After Qi Ling disconnected from them, he decisively sent out the last lucky bag of the day.
The winner of the lucky bag is Cai Xiong
After Cai Xiong paid the money, Qi Ling invited him to a video call.
A young man who was about 20 years old soon appeared in the video.
The man was about 1.7 meters tall, handsome, clean and fair-skinned.
But at this moment, there was no smile on his face. Instead, it was full of sorrow, and his eyes were full of tired red bloodshot.
After seeing Qi Ling, he asked impatiently: "Master Qi, I would like to ask you to help me check if my girlfriend is still alive?"
"If they are alive, where are they now?"
Qi Ling raised an eyebrow: "Alive?"
"Yes, she went hiking with her bestie this morning. We kept in touch during the trip. Every time she arrived at a place, she would call me or take photos to share."
"However, it has been five hours since the last time I shared. During this time, I have been messaging and calling her, but she has not answered. I suspect they are in danger."
He was almost crying
[Climbing a mountain? Did your bestie push you down the mountain?]
[Is it really so dark upstairs? Is the signal bad there?]
[Did you call the police? Where was she when she last contacted you? It's very likely she really went to the mountains and had no signal or something. Don't worry.]
[Maybe your girlfriend was having too much fun and forgot to contact you? ]
…
Netizens speculated one after another, and most of them were comforting Cai Xiong, hoping that he would not be anxious.
Cai Xiong shook his head firmly: "It's impossible that she was pushed down the mountain, because the last photo she sent me was of a village."
"She told me that it was getting late and she was going to the village to find a B&B to stay in. After she sent this message, there was no news from her."
"Oh, I have photos of that village too. It's strange, it doesn't look modern at all. It looks more like ancient buildings."
He suddenly thought of something and quickly posted the photo on the public screen for everyone to see.
It was a palm-sized photo of two energetic and sunny women.
Behind them is an ancient village, almost all of which are stilt houses.
The village is very big, and you can hardly see the end of it at a glance. It is surrounded by mountains and is deserted. It looks very lonely and desolate.
I don't know how they found this place.
I don’t know if it’s a psychological effect, but everyone always feels a little creepy when looking at this deserted village.
The most important thing is that it was broad daylight, but in such a big village, there was no one at all, no human activity or atmosphere.
It's very strange, really eerie.
[Hiss… There's a plaque on it. Zhujia Village? Where is this?]
[How brave! Two girls dare to enter the village alone. Aren't they afraid of danger?]
…
Cai Xiong continued, "My girlfriend told me that they had clearly seen many tourists before, but in the blink of an eye, there was no one around.
They also suddenly appeared outside the village. Since entering here, the surroundings have been eerily quiet and nothing can be heard."
“I was afraid they would be in danger, so I asked them to find a new place to stay.”
"But at this moment, my girlfriend sent me a message saying that they seemed to be trapped in a maze and couldn't get out."
"And then there was no news of her again!"
When Cai Xiong said this, he was so sad that he couldn't help crying.
He felt that something must have happened to his girlfriend and best friend.
He frowned again and asked doubtfully:
"And as soon as I realized something was wrong, I immediately went to look up this village, but I discovered there was no such village in L City!"
"So Master Qi, please help me take a look!"
He looked at Qi Ling pleadingly, his voice almost choked with sadness.
What? There's no such village? How is that possible?
[It can't be a ghost village, right? Hahaha! ]
[Don't scare me, the above person. If this is really a ghost village, then wouldn't Cai Xiong's girlfriend be dead for sure?]
…
Unlike their teasing, Qi Ling narrowed her eyes the moment she saw the photo.
After a long silence, she said, "First of all, judging from the looks of your two girlfriends, they are not in danger."
"As for this village, there is indeed a problem!"
She glanced at Cai Xiong and the netizens who were discussing the matter in the live broadcast room, not caring at all about how much impact her next words would have on them.
She said bluntly: "This is indeed a ghost village!"
This statement instantly caused an uproar.
[Oh my god, is this really a ghost village? Help!!! Then won't Cai Xiong's girlfriend die sooner or later? After all, there are ghosts everywhere.]
[Yes, my family is from L City. I just checked, and this village did exist many years ago. However, during the Anti-Japanese War, everyone in it perished along with their lives! You can check the details, but the whole village was clearly burned down.]
[There's this? So there really is a ghost in there? Oh my god, this is so scary.]
…
Cai Xiong's face turned pale, and he could barely stand. "Ghost village?"
Qi Ling nodded: "Yes, if you don't believe me, take a closer look at the photo on your phone. It's just a trick. Look at it a few more times and you will find it's wrong."
When everyone heard this, they immediately stared at the photos on the phone without blinking.
After about two minutes, they couldn't help but exclaim.
The village that was originally in the photo had disappeared without a trace. All that was left in the photo were two girls, two towering old trees, and an empty lot with no one around.
