"That's right, I asked the people in the village about the name of the village chief, so I found out."

Li Tian did not poke Sun Qimeng, but calmed down and replied to the memories of the villagers in this strange village in the village.

He wanted to see how those newcomers to the village would be arranged by the village chief.

How did you get to be tampered with and think of yourself as the natives of the village?

Regarding this point, Li Tian did not find the answer in the memories of the previous villagers.

It seems to be shielded by some supernatural and cannot be displayed in memory.

Or maybe they had it in their memory, but the villagers had forgotten it.

Li Tian looked at Sun Qimeng, who was the village head.

He knew that in Sun Qimeng's memory, there was probably a memory of how to arrange the newcomers.

But Li Tian didn't plan to do anything to Sun Qimeng and probe his memory.

It's not because I can't deal with Sun Qimeng.

With Sun Qimeng's power to control a ghost, even if the ghost recovers, it will be suppressed by Li Tian's hand.

The reason why Li Tian didn't move him.

It is afraid of upsetting the balance of the village and causing unnecessary changes.

After all, Sun Qimeng has a special identity, he is the village chief of Huangshan Village, and if he moves, it may lead to other changes.

Anyway, Li Tian was not in such a hurry to know the situation.

Following the village chief's arrangement, Li Tian knew that he should soon be able to contact the secrets of the village.

There's no need to startle a snake.

"I see."

"Then Housheng, since you came to our Huangshan Village, you are destined for our village."

"Join our village, I can give you land and food, and ensure that you can stay away from the war and live happily and securely in the village."

Hearing Li Tian's words, Sun Qimeng nodded, and then began to solicit enthusiastically.

"Far from the war?"

Hearing what Sun Qimeng said, Li Tian's heart couldn't help but move, and he could see that the memory of this village seemed to be still immersed in the war years of the Republic of China decades ago.

This situation makes it understandable that the village chief, Sun Qimeng, gave a reason to stay away from the war to attract outsiders to join the village.

Li Tian thought for a while and said to Sun Qimeng:

"Village chief, in fact, I came to Huangshan Village to find people."

"In the village, is there a person named Chu Renmei?"

Li Tian began to probe Sun Qimeng.

He is really curious about whether the Huangshan Village in reality has anything to do with the Huangshan Village in the world of the horror film "The Old Corpse of the Mountain Village" in the horror space.

"Chu Renmei?"

When Sun Qimeng heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then showed a look of memory and thought, and shook his head for a long time:

"I don't remember that there was such a number one person in the village."

"Could it be that the young man is in the wrong place?"

"Didn't you?"

When Li Tian heard Sun Qimeng's return, a strange feeling rose in his heart.

There was some loss, and some relief.

The loss is because this village doesn't know Chu Renmei, which should have little to do with the horror movie "Old Corpse in the Mountain Village".

And relieved, also because it doesn't have much to do with it.

Li Tian's feeling is a little contradictory, as if he wants to have a relationship between reality and the world of horror films, but he doesn't want to really have a relationship.

Li Tian didn't know why he had such a contradictory feeling, probably because of his awe of the unknown.

Suddenly discovering the secret of the terrifying space, Li Tian was not mentally ready to accept it.

"How about it, young man, do you want to join the village?"

Sun Qimeng asked Li Tian again with a smile.

"What if I say I don't want to join?"

Li Tian glanced at the smiling smile on Sun Qimeng's face, and replied tentatively.

Hearing Li Tian's words, the smile on Sun Qimeng's face immediately retracted, and was replaced by a look of indifference, and his eyes looked at Li Tian with extremely cold eyes, as if he was looking at a dead man:

"If you don't join, please leave our village."

"We in Huangshan Village, outsiders are not welcome."

"This change of face is really like flipping through a book."

When Li Tian saw Sun Qimeng's reaction, he immediately complained a little.

This is so abnormal, even if ordinary people are unhappy in their hearts, they will behave well on their faces.

How can there be such an obvious and rapid contrast.

"Village chief, you misunderstood, I just said if, in fact, I still want to join."

Li Tian didn't care about Sun Qimeng's unkind words.

The people in this village, whether they are villagers or the village chief, are obviously controlled by the spirits, and their behavior is based on a set of rigid logic.

It's like...... The NPCs in the game are average, have no emotional intelligence, and just act according to the set instinctive rules.

"It's great to join."

"You are welcome to join, we will handle the ceremony for you to enter the village at that time, and after the ceremony, you will be a member of our Huangshan Village."

Hearing that Li Tian was going to join, Sun Qimeng came to Peking Opera and changed his face, and a fake smile appeared on his face for a moment, and he said enthusiastically to Li Tian.

“……”

Li Tian watched Sun Qimeng's textbook Peking Opera change his face, and he was a little speechless.

Although Sun Qimeng's face was a little stiff, the effect was the same.

"What is the entrance ceremony?"

Li Tian didn't bother with Sun Qimeng's face-changing trick anymore, he knew that this so-called 'village entry ceremony' might be the key to causing the villagers to be very weird.

"You'll know when the time comes."

Sun Qimeng didn't say much about the ceremony of entering the village, but said mysteriously:

"I'll arrange where you live first."

Between words.

A few villagers walked in 'just 'just 'right', and Sun Qimeng instructed these villagers:

"You two take this young man who is about to enter the village and find a place to settle down."

"Yes, village chief."

When several people heard this, they immediately responded to the order.

Li Tian looked at these people, they were all dressed in modern clothes, and they were obviously also missing people in Dasha City.

"Let's go."

Several people greeted Li Tian.

"Okay."

Li Tian looked at the villagers who came out by chance, and was arranged to settle Li Tian's villagers, thoughtfully.

If you refuse just now, it is not these villagers who will not settle down, but drive away...... Or killed?

Following a few villagers, Li Tian came to a dilapidated thatched house.

"You can choose to live here for the time being, and when you officially join the village, the house will be rearranged according to your ability."

Several villagers pointed to the dilapidated thatched hut and said to Li Tian, as if they were afraid that Li Tian would dislike the dilapidated thatched hut and have opinions in their hearts, and these people also specially explained:

"When everyone first enters the village, they start with a thatched hut, and it's all the same."

"Okay, I got it."

Li Tian looked at the thatched hut, but he didn't care about anything, he asked a few people:

"Just now the village chief said that if I want to enter the village, I need to go through the village entry ceremony, do the eldest brothers know what the village entry ceremony is?"

"When does it start?"

Li Tian began to test these people and villagers.

Li Tian could see that the level of these villagers who picked him up seemed to be higher than the villagers he met at the entrance of the village who were about to work in the fields.

The work is not the lowest level of manual work, but the transportation of people who have joined the village.

Maybe you'll know a little more.

"Entrance ceremony?"

After listening to Li Tian's inquiry, several people couldn't help but show a confused look on their faces, and they didn't seem to understand what the ceremony of entering the village was, but they still replied:

"We don't know what the entrance ceremony is, but the village chief said before that there will be an event tonight for the villagers to gather."

"Maybe it's what you call the entrance ceremony."

"We'll let you know in the evening."

"You'll be fine waiting for us at home."

"Alright."

"We have other things, so let's go first."

"Stay on your own."

After saying that, a few people didn't care about Li Tian anymore and left directly.

Li Tianmu sent these people away, but he didn't stop them, his eyes flickered, and he thought in his heart:

"Just now they said that the village chief said that there was an event in the evening?"

"Is this campaign aimed at me?"

"Judging from the current situation, the evening activity should be my entrance to the village."

"But it doesn't make sense."

"I just arrived in the village, and the village chief should have met me for the first time, how did he arrange the event in advance?"

"Did I predict in advance that I would come to the village, so the entrance ceremony was arranged in advance?"

Thinking about this, Li Tian was a little puzzled, and his brows furrowed:

"That's not right."

"If it was arranged in advance, then I refused to join the village, in this case, wouldn't the village's evening activities be in vain?"

Li Tian was a little puzzled.

"Wait."

Suddenly, Li Tian thought of a situation:

"Maybe my refusal doesn't make much difference to the village."

"Promise normally, village chief, the villagers will be friendly to you and proceed step by step."

"If you refuse, then I am afraid that another rule will be triggered, and the villagers and the village chief may forcibly detain people and forcibly hold the so-called entrance ceremony."

"In this way, it doesn't matter if the newcomers to the village refuse or not, and the activities will continue as usual."

"This is what I showed in the memories of those villagers at the entrance of the village - it is useless to escape, and in the end I can't leave the village, so I can only stay in the village honestly and live by the rules of the village."

"So, the head of this village must have known that I was coming here for a long time."

"How did he find out?"

"Psychic foresight?"

Li Tian guessed in his heart.

"No, it's supposed to be that carriage!"

Li Tian suddenly thought of the carriage that brought him over, and the carriage was running for a long time.

Perhaps, when he boarded the carriage, Huangshan Village knew that he was going to have a new villager.

Therefore, the villagers were informed in advance to gather and prepare for the event.

This scenario is quite likely.

That carriage must have some kind of connection with this village.

Otherwise, there is no way to explain why the carriage sent Li Tian here accurately.

"Looks like that's pretty much it."

"Since the disappearance of Dasha City, it was because I picked up a ticket for the ghost train."

"The ticket takes people into the carriage."

"The carriage brought people to Huangshan Village."

"Huangshan Village holds a ceremony for those who come to the village."

"If my guess is correct, this village entry ceremony must involve the supernatural situation of making those missing people return to reality and kill their relatives and friends."

"At the same time, it is also the source of the villagers' tampered memories."

At this moment, Li Tian completely corresponded to the current situation and clues in Dasha City, and connected them one by one.

Li Tian, who wanted to understand the current situation, walked into the thatched house arranged by the villagers for him.

As soon as he entered the thatched house, Li Tian smelled the smell of corpses.

Li Tian couldn't help frowning, and then looked around the room.

Finally, in a room where sundries were piled up in the thatched hut, Li Tian saw several corpses.

These corpses, all thin and thin, had frightened expressions on their faces.

However, the strange thing is that their thin bodies, although they seem to have been drained of their flesh and blood by something, are wet all over, as if they have been salvaged from the water.

"It seems that not all people in this village will be able to become villagers."

"Some of them are unlucky, and they may also die directly."

"Is it because it triggered the taboo in the village?"

Looking at the miserable appearance of this corpse, Li Tian shook his head and ignored it.

He stepped out of his dilapidated thatched hut and wandered around the village.

Wandering around the village, Li Tian also met some villagers.

Those villagers, one by one, stared at Li Tian covertly, and did not talk to Li Tian, it seemed that they were just monitoring and guarding Li Tian to prevent Li Tian from escaping.

However, it did not stop Li Tian from wandering.

Time passes.

Night falls.

Huangshan Village Ancestral Hall.

Li Tian was brought here by several villagers.

This is the place where the entrance ceremony of Huangshan Village is held.

The Huangshan Village, which is shrouded in the night, is particularly gloomy.

Above the sky, the stars were dim, and there were not even a single street lamp around the road.

When you get to the road, you need to move forward in the dark.

The only means of lighting are the torches and lanterns carried by the villagers.

At this time.

The ancestral hall is brightly lit.

Because the ancestral hall is surrounded by many villagers in Huangshan Village, everyone is holding a lantern or a torch in their hands to dispel the darkness around them.

"You're here, young man."

When the tall red-skinned man Sun Qimeng saw Li Tian, who was brought by several villagers, he immediately showed a weird smile and greeted him warmly.

"Village Chief."

Although Li Tian looked at the smile on Sun Qimeng's face and felt a little uncomfortable, he still suppressed the feeling in his heart and replied perfunctorily.

"Since you're here, come in with me."

Sun Qimeng did not be polite to Li Tianduo, and walked directly into the ancestral hall with Li Tian.

In the ancestral hall of Huangshan Village, in the middle of the position, there is a huge pyramid-shaped offering table with multiple compartments.

On the pyramid-shaped offering table, there are many spiritual seats, which are the tablets of the ancestors of Huangshan Village.

Li Tian just glanced at it and didn't care.

What he was concerned about was that in the ancestral hall, in addition to the pyramid offering table where the spiritual seat was placed in the middle, there were two other similar square offering tables on the left and right.

On the table, there are things that look like photo frames.

"These posthumous photos?"

Li Tian looked at those framed photos and stared.

I saw that the posthumous photos in those frames were all in black and white.

Not only that, Li Tian also saw a few familiar people on it.

Is that...... The appearance of the villagers of Huangshan Village.

In these posthumous photos, Li Tian met several people at the entrance of the village before seeing himself, and they were placed at the bottom.

Then there are the villagers who have arranged a place for themselves to live and led the way, and the number of floors on which their photos are placed is slightly higher than the lowest floor.

Further up, Li Tian also saw Sun Qimeng's posthumous photo.

"Have all the villagers' photos been placed here?"

"Rank your position by status?"

Li Tian observed the placement of the posthumous photo and guessed in his heart.

"So, the situation of the return of the dead soul in the outside world, the black and white supernatural that turns into the dead soul, is it because of the effect of these black and white photos?"

"Wait, on top of these photos, it seems that there is not only the owner of the photo, but there seems to be some vague shadows behind him?"

Suddenly, Li Tian discovered many different situations.

The posthumous photo is not very clear in the first place, and the background behind it is even more blurred.

Li Tian walked in a little and took a closer look.

When Li Tian took a closer look, he found that the blurred shadow behind the background on top of these posthumous photos seemed to be the appearance of a person.

These people are large and small, hidden behind the subject of the posthumous photo, and they are very unclear, if you don't pay attention, it is very likely to be ignored.

"It's ...... Portrait of the owner's family? ”

Li Tian looked closely, and he found that these vague figures seemed to be very similar to the family of the owner of those posthumous photos.

At this moment.

Li Tian suddenly understood why he wanted to kill his family and friends when the souls returned from outside Dasha City.

"People who were killed by the ghost slaves outside will also be shown in the photo."

"Let the owner of the posthumous photo, as well as his family and friends, be reunited in the posthumous photo?"

"This spirit is really terrifying."

Li Tian was a little awe-inspiring in his heart.

"Huh?"

Just when Li Tian was very close to the photo.

Li Tian suddenly made a new discovery.

I saw that the subject of the posthumous photo, the expression on his face, turned out to be dynamic.

The subject of the posthumous photo also seemed to have discovered that Li Tian was staring at him.

All of them had frightened eyes, and opened and closed their mouths at Li Tian, as if they wanted to say something, but they couldn't make any sound.

Even his head couldn't move, and his expression only changed slightly, which was very inconspicuous.

This is also the reason why Li Tian looked at it from a distance before, but he didn't find it at first.

"Don't look at it, come and worship, you'll have a picture here, too."

Just when Li Tian focused all his attention on those posthumous photos.

Sun Qimeng's voice suddenly sounded in Li Tian's ears, and the distance was very close.

This suddenly remembered voice made Li Tian startled and immediately turned around.

I didn't know when, Sun Qimeng was already only half a meter away from him, and at this time he was looking at himself with a smile on his face.

He obviously found out that Li Tian was observing the situation of the posthumous photo, but he didn't care, it seemed that Li Tian's actions were irrelevant to him and not a taboo.

said.

Sun Qimeng took out a black-and-white framed photo from his body.

Li Tian noticed that the black-and-white photo in this frame was blank.

Then, I saw Sun Qimeng take out a black-and-white framed photo and put it at the front of the room, on a table with tributes, white candles, and incense burners.

He pointed to the gray futon on the ground in front of the table, and said to Li Tian in a calm tone:

"If you want to join the village, you have to bow down sincerely on this futon in front of the photo."

"It's not finished until you look like you're in the photo."

"Let's get started."

As soon as Sun Qimeng's voice fell.

One by one, the villagers stared at Li Tian with their numb and gloomy eyes.

It seems that they are all waiting for Li Tian's action.

If Li Tian doesn't act, what awaits him is definitely the attack of these ghosts or ghost slaves.

At this moment.

The crisis in Huangshan Village has obviously been exhausted!

"Bow down to a photo and it will appear in a black and white photo?"

"It seems that the consciousness of those who disappeared in Dasha City and was dragged to the village should be held in this way to get into the photo."

Li Tian didn't care about the gloomy and numb eyes of those villagers looking at him.

He thought to himself.

The consciousness of these people imprisoned in the photo!

This is what Li Tian just discovered.

The portraits of those posthumous photos with frightened expressions on their faces just now, wanting to say something to themselves, are definitely not the products of the supernatural.

That kind of emotional appearance is not something that can be simulated by mechanical spirits.

"Consciousness is still there."

"The body is still intact, that is, these people seem to be saved."

Li Tian glanced around and stared at his villagers.

The bodies of these villagers are all intact, but they have been invaded by the supernatural.

If you can exorcise the spirits on these people, and then return the consciousness in the photo, it is likely that you can save these people.

"Get on your knees!"

Sun Qimeng scolded Li Tian.

"Get on your knees!"

"Get on your knees!"

Along with the words of the village chief Sun Qimeng, the surrounding villagers also echoed.

When Li Tian heard this, he couldn't help but look at the people around him who were staring at him, but he was still unmoved.

"Get on your knees!"

"Get on your knees!"

Sun Qimeng saw that Li Tian didn't cooperate, just scolded one after another, and with the sound of reprimands, his voice also began to change, from the original old man, to sharp and harsh, with a strange tone.

That's not all, I saw that his face, at some point, was covered with a black and white shadow.

As the black and white shadows appeared, scorching steam also emanated from Sun Qimeng's body, enveloping the surroundings.

At this moment, the supernatural began a riot.
