Chapter 419: Chapter 419: The Strange Village

Chen Feng also frowned and thought to himself, "Ma Qi, Ma Qi, where on earth are you going?"

Thinking this, Chen Feng looked at the taxi driver and said, "Bro, keep following her. I want to see where exactly she’s headed. Don’t worry about the fare; I’ll cover your car for tonight, and I will give you double the fare later!"

"Little brother, are you looking down on me? Since you’re out to catch a cheater, no matter where your girlfriend goes, I’ve got your back, and I won’t take a penny from you for the fare!" said the taxi driver, shaking his head in a righteous tone.

Then he pressed down on the accelerator again, increasing the speed of the car.

There was no helping it; seeing as the BMW Z4 was getting farther away, if he didn’t speed up now, they would lose her!

Even so, the BMW Z4 still gained a considerable distance.

The BMW Z4 was also speeding up continuously, which showed that Ma Qi was in a hurry as well.

The two cars, one behind the other, finally came to a stop in front of a little village in the suburbs.

Seeing this, Chen Feng immediately told the taxi driver to stop the car.

Since there were fewer and fewer cars after entering the suburbs, it was very easy to be exposed if they followed too closely.

"Little brother, do you need me to come with you to catch the cheater?" asked the taxi driver, who had turned off the engine and was rolling up his sleeves eagerly.

"No need bro, thanks for the offer. You wait here for me, I’ll go in by myself!" Chen Feng said with a smile, waving his hand in refusal.

While the two were talking, Ma Qi got out of the car and, in her high heels, hurried toward the village.

"Little brother, your girlfriend is really pretty, but the prettier they are, the less safe they are. You must be mentally prepared, I’m afraid you won’t be able to handle what you might see. You must not act impulsively!" After seeing Ma Qi, the driver turned his head to Chen Feng and earnestly advised.

Chen Feng nodded with a smile and then also got out of the car to follow her.

So it was, Ma Qi in the open, Chen Feng in the shadows.

One after the other, they walked into the village.

Chen Feng followed closely behind Ma Qi.

With Chen Feng’s skills, and under the cover of darkness, Ma Qi was completely unaware of him.

Besides, Ma Qi was frantic and in a hurry, her mind in disarray, and she had no thought to check if someone was following her.

Walking into the village, there was a flat path in the center, with rows of houses on both sides.

Although there were no street lamps on the tiny road, there were people living in the houses on both sides, whose lights shone through the windows onto the path outside, providing some brightness to the otherwise dark road.

Ma Qi walked along the path until she reached the end of the village, stopping in front of a dilapidated mud house.

Perhaps because she had a guilty conscience, before pushing the door open, Ma Qi turned to look back.

Chen Feng, who was following, quickly dodged behind a large tree by the side of the road.

Not seeing anyone, Ma Qi then pushed open the door and entered the mud house, and promptly shut it tight behind her.

Seeing this, Chen Feng walked out from behind the tree.

He looked around.

For some reason, when they first entered the village, every household was brightly lit, with sounds of dogs barking, televisions, and families chatting and laughing together. Everything seemed very normal.

However, the deeper they went into the village, the fewer houses there were.

Until at the end of the village, all the dog barks and cat meows had disappeared.

Moreover, in the vicinity, there were no houses at all, just this one mud house.

The rest of the area was overgrown with disorderly wood and wild grasses, giving a somewhat chaotic appearance.

Near the mud-brick hut lay a graveyard.

There were mound after mound of graves, adding up to a few dozen in total. Some mounds were scattered with white paper money, creating an eerie and terrifying sight.

It seemed this was the place where the village buried their dead, teeming with Yin Energy—no wonder no one lived nearby.

But what about that mud-brick hut?

Chen Feng turned his head to look at the hut.

Despite its dilapidated state with walls full of cracks, it appeared as though someone still resided within!

Living alone among the graves?

How bold must that person be?

Chen Feng frowned and quietly edged closer to the mud-brick hut.

As he approached, he heard the voice of Ma Qi coming from inside.

"Witch, didn’t you tell me that once the Yin Technique is cast, that woman will surely die? Why is she perfectly fine now?" Ma Qi asked, somewhat angrily.

"Impossible, I cursed that woman with a hex, wrapped in Yin Energy. By now, she should be on her last breath!" A hoarse voice rose from the room.

It was clearly the voice of an old woman, but unlike that of a normal old woman.

This voice carried an ominous chill, akin to that of witches in horror films—raspy and sinister, it made listeners’ skin crawl.

"How can it not be possible? That woman’s doctor came to congratulate me today, saying that she has fully recovered! Witch, are you even capable? I gave you so much money, it’s not for you to fool me!" Ma Qi said angrily.

"Girl, don’t be impatient, let this old body cast the spell once more to see what’s really going on," the witch said in a chilling tone.

Then, silence fell inside the room.

Chen Feng furrowed his brow and quickly activated his "perspective eye," peering into the mud-brick hut.

In the dim room, two figures stood.

One was the discontented Ma Qi.

The other was an old woman, nearly seventy years old.

The old woman was dressed in black traditional robes, her hair coiled up and fastened with a red hairpin.

Her visage resembled that of the witches from Western fairy tales—short, emaciated, her face skeletal as if a layer of withered skin was all that remained over her bones, devoid of any sign of life, truly macabre.

No wonder she dared to live alone in such a place; even ghosts would give her a wide berth with that appearance.

Not far ahead of the old woman and Ma Qi was an altar table.

Two candles were placed on the altar, with an incense burner between them, into which three sticks of incense as thick as thumbs were inserted.

At the ends of the altar were various offerings.

At that moment, the old woman approached the altar and carefully lifted a black object from underneath the table and placed it in the center of the altar.

Chen Feng immediately looked intently, and what he saw startled him.

Because the black object turned out to be a coffin!

To be precise, it was a miniaturized, miniature-sized coffin, about the same size as an urn but crafted entirely like a full-sized coffin.

Chen Feng just stared at the black coffin and after a couple of glances, he felt a shiver down his spine, a cold terror creeping from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

This made Chen Feng frown; he knew that this coffin was far from ordinary!
