"Grandpa, please don't embarrass him. He doesn't know anything."
The woman whom the old man called Xiaoyue was holding the old man's arm and shaking her like a coquettish girl. From time to time, she would make a playful face at Wen Zhong, which made Wen Zhong feel puzzled.
"No, Xiaoyue, you know that grandpa's responsibility is to expel these outsiders and protect this Baiyang Village. Normally, you can make whatever trouble you want, but not this time."
The old man's tone was very tough and resolute. It could be seen that although he doted on his granddaughter, he was also very principled.
"Ah, grandpa, why are you like this?" Xiaoyue shouted.
"The rules left by our ancestors cannot be broken." The old man shook his head and said, "However, it is not impossible. As long as he is not an outsider, grandpa will not drive him away."
The woman was startled, then her face changed, and she said angrily: "Grandpa, what are you talking nonsense about? I didn't mean that."
"Huh? What do you mean, hahaha." The old man stroked his beard and said with a smile, "I haven't said anything yet. Why are you so anxious, Xiaoyue?"
"Oh, I hate it."
The surrounding villagers also laughed when they saw this, leaving Wen Zhong alone standing there, confused.
What kind of situation is this now? Should we fight?
Wen Zhong instinctively felt that something was not good. Now he wanted to leave here without the old man urging him. Unfortunately, the other party seemed to have changed his mind and did not want to let him go.
"Ghost boy, you can stay."
The old man's figure was like a ghost. Without noticing Wen Zhong saw that his left hand was tightly clamped in his hand, and immediately a feeling of powerlessness spread from his wrist to his whole body.
"you you……"
A trace of cold sweat broke out on Wen Zhong's forehead. The ghost hand was clamped by the other party and he had no ability to resist at all. The old man did not see any movement, so he was dragged back to the original place by the other party.
"It looks good, but it's just an embroidered pillow, huh."
After the old man finished speaking, he waved his hand and returned to the villa. Seeing this, the surrounding villagers dispersed and walked towards their own homes.
In an instant, only Wen Zhong, half of his body still in a paralyzed state, and Xiaoyue, who was looking at Wen Zhong with a wicked smile, were left at the scene.
After a while, he regained his ability to move. The old man was really frightened. If his initial target was not his wrist but his neck, then he would probably have his skin peeled off even if he didn't die.
However, this is not the time to think about this now, there is still a problem waiting for him to deal with.
"Thank you so much this time, otherwise I might have fallen into trouble here." Wen Zhong expressed his gratitude very frankly. It was a fact that he was helped by the woman, and he would not be stingy with his gratitude.
"You are also the first person who dares to call me grandpa, old man. This is quite new." The woman smiled and said: "I didn't expect you to be so brave on the 5th. Not bad. I'm optimistic about you."
Number five?
Wen Zhong was startled and took a step back unconsciously. He pointed at the woman and said, "Wait a minute, could it be that you are... No. 4?"
The fact that the other party knows her number means that she is also one of the seven people participating in the second stage of the ceremony.
Among the seven people participating in the second stage of the ceremony, only one was a woman. The identity of the woman in front of him was already revealed, and she was the number four who had provoked him before the ceremony began.
"You are really slow, otherwise why do you think I would come to save you?" No. 4 said with a bad smile: "Maybe you really thought I was attracted to you, but I didn't expect you to be quite narcissistic."
Wen Zhong's mouth twitched. The No. 4 in front of him was one of the types he was least good at dealing with. He was the type who would rather face a powerful ghost than stay with him.
Suddenly, he thought of another question, how did the other party know that he was No. 5? You must know that he always wore a mask in the Ping An Inn, so there was no reason for the other party to recognize him.
"Wait a minute, is it possible that she and I knew each other a long time ago, just like Hong Shuangquan?"
Seeing Wen Zhong's look of realization, No. 4 smiled and said, "I finally came to my senses. It looks like you can still be saved, unlike your two teammates who died without knowing how."
Hearing this, Wen Zhong's face darkened. After thinking for a while, he then said, "What do you mean by that? What happened to Wang Muyou and Dai Zhibin?"
"I'm dead, what else can I do?" No. 4 shrugged and said nonchalantly.
As soon as these words came out, Wen Zhong's expression became even more gloomy. Although he wanted to ask the other party what happened in detail, he had more important things to ask at the moment.
"Have you found the ticket?"
"not yet."
The smile on No. 4's face faded and was replaced by a solemn look: "This is not the place to talk. It will get dark soon. Come to the villa with me and let's talk slowly."
that's all.
Wen Zhong and No. 4 returned to the villa,
It wasn't that he trusted the other party very much, but the old man was actually a bit scary, and Wen Zhong was too lazy to focus on the intrigue anymore.
Returning to the villa, Wen Zhong asked first: "Why are you here? This is a supernatural place. Time goes back endlessly. The chance of the two of us being together is almost so small that we can ignore it."
"you."
"Guess."
Faced with Wen Zhong's inquiry, No. 4 obviously had no intention of answering him. Then she took out two walkie-talkies from her arms and threw them to Wen Zhong.
"This is."
"The walkie-talkies of your two teammates were entrusted to me before they died. You can relax now." Number 4 said.
Hearing No. 4's affirmative answer, Wen Zhong frowned and put the radio into the hiking bag he was carrying.
"How did the two of them die? If you killed them, wouldn't I be in a very dangerous situation now?" Wen Zhong said.
"You actually care about this? Isn't it the second stage of the ceremony that you should be more concerned about?"
No. 4 looked a little surprised, but still said: "No. 7 died when the ghost resurrected, and No. 6 was implicated by No. 7. Both of them died in the pool at the back of the village. These two walkie-talkies were also taken from the pool at the back of the village.
Found it there.”
"You just said clearly that the two of them gave it to you before they died." Wen Zhong said.
"Did I say that?" No. 4 smiled: "Maybe I remembered it wrong. There is no need for me to lie to you about such a trivial matter."
"Okay, let's just treat it like this." Wen Zhong said.
"Ahem——"
Suddenly, a cough suddenly sounded behind Wen Zhong. When he turned around, he saw that it was the old man who claimed to be Su Changguang just now. At this moment, he was looking at Wen Zhong warily, as if he was guarding against a thief.
