"I... why do I feel like this place is strange!"
As soon as Itto entered the village, he felt uncomfortable all over and swallowed hard.
"I know! Itto is scared!"
Klee, being straightforward, blurted out the truth.
Itto still stubbornly argued, "How is that possible? This Daddy, am not scared! I just feel a little unaccustomed to it!"
Klee retorted, "Huh? But Klee felt the same way when Acting Grand Master Qin caught her throwing bombs."
Just as Itto was about to continue his rebuttal, a figure appeared in front of them.
Under Lin Yuan's flashlight, the figure appeared very eerie, swaying as it walked towards them.
"Help! There really is a ghost!"
Xiangling screamed and immediately hid behind everyone.
"No, I absolutely cannot show fear, or else the King of the Kids won't be mine!" Itto was sweating profusely but still held on.
Chongyun glanced at it and said, "This doesn't seem to be a ghost."
Shenhe nodded and said, "That's right, it's a person."
It wasn't until the figure got closer that everyone realized it really was a person and not a ghost.
"Ah haha, This Daddy, knew all along it wasn't a ghost! Xiangling, you're too timid!"
Itto perked up again, even mocking Xiangling.
"Ah? So it wasn't a ghost after all."
Xiangling breathed a sigh of relief and didn't care if Itto was mocking her.
Lin Yuan shone the flashlight on the figure and discovered it was a middle-aged man around 40 years old.
He just looked rather haggard and walked a bit unsteadily, which made everyone mistakenly think he was a ghost.
"Hello, Uncle, are you that person from the forum...?"
Chongyun immediately stepped forward, took out his phone, and after glancing at the ID, asked, "...es17523?"
The uncle's originally pale face immediately showed an excited expression: "That's right, I am that... what you said, 523!"
"You must be Chongyun!"
The uncle seemed to have seen a savior and immediately stepped forward to shake Chongyun's hand.
He was shedding tears of old age, incredibly excited.
"Uh, Uncle, you don't have to be so excited, my hand hurts..." Chongyun immediately pulled his hand away.
"I'm sorry, young man, I'm just too moved, because everyone online didn't believe what I said, only you believed me."
As he spoke, the uncle started crying, with snot and tears, and even tried to flick his snot onto Chongyun...
Fortunately, Chongyun dodged fast enough, avoiding the magical attack.
After the other party's emotions calmed down a bit, he continued to ask, "Excuse me, Uncle, when exactly did the situation you described begin?"
The uncle thought for a moment and then said, "It's been over a month, but I didn't notice it before."
"Look, there's no one living in this village now, everyone has moved away."
Xingqiu asked curiously, "Then, Uncle, why didn't you move away?"
The uncle was silent for a moment and then said, "Because I'm poor..."
This statement left everyone speechless; it truly was a simple and unadorned reason.
Afterward, the uncle led everyone into his home.
Unexpectedly, it was just as the uncle said; after entering the room, it became extremely cold.
Although it was winter, the cold inside was really excessive.
After the uncle's detailed description, Chongyun seemed to have found a new direction.
"Uncle, did the people in your village offend someone?"
"Offend someone?" The uncle looked bewildered, "I'm a bachelor, I really don't know who offended whom."
Shenhe said calmly, "If nothing unexpected, your village should have been subjected to a Feng Shui layout, which is why your village has become what it is today."
"Feng Shui?" The uncle shivered, "I've read related novels, and the protagonists in them are very good at Feng Shui, able to turn good places into haunted houses. I wouldn't have encountered such a thing, would I?"
Chongyun scratched his head and said, "In a sense, that's correct."
The uncle was so scared that he quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "Little brother, you must help me! I'm on welfare, with only a few hundred yuan for living expenses each month. Besides farming, I don't know how to do anything else."
"If there's really a problem here, how will I live in the future?"
Seeing the other party's appearance, Chongyun immediately comforted him, "Uncle, you don't have to be so disheartened. Actually, it's not impossible to solve, but it's a bit troublesome that you don't know who you offended."
"Little brother... no, Master, quickly tell me what to do! As long as I can do it, I will definitely help you, please don't mind the trouble!"
The uncle had found a lifeline and certainly wouldn't let go easily.
Chongyun thought for a moment and then said, "Although the Feng Shui I've learned has some differences from that on Blue Star, it's roughly similar."
"In short, to set up a Feng Shui layout, there must be related objects. As long as you find the objects, then the Feng Shui layout can be broken."
Xavier roughly understood at this point, so he asked, "Chongyun, are we going to help you find the so-called'suppression objects'?"
"That's right, especially since this village is very large, everyone's help is indeed very much needed."
If it were just one house that had a Feng Shui layout, it would be relatively easy to find, but this village is so big that even searching for a day and a night might not be enough to find those things.
"Don't worry, leave this to us!"
"If we encounter any ghosts or monsters, the Hall Master will definitely take care of them!"
Before Xavier could say anything, Hu Tao readily agreed.
After speaking, Hu Tao strode out and then turned back to ask, "Oh, right, does anyone want to come with me?"
"Klee wants to go with Sister Hu Tao!"
Seeing Hu Tao so enthusiastic, Klee immediately became interested.
The uncle looked at Hu Tao and Klee and couldn't help but doubt, "Master, are these two little girls really okay?"
Chongyun rubbed his forehead and said, "Don't worry, even if the sky falls, Hu Tao will be the last one to be crushed."
The uncle was half-believing, not knowing what abilities this little girl possessed.
Xavier looked at the map and then made assignments.
But when it came to Itto, Itto refused no matter what.
"No, This Daddy, will guard here. According to what This Daddy, know, these ghosts will definitely seek the lives of the living!"
Itto tightly hugged the door frame, unwilling to leave.
He claimed to be protecting the uncle, but in reality, he was too scared to go out.
And at this moment, Yoimiya resorted to provocation again.
"Wow, Itto, you're not really scared, are you? Actually, you can just admit defeat, there's no need to force yourself."
Itto angrily said, "Impossible! This Daddy, am the bravest in the world."
After speaking, he walked out, and he was alone.
