The content of dinner in the village is also very simple, it is the most ordinary home-cooked food.

One eggplant, one stuffed tofu, and one sautéed shredded potatoes.

It should have been a very common dish, but I don't know if it's because of the ingredients or the seasoning, this thing looks a little weird when it is served on the table.

I can't say what is wrong, but I always feel like this dish should not be like this.

The old man sprinkled a handful of things into the pot as black as damp earth. But he deliberately blocked the sight in the direction of Liang Ye with his body, as if he wanted to prevent the guests from seeing.

Three dishes were served, only a pair of bowls and chopsticks and a piece of rice, and the old couple were standing next to them gloomily, and they didn't mean to join in.

Liang Ye didn't ask much, picked up the bowl and served the rice, and cleaned the three dishes like a whirlwind, and finally burped, saying that it would be nice to give more salt, but thank you for the hospitality.

During this period, the eyes of the two old men changed from gloomy at the beginning to a touch of surprise gradually, and finally when they finished eating the bowl and put it down, they had turned into looking at each other.

It was like encrypting a call with your eyes. The old lady's eyes are saying are you sure you put things in? The old man gave a look back, and said of course let it go, even if it is an elephant, it should also fall, and the ghost knows how this thing can still be alive.

"By the way, the old man, the two of you are here? Don't have any children? Liang Ye, who was full of wine and food, began to idle and chatter.

The eyelids of the two old men jumped in unison.

At this point, they have all realized that this person is not small today. After a moment of silence, the old man spoke first.

"Once had a son." He said in a hoarse and strange voice, "He got out of the exam, went to university, studied archaeology, ran around all day, and from time to time he would send something strange back and say that it was his new discovery."

Until one day......"

The old man paused, his eyes flickering, and he looked somewhere in the shadows of the room.

“...... They say it's a landslide. My son, brave lad...... He rescued his colleagues, but he didn't get out. ”

"Ah, that's right." Liang Ye showed an apologetic expression, but for some reason his expression looked somewhat insincere, "I'm sorry to remind you of ......"

"No, it doesn't matter anymore. Because he will be back soon. ”

The old man raised an arm and pointed to a dark spot in the room. Liang Ye followed the direction of his finger and saw a bronze mirror hanging above the cabinet, which was engraved with exquisite patterns.

"That's what he brought back. He said that it was older than we imagined, that it was created by someone who had long since passed away, that it had lodged the wishes of some deceased person in ancient times, that it symbolized reunion. ”

"That's true." The old lady also spoke, her voice sharp and unpleasant, "The old man and I both dreamed, just after the collapse. The child gave us a dream, saying that we can still be reunited, and this mirror can do it.

But it's been underground for too long, it's so weak, it needs food......"

"I see."

Liang Ye nodded, indicating that he probably understood.

"So that's why there's always passers-by missing here?"

At this time, the villagers gathered outside the door had already walked in. Their eyes were dull and wooden, but their faces were so gloomy that they could almost drip water.

The tiny room was soon filled. The two old men retreated to the side without a word, while the eccentric villagers quickly filled in.

"You don't look ordinary." The old man said in a hoarse voice, "But no one can stop our family reunion, and no one can come." ”

As he spoke, the villagers approached step by step, looking like puppets controlled by an invisible puppeteer.

At this moment, an extremely sinister mobile phone rang very unexpectedly.

"Gourd baby ~ gourd baby ~ a flower on a vine ~ not afraid of wind and rain ~ lala la la la ~"

All the gloomy villagers were stunned for a moment.

"Ah, sorry it's my call."

Liang Ye made a pause gesture, took out his phone from behind him, and smiled apologetically.

"Wait a minute, I have to take this...... Feed? Ah yes, it's me. ”

The villagers stopped and looked at each other as if making eye contact: What to do? Still mess with him?

Then I don't know what kind of process they went through to encrypt the voice call within the team, but in short, in the end, they came to the conclusion that it seemed to be the first and so on.

Quite polite.

"I'm working here, say hurry up......"

Liang Ye said as he made an embarrassed gesture at them, indicating that it would be over soon.

“...... Urgent task? But my side...... Belch...... Well, okay. Then you wait, I'll call you back right away. ”

Liang Ye hung up the phone and put away the phone, and smiled embarrassedly.

"I'm sorry, but the work is one after another, and the overtime is endless...... By the way, where did we just come from? ”

The villagers continued to look at each other.

A few seconds later.

Boom.

The walls were pierced by great force, and the masonry fell to the ground with a clatter. A young man in the village was blasted through the wall and flew out, rolling on the ground several times before moving.

Then the window was shattered with a clatter, and two shadows were knocked out of it. Then in the direction of the gate, a few more villagers fell and rolled on the path outside the gate.

"Infected...... Infected person...... All are infected. ”

As he spoke, Liang Ye casually removed a young man's shoulder, and then a shoulder bump blasted the latter away, smashing the cabinet against the wall.

"All infected? It's good, it saves you ...... hassle."

As soon as he dodged the kitchen knife attacking from behind him, he grabbed the other party in front of him and twisted his neck.

After a while, the inside and outside of the house were full of fallen villagers.

Liang Ye clapped his hands and walked towards the bronze mirror in the crowd.

"This is supposed to be the source of infection?"

But the moment he reached out and touched the mirror, an astonishing force suddenly erupted from the mirror. Liang Ye was immediately bounced backwards, and also flew out of the house. He rolled backwards on the spot, half-crouched to his feet, squinting his eyes and looking ahead.

A majestic momentum burst out of the mirror, and the roof was pierced through a huge gap. A mass of gel-like inky black things coalesced, gradually gaining substance.

A huge, twisted monster with a body like something made up of countless vine-like things entwined together. It has no normal animal physiology, its entire body wriths in unison, and its pitch-black shell is covered with folds.

"Did you become like this after devouring a lot of spirit?"

Liang Ye stood up and twisted the joint of his lower neck.

The monster's whole body writhed, as if its entire body had turned into a huge slap and fell towards Liang Ye, as if the sky was shattering.

Liang Ye tilted his head, looked at it expressionlessly, and clenched his fists slightly.

Rumble!!!

Lightning.

Like the sword of God, it divides the world in two. The sky thundered as if a blue waterfall had fallen, bursting blue waves on the ground.

......

"Yes, it's me, Liang Ye."

Liang Ye put his backpack back on, packed his things and prepared to leave.

The roof had been pierced, and villagers were lying everywhere inside and out. There was a huge pit in the open space outside the door, like a piece of cake that had been scooped up. The pit was scorched black, and black smoke was slowly emitting.

"Yes, it's over. Ha rest assured, of course there is no residue, don't you feel at ease when I do things? ”

He talked as he prepared to walk out of the house.

"Urgent mission, isn't it? Okay, call the plane to the coordinates I sent, I'll be there in ...... Well? ”

He felt his ankle grab.

It's the old man who lives in this room.

The old man and the old woman fell to the ground and grabbed his trouser leg with trembling hands.

"Please...... Kill us too......"

Liang Ye glanced at the two old men and was silent for a moment.

"Thank you for your hospitality, dinner was delicious."

He smiled.

"I'm sorry though, you're not infected. I only kill the infected. ”

He turned around and walked away without looking back.
