Chapter 105 The truth of the village
The one who sat up from the coffin in front of me was not a ghost.
But the first criminal policeman in Dachang City, Feng Quan.
He had disappeared due to the supernatural incident in Huanggang Village. In terms of time, he should have been missing for three months.
After being missing for so long, Feng Quan is still alive.
This was an incredible thing.
After living alone in this terrifying ghost village for so long, anyone should have died long ago.
Although I don’t know how Feng Quan survived, Yang Jian didn’t have the heart to care about this at this moment.
And facing Yang Jian's questioning.
Feng Quan just said calmly: "In fact, I have reported the situation here to the headquarters. If you come to take action, you should be able to get that file. As long as you have seen that file, you should know my situation... To be honest, with my current state, I cannot tell you the situation personally. I can only forcefully control the villagers and give you some hints, but this control is very fragile. After all, my situation is very bad now."
"And at first I can't be sure what your group of ghost drivers really are here."
"As for that old lady, I was indeed led by me. The cough did not intentionally mislead you, but was just reminding you that someone was helping you, not your enemy, so that your attention would be focused on that ghost, not me."
"It's a pity that you misunderstood what I mean."
Yang Jian said angrily, "Don't just push things away and it's done. In fact, without your reminder, I didn't know that there was someone like you in this place. I read that file and deleted it, and the key information was erased."
"You seem to be kind to help me, but in fact it has misled my ideas. I had to deal with a ghost and passed it, and your existence made this supernatural event particularly complicated."
"Sorry, this is something I didn't expect."
Feng Quan apologized, but his face was as cold as usual, and there was no sign of apology at all.
Yang Jian said again: "I didn't expect it? Did you think you were trying to kill us all? I had been to the mourning hall once before. I tried to open the coffin, but you stopped me."
"You don't want me to open the coffin. What are you afraid of? Are you afraid of being killed by a demon?"
"The only safe place in this village should be inside this coffin."
Feng Quan looked at him numbly, without giving any explanation, but said, "The reason why I can't get out of the coffin is not that I am afraid of death, but because I can't allow the ghost outside to return to the coffin."
"Once it enters the coffin, its horror level will be raised to an unimaginable level."
"Not to mention a village, even a city will fall. If your appearance will cause bad things, maybe dying here is a good choice. When you opened the coffin, the ghost was next to me. I can't take this risk."
Yang Jian was angry and felt a chill in his anger.
When he opened the coffin, the fierce ghost was next to him?
"Impossible. When I opened the coffin for the first time, there were no ghosts in the mourning hall. I checked it."
"Are you sure you have really checked?" Feng Quan asked back.
Yang Jian suddenly realized something, and he looked at the portrait on the altar.
At this moment, there were no photos in the frame of the portrait... It became blank. When I entered the village, the photos inside the portrait were still fine.
He is a handsome young man.
"That portrait?"
He suddenly realized this and stared at the blank photo frame.
"The man in that portrait is... a ghost?"
Feng Quan said: "Yes, it's just a ghost, and he's always guarding next to this coffin. Wherever the coffin is placed, the portrait is placed. I can't get rid of it... So when you opened the coffin, the ghost was also watching you."
"It is waiting for an opportunity, a chance to open the coffin. Once it enters the coffin, not only will I die, but you will also die. Everyone here will die. In that case, if it were you, would you allow the coffin to be opened?"
"And you were not killed in the mourning hall after that, not because the mourning hall is safe, but because I existed in the coffin... So you were not alone at that time, and that ghost did not find a chance to attack you."
"I have to say that you are very smart. Although you guessed wrongly, the result is right. The mourning hall is both the most dangerous and safest place. The ghost is in the mourning hall, and I am also in the mourning hall. As long as you stay here, it is safe for the time being."
"I've finished saying everything. Do you have any questions now? If not, I think we can join forces to detain the ghost and completely resolve the supernatural incident in Huanggang Village."
After listening to it, Yang Jian felt very complicated at this moment.
He didn't know if he should be angry with Feng Quan or if he should blame his fate for his actions.
If you blame Feng Quan, you are not qualified.
After all, he was indeed reminding himself that a group of people should get together to avoid being killed alone.
The latter did have an effect.
It was just some of the reminders and hints that Yang Jian and others misunderstood the wrong meaning, thinking that the old lady was a ghost.
In fact, Feng Quan reminded himself and others through the existence of the old lady that he was with you.
"I have a few questions. Are the villagers in the past humans or ghosts?" Suddenly, Zhang Han, who was silently a listener, asked immediately.
He had confirmed that the corpse in front of him, which was made from the coffin, was a human.
But the doubts in my heart still exist.
"It's a person who doesn't exist."
Feng Quandao; "I don't know how to determine their existence. I only know that these villagers only exist in this village, similar to ghost slaves, but they are different from ghost slaves. Ghost slaves exist because of evil ghosts, but they exist because of ghost coffins. The ghost coffin is not a ghost, but me. Perhaps because of this, they are more like humans."
"And because I have been lying in the ghost coffin, it can affect their thinking and use them to try to communicate and convey information with you."
"You said this coffin is called a ghost coffin, what's the use?" Yang Jian asked.
"I have already made a report on the information about the ghost coffin last time. Since you haven't seen it in the archives, it means that your level is not enough. Perhaps... you are not an Interpol. I can't tell you about this news. This is a leak of state secrets." Feng Quan said.
Yang Jian's face turned black.
Feng Quan said: "You don't have to be angry. You will naturally know when you should know. In short, the three of us must not let this coffin fall into the hands of the evil ghost."
"This time I took the initiative to come out because the balance here has been broken. Its horror level will increase according to the number of ghosts in this village. It was because there were too many people who died that the village was completely taken over by this ghost. However, your previous move was very powerful and almost a mortal situation. You can actually think of releasing other ghosts to take away the ghosts in the village and weakening its power."
"Aren't you planning to release my ghost?" Yang Jian said.
Feng Quan said: "No, the person who coughed outside the door that night was the villager named Liu Genrong. I was controlled by me, and I just wanted to scare you and let you go back to join us instead of being alone. After that, my control failed. Next, Liu Genrong was controlled by the ghost here, and then it entered your room."
"So I wanted to take away the ghost in your box, not me, but it... just for some reason, it finally gave up."
As he said that, he glanced at the portrait on the altar.
"I said, the situation here is special. The people you meet are sometimes humans, sometimes they are me, sometimes they are ghosts... But I can tell you that there are no living people in this village. Except for the three of us, everything here exists because of this ghost coffin."
"So that's the case...so this time our mission is to solve the supernatural incident on the surface, but in fact we are here to save you." Yang Jian said.
"It can be said that, but the risk brought by this failure is very high. There is a risk of breaking the balance and causing the ghosts here to lose control. I think you shouldn't come to save me, but if the above insists on doing this, I don't think it's for my safety, it should be this thing."
Feng Quan pointed to the vermilion coffin.
For the ghost coffin?
Yang Jian stared at the coffin and looked at it a few times.
Very ordinary coffin.
But even ghosts have to fight for this coffin.
It must be quite special.
But only Feng Quan knew about this particularity, but he did not intend to say it.
"Have you finished speaking now? Why do I feel something is wrong outside now?" Suddenly, Zhang Han said nervously at this time.
He pointed outside.
The village, which had been brightened, began to gradually become darker at this time.
