"Excuse me, is there anyone here?"

Shen Qing came to a village. The village was extremely desolate, with no trace of human life.

Along the way, he didn't see a single living person.

Where are the people?

Where did all the people in the village go?

Shen Qing had been to this village in his previous life, and it was no different from a normal village. He also successfully received missions from here.

Although there are a few fewer people in the village, it has never been so sparse.

It is about to become an uninhabited village.

There are no NPCs, who should he find to take the mission?

At this moment, Shen Qing finally understood the distress of the players in Tianfeng City.

Some things can only be triggered by accepting missions. Shen Qing doesn't want to miss out on useful things, and it is best to maximize the benefits.

"Who are you looking for?

A little girl wearing a rainbow jacket and pigtails came out of a house.

She put a finger in her mouth and ate something, smacking her lips.

"Little girl, where are your family members?"

"Where have all the people in the village gone?

Shen Qing looked towards the village again. It was quiet and there was not a single living person in sight.

The little girl tilted her head and pointed to the west.

"They seemed to have all gone to that place, as if planning to burn something?"

"Many people followed to watch!"

""Well, thank you very much!"

Shen Qing thanked the little girl and turned to walk towards the place she pointed.

Girls of this age like to watch the fun the most, so they shouldn't not go to watch the fun. It is unlikely that there is only one person left in the village.

Thinking of the strangeness, Shen Qing turned his head and looked back. The little girl in the rainbow cotton jacket had disappeared.

Shen Qing couldn't help but frowned and looked around.

After searching for a long time

, there was no trace of the little girl. It's impossible. How could a living person disappear from his sight in such a short time.

Shen Qing searched the whole village and found no trace of the other party..

What's going on?

His movement speed is more than three times faster than that of an ordinary person. An ordinary little girl can't walk faster than him!

Shen Qing looked grim. He looked towards the west where the little girl pointed and strode towards that direction.

This is not the real world. He has invincibility and resurrection, as well as a krypton gold shield. What is there to be afraid of!

After walking for less than two minutes, Shen Qing finally saw a figure.

Countless people gathered in front of a fire rack. They could vaguely see a few old clothes scattered on it, as well as a lot of furniture and clothes.

The villagers kept throwing items into the flames.

"What are you doing?"

Shen Qing made everyone in the village alert. They looked at Shen Qing and showed their weapons, as if they were facing a great enemy.

He replaced the Hero's Glory Medal with this item, which could gain extra favor from the NPC.

After seeing the Hero's Glory Medal, the villagers relaxed their vigilance a little.

"So you are a warrior from the Empire. Are you here to help us?"

"We sent out a call for help to the main city, and half a month has passed, and finally someone is willing to help us!"

Shen Qing was so perceptive that he smelled the scent of a hidden mission.

"This is my unshirkable responsibility! Just let me know if I can help you!"

He never complained about the number of hidden tasks, and he would take as many as he could.

For some reason, Shen Qing had a hunch that this matter was most likely related to the little girl before.

He asked the question in his mind.

"Is there a little girl with pigtails and a small rainbow jacket in your village?"

"Have you seen her?"

Hearing the image mentioned by Shen Qing, everyone became uneasy and subconsciously stayed away from Shen Qing, fearing that some ominous thing would infect them.

This attitude further confirmed Shen Qing's previous guess.

"Oh! I didn't expect you'd already met her!"

"The matter we want to entrust you with is related to her.

Shen Qing did not speak, but just listened quietly.

"This story started many years ago."

"There was a plague in our village, and many people died in the village, including Xiaoyao's parents.……"

"From then on, she became an orphan"

"After the plague, the village gave her some assistance. In recent years, the harvest has been poor, and we can barely make ends meet. How can we have the spare energy to help a little girl?"

"Not long after, we found her body, starved to death at the entrance of the village.……"

Shen Qing was silent, which reminded him of the little match girl.

This is a sad story.

"Originally, this was not a big deal. Due to the plague and hunger, more than a dozen people died in the village, and she was one of the insignificant ones."

Speaking of this, the village chief recalled the sad things and his face was desolate.

"The villagers buried her together and thought the matter was over."

"After a few years of peaceful life, the dead Xiaoyao reappeared and berated us for not saving her."

"In the following days, there was no more peace in the village."

"People often get sick, faint, or even fall asleep."

"We tried many ways, but still couldn't solve the problem."

"In order to prevent her from harassing the village further, we searched for and burned everything that might be related to her, hoping to solve the problem."

Shen Qing was sharp-eyed and saw a corpse covered in dirt burning in the flames.

If he guessed correctly, Xiaoyao's grave should have been dug up...

Too tragic...

Shen Qing couldn't bear to watch it.

However, the villagers' actions were reasonable. No one could tolerate a resentful soul constantly making trouble in the village, which could kill people at any time.

"Do you want me to get rid of her?"

"We are not sure if this can solve her problem, so please help us solve the problem in the village."

"Ding, congratulations on triggering the quest"The Lingering Ghost". There is a rainbow-clothed ghost wandering in the village all year round, harassing the villagers. The ghost is lingering, and the villagers are frightened and uneasy all day long. You must find the object of the rainbow-clothed ghost and eradicate it. Quest level: Special, quest period: 1 day, quest reward: 850,000 experience, 100 gold coins, 60 skill points. Do you accept?"

"Accept it!"

Seeing Shen Qing accept the task, the villagers smiled

"Thank you so much. If you can solve the troubles in the village, you will be a great benefactor of our village. We are grateful to you and will not be stingy in rewarding you."

After that, the villagers continued to stay here and make a fire. No one was willing to take Shen Qing back to the village.

This abnormal behavior made people suspicious.
