On that night, no one slept; everyone was preparing for this task.
But sothing eerie happened.
"Did you find information about those three villages?"
Lu Guo was the first to ask.
"No. Logically, Ping City is just a small city in the far south, not even half the size of Ye City. If Shangyuan Village, Zhongyuan Village, and Lower Yuan Village truly exist, they should have been found easily..." Du Shangjing replied.
"That will be troubleso... If we can’t even find the place, we’ll directly violate the rules of Fog Gathering if we’re not there on ti..."
"What about Li Mu? Isn’t he a policeman? Can he check the police system to find those three villages?"
"No."
Li Mu typed out two words.
No one else in the chatroom spoke.
Is this the first hurdle?
If they can’t even find the locations of those three villages, everyone is in real trouble.
"Let’s leave overnight and gather in Ping City, spare more ti to find those three villages."
"Okay."
"Alright..."
Lu Guo’s suggestion received everyone’s agreent.
Bai Yanliang turned off his phone; he had just charged it fully.
"Knock, knock, knock—"
Bai Yanliang knocked on Xun Weimo’s door.
"What’s up, Mr. Bai?"
"I’ll be away for a few days; can you help take care of it?"
As he spoke, Bai Yanliang picked up a small black cat.
"ow—"
The small black cat looked at Xun Weimo, owing softly.
Xun Weimo took it with a hesitant expression, saying, "Alright then..."
"Thank you."
Bai Yanliang turned and left.
"Hey..." It seed Xun Weimo had more to say.
Bai Yanliang turned back to look at him, showing so confusion.
Xun Weimo gave him a aningful glance and said, "Mr. Bai, be careful this ti."
"I will."
Bai Yanliang gave him a look and left rcury Night in the darkness.
Xun Weimo stood by the window, pulled the curtains after watching Bai Yanliang’s silhouette.
...
"Mr. Bai!"
Standing by the roadside, just about to hail a cab to the airport, Bai Yanliang suddenly heard soone calling his na.
He turned towards the voice and saw a red car roll down its window, revealing a face that surprised him.
Yu Wenxuan.
"Mr. Yu, are you specifically here to pick up?"
Bai Yanliang approached his car.
Yu Wenxuan shook his head and said, "I just live nearby. We ended up assigned together in this task, so I hope Mr. Bai can look out for ."
Bai Yanliang smiled and said nothing but got into Yu Wenxuan’s car.
Bai Yanliang didn’t ask how Yu Wenxuan knew he lived here, nor did Yu Wenxuan explain.
But Bai Yanliang knew... he had told no one about moving here.
Which ans, if Yu Wenxuan didn’t hear it from Xun Weimo, his identity is worth pondering.
Quickly, Yu Wenxuan drove towards the airport.
"Mr. Bai, can you clear up so of my doubts?" Yu Wenxuan suddenly asked.
"What?" Bai Yanliang looked at Yu Wenxuan’s eyes in the rearview mirror.
"Do you think...what exactly is the relationship between Fog Gathering and ghosts? For example, even if we don’t go, would there still be ghosts in those villages? Is Fog Gathering the dominator, the controller of fierce ghosts, or is it rely informing us of places where ghosts exist?"
This question...
Bai Yanliang had to admit he had thought about it too.
Moreover, he couldn’t co up with an answer.
"I can’t determine that for now," Bai Yanliang didn’t hide.
"Hmm, that was presumptuous of ..." Yu Wenxuan smiled and stopped talking.
When the two arrived at the airport, several people were already at the waiting area.
Tonight, there’s only one flight to Ping City, and there are quite a few people currently in Ye City.
Feng Xiuxue, Li Mu, Ren Wudao, Bai Yanliang, Xu Zhifei, Lu Guo, Yu Wenxuan, the seven of them were all in Ye City.
So tonight wasn’t prearranged, yet it happened.
After eting, everyone exchanged greetings but didn’t chat much beyond that.
This ti, each person’s heart was heavy.
After all, it was the kind of fierce ghost that wiped out the last entire team; even a tiny slip-up could leave them no burial place.
On another side, Bai Yanliang, Yu Wenxuan, Xu Zhifei, and Lu Guo t up. Including Jiang Li, who wasn’t in Ye City, the five of them were assigned to execute tasks at Zhongyuan Village.
"Let’s hope we find those three villages tomorrow..."
Lu Guo was sowhat worried.
Xu Zhifei, still dressed in a black dress, with a pale face and gloomy aura, appeared unnerving.
After hearing Lu Guo’s concern, Xu Zhifei quickly glanced at him, her gaze settling on the spot where Lu Guo’s pocket was.
She seed to be looking at sothing.
At this mont, the boarding announcent sounded.
...
After getting off the plane.
The group t up in Ping City at six in the morning on the 27th.
"We must find the village before midnight today..." Lu Guo muttered again.
Li Mu gathered everyone and said, "We should split up as per Fog Gathering’s grouping to search separately, since those three villages might not be in the sa place."
"Yes, if you hear of any news about the other villages, call each other," Du Shangjing said as well.
"Alright."
"Okay..."
The fifteen of them quickly split up according to the task execution location.
Initially, everyone thought those villages, not found online or in the police system, would be difficult to locate.
But when they began to ask Ping City locals, they imdiately got an answer.
"Zhongyuan Village?"
The middle-aged woman gave Lu Guo an uncertain and wary look. If he didn’t look honest and quite normal, she might have thought he was a madman.
"No, no, there isn’t a Zhongyuan Village in Ping City."
"Wait a mont." Yu Wenxuan called out, stopping the middle-aged woman about to leave, "How about a guiding fee if you take us there? A thousand yuan?"
Unexpectedly, the middle-aged woman completely ignored Yu Wenxuan’s words, turned away, and looked at him with an expression as if seeing a dead person, quickly leaving.
"This doesn’t seem like there’s no Zhongyuan Village..." Yu Wenxuan said.
"Let’s go, try asking others," Lu Guo said helplessly.
"You...want to go to Zhongyuan Village?"
At this mont, a hoarse voice sounded not far from the five of them.
The five turned around and saw an old man, about sixty years old.
His hair was mostly white, but he seed to be in good spirits.
"Yes, sir, do you know how to get there?"
Jiang Li stepped forward with a smile, fully showing her female charm, even though she wasn’t particularly feminine.
"Oh, you can’t go there... The village is plagued, no living person can go there!"
Here it cos...
The old man’s words imdiately alerted everyone.
Plagued, is it an epidemic?
Yu Wenxuan also approached the old man, but instead of using charm, he directly pulled out a wad of cash.
"Sir, can you show us the way?"
