I'm pretending to be a boss in infinite games

Zhang Chi did not stay where he was, but trotted to the stone path around the village again, his eyes sized up the small village inch by inch, and his voice was faintly cool: "From yesterday to now, I have not I see a woman here."

It is impossible for a village to survive without women.There are only two reasons why they didn't show up, either they didn't want to show up, or others didn't let them show up.

Judging from the hidden defenses of the villagers against them, Zhang Chi was more inclined to the latter.

He walked towards the nearest house, and when he got closer, he discovered a small detail that he had overlooked before.

The windows of the house here are actually airtight, and it is not accurate to say that they are airtight, because the windows are blocked by nailed wooden boards, and there are several gaps between the boards, which are not completely closed.The wooden boards should be old, and there are not only traces of rain and wind on them, but also a lot of spider webs.

Zhang Chi wanted to go a little further, when he heard commotion behind him.He stopped in time, turned around with a natural expression, and saw the village head coming with a pair of shoes in his hand.

It was a pair of women's sneakers. Zhang Chi had a good memory, and recognized them at a glance as Ruan Shuyu's shoes. The sports brand logo on them was incompatible with this place.

Zhang Chi tensed his face subconsciously, looking very nervous, as if he was afraid of hearing bad news.

The village head walked towards this side with strides, standing still and speaking in a heavy tone: "We picked this up on the path into the mountain. Is it because the girl is going to watch the sunrise in the morning and got lost in the mountain?"

The reason seemed reasonable, Zhang Chi took the pair of shoes, the upper was clean, but the heel was covered with mud.

"There is a lot of fog in the mountains, so it's easy to get lost. People in our village don't go up the mountains, and there are wild animals in the mountains. I'm afraid it's more ominous." The voice of the village chief didn't hesitate at all, and he didn't feel that he was endangering a person's life. Death penalty notice.

Zhang Chi understood that he was not really helping to find someone, but wanted to give them a reason for Ruan Shuyu's disappearance so that they would not make trouble.

But Zhang Chi didn't look back at all, he stood there sullenly, and asked word by word: "Maybe it's because of the umbrella grave?"

The face of the village chief, who was planning a strategy just now, suddenly changed drastically. His eyes subconsciously looked at one place, and after recovering, he scolded: "What are you talking nonsense?" surrounded.

"Last night, we didn't sleep well. We always felt that someone was standing by the window. You know, the room we live in is on the second floor." He glanced slightly, and managed to see the panicked faces on the faces of several villagers. expression.

There is a play!

Zhang Chi continued on his own: "When we got up in the morning, we heard our companions say that we heard a voice calling the word umbrella grave at night, and then we found that someone was missing." He seemed to be belatedly asking questions , "Village Chief, can't it be that you have ghosts here?"

As soon as the word "ghost" came out, the people around subconsciously took a few steps back. It was sunny and bright, and some people were already shivering.

Qin Zhu stood beside him nonchalantly, with his eyes downcast, wondering what he was thinking.

Zhang Chi ended up with one sentence: "Could it be that she was captured by a ghost?"

This sentence made the already frightened villagers panic. Their eyes flickered, obviously knowing something.

The village chief scolded again: "What the hell! It's just that I got lost, and we will definitely find it!"

A discordant voice came out quietly: "But, Lu Da was just..." The person who spoke was glared at by the village chief, then closed his mouth and retracted his neck.

Zhang Chi had a great time watching this scene.With what the village chief said, he didn't have to worry about Ruan Shuyu's safety at all.

Under the gloomy eyes of the village chief, he and Qin Zhu went back to the homestay.Before entering the yard, Zhang Chi looked back at the way he came, and his voice seemed to be blown by the cold wind: "We didn't say who was missing at all, and how did they know that it was a little girl?"

Qin Zhu's voice was even colder, and he continued to analyze his words: "Because they knew who the missing person was early on."

From morning until now, the owner and his son were not in the B&B, and Father Lu never went in at all, so they shouldn't have known that Ruan Shuyu had disappeared.

Not only that, but Zhang Chi got a more important piece of information.That is, these seemingly inoffensive villagers are afraid of the word "umbrella grave" that they only know in the task prompt until now.

What is an umbrella grave?In fact, Zhang Chi knew it, and it had something to do with the place where he lived since he was a child.He was a left-behind child when he was a child, living in a small village in the countryside.Over there, it is very unlucky for a pregnant woman to die, so when she is buried with the fetus in her womb, an open umbrella will be placed in front of the grave.It is not only for the dead to shelter from the wind and rain to resolve their grievances, but also to remind passers-by to stay away from the graves where pregnant women are buried.

However, I don't know if the meaning of the umbrella grave here is consistent with his impression?Zhang Chi had an intuition that the ghost he stabbed on the first night had something to do with this umbrella grave. She had long hair and looked like a woman, but she appeared by the river. Logically speaking, if it was related to the umbrella grave, it should have appeared in the village, after all. According to his guess that the village head heard about the umbrella grave before, the umbrella grave is likely to be near the village.

Otherwise, they couldn't be so panicked.

I turned my mind a few times, but it didn't take a minute.Zhang Chi stepped into the courtyard and walked all the way to the lobby of the hotel.

Qian Xiong couldn't tell from his face what he encountered during this trip, but Liu Wanghai winked at him with a smile. Nodding at him from an angle that other people couldn't see, Zhang Chi understood, knowing that this was the beginning of what he told her to do.

"It's good that you come back safely." Qian Xiong said smoothly, and then asked tentatively, "Have you found Ruan Shuyu?"

Xu Tianyi immediately pricked up her ears, feeling a little apprehensive.

"No." Zhang Chi didn't say anything about finding the shoes. Seeing the disappointment on their faces, he just added, "Although I didn't find it, someone will bring her back soon."

Liu Wanghai laughed: "What? You convinced everyone here? Did they really listen to you and find someone?"

Zhang Chi glanced at him sideways, Liu Wanghai felt like his attack was hitting cotton, and his fleshy face flushed.If it was said that Liu Wanghai was moved by his appearance at the beginning, then after Zhang Chi broke away from his control again and again, only hatred remained.

Qian Xiong felt a little embarrassed being caught in the middle, but Ke Han still kept his head down, showing no sense of presence.

Zhang Chi didn't answer him any more, just as if he heard a dog barking.He glanced at the counter. From morning to now, the father and son who were supposed to stay in the hotel did not know where they went.
