You said you could kill the evil spirits without me, why are you crying now?

Chapter 353 Is there anything else?

The moonlight grows darker,

It was like a huge black curtain, weighing heavily on the entire village.

The village was terribly quiet, a silence that could make one's soul tremble.

All sounds were ruthlessly swallowed by the darkness.

The villager still stood at his door, bewildered, like a bystander.
It seemed that he had no idea what Chu He was talking about with this group of young men and women.
The confused expression looked somewhat funny in the dim light.

However, when Chu He's words reached the ears of the young men and women present,

It was like a gust of cold wind from the Netherworld, instantly making everyone feel a chill.
It crawled straight up along the spine and then spread to the whole body like an icy snake.

Everyone couldn't help but shudder, their bodies shaking slightly uncontrollably.

The ground beneath my feet seemed to have turned into a huge block of ice at this moment.

The coldness kept rising from the soles of my feet, that strange cold feeling,

It was like countless pairs of cold hands, tightly grasping their hearts.

"You are such an interesting person. You shine brightly when you are given some sunshine, right?"

Zou Baixuan seemed to have caught something.
He immediately took this opportunity to speak sarcastically.

His eyes were full of disdain, and the corners of his mouth curled up into a malicious smile: "He's just pretending to be mysterious and talking nonsense.

Then deliberately create this terrifying atmosphere to scare others.

Maybe,

The entire so-called strange incident tonight was a farce directed and acted out by you.

Wait, you didn't prepare two plans for today?
One plan was to go to the villa and steal valuables himself.
I didn't expect that I, a sharp-eyed person, would catch him.
So you can't go ahead with this plan.

So you came up with your second plan.
That is to create a terrifying atmosphere and poison my girlfriend.

I don’t know where they found the actor from, and he performed a weird and evil drama in front of us.

Your ultimate goal is to lure the tiger away from the mountain and make all of us leave that manor.

Your accomplice may have sneaked into the manor.

Are you planning to loot all the valuables in the manor?"

Zou Baixuan spoke very logically, and his tone was full of confidence in his own reasoning.

I have to say that what Zou Baixuan said is somewhat logical.

And it still sounds perfect.

His words were like a stone thrown into a calm lake.

This caused ripples in the hearts of many young people present.

Let them start to doubt.

After all, it was Lai Yuyao who wanted to catch the thief in the beginning.
The atmosphere was tense like a fully drawn bowstring, and the evidence was about to be thrown out.
When the thief was under control,
But suddenly, news came that something unusual had occurred at the gate of the manor.

Then, everyone seemed to be pushed by an invisible force.

I got caught up in a strange rhythm and came to this Xiashui village in a daze.

In this terrifying atmosphere, no one has the energy to think too much.

No one suspected the mysterious young man wearing a black baseball cap and a black mask.

"Could it be that what Zou Baixuan said is true?"

Someone whispered,

This sentence ignited the flame of doubt in everyone's heart.

Everyone's eyes began to wander over Chu He, their eyes full of suspicion.

“I think it’s kind of real.”

A young man hesitated and said,

There was a hint of suspicion in his eyes, and the look he gave Chu He became somewhat unfriendly.

"Do any of you actually believe Zou Baixuan?"

A girl immediately retorted: “Then how do you explain the strange plants grown in this village?
Have you forgotten what the villager looked like before?
His whole body was covered with mushrooms, which was not a scene that a makeup artist could create.

You can't say the whole village is in collusion.

This young man in a black peaked cap will act out this scene.”

Her voice was clear and loud, echoing in this quiet village.

The people around her listened to her words.
Some nodded slightly, while others fell into deeper thought.

Some people in the crowd believed Zou Baixuan's statement, while others were skeptical.

For a moment, everyone was talking, and the noisy voices intertwined in the night sky.

"Just call again and verify it."

Lai Yuyao raised her wrist slightly and glanced at the exquisite mechanical watch.

The pointer on the dial flickered faintly in the night.

Ten minutes have passed since I called the defense team.

Normally, if nothing unexpected happens,
The defense team should be on their way now.

"Okay, okay, okay, I'll call right away."

The girl who called earlier quickly responded,

She took out her cell phone again, her fingers trembling slightly.

I subconsciously glanced at the signal bar in the upper right corner of the phone screen.

Seeing that the signal is still full,
This made her feel a little relieved from the tension in her heart that was as tight as a bowstring.

She took a deep breath and called the defense team back.

As expected, the call was quickly connected.

The familiar voice of the defense team operator came again.

The appearance of this voice is like a stone thrown into a calm lake.

The emotions of everyone present instantly became tense.

Everyone began to stare at Chu He with vigilant eyes.

There were even a few young and energetic boys with angry faces.

It seems that Chu He is the culprit of all these strange events.

Seeing this, Lai Yuyao quickly waved her hand, signaling everyone to stay calm.

Then she nodded to the girl again, indicating that she should ask about the specific progress of the defense team.

In fact, Lai Yuyao also had a hint of doubt in her heart at this moment.

Only she herself knew that she was taking this opportunity to punish Sun Canxing.

The young man who came with Sun Canxing, wearing a black cap and a black mask,
He was just a pawn used by her.

Simply put, in Lai Yuyao's eyes, this young man was just a tool from the beginning.

Plus later,
Even her personal bodyguard Yu Yingjie,

They couldn't detect the presence of this young man wearing a black cap.
This is enough to prove that the other party is by no means a simple person.

Therefore, after rational analysis,

Lai Yuyao is actually more inclined to believe what the young man in the baseball cap said.

"Hello, I am the person who just called.

We are still in Xia Shui Village.

That strange evil spirit has not appeared yet, and there are also abnormal conditions in this village.

I wonder where the defense team is now?"

The young girl tried to keep her voice steady as she asked into the phone.

"Okay, we got it. We'll send a defense team as soon as possible. Is there anything else?"

The operator's formulaic voice sounded again.
There was no emotional fluctuation at all, like a lifeless machine.

This reply made many people present, including Lai Yuyao, frown.

The frown on their faces showed their confusion and anxiety. Because this answer was almost exactly the same as before, without any new information.

It was really weird, like they were stuck in a cycle that never stopped repeating.

Lai Yuyao frowned and walked over with a serious look.

He took the phone from the girl's hand.

He quickly put it to his ear and asked in a serious tone: "We have already clearly reported the situation here to the defense team.
Logically speaking, you should have already set off.

But why do you say now that you will send a defense team as soon as possible?

That’s what you answered just now. What’s going on?”

Yes, there seemed to be something wrong with this operator's performance.

Maybe it was because I was too busy that my mind got confused and the information was mixed up.
Is that why he gave such a weird and confusing reply?
Many young men and women present were thinking to themselves,

A look of worry appeared on everyone's face.

"Okay, we got it. We'll send a defense team as soon as possible. Is there anything else?"

however,
What Lai Yuyao and other young boys and girls never expected was that
The operator's voice was strangely steady.

The sound was like a pool of stagnant water, without any ripples or any trace of human emotion.

I didn't notice it just now, but now I listen carefully,
The operator's voice was numb and mechanical.
It was like it came from a soulless machine.

This amazing discovery made the people present suddenly fall from the scorching summer into an ice cellar.

The chill was like a sharp ice knife, piercing straight into their hearts.
It almost made their hearts stop.

Lai Yuyao's face changed, and she hung up the phone without hesitation.
Then he returned the phone to the girl.

Then, she quickly took out her cell phone from her pocket.
I called the defense team again.

After the call was connected, Lai Yuyao said into the phone: "I want to order a serving of fried chicken and a glass of iced Coke."

“Okay, we got it, and we’ll send a defense team as soon as possible.

Is there anything else I can ask?"

The operator's unchanged voice sounded again.
Exactly the same as the one just now, as if someone had set a fixed program for him.

No matter what they hear, they will give the same old response.

Lai Yuyao hung up the phone with a gloomy face. She took a deep breath.

Then he calmly looked at the young men and women around him.

At this point, everyone understood in their hearts whether Chu He was right or not, the answer was self-evident.

"Woooooooo..."

Suddenly, a girl broke down and covered her face and cried, “Are we completely trapped in this place?

I just graduated, and I'm looking forward to taking the martial arts exam.
And then you will have a bright future."

She cried bitterly, her body shaking: "The current situation is that, let alone the martial arts college entrance examination,

Maybe in the next second we will be ruthlessly wiped out by the evil spirit hiding in the darkness.

When I think that I might end up like those people before me,
Dark brown liquid is constantly ejected from the mouth, or mushrooms grow all over the body.
Then I watched helplessly as my life essence was stripped away bit by bit.

I was so desperate that my scalp was numb and I couldn't control myself at all."

"The road is right under your feet. If you give up easily now, you are really waiting for death."

Chu He clapped his hands vigorously.

The crisp applause was particularly loud in this depressing atmosphere.
Successfully attracted everyone's attention.

He looked at everyone with a determined gaze and said loudly, "Are you planning to give up on yourselves, or do you want to fight hard and find a chance to survive?"

"Don't give up, keep living. If you're going to die anyway, why not try one last time?"

A boy clenched his fists, and a glimmer of hope ignited in his eyes.

"This short period of time has proven that what you said is right. I will follow you."

Another person echoed.

“Yes, maybe he can lead us out of this desperate situation.

From the strange incident at the gate of the manor until now, he seems to always be able to keenly perceive the clues of the problem. "

The young men and women around nodded one after another, and more and more people began to believe Chu He.

Zou Baixuan opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something to refute.

But when he saw the tense and terrifying situation,

His lips moved, but he eventually swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

He stood silently among the crowd.

Like a frightened ostrich, he buried his head low and acted like a turtle.

"Why do people in your village grow such weird and scary plants in their vegetable gardens?"

Lai Yuyao frowned.

He looked sharply at the villagers standing at the door and asked loudly.

There is definitely something wrong with the villagers of Xia Shui Village, there is almost no doubt about that.

Even if he doesn't know the whole truth,

But it must also be inextricably linked to this complex truth.

Maybe, from this seemingly ordinary villager,

You will find the key to solving this desperate predicament.

"It's none of your business. This is a tradition in our village. Every household grows it."

The villagers looked impatient and said in a stiff tone,

That attitude was like that of an angry hedgehog, full of vigilance and resistance.

“Does a plant like this have any use?”

As Chu He was talking, he asked Sun Canxing for his wallet.
Then he quickly pulled out a few brand new hundred-dollar bills and stuffed them into the villagers' hands.

The red banknotes are particularly eye-catching in the night, exuding a subtle magic.

The villagers' eyes lit up instantly.
His attitude immediately took a 180-degree turn and became much gentler.

As he carefully put the money away, he said with great joy, "We call these plants dead grass.
This dead man's grass is really a magical thing!
No matter what the disease is, as long as you eat a little of this dead man grass, you will be cured immediately.

As small as a cold and cough,
Even those terminal illnesses that make people shudder are no problem.

I didn’t believe it at first. Think about it, how could there be such a magical thing?

But why did I believe it later?

That's a long story.

At the beginning of this year, I went to work in the mountains. It was really unlucky.

He was not careful, his foot slipped, and he rolled down the mountain.

You didn’t see it. The scene was so scary.

My ribs were broken and one of them even pierced my heart!

The barefoot doctor from the village came and shook his head after taking one look.
The meaning is obvious: I am beyond help.

Not only him, but also other people in the village who came to watch the fun,
You can all see that half of my body is already at the gates of hell.

At this time, a villager who had planted the dead grass first ran home and picked some.
At that time, everyone was at a loss and just wanted to give it a try.

After I ate the dead man grass, I didn't feel anything at first, so I just waited.
After a few minutes, I felt a chill running through my body.
That felt strange.

At the time, I thought my injury had worsened and I was really doomed.

But who could have thought that in just half an hour,
I was able to sit up from the ground by myself, as if nothing had happened.

You say, this isn’t magical, what is?”

The villagers were talking with great enthusiasm.

When his eyes occasionally glanced at those strange plants called dead grass,
His eyes were filled with cherishment like a treasure.

As if those weren't some horrible unknown things,

But it is a rare treasure that can bring him endless good luck.
