow. Li Cu zoomed in on the photo until the entire shadow filled the viewfinder frame, and then stared at the shadow for a long time before realizing that it was the outline of a human figure. Li Cu took a deep breath, looked carefully again for a long time, and finally, he came to a conclusion. Judging from all the details of the silhouette of the shadow, it should be a woman lying on the sand dune.This woman appeared in that place the moment he took the photo. For some unknown reason, the camera did not capture her real appearance, only a blurred outline.However, he clearly remembered that when he put down the camera and looked at that place with his naked eyes, there was nothing at all.

During the whole process, at most half a second, he didn't see any sand blowing, nor did he see any traces of people just moving on the dunes over there. All he saw was a particularly quiet dune. Suddenly, a chill came out of Li Cu's bones, as if the temperature outside the tent had finally penetrated into the tent. He quickly put on his clothes and crawled towards Wu Xie's tent.It was a big discovery, he didn't know what it meant, but he absolutely had to show this man. Wu Xie was still reading in the tent. His tent was for one person, very clean and of good quality.It seems to be VIP-level treatment.Li Cuo patted the zipper door of the tent and shouted: "Boss, boss."

Wu Xie unzipped the zipper and frowned: "Don't take a good rest, why are you barking?" Li Cu immediately showed him the photo, Wu Xie was a little confused at first, narrowed his eyes and looked carefully, then immediately shook his head to Li Cu: "Come in." When Li Cuomao entered the tent, Wu Xie immediately took out his computer, copied the photo to the computer, and then enlarged it. A blurry figure became very obvious. Although there were no details and it was blurry, some facial features and clothing information could still be seen. Wu Xie obviously took a deep breath, and murmured: "It's her..." "You know her?" Li Cu was surprised, and said to himself: Damn, who the hell are you? You know every ghost I photographed in the desert. Wu Xie put on her clothes and said to him, "Go, take me to the place where you took this photo." They hurried out and walked to the sand dune where Li Cuo took pictures before.Li Cuo pointed out the direction to Wu Xie, and Wu Xie walked around the area several times, but found nothing.It was cold in the desert at night, so they had to go back. "Are we looking for this female ghost?" Li Cuo asked. Wu Xie shook his head, only gestured to go back, and said to Li Cu: "Don't tell anyone about this." Li Cu found that his sense of anxiety became more obvious.
