The people from the Astronomical Bureau had read the relevant information about the five people from the Night Three Shocks team, three men and two women, who went to Fengmen Village for exploration many times. In order to confirm their identities, they even remembered clearly what clothes the five people wore when they went to Fengmen Village.

The two service personnel who were found were both unconscious. Those who entered Fengmen Village earlier than them would have no chance of being alive unless a miracle happened.

Even so, the people at the Astronomical Observatory still held a glimmer of hope.

Now, the body of one of them has finally been found, and their last bit of hope has been shattered.

"Keep salvaging, maybe the bodies of the remaining four are also in the pond!"

After confirming Xiao Wu's identity, Liu An waved his hand and gave instructions to the team members.

With several people working together, the salvaging process was much faster. Not long after, the other four bodies were also salvaged and neatly placed together.

At this point, all five members of the Yeban Sanjing team have been found, but they have all met with unexpected misfortunes.

The body had been soaked in water for too long and no fatal wounds could be seen. Liu An stroked his chin and looked at the pond, wondering what he was thinking.

"What on earth was that dark shadow that led us here just now?"

They were able to find the body successfully thanks to the guidance of the black shadow. Liu An couldn't figure out who the other party was and why he brought them here.

"Team leader, this place looked like a lonely little house when we were in Fengmen Village during the day. Could it be the house of the village guard?"

Why did the village guard's house become a pond where corpses could be sunk in the gloomy Fengmen Village?

This question lingers in everyone's mind, but no one can answer it.

"No matter what, take the body out first."

Liu An made a decision.

Finding the missing person, even if it is a dead body, is considered completing part of the mission.

At the team leader's command, everyone worked together to put the five bodies into body bags, preparing to bring them back after daybreak.

However, just as the body was being put into the body bag, another dark shadow passed by the pond. Liu An was quick-witted and chased after it immediately, without even having time to say a word.

The black shadow was extremely fast, and Liu An was no less fast than him, chasing after it relentlessly. Eventually, the black shadow even left the ground with both feet and flew up.

Liu An tapped the surface of the pond a few times, used the water surface as support, jumped across the pond, and stood in front of the black shadow.

The black shadow seemed to not expect that he would be caught up. He was stunned for a moment and then prepared to turn around and continue to escape.

How could Liu An let him escape so easily?

With his hands clasped together, the Sanhe Plate began to spin, emitting a little light.

With a "bang", even though there was nothing in front of him, the black shadow seemed to hit a wall, making a loud noise.

I changed direction in defiance, but was bumped back again.

After trying all directions, the black shadow finally realized that he was trapped.

"Here, no matter you are a human or a ghost, you can never escape!"

The "Kun" technique is a basic magic used by the members of the Stargazing Bureau. The moment the black shadow was stopped, he was doomed to be unable to escape from Liu An's palm.

The shadow fell silent.

"Who are you? Why did you lead us to these bodies?"

Liu An originally suspected that the shadow was the village guard, but then he thought that the village guard's soul was incomplete and his soul was still incomplete after death. It might have been the village guard's instinctive duty to guide them to leave before, but he felt that the village guard had no consciousness to guide them to find the body of the deceased.

Liu An was full of doubts about the identity of the black shadow.

The shadow was wearing a black robe with a hood that covered his face.

Although he was clearly a ghost, his body trembled slightly when he heard Liu An's question.

Squinting his eyes, Liu An had a vague guess in his mind.

"Are you a member of the Midnight Three Shocks team?"

Although it was a question, Liu An's voice was unusually certain.

Sure enough, upon hearing the words "Midnight Three Shocks Team", the black shadow trembled even more violently.

Liu An stared at him, not in a hurry, but used those eyes that seemed to see through everything to make the black shadow unable to settle down.

Finally, the shadow reached out and pulled down the hat on his head.

Perhaps knowing that he had no way to escape, the black shadow decided to just give up.

"I'm Xiao Wu from the Midnight Three Shocks team!"

Although he had become a ghost, as light as a swallow, Xiao Wu sat down on the ground.

Across the pond, he watched as people over there put their bodies into body bags.

Looking at his own corpse with his own eyes, Xiao Wu's pale face did not show much emotion, and he looked a little wooden.

"You are the service personnel, right? I don't know how you got in without being noticed by those people. I just want to know if our Midnight Three Shocks team has become famous?"

Xiao Wu looked at Liu An seriously and asked.

Even now, even though he is dead, he still can't forget this incident.

"You didn't go live on the agreed time, some people scolded you, some people were worried about you, you are completely in trouble!"

Following Xiao Wu's words, Liu An knew that if he wanted Xiao Wu to tell him about their previous experiences, he must not anger him now.

"Haha, we've always dreamed of becoming famous overnight, but we didn't expect that we would end up disappearing and dying before we became famous..."

Xiao Wu was not surprised by Liu An's answer and suddenly burst into laughter wildly.

"Team leader——" A member of the Observatory on the other side of the pond gestured to Liu An.

Seeing the team member's gesture, Liu An returned a gesture but did not take any action. Instead, he simply sat on the ground and accompanied Xiao Wu.

"You are a service member. Aren't you curious about what happened after we arrived at Fengmen Village?"

Liu An didn't say anything, nor did he ask any questions. After Xiao Wu laughed, he became confused.

"Not curious!"

Liu An’s answer stunned Xiao Wu.

"How can you not be curious? As a serviceman, shouldn't you protect us? If you can't protect us, are you unwilling to save us? Didn't you come here just to find us? Now that you have found our bodies, don't you want to know why we died?
Shouldn't you, the duty officers, investigate the secrets hidden in Fengmen Village and give justice to those of us who died innocently?"

As if irritated by Liu An's indifferent attitude, Xiao Wu stood up angrily and pointed at Liu An and questioned him.

"So, are you willing to tell me what happened? Why is your soul the only one here? Where are the souls of the other four members of your Midnight Three Shocks team? Are you willing to tell me everything from beginning to end?" Compared to Xiao Wu's irritability, Liu An seemed much calmer. "Their bodies are right there. Since you guided us to find your bodies, I believe you have more to say to your companions!"

Xiao Wu became like a deflated ball, he suddenly collapsed and sat on the ground again.

Without Liu An's consent, he could not leave this square place.

From the very beginning, Liu An had no intention of letting him go, no matter what Xiao Wu's attitude was.

Xiao Wu had just become a ghost and didn’t know much. He hadn’t integrated into the villagers of Fengmen Village and was no match for Liu An.

"I, I, I have nothing to say. I don't know where they are. I know nothing. Solving the case is the responsibility of you, the staff. We died here because you, the staff, failed to protect us. It's all your fault. Yes, it's all your fault..."

As if he had found an outlet for his emotions, Xiao Wu started to accuse Liu An again. This time, his entire body began to swell, and his appearance gradually became the same as his corpse.

Liu An noticed every change in Xiao Wu. He noticed a purple mark on Xiao Wu's neck, which was exactly the same as the mark on the neck of the staff member who committed suicide.

However, the marks on Xiao Wu's neck were obviously much shallower and not fatal.

If Xiao Wu was not strangled to death but was rescued in the process, then what was his real cause of death?

Xiao Wu's condition was obviously not right, and he pushed all the responsibility onto the service personnel, but in fact, this action was spontaneously initiated by the Yeban Sanjing team, and they did not report it to the service personnel. The service personnel did not know that they had come to Fengmen Village, nor did they know the details of Fengmen Village, so Xiao Wu's accusation was unreasonable.

From a psychological point of view, Xiao Wu's reaction is actually to cover up his inner fear and anxiety, or even to force himself to forget about it. It is very likely that the real culprit is Xiao Wu himself.

It is for this reason that he is unwilling to admit it and, when questioned, he pushes the responsibility onto the service personnel.

Since no one else was present, the service personnel became the best scapegoat in Xiao Wu's eyes.

No matter what Xiao Wu did, he was afraid in his heart. So after discovering Liu An and his group, he paradoxically led them to the pond, which led to them finding five bodies.

"It's all your fault, you deserve to die!"

Xiao Wu's body suddenly swelled up, he stretched out his arms, and fiercely pinched Liu An's neck.

With a "sizzle", Xiao Wu's arms touched the cage wall set up by Liu An using the "trapped" technique, and his hands were corroded instantly. He screamed, retracted his arms, and looked at his hands that were corroded but could not regenerate, his eyes full of fear.

He seemed to have never seriously thought about how Liu An trapped him.

"Now, can you tell me what happened to you in Fengmen Village?"

Liu An looked at Xiao Wu expressionlessly and asked in a cold voice.

-

At the same time, Fatty and his friends also discovered some unexpected situations.

When Feng Baobao wanted to bury someone, everyone else tried to stop her, thinking that they should investigate the matter first.

The days and nights in Yinfengmen Village passed quickly, as if in the blink of an eye, the sky was bright.

The villagers walked out of the houses with the lights turned off one after another.

They gathered near the altar, surrounded the high priest, and danced, expressing something unknown.

The high priest made a stop gesture and said in a low and seductive voice: "The goddess accepts our wish once a year. As long as we make a wish, the goddess can help us realize it!"

The villagers cheered when they heard this.

"Fatty, do you think the goddess is really that powerful and can fulfill the wishes of these villagers?"

Wang Ye gently touched the fat man's arm and asked in a low voice.

"One wish per person, what do they think of the goddess? There are so many people in the village. If everyone's wish can be fulfilled, then no one in this world will be willing to work hard. Everyone wants to make a wish, but they are not willing to put in the effort and put all their hopes on the goddess. These people are crazy!"

The fat man rarely looked serious. The people of Fengmen Village seemed to have no need to work, day or night. They just stared at the goddess infatuatedly, and their fanatical eyes made people feel creepy.

"Have you noticed? Fengmen Village seems to have no land. In such a remote village, even if we live off the mountains and rivers, what can we gain if we don't work?"

Wang Siqi was paying attention to the buildings in Fengmen Village. Not to mention the cemetery in the middle of the village, just those buildings that looked like a prison made people feel that there would never be a way out.

"We are now in the middle of the village, but there is only an altar, no cemetery!"

Feng Baobao noticed this when she first came over. Their time seemed to be a little messed up.

At least, at the beginning, the dead in Fengmen Village were not buried in the middle of the village.

"It seems that after Feng Baobao's conversation with that woman, the things we saw in the village were different from before. The Red and White Evils did not appear, and that strange ballad did not sound. We also did not encounter the day that the villagers repeated again!"

The fat man touched his chin and his expression became serious.

"There isn't a lot of resentment here. It's completely different from the resentment that rose to the sky when we first entered the village. I suspect we have entered someone else's illusion, which is why there has been such a change."

Feng Baobao was the most intuitive in feeling the resentment. She had been paying attention to the changes in the resentment, but she didn't bring it up at first because she was also curious about what the person behind the scenes wanted to do.

"Perhaps what we saw was what happened in Fengmen Village. In any case, the village guards are still here. Let's go find them first. Maybe we can find some clues!"

They were able to leave Fengmen Village before because of the guidance of the village guard. No matter whether they are in an illusion or not, the village guard is the only constant.

The village guard's house was in the corner of the east end of the village. There was no family around it, only an old locust tree, under which stood a simple thatched hut.

The village guard had messy hair covered with straw, ragged clothes, no shoes and dirt on his feet. He ran out of the thatched hut like a madman.

"The goddess becomes a bride, the goddess becomes a bride..."

When they passed by the fat man and his group, they heard the village guards muttering this sentence over and over again, and then they ran away.

"It's a headache. We are in the state of spirits now. We can't summon the souls of the village guards here to ask for clarification!"

The fat man touched his head and felt that the problem became even more difficult when facing the crazy village guards.

"The goddess becomes a bride. Why do I feel like the village guard is predicting something? If the scene we saw is in chronological order!"

The figure of the village guard has disappeared without a trace.
The words he was muttering seemed to still linger in his ears.

Wang Ye touched his nose, feeling a little uneasy.

"Let's go to the altar. No matter how the surrounding environment changes, it will always remain the same!"

I wanted to find some clues from the village guards, but in the end I found nothing, so I had to go back to the altar.

It felt like they were watching a play and so far, there was no progress at all.

Feng Baobao was very depressed. Even if it was a play, it had to be coherent. It always made people guess what was going on!
"The altar is the center of Fengmen Village. Indeed, no matter how it changes, that place remains unchanged. Let's go over there!"

Wang Siqi agreed with Feng Baobao's opinion. The Feng Shui of the entire Fengmen Village was out of control. There was a powerful thing behind the scenes that suppressed the entire village.

Several people returned to the altar. (End of this chapter)
