Chapter 225 Old Clothes
Chapter 225: Funeral Clothes

She became transparent?
What happened was somewhat beyond Bai Yanliang's expectations. Xu Zhifei's voice was clearly right next to him, but the four of them could not see anything.

Is this visual invisibility or physical transparency?

Bai Yanliang stretched out his hand and touched forward.

what?
It’s icy and cool, not big, and a little soft…

"Snapped--"

A loud slap landed on Bai Yanliang's face.

Well, now he was sure that Xu Zhifei had simply become invisible to the naked eye, but his body still existed.

"What did you do or say just now?"

Bai Yanliang asked the air beside him.

Yu Wenxuan and the other two looked at him in shock.

A red palm print quickly appeared on Bai Yanliang's left cheek, but he acted as if nothing had happened and asked the questions that needed to be asked.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Bai Yanliang thought everyone was confused, so he explained: "This invisible state is unlikely to happen suddenly. It must be that her words or actions triggered some taboo, so it became like this now."

"and many more……"

Jiang Li suddenly said, "Could it be that the old man who led us suddenly became invisible because of this? What if he really is a ghost..."

Having said this, Jiang Li suddenly felt a chill on her neck, as if someone was blowing air at her.

It’s really hard to say…

After hearing what Jiang Li said, Lu Guo began to feel uneasy.

Bai Yanliang immediately interrupted everyone's random thoughts and said, "You haven't answered me yet."

He was obviously talking to Xu Zhifei.

"No."

Xu Zhifei spat out two words coldly.

They didn’t know if it was an illusion, but they felt that Xu Zhifei’s tone was a little colder than before, as if he was angry.

It seems that Bai Yanliang just touched a place that shouldn't be touched.

“I saw the face.”

At this time, Xu Zhifei suddenly spoke again.

"Face?" Lu Guo widened his eyes, not quite understanding what Xu Zhifei meant.

"A white face just appeared on the collar of the shroud."

Although Xu Zhifei's tone was calm, his words made people's scalps tingle.

Bai Yanliang immediately looked at the nearest shroud. It was still hanging under the eaves in its bright red color. There was nothing unusual about it, not to mention the white face that suddenly appeared on the collar.

But he also didn't think Xu Zhifei was lying or had made a mistake.

What she saw was probably what made her invisible.

"Do you still remember what that face looked like?" Bai Yanliang asked, staring into the air.

Xu Zhifei didn't answer, but Bai Yanliang could hear that her breathing seemed a little disordered.

"You...turn around."

Xu Zhifei seemed to be gritting his teeth.

"Ok?"

Bai Yanliang didn't understand and continued to stare at the air beside him.

"Don't look at me..." Xu Zhifei's voice was a little embarrassed and annoyed, "Turn around."

"Oh." Bai Yanliang felt quite aggrieved. There was clearly nothing but air there.

"That face... is mine."

Xu Zhifei's voice sounded again.

This time it was even more creepy.

Jiang Li couldn't believe why Xu Zhifei didn't scream just now. Wasn't she afraid?

Her own face suddenly appeared on the shroud... She shuddered at the mere thought of it, but Xu Zhifei stood there quietly, waiting until everyone noticed that she had disappeared before she spoke.

Jiang Li didn't know whether to say that she was brave or slow to react.

"What should we do now? Xu Zhifei has become invisible to the naked eye. If something happens to her, we won't know about it." Lu Guo said with a frown.

At this time, Bai Yanliang raised his mobile phone, turned on the camera, and took pictures of the air around him.

"Is it not possible this time..."

There was no human figure in the shooting screen, which made Bai Yanliang a little disappointed.

It seems that the camera is not able to capture invisible things like the last mission.

After thinking about it, Bai Yanliang took out a thin rope. He had used this rope to thread the key before. Now that the key was given to Xun Weimo, the rope was of no use for the time being, but it came in handy now.

Bai Yanliang tied one end of the rope to his left wrist and then passed the other end to the air.

"tie up."

Xu Zhifei took the rope. Bai Yanliang and the others couldn't see that she was actually watching him.

In fact, doing this is a very troublesome thing. If an emergency occurs, it will be very difficult for two people to escape by pulling each other.

A better option is of course to just hold hands.

But Bai Yanliang didn't want to be slapped again.

Being beaten is an unpleasant thing. Although Xu Zhifei saved him once, if he gets beaten again, Bai Yanliang will not be able to help but fight back.

After fastening it, Xu Zhifei's invisibility problem was finally temporarily solved.

The five people acted separately according to the opinions just now.

Bai Yanliang, Xu Zhifei, and Yu Wenxuan entered the village first.

Jiang Li and Lu Guo patrolled outside the village to see if there were any other discoveries.

outside the village.

This is not the first time Jiang Li and Lu Guo have worked together, so they are quite familiar with each other.

"What's wrong? Are you still concerned about what Xu Zhifei said just now?"

Lu Guo looked at the uneasy Jiang Li and said, "Don't think too much. Although Xu Zhifei saw her face on the shroud, she has only become transparent now. Nothing too terrible has happened yet."

"Then...where is that old man?" Jiang Li looked up at Lu Guo and asked.

Lu Guo opened his mouth and to be honest, he was also very worried that the ghost-like Old Li was hiding beside them.

After all, how could such a living person just disappear?
Lu Guo remembered that Yu Wenxuan was chasing him very closely, but he disappeared when he lost sight of him for just two or three seconds. This was simply impossible.

"If... he really wants to harm us, he can do it on the way. Don't worry, it's okay..." After saying this, Lu Guo himself didn't believe it.

"Well, maybe... I think too much."

Jiang Li nodded, but only she knew what she was thinking.

Before setting off this time, Jiang Li made a lot of special preparations.

This includes information on Shangyuan Village, Zhongyuan Village, and Xiayuan Village.

Although he couldn't find anything, Jiang Li unexpectedly got the meanings of the three words Shangyuan, Zhongyuan and Xiayuan.

The term Zhongyuan, in layman's terms, means... the ninth time node, the Ghost Festival.

The festival customs include worshipping ancestors, setting off river lanterns, and worshipping the dead souls...

In the fog collection, everyone learned a saying very early on, which is to never miss any details.

These details include some minor unnaturalness or seemingly ordinary coincidences.

Shangyuan Village, Zhongyuan Village, and Xiayuan Village.

Shangyuan Festival, Zhongyuan Festival, Xiayuan Festival.

Is this really just a coincidence...

Jiang Li's heart trembled and he looked up at the village.

All that could be seen were the backs of Bai Yanliang and Yu Wenxuan.

The two men were knocking on a wooden door. The shroud hanging in front of the door was blindingly red...
