I became a big shot in the quick transmigration world.

Chapter 788 Assessment Mission: Encountering an Old Acquaintance (19)
Luo Ji looked at Yu Muhuai with a strange expression and said, "Have you ever considered that those creatures might actually be villagers from Zhukun Village?"

Yu Muhuai's eyelashes fluttered.

After Luo Ji's reminder, Yu Muhuai understood some key points.

She frowned and analyzed, "As I walked here, I noticed that the colors of the cloth strips hanging at the entrances of the villagers' houses were different."

Apart from the village chief's unique courtyard, the other houses were divided into two categories: one with black cloth strips hanging at the entrance, and the other with red cloth strips.

Black cloth strips were hung at the entrances of all the buildings housing students.

Loki nodded and said, "Yes, I noticed that too. The houses with red ribbons hanging inside were completely silent, as if no one lived there. I didn't notice any movement."

Admittedly, the overall atmosphere of Zhukun Village is excessively quiet, lacking the liveliness that a typical village should have. However, there are still villagers walking on the roads, and some houses are still being visited by villagers.

However, those houses with red ribbons hanging on them were not only locked, but there was no sign of any living people at all.

Yu Muhuai remembered the information he had obtained from A Long through his identity, and now he shared it directly.

"Before dinner, I asked Ah Long, and the information I received was that the villagers are currently neither human nor ghost. If they go out at night, they will bring trouble to their families."

Now it seems very likely that after going outside, they will turn into the same kind of creature as before, and the whole family will mutate together.

After the change, such families would hang red ribbons.

It seems we can check the condition of those houses first thing tomorrow morning to see if anyone is living there.

Chengguang mentioned the village's secret this afternoon, and believes that the situation with those unidentified creatures is definitely related to the village's secret.

Hearing this, Luo Ji narrowed his eyes.

His focus was elsewhere.

"Speaking of which, what is your role this time? Are you also an assessment member? Why aren't you among the students, but instead appearing as a village girl?"

Yu Muhuai's eye twitched.

Because Yu Muhuai chose the more difficult mode, no warnings that couldn't be mentioned appeared in her mind for the time being.

Based on Da Bai's instructions to her before departure, Yu Muhuai was not allowed to reveal her identity.

Although the two are now completely in the same boat, like grasshoppers tied together, there are still some things that cannot be said openly for the time being.

Strictly speaking, Rodri's direct and open questioning of him could already be considered a foul.

However, given her relationship with Luo Ji, she certainly wouldn't let Luo Ji be eliminated.

She's so kind!
Thinking of this, Yu Muhuai glanced at Luo Ji sideways and snorted twice.

"I'll tell you my specific identity when we get back to the agency; I can't reveal it for now. Just know that you should definitely thank me properly."

Luo Ji gave Yu Muhuai a deep look, knowing that she wasn't lying, so she stopped dwelling on the matter.

Then, as if he had thought of something, he chuckled softly.

Yu Muhuai asked in confusion, "What are you laughing at?"

Luo Ji lowered his eyes and smiled, then said, "I think I should thank you for allowing me to live in a different way."

I haven't lost my memories, nor have I had to erase everything and start over; I've retained my original consciousness. Although I've wandered through so many worlds, at least you're still here.

Yes, I really need to thank you.

Yu Muhuai smiled, patted Luo Ji on the shoulder, and said with a grin, "Well, it's good that you know. We've been through thick and thin together. I wouldn't trust anyone else like that." After saying that, Yu Muhuai brought up other information and shared his own insights.

The pale moonlight shone through the frosted glass, bringing a sliver of light into the dim room.

Luo Ji turned his head to look at Yu Muhuai's fair face, and was inexplicably pleased by her last words, and couldn't help but show a smile that he himself did not realize.

Like a warm spring breeze brushing across an ice surface, melting away the chill in one's heart.

After the creature outside left, the noise inside the bedroom gradually subsided, but he was clearly still trapped in a nightmare.

In the latter half of the night, the people in both bedrooms finally stopped struggling and talking in their sleep, and it seemed that the nightmares had eased somewhat.

Luo Ji raised his hand to check the time and said, "It's almost four o'clock. Go to bed and rest. You'll probably be busy tomorrow, so get some sleep."

Yu Muhuai nodded, said goodbye to Luo Ji, and turned to walk into the small bedroom.

Luo Ji stood in the hall until he heard Yu Muhuai close the door before entering the master bedroom.

At this moment, Ah Long was fast asleep in the corner of the bedroom, occasionally snoring.

There was no more babbling or talking in his sleep, no more struggling or trembling; Ah Long looked as if he had simply fallen off the bed while asleep.

Luo Ji didn't even glance at him, coldly walked to the bedside, took off his shoes, got into bed, and ignored Ah Long completely.

It seemed that the other party was just an object that was snoring.

Three hours later, at seven o'clock in the morning.

As the sun rises in the east, we begin our work.

In people's minds, the mornings in the countryside are fresh and clean, the start of a hard day's work, the smoke rising from farmhouses in the mountains, and the sweat that is diligently poured into rice paddies and vegetable gardens.

However, the mornings in Zhukun Village are somewhat different from what people imagine.

Cheng Guang frowned, muttered something, and slowly opened his eyes.

The first thing you see is Xu Qizhi's big face with drool dripping down his face.

Cheng Guang blinked, and it took him a while to realize that he was doing an assessment task in a mountain village.

He cursed under his breath and sat up abruptly.

I don’t know if it was because I got up too fast, but Cheng Guang felt a little dizzy and saw double.

He sat on the bed with his knees bent, his hands behind his head, his eyes tightly closed, feeling nauseous. It took him a while to recover.

Cheng Guang felt strange; why did he feel so unwell?
He propped his head up, feeling as if he had had many bizarre dreams, but the moment he opened his eyes, the memories related to those dreams slipped away like sand through his fingers.

It seemed like a nightmare, but Chengguang's mind was a complete blank, and he couldn't remember anything related to the dream.

After thinking for a long time without coming up with a solution, Chengguang simply got out of bed.

At this moment, only Xu Qizhi was still sleeping in bed; A Long and Luo Ji were no longer there.

After thinking for a moment, Cheng Guang leaned forward and patted Xu Qizhi a few times, trying to wake him up.

But even after patting him several times, Xu Qizhi remained fast asleep.
