After walking out of the valley, the mobile phone signal completely disappeared, and the electronic compass that Chen Ge had downloaded in advance also lost its function.

He always felt that the world on this side of the valley was different from the outside world. Maybe it was because he often dealt with ghosts and monsters, so he was more sensitive to certain things.

Looking up through the gaps between the branches, there were no stars or moon in the night sky. It was like an airtight cloth covering my head. The further I walked, the more nervous I felt.

"Be careful, we're almost there."

After walking for another ten minutes, Chen Ge and his companions finally emerged from the woods.

Looking up, the scene before them surprised each of them.

"Is that... a lantern?"

Lao Wei touched Grandpa Bai's arm, but it was also Grandpa Bai's first time to come to the Living Coffin Village at night.

"I don't know." He took out a piece of jade from his pocket and put it around his neck: "I'll go ahead, you guys follow me, don't go too far away."

The three of them entered the valley, and the vague outline of the building in front of them gradually became clear.

There is actually such a village hidden deep in the mountains where few people go.

All the buildings are in the style of decades ago, desolate and dilapidated, but what is strange is that there is a white paper lantern hanging at the door of every house.

The faint light was like white eyeballs, hovering on both sides of the dirt road, staring at the three outsiders.

There is someone in the village!

This village was abandoned due to plague decades ago, but people still live in it today.

"Uncle, shall we go in directly?" Old Wei walked to Chen Ge. He still remembered Captain Yan's order. The most important task tonight was to protect Chen Ge.

"Let me think about it." Grandpa Bai looked at the deserted village and the white paper lanterns hanging all over the village, and his palms broke out in cold sweat. "My father and I used to come here during the day, and I never knew the Coffin Village would be like this at night."

With a wry smile on his face, Mr. Bai's meaning was very clear: he didn't want to go in.

Among the three, he was the only one who had been to the Coffin Village before. He knew how weird and scary it was. If it was like that during the day, what would happen if he went in at night?

"Don't be impatient, let's stabilize the situation first." Old Wei patted Chen Ge on the shoulder and said, "How about we check around the village first?"

Chen Ge did not answer Old Wei's question and stood alone at the back. His expression made both Mr. Bai and Old Wei a little unpredictable.

"What's wrong with you?" Old Wei was very worried about Chen Ge. Although he also felt that Chen Ge was sometimes reckless, he had to admit that standing next to Chen Ge at the gate of this mountain resort made him feel the safest.

"I'm thinking about a problem." Chen Ge waved his hand and looked down at his black phone.

When they approached the deserted village, Chen Ge's black phone vibrated and he received a new message.

"Surviving evil spirit patron! Congratulations on finding the Living Coffin Village deep in the mountains. Would you like to accept the three-star horror scene Living Coffin Village trial mission?"

"Tell us any questions you have and we will help you analyze them together." Old Wei and Uncle Bai came over.

"No need, I've thought it through." Chen Ge clicked the screen and confirmed to accept the task.

“Living Coffin Village (Scream Index 3 Stars): Survive until dawn in the Living Coffin Village to unlock a new scene.”

"Mission Tip: That day, they all came except me."

Remembering the mission instructions, Chen Ge put away his black phone and looked towards the Living Coffin Village in the darkness.

"Let's go in and take a look."

"Why don't you reconsider it?" Old Wei grabbed Chen Ge's arm and winked at Uncle Bai, hoping that Uncle Bai would help persuade Chen Ge. Unfortunately, it was too dark and Uncle Bai couldn't see it at all.

"I've thought it through." Chen Ge's considerations were completely different from what Lao Wei said.

"You two should stop arguing and go into the village. Although the people there look strange, they have good hearts." Grandpa Bai has come into contact with the people in the Coffin Village, so he has the most say at this time.

"Uncle, are you sure that those who light white paper lanterns at night are kind-hearted?" Lao Wei was the most rational among the three.

Mr. Bai touched the jade pendant on his collar, as if remembering something from a long time ago: "My father told me that there is a group of poor people living in that village. If I succeed in studying medicine in the future, I can go and help them."

Chen Ge has Yin pupils. When he saw Mr. Bai's jade pendant, he actually felt a trace of pain in his eyes.

But the pain came and went quickly, and if he wasn't sensitive, he wouldn't have noticed it.

"Mr. Bai, is the jade pendant on your neck left by your father?"

"Well, my father wore it all the time when he went out to practice medicine. He gave it to me when he came back from the Living Coffin Village for the last time. Then he fell ill."

"It seems that this jade pendant is not ordinary." Chen Ge wanted to study it. He had dealt with ghosts many times and had searched for similar things that could have an effect on ghosts. Unfortunately, after searching for several weeks, he only got a butcher knife.

"My father said that the jade pendant cannot be touched by outsiders. It will not work if someone touches it." Mr. Bai should be telling the truth: "This jade pendant cannot protect you, so you'd better stay with me tonight."

"Uncle, what else did your father say to you?" Old Wei asked, "We are about to enter the village, you can't keep secrets."

"No, he told me that no matter where I go or what I do, I must have a clear conscience and that good people will never be bullied by ghosts." After Uncle Bai said this, Chen Ge understood why he was so dedicated to helping the Jiang Ling sisters. This uncle's family seemed pretty good.

“That makes sense, but ghosts are just like humans. There are good ghosts and bad ghosts.” Chen Ge has always had his own reasons for doing things and insisted on his own “kindness”.

The three of them first walked around the outskirts of the Living Coffin Village. The village was very large, and if they wanted to see the entire picture of the village clearly, they had to climb up the big mountain next to it.

"There are probably hundreds of people living in this village. Don't get into conflict with them when you go in." Grandpa Bai was mainly instructing Chen Ge: "Let's go in from the village entrance. There's no need to hide anything."

The three of them walked along the dirt road at the entrance of the village and entered the Living Coffin Village.

The road was overgrown with weeds and the wooden doors of the houses on both sides were closed. What was even more strange was that there were no door gods on the doors of each household, but instead white upside-down blessing characters, which looked very creepy.

"It feels like all the customs in this place are the opposite of those of living people." Chen Ge stopped at the door of an old house: "Do you want to go in and take a look?"

"It's not a good idea to go in directly, right?" Lao Wei pressed his hand on the pistol on his waist. This place gave him a lot of pressure.

"We are here to look for the child. Sooner or later we will have to come into contact with the people in the village. I guess we will have to trouble Mr. Bai to negotiate with them later." Chen Ge raised his arm, and when his hand was about to touch the wooden door, the white paper lantern hanging on the door of this family suddenly went out.
