The snow has been falling for nearly half an hour, and the dense snowflakes have obscured the view, making it difficult for people to see the distant scene, and the road under their feet is covered with snow, which is difficult to identify, and every step you take, you must make sure that you can step firmly before you can walk, otherwise there is a risk of slipping.

Yu Chen was not affected by these circumstances in the slightest, he seemed to have been here countless times, and he was extremely familiar with the environment here, and at the same time, he could see that he was very excited, and did not notice his obviously abnormal situation.

Xia Ren climbed over the steep slope and followed closely behind Yu Chen, otherwise in this bad weather, he would get lost in this bad environment if he was not careful.

The wind was howling and raging, and they did not expect that the weather on the seaside would change so quickly.

As the sky darkened, Natsuhito noticed that there were small hills rising beside the road they had walked, and it was the graveyard that they had just seen on the steep slope, and the black-brown tombstones stood in the snow, like the broken nails of a huge, decomposing corpse, which looked creepy.

Xia Ren sensed that the fear in his heart was growing irrepressibly, which was obviously not a good sign, knowing that he had not seen any strange creatures and terrifying scenes with his own eyes, which made Xia Ren a little worried about whether this body could support him to walk in front of the old gods.

He suddenly began to miss the last ancient dream, although the environment of the Infinity Ice Sheet was also extremely harsh, but Lin Xiao's sanity and pollution resistance were much higher than ordinary people, and even seeing Xiugus up close did not fall into madness, and was able to react quickly and escape with his companions.

Moreover, at that time, he still had Ranaya by his side, the gentle woman who only had a few packets of biscuits left and had to pay them all for herself.

Look at the present, there is only one poor boy with this body daughter by his side, and it is simply a heaven and an earth in comparison.

When people are in pain, they always unconsciously recall the good things of the past, because it can relieve their mental stress.

After walking like this for about ten minutes, they finally stood at the entrance to the town before it was completely dark.

"This is where your family lives?"

Xia Ren gasped with a displeased expression on his face.

The previous invitation had promised that the ancient ceremony would be held on December 25, but they had already arrived in the town, not to mention the ceremony and the lively crowd, and at a glance, except for the falling snowflakes, there was not even a single child on the main road of the town.

The surroundings were silent, the doors and windows on both sides of the road were tightly closed, and it was impossible to see if there were any living people in the houses, and if it weren't for the street lights turning on at a distance from the street, Xia Ren would even think that this was an abandoned town that had long been abandoned by people.

Yu Chen himself also felt a little aggrieved, but he had long been accustomed to the character of his father-in-law, which was a typical knife-mouthed tofu heart, although his personality was sometimes a little irritable, but he was generally a good person.

Yu Chen was already grateful to his father-in-law for agreeing to marry his precious daughter to a poor boy, so he could bear even if he had a bad temper.

"Maybe it's because it's snowing, so I don't want to come out, and calculate the time, now is the time to eat, so it's normal to have fewer people."

Yu Chen said with a smile.

Although even he did not believe this explanation, because they had already walked some distance on the street, and there was not a single one smoking in the chimneys of the houses they passed, indicating that there was no one cooking in it at all.

Xia Ren snorted, not thinking too much about his son-in-law.

In fact, when he saw this abnormal situation in the town just now, he was relieved, because the more abnormal it is, the higher the probability that there will be an old god here, if he is lucky enough, maybe he will be able to successfully meet the old god tonight, and then return to reality from the ancient dream.

On the contrary, if everything is normal, he will have to spend a lot of time and experience actively looking for clues to the old gods, which is the worst-case scenario, because the longer he spends in the ancient dream, the more painful it will be when he gets out of the ancient dream.

The reason why he reprimanded Yu Chen just now was purely to play this role well, so as not to let the other party notice that something was wrong with his father-in-law.

After being spurred by his father-in-law, Yu Chen also began to become anxious, and his pace couldn't help but speed up a lot.

He was also a little worried, because the butler who had sent the invitation before said that there would be his people here, but after walking for so long, there was no one on the street, and as for the hospitality behind, there was no hope.

He knew that when he and his father-in-law asked passers-by about the town, and no one had an impression of this place, he should have been wary.

Yu Chen secretly regretted in his heart, feeling that he had been deceived.

The car they had rented from Arkham was still parked at that narrow intersection, and it would take at least two hours to return, and the act of traveling in the dark for two hours in the snow was tantamount to suicide, so there was no way to go back even if they wanted to.

But fortunately, the scene that I have been dreaming about since I was a child once again brought a hint to the aftermath.

According to the guidance of his heart, he led his father-in-law all the way forward, through the circular square in the town, and then along a stone road to a spire house with the unique architectural style of Xizhou.

Unlike other houses in the town, this one is lit.

Yu Chen smiled at Xia Ren: "This is it, that's right." ”

Then he snapped the knocker.

Xia Ren looked in through the window on the wall, but the light in the room was really dim, and he couldn't see anything clearly.

Suddenly, with a "squeak", the door opened, and Xia Ren felt a chill down his spine, he obviously didn't hear any footsteps just now.

Fortunately, this fear didn't last long, he stood next to Yu Chen, and the door was opened by an old man, wearing a robe and slippers, to be honest, this kind of quaint dress Xia Ren has only seen in the movie, but I didn't expect that there are really people dressed like this in reality, worthy of an ancient family.

The other party's face was not sad or happy, it was calm, and he didn't mean to welcome them at all, which made Xia Ren wonder if they had found the wrong house.

The old man raised his head and glanced at Xia Ren lightly, it was this one look, Xia Ren suddenly felt like he had been stripped naked and thrown outside in the snow and rolled, his legs trembling uncontrollably.

Fortunately, the other party did not seem to be hostile, and then stretched out a hand, pointed to his throat, and then shook it from side to side, indicating that he was a mute.

He welcomed their arrival by writing down a quaint phrase in the notebook and pen he had brought with him.

Yu Chen didn't realize the old man's horror, and he nodded at the other party to express his gratitude.

I don't know sign language, so that's the only way to do it.

Xia Ren finally broke free from the fear just now, and in a trance out of the corner of his eye, he saw that in the dark and deep room, several vague figures flashed away, and his spirit became tense again.

He felt a pang of bitterness in his heart.

The body's sanity and resistance to pollution are too low......
