Chapter 255 Guess

Night falls.

Chen Lin and Luo Ziwen stood together on a hill not far from the village, looking at the village in the distance.

According to what the other party said, the weird scenes here only appear at night. During the day, it is really just an ordinary village. The houses are also ordinary houses, but the people who come out are different every day.

But it was dark now, and he didn't notice any difference from daylight.

"How about it, do you want to go and explore with me?"

Although Luo Ziwen claimed to have narrowly escaped death twice, he still looked eager to try, as if he could get some benefits in the house.

Chen Lin shook his head and said: "My junior is weak, so I'd better not take risks now. If my senior wants to go, it doesn't matter."

Although the other party told him a lot, he always felt that the other party was hiding something.

In such a strange place, a slight error in information could mean the difference between life and death. It might even be worse than not knowing anything at all, so he only used the other party's words as a reference. He still had to explore the situation himself.

Luo Ziwen glanced at Chen Lin, "Fellow Taoist, his blood is as majestic as his substance. He should be a person who has accomplished physical training. His strength is no less than that of the Golden Core Realm. You and I can be friends as equals."

After clicking, he took out a bamboo hat from his storage bag and put it on his head, and said, "Since Fellow Daoist Chen doesn't want to go, then Luo will go alone. I hope you and I can meet again tomorrow!"

After saying that, without waiting for Chen Lin to react, he went straight to a wooden house and flew over!

Chen Lin watched quietly without any expression.

It would be great if the other party is willing to explore, so he can observe the situation outside and learn more about it.

As for the benefits, he doesn't need it. Now, except for things that can make up for the origin of the soul, he is not interested.

Chen Lin just stood there, looking at the village motionless until dawn.

But I didn't notice anything wrong, except for the deathly silence.

The sound of a rooster's dawn sounded, and the whole village immediately came to life.

The sounds of conversations, dogs barking, and children playing were heard.

The doors of every house were pushed open, those carrying firewood were carrying firewood, and those sweeping the yard were sweeping the yard. Soon, smoke rose from everywhere, and the smoke mixed with the fragrance of food floated into Chen Lin's nostrils, making him feel the smoke and fire in the world.

However, his expression became more and more solemn, and his eyes were fixed on the wooden house.

Luo Ziwen didn't come out!

After staring for almost half an hour, a woman wearing an apron opened the door and started cooking with firewood.

Nearly an hour passed, and after still not seeing Luo Ziwen's figure, Chen Lin stretched his body and walked slowly towards the village.

The village is just like yesterday.

Chen Lin did not go to explore the wooden house that Luo Ziwen entered, but walked all the way to the door of the old man's house where he met the smoking pipe yesterday.

There was no one at the door.

After hesitating for a moment, he cleared his throat and shouted loudly: "Is there anyone here, please ask for a bowl of water!"

Crunch!

The wooden door was pushed open, and a plump woman came out.

She looked at Chen Lin and asked doubtfully: "Which village are you from? How come I haven't seen you before?"

Chen Lin's eyes flashed slightly and he asked tentatively: "I'm not from nearby, but I came from a far away place. I'm a little lost. Madam, does she know how to get out of here?"

A look of confusion appeared in the woman's eyes, and she said, "I don't know about this, but it is said that there used to be an ancient bridge here, which seemed to lead to the outside."

Ancient bridge?

Chen Lin's mind moved, and he remembered that the old man seemed to say he was from Guqiao Village yesterday.

Thinking of this, he immediately asked: "I wonder which village Madam is from?"

The woman smiled charmingly when she heard this and said: "My mother's family is from Yushu Village. I have been married to Guqiao Village for more than ten years. A strong man can come here from a distant place. Could he be a ranger? What is the scene like outside? Can you talk to me?"

After speaking, there was a look of expectation on his face, as if he was yearning for the outside world.

It turned out to be an elm spirit.

Chen Lin murmured in his heart when he heard the other party announcing his family name, but he also learned some information. Everyone in the 'village' here knew each other, and they could also intermarry.

"Who!"

Chen Lin was about to ask for more information when he heard a sick man walking out of the house. When the man saw him, he immediately said with an angry face: "Where did this wild man come from? He actually seduced my wife!"

After that, he grabbed a wooden stick by the door, rushed up and hit him.

Chen Lin did not expect such a situation to occur and was shocked.

But he immediately discovered that the opponent's attack was unstructured and without any energy fluctuations. He gently reached out and grabbed the wooden stick, and no matter how hard the opponent tried, he could not pull it back.

The plump woman did not help. Instead, she looked at Chen Lin's strong muscles with watery eyes. Chen Lin's eyelids jumped at the sight. He knocked the wooden stick away with a shake of his hand, then turned and left.

"Don't you, Mr. Lang, want to drink water? Why don't you drink it?"

The woman's greeting came from behind, followed by the man's angry shouting, and then the sound of the two arguing.

Chen Lin's brows knitted together. It was hard to relate this situation to the weird scene Luo Ziwen mentioned. It was just an ordinary farmer's family.

He took another look at the wooden house where Luo Ziwen entered. At this moment, the door of the house was closed, and he still did not see the other party's figure.

This made him embarrassed.

After thinking about it, Chen Lin once again took up the spirit boat and flew away into the distance.

This time he checked every place here, and only after confirming that there was really no way to leave, he came back to the front of the woman's yard just now.

The quarrel between the two has ended. The woman is sitting under the eaves with her legs crossed, while the man is fanning her with a fan.

Seeing him appear again, the woman immediately stood up with a smile on her face, while the man became even more angry.

But Chen Lin ignored the two of them and took action boldly!

The two of them were knocked unconscious without any resistance. Chen Lin looked around, then took out the crow puppet and controlled it to fly into the house.

Soon, the crow puppet flew out of the house and landed in Chen Lin's hand.

The house was very simple, and there was nothing particularly noteworthy, and the old man smoking a pipe was not seen.

Seeing this, he hesitated for a moment, held the unconscious two people under his armpits, cast an illusion to hide their figures, and flew straight out of the city.

Still on the same hill as before, Chen Lin put the two of them down and woke up the woman first.

"Strong man, spare your life!"

Seeing the surrounding environment, she thought Chen Lin was going to kill her. The woman finally lost her previous charm and began to cry and beg for mercy.

Chen Lin looked at the other person for a while and said indifferently: "I ask you to answer. As long as you don't lie, I will naturally let you go back. But if you don't tell the truth, then don't blame me for being rude!"

After threatening him, he asked: "Yesterday I saw an old man smoking a pipe at the gate of your courtyard. Who is that to you? Where has he gone?"

"What old man?" The lady stopped crying and looked confused.

Chen Lin frowned and snorted coldly: "Why, you still want to hide it, I saw it with my own eyes yesterday!"

After speaking, he stared at the other person's face to check his reaction.

The woman was so frightened by the aura released by Chen Lin that she shivered. It took a long time before she suddenly remembered something and said, "I remembered it. The hero was talking about a man wearing a ragged mandarin jacket with a black mole on his nose. The old man who put his cigarette pouch on the sole of his shoe?"

Chen Lin raised his eyebrows and said, "Yes, what is your relationship? Where is he now?"

The woman swallowed and said in surprise: "The person the hero mentioned should be my father-in-law, but he has been dead for more than ten years!"

At this point, she trembled all over, hugged her shoulders and said in panic: "Could it be that he came to me for revenge? No, it's impossible, don't look for me, don't look for me, I didn't do anything!"

After asking for a while and finding out nothing, Chen Lin knocked the woman unconscious and woke the man up.

After interrogating him in the same way, he basically agreed with what the woman said.

This made him increasingly doubtful.

According to the two of them, the old man died yesterday, and he had been dead for more than ten years.

If the dead are resurrected, then the situation here is different from the previous speculation. It does not seem to be a regular scene like the nightmare world, but more likely to be a ghost-like existence!

Moreover, the two people in front of them may not be living people, they may also be ghosts, but they were briefly resurrected for some unknown reason.

Because after interrogation, it was found that their memories were fragmented, and the contents were kept over and over again, seemingly fixed at a certain node.

After knocking the man unconscious again, Chen Lin sent the two men back and interrogated several other people in the yard. The situation was similar.

Then he observed in the village.

When it was almost dark, he discovered another situation, that is, the people here, whether they were in the yard or children playing outside, had been doing fixed things in fixed positions, and they were not interacting with each other. Don't interfere.

Only with the intervention of his external force can new changes occur.

But even if he puts people from one courtyard into another courtyard, the two parties will only exchange surprises for a while, and then return to their own scenes.

This further confirmed his previous guess that the people here should be dead, but were briefly resurrected by a mysterious force, repeating the scene before their death.

But it also frightened him even more.

What kind of existence can make dead people resurrect as normal people, without any death energy at all!

Moreover, what is the purpose of these people being constantly resurrected?

Chen Lin didn't know if his guess was correct, but no one could discuss it with him now, so he had to continue experimenting on his own.

He once again took the plump woman and the sick man hostage, took them to the hill outside the village, and then quietly waited for nightfall!
