Chapter 1489: Hidden All Along

Carrying his doubts, Chen Ang walked out of the room.

He looked around and discovered that the surroundings had become brightly lit, as if it were broad daylight.

Lights were on in many places, illuminating everything around; if one didn't look up, one would think it was daytime.

Chen Ang discovered that many villagers had come out and were working, or were busy, and some were sitting by the wall chatting.

He discovered that among them were people he had seen yesterday.

They looked no different from normal people, and everything was very normal.

But it was precisely because of this normalcy that Chen Ang felt something was not quite right; he always felt they had an indescribable sense of weirdness.

After staring for a while, he quickly discovered this strange situation.

It turned out that when these people walked, their bodies seemed unable to be controlled autonomously; everyone's pace and speed were almost the same.

This was not normal; instead, it gave one a feeling like a machine, making Chen Ang feel even more that these people seemed to be controlled by something.

Just as he was staring, the Village Chief walked out.

Seeing that his eyes were full of doubt, the Village Chief smiled and began to ask.

"What's wrong? Is there something not quite right?"

Facing the inquiry, Chen Ang did not ask the doubts in his heart, but only said.

"I just feel that everyone looks very harmonious; this place is truly a paradise!"

"It's just that I don't understand why everyone only sleeps during the day and comes out to act at night?"

Facing the inquiry, the Village Chief stroked his beard and then replied.

"Actually, it's very simple, because humans possess human Qi, which is easily detected by things in other realms, especially those at a higher realm than ours."

"And at night, the habitat is covered by the dark night and will not disperse, which is why we act then!"

This sounded like there was no problem, everything was reasonable, and Chen Ang nodded with a smile.

Immediately, he asked about the one thing he cared about most in his heart.

"But I see that you don't need to sleep during the day or at night; does that mean you are not affected?"

When he asked this question, Chen Ang noticed that the Village Chief's expression became a bit unnatural, and his eyes were clearly evasive.

Seeing him like this, Chen Ang knew he had asked a key point; otherwise, he absolutely would not have had such a reaction.

Although he had detected the abnormality, Chen Ang did not say it out loud, still pretending to have seen nothing as he continued to stand there.

After a while, the Village Chief slowly opened his mouth and said with a smile.

"You have also seen that at my age, the human Qi on my body is actually already very thin and will not attract too many things to notice!"

Chen Ang nodded and didn't say anything more, though he also deliberately tested him.

Yet he unexpectedly could not feel anything on his body, not even a tiny fluctuation of power.

According to normal circumstances, even the most ordinary person would have a little power on them.

But strangely, he felt nothing on him, which was very abnormal.

Chen Ang even felt that it was he who had deliberately sealed his own power so it would not leak out, which was why he had been unable to detect it.

If that were truly the case, then this village chief was also a terrifying existence.

He even felt that coming here might have been a wrong choice.

Perhaps the other party had already set some trap, waiting for him to jump right in.
