At three o'clock in the morning, there is plenty of sunshine in Dongwang Village.
This was the weirdest thing for Shen Lin. The four of them entered Dongwang Village in the dark at three o'clock in the morning, but as soon as they entered, they saw such a sunny scene, as if the paradise in Tao Yuanming's Peach Blossom Spring actually existed.
Shen Lin went out and walked a few steps along the top of the slope. There were many small alleys on both sides of the slope, filled with houses of villagers. The criss-crossing roads were like an intricate maze. There was always a suitable direction to lead through. Head outside Dongwang Village.
Shen Lin walked along the upper level of the slope and reached the top of the slope in less than two minutes. What he saw was another large area of houses. The houses no longer relied on walls. Shen Lin could clearly see the fields not far away.
The land was uncultivated, and as far as the eye could see, it was a bare patch of land.
Shen Lin couldn't tell what was the reason for the appearance of the wasteland here. The sense of desolation in the ghost realm? Or maybe the Dongwang Village itself during the evolution period of this ghost land was a time when plants were barren.
At the end of the house is a road between two mountains. The mountain is not too high and the road between them is not too narrow. The villagers' years of hard work have made this area full of life. At the end of the road is another village, which is also a loss. Shen Lin's eyes were transformed by evil ghosts, otherwise he wouldn't be able to see all this clearly.
This discovery made Shen Lin's heart sink. He calmed down and walked towards the other village.
When the evil ghost is not controlled, the scale of the ghost domain's self-evolution may be large or small. After all, the scale is meaningless to the unthinking evil ghost.
The small ones are like Huanggang Village of Ghost Chaos, the Anhe Community of Ghost Mother, and the big ones are like Ghost Paintings and Corpse Swamp, which have evolved into a city.
So far, all the descriptions of Dongwang Village come from that Orion. Because he had been to Dongwang Village and only described Dongwang Village, this incident was called Dongwang Village.
This is what Shen Lin needs to confirm now, that is, how wide the scope of this ghost's current ghost domain is.
If there is only Dongwang Village, then their search will be less difficult. If there is another village at the end of this road, then the problem will be big.
Unless he commits suicide and forcibly explores the ghost realm, it will take a long time to explore something simply by manpower. Who knows what will happen then, and there are any possibilities if he stays in the ghost realm for a long time.
The fact that they were able to enter Dongwang Village must have triggered a certain law or condition of Li Gui. As for why they haven't encountered an attack yet, it is most likely that there are still some specific conditions that have not been met, or the particularity of Li Gui's law itself.
The temporary comfort is not enough reason for Shen Lin to slack off. Even if everything around him is as peaceful as spring, he is constantly reminding himself of the horror here.
Shen Lin's steps were very steady, terrifyingly steady. Every step he took, he was observing everything around him, holding his breath and concentrating.
If this is the boundary of the ghost realm, when he tries to touch it, the ghosts are likely to attack.
It was close, very close, the village was almost in front of us, but nothing happened.
The excessive silence made Shen Lin frown, and he continued to move forward, but the scene in front of him made his face look gloomy and scary.
In the village at the end of the road, two rows of earthen houses were neatly arranged on both sides. There were children playing under the locust tree on the right side of the T-junction at the end of the road. The old man at the door took a few puffs of cigarette and smiled kindly at him.
Dongwang Village! He came back here again, but he didn't feel anything. After reaching the sixth level of the ghost realm, Shen Lin had never felt such a creepy feeling.
The qualitative change of the ghost realm reaching the sixth level is enough for him to sense the ghost realm of the corpse swamp, and even allow him to come into contact with the ghost realm of the ghost pawn shop. But here, his sensitive ghost realm seems to have failed, and he is like a toy. play.
At that moment, Shen Lin felt that everything peaceful around him, including the grinning kind old man, was so eerie and terrifying.
Nodding and smiling at the old man, Shen Lin stepped into Dongwang Village again. His expression was heavier than ever before. In the open space on the left, he happened to see Zhang Yuan who was chatting with the old people. It looked like the young and old were harmonious and happy.
Zhang Yuan obviously noticed Shen Lin and came over without waiting long. When he saw that Shen Lin's expression was not right, he realized something.
"what's the situation?"
"I walked along the end of the road and saw a village on the other side of the mountain. I made tentative contact with it, but when I got to the end, I found that the village was Dongwang Village."
This feeling is nothing like standing on the top of the mountain and looking at myself. Maybe there are two selves looking at each other at that moment. This feeling is scary.
"We can't get out of this village, so these people have been living here for so long and haven't noticed anything wrong?" Zhang Yuan asked doubtfully.
"Everything in the ghost realm is weird and reasonable. Maybe in our eyes, everything in the outside world is repetitive, but in their eyes, it is normal. Or maybe, they no longer have the concept of outside the village, and they regard everything that is illogical. They will give reasonable thinking guidance." Horror itself is contrary to common sense, and trying to explain it with normal logic is definitely a big problem here. Shen Lin tried to correct Zhang Yuan's brain circuit.
This is the difficulty of most terrorist incidents. You must have rigorous factual logic, but you cannot follow the rules, otherwise you will box yourself in.
This degree is difficult to grasp, because it is difficult to know when to follow logic and when to act on a whim.
If you don't grasp it well, it's easy to wait for death. If you think too much, it's easy to commit suicide. Most of the dead ghost masters died from this.
"What about you? Did you ask anything?" Shen Lin looked at Zhang Yuan. If everything in this ghost realm is caused by time factors, then the missing people from the outside world should have left traces here.
"No." Zhang Yuan's expression was solemn. Seeing Shen Lin's expression, he was a little confused and reiterated.
"No outsiders have come here in six months to a year, and we were the first wave. I asked at least twenty people, and I got the same answer. Either these villagers are deliberately lying, or, There’s something wrong with their memory itself.”
There were three exploration directions, but two were immediately blocked before waiting.
There is definitely a problem with the villagers' cognition, Shen Lin just doesn't know where the problem lies yet.
This is the first time he has seen such a humanized evolution of the ghost realm. These villagers are really like living people, and the possibility of them lying is extremely slim.
It can be seen that extensive tampering will not leave any traces.
Shen Lin's brain was spinning rapidly, and he was thinking about multiple possibilities.
If the villagers did not lie and their knowledge was also correct, then where did these missing people go?
No, in the description of the hunter, it was obvious that he had contact with these villagers. What exactly was the problem? There were so many vague clues that Shen Lin frowned.
Just one update today, I’m a little tired
