"Your companions all say they didn't see anything just now, so how are you going to explain the insult to Hong Gu?" a villager asked angrily.

The village chief waved his hand again: "Erniu, forget it, he's new to the village, he doesn't know any better, that's why he said that. Let's let him off this time."

Upon hearing this, Erniu let Zhang Biao go, and Zhang Biao immediately looked at the village chief with gratitude.

The village chief greeted them, saying, "Because this house was previously uninhabited, according to our village custom, we need to place the Red Maiden's altar behind the door. Now that you've moved in, let Erniu move the altar to the main room. From now on, you can stay here comfortably."

After Erniu finished his business, the village chief left with Erniu and the others, leaving only Zhang Biao and his group behind.

After everyone had left, Gao Ting couldn't resist mocking Zhang Biao's behavior: "Zhang Biao, you weren't so scared that you ran away like a baby, were you? If that's the case, why didn't you leave first thing tomorrow morning?"

Zhang Biao glared at her, muttered "you bitch" under his breath, and continued examining the phone, trying to find other evidence.

The portrait of Hong Gu was no longer at the entrance of the house. The group went inside and found that it was a normal house with four rooms and an empty livestock shed next to it.

They arrived at the main hall.

Even just looking at that portrait of Hong Gu gives one a chill down their spine.

Li An began, "Since there are four rooms inside, everything is easy to calculate. The girl..."

"My sweetheart and I will be staying in this room."

Before Li An could finish speaking, Gao Ting interrupted him, grabbed Zhu Junwen's hand, and led him directly into a room.

Li An choked, wishing he could beat this NPC to death.

"So how do we divide it up next?" Li Na asked hesitantly.

This way, although there are still three rooms left for the six of them, there are three boys and three girls.

We can't just find another guy and girl to live together.

Li An glanced at everyone present and quickly made a decision: "Then how about this, the three boys will share one room, and you girls will share two rooms."

Almost as soon as they finished speaking, Li Na and Ge Mei hugged each other.

Well, this is exactly what Nanxi wanted.

She waved with a smile: "Then I'll live alone."

Li Na and Ge Mei exchanged a glance, unsure if they had made the right choice. After all, this player named Nanxi seemed quite powerful and had a good relationship with the big boss Li An.

But... such a beautiful person makes one hesitant to touch them...

The rooms have been assigned.

Everyone was exhausted after a long day and had finally found a place to stay. No one was clamoring to go on an adventure that night; everyone just wanted to get some rest.

When Nanxi returned to her room, she could still hear Zhang Biao muttering something.

"Smack."

As soon as the door closed, Jumpy jumped out of the pocket, a rare hint of excitement appearing in his bright red eyes: "This village should be quite fun."

"How so?" Nanxi raised an eyebrow.

This was the first time she had ever seen Qiuqiu so excited.

Qiuqiu jumped around happily: "The previous locations were all normal, but this place is different. In my eyes, the whole village seems to be shrouded in a ghostly aura, and not just a faint ghostly aura!"

At this point, Qiuqiu got excited.

Does that mean there will be a big one?

I don't know if it will taste good...

Nanxi didn't refute Qiuqiu's words, and just sniffed lightly.

She could smell the ghosts. As she walked through the entire village, she smelled the same ghostly scent the whole time, without any difference in intensity.

This indicates that the ghosts in this instance are not focused on one particular place, but rather completely surround the entire Anning Village.

Perhaps... this is the ghostly aura that Qiuqiu was talking about?

[The King of Balls has arrived!]

Welcome, welcome! A warm welcome!

[What exactly is this ghostly aura that Qiuqiu mentioned that surrounds the entire village? Aren't we just spectators? Aren't we supposed to have a god-like perspective? Why are there things we don't know?]

[...A very reasonable question.]

If you put it that way, then I think I understand why Sister Nan is so amazing; even her pets are so powerful…

"Then I have no other choice."

"Let's wait and see what happens next."

Nanxi pinched Qiuqiu's head and narrowed her eyes.

Night fell quickly.

In the middle of the night, a woman's sobbing voice echoed throughout the village, mournful and painful, as if she were experiencing the most painful torture in the world.

"Bang!"

The light in Gao Ting's room came on at that moment. Frustrated, she picked up something from the bedside table and threw it at the door, making a loud noise.

"It's so noisy!"

I really don't know why someone is crying in this small village in the middle of the night.

Even after they threw something at it, the crying outside hadn't subsided.

Gao Ting suddenly became furious and kicked Zhu Junwen: "Go check what's going on outside and tell the people outside to stop making noise!"

Zhu Junwen's eyebrows twitched slightly, but he squeezed his eyes shut even tighter, pretending that he was still asleep.

"Grass!"

Gao Ting got up grumbling and opened the door to go outside: "I want to see what's going on outside, who's making all this noise..."

She had only spoken halfway when her voice gradually faded away.

Zhu Junwen waited in the room for a while, then called out softly twice, "Gao Ting, Gao Ting?"

No one answered from outside.

Startled, he pulled the blanket up high and buried his head in it...

early morning.

Nanxi woke up from her sleep, stretched, and saw that her phone on the bedside table had received many messages.

She opened it and found it was a group message sent in the middle of the night.

[Anning Village Exploration Team]

[Zhu Junwen: Did you hear the crying outside?]

[Ge Mei: I heard you...]

[Zhu Junwen: So, are you planning to go out and see what's going on?]

After that sentence, the group message, which had been making noise, suddenly fell silent.

After a long while, I saw Zhang Biao's message again.

[Zhang Biao: The crying outside is so loud! Why is it still going on? Are the people from Anning Village deliberately causing trouble?]

[Li Na: I don't know.]

[Zhang Biao: Haha, I've figured out the reason for what happened during the day. It was actually a setting issue on my phone. I always said, how could this place be haunted? Everyone, get some sleep, and we'll explore again tomorrow according to the information in the post.]

[Zhu Junwen: Are there really no ghosts?]

[Zhu Junwen: But Gao Ting went out after hearing the crying, and then she never came back...]

The group chat suddenly went silent.
