Moreover, if it had really been performed like a shadow play, the people from the central government would have left long ago.
Then what did the previous distress signal mean?
Why bring everyone here?
"Captain Jing, have you noticed that all the villagers here are men?"
Jing Yao immediately looked around.
All the villagers sitting around were male, not a single woman.
Even except Xiaoqi, no other children have it.
Moreover, those villagers always give people a weird feeling.
What's more, they always look at the female members of her team intentionally or unintentionally.
If the situation wasn't unclear, Jing Yao really wanted to poke their eyes out!
"Sister Jing, I always feel like those villagers look at us strangely."
Li You and the others were sitting at the table next to them, and at this moment they were stretching their bodies to complain to Jing Yao.
Jing Yao frowned, and even Li You felt it. It can be seen how blatant these villagers are.
"Village Chief Tao, it's getting late. I'm going to take them back to rest first."
When the villagers heard that they were leaving, they didn't react at all, but Tao Shu and Xiaoqi showed expressions of regret.
"Are you going to rest so early?"
"Well, the banquet is almost over."
"Then I'll let Xiaoqi take you back."
Tao Shu said this and gently pushed Xiaoqi.
"No need, we know the way back. Xiaoqi is a child, and children like to be in a lively environment, so let him stay here."
Cai Wenming immediately jumped out to refuse.
After saying that, he quickly pulled Jing Yao and Li Jie away.
Now that the captain has left, it is natural for the team members to leave with him.
Even if they walked a long way away, Jing Yao and the others could still feel the gazes coming from behind them.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief until there was no more sight coming from behind.
It was at this time that the sound of heavy bells and drums rang out throughout the village.
And the sound came from where they left.
Everyone turned around and looked over there. The sound was extremely similar to the last scene of the shadow play.
They are offering sacrifices, but what are they offering sacrifices to?
"Qi Poxiao, go and take a look."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Poxiao, who had been standing in the team, disappeared.
Except for An City, people in the other two cities were stunned.
They all knew that everyone here had superpowers, but no one knew what those powers were.
Unless the other party says it first.
Anshi is truly a place where hidden dragons and crouching tigers are everywhere!
"Captain Jing, should we go back first, or wait here for him to come back?"
"Wait until he comes back."
Jing Yao said this while observing the appearance of the entire village.
The houses on both sides were still dark, and there was no other lighting on this road except for their place.
She looked up at the sky above her head. The moon hung high in the night sky, emitting a soft light.
Light?
Jing Yao looked at the houses that were still pitch black under the moonlight.
"Turn off the lights!"
Although Meng Mingyuan was puzzled, he still blew out the lantern in his hand as Jing Yao said.
The surroundings suddenly fell into darkness.
Jing Yao stretched out her hand, and it was indeed pitch dark.
"That's not right. The moon is so bright, why do I feel like I can't see my hand in front of me?"
Cai Wenming soon discovered something was wrong.
He stayed here two nights longer than anyone else, and because the lanterns were lit before dark, he never noticed the lighting problem here.
Everyone looked at their hands, and it was so dark that they couldn't see their hands.
Then Jing Yao took out the lighting artifact, and everyone suddenly regained their light.
Jing Yao shone the flashlight towards the house next door.
Although the flashlight's light has extremely strong penetrating power, it cannot reach deep into the house.
"Is your flashlight broken?"
This was Meng Mingyuan’s first reaction.
"It's not broken, it's the light that's blocked."
Li Jie looked at where the light shone.
"Captain Jing!"
Jing Yao turned around and looked at Qi Poxiao who had returned. His face was pale, as if he had seen some horrifying scene.
"Brother Qi, what's wrong with you?"
Xu Qingfeng stepped forward and looked at Qi Poxiao with some worry on his face.
"I'm fine."
Qi Poxiao pushed Xu Qingfeng away and came over to support his hand.
"Captain Jing, do you know what those villagers are doing? They're actually performing a sacrifice. No, it could be considered a sacrifice. They seem to be worshipping something."
"Did you see clearly?"
"No, they almost found me!"
Speaking of Qi Poxiao, I still feel scared.
This group of villagers had somehow enclosed themselves in a circle with bells.
It was true that Qi Poxiao was invisible, but he did not expect the existence of bells, so he touched those bells.
If I hadn't run fast, I might have been in the hands of those villagers by now.
"Those villagers are so weird! Using white for decoration is fine, but they're also holding a sacrifice!"
Jing Yao was silent for a long time and looked at the houses on both sides.
"Let's go back to that yard first."
Originally, she was planning to look at the B&Bs on both sides.
But the current situation is a bit strange, so let’s not make things more complicated.
The moment the flashlight in her hand was turned off, Jing Yao clearly saw something flash by.
She turned on the flashlight again and walked towards that direction carefully.
Only when the distance got closer did Jing Yao see clearly that what flashed by was a copper bell only half the size of a fingernail.
If you look more closely, you will see that the areas leading to the houses here are all decorated with such copper bells.
