Chapter 66: The Old Monster
Wait a minute.
What do they mean by that?
Didn't sleep in this room at all last night?
That's not right, didn't I see them last night?
I casually asked, "When did you leave?" and we didn't even notice!"
Cuong smiled and said, "We left in less than half an hour when you returned to your room, and you slept pretty fast!"
When Ah Qiang finished saying this, Sun Mingyue next to him was in a hurry to pack his luggage, so he called all four of them back, and we didn't continue to talk.
And Wang Ruohan was also anxious to investigate the fragments.
So everyone parted ways in the corridor for a while.
But in terms of timing, if they had left half an hour after we had separated, it would have been 2 o'clock in the middle of the night when I looked at my room last night.
That means that what I saw last night was not theirs!
When I talked about this, my scalp was a little numb, I opened the door and walked into the yard, and then I saw the boss actually doing tai chi in the yard.
I said hello to me, and the boss said, "You got up so early, little brother, are you still living here today?"
Since we didn't know when we would be able to find the fragment, we didn't check it out for the time being.
I replied casually, "Stay here for the time being, I'll come back in the evening, don't mind!"
The boss replied with a smile: "Of course I don't mind, there are no people in my hotel, the longer you stay, the better, where are you going today?"
Wang Ruohan said beside him: "Is there such a villa in this village, let's go and visit!"
When the boss heard this, he fell to the ground, quickly stood up, looked at the two of us with frightened eyes, and said, "You guys are crazy, what do you have to do with the people in his villa?"
At this moment, Wang Ruohan and I looked at each other, and I felt that there was something in the boss's words.
I shook my head and replied, "It doesn't matter, I'm going to that place to find something!"
When he said this, the boss sweated out of his head.
I sensed something was wrong, so I helped the owner back to the hotel bar.
I patted the boss and said, "Sir, is there anything wrong with that villa?"
The boss nodded, then took a sip of tea before relenting.
The boss told me that the village is now all because of the villa.
When I came to this village, I did find it.
Every house is closed, and seeing us is like seeing a ghost, which is very peculiar.
And although this is a village, it basically belongs to a natural village without a name and surname.
That is, there is not even a village chief.
To put it bluntly, it's like a few wandering people living in this area, just dealing with it.
And every house looks extremely strange, and everyone is very wary of the living.
The boss patted me on the shoulder and told me.
There were no people living in that villa.
This village is a cursed village, and all natives will be forever strong, and the whole village will never be able to escape.
It is said that a few decades ago, a monster came to the mountain, calling himself the old demon of Montenegro.
This sounds a bit like a joke, the old demon of Montenegro is a character in Journey to the West after all.
But I still listened quietly to the boss.
After this old demon of Montenegro came to this village, he has been entrenched in the villa.
Every day and every night, he has to absorb the yang energy of the village.
And a curse was placed that the people of this village would live in the village for generations, and they would not be allowed to leave.
Although it has to absorb yang energy every day, it will not kill the people in the village, because this old monster needs the people in the village to continuously provide yang energy, so there is no need for corpses.
On the contrary, if the people of the village live in the village, they will remain in such a weak state every day.
It doesn't die, and if someone can't stand it and wants to leave the village, then they will be cursed by this old monster and die violently less than two kilometers away from the village.
So people have been living in the village in order to survive.
Later, someone once put forward an opinion, wanting to find someone who can do it, and find a way to get rid of this old monster.
However, the people in the village cannot go out of the village, and it is difficult to contact the outside world.
In addition, the people in this village have weak yang energy, although the old monsters will not kill them, but because of their weak bodies and diseases, it is easy to die like this, and their lifespan will never be long.
So the whole village was in a state of panic.
The main thing is that the old monster can transform into a villager in the village, and go to the village to constantly choose its own prey.
Those who are chosen will be absorbed a large amount of yang energy and even tortured.
Therefore, every household in this village knows each other, and if you meet a strange stranger, you will basically hide far away, and you have to go as far as you want!
The story is over, but I think it sounds a bit mysterious.
This youkai had never heard of that before.
I looked at the villa in the distance, and there were some grains in my heart, and then the boss warned me: "Young man, don't go, even if you have something important, it is definitely not as important as your life, you still live in the village honestly for two days, where should you come from, where to go back!"
I listened to the boss and felt like it was a story, but if you think about the state of the village, there are indeed traces.
If this is the case, then it is reasonable to say why the people in the village are hiding.
When I thought of this, I fooled the boss and said: "Since you have said so, then I will not go, this village is like a dead man, giving people an eerie feeling, I am going to wander around the village, in fact, I am a reporter, I want to find some materials, I don't mind if I record a video or something!"
As soon as the boss heard that I changed his mind, he smiled and said: "Of course you are welcome, you don't have to worry that this old monster has a characteristic, that is, it specializes in dealing with people in the village, you as an outsider, no matter how you move around in the village, as long as you don't go to the villa, don't offend this monster, then all this will be safe, maybe do a good job of investigation, in the future you will bring a master to destroy this old monster!"
I smiled and nodded, and left the hotel, but I kept thinking about one thing along the way.
Why don't you come here with the white eyebrows we saw before?
Obviously it's very close to the roadside, as long as you enter the village, can it be said that this monster is so powerful that even the white eyebrow Taoist is helpless?
