Chapter 31: The Blind Man's Eyes

Just turned around, although the village is small but the houses are dense, not to mention there are seventy or eighty households, from the current point of view, although this method is stupid and a waste of time, but the accuracy is still relatively high, I am afraid that the search time will drag on too long, it is difficult to guarantee what accidents will happen, it stands to reason that the task is now in the beginning stage, there will be no big problem, I am afraid that the task is not according to common sense.

Cao Xuan's worries are unreasonable, the task world is changing rapidly, and any kind of abnormality is possible, it can only be said that Cao Xuan has experienced too little, although his head is flexible, but he lacks experience in dealing with tasks, if he is a senior student of Infernal Academy, he will definitely not be in such a hurry to complete the task at the beginning, they will take advantage of the relatively smooth safety period at the beginning to find out the danger factors in the task, when they know what they have to face, they will have confidence in their hearts, and they will be more able to make due judgments about danger, But Cao Xuan didn't understand this truth at the moment.

Time passed quickly, Cao Xuan had already searched thirteen houses, went out and touched the sweat on his forehead, and looked at the high mountain above the village, the dazzling light made Cao Xuan raise his hand to block his eyes, half of the sun was hidden on the other side of the mountain, and half of it reflected a yellowish light.

This sunset seems to be a little too permanent, the sun has been in this position since I first woke up, so long has passed, there is no trajectory of movement at all, is it that time has not moved at this moment? So why am I not affected, is it because I don't belong to this world at all, so I can move freely.

Cao Xuan pushed open the door of the small courtyard opposite, got into it and continued to search, when his figure did not enter the courtyard, a touch of white suddenly appeared at the corner of the dirt path, it was a pale woman dressed in white linen clothes, with a bloodless face, her toes stood high on her tiptoes when she walked, her toes were twisted and twisted, and she moved silently, following Cao Xuan into the courtyard.

Skillfully picked up the pillow on the earthen kang, Cao Xuan squeezed it with his hand, found nothing, threw it aside, bent down, pressed the palm of his hand on the mattress, all the way from the beginning to the end, still there was nothing he wanted, his eyes looked around the room, he saw a big red quilt in the locker in the corner of the hut, just the moment Cao Xuan turned around, a miserable white face suddenly appeared on the window behind him, and the dead fish eyes were tightly attached to the glass, staring at the boss! Watching Cao Xuan's actions.

Cao Xuan dragged the red quilt out and held it in his hand, pulled open the cable at the bottom, took out the inner tank of the quilt, just groped halfway, seemed to feel something, turned his head to look out of the window, the yellowed sunlight shone in through the window, and a pot of red sunflowers was placed on the windowsill outside the house, and a gust of wind blew the flower bones slightly swaying.

Odd! How do I feel like someone is staring at me behind my back? And why did the good ones suddenly get windy? Looks like I'm going to have to pick up speed, and this anomaly must be a sign of what's going to happen.

Cao Xuan put down the quilt, walked out of the house, walked out of the small courtyard, and came to the dirt path in the village, the busy figure kept shuttling, he never found that behind him, there was a shadow of a Taoist dressed in sackcloth that had been accompanying him, every time Cao Xuan felt that when he looked back, he would always take the first step and disappear out of thin air.

Cao Xuan stopped in front of a hallway, he felt that this tile house was a little different, much more magnificent than the others, the jujube red double-open wooden door was pushed open, obviously not light, it was made of good solid wood, and Cao Xuan found that the abnormality behind the door was engraved with twisted and crooked symbols.

This symbol seems to have some special meaning, it looks like a Taoist charm.

Cao Xuan touched it with his hand, and a line of prompts appeared.

[The gossip god with the gold edge, the ghost door is sealed in the palace of He Gen, the sky is dark, the sun and the moon are unknown, the evil gods and ghosts, and there is no way to escape. 】

It seems that someone engraved the Taoist charm here to resist evil spirits, is it used to resist the corpse of the woman in red who hanged in the preview plot? Something must have happened after that caused the village to become what it is now, and everyone was gone.

Cao Xuan turned around and walked towards the house, and found a round mirror hanging upside down on the beam at the door.

Isn't this round mirror the broken mirror in the preview plot? It's just that it's complete, and I remember that according to the older generation, the round mirror was hung in front of the gate, and the purpose of this was to drive away demons and monsters, and it seems that the villagers were so afraid of the unknown outside the house that they were double-insured.

The footsteps no longer hesitate to walk into the house, which is unusually dim, all the windows are sealed with black cloth, not shining in the slightest bit of sunlight, the first glance when you raise your head can see the offering table in the middle, the position is very conspicuous, the four corners of the offering table are placed four white candles, the candle flame is shaking and seems to be extinguished at any time, the middle of the candle seems to be enshrined something, the surface is covered with a layer of yellow cloth, because the light is too dark, Cao Xuan can't see clearly.

The strange atmosphere made Cao Xuan's heart thump, and he had a feeling that what was inside might be exactly what he needed, so he stepped forward, slowly stretched out his hand, and grabbed the layer of yellow cloth.

Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang!

The sound of slamming the door came from outside the house, and in the silent environment, it was like a thunderclap in his ears, Cao Xuan trembled with fright and stopped moving.

Someone's knocking on the door? Shouldn't I be the only one here? What exactly is out there?

Cold sweat flowed down Cao Xuan's head, he slowly turned his head, and looked out through the crack in the door, the jujube red gate was closed tightly, as if the Taoist charm had played a role in blocking the evil outside.

Seeing that there was no movement for a long time, Cao Xuan reached out and grabbed the yellow cloth on the altar again.

Bang bang bang .......

There was another violent knock on the door, even more violently than the last.

"This sound seems to be preventing me from pulling the yellow cloth, it seems that the outside thing can only be blocked by this method, which means that it can't get in at all, so I can rest assured."

This time Cao Xuan ignored it, and tore off the yellow cloth that was covered, and as the yellow cloth fell to the ground, the round mirror hanging upside down on the beam suddenly exploded, shattering into countless pieces of lenses of different sizes, and the quiet village suddenly blew violently, and the sunset above changed at this moment, and the sky became a little darker from this moment.

There was a stout locust tree beside the entrance of the village, and there was a small earthen bag buried under the locust tree, and the yellow muck rolled down from the top of the earthen bag, and the soil on it began to loosen, and in the wriggling, he suddenly took out a palm, and his bloodless face poked out of the soil, and the eye sockets of that face had no eyeballs, and it was black, hollow, and stained with dried blood.

Under the yellow cloth is covered with a pillow, a pillow with a pair of eyes sewn, there are no pupils on the eyes, all the whites of the eyes, cloudy, dull and dull, Cao Xuan even took the pillow into the inventory, and the prompt appeared in his mind.

【Blind Man's Eyes (Acquired)】

Cao Xuan took out the Colt Python revolver and held it in his hand, the weapon calmed Cao Xuan's heart a little, and when he pushed the door open, he found that it was getting dark outside.

It may be that the scene changed because I obtained the mission items, and according to this speculation, when all three organs are collected, I am afraid that the day will be completely dark.

Cao Xuan stroked the jujube red façade, what was knocking on the door just now? I don't think it will be so easy to get the other two organs next, the hidden things in the village will appear, and it will no longer be safe outside.

Another thing I can't figure out, why do the villagers worship these organs? Do they have any special purpose? Could it have something to do with the knock on the door outside, maybe that thing stopped me because of fear, fear that the thing inside would be seen again, and it would have a knock-on effect.

Thinking of this, Cao Xuan opened the door with a gun, he couldn't stay here all the time, the task had to continue, the probe looked out, there was nothing outside, there was no ghost.

It seems that the thing has left, and it must be careful if it finds that it can't stop me, or it wants to wait for me at the hiding place of the next organ.

When Cao Xuan walked out of the door, he didn't pay attention, in the broken lens on the door beam, the figure of white linen was standing in front of him, staring at him viciously and leaving, the shadow was no longer so solid, it became a little illusory, it seemed that after the enshrined organ was taken out, it had caused serious damage to it, and it could not show its body in front of Cao Xuan.

I don't need to search door-to-door, as long as I see a Taoist charm engraved on the back of the door, or a round mirror hanging on the door beam, I should be able to find the location of the organ, which greatly reduces the time consumption.

Taking advantage of the gap in searching, Cao Xuan took out the contact device and put it on his ear, and the busy sound in his ears disappointed him again.

I don't know what happened to Uncle Er Zhuang and Yue Ruxue, I hope there won't be any accidents, the status of the newcomer is very humble, and it is very easy to be used as a stepping stone to test the risks for others.

"What's that?"

As soon as Cao Xuan turned around, he saw that something seemed to be approaching him in the distance, and the thing was moving very slowly, and he could only vaguely confirm that it was a human figure.

Of course, it is impossible to put it in front of him, while Cao Xuan distanced himself from the other party, he roughly went door to door to check if there was a charm behind the door, this redundant action limited Cao Xuan's speed, and the thing got closer and closer.

When the distance was close enough, Cao Xuan could already see the appearance of the guy, it was a corpse that had just died not long ago, the blood was still drying on his face, the clothes on his body were greasy and shabby, his hair was messy as if he hadn't looked at it for too long, and there were two big dark holes in his face and eyes.

Its appearance should have something to do with the eyeball I took out to worship, and it is obvious that it meets all the characteristics, that is, the blind man who was taken out of the eyeball, the nursery rhyme says that the blind man's eyeball was sewn on the pillow, but it was not explained who sewed it on, it was poached by the evil spirit? Or was it poached by the villagers? If it was poached by evil spirits, why was it enshrined by the villagers?

It is still a little more likely to be poached by the villagers, maybe the villagers have mastered some secret arts, and the eyeballs are endowed with magical abilities, so that it has the capital to fight against evil spirits.
