”I really don't dare to think about this matter, but if it was really only if it was the real deal, I would give up on the chance to be reincarnated. Even if I had to forever be a lonely ghost in this world, accompanying Big Brother Yue Feng by my side, I would still be willing …”
If this wasn't solved one by one, it would be hard to find out the result.
Since I already know what two people are thinking, then can I become the gossiping Red Queen? I, Su Su, like to do this kind of thing.
After making up her mind, she decided to discuss this with Zhang Ziyuan again. Even if this matter was successful, if Xiao Cui could give up on the chance to reincarnate again, she would simply be a ghost cultivator.
After exiting Xiao Cui's room, I quietly returned to discuss it with him.
When we reached Fengdu Town, we discovered that the citizens here seemed to be a little strange, and their eyes were all staring blankly.
The town beside the Fengdu was not big. It was an ancient city that was made up of many small alleys, and many people had left the place because the place was remote and too close to the ghost door of legends.
The last time they came, the villagers in Fengdu were not as strange as they were now. They were all warm and hospitable, after all, it had been a long time since anyone had come to Fengdu.
But in this way, I discovered that their eyes were lifeless, as if they had lost all sense of their own, and that their speech was also very dull.
”Look, did something happen here?”
”Definitely, they should be infected by evil spirits, but although the Fengdu is close to the ghost realm, but according to the rules, the Yin world does not care about the affairs of the Yang world, so the people who live in the Fengdu town don't have any troubles.”
Xiao Cui seemed to be very afraid, and she shrank back: ”I feel that this atmosphere is strange. Although the yin qi on me is also very heavy, the atmosphere here makes me feel very uncomfortable.”
”Xiao Cui, what's wrong with you? Where do you feel uncomfortable?” Yue Feng asked.
”Could it be that Ghost King has already recovered and can leave, making a move on the villagers closest to Fengdu?” I asked.
”I don't think the Ghost King would do this. After all, he is a tyrant of his generation. If he wanted to kill these villagers, he would have just killed them. He wouldn't use such an evil trick.” What Zhang Ziyuan said was right, who exactly was the one who caused all these villages to fall victim to this evil?
”Old man, let me ask you for some news. Have there been any outsiders here recently?” I asked an old lady who was passing by, hoping to get some clues, but she didn't seem to care about me. She looked at me, waved her hand, and left.
”Eh? Old man? Can't you hear me? ”
That old granny no longer paid attention to me and quickly left.
”What's going on? After asking so many people, all of them look weird, as if they saw a ghost.”
”Let's wait for the others and find a place to rest first. I didn't expect them to be so slow. An old man around seventy or eighty years old should be very slow.” Ever since the incident where Xiao Cui was captured, Yue Feng seemed to have some enmity towards all the Daoists.
There were too few guests here, and there were no inns at all. It was not easy to find a smaller one, and it seemed to be made from an ordinary house. There were a total of six rooms.
Originally, I wanted to rent six rooms, but there's already someone living in one of them. Is there really anyone else that came to this kind of place other than us?
”Then I'll be troubling you. Give us five rooms, our friends will be here shortly.”
”Alright, just you wait.” The shop owner's face was expressionless and his tone was cold. He didn't have the cunning of a businessman at all. One look was enough to tell that there was a problem.
”We really have to live here. I'm really scared!” Xiao Cui hid behind Yue Feng and looked around.
This Xiao Cui is too timid. You are a ghost yourself, what is there to be afraid of in Fengdu?
Yue Feng, you and Xiao Cui can just squeeze in one. I believe you won't do anything disrespectful. ”
Hearing this, Xiao Cui's face went from red to neck, she knew she was embarrassed, but the room was really not enough.
Besides, this was such a weird inn. If something were to happen at night, two people would have a room to take care of each other.
He had originally planned to give Zhang Shaowu a call and tell him the location of the inn, but when he realised that he had entered the territory of Fengdu, there was no signal on his phone.
”Of course there's no cell phone signal in this place. Who would cover the internet in such a strange place?”
”But Zhang Ziyuan, if that's the case, then aren't the villagers of this place cut off from the rest of the world? ”And I remember, the front desk of this shop seems to have a landline number …”
With that said, I seemed to have understood something, but at the same time, I seemed to have immediately become confused.
”Yes, if there's a phone at the front desk, it means that this place should have a signal, right? Then why is it suddenly gone? Could it be that it's broken? ”
Zhang Ziyuan and I decided to ask the Big Auntie at the front desk, but when we came out, we realized that the front desk was empty.
”Where is he?”
”Don't worry about it. Let's try out the front desk phone first.” Zhang Ziyuan picked up the phone and tried to dial.
In the end, he put down the phone with a frown and shook his head at me. ”No signal.”
It was strange, however, that the phone and the phone were out of signal at the same time. We looked around and found no one in this shop!
We will immediately knock on Yue Feng's and Xiao Cui's door.
”What's wrong, Miss Su Su?” Yue Feng seemed to be sleepy, and his eyes were already drowsy.
”Are you and Xiao Cui alright?”
I looked inside the room. Xiao Cui was currently resting on the bed, while Yue Feng had made a bed on the floor.
”No, what's wrong, Sister Su Su?”
”I told you not to call me sister!” I feel that there's something wrong with this inn. Zhang Ziyuan and I have searched around, but there's no one here anymore. ”
Yue Feng was shocked when he heard it, ”Ah? It can't be? There was another Big Auntie at the front desk just now. ”
”There's really no one else. I'm afraid that something might happen if I go to sleep tonight, how about this, you stay here and watch Xiao Cui. Don't let anything happen to him.
Yue Feng nodded his head: ”En, you guys be careful!”
Zhang Ziyuan and I walked out of the inn onto the street. The sky wasn't completely dark yet, and there were still a few people walking around. One of the girls caught our attention; she was actually using her phone to make a call.
”Miss!” I ran over and stopped the girl.
The girl stopped and looked straight at me.
”Girl, are you on the phone? May I ask why there is no signal when I arrive at your place? Do you have a dedicated network of signals here? ”
The girl continued to stare at me as if she didn't understand what I was saying, and then she kept the phone pressed to her ear.
”Miss, girl?”
