Quick Wear: Boss, she won again by doing nothing

Chapter 988 is here? Do you want to be food? (23)

The two went to the village by moonlight to investigate, but it seemed that all traces of life in each household had been abruptly cut off.

The unfinished firewood in the fenced yard, the wild vegetables on the stove that had been washed but were mostly rotten and blackened, the smelly clothes and water in the laundry basin in the yard, and the children's toys scattered all over the ground, etc.

The entire village retains all traces of daily life, but lacks the essential element of "people," silently telling the story of the hasty and eerie disappearance of the people at that time.

"Master, this village is exactly the same as the previous two!" Shuying hurriedly ran to Weishengwang's side, as if she was afraid that Weishengwang would disappear into thin air without warning, just like the others in this village.

The villagers here seem to have disappeared even earlier than those in the previous two villages... perhaps a day or two earlier...

Wei Shengwang stretched out two fingers and gently stroked the wooden desk in one of the houses. When he withdrew his hand, he noticed that his fingertips were covered with a thin layer of dust.

He couldn't help but frown. What could possibly cause such a bizarre and strange event to occur? Various guesses flashed through his mind, but he couldn't find a reasonable and convincing explanation.

After a moment of silence, Wei Shengwang turned to Shuying and said, "Shuying, do you remember when we left Yundong Town, we heard a few people whispering something?"

Shuying was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, and then said: I remember! They seemed to have mentioned that the Taoist priest told them to prepare enough dry food in advance and instructed everyone not to step out of the house for the next two days.

At this point, Shuying paused slightly, then added: "And now, it's been a full two days since we left Yundong Town!"

Yes, that's it.

Wei Shengwang's brows furrowed even more. Was it because he was afraid that this situation would happen to them?

Those who possess her talisman will be safe as long as they stay indoors. Those who do not possess her talisman will disappear without a trace.

Why is that?

“Let’s go to the next village.” After saying this, Wei Shengwang immediately turned around and returned to his horse.

"But Master, that woman said you need to hurry back to the capital, or you won't be able to return!" Shuying anxiously followed behind him, trying to persuade him.

"If I, the Prime Minister of a nation, cannot even figure out these things, what can I do to help these villagers when I return to the capital?"

"But my lord, it's late, perhaps..."

Before Shuying could finish speaking, Wei Shengwang impatiently cracked his whip and spurred his horse forward at breakneck speed. Seeing this, Shuying dared not delay for a moment and quickly urged her steed to follow closely behind.

The pitch-black night sky gradually turned a pale white, and then a dazzling, azure sky, as brilliant as a jewel, slowly unfolded from the east and continued to spread outwards.

A few faint golden rays and crimson glows intertwined, forming several colorful ribbons on the horizon, adding a touch of mystery to this beautiful scene.

The sunlight was soft and bright, pouring down on every inch of the land without reservation, dispelling the lingering chill of the night.

This tranquil and peaceful morning should have been delightful, but the small village that came into view shattered this harmony, with an indescribable eerie atmosphere permeating the entire village.

The village houses, fences, and paths were all gilded with a beautiful golden edge, but this light did not bring warmth to the place. Instead, it was like an extremely precise X-ray detector, revealing all the illogical details and making the eeriness nowhere to hide.

Wei Sheng looked at those sharp eyes, his gaze sweeping warily over the still empty village. All around was eerily quiet; not a single bird or beast could be heard, not even a chirp or insect. The entire village was as silent as death.

Along the way, they did not encounter anyone else, as if everyone had suddenly vanished into thin air.
