Chapter 213: Entering the Bizarre Village

Zhou Chen led the group and gradually approached the village.

The village looked empty. The houses were slightly dilapidated, as if no one had lived in them for some time. Even the weeds on the road reached their ankles.

When Zhou Chen and the others were about ten meters away from the village entrance, a line of blood words appeared on the wall around the village.

“Everyone, choose a house to live in. You can return to the apartment after three days.”

“There’s actually a hint this time.”

Zhou Chen was surprised to see the blood notification on the wall, because he had never seen such a thoughtful notification before.

After some thought, he turned to look at the yellow-haired woman beside him.

“Can you see the blood words on the wall? Your mission is the same as ours?”

Because this person was not a resident of the apartment, Zhou Chen was curious if she could see the blood words.

“I can’t see your blood words.” However, the yellow-haired woman shook her head with a smile.

“However, the train has already informed me of my mission. My mission is to find ten evil entities in the Bizarre Village.”

She did not look like she found this mission difficult.

“Find ten evil entities?” Zhou Chen was surprised. He rubbed his nose.

‘There are so many evil entities in this village? Looks like I need to act carefully.’

Although Zhou Chen was not afraid of fighting the evil entities alone, if there were too many monsters, he had to plan before attacking. It was easy to suffer a loss if he acted rashly.

“Do you know what the Hell Theater’s mission is?” He asked.

“How would I know?” The yellow-haired woman said with a smile. “But according to my understanding, they definitely have to complete some shows.”

“The show won’t be pretending to be evil entities, right?” At this moment, He Jin pushed his glasses and interjected.

“That’s very possible!” Little Li immediately echoed. “All of them look like evil entities. Perhaps they can mingle with the evil entities.”

“Maybe… but I don’t think it’s that simple.” Zhou Chen nodded slightly. “Their strength is far weaker than the true evil entities. If they were the evil entities in this village, then this mission will not be challenging.”

Zhou Chen, who had fought with evil entities and observed these strange people, was very clear about the difference between these people and true evil entities. It was really like the difference between the mud and clouds. If they were really evil entities, then this mission would be very boring.

The few of them chatted as they walked into the entrance of the village. They followed the path and entered the village to choose their houses.

“I choose this house.” Zhou Chen found a house that looked to be in a good state. He opened the door and found that other than a little dust, there was quite a lot of furniture. He decided to stay in this house.

Little Li and the others followed Zhou Chen into the house. After a while, she suggested, “Brother Zhou, your house is huge. Why don’t we all stay together?”

“This won’t do. The mission requires everyone to stay in different houses. We can’t always be together. Otherwise, there’s no way to complete the mission and we won’t be able to return to the apartment in three days.” He Jin calmly reminded, interrupting some people’s thoughts of relying on Zhou Chen the entire time.

“Sigh, alright. I’ll stay next to Brother Zhou.” Little Li understood this logic. She immediately chose to stay in the house beside Zhou Chen’s.

“Up to you. Anyway, remember to lead the evil entities to me if you encounter them.”

Zhou Chen did not care about this. The reason he came here was to kill the evil entities and obtain rewards. As for finishing the mission or not, it depended on his mood. In any case, as a Survivor, he would definitely leave this world in a few days.

“Then I’ll stay opposite you so that I can identify the evil entities.” The yellow-haired woman pointed at the house opposite Zhou Chen’s and expressed that she wanted to occupy it.

“I’ll stay on the other side.” He Jin chose another nearby house.

“Hmm, there are no evil entities in here. Let’s go somewhere else to take a look.” Zhou Chen did not care about their arrangements and was only focused on searching for evil entities.

However, to his surprise, there was no trace of evil entities in the house he had chosen. Even the three houses the others had chosen had nothing abnormal.

“Great, looks like this mission is not difficult.” Little Li was the happiest about this outcome. As this was her first mission, the lower the difficulty of the mission, the more happy she was.

“No, it can’t be that simple. You must not be careless.” However, He Jin, who had passed five missions, ruthlessly splashed cold water on her head.

“From the missions I’ve passed and the experience I gained from some old residents, there has never been a simple mission. Evil entities will definitely appear in every mission and pose a threat to us. We have to be careful to seize that chance of survival.”

“Okay. Brother Jin, what do you think I should do?”

Little Li admired He Jin. He was not as strong as Zhou Chen, but he had successfully passed five blood missions. Although there was definitely some luck involved in this, his intelligence and effort could not be underestimated.

“Let’s follow the mission arrangements. We can be together during the day, but at night, we have to return to our houses, as if we are really living here. We have to be mentally prepared for any abnormalities. Don’t be too flustered when you encounter something. You have to carefully analyze and find a way to survive. If you really can’t think of a way, run or hide.” He Jin emphasized Little Li to be cowardly and not give the evil entities any chance to attack her.

“Don’t run around blindly. If you really encounter evil entities, lead them to me or call me out.” Zhou Chen made some modifications to He Jin’s suggestion. With him around, He Jin’s conservative strategy was not necessary.

While the few of them were chatting, many apartment residents had already come to the main path of the village to choose their accommodation. These people had basically chosen their houses to be near Zhou Chen’s group. No one chose to stay too far away from them.

After a while, the five strange people from the Hell Theater also came. They also chose houses to live in, but they were quite far from the others and were on the other side of the village.

At this moment, Uncle Wang and the other old residents were gathered together to discuss their countermeasures.

“Everyone, remember the area we are staying in. Don’t run around these few days. Just move around here. At the same time, you have to be careful of the direction where those five strange people are staying. I feel that there’s a problem with them. Try your best to avoid them.”

Uncle Wang was considered to be more experienced and prestigious among these people. The content of his speech was not much different from He Jin’s. He emphasized steadiness and wanted to pass the mission by being around Zhou Chen.

“Sigh, I have to spend three days in such a lousy village? It’s so boring.” The buzz-cut young man sighed as if he did not care about the danger.

“Boring? You won’t be bored when evil entities look for you.” Uncle Wang did not like this person’s attitude.

“Hehe, so be it. Who’s afraid of who? It’s best if a beautiful female ghost came to look for me.” The young man licked his lips, making Uncle Wang shake his head. The others also couldn’t help but laugh.

At the same time, on the other side of the village, the five people from the Hell Theater were discussing calmly.

The young man with the ordinary face and black claws said, “The script given by the theater this time is similar to the past. It wants us to act as evil entities.”

“Heh heh, let’s follow the usual strategy. There are many people from the Blood Letter Apartment over there. As long as we torment them to death, the acting score will not be low.” The middle-aged man with the sinister expression and swollen face chuckled.

“Blood Eye, don’t be like this. Your act of stupidity is disgusting.” The short man wearing the squirming bloody mask did not give a hoot about the middle-aged man.

“If you want to provoke that person, you can go alone. We won’t help you.”

“Moreover, the real difficulty in this act is to fool those real evil entities. Don’t you know that this is the key to whether we can survive?”

“That’s right. It’s easy to fool humans, but it’s difficult to fool evil entities.” The ordinary-looking black-clawed man nodded.

“Let’s go and prepare. It’s useless to gather like this.” With that said, he turned and left the house. The pale old woman who had been silent and the woman who was covered in black hair stood up and left, leaving the blood-eyed man and the masked man behind.

“How is it? Is our cooperation still continuing?” After the three of them left, the short masked man asked the blood-eyed man beside him in a soft voice.

“Cooperation, of course.” The blood-eyed man immediately replied with a smile.

“Same old plan. I’ll identify the real evil entities, and you’re in charge of luring them away.” There was a trace of ruthlessness in his blood-red eyes.

“I will make everyone in the Blood Letter Apartment lose their lives and make that person’s life a living hell.”

“Oh.” The masked man looked at the blood-eyed man, his eyes seemed to be smiling. “Then remember to give me a bottle of bizarre blood after this is over. If it’s fake, you know the consequences.”

The masked man was much shorter than the blood-eyed man, but his attitude was arrogant. Clearly, he did not take the blood-eyed man seriously.

“Don’t worry, it’s just a bottle of bizarre blood. I can afford it.” The blood-eyed man did not seem to care about the masked man’s attitude. He lowered his head slightly and smiled at him.

“Alright, see you tomorrow.” The masked man quickly left the house.

The first day in the Bizarre Village passed peacefully. Everyone had their own thoughts and plans. They quickly passed the first night and welcomed the first morning.

It was a bright morning. The gentle sunlight shone down, and with the presence of people, the bleak village seemed a little warmer.

Little Li woke up early and opened the door. She looked at the bright village outside with her large bloodshot eyes.

“It’s finally morning.”

She had not slept the entire night. Apart from the poor quality of the bed, it was also because she was very nervous due to this being her first blood mission. She was overly imagining things and could not sleep at all.

“Let’s meet up with Brother Zhou, Brother Jin, and the others. I’ll catch up on my sleep later.” She thought for a moment and walked out of the house.

Then, she realized something unusual. In the bright sunlight, there was no one moving in the village. All the other houses were closed, as if everyone was still sleeping.

“This… Am I the first to wake up?” Little Li immediately felt a chill in her heart, but she was not completely sure if this was an abnormality. Therefore, she summoned her courage and walked to Zhou Chen’s door.

“I will wake Brother Zhou up first. With Brother Zhou here, even if evil entities come, I will feel safe.”

She only wanted to see Zhou Chen now.

However, just as she walked to the door of Zhou Chen’s house and raised her hand to knock, she suddenly heard an unusual sound in the distance.

She shuddered and turned to look at the source of the sound.

The moment she looked, her mind froze.

At the end of the main path, she saw a woman with long black hair slowly walking towards her. Her speed was very stable, and she did not have the fluctuation of an ordinary person’s walking. She seemed to be floating on the ground.

“Ghost! A ghost is here!”

Little Li immediately realized that the ghost had found her. Although the other party’s appearance was very similar to one of the five people she had seen before, the feeling of floating was something she had not seen yesterday. Ordinary people could not do it, so the other party must be a ghost!

“Brother Zhou! Come out! There’s a ghost!” After determining that the ghost had arrived, Little Li knocked on Zhou Chen’s door heavily.

However, after knocking a few times, there was no movement in Zhou Chen’s house. Instead, the strange woman covered in long black hair kept approaching, making Little Li feel like her heart was about to jump out of her chest.

“Why isn’t Brother Zhou responding? No, I have to quickly hide.” In a moment of desperation, Little Li quickly ran back to her house and closed the door firmly.

It was not that she had not thought of escaping to the outside of the Bizarre Village, but He Jin had warned her not to leave this village unless it was absolutely necessary. Otherwise, violating the rules would cause immense danger.

After closing the door, Little Li leaned against the door and felt her rapidly beating heart.

She immediately checked the back door of the house. After confirming that the back door was also tightly closed, she turned to observe the outside through the gap in the door.

She was very uncomfortable doing this because she was not a brave person. Now, she took the initiative to observe the danger.

However, humans were like this. Sometimes, they could not control themselves at all, as if they were suppressing an uncontrollable urge to court death.

Little Li leaned her head close to the door and quickly saw that a young man was standing in front of her door. It was Zhou Chen.. He was quietly looking at the door with a strange smile.
