The thumps suddenly disappeared, and there was some dim light coming from the fifth floor. The wooden stairs looked a little narrow and dilapidated, and there was a faint smell of decay.

There was no movement at all above. The dim light gave off an eerie and cold feeling.

Chi Shuyan didnt hesitate for long. She took the candle and went up to the fifth floor.

When she reached the fifth floor, Chi Shuyan looked around coldly and saw that there was no one there, and the floor was lit up by some candles on a table.

Because of the drawings downstairs, her attention was all on the walls. Unfortunately, after searching seriously for a long time, she didnt see any more drawings.

Chi Shuyan didnt plan to waste time on the fifth floor, and was about to go to the sixth floor. The entire temple was only made up of six floors, and the thing that had been making noise just now was probably on the top floor.

Chi Shuyan took a few steps back and was about to go upstairs, when something suddenly clattered to the floor. It was an especially abrupt and crisp sound.

Chi Shuyan thought at first that she had knocked over the candle, but it didnt sound like a candle. She turned around and immediately went to pick up the thing that had fallen to the floor and put it back on the table. However, when she put it back in place, the candlelight illuminated the words Pan Dalei. Chi Shuyan realized that what she had knocked over was none other than a memorial tablet.

If it was just a human memorial tablet, Chi Shuyan wouldnt have reacted so strongly. When she clearly saw the words Pan Dalei engraved on the tablet, however, Chi Shuyans face changed drastically and her pupils contracted. She stared fixedly at the name for a long time.

She didnt forget that the village chiefs name was Pan Dalei. If this memorial tablet belonged to Pan Dalei, however, then who on earth was the Pan Dalei who had been entertaining them in the village?

She was sure that the latter Pan Dalei was indeed a person and not something else. Then, who was he? What role did he play in this village?

Chi Shuyan only felt a chill run down her spine.

At that moment, a cold wind blew in from the wooden window, causing it to creak. Only then did Chi Shuyan come back to her senses. Her gaze fell on the table again, and she realized that not only was there a memorial tablet for the village chief, Pan Dalei, there were also memorial tablets for others in the village.

Looking from afar, the densely packed memorial tablets on the table made her apprehensive again. Some were even stained with bright red blood. Under the white candlelight, it was a ghastly sight.

Chi Shuyan inexplicably thought of the last drawing on the fourth floor just now, and her heart raced. In addition, she found a memorial tablet with the name Xu Jianmin in the middle of the table.

As soon as Chi Shuyan saw this name, she immediately thought of the Xu son. However, he had already left the village back then. Could it be that there was a second person in the village called Xu Jianmin?

Chi Shuyan regretted not recalling the names of everyone in the village back then. Soon, she saw the name Ge Chunhua on another memorial tablet, and there was a bright red handprint on it.

Chi Shuyan was stunned when she saw the name. She immediately took out her phone and dialed Wu Haomings number. As soon as the call went through, she hurriedly asked in a low voice, I asked you to investigate the Xu sons family, right? Do you remember his mothers name?

On the other side, Wu Haoming was just about to welcome in Ruan Shenglin and the others, who had rushed over, when he received a call from Master Chi. Seeing Master Chi suddenly call him, Wu Haoming immediately thought of the Invisibility Talisman which his sister-in-law had used before. He was so excited that he had long forgotten that she had gone to the temple. Thinking of the Invisibility Talisman, he couldnt suppress the excitement in his heart. He said excitedly, Sister Sister-in-law, when are you coming back? When you come back, can you give me an Invisibility Talisman?

By the way, Sister-in-law, Film Emperor Ruan and the others just came; theyre looking for you!

Wu Haoming chattered on the other end, but Chi Shuyan didnt have time to talk nonsense with him. If it were any other time, she might still be in the mood, but she was in the temple now, and the Invisibility Talisman only had a half-hour time limit. She had to leave the temple in half an hour. She didnt reply to Wu Haoming, but repeated her question. What is the Xu sons mothers name? Is it Ge Chunhua? Just answer my question. Theres no time to talk nonsense, Im still in the temple!

Only then did Wu Haoming remember that Master Chi had gone to the temple tonight. No matter how much he coveted the Invisibility Talisman, he didnt dare disturb her official business. He immediately replied, Yes, Sister-in-law. His mother is indeed called Ge Chunhua. Whats wrong? Sister-in-law, is there anything else? You can ask me.

In fact, he was quite curious about what Master Chi had seen at the temple and what danger she had encountered. However, when he heard Master Chis energetic voice on the phone, Wu Haoming sighed with relief. He could finally rea.s.sure Director Feng.

At that moment, there was a knock on the door. Wu Haoming opened the door while he was still on the phone. When he saw that it was Film Emperor Ruan, Yang Kun, and Xu Tong, he was stumped. He pulled the phone away from his ear and hurriedly said, Film Emperor Ruan, Manager Yang, Sister-in-law isnt back yet!

After receiving confirmation from Wu Haoming, Chi Shuyan immediately hung up. She walked over and picked up Xu Jianmin and Ge Chunhuas memorial tablets one after another for a serious look. Could it be that he and his mother had long died back then, and hadnt left the village?

But how did the filial son of the Xu family and his terminally ill mother die?

What happened to the Xu family back then?
