Mei Xiangu's idea is indeed a way to break the situation, and it seems to be the only way.
Zhou Ting thought for a moment, then immediately said:
"If the Evil Spirit wielding the big stick is also one of the innocent victims harmed by the villagers, since it has the ability to kill these villagers, why doesn't it enter the village directly and kill the souls of these villagers?"
"Of course, it's to torment the villagers—it killed the villagers' bodies and then confined them, not allowing them to leave. It wants the villagers to live in fear for eternity, seeking life in vain, seeking death in vain."
Mei Xiangu asserted confidently, "What other explanation could there be?"
Zhou Ting couldn't refute for the moment, and then a sound of the night watchman's gong drew everyone's attention.
Following the sound of the night watchman's gong, a ray of faint light shone into the guest room through the window lattices.
