Chen Ge and the other two looked at the deformed man in front of them with different expressions.

"Is what you said true?" Grandpa Bai looked the most shocked. He and his father had been to the Living Coffin Village a long time ago. At that time, he just thought that the people in this village looked very strange, and in other aspects they were the same as ordinary people. He never thought that there was such a horrible thing hidden in this village.

"It's all true." The man took a few steps forward and stood at the door of the house: "I could have concealed all this, but now I'm telling you everything. This shows my sincerity."

In a village full of coffins, a deformed man in shrouds was saying some weird words.

Uncle Bai and Old Wei looked at each other, and finally turned their eyes to Chen Ge.

"Don't worry, I want to ask him a question first." Chen Ge motioned for the man to come in: "What's your name?"

"You can call me Aqing."

"Okay." Chen Ge dragged the skull crusher to the man and said, "Can you get us out?"

"Yes, I know the way and I have the ability." The man was a little anxious, as if he didn't have much time left.

"Since you know the way out and have the ability to leave, why don't you take the child and leave by yourself?" In Chen Ge's opinion, the two parties were just using each other. Since A Qing took the initiative to come to him, it meant that the outsider must have something worth using for him: "Are you afraid of being chased by the evil spirit? So you want us to attract the evil spirit's attention?"

"I've never thought about it that way!" Ah Qing waved his hands quickly. He had been trapped in the village and had little contact with the outside world. His expression changed drastically and he could hardly hide his true thoughts.

"If it's not to lure away the evil spirits, then why are you looking for us?"

"In the first month after the baby is born, the woman surnamed Zhu will come to check on the baby in person. If the baby is normal, she will take the baby away directly, but there are exceptions." Ah Qing counted on his fingers: "Every year on the day when the female ghost commits suicide by jumping into the well, the village will hold a sacrificial ceremony. At that time, the woman surnamed Zhu will bring all the babies born in the village within the past three months to a room and let the female ghost choose the appropriate sacrifice."

"Let the female ghost choose?" Chen Ge began to hesitate. The female ghost that Ah Qing mentioned should be the most terrifying ghost in red!

"Today is the day when the female ghost jumped into the well, and the sacrifice will begin soon. This is our chance! During the sacrifice, everyone will be gathered together to wake up the female ghost. All we have to do is sneak into the room and steal the baby before the female ghost wakes up, and then escape from the village!"

"You're dreaming." Chen Ge interrupted the man: "The female ghost you mentioned can destroy the entire village by herself. Even if we escape, we will be in great danger."

"This is the best solution." Ah Qing dug his fingers into the flesh: "The female ghost's hatred is only directed at this village. She is not very interested in outsiders."

"Is that true?"

Ah Qing nodded with difficulty: "Just like she didn't harm the woman surnamed Zhu, I have never seen a female ghost attack outsiders. When you find my child, you take him away, and I will return to the village by the same route. If you are accidentally exposed, I will lie and say that I saw you and lead them in the opposite direction."

"But the key point is that your child is from this village. If we bring him with us, he will probably be targeted by the evil spirits."

“If the evil spirit catches up with you…” Ah Qing lowered his clenched hands, looking resigned to his fate: “Then you can put my child down and leave on your own.”

At this point, Mr. Bai felt a little reluctant: "Why not just agree to him? We can't get out now anyway."

"There are many loopholes in what this guy said." Lao Wei stood in front of the group. "He said that the female ghost wouldn't harm outsiders, but we've only been in this village for a short time and we've already encountered danger several times. I think he might just want to take a gamble. If the female ghost really catches up to us, both us and his child will be in trouble."

"The ghosts you encountered in the village have nothing to do with the female ghost." Ah Qing sighed: "There are fewer and fewer living people in the village, and there are more and more evil things. These are not something I can explain to you in a short time. I can only give you a rough idea. The living people in this village account for 10%, the dead people account for 10%, and the remaining 80% are ghosts."

Before Old Wei could ask anything else, Ah Qing put the shroud back on himself and said, "The sacrifice will begin soon. If you miss this opportunity, you really won't be able to leave!"

"Let's go out with him to take a look. It's not safe to stay here. The ghost baby in red knows where the three of us are." Chen Ge stuffed the skull crusher into his backpack.

"Well...why don't you just put your bag here?" Ah Qing's voice came from under the shroud: "The shroud in the coffin can interfere with the ghost's judgment to a certain extent, but your backpack is too conspicuous."

"It's okay." Chen Ge took out the recorder and walked towards the bedroom next door.

"What are you going to do? We don't have time."

"Getting the shroud won't take long." Chen Ge closed the bedroom door and switched on the recorder.

A minute later, Chen Ge walked out of the house and found two shrouds in two bedrooms.

"You two should carry it with you. If the situation gets worse, you can consider whether to wear it or not." Chen Ge handed the shroud to Old Wei and Grandpa Bai.

Chen Ge was not too worried because Mr. Bai had the jade pendant to protect him. It was mainly because of Old Wei. He didn't want this policeman to have any accidents when he was about to retire.

"Did you find it from the coffin?" Ah Qing looked at the shroud in Chen Ge's hand. There were still traces of painful scratching by fingers on it. The body of the person in front of him was intact, so the person who left these marks could only be the original owner of the shroud.

"Yes, I saw it lying there and no one wanted it, so I picked it up." Chen Ge smiled faintly: "Don't worry, I will return it when I have the chance."

Ah Qing avoided Chen Ge's gaze, not daring to meet his gaze. The man in front of him gave him a special feeling.

Although he was standing in the deepest darkness, he was full of strength and hope, as if the sun was about to rise under his feet.

"Follow me closely. You two better put on your shrouds. Be careful of ghosts."

After Aqing finished speaking, he walked alone in front. He stuck to the left wall and walked towards the street on the left every time he turned. After about six or seven minutes, different buildings began to appear on both sides of the street.

"Have we escaped from the ghost wall?" Wearing his shroud, Old Wei looked very bad.

"Not yet. I'm taking you to the center of the village. The sacrifice will start from here." Ah Qing led Chen Ge and the other two to hide in a nearby house. "I heard that there are other outsiders participating in this sacrifice. I will try to contact them and find out what they have to say."
