The true heiress felt a pang of heartache, and the crazed villains panicked.

Chapter 199 Master Lin, come quick, I'll take you for a drive.

【Huh? Could it be someone with the same name?】

[No, because I've always wanted to travel here. I even took time off work to attend a wedding here, and I remember it clearly. The wedding wasn't held at night; it was during the day!]

【Huh... what's going on?】

[The director said everyone's dead, so who's left? Did your friend marry some kind of mountain spirit or monster?]

[...That's actually quite possible, because I just suddenly realized that she, who used to love posting on WeChat Moments, hasn't posted anything for a year!]

The staff were all busy with their own things, and Director Wu wasn't looking at the camera either.

No one saw the netizens' speculations and discussions.

But after Director Wu finished speaking, Lin Sui keenly noticed that the two women and one man in Xu Haize's team who hadn't vomited were all taken aback.

His expression was a little strange.

Lin Sui took a closer look at their faces, only to find that she couldn't make out any of them.

Lin Sui frowned and looked at the two brothers who were vomiting until they were exhausted.

Sure enough, the brothers' faces were also unclear.

He Huanni was probably badly injured and frightened, so she didn't appear on this episode.

Therefore, all five of them are newcomers.

Lin Sui lowered her eyes.

Is it because they are all related to the haunting incident in the longevity village?

And they were all guided by another force that was fighting against the evil god.

Since Lin Siyao wasn't around, the ghost keeper had no reason to send anyone related to the incident to create another case.

Naturally, there's no need to do the unnecessary thing of gathering them together and then hiding their faces.

But after so many encounters, doesn't the ghost-raiser know that even without these parties involved, she still has a way to find the Yin-gathering array he set up?

Or has the formation been hidden again?

Thinking about it that way, it makes sense.

Lin Sui didn't dwell on it too much and continued listening to Director Wu's speech, which was nearing its end.

Director Wu: "...Next, everyone will need to take a local motorcycle taxi up the mountain. Since it's difficult to carry the production crew's equipment up, we'll have to part ways here. Good luck to everyone."

The bus was parked at the entrance of the market at the foot of the mountain.

It wasn't market day, so there was no one at the market.

There was only a row of motorcycle taxis parked at the entrance, all waiting to pick up passengers and take them up the mountain—deep in this vast mountain range, there was more than one village.

A group of drivers wearing sleeveless T-shirts and shirtless squatted to one side, puffing away on cigarettes.

The smell of sweat mixed with the odor of cheap cigarettes filled the air.

Seeing this, Yu Cinian's whole body resisted: "Do we really have to take this car?"

"If you don't take a ride, you won't get there even if you walk until dark."

The person who answered him was a young woman from Xu Haize's team.

The woman was no more than twenty years old, with long, wavy hair, wearing full makeup, and dressed fashionably.

Lin Sui remembered that her surname was Luo and her name was Luo Rulan.

“The mountain roads are even more difficult to travel at night, and sometimes fog rolls in. Outsiders like you can easily get lost in the mountains.”

Hearing her deliberately emphasize the phrase "outsiders like you," Lin Sui's heart stirred, and she turned to look at her.

Luo Rulan was also looking at her, her expression calm, but her eyes revealed a hint of nervousness and unease.

Lin Sui readily agreed and asked, "From what you're saying, you're a local?"

“Yes, I am…” Luo Rulan paused strangely halfway through her sentence.

She looked dazed, and was about to continue, "What I know is not..."

It paused again.

Realizing she couldn't reveal the truth, Luo Rulan could no longer maintain her composure, and her face turned deathly pale.

Lin Sui understood that she wanted to say something but was stopped.

Lin Sui thought for a moment, then asked in a whisper with her back to the camera, "Would you mind if I took a little blood from you?"

Although Luo Rulan did not understand what she was going to do, she reached out without hesitation.

She watched the program and she believed in Lin Sui.

Lin Sui gestured for her to put her hand down with his eyes, and then inadvertently pricked her fingertip with a silver needle, silently calculating.

A moment later, she frowned.

Even they couldn't figure it out.

This shows that not only her appearance, but Luo Rulan's entire being was concealed.

why?

The last time she used blood divination on Xu Haize, it was done behind the camera.

This is one of her trump cards, and she won't easily reveal it unless absolutely necessary.

The other party couldn't possibly know.

In particular, while they could only conceal the most crucial information before, they can now conceal everything.

The evil god's power is clearly increasing...

But they destroyed four ghost-raising formations in succession. Even if they couldn't weaken His power, they shouldn't have strengthened it either.

Lin Sui suddenly thought of Lin Siyao, who hadn't attended the last two sessions.

She was chosen by the ghost breeder, and even though most people now believe in ghosts, the breeder probably won't easily give up this easily manipulated pawn.

Lin Sui pondered for a moment, then turned to Si Xingran and asked, "Can you find out what Lin Siyao has been doing lately?"

"I checked, but I couldn't find it," Si Xingran replied quickly.

Upon overhearing that the strange mechanical voice had other plans for Lin Siyao, he immediately began tracking Lin Siyao's various movements and social media accounts.

Unfortunately, they gained nothing.

Lin Sui was not surprised.

Perhaps she should go back to the Lin family home.

The two-month period is almost up. I wonder if the Lin family couple will still be able to reap what they sow, with Lin Siyao's help.

“Even if we absolutely have to take this car, there’s probably no one willing to give us a ride.” Yu Cinian still wanted to try and persuade them.

The questions he raised were also very practical.

According to Director Wu, the entire village that had died would reappear late at night.

It should be a notorious ghost village, no matter where you look.

Sure enough, when Lu Xiang stepped forward and asked, everyone who heard her waved their hands and said they wouldn't go.

Lin Sui looked over and realized their fear was genuine.

He even lowered his voice to advise them: "You must be tourists from out of town. Please don't go to the longevity village, it's haunted."

They didn't know the specifics of how it was haunted.

These people are not from the mountains; they are from another town. They have only heard rumors of ghosts circulating here.

They've only been running around in the mountains for half a month, they know how to get there, but they've never been there before.

In this situation, the only option is to invest heavily.

People who have lived in small towns all their lives have never seen anyone throw money around like that.

Upon hearing the amount, he gritted his teeth and agreed, but added, "We'll only take you to the village entrance; we won't go inside."

A total of ten motorcycle taxis were agreed upon, which would carry passengers and luggage.

Yu Cinian insisted on not having the driver take her.

Despite saying it was pretentious, Lu Xiang still bought three of the motorcycles and drove them themselves.

It just so happens that not only Li Ye will be there, but others will too.

Despite being an amateur, he was more than capable of handling a mere motorcycle taxi.

However, Lu Xiang and Tang Xi were wearing skirts and it was inconvenient for them, so they had to regretfully give up their rider positions.

"Sui, Bao!" Tangxi tugged at Lin Sui's sleeve and pointed behind Li Ye, saying, "You...sit there!"

Lin Sui subconsciously looked over and met Li Ye's expectant gaze.

Lin Sui paused, then looked away as if she hadn't seen them, and walked towards Yu Cinian and Si Xingran.

Li Ye's eyes darkened.

Tangxi and Luxiang exchanged a helpless glance.

According to the two of them, they would prefer Lin Sui to ride in Li Ye's car.

Putting aside Li Ye's professionalism, Si Xingran just seems too unreliable. What if he falls and gets hurt?

Yu Cinian is also an uncontrollable madman.

Who knows if he'll suddenly get the urge to recite a passage from Shakespeare to Lin Sui while he's driving?

However, Lin Sui had made up his mind.

She would ignore Li Ye until he realized his mistakes.

Although Lin Sui is usually easy to talk to, when it comes to matters of principle, no one can do anything about her.

Lin Sui finally got into Si Xingran's car.

No other reason than that King Gigi won the rock-paper-scissors game.

This made him incredibly smug, and he patted the back seat of Lin Sui's car, saying, "Master Lin, come quick, I'll take you for a ride..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Xiang kicked him, making the motorcycle beneath him jolt.

Lu Xiang: "Screw you! If you dare to fall, I'll hang you on the hood of the car and let you go around in circles!"

Si Xingran said lazily, "Then remember to give me a cloak, and I'll take Master Lin with me."

Lin Sui: "???"

Once all the suitcases were secured, the long convoy of motorcycle taxis slowly set off up the mountain.

Tang Xi sat sideways behind Yu Cinian, and after waiting for a long time without him moving, she couldn't help but peek over.

The young man, who could kill with his beauty, was still staring at the scissors he had just drawn, sighing softly with a melancholy expression: "Why wasn't it cloth?"

Tangxi patted his shoulder understandingly.

She has lost before, and she knows what it feels like to lose.

But that didn't stop her from secretly laughing to herself behind Yu Cinian's back.

As the sunset was about to disappear into the horizon, the group finally arrived at the village gate of the longevity village.

The gate tower is built between two mountains, and the village is nestled against the mountains and by the water, with ancient trees reaching the sky.

Lin Sui frowned after just one glance.

Like Cloud Rain Island in the third installment, the supposedly haunted Longevity Village has no yin energy at all.

"Have you become a demon too?" Lu Xiang asked.

With only a year to spare, it's not impossible for the ghost-raiser to squeeze out another year of cultivation to allow the vengeful spirit to break through.

Lin Sui still felt something was off.

From the moment she realized she couldn't even make out the newcomer's face, she felt a strong sense of incongruity everywhere.

This incongruity exists between the two people...

The moment reached its climax was when two living, breathing people appeared before him.

"Is this a person or a ghost? How come it's out so early in the night?"

The younger brother seemed a bit timid, hiding behind his older brother and speaking in a weak voice.

He was an old man, hunched over, with a blue cloth wrapped around his head and wearing a black jacket with a front opening.

He was being led around by a seven or eight-year-old child when he turned his head and saw a group of people standing at the entrance of the village. He turned on his heels and wobbled toward them.

He tilted his wrinkled face up, squinting at them for a while: "You, from out of town?"

Lin Sui stared at him for a few seconds, then looked at the child beside him, pulled Tang Xi and turned to leave.

The others, not understanding why, immediately followed suit.

But the mountain path, which had just been clearly illuminated by the moonlight, was now shrouded in thick fog.

The towering trees along the roadside were shrouded in thick fog, their shadows looming and menacing.

At the same time, the two drones that had been following them fell from mid-air.

The live stream of "Seven Ghost Stories" also flickered twice before disconnecting and going black.

[What? Not the director again? Is this all the equipment worth millions is?]

Director Wu was also stunned.

We've just entered the village, haven't we?

Could it be that too many people died, causing the magnetic field to become disordered?

Suddenly, his phone rang, and the caller ID showed the assistant director.

Director Wu answered the phone, and a few seconds later, he was shocked and jumped to his feet: "What??? Are you serious???"

"It's absolutely true! If you don't believe me, take another look at the documents!"

Director Wu panicked.

Did he see it wrong?

How could he be wrong?

He has watched it no less than a hundred times since last night.

It's always been those two words, how could there be anything wrong with them?

But when he opened the documents again, his vision went black and black again.

He actually misread it.

To be able to see it wrong even after hundreds of times, is it possible that one's eyes are bewitched by a ghost?

Director Wu didn't have time to think about what was going on, and quickly contacted Lin Sui.

However, no matter how many times the phone was dialed, it could not be connected.

They lost contact.

On the other side, there is the Longevity Village.

The crowd stood beneath the gate tower, gazing at the vast expanse of white mist, filled with worry.

"When did this thick fog come up? Is it even safe to walk here?"

A lean man said in a rough voice, "Why should we leave? Didn't we come here to find out the truth about the ghost and win the prize money?"

Lin Sui hadn't paid any attention at first, but then she noticed Tang Xi beside her giving her a puzzled look.

Lin Sui then took a closer look at the man.

The man's name was Wang Tengda. He was a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties with dark skin and an honest face, but his eyes revealed a shrewdness.

Lin Sui was about to look away when she suddenly paused.

People whose faces were not clearly visible at the foot of the mountain can now be seen clearly.

Lin Sui looked at it carefully, then frowned deeply.

"What's wrong?" Yu Ci asked softly from behind her.

As expected, Lin Sui shook his head and did not answer.

Yu Cinian silently curled his lips into a smile.

Lin Sui then looked at the faces of the other people, and could see them clearly, except for...

Do you feel it's unnecessary?

Or is it that concealing one's full strength can only sustain this much?

Lin Sui guessed that it was both.

At this moment, Luo Rulan stared at her and said, "If you want to leave, I can take you with me."

The mountain roads haven't changed in over a decade. Even though the fog is getting thicker and thicker, reducing visibility in the village, she's confident she can still make it out.

Lin Sui refused, saying, "There's something strange about this fog."

On a typical foggy day, it might be worth a try.

“But…” Luo Rulan was anxious and wanted to say something more.

She didn't believe Lin Sui wouldn't notice the problem that she could.

But then they heard a rustling sound coming from the thick fog.

Then someone exclaimed, "Holy crap! What the hell is that?!"

Everyone looked closely and saw that on the mist-shrouded mountain path, people were rapidly crawling on the ground and the mountain walls beside them.

The elderly people in the village hurriedly shouted, "Quick! Come in and close the door!"

Xu Haize's team rushed in through the door in a panic.

Lu Xiang and the others looked at Lin Sui first.

Lin Sui pondered for a moment, then turned and said, "Let's go in."

As soon as everyone entered, the two gates slammed shut with a bang and a crossbeam was placed over them.

Things outside were hitting the door, making a loud thumping sound.

The older brother, terrified, asked, "What is this?"

How can someone climb so fast?

The old man's expression was solemn: "Those are the messengers of the Cave God. If anyone offends the Cave God, they will come out to punish them."

“The village next door to us was massacred because it angered the cave god nine years ago.”
