Chapter 132 - Eat, Eat, Eat!

The dull rhythm of life,

the peaceful rural atmosphere of the Republic of China,

the earthy invective,

the notes with the fragrance of the Earth.

This was its back, the back of the three villages, and once you walked a few steps to the front, you would be scared to death by its face.

Every detail here was like a crack, drops of blood gurgled out of the crack, and then drowned people, suffocating people.

A terrifying dark cloud hung over the village, like a stage play. Each character seemed to be wearing a meaningful mask.

The moon hung in the sky

But the light on the ground was uneven and pale. It was as if an unqualified lighting master had adjusted the wrong angle, making everything very chaotic.

Someone was sleeping,

someone was cooking,

someone was fetching water,

someone was cursing,

someone was laughing,

someone was crying.

Zhou Ze walked for a long time and almost walked through the entire village.

One thing was certain, this place was completely different from the last time the building owner came.

If nine years ago, when the building owner first came here, this place was like a huge tiger that had opened its mouth. At the same time, its tiger eyes were staring at you.

It could eat you whenever it wanted to,

and the feeling of being eaten at any time was the most torturous and torturous.

If the owner of the building nine years ago saw this scene, he probably didn’t have the courage to say that he wanted to come back and find evidence to take photos.

After walking around, Zhou Ze came to an ancestral hall.

This ancestral hall could be considered the tallest building in Block B in the entire three villages.

It wasn’t big,

however, there was a plaque hanging outside, and inside, there were carved beams and picturesque buildings. Although it was small and somewhat cramped, it revealed a kind of exquisiteness and solemnity.

A blind old man wearing a long gown sat at the entrance of the ancestral hall. He held a walking stick in his hand and kept tapping on the ground. His lips trembled slightly.

Zhou Ze stopped in front of him because in Zhou Ze’s eyes, this old man was the most normal person in the entire village.

At least, the old man did not drool or drool.

But when he got closer..,

zhou Ze still heard the old man muttering to himself in a low voice:

“Hungry, so hungry, so hungry. I really want to eat white steamed buns. I really want to eat steamed buns.”

The little monkey jumped up and grabbed the blind old man’s goat whiskers.

The blind old man raised his head. He was blind and did not have sunglasses, but his eyes were cloudy. However, at this moment, he should have sensed that there was someone in front of him. It was a stranger.

He licked his tongue and swallowed,

he said,

“Let’s go, you go. Big Guy, you can’t hold it in anymore.”

The blind old man’s words were filled with vicissitudes of life and helplessness.

He was reminding Zhou Ze..,

this place..,

was a place of chaos. The people here were all very hungry.

One hungry ghost after another would come out of their cages!

If you didn’t Leave Now, you wouldn’t be able to leave.

Zhou ze still didn’t move. To be honest, he wasn’t very afraid of the malicious ghosts here. Even if there were so many of them, he wouldn’t be able to bear it. However, there was a big difference between being unable to fight and being unable to escape.

Zhou ze believed that he still had the confidence to escape.

“What exactly is going on here?”

Zhou ze asked.

He hoped to get an answer. How did the people in this village become like this.

Actually..,

the Darkness and the blood moon above the village had already explained many problems. The village was a demon land. Only many ancient battlefield ruins would behave like this.

“Don’t ask, don’t ask. Let’s go. Everyone is hungry, very hungry. If you don’t leave, you’ll be eaten.”

The blind old man kept repeating these words over and over again.

“Hungry? Did you all starve to death?”

Impossible..,

how could a village starve to death? Wouldn’t they run out of food to escape the famine?

Moreover, the grandmother on the internet had previously been a person from the three villages. This village had been massacred by the Japanese on the day they invaded Tongcheng. What did that have to do with being hungry?

“Go, you go!”

The blind old man was furious,

his walking stick kept poking at the ground.

“Go! Go!”

Zhou Ze still did not move, which made the blind old man very anxious. Of course, while he was anxious, he also began to wake up his nose. Obviously, he was hungry!

“If I don’t go, I’ll be eaten.”

The blind old man’s voice started to become lower and lower.

He himself was about to lose control.

Zhou ze still didn’t move. He couldn’t leave until he understood what was going on here.

The police were in charge of the matters of the living, but the matters of the dead were his responsibility.

In the past, this village could still be called the “Modern version”of the land of peach blossoms. But now, nine years had passed, and it was starting to gradually turn into a haunted house.

That little girl was very likely lucky. She wasn’t affected by the pollution or too much, so she came to her own bookstore.

But at the same time, the little girl’s appearance in the bookstore also meant that the ghosts in the three villages and the situation here had begun to change.

Not only people could come in..,

ghosts..,

could also go out!

Once so many malicious ghosts were released, how much damage would they cause?

If Zhou Ze didn’t know, it would be fine. At worst, he could deal with it in time, but he was already here.

The Little Loli had once said that the Yin department had a scale.

Zhou ze believed that once he left, the Yin department’s evaluation of his actions would far exceed the evaluation of him coercing the Little Loli to become his subordinate.

In the eyes of the Yin Masters..,

ghost messengers and constables were the lowest level of civil servants. They could fight among themselves, vie for favor, and make noise, but they had to do their jobs well. The most important thing was to maintain stability.

Controlling the situation so that the ghosts would not affect the human world was the most basic Red Line. The rest was not a problem.

Therefore, Zhou Ze could not leave. Even though he could smell it, the oppressive feeling in the air was getting stronger and stronger.

But now, the most critical thing was that if he didn’t know the secret of this village and the reason for its formation, Zhou Ze had no way to solve it.

Just like the Old Grandpa and little girl he met when he first came in, after they were killed by Zhou Ze, they instantly recovered to the previous node.

In this place, Zhou Ze couldn’t kill them at all, let alone capture them to do business.

“Let’s Go!”

The blind old man suddenly stood up and extended his walking stick towards Zhou Ze.

Zhou ze stretched out his hand and grabbed the walking stick. His two fingernails were directly embedded into the walking stick.

“Ahhhhhh! ! ! ! !”

The blind old man let out a low growl and then opened his mouth, directly biting towards Zhou Ze.

Zhou Ze took a step back, turned sideways, and entered the ancestral hall. Meanwhile, the blind old man was bounced off the steps of the ancestral hall and fell down.

But then, the blind old man directly lay on the ground, his hands and feet supporting him on the ground, and his stomach was bulging.

Bang

The blind old man jumped over again,

zhou Ze opened his hands, and black mist surrounded him, trapping the blind old man. But Zhou Ze didn’t stab him to death with his nails, instead, he reached out and patted his face,

he asked,

“Tell me, what happened to this village!”

“Ahhhhhhhhh! ! ! !”

However, the blind old man seemed to have completely lost his mind. He kept struggling, trying to break free from Zhou Ze’s restraints and bite Zhou Ze.

There was nothing he could do. Zhou Ze could only kick him, sending him flying again.

Just like last time, the blind old man bounced up after landing on the ground. Black Juice kept coming out of the corners of his mouth. There were also tree bark and grass root fragments inside.

Obviously, for a long time, he was hungry enough to eat these things.

And it was also at this time..,

it was unknown when it began, but villagers slowly gathered outside the ancestral hall one after another. Their expressions were numb, and they all staggered over.

There was the old grandfather carrying a hoe..,

there was the little girl carrying a candy person..,

there was the widow eating her own hair,

there was the old woman with the cloth shoes,

there was the young couple eating their own meat,

there were many, many people,

they gathered at the entrance of the ancestral hall one by one,

their gazes were fixed on Zhou Ze. They were hungry. They were very, very hungry.

The little monkey was so frightened that he trembled. He jumped directly onto the altar table of the ancestral hall and trembled.

There were so many malicious ghosts..,

it was too terrifying..,

the murderous aura emitted from their bodies was enough to suffocate people. The moment they stood there, the sky seemed to be covered by a dark cloud.

Zhou ze clenched his teeth and asked,

“I know that you are very hungry, but I really want to walk out of here with someone who can still think clearly and speak a little. Tell me, what exactly is wrong with you.

“I’m here to help you guys, to help you get rid of your pain. Even if you guys have become like this now, it’s not completely impossible for you to Reincarnate!”

Zhou ze said very seriously and sincerely,

and..,

the spot that had not been in pain for a long time started to hurt,

zhou ze subconsciously reached out and grabbed his chest.

He had almost forgotten about its existence,

it hadn’t hurt for a long time,

before Tang Shi left, she said to herself that she was already used to living a carefree life. So now, did I start speaking of my conscience again?

Yes,

speaking of my conscience..,

because Zhou Ze didn’t have the heart to completely destroy the last hope of the entire village. Eighty years ago, they were already very miserable, just like the 300,000 souls in Nanjing.

Therefore, as long as there was a glimmer of hope, Zhou Ze still hoped that they would have a chance to enter Samsara again.

It was also because of this that Zhou Ze had the hope of taking a fluke, hoping to find another clear-headed person in this village and obtain some clues.

Now, he was surrounded by the entire village, losing the opportunity to advance and retreat that he had previously grasped.

If he wanted to charge out, he could do so, but he reckoned that he would have to enter that state again after being bitten by the malicious ghosts,

then, he would have to be paralyzed and heavily injured for a long period of time.

This was not worth it,

it was also very foolish,

it was a foolish act and choice,

therefore, his conscience hurt again.

“Roar!”

“Hungry!”

“Eat him!”

“Eat!”

No one seriously responded to Zhou Ze’s words,

they swarmed forward together and rushed over.

Zhou Ze’s ten fingernails kept flying, and one evil spirit after another was violently thrown out by him. However, they seemed to be endless. Even if they were scattered, they would soon appear in a corner of the village and continue to rush over to join the battle.

Zhou Ze was basically facing a group of undead legion that could be resurrected continuously!

“Bang!”

“Bang!”

The ancestral hall continued to take hits,

the floor tiles on the ground also began to crack,

finally, after Zhou ze heavily smashed a malicious spirit onto the ground,

a string of floor tiles under his feet completely collapsed,

however, under the tiles,

a large expanse of sparkling white rice appeared,

zhou Ze was stunned,

all the malicious spirits present were also stunned,

the Rice was definitely fake,

the village had long been flattened, and even a school had been built,

but the scene here was real.

This meant..,

that when everyone in the village was starving..,

under the ancestral hall of this village..,

there was indeed so much food hidden!

Zhou Ze squatted down, reached out and grabbed a handful of rice, and waved it at the malicious spirits in front of him,

he said,

“Eat it, you won’t be hungry after eating it, and then… you’ll be on your way.”

However..,

the malicious spirits in the ancestral hall did not move. They seemed to have no feelings for the rice,

their gazes only paused on the rice for a moment,

then, they all fell on Zhou Ze at the same time.

They did not eat rice,

but they were hungry,

so..,

they could only eat Zhou Ze!

Zhou Ze really felt so angry that he laughed,

what the hell,

am I so delicious?
