Chapter 377: They Are People
After listening to Xiao Xiao's words, An Xiao's face changed, her long eyebrows frowned slightly, and her eyes flashed with some incomprehensible looks.
Those terrible monsters were searching for something, and as soon as they saw something alive, they rushed up like crazy, tore it up, and swallowed it in their stomachs.
Xiao Xiao watched as the weak girl she saved during the day turned into a monster and frantically biting a live sheep, her fists clenched tightly, a good girl actually became such a terrible monster...... Xiao Xiao felt inexplicably sad in her heart, and she didn't know whether it was for that girl or for herself.
As time passed, it was close to dawn, and at the moment when the sky was just shining, all the monsters rushed in the direction of the outside of the village, mixed with the yellow sand in the wind, and soon disappeared.
"Do you want to catch up? I don't know if they have anything to do with Shen Yuqing......" An Ge asked softly.
Ann shook her head, looking at the direction where the monster disappeared, her eyes were a little deep, "No need, I probably already know where these monsters came from, let's go back to the inn......"
As soon as the four of them returned to the inn, they saw a shocking and terrifying scene, two monsters were biting a man in the hall, and that person they had seen was a merchant who lived in the inn. Now he was lying on the ground, his eyes wide open in horror, and he was extremely frightened. One of his hands fell a few paces away from him, bloody. The two monsters were slicing open the merchant's belly, escaping the entrails and gulping them in.
The two monsters noticed the four people, threw down the "food" in their hands, and quickly pounced on the four of them, until they were killed. But at this moment, there was a faint rooster cry from somewhere in the village, the two monsters hugged their heads in pain, curled up on the ground and shivered, a gust of choking smoke emanated from the two monsters, and as the smoke disappeared, the two terrible monsters gradually turned into two normal people, one was the innkeeper, and the other was the innkeeper's wife.
Their faces, hands, and clothes were covered in blood, and their hair was disheveled. At this time, the two people were no longer as ferocious as the monster just now, but curled up on the ground, staring at the four of Fei Yan in horror, and retreated one by one.
When the proprietress touched the corpse behind her that had just been eaten by them, she opened āāāā, m.ā.cā and screamed in horror, and tears kept flowing out of her eyes.
It was the innkeeper, although his body was trembling, he still pretended to be calm, "Who are you four, you obviously ate the drugged dinner last night, why...... Why are you awake at this time......"
"Because...... We're not human at all......" An Ge stepped forward, leaned down and smiled softly, his eyes became fierce in an instant, and a cold light flashed in the dim hall of the inn, and the innkeeper's right hand flew out of his original position, just falling right next to the dead merchant's hand.
An Ge looked at him screaming in pain, glanced at him coldly, and said, "What kind of monster are you, I can't even see your details. You monsters, who wear human skins during the day, become monsters that kill humans at night, it's disgusting......"
The proprietress cried and rushed up to hug the innkeeper, shouting hoarsely, "We are human, we are not monsters, we are human...... Really human......"
"People?" An Ge sneered, "Who have you ever seen who will become what you are?" You're really ......."
"Ange, let the boss lady go down." Fei Yan gently interrupted An Ge's words, and looked at the sobbing proprietress with a gentle look flashing in her eyes, "Don't be afraid, come out with everything you know, we all saw it just now, if you are out of your nature, you won't be afraid of collapsing like that, but what grievances are there?" ā
An stared at Fei Yan for a moment, then shook his head slightly, smiled mockingly, and then returned to his normal look and expression on his face, "Yes, don't be afraid, I know you are not demons, but why did you become the one we saw just now?" Why is this happening at night in this village? ā
Ann smiled lightly, waved her sleeves to clean the blood on the faces and bodies of the husband and wife, closed the door of the inn, and helped the husband and wife up to sit on the bench. Xiao Xiao sighed, picked up the innkeeper's right hand, which had been cut off by An Ge, and cast a spell to prepare to reconnect him.
The proprietress calmed down for a while, her voice still a little choked.
"We are really human beings, and we are forced to become like this."
"As a last resort?"
"That's right, our village...... Is it a village cursed by God, or ...... It's retribution...... The proprietress smiled sadly, her expression was very tired, and she seemed to have aged ten years all of a sudden, "Our ancestors migrated from a long time ago from a long time ago, they got lost in the desert, they thought they would die here, but they didn't want to find a spring here, so they settled down here temporarily, at first there were only a few people, and slowly developed to the current scale. According to the report, at first everything was good here, until one day...... A monster suddenly appeared in the village, he killed people, ate people, and overnight, a man in the village disappeared, and people found his monster-killed wife in his house, as well as a half-eaten child. Everyone worked together to capture and kill the monster, but they didn't expect that the monster would become the missing man after he died. Everyone thought that this was the end of the matter, but they didn't expect that more and more people in the village would become the monster, they would become monsters at night, kill people, eat people, and during the day they would become human again, and finally the whole village would become like this, as if they were cursed. ā
The proprietress shook her head painfully, "For thousands of years, this is the eternal curse here, a curse that no one can escape, some people try to leave here to escape, but after leaving here, they become monsters and are killed." There used to be a lot of people here, but now they are gradually withering into what they are now. A few sons and girls...... We...... We really don't want to kill people, hurt people, just ...... Just after turning into a monster...... We...... It's true...... I really can't control it...... As long as you see something alive, there will be an irrepressible urge in your body......" The proprietress said here, and couldn't help crying again, "So...... We will give each guest who stays at the inn and let them sleep until the next morning, and all of them will be safe......"
