Chapter 148 The Sound of Dripping Water ([-]th update today, [-]nd update)

Han Yi roughly understood that, although the boss was not to blame for this matter, he felt very self-blame, thinking that these people's going to Zhiyun Village had something to do with him.

However, Han Yi understood why he appeared here. The police probably couldn't solve it, so he dispatched his so-called "superpower" to investigate the whole story of the case.

"Boss, did any weird things happen in this cloud village before this?" The cutter asked curiously, taking the hot noodles from the serving.

Hearing the Cutter's question, the boss couldn't help but think of the topic that some young people from Zhiyun Village talked about when they were eating in his restaurant.

"I've heard that a strange thing happened in their village recently, which seems to be related to a well."

The Cutter who wanted to keep moving his chopsticks stopped suddenly, his curiosity was instantly aroused.

"I heard that the well was the lifeblood of this village a long time ago, but now the living conditions are different, and tap water is connected. The well has been abandoned, but a strange thing seems to have happened recently. There was black smoke for a while, which frightened them at first, but they couldn’t find out the reason, and eventually they got used to it, and they didn’t take it seriously after that.”

Hearing this, Han Yi's heart moved. After all, this incident happened before the change in Zhiyun Village, and it might really have something to do with the unexplained disappearance of people.

"That's all I can tell you. Don't be killed by your curiosity. That place is no joke now."

The boss saw that the cutter on the side looked ready to move, so he couldn't help persuading him again.

"Ha! Boss, don't worry, we will definitely not go, we love to cherish our own lives!"

The Cutter said cheerfully, as if you were relieved.

"Then boss, how should we go to Zhiyun Village?"

Looking at the cutter who promised not to go, the boss just breathed a sigh of relief, then his eyes widened, and then he looked at the cutter angrily and said:

"Didn't you promise not to go?"

The cutter chuckled: "Boss, we're just asking, we're definitely not going."

"No. I won't tell you. You are making fun of your own life. I absolutely disagree." The boss said righteously, obviously confirming that these two people are dead men who want to go on an adventure.

Seeing the boss with a resolute expression, the Cutter also widened his eyes. He glanced at Han Yi, as if asking him if he wanted to use violence. Although he also knew that the boss was doing it for their own good, they would die even more if he didn't do the main task. Hurry up.

"Boss, let me tell you the truth. We were specially sent to investigate Zhiyun Village. You have seen my strength. This is our task. I hope the boss can make it easier."

The boss was stunned for a moment, and then immediately shook his head: "Don't think that I'm easy to deceive when I'm old. You are good at skills, but maybe you're just a mortal body, and you won't be able to come back after you go."

Seeing the resolute boss, the Cutter wanted to attack on the spot, but was pushed back by Han Yi. Then Han Yi stood up, clenched his fists, and slammed it to the ground. With a loud noise, except for the Cutter, Everyone else froze in place.

I saw a fist mark of an inch on the ground, and the ground around the fist mark was broken like a spider web, which looked very shocking.

"Boss, are you okay?"

The boss nodded dully, apparently still not recovering from the blow just now.

"Boss, we rushed there because we are confident that we can come back safely. We will not risk our lives, so don't worry."

The boss glanced at the fist marks on the ground again, then turned his gaze to Han Yi, and nodded with a tangled expression:
"Hey~ well, I hope you can come back safely."

"This cloud village is at the foot of the mountain. You only need to walk about 5 kilometers along the barren road, then cross a high slope, and walk through a small forest. It’s a trail, it’s easy to recognize”

"Actually, if you don't ask me, you can find Zhiyun Village as long as you walk along the barren road."

The cutter smiled slightly: "Thank you boss~ I have to trouble you tonight."

The boss shook his head helplessly: "Accommodation is a trivial matter, anyway, there are spare rooms."

Then the two ate some more hastily, and after filling their stomachs, they followed the boss upstairs, arranged a room for each of them, and went to sleep.

late at night
"Tick tock ~ tick tock ~ tick tock"

The sound of water droplets falling on the ground woke Han Yi up from his sleep. He thought it was just that the boss might have forgotten to turn off the water source.

However, this sound seemed to be getting louder and louder, which made him vigilant, and then he began to listen carefully.

"Tick tock ~ tick tock ~ tick tock"

The sound is very loud, but the water flow does not change, because the change of water flow will affect the frequency of dripping, which can still be heard.

Suddenly, a footstep appeared at the stairs, and this footstep was constantly approaching the room where Han Yi was.

This made Han Yi feel that something was wrong, he immediately dodged behind the door, ready to attack violently at any time.

"Squeak~"

There was a crisp sound from the wooden door, and a black figure slowly poked its head in, as if observing the situation inside.

"Hey!"

After seeing clearly who this person was, Han Yi, who was hiding behind the door, said angrily.

"what!"

The cutter couldn't help but let out an exclamation. He just wanted to see if Han Yi was asleep, but he just stuck his head in.

A voice came from the back of his head, which almost startled him. If he hadn't realized that it was Han Yi, he would have swung a stab with his backhand.

"What are you doing here at night!"

The cutter turned on the incandescent lamp in the room, and then sat down on Han Yi's bed: "Didn't you hear the sound of dripping water?"

Han Yi frowned: "What's the reason?"

"I just went down to look and searched everywhere. When I was in the room, I felt that the sound was coming from downstairs, but when I went downstairs, I felt that the sound was coming from upstairs.

I walked back and forth like this twice, and finally felt that something was wrong. This sound seemed to be everywhere. "

"Then I wanted to come to you, but I was almost taken aback by you bastard," said the cutter with resentment in his eyes.

"By the way, can the two of us hear it? It stands to reason that the boss and the others should have been woken up by the sound of water drops, didn't they hear it?"

The cutter shook his head: "I don't know, maybe they are not as sensitive as us. When they wake up, they just think there is a water leak, maybe they don't care."

Han Yi nodded: "Perhaps it's really just a water leak somewhere. Maybe a pipe in the restaurant was bitten by a mouse. Ask the boss tomorrow and go back to sleep."

The Cutter yawned. He was busy with the last mission and hadn't rested yet. Besides, his stamina is his weakest point. Hearing what Han Yi said, he finally nodded and went back to the room.

After the Cutter left, Han Yi also turned off the lights in the room, and then lay back on the bed, listening to the sound of water droplets with a very stable frequency, he had an inexplicable bad feeling.

But he just hoped that it was an illusion, and then closed his eyes again, but this time he didn't dare to enter deep sleep again, he had to keep a little vigilance.

But soon he felt that something was wrong, he was still awakened by the water droplets, this time it was not the sound, but the real water droplets fell on his face.
