Looking at the thick fog in front of them, everyone raised their vigilance. After all, this was the first time Kuang San and Hu Tao had come to the main world. No one knew what would happen here. Although they were doing quite well in their respective worlds, this world was completely different from the one they came from ….
"Be careful, it's hard to walk through here. It took me a long time to get out last time …. To tell you the truth, I didn't even know there was a village here before this."
"How did you get in?"
Fangzheng asked curiously when he heard Fina's words. You didn't even know there was a village here, so how did you get here?
Hearing Fangzheng's question, Fina turned her head and looked ahead.
"… I'm lost …."
Well, that's a good and powerful reason.
Fangzheng shrugged and looked at the fog in front of him. After a moment of silence, he made a decision.
"Let's go in and see what's going on."
The moment they stepped into the thick fog, the white, moist fog hit them in the face, making them feel a little suffocated. Fangzheng frowned and scanned his surroundings. He saw that the visibility in the fog was only about a hundred meters. He couldn't even see the trees on both sides clearly.
"Where did this fog come from?"
"I don't know."
Fina shook her head.
"I was walking in the mountains before, and then I suddenly encountered this fog. I asked the villagers, and they said it's a natural phenomenon here. It happens a few times a year. Almost no one in the village goes out these days …. But now they can't go out even if they want to. I've checked. It's just an ordinary thick fog. There's no poison, and it's not an illusion. "
"It's not …."
Fangzheng was a prophet, so he was born to restrain illusions. If this fog was an illusion, it would definitely not escape his eyes. But the thick fog did not look like an illusion, so it could only be said that … .it was a natural phenomenon.
He did not know if it was an illusion, but after entering the fog, his surroundings were silent. Previously, when they were climbing up the mountain, they could still hear the chirping of birds in the forest. But now, they could hear nothing except their own footsteps and voices, not even the sound of the breeze.
"Ugh … this is not a good feeling …"
Hu Tao held the shovel in her hand and looked around anxiously.
"Why do I feel like I'm in a horror game …"
You don't say, I feel the same way.
Upon hearing Hu Tao's complaints, Fangzheng nodded inwardly. All he wanted to do now was to see if he would encounter a town that looked like it had been burned by a fire and a signboard that said "Welcome to Silent Hill" when he walked out of the fog.
That shouldn't be the case.
They did not encounter any threats along the way, nor did they encounter any monsters or enemies that took the opportunity to ambush them. Under Fina's lead, Fangzheng and the others walked out of the foggy area in less than 20 minutes and arrived in front of a village.
"So this is … Huh?"
As she spoke, Fina pointed at the village in front of her. Then, she froze. Looking at Fina's reaction, Fangzheng and the others also looked forward.
In front of them was a very ordinary village. There were people coming and going on the road, and some people were working in the fields. It looked very normal, and there was nothing wrong with it. However, Fina looked as if she had seen something unbelievable. Her eyes widened in surprise as she stared at the scene in front of her.
"How can this be … It wasn't like this before."
Fina's eyes widened in surprise. She slowly walked into the village. She looked at the crowd on both sides as if she had seen some rare creatures.
"Everyone was lying in bed before. They couldn't even get down to the ground …"
"Yo, isn't this Miss Magister?"
At that moment, a spirited old man dressed like a farmer strode over with farming tools on his shoulder. He smiled and waved at Fina. When she saw the old man, Fina was even more surprised.
"Uncle Rand? Are you alright? "
"I'm alright? What could possibly happen to me? "
Hearing Fina's question, the old farmer was taken aback for a moment, but he still replied with a smile.
"Look, I'm fine. Where did you go, Miss Magister? You left without saying a word. We were worried sick. "
"Huh …? I went to find someone to help me get rid of the plague. By the way, Uncle Rand, why is everyone fine? Is the plague cured? "
"Plague? What plague? "
Facing Fina's question, the old farmer showed a surprised expression.
"What are you talking about, Miss Magister? We're fine here. Nothing happened. Why are you talking about a plague? Did you sleep too much? Hahaha …"
"Huh? But … "
"It's rare to see someone treat a nightmare as real as you, Miss Magister. By the way, my little girl is still waiting for you. Didn't you say you were going to tell her stories from the Holy Bible? She's looking forward to it. When she saw you leave, she even cried her heart out. Now that you're back, Miss Magister, go and see her. "
After saying this, the old farmer carried his farming tools and walked towards the other side of the field. Fina stood there in a daze, looking at the back of the old farmer walking away. For a moment, she didn't know what to say.
"Big Brother Fangzheng, what's going on?"
At this moment, Hu Tao came over with a shovel and asked curiously.
"Didn't Fina say that the situation here wasn't very urgent? Why does it look like there's nothing wrong at all? "
"It's a little strange."
Hearing Hu Tao's question, Fangzheng nodded. Of course, he didn't believe that Fina would lie. In fact, the young magister didn't look like she had lied before. Judging from her expression, it was obvious that Fina was dumbfounded and didn't know how to react.
Of course, if Fina wasn't lying, then the only possibility was that the cultists had cast an illusion on Fina and controlled her mind. Or maybe it was too late when Fina came back, and the villagers were possessed by some evil beings. That was how many games and movies unfolded.
However, when Fina was talking to the old farmer, Fangzheng had secretly activated a divine spell to detect the situation. Everything was normal. In front of them was a normal old man. He wasn't possessed by any evil spirits, nor was he under some kind of spell. Everything was normal, as normal as it could be.
"… Let's go to Uncle Rand's house first. It's where I stayed for the night."
At this moment, Fei Na also came to her senses. Although she did not know what had happened, she still shook her head. Then, she led Fangzheng and company into the village. Under Fina's lead, the group soon passed through a small path in the village and arrived at the end of a hill on the other side of the village.
"This is Uncle Rand's house. He …. Hmm?"
While introducing the place to Fangzheng and the others, Fina walked up the slope. When Fina saw the wooden house in front of her, she was stunned. The young magister tilted her head and looked at the wooden house, then at the tree next to it with a puzzled expression.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? "
Seeing Fina's puzzled expression, Fangzheng stepped forward and asked. Fina shook her head.
"I don't know, but I remember that Uncle Rand's house should be on the left …. That tree should be on the right …. That's strange, did I remember wrong?"
"Sister Magister!"
At that moment, a tender voice rang out. Several children who were playing under the tree ran over and surrounded Fina.
"Where did you go?"
"We all missed you. You haven't finished the story yet."
"Who are these people?"
"Ah, they're my companions …. Alright, I'll finish the story from yesterday."
It could be seen that Fina was also a little dizzy at this moment. She allowed the children to pull her to the side of the tree, and then told them the story in a methodical manner. At that moment, Kuang San, who was dressed like a mage, came to Fangzheng's side with a smile.
"How is it? Mr. Fangzheng? Have you found out who's lying? "
"Yes, I have."
Hearing Kuang San's question, Fangzheng shook the book in his hand.
"What's interesting is that neither side is lying."
"Huh?"
It was Kuang San's turn to be surprised.
"In other words, what Miss Fina said about the people in this village being infected with the plague is true, but it's also true that the people in this village have never been infected with the plague?"
"That's right."
Fangzheng nodded and flipped open the 'Unfinished Chapters' in his hand again. He had used the Omniscient Angel to investigate Fina's actions yesterday and found that everything the priestess said was true. She came to this village because she was lost and got along with the people here. Then, she found out that a plague was spreading in this village, and Uncle Rand was indeed infected with the plague. He couldn't hold on for much longer before Fina left.
However, what happened next in the village was rather messy and even contradictory in the records of the 'Long Gai Duan Duan'.
For example, according to the book, Uncle Rand breathed his last shortly after Fina left the village and turned into an undead creature. He killed his own family.
But after a few lines, the next paragraph suddenly changed to Uncle Rand getting out of bed, washing his face, brushing his teeth, eating, and going out to farm.
Then, the next paragraph changed to the plague spreading in the village, and almost all the people had died a violent death.
And after that paragraph, the next paragraph changed to the whole village being happy and everyone living a peaceful and beautiful life ….
To put it simply, this was like two different authors writing the same plot at the same time, but interspersed in between in completely different directions.
"This is really interesting …."
Looking at the records in the book, Fangzheng couldn't help but sigh. What the Omniscient Angel recorded were facts that had already happened. But how could these two contradictory facts happen at the same time?
What secrets were hidden in this village?
Thinking of this, Fangzheng became more and more interested.
