Located in Fengyang County, Nanzhili, there is a very inconspicuous town, Qingshui Town. It is only more than 100 kilometers away from Yingtian City, and it is a necessary place for business travelers to stop and rest.

Qingshui Town is not very prosperous town, and there are only fifty or sixty households inside and out. Because it is relatively close to the county seat of Fengyang County, the people here can be regarded as having enough food and clothing.

But in such a seemingly peaceful and quiet town, recently, something strange suddenly happened......

When it was just dark, a man of five years and three thick, was humming a ridiculous little tune while carrying a wooden stick to wander back and forth in the town.

His name is Niu Dali, and he is the chief of Qingshui Town. There were no officials in this town, and in order to protect themselves, the townspeople gathered a dozen able-bodied men in the town to form a militia. And Niu Dali is the leader of this gang of militias.

Today, it happened to be his turn and his three brothers to be on duty. After supper, the man, who was bolder than an ox, began to wander aimlessly around the town, carrying his wooden stick that had once beaten wolves. The main duty of these militiamen is to patrol the security of the town. Especially at night, if there are any weasels that get into the chicken coop at night, or some thieves who steal at night, these patrolling militiamen will blast them out as soon as possible.

Before coming out today, Niu Dali drank some more wine. At this moment, being blown by the night wind on his body, this man with five big and three thick suddenly felt a little up.

Holding the dim lantern, the man staggered down the quiet path of the town. During the day, this road is full of people, and from time to time you can see the eldest girl and the little daughter-in-law of the family cleaning the yard or drying clothes. Niu Dali actually likes to patrol here during the day, he is the chief of security, the old and young in the town, who dares not to give him some face. Especially when you meet a beautiful big girl, you can also take the opportunity to bargain for a few words.

But in the evening, that all changed. In the dark town, not even half a figure can be seen. Not to mention the big girl, even a female ghost can't be seen.

At the thought of the female ghost, this stout man suddenly shuddered for no reason. He is usually bold and thieves, and he dares to go up with a stick and beat any jackal, tiger and leopard. But once he talked about these spirits and ghosts, the man was a little afraid in his heart.

As he walked, Niu Dali came to the charred wasteland at the east end of the town. Looking up at this piece of charred wasteland that had been burned for some reason, the cow spat vigorously and heavily, and then the man muttered angrily:

"What a fucking bad luck, how did you get here. ”

By the dim light of the lantern in his hand, the man glanced at the ruins of charcoal in a daze. Suddenly, he seemed to see several points of light drifting out of the pitch-black ruins.

The man, who knew what had happened in this ruin, suddenly pricked his hairs all over his body, and ran back along the path he had come.

ran out more than a hundred feet away, and the man, who was already a little out of breath, let out a long breath. He turned his head to look at the winding path, and muttered scoldingly:

"His grandmother's, I'll have to talk to the mayor another day and clear the wasteland. Every time the province passes by there, they have to be scared. ”

Muttering as he turned around and continued his patrol. In a flash of the lantern, two pale faces suddenly appeared in front of him.

Mom screamed, and Niu Dali was so frightened that he hurriedly took a few steps back.

Looking at the man's panicked appearance, the two faces immediately let out a sneering sound:

"Eh, you're also afraid of ghosts?"

Forcibly stabilizing his figure, Niu Dali saw clearly that the two faces were not ghosts at all, but the two townspeople who were patrolling with him in shifts tonight.

Embarrassed and angry, he rushed over and kicked the two men twice, and the bull roared angrily:

"Fuck off! Ma Liu, Zhao Si, why did you two get here?"

Looking at the sturdy man with an innocent face, the two men who could only fight on weekdays asked rhetorically:

"Brother Niu, we still want to ask you. Shouldn't you have gone to the east of the town, why did you come back again?"

Rubbing his nose in a wry, Niu Dali didn't want his subordinates to know that he was panicking because he was afraid, and the five big and three rough men said perfunctorily with some embarrassment:

"What's inside...... I've drunk a little too much here...... Walk confused ......."

After staring at each other for a while, Ma Liu and Zhao Si asked with some confusion:

"So what now? Are you with us, or ......?"

Waving his hand a little annoyed, Niu Dali said angrily:

"Go, go, you go east, I'll go west. ”

Without waiting for the two of them to talk, the five big and three thick men walked in the direction of the west of the town with wooden sticks on their shoulders.

I don't know how far he walked, Niu Dali always felt as if there was a pair of eyes staring at him behind him, and the feeling of thorns in his back made this man uncomfortable.

Looking back coldly, under the cold moonlight, only a dark path remained behind him, and even half a figure could not be seen.

The five big and three thick men still turned their heads a little suspiciously, and he continued to walk while muttering.

But at this moment, on an old locust tree on the side of the road, a firefly the size of a fingernail suddenly flew up. The little insect emitted a strange blue light, and swooped down towards the man's location.

With a click, the small firefly landed on the man's back accurately, but before it could make the next move, a big fan-like hand snorted towards it.

Flipping over the palm of his hand, Niu vigorously looked at the struggling firefly in his palm, and muttered with some disgust;

"His grandmother's, since the demon girl died, I thought there were no fireflies in the town. What a fucking bad luck, how did you come across such a thing?"

But when his voice fell, he saw that the firefly in his hand suddenly emitted a strange faint blue fluorescence, and then, Niu Dali felt a burning pain suddenly come from the center of his palm.

Shaking his hands indiscriminately, the five big and three thick men wanted to throw away the strange insect in their hands.

But then, something happened that made him desperate. The firefly, the size of a fingernail, suddenly turned out two rows of hideous giant claws, and actually went straight into the burned wound in the man's palm.

Cow Rali watched in horror as the strange worm arched a bulge under his skin, and then crawled up his arm. The bulge went on a rampage, first to his chest, then to his abdomen, and finally to his heart.

The sharp pain that pierced his heart suddenly spread all over his body, and this man, who usually couldn't snort when he was scraped by the mountain rock, actually let out a heart-rending wail.

He kept tearing at his clothes, his sharp nails leaving a terrible scar on his body. The five big and three rough men ran out of the alley like crazy demons.

His ghostly wolf-like howl woke up the people of Qingshui Town in an instant, and the yellow candles lit up one by one, and those bold townspeople rushed out in their clothes to see what was going on.

But then, they saw a picture that they will never forget.

A man of five big and three thick men was wailing and running for his life. His body burned with a strange ghostly blue spiritual fire. What's even more bizarre is that the flame didn't come from outside of him, but from inside him. Strange flames kept coming out from under his skin, and when you looked closer, you could even see the bones and internal organs in his body like charcoal fire. As the man ran wildly, large chunks of charred skin fell off his body, and clumps of still burning slime were scattered all the way. The pungent smell of barbecue and the disgusting stench came to the face, spreading all the way through the place where the man passed.

After a while, the man, who had looked like a big bear, was burned to the ground with only a skeleton and bits of minced meat. The strange human form burning with blue fire, like a burning roast pig, slammed headlong into the old locust tree at the head of the village.

All of a sudden, the man who had burned to the point that there was nothing left scattered on the ground, and the strange blue fire was quietly extinguished.

It was only at this moment that the crowd erupted in horror. A terrible scream instantly spread throughout Qingshui Town, and no one expected that this nightmare-like experience had just begun.
