"Pretend to be a ghost."

"You think so too?"

"Well, these villagers just look deceptive. In fact, their physical fitness is worse than a living corpse."

"There are quite a few of them. If they are really enemies, it will be very troublesome."

"Trouble?" Zhou Lei frowned, then turned his head disdainfully.

Obviously, Zhou Lei doesn't think these fragile villagers can cause him any trouble.

Arrogant guy.

Zeng Shucheng sneered in his heart.

Then he didn't know what he thought of, put on a bright smile, and walked towards where the survivors were gathering.

"You are all here."

Zeng Shucheng walked to Gao Wen and Yelena with a smile: "I just walked around this village and found some interesting traces."

He is showing closeness.

This closeness is not meant for Yelena, but for Gawain.

Seeing the smile on Zeng Shucheng's face, Yelena blinked in confusion.

This person is so strange!

Why did you still act so friendly to 'Gao' when you were clearly taught a lesson by 'Gao' before?

Could it be a patient with Stockholm Syndrome?

Yelena could not understand this behavior.

"What clue?" Gawain raised his head while thinking.

"Some traces of burned paper, a dozen burnt umbrellas, and two coffins, one black and one red."

Zeng Shucheng seemed to have completely forgotten the previous conflict with Gao Wen, and under Yelena's strange eyes, he came close to Gao Wen to share information:

"The things are hidden in the woods to the north of the village. The coffins are half buried in the soil. The umbrellas are scattered next to the two coffins, which matches the position left by the pile of burned paper.

It was as if someone had performed a sacrifice specifically for those rows of umbrellas.

My first impression of that scene was that someone was offering sacrifices to those umbrellas, or rather to the people who held them..."

"Umbrellas, coffins, burning paper... Is someone offering sacrifices?"

"Have you ever encountered a similar scene before? I haven't, so I haven't collected any similar sacrificial information."

"I do not have either."

Gao Wen shook his head, and then looked at Zeng Shucheng's disappointed eyes and said, "I also discovered some interesting things here."

"What?"

"The villagers in this village may all be monsters."

Zeng Shucheng: “???”

Yelena: "Ah?"

"Are you serious?"

Upon hearing such breaking news, Zeng Shucheng couldn't help but take a breath:

"Brother, don't joke about this kind of thing. If these villagers were not alive, we would be in big trouble!"

"Gao, you mean, we are surrounded by a bunch of monsters now?" Yelena was furious,

Their wooden house is in this village!

If the group of people who appeared before were all monsters, wouldn't it mean that this time they appeared directly in the monster's lair?

"It's just possible." Under the serious gazes of the two men, Gawain spread his hands: "I can only say that the probability is very high. Of course, I cannot guarantee this 100%."

"Why?"

"Because of the maggots that came out of the NPC's nose?"

"Well, they do look weird, but I have seen patients with the same situation. Gao, they may just have a strange disease."

"It's also possible that the metropolis arranged it this way..."

Yelena and Zeng Shucheng said one after another.

"No, I say that because of the time they showed up."

Gawain shook his head at the two men with ugly faces and said, "Because my last mission was to deal with these things from the underworld, I specifically asked someone to ask after I returned.

Regarding the situation of these villagers, the book I read had a similar case, which was about what happened in a manor where a ghost dove occupied the magpie's nest.

Well, that's right, what happened in that village was similar to what we encountered, a group of dead people living like living people.

The situation in the two places is also very similar..."

"Really?" Zeng Shucheng looked suspicious. How could it be such a coincidence?

"False!" Zhou Lei, who had been listening for a while, suddenly interrupted: "You just said that ghosts live as living people, but I have lived in a big city for more than 200 days, and I have never heard of ghosts.

When we go out at 3:00 noon, we still run out together in groups to bask in the sun.

The attribute of ghosts is yin, and the sun at noon is the best to restrain them! How stupid are these ghosts to be able to escape at such a time?"

"Walter?"

Yelena felt that it made sense after hearing this, and turned to look at Gawain with doubtful eyes: "Gao, what Zhou said makes sense. I have never heard of ghosts who like to bask in the sun. Well, vampires are the same."

Saying this, the foreign girl nodded as if confirming.

In her mind, there is not much difference between ghosts in the East and the West. They are all afraid of the sun.

"I'm just saying that I've seen similar cases. If you think it's not true, then it's not."

Gawain, who was in a bad mood, did not explain to them, tightened his black robe and went back to his cabin directly.

Open the door, close the door.

Gawain left some clues for his guess and left.

Realizing that something was wrong, Yelena turned and looked at Zhou Lei and Zeng Shucheng beside her.

"Two gentlemen, Gao, what's wrong with him..."

...

What happened to Gawain?

He was a little flustered and wanted to be alone to calm down!

The situation in Yizhuang Village was so similar to the situation he encountered in his last mission!

Yes, it’s the ‘villa area’ where a big water monster lives!

They are all 'residents' who stay behind closed doors during the day.

It's all because there is a 'monster' next to my hometown that I can't afford to mess with!

It's just that the neighbor of the group of underworld creatures living in the villa area is an aquatic monster with long tentacles, and the 'residents' in this village have a neighbor who is a 'good village' that has been specially warned of danger by the warning panel.

!

The residents of the villa can summon crows to monitor their surroundings during the day, while the 'residents' living in this village are lodged in a group of 'living people', allowing them to wander around during the day.

Although they look different, they are exactly the same here!

Not to mention that burnt paper, umbrellas, and coffins were also found in Zeng Shucheng before, which sounded like items from the underworld.

There is also the ‘Yizhuang’ where the chariots and horses have been laid out in the mission...

In such a ghost place, if you say there are no ghosts, even if you kill Gawain, he won't believe it!

Think about it more carefully.

Is the 'Thriller Yizhuang' mentioned in the mission the building in the center of the village, or the village itself that has been isolated from the outside world?

Is it possible that the village itself is the ‘original body’ of Yizhuang in the mission prompt?

Think of it this way.

Strange villagers.

Strange atmosphere.

The chopped stone bridge...

The place where the village is located happens to be a geomantic treasure land with mountains, water and woods, which is very suitable for burials.
