"Have you heard the story Lina told later?" I asked the thin man.

"I seem to have heard of the Plague Town." The thin man replied.

The three of us walked towards the fountain. The road was empty, and we could hear the lively cheers and singing in front of us.

"What kind of story?" I asked.

The thin man looked at me, "Brother Qi, do you want me to...use my ability again? But, it seems... failed..."

The thin man is very distressed. It can be said that it is his ability that has put us in the current dangerous situation. The content of the story has changed, and no one knows whether we can solve the ghost smoothly or whether we can go back smoothly.

The thin man didn't know that the past and reality had also changed.

I suspect that the abilities of the thin man were disrupted by this change. There was no problem with the abilities of the thin man itself. It was originally supposed to be based on the story in his consciousness that the abandoned toy was born with spirits and retaliated against the vicious events of society. As long as we find Lina's new house here, find that doll toy, and eliminate it, we can end everything.

It is much easier to find a toy in a small town than to find a toy around the world. Toy people may hinder us, and the ghost king who travels through the future world will also disrupt our plans, but overall, it is something that can be dealt with.

Now, things have changed.

What Chen Xiaoqiu is concerned about is that at most the carrier of the ghost possession has two possibilities: the doll is fake and the corpse is real. What I am worried about is our current position, and we have to face the trouble of a ghost king. The ghost kings in the future world are all ghosts who have lived for many years, rational, calm, and able to skillfully use their yin energy and special abilities. They are not as easy to deal with as ordinary ghosts.

If the thin man can add a layer of restrictions to the ghost king and artificially create a weakness, our chances of winning will be guaranteed.

When the thin man saw that I insisted, he stopped and started thinking.

Fatty and I didn't urge him. They wouldn't doubt my motivation for proposing this. If Chen Xiaoqiu was here, I might have thought too much. I was always cautious in front of Chen Xiaoqiu, for fear that she would guess the past changes and that my memories would be cleaned.

A minute or two later, the thin man's eyes lit up. This was not an act, he really thought of something.

"Plague town! Yes, there is a plague town! It was a long time ago, and a long time ago, the church insisted that there were devils in this world. Plagues were also regarded as devils! Then those who suffered from plagues would be executed. There seemed to be such a town. The priest of the local church said there was a devil. No, right..." The thin man frowned and racked his brains to think, "It was a murder case first, and the body was thrown in the church. The priest said there was a devil. Then the whole town began to look for the devil."

My heartbeats faster. The beginning of this story seems to be somewhat similar to the scenes I have seen.

"The priest executed some suspicious people, and then, some people were still killed and the bodies were thrown in the church. Later people inferred that a serial killer might have appeared in the town. People at that time did not doubt that. The corpse treatment plan was also problematic, and the sanitation was not good, so a plague occurred. They believed that the devil was at work, and the church had been contaminated by the corpses. Later, it should be... to invite people to do rituals. Cathedrals in other cities sent people to do something in that church... They began to search for the devil again, and some people were executed in the church. Before and after, more than a hundred people were executed. The plague was finally not curbed. The town was abandoned and burned completely. Most of the people in the town were burned to death."

When the thin man said this, he paused and looked dazed, "That story has a ghost story version. One version means that the church has become a gathering place of resentful spirits, and the fire cannot burn it. It has always stood. Later, it became a supernatural place. It is usually called a mysterious abandoned church. It is often found in the ranking of some supernatural places on the Internet. It is an unrecorded church. There is no church in the local historical records and church records. I don't know who built it. The things inside are well preserved except for the decay, and there are no other buildings around. Some people saw ghosts there, heard crying and screaming."

This doesn't sound like the Morris Town Church I've seen.

The thin man became serious, "Another ghost story is the story of a survivor, and she is also a real devil. After the town was burned, a girl survived and was adopted by nearby farmers. Later, there would be serial murders where the girl stayed, and plagues would occur. This could not be verified. Some historical records that someone found, namely the death records and plague records of that area. A serial murderer was wandering there and committing crimes, which is a more reasonable explanation. But in the circulating ghost stories, the girl was always alive and was the body chosen by the devil. And... "

After saying this long paragraph, the thin man exhaled, "Someone has really studied the history of that area, which is what I just said, death records, etc. The towns that have problems all have a characteristic, that is, there are water sources connected to each other in the towns. It may be a disease transmitted by water, or the serial killer may be taking the water route to various cities. The ghost story says that the plague devil survives by water and cannot burn it to death because of the water source."

"So, fire can burn it to death, just cut off the water source in advance?" asked the fat man.

The thin man nodded vigorously.

"That ghost is in the fountain right now? It's because we're afraid that we'll set fire to the entire town." said the thin man.

This statement is a bit far-fetched, but the thin man clenched his fists and looked serious. He should have brainwashed himself successfully and believed that fire could burn that ghost to death.

"What should I do? It has already reached the fountain. Pull it away and then we set the fire again?" asked the fat man.

"All those toy people are holding candles? There is a source of fire." said the thin man.

I flew over the sky, looked at the terrain, and pointed them into a dead end to facilitate arson.

The thin man and the fat man will go there to make arrangements, and I will deal with the ghost head-on. If I can destroy it directly, this reserve plan will not be needed. But if I lose, I will lead the ghost to a dead end and set a fire, and maybe I can completely solve the ghost.

I don’t have much confidence in this reserve plan in my heart. But Skinny seems that he didn’t expect other ghost stories to be tied to this matter. He relies entirely on making up a story by himself, and Skinny’s ability probably can’t do this.

In this case, it depends on whether I can catch the ghost king.

I feel a little regretful.

The success rate has not been improved, but it has not been reduced to the point where people are desperate.

Separated from them, I floated to the toy man's head alone.

Amid the blazing fire and noise, I saw the fountain sculpture.

I read it correctly before. The sculpture is a child standing on a high platform, a little girl, and looks very similar to Lina. The ghost floating beside the sculpture is a rag doll shape.

The doll noticed me immediately, turned around, faced me, raised his hand, and the noisy crowd immediately calmed down.
