Looking at the thick fog in front of them, everyone was on high alert. After all, it was the first time for Kuang San and Kurumi to come to the main world, and no one knew what would happen here. Although they were more or less doing well in their own world, this world was completely different from the world they were in...

"Be careful, it's hard to walk here. It took me a long time to get out last time... To be honest, I didn't even know there was a village here before this."

"Then how did you get in?"

Hearing what Fina said, Fang Zheng couldn't help but ask curiously, "You didn't even know there was a village here, how could you walk here?"

When Fina heard Fang Zheng's question, she turned her head and looked forward.

"…I'm lost…"

Well, this reason is really good and powerful.

Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders, then he looked at the fog in front of him, and after a moment of silence, he made a decision.

"Let's go in and take a look at the situation."

The moment he stepped into the thick fog, the white, humid mist hit him in the face, making him feel a little suffocated. Fang Zheng frowned and glanced around. He saw that the visibility of the fog in front of him was only about 100 meters. He couldn't even see the trees on both sides clearly.

"Where did this fog come from?"

"I don't know either."

Fina shook her head.

"I was walking peacefully in the mountains before, and then I suddenly encountered such a fog. I also asked in the village, and they said that this is a natural phenomenon here, which happens several times a year. And in the past few days, almost no one in the village goes out... But now they can't go out even if they want to. I checked and it's just ordinary thick fog. There is no toxin, and it is not an illusion."

“It’s not…”

Fang Zheng is a prophecy mage, and he is naturally immune to illusions. If this fog is an illusion, then it will definitely not escape his eyes. However, this thick fog does not look like an illusion, so we can only say... this is a natural phenomenon.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but after entering the fog, everything was silent. Before, when they were climbing the mountain, they could hear the birds singing in the woods, but now, they could not hear anything except their own footsteps and voices, not even the sound of the breeze.

"Ouch... This feels really bad..."

Walnut held the shovel in his hand and looked around anxiously.

"I feel like I've entered a horror game..."

You know what, I feel the same way.

Hearing Hu Tao's complaints, Fang Zheng nodded secretly. He was just waiting to see if he would come across a town that looked like it had been burned by a fire and a sign that said "Welcome to Silent Hill" when he walked out of the foggy area.

…I don’t think so.

The group did not encounter any threats along the way, and no monsters or enemies took the opportunity to launch a sneak attack. Under Fina's leadership, Fang Zheng and the others walked out of the foggy area in just over 20 minutes and arrived in front of a village.

"This is... eh?"

As she spoke, Fina pointed to the village in front of her, and then she was stunned. Seeing Fina's reaction, Fang Zheng and others also looked forward.

In front of them was a very ordinary village, with people coming and going on the road and people working in the fields. It looked very normal and there was nothing wrong. But Fina looked as if she had seen something unbelievable, staring at the scene in front of her with wide eyes in surprise.

"How could this be...it wasn't like this before?"

Fina widened her eyes in surprise and slowly walked into the village. She looked at the crowds on both sides as if she had seen some rare creature.

"Everyone was lying on the bed before, unable to even get down..."

"Hey, isn't this Miss Priest?"

At this moment, a very energetic old man dressed as a farmer came over with farm tools on his shoulders and waved to Fina with a smile. When Fina saw this old man, her expression was even more surprised.

"Uncle Rand? Are you okay?"

"I'm fine? What could possibly happen to me?"

Hearing Fina's question, the old farmer was stunned for a moment, then spoke with a smile.

"Look, I'm fine. But where did you go, Miss Priest? You left without even saying hello, and you made us so worried."

"Hey...? I came here to find someone to help me get rid of the plague. By the way, Uncle Rand, how come everyone is fine? Has the plague been lifted?"

"Plague? What plague?"

In response to Fina's question, the old farmer showed a surprised expression.

"Miss Priest, what are you talking about? We are fine here, nothing has happened. What plague are you talking about? Are you confused because of sleep, hahahaha..."

"Eh? But..."

"It's rare to see someone like you who takes nightmares so seriously. By the way, my little girl is still waiting for you. Didn't you say you would tell her the stories in the scriptures? She's really looking forward to it. She even cried when she saw you leave. Now that you're back, go see that girl."

After saying this, the old farmer carried his farm tools and staggered towards the field on the other side. Fina stood there blankly, staring at the old farmer's receding back, and for a moment she had no idea what to say.

"Brother Fang Zheng, what's going on?"

At this moment, Walnut also came over with a shovel and asked curiously.

"Didn't Fina say before that the situation here was very urgent? Why does it seem like nothing is wrong now?"

"It's a little strange."

Hearing Walnut's question, Fang Zheng nodded. He certainly didn't believe that Fina would lie. In fact, it didn't look like the priestess had ever lied. You could tell from her expression that Fina was completely confused and didn't know how to react.

Of course, according to common sense, if Fina did not lie, the remaining possibility is that the cult cast an illusion on Fina and controlled her mind. Or when Fina came back, it was too late and the villagers had been possessed by some evil things - basically many game movies unfold in this way.

However, when Fina was talking to the old farmer, Fang Zheng also secretly activated the divine detection, and the result was that everything was normal. The person in front of them was a normal old man, not possessed by any evil spirit, nor under the mental control of some kind of spell. Everything was normal, normal as it could be.

"... Let's go to Uncle Rand's house first. I stayed there before."

At this moment, Fina also came back to her senses. Although she didn't know what had happened, she still shook her head and then led Fang Zheng and others into the village. Under Fina's leadership, the group soon passed through the path in the village and came to the end of the hillside on the other side of the village.

"This is Uncle Rand's home. He... eh?"

While introducing Fang Zheng and the others, Fina walked up the steps on the slope. When she saw the wooden house in front of her, she was stunned again. The priestess tilted her head, looked at the wooden house, then looked at the tree next to it, with a confused look on her face.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

Seeing Fina's puzzled look, Fang Zheng walked up and asked, but Fina shook her head.

"I don't know either, but I remember that Uncle Rand's house seemed to be on the left... and that big tree should be on the right... That's strange, am I wrong?"

"Sister Priest!"

At this moment, a childish voice sounded, and then several children who were playing under a big tree ran over and surrounded Fina.

"Where have you been?"

"We all missed you so much. You haven't finished telling that story yet."

“Who are these people?”

"Ah, they are my companions... Well, then I will finish telling you the story of yesterday."

It can be seen that Fina was a little dizzy at the moment. She let the children pull her to the big tree and then told them a story in a serious manner. At this time, Kuang San, who was dressed as a wizard, also came to Fang Zheng's side with a smile.

"How is it, Mr. Founder? Have you found out who is lying?"

"I've checked."

Hearing Kuang San's question, Fang Zheng shook the "Whispering Volume" in his hand.

"The interesting thing is, neither side is lying."

"Why?"

This time it was Kurumi's turn to be surprised.

"In other words, what Miss Fina said about the people in this village being infected with the plague is true, but it is also true that the people in this village have never been infected with the plague?"

"That's right."

Fang Zheng nodded, and then opened the Annunciation in his hand again. He had just used the All-Knowing Angel to investigate Fina's actions yesterday, and found that everything the priestess girl said was true. She came to this village because she got lost, and then got along with the people here, and then found that a plague was spreading here, and Uncle Rand was indeed infected with the plague, and he couldn't hold on even before Fina left.

However, what happened in the village next appeared to be quite messy and even contradictory in the records of "The Annunciation".

For example, according to the records in "The Annunciation", Uncle Rand breathed his last shortly after Fina left the village, turned into an undead creature, and killed his own family.

But after a few lines, the next paragraph suddenly turns to Uncle Rand getting up, washing his face, brushing his teeth, eating, and then going out to farm.

Then the next paragraph changes to a plague spreading in the village, and almost most people have died.

And just after writing this paragraph, the next paragraph becomes the whole village is happy and everyone is living a peaceful and beautiful life...

Simply put, it's as weird as if two different authors were writing a plot at the same time, but they took completely different routes in between.

"This is really interesting..."

Looking at the records in the Whispering Book, Fang Zheng couldn't help but sigh. The omniscient angel recorded facts that had already happened, but how could these two contradictory facts happen at the same time?

What secrets does this village hide?

Thinking of this, Fang Zheng became more and more interested in it.
