Chapter 753: A strange thing appears in the fishing village, and everyone is trapped inside
The door slammed shut, and Baili Pangpang was like being struck by lightning.
He stood there in a daze, with a few banknotes thrown by the old woman scattered at his feet.
His eyes widened in disbelief, unable to believe what had just happened.
“Fake money?!”
Baili Pangpang bent down to pick up a banknote, carefully identifying it in the moonlight, and kept muttering to himself,
"How could this be fake money? I, Baili Pangpang, have a very good character."
"How could I possibly use fake money to cheat people? You must be kidding!"
He was so angry that his face turned red and his voice suddenly rose octaves, attracting the attention of the surrounding villagers.
Shen Qingzhu walked to Baili Pangpang, picked up a banknote and looked at it carefully.
Under the moonlight, the lines on the banknotes are clearly visible and the texture feels very real, it does not look fake.
"Fatty, this money is real." Shen Qingzhu said with certainty.
"real?!"
When Baili Pangpang heard this, he immediately became energetic.
"That's what I said! How could I possibly take fake money? That old woman must be blind!"
"Then why did she say that the money we gave her was fake?" Cao Yuan asked in confusion, touching his chin.
When Baili Pangpang heard this, he immediately became depressed again: "I want to know too! What's going on?"
Shen Qingzhu looked around. The village was quiet, with only the sound of the sea breeze.
She always felt something was wrong.
"The problem is not money." Shen Qingzhu said slowly.
"If it's not about the money? Then where is it?" Cao Yuan looked confused.
"In the village."
Shen Qingzhu's eyes grew deeper. "Don't you think this village is... weird?"
"strangeness?"
Baili Pangpang scratched his head. "Isn't it just a little remote and a little poor? What's so strange about that?"
Cao Yuan also nodded: "Yeah, I don't think it's anything special."
Shen Qingzhu didn't say anything. She walked to the door of the house she had just visited and looked up at the calendar pasted on the door.
The calendar is dated fifty years ago.
She sighed softly and whispered, "Maybe...we shouldn't have come here."
Lin Qiye looked at Shen Qingzhu's back and always felt that she seemed to know something.
He walked to Shen Qingzhu and asked softly, "What did you find?"
Shen Qingzhu shook his head and said nothing.
She just looked up at the moon in the sky, the moonlight shining on her face, making her look particularly peaceful.
"Let's go in first and then talk."
Lin Qiye said, "This is not the place to talk."
A few people returned to the village and found a B&B that looked relatively clean to stay in.
In the room, Lin Qiye sat at the table, looking at the dark night outside the window, feeling a little uneasy.
"Qingzhu, what did you discover?" Lin Qiye asked.
Shen Qingzhu hesitated for a moment, then spoke: "Do you remember that family just now? The calendar on their door..."
"I remember, what's wrong?" Baili Pangpang looked puzzled.
"That calendar is from fifty years ago." Shen Qingzhu said slowly,
"That means they haven't changed the calendar in fifty years."
"Fifty years?!"
Baili Pangpang's eyes widened. "How...how is this possible?"
"That's nothing."
Shen Qingzhu continued,
"Have you noticed? The clothes and things the people in this village wear are very old, as if... they are still living in 50 years ago."
"what do you mean……"
Cao Yuan seemed to understand something, "This village... time has stopped?"
Shen Qingzhu nodded: "Maybe...it's worse than this."
At this moment, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open and Wu Hen walked in.
"Something seems to be wrong outside." Wu Hen said with a serious expression.
"I just went out for a walk and found out...it seems like we can't get out."
"can not go out?"
Lin Qiye frowned, "What do you mean?"
"That's what it means."
Wu Hen said,
"I tried to walk out of the village, but... no matter how I walked, I would end up back inside."
"So evil?"
Baili Pangpang was a little unconvinced, "I'll go out and take a look!"
After saying that, Baili Pangpang rushed out of the room.
Not long after, Baili Pangpang came back with a depressed look on his face.
"it is true."
Baili Pangpang said, "I can't go out either."
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense.
"It seems... we are trapped here." Lin Qiye said slowly.
"Now what?"
Cao Yuan asked, "We can't stay here forever, right?"
Lin Qiye didn't say anything. He walked to the window and looked at the dark night outside, his heart full of doubts.
What secrets does this village hide?
Suddenly, he seemed to think of something, turned his head sharply and looked at Shen Qingzhu.
"You just said that the calendar on that family's door is from fifty years ago..."
Lin Qiye's voice trembled a little. "Then did you notice the date on the calendar...what day is it?"
Shen Qingzhu was stunned for a moment and recalled carefully.
"I remember...it seemed to be July 15th..." Shen Qingzhu said.
Lin Qiye's face turned pale in an instant.
"The fifteenth of July..."
He muttered to himself, "Today is... July 14th!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the lights in the room suddenly went out.
In the darkness, a cold voice echoed in the room.
"Welcome to...Ghost Month..."
"Welcome to...Ghost Month..."
The cold voice seemed to come from all directions, drilling into people's ears.
Baili Pangpang jumped up and almost hit the beam.
"Ghost Month? What ghost?"
His voice had changed in pitch, and his originally round face now looked more like an inflated pufferfish.
His eyes were wide open and he looked around, as if he was afraid that something would suddenly jump out.
Shen Qingzhu swallowed and tried to calm himself down.
She suppressed her uneasiness and explained, "I just said that the calendar hanging on the wall of the first family was fifty years ago. Do you remember?"
"I remember, so what?"
Baili Pangpang looked confused and obviously didn't understand the seriousness of the matter.
"Isn't it just a bit lazy? I haven't changed the calendar in fifty years. What's the big deal?"
Although Cao Yuan didn't say anything, his brows were getting tighter and tighter.
He was not a fool. He vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
"Maybe it was just hung up by mistake." Cao Yuan tried to find a reasonable explanation to break the strange silence.
"Maybe the family accidentally dug out an old calendar and just hung it on the wall."
Shen Qingzhu shook his head, his tone heavy: "If it's just one family, then it can be said to be a coincidence."
"But, have you noticed that many households in this village have very old things, and some have even been discontinued?"
"Stop production?!" Baili Pangpang was stunned for a moment and recalled carefully.
It seems to be true. When he was walking around the village just now,
I see a lot of things that look familiar, but I can't remember where I've seen them.
Now after hearing what Shen Qingzhu said, he realized that those things were only available when he was a child.
"Now that you mention it, it seems to be true... I just saw a soda being sold in a store."
"The bottles were all those old-fashioned glass bottles that you don't see anymore."
Shen Qingzhu nodded and continued, "And the clothes. The styles of the clothes they wear are also very old."
"It's like... like something people would wear in the fifties or sixties."
Now everyone realized the seriousness of the problem.
If one or two things were old, it could be considered a coincidence, but if the whole village was like this, it was definitely not a coincidence.
"What the hell, is this possible?!" Baili Pangpang exclaimed, his voice trembling slightly.
"Did we...travel through time?!"
cross?
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the room instantly became even weirder.
Although this sounds ridiculous, if it is not time travel, how can we explain everything in front of us?
Shen Qingzhu's face was pale, and she couldn't be sure what had happened.
She just felt that they seemed to be caught in a huge whirlpool.
Moreover, this vortex is constantly tightening and may swallow them up at any time.
"It's no use saying this now." Lin Qiye took a deep breath and tried to keep himself calm.
"The most important thing for us now is to figure out where this place is and...how we can get out of here."
As the night deepened, the atmosphere in the room became increasingly depressing.
Outside the window, the sea breeze was howling, like ghosts and wolves howling, which made people feel creepy.
Wu Hen stood by the window, looking outside silently.
He said nothing, but his eyes were full of vigilance.
He always felt that something was secretly watching them and was approaching step by step.
Baili Pangpang swallowed his saliva and asked cautiously:
"Um... Qingzhu, you just said that today is July 14th, so tomorrow is..."
"Ghost Festival." Shen Qingzhu's voice was very soft, but it was like a huge rock, hitting everyone's heart heavily.
Lin Qiye turned his head abruptly, looked at Wu Hen, and asked in a deep voice, "You were walking along the waves just now, and asked Hei Tong to investigate. Did you find anything?"
Wu Hen shook his head and said in a low voice: "No. The black pupil is completely ineffective, as if it is blocked by something."
Lin Qiye's expression became even uglier.
Black Pupil is one of his most powerful trump cards. If even Black Pupil becomes ineffective, then they will be in a desperate situation.
Just then, there was a knock on the door of the room.
"Dong dong dong..."
The knock on the door was very light, but in the quiet night, it was particularly clear, as if knocking on everyone's heart.
Baili Pangpang was so scared that he trembled and almost jumped up.
He stammered, "Who...who?"
An old voice came from outside the door: "Dear guests, I am the owner of this B&B. I would like to bring you some hot water."
Hot water?
Who has time to drink hot water now?
Baili Pangpang subconsciously looked at Lin Qiye, waiting for his instructions.
Lin Qiye narrowed his eyes, stared at the door, and said in a deep voice: "No, we are not thirsty."
There was silence outside the door for a moment, and then the old voice came again: "Dear guests, you should drink some water. This water... is very clean."
"boom!"
The door was suddenly pushed open from outside, and a hunched figure appeared at the door.
He was holding a tray with several teacups filled with steaming...
Bloody water.
A cold light flashed in Lin Qiye's eyes, and he reacted almost instantly.
"Be careful, there's a trap!"
Lin Qiye's pupils suddenly contracted, and he pulled Shen Qingzhu behind him.
At the same time, he shouted, "Fatty, Cao Yuan, protect yourselves!"
Before Baili Pangpang could react, the hunched figure suddenly pounced on him!
His speed was extremely fast, not at all like that of an old man.
The tray in his hand flew straight towards Lin Qiye's face with a fishy sound!
"I rely on!"
Baili Pangpang let out a strange cry, but his fat body was extremely flexible. He rolled over like a lazy donkey to avoid the splattering blood.
Cao Yuan also reacted quickly, drew out the long sword from behind, and stood in front of everyone.
The boss missed his attack and did not continue to attack. Instead, he let out a shrill and strange laugh.
His voice was hoarse and sharp, like nails scraping against glass, making your scalp tingle.
"Hehehe... Welcome to Ghost Month... Welcome to... the paradise of death..."
As he laughed strangely, the surrounding scene began to become blurry.
The originally dilapidated B&B began to twist and deform, and distorted faces appeared on the walls, emitting silent screams.
"Hallucination?!"
Lin Qiye frowned. He knew he was under an illusion, but he couldn't break free.
The scenes around him became more and more real and more and more terrifying, as if they were dragging him into an endless abyss.
"Calm down! Don't look at those things!" Shen Qingzhu's voice sounded in his ears, with a hint of trembling.
"Concentrate and keep your mind!"
Lin Qiye took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and tried to calm himself down.
He knew that in this situation, fear was the worst enemy.
Suddenly, he felt a cold breath rising from the soles of his feet and spreading throughout his body in an instant.
He suddenly opened his eyes and saw a pool of blood at his feet, which had appeared out of nowhere and was slowly spreading...
