He Tiantian and Shen Yizhou discussed it and decided to go back with the big, silly guy.

The two followed the trail all the way to the very edge of the village, where there was only a very dilapidated house.

The big, clumsy man put the girl on the bed, while another woman was chained to the door, her eyes lifeless.

The two were speechless at the sight; the secret of this village was truly astounding...

After figuring things out, the two returned to the inn, where Shen Yizhou revealed the village's secret.

The familiar "ding" sound rang out.

[Congratulations to players Shen Yizhou and He Tiantian for completing the third task. Please continue with the second task. There are 8 days left.]

He Tiantian listened to the system's announcement; there were only 8 days left. She hoped nothing unexpected would happen.

He Tiantian scratched her head sheepishly, realizing she hadn't eaten enough for dinner.

Shen Yizhou checked the time; it was still early enough for a meal. "Let's go downstairs and see if there's anything to eat."

"Yay, Zhouzhou, you're the best!"

He Tiantian put on her shoes, took Shen Yizhou's arm and went downstairs. As soon as they stepped out of the hotel, they ran into Xiao Hong, a former employee of the hotel.

She was wearing a large red scarf and kept glancing towards the village entrance. She was also carrying a large red oil tank. The two men stepped forward and stopped Xiao Hong.

He Tiantian pulled Xiao Hong to a corner. Xiao Hong recognized the two people in front of her. Weren't they the couple who discovered the boss's mistress?

"Why haven't you left yet? It's really dangerous here. You should leave soon." After saying that, Xiao Hong patted He Tiantian's arm, picked up the oil can, and walked back towards the village entrance.

Xiao Hong took out her phone from her pocket. The time on the screen showed 11:58 PM. She was a bit early; there were probably still some villagers who hadn't gone to bed yet.

She hesitated for a moment, then sat down on the small stone steps opposite the village entrance. She planned to wait until the villagers were asleep, then burn down the rotten village.

Seeing this, Shen Yizhou didn't stop them. Since it was part of the plot, there was no need to stop them. It was better if fewer people did it, as they wouldn't commit any more evil deeds.

"Never mind that. Aren't you hungry? How about we go get a bowl of wontons?"

"Okay, let's go."

He Tiantian glanced at Xiao Hong for a moment, then followed Shen Yizhou to a late-night food stall near the hotel.

"Boss, two bowls of wontons, please."

"Okay! Coming right away."

The boss quickly started cooking wontons, while He Tiantian rested her chin on her hand and began to daydream, feeling that Xiao Hong wouldn't achieve her goal so easily.

The owner quickly brought out two bowls of wontons. He Tiantian added a little vinegar to the wontons and was just about to take her first sip of soup when a woman came running over shouting.

"Old Yuan, let's hurry!! The village is on fire, this is terrible!"

"What did you say? The village is on fire?"

The shopkeeper stared blankly at the woman in front of him. The village was their only place to live. If it burned down, where would they live?

The woman walked into the shop and saw He Tiantian and Shen Yizhou sitting in their seats. "Oh dear, you two little ones, hurry up and eat and leave. This place is probably going to be ruined."

After the woman finished speaking, she walked to a small table to the side, took out a large basket from underneath, which was full of loose banknotes, and stuffed them into her pocket after sorting them out.

They grabbed the stunned boss and left.

He Tiantian was dumbfounded, "Are these two abandoning the shop?"

Shen Yizhou remained calm, taking small bites of the wontons in his bowl. "Everyone has their own destiny; they shouldn't have their reasons."

He Tiantian nodded as if she understood, but it wasn't her business anyway, and she was happy to have something to eat.

She had only taken a few bites when Xiao Hong dragged the oil tank over. Her face was expressionless, like an emotionless robot.

Curious, He Tiantian picked up the bowl, walked to the door, and looked into the village. Inside, the village was ablaze with light, illuminating the entire darkness.

She felt inexplicably good, and Xiao Hong kept walking forward without looking back. When she reached the garbage heap, she threw away the oil can she was carrying.

Suddenly, she started laughing loudly at the sky. He Tiantian shook her head; another one had gone mad.

After this incident, the fire in the village was finally extinguished around dawn. He Tiantian and Shen Yizhou looked at the gray village with satisfaction, knowing that they were now completely safe.

Seeing that the fire had subsided, the two decided to leave and returned to their room close to 7:00.

The old lady downstairs was also frightened away, leaving only the two of them in the entire hotel. Shen Yizhou stood on the windowsill smoking. Should they also find another place to stay?

Some villagers ran out of the hotel; they smelled the fire and ran to the village entrance.

The village was in a mess, and a small number of villagers remained, squatting on the ground, burying their faces in their hands and weeping bitterly, as if they had lost something very important.

He Tiantian suddenly laughed as she watched this scene; the saying "evil begets evil" had come true.

She lay in bed scrolling through her phone, while Shen Yizhou stubbed out his cigarette. "We should be able to go back to the hotel now; it's more comfortable there."

He Tiantian's lips curved slightly, "That's exactly what I was thinking too!"

The two immediately set off to pack their luggage. When they arrived at the hotel, the villagers were still crying at the village entrance.

He Tiantian looked at them with disdain. She reached out and grabbed Shen Yizhou's sleeve. "What's the use of crying at the door? Why don't you go inside and die together?"

Shen Yizhou frowned as he looked at He Tiantian. Had this woman's thinking changed too much?

"Maybe they're afraid."

He Tiantian listened to Shen Yizhou's words and shrugged speechlessly. Shen Yizhou walked into the hotel and picked out the room he had stayed in before at the front desk. It was still on the 7th floor.
