Shocking! A haughty and arrogant older sister was relentlessly pinned against a wall by a cold and a

Chapter 246 The Village of Transformation

Liao Yunqing was shocked and was about to take out a talisman to help when Liao Yunyan pulled him aside, saying, "Big brother, Cheng Ai will protect Brother Ke!"

Upon hearing this, he nodded seriously.

Instead of rushing in and getting in the way, it's better to wait and see.

Ye Jingke was already poised to strike. He immediately tore off the butterfly chain from inside his clothes and quickly and accurately bound the eagle's claws.

With claws overlapping one on top of the other, Cheng Ai gripped the jade hairpin and forcefully stabbed and pressed it into the ground.

"Ahhh!...Ahhh!..."

The spiritual energy in the jade hairpin and butterfly pendant caused Chen Gu excruciating pain. In order to escape, he had no choice but to sever his own arms and flee invisibly.

Cheng Ai pulled out the jade hairpin, untied the butterfly pendant, summoned a fire talisman, threw it onto her claw, and flames leaped up, burning everything to ashes.

The red lanterns on both sides of the road went out, and the sky was no longer as dark as before; there was light, and the sunset could be seen.

Zhong Zheyi, Shu Tian, ​​and the production team were able to move again. The villagers nervously peeked out of their rooms, seemingly trying to confirm whether Chen Gu had really escaped.

A bold middle-aged man ran out, knelt in front of Cheng Ai, and cried, "Goddess, please save the villagers of Huashen Village! Chen Gu has been killing innocent people indiscriminately for his so-called art. My wife, mother-in-law, and daughter have all been skinned and made into lanterns by him."

Ye Jingke frowned, "Hua Shen Village?"

An old man slowly walked up to him with a cane and said weakly, "Actually, this is Huashen Village, not Lantern Village. The two villages are adjacent, but Lantern Village disappeared in that great earthquake."

His eyes were red as he reminisced, “Huashen Village made a living by selling wine. That bamboo forest was where the wine was brewed. We got rich together and were very happy.”

But the good times didn't last long. One day at noon, a black eagle ate Village Chief Chen Gu in front of everyone, then transformed into his appearance and said it wanted to take over Huashen Village.

When we first witnessed this scene, we were terrified and dared not resist. He renamed Huashen Village to Lantern Village and frantically cut off women's skin to make lanterns.

When the last baby girl in the village was brutally murdered, he started luring tourists here. When we didn't obey, he would use sleeping pills to control us.

The old man was sobbing uncontrollably and couldn't say anything more. The middle-aged man added, "We often lose consciousness, and when we come back to, we find ourselves holding a knife covered in blood."

It wasn't until then that we learned we had killed the tourists ourselves. With lives on our hands, we naturally listened to Black Hawk even more.

He kowtowed repeatedly, his eyes flashing with alternating fear and hope. "Goddess, I saw you defeat Black Eagle. Please, eliminate him completely and restore peace to Huashen Village!"

Immediately afterwards, countless villagers rushed out of their rooms and surrounded Ye Jingke and Cheng Ai:

"You two must be messengers sent by the gods to save our Huashen Village. Please help us get rid of Black Hawk!"

"Greatly compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva, we are willing to give everything, just so that Black Hawk can die!"

"More and more tourists are going missing in Huashen Village. Sooner or later we will be arrested by the police and spend our lives in prison."

Zhong Zheyi and Shu Tian stood hand in hand on the outskirts of the crowd, not intending to offer any advice.

They weren't the main characters, and they didn't want to steal the spotlight or cause trouble.

Liao Yunqing kept staring at Cheng Ai. Ever since he realized his own feelings, he felt he couldn't get enough of looking at her.

Liao Yunyan secretly fiddled with her phone, her expression extremely focused.

It's too late. We must take down Ye Jingke within a month, or the disguise mask will start to rot.

Zhao Nan then led the staff out of the village, boarded a bus, and drove away with Qin Meilian.

Cheng Ai pressed her hand to her lips, pretending to be thinking.

She also wanted to kill Chen Gu as soon as possible and go home, but the problem was that she didn't even know where her target was, so how could she make a move?

Ye Jingke pursed his lips, gazing at the sunset with his eyes slightly narrowed.

According to the data collected by Fang Yanmu, the days are getting shorter day by day. Could it be referring to the daytime?

Monday was sunny, Tuesday had a few scattered clouds, Wednesday had large patches of dark clouds, Thursday had several more layers of dark clouds, and today it was pitch black.

It seems that all of this was Chen Gu's doing, or rather, Black Hawk's doing.

They controlled the villagers to skin them in the dark, without anyone noticing. No wonder the victims' families knew nothing about it.

"Black Hawk Down can turn invisible, so we can't find it. What clues can you provide?"

"In the big locust tree!" The old man pointed in the direction of Grandpa Li's house and said tremblingly, "If we accidentally killed a man, we would bury the body there. Black Hawk is probably hiding nearby too!"

The middle-aged man nodded in agreement, “Yes! When the locust tree appeared, I saw a black eagle standing on it.”

A large group of people headed to Grandpa Li's house, but the big locust tree at the entrance was nowhere to be seen.

Cheng Ai frowned in thought. Black Hawk could have controlled the guests and tourists with the hypnotic smoke the moment they entered Huashen Village, so why did he go to the trouble of organizing the Lantern Festival?

Desiring to completely eliminate the potential hazard, the villagers went home to get tools and began digging at the spot where the large locust tree had originally appeared.

Grandpa Li dug the tree the hardest, since it was growing in front of his door and posed the greatest threat to him.

One minute, five minutes, ten minutes, half an hour passed.

The pit grew bigger and deeper, but there was nothing inside.

Cheng Ai lost her patience and frowned. "Alright, alright, stop now. Even if you dig through the ground, Black Hawk won't show himself."

The villagers immediately climbed out of the deep pit and stood panting beside it, while only Grandpa Zhang was still digging hard.

Cheng Ai's displeasure was evident on her face, and she was about to get angry, but Ye Jingke stopped her by saying, "Ai Ai, I'll handle this."

His face was stern, and his voice was deep as he said to the old man in the pit, "Come up quickly, there's no need to dig anymore."

Seeing that Grandpa Zhang was unmoved, Ye Jingke waved to the outer edge of the crowd, "Zheyi, come and lend a hand."

Upon receiving the order, Zhong Zheyi immediately responded and squeezed in with Shu Tian.

After Grandpa Zhang was pulled out of the pit, he immediately knelt down and wept bitterly, his eyes vacant. "No, don't hit me, Qiao'er. I will pay my respects to you every year. Rest in peace."

Ye Jingke looked around in confusion. An old man explained, "Qiao'er was his daughter-in-law. He killed her with his own hands during the Lantern Festival a few years ago. He couldn't bear the shock and has been acting crazy ever since."

"Where's his son?" Cheng Ai looked around; all the villagers present were men. "Where are the old ladies? They're old and their skin is wrinkled; Black Hawk couldn't possibly like them, could he?"

Upon hearing this, the villagers looked at each other, shaking their heads to indicate that they did not know.

Cheng Ai narrowed her eyes and said coldly, "If you dare to deceive me, I will leave immediately."

"No, Goddess, don't abandon us!" The villagers knelt on the ground, weeping uncontrollably.
