Under the leadership of Zheng Xuan, everyone hurriedly arrived at the entrance of the village and rushed into the village before 12 o'clock.
In fact, just like when I was observing outside the village earlier, when I came to the entrance of the village and took a closer look, I saw that the overall scale of the place called Guiyun Village was indeed small. If it were not blocked by private houses in the middle, people with good eyesight could even see it at a glance.
You can see from the village entrance to the end of the village. In addition to the remote location, the village is almost entirely filled with low and dilapidated thatched houses. Directly in front is a wide street connecting the village entrance.
Maybe it happened to be lunch time, and maybe most of the villagers were eating at home. When they entered Guiyun Village, there were not many villagers on the street, only a few young children playing together and
A few free-range chickens and ducks were looking for food on the roadside, and not far away there was an elderly man fetching water from the well.
He was an old man, he looked to be in his early 60s, wearing patched and shabby clothes. When he saw a group of strangers coming at the entrance of the village, the old man put down his pole and greeted them with several nearby children who also gathered out of curiosity.
Everyone.
When he came to the front, especially when he saw the people's clothes, the old man looked at the strangers in front of him with extremely surprised eyes. His cloudy eyes swept over the people one after another. It was obvious that he was shocked by the modern clothes of these men and women.
Here he is, or he has never seen such a dress in his life. These clothes are not only strange to wear, but also match well, especially the two young girls. Not only are they brightly dressed, but they are also fair and beautiful. For a moment, the old man
He was just as dumbfounded as the other children.
"Ahem!"
It wasn't until He Fei coughed that he was enlightened, and the old man who was awakened by the sound suddenly realized that he had lost his temper. After a slight hesitation, he opened his mouth to ask a few people in a suspicious tone: "What are you doing in Guiyun Village?"
Important matters? Also, you are..."
Seeing the other party asking, He Fei thought that Zheng Xuan, the captain, would take the initiative to answer. Unexpectedly, when he looked at Zheng Xuan out of habit, he saw that the beautiful woman was also glancing at him.
The college student was slightly stunned, but he soon understood what the other party meant. He didn't expect that Zheng Xuan was gesturing for him to come forward to answer the question, and he didn't expect that the other party would think so highly of him that he would actually let him, a newcomer, come forward to answer.
Although he couldn't guess what the other party meant for the moment, He Fei didn't dare to neglect when the female captain signaled. He immediately stepped forward with a smile and replied to the old man: "Hello, old man, um... we, uh, we are
An antique dealer from the city heard that there were antiques for sale in the village, so he came over to take a look."
It is conceivable that because he had no psychological preparation in advance, He Fei was unable to answer the old man's question. After all, he couldn't directly tell the other party that his group of people were not executors of this world, right? Fortunately, he had a good brain.
It rotated extremely fast, and in an instant, it had made up a seemingly reasonable lie for everyone.
"Hmm? Antique?"
As expected, the old man was slightly startled when he saw that the other party claimed to be an antique dealer, and also a city dweller. He temporarily put aside the question of the other party's strange dress, and continued with a puzzled face: "Antiques? Why haven't I heard about the village?
Got any antiques?”
"By the way, who told you that there are antiques in the village?"
(Damn, this old man still wants to break the casserole and ask the truth!)
Sure enough, when the other party continued to ask, He Fei felt a little confused as to how to answer. However, as mentioned above, the college student was smart and still hesitated for a moment. The next second, He Fei quickly gave a reasonable answer:
"It was the two brothers Qiao and Daqiao from your village who told us. We were originally collecting goods in a nearby town. We met them by chance on the way and were told that there were goods in the village. Why don't we come and take a look? As the saying goes, you hide antiques in prosperous times and buy gold in troubled times.
, although these years are not considered prosperous, won’t the antiques be valuable when the troubled times pass, don’t you think this is true?”
"Oh, by the way, do you have any interesting things at home, uncle? If so, let's take a look. As long as there are some years, we will buy them at a high price and you will not suffer any loss."
At the same time, when He Fei was talking to the old man, behind him, except for Zheng Xuan who nodded slightly, Zhao Haili, Zhou Bin and Zhang Hu all looked surprised. It was obvious that none of them expected that this newcomer who was performing a supernatural mission for the first time was actually in front of them.
So stupid? As soon as we met, not only could he instantly answer questions that ordinary people and even they could not answer quickly, but he also talked about it without stopping. This, this is telling lies with open eyes, this is obviously deceiving.
!
Of course, leaving aside the fact that Zhang Hu and the others secretly 'admired' the deception ability of college students, when they learned that this group of self-proclaimed antique dealers were actually introduced by the two brothers Qiao Da, the old man's curious expression just now quickly disappeared.
Instead, his expression changed slightly, and he even became worried for everyone. Yes, outsiders may not know it, but having lived in the village for nearly a lifetime, I understand better than anyone else what the two Qiao brothers are dealing with. In addition, the place where I am
The village itself...
Next, the old man said nothing. Instead, he glanced at He Fei and others and then turned back to chase away the children on both sides.
"Go, go, go, just play, there's nothing to see!"
After scolding all the children around him, confirming that there was no one else on the street, and observing the surrounding environment, the old man looked at everyone with a solemn expression that he had never seen before, and then said to He Fei and others who looked puzzled.
Say something:
"Guys, judging from the way you are dressed, you should all be rich people. The old man doesn't care whether you are antique dealers or not, and he doesn't ask what the purpose of your coming here is. However, the old man still advises you to leave as soon as possible. The sooner the better.
, this Guiyun Village...is not the place you should come to."
Um?
Obviously, although those who can survive in the cursed space are not necessarily smart people, they at least have a certain level of understanding. As soon as the old man finished speaking, except for He Fei, whose expression changed slightly, most of the others behind him were also confused.
This seemingly inexplicable sentence made my heart tense. If you had not met Qiao Da Qiao Er outside the village earlier, you might not understand this sentence very well, but it is different now. With the Qiao family before
The experiences of the two brothers, and now coupled with the old man's words full of warning...
In an instant, He Fei frowned like Zheng Xuan, especially He Fei who was in charge of the conversation. As soon as the old man finished speaking, the college students who were aware of it couldn't help but think of something.
That is to say, Zheng Xuan once said something simple and easy to understand to herself as early as on the train, that is, if you want to find a way out of a supernatural mission, you often have to rely on the executor to actively search and explore. Only when you get enough clues can you find the way out.
The process is definitely not safe, and the bugs hidden in the mission will often become more and more crazy as the mission time goes by, and the killings will become more obvious and frequent!
To put it more bluntly, it can be understood that the wolf will kill people 100% of the time, and the frequency of the wolf's attacks will be higher the closer to the end of the task, and the only chance of the executor is to get as far as possible before the wolf appears or even kills himself.
Grasp enough clues until you find a way out.
According to Zheng Xuan's personal guess, this should be a balancing mechanism of the curse against the supernatural mission. The closer the mission time is to the end, the intensity and number of attacks on the executor will be higher and higher. The reason why he follows this principle is from
As for the curse itself, it is a kind of rule restriction that is specially imposed on ghosts in order to balance the difficulty of the task and leave a chance for the executor. But again, this restriction does not always exist. The closer to the end of the task time limit, the more the rules will affect the ghosts.
The limit will become smaller and smaller until the limit disappears completely.
Although it is undeniable that spending time to survive until the end of the mission is also a way, but for He Fei personally, he has already been disappointed with this experience after having experienced the small town of Crosso.
If this is the case, then the question arises, what is it that everyone lacks most at present?
There is only one answer.
Clues! They, the executors, are seriously lacking clues. Without clues, they can’t find a way out. Without clues, they can only wait to die like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, waiting for the tiger to kill them!
only……
Judging from his appearance and his words, the old man seemed to have no ill intentions, and his words were also full of warnings. He was right to say so, but why didn't the old man say it clearly?
Sure enough, seeing the old man's solemn expression and vague words, although he still couldn't figure out why the old man was acting like this, after confirming that the other party had no ill intentions, He Fei also asked with a solemn expression and tone: "Old man, what do you mean by this? Can you?
Can you speak more clearly?"
"Hey, Uncle Chen, what are you doing? Huh? There are guests in the village?"
Unexpectedly, just when He Fei was trying to get to the bottom of things and find out the answer, before the old man could answer, a rather loud man's greeting came from nearby.
Hearing the sound, everyone turned around subconsciously and saw a male villager walking from the alley on the right. He was similar to the people they had seen so far. The man walking from the opposite side was also dressed as a typical country villager during the Republic of China. This man was tall.
He was not tall, had a thin and somewhat wretched appearance, and looked to be in his 30s. Xu had just finished eating and was walking at the entrance of the village when he saw a group of strangers in front of the old man. Out of curiosity, the man walked over without saying a word.
After seeing everyone at close range, the man's expression was stunned. Similar to the old man before, the man was also attracted by the strange costumes of the men and women in front of him, but there were some differences. Through observation, at least in He Fei's eyes, he could detect the other person sizing him up.
In addition to being surprised and curious, everyone seemed to have a hint of greed in their slightly thin faces and eyes. When they looked at Zheng Xuan and Zhao Haili, they seemed to have swallowed saliva in their throats.
"Uncle Chen, who are these?"
After observing, the man suddenly realized something, and hurriedly turned to ask the old man whom he called Uncle Chen. However, strangely, he saw the thin man coming in front of him.
Uncle Chen, who advised everyone to leave the village as soon as possible, changed his expression.
He became panicked and at a loss, as if he was afraid of the man in front of him.
