Accompanied by condemnation and curses, the wooden house was soon surrounded by villagers inside and outside.

They held farming tools in their hands, and their angry faces looked like they would rush up at any time to skin Lin Yi and his friends and cut them into pieces.

Seeing this group of villagers gathered outside, Lin Yi and his three friends felt bad, and they also understood why Ah Shu put this book here.

Ah Shu's purpose was to put the blame on them for the murder.

"Can they determine that we killed people just by relying on a book?" Zhou Kai said angrily.

Lin Yi shook his head and sighed: "In fact, for them, evidence is not important at all."

"Lin Yi is right. After all, this is not a civilized society. The law is not important to them at all." Zhang Cheng felt the same way, and even in his understanding, things might get worse.

After all, this underground world is completely disorderly.

Even if there are regulations restricting villagers, they will not apply to outsiders like Lin Yi.

This book is not important at all. Even without this book, they will still determine that the murderer is Lin Yi and other outsiders.

Therefore, when they found out that the village chief had been killed, they immediately surrounded the wooden house where Lin Yi and his friends were.

"You bunch of hateful outsiders, we kindly took you in, but you turned your kindness into hatred and killed our village chief!"

As soon as the villagers surrounded them, Lin Yi and his friends hid in the house and blocked the door with a table.

"What should we do now?" Zhou Kai looked at Lin Yi, "Or should we just fight our way out?"

"Anyway, we are planning to leave here."

Lin Yi and Zhou Kai didn't care. With their abilities, even if they couldn't kill all the people outside, they would have no problem breaking through the siege.

However, there was Zhang Cheng among them who was not good at fighting.

If they really had to fight, Lin Yi was not sure if they could all protect Zhang Cheng.

"Lin Yi, open the door." A familiar voice came from outside the door, it was Zhu Lai's voice.

But the appearance of this voice did not mean that Lin Yi and his friends would be safe.

After all, compared with a brother who suddenly appeared and might even snatch his mother away, the villagers outside were obviously more important.

"Brother believes that you are not such a cruel person, so open the door and let's figure it out."

When Zhu Lai was speaking, another dull footsteps sounded, as if someone walked to Zhu Lai's side. At this time, the villagers outside quieted down.

"I think you should investigate the man named 'A Shu'." Lin Yi said to the door, "Compared with us, he is more suspicious."

"I know." Zhu Lai said outside the door, "After this happened, I immediately sent someone to A Shu's residence."

"But A Shu is missing."

"That damn thing!" Zhou Kai cursed, "Killed someone, put the blame on us, and then ran away in advance."

"Don't worry, I have arranged for someone to catch him, so open the door." Zhu Lai outside the door continued.

Open the door?

Lin Yi is not stupid. If it weren't for the weird behavior of the villagers last night, Lin Yi might try to believe them.

But after the footsteps he heard yesterday, he was sure that these guys outside were wrong.

They will take action sooner or later. Ah Shu's act of killing and framing others just brought this process forward.

But because of the advance of the process, Lin Yi and the other two did not think about how to deal with it for a while.

Zhou Kai had taken out the crossbow from his bag. After thinking about it, he felt that the crossbow needed to be replaced after each shooting, and it could not be used in close combat.

So he put the crossbow back, took out the knife from the bag, and held it tightly in his hand.

Not only that, he also held a crossbow made of the thorns of a strange tree in his other hand, which was poisonous. He held a knife in one hand and an arrow in the other. With his ability, he was not afraid even if the opponent had a large number of people.

Lin Yi was the same. The thread of fate had been connected to Zhou Kai, and he was ready to take action at will.

Once the opponent broke in, they would immediately take action.

"Zhang Cheng, follow us closely in a while." Lin Yi said softly.

"Don't worry." Zhang Cheng's eyes turned, as if he had thought of a way.

Looking back at the corner, there was nothing there.

Zhang Cheng smiled and turned to walk towards the corner.

"Don't come over!" The little boy's voice suddenly came out from the empty corner.

When the villagers smashed the door before, the sound and roar scared the little girl in the corner.

Because of fear, she quickly hid her figure.

She kept holding the little boy's hand, and when she became invisible, she also made the little boy disappear.

Of course, this is not a real disappearance, but the little girl's ability can obviously make the person she touches invisible with her.

"Don't be afraid, you should know that we are not bad people." Zhang Cheng squatted down and said softly to the place where the voice came from.

"If we were bad people, we wouldn't help you deal with that machine at the beginning, right?"

"That machine is here to catch you, we want to help you, so we fight that machine."

Zhang Cheng's words were half true and half false. The capture machine did catch them at the beginning, but when the machine detected Lu Linhai, there was one more target to capture.

However, the two children who disappeared didn't know.

"But you left us and ran away. You have betrayed us once. Do you want to do the same as last time?"

"We are now companions on the same boat. If you don't help us, if we are caught, do you think you can escape?" Zhang Cheng continued.

"Even if we don't tell others that you are hiding here, can you find a way out by yourself?"

"Besides, we also shared precious food with you, so we should help each other in this kind of thing."

"Only in this way can we escape from here together."

Zhang Cheng seems to be very good at coercion and inducement.

With a kind smile on his face, his words are pressing step by step: "You have seen those people outside. They are not good people."

"So, what are you going to do?"

"Escape with us, or be caught by the group of people outside?"

Outside the wooden house, Zhu Lai stood outside the door with a serious face.

Although his face was gloomy and scary, his eyes were not as angry as other villagers, and there was even a little... smile?

"Zhu Lai, get out of the way!" A strong man stood next to Zhu La, also wearing simple coarse cloth clothes and armor made of beetle shells.

In addition to this strong man, there were more than a dozen people wearing the same clothes outside the house.

They were the "guards" responsible for protecting the village in the eyes of the villagers.

The strong man handed the axe in his hand to another person, raised his leg and kicked the wooden door.

With a loud "bang", the villagers around seemed to be excited, and the curses in their mouths became louder.

After two or three kicks, the wooden door and the table behind it were kicked open.

The guards rushed into the wooden house, but the room in front of them was empty, without a person.
