Bai Yanliang and his companions quickly followed and saw the village in the valley.

What a quiet village...

The first time we saw it, this word flashed through everyone's mind.

Quiet……

Or rather... silence.

"What about the old man?"

Lu Guo asked.

No one answered him. The village in front of him exuded an almost visible sense of uneasiness, which made people not want to go in from the bottom of their hearts.

But... this is Wu Ji, this is a mission. If you go, there is still a glimmer of hope. If you don’t go, you will die immediately.

It was eerily quiet all around, and the mountain wind blew everyone's hair and clothes.

But Bai Yanliang discovered that, except for the five of them, the surrounding grass, trees, branches and leaves did not move at all.

It's like... there are only five of them alive here.

Old Li is gone, but his mission is accomplished.

This should be Zhongyuan Village.

Even if the five people didn't want 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 discovered that the signal on his mobile phone suddenly disappeared.

Jiang Li also shuddered. She always felt that this valley was very different from the outside.

The village lying quietly in front was as terrifying as a huge black hole that devoured people.

And... I don’t know if it’s a psychological effect, but Jiang Li felt that he had only taken one step forward, but the bright sunshine just now suddenly became dim, and there were many more old trees and dead grass around.

Jiang Li walked in the center of the five people. No matter whether counting from the front to the back or from the back to the front, he was the third one.

Logically speaking, this should be a very safe position, but Jiang Li felt his heart was being suppressed.

It was a bit difficult to breathe.

She looked up through the gaps between the dead trees. It was not an illusion... the sky had indeed become much lower.

It must be about to rain. The low dark clouds were like an impenetrable black cloth, covering the five people's heads.

"Be careful, we're almost there." Lu Guo reminded.

He was also feeling uneasy in his heart, and this uneasiness was more obvious than in any previous mission.

Lu Guo took a deep breath and forced himself to suppress the strange emotions in his heart.

After walking for another ten minutes, Bai Yanliang and his four companions finally arrived in front of the village.

Who would have thought that there was actually a village in such a remote valley?
The buildings in the village are very old. There is not a single two-story building. They are all low-rise old earthen houses.

Under the gloomy sky, it looked dilapidated and desolate.

However... what attracted everyone's attention the most was not the environment of the village, but the bright red things hanging under the eaves of every household.

Although they hadn't entered the village yet, the scene before them already gave them goose bumps.

"What are those things hanging from the eaves?"

Jiang Li asked with dry lips.

"The dress, judging by the style, should be a classical wedding dress."

Lu Guo replied.

"No." Xu Zhifei suddenly spoke, his voice as cold as ever, "It's a shroud."

Following her words, everyone once again looked carefully at the clothes hanging under the eaves of every household. Although they were bright red, inside the circle in the center of the clothes... it seemed that there was really a word for longevity written on it.

Pieces of blood-red shrouds swayed under the eaves, like people hanging under the eaves, staring at Bai Yanliang and the other four.

"Damn it, I really don't want to go in..."

Lu Guo swallowed, and his uneasiness became more and more obvious.

"How about... let's walk around the village first? It's not dark yet, and the designated time hasn't arrived yet, so there's no need to go in so early..."

Lu Guo looked at the four people, asking for their opinions.

His own attitude was already clear. He would not go in until the mission officially began. "I agree."

Jiang Li raised his hand immediately.

In this weird village, every second you can stay here counts. Anyway, the mission hasn’t started yet. If you run into any accident once you enter the village, you’ll have 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 this is a good opportunity to find some clues to survival."

"Have you found anything?" Lu Guo hesitated again.

Yu Wenxuan nodded, his eyes narrowed slightly, "Although this village is old and shabby, it is obviously inhabited by people for a long time. I think, even if there are ghosts here, the villagers living here should have found some ways to ensure their own safety. Otherwise... this village would have become a real deserted village long ago, how could there still be people here?"

Ask the villagers for advice on how to protect against ghosts...

Upon hearing this, Lu Guo lowered his head in thought.

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 may well hold the key.

Maybe hanging a shroud in front of the door is a solution...

"It would be great if the old man surnamed Li was still alive, 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 stunned, and not only him, but everyone else also looked at Bai Yanliang.

Could it be that... Bai Yanliang thinks Old Li is a ghost?

Bai Yanliang turned around, looked at the river flowing past the village, and said, "Why is there no body of him?"

As soon as this question was asked, everyone immediately realized that something was wrong.

Yes...Why is Old Li’s body not among the several bodies floating down from upstream?

Is it because he is not a member of the Mist Group?

No...no, if it was really done by an evil ghost, it would not care about the identity of the person in front of it.

The only explanation is that there is no body of Old Li at all.

In other words, Old Li himself is a dead man.

"Let's just split up..." Lu Guo still couldn't make up his mind to go into the village right now. "Jiang Li and I will go around the outside of the village first. Those of you who are willing to go in first can go in and find out what's going on."

Bai Yanliang did not respond to Lu Guo's proposal. He lowered his head, thinking about something, and his expression was somewhat 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 answered.

"Well, let's split up."

Yu Wenxuan nodded.

At this moment, everyone suddenly realized that after one person started to speak, there was no movement.

"Where's Miss Xu?"

The four of them looked around, but Xu Zhifei was nowhere to be seen.

"She...she's not going to be in trouble, is she?"

Jiang Li leaned closer to the men, and uncontrollable fear kept crawling out from the depths of her heart.

"I am here."

Suddenly, Xu Zhifei's voice appeared not far from Bai Yanliang.

Four pairs of eyes looked there at the same time.

There was clearly nothing where the sound came from!

Xu Zhifei... is invisible?
