The barren fields were overgrown with weeds, and the field facilities had long been damaged.
The surrounding fields are uncultivated and have been abandoned for an unknown period of time.
But the small town in the middle of the field is still bustling with activity.
Pairs of cloth shoes and straw sandals with a sense of age are worn on the cracked and mottled stone streets.
The porters in coarse shorts, the shopkeepers setting up stalls, and the serfs in ragged clothes crowded the road, which was not spacious.
This is a small town that is not very prosperous and can even be called poor.
However, it does look a bit lively after all.
But, it's just a look.
If only the pedestrians filling the streets could make even a little noise.
If there are intersections and alleys stained with various animal feces, you can see even a dog, a chicken, or even a swallow or sparrow landing under the eaves.
This town might be able to be more normal.
In fact, this is an almost silent town, and no one seems to have the ability to speak.
At the same time, everyone seems to have no ability to communicate.
They're just going their own way, doing their own thing, and staying in this place, that's all.
Soon after, an eight-carriage sedan chair appeared that was completely golden, as if it was made of gold. But if you look closely, you will find that it is just a layer of gold on the surface. It came from the richest landowner in the center of the town, Mr. Huangshi Qian.
Inside the house, it slowly shook out.
There were exactly eight people, no more and no less, carrying the gold-plated sedan steadily all the way to the gate of the town called "Huangshi Town".
When walking halfway.
This golden sedan suddenly collided with an old man with a haggard body and white hair, who looked like a skeleton and was carrying a lot of dry firewood.
The old man immediately raised his head and fell to the ground, but still didn't even say a word.
Immediately afterwards, the curtain of the sedan door was opened, and Mr. Huang Shiqian walked out of the sedan.
He walked forward with a dull look on his face and helped the old man who fell to the ground up.
The old man immediately knelt down on the ground in a hurry and kept kowtowing.
Mr. Huang Shiqian quickly continued to help him up. A smile suddenly appeared on his dull face, and then he said: "Old Wu, you have to be careful. You still owe me a lot of money and have not paid off. I have to take good care of you."
What a body!"
At this time, Old Wu seemed to have been activated by some kind of switch, with a frightened smile on his face. Not even a single complete tooth could be found in his mouth.
He quickly spoke: "Mr. Huang, don't worry, I, Old Wu, will pay back your money even if I risk my life!"
"That's right!" Lao Wu said suddenly, "Mr. Huang, why did you come out so early today?"
Mr. Huang laughed loudly: "Lao Yang from the west side of the town is a white-eyed wolf. He was very grateful when he borrowed the money, but now he wants to default on my debt.
How can I agree to this? He wrote in the IOU that if he doesn't pay the money, he will use his daughter to pay off the debt. Today, I will go over to warn him and make an exception to give him the last day of the deadline.
If the account is still not paid tomorrow, I will have no choice but to bring his daughter into the house and become a domestic slave.
Old Wu, you must never do such a thing!"
"I definitely won't!" Lao Wu immediately promised, and then said with a face full of indignation: "Mr. Huang, you are too righteous. This old Yang family is really nothing. Mr. Huang, I will go with you to collect the account!"
Mr. Huang patted his shoulder: "Old Wu, I'm very grateful to you, but you'd better hurry up, make money quickly, and pay off my debt as soon as possible."
"Yes, yes, what Mr. Huang said is that I will pay back the money as soon as possible, I will pay back the money as soon as possible!" Lao Wu immediately nodded and bowed, promising again and again.
The huge street was quiet, except for these two people talking loudly.
It seems extremely weird.
What's even weirder is that after finishing speaking, the two people returned to their sluggish appearance.
Just stood there, waiting quietly.
But the crowd behind them is still moving.
So it looks like these two people are having a conversation in a low-quality online game, but there are only subtitles and no movements or expressions, just like NPCs.
The whole town fell into silence again, not even the sound of footsteps falling on the ground.
But at this moment, Old Wu, who was carrying a pile of firewood, suddenly made an extremely subtle sound.
"Mr. Huang, no one has come in for many years since the officials stayed outside."
Mr. Huang remained calm, even the expression on his face did not move at all, but he still made a weak voice and said: "Don't be anxious, Old Wu, it will be done."
"It's a pity that we can't move those people who are guarding outside." Old Wu's voice said with a little helplessness, "Mr. Huang, if there is one more person, we can get out, right?"
Mr. Huang said: "Yes, just one more one."
Old Wu's tone became excited and he said anxiously: "If there is that person before next year, the debt I owe can be paid off, right?"
"Haha..." Mr. Huang chuckled, "Yes, Old Wu, if there is one more person before tomorrow, the debt you owe me can be paid off."
"I really hope someone can come before next year..." Old Wu muttered silently.
At this moment, the motionless Mr. Huang's eyes suddenly flashed with excitement.
Even his voice couldn't help but be mixed with a little excitement: "Old Wu, you have brought me good luck. Finally, someone is here, and there are more than one..."
When Old Wu heard this, the expression on his face did not change at all, but his voice couldn't help but become joyful: "Finally... I can finally pay it off... Finally..."
The next moment, all the people in the originally "busy" town stopped moving, and then they all turned their heads in unison and looked in the direction of the town gate.
Mr. Huang and the old man Lao Wu, who had been talking quietly and communicating, also mixed in with the crowd that looked like machines or puppets, and turned their heads together.
…
Lin Zheng took Li Changsheng, four people and Zhang Xirou into this place called "Huangshi Town".
They all wear modern clothes and hold various props.
Behind Cao Desheng, there was even a camera on his back.
It was out of place in this small town that was still in the Republic of China period.
When they stepped in, everything in the town had returned to its original state.
Everyone is doing their own thing, but they are just doing...doing...doing...it seems like they are never done.
Lin was looking at the town full of people...or to be more precise, it should be the town full of ghosts.
Continuously observing, thoughtfully.
Next to him, Li Changsheng was also watching all this. At the same time, he held a document in his hand and said: "All the people in this town are weird. According to the results we measured with instruments before, there is no particularly dangerous one."
.
Moreover, they have never actively killed anyone. As if under some kind of control, they enter a special reincarnation, repeating, repeating, repeating every two days.
It's very similar to the NPCs in the game. They may speak and may move, but they are all programmed and have not changed at all over the years."
He looked at the records on the document and once again explained some precautions to Lin Zheng based on the style of the town.
Of course, these precautions were all obtained by the former members of the Blade of Destruction with their own lives.
"Based on the experience we accumulated from the two previous explorations, basically nothing will happen during the two days of the first reincarnation.
On the first day, we will stay one night in a hotel room in the town, and it is the only place we can stay.
The other rooms all have owners, and at night, those owners...that is, the weird things in the town, tend to become a bit scary.
Only the guest room in that tavern is quieter, you can see it, the tavern is right there!"
Because the town was not big, they only walked a few steps before they saw their destination.
Li Changsheng stretched out his hand to point to Lin Zheng and the others.
Of course, he also compared the photos in the file and saw this tavern for the first time.
"We can also live in other places, but it should be no different. It's just that the visual effect is better if we live here." Li Changsheng added.
Lin Zheng and others all knew what Li Changsheng meant.
Every night, this seemingly prosperous town will reveal its original appearance.
The townspeople will become truly weird and return to their homes to rest.
Inside the town, there will also be a place that looks like a Shura field.
Although after inspection, it seems that there is no danger, but...it still looks a bit uncomfortable.
"right here!"
Li Changsheng walked to a spot in the middle of the road and continued to explain: "On the first day of the first reincarnation, almost nothing happened and there was no danger.
But during the day the next day, the mayor would use a sedan to pick up a girl from the west side of the town.
It was a girl who was robbed by the mayor because her father owed the mayor money and could not pay it back, so the girl was used to pay off the debt.
She was a very beautiful girl, so it was certain... that the mayor was probably not a good person.
At that time, a white devil will appear, covered with white hair. It will kill all the weirdos in the town, leaving only the girl brought by the mayor.
But it is worth mentioning that when this white devil appeared to kill people on the second day of its first reincarnation, it would not attack us, as if we did not exist."
"What happened to those people who died before?" Zhang Xirou, who was following Lin Zheng, suddenly asked.
Apparently he was corroded by this and aroused his interest.
Lin Zheng and the others had all seen these things before and knew about them. Now Li Changsheng just took this opportunity to introduce them in more detail.
Increase memory.
But Zhang Xirou has never seen it or heard of it.
Since this period of time, she has returned to her previous days of practicing cultivation all the time.
After all, Lin Zheng's Zhenyuan Dan is enough.
Therefore, her skills and strength are also improving rapidly.
Li Changsheng nodded, and the expression on his face became more serious: "This is what I want to say next.
Before, our team members who died suddenly disappeared on the first night of their second reincarnation, and then they didn’t know where they went. We searched all over the town but couldn’t find them!
Moreover, almost every time we explore this town, someone will disappear on the first night of the second reincarnation, and we can't find a way to solve it at all.
So after sacrificing nearly five Destroyers and conducting three explorations, I was forced to give up exploring this ghost town. In the end, I only got these things that seemed to be of some use.
But in fact, it seems that the information is of little use, and even the entire town cannot be restored."
Having said this, Li Changsheng shook his head with a sigh on his face.
Before Lin Zhengwei appeared, their entire department, and even the entire Daxia Kingdom, were groping forward in this way when facing strange things.
And the price of groping is dead people, a steady stream of dead people.
The "results" and "experience" currently available in the Blade of Destruction department are all filled in one life after another.
"As for where those dead team members went, who they were killed by, and how they were killed, we don't know yet. But the most questionable one is the white devil!"
Li Changsheng continued: "Based on the concentration of yin energy, all the weirdos in this town are in a state of resentment. They should not be able to cause any harm to our weird destroyers who have weird abilities!
But we know almost nothing about the white devil. Every time on the second day of reincarnation, it appears out of thin air. After killing people, it disappears out of thin air.
We couldn't communicate or track it. We tried various methods, but we didn't see how it appeared or how it disappeared. It disappeared into the air in an instant.
Only once, a senior tried to stop it from killing people, and then discovered that this white devil did not seem to be an ordinary weird thing, but... had a physical existence, but that was all. Based on our situation at the time,
There is no way we can bear more deaths."
Just when Li Changsheng and the others were communicating.
The weird people in this whole town are still doing their own thing as before.
They are all strange, with no shadows on the ground and no entities.
When encountering Li Changsheng and others, they would pass through directly.
But when he met Lin Zheng, he would be bounced away, but he would come over and be bounced away again.
After repeating the cycle several times, it will dissipate directly, but soon after, it will solidify again and continue to collide with Lin Zheng.
It really feels like an NPC, completely controlled by a non-existent "system".
Moreover, there is no desire to attack at all.
Therefore, even though this town is indeed full of weirdness, it is a veritable ghost town.
But in fact, it doesn't seem to be scary at all...
At least in those records, before the first night of the second reincarnation.
"Okay, then let's just find a guest room, take a rest first, and then... take a walk around this ghost town and get familiar with our set." Lin Zheng said.
Li Changsheng next to him frowned, still a little worried: "Director Lin, why don't we just... deal with these weird things directly?
Then we wait until the next day to deal with the White Devil. After all, this is a ghost town. We don’t do anything and have to sleep in it, even for more than ten days... Isn’t it too dangerous?”
Even though Lin was here, Li Changsheng still couldn't break free from his previous emphasis on weirdness.
Because at that time, if you don’t pay attention, you will die.
Lin Zheng smiled and patted his shoulder: "Don't worry, as long as I'm here, there won't be any problems.
As for these weird things, we can keep them for now until we find out the secrets of this town. Moreover, they are all rare extras!"
Zhou Xinyi, who was standing behind Lin Zheng, looked confused: "Extras? Aren't the cameras unable to capture the weirdness? Unless they are all in red and are willing to let us capture it."
The injuries on her body have long since healed. After all, last time, Lin Zheng also picked up a lot of good healing items from the treasure box.
Lin Zheng smiled and said: "If it were before, it would really be impossible to take pictures, but now, I have a way. Of course, everything needs the cooperation of the weird one who controls this town."
After reading the introduction of White Devil Town and the known information collected by the Blade of Destruction department.
Lin Zheng was almost certain that there was definitely a strange creature in red in this town, controlling everything and manipulating everything.
And... he is different from the director of the previous "Nitsuishi Psychiatric Hospital".
The director, more strictly speaking, should have used his strength and the fear of the patients' resentment to suppress it.
But the weird methods used in this town are even more advanced.
Even so advanced... it will definitely not be a weird thing that can be born to know and use it.
This is also the reason why Lin Zheng is unwilling to take action directly.
He needed an opportunity to communicate with the weird one who controlled the town to see if he could ask him about some of the secrets the other party held.
As for the so-called white devil, he also had some guesses, but... everything needs to be seen before he can make a conclusion!
"Then this time... I have to act opposite a real female weirdo?" Cao Desheng, who was standing next to him, looked confused and was about to cry. "Why is it that I am the one who gets hurt every time? Is it okay to replace this role with someone else?"
Lin Zheng turned to look at him: "Because you are handsome, 1.9 meters tall, muscular and handsome.
Only in this way is it normal for the female ghost to like you, and the audience will take it for granted. If someone else were to act, wouldn't the audience think our crew is unprofessional? Even the aesthetics are not up to par!"
Cao Desheng glanced at Li Changsheng, and then at Mei Jixing who was standing not far away, holding his cell phone in the air to look for a signal.
After a moment of silence, he nodded and said seriously: "That's true."
"..." Li Changsheng shook his head speechlessly, still looking at Lin Zheng with some worry: "Do you really want to do this? Is it too risky?"
"Don't worry!" Lin Zheng said calmly, "If my guess is correct, there may be some very interesting things in this town. For those things, it is completely enough for us to spend this time and energy.
Our purpose is not simply to solve the weirdness, but to explore the secret of the weirdness's recovery, isn't it? If we start killing people as soon as we come up, things will be a little difficult."
Having said this, Lin Zheng raised his hand, clenched his fist, and said with a calm smile: "Don't worry, I know what's going on. No matter what, this town is under my control.
You have to believe me, I am a newbie, I have not received professional training, and I am more afraid of death than you are. Therefore, I will never take risks without a certain degree of certainty."
