Verse 185, self-destruction [II]
"The way is a good way, but do you think that even if the village chief and them dissipate the fear in their hearts, what about the demon way? Do you think the village chief will ask someone to move out of the village? ”
"Why do you have to move out of the village? We can completely eradicate the demon path in one fell swoop this time, I believe we can, we have been dealing with the demon dao for so much time, and we have already found his weakness, in fact, we can completely try, maybe it will be successful.

"Experimenting on the lives of the people? Brother Guigu, you really thought of it, I wouldn't do this kind of thing, I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of what if, we have dealt so much with the demon road, which time didn't we suffer? How has anyone not died? I really don't want to see anyone die again. ”
Liu Shoucai sighed as he spoke, he felt that he was really afraid to see those helpless, frustrated, and desperate eyes now, recently Liu Shoucai would always have nightmares, dreaming that those who died tragically looked at him with desperate eyes, it was a kind of isolated and helpless, and very helpless eyes, which made Liu Shoucai very regretful, so he said so.
"Brother Liu, if you want to eradicate the demon Dao, you can't be immortal, you should understand that only a few people can exchange for the safety of more people, are you really not willing to try?"
Guigu Song wanted to take the method of fighting poison with poison, he knew that there was a secret technique that could eradicate the demon path, but that secret technique required the blood and curse of ninety-nine people, of course, if the formation really worked successfully, then ninety-nine people would naturally be wiped out.
This kind of secret method is specially designed to restrain the evil magic of the demon way, if it were Guigu Song himself, he would definitely use this kind of magic, but there is still Liu Shoucai at the moment, so he is not sure, so he will discuss it with Liu Shoucai, just looking at Liu Shoucai's attitude, Guigu Song also knows in his heart that Liu Shoucai will not agree, but he still wants to try.
"No, the method you said is good, but this kind of self-inflicting method, I really can't accept it, if there is a way that you don't have to harm the people, then I can still try."
Liu Shoucai refused unceremoniously, Guigu Song saw this, and he didn't say any more, he knew that no matter how much he said, Liu Shoucai would not agree, so he didn't speak anymore.
The group wandered around the village for a long time, and finally when the sun was about to set, they returned to the village chief's house, and by this time, the village chief had already prepared his room and meals.
After eating, Liu Shoucai and Guigu Song Badou went back to the room, but the three big men slept on a fire, and Liu Shoucai was also drunk, but the current conditions were limited, and he could only endure it.
"Brother Liu, I didn't expect us to be able to sleep on a kang, this feels so sour! Hey, look at that mosquito, that's a little too much, isn't it? It seems that tonight is destined to not be able to sleep. ”
Guigu Song sat up from the kang as he spoke, the house was very stuffy, and there were many mosquitoes, he knew that the village chief's house environment was like this, then he should have refused to move in just now, but now that he said to leave, the village chief's face must not look good.
"Otherwise, let's use teleportation to go to the town inn to rest, and wait for tomorrow, we'll come back again, what do you think?"
"This is a good way, then I'll call the first and second to go."
"Wait, what are you doing with them? I also want to make a fuss about the village chief, let them sleep with the village chief! Don't suffer a little, I really thought that the future road would be so easy to walk, okay, give me quietly. ”
Liu Shoucai glared at Xiaobai, who was about to go out, Xiaobai saw this, and had no choice but to give up, after Liu Shoucai recited the spell in his mouth, everyone appeared in the uninhabited alley of the town in a blink of an eye, and when they walked out of the alley, Liu Shoucai and they quickly found the inn.
Liu Shoucai and they opened two rooms, Liu Shoucai and Xiaobai lived in one, and Badou and Guigusong lived in one, and now everyone also had their own space, and they no longer had to crowd in such a small room to feed mosquitoes.
Feeling the beauty of the environment, Liu Shoucai soon fell asleep, and at dawn the next day, Liu Shoucai received a message from the second child, hearing that there was an accident in the village again, Liu Shoucai and Guigu Song They didn't dare to continue to sleep, and rushed back to the village directly.
"What's going on? Why are they dead again? Yesterday we checked around the village and didn't find any strange aura in the village, so it can't be a curse killing, it should be artificial. ”
"Master Liu, do you really think it will be artificial? But several people have died in the village, all of them are such horrible deaths, if it is really man-made, then how can it not be discovered by us? ”
"Yes, Master Liu, the people in our village are all good people, I can guarantee the character, it really can't be artificial, you can take a good look at it."
The village chief is also anxious at this time, he has been clearing the suspected charges for the villagers, Liu Shoucai saw this, and he didn't bother to bother with the village chief, this kind of village chief, after encountering things, it is difficult to keep his senses, so no matter how much he says, he will only waste his saliva, so Liu Shoucai will no longer speak.
"Okay, everyone calm down first, we will investigate the situation here, Brother Guigu, you and the old one check the body of the deceased, Badou, you and the second child go around to check if there is anything suspicious, Xiaobai, you and I will make a record of these people, see what they were doing last night when the deceased died, and whether there are any witnesses."
After Liu Shoucai finished speaking, the eight fighting ghosts and Gu Song and they each started to act, Xiaobai and Liu Shoucai took everyone to make a record, and after asking everyone, Liu Shoucai found that it was already noon, and it seemed that the time for his questioning was really too long.
"I didn't expect time to pass so quickly, and I don't know if Badou and Brother Guigu have found any clues."
"Why don't I ask."
"No, it's time for them to come back, just wait!"
Liu Shoucai stretched his waist as he spoke, and then got up and moved again, and it didn't take long for Badou and Guigusong to come back one after another, seeing their sweaty appearance, Liu Shoucai hurriedly handed them the towel.
"Hurry up and wipe your sweat, take a break, thank you for your hard work."
"It's not tired that I'm tired, it's just that it's too hot outside, and the corpse must be disposed of quickly, so as not to stink."
After Guigu Song wiped his sweat, he sat on the chair with his ass, and quickly drank two sips of water, and then began to mumble.
"Brother Guigu, have you found anything?"
"Well, the corpse was severely injured with a blunt object, and then used a sharp weapon to cut the throat, but it is very strange, the deceased was poisoned, and it was still alive, it should be poisoned to death, and it was injured with blunt objects and sharp weapons, and there are no traces of struggle around, and the deceased has always had a satisfied smile on his face, this is the strangest place."
"Hachidou, what about you? Have you found anything suspicious around? ”
"Not for the time being, everything around is normal, we also went to the deceased's house to rummage through, there is nothing special, if you have to say anything special, it is the teacup on the table in his bedroom, the teacups on the plate are all placed, that is, there are two teacups on the edge of the table that are upside down with each other, it feels a little strange."
"Yes, there are gains, although the gains are not very big, but this can also show that the deceased was killed by someone, not by some curse and died tragically, but don't make the suspicions public, lest they be destroyed by someone with a heart, and then we want to find clues again, it will really be very difficult."
"I said Liu Shoucai, don't you think our current form is really strange? We are obviously catching zombies, but now we are being hard-pulled to solve crimes, and our profession has changed too quickly! ”
After Xiaobai took a sip of water, he began to complain dissatisfiedly, what he hated most was these things that use his brain wisdom, because his brain is very small, so there are still a lot of things that he doesn't understand very well.
"Xiaobai, you should complain less! We know you're not interested in this kind of thing, but these are extraordinary times, so bear with me! I don't want to do this kind of work, but there is no official in front of me, and we don't help the villagers, so who else can help them? ”
"Brother Liu is right, we should be good people to the end, help these poor villagers, this is also our chance, of course, this kind of good deed, although there will not be a lot of merit in it, but it is rare to get a comfort in the heart."
"Humph! You will be a good person, whatever you want! But what to investigate next, you go and investigate yourself, I won't accompany you, I just saw a beautiful little hen, I went out to play first. ”
Xiaobai ran away as he spoke, making Liu Shoucai look embarrassed, but after thinking about it, Liu Shoucai still didn't stop it, no way, who called Xiaobai not a human, so Liu Shoucai naturally couldn't use human thoughts to restrain it, lest Xiaobai be bound too badly and mad.
"Brother Guigu, what do you think we should do next?"
"Let's continue the investigation, let's start with the body, let's autopsy the body first, I want to know what kind of poison he has."
"Can't you see it in his blood?"
"No, so that's what I find strange, I'm going to dissect the corpse and see how the poison reacts in his stomach, so be it! Wait until we use an illusion and steal the corpse out, and then return the corpse after I find out what the poison is in his stomach, what do you think? ”
"Are you really going to dissect a corpse? It's really yours, forget it, just do what you say! I can't do anything better right now. ”
Liu Shoucai agreed to Guigu Song's suggestion, and after the two said a few more words, he ordered Badou to divert everyone's eyes, and he and Guigu Song quietly used illusion to transfer the corpse.
Everyone was in grief and fear at this time, so no one realized that the corpse had already been replaced, Liu Shoucai and Guigu Song took the corpse up the mountain until they reached the cave, and then they stopped running.
"Oh, I'll go, it's just a thunderbolt, such a funny thing, I didn't expect me to really do it, it's incredible."
After putting the corpse away, Liu Shoucai said to Guigu Song in a mocking tone, and Gui Gu Song also smiled and said: "I didn't expect that I would steal the corpse one day, but we did this for everyone's sake, if the murderer didn't find out quickly, the people in the village would have more casualties." ”
"That's right, I'm now beginning to suspect that the people who died before were also killed by someone, and it's very likely that it was done by one person at all."
"And if it really was done by one person, what are you going to do?"
"What can I do? Of course, it was directly eradicated, what else did that kind of beast keep it? Do you really want him to continue to harm others? I'm starting to feel like that person is the same as the demon Dao, the executioner of the slaughtering village. ”
"This person is better than the demon road, at least we have the ability to stop him, and he didn't go out of the village, let alone kill so many people, the demon road is different, alas! Forget it, let's not talk about that, let's quickly check what kind of poison is in the dead first! ”
Guigu Song began to open the mouth of the deceased as he spoke, and then all kinds of observations, Liu Shoucai was disgusted, so he walked to the entrance of the cave to protect Guigu Song, which was also to prevent Guigu Song from accidentally breaking in when he was dissecting the corpse, or animals or something that broke in.
Half an hour later, Guigu Song also walked out of the cave, his face was serious, and Liu Shoucai was a little scared when he saw it, such a serious Guigu Song, Liu Shoucai also saw it for the first time.
"I said you're okay, right?"
"What can I do, it's the villagers who have something."
"What do you mean by that?"
"Do you remember those two black trees at the entrance of the village that can't be named?"
"Remember, what's wrong? Does this have anything to do with those two black trees? ”
"I just found the seed of the black tree in the stomach of the deceased, and that seed is something that can cause hallucination poisoning to death."
"My good dear, I didn't expect those two black trees to be poisonous trees! But as long as you don't eat that, there shouldn't be a problem! ”
Liu Shoucai was shocked, but quickly came back to his senses.
"No, the smell of the black tree is also poisonous, and when it blooms in spring, there are toxins in the pollen, although it is not as toxic as the sap of seeds and trees, but it can also cause an effect on people, and I now know roughly how the name Village of the Living Dead came from."
"Does it have anything to do with the influence of the black tree?"
"Well, that's right, it's probably because of that black tree that this kind of reputation will be spread, okay, now that we've solved the poisoning phenomenon, let's go find the murderer!"
"Do you already know who the killer is?"
Liu Shoucai looked at Guigu Song with a curious face, Gui Gu Song smiled lightly, but he didn't answer Liu Shoucai's words, which made Liu Shoucai feel like he was scratched by a cat, which was very uncomfortable.
"Let's go! Let's go back to the village, and I want the villagers to reveal the true face of that hypocrite. ”
Guigu Song's eyes shot a sharp light, Liu Shoucai was also stunned by Guigu Song's Wang Ba momentum, seeing that Guigu Song had begun to descend the mountain, Liu Shoucai also hurriedly followed, but the two of them were completely immersed in the case at this time, and they simply forgot that the corpses in the cave had not been cleaned up.
After returning to the village, Guigu Song asked the first and second children to gather the villagers to the village chief's house, and threatened to solve the cause of the tragic death of the villagers.
"Everyone has already arrived, I don't know if Master Guigu is going to start?"
The village chief walked up to Guigu Song with a humble face and asked, Guigu Song nodded, and then followed the village chief to the courtyard.
"Everyone, be quiet, I just carefully investigated the body of the deceased, and found that he was only wounded with blunt and sharp weapons after he died of poisoning, the purpose is to cover up the truth of the deceased's death, and the poison that really killed the deceased is in your village."
Guigu Song began to sell Guan Zi when he said this, and seeing Gui Gu Song checking everyone's faces in the crowd, Liu Shoucai suddenly understood how Gui Gu Song knew who the murderer was, and sure enough, when Liu Shoucai looked at a tall and thin man, the man's face was very strange.
"Master Guigu, how can our village have poison? Did you guess wrong? ”
Everyone thought about it for a while, but they didn't understand what Guigu Song meant, so they began to ask.
"Let's be quiet for a while, I'll tell you now, the two black trees at the entrance of the village are poisons, and the toxins are still very powerful, especially its seeds and the sap of the tree itself, and even its pollen can cause poison to people."
"How is this possible? We often soak the leaves and flowers of the black tree in water and drink, and after drinking it, the whole body is comfortable, so how can the tree be a poisonous tree? That's a rare treasure tree in our village, and Xiao Yu brought it back from outside. ”
The old man in the crowd who Liu Shoucai saw for the first time began to deny it, and the Xiao Yu that the old man said in his mouth was the tall and thin man with a strange face that Liu Shoucai had just seen in the crowd.
"Huh...... I know you won't believe it, so I'll do an experiment for you, old man, bring everything up! ”
As Guigu Song's words fell, the first and second came forward, the old one was holding a cage in his hand, and in the cage were several mice, and the old man was holding the seeds and leaves of the black tree.
Seeing this, everyone also understood that Guigu Pine wanted to give the rat the seeds and leaves of the black tree in front of everyone, and if the mouse died, it meant that the black tree was really poisonous.
After Xiao Yu saw the things in the old and second-hand things, his face immediately turned pale, and he squatted directly on the ground as if he had been drained of his strength, although everyone didn't understand what happened to Xiao Yu, but Guigu Song and Liu Shoucai already knew why he became like this.
"Xiao Yu, why are you poisoning those people? They are dead, why don't you spare their corpses? What is your reason for doing this? Why do you want to deal with the people in this village, I don't believe that when you brought the black tree back, you really didn't know what the black tree was. ”
