The planting area in Kapa Village is not small. Lake stood on the edge of the field and looked over. The dark land was covered with plant seedlings, and a large group of people were working in the fields.

Gray and white clothes seem to be the mainstream here. Whether they are men or women, they are all wearing that monotonous color with their heads buried and their backs bent, and they are busy in this area.

Lake squatted down and stretched out one foot to explore the ground in the field. He had never seen the land where fruits and vegetables were grown. He didn't know how it was different from ordinary soil.

He felt it as soon as he touched the top of his feet. It was a soft feeling. Strangely enough, Lake's first reaction was not to say that the soil was any different, but to think of the hash browns he often made at home. Under the hard appearance, it was

Soft and delicious inside.

Two unrelated things, but Lake connected them together. It was clear that he had not left home for a day, so why did he start to miss them.

He shook his head, trying to get this thought out of his mind. This was the opportunity he had dreamed of, going out on an adventure!

The journey full of unknowns and surprises has not yet begun. Why do I start to think of home? This is not right.

"What are you thinking about here?"

Under the guidance of the village chief, Buti parked his car beside the barn behind the village.

According to the village chief You'er, because their village was established a long time ago, the widest part of the road can barely accommodate two carriages, and the width of Buti's Far Traveler is equivalent to two carriages.

, if this behemoth is allowed to park in the village square, the villagers in the village will not be able to travel.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Buti. I can only let you park the car next to the barn."

Youl also came to Lake on crutches and expressed his apology to Buti.

"It's okay, it's okay!" Buti didn't feel that You'er had neglected him in any way. After all, if it's inconvenient, you can't force him. "We're just here to buy some food, and by the way, we'll see if you have any meat."

For sale.”

At this time, a middle-aged man wearing a gray sweatshirt came over. There was mud on the cuffs, corners and trousers rolled up high, and his white temples were covered with sweat. As the man approached,

A foul smell also hit Buti and Lake.

When Lake smelled the smell, he quickly shrank his neck and took a few steps back. Forgive him for being rude. He had never smelled such an unpleasant stench in his entire life. It was like adding the leftover meat soup at home to the soup.

The smell of leftovers simmering in the rotting garbage cans on the street is sour and unpleasant.

Buti also smelled this smell, but fortunately he was experienced and well-informed and did not show any obvious reaction like Lake.

You'er is old, and he didn't smell it when he first saw the middle-aged man, but a breeze blew by, and the stench rushed to him. You'er frowned and waved away the stench.

, while raising the crutch in his hand against the middle-aged man who had approached them.

"Martin! Did you fall into the cesspit? Why does it stink so much!"

You'er's expression was a little awkward, and he scolded the middle-aged man in front of him in a harsh tone.

"Uncle Youl, I was in the chicken coop on the chicken farm just now dealing with the carcasses of dead chickens with Tom, and you hurriedly asked someone to notify me to come to the barn."

Martin seemed a little embarrassed when he saw his uncle's disgusted expression, so he consciously took a few steps back and walked downwind.

"How many more died?"

Youl had no reaction when he heard the news, and just asked Martin in a normal tone.

"Four, chickens just arrived from Cali last night."

Martin nodded to Buti and Lake before continuing to answer Youl's question.

Buti just stood quietly and watched the two of them asking and answering questions, but Lake was unwilling to stand here and listen to what they had to say. He used a very artificial coughing sound to attract Yuer who was still talking.

In the eyes of his uncle and nephew, Buti looked at Lake's performance and said nothing. He still stood there with his hands behind his back.

"Oh, oh, oh! I'm sorry!" You'er seemed to have just noticed something, and turned around to apologize to Buti and Lake, "Look at my brain, I'm really sorry! Martin, hurry up and take the lead.

The two of them go to choose their dishes, but we can't let them just stand like this."

"Village Chief, if you don't mind, I can actually provide some help."

Bu grabbed Lake, who was about to follow Martin, and said to the village chief You'er in Lake's doubtful eyes.

"Did you see it?" You'er, who was pretending to be embarrassed and apologizing at first, heard that Buti had exposed his thoughts. He also put down the smile on his face and said with a frown: "I don't want to do this either, but again

If he dies like this, the people in the village will no longer be able to hide it. According to my nephew Martin's guess, he is sure that these are definitely not made by animals, but should be caused by some kind of ghost."

"Then why do you infer that we are capable of helping you solve this problem?"

Buti asked, grabbing Lake's hand.

"I have actually arrived at the entrance of the village a long time ago. I have hidden in the dark and secretly observed the two of you. Mr. Buti looked at my hiding place more than once, so I guessed that Mr. Buti should be a professional.

After this method, I acted out this scene with my nephew Martin to see if I can make you two kind-hearted and help us."

"Old man, just because dad found you in hiding, you believe that we can help you solve this problem?"

Lake couldn't believe it. Some people dared to place their hopes on strangers just because they thought so.

Youl first waved to Martin, signaling him to leave first. After receiving the signal, Martin bowed to Buti and Lake and left quickly.

"So Uncle Martin has come and gone, just as a tool?"

Looking at Martin's retreating back, Lake couldn't help but sigh.

"I just plan to test the two of you. If you are not willing to help our Kapa Village solve the problem, then I have no choice. I have to wait until tomorrow to go to the Adventurers Association in Cali City to release the mission and see if anyone can.

Accept this commission."

Just as Ur was about to answer Lake's question, he heard Lake sighing about Martin, and had to laugh twice before continuing.

"Then why don't you report the situation to the city hall directly under your Kapa Village and ask Nakali City to send a field law enforcement team?"

Buti thought You'er's idea was strange. When something happened in the village, they didn't go to the official channel first. Instead, they relied on the power of the private sector. Although the National Adventurers Association now belongs to the state-owned sector, the adventurers under it

They are not official people.

"If you don't report it to the city, there are usually some ulterior secrets in novels. Master, what is your secret?"

Lake asked curiously as he looked at Youl's slightly changed expression.

"Is it a ghost? Generally speaking, you don't dare to report ghosts. After all, souls that stay in the human world because of strong obsessions don't look like they are naturally occurring, right?"

Buti knocked the somewhat excited Lake hard and asked in a low voice while Lake held his head and complained.

Ghosts are dead creatures who have strong obsessions and choose to stay in the human world to complete their unfinished wishes. However, under the rules of the human world, they will become crazy because of their existence in an environment full of the power of order.

, has lost its rationality and cannot communicate, and is a very dangerous type of ghost. (Generally, it is a spirit body formed by the blending of elements and souls)

There is a saying circulating in the Law Enforcement Bureau that wherever ghosts appear, there will definitely be a big case.

"I don't dare, I don't dare to lie. No one has died in our village for several years."

Obviously, this sentence spread widely. After hearing Buti's speculation, Youer seemed a little panicked and quickly denied it.

"That's not necessarily a human being."
