At night, the already deserted village became even more suffocatingly quiet.

Occasionally, a gust of wind blows, which makes people who are fascinated by the sand and rocks unable to open their eyes. After the wind passes, the inexplicable quiet atmosphere returns again.

There was silence in the dark night, the moon was shrouded by dark clouds, the white fog in the mountains gradually spread to the foot of the mountain, and a vague white fog also appeared near the village.

Ling Yun was bored and squatting at the door, holding his knees, fidgeting with the branches in his hands and scribbling on the ground.

Not far away, Ren Yao was leaning against the outer wall of the courtyard with his arms folded, and there was silence between the two of them. It had been nearly an hour since they came back in this state.

During this period, Ling Yun tried to talk to Ren Yao, but no matter what he said, he was ignored by the other party.

Ling Yun was not angry either. In his eyes, Ren Yao was just a child with an awkward personality. Although he was not gregarious, he could just slowly correct himself and guide him.

Thinking of this, Ling Yun stood up, spread out his arms and stretched. He rubbed his sore shoulders, glanced at Ren Yao's right hand wrapped in gauze, and said, "Are you hungry? Why don't you go in first?"

Want to eat something? I'm watching over here."

"You two come together, Fatty and I are here to change shifts." Lin Yuanqi's voice came from behind. Ling Yun turned around to say hello to the two of them, and asked about Shen Tinglan's condition.

"Su Li said he would wake up soon." Zhao Sicheng held a cigarette in his mouth and polished his lighter. After blowing out a smoke ring, he made a strange click: "When did it get foggy outside?"

"It's just getting dark. But the fog seems to be thicker than before, right?"

Ling Yun looked sideways at Ren Yao, who nodded slightly.

The thick fog in the village became thicker and thicker. At first, Ling Yun could still clearly see the scene near the dirt road outside the yard. But as time went by, the visibility became lower and lower. Just as they were talking, the fog seemed to return.

It's a lot thicker.

The temperature in the village during the day and night is completely two extremes. After night falls, the village wrapped in mountain fog becomes damp and cold, and a lot of dewdrops condense on the leaves and windows.

Lin Yuanqi sneezed and wrapped his coat tighter.

He rubbed his nose and said to his companions: "I always feel something is not right. Those ghouls during the day were not the culprits that caused the disappearance of the villagers. So what happened here before that? Why did an ancient man in the mountains

Will there be so many cursed objects in the village?"

Since it was still unclear whether the mist was just a natural phenomenon in the fantasy realm, or whether it was related to other cursed spirits or the enemy's abilities, to be on the safe side, Ling Yun and others set up traps around the yard. Zhao Sicheng even posted a soul-suppressing talisman to prevent outsiders.

Something else is intruding.

Since there was no electricity in the village, Lin Yuanqi and Zhao Sicheng had collected some firewood for heating and lighting. As soon as the four of them entered the hall, they smelled the fragrant fragrance.

While Ling Yun and others were setting up traps, Tang Yao and Su Li were not idle either.

The two simply tidied up the kitchen, and now Tang Yao was guarding the fire, busy cooking the instant vegetable porridge in her backpack.

"Wow, Miss Tang Yao, you are so ingenious!" Zhao Sicheng touched his stomach that was already growling and swallowed.

"Dinner will be ready soon, wait a moment. It's cold outside, you can come over and warm up by the fire." Tang Yao squatted behind the stove, kept adding dry firewood, and waved to everyone.

"Hehe, that's what I meant." Lin Yuanqi stepped forward quickly, squatted beside Tang Yao without saying a word, and started to help her diligently.

After Tang Yao raised her head and saw Ling Yun, she immediately smiled and said: "Brother Ling, you came back just in time. Brother Shen has just woken up, and Sister Su is taking care of him in the house!"

"Really? That's great." Ling Yun let out a long sigh, suddenly thought of something, then walked to Tang Yao, leaned over, and whispered something in her ear.

"Okay...I understand."

Tang Yao glanced at Ling Yun's side face, then suddenly lowered her head, suppressing the smile on her face, showing a little inexplicable restraint. Then her cheeks suddenly turned red. Fortunately, the orange firelight under the stove shone on her face.

At first glance, there is nothing unusual about it.

"Then please. I'll go in and see Brother Shen first. If you need anything, call me anytime." Ling Yun stood up and looked at the porridge rolling in the pot, and couldn't help but rub his growling stomach: "I'm really hungry.

Already."

"Well, go ahead! The porridge will be ready soon, no need for help." Tang Yao watched the other party enter the house, her originally white face like a ripe persimmon.

Lin Yuanqi and Zhao Sicheng exchanged glances with each other. They looked like they "understood everything" and smiled without saying anything.

Ren Yao seemed a little uncomfortable with being around so many people during the mission. He hesitated for two seconds, glanced at Tang Yao and others, and finally quickened his pace and followed Ling Yun into the house.

After Shen Tinglan drank the hot water, he immediately felt much better. He thanked Su Li beside him, who responded lightly and put the bowl on the bedside.

"I didn't expect your mind to be so firm. If you were an ordinary person, you really wouldn't be able to withstand Alessa's intrusion."

Su Li looked at Shen Tinglan, and a faint blue light lit up in his eyes: "But I have to warn you, your power is not stable yet. Before it is fully absorbed, if you overuse your powers, besides yourself, you will also

Putting others in harm’s way.”

The reason why Ling Yun was so afraid of Su Li before was precisely because she possessed a unique talent skill in the space, mind mimicry.

Shen Tinglan knew very well that Su Li must have "saw" something that was about to happen, so he specifically spoke to remind him.

Although Alessa's evil power usually remains dormant in her body, like a newly tamed wild horse, she occasionally becomes disobedient: when she unleashes her abilities to the extreme, loopholes will still be exploited.

probability.

Just like this morning, when I finally strangled the ghoul, facing such a bloody scene, I felt an indescribable excitement and pleasure in my heart, and I had more thoughts of killing.

Although he successfully regained his power in the end, now that he heard Su Li's words, he remembered the strangeness during the day. Shen Tinglan responded cautiously: "Thank you, I will pay attention to it."

"Brother Shen, how do you feel? Are you feeling well?"

Ling Yun walked into the room and saw Shen Tinglan about to get out of bed, so he immediately stepped forward to stop him: "You are still very weak, why don't you take a rest."

"Why are you like my mother?"

Shen Tinglan smiled, waved her hand, and said to him: "Don't worry, I'm fine now. I've slept all afternoon, and it's time to get up and move around. By the way, is there anything going on outside?"

Ling Yun saw that he was indeed fine, so he felt relieved and recounted the foggy incident outside the village.

Tang Yao cooked the porridge, and during dinner, everyone gathered in the house, discussing the next countermeasures while eating.

"Here, this is yours." Tang Yao handed the filled porridge to Ren Yao. When the other person took the bowl, she grabbed Ren Yao's hand.

A soft green light lit up in the palms of the two men. Ren Yao lowered his head and realized that the wound on his hand had been healed by Tang Yao.

"Now you are also a member of the team. If you are injured, you must tell me."

Tang Yao could tell that Ling Yun attached great importance to the young man in front of him. Since he was someone that Brother Ling valued, he should also open his heart and accept him.

Ren Yao was slightly startled at first, and suddenly thought of the scene where Ling Yun had whispered to Tang Yao just now, and then he realized that it was that guy who asked Tang Yao to treat him.

"……Thanks."

Ren Yao spoke awkwardly, his voice as light as a mosquito. He dropped out of school early and rarely talked to a gentle elder sister like Tang Yao.

For Ren Yao, who is used to moving alone, these injuries themselves are nothing, and he does not even need to use healing items. It is just that in order to avoid the ghouls during the daytime battle, he accidentally rubbed the ground and was hit by the broken pieces on the ground.

The stone is just scratched.

He has never needed teammates, and due to his own personality, people around him either talk about him behind his back or stay away from him.

Ren Yao never cares about other people's eyes and attitudes towards him. Anyway, he has long been accustomed to a world of one person.

He could face the cold looks and curses from others without any trouble, but when kindness fell on him without any warning, Ren Yao suddenly panicked.
