Chapter 388: Confused
We caught my so-called distant relative, and also his apprentices. We pressed and asked.
The relative said: "There is a panacea in the gods, and after eating it, you will not get sick and prolong your life." So we joined the meeting. β
His words were confirmed by Cao Cao. Cao Cao said: "That's right, there is indeed this rumor. There are many people in the MLM organization I belong to who believe in this old immortal. It can be said that there is some overlap between the two organizations. β
Wushuang asked, "None of you have seen his true face?" β
Cao Cao shook his head.
I was a little anxious: "None of you have seen it. How can you be sure that he is a god and not a devil? How do you know that his elixir is real? β
Cao Cao said: "There is a saying that three people become tigers, and great-mothers jump off the wall." When everyone around you says so, you don't believe it. Wait for the people around you to tell you that after we ate it, we all got the benefits. It's a benefit that everybody shares, and you don't get it. You can't hold it back. I don't know who first came out of this immortal's words. But it is widely circulated. A lot of people want to join. β
I scratched my head and asked, "Join...... And then you're going to help him collect souls? β
Now it was my distant relative's turn to wonder: "Collect souls?" What collects souls? β
I saw that his face was blank and reminded, "You killed so many people in the morgue. Aren't you helping him collect souls? β
The distant relative said excitedly: "You can't talk nonsense. I didn't kill those people. They were picked up by me. β
I looked at him suspiciously, "What do you mean?" You picked it up? β
The little apprentice said, "Master and I have to go out in the middle of the night every day to pick up people. There were beggars who were seriously ill. There are drunk people who fall drunk on the side of the road. There are also homeless people who have died and no one to collect their bodies. We were kind enough to pick them up. Let them stay here. β
I couldn't help but laugh and asked, "That's what I said." You're not harming anyone. It's saving people. It's not a morgue, it's your shelter? β
The little apprentice said confidently, "Yes." β
I looked at him and asked, "Then you tell me." Have any of the people you rescued come back to life? β
The little apprentice's eyes were a little flustered: "Come alive?" Ay? It's as if they all died later. β
I asked again, "Is your master doing three things?" Don't leak this place? β
The little apprentice looked at me in surprise, then nodded and said, "How do you know?" β
I didn't answer, but walked up to my distant relative, and said as plainly as I could: "You don't have to lie to me, these dead bodies are inseparable from you. Let's be honest. Otherwise, you will be like them. β
He looked at me with a frightened look on his face for a while, and when he saw that my eyes were always very cold, he couldn't help but be a little afraid. Finally, a bead of sweat appeared on his forehead. The whole person seemed to be deflated, nodded and said, "Okay, I said." β
I let go of him and motioned for him to speak immediately.
The distant relative said: "After I joined the association, I never had the opportunity to get the elixir. Not only is there no elixir, but there is also a rule. It is a person who receives paper from the master on a regular basis. Then let those who are dying lie down. I thought something was wrong, but I really didn't think it was collecting souls at first. By the time I realized it, it was too late. β
Distant relatives looked at Cao Cao, and then said, "Although this little brother is following Sister Mao. But he was still in the observation period and did not have an apprenticeship. And I'm kind of a teacher. I'm an official member. In the beginning, I picked up some homeless people who died suddenly on the side of the road. You also know that the chaos of the previous years has just passed, and there are still a lot of homeless people on the streets. But then, fewer and fewer people died, and I gradually became unable to communicate. β
"At first, I didn't think it was a good deal. But every day it came to night. I all have the same dream. I dreamed of a paper figure with my birth date written on it. It's limping toward me. β
Wushuang Qi said: "How do you know it's your blood?" β
The distant relative said, "I didn't know it was my blood." But dreaming, what I say in my dreams is what it isβ€ I have been dreaming like this for days on end. My heart is getting more and more restless. Until one day. I was walking down the street. Suddenly, I saw paper figures everywhere. The paper figures all had one expression, and they were all staring at me. I hit myself in the face so hard that I wanted to wake myself up. β
"But it's useless. The paper figures surrounded me. Then, one of them said: "Tomorrow before dawn." If these paper figures don't have a soul. I'll count your soul. "That voice is terrible. Fortunately, they said this and left. β
"After the paper figures were gone, I came back to my senses suddenly. I found myself standing on the street. The paper figures are gone, and only the people who come and go remain. These people all looked at me strangely. And my face still hurts hotly. It was injured when I slapped myself just now. β
"I know these paper figures aren't just joking. I didn't dare to slack off that night, and went to the street overnight to find the person who had just died. Until dawn, there was still one person missing. I'm getting more and more anxious, and it's too late. Suddenly, there was a man lying on a park bench. I was so excited that I hurriedly ran over to take a look. But the man was not dead, but drunk, and sleeping. β
I saw the pain on his face, and said to him, "And then you will get this man back and take him on errands?" β
He nodded, and then said, "Before the sky is clear, he is dead." At this point, I basically got it. The dead people I found before, they had just died, their souls were still there, and then they were all taken away by those paper figures. And this drunkard is not dead, he is still alive, but pitiful, he was killed by me. β
"I feel guilty to death. After taking the paper figure to the master, the more I thought about it, the more wrong it became. I went to the crossroads to burn paper. I got up in the middle of the night to apologize. It took a week before I felt more comfortable. β
Speaking of this, the relative closed his eyes, as if the criminal had finally been caught and decided to put everything down to face the trial, and deeply analyzed himself: "Actually, it's not that I feel comfortable. I did it again. This time, I brought back a couple of people who were seriously ill, and one who was drunk. That's why I killed three more people. β
Speaking of this, the distant relative pointed to his little apprentice: "Haven't you always wanted to know where your senior brother is?" β
The little apprentice was already dumbfounded when he heard it, and when he saw the master asking, he didn't answer for a long time. He asked tentatively, "Could it be...... Let you use it to make up the numbers, right? β
The distant relative laughed: "That's right, I took him to make up the numbers." β
The little apprentice screamed in panic, turned his head and ran. But was stopped by Wushuang who was standing behind.
I looked at this distant relative, and suddenly felt a little uneasy in my heart. After a few seconds, Musou explained the reason for my uneasiness. She asked the distant relative, "Do you know Xu You?" Are you two related? β
He looked at me and shook his head, "No, never." β
I asked him, "You went to my house two days ago, and it was one night. β
He suddenly made a look of sudden realization: "Oh oh oh, I remembered." I've seen a family portrait in your house, and it seems to have you on it. However, I am not a relative of your family, your mother invited me to go. β
I was a little anxious and asked, "What do you mean?" Does my mom want to join the club too? β
The man nodded, "yes." She didn't know where she heard about it, but she could live longer if she joined the club. So I asked around, and I was heard. I wished I had one more apprentice, so I promised her that I would allow her to apprentice as long as I observed for a while. When I went to your house that day, I accepted her apprenticeship. β
Then, he looked at me a little nervously: "I didn't tell her in detail about what happened after joining the club, otherwise, who would be willing to come in?" This brother, I made an unintentional mistake. If I knew she was yours......"
I was so angry that I used my peachwood sword to cut down the tree on the side of the road: "Confused, really confused." What will she be into? What prolongs life? Confused! β
