Strange Realm: Old Object Collector

Chapter 99 Weird Mountain Village

Anyway, that thing standing just now couldn't be a human.

"What's going on?" Someone Yu also saw the footprints on the ground and said, "Was there an animal here just now?"

"Well, just now I noticed something unusual here, like something staring at me, so I came to take a look. I didn't expect that there was a pair of paw prints here." Chen Wang nodded, then paused and said, "I suspect it is A mutated beast with very high intelligence.

Judging from the position of these two footprints, we can see that the beast was just standing upright in the corner staring at us. "

Hearing his story, Yu suddenly felt a chill crawling up his spine.

He instantly had a picture in his mind.

In the darkness, a tall beast stood upright, holding on to the wall, with a pair of faint eyes staring at him.

But I didn't realize anything.

"Be careful later." Chen Wang looked at Yu and whispered.

Yu nodded.

Afterwards, the two continued walking towards the bright spot in the village.

"Dong dong dong..." Chen Wang knocked on the door of a house, "Hello, is there anyone?"

As he finished speaking, the lights in this house were immediately turned off.

Chen Wang and Yu looked at each other.

This village is getting weirder and weirder.

Afterwards, Chen Wang knocked on several doors one after another.

These doors are all the same as the house where the door was knocked for the first time. After the door was knocked, the lights were immediately turned off.

"This won't work either." Chen Wang shook his head.

He came here this time to ask about the current situation of Su Xiaotian's parents.

If these people didn't communicate with him, he wouldn't even be able to find the door to Su Xiaotian's house.

Then he pondered for a moment and looked at a house at the foot of the mountain in the distance.

He had just looked at that house with the Eyes of the Void, and a funeral was being held.

The other party will definitely not just close the door and ignore people like those houses just now.

Immediately, Chen Wang took steps towards the house at the foot of the mountain.

When Yu saw this, he didn't say anything and followed behind him.

Not long after, the two arrived near the house.

As he got closer, the crying became more obvious.

Chen Wang got closer and could really see the things in the shack.

In the middle of the shack, there is a black and white photo and a tribute of incense and candles.

In the photo, there is a young man.

Behind the photo is a black coffin.

When Chen Wang saw the black coffin, his heart skipped a beat.

In this world, different colors of coffins represent different meanings.

Red coffins are for funerals and are used by old people who die of natural old age.

The white coffin means cleanliness and is used for children who died in infancy and unmarried women.

As for yellow, and gold. One is used by civilians who have no money to paint, and the other is used to show their noble status.

The black coffin in front of me is the most turbid, unclear, and very thick. Most of them are suicides, people who died in wars, and people who died unexpectedly.

Although it is said that Dazhou is no longer so particular about the color of coffins. In many places, black coffins are used to express heaviness and solemnity. But in rural areas like this, generally speaking, the original customs are maintained.

"Did something happen to this village? Is it related to that mutated beast?" Chen Wang thought to himself.

"Who?!" At this moment, a loud shout came.

An old man with gray hair, holding an iron fork, stared at where Chen Wang and Yu were.

As he roared.

The people who were still crying in the mourning hall immediately became alert and ran into the room.

"Hello, I came here to visit a friend. I was passing by here and wanted to ask where he lives." When Chen Wang saw this, he immediately raised his hand to show that he had no ill intentions.

Someone on the side saw this and raised his hand at the same time.

Seeing them coming out, the vigilance on the old man's face relaxed slightly.

"What's your friend's name? Where is he from?" He stared at Chen Wang and asked.

Someone Yu looked at Chen Wang.

To be honest, he still had some doubts about this matter.

After all, Chen Wang is from Qingyu City, so how can he know the people here?

"I'm looking for Su Xiaotian. He and I are friends on the Internet. He is from Fengshan Village." At this time, Chen Wang said.

"Su Xiaotian?" When the old man heard what he said, there was a look of confusion in his eyes. Then he suddenly thought of something and his face became a little angry, "Su Xiaotian has been dead for a long time. How can you be his friend!"

"Ah?" Chen Wang was stunned, and then said quickly: "Old man, I really didn't lie to you. I am a friend of Su Xiaotian who I met on the Internet for a long time. Later, I couldn't get in touch with him, so I came here here."

This was the excuse he had in mind.

Choosing the identity of the netizen can explain why he does not know where Su Xiaotian lives, his age, etc.

Moreover, it can also connect him with Su Xiaotian.

"Really a netizen?" The old man frowned and stared at Chen Wang suspiciously for a long time. Seeing his young and slightly immature face, he felt a little relieved.

"Yes." Chen Wang pretended to be shocked and asked: "Old man, Su Xiaotian is dead? How did he die?"

"Well..." The old man had a troubled look on his face, then sighed and said, "You guys come in first. It's a little cold outside."

After saying that, he took the fork and entered the house.

Someone Yu looked at Chen Wang.

Chen Wang nodded, and then the two entered the house.

Compared with most of the houses in the village, this house is obviously well-repaired. The main structure is not wood, but a cement house.

However, this house is still relatively rough in construction. There are no floor tiles on the ground, but a finely plastered cement floor.

Under the light, in the center of the house, against the wall, there is a picture of a Bodhisattva giving birth to a child. However, it is a bit old, the surface is a little faded, and some places are yellow.

After entering the house, the old man walked to the door and carefully locked the door.

"Uncle, what are you doing?" Seeing this scene, Yu couldn't help but narrowed his eyes and tightened his body muscles slightly.

On the side, Chen Wang saw him like this and reached out to pat him on the shoulder.

Yu looked at Chen Wang and saw that his expression did not change at all, and his body muscles relaxed.

"Something happened in the village recently." The old man closed the door, with a sad emotion on his face.

Hearing the old man's words, Chen Wang couldn't help but narrowed his eyes.

Could this be related to the weird beast from before?
  "What happened?" Yu asked from the side.

There was a hesitant look on the old man's face, and finally he sighed and said, "We still have to start talking about this matter half a month ago..."
