When the fog cleared, the eight-person team was divided into three teams according to Su Yan's idea.
The team's dispersion disrupted the trackers' plans, and according to the village chief's instructions, they had no choice but to stay here.
The limitations of the order gave Su Yan the opportunity to slip away.
Director Yan tried his best to keep up with Su Yan's pace. He couldn't help but doubt himself. He had only been in the second line for a few years, but his physical fitness had deteriorated to such an extent. It seemed that he had to strengthen his exercise after returning.
Unlike the two of them who were in a relaxed mood, the six people who stayed there were facing double torture, both visually and mentally, especially the four policemen who had never encountered such a thing.
They looked at the ghosts around them, their language systems completely disordered, and they could only hold on to their companions' hands tightly to give themselves a little psychological comfort.
Having seen their predecessors being frightened to the point of pissing their pants or even kneeling down to beg for mercy, they were very dissatisfied with this kind of calm fear.
The ghosts around them all showed their most terrifying looks, and after hearing the screams one after another, they nodded in satisfaction.
Tang Lanqing controlled her hands that wanted to cover her ears. She didn't expect the screams of these strong men to be so sharp. She could feel the muscles of the man next to her tense.
Seeing that they were so scared, but still kept protecting her, she apologized to the two dedicated police officers in her heart: "I'm sorry, in order to cooperate with the master's actions, I can only wronged you for a while."
When Su Yan stepped into the deepest part of the forest, she felt very uncomfortable.
This place has an extremely serious sense of separation from the outside world. Although it seems to be a peaceful place, there is a lot of resentment in the air.
The intensity of these grievances varies, and some have only been formed recently. They have no way to take revenge and can only wander around their enemies.
Each grudge represents a soul that died in pain, from which we can see how many lives have been lost in this place.
Su Yan said in a heavy tone, "Director Yan, have someone investigate the population loss in this county and surrounding counties, especially the homeless with intellectual disabilities."
Director Yan heard the hint in Su Yan's words: "Master, are they all here?"
"Yes, I just felt the souls trapped here in the air. Most of them were born with damaged souls."
Director Yan was furious. He took out his phone and tried to send a message. Surprisingly, the signal was incredibly smooth. "Why is the signal so good now? It was intermittent just now."
Hearing him say that the signal was good, Su Yan took out the cell phone from her pocket.
Netizens finally saw the bright sky again.
[Finally saw the Master. It had been in darkness the entire time. If it hadn't been for the sound of footsteps, I would have called the police.]
[Master, I'm from the county next door. There used to be a homeless man near my high school. He really had an intellectual disability. The students took pity on him and often bought him food. He would hang out at the door at the beginning of the school term, but then he disappeared.]
[Master, we also have one in our town...]
Su Yan acknowledged the information they provided: "I have to hurry on my way, so I'll inconvenience you guys to stay in my pocket for a while. We're all online friends, so we can chat if you get bored."
The two continued to move deeper into the forest, passing through a quiet path. Suddenly, their vision was blocked and they could hear a faint roar.
Director Yan looked at the towering trees around him and said, "Master, we should go that way."
Su Yan walked to a big tree, and when her hand touched the tree, the nourishing talisman, which had been silent all this time, gave a faint response.
She placed the talisman paper right in front of the tree. When the talisman paper burned out, the scene in front of her eyes changed, and a path appeared where her vision was blocked just now.
She looked at Director Yan, whose mouth was hanging open. “It’s just an illusion created by the formation.”
Because her phone was still live-streaming: "Director Yan, take a picture of this tree. The remains of the murdered Dr. Tan are underneath. Once this matter is settled, he can rest in peace."
Director Yan thought about the scene of himself circling the tree and stomping back and forth, and bowed respectfully: "Doctor Tan, ignorance is not a crime. I will burn more incense for you in the future."
The two men moved forward in the direction of the sound. When they saw clearly what was happening in front of them, Director Yan covered his mouth to prevent himself from making any sound.
I saw a small mining center below, with workers carrying things back and forth.
He took out his phone, recorded a short video, and found his superior: "I'm applying for assistance."
At this time, on the other side, several people who had been circling in the same place screamed in pain.
The young policeman looked at the mark he had left behind and said, "Why are you still wandering around in circles? I've already made eight check marks on this tree. Add this one and we'll be all right."
Tian Zongyuan comforted him, "Do things perfectly, and it will be over soon."
He had received a message from the master saying that they had collected evidence and were heading here.
When Su Yan arrived, he broke the formation.
The dead people who almost bumped into each other looked at each other speechlessly: "We can't feel each other at such a close distance. It seems that we are really not destined to be together."
The person who was following them broke out in a cold sweat when he saw them break through the formation. This was the first time someone came out before the formation was exhausted. He hurriedly told the village chief the news.
Village Chief Tan sneered after receiving the news. He blamed it all on Director Yan: "So he had made preparations in advance. It seems that we still can't let acquaintances into the village in the future."
He instructed the people standing below, "Go tell Dr. Xu that I will be hosting a banquet tonight to entertain our distinguished guests and ask her friends to be present."
When Su Yan and his group arrived at the village entrance, the old man who greeted them changed his expression slightly.
"Why did you come down so soon? Isn't it fun in the mountains?"
Su Yan said casually, "It's nothing special, just some wild flowers and weeds.
The outside world has always said that Tanjia Village is terrifying, but in our opinion, it is nothing special. Although we encountered a ghost wall, it is not dangerous. We can get out after walking around it a few times.
After we go back, we will definitely post what we saw and heard today on the Internet to help your village get rid of the sewage.
You can turn it into a tourist attraction and attract adventure lovers. You can collect entrance fees at the village gate and make a lot of money that way."
The old man's face turned ashen, and he had murderous intentions towards Su Yan and the others. If outsiders really continued to come, the secrets of Tanjia Village would definitely be exposed. How would he maintain his position as the second most powerful person in the world?
At this moment, Doctor Xu walked up to them and said, "The village chief wants to treat you to a meal."
Su Yan gave her a reassuring look and said, "The people in your village are really welcoming. Let's go now. Keeping the host waiting for a long time is not the proper courtesy of a guest."
