The No Man Village was originally named Bimen Village, and is located in Eguiling, a suburb of K City. Eguiling was originally called Hungry Ghost Ridge, which originally referred to the extremely bad feng shui of this mountain range, which had caused famines and starvation to many people for many years. At that time, almost the entire Eguiling was piled with bones, and all the families and children starved to death here. So it was also called Hungry Ghost Ridge, but later people thought the name was too evil, so they took the homophonic name Eguiling.

The Ergui Ridge is shaped like a big iron wok, and the sunken part in the middle is Bimen Village. Bimen Village is located in the center of Ergui Ridge, like a piece of meat being steamed. Because Bimen Village is far away from the city and the crowd, it is extremely inconvenient to enter and exit, so the villagers of Bimen Village moved out of the village one after another a few years ago. Bimen Village gradually became an uninhabited village, and the village is full of green plants. Ivy vines and other plants are all over the inside and outside of the buildings. From a distance, it seems like a kingdom of green plants.

It looks particularly beautiful from a distance, but only when you get close will you feel panic. A kind of deadly panic follows you like a shadow, coming from all directions, making you feel suffocated.

Ethan Chen walked down the hillside. The road was a bit rugged and covered with fallen leaves. Du Shuo held Ethan Chen's hand tightly to prevent him from falling accidentally. When Ethan Chen heard Bimen Village and Hungry Ghost Ridge, he immediately said: "Xingdu Bimen, human meat wontons. Gongtun Yushui, born hungry ghosts. I don't know why, but when I heard these two names, I suddenly remembered this sentence."

Xingdu Bimen, Gongtun Yushui are eight of the twenty-four Caos in the Song Dynasty, namely the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Works. The original meaning of this sentence is that the Ministry of Justice could not receive "filial piety money" so it could only scrape some money from the poor people, called human meat wontons. The Ministry of Works was the poorest, shaped like hungry ghosts who were starving and thirsty. The names of Bimen Village and Eguiling are indeed somewhat related to this sentence. In those days when cruel officials caused famine, the people were the lowest-ranking hungry ghosts among all the ghosts.
