Chapter 0312: Don’t knock on the door in the dark
After walking out of the valley, the cell phone signal completely disappeared, and the electronic compass that Chen Ge had downloaded in advance also lost its effect.
He always felt that the world on this side of the valley was not quite the same as the outside world, probably because he often dealt with ghosts and monsters, so he was more sensitive to certain things.
Looking upward through the gaps in the tree branches, the stars and moon were nowhere to be seen in the night sky, it was like an impermeable cloth covering the top of his head, and the further he walked, the more panicked he felt.
”Be careful, we’re almost there.”
After walking for another ten minutes, Chen Ge and the others finally drilled out of the woods.
Looking up, the scene in front of them surprised every one of them.
”Is that …… a lantern?”
Old Wei touched Master Bai’s arm, but it was Master Bai’s own first time coming 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’ll go ahead, you guys follow me, don’t stray too far away.”
The three of them entered the middle of the mountain depression, and the vague outline of the building in front of them gradually became clear.
In the depths of the mountain where people were rare, there was actually such a village hidden.
All the buildings were in the style of a few decades ago, desolate and dilapidated, but the weird thing was that a white paper lantern hung in front of every house.
The ghostly light seemed like a white eyeball, hovering on both sides of the dirt road, staring at the three outsiders.
There was someone in the village!
This village that was deserted decades ago due to the plague still had people living in it until now.
”Master, shall we go in directly?” Old Wei walked to Chen Ge’s side, he still remembered Team Yan’s order that the main task tonight was to protect Chen Ge.
”Let me think about it.” Looking at the empty village, and the white paper lanterns hanging all over the village, moncler outlet online Bai’s palms involuntarily broke out in cold sweat: “I used to come here during the day with my father, I really didn’t know that the coffin village looked like this at night.”
With a bitter smile on his face, the meaning expressed by Master Bai was already obvious, he didn’t want to go in.
Among the three of them, only he had entered the coffin village before, he was clear about the weirdness and horror there, during the daytime it was still like this, going in at night would be a disaster?
”Can’t be in a hurry, let’s stabilize our position first.” Old Wei patted Chen Ge’s shoulder after he finished speaking, “How about we check around the village first?”
Chen Ge didn’t answer Old Wei’s question and stood alone at the end, his expression made both Bai Da Shi and Old Wei a bit puzzled.
”What’s wrong with you?” Old Wei was worried about Chen Ge, although he also felt that Chen Ge was sometimes reckless, he had to admit that standing next to Chen Ge was the most secure in front of this big mountain ghost village.
”I’m thinking about a problem.” Chen Ge waved his hand and looked down at his black cell phone again.
As they walked near the deserted village, Chen Ge’s black cell phone vibrated and he received a new alert message.
”Surviving Knightly Ghost Favored One! Congratulations on finding the Living Coffin Village deep in the mountains, do you accept the 3-star Horror Scene – Living Coffin Village Trial Quest!”
”Say what problems you have, and we’ll all help you analyze them together.” Old Wei and Grandpa Bai both gathered around.
”No need, I’ve already thought it through.” Chen Ge clicked the screen and chose OK to accept the mission.
”Living Coffin Village (Scream Index 3 Stars): survive until dawn within the Living Coffin Village to unlock a brand new scene.”
”Quest hint: On that day, they all came except me.”
Remembering the quest hint, Chen Ge put away his black cell phone and looked towards the Living Coffin Village in the darkness.
”Let’s go, go in and take a look.”
”Why don’t you reconsider?” Old Wei grabbed Chen Ge’s arm and gave Master Bai a wink, hoping that Master Bai would persuade Chen Ge together, but unfortunately, it was too dark for Master Bai to see it.
”I’ve thought it over.” Chen Ge’s consideration was completely different from the consideration that Old Wei said.
”You two don’t argue, it’s okay to go into the village, the people in that village may look strange, but their hearts are quite good.” Grandpa Bai had come into contact with the people of Coffin Village, and at this point, he was the most vocal.
”Grandpa, are you sure these people who light white paper lanterns at night have good hearts?” Old Wei was considered the most sensible of the three.
Grandpa Bai touched the jade pendant on his collar as if he remembered something from long ago, “My father told me that there is a group of poor people living in that village, and if I have success in studying medicine in the future, I can go and help them.”
Chen Ge possessed Yin pupils, and when he swept over Master Bai’s jade pendant, his eyes actually felt a hint of pain.
However, that pain came and went quickly, and he wouldn’t have noticed it if he wasn’t more sensitive.
”Master Bai, that jade pendant around your neck was left behind by your father?”
”En, my father wore it all the time when he went outside to practice medicine, until the last time he came back from the Living Coffin Village, he gave this jade pendant to me, and then he fell ill.”
”It seems that this jade pendant is not ordinary.” Chen Ge was eager to study it, he had dealt with ghosts and monsters a lot and had gone searching for something similar that could have an effect on ghosts and monsters, but unfortunately, after searching for a few weeks, he only managed to get a pig-killing knife.
”My father said that the jade pendant can’t be touched by outsiders, and it won’t work once outsiders touch it.” Master Bai should be telling the truth: “This jade pendant can’t protect you guys, so it’s best if you all stay with me tonight.”
”Old Uncle, what else did your father say to?” Old Wei inquired, “We’re about to enter the village here, you can’t hide anything.”
”Nope, he just told me that no matter where I go, I have to have a clear conscience in everything I do, and that people are good and ghosts are not deceived.” When moncler outlet online Bai said this, Chen Ge understood even more why he would be all about helping the two Jiangling sisters, this moncler outlet store family felt good.
”That makes sense, but ghosts, like people, are divided into evil and good ghosts.” Chen Ge had always had his own reasons for dealing with things, insisting on the “goodness” that belonged to him.
The three of them first spared a circle around the periphery of the Living Coffin Village, which was very large, and the only way to get a clear view of the village was to climb the big hill next to it.
”There are estimated to be hundreds of people living in this village, don’t clash with them when you go in later.” Master Bai was mainly explaining to Chen Ge, “Let’s just go in through the village entrance, there’s no need to cover up.”
The three of them followed the dirt road at the entrance of the village and entered the middle of the Living Coffin Village.
The road was covered with weeds, the wooden doors of the houses on both sides were closed, and what was even weirder was that they didn’t put door gods on the doors of their houses, but white inverted blessings, which looked very }human.
”This place feels like all the customs are the opposite of the living.” Chen Ge stopped at the entrance of a certain old mansion, “Should we go in and take a look?”
”It’s not good to go in directly, right?” Old Wei’s hand pressed down on the sidearm at his back, this place brought him a lot of pressure.
”We’re here to look for the child, sooner or later we’ll have to come into contact with the people in the village, so I guess we’ll have to trouble Master Bai to deal with them later.” Chen Ge raised his arm, and when his hand was about to touch the wooden door, the white paper lantern hanging over the door of this household suddenly went out.
