Some of them sounded like the low roars of zombies, but if you listen carefully, there seemed to be some voices mixed in. The voices were very soft and it was difficult to make out what was being said.

He held his breath and concentrated, trying to hear clearly what was being said below, but before he could listen further, he suddenly bumped into the back of Mo Yanshu in front of him.

He covered his nose which was hit and stuck his head out from behind Mo Yanshu.

They were less than one-third of the way to the foot of the mountain.

The sky darkened again, and a blood moon seemed to be looming in the east.

Mo Yanshu turned around and gently embraced him, then raised his right index finger to his lips and made a gesture to him to keep quiet.

Li Muchen nodded, imitated his movements, turned around and gestured to Liang Fengyuan.

The three of them hid in the bushes inside the path.

Li Muchen looked down.

It was already dark, and there were lights on in several places in the village, but for some reason, the lights looked dim and did not look like lamps, but rather like candlelight.

Li Muchen was even more confused. He leaned over to Mo Yanshu's ear and whispered, "Isn't there a power outage in H City?"

"Yeah." Mo Yanshu responded.

Suddenly, there were sounds of conversation coming from below.

"Have you found it? It's been almost half a month!"

"They are all children who grew up here! They kept talking about a secret base! I don't know where it is! Where can I find it?"

"They keep making trouble every other day. If they continue like this, something bad will happen."

"Is his aunt still okay?"

"Well, but I'm afraid that's going to change."

"Now we are not allowed to go out, what should we do?"

"Let's wait and see. I noticed that the couple at the west end of the village, Old Wang, haven't eaten anything for half a month, and it seems that there hasn't been any change."

"What should we do with those brats? Should we let the village chief take care of them?"

"Well, just tell the truth. Let's go quickly. We don't know when the old man from the Li family will come back. If he finds out, he will send them to the afterlife. We won't be able to see him again until our next life..."

The two people talked and walked further and further away.

What these two people said was so confusing that it was hard to understand.

But Li Muchen clearly heard the last sentence they were talking about the old man from the Li family.

There are not many families with the surname Li in this village, and even fewer who can be called old men. These words were said almost at their doorstep, and the only one who could have any connection with the salvation of souls should be his grandfather.

From what they said, his grandfather had most likely come back before, but was no longer at the old house.

Thinking of this, he felt a slight sense of loss in his heart, but because he had anticipated it, he didn't feel too bad.

The two men held lanterns, and the small orange-yellow dot soon disappeared into the distance.

Li Muchen raised his head and looked down. There should be no one down there. He muttered softly, "They seem to be looking for something, or someone? I heard them talking about a secret base. I do know a place..."

The evening breeze blew, and the weeds and leaves on both sides rustled.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but Li Muchen feels a little cold.

Mo Yanshu frowned, gently put his arm around Li Muchen's shoulders, and pulled him close to him.

"Yanshu, did you hear that? They seemed to be talking about my grandfather just now. And what did they mean that we have to wait until the next life to see him again... Did someone die in the village?"

Li Muchen murmured to himself, analyzing the situation.

Mo Yanshu did not reply, but instead lowered his eyes and looked down the mountain.

Li Muchen also looked down along with his gaze.

Most of the village was pitch black. With so many villagers, not a single household had a light on. There were even few places that lit candles. I didn't know what was going on.

"Something's wrong over there." Liang Fengyuan, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly spoke. While speaking, he took two steps forward and raised his hand to point to the west.

The moment Li Muchen looked in the direction of his finger, his eyes suddenly widened.

The blood moon had risen to mid-air at this time, but what surprised him was not the blood moon that he had almost gotten used to seeing, but the huge vortex emitting black and red light under the blood moon!

At this time, many dark shadows were flying and circling around the huge vortex.

He rubbed his eyes and looked there again.

At this time, the vortex disappeared again.

His eyes darkened slightly, and he turned to look at Liang Fengyuan and asked in a low voice: "Can you see that vortex?! Did you see that vortex just now?"

Liang Fengyuan's eyes flashed with confusion, and he asked puzzledly: "What vortex?"

Li Muchen felt a little disappointed after hearing this. At present, it seems that only he can see this thing...

He smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Nothing, what did you say was weird there?"

Mo Yanshu's eyes darkened, and when he heard Li Muchen say the word "vortex", his brows unconsciously frowned.

It seems necessary to investigate what this vortex he mentioned is...

At this time, Liang Fengyuan listened to Li Muchen's words, his eyes stern, and pointed at that place and continued: "The light is different. The two people who just passed by here and talked were holding candles, and the light was warm yellow. But the light over there is almost invisible, and it is cold white."

Liang Fengyuan's voice was not loud. Li Muchen stared in the direction he pointed for a while, and finally saw the cold white light he mentioned.

"There..." He squinted his eyes, trying to see more clearly, but the distance was too far and he could only see a rough idea.

After thinking for a moment, he suddenly raised his head: "That direction... should be the secret base... This is strange..."

"Secret base?" Mo Yanshu withdrew his distant gaze and spoke lightly.

"This is the place where we played together when we were kids. Even the adults don't know where it is. It doesn't make sense that there would be anyone there at this time..." Li Muchen hissed in confusion and muttered softly.

"How is the anti-theft security in your old house?" Mo Yanshu suddenly asked.

After hearing this, Li Muchen thought for a moment, then smiled and said proudly, "Of course, no other family can compare to this! Besides, the villagers are somewhat afraid of my grandfather, so generally no one would break into my house."

"Well, that's enough. Let's go first and tell you in detail at your house." Mo Yanshu made a prompt decision and stopped holding him. Instead, he took his hand and slowly groped his way down in the dark.

Liang Fengyuan, who was walking behind the two, fixed his eyes on their interlocked hands, his expression gloomy. After a long pause, he slowly raised his steps and caught up with the two people in front...
