Chapter 394: Abrupt
"As if he had been robbed of his most beloved, the general went mad and searched for the knife, and soon he found an old house in front of it."
Zoro's face was even more gloomy, and the night was also extremely dark, except for the area covered by the firelight, there was no light to be seen around, and even the dim light of the stars was obscured by the jungle, and everyone gathered together, nervously looking at the man telling the story.
"It was a very old house, and the general had no impression of this house after spending most of the month in that village, but it was a dark and windy night, and the general couldn't tell whose house it was just by the appearance of the house, so he decided to go in and have a look."
"The door of the house is not closed, the owner of the house seems to be a down-and-out family, even the courtyard is open, through the small courtyard, you can see the white ribbon inside the house, such a strange scene, even the general feels a little hairy, because he knows very well, the whole village seems to have escaped, and the people who are still in this village should be the only one, but the general is an atheist, does not believe in gods, and also does not believe in ghosts, he holds a torch in his hand, and walks into the old house alone."
The sound of firewood crackling, there was no wind in the rainforest, but everyone felt that the back of their necks was cold, and the demon knife in Abyss's hand also had a strange color, and it seemed that they were also interested in Zoro's story.
"The general is wearing armor all over his body, and he has to be cautious, because the knife will not disappear on its own, and the whole village is alone, and if the knife is gone, then there is only one possibility..."
"That is, there must be other people in this village."
"That's right, the general doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, and the only person who takes the knife can be a person, but the general has no impression of the day the knife disappeared, if the other party wants to harm himself, it is impossible to just take the knife, thinking of this, the general is a little relieved, after all, as long as it is not the person sent by the opponent, he should not be in any danger."
"The door of the old house was pushed open one by one, and the general walked through the corridor, just like the other houses, the whole house was empty, and it didn't look like a person at all, and the general was surprised by the size of the house, and at the same time, he pushed open the innermost bedroom, and as soon as he opened the door, the general almost pulled out the long knife on his waist!"
"I saw that there was really someone in the house, and it was a woman wearing a white cloth!"
"Whew..."
"When he saw people, the general was not so scared, and his tense nerves were also relaxed, 'As long as it is a person, it is easy to say', the general thought to himself."
"But seeing that man's face, the general was even more surprised, because the woman in the center of the room was none other than his deceased wife!"
"Wow, !!" Wei and Usopp shouted at the same time, even Nami shrunk into a ball, Chopper had already covered his head with his hat, shivering in place, Zoro looked at the few people and smiled smugly, stretched out four fingers and shook it.
"Is the woman pretty?" Sanji didn't have time to interject.
"Of course." Zoro nodded, "The general's wife is one of his admirers, the general fell in love with her beauty, and the woman fell in love with the general's bravery, it was a match made in heaven, but due to the general's negligence in the rear, his enemies pointed the finger at his wife, after the negotiations broke down, no one saw the woman again, people said that she became a victim of the war, however, only a few people know that that the woman was not only a victim, The days in the enemy camp were far from what people could imagine, and she lived in dire straits all the time, and when the day came to negotiate, she was faced with the general's ruthless face. β
"There is no way, the general gave up that woman for the sake of the country and the overall situation, but in the eyes of women, giving up does not mean abandoning without saying a word, she insisted to this day, but the general couldn't even say a word of 'hard work', she was desperate."
"'You... Are you...' The general silently pronounced the woman's name, and the woman raised her head and smiled softly, 'General, are you finally willing to look at the slave...', 'Are you here for her?' ββ
The woman pulled out a long black knife from behind her, and despite the darkness around her, the general could see the black blade in the light of the torch.
"'It's it... That's it...' The general remembered the purpose of his coming here, but at the moment he didn't care so much, and walked a few steps towards the woman, wanting to take her into his arms..."
The general did it, feeling the sonorous heartbeat of the woman, he couldn't say anything excitedly, the woman in his arms smiled sweetly, the general felt a little strange, looked down, but saw that the woman's belly was actually seven or eight months old.
"'You... This... Are you pregnant? The general said in amazement, excited and difficult to himself, but soon he realized that his wife had been away from him for several years, and even if she was pregnant with her own child, it was impossible..."
"'You...' The general was having a seizure, but he felt a chill behind his back, and there was still a woman's smile in front of him, the general turned his head with difficulty, but saw that the black long knife went straight through his abdomen, and even pierced the woman's stomach fiercely, and the lower abdomen that was seven or eight months pregnant was also pierced by the woman's own hands!"
"it!" At this time, even Sanji couldn't sit still, and scolded his mother, and the whole person bounced.
Sauron rolled his eyes and continued:
"'No!!' The general exclaimed, but saw the woman stand up indifferently, and in the blurred vision, the woman delicately pulled out the black long blade, and the black knife was pulled out of the woman's lower abdomen, and the tip of the knife was stained with blood, but the woman laughed even more crazy. β
"'Do you know what I did to the demons when I was on the other side of the demons!' The woman questioned in a hateful voice, her face became more and more distorted, and the blood stained by the long black knife quickly fell on the floor, and the blade did not leave a trace of it. β
"'No... No...' The general just repeated, shaking his head in pain, the woman's face became cold and resolute, and she shook the long knife in her hand hard, "You don't know, you don't deserve to know, as a machine spirit, I have nothing to do with you for a long time, and even this knife disdains to be stained with your blood!" ββ
"Later, there was no news of the general, and as the protagonist of the matter, the woman with the black knife, no one ever saw her again..."
Zoro let out a long breath and shook five fingers triumphantly.
"Just... That's it?! Sanji was stunned for a moment, and Zoro nodded as a matter of course, "Of course!" Or else? It's just a ghost story about demon knives, huh? β
"Hmmβ" Kirby, who had been listless from the beginning to the end, suddenly groaned, and from the moment Zoro spoke of the machine spirit, her expression became unnatural.
"What's wrong, Kirby?" Usopp looked at Kirby with trepidation, "I didn't expect Zoro to have a talent for ghost stories, but you weren't scared, it's really..."
"No, I was just thinkingβ" Kirby shook his head fiercely, turning his gaze to Zoro.
"Zoro, where did you hear this ghost story?"
