We walked for so long, but in the end, we ended up back where we started. I don't know if we are going in circles, or - just standing still!
Lin Luo looked at the thick white fog all around, with a trace of thought and helplessness on his face: "It seems that we can only go here. It may be dangerous to go further."
Hearing Lin Luo's words, Zhao Qian looked confused and asked in horror: "What...what do you mean?"
Lin Luo glanced at Zhao Qian, without explaining, and said to himself: "Load the game."
In an instant, the scene in front of him began to blur, and Lin Luo's consciousness gradually blurred. When he opened his eyes again, he found that he had returned to the stone bridge.
He stood quietly on the stone bridge, staring at the high mountains in the distance, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if he wanted to see the situation on the mountain clearly.
However, no matter how hard he tried, he could not see the specific scene on the mountain clearly.
But he felt that on the high mountain, it seemed that a pair of eyes full of malice and resentment were staring at him, which made him feel creepy.
After a moment, Lin Luo retracted his gaze and turned to walk towards the village.
Lin Luo's sudden action made Zhao Qian a little stunned. He originally thought that Lin Luo was going to go to the mountain to check it out, but he suddenly changed his mind and chose to leave.
However, Zhao Qian did not say much. On the contrary, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. The mountain brought him an inexplicable weirdness and fear, which made him not want to get close.
After looking at Lin Luo's back and the mountain in the distance, he turned around and quickly caught up with Lin Luo's footsteps.
The night fell so quickly that it seemed to swallow up the whole world in an instant.
Before six o'clock, the sun in the sky had disappeared below the horizon, leaving only a dark night covering the earth.
Everyone gathered in the courtyard, and the atmosphere seemed unusually heavy. Zhang Yuan spoke first: "We searched twice, but did not find any trace of the ancestral hall. When we asked the villagers, they kept silent." A trace of uncontrollable irritability and uneasiness appeared on his face.
Tong Tong also said: "Our situation is the same."
After saying that, her eyes fell on Lin Luo, the cook, and everyone else's eyes also gathered here.
Lin Luo's performance was too calm, so people couldn't help but doubt his true identity-is he a real cook?
Facing the eyes of everyone looking at him, Lin Luo just shook his head slightly and said softly: "We also didn't find any useful clues."
"Damn! What kind of secrets are hidden in this village!?" Zhang Yuan finally couldn't help but roared in a low voice, and his irritability became more and more intense. Compared with his previous calmness, he was obviously confused.
The arrival of night made him a little impatient.
"Or, let's go back to the house first!" Wu Shan looked up at the sky that had begun to darken, and his brows were tightly knitted together.
Today's sky seemed to get darker faster than usual. Is it going to rain?
He subconsciously raised his hand, palm up, and looked up at the sky slightly, as if waiting for something to fall.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Yuan seemed to understand something. He took a few deep breaths, adjusted his emotions, and said solemnly: "In this world, the time of night will come faster and faster."
After that, he ignored the surprised and puzzled eyes of the crowd and hurried to his room.
Night.
Lin Luo sat cross-legged on the bed, looking at Zhao Qian who was sitting on the stool beside him with a nervous face. He didn't say anything, but lowered his head to think.
He always felt that he missed something.
At this time, Zhao Qian was sitting at the table with a nervous face. His eyes kept scanning back and forth between the door and the window, as if he was alert to something.
After Li Yuan died, he lived alone in that room.
At the beginning, Zhao Qian wanted to invite Lin Luo to live with him, but Lin Luo had returned to his room at that time. After hesitating for a few seconds, Zhao Qian finally decided to knock on Lin Luo's door and asked Lin Luo to allow him to live with him with an almost pleading look.
After some consideration, Lin Luo let Zhao Qianjin go to his room.
At this moment, the sky had completely darkened.
The surroundings fell into a strange darkness again, and it was pitch dark, making people feel extremely depressed.
It was as if the surroundings were painted with a layer of untouchable black paint.
The whole village also became unusually quiet, without a single sound.
"Zhang... Brother Zhang Yang?"
Lin Luo turned his head to look in the direction of Zhao Qian and asked lightly: "What's wrong?"
Zhao Qian struggledHe swallowed his saliva, and with a smile on his face, he said, "No... I'm fine."
Hearing Lin Luo's voice, he felt relieved.
In response, Lin Luo did not continue to speak, but was still thinking about a question.
They must go to the back mountain.
However, the strange white fog obviously blocked them, preventing them from reaching the mountain that was not far away but out of reach.
So, how can they get to the back mountain.
Lin Luo's brows were tightly locked together. Could it be that they had to go on the day of the sacrifice?
Zhao Qian's forehead was covered with a layer of sweat. He swallowed his saliva again with difficulty, and his face trembled with fear; "This, is the night in this village so dark? No wonder these people rested so early."
While he was talking, he subconsciously kept looking in the direction of Lin Luo. He just wanted to chat with Lin Luo to dispel the anxiety and fear in his heart.
Hearing this, Lin Luo's pupils flashed a gleam of light, and he remembered.
When he and Zhao Shuang went to investigate the strange incidents in the village, he seemed to have heard an old lady say that Li Sanniang went to collect herbs at night and was trapped in the mountain and couldn't get down.
At night? Can't get down!
During the day! Can't get up?
Lin Luo's eyes were a little excited, and his eyes were like torches. If that's the case, it seems that the strange back mountain can only be climbed at night.
And if you want to go down the mountain, you can only wait until daytime.
So, they must go to the back mountain at night.
However, compared with the daytime, the danger at night is obviously much higher.
Especially on that strange back mountain.
But, the further they go, the more difficult it will be.
Because according to the strange incident they encountered last time and the current situation, the night will become longer and longer.
If they continue to delay, they will definitely die.
Lin Luo's eyes are burning, and he can't wait any longer, so he will act tonight.
Thinking of this, he confirmed that the file loading had finished cooling down, stood up, and said to Zhao Qian; "Let's go."
Hearing this, Zhao Qian's whole body trembled; "Zhang, Brother Zhang Yang, you, what did you just say?"
Lin Luo had already raised his foot to the door, and the time showed that it was 11 o'clock in the evening.
"I said, let's go."
