people?
Lanzhou University looked around and found the room completely empty, with no one in sight!
"Damn it, we're doomed!"
He sat up straight in surprise, just about to tell the village chief.
But he found that no matter how hard he opened his mouth or tried to speak, he couldn't make a sound.
He frantically choked himself, and the village chief could only hear screams of "Ahhh!" He immediately became alert, "What's going on? Have they found out?"
"Where are they? Don't tell me they've all run away!"
"Lanzhou University, you're incredibly demanding of others, but you don't care about yourself at all, right?"
"Hmph, you probably wish something bad would happen to me. I was just too dry to speak."
"With their physiques, how could they possibly hurt me?"
"Don't worry, these people are spoiled. They only walked for a few hours yesterday and were exhausted. They haven't gotten up yet and are sleeping like logs. They've also eaten the dried meat."
"They're eating it while complaining, damn it! I treat this stuff like a treasure, and these people dare to complain about it!"
Hearing the familiar, angry voice, the village chief finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's good. Keep a close eye on them!"
"It's fine if they want to wander around the village, just don't let them go to the back mountain. Wait two more days, and after two days, hmph, these people will be useless!"
The village chief, sporting dark circles under his eyes, sat wearily in the main room, a sinister smile on his face.
He was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night after having the "honor" of "seeing" the gods last night!
He vowed to do his job well and let the gods see his abilities!
Lan Cuicui, who was bound hand and foot beside him, saw him becoming increasingly insane and shed two lines of tears in anguish.
Mother, did you see that?
Your death won't awaken even a shred of his conscience!
You died for nothing!
Lan Cuicui knew from a young age that her mother was an exceptionally intelligent person, unlike anyone else in the village.
If she wanted, she had many ways to let those outsiders go quietly without anyone noticing.
Later, the reason she deliberately gave herself away was—
It was to prove my innocence by dying!
She wanted to use her death to awaken a sliver of her father's conscience and make him stop!
Haha, how ridiculous! It's completely useless.
Lan Cuicui felt sorry for her mother, who had married a heartless man and ruined her life at his hands.
I hung up the phone.
Lan Da mechanically lay back down on the bed, tucking himself in with the blanket, completely unlike when he had just woken up.
He lay motionless on the bed like a puppet, not even bothering to close his eyes.
As soon as Mu Zi entered, she was startled by Lan Da's appearance. Fortunately, she didn't have the strength to scream, so she didn't frighten the people behind her.
Otherwise, the chiffon cake would probably be stressed!
That kid usually loves to brag, saying he's brave, but when it comes to a critical moment, he values his life more than anyone else!
They're terrified of dying!
"Why is Lan Da sleeping with his eyes open? Is he going to die?"
"No, I'd better climb that tree and go outside to call the police and a doctor!"
Chiffon turned around and wanted to go back.
He was held tightly by Yao Lin'er. "Are you crazy! Didn't you see the police know we're here? They won't even answer the phone!"
"Who can we turn to if we go out? Nobody's willing to come!"
"Unless you go back to Beijing and get the capital's police and military to come, can Lanzhou University afford to wait?"
“What can’t he wait for? The village chief won’t harm him.”
Yan Miao walked past the crowd, went to the bedside, and snapped her fingers. Lan Da's open eyes closed instantly, and he slept soundly, even snoring.
What are you going to do?
Yao Lin'er took two steps back.
She really likes Yan Miao; she treats her like a younger sister.
But today, for the first time, I began to have doubts about this girl I met on the way.
She clung tightly to Mu Zi, pleading, "Whatever your purpose, Mu Zi and I mean you no harm. Please don't hurt us..."
Does she think she's in cahoots with the village chief?
"You're overthinking it. What I mean is—"
"Lan Da deliberately lured you to the village; he and the village chief are the masterminds!"
Yan Miao was ashamed.
"And what about you... what's your purpose in coming to the village?"
"And why won't they let us leave?"
"Me—"
Yan Miao smiled gently, like a rose in full bloom, so beautiful it touched the heart!
"I am a renowned demon hunter. I heard there are monsters here, so I came to investigate and rid the people of this scourge!"
"Demon hunter, are you kidding me?"
Mu Zi didn't believe it.
At the same time, she did not believe that Yan Miao would harm her.
But she just snapped her fingers and made Lan Da close his eyes and fall asleep. That's too weird!
"Why do you think he's been sleeping until now instead of going to the village chief to report us all missing?"
"That's because I controlled him with a talisman. I'll show you if you don't believe me!"
Another loud snap of the fingers.
Yan Miao smiled confidently.
Lan Da, lying on the bed, suddenly sat up straight like a zombie, then got out of bed, his eyes fixed on her the whole time.
Moreover, his legs were straight, and he didn't look like he had broken bones at all!
He went outside for a walk and came back to bed, just like when they first entered the room.
His eyes weren't closed either!
"If I had any ill intentions, why would I beat around the bush with you? I could have just tied you all up with the village chief, wouldn't that have been enough?"
