Weird People

Tang Wulin watched the little fat man run back to his friends. He stood up and sighed. "If what he said is true, this town is really weird."

The others felt the same way as Tang Wulin. They knew that it was possible to avoid accidents for a long time if they were careful. But to keep a whole town safe for fifteen years was impossible for a normal soul master. And it was pointless.

There had to be something in this town, either related to a god or some other mystery. Either way, it was a good thing for Tang Wulin and his group.

They could tell from the kid's words that whatever was in this town hadn't been taken yet. Maybe it was waiting for the right person.

They walked into the town and saw the townspeople busy or chatting. It seemed very peaceful.

A woman in her thirties approached them with a smile. "You look like you're here for treasure. Did you hear the legend of this town?"

She didn't wait for them to answer. She said, "You don't have to deny it. I'm good at reading people."

Lin Yuhan was the leader of this expedition. He stepped forward and said, "We did hear the legend, so we were curious and wanted to explore the town."

He was still wary. He only mentioned the legend, not the stage in the town square. He thought that whatever was in the town might have something to do with the stage. Or maybe with the person who suggested building it.

The woman noticed Lin Yuhan's caution and said, "I don't have any ulterior motives. I just wanted to ask if you need a place to stay. You know, exploring can take a long time."

"And our town is having a celebration soon. If you're interested, you can join us. I promise it'll be fun."

Lin Yuhan saw that Tang Wulin and the others didn't object. He said, "Thank you, ma'am. Even if we don't find anything, it'll be nice to join your celebration."

The woman led them to a hotel called Anxi Hotel. She checked them in at the front desk and asked, "Do you want me to show you around the town?"

They felt a bit uneasy. The kid before and the hotel owner now seemed too friendly.

Lin Yuhan shook his head slightly and said, "No, thank you. We'll rest first and then explore the town later."

The hotel owner nodded and said, "That's fine. If you need anything, just let me know. I'm usually at the front desk."

They nodded and took the keys from her. They looked for their rooms. Maybe it was because, as the kid said, not many people came to explore lately.

There were many empty rooms in the hotel, so the owner didn't split them up. She gave them rooms next to each other.

The hotel looked plain from the outside, but they were surprised when they entered their rooms. They were not very furnished, but they were very clean.

Tang Wulin knocked on each door after he settled in. He saw Gu Yuena in the same room as Anping. He felt a pang of jealousy.

When they gathered in Lin Yuhan's room, he glanced at everyone and lingered on Tang Wulin. He said, "I have a weird feeling about this town, but I can't pinpoint why."

Xie Xie said, "If what the kid said is true, it means this town hasn't had any accidents for fifteen years. Isn't that weird?"

Lin Yuhan looked at the others and said, "Have you found anything? If you have, I suggest you share it."

Anping thought for a moment and said, "Did you notice something? Everyone we met greeted us warmly. You know we're strangers to this town."

"They seem too friendly. The kid, the hotel owner, the people on the street, they all acted like they knew us."

He paused and said, "And did you notice their expressions? Everyone in this town is smiling. Not just a few, but everyone."

They felt a chill when they heard Anping. If he hadn't pointed it out, they would have thought this was a nice town.

Xie Xie wondered, "Maybe they live a harmonious life here, and they're happy because there are no accidents."

Lin Yuhan shook his head slightly and said, "We passed through many towns on the way. Did you see any like this one? Besides, our Star Luo Empire values personal strength. It's unlikely that such a town would exist."

The room was silent for a moment. Tang Wulin asked in his mind, "Old Tang, did you find anything special? Is this a god's inheritance site?"

Tang San's consciousness sighed and said, "If I'm not mistaken, this is not a god's inheritance site. But don't say anything. Just keep it in your mind."

Tang Wulin asked, "If it's not a god's inheritance site, then why is this place so weird?"

Tang San's consciousness said, "Maybe it's an artifact that can create a field like this for fifteen years. I can't think of anything else."

Tang Wulin said, "If it's not a god's inheritance site, do we need to explore it? I'm worried that the artifact might be dangerous."

Tang San's consciousness said, "The townspeople haven't had any problems in the field for fifteen years, so it shouldn't be too risky. Artifacts are rare and precious. You can't just ignore them."
