Chapter 116: Monsters
Although the six human bones are all mutilated, the parts on their bodies add up to just match the monster that the young man said, could it be that the six people lying in the courtyard were treated as monsters before their lives?
"Maybe a drunkard passing by sees six people in the courtyard and thinks they are monsters, but not necessarily, after all, there are so many evil things in this world, and maybe there is something really there."
Zhang Tude secretly thought to himself in his heart, anyway, the robe of transformation has been obtained by him, no matter what is in the house, he just needs to stay away, but when he sees the curious young man, he still has to do something before leaving.
"Little brother, do you really want to see what's in the house?"
"Well, uncle, just let me take a look."
Zhang Tude saw the young man like this, even if he drove him away now, he would come secretly in the future, if there were really monsters in this house, then the young man's life would be gone.
"Okay, come over here, I'll take you in."
When the young man heard Zhang Tude's words, he immediately walked to Zhang Tude's side, looking impatient, but as soon as Zhang Tude opened the door, he grabbed the young man's neck.
"Uncle, what are you doing here?"
"Don't you want to see youkai? I am. As he spoke, Zhang Tude grabbed the young man and walked a few steps into the house, so that the young man could just see the six dry bones in the yard:
"See? Those are the ones I ate them, and they were already full today, but you little cub sent them to the door by yourself. ”
After seeing the dry bones, the young man's face began to turn pale, but Zhang Tude felt that this effect was not enough, so he took out his gourd with strange teeth, and the young man watched the strange gourd open its mouth and spit out a strange finger from it.
This scared the young man so much that he couldn't even speak, Zhang Tude saw that it was almost over, so he deliberately let go of his hand and let the young man run away, looking at the background of the young man, he couldn't help but sigh:
"I've done a good thing, too."
Although the boy may be frightened, and there may be one more rumor about the monster in the city, it can at least make the boy stop his curiosity and stay away from the dangerous place.
After the young man walked away, Zhang Tude closed the door of the house and drove the carriage out of Zhou Li's house.
...............
"It seems to be deserted here."
After Zhang Tude left Zhou Li's house, he drove a horse-drawn carriage around the streets of Qiuyun City, where there were few pedestrians and open shops, and a city was not as lively as Weishan County.
After wandering around for a while, Zhang Tude finally found an inn that was still doing business, and he was going to have a meal here, stay for the night, and prepare to go to Houshu the next day.
may be the reason why there are a few inns in the city, but there are a lot of people in the inn, Zhang Tude entered the inn with the box containing the robe of transformation, ordered a few dishes from Xiao Er, and then found a place to sit down.
Many of the diners in the inn were chatting about something while eating, and Zhang Tude also took the opportunity to listen to some of them, and he found that these people were all chatting about several recent murders in the city.
"Did the man get it? No one in my family is afraid to go out. ”
"No, I heard that he committed another crime the day before yesterday, and a family in the west of the city suffered, and the eldest son who went out of the family survived."
"Well, I heard about it too, and one of my neighbors went to see it, and came back to tell me that those people died miserably, and everyone's stomachs were dug open, and the contents were gone."
"Hey, I heard from a friend that that person seemed to have been an official in other places before, and then because he liked to eat children's liver, he was discovered, so he fled to our Qiuyun City with his family."
"Yes, yes, I also heard that after that beast came to us, he didn't go out all day, and then he couldn't help it, and killed his family, and then he was caught in prison, I don't know how he escaped now?"
Are they talking about the wanted guy at the city gates? Listening to the conversation of these people, Zhang Tude thought of the wanted warrant in the hands of the soldiers guarding the door.
"That guy can't be some kind of evil cultivator, right?"
Originally, Zhang Tude thought that it was an ordinary fugitive, but when he heard these people say that the fugitive not only kills people, but also eats people, this is not a perverted murderer or an evil cultivator.
At this time, Zhang Tude's food also came up, he didn't think about it first, but concentrated on eating, and there were not a few evil weirdos he met along the way, even if there was an evil cultivator in the city, he was not afraid.
"Brother Ji, are we going to eat here?"
"Well, let's make do with it, there are not many shops in this city that are open, and it seems that they are all scared by the murderer."
When Zhang Tude dropped a few pieces of meat and fed the pills under the table, two people walked in from outside the inn and sat at the table next to him, he glanced at it and found that it were two young men dressed gorgeously, who seemed to be the rich young master of which family.
Zhang Tude wanted to continue eating, but what the two young men said caught his attention again:
"Brother Yun, do you say that there really is that conjoined corpse demon in this Qiuyun City? We've got several people in town, and they're all just liars. ”
"Brother Ji don't worry, I've already inquired this time, the Yao Ju people in this city have the bones of a conjoined corpse demon in their homes."
While the two young men were talking energetically, a diner at the other table who was originally discussing the murderer couldn't help but laugh when he heard their words:
"Housheng, I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed, Yao Ju's family is not genuine, he just put a few human bones together and deceived many people.
But speaking of which, the bones left by this conjoined corpse demon can't tell whether they are ordinary people or monsters. ”
After hearing this, the two young men hurriedly asked the diner:
"This brother, hearing you say this, have you ever seen the bones of that monster?"
"Of course." The diner said with a smug face:
"At that time, there were several conjoined corpse demons into Qiuyun City, and I also encountered one, in an alley near the Chunlai Pharmacy in the north of the city, but fortunately, the monster didn't notice me and went directly into a big mansion.
The corpses in the back were all dead, and I sneaked into the house to take a look, and found that there were several bones there.....
The house that the diner said was Zhou Li's, and the six human bones in the courtyard were the so-called Siamese Corpse Demons, and from the mouth of the diner, Zhang Tude also knew the origin of the Siamese Corpse Demon.
In the natural disaster that decomposed and disappeared two years ago, the corpses would not decompose, and at that time, Siqi and Houshu were at war, and there were corpses all over the ground.
The piles of corpses remained the same for a long time, and some of the corpses came back to life for some reason, but they were no longer human, they hunted for the living, so they were called corpse demons.
And some corpses are connected together for various reasons, so after becoming corpse demons, they are a conjoined appearance, also known as conjoined corpse demons.
However, this corpse demon plague did not last long, and then the decay returned, and those corpses died quickly, and their corpses were no different from ordinary people.
