Chapter 355: The Butcher's Request
I don't need to doubt Coach Takeo's words, if what he said is true, I was indeed looking for death just now.
Just kidding, if I leave the village in a daze, I'm afraid that I will end up like my two senior brothers, and I will end up refining into evil corpses.
The spiritual strength of the Onmyoji will not be too weak, especially the Onmyoji who chases out the corpse. They want to manipulate corpses to fight, and their mental strength must be strong enough.
And the corpse chasers who surrounded us this time, even through the formation, were able to use the illusion created by their soul power to affect me.
Coach Takeo guessed that we were in big trouble. Even if the martial arts coach tried his best, he might not be able to succeed in defeating the corpse chaser hiding in the shadows.
"How's the situation going on Blackie's side? What news did he ask? Coach Takefu asked suddenly.
This sentence blinded me, Xiao Hei's side...... I haven't been concerned about Blackie's progress tonight.
"I'll go over and see now!" I sneered.
Coach Wufu nodded, and didn't bother with me, just motioned for me to hurry up and ask Xiao Hei, and then come back to him.
I didn't dare to slack off, and ran non-stop to the bamboo building where Xiao Hei was. As soon as I walked to the door and was about to knock on the door, Xiao Hei took the initiative to open the door for me.
"Come in!" Xiao Hei said softly, faintly displeased.
I knew that such a sudden attack might have disturbed Xiao Hei. I sneered and squeezed into the room.
"How's it going on your end? Did anything come out of the interrogation? I asked in a whisper.
Xiao Hei tilted his head and glanced at me: "What is the interrogation?" You don't know I'm sleeping all the time? ”
Hey, I'm not happy to hear that, what does Xiao Hei mean? Is it interesting to hide it from me like that?
"Don't pretend to me, you brought the butcher back here after he was caught. Why, it's been a long time, and you haven't been able to interrogate anything? I asked.
Xiao Hei didn't want to tell me the truth, maybe he wanted to hide something from me. It's also possible that it didn't ask anything at all, and I'm embarrassed to say it now.
I know the first option is the most likely, but I'll have to test it now and see what it thinks.
"Stop, I've really been sleeping and have never interrogated a butcher." Blackie's head shook like a rattle.
I frowned and sighed helplessly: "Okay, okay, if you don't want to tell me, it's okay." It was Coach Takefu who asked me to ask you, why don't you just go and tell Coach Takefu? ”
Xiao Hei suddenly came to his senses, and his eyes widened: "What else did he tell you?" ”
I gave Xiao Hei a blank look: "I want to know?" If you want to know, exchange the news from your interrogation! ”
Xiao Hei shook his head: "Don't talk about it, I don't want to ask yet." You're watching here, I'm going to talk to Takeo. ”
Actually, I'm very interested in what Xiao Hei is hiding from me, which may have something to do with his reluctance to leave here.
But Xiao Hei and Coach Takefu are now more and more savvy than the other, and as long as they are not willing to let me know, it is pointless for me to follow the past.
Instead of running in vain, it's better to stay here honestly, and maybe I can get some useful clues while Xiao Hei leaves.
However, what I didn't expect was that when Xiao Hei was just about to leave, he directly locked the door of the inner room.
Without the key, I had to stay in the outhouse, and I couldn't even look at the butcher.
"I advise you, it's better not to go in out of curiosity. There is no need to ask, the butcher will not say anything. Curiosity kills people, you are so self-conscious! Xiao Hei said in a deep voice.
When I said this, Xiao Hei's expression was serious and terrifying, and I unconsciously shrunk my neck and didn't dare to respond.
After Xiao Hei left, I did remember Xiao Hei's words at first. Although I was indeed curious, I had no intention of opening the door.
"Boy, that dog scared you out in a few words? Why, dare you open the door and take a look? After a few minutes, the voice of a butcher came from the room.
The butcher spoke like a bell, and even if he was defeated in the hands of the martial arts instructor today, there was no sense of defeat in his voice.
I snorted coldly and ignored the butcher.
How could he deceive me with such an inferior agitation method?
He thought I was a three-year-old child, and he coaxed me to open the door with a few words?
"Hehehe, it's really a coward! But do you want to know, what questions did that dog ask me? "The butcher continues to bewitch me.
I'm really curious about this question, but just because of this curiosity, it's still impossible for me to forget Blackie's advice.
"Okay, since you're not interested, let's change the subject. Do you really want to find that little girl named Tian Xin? Unfortunately, I happened to know her whereabouts. The butcher smiled confidently.
My heart trembled, and I confessed that his words did hit me.
"Where is Tian Xin?" I asked eagerly.
As soon as I finished saying that, I regretted it, who knows if the butcher will lie to me?
Although the butcher is tall and rugged-looking, he is actually a sinister and cunning villain.
The main reason why Xiao Hei told me so seriously just now was that he was worried that I would be deceived by the butcher.
I have to admit that the butcher has a strong ability to "bewitch the public". I've been vaccinated, but he can still find the softest spot in my heart and make me feel like I'm not going to lose it.
"Hehe, I guessed right, you really care about that little girl. I know her whereabouts, but I won't tell you for nothing. The butcher laughed.
The butcher's voice sounded full of confidence, and he seemed to be sure that I would find a way to meet Tian Xin's needs for his whereabouts.
I couldn't help but sigh secretly, that was Tian Xin's whereabouts, what if he really knew?
I've told myself several times in my heart that I can't deal with the butcher anymore.
But in the end, I still couldn't overcome my desire for Tian Xin's whereabouts, and it was impossible to ignore the butcher.
I frowned and said in a deep voice, "What do you want?" If you want me to let you go, I'll tell you the truth, I can't do it! ”
The butcher laughed loudly: "Little one, you are too vigilant! But I really didn't want you to let me go, even if I could get out of this room? Takeo won't let me go easily! ”
I nodded unconsciously, even if the butcher was a little self-aware, since he lost to Coach Wufu once, he would lose a second time.
Now, even if I release him from Xiao Hei's captivity, Instructor Martial Arts won't let him go.
At this time, my heart was already a little shaken, if he just wanted to make some small requests, not too much, I still find a way to satisfy him, right?
"You tell me Tian Xin's whereabouts first, and then tell me your request. If I could call the shots, I would definitely promise you. I took a deep breath and said.
Hearing me say this, the butcher's tone suddenly changed: "Boy, you are very insincere! What if I tell you Tian Xin's whereabouts, and you don't agree to my conditions? We'd better both put away those little thoughts now and make an honest deal. ”
I frowned: "You still want to talk to me about conditions?" You can only trust me as a person now, and I will definitely do what I promised you. ”
These butchers were completely angry: "That's it, I can't continue to talk to you kid who doesn't know what to do!" It's a deal, don't do it! ”
Instead of being nervous, I was relieved to see the butcher's attitude.
As the saying goes, there is no such thing as a free lunch, and until just now, I still didn't want to believe the butcher's words.
If the butcher can agree without hesitation if I make such excessive demands, I will suspect that he is not sincere in dealing with me at all, but just trying to trick me.
Since the butcher will be angry, it means that my request is indeed "excessive", and it also confirms from the side that he does have the idea of making a deal with me.
"Tell me, tell me what you want. I'll think about it, and let's move on. I chuckled.
The butcher was stunned, and sighed after a moment: "The little cub is getting more and more difficult to deal with now. I was humiliated by that dog just now, and now I want to be despised by you again, I really can't mix it up in the future. ”
In a way, the butcher's self-deprecating words were just to bring me closer.
But no matter what, hearing him say that, I did feel a lot more comfortable.
"Water, I just want to drink water right now! After that mad dog caught me, he wouldn't even let me drink my saliva, and I was dying of thirst! The butcher sighed.
I was stunned, in my imagination, the butcher could make all kinds of requests, but I didn't expect him to just ask for water.
At first I felt relieved that he wasn't asking too much and that I could help him.
But soon, I felt that something was wrong.
When it comes to the realm of a butcher, even if you don't eat or drink for a few days, it shouldn't have any effect, right?
Does he want water for another purpose?
If, I mean if.
If he really didn't have anything else on mind but wanted to drink some water, then it was really too simple.
Is the information that can be obtained at such a small price really reliable?
"Butcher, you're a big man, and you can joke with a junior like me?" I asked tentatively.
The butcher snorted coldly: "Why am I kidding you? As I said just now, even if you let me out directly, I won't be able to escape at all. ”
"So now I don't have any thoughts of running away, I just want to be comfortable. Even if it is a death sentence, there must be a severed head meal at the end. ”
"I wasn't asking too much, I just wanted some water. If you can, you'd better give me a little more food. ”
"This time I entered the mountain, I was always on guard against those bastards of the corpse chaser, for fear of being poisoned by their corpses. So for so long, I haven't gotten a drop of water. ”
"That damn dog, he just deliberately humiliated me, didn't give me water to drink, didn't give me anything to eat, and didn't even let me go to the toilet! If I have the chance, I will kill it, and the dog meat will sell for a good price! ”
The butcher's explanation sounded reasonable, and if that was the case, he was not asking too much.
