Communication due to language barriers was basically a chicken-to-duck affair. Shen Lin and the others tried to communicate with the old man for a long time, but other than figuring out what happy events there seemed to be in the village, they didn't get any very useful information.
The old man was thin and smoked cigarettes. He sat at the entrance of the familiar village and looked at the scenery and people in the distance, but his eyes were so satisfied, as if just being able to bask in the sun would already make him feel happy.
Shen Lin and others said goodbye to the old man politely and walked towards the village. The old man did not stop them and continued to sit at the entrance of the village, smoking and sunbathing.
When you first enter the group, you will see a wide village road. There are many earthen houses on both sides of the village road, most of which are similar in shape.
The earthen houses here do not mean rustic, but are really made of mud.
Shen Lin knew something about this when he got to know the villages of the Republic of China. Because of the corruption of the last feudal dynasty and the warlords' wars for years, villagers in this era could hardly be said to be very rich. Being able to eat was considered very important. A good situation, so of course the living environment cannot be too good. Bricks and tiles are the building materials of wealthy people. Rural people basically use mud to build walls. House leaks and collapses occur every time it rains.
Shen Lin didn't have a deep understanding of the operation method of building a house with mud. He just briefly understood this feature. He didn't expect to see it with his own eyes.
The area of each house on both sides of the village road is similar. At the end of the village road is a T-junction. There is an open space on the left, with a millstone placed on it and a few sawed-off old trees standing there. Many villagers use it as a seat and gather in twos and threes to chat about home affairs.
There is a small pond not far to the right. Beside the pond is the century-old locust tree that Shen Lin saw just now. There are also many people gathered under the old locust tree, but it is obvious that most of them are young people.
Their arrival was obviously noticed by the villagers. They were clean and tidy. At first glance, there was a huge difference between the clothes of wealthy people and the rough skin of these villagers. This also caused Shen Lin and the others to be treated as quietly as monkeys. They watched silently, but no one came up to talk.
The curious but timid expressions in the eyes of the villagers could not be faked, and Shen Lin's expression sank at that humane reaction.
Whether it is a ghost slave or a fierce ghost, even a conscious ghost can only imitate human behavior and expressions. Ghosts are ghosts and cannot understand humans after all.
But Shen Lin saw the human side in these people's eyes, and for a moment he felt that these people were still alive.
Orion's records echoed in Shen Lin's mind again. He only stayed here for one day, and the outside world lasted half a year.
Half a year is equal to one day, if this ghost really has this ability.
So since Dongwang Village disappeared in 1947, it has only been 146 days after 73 years. It is entirely possible for these people to be alive.
Shen Lin was tortured in his heart, how likely it was that a large number of living people could survive for 146 days in the ghost realm of evil spirits.
There was no answer to this question. If Shen Lin was forced to give an answer, he would never believe that so many people could survive safely in the ghost realm for 146 days, a full half a year.
Ghosts are ghosts, let alone ghosts at the level of Dongwang Village. The probability that these people are still alive is infinitely close to zero.
Therefore, these people in front of me are already dead, why they still seem to be alive is incomprehensible.
Shen Lin quietly opened the ghost realm and had only a brief contact with the villagers in front of him, but he came to an even worse conclusion.
Under the cover of the second-level ghost realm, the feedback message given to him was.
These people are alive! He could even feel his breathing and heartbeat in the ghost realm, which was simply terrifying.
At the T-junction at the end of the village road, there were several roads extending from each other. Dongwang Village was obviously quite large. Shen Lin saw several branch roads at each intersection.
"What to do now?" He Tu looked at the surrounding residents with complicated eyes. Before coming, he repeatedly confirmed with Shen Lin that this was a ghost village that had disappeared for decades. Everyone here might be a ghost, but the villagers Their overly simple looks and expressions are really hard to tell. You can't imagine what they are looking at with such simplicity and simplicity, and they don't even complain much about life. This makes people feel even more mixed.
"We'd better search all the roads in the village. It's best to explore what's outside the village and find the problem in Dongwang Village as soon as possible." Zhang Yuan looked around and whispered. His mood was not much less complicated than He Tu's. , and even more serious. A young man who has not experienced much in the world and has a wealthy family. Before encountering the evil ghost, the biggest trouble he encountered was the school gangster. Although he is very smart, you cannot expect him to be very good at dealing with the world at this stage. experienced.
The team's elite performance was too much. Ji He tried hard to show off his special skills so that he would not look so redundant. But after trying hard, he made no other moves except pretending to nod calmly. He couldn't say "fuck you". nb.
He was a bit of a failure when he was just starting out, not giving Teacher Ji much room to develop. Ji He felt very melancholy.
"Let the explorers go in advance and find a villager who can talk to us first. We have to find a way to make these villagers familiar with us first, at least not to reject us." Shen Lin said with a calm expression.
"Is there any special reason for this?" Zhang Yuan did not refute. He was even happy to carry out Shen Lin's orders. When he was at home, he heard Xu Fang's glorious deeds of surrendering Shen Lin. Among them, one of them was very important. Obviously, in most cases, Shen Lin is right. He seems to be a born ghost controller, and he is like a fish in water during the incident.
"There is a very special incident in the headquarters files, code-named Huanggang Village Incident. I'm afraid you have all heard of the ghost in this incident. The now-famous S-class terrorist incident is code-named Ghost."
"The prototype of the Huanggang Village incident is a village shrouded in a ghost realm. What's strange is that everything in that village is transformed into the ghost realm of evil spirits. Unresurrected evil ghosts are creating some scenes like instinct."
"The current situation in Dongwang Village is very similar. We don't know whether it is man-made or caused by the laws of evil spirits. In short, everything in front of us is most likely the ghost domain of evil spirits. Everything here may be evil ghosts, including these The villagers, they are a whole.”
"We need to blend in as much as possible and not be too obtrusive. Otherwise, too many villagers will notice us and we will be out of place and become a special point in the entire ghost world. We will be close to death."
