The three of them ran towards the other side, where there were many large rocks in the bamboo forest, which could be used for hiding.

　　As the dark shadow approached from afar, everyone finally saw what it was!

　　The one that came in front of the inexhaustible well… was a headless person!

　　“Damn it…!”

　　Liu silently cursed, his heart, which had just calmed down, tightened again!

　　How many dirty things are there in this village?

　　Their first blood gate was dark, but at least there was only one ghost, and that ghost would basically only come out at night and kill people on its own initiative.

　　But Qiyu Village was different, there were ghosts everywhere, and the ghosts could do whatever they wanted to them in broad daylight!

　　The three of them didn’t dare to breathe, they saw the headless man walking steadily to the well, picked up the wooden bucket next to the well, and threw it into the well, the bucket fell into the well.

　　Then… it started to draw water.

　　Only, as the bucket was slowly lifted up by the headless corpse, it was not water that was filled inside, but… a rotten head!

　　The corpse held the head with both hands and put it on its neck, the dead fish eyes on the rotten head turned, but soon, the headless corpse took the head off its head and put it aside, continuing to repeat the previous actions…

　　This bizarre scene lasted for a full half an hour.

　　Until the headless corpse seemed to have a sense of it, it stopped drawing water… and drawing its head, and went back along the road it had just walked, leaving behind fourteen rotten human heads by the ancient well…

　　Behind the giant stone, Liu slowly stuck his head out and took a look:

　　“Damn it… what is it doing? Looking for a head?”

　　No one answered it, Ning leaned against the giant stone, his eyes were absent, and he muttered to himself:

　　“The compassionate person cut off his head and gave peace…”

　　He vaguely felt like he had grasped something important.

　　But just then, he heard Liu, who was poking his head, suddenly cry out in panic:

　　“Damn, you guys look, these heads…”

　　When the two saw Liu’s state was wrong, they also looked towards the side of the ancient well.

　　This look directly made them go from head to toe!

　　They saw that the rotten human heads beside the ancient well had turned at some point, looking straight at the three people’s hiding place, their dead fish-like eyes emitted a eerie green light, and their faces were hanging with venomous smiles!

　　As if the next moment, these heads would fly over and eat them alive!

　　“It’s so cold down there… come down and join us…”

　　“Come and join us…”

　　“Join us… together…”

　　“Never be separated…”

　　These human heads all made emotionless voices together, like a death talisman, transmitting into everyone’s ears!

　　“Hey, should we…”

　　Just as Liu asked in a trembling voice whether they should run away, he suddenly found that no one was beside him.

　　Liu turned his head and saw that Ning and Bai had already run away ten meters away!

　　“Damn it…!”

　　Liu was stunned.

　　He also ran after the two of them!

　　“No, you two wait for me!”

　　“Running away without a word?”

　　“That’s mean!”

　　The three of them ran for hundreds of meters, until a platform appeared in front of them, and they finally stopped!

　　Liu held his hands on a tree beside him and gasped for breath.

　　“You two really… ”

　　“At least say something when you’re running away!”

　　Ning glanced at him, shook his head:

　　“Big Beard, be more alert next time, if you don’t run away from this scene… you’re waiting to die!”

　　Liu recalled what had just happened and couldn’t help but shiver.

　　“But what’s the situation with that headless corpse, is it looking for… its head?”

　　Ning replied:

　　“It’s wearing something like a monk’s robe, although it’s stained with blood, it doesn’t have the same murderous intent as other ghosts, it feels… it should just be looking for its head.”

　　Speaking of the monk’s robe, Bai and Liu both remembered the ‘compassionate person’ on the blood gate prompt.

　　“Could it be… that he is the compassionate one?”

　　Ning touched his chin:

　　“It should be.”

　　“It’s just that I don’t know whether he voluntarily cut off his own head… or if someone else cut off his head.”

　　“Also, do you still have that wooden sign you got from the well ghost?”

　　Liu nodded, took out the wooden sign and handed it to Ning.

　　“Sister Bai, this thing is quite valuable, so I kept it.”

　　Ning held the wooden sign engraved with the word ‘Ruan’ in his hand, carefully looked at the word ‘Ruan’ on it, and suddenly asked inexplicably:

　　“You guys… are the people from the Ruan family kind people, or compassionate people?”

　　The two looked at each other, neither of them answered Ning.

　　They also had no answer.

　　Ning looked at it for a while, then put the wooden sign on himself.

　　“This thing is not auspicious, Big Beard, I’ll keep it for you for now.”

　　Liu shrugged.

　　“Whatever, you can have it if you want.”

　　After putting away the wooden sign, the three of them looked around, and then confirmed their current location through a wooden sign.

　　“We’ve actually reached Fangcun Pond?”

　　Liu mumbled to himself, his eyes fell on the high platform in the distance.

　　Vines climb over the bluestones, and grow together with the black algae that spreads from the center of the pond, looking like human hair.

　　The stone steps are nine levels, and there are many thick rusty chains around.

　　On the center platform at the top of the four-sided stone steps, there is a square pond about four square meters in size.

　　This is Fangcun Pond.

　　“Hey, bro, Sister Bai, you… what strange things are there in Fangcun Pond on the top of that platform?”

　　Liu seemed to have recovered from his fear, and was not as afraid as he was at the beginning.

　　Both shook their heads.

　　“Heart, this place… feels very bad!”

　　Bai’s voice became serious, and her face was filled with rare seriousness.

　　The fine hairs on the back of her neck stood on end.

　　Although there were no abnormalities around, Bai just felt something was wrong.

　　In fact, as soon as she entered this place, Bai felt cold all over.

　　She rarely had such a feeling.

　　“Damn it…!”

　　Ning and Bai searched everywhere for annotations, but they couldn’t find any, but Liu suddenly let out a strange shout.

　　They followed the sound and found that Liu’s face was ugly, staring at the black algae on the ground, his eyes full of doubt.

　　“Big Beard, what’s wrong?”

　　Liu hesitated:

　　“Just now, I saw the black algae on the ground… it seemed to wiggle.”

　　“Maybe I was mistaken…”

　　Before he finished speaking, the three of them heard the sound of water rushing from Fangcun Pond on the high platform, as if… it was boiling!
