Chapter 365: New Year's Eve

The gloomy and dilapidated village looked extremely scary under the shroud of darkness. The cold wind blew through and a numbing coldness came from inside the village.

Looking at the broken gate in front of them and the dilapidated thatched house further away, these people felt that there was something quite terrifying hidden inside. As long as they dared to take a step inside, they would be completely devoured.

"Brother Shan, why don't we use things to explore the way first?"

The boys were still scared at this time. One of them, a thin-looking man, swallowed his saliva and looked at the leader, Brother Shan, who cautiously made such a suggestion.

"Lao Liu, bring this thing in and have a look!"

Brother Shan immediately laughed when he heard what the skinny man said, then took out a talisman and explained it to a timid-looking man.

"Shan, Shan, Brother Shan, isn't this, this scary!"

"O-Old Liu, I've always been clumsy. I'm afraid, I'm afraid I'll mess things up if I'm not careful!"

Old Liu felt numb when he saw the Fu Lu handed over to him, but faced with Brother Shan's deathly gray eyes and the threatening glances of others around him, he could not refuse clearly.

"Don't be afraid, this talisman is a good thing that I exchanged before I came here. Even if I encounter Li Wei, I can eat it in one bite!"

Brother Shan squeezed his trembling shoulders a little harder, and immediately Lao Liu felt a cold feeling spread from his shoulders to his whole body.

He knew that if he refused again, his life might be in danger, so he could only squeeze out a smile very stiffly, and then took the talisman from Brother Shan.

"Then, Brother Shan, I'll go right away. If, if something happens to me, I hope Brother Shan can take care of my silly son!"

"Don't worry, this talisman will guarantee that nothing will happen to you!"

Old Liu held the talisman tightly in his hand and then walked into Qingshi Village under everyone's gaze.

As he stepped into the dilapidated village gate, everything seemed quite normal. People outside could even see Lao Liu's worried and hesitant movements.

However, as he gradually walked towards the inside of the village, his figure soon began to become blurry. Due to the darkness, it was no longer possible for people outside to see clearly what was going on inside.

Suddenly they seemed to see a ball of fire burning in the village, but soon the fire disappeared. Everything in the village became what it was before, and no movement was seen anymore.

Such a strange scene made the people outside take a few steps back for a moment, but suddenly they saw a light lighting up in one of the huts.

Through the faint light, they could vaguely see a figure in the hut, and he seemed to be waving to them, as if to let them pass.

"Old Liu?"

"No! Something must have happened to Lao Liu!"

"With his courage, he would never dare to enter the house!"

"Hey~ Brother Shan, this village is evil!"

"Brother Shan, this village is definitely not something we can handle. We should go back to Guilou first!"

Several subordinates broke out in cold sweat when they saw this scene. They didn't know what happened to Old Liu, but they were able to kill him quietly, and even the talisman had no effect. You can imagine how dangerous this village is. .

"Leave? Who can walk out now?"

Suddenly Brother Shan's stiff face suddenly changed and he said something that made everyone shudder.

Then they suddenly realized that they had entered the village without knowing it, surrounded by shabby thatched houses.

Every door and window was dark, and no one knew what was hidden inside the house.

"Brother Shan, what's going on?"

"Old Liu!"

"Crunch~Crunch~"

However, before they could react, they suddenly saw a ray of light coming from a certain house, and then a figure appeared at the door of the house and looked at them with a stiff smile.

The few people who saw this figure felt that their scalps were going to explode instantly, because this person was Lao Liu who had just disappeared.

"After dark, the soul comes back to life, and we keep vigil around the fire~"

At this time, Lao Liu stared at them quietly and just said this sentence, and then those people walked uncontrollably towards several other dark thatched houses.

"There is a trick! There is a trick!"

"Hurry, run, run!"

"Brother Shan harmed me! Brother Shan harmed me!"

However, their consciousness at this time was still extremely clear, but they just didn't know why they couldn't control their legs. No matter how they struggled and shouted, it was to no avail.

But when they turned their heads, they discovered that Brother Shan, whom they had always regarded as their backer, was still standing there watching all this happen with cold eyes.

Soon all these people walked into the thatched houses, and then the lights in these houses lit up one after another. It seemed that this abandoned village seemed to have more vitality.

"Finally enough!"

At this time, Brother Shan, who was still there, finally showed a smile of joy. He had been planning since he discovered the secret here.

Now it’s finally done! As long as he can take away the fire, he will definitely be able to climb to the higher level of the mysterious building!

No, it should be said that it is not impossible to completely master that mysterious building!

"Hoo~"

Soon the lights lit up one after another in the houses in the village, and after a while the whole village seemed to come alive.

People began to appear at the door or window of each house. It was obvious that many people had come here and been killed before.

"Returning souls at night, guarding the night around the fire~"

Accompanying the appearance of these figures were words that kept echoing, which sounded like a warning to the world to keep watch at night.

As these words kept echoing, the whole village began to undergo some indescribable changes.

The surrounding illusions rose up and all kinds of lively scenes in the village quickly emerged, but everything disappeared in the blink of an eye, turning into various tragic situations, and finally the whole village became the dilapidated scene it is now.

"Boom!"

As all the illusions disappeared, a dark red flame appeared out of thin air above the village. The mountain brother was overjoyed when he saw this, and then immediately stretched out a wrinkled withered hand to grab the flame.

"Hahaha, this strange fire is mine!"

Seeing that he was about to get this strange fire, Huoshan brother could no longer suppress his excitement, and the next moment he successfully grabbed the strange fire in his hand.

This strange fire was dark red in color and looked rootless and sourceless, giving people an inexplicable sense of horror.

But at this moment, Shan Ge only felt that he had accomplished his mission. Next, as long as he could integrate this strange fire into his body, he would be able to surpass everyone else!

However, the strange fire, which had not yet fluctuated, suddenly expanded and engulfed Shan Ge in an instant. Shan Ge did not even have time to scream before he became a torch.

Soon all the strange fires disappeared, and Shan Ge, who was burned by the strange fire, survived, but at this time his eyes were dark red, and his whole aura had been completely changed.

"Returning to the soul at night~ Guarding the night around the fire~"

"Guarding the New Year is ruthless~ The end is coming~"

At this time, such words were shouted again in the houses in the village, announcing that the former guarding the New Year had returned to the world again.
