Nightmare Attack

Listening to Li Bai's almost last words, the fat man grabbed her hand and his eyes were red, tears were rolling inside, his lips were trembling, and he couldn't say a word.

What Li Bai said was the optimal solution. It was not wise to let Shao Tong be the scapegoat. Everyone knew it, but emotionally speaking, the person who no one wanted to leave was Li Bai.

There was a commotion outside the courtyard gate, as if many people were approaching the courtyard. The sound of the soles of their shoes scraping against the ground was long and annoying, as if everyone was rubbing their feet on the ground without leaving the ground.

"It's too late, give me that bowl of rice!"

Li Bai struggled to sit up. She was also afraid of death, but now all she could do was not to drag down her friends, King Fugui of Jiangcheng and Yao, Shunyu, and their journey was not easy. Unfortunately, her journey to accompany the three of them ended here. .

Jiang Cheng took out the wooden sign from his body and stuffed it into Li Bai's pocket. "Although I don't know the function of this wooden sign, it may be useful if you carry it with you."

Holding the bowl of white rice, Li Bai tremblingly picked up the chopsticks. Just when she had accepted her fate, a hand grabbed her hand and took off her bowl at the same time.

"You..." Li Bai looked at this person doubtfully.

Shao Tong held the bowl in one hand, pointed to Li Bai's pocket with the other, and said calmly: "Don't be so anxious to die, I can translate the words on that sign.

"Can you translate?" Fatty said with joy, "Then why didn't you say it before?"

Tang Qisheng and Zhu Jie's faces turned pale with anger. Jiang Cheng glanced at Shao Tong and said nothing. Zhang Qizheng looked at Shao Tong and nodded, "You are so scheming. You are testing us. If so, we are determined to use you as a scapegoat." , you will die with this secret, and we will forever lose the opportunity to interpret the wooden sign. "

Shao Tong smiled and did not give Zhang Qi any face, "Old guy, you and these two idiots should thank Brother Jiang and Miss Li Bai. Without them, all of you will die!"

When did Tang Qisheng and Zhu Jie feel this angry? His fists clenched, but because of the information Shao Tong said, he did not dare to do anything to him.

"You better not lie to us, otherwise believe me, your end will be ugly." Tang Qisheng said with a sneer at Shao Tong.

After taking the wooden sign, Shao Tong pointed to one side of the wooden sign and said, "This side is the upright side, and it says that the living are opening the way." Then he turned the sign over and said, "This side is the reverse side, and the top side is that the dead are returning to their souls."

"This sign is not only the key to Daotou Village, but also an indispensable item for the resurrection ceremony. With this sign, as long as it is used properly, Miss Li Bai may not die tonight." Shao Tong said firmly.

Seeing that everyone didn't believe it, Shao Tong didn't talk nonsense. He picked up the sign, faced it face to face, put it into his pocket, and then took it out to show it to everyone.

The fat man took a look and saw nothing wrong, but this was all within Shao Tong's expectation. The second time he turned the sign over in front of everyone, turned it upside down, and then put the sign back into his pocket. But when they took it out again, everyone finally realized something was wrong.

"Why...why is this sign turned back again?" The fat man's eyes widened. He clearly remembered that he put it back upside down, but when he took it out, it was right side up again.

Shao Tong took a deep breath and his expression became solemn, "The problem lies in this sign. This is not an ordinary wooden sign. It is a self-examination sign used by corpse exorcists in western Hunan."

"It is said that the most fearful thing in the corpse removal industry is not the dead corpses, but the corpses of living people. The so-called living corpses are the corpses sent by the family members who are not completely dead. However, due to the medical science at that time, To the extent that some people who are not fully dead are also treated as corpses, it is a taboo to drive away such corpses.”

"People like this who only have half a breath left can't help but struggle, and will soon die on the road to remove corpses. These people suffered this disaster before their life span was over, and they have great resentment in their hearts. In addition, most of the paths chosen by the corpse removers are In some remote places with few people, once the high mountains and dense forests are contaminated with some yin energy, it is very easy for the corpses to appear as corpses. Ordinary corpse collectors have no way to deal with them, and they often die miserably in the end. "

"It wasn't until the appearance of the body test card that everything changed. Put the body test card on the delivered corpse, and you can tell whether it's alive or dead, even if you only have half a breath left."

"The sign has two sides. The front side is for life, which is called the Life Gate. The back side is for burial, and is also called the Death Gate. The specific method is to put the sign on the Life Gate up and put it into the clothes of the corpse. If it still shows the Life Gate when it is taken out, then this person He is still alive, even if only half of his body is left, he must still have breath. "

"On the other hand, if the door of life is put in and the door of death is taken out, then the person is definitely dead and can be carried away with confidence."

Shao Tong's explanation was very vivid and everyone could understand it. Moreover, judging from the level of detail, Shao Tong had definitely not just discovered this. What he said before was not a bluff. He did know a lot of information about this mission. It should be Lu Qin. It was revealed to him inadvertently, or it was some night watchman.

Jiang Cheng didn't have time to listen to his detailed analysis. The sound of footsteps had already reached the door of the courtyard. "Stop talking nonsense. Just tell us what we should do?"

"This body test sign can verify life and death, and the villagers also rely on this sign to tell whether we have been tricked. As long as we find a way to work on the sign, let the door that should be life become the door of death, and Li Bai fakes his death. After fooling the villagers, I think it’s not that important whether I eat the bowl of rice or not.”

Looking at Shao Tong's face, Jiang Cheng sneered, "What I said before is pretty reliable, but as for that bowl of rice, I'm sure that I can't do it without eating it."

Just think about it and you will know that when the villagers came in and found that the rice in the bowl had not been moved, they then said that Li Bai was dead. These villagers were ghosts, but they were not idiots.

Moreover, the villagers were carrying straw on their heads. Jiang Cheng could see clearly that there was probably a connection between the straw and the evil white rice. The villagers were not that easy to fool.

There were knocks on the door, very slowly, and the second knock came a long time after the first knock, but the pressure it brought was not big at all. The fat man could even imagine how stiff the arm knocking on the door was.

If these villagers do not get satisfactory answers after opening the door, it is not ruled out that they will directly take off their disguises and kill them all.

"Brother Jiang, how about you let them stabilize the villagers first while we stay to deal with this matter?" Shao Tong winked at Jiang Cheng.

Jiang Cheng agreed, and soon only he and Shao Tong were left in the room, as well as Li Bai, who was gradually losing consciousness. She was completely holding on.

"Huh -" Shao Tong breathed a sigh of relief, "You are right, that bowl of rice must be eaten. I can't solve the rice problem, but you can."

"Me?" Jiang Cheng raised his eyebrows.

Shao Tong stretched out his hand and pointed at Jiang Cheng, then slowly lowered it, and finally stopped at Jiang Cheng's shadow, "To be precise, it can."
