Hearing the word “dead,” Chi Shuyan thought of how strange Pan Jiang was. A thought flashed through her mind, but it was too quick for her to catch before it disappeared.

Chi Shuyan was lost in thought, and Ruan Shenglin didn’t dare disturb her. Fortunately, it wasn’t long before Yang Kun’s face finally improved significantly. When he calmed down and thought of how he had pissed his pants in fright, he simply couldn’t accept it.

Fortunately, no one mentioned how he had pissed his pants just now.

He felt that one more day in this village, and he would die. He really regretted taking on this role for Shenglin.

He had brought this on herself!

Not only did Yang Kun regret it so much that his intestines turned green, he wanted to bang his head against a wall. However, it was useless to regret it now. He could only look at Shenglin anxiously and fearfully, then look hurriedly at Master Chi in front of him. He still wanted to ask what was going on with that person just now.

He had clearly seen the villager’s deathly white face in the mirror last night. The other party had even stared at him sinisterly, as if he wanted to eat him up. Thinking about it again, he felt terrified all over. That person definitely hadn’t been normal last night.

Recalling how the person had looked normal earlier, Yang Kun didn’t relax, but instead, became even more worried and afraid. He hurriedly and agitatedly said to Master Chi, afraid that she wouldn’t believe him, “Master Chi, there really was something very wrong with that person last night. He doesn’t look like a normal person at all. Master Chi, you mustn’t be fooled by his appearance.”

Yang Kun itched to outright say that the person wasn’t human.

Afraid that Master Chi wouldn’t believe him, Yang Kun recounted what happened last night in detail. As he spoke, his whole body trembled and his face turned pale.

Yang Kun felt that it wasn’t just this village, but the villagers here were also simply too scary. In the future, when it got dark outside, he wasn’t going to welcome any visitors anymore. He had to be more vigilant.

Wu Haoming, Ruan Shenglin and Xiao Shan were all alarmed by Yang Kun’s words. Even if they weren’t present, they still broke out in a cold sweat for Manager Yang Kun.

Chi Shuyan asked at that moment, “Did you say that he invited you to his place for dinner last night?” As she spoke, her eyes fell on Wu Haoming and Xiao Shan. After the two of them returned last night, they still had some cadaveric qi on them.

Seeing Master Chi look at them, Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming also remembered how their talismans had been charred when they came back last night, and how they had even experienced something similar.

For example, Yang Kun said that when Pan Jiang came to invite him to dinner last night, his face was very abnormal and deathly white, like that of a dead person. It reminded the two of when they ate at Da Qing’s house last night. The faces of Da Qing and the others were especially white and their actions were very strange.

But at that time, the two didn’t think much of it and just drank. They still remembered that when they were sitting at the table and drinking, Da Qing and the others suddenly left for a long time. When they saw the group again, they were suddenly standing behind them and looking at them strangely.

They had looked very reluctant to see them off.

At that time, the two thought that they had a good relationship with Da Qing and the others, but after listening to Yang Kun describe what happened last night, their hearts inexplicably turned cold and their backs broke out in a cold sweat.

Yang Kun gritted his teeth and said, “Master Chi, I really think… there’s something wrong with this village. Also, that Pan person just now… He… he might not be human!”

Yang Kun pretended to be extremely calm on the surface, but in fact, he was panicking inside. At the thought that there was something like this in the village that wasn’t human, he wanted to cry.

He also knew that he could only rely on Master Chi, so the more details he could give her, the better. It would be even better if Master Chi could get rid of that ‘thing.’

Ruan Shenglin had been silent earlier, but after listening to Brother Kun, he had the same thoughts. He panicked even more and said anxiously, “Master Chi, I believe that Brother Kun isn’t talking nonsense. You must believe him. Maybe that person really… really isn’t human! Also, Master Chi, that ‘thing’ dares to appear during the day. Is its cultivation especially profound?”

Chi Shuyan: …

When Ruan Shenglin didn’t hear Master Chi’s reply, he was so scared by his own thoughts and guesses that a chill seeped into his bones. What if that ‘thing’ had especially profound cultivation?

Were they really going to die in this village?

Thinking this, Ruan Shenglin only felt despair and hopelessness.

Chi Shuyan took in the extremely terrified expressions of Film Emperor Ruan Shenglin and Manager Yang Kun. Before the two of them could scare themselves to death, she said, “Don’t worry, I saw it earlier; although there is indeed something strange about him, he is indeed human during the day. He’s just possessed by something. Just be careful at night and you’ll be fine!”

To be honest, she didn’t know what secrets this village had and what secrets Pan Jiang was hiding, but the only thing she could confirm was that Pan Jiang really wasn’t human. Although he was like an ordinary and simple villager during the day and could even walk out and about in broad daylight, she realized that he was indeed a dead person.

Moreover, from the other party’s subtle movements earlier, she could vaguely tell that he didn’t seem to know that he was dead, and still thought that he was a normal person. He wasn’t wary of things like talismans and wasn’t aggressive during the day. Oddities aside, this person behaved completely like an ordinary farmer.

The more she learned, the more Chi Shuyan felt that not only was this village strange, it was also a mystery in every way, including these villagers.

What she wanted to know the most now was whether Pan Jiang was an exception or if everyone in the village was like him.

Chi Shuyan then recalled how Aunt Miao and the village chief were normal people, and discarded the latter notion.

Chi Shuyan had thought of telling Ruan Shenglin and Yang Kun the truth just now, but she saw how terrified they were. If she said too much, it probably wouldn’t do them any good, and would only scare them even more. It was better for them not to know anything.

Sure enough.

After listening to Chi Shuyan, Ruan Shenglin and Yang Kun relaxed a little, but when they thought of possession, they still felt their blood run cold – they would rather be stabbed than be possessed by something.

Chi Shuyan saw through their thoughts and said that they would be fine as long as they had the talismans on them.

At the mention of the talismans, the two finally remembered why they had come this morning and hurriedly pleaded, “Master Chi, can we buy more life-saving talismans from you?”

Afraid that Chi Shuyan would refuse, Yang Kun pleaded repeatedly, “Master Chi, don’t refuse us. We’ll pay any price. Shenglin and I have money. Name your price!”

Chi Shuyan had already agreed last night, so how could she go back on her word today? It wasn’t like she would rip them off. Before she agreed, however, she said, “By the way, Manager Yang, are you alright? Why don’t we go to Aunt Miao’s place for her to have a look at you?” After a pause, she said to Ruan Shenglin, “You can bring your wife with you. If Aunt Miao is really skilled, she can help take a look at the child in her stomach!”
