    In order to confirm my feeling, I randomly picked a stilted building on the roadside and got in quietly.

    Holding a gun in one hand and a flashlight in the other, I carefully entered the room that should be the bedroom of this house.  Shining a flashlight on the bed in the bedroom, I saw that a set of quilts had been laid out on the bed, but there was no figure under the quilt.

    Seeing this, I walked towards the bed and shone a flashlight on it carefully.  On the bed, there were obvious signs that someone had slept here before, but the person lying on the bed now seemed to have gotten out of bed and left here because of something.

    I searched around again, and found the same scene in the other bedrooms in this stilted building, in any room similar to a bedroom.  There are three bedrooms in this stilted building. The beds in each bedroom are covered with quilts and pillows, but the people sleeping on the beds seem to have left their rooms for some reason and their whereabouts are unknown.

    Having finished searching here, I broke into a stilted building next door and found that the situation was the same. The owner of the stilted building seemed to have gotten up and left his house while sleeping in the middle of the night.

    After searching several houses in a row, I have completely understood the fact that the residents of the entire village, regardless of gender, old or young, all suddenly left their homes because of something while sleeping in the middle of the night.

    Looking at the village that looked like it had turned into an uninhabited village from the outside, I felt a little overwhelmed and couldn¡¯t figure out what was happening in front of me.

    ¡°I¡¯m afraid it hasn¡¯t been twenty-four hours since I escaped from the village yesterday, but in such a short period of time, what happened to this village?  Is it something terrible that would make people in this village suddenly leave their warm beds, leave their houses, and disappear into the night in the middle of the night?

    Could it be that I subconsciously thought of a guess, that is, the villagers in this village gave up overnight because they learned about my escape from the police station chief in the town and felt that their crimes were about to be exposed.  He escaped from the village?

    Although this speculation sounds absurd, it is the most likely explanation for the current situation.

    Thinking of this, I immediately quickened my pace and arrived outside Widow Liu¡¯s farmhouse. Widow Liu¡¯s house was different from the houses of other villagers. In addition to Widow Liu¡¯s family, there were also many foreign tourists living here.  If my guess just now is correct, then the tourists staying here should still be in their guest rooms.  It is impossible for the villagers who are absconding out of fear of crime to take away the tourists in the village as well.

    But when I came to the guest room of the farmhouse, I found that the guest room here was already empty.  This emptiness does not mean that there are no tourists in the farmhouse. In fact, I found several backpacks of foreign tourists and their changes of clothes in several rooms on the third floor.  I recognized these clothes as those of the three college students who took drugs with us that night.  It seems that when I escaped yesterday morning, the three college students had not yet left the village.  However, now these three college students have disappeared like the villagers!

    Could it be that my previous idea was wrong?  The villagers didn't leave the village because they were afraid of crime, but something happened in the village that caused the entire village to leave overnight?

    In an instant, my thoughts were in a mess and I couldn¡¯t figure out a clue.

    This situation is really strange.  In order to find the whereabouts of Lin Qianyi, I was mentally prepared to ask the people in the village for the whereabouts of the missing women, even if forced by force. But now let alone the missing women.  A woman, and now everyone in the village is missing.

    In the past, no matter what strange events I encountered, even if I was in a cloud of smoke at the beginning and had no clue at all, I would always move towards the light step by step and slowly figure out one clue after another.  , the mystery is gradually revealed until the truth is revealed.

    But this time, the mystery of the whole incident has become more and more confusing, confusing, and clueless from the beginning. It is simply a mess!  In addition to being able to confirm that this disappearance case is related to the people in this village, I also have questions about why the people in the village kidnap others, why they only target women and ignore men, and at this moment  Why all the people in the village disappeared is still not clear at all!

    In the chaotic thoughts, I left the farmhouse like a headless fly, searching aimlessly in the deserted village. In despair,??Even the thought of hiding myself was thrown away and I shouted loudly on the street, hoping that a living person would respond to me.  However, this village seems to have become a completely uninhabited village. In response to my call, only the unknown beasts in the surrounding woods responded to me through their calls.

    I kept walking forward like this, completely unaware of where I was. When I suddenly smelled a fragrance, I realized that I had arrived in front of the ancestral hall in the village. The fragrance I just smelled  , it was coming from the ancestral hall.

    This aroma seems to come from the kind of bamboo sticks used for worship.

    Thinking of this, I immediately rushed into the ancestral hall.  In front of the tablets in the ancestral hall where the villagers' ancestors were placed, I found several incense candles that had not yet been burned out.  This discovery greatly excited me.

    This is because the bamboo incense in temples generally does not last long.  The time of "one stick of incense" is often mentioned in martial arts novels, which means the time it takes to burn a stick of incense, and this time usually refers to more than forty minutes.

    Therefore, the unfinished burning of incense in front of me means that at least forty minutes ago, someone came to this ancestral hall!

    Who could be the person lighting these incense?  Where are they now?

    I looked around, and just about to search the ancestral hall, there was a slight "whirring" wind sound in my ears.

    "Huh?"

    I was suddenly a little strange. Because incense and candles are burned all year round, there are no windows in the ancestral hall. So where did this wind come from?

    I took a flashlight and looked around, but I couldn't find the source of the wind noise, but through the light of the flashlight, I noticed something suspicious!

    By the light of the flashlight, I noticed that on the incense table in the ancestral hall, the smoke from the burning bamboo stick incense actually made a circle in front of the incense table and went directly into the crack in the wall next to the incense table!

    Under the light of the flashlight, the smoke from the burning incense was vague, so when I saw this scene for the first time, my first reaction was that I was dazzled. When I got closer and took a closer look, I realized  I'm sure I read it correctly.

    "The smoke was actually sucked in by the wall?"

    I stared blankly at the wall in front of me, and suddenly I noticed something was wrong. I pricked up my ears and moved closer to the place where the smoke penetrated the cracks in the wall. As a result, I discovered that it was the wind sound I just heard.  , it was also coming from behind the wall!

    How is this going?  I reached out and touched the brick wall in surprise, wanting to feel what was going on with the wall, but when I touched it, I suddenly made a big noise.

    With a sound of "Boom!", a tiny crack suddenly appeared in the brick wall in front of me, centered on the place I just touched. In the blink of an eye, the crack suddenly expanded, and the brick wall in front of me actually split into two.  , half of them moved directly to the right for more than one meter and got behind the incense table.  And in its original position, a passage deep into the ground was revealed that could accommodate two people moving forward side by side!

    "Thiswhat is going on?" When I saw the passage that suddenly appeared in front of me, I was stunned on the spot. I never thought that there would be such a sophisticated mechanism in an ancestral hall in a village!

    In addition to this, another question also emerged in my mind, that is, what purpose did the villagers use to dig such a tunnel under the ancestral hall of their ancestors?  Where does this tunnel lead to?  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
