MTL - Salted Fish Zombie-Chapter 10 devil
Huaiyang Village is not big, there is only this funeral home.
Contracted all funeral services in the village, including embalming, cremation, and burial.
The butcher, as if he had entered the land of no one, opened the door lock with a wire, passed the sleeping staff, came to the innermost room, and opened the door in the same way.
Ning Su and Chen Qing took a few steps behind him, followed quietly, did not dare to enter the room, and only observed outside the door.
There are display racks on three sides of this room, and there are many urns on the display racks, including two conspicuous red urns.
The butcher opened the two red urns, poured the ashes inside into two spare sacks, and put the ashes of the two animals into the red urns.
Neither of them understood why the butcher exchanged the ashes of animals for human ashes.
The butcher quit after finishing this.
The two continued to follow him to the river behind the funeral home.
This is a very wide river, the surface of the river shone with fragments of light under the moonlight, meandering to the farthest point of sight, disappearing into the thick night.
The butcher sat on the spring grass by the river, untied the burlap bag around his waist, and scattered the ashes in the red urn inside to the wide river. The ashes were rolled up by the clear river and flowed slowly eastward.
With his back to them, the butcher slowly sprinkled the ashes into the river.
Chen Qing breathed a sigh of relief, and her heart, which was a little numb from the butcher's behavior, eased a little.
At this moment, the butcher suddenly turned around.
Under the pale moonlight, his two eyes shone with a strange green light, and he grinned, his white teeth were sharp and sharp, and he looked at them with precision.
"ah-!"
I wish Shuangshuang and Su Xiangsheng arrive at their destination the earliest.
They had been to the groom's house when they attended the wedding, and they knew the way well, and the trip went smoothly without encountering any problems.
The wedding just ended today, and there are still unburned red firecracker debris on the road, as well as several cars from outside the village who came to the wedding.
Zhu Shuangshuang looked at the cars and frowned suspiciously.
On the gate of the groom's family-style villa, two big red lanterns were hung. The red lanterns shone with orange light, illuminating the surrounding misty night.
As soon as they arrived here, the two saw eight men walking towards the villa carrying a black coffin.
The two were shocked.
Su Xiangsheng hurried forward and asked the elder brother of the villager who just came out of the door: "What's going on?"
"It's a crime." The elder villager sighed, "The bride died of a heart attack on the wedding night."
"How come?" Zhu Shuangshuang said in a daze.
The scene where the bride sweetly told her how much the groom loves her is still vivid, just at noon today.
That girl who was ignored, bullied, kowtowed thousands of heads, thought she finally met happiness died?
"I don't believe it, I want to take a look!" Zhu Shuangshuang said, "Why did he die suddenly?"
"It's encoffining, don't disturb the deceased." The elder brother of the villager reached out his hand to stop Zhu Shuangshuang.
At this time, the eight people also carried the coffin into the villa.
Su Xiangsheng stared at the black coffin. For a while, the scene of the bride holding the blood-red red envelope was in his head, for a while, the scene of Ning Su staring at the black floor, and for a while, Zhu Shuangshuang was telling the story of the bride and groom.
Something was about to burst out of his chaotic head.
On the roof of the opposite villa, the assistant said to the black robe: "The bride is dead, this most critical clue is broken."
According to their analysis, the bride is the most critical figure.
They believe that Yin Daijun is the ghost master, and the bride is Yin Daijun's reality allusion, following the bride to see her experience can break the situation.
The bride is dead, and her cause of death may be the cause of Yin Daijun's death, but the bride's death was caught off guard, and they may not have time to find out the cause of her death.
Obviously, no one would be foolish enough to believe that the cause of death was a heart attack.
The black robe said: "Then we can just create another bride?"
The assistant followed his line of sight and saw Zhu Shuangshuang who was arguing with the elder brother of the villager.
The girl has fair complexion, bright eyes and white teeth, and she looks so beautiful under the lantern.
The black robe said: "The bride said that the bridegroom's ex-girlfriend broke up with the groom because of the horoscope. This village is probably using married women to do feudal things. What happened to them is better than the player personally participating Can be more clear."
The assistant understood what he meant: "Yin Daijun and the bride are both beautiful, and their appearance may also be one of the reasons for the selection. Chen Qing is very difficult to mess with, and this novice girl is just right."
"So we just need to find out what kind of woman the villagers want, and then shape Zhu Shuangshuang into a prey, and then push it out?"
The assistant frowned: "But, we only have more than three days, is it too late?"
The black robe said: "It's too late, maybe we just need to destroy the bride's body."
"The horoscope they want may be different, but the horoscope of the bride is certain."
"The bride was still alive in the afternoon, and something happened as soon as it got dark. I guess what they want to do with the bride hasn't started yet. If they destroy or steal the bride's body at this time, they can't find a replacement urgently?"
The assistant was stunned, and said with a smile: "You are really amazing."
Black Robe: "Prepare immediately, destroy or steal the bride's body."
Su Xiangsheng grabbed Zhu Shuangshuang's arm and walked back quickly, "Don't be arrogant, we have to inform Chen Tian and Chen Qing as soon as possible."
When walking back, they passed those cars again, and Zhu Shuangshuang stopped.
Su Xiangsheng gave her a hand, "Hurry up, we can't delay this."
"Wait." Zhu Shuangshuang raised her hand and made a pause. She stared at the cars and said, "I have an idea."
Seeing Zhu Shuangshuang's serious expression, Su Xiangsheng thought that she was the first to suggest that black dogs are fat people. At some point, her head was full of strange and to the point thoughts, so he let her go and let her think carefully.
"what idea?"
Zhu Shuangshuang stared at those cars, "Little Taoist, don't you find that there is something wrong with these cars?"
Su Xiangsheng looked at those cars and couldn't figure it out for a while, "They are all luxury cars."
"Yes, it's a luxury car. Let's look at the series." Zhu Shuangshuang said further.
Su Xiangsheng was sad and angry: "I'm just a poor Taoist priest in the mountains!"
Zhu Shuangshuang: "..."
She hurriedly said: "When we first entered the village, we encountered a row of luxury cars. I glanced at them. Before that, Ning Su said that the village is quite rich. I agree, but I think it should not be so rich."
Su Xiangsheng: "How to say?"
"Well, our family is still rich. I have ridden many cars since I was a child. My father and my brother will buy or replace a new car in almost two or three years, and the row of wedding cars are all five years ago. Some even came out seven or eight years ago."
Su Xiangsheng was silent.
He felt the game was a bit of a bully to the poor.
Zhu Shuangshuang continued: "At first I didn't take it seriously, because I didn't know anything about the system and the game when I entered the game for the first time, thinking that the game might be set five or six years ago.
"It may also be that the villagers are not so extravagant and wasteful. Like many of my classmates, they only change their cars every six or seven years."
Zhu Shuangshuang continued: "I found out in the past two days that all the cars in the village were five years ago, including the cars driven by boys who have just grown up, and the cars are quite new."
Su Xiangsheng said: "There are so many rich people in the whole village, it's not normal that they haven't bought a new car for five or six years."
Zhu Shuangshuang nodded. He pointed to the cars in front of him and said, "Look, these two cars are the six well-dressed people who gave red envelopes to the bride at the wedding at the end."
"The villagers are very respectful to them. They seem to be of unusual status. Even their cars were built seven years ago."
Su Xiangsheng said: "So, there are two possibilities. This game setting happened five or six years ago, or the time we entered was not the real world of the village, but five or six years ago."
He frowned and thought, "The system says that this dungeon is opened for the first time, and it's a new game. What's the point of a brand new game setting five years ago?"
Zhu Shuangshuang said: "So, it is more likely that what we entered was not the real village, but five years ago, and the car was one of the clues."
"Then what will this village look like in five years?" Su Xiangsheng asked again: "What's the use of introducing this point?"
Zhu Shuangshuang looked up at Su Xiangsheng, "Little Taoist, have you seen "Silent Hill"?"
Su Xiangsheng has indeed watched this classic horror film, but he feels that he is a curiosity-seeking audience, and what a professional screenwriter sees is different.
Su Xiangsheng looked at her seriously and motioned for her to continue.
Zhu Shuangshuang said: "If you think about it carefully, "Silent Hill" is actually built on a three-dimensional system of the real world, the external world and the inner world."
Following Zhu Shuangshuang's prompt, Su Xiangsheng quickly figured it out and got what she meant.
Zhu Shuangshuang said: "Many film and television dramas and literary works involve this point. The essence is the arrangement and combination of space and time. No matter how they are combined, a distinctive feature is 'not the same time'."
"You mean to say..."
Zhu Shuangshuang: "We may be in a certain period of time in the world. The place we are in here originates from the other world and leads to the real world five years later."
She added: "Of course, there could be other permutations, maybe just down the street, in another world, where things are happening that we don't see."
Su Xiangsheng's scalp went numb.
The night in Huaiyang Village is very dense, as if layers of ink were poured into the night sky. Under the blowing of the night wind, the black ink swayed and changed, as if something was struggling fiercely.
With two new members, Chen Tian quickly found the only pet shop in Huaiyang Village.
At night, the pet shop was closed, but the curtains were not drawn, so Chen Tian raised his flashlight to shine through the window.
This is indeed a pet shop. There are many pets in iron cages, the most of which are cats and dogs. There are local dogs and cats that are common in the village, and there are also rare breeds.
"It's strange that there are so many precious breeds of pets in this village," Li Yin said.
Chen Tian and Chen Qing came to explore this dungeon opened for the first time, and brought two newcomers who had just passed a dungeon, one named Li Yin and the other named Wang Ming.
Wang Ming said: "There's nothing unusual about it. Don't forget that this Huaiyang Village is a rich village. It's normal to have a delicate pet."
Li Yin: "But, I haven't seen anyone walking their dogs on the road."
"Hush—" Chen Tian put his finger to his mouth, motioning for them to silence.
There were bursts of dog barking in the distance, from far to near.
The three of them hid behind a dark tree, and not long after, they saw a man coming to the door of the pet store with a little black dog in his arms.
He opened the door with the key, and not long after, a blue-eyed puppet cat appeared in his arms, holding a cat and a dog in his arms, and continued walking in the same direction.
The three followed tacitly.
All the way under the cover of barking dogs, their footsteps were not noticed by the man, and finally stopped at the church used by the bride and groom on the first day of their wedding.
The three of them climbed over the wall and followed the man all the way to the door.
The church where the wedding was held yesterday was brightly lit at this time, and there were many people and a bunch of camera equipment inside.
A girl with long hair turned her back to them and was wearing a mask. After putting on the mask, she put on a white coat that is often seen on doctors.
She walked to the center of the church and turned her head.
The bright spotlight fell on her eyelashes, and her pair of red phoenix eyes were slightly bent, she was the bridesmaid.
She put one hand in front of her body and bowed gracefully, "Good evening everyone, today our pets are also a pair of cute little ones."
