Holding the bank card, Si Ye drove away from Dachang City quickly.
Although there were still many Fierce Ghosts in Dachang City suitable for Pickpocketing, Si Ye's current condition was not very good.
As soon as he transmigrated, he entered Dachang City, which was plagued by Starving Ghosts, and used more than ten Cards in the Hospital consecutively.
His current goal was to search for this faint attraction and the Second ghost that could match his control.
This was also why he drove out.
He could not determine the Position of this attraction, so he could only drive around, constantly searching and trying.
Following the attraction, Si Ye soon entered a new city, Dahang City.
"This is the city."
Entering Dahang City, Si Ye clearly felt that the faint attraction had become much stronger.
Continuing forward, Si Ye soon arrived at a village intersection and stopped.
"The source of the attraction is here," Si Ye looked around.
He did not sense anything unusual nearby. Although the surrounding houses looked old, they had not reached the level of the Republic of China era.
However, the age of these buildings looked very old, just that the style was not that of the Republic of China era, so he could not be certain that these were definitely not Republic of China era buildings.
After all, even during the Republic of China era, not everyone's aesthetic sense was the same.
Si Ye did not know much about the Republic of China era.
"I'll walk around the village first."
Si Ye parked the car at the village entrance, his hand reaching into his pants pocket to grip the Cards he had prepared in advance.
Kill, Flash, let me see （Yang Jian Ghost Eye ）, You Are Mine （Starving Ghost ）.
The village seemed to have been abandoned for a long time; the roadside at the entrance was full of fallen leaves.
Si Ye walked up to an Abandoned House and stopped. There was a thick layer of dust on a wooden plank beside the house.
The wooden frames of the windows had no glass installed, nor were they covered with paper; they were just empty openings.
But strangely, although this house looked ancient, there were no sounds of insects or birds chirping.
Logically, such an abandoned house should be the preferred dwelling for all kinds of insects and birds.
The eaves that could withstand wind and rain were equivalent to a perfect residence for these small animals.
But Si Ye walked around the outside of the Abandoned House, and there were no birds, not even a single spider web.
Si Ye's heart involuntarily became vigilant.
He looked at the main door of the Abandoned House. There were clearly many gaps in the door and windows that allowed light to shine in.
But when Si Ye looked inside the Abandoned House, he could only see pitch blackness.
The pitch blackness gave rise to a strong sense of unease.
After thinking for a moment, Si Ye still chose not to enter this Abandoned House. Instead, he looked toward another Abandoned House, planning to check the terrain of the village first.
After spending about half an hour, Si Ye quickly circled the village once.
"There are about a hundred or so buildings in the village. This was a village with a hundred households, so it probably wasn't abandoned in modern times."
Si Ye took out his notebook and pen, writing down sentences on the paper.
"Although the style does not look like Republic of China era architecture, people's conditions were not good back then, so the architectural style might not have been uniform."
"The geographical location of this village is not good; many houses are mud structures, so there is a possibility they are Republic of China era buildings."
Si Ye wrote this content in his notebook for later consideration, then began observing the village situation with a more detailed attitude.
Most of the buildings in the village were very old, but there were some exceptions.
In the center of the village, there were three old wooden houses that stood out from the other buildings.
These three wooden houses were built entirely of timber, unlike the houses Si Ye had seen before which had mud plastered onto bamboo and wood frames.
However, the discovery of these three buildings confirmed one thing for Si Ye.
This village should have architecture left over from the Republic of China era because the three central buildings carried a strong Republic of China style.
"They should belong to relatively wealthy families during the Republic of China era, perhaps the architecture of a rural landlord from that time," Si Ye judged.
It seemed the reason he was drawn to this village was very likely within these three Old Houses.
However, he was not in a hurry to enter the village and continued to wander around it.
After observation.
On the earth mound behind the village, there was a patch of barren land, pitted and uneven, with raised mounds of earth, which looked like the place where this village used to bury the dead.
Below that earth mound, at the entrance leading into the village, there was a Mountain God Temple, seemingly used by the former residents to pacify the mountain god.
After all, a hill where the dead were buried was right behind the village, which would inevitably make the residents feel apprehensive.
Also, on the left side of the village, there was a well. Even though this village had been abandoned for a long time.
Si Ye could vaguely see turbid liquid below the well opening.
It was not turbidity caused by stirred-up mud, but more like ink being spilled into clear water.
Besides these, Si Ye did not see anything else worth noting.
However, at this moment, Si Ye became somewhat conflicted.
Since this village was abandoned, something terrifying must have happened here that caused people to flee.
Now he didn't know where to start investigating.
Whether it was the Abandoned House guarded by the earth temple, the three buildings in the center of the village, or that turbid well.
All three places exuded a sense of potential abnormality.
This village was related to the Republic of China era; if any danger arose, Si Ye could not be sure he could handle it.
So the order was very important.
During the time he spent investigating, the sky slowly darkened.
"I should investigate the situation of this village first,"
After thinking for a moment, Si Ye walked toward the village entrance.
He planned to contact Headquarters to help him investigate the past situation of this village, and also to get something to eat.
After becoming a Ghost Controller, although his body was affected, he would not die from not eating.
But Si Ye could still feel hunger, and the feeling of an empty stomach was not comfortable.
As for staying in one of the Abandoned Houses in the village, Si Ye didn't even dare to think about it.
If there were Living Persons in the village, he would be willing to stay here for the night and investigate the situation.
But there were clearly no Living Persons here.
Returning to the car, Si Ye took out the Golden Walkie-Talkie to contact the Operator.
He had already contacted them the night he left Dachang City.
For the second contact, Si Ye was already quite familiar with the process.
However, just as he lay down in the driver's seat, took out his phone, intending to connect with Headquarters and eat something, his expression changed.
The Walkie-talkie could no longer find a signal.
"The signal is being jammed? When did this happen? Is it a change brought by the darkness?" Si Ye frowned and looked around.
Although there was still light in the village, it had clearly dimmed significantly; it would be completely dark in less than half an hour.
