"What's going on?"
"What happened?"
After being awakened, the sleeping people sat up and looked around alertly.
The people of Xinghua Village, both men and women, subconsciously picked up the weapons at their sides, and the four people in charge of night watch all turned their eyes to the land temple next to them.
Su Yin turned to her mother and sister Su Baozhu and said, "Mom, Baozhu, you guys take care of the luggage. I'll go over there and take a look. If there's anything wrong, shout loudly."
"Okay, I got it. Just be careful!" Su's mother advised.
Soon, each of the fifteen households sent one or two people to the land temple. Not only them, but also those scattered groups camping nearby also gathered together.
Everyone stood in front of the land temple and no one came forward.
"It sounds like the sound coming from the land temple."
"Why don't we go in and take a look?" someone suggested.
However, no one responded, and no one planned to take the risk to go in. After all, no one wanted to be the first to explore the way. Who could know what happened in the land temple? Would there be any danger?
Su Yin stood quietly among the crowd, her nose twitching slightly.
Suddenly, a strong smell of blood entered her nostrils.
Butcher Yang and others also smelled this strange smell.
Everyone looked at each other, and their expressions became increasingly serious.
At this moment, a woman covered in blood ran out of the land temple in a panic, staggering and almost falling several times. When she saw the people outside, she felt like she had seen a savior.
"Help……"
The woman extended her hand to the crowd.
"Help."
Someone came forward and helped the woman up.
Looking at the blood on her body, some people became alert, some shrank in fear, and some asked curiously.
"What happened in there?"
"What's with all that blood on you?"
The woman kept shrinking back toward the crowd, as if she was very afraid of something in the land temple.
The woman's voice trembled as she said, "There's a ghost inside."
When these words were spoken, everyone present was stunned.
ghost? !
In the middle of the night, a woman ran out of the temple covered in blood, still mumbling "ghost". This scene was inexplicably weird. Suddenly, a gust of night wind blew over, and everyone present had goose bumps all over their bodies.
Someone said in a tense voice, "Don't talk nonsense. There are no ghosts in this world."
"yes."
Seeing that they didn't believe her, the woman said anxiously, "No, I didn't lie to you. There really is a ghost, and everyone inside was killed by a ghost."
"Dead. All dead."
"A ghost is coming..."
The woman became weird and seemed to be greatly frightened.
Someone bravely walked towards the land temple. As soon as he stepped in, everyone heard the man's scream. People ran out in panic, fearing that if they ran too slowly, they would be entangled by the evil spirits inside.
His action made the atmosphere around him even more weird and solemn.
Uncle Yang Dashan lowered his voice and said, "Yinyin, should we go in and take a look?"
"Wait a little longer."
As soon as Su Yin spoke, everyone else suppressed their curiosity.
Someone asked the man, "What's in it?"
The man took several breaths, calmed down a little, and said, "Dead, everyone inside is dead. There is a lot of blood, all blood."
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.
Several people walked in together, and when they saw someone go in, the others followed.
Someone noticed that they didn't move and couldn't help asking, "Why don't you go in and take a look?"
Yang Dashan waved his hand, "No, no."
The man said nothing and followed the others inside.
Su Yin winked at Butcher Yang, Doctor Li, and Li Rui, and they followed her inside, while the rest stayed outside.
She was also curious about what was going on inside.
Li Rui held a torch in his hand and walked at the front, with the others following behind him. As soon as they entered the land temple, a strong smell of blood hit them in the face.
By the light of the fire, one could clearly see many corpses lying in the temple. All of the dead had their eyes closed, their faces calm and peaceful, as if they were sleeping soundly; however, the most horrifying thing was that each of them had a shocking bloody hole in their chest, and bright red blood was gushing out like a fountain.
This extremely strange scene made everyone present shudder. Even someone like Su Yin, who was used to seeing corpses, could not help but feel a piercing chill rising up his spine.
"Look over there." Someone in the front suddenly spoke, pointing straight ahead.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw that on the main hall of the land temple, the clay statue of the land god, which was already incomplete and missing arms and legs, was standing quietly.
At this moment, something even more horrifying happened - its eyes, ears, mouth, nose and other parts began to ooze out bright red liquid continuously, as if the statue was crying silently, weeping for the tragedy that had occurred in this land temple.
"What...what is going on?"
"Is there really a ghost here?"
Faced with such an incredible scene, the people in the land temple were terrified. Discussions arose one after another, and the emotion of fear spread silently.
Su Yin walked towards the corpse closest to her, squatted down, and carefully observed the corpse in front of her.
At the same time, Dr. Li squatted quietly beside her and observed the body with her.
Su Yin took a deep breath, and her keen sense of smell allowed her to detect a strange smell in the air. She frowned slightly, turned her head to look at Doctor Li, and motioned for him to smell it too.
Doctor Li nodded in understanding, then approached the corpse and also smelled a strange odor.
Their actions did not attract the attention of others, because some brave people focused their eyes on the bundles around the corpse.
Once someone takes the lead, no matter how scared others are, they will become bolder due to the interests at stake.
One after another, they joined in the act of snatching the deceased's belongings.
The land temple suddenly became chaotic, and only Su Yin and her group of four watched quietly.
These people died in strange ways, so they would not touch their things if they could. To put it another way, they would not bother to do so because they have money in their pockets now.
Su Yin and Doctor Li stood up, both of them knowing what was going on.
This is not a ghost at work, it's clearly someone pretending to be a ghost.
The person who plays tricks is probably still among them.
Su Yin and Doctor Li remained silent and did not say anything. If they had said anything, they were afraid that the murderer hiding among them would target them.
