In the past, this Manor never closed its gates during the day. But now, they were shut tight early in the morning. What did this signify?
The people of Ganzi Village didn't understand, nor did they want to think deeply about it, but fear had gripped everyone. They cried outside the Manor, begging the Manager inside to save their loved ones trapped in their village, yet no one dared to knock on the gate.
Their commotion attracted people from neighboring villages. Upon hearing that Ganzi Village was plagued by a Great Evil Spirit, and with the Manor's Manager still not having emerged, they too grew worried.
Some among them, either more daring or too impatient to wait for the Manor to open—especially those with loved ones trapped in Ganzi Village—courageously gathered friends and ventured back. However, once they entered, they couldn't get out.
This pattern repeated until it wasn't just Ganzi Village; other villages also had people trapped inside, and their fear grew.
