He was like a ghost floating in the darkness, skinny and bony, with bamboo-like limbs supporting his body. His face, which was not illuminated by the light of the lantern, looked very numb and expressionless, which gave off a bit of weirdness.
If it weren't for his face, which had appeared in the village during the day and looked very lifelike at that time, people would probably think that he was not a living person, but some kind of carefully designed puppet.
He made no sound and moved silently through the darkness.
Soon, the light of the lantern in his hand disappeared into the thick night.
A little later, a few more dimly lit lights floated in, and the light vaguely reflected the villagers' thin hands. They were walking straight forward, not looking around. If it weren't for the consistent speed of their steps, it would even make people feel that they were in a hurry.
Judging from their facial features, these villagers are not similar at all.
But the feeling it gives people at this moment is eerily identical, as if they were puppets carved from the same mold.
Like lonely ships, they sailed through the dark night.
And from the direction they were heading, it wasn't hard to tell... where their destination was.
Except for Yuan Yuxue who was standing by the window watching this scene, the other players had already woken up.
They stood not far from the bed with extreme caution, and through the small gap in the window, they saw the lanterns outside.
Even though they couldn't see the faces of those people clearly due to the limitations of human vision, they were very sure that these people were holding lanterns and walking towards Old Li's house in such a dark night - they were definitely not going to get up to keep watch.
Yuan Yuxue's guess was correct. It was likely that the funeral of Lao Li's daughter would be held tonight.
The players' doors were pushed open silently without making any sound.
Xiao Qi was responsible for staying in the villa, observing the fat man's movements, and keeping in touch with them at all times. Although she would not go out, she did not just stay in the room, but went downstairs and stood in the courtyard on the first floor to watch them.
The door of the villa was locked, with a very simple and crude steel chain lock wrapped around the opening and closing door - the players were all awake, and at this time they met downstairs tacitly.
When he noticed the iron lock that closed the door, the man in the suit stepped forward and quietly looked at the shape of the lock.
This kind of lock is not very secure, but it is not easy to open from a physical perspective. When the man in the suit was figuring out how to pry it open, he saw Yuan Yuxue step forward silently. Somehow, her fingertips brushed the chain lightly, and she saw that the large iron chain that seemed very strong suddenly cracked. Yuan Yuxue held it tightly in her soft palm, without making any sound from the collision, and the door was slightly pushed open to create a gap.
Suit:"… "
In a situation where silence was required, it was really inconvenient to make any sound, but the man in the suit still turned to Yuan Yuxue with a speechless look and mouthed, "You're really good."
When Yuan Yuxue turned around, he happened to see the man in the suit talking to him.
He blinked slightly in confusion.
