Chapter 769: There’s Someone Behind
Guided by the seven headless figures, Gu Fan followed them past a cluster of tombstones, feeling the chill of the wind and hearing what seemed like mournful wailing in his ears. His heart pounded in fear and he only wanted to get out as quickly as possible.
Further along the path, Gu Fan came to a large tree and was stunned. The tree branches were adorned with dead bodies, all dressed in clothing identical to the ones in the ancient town, their eyes wide open in death.
"What on earth is happening?" Gu Fan’s growing fear made his breaths quicken, clearly a result of terror.
Picking up a flashlight, Gu Fan shone light on the hanged bodies and was startled to recognize some of the faces. They were the bride and groom from the bonfire party.
This perplexed Gu Fan even more. Why were the people from the ancient town here? Weren’t they supposed to be wreaking havoc upon others? Was this supposed to be some display of sympathy?
Gu Fan paced around the big tree, unable to comprehend the situation, and he asked Yang Xinran who was beside him, "Do you know what’s going on?"
Before Yang Xinran could answer, Gu Fan had already given up, "Never mind, you can’t even communicate with me now."
Despite having no head, Yang Xinran still had her temper. She almost stepped on Gu Fan with her high heel.
"If you know there’s danger, you have to tell me." As soon as Gu Fan finished speaking, Yang Xinran quickly grabbed him and started pulling him away, signalling they needed to leave urgently.
