Seeing Shi Ling turn his head to look, Qin Zhen shifted his gaze and added: "Well... the air in the room was indeed a bit stuffy just now. It's much better after opening the window."

"It's the right thing to be bored."

Shi Ling explained gently, "The owner here deliberately closed the doors and windows tightly in order to allow the toxins in the air to accumulate."

"The air has been stagnant for a long time, coupled with the influence of the high concentration of toxins dispersed in it...it will naturally feel a bit dull."

"Toxin?" Qin Zhen never expected that there was such a danger hidden in the abandoned hut in front of him.

She glanced at the light purple flowers swaying on the window sill, "Is it... coming from this pot of flowers?"

"It should be right."

There was no incense in the room, and apart from the four of them, this pot of flowers was the only living thing.

In this way, the source of the toxin becomes obvious.

"This flower... was placed here by Mr. Lu?" Qin Zhen guessed, "In order to prevent someone from breaking in by mistake and causing the secrets here to be leaked... so everyone who enters this room must be Poison everyone to death?"

"It's not so...cruel, is it?"

Shi Ling shook his head, indicating that he was unclear.

Chi Yu pondered for a moment: "Maybe... that Mr. Lu doesn't know that this pot of green plant that looks gentle and harmless is actually a dangerous poisonous weed."

"How do you say it?" Qin Zhen asked curiously.

"The pastries on the table have traces of being tampered with." Chi Yu raised his chin and directed his companion's gaze to where the "evidence" was.

"The information obtained by Sister Meimei yesterday showed that Mr. Lu came here to worship the gods."

"Although some places do have the custom of sharing sacrifices, there is only one missing cake on each plate... If it was made by Mr. Lu, there is no need to do this, right?"

At Chi Yu's reminder, Qin Zhen noticed that each pastry was arranged three on the bottom and one on top. The bottom layer was originally arranged in a standard square shape, but now it has become an isosceles shape. triangle.

Did the guy who ate the sacrifices have some strange obsessive-compulsive disorder... Why did he have to take them from the bottom? Wouldn't it be better to just take away the top piece of pastry?

and many more……

Qin Zhen looked around and took in the neat and clean room without a trace of fireworks.

...Maybe...for that "person", this is not "stealing", but...

Enjoy the offerings?

"and……"

Chi Yu's next conjunction interrupted Qin Zhen's thoughts.

"And?" She answered subconsciously.

Chi Yu pursed his lower lip: "It's nothing."

And...according to her guess, Mr. Lu should be one of the two teachers in Shenyou Village School.

A person who still insists on teaching and educating people when the village may be destroyed at any time... Chi Yu does not believe that she will plant poisonous weeds, causing the tragic death of villagers who may accidentally enter this place.

However, this is her personal opinion after all, and there is no evidence to support it. It is better not to say it to disturb the judgment of her companions.

Qin Zhen didn't care about her cunning behavior of only half-talking, and walked around the hut with Shi Ling and Chu Musu.

Nothing unusual was found.

There was no trace of anyone staying here.

The whole house was like a lotus leaf washed by a heavy rain... it was too clean.

"It seems there are really no useful clues here." Shi Ling seemed a little regretful, "I can only pray that the other group can make some breakthroughs."

Seeing Qin Zhen nodding, he asked with a smile, "Then what should we do next? Go to the south to join the others? Or start today's exploration first?"

Qin Zhen thought for a while: "...it would be too time-consuming to meet up. It would be the same to discuss it later in the evening."

"I believe Heqing did the same thing. Maybe by the time we find them, they will have left." She added jokingly.

Makes sense.

Chi Yu nodded secretly and followed Qin Zhen and the others out of the room.

Shi Ling also closed all the doors and windows very politely. No matter from every aspect, the cabin in front of him was the same as before they came.

Qin Zhen just wanted to say goodbye to Chu Mu and Su, but he heard a faint noise coming from the distance.

The group of four people looked around and saw a dozen villagers gathering together, arguing anxiously.

Chi Yu and Qin Zhen looked at each other.

"...Go and have a look?" The latter instantly realized...this was probably a rare and special event.

Chi Yu and the other three agreed unanimously.

After getting close to a certain distance, the content of the villagers' argument was immediately transmitted to their ears.

"...Master Wu Zhu must be notified as soon as possible!" A young man in his early twenties said urgently.

The middle-aged man standing opposite him frowned: "But the question is, can you really be sure? Are you sure that this attack came from the north and not somewhere else?"

"I have seen those 'cocoons' with my own eyes, of course I can be sure!"

"But...it's not yet noon. Isn't it a little too early for the signs to appear?"

Faced with the man's questioning, the young man showed dissatisfaction: "What does this have to do with morning and evening?"

"Okay, okay, don't make any noise."

Someone stepped forward to smooth things over, "It's indeed a bit unusual for signs to appear so early... But I remember that there seemed to be similar situations in previous years?"

This sentence immediately caused the villagers to think.

As for the four Chi Yu people who were standing nearby and watching, two terms appeared in their minds at the same time.

Assault.

茧。

They kept silent in tacit agreement and carefully remembered every word the villagers said.

"I remembered!"

The young man who had smoothed things over suddenly said, "One time more than ten years ago, I discovered the existence of 'Cocoon' on the back mountain very early..."

"I was still young at that time, but I heard my parents mention it by chance... that time, it was not just one location that was attacked."

"Back Mountain..." Some villagers put on a thoughtful expression.

The young man who spoke first was slightly impatient: "No matter what, the emergence of 'Cocoon' is a fact that cannot be faked."

"Even if there are really going to be attacks from multiple directions, would Master Wu Zhu still be afraid of them?"

"...That's right."

Someone nodded in agreement, "Notifying Master Wu Zhu earlier will also give us more time to set up a defense line, lest the monsters really bloom more and cause us to be in chaos."

After this dispute, a group of people finally reached a consensus.

The young man who first discovered the "cocoon" said hello to the others and ran towards the center of the village, where Wu Zhu and the high priest were, in a hurry.

Qin Zhen weighed it for a moment and quickly made a decision: "You follow him, I'll go find He Qing and the others!"

Judging from the attitude of the villagers...it doesn't look like a small incident.

To be on the safe side, it's better to get everyone together.
