Chapter 117
The store owner seemed to be talking about excitement, and shook his head slightly. In this short moment, Zhou Rong saw the person standing in front of the store owner.

He froze for a moment, then seemed to be greatly frightened, and shrank back suddenly.

The arm was not controlled well, and it knocked down the candle on the candlestick.

Just as the candle was about to hit the ground, a hand quickly caught it, and then put the candle back on the candlestick extremely quickly.

Jiang Cheng grabbed Zhou Rong, and motioned with his eyes, the two backed away quietly, pushed open the door, and got into a room.

Almost at the moment when the door closed, there was a slight "creak—" sound.

It was as if a very heavy door had been pushed open.

After a while, there was a rush of strong footsteps outside the door. The man seemed to think for a while, and then went straight to the door of the room where the two were hiding.

There was a crisp sound of keys colliding, and Zhou Rong was shocked. He didn't expect that the shop owner actually had a spare key in his hand.

The door was pushed open with the sound of the lock cylinder popping open.

The sound of footsteps broke in, followed by the sound of rummaging, but he was doomed to fail, and the two of Jiang Cheng hid in room 307, opposite to room 308.

The shop owner rummaged for a while, but he didn't seem to find any trace of anyone, and then he left. He returned to the wall in front of the dark room, and with a sound of friction, the door became completely quiet.

However, both Jiang Cheng and Zhou Rong did not move in tacit understanding, and the sound of breathing was kept to a minimum.

1 minute, 2 minutes until the end of the 3rd minute, there was a sudden clear sound of footsteps outside the door, very close to the two of them, and then there was the sound of rubbing, and the outside of the door returned to silence.

Jiang Cheng and Zhou Rong still did not move.

It was not until 5 minutes later that the process was repeated again, and the two quietly left the room.

But instead of going downstairs to join his teammates, he came to the corner of the second floor.

"Mr. Zhou," Jiang Cheng pretended to be terrified, and asked in a low voice, "What did you see just now?"

Zhou Rong's expression was more terrified than Jiang Cheng's, but he wasn't pretending, his breathing hadn't adjusted yet.

Just now, he hid behind the door of room 308, and saw through the crack of the door that the store owner had changed from the good old man yesterday, with a hideous and distorted expression.

What was even more frightening was that there was a sharp knife gleaming coldly in his hand.

If it is discovered, the fate is self-evident.

"Darkroom. Besides the store owner, there is another woman in the darkroom." As if recalling the scene at that time, Zhou Rong's face became more and more ugly. "It's not his wife, but an old woman. She...she is sitting on a wooden On the chair, half of the face seemed to be melted, leaving only one eye, nose, lips... all gone!"

Jiang Cheng's pupils slowly tightened.

"Mr. Yin," Zhou Rong suddenly grabbed Jiang Cheng's wrist, and said, "I know you are not an ordinary person, and you should be able to see that the difficulty of this mission is different from those we have experienced in the past. Matched to newcomers."

Jiang Cheng didn't speak, but gave him a look that although I was very scared, I could still insist on listening to you.

Zhou Rong didn't care about this, and quickly said: "I want to join forces with you, Mr. Yin," he swallowed, "I have successfully passed 5 missions, and this is the 6th."

He glanced at the stairs going up, and said with lingering fear: "But this mission is probably more difficult than my previous 5 missions combined. Before entering the domain, such a thing has already happened. I feel very bad." premonition."

Ignoring Zhou Rong's nonsense about how terrifying the mission is and how good he is, he raised his head and asked straightforwardly, "What do you mean by domain?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Rong couldn't help being stunned. His eyes towards Jiang Cheng gradually changed from doubt to suspicion, but only in an instant, he returned to his previous appearance.

"It's the area where ghosts can move, or interfere with," he explained.

"Then you mean that Anping Town is not within the reach of ghosts, or within the range of interference?" Jiang Cheng asked.

Zhou Rong nodded, "According to my judgment, it should be like this."

Jiang Cheng didn't delve into his judgment method or anything else. Firstly, time was running out. If there was a delay, the people downstairs should have noticed the abnormality.

The second is that it is not necessary, because these are my cognitive blind spots, so no matter how Zhou Rong explains it, I have no way to confirm whether it is true or not.

It is better not to ask, but it still seems to be unpredictable.

He gave Zhou Rong a strange look that I don't say anything, but you better think about it, and then neither agreed to Zhou Rong's cooperation proposal, nor refused.

"Go downstairs," he said quite naturally.

When they came downstairs, the two didn't say a word about what happened just now, they just said that they couldn't find the shop owner.

"Then what are you two doing upstairs for so long?" It was Chen Xiaomeng who spoke, and she stared at Jiang Cheng viciously, wishing she could rush up and bite him to death.

"Could it be you two?"

Chen Xiaomeng's face became weird. In order to splash dirty water on Jiang Cheng, she did everything she could, even at the expense of the innocent Zhou Rong.

When Ben Fu heard this, he looked at Jiang Cheng with more fiery eyes.

"Longer," Jiang Cheng looked at Chen Xiaomeng affectionately, and said coyly, "What are you talking about? How reluctant I was last night. You, you don't know."

Hearing this, Chen Xiaomeng's eyes darkened, and she almost vomited a mouthful of blood in her throat.

"Everyone tall!"

The village head stood outside the hotel door, staring at these saviors eagerly, and managed to get those two down, only to find that they were flirting together and had no intention of following them to the village. over him.

When everyone looked at him, he smiled as kindly as possible with the few remaining front teeth: "It's getting late, and the mountain road is rough and difficult to walk, why don't we go."

"Okay," Jiang Cheng nodded, "Let's go now."

Hearing this, the village head and the villagers were all beaming with joy.

Following them on the road, Pei Qian walked side by side with the village head, and the two exchanged views on the local customs from time to time, while Jiang Cheng listened with squinted eyes beside them.

Chen Xiaomeng began to plan to find an opportunity to be alone and strangle Jiang Cheng to death, but Jiang Cheng seemed to have read her mind, and occasionally went to the toilet to drag someone along.

However, he doesn't seem to be picky about who goes with him, and he actually dragged Yu Man last time.

It took about a quarter of an hour for the two of them to come back.

"In other words, the village is in the gap between two mountains," Pei Gan seemed to think of something, and looked at the village chief as if confirming.

"That's right, master, it's like this," the village head respected Pei Gan, shouting one after another, and asked someone to use a paper umbrella to shade Pei Gan from the sun.

Jiang Cheng gave him a sideways look, and suddenly shouted: "I'm hot too, and I want a strong man to hold an umbrella for me!"

The village chief was stunned for a moment, then looked at Jiang Cheng and explained, "This little brother"

What I didn't expect was-

"Who are you with?!" Jiang Cheng pinched his waist, rolled his eyelids, and said in a long voice, "Who is your brother? I am an expert!"
