After leaving the valley, his phone completely lost its signal. The electric compass that Chen Ge downloaded beforehand malfunctioned as well. Something told him that the world inside and outside the valley were different. Perhaps because he had met plenty of ghosts, he was sensitive to these things. He tipped his head back and glanced through the canopy. There was no moon or stars in the sky. The night was like a cloth smothering them no matter where they went.

“Be careful, we’ve almost reached the place.” After another ten minutes of walking, Chen Ge’s group finally left the jungle. They looked down the horizon, and what they saw confused and shocked them.

“Those are… lanterns?” Ol’ Wei touched Master Bai’s shoulder, but this was also the first time Master Bai had come to Coffin Village at night.

“I have no clue.” He took out a piece of jade and wore it around his neck. “I’ll scout ahead. Stay close to me; don’t wander off.”

The three of them walked toward the village, and the shapes of the buildings became clearer and clearer. No one would have expected a village to be hidden in such a desolate place. All the building were built in a style from decades ago; they looked old and abandoned, but the most curious point was every family had a white lantern hanging before the door.

The lanterns were like white eyeballs, hanging by the side of the road, staring at the three newcomers.

There were people inside the village!

This village that was supposedly abandoned decades ago due to an epidemic still had people living there.

“Master Bai, are you going to enter just like this?” Ol’ Wei moved to stand beside Chen Ge. He still remembered Captain Yan’s order. His mission that night was to protect Chen Ge.

“Let me think about this.” Master Bai looked at the empty village and the white lanterns that lined the road, and his palms were covered with cold sweat. “In the past, my father always came in the morning, so I had no idea this is how Coffin Village looks at night.”

With the bitter smile on his face, Master Bai’s meaning was clear; he did not want to enter the village. Of the three of them, he was the only one who had entered Coffin Village before. He understood the creepiness of the village, and if morning was already so scary, night did not bear thinking about.

“Don’t panic, we don’t need to enter directly.” Ol’ Wei then patted Chen Ge on his shoulder. “How about we take a look around the village first?”

Chen Ge did not answer, and he stood at the back of the party alone. His expression was unreadable.

“What’s wrong with you?” Ol’ Wei was worried about Chen Ge. Even though he admitted Chen Ge could be a bit rash, he had to admit that facing the entrance to this ghost village, standing beside Chen Ge gave him the most security.

“I’m thinking about something.” Chen Ge shrugged and lowered his head to look at the black phone. When they neared the village, Chen Ge’s black phone had vibrated, and he had received a new message.

“Congratulations, Specter’s Favored! You’ve found Coffin Village deep inside the mountain. Do you wish to accept the Trial Mission for the three-star scenario, Coffin Village?”

“What’s on your mind, why don’t you share it with us?” Ol’ Wei and Master Bai walked close to him.

“Thanks, but I’ve already made up my mind.” Chen Ge clicked on the accept key.

“Coffin Village (three-star scenario): Survive until morning inside Coffin Village, and the new scenario will be unlocked.

“Mission Hint: That day, other than me, they all came.”
