The strange appearance of the villagers made a group of officials panic.
They have never seen such strange and evil eyes, and when those eyes fall on them, they can't help but feel their scalp numb.
Just like wild beasts in the forest, when targeted by a terrifying predator, they may become delicacies in their mouths.
Such a dangerous smell, coming from a group of ordinary villagers digging for food in the soil, made the officials feel very outrageous.
If they were a group of gangsters with sharp edges all over their bodies, it would be normal to give people such a feeling.
However, when a group of ordinary country villagers have no contact with specific environmental groups and want to pretend to be dangerous, they end up just pretending to be a tiger rather than a dog.
But the group of villagers in front of them was indeed terrifying, making a group of old government officials nervous.
At this moment, they no longer thought about investigating the case, but wanted to escape from the village as soon as possible.
There is definitely something wrong with this place. If you persist in investigating, you may encounter fatal dangers.
A group of officials made up their minds and turned around to leave without hesitation.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, they suddenly discovered that the road they came on had mysteriously disappeared.
It was clear that a few seconds ago, they were walking on the road into the village, and in the blink of an eye they ceased to exist.
The strange situation that suddenly broke out made a group of guilty officers even more nervous, and they all prepared for battle with their swords and guns.
At this time, I looked for the villagers again, only to find that they had disappeared without a trace.
The village looks like it has been abandoned for a long time, and it does not feel the slightest bit of popularity.
Being in this kind of environment makes people feel extremely uncomfortable and can't help but feel nervous.
"What's going on? Why are all the villagers missing?"
One of the officers, holding a short gun in his hand, asked his accomplices in a nervous tone.
If you look closely, you can see that his arms are shaking slightly.
As a veteran who had served in the army and been an official for twenty years, he had never had his hands shaking like this before when holding a gun.
The occurrence of this situation was enough to prove the extreme panic in his heart.
The same goes for other officials. They pretend to be calm on the surface, but in fact they are panicked.
What they encountered today had never been encountered before, making them feel very dangerous.
"Have these villagers turned into ghosts?"
Another official said in an uneasy tone, with cold sweat constantly flowing on his forehead.
"How is it possible? There are no ghosts in this world!"
A black-faced officer next to him immediately said in an angry voice, as if he was very taboo about such a statement.
Don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, and do a lot of immoral things like black-faced officials. What you fear most is the existence of ghosts and gods.
If there really are ghosts and gods in the world, wouldn’t those ghosts and ghosts who were killed by him come to seek revenge?
Hearing the black-faced officer's retort, an officer next to him said: "Why are there no ghosts? Have you forgotten the Dreamland Ghost Realm? There are evil ghosts and gods in that place, and it can also give mortals extraordinary powers."
A group of officials and yamen servants were shocked at the same time.
Only then did they remember that the dream ghost realm that suddenly appeared some time ago did have legends about various evil ghosts and gods.
This is a supernatural organization that has been confirmed to exist. Many rich and powerful people are doing their best to obtain extraordinary power.
Including their commanders, as well as their commanders' commanders, I heard that they are all planning things in this regard.
If the strange anomalies in the village are related to extraordinary power, it will definitely attract the attention of the big officials.
If they can get benefits, they should not treat their subordinates badly, and they will definitely give generous rewards.
When the officials thought of this, they couldn't help but feel hot in their hearts.
If you are appreciated by a big shot, you will definitely have a prosperous official career in the future, and you will become a person above others from now on.
If he performs better and contributes to the process of obtaining extraordinary power, his rise to fame will be just around the corner.
They also know very well that extraordinary power is very dangerous, and a little carelessness can endanger lives.
Various legends all prove this point.
At this moment, in the village, the most important thing to think about is not getting rewarded for meritorious service, but how to get out of trouble.
If you are trapped here and can never get out, that would be real trouble.
Not only would there be no chance of meritorious deeds, but one might even lose one's life.
After standing there and hesitating for a while, a group of officials decided to move forward. If they didn't figure out the secrets of the village, they might not be able to leave at all today.
Being trapped in this place will become more and more troublesome the longer it goes on.
After making up their minds, a group of officials moved forward and soon arrived at the center of the village.
There is a house in the center of the village that originally belonged to the village chief's family and took three generations to build.
It's not that the project is grand, it's just that there is no money in the pocket, so generation after generation will continue to build it.
In this remote village, it is considered a majestic building, enough to crush all the villagers' houses.
Today's house has completely changed its shape. It is less like a private house and more like a solemn temple.
Ornaments made from strips of faded cloth, covered with mysterious runes, hang from the pillars around the house.
Inside the opened room, a simple statue could be seen. It was impossible to describe what it was.
It looks like a monster, but it has the majesty of a god.
Not sure if it was an illusion, but when they saw the simple statue of the god, they suddenly felt trance-like.
Several officials visited this village a few years ago and confirmed that the village chief's family was not like this.
Looking at the marks left on the wall, you can tell that this building was renovated not long ago.
The first time they saw the temple, the officials had the idea that maybe all the changes were related to him.
Thinking of the strange appearance of the villagers and the brutal fighting outside the village, the expressions of the officials became more solemn.
Just at this moment, a villager slowly walked out from behind a nearby house.
His face was as pale as paper, as if it had been smeared with white ash, and only his eyes were blood red.
Outside his body, he wore a strange short robe, which was also covered with various runes.
Such a strange image further proves that there is something wrong with the villagers.
More and more villagers came out from behind the nearby houses. They all had the same shape, and their skin had a strange gray-white color.
After these villagers appeared, they surrounded a group of officials and stared at them with cold and ruthless eyes.
No matter how slow your reaction is, you will realize that the situation is becoming more and more dangerous.
"What are you doing? How dare you surround the officials? It's simply lawless!
I advise you not to play tricks, otherwise once the soldiers come to the border, you guys will all go to jail. "
An officer saw this and immediately shouted loudly.
These cunning officials know how to slap random names and intimidate some uninformed villagers.
Once the villagers are fooled, they have no choice but to manipulate the situation.
But these intimidation tactics that had been tried and tested in the past had no effect at all at this moment.
The villagers didn't react at all to his threats, as if they didn't hear them.
The calmer the villagers appeared, the more panicked a group of officials became, and the feeling of uneasiness became stronger.
Just when they were panicking, a figure walked out of the temple and looked at a group of officials with cold eyes.
"You colluded with the powerful and did some outrageous things. Now you must be severely punished!"
When a group of officials heard this, they felt their scalps explode.
