The witch moon

1. Missing

　　In 2013, 10 tourists went missing from Cai Feng Town, and the police searched for half a year, but found nothing.

　　I put the old newspaper describing the past into my bag, the car lurched, and the driver in front of me said loudly, "Girl, look, the town of Cai Feng is ahead."

　　I dragged my luggage and found a hostel, paid the money, and the owner looked at me: "A tourist?"

　　I casually answered, took the keys and ready to go, he said in the back: "Little girl, the town can be very chaotic now, do not go out at night ah!" I turned around at the sound of the voice, his dark pupils with a smile, there is a deeper meaning.

　　In the middle of the night, there was a knock at the door. I couldn't sleep, so when I heard the sound, I sat up alertly and shouted, "Who is it?"

　　There was no answer, and the "knock" disappeared. I walked over suspiciously and found a note stuffed at the bottom of the door, picked it up and spread it out, with a scribbled handwriting: Go, don't stay in this store if you want to live!

　　I frowned, quickly touching the gun pinned to the waist, open the door, probe around, the dark and quiet corridor, there is nothing.

　　When I woke up the next day, Li sent a message: Sister Shen, I have found the person who knows what happened back then, come quickly.

　　Here is an address.

　　I packed up and went out.

　　Zhao old man scavenging for a living, home in the town of Cai Feng upstream of the river, a simple bungalow, he lives alone.

　　Xiao Li gave us an introduction, then familiar to pour water, Zhao Lao Han had prepared, invited me to sit down and then said: "the year, the good thing is that I, an old man remember clearly, can give you a specific, although I took your money, not good to ask for anything more, but in any case, this is also considered the secret of our town, I hope you can try not to tell the public. "

　　I nodded and agreed: "Please speak."

　　He then slowly said: "You should know that before 2013, our town's tourism industry is not operating well, there are almost no visitors to play, everyone is fed up with the poor days, they go to the back of the deserted mountain behind the cave of the gods to pray for more visitors to the town."

　　I do not understand: "What god cave?"

　　"This is said to be mysterious, according to the old generation said it is the dwelling place of the god of the mountain. Inside is particularly large, I also went to see when I was a child, inside are naturally occurring stone tables and chairs, the development zone at the time also used the cave as a tourist attraction, but after all, not too grand, not much tourist interest, and then only we locals will occasionally go to pray."

　　I gestured for him to continue.

　　"Do not want to, prayed to the time in 2013, not only tourists did not come, the moon in the sky also turned green, everyone felt less auspicious, saying that this is the witch moon."

　　"I know about this, because at that time only in the town of Cai Feng to see the moon is green, anywhere else is normal, this is too strange, so at that time a large number of tourists came here to see fresh." I looked at him and said.

　　"Yes, I did not expect to be blessed by the disaster, when everyone thought it was a prayer fulfilled, have thanked that god cave, but I did not expect ...... then something happened." Zhao Lao Han sighed, "that batch of tourists to see the moon overnight actually disappeared 10. Immediately after, the color of the moon changed back to normal, because the missing 10 people are women, the town said, must be the witch moon sucked their yin and took people away."

　　I wondered, "After that, the witch moon has never reappeared?"

　　"Well, but because of the kind of thing that happened to the town, even without the witch moon, many female tourists are afraid to come." He glanced at my face and whispered, "You have to be careful."

　　2. woman

　　When I returned to the hostel, a woman was cleaning her room with her back to me, and I was startled when she turned around.

　　The face was interspersed with ugly scars that at first glance were horrific. She turned around and saw me and hastily bent down and said, "It's cleaned, I'll be right out."

　　As I watched her leave, I always felt that she wanted to look back at me, but did not dare.

　　I took out the piece of paper and looked at it. Although the handwriting was scribbled, the faintly elegant penmanship could not be hidden. Could it be her?

　　I rushed out to catch up with the woman, and when I reached the counter, I was about to go up to her, but found that opposite her stood the owner of the place.

　　The boss angrily pointed at her and cursed: "You're a dilettante! How dare you take money from other stores behind my back and pull my customers to screw me! Do you believe me to beat you to death!"

　　Next, there was the sound of the woman admitting her fault and crying. I sighed, squeezed the paper in my pocket and returned to my room in disappointment.

　　The woman was kicked out by the boss for writing a letter encouraging the guest to stay at another hotel.

　　A small fuss was over.

　　Night mosquitoes, the room's bedside with a box of mosquito incense, I lit a piece, smell not quite right, but can not say exactly how it feels.

　　That night, how I did not expect to hear once again "knock, knock" on the door.

The Green Moon

　　3. Kidnapping

　　No matter how loudly I asked, the spellbinding knocking never stopped, but became more and more violent, as if the next moment, the door would break in.

　　I wiped the cold sweat from my forehead, slowly pulled out my gun, and was about to approach the door when a loud noise suddenly came from outside the hostel, and the knocking came to a screeching halt. After two minutes, the corridor then sounded footsteps, as if someone was asking about the situation outside.

　　I immediately pushed open the door, see nothing unusual outside the door, so I hid my gun and also went out to see the situation.

　　When I got out of the hostel, I realized why there was so much commotion outside.

　　The dark night sky, hanging a green moon, four diffuse green light, but some beautiful.

　　Shocked, I frowned at the heart of the clouds of suspicion, only to hear someone next to say: "Witch moon out again, I do not know how many people this time to take away ah!"

　　The phone in my pocket suddenly vibrated, I took out a look, it was Xiao Li's phone, just pick up, there is a sharp voice: "Shen sister, the store just disappeared again!"

　　My heart lifted, about to reply, then listened to the sound of footsteps from behind, according to instinct ready to turn around to check, but instantly thought of what Xiao Li just said, if the problem is in this hostel, then and 3 years ago the disappearance of female tourists, there seems to be a subtle point of fit.

　　I hastily turned around and reentered the room before the footsteps approached, and as I closed the door, I caught a glimpse of a dark shadow following me at the end of the hallway out of the corner of my eye. I was being watched.

　　I was thinking of a countermeasure, but suddenly there was a small noise outside the door, and then I heard a man's voice say: "People are inside, when do we do it?"

　　"Early in the morning, now outside to see the witch moon people just returned, accident can not be good."

　　I frowned, and then the voice disappeared.

　　If a normal girl hears these words, she will be scared out of her wits and will immediately run away, but in the end is also so many years of training, I calm down, and then carefully think about this thing is not right.

　　I really want to kill you, will deliberately come to your room before this play, this is not clearly let you run? I did not move to lie on the bed, is very confused, the door was suddenly knocked down, the woman's voice came in during the day.

　　"Sister, sister?"

　　I thought about it, got up and went over to open the door: "What is it?"

　　"Sister, advise you for the last time, there are bad people here, you run quickly!" She looked around nervously.

　　The more nervous she was, the more calm I was in my heart. If the bad guys were really here, how could she come so simply to report?

　　I followed suit and got nervous: "Ah, but where do I run to in the middle of the night?"

　　"Find a place to hide in town! As soon as it's light, we'll leave!"

　　I said thanks, rushed out of the hostel, sent a message to the Bureau, then the phone to mute, quietly put in the clothes of the most inside hide, Xiao Li they will be able to find me by positioning.

　　The surrounding noise fades away, and then there is the cold whoosh of wind. About ran away from the hostel a few dozen meters, I vaguely felt a dangerous breath, and then the head was held, a handkerchief forcefully covered my mouth and nose, I pretended to resist a few times, then passed out.

　　When I woke up, a shaking in all directions, I heard someone shouting in front of me: "Almost there!"

　　I looked up, this is the interior of a van, at this time there are 5 girls inside the same as I was tied up, everyone woke up one by one, but once they saw this scene, they stared and screamed.

　　"Be quiet, draw the attention of those people to more terrible." I said in a stern voice, "Don't worry, for now we are not out of Cai Feng Town."

　　In the slow exchange and trial, I figured out a few things.

　　That mosquito incense is really problematic, I'm afraid that it is added to make people hallucinate drugs, so I will have the illusion of being knocked wildly on the door.

　　The car suddenly stopped, the truck's iron door was opened, a few big men will lift us down. I looked up, surrounded by mountains, deserted, can only see a little light in the distance, and the night sky witch moon is actually still there.

　　Now look carefully, the night sky around the witch moon seems to be lower than the usual night sky I see, as if the real night sky was covered up by people, my heart suddenly understood.

　　The men pushed us toward a faintly lit hole in front of us.

　　I looked and it was the sacred cave of the barren mountain.

　　4. Revealing the secret

　　Not surprisingly, we soon saw people coming out of the cave to greet us. Just inside, I saw a round hole in the wall rock above my head, and what was even more bizarre was that the natural stone inside the cave actually managed to emit a glowing green light in the dark. The last trace of doubt finally dissipated.

　　There were about ten people in the cave, gathered together to discuss extra cautiously, I listened sideways for a while, my heart instantly cooled.

　　At that moment, a girl was pulled up by a low laughing man towards the cave, the girl was so scared that her face went white and kept screaming.

　　I calculate that Xiao Li they should have arrived, fiercely broke free in the car on the untied hemp rope, quickly picked up the gun towards the legs of the two strong men around each sent a bullet, the 5 girls I instructed in the car, and immediately ran away in all directions.

　　The other side has many people but no gun, a moment of shock did not chase over, the girls quickly run outside. A group of people soon emerged from the cave, the leader holding an electric baton, fierce and fierce towards me.

　　I backed up, although I had a gun in my hand, but outnumbered, was thinking about how to hold on for a while longer, then in the distance came the familiar sound of the horn: "Listen inside, you have been surrounded, put down your weapons, hands above your head ......"

　　I was instantly relieved.

　　Half an hour later, the group got into the police car in handcuffs.

　　"So it's a prostitution ring nest." I gritted my teeth, "It really ...... wasn't in vain that we tracked it down for 3 years."

　　"I knew that witch moon eating people this thing is impossible." Little Li said with relief.

　　I shook my head and said, "In fact, according to reason, this witch moon does eat people."

　　In Xiao Li's puzzled eyes, I pointed to the direction of the God Cave: "Before, we have been dwelling on the witch moon weird green, but did not think, this moon itself has no problem."

　　Before that, almost everyone had forgotten that Cai Feng Town, because of its harsh environment, sometimes produced a lot of fog at night to block out the moon in the sky, which was one of the reasons why their tourism industry was not operating well. And the so-called witch moon is just an illusion shrouded in the black fog under the night sky by the luminous stone in the sacred cave through that circular hole, by its own green light.

　　After discovering the secret of the witch moon three years ago, the prostitution gang in Choi Fung Town used it to attract many people to this backward place in Choi Fung Town, and then used other methods to lure the target out of the cooperative hostel and then do it, such as the warning of the disfigured woman, the drug in the mosquito incense, and the deliberately scary conversation outside the door. Because there are cameras in the hostel, even if the police later investigated, all the people in the video are leaving the hostel by themselves, missing is also missing outside, it looks like they have nothing to do with them.

　　And those women they abducted, some were sold to remote mountainous areas to people as daughters-in-law, some were sent around the city forced into prostitution, and some were even killed because they resisted too much ......

　　I went with Li and others to the hostel when the boss and several people have been pushed into the police car, including the disfigured "good" woman.

　　I raised my head, the witching moon faintly began to recede, I suddenly remembered the loved ones lost here 3 years ago, actually so by this group of people with nasty means ruined life.
