Chapter 276: A Lonely Town

After a long time, it spread in the town, and everyone said that the shopkeeper was tuned by a ghost, and the current shopkeeper is not the original shopkeeper at all, but a ghost.

This rumor spread more and more, and even several nearby towns knew about it, and everyone wanted to see what the demon-possessed person really looked like.

But the shopkeeper became more and more strange, and still did not go out during the day, and wandered alone on the street at night, and almost scared the beater to death several times, because he saw him squatting in the corner and eating a wild dog that had been run over by a car.

The town became more and more lively as the number of people wanted to see the excitement grew, and every night people scrambled to hide in the dark, waiting for the shopkeeper to go out and hang out, all wanting to see the demon-possessed people.

The shopkeeper ignored them and continued to go his own way, and more people saw the shopkeeper eating the dead bodies of animals in the middle of the night, and eventually the matter attracted the attention of the government.

In the name of disturbing the peace, the government arrested the shopkeeper and locked him up for seven days.

For seven days, the innkeeper did not say a word in his cell, and all the prisoners who were with him felt that there was something wrong with this man, and they often smelled the body of this person, and there was a smell of dead corpses.

Seven days later, the owner was let out.

However, he did not correct it, and still went out every night as he should.

The government arrested him one after another, let him go, and all kinds of warnings were useless, and they simply stopped caring about him.

One day, there was a homicide in the town, and a man from outside the town who came to see the excitement died on the street with his head missing.

The government characterized the incident as a homicide, but it did not investigate it very strictly, after all, in that year, no one cared about the death of one or two people.

However, within a few days, another person died, still without a head.

Moreover, the person who died was the witness who found the dead body for the first time.

Within a few days, many people died one after another, all of them headless, and all of them were eyewitnesses to the previous case.

The people of the town were panicked and no longer dared to go out at night, and the government began to investigate the matter strictly, but no matter how they investigated, there was no way to stop the catastrophe.

People are still dying every day, and shopkeepers are still on the streets every night.

The people who came to see the excitement also left one after another, but no one could get out of the town, all of them died inexplicably on the way, the only feature was that the deceased had no head.

The case grew bigger and bigger, alarming the then Nationalist Government, which sent a regimental force and cordoned off the entire town, never leaving without thoroughly investigating the case.

The panicked people began to feel a sense of security for a moment because of the arrival of the troops, and this tranquility did not last long, because the soldiers in the troops also began to die one by one, in a horrible death, all without heads, and the necks of these people who lost their heads were as if they had been gnawed by some animal.

As a result, not only the people were uneasy, but even the troops began to riot, and deserters continued to appear, but the town seemed to have become a huge cage, and anyone who came in could never get out.

The deserter also died inexplicably on the way to escape, and even the commander of the unit was gnawed off his head in the middle of the night.

There were two men on duty outside the chief's door that night, one of whom was frightened to death on the spot, and the other was insane, and when he was taken away, he kept wailing: "Ghost! Man-eating ghosts! ”

Eventually, the people began to suspect the shopkeeper, because he was the only one in the town who was called a demon-possessed man.

The people spontaneously organized to arrest him, only to find that he had long since disappeared, and when the ranks of the people rushed into his house, the cobweb-covered courtyard was full of human heads, and the blood stained the land, and the stench of the sky exploded in the town at the first moment of opening the door.

The sky suddenly turned dark, the fog covered the town, and death hung over everyone's heads, and then the people realized that the shopkeeper was the murderer.

The people reported the incident to the troops, who began to search the town for the shopkeeper, but after searching every inch of land, they could not find the shopkeeper.

People are still dying, from one a day, to dozens, hundreds, and finally in broad daylight.

Many people saw their companions, when they were with them during the day, suddenly had an extra tooth mark on their neck, and then blood suddenly burst out from the carotid artery, as if they had been gnawed by someone, and they died instantly, and their heads fell to the ground and rolled to the side.

The human head seemed to be alive, and as soon as it fell to the ground, it gurgled and rolled into the distance, until it rolled into the mist, never to be seen again.

There are fewer and fewer people in the town, and there are still people who keep trying to break out of the town, but it's late, everything is late, no one can get out, as long as they step out of the town, there will be tooth marks on that person's neck, and then in a few minutes, the whole neck is gnawed into a white bone cervical vertebrae, and the broken head of the cervical vertebra falls to the ground and rolls into the town.

Even if they die, they can't leave here.

The soldiers of the army have long been reduced to the common people, the common people have been reduced to beggars, the whole town has become a hell of burning, killing and looting, people have begun to kill each other for food, plunder each other, death is no longer fear, the most feared thing is that there is no food.

In the end, there were only a few hundred people left in the whole town, and the deaths did not happen again, and for a long time, no one's head was eaten, and no one hit the ghost again.

However, ghosts have also become less scary.

One cold morning, when one of the hapless bastards wakes up to find that his legs are gone, leaving only his bones, he howls in his middle sleep, shattering the last of the town's tranquility.

People woke up one after another, looking at the unlucky man with only white bones left, and a strong desire suddenly rose in their heads.

That leg was obviously eaten by someone, and the meat on the leg had long been eaten into the stomach by someone who had eaten it as food.

Everyone looked at the unlucky bastard, numbly watching him keep wailing and convulsing, and no one stepped forward to comfort him.

Finally, the first person moved, he walked up to the unlucky man, bent down and tore a piece of residual meat from the unlucky man's boneless leg, he turned to look at the crowd behind him, as if to confirm whether someone was the same as he thought.

He didn't get any response, and everyone's eyes had turned to frenzy, staring at the unlucky ones like food.

The man who tore off the scrap finally couldn't help it and put it in his mouth, he was so hungry that he barely chewed and swallowed it.

There was the first, there was the second, the third, the fourth, and the man became a beast in hunger, and they rushed up and pounced on the unfortunate one, who was torn into pieces of delicious meat and filled his hungry stomach before he understood what was going on.

People don't seem to be satisfied with such a human flesh, and no one can resist the temptation in the face of hunger.

They began to look around for dead bodies, and some even said that the dead were better because their flesh was close to rotting and tasted better chewy, and the meat of the unlucky ones was too hard.

There are a lot of corpses in the town, and at the end of the head-gnawing incident, there is no one to help others collect the corpses, so the survivors have the desire to live again, because those outlaws who have no heads are the best food.

After many more months, tragedy was once again on the verge of this lonely forgotten town.
