Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The villagers believed in witchcraft. The witches begged the heavens for mercy and a savior to come and bless them. Coincidentally, on the night of the prayer, a shooting star descended from the sky. The next day, an outsider came to Feng Tong Village.
This self-proclaimed god used his divine power to cure the plague in Feng Tong Village. From then on, he was enthusiastically worshipped by everyone in Feng Tong Village as their only god. He became the Evil Deity.
However, the Evil Deity in the mural always had a fake smile on his face. The bright red ink outlined his mouth and eyes, making him look like a ferocious ghost. It gave people a subconscious feeling that he was not a good being.
As everyone walked forward, Quan Jue, who was leading the way, kicked against a round object.
Quan Jue shone his torchlight on it and watched as a round skull rolled on the ground.
The expressions on everyone’s faces changed at the same time. The light in their hands continued to shine forward, and they were unsurprised to see a pile of corpses lying not far away.
Those people had been dead for a long time. Their skin and flesh had been eaten clean by the rats. At that moment, some of the rats were nesting amongst the bones. Startled by the intense lights, the rats scurried back and forth among the skeletons, before scattering in all directions.
Everything happened extremely quickly. The sight of the rats and pile of bones on the ground had a major effect on everyone. Their faces all turned grim.
After the rats fled in all directions, the crowd finally stepped forward to examine the corpses more closely.
Huo Chen was very experienced. After looking at the weathered marks on the white bones, he remarked, “According to the state of decay of these corpses, they have been dead for at least 20 years. Otherwise, the bones wouldn’t have been weathered to this extent.”
“Also, look at their clothes. Most of them are dressed in the same style. They’re also holding weapons in their hands. They seem to have died during a fight.” Pei Yao was calm as she analyzed the corpses in front of her.
“I think these people died from the miasma. The miasma can give people hallucinations. It’s highly likely that they mistook their companions for enemies and killed each other. They all died here.” Quan Jue also gave his deductions calmly.
Seeing his steady composure, Huo Chen couldn’t help asking, “Young Master Quan doesn’t seem to be afraid of corpses. You look so calm. Have you witnessed such terrifying scenes before?”
Quan Jue remained expressionless, not looking at all flustered by Huo Chen’s question. “Officer Huo, you’re flattering me. I just think that the dead are already dead. In that case, there’s nothing to be afraid of.”
“Young Master Quan’s perspective is really unique. This is the first time I’ve heard of such reasoning. Thank you for the insight.” The smile on Huo Chen’s face deepened. He carefully observed the corpses and confirmed Quan Jue’s earlier conjecture.
“So, this is really the Evil Deity’s place.” Pei Yao sighed.. “Jiaojiao, you’re so amazing! You actually found it so quickly.”
