The crooked way can also lead to heaven
Chapter 8: Horror in a Deserted Village
The three people in the house were still trembling. The scene in front of them was so shocking that they still couldn't calm down.
There were a total of six people who came here together, all of whom were full of interest and prepared for this archaeological excavation.
Who would have thought that this was the first night after arriving at the place where they were staying, and the archaeological work had not yet begun, and they encountered such a change.
After killing the zombies, Ye Ran did not rush back to the house, but walked around the charity cemetery.
He always felt that something was wrong with this place. He was a little panicked when he first entered the village. This was completely out of human instinct.
I wanted to go out and explore along the way I came, but there were abandoned buildings and weeds everywhere around. How could there be any people living there?
What are you digging here for archaeological excavation?
Are you digging a zombie nest?
After exploring for a while, Ye Ran rushed back. If he continued to go deeper, he might run into something.
If he was entangled by a strange thing and there was an accident in the charity cemetery, the young lady would not be able to protect herself.
Back in the house, Luo Xiaoxiao was comforting the other two. Even though she was so scared that her voice was shaking, she was still trying to hold on and not show any discouragement.
"Don't shake, the zombies are gone, and the surroundings are safe for the time being. Let's take a rest." Ye Ran said and leaned against the wall.
Luo Xiaoxiao's eyes were complicated. The man in front of her had just experienced a strange thing, and so many people died in front of him, but he still pretended to be as if nothing had happened.
The last change of mind also made her relieved. As a person who walks in the underworld, she must have been accustomed to bloody scenes.
"Master Ye, escort us away at dawn. I don't want to stay any longer."
Luo Xiaoxiao bit her red lips and spoke. Although she was unwilling to not complete the archaeological work, her life was more important, so it was better to leave early.
Hearing this, Ye Ran just chuckled: "I don't mean to attack you, but it's too late to leave now."
The other two people's faces changed slightly, and Luo Xiaoxiao was also a little confused, so she asked: "What do you mean?"
Ye Ran raised his head and looked at her, his eyes were extremely serious: "There will be no dawn in this place, unless we can break the array eye left by the caster."
The village was full of fog, and only when you get close to a specific place can you see the scene in front of you clearly. It is obvious that someone has set a trap for them to get in.
The most important thing is here. The trap he left for you is the only way to get out. Even if you know that there are many traps, you still have to get in.
Either be trapped here forever, or get into the trap to find a solution.
Ye Ran felt like laughing when he thought about it. A few days ago, he was still using open plots to calculate others, but someone came back so soon. It was really retribution.
After hearing this, Luo Xiaoxiao's persistence completely disappeared. She already understood what Ye Ran meant, and her legs softened and she knelt on the ground.
As a young lady, she had never been treated like this before, and she was so flustered that she lost her composure.
Ye Ran took a deep breath, took out a cigarette and lit it, and after a few puffs, she asked, "I'm very curious, why did you choose to come to such a remote place to do archaeology, where did you get the news?"
"Zhou Hao." Luo Xiaoxiao uttered the two words gently, and the scene at that time also emerged in her mind, and then she said, "Zhou Hao's elders have experts in this field, so he got the inside information."
Ye Ran was thoughtful, but there were still many questions in her mind: "Is there no other information?"
Luo Xiaoxiao thought carefully, and in just a few minutes, her eyebrows were raised and lowered.
Finally, she seemed to think of something, and her eyes lit up immediately: "I remember Zhou Hao said that when he got the news, there was a person next to him... By the way, Scorpio old man!"
Ye Ran began to think about these four words in his mind, and suddenly remembered that the bald man who was killed by him in a fight with someone some time ago seemed to have mentioned the name of Scorpio old man, who was said to be his master.
Generally, evil cultivators recruit disciples for a very strong purpose. When the bald man died, the old man Scorpio would definitely feel it.
Therefore, although the two of them had never met, they had already formed a deep hatred in secret.
Earlier, Lin Tianfeng said that Luo Xiaoxiao's family had some problems and could not even spare the time to hire guards.
And Zhou Hao's elders met with the old man Scorpio, and then got the inside information that there was an ancient tomb here.
Combining these fragmentary clues, Ye Ran has deduced the general situation.
Zhou Hao's family has close contacts with the old man Scorpio, and its real purpose should be to quietly deal with Luo Xiaoxiao in order to gain some benefits from it.
On weekdays, these chaebol families are calm on the surface, but in fact, undercurrents are surging behind the scenes.
In addition, each family has a complex network of forces that are intertwined, and it is common to be calculated by others.
"The news of hiring me as a bodyguard should have spread a long time ago, so the old man Scorpio probably wants to get rid of me while getting rid of Luo Xiaoxiao."
"What a good plan to kill two birds with one stone. In addition, the psychedelic array set up here is quite exquisite. This old man Scorpio is really interesting."
Ye Ran couldn't help but sneer when he thought of this. In this case, let me see how much weight you, the old man Scorpio, have.
As for the dead Zhou Hao, I'm afraid he didn't know about it. Maybe he was also a victim of the family.
"Take time to rest. There will be no place to stay later." Ye Ran closed his eyes after saying that.
But Luo Xiaoxiao and others didn't have the heart to sleep. They could only hug each other for warmth and seek spiritual comfort.
...
After an unknown amount of time, Ye Ran got up and prepared to go out. He looked back at the people who were in a very bad mental state and said softly, "Let's go."
Although the three were afraid, there was no other way at the moment. It was better to go out and find a way out than to be trapped here.
Leaving the charity cemetery, the surrounding fog made the already nervous three people even more panicked.
Not long after walking, a clear path appeared in front of them.
There were weeds on both sides, the dilapidated houses were covered with vines, paper money was scattered on the ground, and the only light was the swaying candles on the side of the road.
Ordinary people would never see such a scene in their lifetime.
Ye Ran walked in front with an oil-paper umbrella, and his eyes were also swaying around.
If you want to break the formation, you can't miss any details, otherwise you may fall into a deadly trap.
After walking for a distance, I don't know if it was because of being too nervous, a woman couldn't hold it anymore, and suggested taking a few minutes to go to the toilet.
Ye Ran glanced at her sideways. Although he didn't say anything, the warning in his eyes was self-evident.
The woman could only hold it in, lowering her head and not daring to speak.
"Ouch, why did you stop?"
Luo Xiaoxiao accidentally bumped into Ye Ran's back and looked at him in confusion.
Ye Ran gently raised his head and said, "Look."
Luo Xiaoxiao moved his feet and tilted his body to look forward. His originally listless mood instantly turned into fear.
On the steps not far ahead, there was a floating woman's head!
Out of curiosity, the other two also plucked up the courage to take a look, but they screamed in fear after being stunned.
Luo Xiaoxiao was quick and quickly covered the mouths of the two people. If they were discovered, it would be all over!
After comforting the two people, Luo Xiaoxiao signaled them to be silent, and then turned around carefully. He found that the head was still floating left and right, and he was relieved when he found that it was not looking here.
But in the next second, the head suddenly stopped in place and began to change direction at a slow speed, just in time to meet everyone's sight.
Ye Ran frowned slightly, because he had already recognized what it was, and immediately grabbed Luo Xiaoxiao's shoulder and pulled her back.
The two women wanted to chase, but they couldn't keep up with Ye Ran's speed, and they were completely lost in a few seconds.
Ye Ran stopped and pressed Luo Xiaoxiao behind him until it was safe.
"What was that head just now?" Luo Xiaoxiao was panting, and the fear in her heart was still there.
Ye Ran squinted his eyes and looked at the intersection, and said seriously: "Flying Head Man, a monster that can separate the head from the body."
Luo Xiaoxiao's worldview was refreshed again. He didn't expect that in addition to encountering zombies, he could also encounter monsters.
Thinking that his friends hadn't come yet, he shivered and said: "...them."
"They can't survive. Flying Head Man is a group monster. As long as one appears, it means that there are a large group around."
Ye Ran's tone was a little heavy. Things like Flying Head Man are weird. If there is only one, it will undoubtedly be very easy to deal with.
The strange thing is that this thing lives in groups, and anyone who sees it has to retreat.
In a head-on confrontation, it's either me or him.
"If only my ancient corpse was here, it would be easy to deal with them..." Ye Ran thought in his heart.
At first, I thought that the evil creatures here were all raised by the old man Scorpio, but after seeing the flying head barbarian, I gave up this idea.
That old thing should have just transformed this place.
