Chapter 31: Depth and Battle
As soon as Long Yang approached the village, he met the woman he had been. Under his constant persuasion, the woman finally stopped crying and spoke intermittently.
Some time ago, several villagers in the village died one after another, all of whom were originally in good health, and suddenly died. The successive deaths cast an atmosphere of fear over the village, and some villagers even left the village to take refuge from the disaster, which is what Longyang saw when he passed by.
The woman's husband is one of the deceased and one of the resurrected of the dead. "After my man died, I buried him in the cemetery behind the village with the help of the villagers. But who knows, who knows that on the night of the first seven days, he actually came back alive! The woman recounted, as if she had returned to that night.
"Isn't the first seven, the first seven the moment when the ghost comes home?" Long Yang asked in surprise.
"Yes! I was so stupefied that I thought it was his ghost back. The woman said with a sigh of relief.
"And then?" Long Yang continued to ask.
"After all, it's your own man, even if it's a real ghost, you can withstand some of it." The woman relented, then continued. I tried to talk to him, but he answered in a natural way, not like a ghost. He said he was hungry, so I cooked for him, and the moment I served him food, I touched his body, which was a real body, not a ghost. ”
"Also, when he entered the door, I found him covered in mud, as if he had just crawled out of a grave. I asked him, and he said he didn't know, so I didn't dare to ask any further. ”
"Wouldn't it be nice for your man to come back?" In order to let the woman say the specific situation, Long Yang did not give her a chance to think, and kept asking questions.
"Yes good. That night he said he was tired and went to bed. I sat at the table all night because I was afraid. By the next day, all the people in the village who had died a few days earlier had come back to life, and everyone thought that God had mercy on us and let our relatives return to us. The family was very happy, by the way, when you came to ask for directions, my man had already returned. "No wonder when Long Yang came to the village for the second time to investigate, the woman took the initiative to take the stubble and showed the way for Long Yang. Her man is back, and her mood is naturally better. The village returned to its former calm, and the villagers returned to their former quiet.
"Where did your man become?"
"I realize that he may not have been resurrected at all, but is still a dead man!"
"How?"
"Since he came back, his temperament has changed completely, and he has almost nothing to say to me, he sleeps during the day and goes out at night, and does not do any farm work. And I found out that when he came out at night, he went to the cemetery behind the village. I secretly followed and found that the resurrected people in the village were all there, kneeling in the cemetery, and whispering in their mouths. When the woman said this, her body trembled. It seems that she was really scared, and now she is scared when she talks about it.
"That doesn't mean he's a dead man, does it?" has already involved the real situation of the matter, and Longyang needs to have an in-depth understanding.
"You don't know, he has a rancid smell on him, and it's getting stronger. How can a normal person have such a taste, only a dead person will be like this. I remember that after my mother died, I smelled it when I was at the wake of the spirit. "It's not easy for a woman to think of this step, it seems that she is not an unreasonable woman.
"What else?" The woman didn't say everything, and it was inconvenient for Long Yang to express his opinion, just to be an audience.
"Also, there is a man in a black robe from our village, and it is he who my man is kneeling in the cemetery behind the village." The woman hesitated to tell another secret.
"Do you know this black-robed man?"
"I don't know, I just looked at it once, and I also took a sneak look at it in the cemetery, and I ran home in fright."
From the woman's story, Long Yang got a few messages. One is that the sudden death of the villagers in the village had another reason, not because they broke the barrier; The second is: the dead crawl out of the grave and return to life in the village, but they have become the walking dead, not their original selves; The third is: when the black-robed man came to the village, he had a way to control these resurrected people, make them kneel to him, and listen to his command; The fourth is: the three scouts are in distress, which are the work of these resurrected people, and they should be instructed by the black-robed people; The fifth is: What is the purpose of the black-robed man? Why did they start with these villages, and why did they control so many dead people?
A series of questions lingered in Long Yang's mind, some of which had been confirmed, and some of which were still clueless.
"Since you have told me all these things, indicating that you have chosen to trust me, I just want to ask you one question, if your man is still a dead body, are you willing to keep him with you?" After thinking about it, Long Yang said to the woman beside him.
"This?" When the woman heard Long Yang's question, she hesitated for a long time and looked up at Long Yang. "My mother said, dust to dust, dust to earth, the dead should be buried in the earth. If he is dead, or if he is dead, then let him go quietly. ”
Hearing the woman's answer, Long Yang couldn't help but nod appreciatively. In such a remote village, a peasant woman can see it so clearly.
"I don't think you're very old, will you have a way?" The woman looked at Long Yang in front of her suspiciously, not believing that he would have much ability as a teenager.
"Let me tell you clearly, your man was originally a dead man, but he was used by others to become a substitute for death and do bad things for others. If you make up your mind, I can help you. At this time, Long Yang no longer needs to hide this information, otherwise he will harm this kind woman.
"Really?" Hearing Long Yang's clear answer, the woman didn't dare to be sure of what she thought before.
Long Yang didn't speak, just looked at her and nodded.
"It turned out to be true, it turned out to be true! My man is really dead, and who let him die can't live in peace! "The woman goes from fear to sadness, from sadness to doubt, from doubt to conviction, from conviction to anger.
"I don't know what made him like this, or who caused it." Long Yang didn't want this woman to know too much, the more she knew, the more dangerous it was.
"Since it's a fact, you can help my man get out of the sea of suffering!" After the woman finished speaking, tears flowed out involuntarily, but there was no sad expression on her face.
"Where's your man?"
"Sleeping at home, it's getting dark, he should be up soon."
"Quick! Go to your house! Without further ado, Long Yang made a quick decision and decided to start solving these dead people from this woman's house.
When I came to the woman's door, it was already dark. The woman hesitated to open the door, and the smell of rotten stench came to her nostrils, making people sick to their stomachs.
On the bed of the woman's house lay a man, whose face was not the color of pale, but yellowish, old earthy yellow. The clothes were fairly complete, but they were covered in dirt, up and down.
Long Yang stood in front of the bed, raised his right hand, and slapped it on the forehead of the man on the bed. Suddenly, the man on the bed opened his eyes and saw Long Yang's movements, he put his hands up to resist Long Yang's slap. Immediately after, he stood up straight from the bed and pinched Long Yang's neck with both hands.
It was already dark, the man had woken up, and he realized that Long Yang was dangerous to him and launched an attack on Long Yang. Long Yang dodged back, dodging the attack of the man's hands. At the same time, Long Yang flew and kicked straight and hit him on the left rib.
With a bang, the man's body shook slightly, and he didn't receive a heavy blow, but Long Yang was resisted back, and his right foot was slightly numb.
No wonder the investigators said that these manpower was so large that it was difficult to resist, and they were caught and knocked unconscious. At night, they become walking dead, painless and unconscious. Long Yang is not a vegetarian either, he was just a little careless just now. But to knock him down right away, it will take a lot of tricks.
The best thing to do at the moment was to hit him in the head with his right hand that melted into the black stone, knocking out the parasitic soul inside him. There is a similar record in the "Detective Minutes", and Long Yang decided to give it a try.
"Hey, hey!" An eerie laugh erupted from the man's mouth, but there was no expression on his face.
Not good! These people don't have a special way to get in touch, do they?! Thinking of this, Long Yang couldn't help but be shocked in his heart. Be quick! Otherwise, things will happen.
Long Yang rushed forward again, flying and attacking his body again. Although the man was a walking corpse, he moved quickly, looked at Long Yang's attack part, blocked with his cross arm, and kicked at Long Yang's body at the same time.
At this time, Long Yang was in the air, and it seemed that he couldn't dodge this heavy blow, but in fact, it was a trap deliberately set by Long Yang. Although this kind of person has infinite strength and fast movements, their minds are not too flexible, which is a bold guess by Long Yang. It was this speculation that he took a risk.
Seeing that this kick was approaching, Long Yang's body made a perfect twist in the air, appeared on the side of the man, and slammed his right hand into his head.
"Poof!" After the man was hit by Long Yang, he immediately broke into pieces like a clay sculpture and scattered on the ground, only the shabby clothes proved his existence just now.
"Ahh Long Yang looked at his right hand in surprise, he was not surprised by the ability of his right hand, but he noticed that a ghost entered his right hand, which was beyond his expectations.
This is not the time to find out the reason, Long Yang pulled up the woman who was stunned on the spot and rushed out of the house. In the distance behind the village, a group of people were running frantically towards it. They really have a special way of getting in touch, and the people who come are just something else in the village.
"Quick, run with me!" Long Yang shouted.
"No, I'm not leaving, you go quickly!" The woman refused to leave the village, and she nervously urged Long Yang to leave.
"If you don't go, you'll be in danger!" Long Yang couldn't watch this ordinary woman being hurt, he grabbed the woman's arm and was about to run out of the village.
"No, I'm really not running! This is where I live, this is my home! You go! The woman sat down on the ground, determined not to leave her home.
The people of the village were getting closer and closer, and Long Yang looked at the woman sitting on the ground and left the place helplessly. "I'll be back!" Now I have to choose to leave for the time being, and return here after dawn to continue the investigation.
