The night was silent, without even the sound of birds or wind, as if it was plunged into a dead silence.

Sui Yu’s home, first floor.

Xie Chi suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Chen Rui, who was sneaking around the bed and trying to get out in the dark.

"where are you going?"

The sudden sound scared Chen Rui so much that he accidentally knocked over the candlestick on the bedside table, which fell to the ground with a dull thud.

All the lights in the room suddenly lit up, clearly illuminating Chen Rui's sweaty face.

It also illuminated the grayish-white powder that was sprinkled in front of Xie Chi's eyes.

Xie Chi was sleeping on the floor, and he rolled backwards with great force, but still inhaled some powder without warning. He couldn't help coughing twice, and the Chen Rui in front of him began to turn into two.

"Fuck you..." Xie Chi supported himself on the ground with his hands, his head dizzy and he couldn't even stand up.

Chen Rui snorted and climbed out of the house through the window before Ji Yanli and the others noticed him.

Before leaving, he picked up the candlelight that he had knocked over. Although it looked like a burning flame, it was just a bug. He held it in his hand, and the harder he squeezed, the brighter the light became.

When the door was pushed open, Chen Rui had disappeared. Ji Yanli ran in, and only Xie Chi fainted on the ground.

Shao Tingchuan woke up almost at the same time the candlestick fell to the ground. Sui Yu held the doll and rubbed the tip of his ear.

"sleep."

There was an unmistakable light sound, and Shao Tingchuan felt tired almost instantly, and then fell into a deep sleep.

Sui Yu closed her eyes, her eyeballs moved twice under her thin eyelids, and then she fell asleep.

The thunder in the sky stopped, but lightning occasionally brightened the sky, as if intentionally illuminating the situation in the village.

Ji Yanli helped Xie Chi up, and after roughly determining that he was just asleep, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He emphasized to Yan Yan who followed him in, "You all should sleep in my room tonight."

It was too quiet, too quiet. Apart from the movements of the few of them, there was no sound at all.

Through the cracks in the open wooden window, you could see occasional flashes of lightning, but you couldn't even hear the sound of the wind among the trees.

Like... like in the game, in order to save energy, the power saving mode is specially turned on when the player is resting.

Just give a framework and build a structure to maintain the appearance, and those normal movements are no longer important.

This realization made even Ji Yanli feel some unreasonable panic.

The night seemed long, but soon spots of light began to appear through the gaps between the trees.

Its daybreak.

Ji Yanli almost didn't sleep all night, taking pictures with the camera he picked up yesterday.

The scene outside the window perfectly matches all the imaginations of the primitive jungle. All the elements are complete, and even the village itself seems to be a part of this land.

The birdsong, wind and leaves rustling that had disappeared at night have returned, and smoke from cooking fires is gradually rising in the village, which is nothing out of the ordinary.

"Hiss... I feel so dizzy!" Xie Chi shook his head to relieve the dizzying pain.

"Where's that bastard Chen Rui?"

Some strange stuff was sprinkled on him, which made him lose consciousness and ability to resist.

Yan Yan folded the quilt and shook his head, "He didn't come back all night, and we didn't know."

She was a little envious of Xie Chi last night, who slept soundly until dawn without having to wake up and feel scared.

As they were chatting, there was a knock on the door and Shao Tingchuan's voice came from outside.

"What the hell were you doing last night?"

When Ji Yanli opened the door and there were only three people left in the room, Shao Tingchuan could already think of what happened last night.

That person... must be in great danger.

Just the two snakes that didn't sleep and wandered around at night were enough to give him a hard time.

It seems that his purpose is to enter the Miao village, but I don’t know what his intention is.

If no one had led them in, the Gu Village would have seemed to be wrapped in something. Even if you approached it, the village would have gone around you on its own, making it impossible to get in.

This was discovered when I met these people that day. The non-white golden scales almost looked like a moving sun in the sunlight. Xie Chi and the others had never looked in this direction.

Definitely not found.

But they are not blind. The only explanation is that the strange things in Gu Village make them blind.

"I don't know where Chen Rui ran off to. We met him halfway and we are not accomplices."

Ji Yanli put the camera back into his bag and tried to explain.

"Okay, you guys should leave now."

Shao Tingchuan didn't want to say much. He didn't want them to stay here any longer and be in danger, nor did he want them to find out that Chen Rui, who was already dead, would put the Gu Village in danger.

The best thing to do is for them to leave quickly.

Xie Chi had no objection. He came here to explore, not to die. After realizing that something was wrong with this place and the people there, it would be better for him to leave quickly.

But before you go...

"You're not leaving?" Xie Chi suddenly asked Shao Tingchuan.

He came in with them last night and was obviously not familiar with the village. He relied entirely on the girl's instructions, which meant that it was also his first time in this village.

If Xie Chi guessed correctly, the clothes he was wearing should be special combat uniforms. This person was definitely not a resident of Gu Village.

Just like them, he probably came to Gu Village by chance, but just arrived earlier than them.

Shao Tingchuan was not surprised by Xie Chi's question. From the first moment he looked at him, Shao Tingchuan knew that he must have some doubts in his heart.

After all, the clothes and shoes he was wearing had nothing to do with the style of Gu Village.

"You don't need to meddle in my affairs. Get yourself ready and leave as soon as you finish eating."

After giving Xie Chi a cold look, Shao Tingchuan walked to the living room near the stairs and picked up the exquisitely presented food plate.

In addition to this, there were some fruits and grilled meats scattered randomly on the table, most of which were burnt and looked particularly bad.

It is very different from the plate of food in my hand, which is complete even with the petals garnishing it.

Shao Tingchuan took some fruit and went upstairs.

As soon as he reached the second floor, the fruit in his hand was taken away by Fei Mo and stuffed into Bu Bai's mouth. When he noticed Shao Tingchuan looking over, two long strips, one black and one red, slipped downstairs.

After stuffing the two remaining fruits into his mouth, Shao Tingchuan took two steps with his long legs, put down the plate and picked up Sui Yu, who was still sleeping soundly. "Wake up."

Sui Yu was picked up by the man in a daze. She leaned on his shoulder, took a deep breath of his fragrance, and felt refreshed.

"The man who ran out in the middle of the night is still alive."

Shao Tingchuan paused, then continued squeezing the toothpaste out for Sui Yu, "I don't care about him."

The thin thread wrapped around her tender white fingertips danced, and Sui Yu pulled it, causing the man's head to tilt towards her.

"Liar."

Shao Tingchuan pulled his head back, feeling that he had a greater control over the thin thread wrapped around Sui Yu. He moved his neck and said, "It's true. I don't care about him."

"He dragged the people who came back to save him to death while he was escaping. He is selfish by nature. He looked around when he followed us into the village, thinking that we didn't notice him. He must have had a purpose."

As he slowly retracted the loose threads, Shao Tingchuan's voice was deep and firm. "I'm not a pushover, and he's far less important than you. I really don't care about the life or death of someone who threatens the village."

Before coming in, Chen Rui should have realized where he was coming from and should be responsible for all the choices he made.

Shao Tingchuan would not easily sympathize with someone who brought it upon himself.
