Chapter 232 "Step into Science?
"Explore the science?"
The burly man stood there a bit bewildered, thinking hard for a while before he finally chose to shake his head and give up, "I don't understand, brother, speak your mind directly, so we can all consider it together."
"Don't rush."
Chen Miao shook his head and spoke softly, "It's just a rough guess for now, not yet confirmed, what we need to do now is wait, wait for the village chief to wake up, then take us to judge at noon."
This had already been decided by the village chief the day before.
It's worth mentioning that the main task of this secret realm is to gain the village chief's approval, while the side task is to gain the approval of any one of the three bound people on the high platform. How to start getting any of these approvals was somewhat puzzling.
...
Soon—
At noon, the village chief woke up on time but did not go to the high platform immediately. Instead, he sent someone to tell them that today's plan was canceled and the trial would be postponed to noon the next day.
Just a simple sentence like that.
Similarly, they had already been put under house arrest here during the daytime, forbidden to step out of this area.
Chen Miao's eyes narrowed slightly, perhaps understanding something.
But he made no move.
As night fell, and with the darkness deepening, Chen Miao ignored the strange events outside the window and walked slowly along the streets of the village. Not a person could be seen on the entire village street, as if it was deserted, with only white lanterns hanging from each household.
It looked incredibly eerie.
Anyone with weak nerves would start to feel their legs go weak and be unable to stand firm upon setting foot on this road.
But Chen Miao was calm as he lit a cigarette and put it to his lips, took a deep breath, and then slowly looked around. After quickly determining his direction, he walked steadily and slowly towards the direction of the high platform.
Faint wisps of smoke trailed behind his head.
It wasn't long before he arrived at the base of the high platform and saw the three people bound there. Just as he had guessed, the strange events after nightfall could only cause psychological terror but couldn't inflict any real physical harm.
The eerie events were man-made.
They belonged to the realm of science, not the paranormal.
Only with the condition that the protection talisman was a mere trinket could he deduce more things.
...
"Huh!"
Standing beneath the high platform in the dead of night, Chen Miao held a cigarette between his fingers, allowing the pale blue smoke to drift in midair. After standing still for quite some time, he suddenly broke into a grin, "Pretty good."
Why would the village chief go to such lengths to stop them from going out? There was only one answer.
It was that the village harbored an unspeakable secret after dark, a secret that could be a devastating blow to the village chief. This secret was likely the key to their victory, but what secret could there be in a village?
He had two guesses in his mind.
But by the time he was standing here, there was only one guess left.
Originally he thought the biggest secret in this village was none other than the three people who had been bound on the high platform all the time, waiting for the trial; but once he actually arrived here, he realized this guess could be discarded.
These three were not any secret at all.
They had been standing there from the beginning to the end.
For as he stood there, the three people who had been unconscious during the daytime somehow woke up. Seeing his arrival, they all became excitedly agitated, begging him, "Please, let us down. We are innocent!"
"As long as you release us, I'll fulfill any of your requests."
"Only you can untie these ropes."
"I haven't eaten for many days, I'm about to starve to death."
The voices of the three people were a cacophony in his ears, each with desperation in their eyes. They were indeed innocent, as they claimed.
He knew the identities of these three people.
1: The Poor Family's Filial Son.
2: The Tomb Guardian who guarded the general's tomb for decades.
3: The Senior Who Played Suona for a Lifetime.
In that order, from left to right.
