Chapter 338: Yinshan Village

The human head seemed to have noticed Bai Liu's gaze, and turned in a jerky manner, coming face to face with Mu Sicheng, who was right next to it.

Mu Sicheng covered his mouth dead to keep from screaming.

The head was snow-white in color, and the face was strangely connected, like the prototype of a plaster statue, only some general depressions and undulations on the face could be seen, with no specific facial features.

Just when Mu Sicheng thought that this thing did not have eyes, nose and mouth, this human head in the mouth of the place as if someone with a knife pulled, cracked a blood-red mouth, this mouth has been cracked to the back of the ear, the inside is full of sharp fangs, a kind of rich bloody stench attacked the face.

It stretched out its barbed tongue, as if ready to lick Mu Sicheng.

Bai Liu quickly pulled Mu Sicheng back and ducked under the bed, keeping the man's head from licking it.

The man's head deviated, slowly crawled down from under the bed, it revealed its body, an extremely crooked, wavy spine with limbs, it crawled outside the bed with its prostrate body, it was using the face with no features, only the mouth to tilt its head, quietly looking at the two men cowering in the corner under the bed.

Mu Sicheng clutched Bai Liu's hand tightly, he was already in a cold sweat.

"This thing has no eyes, nose or ears." Mu Sicheng whispered extremely quietly, almost in an airy voice to Bai Liu, "Is it unable to detect us? We can be quiet later ......"

Bai Liu did not answer Mu Sicheng's words, but instead locked eyes with the faceless head as he slowly reached under the bed and picked up a small stone, brushing it across his raised hand and throwing it, striking the thing in the face.

The thing outside the bed snapped open its eyes, also like an open mouth, cracked open two blood red mouths in the eyes, eyes dripping inside, and finally stared straight at Bai Liu at the bottom of the bed.

Mu Sicheng was almost scared to death, "What are you doing!"

Bai Liu calmly said, "To prove to you that it has eyes, it's an unlikely thing that you'd try to escape quietly in front of it."

"This thing is a kind of devourer."

Mu Sicheng looked at the thing outside in horror, "Ghost, Ghost?"

Bai Liu explained without slowing down, "You've heard the story of being a ghost for a tiger, right? It simply means that the person who was killed by something becomes a ghost, and will instead help that thing to find prey."

"With so many drowned people here in the Yinshan village, these drowned people will turn into water spirits, and water spirits will look for a substitute."

"Normally, water ghosts will reincarnate after finding a double, but the water ghosts here in Yinshan Village can't reincarnate even if they find a double, they are still trapped here, in this way, these water ghosts can't change into people even if they find a killer and eat people, those who are swallowed by the water ghosts and eat their doubles will also be transformed into ghosts, the people will be afraid to kill their own people if they are alive, and ghosts will be afraid of the ghosts who killed them before they were born if they are dead, so these ghosts will be driven by water ghosts."

"He who eats a man and is not a man is said to be a tiger, and he who is a tiger is said to be a devourer."

"I suspect that this thing is an innocent passerby who has been captured by the water ghosts that have been transformed into ghosts by the people who died here in the Yinshan Village and turned into ghosts of the devils."

Bai Liu looked at the thing outside the bed, "A devourer who dies and forgets his human form will become inhuman, but when working for the tiger, these devourers need to pretend that they are human to lure passersby into the mountains, so these devourers will become like human beings again, like now."

The moment the twisted humanoid monster outside the bed opened its eyes and saw the two people at the bottom of the bed, it suddenly craned its neck and moved, its crooked spine emitting a crunching sound of interlocking bones, and its twisted limbs righting themselves back, as it slowly, contorting as it did so, stood up.

Mu Sicheng could only see a pair of bent calves slowly turning from outwardly turned to inwardly turned into a pair of normal human calves, and then the toes turned from back to bottom of the bed to right at the bottom of the bed, and gently tiptoed up again, leaving behind the kind of triangular footprints that Mu Sicheng and his men had seen outside the house with only the forefeet.

A pair of pale hands gently held the edge of the bed, a smiling woman's face bent over to reveal itself from under the bed, she gently and kindly beckoned to Mu Sicheng under the bed one by one, the smile on her face sinister: "Come out."

"Why are you hiding under the bed when you're visiting my house, come out."

The woman's face was like a normal person, with all her features, and she spoke in an affable voice, like an ordinary woman who really welcomed her neighbors as her guests; what was bizarre was only her eyes, which had only the whites of the eyes.

Mu Sicheng looked up with goosebumps, "It turned from a ghost to a man to trick me right in front of my face! What makes you think I'll fall for it!"

"Probably thought you were less intelligent and easier to fool." Bai Liu said.

Mu Sicheng looked at Bai Liu breathlessly, "How do you know she's a ghost?"

Bai Liu replied, "It's written in the Maoshan Evil Art Handbook."

Mu Sicheng, who had now gotten over it, glanced at the ghost outside the bed, who had not come in, and asked curiously, "How do you know she won't go under the bed? She's the one who crawled out from under the bed."

"Because I saw this." Bai Liu moved his body out of the way so that Mu Sicheng could look behind him.

Behind Bai Liu, at the bottom of the bed, there was a collapsed dirt pit hole that could allow an adult to enter and exit, and a folded plastic coordinate was placed next to it, with [7] written on the top, and [xxx university archaeology team stays] written underneath.

Mu Sicheng looked at the crater in dismay, "This?"

Bai Liu held up the coordinates and gazed into the dark and gray pit, "This should be one of the coordinate points where the archaeological team unearthed the ancient tomb, which leads to the ancient tomb below."

The woman outside the bottom of the bed was still walking on tiptoe, now and then bending her body to look at them with those eyeless eyes, but never came in.

Bai Liu looked out of the bed, "This devourer should have crawled out of this pit as well, which means that the [tiger] it feeds lives in this pit, and the devourer is generally afraid of the [tiger], and it doesn't dare to come in."

"And we're in the [tiger's mouth] too!" Mu Sicheng was in tears, "It's all been sent to the tiger's mouth, so there's no need for her to arrest us!"

Bai Liu withdrew his gaze and slumped down, ready to head for the pit.

Mu Sicheng held Bai Liu's shoulder down dead, he looked at the dark pit, the stale smell wafting out of it made him shiver, "...... really want to go down there?"

Bai Liu turned back, seeing Mu Sicheng's entire body shrinking into a ball of fear, and gave him a rare reassuring pat on the shoulder, "If you're really scared, you can go that way too."

Bai Liu pointed outside the bed, and the woman happened to look down at them with a creepy inhuman smile on her face and a soft tone in her voice: "Come out and be a guest, little brother."

Mu Sicheng: "......"

Mu Sicheng, with tears in his eyes, followed Bai Liu as he crawled toward the pit.

The pit is very narrow, Bai Liu this kind of figure a little thin elbows up, can still slowly through, like Mu Sicheng this kind of figure big, can only spin to roll in the writhing.

The deeper you squirm, the more dead and desolate Mu Sicheng's face becomes.

This passage was too small, if something happened inside the tomb later, he wouldn't even be able to run away, he would be stuck here in the passage!

Bai Liu held up a flashlight and shone the light inward, the tunnel extending inward as if it would never see the bottom, Mu Sicheng felt that they had already climbed inward for a while, and there was no noticeable change in the surroundings, except that it was getting more and more humid and slightly more spacious.

"Mu Sicheng," Bai Liu, who was walking in front, turned his head, "You go ahead, I don't have much power left in my cell phone, and I'll need to hit the light when I come out later, so for now, use your camera's night mode to scout the way."

The passageway was now spacious enough for Bai Liu and Mu Sicheng to cross back and forth.

Mu Sicheng winced as he turned on the night mode to aim deeper into the tunnel.

The camera's night mode is a fluorescent green screen, and when everything around the dark unknown is photographed in a small green screen, for some reason, Mu Sicheng feels even more netherworldly.

Mu Sicheng asked in a trembling voice, "Bai Liu, how long have we been climbing?"

Bai Liu glanced at his cell phone, "It's been almost an hour, it's past ten now, we have to hurry up when we come out or it'll be more dangerous when it gets dark."

Mu Sicheng fumed as he muttered in a low voice, "Normal archaeological canals, are they this long ......"

But muttering aside, out of not wanting to face the ghost outside the bed, Mu Sicheng still ran inside with his camera held up stiffly, staring at the image in the camera, he suddenly paused for a moment.

"Bai Liu ......" Mu Sicheng turned his head stiffly, "Just now this passage moved."

In the camera's green screen, Mu Sicheng clearly saw the passage swaying from side to side, as if something had crawled over it on either side.

Bai Liu was unfazed, "Well, I saw it before."

Mu Sicheng, saddened by the realization that Bai Liu was not taking the change seriously at all, continued to climb in.

The camera was shaking the passageway more and more frequently, and Mu Sicheng could feel the things crawling past them getting closer and closer to them, he could even hear voices.

Knock, knock...knock, knock...

The sound Mu Sicheng was familiar with, he had just heard it last night, it was the sound of someone who was banging on the lid inside the coffin.

The passageway is now wide enough for Bai Liu and Mu Sicheng to crawl side by side, and Bai Liu glances at the camera Mu Sicheng is holding up, then suddenly covers Mu Sicheng's mouth and nose and flips to the side of the passageway.

Bai Liu warns coldly, "Wait don't move, something's crawling out."

Mu Sicheng looks like an ice sculpture, holding his camera motionless.

In the distance, the sound of someone digging through the dirt with their hands and feet came, pattering, and Mu Sicheng held up the screen with baited breath as he watched the green screen, in the darkness, suddenly appear as an arm with the palm and back of the hand completely grown backwards reached into the camera frame.

A face whose features could not be seen appeared in the camera, the head tilted at a weird angle, the spine growing on the belly, the back instead of soft flesh, swaying as it crawled, the knees folding completely inward, crawling past him in a posture that Mu Sicheng had no way of describing in words at all.

When this devourer completely walked past Mu Sicheng, Mu Sicheng was just about to let out a sigh of relief when his pupils shrunk violently.

This devourer was also dragging a coffin behind him!

This coffin was pulled and dragged outward by the ghost of the devils, and the sound of thud, thud, thud kept coming from the inside.

The thumping stopped abruptly the moment they passed Bai Liu.
