The little white dog suddenly fluttered when I approached the hole. It was also like this before we entered the town.

The woman with the lantern kept walking and I stepped out of the hole and looked at her feet. This scared me so much that I quickly withdrew my feet.

There is no road outside the cave, there is only a big deep pit. When the lantern woman walks on the deep pit, she is like floating in the air.

But if I look closely, I find that there is actually a rope under her feet, like a black wire, which perfectly blends with the environment. If I don’t look carefully, I can’t tell it.

The woman with a lantern is more stable than the acrobat walking a tightrope. Her hands are not changed, and she walks forward with the light, without any need to rely on her arms to maintain balance.

The woman walked up to the deep pit and stopped about the middle position. After stopping, she suddenly turned sideways and jumped off the rope.

There was fog in the pit and it was impossible to see the bottom. She jumped down without any sound of falling to the ground. I also jumped, where she had just stopped.

There was a platform in the fog. When the lantern woman waited for me to land on the platform, she continued to jump down. I followed her to jump to the nine-level platform, and after jumping three times, I passed through the 'fog' area.

There was no fog blocking it, and the sound below came clearly, like singing and chanting.

The woman with a lantern stands on the last platform, with a building underneath, and the platform is on the roof of the building. This is interesting because there is no platform between the roof and the ground, and there are no ladders or steps.

Maybe the ladder is inside the building?

This building is not like it is for people to live in. The singing is concentrated on the front of the building and the open space outside the gate.

The lantern woman didn't seem to be planning to jump onto the roof. She stood in the corner of the last platform, like a bystander. Although her long hair covered her face and I couldn't see her eyes, I believe she had her own way to "observe" the world.

I walked to the side of the platform, near the edge of the roof of the building, and took another step forward to step onto the roof.

It is particularly clear to see the open space in front of the building at this location. There are many people gathered on the open space, including men, women, young and old. They stand in rows, and the line extends out, without a glance.

In the second row of the team, I saw a familiar face, the owner who rented it to our room. Like everyone else, he closed his eyes tightly, crossed his hands, raised his palms upwards, raised it flat in front of his chest, and sang in a low voice.

This is true for everyone, they were too devoted to not notice anyone breaking into this 'party' at all.

Of course the lantern woman and I were very light, and they almost didn't make much noise, at least not exceeding the volume of their singing.

The Taoist priest in the black robe said that there were ghosts in the town and asked me to kill ghosts to save people. I looked at these people who were addicted to singing. The residents of the town should be here, including the babies in the swagger. They were surprisingly quiet and none of them cried.

At the entrance of the building, there was a coffin, which looked quite fresh, and the smell of the new paint had not yet dissipated.

Today, people are going to die in the town. We heard about it when we set out in the morning. I didn’t find it strange that there is a coffin. The residents in the town may have unique funeral customs and must call all residents to come down to the ground to hold a funeral and send the dead on their last journey.

But there is a cradle next to the coffin, which is very strange. The coffin and the cradle are lined up side by side, and the cradle is empty.

I thought to myself, could Wang Ye and the others guessed that the residents here really have the custom of sacrificing/evil/god?

If an adult dies, you need to find a baby to bury him?

As for the pictures I saw, I thought the baby in the cradle might have been put in the coffin, but it is not ruled out that the person who died today was the baby.

We don’t know if they want to sing this song that looks like a song and a scripture all night, but it will be dawn in a while.

The Taoist priest from the black robe sent me a big sword to catch ghosts, but I didn't even see a ghost. For the time being, I didn't see any danger to the residents of the town.

I looked back at the lantern woman, hoping that she would give her a reminder that she seemed very familiar with this and should know something.

The little white dog is not fluttering now. Its whole body is stiff and it is more scared than just now.

The thing that made it fear and alert was here. I wanted to jump off the roof quietly and take a look inside the building.

At this time, something "floated" out of the building gate, swaying white and full of hair, like the lion-head prop used by Wu Lion's performance.

It's just that he has a head but has no body, and it doesn't look cute, but looks like a ghost head.

This thing floated out of the gate, and it was probably the "ghost" mentioned by the black-robed Taoist priest.

I lifted the great sword and saw what it was going to do. If it hurts those residents, I went up and filmed it.

The white lion's head floated above the coffin, swaying east and west, the coffin lid was not nailed to death, the lion's head opened its bloody mouth, and with a sudden suck, the lion's head was sucked up, and the lion's head was slapped without hands and feet, and he took a bloody mouth as his hand.

The lion's head was placed aside, and it did these things calmly, but it was like a steady person doing what he used to do.

There was a corpse in the coffin, but only one, and it was an adult, without a baby.

The chanting of the town residents never stopped, and the white lion's head swallowed the dead man in the coffin under the accompaniment of this bgm.

The coffin is a corpse. Is it considered hurting people?

I held the sword, hesitated for a moment, and did not take any steps.

As soon as the body was swallowed by it, I was too late to stop it in the blink of an eye.

Secondly, no one among the residents protested, they acquiesced to such behavior, and I even suspected that this was their usual "funeral ceremony".

If I show up and interrupt the ceremony, the residents will not only not be grateful to me, but may also drive me out immediately.

The woman with the lantern didn't give me any tips, and stood in a corner of the platform like a lamp post.

At this time, the white lion's head had already spit out the body of the deceased. It had no body. I still wondered what it used to digest the corpse. It turned out that it was just "tasting" and did not swallow it.

However, the body was spit into the cradle next to the coffin. The cradle was not half as long as the coffin, and it was pretending to be a new spitting...the living thing was just right.

I'm sure it was a dead person who had just eaten it, and what it was spitting out was a living thing.

But that thing is definitely not a human baby, it looks weird. I recalled it and suddenly remembered what it looks like. It looks particularly like a white carrot spirit!

The white carrot with two legs and four arms is similar in size to a human baby, and is so white that it shines in eyes, as if soaked in bleaching fluorescent agent.

Even if such creatures are placed in the cradle, they cannot be taken out for raising them. Although there are few outsiders in the town, they are not completely closed places.

I looked at the "babies" who were held in their arms by women and did not cry or make a fuss. Due to distance, I couldn't see their faces. After seeing the white carrot spirit in the cradle, I suddenly felt that they were suspicious.

An old man standing in the middle of the first row suddenly opened his eyes. I was shocked and thought he had discovered me, so he took two steps back to the back of the platform.
