Chapter 456: Once Upon a Time in the Town

This guy clearly has a ghost in his heart, but I'm just joking with him, and it's definitely impossible to hold on to the little tail and crush a topic he doesn't want to talk about.

I'm not stupid, and of course I won't do this kind of satisfying myself to offend others.

Seeing that the old wolf was some distance away from me, I beckoned to him and motioned for him to come.

The old wolf probably saw that my expression had become serious, and knew that I had something to talk about, so he didn't hesitate to come over.

I asked the old wolf what he had come out of the mouths of the two captives, and asked him to tell him in detail what he had heard.

The old wolf said that it was thanks to Sif's late start, when the two of them were killed, he had already said almost everything that should be said, and he was also having a headache about how to deal with them next, but he didn't expect that because of Sif's reasons, Lilith directly turned them out, so that the two hot potatoes were thrown out.

When I said this, the old wolf's expression was extremely relaxed, and his tone was also very casual, and I couldn't help frowning a few times when I listened to his words, but I didn't say much.

This guy simply regards human life as a mustard, and it is not enough in the inland sea, if we need to go in and out of the open sea often in the future, his temperament must be changed.

After casually saying a few words of gossip, the old wolf quickly got to the point.

The old wolf said that under the square in the center of the town, there was a reverse city, where most of the townspeople were now hidden, and only eight women who were used as bait were left in the city, and the women who could survive two days and nights would be living sacrifices to the gods.

Speaking of sacrifices and gods, we must mention the madman named Guo Kan.

In the eyes of the locals, Guo Kan is indeed a madman, he talks all day long, often makes some unbearable actions, scolds the street for no reason, runs fruitfully, throws feces on himself, and attacks passers-by at will, he has done this kind of thing a lot, the locals hate him, but they are extremely afraid of him.

Almost every few decades, someone will try to eradicate Guo Kan, but everyone who rushed into Guo Kan's house with sticks and torches can't get out of that house alive, these people sometimes go alone, sometimes in groups of three or five, sometimes dozens of people gather together to besiege Guo Kan, but as long as you enter that house, you will disappear from then on, and you will not see anyone dead or dead.

And that's why the townspeople don't dare to enter that building.

Even if you don't enter that building, as long as you intend to murder Guo Kan and take action, it won't take half a month to die of a violent illness.

What's even more strange is that whenever someone tries to kill Guo Kan, Guo Kan is extremely excited, he seems to be looking forward to others doing this, but at the same time, as long as others don't mess with him, he won't take the initiative to harm people's lives, and sometimes he attacks passers-by on the street, and he won't cause too deep damage to the other party.

In the five or six years before Guo Kan's disappearance, he had an assistant, who was from outside, and Guo Kan seemed to be kind to him, chatting with him from time to time about his research.

Guo Kan told him that the humans here are all lower creatures, they are like ant colonies that he keeps in glass dishes, and the reason why he didn't kill them all is like scientists don't kill their research subjects.

After this remark was reported, some townspeople discovered that whenever Guo Kan was not crazy, he always liked to sit alone in a dark corner, staring intently at the pedestrians on the street.

That kind of focused, yet condescending look is not like looking at one's own kind, but more like looking at bacteria in a petri dish.

In addition, the townspeople also found that every once in a while, Guo Kan's assistant would become different from before, and the tone, temperament, and demeanor of his speech had changed, as if he had changed a person, only his appearance and body type, as well as his submissive eyes, would never change.

For the townspeople, Guo Kan is both a nasty madman and a terrifying plague god, but at the same time, he is also the survival of the townspeople.

Before his disappearance, every daily necessities, every piece of bread, every sip of tea, every grain of salt and sugar used by the townspeople was taken from Guo Kan's basement.

Guo Kan has two basements in the city, one is located under his own small building, and the other is a large warehouse buried deep under the castle, and every once in a while, Guo Kan will distribute the contents of the basement to the townspeople, although the townspeople do not want to receive his affection, but without the supplies he provides, they really can't survive.

And Guo Kan's behavior seems to confirm from another level that the people here are indeed just experimental subjects in his captivity.

In the local concept of time, Guo Kan disappeared ten years ago, because he was the source of supplies for the entire town, and as soon as he disappeared, the townspeople panicked, without him, it means that when all the food is eaten, the townspeople will starve to death.

During the time of his disappearance, there was indeed some turmoil in the town, but this turmoil was quickly quelled by a man named Austin, who brought everyone together to find a solution to the dilemma at hand, rather than fighting each other and hastening the town's demise.

From then on, Austin was the leader of all the townspeople, and still is.

At that time, Austen made three preparations, first leading people to try to reclaim the fields on the outskirts of the town, and at the same time having another group of people cut down wood and build ships to find a way to the outside world, and finally, he also arranged a group of more clever people to search for "secret passages" to the outside world in the city.

Austin believes that since Guo Kan claims that all the supplies are brought by himself from the outside world, there must be a channel in the city to connect with the outside world.

Since the townspeople had absolutely no experience in cultivating the land, after several attempts, the plan to reclaim the fertile land was almost declared bankrupt.

Those who claim to be clever have not found the secret passage left by Guo Kan.

As everyone fell into despair, a small boat large enough to hold seven or eight people was built.

At that time, the townspeople had already understood one thing, that is, because Guo Kan had raised them for a long time, they had lost almost all their labor skills, or rather, since birth, they basically did not do any work except eating, sleeping, reading, and writing.

It's already a miracle that such a group of lazy people have not degraded their muscles.

The boat that everyone worked so hard to build might not be able to withstand too much wind and waves, and once someone leaves the town on such a boat, there is a good chance that they will die at sea.

At the moment when everyone was hesitating, it was Austin who stepped forward again, called a few cronies, and decided to go to sea himself.

Before leaving, Austin instructed the rest of the people that if he never returned, everyone should not give up hope, it was a big deal to build another ship, send a few more people out, as long as they continued to build ships and find a way out, one day, everyone could leave this ghost place.
