Chapter 30: The Shadow of the Shadow

In the middle of the night, Zhu Jue was woken up by a burst of urgency, so he crawled out of bed drowsily, got dressed, and pushed the door out to find a toilet. Pen ~ fun ~ www.biquge.info he walked around the attic but didn't find it, so he had to go downstairs to have a look. When he reached the middle of the stairs, he found that the kitchen light was still on, and the faint sound of chopping meat came from inside.

"Uncle Dunzi, haven't you slept yet?" Zhu Jue asked, but Dunzi didn't answer, probably didn't hear it. He thought that Dunzi must know where the toilet was, so he walked over to the kitchen. He walked to the door of the kitchen, and saw the brown wooden door hidden in the faint candlelight.

"This Uncle Dunzi is too hardworking, and he is still cooking in the middle of the night. However, when I asked him what the material was, he wouldn't say, so I might as well come and see it now. Zhu Jue quietly pushed the crack in the door a little wider, and then looked inside through the crack in the door. I saw that the mound was facing away from Zhu Jue, holding a kitchen knife, cutting something on the cutting board. Looking over, I saw some vegetables, seasonings, fruits, and a ...... next to the pier A truncated leg?

Zhu Jue was shocked, but saw that the leg was still very complete, but no matter how it looked, it didn't look like an animal's leg, but it looked like it was cut off from a man. The blood from the cut had not yet clotted, and it seemed to have just been cut off. Zhu Jue pinched his face fiercely, feeling a hot pain, it didn't seem to be a dream. I saw that Dunzi finished cutting the vegetables in his hand, and without looking at it, he took the human leg from his side, rinsed it slightly, and continued to chop it up with a knife. The sound of the collision between the kitchen knife and the cutting board came like raindrops, and the little bit of alcohol that Zhu Jue had left disappeared in an instant.

"Why, how come, is this what we eat......" Zhu Jue's stomach suddenly churned, and he vomited at the door without holding back. Dunzi was still chopping meat by himself, probably too attentive, but he didn't notice Zhu Jue. After vomiting, he finally felt a little better, so he thought about hurrying upstairs and telling Qiushui and them about the situation.

"Little brother, why don't you sleep so late?" Suddenly, an old voice came from behind Zhu Jue, startling him. When he reacted, Zhu Jue made a small gesture and said softly: "Old man, I actually saw your pier cutting just now, it seems to be a human leg." What is this......" Before he finished speaking, Zhu Jue suddenly realized something, since the old man and Dunzi lived under the same roof, it was impossible not to notice this matter, so it was .......

At this moment, a drop of cold sweat ran down Zhu Jue's cheeks. He turned his head slowly, and by the glimmer of light from the kitchen, he saw that the old man, who had been kind during the day, was now covered with carrion, gray skin was half-hanging, two eyeballs protruding from the sockets, and a pair of yellow teeth were exposed, as if he had just crawled out of the tomb of the dead.

"Ah!" Zhu Jue had never seen such a scene, he exclaimed, and immediately pushed the old man away and rushed towards the attic. At this time, the sound of chopping meat in the kitchen also stopped, and I saw Dunzi push the door and come out, looking the same as the old man, except that his face was more rotten, revealing half of the blackened bones, which were crawling with white maggots. The kitchen knife in his hand was still stained with blood, and it shimmered in the moonlight. The two watched Zhu Jue run upstairs, glanced at each other, and followed unhurriedly.

Zhu Jue quickly rushed to the outside of Qiushui's room and wanted to push the door in, but who knew that the door was locked from the inside. He had to knock on the door repeatedly, but there was no movement inside. In desperation, he took a deep breath and ran to the door of Lin Lin's room again, but he didn't expect the situation to be the same.

"I didn't hear it so loudly, could it be that there was something wrong with the pill I took before going to bed......" At this time, Zhu Jue heard the sound of footsteps coming from the stairs, and he didn't have to think about it to know that it was the two life-reaper ghosts who followed.

"Dunzi, have you given them the medicine?" asked the old man. At this moment, his voice sounded completely devoid of the peaceful feeling of the day, but eerie, revealing a bit of ghostly atmosphere.

"I've seen them eat it with my own eyes, and I don't know what happened to this kid. Dunzi replied.

The two of them walked up to the attic, but they didn't find Zhu Jue in the corridor. Nadun raised the kitchen knife in his hand, came to Zhu Jue's room, and pushed the door open. But at the moment, there was not even half a figure inside, and I didn't know where he had gone. Dunzi was not in a hurry to chase outside, he slowly walked into the room, reached out and opened the cabinet, but it was empty. He opened the curtains again, and there was no figure of Zhu Jue. Dunzi didn't seem to give up, and continued to rummage through the room for a while, until the old man began to urge him. Just as he finally gave up and was about to go out, he suddenly heard what seemed to be movement under the bed. He turned his head, raised his kitchen knife, and gently came to the bed, then jerked open the sheets and slashed them down.

Zhu Jue was limping on the road at the moment. At that time, he saw that the situation was urgent, and he had no choice but to jump from the second floor, but fortunately, the small village was all dirt roads, so he didn't fall and hurt himself, but only twisted his foot. At this moment, the lights of every house in the village have been extinguished, and the whole road is pitch black, except for the moonlight scattered on the ground, showing a miserable white. Zhu Jue's brain is a mess, he has been afraid of this kind of cows, ghosts, snakes and gods since he was a child, every time he sleeps at home alone, he will turn on all the lights, and he rarely gets up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet. Today he was negligent, half-asleep and half-awake, and saw something he shouldn't have seen, but he was really frightened. Now he just wants to run as far as possible, but Qiushui and Lin Lin are still in that haunted house, although they are strong, but they both take that damn pill, it is estimated that they will not wake up for a while, if they are harmed by those two ghost things, wouldn't it ...... As soon as he thought of the bloody half-amputated leg, Zhu Jue stopped and couldn't move forward anymore.

"It's a mouse. In the attic, I saw Dunzi holding half of a dead mouse in his hand, stuffing it into his mouth, chewing it and saying viciously there.

"Don't worry, that kid can't escape. The old man squatted down, picked up the remaining half of the rat on the ground, and put it in his mouth as well.

Just as Zhu Jue was still struggling with whether to go back, he heard a sudden sound of footsteps from the houses on both sides of the road. Zhu Jue was overjoyed in his heart and began to think: "Yes, I can call some helpers to go together, so that I don't have to be afraid of those two monsters who are not human and ghost." Why didn't you think of it earlier?" Thinking like this, Zhu Jue began to shout there: "Is there anyone, help, is there anyone?"

His cries were quickly answered. After a while, I saw the doors of the houses on both sides of the street open one by one.

"The people here are quite enthusiastic, and when I shouted like this, they all came out. Zhu Jue clapped his hands and was about to say something, but found that these people came out one by one, where are the people......
