After entering the secret room, the door closed instantly.
Ren Lingxi subconsciously moved closer to Su Yang and grabbed his arm.
"Brother Su Yang, it's so dark in here~"
"It's okay, an NPC should appear soon."
As Su Yang finished speaking, there was a sudden flash of light in the dark room, and a figure in a white robe stood not far in front of the two of them.
"Ah!!" Ren Lingxi screamed when she saw the person and suddenly threw herself into Su Yang's arms.
Su Yang hugged Ren Lingxi and said calmly with his eyes slightly narrowed: "It's okay, this should be an NPC who is giving guidance."
As he was speaking, an eerie background music began to play in his ears, and some faint lights suddenly turned on, barely illuminating a small area around him.
The person in front also revealed his full appearance at this time. He was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his thirties or forties.
He had a goatee on his chin and wore a long white robe, looking like a monk.
The surrounding environment that can be seen now is an old rural road from the 1970s and 1980s.
At this moment, the two were standing outside the gate of an old courtyard. The scenery was very real and immersive.
If you were taken here after falling asleep and suddenly woke up, people who didn't know would probably think they had traveled through time.
The NPC stood at the gate of the yard and waved to the two of them, saying, "Welcome to the deserted village~"
At this time, Ren Lingxi had already seen the other person clearly. She breathed a sigh of relief and followed Su Yang towards the NPC.
Su Yang looked at the man and smiled: "Since it's called No Man's Village, are you a human or a ghost?"
The man smiled awkwardly: "Haha, you little brother are quite humorous, please follow me~"
Ren Lingxi asked, "Where are the two people who just came in?"
The man tilted his head and said, "They are on a different route from you. Don't worry about them. Complete your own mission first."
The man took Su Yang and Ren Lingxi into the old courtyard in front of them.
As soon as I walked into the yard, the lights on the road behind me dimmed and returned to the pitch black darkness when I first came in.
Su Yang looked at the man and asked, "What role are you playing?"
"I'm the leader. Now I'll briefly explain the rules to you."
"you say."
The man looked at Su Yang and Ren Lingxi, stroked his goatee, and smiled faintly, "Please take out your wallets."
"Okay." The two agreed and took out their purses.
The man continued, "You each have eight pieces of talisman paper in your purse."
"Talisman paper?"
"Well, listen to me first. Your main mission on this trip is to find a secret treasure located in an uninhabited village. Of course, you need to find the specific location of the secret treasure on your own. After completing specific tasks, some clues will be provided."
"The talisman paper is used to seal the ghosts floating around the village. Each piece of talisman paper can seal the ghosts for two minutes. You each have only eight pieces, and they cannot be reused. So in the following stages, you will use them according to your situation."
"How to seal it?" Su Yang asked.
"Just stick it anywhere on the ghost, but you'd better use it sparingly, because you still need to seal the family."
"What the hell is the Sealed Family?"
"This is your current mission. Don't worry, listen to me as I explain it in detail."
The NPC stroked his beard and continued, "There were six relatively large families in the deserted village, but for some strange reason, everyone in the village disappeared overnight."
"This incident was so bizarre that the city sent an investigation team to investigate. However, three days later, all the members of the investigation team died in the village, with only one man escaping."
"According to him, every night at 11 o'clock, many strange noises would appear in the six families, including crying, screaming, and fighting..."
"Anyway, the members of the investigation team never came out after entering these families. Only the boy who didn't go in escaped."
"Later, we invited many Taoist priests, Feng Shui masters, and the like. The final conclusion was that the souls of the six families needed to be sealed before midnight."
"What happens after the seal?"
"After the seal, you will get the clue to the next secret treasure."
"So your current mission is to seal one of the families in the deserted village: the Zhao family."
"How to seal it?" Su Yang asked.
The NPC smiled and continued, "Talisman paper! Every family has four places where talismans need to be applied: the master and mistress' bedroom doors, the bathroom mirror, the main hall's altar, and the pigsty."
"Pigsty?" Su Yang asked.
"That's right."
"Okay, then what?"
"If you can seal it quickly, you can go find other teammates to help them complete the task faster."
"What if the seal cannot be completed before 12 o'clock?" Ren Lingxi looked at the NPC and asked.
“Good question!”
"But I can't tell you for now. I can only say that it will be very dangerous after 12 o'clock. You should seal it as soon as possible~"
Su Yang turned his head and looked at the yard in front of him and asked, "Is this the Zhao family you are talking about?"
"Of course not. You'll find out once you cross the yard. Go ahead."
Swish!
As the NPC finished speaking, the dim lights around him went out again.
"Ah~" Ren Lingxi screamed and hugged Su Yang suddenly.
Three seconds later, the dim light returned, and the NPC had disappeared.
"Brother Su Yang, where are he?"
"He ran away. His current mission has been completed. It's our turn now."
"So what are we going to do now?"
"Go find the Zhao family!"
