Cheng Miao and Tan Wen were both startled by the sudden appearance of the man. After watching the man scream and yell at them, they clapped their hands and sang to themselves.
"Damn, he's a lunatic, you scared me." Tan Wen spat, and even curse words came out, showing that he was very frightened.
It was already dark, and there was no time to waste time with this lunatic. The two of them walked back along the original path, within the light range of the lanterns at the door of each house.
Maybe because it was dark, the lanterns seemed not as bright as during the day. Some of them didn't know if the candles had burned out before they had time to replace them, so the lanterns were not lit and were just swaying in the wind at the door.
"I originally thought that the lanterns on during the day would be very attractive, but I didn't expect that this village would be very attractive when the lanterns are on at night."
Tan Wen frowned and ran quickly. Because some of the lanterns were no longer lit, they had no choice but to walk within the scope of the lanterns. There were some roads that they could only walk on.
There were very few villagers on the road, only a few came out to feed the animals, and the light from the lanterns they held was very weak, so they could not take care of Cheng Miao and the others.
Cheng Miao originally planned to take out the lantern and use it, but on the one hand, he saw that the old house was coming soon, and on the other hand, they had already walked for a while without a lantern, and nothing had happened yet, so he would take a closer look.
Several times, Cheng Miao felt that there seemed to be something behind her. She gripped the fishbone dagger tightly, preparing to hit it first and then light the lantern, but until she arrived at the old house, nothing unexpected happened.
"Sister Miaomiao, you are finally back...Brother Tan Wen, are you okay!" Lin Zhu ran out of the old house to greet Cheng Miao, but was startled by Tan Wen's pale face.
Tan Wu, who was originally a step behind Lin Zhu, heard Lin Zhu's words and ran out anxiously. He stood next to Tan Wen and looked left and right. He looked around. It was true that nothing was wrong. He pursed his lips and stood behind Tan Wen.
Cheng Miao didn't pay attention to Tan Wen along the way. Now he was startled by Tan Wen's expression as if he had been dead for three days. "What's wrong? Did you encounter something?"
Tan Wen rubbed his face and stamped his feet. All the players in the room came out. He was so energetic that he calmed down a little. "Don't you feel anything?"
Cheng Miao scratched his head and took back the fish bone dagger, "No, I just feel a little cold behind my back sometimes."
Tan Wen cursed, "I walked halfway and felt someone behind me. When I was approaching the old house, the thing was already lying on my back."
This sentence made several newcomers startled and frightened, and Xiao Xu and Zhang Lele crowded together.
Cheng Miao looked at the lantern that the village chief hung for them when he left, and then looked at Tan Wen who was still breathing heavily, "Then why don't you light the lantern."
Tan Wen glanced at Qin Wu subconsciously and said, "Isn't this just to hold on for a while?"
Cheng Miao fell silent. She knew that Tan Wen wanted to leave the lantern to her brother.
Tan Wen's ability is good, but Qin Wu's overall quality is indeed below the passing line. Tan Wen still protects Qin Wu and does not give him training. This is actually not a good thing for Qin Wu.
But this was a family matter, so Cheng Miao didn't say anything.
"Sister Miaomiao, eat quickly, it will get dark soon." Lin Zhu came over with a bowl of rice. Cheng Miao hurriedly cooked and told everyone about his cell phone and what he found at the village house.
"Then we can't find the book of records, so we can't clear the level?" Xiaoxu's face was stained with a trace of despair. If he couldn't find the book of records, he didn't know what the village was like.
Cheng Miao finished his meal in three mouthfuls and was rinsing his mouth with water. Hearing this, he comforted him: "Don't be so frustrated. This is a common thing. Key clues are not that easy to get."
Cheng Miao untied the long hair that she had tied up in the morning, draped it over her body, and combed her scalp with her fingers. "Now we can summarize a few questions. First of all, the dungeon mission is to escape from Zhangjiacun, so we need to go to the village entrance to confirm it tomorrow. Is it true that I can’t get out? Is it because of human intervention or something else? Then think of a way to escape.”
"It's a ghost beating the wall. It's so powerful that I can't get out." Liange, who had been standing slightly leaning against the earthen wall, suddenly spoke. Seeing everyone looking over, she gently raised her lotus-rooted arm and said goodbye to a small piece of broken hair that had fallen. Behind the ear, "I went to see it."
Cheng Miao looked at Lian Ge deeply. He went to the entrance of the village alone, encountered a ghost beating the wall when the lantern could break at any time, and still came back unscathed. He was a ruthless character.
Cheng Miao was not the only one who thought of this. The way Tan Wen and Ye Zi looked at Lian Ge also changed. However, Lian Ge seemed to not feel it and had no intention of sharing what happened to others. After speaking, he said leisurely not talking anymore.
Old players have experienced too many dungeons and encountered too many things. It is normal to have any personality habits. Although it is a pity that Lian Ge did not share clues, no one said much.
"You... why don't you ask her what she encountered!" Unfortunately, not everyone has the psychological quality of an experienced player and the strong ability to withstand pressure to find clues on their own.
Song Yu, a bright and handsome boy at first, changed his whole person after experiencing the death of two people.
Although he still had the same angular face, his anxious expression and suspicious posture made him look a little hateful.
Liange followed Song Yu's finger pointing at him and looked at his dancing pupils. Suddenly, his red lips opened slightly and he let out a chuckle.
Everyone was bewitched by the voice for a moment, but they also heard the disdain in it.
When Cheng Miao saw the boy who was so aggressive just now, his face instantly turned pale and he shrank aside.
Cheng Miao touched her earlobe, and Qin Musong whispered beside her, "Her skills may be as good as mine."
Cheng Miao frowned slightly, so powerful!
Qin Musong is a retired professional soldier, and later became a security captain in a foreign trade company. His close combat ability is second to none. How can a painting-like woman like Lian Ge be praised like this by Qin Musong.
Except for Qin Musong, no one present had the ability to provoke Lian Ge. Cheng Miao intuitively felt that Lian Ge was a strange woman who would not do anything to harm others and benefit herself, and had no intention of conflicting with her.
Of course, Lian Ge's good looks also have a certain influence.
"Then let's talk about it," Cheng Miao sat on the steps in front of the old house, "Since the power of ghosts and gods cannot escape, then we have to start with the problems in the village."
Cheng Miao wrote and drew on the dirt. She looked up at the three lanterns hanging in front of the old house. The lights were dim, as if they were about to go out at any time.
"It's getting dark now. Let's sum it up. Judging from the clues we have now, the taboo during the day is to walk in places without lanterns, and the taboo at night is to make noise or open the door after turning off the lights."
"Look at it this way," Ye Zi looked at the lantern on the top, his eyes bursting with intense light, "Lantern! The function of the lantern is to ward off evil spirits!"
