After taking a day off, on the evening of the 7th day, the time is 9.00 pm, and the moon rose into the sky right on schedule.

A group of 12 people checked their weapons and held them in their hands, waiting. The eyes of the Level 6 team are firm. Except for Qin Tan, all 4 members of the Level 1 team looked panicked. Although Chen Shuyang is also a little scared, he kept encouraging himself inside. Lou Fan moved his arms around and tried his best to keep his movements ready as usual. As for Chen Shuyang’s book, He Yong is also not clear about the usage. The people in Lazuli have various weapons, even if they are similar, the usage is not the same.

Taking a deep breath, He Yong opened the door and stepped out, and everyone behind him also went out. The remaining 8 newcomers watched as the group walked into the darkness and shut the door tightly behind them.

“Why does it feel like it’s getting chilly here as soon as they leave?” A girl touched her arm, crying.

The other girl tightened her arm, eyes looking everywhere, “Don’t talk nonsense. Let’s go in and close the door. Those, those things can’t get in.”

The remaining 8 people rushed into the house like frightened birds, afraid to be the slower one to get into the house.

The moon tonight does not seem to be as bright as the previous few days. Fortunately, the Level 6 team is well prepared and there are enough flashlights. Everyone gets one, which they will take turns to light up the way. The back mountain is not very far away. They already explored the path during the day, and it takes about 20 minutes to walk there. Even if it is dark and they walked slowly, they should see the destination in 30 minutes at most. Lou Fan raised the watch on his wrist and looked at the time. They have been walking for nearly an hour and still haven’t seen anything. There are dark shadows occasionally attacking them on the road but they are easily resolved by the Level 6 team. They don’t look sorry like how Lou Fan and Qin Tan were yesterday. Even if they lost some time due to this, Lou Fan still felt faintly wrong.

Lou Fan pulled Qin Tan who was walking next to him, and asked in a low voice, “Did we hit a ‘ghost wall’?”

[鬼打墙 – A phenomenon where one keep walking back and forth in the same place]

Qin Tan nodded and is about to speak when He Yong gestured to make everyone stop, “Something is wrong, we should have hit a ghost wall.”

Unexpectedly, it’s not just him(LF). Lou Fan could see that He Yong is very anxious. Then He Yong took out something from his backpack. He held it carefully and walked to the middle, seriously placing the item on the ground. It is a golden bead, emitting golden light on the ground. As if a rock fell into a lake, a layer of ripples rippled in the air. Next, the scenery in front of them seemed to have been stripped of a layer and become different from before.

Lou Fan looked back and found that they are standing at a distance of about 300 meters from the resting site, and they could even clearly see the bonfire inside.

“Frick, we really hit a ghost wall!”

“It’s like we are just walking on the same spot.”

“Okay, stop scolding, let’s go!” He Yong stopped the rest of them from complaining. He carefully put away the bead and set off again with people.

12.00 am at midnight is not a very good time because the variables are too great. He Yong originally thought that starting 3 hours in advance should be enough but they ended up hitting a ghost wall. Li Xin walked at the end, Lou Fan quickly followed and walked beside her. Lou Fan had beautiful eyebrows. When he smiled, his eyebrows are curved, making him look quite friendly. When he is not smiling, his peach blossom eyes look cold, giving him a temperament that strangers shouldn’t come close.

“Sister Li Xin, what was that item that Team Leader He just holding?” Lou Fan had a gentle smile on his face. “It looks amazing, but his weapon is not that, right?”

Lou Fan has a good attitude and looks good. Li Xin has a good impression of him and is willing to tell him more.

“That’s the ‘equipment’ found by Leader. In addition to the weapons everyone brought in with them, each mission world will have some special items that you could get. Generally speaking, it is related to the task NPC. Completing the task given by the NPC, or triggering a piece of key information can let you get these items. These special items can be brought back to Lazuli to enter the next mission world. As for the usage of the items, some will give hints in a relevant mission world while some you have to experiment and find out yourself according to the rules of the mission world. Maybe these items will save your life in the next world, or you can return to Lazuli to exchange or trade with others.”

Li Xin paused and said, “After returning to Lazuli, the information regarding your next mission will be released 3 days in advance, leaving you with enough time to prepare.”

Lou Fan is surprised to know that things could be done like this. He turned to look at Qin Tan and asked, “Qin Tan, do you know these?”

Qin Tan shook his head, he hadn’t had time to inquire about it. The people he met in his newcomer world are not good and gave him little experience. He survived on his own. After returning to Lazuli, the seniors wanted to recruit him, but he refused. Moreover, he didn’t bring anything back from the newcomer world. He just saw the seniors collecting something so he also collected some. Only then did he exchange some essential items in Lazuli. Since he has nothing left in his hand, he has no way to inquire for intel.

Li Xin smiled, “Meeting us is also good luck for you. There are all sorts of people in Lazuli, and some do all kinds of bad things. Fortunately, Lazuli’s protection mechanism means we cannot harm each other, but you must be careful in the mission world.”

Lou Fan nodded and gratefully thanked Li Xin for her advice. He exclaimed, “If so, then I must collect as much equipment as possible in this mission world.”

Li Xin laughed out loud, “You thought it is as easy as picking Chinese cabbage? Let’s not talk about finding the NPC that triggers the mission, you don’t even know whether your main mission can be completed within the specified time or not. You know, this world is considered a simple world. We can define it as a Level D world, but it took me 5 days to find the key point and this is the lowest level world. The first concern is a matter of time, and the second is a matter of luck. Can you find the NPC that triggers the task? As of now, we have not found any other NPCs except the old man.”

Li Xin sighed and said helplessly, “Equipment is very important, everyone knows this, but whether you have time and luck to search for it is not up to you. Equipment is important, but life is more important.”

Lou Fan didn’t reply right away, he is thinking about something.

Qin Tan took over the conversation and asked, “What do you mean by the world classification?”

Li Xin paused and took a look at Qin Tan before saying, “Lazuli did not give a level division to the worlds. It’s what the seniors came up with among themselves. There is an announcement regarding this in the trade union in Lazuli. You can check it out at that time.”

Lou Fan finally came back to his senses and asked with a frown, “Sister Xin, only the NPC that triggers the task can give us the equipment?” He is very concerned about this question.

Li Xin corrected Lou Fan, “It’s not ‘can give’, but ‘maybe give’. As for whether there is only one way to get equipment, I don’t really know. If you want to find out more about it, someone in Lazuli sells intelligence.” Since it’s selling intelligence, naturally one needs to pay enough remuneration.

Lou Fan sighed and felt that he is extremely poor right now. If so, shouldn’t he dig more potatoes and sweet potatoes and bring them back? But he doesn’t know if anyone wants them in Lazuli. The issue of equipment is listed in one of his most concerned matters. Li Xin also said that the success rate of completing missions is greater and more secure with equipment. Plus, it can even save lives at critical moments, so he has to pay attention to it. Once again made up his mind, Lou Fan must inquire more about the equipment when he returned to Lazuli.

He Yong’s voice suddenly came from the front, and Lou Fan discovered that, at some point, many dark shadows have appeared around them. After breaking the ghost wall, it seemed that a certain balance is broken and these dark shadows surrounded them unscrupulously. Lou Fan knew what kind of monsters are in the dark shadows, so he reminded everyone to deal with it carefully.

No need for Lou Fan’s reminder, the Level 6 team also knew that these shadows are no small fries. They clenched their weapons and stay alert to prevent the shadows from getting close. Not far away is the cemetery area. To reach the tomb of Yu Erniang, it is necessary to pass through this cemetery area. However, the mass of pitch-black shadows makes everyone feel uneasy.

There’s too much of them!

He Yong frowned and felt confused inside. It stands to reason that this is just a simple Level D world, so it shouldn’t be so difficult. Everyone said that every 5th level upwards is a hurdle. When he first arrived here in this world, he was still rejoicing by the level. It turned out that it is really not as simple as he thought. Perhaps it is because their group has leveled up to level 6? But thinking about this now is superfluous. If they can’t retreat, they can only move forward.

“Everyone should be careful. Close attack on the outside and long attack inside, quickly form a circle.” He Yong immediately arranged the positions.

Lou Fan is surrounded inside and he is standing behind Qin Tan. Beside him is a Level 6 team member, and his weapon is a dart. Facing the cemetery ghost, the Level 6 team is under a bit of pressure, so most of the long-range attackers helped them to shave the amount. Lou Fan draws his bow and shoots the arrows without stopping. One arrow after another accurately hits the black shadow, and the shadow disappears without a trace in an instant. Actually, Lou Fan has selfish intentions too. Most of his arrows are helping in Qin Tan’s direction. When there is no emergency on Qin Tan’s side, then only he helps the other side. Fortunately, the shadows are not unlimited. After killing a bunch of them, the pressure on the attackers suddenly dropped.

“It’s really frickin dangerous. Fortunately, the shadows won’t get resurrected. Otherwise, our attacks will be really useless.” The Level 6 team bald man cursed out. Then he turned his head and grinned at Lou Fan, “Hey, your arrows are very good. It’s too frickin accurate.”

Lou Fan didn’t like the man’s vulgar compliments, but it’s still a compliment so he nodded as a response.

Everyone wiped their sweat with lingering fears. The attackers on the periphery of the circle are more or less injured. Those black shadows are not herbivores after all. After everyone took turns applying the medicine, they continued to move towards the back mountain. Qin Tan didn’t suffer any injuries at all and he secretly winked at Lou Fan.

The team slowly advanced towards the back mountain. When they reached the tomb that they had checked during the day, the watch on their wrists indicated that the time is 12.00 am midnight, not a second less. The originally deserted and messy hillside has changed. A ghostly house appeared halfway up the hillside. Yu Erniang smilingly stood at the door, with two plain white lanterns hanging on both sides of the door. The faint firelight is like a group of ghost fire in the darkness. She is wearing a bright red dress. She is not as skinny as Lou Fan saw in the burnt house, but rather beautiful. However, two abnormal blushes on her face and bright red lips make her look a little scary.

Standing in front of the door, Yu Erniang watched the group of people, grinning with a chilly smile. Her exposed hands are bare bones like charcoal, and the voice is cold and lifeless like a puppet, “The guests are here.”

The loud sound at the door awakened all the people in the room, and they ran out to take a look. The person who opened the door is a member of the Level 1 team. Seeing Lou Fan lying on the ground with a bloody arm, the man exclaimed, “There’s a lot of blood, a lot of blood! Are you okay? Are you dying?”

Lou Fan is still panting, and turned speechless from the question, “I’ve been hurt a bit, not dying yet.”

Qin Tan walked over and pulled Lou Fan up to check his wound. The wound is long and deep, and there is a hint of black in the bloody mess, which makes it look a bit scary. Though Lou Fan said he is not dying, but when Qin Tan touched him, he couldn’t help gasping in pain.

Lou Fan’s scary wound is exposed to everyone. He Yong stepped up and asked, “This is…”

Lou Fan smiled bitterly, “I was scratched by a ghost.”

20 people squeezed into the yard and stood there. When they heard Lou Fan say that, they turned silent. Isn’t that thing’s offensive power a little too strong? It’s obvious how one will end up if they get a few more scratches.

He Yong frowned, but said, “I have medicine here. You can take it later. The wound will start to heal when you return to the train. Any injuries will be completely healed in Lazuli, regardless of the severity of the injury. The premise is that you must be still alive when you get into the train.”

This information is not said only for Lou Fan, but also for all newcomers.

Lou Fan nodded, “Thank you, Team Leader He.”

He Yong turned and walked into the house, while Qin Tan supposed Lou Fan to follow in. The medicine works well, but it doesn’t look like modern medicine, it looks more like an ancient medicine bottle. Lou Fan glanced curiously but didn’t ask much.

“Can you tell me what did you two saw?” After He Yong put the medicine that Qin Tan returned into his bag, he clasped his hands and looked at them.

He Yong had a very good attitude and both Lou Fan and Qin Tan hadn’t intended to conceal anything. So they told him everything they saw in the house at the end of the village, without subjective overtones. He Yong’s face worsened as he listened to it. When Qin Tan finished speaking, He Yong’s face looked solemn. After thinking about it for a while, he said, “Based on your description, I guess that Yu Erniang is likely to become a fierce ghost. I remember hearing this story regarding the incident of Luoyang Ancient Village before (in reality). It is said that all of a sudden, the villagers began to die one after another. Some who showed the symptoms of dying will die as quickly as half an hour to a few days later. Maybe it is because of Yu Erniang.”

Lou Fan had never heard of such things, and Qin Tan had never cared about it before this. So both shook their heads to express that they never heard of it.

He Yong sighed, “After tonight, we can conclude that this ancient village is very dangerous at night, but the task can only be completed at night. Tomorrow is the 5th day, and the day after tomorrow is the latest day we must act. We don’t have much time left.”

Both the Level 1 team and the Level 6 team have tasks on them so there is no way to escape from going. But the newcomers only need to get on the train on time. Except for Lou Fan, the young man with glasses and holding a book wanted to follow along. The rest of the newcomers are planning to stay in the house. Someone in the Level 1 team cried out, shouting ‘I’m not going, I don’t want to die’.

If you don’t go to do the task, you’ll die for sure. But if you go, at least there is still a glimmer of hope. From the first day in, some seniors already warned them, don’t try to skirt around from completing the task. They only have one life.

“Goddamnit, just go early and finish the task early! You can’t hide and stay by the side. If you don’t go, you are just waiting for your death!” The bald man who scolded the newcomers at the beginning cursed out. He seemed to have a bad temper, but everything he said is the hard truth.

When everyone has gone back to the house, Lou Fan stopped He Yong and said, “Team Leader He, I suggest that when you are asking questions again tomorrow, please ask why Erniang Yu died.”

He Yong is stunned for a moment. He didn’t seem to understand why Lou Fan wanted to ask this question. He thought for a while and said, “How about this? I’ll leave a turn for you, and you ask the question yourself.”

Lou Fan quickly agreed, it couldn’t be better.

Qin Tan checked Lou Fan’s arm again. The blood had stopped flowing, the medicine is working well. He asked Lou Fan, “You really don’t play games usually? Why do I feel like you are good at this?”

Lou Fan laughed, “Well, if you never ate pork, you have at least seen a pig run, right? My cousin is a master in playing video games. He will recommend games to me whenever he sees me, and will also show the gameplay. I can’t not know.”

Lou Fan didn’t expect either that the gaming experience his cousin used to ‘teach’ him can come in handy so much. This is a matter of life and death. If he can go back to the real world, he must praise his cousin well and thank him for his tireless effort in instilling experience in him.

Because Lou Fan is injured and the two are considered to have paved a way for everyone, He Yong spared them from the night watch. After running around in the middle of the night and getting attacked as well, Lou Fan’s stomach is croaking with hunger and he desperately needed food to comfort his injured arm. He sat on the edge of the fire and waited for Qin Tan’s roasted sweet potatoes.

The boy with glasses held his book as he sat next to Lou Fan. Lou Fan glanced at him. The young man pushed his glasses and proactively said, “Hello, my name is Chen Shuyang. I’m in my 3rd year, a junior.”

Lou Fan nodded and smiled friendly, “Hello, my name is Lou Fan. His name is Qin Tan.” Lou Fan had some impressions of this person. He is the one who said that the radish flower is the ‘Twilight Flower’ before.

Chen Shuyang is not very good at communicating with people. He is a book nerd, and he pushes his glasses unconsciously when he is nervous. “You guys are amazing.”

“You are also very good and know a lot.” Lou Fan said.

Chen Shuyang lowered his head, his voice sounding lonely, “I’m stupid, I’ve never passed any sports assessment. Thinking about it now, it’s really useless to be a scholar, it’s better to run/exercise more.”

Lou Fan is amused by the young man’s words, but it’s not polite to laugh, so he comforted, “Who said that reading is useless? More practice will make you run faster, but books/knowledge are things that accumulate every day. Like you know radish flower, but we don’t know at all.”

Chen Shuyang seemed to be comforted by Lou Fan’s words. He raised his head and nodded, “I also know about the Luoyang Ancient Village. At that time, some experts said that this village may have a genetic disease, which is why they died one after another.”

This young man sure knows quite a lot, Lou Fan thought, he is a bit interesting. After the young man finished speaking, he looked up at Qin Tan and Lou Fan. As if a little embarrassed, and then summoned the courage, he asked in a low voice, “Can you take me with you? I promise to try not to hold you guys back.”

Lou Fan didn’t speak and looked at Qin Tan. Qin Tan said, “You are a newcomer. You can just get on the train as soon as the time is up. Why do you want to go on with the trip and deal with ghosts? You have also seen his wounds.”

Chen Shuyang glanced at the bandage on Lou Fan’s wound and the blood on his face faded completely, making his face look pale. Chen Shuyang closed his eyes and opened his eyes again. His expression is firm as he replied, “I want to go back alive. My parents must be so anxious, and they are still waiting for me. If I can’t adapt to this world, there will be so many worlds after that. It makes no difference whether I die sooner or later. I want to grow up as soon as possible. If you can do it, why can’t I?” Chen Shuyang spoke with much excitement that his face turned red.

Lou Fan smiled encouragingly at him, “You can do it.” This young man must be a good and obedient boy, the kind that parents love.

Qin Tan took a deep look at Chen Shuyang before saying, “Okay, we will take you with us, but we don’t guarantee your safety.”

Chen Shuyang nodded excitedly, reassuringly.

Lou Fan looked at the book Chen Shuyang is holding tightly in his hand and asked curiously, “Your book is your weapon? How do you use it?”

Speaking of this, Chen Shuyang is like a deflated ball. With a frustrated expression, he replied, “I don’t know. It’s completely blank inside, and there are no instructions on how to use it.”

Lou Fan took the book handed over by Chen Shuyang and opened it. There was indeed nothing inside. It was clean, cleaner than white paper. He passed the book to Qin Tan and Qin Tan opened it. After a glance, Qin Tan closed it and said, “Let’s ask Team Leader He tomorrow.”

Chen Shuyang reluctantly put away the book. This book is really worrisome. He felt like even a stick is better than this!

…

When a ray of light appeared on the horizon, the moon disappeared. Since there is no task today (as the main task is to be done at night), He Yong leads the people who are willing to go out to ask the old man while the rest are free to move around. There are 5 people from the Level 6 team, plus Qin Tan, Lou Fan, and Chen Shuyang. A group of 8 people went to pick the radish flower and then went straight to the old man. This old man is a bit like an NPC in the game, and the Level 6 team has been calling him like this. Lou Fan feels that he really just entered a game world, but the catch is he can’t be revived and only have one life.

Holding the flower in his hand, Lou Fan’s mind wandered away. Suddenly He Yong said, “Lou Fan, please ask first.”

“Okay.” Lou Fan returned to his senses. He stepped forward and asked the old man, “Why did Yu Erniang die?”

Lou Fan handed the flower to the old man. The old man took the flower as if recalling a memory, he said, “She is also a pitiful person.”

It turns out that Yu Erniang is born beautiful and had a childhood sweetheart. When she became an adult, the childhood sweetheart went out to work and promised to come back to marry her after earning money. Within 2 years, he returned to marry her according to his promise, and they had a happy and sweet life after their marriage. It is a pity that the good times did not last long. The village has a dry season and the harvest is not good. Her husband could only go out again to earn money. Yu Erniang is pregnant and could only stay in the village. Her husband promised to come back before the child was born.

Although Yu Erniang is born beautiful, she was not liked by her husband’s family. Her sister-in-law is even more jealous and cut back on the food for her. With her husband gone out and no one taking care of her, Yu Erniang gradually loses weight. But she has her child supporting her will in her belly so she didn’t feel any hardship at all. However, things in the world are not that if you don’t cause trouble, they don’t trouble you.

One day, Yu Erniang is awakened in her sleep. When she woke up, there is a disheveled man in her room. Before she could figure out what happened, a group of people rushed into her room. Everyone saw the scene and yelled at her. It is unknown who started it but more people began to push at her. Yu Erniang fell to the ground and blood pooled on the ground, but no one helped her. Everyone backed away while scolding her.

With the child gone, Yu Erniang’s health is even worse, but she persisted. She wanted to wait for her husband to come back. She wants to tell him the truth, and he will believe her. But fate seemed to be really cruel to her. It didn’t take long for the news that her husband has died in an accident to reach her. Yu Erniang is distraught. At this moment, her mother-in-law’s family brought people to the door and scolded her, saying that she is promiscuous, shameless, and an unlucky person that caused their son to die. This is not the end as the villagers felt that she had tainted the village, so they set fire to her house.

The NPC old man shook his head, “Such sin! She won’t let anyone of us go.” Then he walked into the house with his hands behind his back.

Everyone didn’t expect it to be such a story and the NPC also gave additional information. As for how Yu Erniang died, both Qin Tan and Lou Fan made it very clear yesterday. At this point, a complete storyline has appeared. Yu Erniang was burned alive while suffering false accusations and she came back to take her revenge on the villagers. One doesn’t need to think to know that the hostile she would be.

Though Qin Tan already saw what happened to Yu Erniang, his task still shows that it’s not completed yet. It seems that they have to go to the cemetery. Thinking of this, the Level 1 team felt heavy in their heart. A fierce battle is inevitable.

When Lou Fan and Qin Tan head back, they happened to bump into He Yong on the road. The cemetery was near the back mountain and the others are looking for the grave. So, He Yong took 2 people with him to see if they missed any places in the village. Seeing Lou Fan and Qin Tan, he asked, “Did you search in the village? You guys couldn’t find anything?”

The two came forward and Qin Tan told He Yong their findings.

“You mean, we can ask that old man more questions and you managed to ask twice?” Hearing the confirmation, He Yong’s expression turned a bit ugly. He is a Level 6 senior, and yet he didn’t think to ask more, which is a bit embarrassing. He Yong thought for a while, “It’s because I didn’t think properly about it. Let’s call everyone back to discuss it.” Then he returned to the resting site and sent a flare.

“Not saying anything about the situation, acting without authorization, and exhausting the number of questions. Do you understand your position?” The only man wearing glasses in the Level 1 team said in dissatisfaction. He can be seen looking quite dissatisfied with Lou Fan and Qin Tan’s behavior.

Lou Fan replied sarcastically, “I take responsibility for my own life. Moral kidnapping is not a good habit, and we don’t owe you anything. Is it wrong to discuss about the problem we found out with you guys now? Besides, who knows if my whim will be useful? Okay, even if I put this idea forward at that time, would anyone believe this newcomer me? Who could guess that there is a limit on the number of questions? I am not God.”

The man with glasses got rebutted and his face turned blue and white. Even if he knew that they are all newbies in this, he is unwilling to admit that he is wrong. “Newcomers should listen to the experienced senior.”

Lou Fan looked impatient as he said, “Oh, such a sense of superiority.”

The man with glasses wanted to argue more but then Qin Tan stared at him with sharp eyes like a knife. When the man saw that, he suddenly felt that his calf turned soft, and he swallowed the words he wanted to say.

After making such a fuss, the atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward. Seniors do have some sense of superiority, but that’s because they have more experience and the ability to help the newcomers. Hence, they often casually directed the newcomers to do things. It is true that the newcomer has just arrived in this strange world for the first time, but whoever in the real world likes to be given instructions here and there? He Yong glared fiercely at the man with glasses. He(HY) always wanted to have a good relationship with Qin Tan and Lou Fan. What’s more, the aura that Qin Tan exudes just now is stronger than them seniors, and it is faintly murderous. He is well aware of the principle of ‘Fortune knocks once at least at every man’s gate’, and he is not willing to offend someone who seems to have great potential.

“My team members can’t speak nicely, so could you bear it, please? Right now, we should work together to complete the task as soon as possible. The thing that you said earlier, we will ask the old man again tomorrow, and we should think well before asking.” He Yong came forward to diffuse the heat.

Lou Fan is not someone who will keep clinging to a topic. Since He Yong has come out to end the argument, he backed away accordingly and informed them of the 2 questions that he previously asked the old man.

“Yu Erniang’s grave is in the back mountain, and the place where she lived before is located at the end of the village. Qin Tan and I went to check out the house just now. The house was burnt to the ground and nothing is left.” After Lou Fan said that, he gestured at Qin Tan with his eyes.

Qin Tan continued the talk, “Team leader He, I suggest we go out to look for clues at night, maybe we will find Yu Erniang. When I was a newcomer in the previous world, a senior told me that most of the trigger points in the mission world are related to ghosts. It has been 3 days now and we haven’t noticed anything different. So, maybe something will happen at night.”

He Yong thought of this too, but even though he had gone through 6 mission worlds, he still didn’t want to take the initiative to seek out ‘those things’. “Originally, I planned that if we didn’t find anything today, we will take action tomorrow night. Since you raised this point, are you planning to go out tonight?” He Yong turned his head and asked, “Who else would like to act tonight?”

Except for Qin Tan and Lou Fan, the others are silent. They obviously didn’t want to be one to take the first step. Who knows what kind of ghosts they will meet? It’s better if someone other than them takes the lead. No one in the Level 6 team spoke, and no one in the Level 1 team or newcomers wanted to go out.

Lou Fan pulled Qin Tan’s sleeve and whispered, “How about just us two go?”

Qin Tan turned to look at Lou Fan, “Aren’t you a little scared?”

“Who’s scared?” Lou Fan’s eyes widened, “I’m just feeling a little uncomfortable and couldn’t adapt.” He is really not afraid of watching ghost movies. Just that, experience a  live version still makes his heart shudder.

Qin Tan is a little unsure. If there is an emergency, can just the two of them handle it?

“We are really going?”

Lou Fan nodded, “We can’t count on the strength of the newcomers, and the Level 6 team will not take care of us if they encounter problems.”

Qin Tan finally nodded, “Well, then you can hide behind me.”

Hearing that, Lou Fan’s eyes curved up. He found himself a good teammate, Qin Tan is simply ‘Lei Feng’ in person.

Banana:  A selfless dude, check the wiki for more

Qin ‘Lei Feng’ Tan didn’t know that he got issued a ‘good person’ card. They took their weapons and went out. Looking at Lou Fan and Qin Tan from inside the door, there are sympathy, fear, and also gloating (at other people’s misfortune). Lou Fan didn’t pay attention to other people’s gaze while Qin Tan simply doesn’t care.

As the two of them walked on the small road, it felt like a whole different feeling. At this moment, there is silence all around, and they can only hear the sound of their own breathing. The full moon hung in the air, enough to illuminate the ground, but the brightness is no more than 3 meters. Outside 3 meters is a curtain of darkness.

While looking at the surroundings, Lou Fan asked Qin Tan curiously. “Why did you agree to come out with me?” He could see that Qin Tan hesitated earlier.

Qin Tan looked around warily and the Tang sword in his hand glowed brightly. His entire being is in a tight state, like a cheetah that could rush out at any time. “Intuition. And your words make a lot of sense. Besides, we are teammates.” Teammates that acknowledge each other’s ability.

Lou Fan curved his lips slightly, very satisfied with Qin Tan’s answer.

“What about you? Why do you insist on coming out?” Qin Tan asked.

Lou Fan didn’t hesitate and said, “Intuition. I had a feeling that that place is very important. Isn’t it because I’m afraid to waste time? In case we delayed some time to find the grave, then have to spend time to deal with Yu Erniang who may crawl out of the grave. Then, we won’t have time to check out the house (at night) again.”

After speaking, both of them couldn’t help but laugh. They both believed in this intuition.

Their resting site is not far from the end of the village, but the surrounding area gets darker as they go, and the visibility is only 2 meters now. The darkness is like a monster with a big mouth, wanting to swallow them in. The surrounding temperature seemed to have dropped a lot. Even Lou Fan, who is wearing a coat, couldn’t help but wince.

On the other hand, Qin Tan wore a black jacket, which didn’t look too thick. Lou Fan shrank his neck. At this moment, he regretted that only two of them came out. If they have a few more people to huddle with, maybe they will be a little warmer. On a whim, Lou Fan made a pulling motion at his bow. In the darkness, a bright white and transparent arrow appeared in his hand. He pulled it gently, and the arrow burst out into the air. The magical thing is that after the arrow is shot, the surrounding visibility returned to the previous 3 meters, and the temperature seemed to rise a little.

Qin Tan gave Lou Fan a thumbs up, “Great job.”

As they flatter each other, Qin Tan and Lou Fan reached the end of the village smoothly. Even Lou Fan himself felt a little weird that they didn’t meet any supernatural beings on the way.

On the originally burnt piece of ground stood an ordinary-looking house. It is no different from the others. There is a tree in front of the door with luxuriant branches. The only difference is that in this deadly silent village, there is a faint light glowing from inside the house.

Qin Tan made a gesture to let Lou Fan stay where he is while he himself stepped forward and looked in the window. After a while, he turned to beckon Lou Fan. Lou Fan walked forward lightly and leaned on the window to look in. Under the dim light in the room, a plainly dressed woman is sitting at the table, holding a pair of small shoes in her hand, and is concentrating on making the soles of the shoes. She looked a little thin and her clothes looked big on her body, but her shallow face is very gentle.

This should be Yu Erniang.

Lou Fan turned to look at Qin Tan and said silently. Qin Tan nodded at him. Immediately, the scene flashed and changed. The woman’s belly is now slightly bulging, and she stroked her belly with a fond look. One could see that she is very happy. Next, another scene flashed. The woman is sitting at the table with a pale face. She is gripping the table hard, trying to prevent herself from sliding down. Then, a large group of people came into the house, consist of many men and women. Several old women in the lead pushed her around. In Yu Erniang’s hand is a pair of small shoes and she held on to it tightly. Someone made to grab it but was bitten by her severely. Then, she is pushed to the ground and those people kicked and punched her.

Another scene flashed. A raging fire is burning wildly, and there are flames all around. Lou Fan is startled as if he could feel the raging fire licking his skin too. The flames around them blazed into the sky. However, this is just something that Yu Erniang has experienced. She seems to be awakened from her sleep, with her hair scattered loosely and her clothes casually draped. She slapped the door hard, but couldn’t open it. The door is locked.

Lou Fan’s heart trembled. The fire is reflected in his eyes, and the woman in the room is howling desperately. He could not hear the slightest sound, but he seemed to feel the kind of despair. Yu Erniang was burned to death. Lou Fan saw that she is conscious when she is being swallowed by the tongue of fire. She is lying in the corner, curled up and holding something tightly in her arms. That is a pair of tiny and delicate shoes. The tongue of fire completely engulfed her, and as if she has exhausted all of her energy to stand up, she suddenly let out a bleak and desolate scream.

Right after this scream, Qin Tan who is next to Lou Fan suddenly growled, “Not good! Quick, we need to go!”

The scene in front of him suddenly disappeared, Lou Fan recovered to his senses and found that countless black shadows are slowly gathering around them. They are about to be surrounded as the shadows got closer. His arm is pulled tightly, and Lou Fan subconsciously followed Qin Tan to run.

Qin Tan grasped Lou Fan in one hand and quickly waved the Tang sword in his hand with the other. The black shadows are cut apart before they could get closer.

Lou Fan tugged at his arm and said, “Qin Tan, I can run by myself. Don’t be distracted by me.”

A black shadow suddenly leaned in front of Lou Fan, and a head struggled out of the black shadow, looking bloody. Lou Fan is startled by the sight and his pace became slow for a moment. The shadow stretched out a bony hand and grasp Lou Fan’s hand tightly. At that moment, Lou Fan felt a burst of heart-wrenching pain.

PA!

The skeleton hand that is cut off by the Tang sword fell to the ground, and Qin Tan pushed Lou Fan forward, “Quickly, go!”

Lou Fan didn’t dare to be distracted anymore. Suppressing the discomfort in his heart, he drew his bow and his hand quickly repeated the action after shooting. The glowing arrows kept flying towards the shadows. Lou Fan doesn’t need to aim at all, he just needed to repeat it mechanically – there are a lot of shadows.

Seeing that Lou Fan didn’t run, Qin Tan cursed in his heart and accelerated the movement in his hands. The two of them walked faster and faster, and slowly started to trot. Fortunately, they soon can see the resting site in front of them. Lou Fan saw the light coming out of the house and vowed in his heart that he would not be so reckless next time.

“Open the door! Open the door!” Lou Fan yelled. Leaning against the door, the arrows in his bow kept shooting out.

The door is opened. Before the person who opened the door could speak, Lou Fan hastily stepped in and bumped the person down to the ground. Qin Tan followed closely, and the door slammed shut with a backhand. Lou Fan panted. After making sure that those things outside couldn’t get in, he then slid down on the ground.

This is too nerve-wracking!
