My chuunibyou self: All my fantasies have come true

My sixth sense told me something was off.

Miaomiao is on night watch tonight.

Seeing that he was awake, she asked curiously, "What's wrong? Did you have insomnia?"

"Hmm...I find it strange!"

"What's strange about it?" Miao Miao asked.

"I want to go and see the ancestral hall."

Miao Miao frowned, "Are you crazy!?"

"No, I just find the ancestral hall very strange."

During the day, I learned a lot of things; each of the other rules had its own legend behind it.

Only the road closest to the ancestral hall is shrouded in mist and fog.

Unfortunately, villagers were guarding the ancestral hall, as if they were afraid we would go in.

Lu Jing voiced his doubts.

Miao Miao squinted and looked Lu Jing up and down again.

At first, she thought Lu Jing was just a newbie who had never participated in a dungeon before.

He needs to be taught what to do before he will do it.

But it was obvious that she was wrong.

This guy is a rebellious teenager going through puberty just like me!

"........"

late at night.

Two figures ran one after the other through the quiet village.

Unlike the brightly lit and bustling cities, the countryside is always exceptionally quiet and mysterious at night.

Especially at this time, the entire village seemed to be shrouded in a thick layer of darkness, giving people a sense of inexplicable loneliness and fear.

The stars in the sky were all bigger and brighter than the last.

Footsteps fell on the snow, inevitably making a sound.

"Sasa sasa~"

Every now and then, a gust of wind would come from behind, and even the thickest cotton-padded coat could be blown through by the wind.

It made people quicken their pace.

"Coming."

Lu Jing said.

The two passed by the warning sign

Snowflakes were still falling from the sky, and the village was covered in snow everywhere.

Only around the warning sign was not a single snowflake.

The large, scarlet characters were exceptionally conspicuous even in the darkness.

Do not approach the ancestral hall in the center of the village.

Clearly warn everyone not to trespass into the restricted area.

At this moment, Miao Miao felt a sense of unease.

Gao Mingyuan is the best example of the consequences of violating the rules.

"Are you sure your feeling is right?" Miao Miao asked again, still uneasy.

"uncertain."

"Heh!" Miao Miao said, "I love your personality!"

"So why do you think there's something strange about the ancestral hall?" Miao Miao asked.

"It's not that the ancestral hall is strange, but that I feel there's something strange about this village."

“This village was never normal to begin with!” Miao Miao said.

"No! Everything in the village, viewed from an alternative perspective, is within the realm of logic, but there are some things that are outside of it."

Miao Miao didn't understand some of it.

Lu Jing then put it another way, "For example, the world as seen by a mental patient is chaotic, and absurd in the eyes of others."

But in his eyes, the world was normal, and it followed a self-consistent logic.

The two walked to the outside of the ancestral hall while talking.

At this time, the ancestral hall was no longer guarded.

"Do we really want to go in?" Miao Miao asked.

"Okay." Lu Jing nodded. "I'll go in. You wait for me outside."

"What are you saying! If we're going in, we'll all go in together."

Miao Miao was unwilling to show weakness in front of her juniors.

"........."

The ancestral hall appears even more eerie and terrifying at night.

The faint candlelight flickered and swayed, as if it might go out at any moment.

The shadows seemed to dance in the darkness, sending chills down one's spine.

In the silence, the occasional soft rustling of the wind could be heard, like the whispers of ghosts.

The ancient building exudes a sense of antiquity, and the mottled marks on the walls and faded murals add to the eerie atmosphere.

The two cautiously entered the ancestral hall, where the dim light made everything blurry.

The ancestral tablets stood there quietly, the scent of incense filling the air, mixed with the smell of dust.

Ancient artifacts, worn books, and mysterious symbols all evoke images of past sacrificial rituals and mysterious religious beliefs...

Miao Miao lit a candle and placed it in the corner.

"What does this mean?" Lu Jing asked curiously.

Miao Miao explained, "The candlelight changing color proves that something strange has happened."

The level of danger can also be determined by the changing color of the candlelight.

"Isn't this a plot from a tomb raiding novel?" Lu Jing's eyes lit up.

"It's somewhat similar, but that's the purpose of props. What can I do? Any practical prop is a good prop," Miao Miao said.

Lu Jing held a flashlight and shone it around.

The ancestral hall has everything one would expect: a name plaque, ancestral portraits, and a double bed.

lamp cabinets, couplets for the hall...

"It seems... there's nothing strange about it."

Miao Miao glanced at the candle she had placed in the corner; it hadn't changed color.

"If that's the case, then it's strange. If there's nothing strange about it, why won't they let us get close to the ancestral hall?"

Lu Jing's gaze fell on something hanging from the roof beam.

"what is that?"

"It should be a family tree."

"How did you know?" Miao Miao asked.

"The village's genealogy records are stored in a study because there is no study room, but we are afraid of rats gnawing on them and we need to keep them dry."

Family genealogy records are usually hung on the roof beams of the house.

Firstly, it was to display sacredness; secondly, it was to prevent rats, water, and fire from coming into contact with the family tree, thus avoiding damage to the genealogy.

Therefore, family genealogies are usually wrapped in oiled paper and hung from the roof beams of the house, and are not easily opened.

Miao Miao: "You know that too?"

"My grandfather told me this when I was little..."

Lu Jing hadn't finished speaking.

Miao Miao had already leaped onto the roof beam, quickly untied the rope, and taken down the family genealogy.

Lu Jing took the family genealogy and began to look through it.
