The desolate village below was experiencing a supernatural event, and he was certain, this wasn't a man-made phenomenon, but something that intrinsically existed there.
Swirling like a living thing, the gray fog exuded an unearthly chill that made one's skin crawl, a sensation Yang Xiao had felt before in the Nightmare World brought about by the Ghost Script; it was a presence uniquely attributed to Ghosts.
As the fog in the abandoned village thickened, suddenly, a blood-curdling scream shattered the silence, causing Yang Xiao's body to involuntarily shudder. He quickly lowered himself to the ground; the scream came from the other side of the village, identifiable as a man's voice.
The screaming lasted less than 10 seconds before it abruptly ceased, and the dense fog enshrouding the village gradually dissipated, leaving only a wisp of mist behind. The pale gray mist streamed through the village like clouds, the scene surreal as if from a dream.
