"Withdraw suddenly?"
Hearing the inference of the woman in orange battle suit, Gray couldn't help but frown slightly.
Common people in this world, if they want to move, will definitely not let go of anything. After all, in this world with backward productivity, it will cost a lot of money to purchase these things.
But no one in this village took away their daily necessities, which is absolutely abnormal.
The purple-haired girl Sophia also frowned slightly, and then seemed to think of something.
She looked at the brown bearded man who was also looking here and said.
"Uncle Theresa, go and check around the village. Pay special attention to whether there are any neatly arranged tombs around the village."
"Yes, miss."
Teresa, a man with brown beard, took the umbrella from the woman in orange battle uniform and left in response.
"Miss Sophia thought all these villagers were dead, and they were killed almost at the same time?"
Gray asked looking at the purple-haired girl Sophia.
Under normal circumstances, if someone dies in a village in this world, he or she will be buried somewhere outside the village.
Because the time of death is not the same, these graves are generally sparse and irregular.
Except for one situation, that is, a large number of people died at the same time. Because they were buried at the same time, they were usually arranged quite neatly.
Sophia said that the focus was on the neatly arranged graves, obviously to determine whether a large number of villagers died at the same time.
"I have this suspicion."
The purple-haired girl Sophia nodded.
"Of course we can't rule out that they encountered some kind of emergency and had no time to take away their daily necessities, so they suddenly evacuated."
Bang bang bang!
He didn’t wait too long. After a while, with the sound of footsteps, Teresa, a man with a brown beard, appeared.
Everyone couldn't help but look at him. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he didn't hesitate and spoke.
"There is indeed a large area of neatly arranged tombs. Judging from the number, there are probably one or two hundred."
After hearing the words of the man with brown beard, the woman in red battle uniform was slightly surprised.
"That is to say, almost everyone in this village has died, and almost at the same time. Could it be that they encountered bandits?"
"It is indeed very possible, but other possibilities cannot be ruled out..."
Sophia frowned.
Everyone was silent, wondering in their hearts what happened to the people in this village, and at the same time, they felt a little sympathy for these people that they would encounter such misfortune.
In the middle of the night, the pouring rain had stopped, but the sky was still gloomy, without any moonlight, and the world fell into darkness.
And it was in this darkness that one blurry figure with white light suddenly appeared one after another.
They seemed to be cats that smelled fishy smell, coming towards each house where there were people, and easily passed through the doors and walls.
In a large tent, seven men slept side by side on the ground with only a layer of straw mats. It had just rained and it was slightly cold, so they couldn't help but wrap themselves tightly in thin blankets.
At this moment, a hazy figure shrouded in white light easily passed through the leather tent and entered the tent.
As this hazy figure shrouded in white light entered, the temperature in the tent suddenly dropped even lower. The seven people subconsciously pulled the blankets covering themselves and curled up even more.
The hazy figure shrouded in white light slowly approached. Finally, he approached one of the seven men and pressed his body against him.
The hazy figure shrouded in white light penetrated the quilt and attached to the man's body. The two merged into one, regardless of each other, but at this time, the man's body also began to glow with hazy white light.
"ah-"
At this moment, the man let out an unconscious scream, his body twisted continuously, his hands pinched his neck hard, and a long stream of saliva flowed from his mouth like a child.
"Pat, what's wrong with you?"
The other six people were awakened by the man's strange behavior. They all looked at the man with white light all over his body in surprise. They stretched out their hands to shake the man, but couldn't help but retracted their hands. The man's whole body was as cold as a block of ice.
The man's screams did not last long and then stopped. The man kept his eyes turned outwards, his mouth wide open, his body in a convulsive posture, and there was no more movement.
Then, the hazy white figure gradually floated up from him, then turned around and pounced on the other man.
"ah-"
There were screams and panic.
Gray slept in a tent. Because he was enjoying the treatment of a tent for the first time, he slept very lightly.
Suddenly, he felt that the temperature in the tent suddenly dropped a lot. He opened his eyes in confusion, his eyes were sleepy, and everything was blurry in his eyes.
But the next moment, his expression turned horrified.
In the tent where there was originally only him and Theresa, a man with a brown beard, a third person suddenly appeared.
This is a man with white light all over his body.
It was dark at night, but he happened to see this person, not through infrared perception, but only through his naked eyes.
What frightened him even more was that the person in front of him, covered in white light, had his feet not standing on the ground, but hanging in the air, almost twenty centimeters above the ground.
This person is actually standing in the air!
"ghost!"
Among some curious books in the castle library, this word suddenly appeared in his mind.
At that time, he just smiled when he looked at these books, and he had already concluded that they were fiction.
After all, he was a person who received a materialistic education in his previous life. Even after experiencing such incredible things as time travel, he still hasn't changed a bit.
But now he believes it, because the facts are before him.
That floating appearance in the air, that body whose face could not be seen clearly under the white light, was so similar to the ghost described in the castle book
The ghost was approaching, and Gray felt the temperature around him getting colder and colder.
Click!
Cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He grabbed the magic sword placed by his pillow, turned over suddenly, bounced it up, and then slashed out with the sword quickly.
Uh-huh!
Under the light emitted by the ghost, the blue-white sword suddenly cut across the ghost's body.
But the next moment, a scene that made Gray even more horrified appeared. The ghost that was scratched by the long sword was like a lake that had been scratched, with a slight ripple, and then completely restored to the original state.
His attacks don't work on ghosts!
"The body glows and the attacks are ineffective. I didn't expect that there is such a thing as a ghost..."
At this moment, a voice sounded. He turned his head slightly and saw that at some point, the bearded man had also stood up and was looking at the ghost warily.
Woo—
The ghost seemed to be alarmed by Gray's actions just now. He stretched out his hands and rushed towards the two of them, letting out a sharp and penetrating whine from his mouth.
Stab!
A sword split open the tent, and Gray retreated quickly without hesitation.
According to those strange books, anyone who is touched by a ghost will immediately become cold, lose control of their body, and eventually die suddenly. You must not let such a thing touch you.
Like him, the man with the brown beard also retreated sharply.
"ah-"
On the other side, screams came out from the tent where the purple-haired girl Sophia and the three of them were. Then they saw the three of them splitting open the tent and escaping from the tent in embarrassment. Behind them, there was also a floating white figure. follow.
