Chapter 312 Don’t knock on the door when it’s dark
After walking out of the valley, the mobile phone signal completely disappeared, and the electronic compass that Chen Ge downloaded in advance also lost its function.
He always felt that the world here in the valley was different from the outside world. Maybe it was because he often dealt with ghosts and ghosts, so he was more sensitive to certain things.
Looking up through the gaps in the branches, there were no stars or moon in the night sky, just like an airtight cloth covering my head. The further I walked, the more panicked I felt.
"Be careful, we're almost there."
After walking for another ten minutes, Chen Ge and the others finally emerged from the woods.
Looking up, the scene in front of them surprised each of them.
"That's... a lantern?"
Old Wei touched Uncle Bai's arm, but it was also the first time for Uncle Bai to come to the Living Coffin Village at night.
"I don't know." He took out a piece of jade from his pocket and put it on his neck: "I will go ahead, you follow me, we are too far apart."
The three of them entered the valley, and the blurry outline of the building in front gradually became clear.
Deep in the inaccessible mountains, there is still such a village hidden.
All the buildings are in the style of decades ago, desolate and dilapidated, but the strange thing is that there is a white paper lantern hanging at the door of every house.
The faint light was like white eyeballs, hovering on both sides of the dirt road, staring at the three outsiders.
There is someone in the village!
This village, which was abandoned due to plague decades ago, is still inhabited by people today.
"Uncle, should we go in directly?" Old Wei walked to Chen Ge. He still remembered Captain Yan's order. The most important task tonight was to protect Chen Ge.
"Let me think about it." Uncle Bai looked at the deserted village and the white paper lanterns hanging all over the village. His palms couldn't help but feel cold sweat: "My father and I used to come here during the day. I really don't know what happened at night.
This is what Coffin Village looks like.”
With a wry smile on his face, Uncle Bai's meaning was already obvious, he didn't want to go in.
Among the three of them, he was the only one who had entered Coffin Village before. He knew the weirdness and horror there. If it was like this during the day, how about going in at night?
"There is no rush, let's stabilize our position first." After Old Wei finished speaking, he patted Chen Ge on the shoulder: "How about we check around the village first?"
Chen Ge did not answer Old Wei's question and stood alone at the back. His expression made both Uncle Bai and Old Wei a little unpredictable.
"What's wrong with you?" Old Wei was very worried about Chen Ge. Although he also felt that Chen Ge was sometimes reckless, he had to admit that standing next to Chen Ge at the gate of this mountain ghost village felt the most secure.
"I'm thinking about a question." Chen Ge waved his hand and looked down at the black phone.
When they walked near the deserted village, Chen Ge's black phone vibrated and he received a new notification message.
"Surviving Ghost Favored One! Congratulations on finding the Living Coffin Village deep in the mountains. Do you want to accept the three-star horror scene - the Living Coffin Village trial mission?"
"Speak up if you have any questions, and we will help you analyze them together." Old Wei and Uncle Bai gathered around.
"No need, I've thought about it carefully." Chen Ge clicked on the screen and chose OK to accept the task.
"Living Coffin Village (three-star scream index): Survive in the Living Coffin Village until dawn to unlock a new scene."
"Task reminder: On that day, they all came except me."
Remembering the mission prompts, Chen Ge put away his black phone and looked at the living coffin village in the darkness.
"Let's go in and have a look."
"How about you think about it again?" Old Wei grabbed Chen Ge's arm and winked at Uncle Bai, hoping that Uncle Bai would persuade Chen Ge to stop him. Unfortunately, it was too dark and Uncle Bai didn't see him at all.
"I have thought it over clearly." Chen Ge's considerations were completely different from those mentioned by Old Wei.
"You two don't have to argue. You can go to the village. Although the people in that village look strange, they have good hearts." Uncle Bai has been in contact with people in Coffin Village, and he has the best say at this time.
"Uncle, are you sure these people who light white paper lanterns at night are kind-hearted?" Old Wei is considered the wisest among the three.
Uncle Bai touched the jade pendant on his collar and seemed to remember something that happened a long time ago: "My father told me that there are a group of poor people living in that village. If I succeed in studying medicine in the future, I can go and help them."
Chen Ge had Yin Pupils, and when he glanced at Uncle Bai's jade pendant, he felt a hint of pain in his eyes.
But the pain came and went quickly. If he hadn't been more sensitive, he wouldn't have noticed it.
"Uncle Bai, is that jade pendant around your neck left by your father?"
"Well, my father always wore it when he went to practice medicine. He gave me this jade pendant until he came back from the living coffin village for the last time. Then he fell ill."
"It seems like this jade pendant is extraordinary." Chen Ge wanted to research it. He had dealt with ghosts a lot, and he had also searched for similar things that could affect ghosts. Unfortunately, after searching for several weeks, he only found
A butcher's knife.
"My father said that the jade pendant cannot be touched by outsiders. It will not work if outsiders touch it." Uncle Bai must be telling the truth: "This jade pendant cannot protect you, so you'd better stay with me tonight."
."
"Old man, what else did your father say to me?" Lao Wei asked: "We are about to enter the village, you can't hide anything."
"No, he told me that no matter where you go, you must have a clear conscience in whatever you do, and that no one can be deceived by others." When Uncle Bai said this, Chen Ge understood better why he devoted himself to helping the two Jiangling sisters.
This uncle's family feels good.
"It makes sense, but ghosts are just like people, there are evil ghosts and good ghosts." Chen Ge has always had his own reasons for doing things and insisted on his own "kindness".
The three of them first walked around the outside of the Living Coffin Village. The village was very big. If they wanted to see the whole village clearly, they could only climb up the mountain next to it.
"There are probably hundreds of people living in this village. Don't conflict with them when you enter later." Uncle Bai mainly told Chen Ge: "We will enter through the entrance of the village. There is no need to hide."
The three of them walked along the dirt road at the entrance of the village and entered the living coffin village.
The road was covered with weeds, and the wooden doors of the houses on both sides were closed tightly. What was even weirder was that instead of having door gods posted on their doors, they had white blessings posted on them, which looked very scary.
"It feels like all the customs in this place are the opposite of those of living people." Chen Ge stopped at the door of an old house: "Would you like to go in and take a look?"
"It's not a good idea to go in directly, right?" Old Wei pressed his hand on the gun on his lower back. This place put a lot of pressure on him.
"We are here to find the children. Sooner or later we will have to contact the people in the village. We will probably have to trouble Uncle Bai to come and negotiate with them later." Chen Ge raised his arm and when his hand was about to touch the wooden door, there was a hanging hanging on the door of this house.
