As the leader, Jiao Chong'e gathered everyone in the yard.

“The village chief is dead, but before he died, he told us important clues.

Man-eating ghosts will not move during the day, so daytime is our best chance to find man-eating ghosts safely.

How to find the man-eating ghost? Tell us your opinions. "

The players present looked at each other in bewilderment. None of them had much experience, so naturally they didn't know how to find it at this time.

Chen Mu, who had the most experience, stood up at this time and said:

"The man-eating ghost has been rampant in the village for a long time. The villagers in the village should be very familiar with the man-eating ghost.

We should go to the villagers and ask for information. This is also where we are most likely to make a breakthrough."

Chen Mu's proposal was unanimously agreed upon by the players.

Before setting off, Chen Mu kindly reminded: "It's best for everyone to go in pairs, so that you can take care of each other if something goes wrong."

What Chen Mu meant was that the cannibal ghost's killing conditions might include "single-person action".

But Chen Mu couldn't say it directly, because if he encountered certain situations in the future, he would need a cannon fodder to die alone. If Chen Mu said it now, no one would be willing to go.

These players are relatively inexperienced and certainly haven’t realized one of the conditions for the cannibal to kill.

So Chen Mu just gave a reminder without specifying the reason.

As a teammate who has never met me before, it is very kind of me to do this.

Chen Mu and the bespectacled man Zhang Shu began to walk around the village.

Daohuaxiang Village is very large, with hundreds of villagers, and can be considered a large village.

However, due to the famine and the presence of cannibal monsters, the village's population has been reduced by half, and it seems that the population is a bit sparse.

Even so, it can be considered a paradise in times of famine.

The two were walking on the village road when an old lady carrying a basket passed by.

There are some wild vegetables in the basket.

Chen Mu smiled, came to the old lady, and asked in a gentle tone:

"Ma'am, can I ask you something?"

"What's up, young man? You look unfamiliar."

"We are the ghost hunters hired by the old village chief. We want to ask you about the man-eating ghost."

When she heard that it was a man-eating ghost, a look of horror immediately appeared on the old lady's face.

Obviously, the cannibal ghost left a psychological shadow of fear in the villagers. Even just mentioning it would make people's faces change drastically.

The old lady ignored Chen Mu and hurried away with a basket. She didn't dare to talk about this matter, for fear that it would implicate her.

Chen Mu shrugged helplessly and could only take Zhang Shu and continue walking towards the village.

Along the way, someone recognized Chen Mu and the other man.

Those who knew their identities pointed fingers at them.

However, when Chen Mu stepped forward to inquire, they all avoided him.

Until an old villager whispered to Chen Mu:

"Young man, we dare not tell you. Before, there was a ghost catcher who came to our place to catch ghosts, and those who told him about the situation died the next night.

Our old village chief doesn't believe in evil, so he asked you to catch ghosts. But on the first night, the old village chief was killed by the cannibal ghost.

So don’t blame us for not speaking out, we really don’t dare to speak out.”

After the old man finished speaking, he left in a hurry.

Zhang Shu was a little disappointed and couldn't help but sigh.

In contrast, Chen Mu was somewhat excited. The villagers just didn't dare to say it, which just showed that the villagers knew some information about the man-eating ghost!

As long as you find a breakthrough, you will definitely gain something today.

It was not even noon yet, but Chen Mu and his companions' stomachs began to growl.

Living in modern society, they have not experienced the days of extreme food scarcity.

I only drink some oil-free soup in the morning. Even if I don’t do any heavy work in the morning, my stomach will be churning with hunger before noon.

In comparison, the weird apocalypse is just dangerous, but there are industrial foods everywhere, so as long as you are brave, you will not starve to death. But I can't guarantee that here.

"Let's go back to the yard and find something to eat."

Chen Mu took Zhang Shu and walked back.

When the two arrived at the yard, the other four players were also waiting in the yard.

It seems that everyone is the same, and everyone is too hungry to bear it.

The boy in the young couple asked Jiao Chonge, "Brother Jiao, let's find a way to get something to eat."

Jiao Chong'e shrugged, "I would like to, but at a time like this, food is our lifeblood, and no villagers are willing to take us out for a meal."

"How about...we go steal something?" the boy couldn't help but say. He was really hungry.

Chen Mu just came back and said, "The villagers here are all related to each other. If you steal their food, you will probably be besieged by the villagers. In my opinion, we should go to the old man in the firewood room to check."

The boy hesitated and said, "The old man in the firewood room? He helped us once this morning, so he probably won't help us again. I think the villagers should provide food. After all, we are here to help them catch the devil... At least on the surface, we are helping them."

“Haha.” Chen Mu smiled and shook his head, “When you encounter difficulties, don’t look for people you have helped before, but look for people who have helped you before. This is human nature.

The old man in the firewood room helped us before, and he will probably help us again."

While everyone was discussing, the old man in the woodshed stood at the door and waved at them.

When everyone walked over, the old man said, "You didn't have lunch, did you? The old village chief is dead, so I will take care of your meals for the next few days.

There isn’t much, so I’ll just make do with what I have, and fill my stomach so I won’t starve to death.”

A pot of hot wild vegetable soup was already stewing in the big pot on the stove.

The players were deeply touched by the old man's kindness.

Everyone thanked him and started to eat voraciously at the old man's house.

After the meal, no one rested. The energy provided by a pot of hot soup was only enough for two or three hours.

If we didn't try harder to find clues, by four or five in the afternoon everyone would be too hungry to move.

Chen Mu and Zhang Shu continued to gather information from the villagers.

Unfortunately, the villagers were tight-lipped and no one was willing to risk their lives.

Chen Mu tried several times, but failed every time.

"I think we have to use some extraordinary measures." Chen Mu said in a low voice.

"Extraordinary measures? Are you planning to kidnap them? Aren't you afraid of being beaten up by the villagers?" Zhang Shu couldn't help but say.

"Who said it was kidnapping? I will find a way to make them tell me the clues willingly, and they will help me keep it secret." Chen Mu said confidently.

Zhang Shu was confused. He had already discovered that he could not compare with Brother Chen in understanding people's hearts.

But he still couldn't figure out what method Brother Chen used.

At this moment, the woman who had been following Jiao Chong'e suddenly came over jogging and shouting.

"Chen Mu, Zhang Shu, come here quickly! Something happened here!"

There was a hint of fear in her words, and her voice was trembling slightly.
