I don't know what happened to him recently and why he would ask such a question.

I really didn’t know how to answer him, and Xiao Zhang was also stunned. I remember when I first met Sledgehammer after graduation, he was still a very optimistic, even lively person, and the kind of person who was glib in front of women.

But in the blink of an eye, he became a murderer.

So was he really just in his hometown in Luoxian during this period? But at that time, I remembered that he said he was traveling. Was it just a pretense?

"Do you believe it?"

He continued to ask me, and his eyes suddenly became a little dim.

They seem to be looking forward to my answer.

"I don't know what you encountered, but I have experienced a lot of things and seen a lot, so I will never believe what you say about monsters or gods."

I answered him seriously.

"No, it's not a god, it's a monster."

He said word by word, his eyes showing a look of horror.

"Have you seen it?"

Xiao Zhang asked him.

"I……"

He nodded and shook his head again, as if it was difficult to answer.

He later told me that he returned to his hometown because he had to take away something from his home, but by coincidence, the thing in question was left by the father and son who died.

"I didn't lie to you."

Zhang Dachui said, "He was the one who sold it to me back then."

At that time, the young man loved gambling and owed a lot of gambling debts, so he sold his ancestors' things to me behind his father's back.

I had some spare money at the time, so I bought it. Sledgehammer told me that at that time he really thought he had picked up a treasure, but in fact, it was just the beginning of a nightmare, and everything had just begun.

He said that thing was actually alive.

Because every night, he would see things coming out and harming people!

And those people actually look like monsters, exactly like the monsters recorded in Journey to the West.

He didn't know what it was, so he kept it at home.

It wasn't until recently that I learned that the thing was said to be an ancient artifact sealed by a monk, a sacrificial jar. If the thing was not reburied, Zhang Dachui would have nightmares about being haunted by those things for the rest of his life.

So he went back home.

However, when he returned home, he found that the jar was missing.

"Did someone steal it?"

I asked.

"have no idea."

He shook his head and said that the jar was buried underground in his ancestral home. No one knew about it, but it was missing.

"Then why are you like this?"

I asked.

"And he became a murderer?"

"No, I didn't kill the person."

Zhang Dachui shook his head and said that he was wronged.

"Tell me more specifically. After all, you have become a wanted criminal now, and you also killed two people because of this incident."

So I told him how the two father and son died.

"No, they killed those monsters." Zhang Dachui almost covered his ears, and then kowtowed to the ground in fear.

"What did you see?"

His eyes were dilated and he stared directly behind us with a horrified look on his face.

Zhang Dachui seemed unwilling to recall the scene at that time. He shivered for a long time and passed out.

At this time, Xiao Zhang felt his pulse and said, "He is poisoned."

"What?"

I asked quickly.

"It's poisoning."

Xiao Zhang was sure, "And this is not just a simple poison, it is also a poison that can cause hallucinations."

"How long have you been poisoned?"

I continued to ask.

"It's been more than a month."

I calculated the time, and it seemed that it was about the same time as when Zhang Dachui contacted me.

"So how is his health now?"

I asked.

Xiao Zhang said that this kind of medicine is almost not in circulation on the market, and it is something extracted directly from plants and has an anesthetic effect.

"Then where would you see such a thing?"

I asked.

Xiao Zhang shook his head.

We hired a doctor to treat Sledgehammer early the next morning, but because the poisoning was very strange, there was no effective antidote. We just needed to take care of his body. At least his vital signs were obvious, so there was no danger for a while. .

Sledgehammer was in a coma for several days, and the clues seemed to be broken again.

And there was no news from the captain and his group.

But just when we didn't have any clues, three hands came to the door.

"What's going on?"

I asked him.

Sure enough, he went to the Three Treasures Hall without any problem, and he said with a smile, "I got some shocking news from my brother."

"brother?"

"Ahem... I'm just a colleague. Of course we still keep in touch sometimes, but don't worry, I'm definitely not doing anything sneaky anymore. I've been driving a car these days."

He smiled and touched his head sheepishly.

"By the way, what news do you have?"

Xiao Zhang came out and asked.

"Aren't you looking for someone? My brother seems to have seen five or six people appearing in the countryside."

Three Hands said seriously.
