System [I am in a horror dungeon]

Chu Lingxian pointed to the dug hole and said, "This flower was transplanted here by someone else."

"what!"

Lu Nanyin hurried forward to check. There were obvious signs of someone turning over the area around the pit. When Chu Lingxian was digging, his movements were very gentle, so there wouldn't be such a large-scale disturbance. Moreover, the soil that was turned up was already dry, so it must have been five or six hours ago.

There was a series of messy footprints in the bushes next to them, extending deep into the forest. They couldn't go that far now, they had to wait until there was more time.

Li Jinjia made marks on the trees around the place. After remembering the place, the three of them continued to move forward. However, as they walked, they felt something was wrong.

Li Jinjia took out a rope, tied it around himself, and handed the other side to the two people. Chu Lingxian took it, tied it around Lu Nanyin's waist, and then tied it around himself. The three of them walked forward.

When they reached a lake, Chu Lingxian squatted down, reached his hand into the water, and slowly frowned. Why was there no ripples in the lake?

As long as there is life in a lake, there will be fluctuations. Even the smallest species will move and change the water flow slightly. It will not be completely still.

But now the lake in front of the umbrella man had no waves and no ripples on the water surface, but they could clearly feel the wind.

How is this going?

Li Jinjia found a stone, looked at the two of them, and threw it into the lake. Unexpectedly, when the stone fell on the water, it was as if it fell into a ball of cotton. There was no sound at all. It stayed on the water for a while and then gradually fell down without any sound at all.

The three of them looked at the entire lake and felt a little overwhelmed for a moment.

After a long while, Lu Nanyin asked, "Should we go over there?"

From where the few people were standing, they could see the mountains and forests on the opposite side, but they didn’t know what was in the water, so they couldn’t move forward rashly.

"Don't go yet. We need to know what's in the water first and make sure it's safe before we go."

The three of them walked around the lake. Surprisingly, there was no water flowing into the lake that connected to the outside world. No water flowed into it, and no water flowed out of it. However, the water in the shallower areas was very clear. How could such a lake of stagnant water be so clear?

The sun was setting. They had to get down the mountain, or they would run out of time.

On the way down the mountain, the further they walked, the denser the trees around them became. They had never walked on this road before and it didn't seem like the way to go down the mountain at all.

They also changed direction, but every time they came to this road, they saw that the sun was about to set and the outline of the moon could be vaguely seen on the other side, and they became a little anxious.

Chu Lingxian looked around. This seemed to be a formation, made of stones and trees from the mountains. No wonder it took so long to find the exit.

Chu Lingxian led the way to an area with densest trees. The two were a little confused, but because they had a rope, they both followed. After passing through the dense forest, they found the road they took to go up the mountain.

"Great, we're out, Chu... no, Lin Yuan, you're amazing!"

Li Jinjia gave Chu Lingxian a thumbs up, Lu Nanyin and Chu Lingxian looked at each other and smiled, and the three of them walked down the mountain.

On their way back, they also met that group of people. They were carrying a bloody person on a stretcher towards the warehouse.

The three of them watched from a distance.

"Who are they carrying? That direction seems to be a warehouse. Are they going to look for us again?"

"Looking at this, I'm afraid we won't be able to go back for a while."

"No way, I want to rest for a while. If we make such a commotion, we won't be able to stay here any longer."

Chu Lingxian took them to another path and arrived at the warehouse before the group of people did. They locked the door and even sealed the windows.

When the group arrived, they banged on the door and heard crying and swearing.

Finally, the village chief knocked on the door and shouted inside: "Three people, we have found our man, but he was seriously injured. Of course, we also asked him, and he said that you hurt him. Can you give us an explanation?"

"Village chief, there is no point in talking to them. Just go in and tie them up to avenge my son."

"That's right. We have no grudges against each other. Why did you hurt my child?"

"That's right, catch them and get revenge!"

"Catch them and take revenge!"

……

The surrounding crowd became enraged and surrounded the warehouse.

The village chief knocked on the door again. "Well, you choose someone and we can talk it out, okay? We don't know whether you did it or not. If you didn't do it, you have to explain why you didn't do it, right?"

"Then why do they think it was us who did it? You also said that we have no grudges against each other. Why would I want to hurt him?"

Li Jinjia was holding the door, refusing to let them in. When he heard them say that, he just retorted back.

"That's true. You really have no reason to hurt anyone. But we are from the same village and we know each other. We won't hurt our own people, right?"

"What about the other group of people? Why don't you go find them? Aren't they more suspicious?"

The people outside suddenly got angry, "They are much better than you, and you still have the nerve to mention them."

The three of them looked at each other in bewilderment. Are they good? The people outside are really blind and can't tell who is good and who is bad.

Chu Lingxian tried to read the minds of some of them. In their hearts, that group of people was indeed okay. They helped the villagers move things and sometimes went to the fields to help without asking for any compensation. They were completely different from the group of people they knew.

"them……"

"how is this possible?"

The villagers' inner thoughts were relayed by Chu Lingxian, causing them to doubt themselves. Were they referring to the same person?

"Don't be influenced. Everyone has different views on other people. They only know one side of them. A little favor makes them think that group of people are good people? That's a bit strange."

"It seems so. And the village chief is also strange. He keeps contradicting them and seems to be inciting the emotions of the villagers."

"When emotions get the best of you, things you do become uncontrollable."

As soon as he finished speaking, the people outside started pushing and shoving, and the door of the warehouse could not hold up.

Chu Lingxian handed each of them a piece of talisman paper, "This is an invisibility talisman, which lasts for one hour. After they rush in, just recite the invisibility spell on it."

After giving the instructions, the door of the warehouse was about to be pushed open. The three of them immediately grabbed the talisman paper, chanted the invisibility spell, and hid in the corner before the group of people rushed in.
