Trickster Hunter.

Chapter 276 "Female Ghost"

"It's getting late today. If you want to attend tomorrow's sacrificial ceremony, I suggest you go to bed early." The little girl said, "You can stay in any hotel, inn, or empty house in town without paying any fees."

"This sky... isn't it too early?" Sun Hang looked up at the sky. Apart from the bright moon, the pitch-black night always enveloped the entire town. For people living in the Shuzhou area, they have gradually become accustomed to this kind of life night after night.

"We have to prepare for the ceremony. I'll leave you now." The two little girls nodded slightly to Sun Hang and then turned and left.

In the blink of an eye, they turned into an alley and disappeared from Sun Hang's sight.

Sun Hang followed quickly, but when he reached the place where the two little girls disappeared, he found that there was no alley at all, only a solid concrete wall between the two houses.

Sun Hang walked forward and pushed the concrete wall hard.

The wall didn't move.

Sun Hang looked carefully again and there didn't seem to be any secret passages or doors.

"Another trick? Do you not want to be followed by me?" Sun Hang muttered to himself.

He reached out his hand and touched his throat again. The big hole in his throat was still there. He put his fingers into the hole and could even feel the mucous membrane inside the esophagus and the muscle texture under the mucosa.

The edge of the hole was very smooth, without any signs of trauma, as if the hole was originally a part of the normal physiological structure - just like the eye sockets, nostrils and mouth, it was a "channel" connecting the human body to the outside world.

Sun Hang thought for a moment, then took out his mobile phone and switched the camera to the front camera for taking selfies.

Just as he expected, in the picture captured by the camera, the moon behind him was as bright as blood, and his throat was intact - the creepy big hole disappeared silently just as it appeared.

Sun Hang reached out and touched it. His fingertips felt the normal touch of the skin on his neck, the fine sweat hairs and slightly raised hair follicles, as well as the Adam's apple under the skin that slid up and down with the swallowing movement.

Sun Hang stuffed the remaining compressed biscuit into his mouth, chewed it up and swallowed it in no time.

He could clearly feel the food passing smoothly through his esophagus and not leaking out of the "non-existent big hole" in his throat.

"…So, cognition is existence? This is really an idealistic world, huh?"

Sun Hang put his hand on his Adam's apple and moved the camera away.

The next second, the fingertips suddenly felt empty, and half of the hand was pressed directly into the throat.

"Cough cough... Oh my god." Amid a violent cough, Sun Hang quickly pulled his hand out.

The big hole appeared again.

But the good news is that the food you just ate has now passed through this area of ​​the esophagus and has not flown out of the hole.

"Isn't this problem easy to solve? Just put a mirror in front of you when you eat and it will be solved... Why don't people in this town..."

Having said this, Sun Hang suddenly paused.

He suddenly realized that he was different from the people in the town.

The images of the townspeople were very different from those seen with the naked eye and in the mirror, but they had one thing in common, that is, whether they were "human models" or "weird models", they all had a big hole in their throats - this was verified by Sun Hang when he examined those "corpses".

He himself is just the opposite.

Whether it is the Sun Hang seen with the naked eye or the Sun Hang in the mirror, they look the same in appearance - at least the part below the head is the same - but there is one most obvious difference, that is, the Sun Hang in the mirror has no hole in his throat.

Sun Hang put away his phone and looked up at the moon in the sky.

He knew very well that he was always an outsider.

The so-called "becoming a member of Maoyun Town" was most likely a lie told by the two little girls... As for the last outsider who came to Maoyun Town, his situation was probably the same as mine.

Just when Sun Hang was planning to wander around the town for a while, a clear clapper sound suddenly rang out.

A night watchman wearing a straw hat, blue-gray homespun clothes, and straw sandals came over and looked Sun Hang up and down. Sun Hang noticed that the night watchman had no head. A bamboo pole was inserted on his neck, holding up the tattered straw hat. The bamboo pole was wrapped with circles of straw, forming a shape like a human head.

On the front of this straw head, there is a piece of rice paper with a stiff and dull face drawn on it with an ink pen.

"It's getting late." A dull voice came from the watchman's neck, "Stop hanging around in the street."

"Uh... curfew?" Sun Hang suddenly remembered that quarantine areas usually have a curfew system for the convenience of management - just like the current Tianfu City.

"Since you know this, why do you break the rules?" The night watchman sounded a little dissatisfied.

"What will be the punishment for breaking the rules?" Sun Hang asked.

"The mayor will be very unhappy."

"If the mayor is unhappy...what will happen?"

"Tomorrow's sacrificial ceremony may be cancelled, and everyone will suffer from hunger because of you."

"..."

Sun Hang originally wanted to rebel, but when he heard that the other party might directly cancel the sacrificial ceremony, he couldn't help but feel shaken.

After careful consideration, he decided not to cause any trouble.

"Okay, okay, I'll find a place to stay right away."

Sun Hang turned back to the Zhou family's yard, kicked open the gate that had been repaired at some unknown time, and walked in with a swagger.

Most of the houses in the town are old and dilapidated, and the Zhou family compound is a rare "luxury house".

"Sorry to bother you. Please stay for one night." Sun Hang said loudly towards the main house.

Originally, Sun Hang still felt a little guilty about wiping out an entire family. However, after hearing that the "people" in the town all had "immortality BUFF" and that the Zhou family's children were killed because they touched something they shouldn't have touched and were not killed by Sun Hang, Sun Hang's guilt suddenly disappeared.

"Wuwuwu..." A burst of resentful crying came from all directions. A ball of hair wrapped in a robe floated out from the main house, huddled far away in a corner, "looking" at Sun Hang.

This time, "she" did not pounce on Sun Hang like a madman.

I don’t know if it was because of fear or because I knew the real cause of my child’s death.

"Don't be afraid, ma'am. I just want to stay for one night." Sun Hang waved at the hair. "My last name is not Cao. Why are you so far away from me? Please come over and talk."

The bunch of hair did not float over, but stayed still in the same place. The hair strands moved back and forth, and it looked as if they were shaking.

"I won't hurt you, don't be afraid of me." Sun Hang changed his tone to a more normal one, "I just have a few questions for you."

"Wuwuwu..." Sun Hang responded with a sad cry. "I remember you could speak. Didn't you keep shouting 'Give me back my son's life' before? Why can you only whine now?" Sun Hang scratched his head, "Could it be that something went wrong with your vocal organs when you were resurrected? That's not right. You don't have normal vocal organs either?"

The ball of hair retreated a few steps and was almost sticking to the wall of the main house.

"If you don't come over, I will go over there?" Sun Hang said.

The other party trembled obviously, then slowly floated towards Sun Hang. Finally, it stopped about five meters away from Sun Hang and was unwilling to get any closer no matter what.

Sun Hang simply sat out in the yard, took out an alcohol stove from his backpack, set it on the ground, and lit a fire - Zhou's yard was good in every way except for one thing: there was no light source. If you wanted to see something, you had to rely on the moonlight from the sky or the scattered light from the nearby houses. The whole yard was dark, and visibility was much worse than on the street.

It was only a little brighter when Sun Hang set the fire just now. Now that the fire is out, everything has returned to its original state.

As the alcohol stove was lit, Sun Hang let out a long sigh: "Huh... I feel much more comfortable now."

He looked up at the ball of hair, waved his hand and said, "Would you like to come over and warm yourself by the fire?"

The hair expressed its refusal by retreating a few inches.

"Alright, whatever you want. I'll leave at dawn anyway." Sun Hang nodded. "As long as you can answer a few questions for me, I promise not to hurt you."

When Sun Hang set the entire Zhou family compound on fire, he was sure that he had not lost all his abilities. At least, that unpredictable strange physique was still there.

"...What...do you...want to ask?" A soft female voice came from inside the hair.

If the one who shouted "Give me back my son's life" before was a fierce ghost, then now this guy seems to have turned into a gentle and delicate female ghost... Sun Hang remembered that it seemed that the Japanese had created a lot of R18 books based on Sadako. If the existence of this person was known by those cartoonists, there might be a lot of new works on some websites overnight.

Wife, mother, widow... these are all hot search tags, and with some contrasting plot, it would be hard not to be popular.

As long as you are brave enough, even weird things can take maternity leave.

The only pity is that the figure under the robe is too skinny.

As far as Sun Hang remembers, in the only Sadako book he had ever read, the heroine got stuck on the screen when she was crawling out of the screen because the size of a certain part of her body was too exaggerated, and in the end she was taken advantage of by the hero.

"Ah...big is beautiful, big is good." Sun Hang couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

But right now, business is the most important thing.

"There must have been an outsider in Maoyun Town before." Sun Hang pointed at himself, "An outsider like me."

"Yes, there was... an outsider..." The other person nodded his non-existent head, "but he is... different from you."

"Uh, what's the difference?" Sun Hang asked immediately.

"He...is...a human..."

"You mean... I'm not a human?" Sun Hang had a complicated expression.

There was no answer.

No answer probably means yes.

Sun Hang let out a sigh of relief, but it was not wrong for the other party to think so. How could a normal person burn the entire yard with his own blood?

I'm afraid these weird things look at me just like ordinary people look at weird things...

"How long has he lived in Maoyun Town?"

"Two months... three months..."

"Is it two months or three months?"

"..."

"Well, maybe that's not important." Sun Hang asked, "Do you know his name?"

"Li...Li Junwen."

Sun Hang had never heard of this name, and he didn't know whether this person returned to the civilized world alive after leaving Maoyun Town. If he entered this name into the archives of Tianshu Tower, he might be able to find something with his authority, but the prerequisite was that Sun Hang had to return to his original world.

"Is he the same as you?" Sun Hang asked again, "I mean, immortal."

“Not… the same.” The ghost girl shook her head, her black hair fluttering in the wind. In the light of the fire, her shadow on the stone swayed as well. “He did not… accept… the original blessing… and he will die. But… as long as… he leaves… he can… eat his fill.”

"You mean, as long as he leaves Maoyun Town, he can get rid of the curse... or in other words, get rid of the blessing?"

"The things he eats...will not...fall out..." the female ghost said, "but he...will still...feel hungry...endlessly...hungry."

"Then why don't I feel hungry? Is it because I just had a meal not long ago?"

"..."

"Do I have to stay in town for a while before I become as insatiable about food as you are?"

"..."

"You don't know, or you don't want to answer?"

"..."

"Okay, let me change the question." Sun Hang looked at the female ghost, "Your true form is just a bunch of hair. Can you get hungry? If you are hungry, how can you eat? You don't even have a mouth."

"..."

Sun Hang looked the ghost girl up and down, and immediately slapped his forehead: "Oh, I understand! Turn around."

The female ghost floated in place, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly turned around.

Sun Hang took out his cell phone.

The female ghost in the camera is no longer a ball of fleshless hair, but a pale, skinny woman with very long hair that drags on the ground. It is hard not to worry that she will accidentally trip herself while walking.

Although Sun Hang couldn't see her front, there should be a big hole on her throat.

"It's a bit strange. Why do the other townspeople look like humans to my naked eyes, but they become deformed flesh and blood in the mirror? But for you, it's the opposite - what I see with my naked eyes are weird creatures, but in the mirror, they look somewhat like humans."
