Chapter 42: Evil in the Night

In the future, if you cultivate in the underground space, you can achieve twice the result with half the effort. Later, I found that I became less and less inclined to cooked food, and was particularly fond of raw meat that had just been killed.

However, our family is not able to eat meat every day, and there is raw blood to drink. So, when I couldn't stand the hunger, I started hunting the poultry raised by the villagers at night. Later, his desire for blood became stronger and stronger, and what was even more terrifying was that he always couldn't help but want to suck the blood of living people. Especially when you smell the breath of a living person, you have the urge to rush up, and the more hungry you are, the stronger your desire becomes.

I was afraid that one day I would not be able to help but hurt my family. So, for the safety of my family, I can't take care of that much, I can't let myself starve, I'm afraid I'm going to lose consciousness.

In the beginning, I could barely suppress my bloodthirsty thirst by killing a chicken or duck in the village every night. Later, his appetite grew, and he was only interested in the blood of living creatures, and he did not even like to eat raw meat. I've tried to suppress my desires, but when I can't drink a sip of blood, I want to go crazy.

As more and more poultry were lost in the village, this strange thing slowly attracted everyone's attention. They didn't know that I did it, and thought it was a nearby beast that had stolen the poultry.

Later, the villagers found the poultry carcasses that I had discarded, all of which were intact, which made them even more worried.

In the past, there were also incidents of loss of poultry in the village, mostly by nearby wild animals. But the strange thing of killing poultry and not eating it has never happened.

Whatever the beast did it, everyone decided to catch and kill the beast that was stealing the poultry. The usual life of the people is not very rich, and the poultry they raise is always lost inexplicably, so everyone has to take measures.

Later, the elders decided to arrange for the villagers to take turns patrolling the night until they caught the beast that stole food. In the beginning, I didn't dare to go out at night to steal poultry for fear of being discovered.

However, I couldn't stand the smell of blood without drinking blood for days, and it was so unpleasant that it was like thousands of insects and ants biting at me. After enduring it for a few days, I decided to take the plunge.

In the middle of the night, I slipped out of the house and into a dark alley. Since my hearing is much sharper than normal, I carefully listen to the movements around me to avoid encountering those who patrol the night.

This time, I chose a remote resident in the village, because I was afraid that I would make too much noise and be discovered. I hid in the shadows and watched for a while, hesitating until I couldn't wait any longer. I got into his chicken coop, quickly strangled a fowl, and couldn't wait to leave, so I found a corner of his house and squatted down and bit it with my teeth. The long-lost nectar ran down my throat and into my stomach, and it was so delicious.

I was so caught up in that bloodthirsty feeling that I didn't even notice someone was coming. A familiar voice came from behind me, and it came from my little iron pillar brother.

Since I was a child, I have been playing with Brother Tiezhu, and when someone bullied me, it was Brother Tiezhu who helped me out. I remember when I was a child, other children disliked me for picking it up, not an orthodox villager in the village. No child wanted to play with me, and they beat me all the time. At that time, every time I was beaten, Brother Tiezhu stood in front of me and beat those children away for me.

No one plays with me, so Brother Tiezhu often plays with me. Speaking from the heart, Brother Tiezhu is like my own brother.

When I heard someone call me, I habitually turned my head, forgetting that my mouth was full of blood. What I saw was Brother Tiezhu's face full of panic, because my mouth was full of blood, and there were even slices of raw meat in my mouth. The way I looked scared him, he even sat down on the ground. I tried to walk over and pick up Brother Tiezhu, but when he saw me walking towards him, he was so frightened that he stepped back, and even kept shouting for help.

I wanted to explain to him, who knew that he couldn't listen to anything, and was bent on escaping. And at this time, there seems to be a voice that has been echoing in my head, and that is that I can't let him run away.

If he escapes, everyone will think of me as a monster, kill him, drink his blood, human blood is the most delicious. Under the repeated hints of that voice, I actually pounced on the fallen iron pillar brother, biting the artery in his neck with my own teeth, and greedily drinking the blood in his body.

Under my greedy invasion, Brother Tiezhu's vitality passed quickly. Eventually, he was turned into a dried corpse.

And when I regained consciousness, I remembered what I had done, I killed my best friend with my own mouth. I fell to my knees in agony and slapped myself incessantly, I was a beast.

I wanted to turn myself in, confess my mistakes to the elders, and ask for forgiveness from the villagers. However, I had only taken two steps before I stood again. To be honest, I don't dare, I'm a monster, a monster that sucks human blood. No one will forgive me, not even me. The elders will not forgive me, and perhaps even my parents and sister will be angry.

At that moment, I hesitated, on the one hand, I killed my brother with my own hands, and on the other hand, I was afraid to admit my mistake. I didn't know what I was going to do, so I knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing to Brother Tiezhu, hoping that he would forgive me.

At this time, I heard several people coming towards me. It must have been too much of a commotion just now, and as a result, the other night watchmen were brought in. That's when I told myself I had to run away, or they would see me and I would be completely exposed.

So I ran to my house as fast as I could. And, after making sure that no one had noticed me along the way, I quietly slipped back to my room, wrapped myself in the quilt, and wrapped myself tightly, not wanting to hear the slightest sound outside.

Not long after I returned to my room, I heard the noisy sound of gongs coming from inside the village, and heard people going from house to house shouting to get up. I knew they must have found Iron Pillar's body, and I didn't fall asleep but I had to lie on the bed and pretend to be asleep.

After a while, someone knocked on my door. Listening to the voice, the person who came should be the grandfather. The eldest grandfather is an elder in the village, and he is usually kind to people and is very respected by the villagers. And I was like a thief, lying in bed and eavesdropping on their conversation.

"Qing'er, his father, get up quickly, something big is happening in the village", the grandfather shouted and knocked on the door of my house anxiously. Hearing someone knocking on my door, my father and mother quickly got up. When they opened the door, they saw that it was the grandfather, and hurriedly asked: "Old man, what's wrong, what's going on, so anxious."
