Shi Sheng propped up his chin and listened to the story. He asked one of the children, "How did you suddenly appear last night?"
Last night, these children appeared out of thin air. Since they were not ghosts, how could they appear out of thin air?
Could it be that he had special abilities?
"There is a passage under the square." The child did not hide it.
They heard that the passage was dug by their ancestors. As for what it was used for, they did not know.
When they were young, they liked to play in it. The adults did not forbid them. They were very familiar with the passage below.
It was not difficult for the petite child to appear in the square without making a sound.
"Little girl, don't be fooled by them. They are the ghosts!" The group of adults also began to make noise.
"Little girl, you have to believe us. They are the ghosts. They are lying to you."
The villagers' story was the complete opposite of the children's.
They said that these children died in the fire. After they buried the bodies, the children suddenly came back one after another seven days. They had no temperature, no shadow, and were very hungry. They ate everything.
They were very afraid. Although these were their children, who could accept that their children had become ghosts?
Most importantly, their appearance was too frightening. At midnight, they did not recognize their relatives. When it was not serious, they would just beat people. When it was serious, they would eat people.
They had never heard of a ghost eating a human.
If it was not so, they would not be so afraid of them.
They found people to take them away, but the people they found were all killed by them. The couple they mentioned was also the people who came to take them away.
The children said that the adults were ghosts, and the adults said that the children were ghosts.
So who was the ghost?
Shi Sheng looked up at the sky. The sun was not far away. In a while, it would shine on the square.
"Little girl, you have to believe us. We will not harm you. If you really believe them, you will die." The village chief was a little anxious. He kept looking at the sun from the corner of his eyes.
Shi Sheng held his chin and did not move. He waited for the sun to shine.
As the sun came closer, the villagers' faces became worse. When the first ray of sunlight shone on a villager's body, his skin suddenly made a sizzling sound.
His exposed skin began to rot as if it had been splashed with sulfuric acid.
"See, I told you they were ghosts." The children pointed at the villagers. "We are not afraid of the sun."
"Who told you that ghosts are afraid of sunlight?" Shi Sheng glanced at them with a smile on his face. "Besides, you have human bodies. How can you be afraid of sunlight? Are you retarded?"
The voices of the children stopped abruptly, leaving only the screams of the villagers.
Shi Sheng stepped forward to untie the villagers. As he untied them, he said, "What are you? Spirits? Or a demon? Or a ghost? "
The villagers were untied and helped to walk under the eaves of the ancestral hall, blocking the sunlight.
The children were still exposed to the sunlight. Other than their pale faces, which were a little abnormal, there was nothing different about them.
"You … How did you know?"
Shi Sheng's lips curled into a smile. "You guys smell too bad."
Corpses were corpses after all. They would always carry a rotting smell.
They struggled to get up. Shi Sheng calmly stretched out her hand and casually tapped the air twice with her fingertips. "Don't waste your energy. The ropes used to tie you guys up are made of extra material. You bunch of useless brats won't be able to break free."
The children's faces changed dramatically. They lowered their heads and looked at the ropes that tied them up.
The hemp ropes were faintly golden. The more they struggled, the more uncomfortable they felt.
They looked at the ropes that were thrown on the ground and tied up the villagers. They were just ordinary hemp ropes.
She already knew?
With this knowledge, they knew that this woman in front of them was not to be trifled with. They began to beg for mercy.
"Let us go. We were also threatened. We are here to watch over these people."
"Please let us go. We didn't do it on purpose …"
The children begged for mercy. They were just spirits in the mountains. Suddenly, one day, a man caught them and forced them into the bodies of these people, asking them to watch over the villagers.
If they didn't obey, they would die.
It wasn't easy for them to cultivate to this level. They didn't want to die so inexplicably. They could only agree to that man.
"What's that man's name?" Someone was actually plotting a conspiracy here!
"I don't know. We don't even know what he looks like. He is shrouded in a layer of black fog."
Shi Sheng's cold gaze swept over them. The children trembled. "We … really, really don't know."
"Please let us go. We didn't hurt them. We just trapped them."
"We only killed a few people. They didn't listen to us and ran out. We did it according to that man's orders. We really didn't want to."
"It's none of my business." Shi Sheng rolled his eyes. They didn't kill her.
Previously, these spirits didn't seem to want to kill her. They just wanted to chase her away.
"Every injustice has its perpetrator and every debt has its debtor. Look, the person you asked for is over there." Shi Sheng raised his chin at the villagers under the eaves.
…
The villagers' skin would burn when they came in contact with the sun. This also started after the children came back from the dead. They didn't know the exact reason.
The villagers didn't expect the ending to be like this. Their children died, and in the end, their bodies were taken over by strange things. How could they accept this?
However, the villagers still planned to let the spirits go.
Shi Sheng didn't comment on this. Anyway, she wasn't the one who was injured. Why should she worry?
"Wait!" Shi Sheng called out to the spirits.
The spirits turned around. Their attitude was respectful and fearful. "Great Immortal, do you have any other orders?"
"You said that there was another child. Where's Da Zhuang?" The villagers had been looking for him. However, until this matter was resolved, this child still hadn't shown up.
"Da Zhuang? He's a living person. We were afraid that people would find out that he was different. That's why we followed him. "
The spirits' words were like a stone that stirred up a thousand ripples.
Da Zhuang was a living person?
The villagers thought that these children were ghosts. They didn't think that Da Zhuang was a living person.
After all, he had also met with the accident and been buried with these children. It was just that he had returned later than these children.
Shi Sheng asked them to describe Da Zhuang's appearance. He looked similar to the child she saw last night.
She went straight to the yard. The villagers didn't know why, but they followed her.
After kicking the door open, Shi Sheng saw the two large water tanks. The straw on top of the tanks was gone.
Shi Sheng went closer to the water tank. A foul smell hit him. Half of the tank was filled with black liquid.
Shi Sheng covered his mouth and nose. This was blood. It was accumulated blood.
As for whether it was human blood or animal blood, he didn't know.
The cat she saw last night should have been raised with this.
