Chapter 40: Heart-Eating
Wu Village. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
This is located in the western part of the Stone Mountain, a very remote place, except for the villagers, it can be said that no one has come here, even the traces of demon beasts can rarely be seen.
But no matter what, this Wu Village still belongs to the territory of Chen Guo and is owned by Chen Guo, and the villagers of Wu Village are also the people of Chen State, and they should be under the jurisdiction of Chen State.
Therefore, even in such a remote place, there is still a government office belonging to Chen Guo.
As a result, the heart-devouring case that happened a month ago was learned of by the government office located here, Shangcheng Shidu, so that the government office far away in Shidu learned about it.
After Shidu learned of this, he entrusted the matter to the Criminal Division and the Deserted Palace.
Speaking of the Deserted Palace, it is actually not just a place where Tianyi Martial Mansion has been assigned to practice.
The barren hall, in addition to being able to hand over the experience of protégés, also has great power and can play the same role as the criminal division. In short, it represents the experience of the barren palace, so the person who has experienced it is able to send the local government office for his own use, and he does not need to be controlled by the criminal department to conduct investigations.
However, when it comes to the Criminal Division, Xiao Li has not made any moves in the past month, thinking that people dare not act rashly in the martial arts.
However, he is also out of the mansion now, without the blessing of the martial arts, will Xiao Li make a move?
If Xiao Li couldn't bear to make a move, would he send someone over, or would he go out himself?
Many thoughts flashed through Su Ran's mind.
It was now the third day of his absence, during which he had bypassed the stone mountain and headed west, and now he finally saw the existence of Wu Village.
And in the past three days, although he deliberately bypassed the stone mountain, he still inevitably encountered some demon beasts, but fortunately, his strength was not strong, and at most he could only be comparable to the martial artists of Tongtian Triple Sect, so along the way, Su Ran did not encounter any tricky things.
It's just that what makes Su Ran a little strange is that the closer he gets to this witch village, the fewer demon beasts he encounters, and in the end, he even walked for several hours, but he didn't encounter them, although it may be because of the remoteness of this place, but why is it really like a rumor, not even a demon beast has been encountered.
Looking from a distance, Su Ran felt that although Wu Village was just a village, it was not backward, and there was a faint atmosphere of prosperity.
Just like the houses in Wu Village, they are all made of bluestone carving, the beams are also made of fine cedar wood, and the doors of the houses are engraved with some strange totems, which look strange and mysterious.
On the pedestrian avenue, there are many small stalls, some people carry flat poles and shout, and some people put many objects in front of the stalls, such as bows and arrows, daggers, and tail feather fans.
As for the pedestrians, they did not wear animal skins or linen, but fine silks.
In short, from the appearance of this place, it does not seem to be located in a remote place at all, but is quite prosperous, not inferior to Shidu.
And what surprised Su Ran even more was that in the past month in Wucun, it is said that many people have been devoured and died, but this scene made Su Ran feel peaceful, as if no one had ever died here.
This feeling is extremely weird, obviously extremely ominous, but on the surface, it looks very peaceful, so contradictory, Su Ran senses that something is wrong, but he can't say why.
However, he had been running for three days in a row, and had been on the road without stopping, and by this time he was already a little tired, so now he just wanted to find a place to stay, rest for a day, eat something, and wait until tomorrow to continue thinking about these trivial matters.
Not long after, Su Ran found an inn, and just about to walk in, but saw a man standing by the door dozing, suddenly opened his eyes, and reached out to stop his figure, making Su Ran's figure stop at the door.
"Today's customers are full, please forgive me, go slowly, don't send it. Speaking in an instant, the man did not speak enthusiastically as Su Ran imagined, but said with coldness, and the coldness in his words made Su Ran extremely uncomfortable and felt extremely wrong.
Because, he can see the scene inside the inn from the door, not to mention the word full, at this moment it is difficult to find even a figure in the inn, it is simply empty.
Full?
Is this when he is blind?
"I'm not here to stay, just to get something to eat. Although Su Ran was a little annoyed by the man's obstruction, Su Ran was always calm and said calmly.
"The chef is not here today, please come back for food. The man spoke in a cold voice again, and his cold tone made Su Ran even more unhappy.
Hum!
Su Ran snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves, and left, after all, no matter how angry and unhappy he was, if this business inn didn't do it, he couldn't force him, so he could only leave.
Walking back on the avenue again, Su Ran noticed something strange that he hadn't noticed before.
Although there are many pedestrians on the road and there are various stalls, none of these people have stopped at any stall.
Pedestrians just walked, and although the stalls were put out, no one bought anything.
Such a strange scene made Su Ran a little confused.
Everything here felt so strange to him that he hadn't noticed it at first, but if he looked closely, he could detect a lot.
"It's really weird, it seems that this village is not simple. Seeing such a scene, Su Ran also groaned, and now, he finally noticed the strange color that permeated the peace on the surface of this village.
"Forget it, let's go to the government office here first. After pondering for a moment, Su Ran thought of this, and walked and stopped on the avenue.
And after walking for about a quarter of an hour, Su Ran was in an extremely remote place and saw the location of the government here.
There are two lions in front of the gate of the palace, with terrifying teeth, and the plaque hanging on the gate is written with the words "Deserted Village Mansion".
This is the government office located in the deserted village, and it is the place where it can govern everything in the entire deserted village.
It's just that at this moment, Su Ran didn't hear any sound from the mansion, the silence was terrifying, and then he pushed the door in.
Crunch!
Pushing open the door, Su Ran felt that a corpse qi was gradually emanating out, extremely pungent and disgusting.
"Huh?" Su Ran smelled the corpse smell, frowned, and followed the smell, bypassed a few paths, and came to the front of a room.
And the room in front of Su Ran was open at the moment, and the corpse qi was also emanating from the house.
Then, there was a creepy scene that appeared in Su Ran's eyes.
In this room, there are three corpses at the moment, all lying on the ground.
Their eyes were open, their pupils were much larger than normal, and in their chests, a fist-sized blood hole appeared, and the heart that should have been located in it was missing.
Moreover, near the blood cave, there are many small insects breeding, tearing at the internal organs of these corpses, which is extremely disgusting.
