The Era of the National Constellation: I Awaken the Aries Healing Technique

Chapter 363 The Village Appeared

"Where did you run to?"

"The cherry demon got into the white mist, why did it suddenly disappear?"

Lin Fan followed all the way, looking at the thick fog in his vision, he couldn't help cursing.

The siege mission issued by Qingyun Star, the goal is to hunt down 30 cherry demons, and take back their fangs and hand them over to the school. This is the mission completed.

Up to now, with the cooperation of him and Xiaotianhu, 29 cherry demons have been hunted down, and only this one can collect 30 fangs, but after chasing after them, the prey in front of them is Disappeared in his field of vision.

There is something wrong with this fog...

Lin Fan slowly flew in mid-air, and walked forward cautiously.

All the surrounding scenery is shrouded in mist, shadowy, looks like a gloomy ghost land, silent and no sound can be heard, which makes people's hearts full of uneasy emotions.

Ten minutes later...

When Lin Fan walked out of the rugged path in the mountains, the fog in front of him gradually dissipated, and his vision suddenly widened.

When he stood on the hill and looked ahead, he suddenly saw a huge lake. In the open area beside the lake, there was a rough concrete road, surrounded by low and dilapidated buildings. There are houses, and several small western-style buildings with two or three floors can be seen among them.

It seems that no one has lived in it for a long time, and the village is deserted, a scene of death and depression.

"Could it be... this is Xiaoxi Village?"

"That cherry demon just ran into the village?"

I have to say that if Xiaoxi Village has not disappeared, it should be a peaceful and quiet village, a good place to live and work in peace and contentment.

"Why did this dilapidated village attract the attention of the Tower of Apocalypse?"

Lin Fan recalled what he had talked with the middle-aged uncle on the road, walking on the concrete road covered with cracks and weeds, and walked towards the village.

However, as the distance gets closer, Aries' sixth sense faintly conveys a strange feeling.

At the same time, Lin Fan suddenly noticed that when he stepped out of the mist, the originally clear sky became cloudy for some reason, and the bright light dimmed.

In a trance, it was like walking into another strange world.

No... there is something weird here...

[Heavenly Mandate: White. 】

Task level: F level.

Mission location: Daxia Dynasty, Yunling City, Xiaoxi Village.

Mission description: Apocalypse Knight Lin Fan has arrived at the target location, please investigate the situation in Xiaoxi Village as soon as possible.

Task time limit: ten days.

Immediately afterwards, the vision of the Tower of Apocalypse appeared in front of Lin Fan's eyes, and the mission description above also changed when he stepped here.

"Sure enough, the Tower of Apocalypse is above the vast star realm, secretly monitoring and guiding the Apocalypse Knights..."

The guess in Lin Fan's heart was finally confirmed. Although he didn't know the real purpose of the Tower of Apocalypse, he continued to walk forward according to the mission of the apocalypse.

When he came to the entrance of the village, his footsteps suddenly stopped in place, motionless.

What the fuck?

There are still people here?
Lin Fan looked ahead in astonishment, and saw a stone platform about two meters high standing at the entrance of the village, which looked like a shrine.

At this moment, in front of the stone platform, there is a little girl of twelve or thirteen years old, wearing a white dress, standing there quietly, standing on tiptoe, holding a feather duster in her hand, cleaning the dirt on it. dust.

Eh?
What the hell is going on with me...

Highlights... barren mountains, dilapidated villages, little girls in white clothes...

Good guy, the elements of a horror movie are complete.

Lin Fan felt his scalp go numb, and stood there silently looking at the little girl in the distance. After thinking about his mission from the Heavenly Mandate, he finally bit the bullet and walked up.

Bless Aries, all evils will be dispersed!
"Cough...that...little sister, what are you doing?" Lin Fan asked aloud after approaching.

Hearing the voice behind her, the little girl turned around slowly, revealing a lovely and beautiful face, looking at Lin Fan with a pair of bright eyes, muttering softly: "Why is someone here again..."

Hearing her tone, she didn't seem very happy, but she still responded politely: "Big brother, I'm sweeping the grave of my uncle."

Hearing this, Lin Fan turned his head to look at Shitai, his pupils couldn't help shrinking slightly.

At the entrance of the village, on the shrine-like stone platform, there is a wooden photo frame with a black and white photo pasted on it.

That photo was of a young man, and his voice and smile were vividly imprinted on the photo.

Lin Fan had seen this face before, especially the black imprint on the photo, blooming like a lotus flower, and staring at the world like eyes in the abyss.

Zhang Xu!

One of the founders of the Round Table Council, Senior Zhang Xu, why did his posthumous photo appear here?

Although the photo in front of me is not the one in the round table council club, the person in the photo is indeed senior Zhang Xu. Could it be that the mysteriously missing senior has some kind of connection with this village.Just now the little girl called him uncle. It seems that this is Zhang Xu's hometown.

Lin Fan suppressed the doubt in his heart, looked away calmly, and asked, "Is he really your uncle? Why is your uncle so young?"

The little girl frowned and said, "Of course it is. My uncle is actually more than 100 years old. The village head grandpa said that he left us when he was young. This is the photo he left at that time... um... ...my great-uncle was a knight..."

Lin Fan secretly remembered that what the little girl said was true to the information he had. It seemed that his family moved here after Zhang Xu disappeared, and the little girl should be a descendant of his relatives.

But the question is, why did Xiaoxi Village move out of here ten years ago...

After thinking for a while, Lin Fan asked, "Where's your family? Why did they move away from the village?"

The little girl grabbed the feather duster in her hand, looked at the mysterious big brother in surprise, and said crisply: "Move away? What are you talking about, my grandpa, uncles and aunts have always lived in the village. "

Lin Fan:? ? !
The little girl suddenly looked at him vigilantly, and said, "Why did you come to our village?"

This place is a bit weird, Lin Fan decided to hide his identity as a knight first, and said, "Little sister, I'm actually a donkey friend, you know the donkey friend... I got separated from my teammate when I was traveling, and I just walked away. I ran here, can you take me to the village? My mobile phone is out of battery and I want to find a place to charge it."

"Well, I'll take you to find Grandpa." Zhang Nannan nodded and said happily, "Grandpa will be very happy to know that another outsider is here."

The little girl led the way bouncing up and down.

Lin Fan followed silently.

This little girl's behavior and emotions are indescribably weird, and, why did she say...Could it be that other than herself, someone else broke into Xiaoxi Village...

Not long after, under the leadership of the little girl, Lin Fan stepped into Xiaoxi Village.

What's even more weird is that the whole village looks lifeless from the outside, but inside, as the little girl said, there are many villagers living here. It seems that they have never moved out of the village. It's just a lie.

Xiaoxi Village is extremely lively.

Lin Fan followed the little girl, and he saw that the road in the village was decorated with lights, and there were cherry trees growing one after another, full of pink flowers.

The surrounding villagers didn't seem to notice the arrival of Lin Fan, an outsider, but looked at him, as if they didn't see Lin Fan, they were busy coming and going, hanging lanterns one after another on the gorgeous cherry blossom trees .

There are happy and happy smiles on people's faces...

This scene is like a festival.

"Tonight is the sacred tree festival, and those uncles and aunts are preparing for the festival."

The little girl seemed to have sensed Lin Fan's doubts, and said in a crisp voice.

"What is the Divine Tree Festival? It looks very lively."

Lin Fan said with a smile, quietly took out his mobile phone and took a look, there was no signal on the screen.

"The Divine Tree Festival is an annual festival in our village. We will go to worship the sacred tree in the village on this day." The little girl said with her hands behind her back and narrowed her eyes.

"God tree?"

"Well, grandpa said that the tree was planted by my uncle and grandpa. The sacred tree has been protecting everyone in the village for so many years." The little girl continued, "Grandpa said that there are many beasts and monsters outside, thanks to God With the blessing of the tree, everyone can live in peace and security in the village."

"Then you didn't go out and have a look?"

"Go out? Why do you want to go out? Shouldn't people in the village stay in the village for the rest of their lives?"

Lin Fan: "..."

Ha ha.

It turned out to be a salted fish without dreams.

But having said that, this place is really evil...

At first, Lin Fan thought that he had entered an illusion, and everything in front of him was just an illusion, but he quickly denied this conjecture.

In this village, including the little girl, everyone is a living person. They have breath and temperature, but the weird thing is... everyone's behavior logic is very weird, and they don't feel the human should have at all. Under normal circumstances, under the lively festive atmosphere, people will always feel a little bit of incongruity.

Nonsense, among other things, it is impossible for a normal person to see a stranger from outside and not even look at him...

Auntie, the lanterns you hung are all on fire, why don't you react at all, and still laugh?
Uncle, you fell from the tree, why did you crawl home like this, stop laughing?

Gee...

This folk style is really simple.

Perhaps, this is the so-called one side's water and soil supporting one's people...

Led by the little girl, the two climbed up a step and soon came to the door of a small courtyard.

In the yard, there was an old man in his 70s standing at the door kindly and kindly, and said with a smile on his face, "Daughter, have you brought outsiders to the village again?"

The little girl: "Well, my daughter has taken another person, should grandpa give her a reward?"

Afterwards, the little girl told the old man everything about how she met Lin Fan.

The old man smiled and said, "Okay, I will reward you with an extra piece of meat tonight."

While speaking, the old man turned his head to look at Lin Fan, and said, "Young man from outside, I am very glad to see you."

Facing the old man, as a junior, Lin Fan respectfully responded politely: "How happy?"

elder:"……"

The old man was obviously stunned for a moment, and then continued: "Dear stranger, tonight is the annual sacred tree festival in our village, please be sure to stay overnight in the village, the sacred tree will bless you."

"Ninny, this little brother looks very tired, you go and take him to the next yard to rest."

bless...

Ha ha, guess I believe it or not.

In this village, there was a strange atmosphere everywhere, Lin Fan didn't dare to act rashly for the time being, he was going to observe first before taking action, so he obediently followed the little girl and left the courtyard where the old man lived.

While walking on the road, Lin Fan was observing the situation around him, while inquiring about information about Zhang Xu and the village.

However, to Lin Fan's dismay, this little girl really didn't seem to understand anything.

Not far away, Lin Fan suddenly saw a young man in front of him, walking towards him.

The man looked less than 30 years old, wearing a casual T-shirt, and carrying a big black hiking bag on his back. It was obvious that he came from a big city, and he was out of tune with the villagers of Xiaoxi Village.

The young man walked on the road without saying a word. When he saw the little girl, his body trembled suddenly, and there was an indescribable fear in his eyes.

Immediately afterwards, he saw Lin Fan's figure again.

The expression of the young man was slightly startled, and a look of incomparable joy and brightness appeared in his eyes, as if seeing the light of hope, he stared blankly at Lin Fan, and opened his mouth to say something.

However, at this moment, the villagers who were busy around seemed to notice something, they stopped their work at the same time, and turned around stiffly to stare at the young man.

There are still gentle smiles on the faces of those villagers...

The words on the lips of the young man could not be uttered in the end.

However, Lin Fan understood two words from his mouth-

help me!

Run!
