Chapter 10 The Faceless Monster
Seeing the assistant nod and leave with good intentions, Chu Nanxing breathed a sigh of relief and found his mind to do other things.

Thinking of the other people who had not appeared just now, Chu Nanxing frowned and did not continue walking along this road, but planned to find others.

But just as she was about to turn around, she saw a monster attacking the people in the village.

The monster has a human-like appearance, but it has no facial features on its face, and its nails are sharp. It is attacking an old man who looks like he is five or sixty years old.

The old man was getting old, and his physical fitness was not that good, and the roads in the village were not very smooth. The old man didn't notice the stones under his feet, and immediately fell to the ground with a plop.

There was an extra scar on his arm, and the monster took this opportunity to move towards the old man after all.

The old man hurriedly stood up from the ground and continued to run away.

The people in the village heard the movement, but no one opened the door to check. Everyone seemed to be accustomed to such a scene, but silently closed the door tighter, for fear that the monster would change its target and attack them.

Chu Nanxing didn't know how this monster was formed, but seeing the old man's scarred, sweaty and panic-stricken face, without any hesitation, she drew out the long knife behind her and swung it violently, killing the monster in front of her.

The figure of the monster began to dissipate immediately, but it still rushed towards the old man unwillingly.

Chu Nanxing frowned at the monster's actions, wondering where the monster's obsession came from.

When the old man saw the monster disappear, he immediately collapsed to the ground, breathing heavily, and his condition looked very bad.

Chu Nanxing glanced at the old man who was limp on the ground, and noticed that he was covered in cold sweat, his clothes were all wet, and the skin exposed outside the clothes was full of grooves and covered with many scars.

The scar looked very fresh, probably from when he had just escaped from the monster.

Chu Nanxing took a step forward, bent down and helped the person sit down on the side of the field, and asked, "Old man, what's wrong with you?"

The old man looked at Chu Nanxing's appearance a little strangely, frowned and kept looking at her.

Just when Chu Nanxing thought he wouldn't get an answer, the old man slowly said, "I'm fine."

"Are you a professional hired by the village chief to solve the troubles in the village?"

There was a lingering suspicion in the old man's tone.

He didn't seem to think that Chu Nanxing was so young and had the ability to solve the village's troubles. The old man frowned and persuaded, "I advise you to leave early. The troubles in our village are not something ordinary people can solve."

"Originally, there were more than just a few people in our village, but now... hey..."

Chu Nanxing immediately realized that the old man in front of him should know something that others did not.

She pursed her lips and asked, "Old man, why do you say that?"

"If I can't solve the problem here, other people from our office will just die, so I want to find out what's going on in your village."

The old man saw that Chu Nanxing was very confident in her abilities. She seemed a little surprised, but she nodded quickly.

"Since you want to know, then come and sit at my house. It's not safe outside."

Chu Nanxing didn't quite understand what the old man was going to do, and looked a little confused.

"What will happen if you stay outside?"

The old man in front of him did not answer Chu Nanxing's words. He just lowered his head and moved silently in one direction.

Chu Nanxing had no choice but to keep up.

After a while, they arrived at the old man's home.

There is no one else in the old man's house, and it looks empty, but the old and new certificates hanging on the wall can tell that there should be a child who was studying in this house before.

But the rest of the home doesn't look like anyone else lives there.

Chu Nanxing hid this question in his heart.

"Old man, what is the situation in your village?"

The old man sat on a rocking chair and spoke slowly...

The anomaly in the village happened ten years ago.

At that time, life in the village gradually improved with the efforts of the old men.

Everyone is immersed in the happiness of a good life.

Can happen suddenly.

The eldest son of the first wealthy village chief in the village suddenly died at home.

He was covered in bloodstains, as if they had been scratched by fingernails.

Originally, the people in the village thought that all this was just a beast running down from the mountain, so they didn't pay much attention to it.

But who knows, more and more people in the village lost their lives unknowingly.

There are fewer and fewer people in the village, but they don't know who did all this.

Later, everyone discovered that the conditions of these deceased people suddenly improved at home.

Everyone began to wonder if they had done something they shouldn't have done and were being retaliated against.

The village chief led the villagers to hold a sacrifice. During that time, the village became much more stable.

Everyone thought this matter was over, but it was not over yet.

Three months after the sacrifice, most of the children in the village suddenly disappeared overnight, and some silently lost their lives at home.

During this period of time, there have been no newborns in the village.

The village chief then realized that if the problem was not solved, more and more people would lose their lives.

Hearing the old man's trembling voice, Chu Nanxing always felt a little strange.

She frowned and asked, "Old man, why did your village become rich ten years ago?"

"You didn't mention this matter at all in the information you just said. Is it because you don't know, or there is something wrong with the way they got rich. You are all accomplices, so you don't want to say it?"

What Chu Nanxing said was a little direct.

The old man's face became very ugly at this time.

"Little girl, I told you the things in our village with good intentions, but you guessed me so randomly, it's a bit too much!"

Chu Nanxing didn't feel any fear because of the old man's attitude.

Her expression was still very calm, "Old man, if you have never done anything wrong, why did the abnormalities in the village not disappear after those people lost, and why did they intensify?"

"Of course, people have the instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. I can understand if you don't want to say it, old man, but if you want to solve the strangeness in your village, just hiding it is useless."

The old man couldn't listen to what Su Qingyao said.

He stood up and said to Chu Nanxing with a cold face, "I don't welcome you here, please leave now."

As he said that, he picked up the broom beside him and made a gesture of chasing people away.

Chu Nanxing knew that he wouldn't get any news from him, so he didn't waste time.

She turned around and left, heading towards the village chief's home.

According to what the old man just said, the first person who lost his life was the son of the village chief.

But the village chief didn't mention this matter at all just now.
