The ghost knocked on the door, luckily I was able to read the save file!

Lin Luo and others followed behind Village Chief Li, listening to him talk about the establishment of their village and the great events that had happened in the past.

His eyes inadvertently glanced at the few people beside him who seemed a little absent-minded, and finally fell on Zhang Yuan.

Compared with Zhao Qian and others who seemed to be in a daze, Zhang Yuan was obviously in a better state. Although his face was not good, he could at least barely communicate with the village chief.

Village Chief Li stopped and pointed to a high mountain not far away and said: "That is the resting place of our ancestors from all generations in our village, and it is also the foundation of our village..."

Unknowingly, they had come to the back of the village.

A wide stream blocked their way. The stream water was clear and the sand and stones at the bottom of the stream were clearly visible.

A stone bridge about two meters wide spanned the stream, connecting the two sides of the stream.

Looking in the direction of the village chief's finger, Lin Luo's eyes suddenly froze.

The scene in front of him made him unbelievable.

There was only a lone mountain behind the village. There were no mountains around the mountain, not to mention a decent mound of earth.

At this moment, Wu Shan and others were also stunned by the scene in front of them.

This, this is really..., too incredible! The scene in front of them was jaw-dropping, as if the earth was cut by a huge knife, leaving a deep mark. And above that mark, there stood a towering mountain, as if it had fallen from the sky.

A lone mountain stood there like an isolated island, surrounded by vast emptiness, with nothing to accompany it.

There was no tree here, not even a decent mound of earth could be found, as if it was a corner forgotten by the world.

"We go to worship the mountain god every once in a while." Village chief Li looked at the lonely mountain in front of him, his eyes full of seriousness and solemnity, and his words suddenly exploded in everyone's mind like thunder.

"Worship the mountain god!?" Everyone was shocked, and subconsciously thought of the terrible custom that Wu Shan mentioned before.

To burn a woman with cinnabar alive to worship the mountain god and pray for the peace of the village, this cruel custom makes people shudder.

Afterwards, the village chief led everyone to visit the village, almost every corner.

Time passed quickly, and it was noon in a blink of an eye.

After lunch in the village, everyone gathered in the small courtyard again.

After lunch, the village chief had to go to the provincial capital for something, so he let them play around by themselves.

Under the osmanthus tree in the yard, Tong Tong's complexion recovered a little, but her words still seemed a little anxious and she said: "Why don't we go to the provincial capital with the village chief?"

She was already extremely afraid of the arrival of the night.

Everyone heard the voice, but no one spoke, and seemed to be lost in thought.

Finally, Wu Shan smiled bitterly and said, "Are you sure the village chief is going to the provincial capital?"

Since he experienced the incident with Li Yuan, he has been afraid of this village, and he doesn't trust these people in the village.

Tong Tong's face froze, and she looked at Wu Shan with some confusion and said, "Didn't he say that himself?"

Looking at the haggard Tong Tong, Wu Shan nodded with a bad look on his face, "He said that himself, but don't forget, they will lie."

Everyone clearly felt a trace of fear and panic in his tone.

After taking a deep breath, Zhang Yuan looked at everyone, and he nodded in agreement, "He said he was going to the provincial capital, but it's not certain."

His words were a bit ambiguous, neither agreeing with Wu Shan nor refuting Tong Tong's words.

"This, what's the problem?" Next to Tong Tong, Zhao Shuang raised her hand to adjust her glasses. She was a little puzzled. It was just a trip to the provincial capital. She really couldn't think of any problem. It wasn't at night.

Lin Luo thought for a moment, and he said, "Going to the provincial capital may be true."

"What?"

Everyone was stunned and looked at Lin Luo in confusion. He said lightly, "Tonight, the eldest sister of the Li family is back. Village Chief Li went to the provincial capital. It is very likely to pick her up."

Everyone's expression changed, and they all remembered this matter.

Tong Tong's face was a little ugly; "They don't want to sacrifice the eldest sister of the Li family to the mountain god, right?" Even if the sun was shining, she couldn't help but shudder.

Everyone's heart sank. This possibility is not impossible.

In the story before Wu Shan, some remote mountain villages still retained some feudal superstitious customs, and using living people for sacrifice was one of them.

If the eldest sister of the Li family was really captured and used for sacrifice, the consequences would be disastrous.Imagine, thinking of this, everyone's mood became heavy, as if a huge rock was pressing on their hearts.

"Shouldn't it be? She is the only college student in their village. Look at their tone, each one is full of..." Zhao Shuang stood beside Tong Tong, her body trembling slightly, her voice carrying a hint of fear and uncertainty.

As a person who has received modern education, she finds it hard to believe that such a thing will happen in real life. However, in this strange village, thinking back to what happened in the morning, facing all the signs in front of her, she has begun to shake her faith.

"Nothing is impossible!" Zhang Yuan suddenly interrupted Zhao Shuang's words, his voice was cold and firm, he looked around, his eyes revealed an inexplicable fear; "You have to know that we are no longer in the previous world. If you haven't adapted to it, the next one to die is you."

Zhao Shuang's face suddenly changed. Looking at Zhang Yuan's cold appearance, she shrank her neck timidly and hid behind Tong Tong.

Seeing this, everyone knew that Zhao Shuang just said it casually and had no other meaning.

"It may not be the eldest sister of the Li family who was sacrificed. It is also possible that we guessed wrong. What if they used pigs, sheep or something else for sacrifice?" Wu Shan's voice was full of luck. He tried to find other possible explanations to alleviate the fear in his heart, but his words seemed so pale and powerless that he could not cover up the uneasiness deep in his heart.

"I don't think we should be struggling with this at the moment." Lin Luo stared at everyone and said thoughtfully: "Didn't you notice a problem?"

Everyone's eyes could not help but focus on Lin Luo again.

"What?" Everyone was curious and puzzled.

Lin Luo glanced in the direction of the bathroom, frowned, and spoke in a heavy tone as if he was carrying a heavy burden: "We are missing one person, but they didn't even ask a question."

Hearing this, everyone's pupils trembled suddenly.

Zhao Shuang looked at Zhang Yuan, who had a gloomy face, timidly, and said hesitantly: "Maybe they didn't notice it?"

Lin Luo couldn't help but sneer, and this laugh was like a sharp sword, piercing everyone's heart: "There are only seven people here! Will they be unable to count?"

Zhang Yuan also reacted, his eyes turned wildly, and he said with a bad face; "I almost forgot this."
