"How mysterious," Li Gujian exclaimed, finding the strange incidents described by Zhao Jingyan difficult to comprehend.
"Brother Zhao, do you have any idea what's behind these peculiar incidents?"
"I don't," Zhao Jingyan shook his head. "These are all mysterious events that took place in the village. Some investigations were arranged, but they never had the chance to be completed."
"Why not?" Li Gujian was puzzled, unable to fathom why the investigations were always too late.
Zhao Jingyan replied, "Every time an investigation was conducted, the people involved in these peculiar incidents would die. They died in tragic ways, and over time, whenever there were strange events, no one dared to speak of them publicly."
Xiao Mu slightly raised his hand, a subtle movement that immediately captured the attention of Zhao Jingyan and Li Gujian.
Both men ceased their conversation almost simultaneously and looked earnestly at Xiao Mu.
