Sick beauty loses horse in thriller game

At this moment, there was no one outside.

Every household in the village has turned off the lights and gone to bed.

The world outside the courtyard gate was filled with hazy darkness and extreme silence, so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

This is not the only phenomenon that makes players feel strange.

The light outside was dim, but not dark.

The sky suddenly turned a strange blood red color, emitting a bloody glow.

Jiang Lai saw that the tree directly opposite the village chief's house had swaying shadows at this moment.

Against the backdrop of the blood-red sky, the tree looked like a ferocious monster, making one shudder.

It has rough bark like calluses, as if it has witnessed the birth and death of countless lives.

The tree trunk is tall and straight, with branches and leaves stretching out, rustling in the night breeze.

Under the shade of the trees, the ground was covered with fallen leaves swept down by the merciless cold wind.

Whenever the wind blows, the piled up leaves make a faint sound in the darkness.

In this eerie silence, the big tree has obviously become the most shocking existence in this ancient and remote village.

Jiang Lai frowned and was about to suggest that everyone go under the tree to see what was going on, but unexpectedly, a series of squeaking sounds suddenly came from the originally empty and silent street!

The door of the village chief's house opposite the big tree suddenly opened.

Under the blood-red sky, a figure appeared in the dark doorway as if by magic.

It’s the village chief Tokutomi.

At this moment, Tokutomi's posture was very strange. It looked like he was standing up slowly, hunched over.

If the wall of their house wasn't low enough, Jiang Lai and the others probably wouldn't have been able to see such a strange and bizarre scene.

The village chief Tokutomi stood up and suddenly twisted his neck to a strange angle. Almost in an instant, his body was motionless, with only his head turned to look in the direction of Jiang Lai and the others.

Although it was not dark outside, it was very gloomy.

With Jiang Lai's eyesight, he couldn't see clearly.

Fortunately, she has Xiao Ai.

Even though the distance between them and the village chief was not close at the moment, Jiang Lai learned through Xiao Ai's reminder that the village chief not only turned his face towards where they were, but was also staring at them!

His eyes widened to almost twice their normal size!

The village chief stared at Jiang Lai and the others with his eyes wide open. He suddenly took a breath and shouted, "Why are you running out here in the middle of the night instead of going to sleep?!"

Jiang Lai couldn't help but frown when he saw this.

She felt that the village chief at this moment looked like... an angry bull.

"Ah, we were sleeping, but suddenly we heard some noise outside, so we came out to check what was going on." Jiang Lai said.

"Bullshit! The village is so quiet at night. How could there be any noise?" The village chief roared, "Go back to sleep, or I'll kick you out of the village!"

"No, Village Chief." Jiang Lai said with a smile, "We still have to teach in the village, and we need you to sign and stamp our internship report. How can you chase us away?"

Every player found an internship report with his or her name and photo on it in the luggage on the bus.

They guessed that perhaps only by getting the village chief to sign and seal the internship report could they pass this copy.

However, it is still unknown what conditions need to be met to obtain the signature and seal of the village chief.

"Hmph, it's good that you guys know what's going on! Those who want to get signatures and stamps, go back to bed and don't cause any more trouble tonight!" The village chief glared at the players and said.

"Ah, okay, okay, we'll go back now. Good night, village chief."

Jiang Lai behaved very well. He spoke to the village chief and politely said good night to him.

After saying that, she winked at the others and asked them to go back to their rooms to rest for a while.

Of course, this kind of obedience is only on the surface.

As she returned to the room, she arranged for Jixiang and the seven young ladies to divide into two teams to go into the village to investigate the situation.

Jiang Lai, who was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, soon received feedback from Jixiang and the others.

Everything seemed safe and sound in the village.

Every household closed their doors, turned off the lights and went to sleep.

The same situation exists even in the village chief's house.

On several occasions, when Jixiang and his companions passed by the doors of the villagers' homes, they could even hear the clear snoring coming from inside the stone houses.

Especially in the village chief's house, one can hear the thunderous snoring.

Jiang Lai was stunned after listening to Jixiang and the others’ report.

The village chief... after running out and scolding them in a weird manner, he went back to sleep?!

I wonder how many people suffering from insomnia are envious of this ability to fall asleep in seconds!

"It's so unfair! Why are we racking our brains to find clues and unable to sleep, and the village chief scolds us, but we can fall asleep in one second!" Jiang Lai complained in his heart.

In pursuit of fairness and justice, she decisively gave Jixiang an order.

“Jixiang, try to make some noise and see if you can wake up the village chief. Be careful when you act and make sure you don’t get discovered by others.”

Although Jixiang didn't know what his mother's intention was, he knew that what his mother said must be right, and he just had to follow it seriously.

The little guy agreed and looked around the village chief's house. He floated in the air, stretched out his hand lightly, and pushed a loose, unstable stone on the wall of the village chief's house into the yard of the village chief's house, making a loud noise.

This really worked.

Jixiang and several young ladies saw that in the dark room of the village chief's house, a black shadow seemed to flash at a very fast speed, and then the creaking sound of the door being pushed open sounded again.

Just like before, the figure of the village chief Tokutomi appeared in the dark door frame.

Jixiang and the others are all spirits, so it is unlikely that they would be seen by people.

To be on the safe side, they also deliberately hid in the shadows of the surrounding houses to avoid exposing their target and affecting Jiang Lai's plan.

The village chief slowly stood up his hunched body and looked into the yard, but did not find anything unusual. He only saw a stone fallen in the yard, and thought it was blown by the wind.
