Metaphysics Live Room: The host is the contract husband

"Remember what I told you. Don't run around at night. It's not safe. And the village chief is a nice guy, but he's a little weird. He doesn't like people running around."

"Stay in your room at night and don't be too curious."

Sun Chengan nodded: "I see, we are very obedient, don't worry, Auntie Pang. Here, here is a hundred yuan, take it."

Aunt Pang pushed it a bit, but still accepted it.

He said cheerfully, "That's great. I won't be polite. Where are you going to play tomorrow? Just ask Auntie Pang. I'm very familiar with this area."

He twisted his waist to the door and knocked.

"Village chief, please open the door. I've brought someone to you."

Several people: “……???”

This sounds a bit strange.

With a creaking sound, the door was opened from the inside. A white-haired old man with a gloomy face glanced at the person outside the door, frowned and looked unhappy: "Didn't I say, don't bring anyone here."

Auntie Pang's eyes flickered, and she smiled meaningfully: "It's okay, they are just on a road trip. The village chief's house has many rooms, so let them stay for one night."

"...You go back first. The rest of you come in and I'll take you to your rooms. Stay still at night and don't wander around."

Sun Chengan said repeatedly: "Okay, thank you, Uncle Village Chief. Come, here are some cigarettes, have one."

The village chief waved his hand, somewhat helplessly: "No need, I've quit smoking. Come in, we'll have mushroom noodles tonight, you guys can make do with what you have."

"Okay, we're all fine. When we're away from home, having a hot meal to eat is a blessing."

In the room, several people exchanged glances.

One person walked around the yard, while the others lowered their voices and whispered something: "Do you think there's something strange about this village? Let's exchange information and see what's wrong."

"Well, Auntie Fatty is very welcoming. The other villagers are very strange, but looking at the eyes of the children, they are very loving. They shouldn't be bad people."

Sun Chengan said solemnly, "Many times, it's impossible to judge right or wrong, especially when it comes to the supernatural. There's still too little information to make any inferences."

Looking to the side, there was someone who was unusually quiet, even a little dull.

"Master Su, are you in a bad mood? I noticed that you didn't speak a word after entering the village, but something seems to be wrong."

Su Chen twitched his lips and said calmly, "No, I just think those kids... are so cute. They're playing shuttlecock all the time. Don't you think it's beautiful?"

"Ah, beautiful?"

"Yes, it's a pity that beautiful things are often as unreal as flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water. If you have any doubts, let's go out and take a look at it tonight."

"We need to find the person who reported it, too."

Sun Chengan nodded: "Yes, let's go out tonight."

In the dead of night

Su Chen and Sun Chengan slipped out, while the others stayed behind, so as not to arouse the suspicion of the village chief, which would make it difficult to deal with them. Following the master out, he felt extremely safe.

"Master Su, where do you think we should go?"

"Go to the locust tree where the children are playing. Do you have a shovel? We'll need to dig something later."

"Ah, what are you digging for?"

"You'll know when you get there. Just be gentle."

Sun Chengan was confused. What was there to dig in the place where the children played during the day? Could there be something there? But he didn't see anything. It was really strange.

Su Chen stepped on it and pointed at the ground: "Well, this is it. Let's dig. Dig half a meter down and you'll see something. It's not deep and easy to dig."

Half a meter? That's so shallow.

Half an hour later, Sun Chengan looked at the small corpses on the ground. He felt suffocated and couldn't breathe. He lowered his voice and said, "Master Su, what's going on?"

"The bones here are obviously those of children. Could they have been killed in the village? Why didn't they call the police?"

Su Chen squatted down and looked at the bones carefully.

"Team Leader Sun, take a good look. Is there anything wrong with this bone?"

Sun Chengan shone the light on it and took a closer look. He also noticed something was wrong and frowned. "The bones are black. This means that these children may have died of poisoning."

"Yes, they died of poisoning. There were six of them in total, and they corresponded one to one with the six children we saw during the day. What we saw, and what the villagers saw, were all just illusions."
