Duan Hongzhen snorted softly: "He has become stronger, but also stupider."

Xue Junli glanced at Duan Hongzhen and asked, "Aren't you afraid that the captain will teach you a lesson after he recovers his memory?"

Duan Hongzhen scratched his ear. "If the captain regained his memory, the first person he would teach a lesson would definitely be Xiao Tangqiu, who had seen him act like a spoiled brat and act foolishly! There's no way it would be my turn!"

Xiao Tangqiu on the side: "..."

Hey! Is it really okay to say something like that so openly? He's still here!

Tang Mianmian crossed her fingers and asked the bosses weakly, "What should we do now?"

Xue Junli glanced at Tang Mianmian and Xiao Tangqiu, and said calmly, "You two should change your clothes first and bandage your wounds. Then we'll find a way to sneak into the Hundred Ghosts Village."

Xiao Tangqiu was stunned: "Break into the Hundred Ghosts Village?"

Xue Junli nodded: "That's right, this Hundred Ghosts Village should be the plot location. We must find a way to sneak in. Maybe the system will assign us a suitable identity. If the system doesn't, we can find a few identities ourselves to sneak in."

Xiao Tangqiu frowned: "This kind of remote small village must be particularly xenophobic. If the system didn't assign us identities, we might not be able to get in smoothly." He didn't think the system assigned them identities, otherwise the old lady wouldn't call them "outsiders" and be full of hostility towards them.

Xue Junli obviously thought so too. He said calmly, "If civilized methods don't work, then we can only rely on force."

Duan Hongzhen curled his lips and took out a knife to play with it: "Even if they don't open the door to let us in, can't we kick the door in ourselves?"

Xiao Tangqiu: “…” There is actually such a simple and crude method!

"Then it's settled. Everyone, pack up and prepare to enter the Hundred Ghosts Village."

Xiao Tangqiu and Tang Mianmian were the two most miserable of all. Needless to say, Tang Mianmian had rolled in the mud and rushed into the fire. He was now as miserable as a refugee fleeing from the disaster. Xiao Tangqiu was covered in blood, with scratches and bloodstains all over his body and arms.

After the two changed into clean clothes, they were about to apply medicine to each other, but Shen Yuan squeezed over and insisted on applying medicine to Xiao Tangqiu. Xiao Tangqiu hesitated for a moment, but Tang Mianmian was scared away by Shen Yuan's look, and quickly hid aside, applying medicine to herself with a wronged look.

Shen Yuan frowned as he applied medicine to Xiao Tangqiu.

Xiao Tangqiu said dryly: "It doesn't hurt that much..."

Shen Yuan snorted, "You're lying."

Xiao Tangqiu blinked: "It really doesn't hurt."

Shen Yuan puffed out his cheeks: "I don't believe it."

Seeing Shen Yuan looking as angry as a pufferfish, Xiao Tangqiu couldn't help but reach out and poke him.

Shen Yuan blinked and looked at Xiao Tangqiu blankly.

Xiao Tangqiu poked him again: "Thank you for saving me just now. If you hadn't killed that monster, maybe we would all be in trouble."

Shen Yuan blushed and asked, "How do other people usually repay a life-saving favor like this?"

Xiao Tangqiu: "..."

This is outrageous! This guy was as innocent as a baby not long ago, but now he's actually learning to repay a favor! He's really become a bad person!

Tang Mianmian, who was standing by, suddenly interrupted and said, "I have no way to repay your kindness, except to repay you with my own body!"

This was the first time that Shen Yuan did not glare at Tang Mianmian for interrupting without permission. Instead, he looked at Xiao Tangqiu with anticipation, his eyes sparkling.

Xiao Tangqiu said calmly, "I have no way to repay your kindness. I can only repay you by working like a slave in my next life... Then I will be your slave in my next life!"

Shen Yuan curled his lips and was about to say something when Xue Junli's voice suddenly rang out: "Okay, it's time to set off."

Xiao Tangqiu interrupted what Shen Yuan was about to say: "Alright! It's important to do the serious work! Let's get going!"

With the special hemostatic agent, the places where he was scratched by the monster quickly recovered. After changing into clean and tidy clothes, he was completely reborn and looked like a brand new person.

"Resurrect with full health on the spot!" Tang Mianmian also jumped up.

Shen Yuan snorted lightly, but did not protest. He followed Xiao Tangqiu obediently.

Everyone packed up their equipment and headed towards their destination.

They walked under the moonlight and arrived outside Baigui Village. The villagers of Baigui Village worked from sunrise to sunset and had gone to bed early. The village gate was closed.

But this time, they didn't plan to sneak in secretly. Xue Junli glanced at Duan Hongzhen and said, "Go knock on the door."

Duan Hongzhen snorted: "Don't always give me orders."

Having said that, he still walked forward and rapped hard on the large wooden door at the entrance of the village, which was topped with a sharpened wooden stick.

This kind of door posed no obstacle to the Samsara team. They could have just walked in openly, but they didn't do that.

Duan Hongzhen knocked hard on the wooden door, and the sound echoed throughout the village. Soon, one family lit a candle, and then another family lit a candle. A moment later, all the houses in the village were lit up.

Someone came out of the house in a hurry with a torch. He stood inside the wooden door and looked at Duan Hongzhen and others outside in surprise. Then another person came out. After a while, a small group of people had gathered inside the wooden door, but they did not dare to open the door, nor did they dare to let the people outside leave. They just gathered in twos and threes, discussing something in a low and nervous voice.

They didn't even dare to get too close to the people outside the wooden door. They just stood at a distance, their faces half bright and half dark in the flickering light of the torches, like mice in a cave, looking at the strange intruders with moist and dark eyes.

Their eyes were obviously filled with vigilance and hostility, and Xiao Tangqiu's heart suddenly skipped a beat. Although he had long guessed that the more remote and closed the place was, the more xenophobic it would be, especially in such a strange village with peculiar customs, he still felt a little depressed when he saw the unfriendly eyes of these villagers.

A moment later, an old lady walked out of the crowd. All the villagers with unfriendly faces respectfully made way for her after seeing her. It was obvious that they were very pious to her. It seemed that she must have a relatively high status in the village, perhaps a figure like the village chief.
