Chapter 1490: Beginning to Expose

Just at this moment, the Village Chief looked up at the sky, staring at the massive full moon above.

After watching like this for a while, he suddenly withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Chen Ang, who was standing to the side.

"The time is almost up; we should go to the ancestral hall. Follow me!"

When he said this, his face carried a faint smile, always giving one an indescribable sense of eeriness.

Chen Ang did not show it, still silently following him, heading in the direction of the ancestral hall.

Just after the two had walked some distance, Chen Ang discovered that the nearby villagers also began to walk towards the ancestral hall spontaneously, as if guided by some kind of power.

At this moment, he could be certain that the Village Chief was not sincerely wanting to help him, but had other motives.

What exactly they were was unknown, but it was definitely not that simple.

Under these circumstances, Chen Ang said nothing, just silently following behind the Village Chief.

After arriving at the ancestral hall, Chen Ang's gaze fell once again on that massive stone statue.

"What exactly does this stone statue represent? Why did I see it in your house as well?"

At this moment, the Village Chief did not hide it, but grinned.

"This is a symbol of power, representing many things!"

"The specific details are very complex, and I can't explain them clearly to you in a short while!"

Chen Ang suddenly recalled what he had said before: that it existed when they arrived here, and he didn't know what it was for.

Yet now he was actively explaining everything, which meant that from the beginning, the Village Chief had deliberately hidden everything and not told him directly.

Now that he could actively confess, it was truly a bit strange, giving one an indescribable feeling.

The Village Chief stepped forward, stopped after reaching the ancestral hall door, and turned to look at Chen Ang, who was still standing where he was and hadn't followed.

"Don't you want to leave here? Why aren't you following? Don't dawdle, the time is almost here!"

Chen Ang was stunned for a moment, then immediately stepped forward and walked towards the front.

Arriving at the ancestral hall door, he stopped and looked at the Village Chief.

"What exactly is inside?"

The Village Chief did not answer, but gave a mysterious smile.

And at this moment, Chen Ang noticed that the villagers had already surrounded them.

But Chen Ang noticed that their expressions were all very dull, looking very strange.

This was a situation of lost souls, meaning their spirits were missing a few parts.

No wonder he had felt something was not quite right just now; now he finally understood what was going on.

They were slow to act, even a bit dazed, because they were not just simply controlled, but because they were missing souls, which was why they were like this.

"Why are these people missing souls?"

After hearing Chen Ang's words, the Village Chief did not hide it anymore and told the truth.

"That's right, they can no longer be called normal people, because they offered their souls to the King; this way, they can obtain eternal life!"

After finishing these words, he carried a bit of a smile on his face and said.

"If you also want to become like them, that is simply impossible; you are not suited for all of this, and you don't belong to all of this, and precisely because of this, you have other, better choices!". ===== CHAPTER 1491 =====
