Chapter Forty-Eight: The Ghoul Killing Incident in the Secret Room

Tonight is fine. There are two days left until the end of the trial mission.

As soon as the morning dawned, Yang Buwei led the team to push open the door of the old mansion and set off.

He found a mountain opener in a nearby house, the mountain opener was full of weight, and Yang Buwei had to use two hands to raise the mountain-opening knife. The other two survivors had also found their weapons, and they were armed with two pitchforks that could easily poke a hole in the wall.

"Brethren, come with me!" Yang Buwei waved his hand and rushed out of Heishui Village with his teammates.

Yang Buwei didn't know that ghouls would not appear during the day. But—

The weird-looking corpse demon can't be sure

At the head of the village, a crow stood on the gate of Heishui Village with its head tilted, and it watched as Yang Buwei led his teammates out of Heishui Village.

The crow opened its mouth and quacked.

"Gah! Ga! ”

Gray slept soundly in a house at the head of the village, and the crow's cry made his peaceful sleeping face a little more uncomfortable. He frowned and tossed and turned on the bed,

In the end, Gray finally couldn't bear it anymore and kicked the quilt covering his body: "Noisy crow!" ”

Zhang Xiang's eyes were dark circles, he pushed open the door and walked in, he hadn't slept all night last night. He spent sleepless nights in another room with the second dog in his arms.

Ergou yawned, it slept well yesterday, if it weren't for the smell of decay coming from under its feet, which made Ergou uncomfortable, Ergou would have nothing to find fault with.

The black cat slept in a small nest in the corner, curled up in a ball of yarn, and the wounds on its body were scabbed, and it looked like it would not be long before it woke up.

"Ah Wang!"

When the second dog saw the black cat, his eyes lit up, and he pounced on the black cat's belly.

"Meow!"

The black cat was suddenly awakened, it was still having a dream of reuniting with its owner, only to see a big yellow dog tear its dream and rush in.

It arched its back, the cat hair on its body exploded, and it came to the second dog with an unceremonious cat scratch.

"Wang!"

The second dog's face turned into a cat scratching board.

"Meow!"

The black cat caught it again. Ergou hurriedly retracted his head. Although it hurts to be scratched by the black cat, the second dog doesn't know why, and it is super excited now. It waged its tail and arched its nose back and forth, constantly tempting the black cat's angry edge.

"Little tanuki! You're awake! Gray's eyes lit up.

The black cat jumped onto a cupboard beside the bed, and Gray had placed the silver necklace he had picked up. The black cat picked up the silver necklace in its mouth, and it leaped over the window and into the street. In an instant, he was gone.

The two of them stared blankly at the black cat's flowing movements, they were stunned for a while, and finally Zhang Xiang spoke:

"This cat seems to be quite scared."

"Quack!" A black crow flew through the sky, and it once again stared at the black cat.

Ten seconds later, the black cat, which had just jumped out of the window, jumped back in a gray way. It has a silver necklace in its mouth and does not allow anyone to approach it.

Except for Ergou, no one knows why the black cat left and came back.

"Wow!"

Crow! Annoying dog (person)!

Ergou raised his head and shouted at the crows flying in the sky.

The crow seemed to be afraid of the second dog, and it was frightened by the sound of the second dog, and immediately raised the altitude of its flight.

"Brother Gray," Zhang Xiang stopped talking, he followed behind Gray, and finally spoke, "Shall we go to the mortuary to have a look?" ”

"As long as you don't leave the village, you can go anywhere!" Gray muffled, still angry. He and Yang Buwei's group of people are on the same page, and he will definitely not help this group of white-eyed wolves to purify the mass grave.

In the combination of two people and one dog, only Zhang Xiang vaguely realized that the important place to purify the mass grave was not in the mass grave, and perhaps the key to the purification of the mass grave was precisely in this Heishui Village.

"Wang!" The second dog suddenly felt that the soles of his feet were empty, and his whole dog fell into the collapse of his feet.

The house has a wooden basement that was originally used to store Chinese cabbage and all kinds of grain in winter. And now the whole basement is filled with a foul-smelling smell of decay.

A corpse lay in the middle of the basement, his face festering beyond the shape of a decorative. Covering his nose, Gray slowly stepped forward, picked up a wooden stick and stabbed the corpse in the waist.

With a pop, the tip of the stick stabbed directly into the corpse's body, and a dark purple aura that could be seen with the naked eye erupted from the corpse's body.

"What a heavy corpse!" Gray judged. "If it was alive, it would be either a ghoul or a ghover, but now it's dead."

The upward exit of the basement was locked with a wooden bolt, and if it weren't for the two dogs stomping on the plank, this would be a secret room.

Zhang Xiang swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and he touched the black-framed eyes between his eyebrows. Zhang Xiang usually likes to read all kinds of novels in his spare time, and detective novels naturally dabble in them, Zhang Xiang can feel that what is in front of him at this moment is a secret room ghoul killing incident.

"Who killed it?" Zhang Xiang asked.

Who killed the ghouls? The problem is serious. Why? Because the corpse that fell in the basement was not a human corpse, but a ghoul corpse.

If the corpse lying in the basement is human, it is possible that the person died of his wounds to escape the attack of the ghouls, or he may have starved to death inside.

Why would a ghoul lock himself in a secret room and still be dead?

Ghouls controlled by the refiner will not die naturally, even if they suffer heavy physical damage, as long as the alchemist does not die, then the ghouls will recover little by little, just like the group of ghouls in the mass grave.

"Brother Gray, didn't you say that there are corpse refiners controlling this group of ghouls?"

"I, did I say that?" Gray held his chin and thought about it, and after just a little sleep, he had forgotten almost half of what he had experienced in the mass grave yesterday.

"Oh! I remembered, I did say that. Gray patted his head.

Things are getting more and more complicated.

Why would a ghoul lock up the basement?

Sadly, there is nothing left to explore other than dead ghouls. This matter is not over.

The two came all the way to the mortuary, and seven coffins were lined up in the mortuary, among which the coffin board of the middle coffin leaked a crack slightly, which was opened by Ergou yesterday.

"The coffin board that was opened! Did the suppressed corpse demons escape! Zhang Xiang shouted.

Gray's focus was different from Zhang's, and he set his sights on the eerie charm on the coffin.

"These charms have an eerie corpse aura, and it's a talisman used by corpse refiners." Gray muttered to himself. "This coffin is not a prop used to suppress the corpse demon, but a prop used to refine the corpse demon."
