"Are you looking for me?"
A cold, sinister voice came from behind the group.
It was the old woman's voice.
"..."
Everyone tensed up, their minds subconsciously recalling the words Mongo had shouted when he was banging on the door outside—"The villagers are all ghosts!"
Could it be...
Everyone had the idea of fleeing White Village immediately!
Just as they were about to take action... suddenly, they found they couldn't move their bodies.
I can't even move my fingers or speak... No, not only my body, but the air around me has frozen, as if it has fallen into a state of stillness.
Just then, Tanya's voice rang out: "Search inside the house. They couldn't have just disappeared like that."
She turned around and said to everyone, "Don't make a fuss over everything."
As she spoke, she forced herself to ignore the old woman standing behind Su and the others, who was wearing a strange smile.
She pretended not to see him.
On the other side, Su and the others only remained still for four seconds before recovering.
Upon hearing Tanya's words, they all realized that the old woman's voice was a trap, and they absolutely could not respond!
You must act as if nothing is wrong!
Their abnormal physical condition just now... must have been caused by Tanya.
Tanya was the first to realize what was happening. To prevent them from being fooled, she used force to restrain them for four seconds... That's roughly the truth.
They were not attacked by ghosts or monsters.
Everyone was right; Tanya had indeed saved them.
A four-second spatial confinement—Tanya used one of her unique abilities.
"The captain is right."
Su quickly played along, saying, "If someone's missing, we can just look for them. What are you all panicking about?"
After saying that, she didn't turn around to look at what she shouldn't see. Instead, she went forward, reached out, and pulled the curtain halfway open for Tanya, pulling it all the way down in one go. She then carefully checked the bed.
Soon, she saw the old woman and her granddaughter sleeping with their eyes closed under the bed.
She couldn't be sure if the two of them were really asleep.
Seeing this, Tanya and the others crawled under the bed, trying to squeeze in with the old woman, and closed their eyes to pretend to be asleep.
……
Hongcun.
Fan Xiao and his group, who entered the tile-roofed house as "uninvited guests," immediately saw the homeowner and others performing a ritual in front of the shrine.
The shrine houses clay figurines of people dressed in red wedding gowns and wearing red veils.
Its craftsmanship is exquisite; it could easily be sold as a collectible figure.
Seeing this, Fan Xiao and the others crowded around and followed suit.
Silently, Fan Xiao tore off his blood-red shawl, letting it merge into the ground, creating a small sea of blood that was hidden beneath the earth.
His physical body was hidden in the sea of blood, and his spirit was divided and dispersed, not concentrated in one place.
The body left on the ground instantly became an empty shell, carrying only a portion of spiritual power.
If he were the dungeon boss here, a supernatural event could probably happen on the spot.
Fan Xiao admitted that setting a trap in this way does carry certain risks.
Yes, he's setting a trap—if ghosts appear at night, will they be fooled by his human skin disguise? Or will they be able to discover his true form?
If the ghost is fooled by the fake human skin, he will try some crazy tricks.
If his true form is unfortunately discovered, he will call out Qiqi to keep things under control.
He had pretty much figured out the dangers in this instance.
The villagers of Hongcun pose no threat to him.
After all, these guys' main attack method is to tear and eat the player's body, so they can be said to be naturally countered by his "flesh progenitor" psionic energy.
If he uses his body as bait to lure the villagers over, and then summons Qiqi, he can easily carry out a massacre... no, a monster extermination.
As for the Ghost Queen...
The Ghost Queen is currently in a dormant state, with only her subconscious mind active – these are the village chief's exact words.
Fan Xiao doesn't trust the village chief, but he trusts his own judgment—Red and White Village is a survival-type instance, and the crisis will most likely come in stages.
The most ferocious demon queen is currently restricted from appearing, which is consistent with the logic of a phased crisis.
Even the awakened Ghost Queen might not be his match, so he naturally wasn't afraid of this dungeon boss who was currently in a weakened state.
Of course, he wasn't too overconfident and also took into account the possibility that it was "easy to make but had great hidden dangers."
In other words... the Ghost Queen is likely ridiculously powerful.
So at this moment, his true form, which was in the sea of blood, was also worshipping the clay figurine of the Ghost Goddess along with the people on the ground.
At the same time, he was multitasking, monitoring the behavior of other villagers through the flesh and blood creatures scattered in their homes.
The villagers under surveillance all began to offer sacrifices.
Even the details of the movements are almost identical.
If nothing unexpected happens, worshipping the Ghost Goddess will be one of the rules that must be followed at night.
I just don't know how long the worship will last.
Thump thump thump, thump thump thump...
Just then, a knock sounded at the door of the tiled house.
Then came an unfamiliar female voice: "Is anyone there?"
"anyone there?"
"I came in since no one was there..."
Chapter 543 I saw you, hehe
Hearing the noise outside the door, everyone inside was startled, but none of them dared to react.
The homeowners did not respond at all; the only sound inside was breathing.
Suddenly, the door creaked open.
Light footsteps sounded.
That strange woman, who is most likely not alive, has entered the house!
Footsteps began to linger close to the group, and everyone tensed up.
The homeowner still did not react. After sensing this, Owen and the others had no choice but to suppress their increasingly tense feelings and continue to kneel in place to worship.
At this moment, Fan Xiao opened one eye at the back of his head, and his eyeball moved as he looked around.
A graceful woman dressed in a deep red wedding gown and wearing a deep red veil was seen circling around them.
Even knowing that the other person is very likely not alive, just looking at the woman's figure still gives one the feeling that "it's not impossible."
As if sensing that she was being spied on, the woman suddenly moved closer to Fan Xiao and lifted the red veil covering her head with both hands.
A horrifyingly pale face was revealed, devoid of any color, as if it had been soaked in water, covered in swelling and dead skin, and its eyes, filled with resentment and malice, sent chills down one's spine.
After the woman lifted her veil, she placed her cold hands on Fan Xiao's shoulders and said excitedly, "You saw me, right? You saw me, right?"
Fan Xiao's eyes were tightly closed.
Nothing happens.
It doesn't look like they saw it.
"..."
The woman's excitement subsided, and for the first time ever, she felt suspicious.
Why do I feel like I'm being watched?
The woman left Fan Xiao, seemingly defying fate, and continued to move following the "sense of being watched," soon getting close to Fan Xiao again.
This time, she approached Fan Xiao from behind, her venomous eyes fixed on the back of his head.
"you……"
—You saw me, right?
The woman hesitated before asking the question, though she clearly intended to.
Speaking maliciously towards the back of someone's head?
She's never encountered this version before.
Is this a new way to play?
Just then, Fan Xiao's head suddenly rotated 180 degrees, and his face was now directly facing the woman's gaze.
Then, countless eyes sprouted from Fan Xiao's face, opened, and all looked at the woman.
Fan Xiao's lips suddenly parted into a wide grin, and he said in a sinister tone, "I see you."
"!?"
The woman suddenly took several steps back.
He seemed to be frightened.
You Guo and the others, who were praying with their eyes closed, also heard the woman's and Fan Xiao's voices, and the sound of the woman's footsteps retreating... They were all filled with doubt.
Oh... what's going on?
What happened...? The monster seems to have been scared and retreated?
Something seems off...
No... nothing's wrong. It must be that monster tempting them to open their eyes!
What a cunning little devil!
Instead of intimidating them, they lured them in by arousing their curiosity... What a brilliant tactic!
Fortunately, they figured it out.
For a moment, no one dared to open their eyes.
On the other side, the woman in the red wedding dress quickly realized that she had been tricked. She immediately became furious and turned her hands into sharp claws, lunging at Fan Xiao.
Her mouth split open to her ears, and she opened her blood-red maw to bite Fan Xiao.
Fan Xiao, on the other hand, seemed to have developed a competitive spirit and was unwilling to be outdone, so his entire head started to grow bigger, turning him into a "super big-headed doll".
When he grinned again, his mouth was now as big as a door.
The woman's forward lunge stopped because of this scene.
She...she didn't even know where to bite!
From a third-party perspective, she appears to be "food delivered to the door" that actively pounces into the other person's mouth.
What the hell is that...?!
"Jie Jie Jie..."
Fan Xiao suddenly stood up, his hands and feet transforming into dancing tentacles. Mouths sprouted from these tentacles, filled with gleaming white fangs. The tentacles collided with each other, producing a grating sound like metal scraping together, causing intense physical discomfort.
His clothes burst open, and thousands of countless eyes opened from his skin, all staring maliciously at the woman in the red wedding dress.
The woman felt a chill run down her spine from being stared at.
The next second, the mouths that grew from Fan Xiao's tentacles all spoke at the same time, shouting: "You audacious monster! I can tell at a glance that you are not human!"
