Chapter 93

Yang Jian stared intently at the screen of his phone.

At this moment, an email appeared on the screen, displaying a special set of documents.

The file was about the paranormal incident in Huanggang Village, Dachang City.

As he continued to scroll down, the document began to show some relevant information:

In a certain year and month... a paranormal incident suddenly occurred in Huanggang Village, Dachang City, and the entire village disappeared overnight.

Below was a satellite image.

On the satellite image, all the buildings in the village, along with the villagers, even the chickens, ducks, and dogs, had vanished, leaving the surroundings completely empty.

It was as if a hand-drawn map had been erased with correction fluid.

All that remained was a blank space.

No, not everything was gone.

In the center of the village, something inexplicable had appeared.

A coffin.

The image was very clear, and Yang Jian could even see the shape, color, and some fine details of the coffin.

This coffin was identical to the one in the previous memorial hall.

The only difference was that the coffin in the center of the village in the picture was... open, and there was a blurry figure standing beside it.

It was unclear.

It seemed to be interfered with by some force, even the most advanced satellite couldn't capture it clearly.

However, as he continued to scroll down.

Three days after the paranormal incident in Huanggang Village, the village, which had mysteriously disappeared, reappeared, but the villagers did not return... the entire village became an empty ghost village overnight.

The incident had a significant impact, and Detective Feng Quan from Dachang City was responsible for the investigation.

The Detective Feng Quan mentioned in the document should be Zhou Zheng's predecessor.

On a certain day and month at 12:50 PM: Detective Feng Quan arrived at Huanggang Village.

At 1:15 PM, Feng Quan officially entered Huanggang Village.

The action report ended here, followed by a segment of dialogue.

"All villagers have disappeared, possibly killed by a malevolent ghost."

"Out of caution, I did not stay in the village for long."

"I saw the coffin, which was open... the figure beside the coffin in the satellite image was confirmed to be absent. I judged the figure to be a malevolent ghost, with an unknown level of danger."

"Nothing seemed to happen today, so I decided to take the risk and stay in Huanggang Village for a day to determine if the malevolent ghost was still in the village."

"Tonight, I heard footsteps outside..."

"The malevolent ghost appeared."

"My situation is very dire, this village is very strange and unusual, I fear I won't be able to leave. I suggest the entire village be sealed off."

"I have done everything I can, do not touch the coffin, the coffin..."

The scattered report contained only a few sentences.

However, from this simple dialogue, it was clear that Detective Feng Quan had likely died in Huanggang Village and did not leave alive.

Moreover, some of the dialogue had been deliberately edited, omitting many clues.

These clues were extremely important.

"Once, the entire Huanggang Village disappeared from the world overnight. Although it reappeared later, is the village that reappeared the same as the original one?"

Yang Jian clenched his fists tightly. "If not, then what are the villagers in this village now?"

Looking at the busy villagers in the memorial hall and the old men chatting in the alley, everything seemed normal.

Except for the malevolent ghost wandering in the village, there was nothing special.

"Since the villagers no longer exist, could the villagers in front of me all be... ghosts?"

The realization sent a chill down his spine.

He stared at a woman washing clothes in front of a door, who gave him a polite smile.

He could not sense the characteristics of a malevolent ghost from these villagers.

"No, it's impossible, this guess is wrong. The villagers can't all be ghosts because there can't be that many ghosts here, and they show no signs of being controlled by a malevolent ghost."

Yang Jian dismissed this terrifying guess.

He had seen people controlled by ghosts, and they had a strange and peculiar quality, different from normal people.

But these villagers did not have that feeling.

However... if these villagers were not ghosts, how could they have lived here for so long without being attacked by the malevolent ghost?

What made them unaware that all the villagers in Huanggang Village had mysteriously disappeared with the first paranormal incident?

And what did Feng Quan mean by "don't touch the coffin"? What would happen if it was touched?

"Other things can be ignored for now, the most urgent task is to seal the ghost in the coffin, which is a confirmed fact. But I can't be sure if there is only one ghost in the village... the sick ghost that coughs and the ghost that killed He Sheng and Ouyang Tian are different. If my guess is correct, where is the second ghost?"

Yang Jian was hesitant to act.

He vaguely felt that there was a deep connection between the two ghosts.

One ghost was extremely fierce, capable of killing even a ghost controller.

The other ghost was not vicious, and seemed to intentionally gather the ghost controllers, as if... trying to prevent them from being killed individually.

If this was the case.

The ghost that should be sealed first is the fierce ghost that killed the two ghost controllers.

If the wrong ghost is sealed, the sick ghost that tries to stop the fierce ghost would be sealed first.

Without any restraint, who knows what the fierce ghost would do.

Realizing this, Yang Jian was both shocked and frightened.

Fortunately, he did not act rashly last night but chose to observe and confirm the situation.

"Yang Jian, you're okay? That's great. Something happened, the entire village has been sealed off by the malevolent ghost. We couldn't leave by car and had to return to the village. Last night, we were attacked by the malevolent ghost, and we thought you were done for. It seems we were the unlucky ones; the ghost targeted us first. Fortunately, we reacted in time and didn't let the ghost succeed, or another one of us would have died."

At this moment, the sound of car engines suddenly rang out.

Three sports cars drove up and parked by the roadside.

Zhang Han got out of the car and excitedly recounted the events of last night.

Yang Jian suddenly came to his senses and looked at Zhang Han with some surprise.

Just from his words, he could confirm his previous guess.

There were two ghosts in the village.

One sick ghost, one fierce ghost.

One in the coffin, one wandering outside.

"No one else will die if you are willing to cooperate with me. This paranormal incident can be resolved," Yang Jian said, staring at him seriously.
