Chapter 189 Night Tour (4K)

The fish you ate, are you okay?

Guan Anyan wrote on paper.

No problem.

Li Ang paused, Mosi's avatar had no digestive function, and the fish soup was still stored in the abdominal cavity as it was, and there was no abnormality for the time being.

He stepped to the window, and through the gap in the window, he could vaguely see that the streets of the village were empty, and the fog was drifting from the mountains and forests, gradually covering the entire Qishui Village.

The village is so quiet that you can't even hear the crowing of chickens and the barking of dogs, it's terrifyingly dead.

I don't know where the others are.

Li Ang withdrew his gaze. The group of them all carried enough dry food for several days, and there were also talismans that could condense the moisture in the air, so they could last for a while even in the wild.

The only concern is the danger lurking in the surrounding environment.

Wait until dawn to make plans.

He shook his head and wrote on the paper: You rest first, I will keep watch tonight.

Guan Anyan nodded, took out the warning talisman, pasted it in every corner of the room, and then lay on the bed, half asleep with eyes squinted.

Li Ang sat at the table, thinking about what he saw just now.

The village that should have disappeared three hundred years ago, the dull and numb villagers, the couple who claim to have nocturnal excursions, the crying black fish, and most importantly, the missing Chu Haoman

The room fell silent.

————

A cold and damp tunnel.

Howls of despair.

Lake water, algae, fishing nets, and blades.

With complicated illusions filling his mind, Guan Anyan suddenly woke up from the dream, opened his eyes, and stared at the bedroom ceiling.

'It's another nightmare. '

This is not surprising, her spiritual sense is much stronger than that of ordinary people, and she is born to see some abnormal things that should not exist.

This kind of talent made her suffer from discrimination and bullying in the family, but it also allowed her to be favored by Luli Academy, where she was able to go to school and learn to use her talent.

'The content of the nightmare should be related to Qishui Village. But I still couldn't see where the teacher and senior brother were. '

Guan Anyan thought silently, just as she was about to sit up from the bed, she was shocked to find that she couldn't move her body.

Will and body seemed to be forcibly separated. She could hear her heartbeat and feel her breathing, but she couldn't move even a single finger.

She is not a minder, and she cannot use mindfulness as power. She can only turn the only controllable eyeball to observe the surroundings.

The talismans in the room showed no signs of damage, and the door had not been pried open, and the monk named Luffy was still sitting at the table with a heavy scarf on his face, facing the slowly burning candle.

Like ordinary villages in the pre-Sui period, Zhuo Wenbai's home did not have oil lamps, only simple candles.

After a period of burning, the white candle gradually became shorter, and candle tears flowed around and accumulated at the bottom. And the candle flame also fluttered, becoming weaker at a speed visible to the naked eye.

'Why, I can't move.'

Guan Anyan was lying on the bed, trying desperately to recall everything after she entered the mutation. She had never breathed the mist directly, never eaten the food in the village, and all the water she drank was brought by her own.

It's not like being poisoned.

As she recalled and thought, she heard her own heartbeat that became stronger and stronger, and

Squeak.

The sound of old wooden planks being stepped on came from downstairs and gradually went upwards.

Squeak, squeak.

The regular noise of wooden boards, along the stairs to the upstairs, without rush, made Guan Anyan subconsciously think of the ancestral house he visited when he was a child, and it was like this, with old and noisy wooden boards everywhere.

Step, step, step.

A series of heavy footsteps sounded outside the corridor, slow and regular, from far to near.

Finally, stopped outside the door.

Guan Anyan turned her eyes and tried her best to look towards the bedroom door.

who?

She watched Zhuo Wenbai and his wife put a dense lock on the front door of the house and closed the windows so that outsiders could not enter.

Could it be that they had a nocturnal excursion and subconsciously came to the second floor?

Guan Anyan stared at the inside of the bedroom door, the heavy and thick wooden door bolt lying horizontally. This bolt structure determines that the door can only be opened from the inside.

But at this moment, that door bolt cannot provide even the slightest false sense of security.

Boom, boom.

There was a knock on the door, but no one answered.

After a while, a rustling sound came through the wooden door,

A flat, white thing that looked like a bent strip of paper stretched in along the narrow crack of the door.

That's a finger.

human finger.

The narrow and long fingers with almost no thickness slowly rise, bend, go around the door bolt, and hook the whole door bolt.

Then, lift up.

rustle--

The door bolt rubbed against the door panel, rose slowly, finally slipped out of the groove, and fell to the ground with a loud sound.

Squeak——

The door, opened,

The blown wind blows into the room, finally completely extinguishing the already weak candle on the table.

The moment the flame disappeared, Guan Anyan saw clearly what was outside the door.

That was indeed Zhuo Wenbai and his wife. They were dressed in white and stood outside the door. Their whole faces were like melted candles, drooping down, hanging on the bones, so that the distorted face appeared at the neck, and was facing into the house. Smile.

A biting chill instantly swept across Guan Anyan's body,

In the dark environment, the heavy footsteps sounded.

step, step.

Footsteps stepped across the threshold and into the house. As for the talismans that Guan Anyan placed high hopes on, all of them were silent, and none of them could be triggered.

Guan Anyan desperately rolled her eyes, tried every means to move her body, but it didn't work.

The footsteps were getting closer, and she could even hear the sound of the Zhuo Wenbo couple's cheeks shaking back and forth and hitting their necks.

Finally, footsteps came to the bed.

Guan Anyan's eyes were wide open, she couldn't see anything, but she just had a deep intuition—the Zhuo Wenbai couple stretched out twisted and pale palms towards her.

'Go away! ! ! '

The strong emotional fluctuations made the two fingers of Guan Anyan's right hand twitch. Like a drowning person grabbing straw, she looked at her right hand, crossed her fingers, and released her spiritual power desperately.

Hum——

The warm light spread out centered on the two fingers, illuminating the surrounding environment, illuminating the ghost-like Zhuo Wenbai couple, and also illuminating Luffy sitting behind the table.

Mosi's avatar stood up suddenly, grabbed Zhuo Wenbai and his wife's shoulders like iron hooks, and threw them out.

boom! !

Zhuo Wenbai and his wife bumped into the door frame, but their paper-like bodies didn't seem to be hurt much. They stood up together, with gentle and enthusiastic smiles at dusk on their faces.

.

Mosi's clone stepped forward in silence, and suddenly extended a distance with both hands, grabbed Zhuo Wenbai and his wife who wanted to separate and flee left and right, and threw them to the ground again like throwing noodles.

One click, two clicks, three clicks.

Zhuo Wenbai and his wife were beaten violently, and finally seemed to be unable to bear it anymore, their bodies turned into water, collapsed and splashed, seeping through the wooden boards.

Mosi's avatar was still relentless, and forcibly tore down the few wooden boards and crushed them to pieces.

It wasn't until the room returned to silence that Li Ang turned his head and asked Guan Anyan in a low voice, Are you okay?

fine.

After Zhuo Wenbai and his wife disappeared, Guan Anyan, who was gradually able to control his body, sat up from the bed, lit a flame-resistant talisman as a lighting candle, Just now you

Same as you, awake, but unable to move your body. Until you see the strong light you released.

Li Ang was silent for a moment, looked at the big hole in the corridor, suddenly opened his mouth to vomit, and spat out a little fish soup.

The fish soup is still the same as when I just ate it, pure and white,

The cold fish is still crystal clear.

.

Li Ang squatted on the ground and rummaged through the fish, vaguely suspecting that it was this pot of fish soup that caused Mosi's avatar to temporarily lose control, so he immediately took out a cold wine charm and stuck it on his stomach to freeze the remaining fish soup.

The Zhuowenbos are something like, if not ghosts.

Li Ang stood up and said to Guan Anyan, Let's go, let's explore the village.

Since they were attacked head-on, there was no need to hide their identities. Li Ang and Guan Anyan put on their talisman equipment, went down the stairs, and started searching from the house of Zhuo Wenbai and his wife.

Everything in the whole house is normal. On the first floor, there is a hall, kitchen, bedrooms for the husband and wife, and the bedroom for the daughter of the family. The second floor is the guest room and utility room.

Judging from the clothes found in the room, their daughter is about fourteen or five years old.

The pot where the fish soup was boiled in the kitchen has been washed, and no other fish can be seen.

In the rest of the rooms, there was nothing worth noting, and there was no trace of Chu Haoman's presence.

After discussing with Guan Anyan, Li Ang walked out along the side door of the house.

The street was filled with fog and the visibility was quite low. The two walked side by side, holding the fire talisman, and moved forward slowly.

The village was silent, and there was no one in sight. Li Ang pried open the door of a house at random, and quietly pushed in.

Tread Tread.

Footsteps echoed in the house,

The owner of this family - a farmer that Li Ang saw at dusk, with a distorted front, holding a blade, pointing toes, wandering around the house.

A low, muffled grunt kept coming out of his mouth.

'Have you turned into a ghost?'

Li Ang squinted his eyes and observed for a while, before the other party found him, he quietly closed the wooden door, made a gesture with Guan Anyan, and exited the bungalow.

They went to check several other houses and found that this was the case in all of them. People in the whole village seem to turn into ghosts at night, wandering in their houses.

People in any village have more or less nocturnal excursions. In fact, they are transformed into ghosts. They are humans during the day and ghosts at night. No wonder they have to close the door and not let them go out.

Li Ang looked around the entire Qishui'ao, there are probably hundreds of houses in this mountainous area, and at least four to five hundred people, if all of them are ghosts of the level of Zhuo Wenbai and his wife.

Their rescue team will definitely not be able to handle it.

Guan Anyan asked softly, What should we do now?

...find a way to find other people first, and then look for Chu Haoman.

Li Ang asked: You should still have the communication fireworks on your body.

Um.

Guan Anyan nodded, took out the communication fireworks from her arms, and was about to use them when Li Ang stopped them, Go outside the village. The movement of the fireworks may wake up the 'villagers' in the village.

good.

The two walked through the fog and came to the hillside outside the village. Just as they were about to use the fireworks, they saw an extremely faint light of fireworks flashing in the distant night sky, which could not be noticed without looking carefully—someone had already used it in advance.

Walk.

Seeing this, Li Ang immediately ran to the location of the fireworks with Guan Anyan. In a forest, they found Ji Xingwang from Luli Academy and Yu Yong, the puppet master.

Neither of them had wounds or blood stains on their bodies, but Yu Yong's face was pale and his palms were trembling.

Why are you here? Where are the others?

Seeing this, Li Ang immediately asked.

Ji Xingwang pursed his lips and replied: I came to this mountainous area after the strong wind and earthquake. After launching the communication fireworks, I met brothers Yu Yong and Yu Yuan. When the three of us were exploring, Yu Yuan was caught by something in the fog. Just drag it away.

Just drag it away?

Li Ang said in surprise, Ji Xingwang is a monk from Luli Academy, and Yu Yongyuyuan is a famous puppet master in Lingnan Road. Even if he encounters a strange attack, he should at least be able to see the other party's appearance.

Um.

Ji Xingwang nodded slowly and said, The opponent moved too fast, and seemed to have intelligence, and directly bypassed the warning talisman I arranged.

Ji Xingwang's tone was a little guilty. He and Wang Li Nian from the Taiyuan Wang family were originally the highest cultivation monks in the team, and they were the team leaders.

.

Li Ang was silent for a moment. First, there was a whole village of ghosts, and then there were aliens hiding in the fog that could directly raid and drag away monks. This rescue trip had a bad start.

I suggest we wait here for a while, maybe other people in the team saw the communication fireworks and rushed over here.

Li Ang roughly introduced what he saw in the village to Ji Xingwang and Yu Yong, and suggested, If we can't wait for anyone, then let's go to Yu Yuan first and see if we can rescue him.

Rescued is actually just a prettified rhetoric,

Being dragged away by an unknown shape in the mutation, the probability that Yu Yuan is still alive is too low, even if he can be found, it is basically to collect his body.

In fact, given the situation in the village, that Chu Haoman's situation might not be much better - the life lamp is still burning, but it doesn't mean that people are still living well.

You don't need to look for it, my brother is already dead.

The pale Yu Yong was silent for a moment, then suddenly said: I can feel it. The feeling between twins.

With a look of pain on his face, he held his head and muttered, Divide the corpse. He has been torn apart.

.

Ji Xingwang opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say, so he patted Yu Yong's shoulder to comfort him.

This operation was to rescue his student Chu Haoman, but without even seeing Chu Haoman, one of the team was killed first, and the life and death of the others were also uncertain.

Li Ang sighed for Yu Yuan's death, and asked Yu Yongdao, Can you feel where he is?

Yu Yong calmed down, stood up slowly, and pointed in a direction, It seems to be in that direction.

The four of them set off immediately, stepped through the vast mist, and came to a building.

The ancestral hall of Qishui Village.
