Without waiting for Xiao Tangqiu to speak, Shen Yuan gave Tang Mianmian a cold look. Tang Mianmian was immediately frightened and took a few steps back. She began to look left and right, pretending to enjoy the scenery.
Duan Hongzhen scratched his ears. "Although what you said sounded like the truth, I didn't sense any danger just now! With such a sharp intuition, if I sensed any danger, I would wake up even if I was asleep."
Xue Junli: "How dare you say that? Weren't you sound asleep the whole time?"
Duan Hongzhen was immediately puzzled. "I'm also confused. I can't possibly sleep so soundly in this dungeon world... Where's the boss? Is he sound asleep too?"
Shen Yuan snorted coldly, acquiescing. He paused, then spoke again, "I didn't sense any danger, or else I would have woken up to protect Jiujiu."
It wasn't raining outside. Duan Hongzhen and Shen Yuan both said they hadn't detected any signs of danger, and there was indeed no sign of moisture inside the house. Xiao Tangqiu didn't know if the woman in the white kimono was the Rain Girl, or if she had actually appeared. Perhaps nothing would ever be known...
Just when Xiao Tangqiu was lost in thought, he suddenly felt something in the palm of his hand. When he turned it over, he saw that it was a raindrop.
However, before he could take a closer look, the raindrop disappeared as if it had evaporated.
At the same time, Xue Junli was saying calmly, "We didn't find anything particularly special this time, but we discovered that there seems to be a shrine in Baigui Village. In the house of the woman who looked like the village chief, we saw a painting. The painting showed a shrine maiden performing a ritual dance, with Baigui Village in the background."
Xiao Tangqiu was stunned: "Shrine?"
He suddenly remembered the witch named Ruyue and couldn't help but ask, "Where is she?"
Xue Junli shook his head: "I don't know. We just searched Baigui Village and didn't see any buildings that looked like shrines."
Xiao Tangqiu glanced at Tang Mianmian and said thoughtfully, "I've played a lot of horror games before, and the shrines in most horror games... seem to be on the mountains."
Tang Mianmian also nodded: "Yes, yes, yes! I think so too!"
Xue Junli frowned slightly: "On the mountain? Could it be that holy mountain?"
Xiao Tangqiu: "Maybe, we can go look for it later."
Xue Junli hesitated for a moment, clearly a little worried about the three of them, especially with Shen Yuan, such an uncontrollable killer...
Yu Fuling and Sailulu also spoke up to stop them at the same time, "It's too dangerous for you to go alone!"
Shen Yuan held his head high and said, "Don't worry, I'm here!"
Everyone in the Samsara Team: “…” We’re worried because you’re here!
Xue Junli looked at Shen Yuan, then at Xiao Tangqiu. Although Shen Yuan's condition was not very stable now and his IQ was often not online, but with Xiao Tangqiu around, there should be no problem... right?
Duan Hongzhen didn't know when he had a lollipop in his mouth: "Don't worry, I will keep an eye on the captain."
Xue Junli felt even more troubled when he saw Duan Hongzhen's nonchalant look. However, if Shen Yuan was determined to go, he couldn't stop him. He could only rub his temples and said helplessly, "Then go ahead. But remember, even if you do find the shrine, don't go in... I have a feeling this shrine might not be simple. You just go to find the shrine tonight. Once you find it, come back immediately. After we get some rest, we'll all go in together tomorrow!"
Xiao Tangqiu nodded: "I understand. Don't worry, we will be back as soon as we find the shrine."
"But you may not be able to find it tonight, so don't force yourself." Xue Junli glanced at Xiao Tangqiu and said calmly, "If your previous guess is correct, we will have to return to the tunnel after daybreak."
When Xiao Tangqiu thought of the tunnel, he suddenly got a headache. He didn't know where the tunnel would take them next. What if there was another pile of zombies? They would become emotionless zombie-killing machines again.
"Okay, let's go!"
Duan Hongzhen had a good sleep and was obviously refreshed.
Xiao Tangqiu and Tang Mianmian looked at each other, nodded at him, and followed Duan Hongzhen and Shen Yuan out of the wooden house where they had slept for half the night.
Outside the door, the night is deep.
The night in Baigui Village is completely silent, but this silence is lifeless and rather dead.
Not only was there no sound of human movement, there wasn't even the chirping of insects that you would hear in an ordinary rural night. There was only complete and dead silence.
Xiao Tangqiu followed Duan Hongzhen cautiously, and looked around vigilantly at the same time. However, nothing special happened until they reached the village entrance. They easily opened the wooden door locked from the inside and left Baigui Village.
Xiao Tangqiu suddenly remembered something and couldn't help asking curiously, "I don't think I heard any dogs barking. Don't villages like this usually have dogs?"
Duan Hongzhen said disapprovingly: "This village is so poor that they can't even afford to eat, so why would they keep a dog?"
"What about cows? Don't farmers usually raise cows? Could it be that we can't afford them because we're so poor?"
Xiao Tangqiu thought about it and realized that there seemed to be not only no dogs and cows in this village, but also no chickens, ducks, or geese at all. Could it be that these villagers never eat meat?
At this moment, they arrived at the farmland in front of Baigui Village. Xiao Tangqiu subconsciously shone his nuclear flashlight into the farmland. Then he couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise: "There are no crops in the farmland at all!"
Every time they passed by here before, they were in a hurry and never carefully observed the crops in the farmland. Now Xiao Tangqiu took a closer look and found that there were no crops at all in the farmland. The already barren farmland had long been deserted.
Duan Hongzhen also saw this and was stunned for a moment: "Strange, what do the villagers of Baigui Village usually eat? No, don't they all go to the collective farming after dawn? Are they just pretending?"
