Ma Ye is already dead?!
The barrage of comments was so shocked that viewers were jumping up from their chairs and scrambling under their blankets.
Not only the viewers in the live chat, but Jiang Nuo and Si Yan also exchanged surprised glances.
Jiang Nuo: "Wow... a living dead ghost."
Si Yan admired Jiang Nuo's ability to come up with strange, yet surprisingly accurate, ghostly names.
Si Yan asked Su Hen, "How did you die? Is there a specific time?"
Already weak, his mind became even more muddled, and Su Hen frowned deeply as he tried to recall.
"About two weeks ago, a few of us paranormal streamers had a group chat. Ma Ye mentioned in the group that we were going to explore a suddenly discovered ancient tribe. To keep things interesting for the viewers, we didn't stream live first, but went to film a teaser video."
"Then they stopped contacting us after filming started, and later the group admin kicked him out, saying he had died outdoors."
As Su Hen explained, he suddenly slapped his thigh, his tone becoming quite excited.
"That ancient tribe... could it be the Bone Witch Tribe?!"
Even Ma Ye, who specializes in bizarre events, died here. No wonder I'm so weak after I arrived!
Su Hen felt as if she had suddenly found the reason.
"The person you saw... is it really Ma Ye?"
Su Hen looked at Jiang Nuo strangely, "You're not lying, are you?"
Jiang Nuo shrugged. "He introduced himself, so he's either a living dead ghost or someone who's just missing but not dead yet."
In short, it can't be a matter of dying and coming back to life, or coming back to life and then dying!
He remained very calm.
His composure was so calm that it made others a little uneasy.
"How about we split up?"
Jiang Nuo that they also didn't want to let go of the secrets of the dense forest.
" Si Yan and I are going to the clan to watch the sacrificial ceremony. Who wants to go to the dense forest? A Man is a kind-hearted person, but he's a bit strange. He might not wait in the dense forest."
Qian Sen said, "I'll go."
With the young master following Jiang Nuo, his safety is definitely guaranteed.
Lin Yu continued to support Su Hen, putting on the act of a kind and benevolent person, and chose to go to the dense forest with Qian Sen.
He smiled and nodded to Qian Sen, "I'll trouble you to take care of things, Mr. Qian. I won't hold you back."
"I'll go with you." Seeing Lin Yu's choice, Zhou Ling immediately spoke to Jiang Nuo, seemingly impatient, avoiding Lin Yu's smiling gaze.
Chu Xiu, without a doubt, followed Jiang Nuo.
Perhaps Qian Sen will be Lin Yu's next target. Zhou Ling thought, her white pupils hidden by her eyelashes, yet there was something she couldn't understand.
By splitting up, isn't Lin Yu afraid that he'll reveal the secret to Jiang Nuo?
Regardless, the split teams were decided. The three members of Team Yellow thought it over and over but dared not split up. They decided to go back to the hotel and stay there obediently until the day they could leave.
Jiang Nuo asked Da Qiang to lead them to the clan's territory, only to find that they had found the way themselves.
Coincidentally...
They encountered the body again at the intersection.
Ma Ye reappeared beside the corpse.
"Hey! It's you guys!"
When Ma Ye saw someone approaching, he immediately waved excitedly after recognizing who it was, "We meet again!"
"Yes, yes, what a coincidence,"
Jiang Nuo glanced at the corpse; the skin was rotting, infested with maggots, and beginning to rot. Fortunately, it was hollow inside, so it didn't look creepy, just a little disgusting.
These are characteristics that typically appear at least ten days after death.
"You're here next to this corpse again." Jiang Nuo tossed aside the wooden stick and glanced at Ma Ye with a smile.
"I originally planned to sneak in again today, but the corpse's skin looks even more decomposed; it couldn't have happened overnight."
Ma Ye lowered his sleeves and put his hands in his pockets. "Are these your teammates?"
Yes, they are very capable.
Jiang Nuo gave a casual reply, squatted down, picked up a stick, and poked the corpse. "The face is completely unrecognizable now. What a coincidence."
"Ugh!"
With his mouth stuffed, Da Qiang struggled to move aside, his face filled with fear. He had been reluctant before, but now he was urging everyone to leave quickly.
Ma Ye naturally joined the team.
Remembering what Su Hen had just said, Chu Xiu shuddered and silently walked away.
--
The local residents still ostracized them.
Jiang Nuo was wearing headphones and could hear what they were saying clearly this time.
"They're here again... Let's get rid of them quickly."
"So many people have come these past few days, it's really annoying. I know one person is enough each time."
Such words.
As Jiang Nuo walked, she analyzed the meaning behind the words. The atmosphere in the clan was unusually strange, and she could still hear sounds, including cries for help.
There are tourists.
Si Yan became alert, and the group retreated to a corner by the roadside.
Several tribesmen, completely ignoring them, dragged the tourists, who were bound hand and foot and whose faces were covered in mysterious runes written in blood, past them.
It was the same female tourist they had seen last time.
Upon encountering someone of the same social standing, the tourist's first reaction was not to cry for help, but to roar, his eyes blazing with fury, his emotions running high.
"Get out! Get out! Get out of here!"
"Get out of my way!"
He seemed to be suffering from hysteria, his speech was incoherent, and his eyes were almost bulging out.
Jiang Nuo scratched his head. "Who is she talking to?"
"You! Get out!"
The tribal members who were leading the tourists to the sacrificial square also shouted, taking advantage of the fact that the tourists couldn't understand them, and used very offensive language.
" A Man is indeed here." Si Yan saw A Man running towards them and shifted his gaze to the cloth strip.
There were three more last night than last time, but no change today.
How did you get here?
A Man looked extremely anxious. "Go to the dense forest!"
But the guest group, busy heading to the sacrificial plaza, had no time to deal with him. Jiang Nuo managed to gloss over the situation by cracking jokes and didn't mention that there were already people in the dense forest.
Their decision not to go into the dense forest seemed very important to A Man. Seeing that he couldn't persuade them otherwise, A Man stomped his foot angrily, his handsome face full of helplessness, and simply rushed out.
Jiang Nuo watched A Man hurry away again, then whispered mysteriously in Si Yan's ear, " A Man really wants us to go to the dense forest; he seems to have very little human presence."
Si Yan hummed in agreement, seemingly feeling the chill, and moved even closer to Jiang Nuo. "It's very cold here; the ghostly aura outweighs the human warmth."
In other words, there are more dead people than living people here.
But they have yet to see the grave.
The doubts were answered once again at the sacrificial square.
Da Qiang kicked Jiang Nuo into a corner, stuck a talisman on him, and then the four of them ignored him and squeezed into the square, even finding a relatively secluded corner.
The entire square was covered in blood.
Three corpses were hanging from the deer skull, the bones piercing through the necks and hooking upwards. The corpses did not appear to be tourists, but rather Bone Witch Tribe.
Zhou Ling frowned deeply, "They won't even spare their own people?"
"No tribe that's involved in sacrificial rites is kind-hearted," Jiang Nuo sighed.
Si Yan counted the corpses. "Three of the Big Dipper Spirit-Suppressing Flag have been used; the formation will be activated today."
