Chapter 224 Transparency
Bai Yanliang and others quickly followed and saw the village in the valley.
What a quiet village...
The first time they saw it, this word flashed in everyone's mind.
Quiet...
Or...silence.
"What about the old man?"
Lu Guo asked.
No one answered him, and there was an almost visible uneasiness coming from the village in front of him, which made people not want to go in from the bottom of their hearts.
But... this is Wuji, this is a mission. If you go, you still have a chance of survival. If you don't go, you will die immediately.
The surroundings were eerily silent, and the wind in the mountains was blowing everyone's hair and clothes.
But Bai Yanliang discovered that except for the five of them, the surrounding vegetation, branches and leaves were completely motionless.
It's like... there are only five of them alive here.
Lao Litou is gone, but his mission is accomplished.
This should be Zhongyuan Village.
Even if the five people no longer wanted to go in, they had to go in.
Yu Wenxuan was the first to step into the valley. The moment he entered the valley, Bai Yanliang found that the signal on his mobile phone suddenly disappeared.
Jiang Li also shivered. She always felt that this mountain valley was very different from the outside.
The village lying quietly in front is as scary as a huge black hole that eats people.
And... I don't know if it was his own psychological effect. Jiang Li felt that he had just taken a step forward, but the sunshine that was still bright just now suddenly became darker, and there were a lot more old trees and dead grass around him.
Jiang Li walked in the middle of the five people. Whether counting from front to back or from back to front, he was the third.
Logically speaking, this should be considered a very safe position, but Jiang Li felt that his heart was compressed tightly.
Breathing is also a bit out of breath.
She looked up through the branches of the dead tree. It was not an illusion... the sky had indeed become much shorter.
It was probably going to rain, and low dark clouds were like an airtight black cloth covering the heads of the five people.
"Be careful, we're almost there." Lu Guo reminded.
He was also very uneasy in his heart. This uneasiness was more obvious than any previous mission.
Lu Guo took a deep breath and suppressed the strange emotions in his heart.
After walking for another ten minutes, Bai Yanliang and the other five finally arrived in front of the village.
Who would have thought that there is actually a village in such a remote mountain valley?
The buildings in the village are very old. There is not a single two-story building. They are all low-rise old wooden houses.
Under the gloomy sky, it looked dilapidated and desolate.
However... what attracts everyone's attention the most is not the environment of the village, but the bright red things hanging under the eaves of every house.
Although they haven't entered the village yet, the scene in front of them already gave them goosebumps.
"What are those hanging under the eaves?"
Jiang Li asked with dry lips.
"The clothes, judging from the style, should be a classical wedding dress."
Lu Guo replied.
"No." Xu Zhifei suddenly said, his voice as cold as ever, "It's the shroud."
Following her words, everyone once again looked carefully at the clothes hanging under the eaves of every house. Although they were bright red, the circle in the center of the clothes... seemed to actually have the word "longevity" written on them.
Pieces of blood-red shrouds were swinging under the eaves, like people hanging from the eaves, staring at Bai Yanliang and the other five.
"Damn, I really don't want to go in..."
Lu Guo swallowed, his uneasiness becoming more and more obvious.
"How about... let's take a walk around the village first? It's not dark yet and the prescribed time hasn't come yet, so there's no need to go in so early..."
Lu Guo looked at the four people and asked for their opinions.
His own attitude was already obvious, he would not go in until the mission officially started. "I agree."
Jiang Li immediately raised his hand.
A second is worth staying in such a weird village. Anyway, the mission has not started yet. If something unexpected happens in the village, there will really be no place to cry.
But Yu Wenxuan obviously didn't think so. He glanced at Jiang Li and Lu Guo and said:
"It's up to you. I personally think now is a good opportunity to find clues to survival."
"Did you find anything?" Lu Guo hesitated again.
Yu Wenxuan nodded and narrowed his eyes slightly, "Although this village is old and dilapidated, it seems that there are people living there for a long time. I think that even if there is a ghost here, the villagers living here should have been found. There are some ways to ensure your own safety. Otherwise... this village would have become a truly deserted village. How could there be anyone here?"
Would you like to ask the villagers how to prevent ghosts...
Lu Guo lowered his head and thought after hearing this.
I have to say that what Yu Wenxuan said makes sense. Since there are still people living in this village, it at least proves that the ghosts in the village cannot kill people without restraint.
The villagers who are still alive today probably hold the key.
Maybe hanging a shroud in front of the door would be a solution...
"It would be nice if the old man named Li was still here, but it's a pity that he ran away." Lu Guo said regretfully.
Bai Yanliang looked at him and said, "Do you think he is a human being?"
Lu Guo was startled. Not only him, but the others also looked at Bai Yanliang.
Could it be that... Bai Yanliang thinks that Old Li Tou is a ghost?
Bai Yanliang turned around, looked at the river flowing by the village, and said, "Why is there no body of his?"
As soon as this question came out, everyone immediately realized something was wrong.
That's right... Why is there no body of Old Li Tou among the several corpses floating down from the upper reaches?
Is it because he is not a member of Wuji?
No... no, if it was really a ghost, it wouldn't care at all about the identity of the person in front of it.
The only explanation is that there is no body of Old Li Tou at all.
In other words, Lao Li Tou himself is a dead man.
"Let's just split up..." Lu Guo still made up his mind to enter the village now, "Jiang Li and I will go around the outside of the village first. If you are willing to go in first, you can go in and feel it out."
Bai Yanliang didn't answer Lu Guo's suggestion. He lowered his head, thinking about something, and his expression was a bit unpredictable.
"Mr. Bai, what do you think?"
Yu Wenxuan stared at Bai Yanliang and asked.
"Go and have a look first."
Bai Yanliang looked up and replied.
"Okay, let's split up like this."
Yu Wenxuan nodded.
At this time, everyone suddenly discovered that after one person started to say a word, there was no movement.
"Where's Miss Xu?"
The four of them looked around, but Xu Zhifei was nowhere to be found.
"She...she won't be in trouble, right?"
Jiang Li leaned among the men, uncontrollable fear crawling out of his heart.
"I'm here."
Suddenly, Xu Zhifei's voice appeared not far from Bai Yanliang.
Four pairs of eyes looked there together.
There is clearly nothing where the sound is coming from!
Xu Zhifei...is invisible?
