Yang Jian stared at the screen of his phone.

At this moment, an email arrived on the screen, displaying a special document.

The document was the file of a supernatural event in Huanggang Village, Dachang City.

As he scrolled down, he saw some related information on the document:

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

Below was a satellite image.

All the buildings in the village, along with the villagers, even the chickens, ducks, and dogs, had all disappeared, leaving nothing behind. It was as if a hand-drawn picture had been erased with correction fluid, leaving only a blank space.

No, not everything was gone.

Something inexplicable appeared in the center of the village.

A coffin.

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

The coffin in the image was exactly the same as the one in the funeral parlor, except that the one in the center of the village was… open, and there was a blurry figure standing beside it.

It was unclear.

As if it was being interfered by some force, even the most advanced satellite couldn’t capture this thing clearly.

However, as he continued to scroll down, he found more information.

Three days after the supernatural event in Huanggang Village, the village, which had mysteriously disappeared, reappeared, but the villagers didn’t come back… the entire village became an empty place overnight.

The event had a great impact, and Feng Quan, a criminal investigator in Dachang City, was responsible for the investigation.

According to the information, Feng Quan was the predecessor of Zhou Zheng.

On a certain day, at twelve fifty in the afternoon, Feng Quan arrived at Huanggang Village.

At one fifteen, Feng Quan officially entered Huanggang Village.

The action report ended here, and what followed was a dialogue-based information.

“It has been confirmed that all the villagers have disappeared and may have died at the hands of evil spirits.”

“For caution, I didn’t stay in the village for too long.”

“I saw that coffin. The coffin was open… The figure next to the coffin in the satellite image was not there. I personally judged that figure to be an evil spirit. The level of danger is unknown.”

“Nothing seems to have happened today. I decided to take the risk and stay in Huanggang Village for one day, at least to find out if that evil spirit is really in the village.”

“At night, I heard footsteps outside…”

“The evil spirit appeared.”

“My situation is very bad now. There is something strange about this village, very unusual. I’m afraid I can’t leave. I suggest sealing off the entire village.”

“I have done my best and have done what I can. Don’t touch that coffin, that coffin…”

The scattered reports were not much, only a few brief sentences.

But from these simple dialogues, it could be seen that Feng Quan, the criminal investigator, should have died in Huanggang Village and didn’t leave alive.

Moreover, the dialogue information had been deliberately deleted and many clues were missing.

These clues should be extremely important.

“The entire Huanggang Village disappeared from this world overnight. Although it reappeared later, is the village that reappeared the same as the original village?”

Yang Jian clenched his fists tightly. “If they are not the current villagers, then what are they?”

Looking at the busy villagers in the funeral parlor and the old man chatting in the alley, everything seemed normal.

Except for the evil spirits wandering in the village, nothing special could be seen.

“If the villagers no longer exist, could it be that all these villagers are… ghosts?”

After realizing this, he felt a bone-chilling coldness.

He looked at a middle-aged woman washing clothes in front of her house, and she smiled politely at him.

He couldn’t sense any characteristics of an evil spirit from these villagers.

“No, it’s impossible. This speculation is wrong. It’s impossible for all the villagers to be ghosts because there can’t be so many evil spirits here. Moreover, they haven’t shown any strange behavior, not even signs of being controlled by evil spirits.”

Yang Jian rejected this terrifying speculation.

He had seen people controlled by ghosts before. They had a strange and distinctive aura, something different from normal people.

But these villagers didn’t have that feeling.

But… if these villagers weren’t ghosts, how could their long-term survival here without being attacked by evil spirits be explained?

And what did Feng Quan mean by “don’t touch that coffin”? What would happen if it was touched?

“Forget about the rest for now. The most urgent task is to confine the ghost in the coffin. This is a confirmed fact. But what I can’t be sure of is whether there is only one ghost in this village… The sick ghost and the ghost that killed He Sheng and Ouyang Tian should be different. If the speculation is true, then where is the second ghost?”

Yang Jian hesitated now.

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

One was ferocious, so ferocious that it could even kill ghost tamers.

The other ghost wasn’t vicious, and it seemed to deliberately gather these ghost tamers, as if… it wanted to prevent them from being killed alone.

If that was the case…

The first ghost to be confined should be the ferocious ghost that killed two ghost tamers.

And if the wrong ghost was confined, and the sick ghost that was trying to stop the ferocious ghost was confined first…

Without any restraints, who knows what the ferocious ghost would do.

Realizing this, Yang Jian was both shocked and frightened.

Fortunately, he didn’t act impulsively last night and chose to observe first, confirming everything.

“Yang Jian, you’re alright? That’s great. Something happened. The entire village has been sealed off by evil spirits. We can’t leave by car and can only return to the village. And last night, we were attacked by evil spirits. We thought you were done for, but it seems that we’re the unlucky ones. That ghost targeted us first. Fortunately, we reacted quickly and weren’t taken by the ghost. Otherwise, one more person would have died.”

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

Three sports cars drove over and stopped by the road.

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

Yang Jian suddenly snapped back to reality and looked at Zhang Han with suspicion.

Just based on his words, he could completely confirm his previous speculation.

There were two ghosts in the village.

One sick ghost and one ferocious ghost.

One was in the coffin, and the other was wandering outside.

“No one else will die. If you cooperate with me, this supernatural event can be resolved.” Yang Jian stared at him and said seriously.
