Chapter 243: Cannibalism
The husband Liu Laoba has been in a panic these days.
When he went out at night, he always felt that someone was following him behind him, and the feeling of being like a thorn in his back was very uncomfortable. It's just that Huo Ran turned around, and the back was empty, but he saw the thick darkness, and the long shadow of himself that was dragged on the ground by the light of the lantern in his hand......
For several nights in a row, Liu Laoba was terrified, and hurriedly reported the matter to his superiors and officials.
The officials asked him if he had found anything unusual.
Liu Laoba told the truth, and the official scolded him, saying that he was suspicious and suspicious.
Liu Laoba couldn't, so he could only continue to make changes, comforting himself in his heart: Maybe he really thought too much......
Tonight, the moon is dark and the wind is high, and there may be winter rain.
When the hour came, Liu Laoba left the house neatly dressed and walked along the street as usual, ready to signal the time.
The wind was a little strong, and it was blowing a chill on the face. He held the lantern tightly for fear of being blown off by the wind.
It was night, the streets were empty, and there was no one left. The houses on both sides were lined up, one by one, and the slightest light could not be seen.
By this time, people were already asleep.
Liu Laoba shrunk his neck, muttered a sentence in his mouth, and continued walking.
Here it is, the feeling of someone watching behind me comes again, and it seems that two eyes fall on his back, looking very uncomfortable.
Liu Laoba held back and told himself in his heart that everything was an illusion.
However, the hallucinations are becoming more and more real, as if there is a large ant crawling on its back, its furry legs scratching the skin and tickling.
He couldn't help but free his hand and touched his back, but there was nothing.
"What the hell is going on?"
Liu Laoba scratched his head, in order to strengthen his courage, he rang the gong in his hand, and when it sounded, it was extremely loud on the silent street: "The cold wave is coming, close the doors and windows!"
I couldn't help but speed up my pace.
Then the feeling of being gazed at is like an appendage, lingering, and sweeping back into my heart again.
This time, it felt a little heavier. It's no longer a big ant, but like a hairy-footed spider, cruising on its back. It swam faster and faster, and its sharp limbs and feet were pulling, as if it wanted to tear open Liu Laoba's skin and devour the flesh inside......
"Who?"
Liu Laoba turned his head abruptly and shouted. There was a tremor in the cheers, revealing the panic in his heart.
If the wind responds, it whines. A little farther away, there was a cloud of darkness, splashed with ink, and no one knew what was hidden in the darkness.
Liu Laoba's eyes widened, and he looked around, only to feel eight mouthfuls of dryness. Then he turned sharply and walked forward as if he were fleeing.
Whew......
There was a rustling sound behind him, as if a monster was crawling, and the sound was terrifying.
This time, Liu Laoba didn't dare to look back, and almost ran.
Call!
Suddenly, a strange wind rolled up, the lantern in his hand went out, and the whole world seemed to be completely darkened all of a sudden.
Liu Laoba lost his vision, tripped under his feet, and fell to the ground with a pop. Both knees were broken, and it hurt a lot. He didn't care about the pain, he felt that someone was approaching, it was extremely real, but there was no light, and he couldn't see it clearly.
"You, who are you?"
Yet darkness enveloped him.
Rustling......
A subtle sound swept in, as if eating away at something.
......
"Your Excellency, Your Excellency!"
In the morning, there is sunshine pouring in through the windowsill, bringing a bit of warmth.
Chen Tang sat at the table, his face was quite solemn.
At this time, Master Wang Mo ran in panting: "My lord, someone died again last night, and he was a husband." ”
Chen Tang asked, "How is the state of death?"
"It's exactly the same as the previous ones, it was eaten so that only a pair of bones remained, it was really miserable, if it weren't for some clothes and things, I wouldn't be able to recognize it. ”
Wang Mo said, shivering all over his body, shuddering.
Chen Tang raised his eyebrows: "If I remember well, it's already the ninth." ”
Wang Mo nodded: "Yes, now the people in the city are panicking, and all kinds of rumors are flying all over the sky, saying that there are man-eating monsters in the city." Some families have chosen to flee out of the city. ”
Chen Tang reached out and rubbed his forehead.
In the past few days, there have been incidents one after another. The victims were a mixed group of farmers, traffickers, husbands, and even children...... They died a miserable death, and their flesh and blood were eaten cleanly, leaving only a fine skeleton, which made people look at it, and it was really palpitating.
Such a thing is unusual for a discerning person to see it.
For a time, Chen Tang also suspected that this matter had something to do with the Huang family. However, after thinking about it carefully, I felt that the nature was different, and it was likely to be a separate demonic accident.
As the saying goes: When a country is about to die, there will be demons.
I remember last year's wave, the emperor died, natural and man-made disasters, and under the major state capitals, there were frequent strange and ominous appearances.
Those things, when he was in Panzhou, Chen Tang heard a lot of things from Zhao Sanye and Zhan Yangchun.
He didn't know what the inevitability was, and the whole situation, like a dilapidated house, shook and shaken. As a result, the cockroaches, rats, ants, and other creatures that originally lived in the shadows all ran out one after another, jumping around one by one......
That's what happened.
To put it philosophically, the original rules of order with constraints and restrictions have been destroyed, and then all kinds of cows, ghosts, gods and snakes have come out to make trouble.
Therefore, in the current situation, not only Nanfu County, but other places must have encountered similar incidents.
"My lord, what should I do?"
Wang Mo asked cautiously. He knew that his adults had the ability to kill demons, but what had happened in the past few days was quite treacherous, and it looked very difficult to deal with.
Since the first incident, Chen Tang has been riding a rouge horse to search around, but unfortunately, he has not found any valuable clues so far.
Dengdenden!
The person who came was Du Wangyun, the county lieutenant, who was also unable to sleep and eat for a while, and his lips were blistering with anxiety, but he came in now, not to talk about the case, but to say another thing: Wu Yunyou, the old county magistrate, had been implemented a few days ago, and the formalities had been completed, and he officially left office today. The new candidates will be appointed by the state government, and there is no clear statement yet.
Wu Yunyou left his post and retired, and before leaving, according to the etiquette of officialdom, Chen Tang had to represent the county government to hold a banquet in the restaurant, conduct a feast, and talk about his heart.
When Du Wangyun came in, he was talking about this. After finishing speaking, the topic changed and suggested to Chen Tang that he send a letter to the state government for help and send the masters of the nine doors.
These are the best choices when the place encounters strange things and is unable to deal with them.
Chen Tang thought about it and nodded in agreement. Since you can borrow the nine doors, you don't have to carry everything by yourself, and although you are in the system, although you are subject to many constraints, the resources in the system do not have to be in vain.
However, it will take a while to send a letter to the state government, come and go, and wait for someone to come, and it is impossible to be on call.
During this period, he had to be ordered to go down and step up manpower patrols and vigilance to prevent further incidents.
