Chapter 218 The Weirdness Continues to Spread

"Hey! I have a very handsome face, what are you talking about?"

"Then why are you asking me? I answered truthfully. Look at you, you are still like this."

The girl lifted her hair, looked around, and gradually fixed her eyes on a group of children. Then, as if she had strengthened her determination, she took a handful of ash from the ground and smeared it on her face, then jumped towards that side.

"Hey~ This is.....It's not you now..."

[Hey hey hey~ Host, did you really not see that or are you pretending to be dumb? They are obviously helping you to get information, why are you still yelling?]

The moment the voice in Wen Baixu's mind sounded, Erkang's hand, which had been stretched out, instantly retracted. He touched the back of his hand with his other hand, and his eyes kept glancing around, very cautiously.

"No one saw it, right? If they did, it would be..."

[You still know that people have worked hard to gather intelligence for you, but you are still holding them back. Tsk tsk~ You will probably be scolded to death]

"Scold to death? What did I do? I did nothing. You didn't see it... I didn't see it either."

The little eyes glanced around while mumbling, not noticing the red eyes watching from afar...

After a while, the girl wiped the dust off her face, waved goodbye to the children happily, and walked towards Wen Baixu.

"Have a drink of water first, and then tell me what you heard."

Wen Baixu handed her a cup of tea and looked at her, as if he wanted to find out something from her.

"Huh~ Has this matter already reached here?"

"What are you talking about? Speak clearly."

Wen Baixu was completely confused when he heard this. He pulled the girl with both hands, and just as he was about to pull her away, he saw the girl instantly withdraw her hands, look around, put down the teacup, moved her lips slightly, and walked out of the tea shed.

Wen Baixu's face suddenly turned ugly. He stood up quickly, took out a few copper coins from his arms and put them on the table, then walked out.

When I returned to the inn and opened the door, I saw three living people sitting in their rooms.

"You guys gathered pretty quickly. Can you tell me now, little princess?"

After saying that, he closed the door, turned around and gave the girl a look.

"Okay, but this matter has a bit too many implications. After you listen to me, there are still some things that need everyone's help to do in the evening."

"What is it?"

Jiang Zifang was surprised, wondering why they had to start work before they even got to the place.

"Is such that......."

Lianyi glanced at everyone and then slowly told them what she had learned from the children: it turned out that this town was a must-go place leading to the border, and before, there was an endless stream of people going to that place every day, and there were many people returning and going there, as well as merchants, but now they have disappeared. The reason is that the town dozens of miles ahead has blocked the road leading to the border so that no one can get through, so now only this town is slightly better, but it has also been affected. Every time at midnight, the fog over there will wander towards the direction of the town. Every household will close their doors and never go out. Once they go out, they will disappear in an instant, without a trace. However, legend has it that the direction to there can only be found in the fog but not in the daytime.

"So the fog will move? And the place it moves to is the next town. So... does that mean that we can only go in and out when the fog moves?"

Wen Baixu stroked his chin and said thoughtfully

"But... if the fog moves, who knows if we can get out of there? Another point is how can we get there through the fog? Also, people disappear in the fog, which means there is a monster in the fog or the fog itself is a man-eating monster."

Ling Yun looked at everyone calmly, but he did not say the next words.

"Then we have to go out and explore the way in the middle of the night."

Jiang Zifang's slightly moving lips revealed something that no one wanted to do.

"Then I'll go first. If you can't do that, tie a rope around my waist or put a talisman on it so you can detect my location. The test time is limited, so we can't..."

Before Ling Yun finished speaking, he saw Wen Baixu, who was originally sitting, suddenly stand up and hold his hand, and said solemnly: "Let me do this. Anyway, my contribution is the smallest. Let me accumulate some contribution points at this time, okay!"

The pitiful little face and tears in the eyes made Ling Yun, who looked serious, a little overwhelmed.

"Oh...ok...ok, but you must..."

Before he finished speaking, Wen Baixu made a gesture and went out happily, but the next second he pushed the door open and said to the three people sitting there: "This is my room, you...get out"

After saying that, he gestured and pointed to the door.

The three of them looked at each other, nodded, and then walked out.

Seeing that everyone had gone out, Wen Baixu lay down on the bed, crossed his legs, and wondered what he was thinking about...

The night was as dark as ink, and the thick fog was like a curtain, filling the cold air, as if even breathing could condense into frost. The pale light of the street lanterns swayed in the fog, like ghost lanterns, casting mottled spots of light. The streets were empty and long, as if swallowing up all sounds, leaving only the cries of crows.

There was a suffocating silence in the air. Whenever the wind blew, the mist swayed gently, like the whisper of the night. Every building on the street was wrapped in thick fog, revealing only vague outlines, like the residence of ghosts in ancient legends.

The deserted streets seemed unusually eerie, with crows calling one after another, like ghost whistles, reminding the remaining lives in this silent space. Occasionally, water drops would slide down from the roof and hit the wet ground, the sound echoing in the empty streets, adding a bit of ghostly atmosphere.

A wisp of fog slowly rose on the street, and in this fog, there seemed to be countless pairs of eyes hidden, peering in the darkness, making people feel cold. The crows' cries were like invisible hands, stirring up this oppressive atmosphere, making people involuntarily speed up their pace, wanting to escape from this terrifying fog.

The houses standing tall on the streets are like giant beasts, waiting for someone to turn on their switches.

There was a creaky sound as the window opened, and a figure in a black nightgown quickly jumped out of the window into the dark street, and the window closed immediately after he disappeared.

The night returned to silence, as if nothing had happened.

In the thick fog, a black shadow shuttled through it, like a black silk thread extending all the way to the innermost part. Just as he gradually slowed down his pace, one thing after another gradually blocked his retreat...
