The lantern suddenly went out, and only the spot where Chen Ge was standing was dark.
"What's going on?" Master Bai and Ol 'Wei were shocked.
Chen Ge's hand hung in the air, and it did not fall on the door. "I'm not sure, but it doesn't feel like a coincidence."
There was no wind earlier, and the lantern was hanging high up. No one had touched it, so how did it go out?
The weak light flickered. As the lantern above Chen Ge's head went out, the other lanterns in the village started to shake, and there was a strange pressure.
Chen Ge and Ol 'Wei turned to Master Bai, who had not seen something like this before. "Should we retreat for now?"
He took two steps back, and when he looked down the dirt road, he suddenly stopped.
"Watch out! Someone's coming! "
"Someone?" Chen Ge looked in the direction that Master Bai was looking. Under the light of the swaying lanterns, a blurry shadow slowly approached. "It seems to be waving at us?"
The shadow moved faster, and Chen Ge finally got a good look at it.
It was an old lady in a dark coat. She kept her head lowered as she walked forward, and she only stopped when she was about to run into someone.
"Did you come from outside as well?" The old lady's voice was strange, and it made Chen Ge feel uncomfortable.
"Also? Someone else came into the village tonight? "Chen Ge noticed the old lady's choice of words and asked.
"Yes." When the old lady spoke, she kept her head lowered. Chen Ge could not see her face like her face was very scary.
Thinking back to Jiang Ling's sister, many people in Coffin Village had deformities, so Chen Ge would not purposely look at her face.
"Were there two children and a middle-aged man who entered the village earlier than us?" Chen Ge asked again, but the old lady did not answer. She did not seem to have come to find Chen Ge in the first place.
With her head pressed down, the old lady gave the impression that her head was about to fall off. However, she did not feel anything wrong. She maintained that strange posture. "Don't knock on the door when it's dark. It might not be a person who opens the door."
They didn't know who the old lady was talking to, but the three of them were blocked in the middle of the road. The night was pressing down on their heads, and the lanterns on both sides swayed more and more violently.
"The village hasn't been peaceful recently. Don't run around. I'll take you to find a place to stay." The old lady turned around and walked in the direction she came from. Her steps were small, but she walked very fast. Coupled with her head that hung down to her chest, she looked very strange.
"Should we follow them?" Ol 'Wei looked at Master Bai and Chen Ge. When he saw the old lady, he wanted to leave.
"Let's go with her first." It was Master Bai who spoke. "This old lady gives me a familiar feeling. Could it be that I've seen her before when I was young?"
Master Bai led the way, and Chen Ge and Ol 'Wei followed behind him.
The old lady led them down the dirt road. They took a few turns before stopping. "You'll stay here tonight. We'll talk in the morning."
She kept her head down, and her tone of voice never changed. It felt like she was a puppet.
"There are three rooms in the house, one for each of you. Don't come out after you go in, and don't go anywhere. Don't touch the rope on the window, and don't touch the cleaver behind the door. Just stay in bed and wait for the night to pass. "
"One room for each of us? The three of us can squeeze into one room for the night. " Master Bai thought to himself. No matter what, he had to hold onto Chen Ge tonight. If they were separated, the man would definitely run out on his own.
"There are three rooms in the house, one for each of you …"
To Master Bai and Chen Ge's surprise, after the old lady heard Master Bai's question, she repeated what she had said earlier, and her voice sounded even worse.
"Granny, we're here to find our child. I'm afraid there might be an accident in the morning. Can you bring us to see the other people who came from the outside?" Chen Ge studied the old lady, but he did not see any abnormalities on her.
Was there really something wrong with her face?
When the old lady turned around, Chen Ge bent down to look at her face.
The face looked normal, and there was nothing out of place.
"Her eyes aren't gouged out, and the shape of her face is normal, but I feel like I've seen her somewhere before." Chen Ge talked to himself. He looked at the old lady and then at Master Bai. "Master, you said earlier that this old lady gave you a familiar feeling. Could she be one of the missing people from Lin Guan Village? "
"I didn't see her face, but from her dress, she should be from Lin Guan Village." Master Bai pushed open the door of the house behind him. The house was not big, and the two white cards on the door made one's heart flutter.
"She looks like someone from Lin Guan Village, and both of us feel familiar." Chen Ge thought about it, and his expression changed. "I know who she is!"
"Who is it?"
"Ol 'Wei, do you remember the first family we went to when we first arrived at Lin Guan Village?"
"Yes, the owner was a middle-aged man." Ol 'Wei had a good memory.
"There was an altar table in the room, and there was an old lady's black and white picture on the table." Chen Ge lowered his voice to the lowest volume possible. "The old lady who led us here looks just like the old lady in the black and white picture!"
"How is that possible? Are you sure? "Ol 'Wei could not believe Chen Ge.
"Now that you mention it, I also think she looks like an old lady from Lin Guan Village!" The characters in Master Bai's mind overlapped. "But the old lady passed away a long time ago."
"No matter what, it's already happened." Chen Ge quickly calmed down. "Let's assume the old lady isn't a person. Then, should we stay in the house that she arranged for us?"
The white cards on the door rustled in the wind. Master Bai and Ol 'Wei could not make up their minds.
"Let's go in and take a look. The old lady was close to me when she was alive, so I don't think she would harm us." Master Bai was not so sure, so he added, "I don't think so."
Chen Ge's group entered the house. It was similar to the houses at the village entrance, but there were no white lanterns hanging outside the door.
"It's different from what the old lady said. This house only has one room." Chen Ge walked in front. He walked through the empty yard and opened the door.
A strange smell rushed out from inside the house. After they got used to it, the three of them looked into the house with widened eyes.
In the middle of the only room, there were three black coffins.
