Chapter 243: Cannibalism
Liu Laoba has been in a panic these days.
When the update was released in the evening, he always felt that someone followed him, and the feeling of being like a thorn on his back was very uncomfortable. He just turned around suddenly, and the back was empty, but he saw the rich darkness and the long shadow of himself dragged on the ground by the fire of the lantern in his hand...
After several nights, Liu Laoba was frightened and quickly reported the matter to his superiors and officials.
The official asked him if he had found any abnormalities.
Liu Laoba reported truthfully, and the officials cursed, saying that he had committed suspicious diseases and was suspicious.
Liu Laoba couldn't do so, so he had to bite the bullet and continue to make updates, comforting himself: Maybe he really thought too much...
Tonight, the moon is dark and the wind is high, and there may be winter rain.
At that time, Liu Laoba left the house in neat clothes and walked along the street as usual, preparing to call for updates.
The wind was a little strong, and it made a cold sensation on his face. He held the lantern tightly, for fear that it would be blown away by the wind.
It was already night, the streets were empty and there was no one. The houses on both sides were arranged, and there was no light of fire.
At this time, people were already asleep.
Liu Laoba shrank his neck, muttered and continued walking.
Here comes, the feeling of someone watching behind the scenes comes again, and two gazes appear to fall on their backs, looking very uncomfortable.
Liu Laoba held back and told himself that everything was an illusion.
However, the hallucinations became more and more real, just like a big ant crawling on the back, her furry legs slashing across the skin, itching.
He couldn't help but free up his hand and touched his back, but there was nothing.
"What the hell is going on?"
Liu Laoba scratched his head, and in order to boost his courage, he rang the gong in his hand. With a loud noise, it was particularly loud in the quiet street: "When the cold wave is coming, close the doors and windows!"
The pace couldn't help but speed up a little.
Then the feeling of being stared at by someone is like a gangrene attached to the bones, it can't get rid of it and it swept into my heart again.
This time, the feeling was a little heavier. It was no longer a big ant, but like a spider with hairy feet cruising on its back. It was wandering faster and faster, and its sharp limbs were plucked, as if it was about to tear open Liu Laoba's skin and eat the flesh and blood inside...
"who?"
Liu Laoba suddenly turned around and shouted loudly. The sound of shouting was trembling, revealing his inner panic.
If the wind responds, it will whimper. A little further away, there will be a cluster of darkness, like ink splashing, and no one knows what is hidden in the darkness.
Liu Laoba opened his eyes wide and looked around, feeling only dry mouth. Then, he turned around quickly and walked forward as if he was running away.
Swish swish swish swish...
There was a rustling sound behind me, as if there were monsters crawling, and the sound was very terrifying.
This time, Liu Laoba did not dare to look back and almost ran away.
call!
Suddenly a gust of strange wind blew up, and the lantern in his hand was extinguished, and the whole world seemed to be completely dark all of a sudden.
Liu Laoba lost his vision, and he tripped down by something, and fell to the ground in a flash. Both knees were broken, causing great pain. He didn't care about the pain, and felt someone approaching, which was extremely real, but there was no light, and he couldn't see clearly.
"Who are you?"
However, darkness enveloped him.
rustle……
A subtle sound swept across, as if eroding something.
...
"Sir, Sir!"
In the morning, there was sunshine, which sprinkled in through the windowsill, bringing a little warmth.
Chen Tang sat at the table with a somewhat solemn expression.
At this time, Master Wang Mo ran in panting and said, "Sir, someone died again last night. He is an updater."
Chen Tang asked: "What is the death situation?"
"It's exactly the same as the previous few, and I was gnawed to the point where only a pair of bones were left. It's so miserable. If I hadn't kept some clothes, I wouldn't have recognized them."
Wang Mo said, and a cold war was trembling.
Chen Tang raised his eyebrows: "If you remember well, it is already the ninth one."
Wang Mo nodded: "Yes, people in the city are panicked now, and all kinds of rumors are flying everywhere, saying that there are people-eating monsters in the city. Some families have chosen to escape from the city."
Chen Tang reached out and rubbed his forehead.
In the past few days, incidents have happened one after another. The victims are complicated, some are farmers, some are vendors, some are husbands, and even a child... They died miserably, their flesh and blood were eaten clean, leaving only a slim skeleton, which made people look at, and they were really palpitations.
Such a thing can be seen by a discerning person, and you will know it is unusual.
For a time, Chen Tang suspected that this matter was related to the Huang family. However, after careful consideration, he felt that the nature was different and it was likely that it was a single evil accident.
As the saying goes: If a country is about to perish, there will be evil spirits.
I remember that last year, when the emperor passed away, natural disasters and man-made disasters frequently appeared under major prefectures.
When Chen Tang was in Panzhou, he heard a lot of those things talk about by Mr. Zhao and Zhan Yangchun.
He didn't know what was necessary. The whole situation was like a dilapidated house, which shaked after being shaken. So the cockroaches, rats and ants hidden in it, and the creatures that originally lived in the dark all ran out, jumping around one by one...
That's the situation.
To put it philosophically, the order rules that originally had constraints were destroyed, and then all kinds of bulls, ghosts, gods and snakes emerged to cause trouble.
Therefore, in the current situation, not only Nanfu County, but also other places must have encountered similar incidents.
"Sir, what should I do?"
Wang Mo asked carefully. He knew that his elders had the ability to kill demons, but what had happened in the past few days was quite bizarre and seemed to be very difficult to deal with.
Since the first incident happened, Chen Tang rode a rouge horse around to search, but unfortunately, he has not found any valuable clues so far.
Downtown!
The visitor was the county magistrate Du Wangyun. He was also unable to sleep or eat for a while, and his lips were so anxious that he could not breathe. However, when he came in now, he was not talking about the case, but about another thing: the retirement of the old county magistrate Wu Yunyou was completed a few days ago, and the procedures were completed, and he officially left office today. The new candidate was appointed by the state yamen, and there is no clear statement yet.
Wu Yunyou retired. Before leaving, in accordance with official etiquette, Chen Tangde represented the county government to hold a banquet in the restaurant, hold a farewell party, and express his feelings.
Du Wangyun came in and said this. After saying that, he changed the topic and suggested to Chen Tang, send a letter to the state government for help, and send a master from Jiushemen to come.
These are the best choices when the place encounters strange things and is unable to cope with them.
Chen Tang thought about it and nodded in agreement. Since he could use the Nine Doors, he didn't have to take care of everything himself. Although he was in the system, although he was subject to many constraints, the resources in the system were not useless.
However, if you send a letter to the State Council, you will wait for someone to come again and again, it will take some time and it will be impossible to be on call.
During this period, I had to continue to give orders, step up patrols and guard against any incidents.
Chapter completed!
