Chapter 273: The Moonless Night, the Time of Sacrifice

Everyone was very surprised by Ah Yue's reaction and attitude, but they didn't expect that this was far from over.

Ah Yue glared viciously at a pair of eyes and looked around, almost gritting his teeth and scolding angrily: "Hey, you guys...... You'll be like the dead anyway! will all die! ”

"Smack!"

As soon as Ah Yue said this, Monk Ah Xiao couldn't bear it anymore, and raised his hand and gave Ah Yue a slap, which made these children in the house, as well as Saitama and the little monk Jiyu, a little surprised.

"Enough Ah Yue, what you said is too much!" Monk Ah Xiao obviously endured to the extreme, so he hit Ah Yue.

"You! You guys! I'm going to make you look good! After Ah Yue finished speaking, he turned around and ran.

"Ah Yue!" When Monk Ah Xiao chased him out again at this time, Ah Yue's young figure had already burrowed into the dark night and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

"Ah Yue! Come back! Monk Ah Xiao chased to the door and shouted loudly, but there was no reply.

"How's it going? Brother Laugh. ”

"That kid ran into the night, it's too dangerous now, I'll have to go find him." Monk Ah Xiao said anxiously.

"It's so late, if you go out and meet a cannibal ghost, it's going to be troublesome, so I'd better go find it." Saitama said.

"Nope! You've just arrived, and you don't know much about the situation around here, so it's better for me to go. Monk Ah Xiao stopped.

At this time, Jiyu Yiyuan came out and said: "That's it, let Saitama and Brother Ah Xiao go with you, I am here to take care of the temple and these children, anyway, there are incense candles of wisteria flowers here, it is still relatively safe, Brother Ah Xiao, you are with Saitama, he is very powerful, no matter how powerful the cannibal demon is, he is not his opponent!" ”

"Well, that's fine, then I'll go with Saitama, you take care of the house, remember, no matter what happens outside, take care of these children, and then remember my words, don't let the wisteria flower candle go out!" Monk Ah Xiao said solemnly with a serious expression, and repeatedly admonished.

Ji Yu Yiyuan nodded: "I understand Brother Xiao, you also have to pay attention to safety." ”

"Well, let's go, Saitama"

"Hmm."

Monk Ah Xiao said, brought two torches, and then set off with Saitama.

After seeing Monk Ah Xiao and Saitama leave, Ji Yu Yiyuan listened to Monk Ah Xiao's instructions, closed the door of the temple, and retreated.

On the side of the dark temple wall, Ah Yue's young body slowly leaned out, glanced at the two people in the distance with disdain, and then showed a hideous smile that did not match his age.

Saitama and Monk Ah Xiao held torches and walked along the avenue, shouting the name of the young Ah Yue as they walked, but in the silent and empty mountains and forests, the voices of the two were like mud cows entering the sea, and there was no response.

Time passed slowly, the night was getting deeper, today the sky was overcast, covering the light of the stars and moon, and in the darkness where you couldn't see your fingers, only the torches held by Saitama and Monk Ah Xiao were faintly bright, and the flames were fluttering in the cold wind, as if they would be ruthlessly extinguished at any time.

"Ah Yue! Where are you? ”

"Ah Yue ......"

Monk Ah Xiao was anxious on his face, and he was a little remorseful at the moment, Saitama followed to look for it, and he could obviously feel Monk Ah Xiao's remorse and impatience at this time.

Saitama was trying to persuade and comfort him, when the sound of "Dangdangdang...... a hurried gong came from a distance.

The two of them followed the sound and found that it was in the direction of the town not far away.

Normally, not long after nightfall, the town of Yatsushiro Castle should have a lot of light, if not brightly lit, but it was pitch black, only a little dark green light was flickering and dimming, and the rapid sound of the gong came and went quickly, as if it suddenly rang in a panic, and then disappeared completely.

"What's going on over there?" Saitama looked at Monk Ah Xiao on the side and asked suspiciously.

When Monk Ah Xiao heard the sound of the gong, his face was very ugly, his brows were tightly locked, and his breathing became very heavy and disordered.

"Ah, are you alright?" Saitama asked again.

Monk Ah Xiao suddenly sighed heavily, but his brows were still tightly locked, and his face was even more sad, he turned his head to look at Saitama and said, "How could this be, I actually met a 'sacrifice' in the town at this time......"

A look of resentment and unwillingness appeared on Monk Xiao's face, but in the end he made a lot of determination, and then said to Saitama: "Let's go Saitama, we won't look for it tonight, as for Ah Yue, he ......"

"Huh? Why didn't you look for it all of a sudden, saying, what is the sacrifice? Saitama asked again.

"Every once in a while, on a moonless night, a pair of fifteen-year-old boys and girls will be sacrificed in the town, and there is no Amitabha Buddha in the south, and the sin is ......"

"Sacrifice a pair of boys and girls? Sacrifice to what? Is that what it means to kill them? ”

"I ...... I don't know, the people in the town don't talk about it, I don't know much about it, but it is said that as long as the sacrifices are performed every once in a while, they can bless the safety of the people of Yachishiro-gun......" Monk Ah Xiao said with some hesitation.

When Saitama heard this, he suddenly remembered that when he and the little monk Jiyu had just come to Yatsushiro County, the depressed appearance of the town, except for some old people, rarely saw any young people, I am afraid that it had something to do with this so-called "sacrifice".

"Alright then, let's go see, maybe some cannibal demon is causing trouble in this place, if it's a cannibal demon, I'll overdo it." Saitama was about to act, but Monk Ah Xiao was hesitant.

"Saitama, let's not go over there......"

"Huh? Why? How can you watch two innocent boys and girls being killed inexplicably? ”

"Saitama ......" Monk Ah Xiao stopped talking, but still reminded him: "Saitama, I can tell you that this is indeed the work of a man-eating demon, but the existence of this evil ghost has a complicated relationship with the residents of the town, if you ......"

"As long as it's a man-eating demon, then it just needs to be destroyed, and I won't allow any innocent person to be harmed by this kind of thing!" Saitama didn't listen to Monk Axiao's words at all, so he jumped up and rushed towards the faint light and trance town of Yashiro.

"Saitama, don't go!" Monk Ah Xiao hurriedly chased after him.

Monk Ah Xiao never thought that he had originally come out to find Ah Yue, who had run away, but now he fell into this kind of thing for no reason.

Saitama's speed was so fast that Monk Ah Xiao couldn't catch up at all, but fortunately, their original location was not far from the town of Yashiro.

Saitama had just approached the vicinity of Yashiro Town, and when he was still some distance away, he heard the terrible cry of a young man and a girl:

"Woo woo, mother, help me, I don't want to die......"

"Help, I don't want to be eaten......"

When he came to the street, Saitama noticed at a glance what it was that flickering and shining and emitting a strange light.

It was a swamp-like thing, emitting an eerie glow, and it was at the feet of the young man and girl, gradually swallowing the two of them as they sank.
