Period drama: Old Cao's carefree life

Chapter 251 This place is unclean!

"Daleda!!"

The Japanese patrol, which had been on edge, was startled by the sudden noise and reflexively pulled the trigger in the direction of the sound.

bang bang bang~~
Gunshots rang out in the quiet night, attracting the attention of the Japanese patrols and waking the local residents from their sleep.

The timid girl huddled under the covers, too terrified to even look.

Those who were a little bolder would peek out through the cracks in the window.

"Luckily, I had the habit of putting them to sleep before I came out, otherwise, the noise alone might have woken them up."

Through the test he had just completed, he was even more certain that these Japanese devils had clearly made prior arrangements in order to catch him, the murderer.

"But so what? In my eyes, you are nothing but lambs to the slaughter."

Cao Weida revealed a playful expression, like a cat toying with a mouse. He glanced at the patrol team that was running towards them at high speed, and then quickly darted into an alley to hide.

As the Japanese soldiers ran quickly through the alley, he threw a flying needle at the last two Japanese soldiers.

Puff~~
Two soft thuds of falling over did not attract the attention of the Japanese soldiers running ahead. After all, the noise from running was not small, and they would not notice it if they did not turn around.

"Hayaku!!"

"Drain your breath!!"

Squads of Japanese soldiers patrolling the area rushed over at top speed, quickly heading in the direction from which the gunfire was coming.

Moreover, they weren't just running around randomly; they had almost completely blocked off all the surrounding intersections.

Ignoring all that, Cao Weida, after confirming his safety, jumped down, stored the Japanese soldier's body in his spatial storage, and then quickly climbed over the wall, using the cover of night to move nimbly across it.

A short while later, they arrived behind another patrol team, killed two Japanese soldiers in the same way, collected their bodies, and then went to another squad.

After killing eight people in this way, Cao Weida clapped his hands and said, "That's enough. It's time to go back and sleep with my concubines!"

"Hmph, you think I can't do anything to you just because you were prepared?"

"Sorry, but I, Cao Ye, have gotten even stronger!!"

What he didn't know was that what happened next was something he hadn't anticipated.

Just as Cao Weida was happily returning home and sleeping with his woman, the Japanese soldiers swarming in from all directions had already reached the firing position.

"Mr. Sheep Dung, where is the enemy?!"

"Sorry, Mr. Dog Shit, it was a cat just now." The sheep-shit little devil's apologetic reply made the dog-shit little devil glare angrily.

"You coward, Sheep Shit-kun! As a soldier of the Great Japanese Empire, you actually fired a gun because you were scared by a cat!"

The Japanese sergeants who rushed over also condemned the sheep-dung Japanese soldiers. They thought they had encountered the enemy, but they never expected this outcome!
After venting their anger, the sergeants planned to take inventory of their men and return to their original patrol route.

But as they continued to search, four patrol teams noticed something was amiss.

Among them were those damn Japanese devils.

"1.2.317.18 Huh?!" The damn Japanese guy suddenly stopped, and in disbelief, clicked again:
"1.2.317.18"

Upon discovering there were still seventeen, the Japanese soldiers were completely dumbfounded: "What?! Where are the two soldiers?!"

A clever fellow said, "Sir, could it be that he went to the toilet?"

The little Japanese soldier thought what he said made sense, but before he could even nod, another Japanese sergeant nearby shouted:
"Baka! Why are two missing?!"

"What?! Your team is missing two people too?!"

"Mine too! Baka! What's going on?!"

The Japanese soldier's face froze instantly. Even if he was stupid, he knew that something seemed wrong.

There are four teams, and each team is short two people. They couldn't all have gone to the bathroom, could they?!
He felt a little panicked and hurriedly called out:

"Baka! Quickly go back the way you came to find it!!!"

The other three teams also realized what was happening and hurriedly led their people back.

The remaining Japanese soldiers looked at each other, then at the pitch-black streets and alleys around them. For some reason, they suddenly felt a chill run down their spines.
"Sir, something seems off," a Japanese soldier in the patrol of the Sheep Dung Japanese said in a trembling voice.

The little Japanese soldier swallowed hard, suppressing his unease, and snapped, "Don't talk nonsense, there's nothing wrong with it!"

"Maybe the Warriors went to the bathroom, or they just fell behind while running!"

"But we can't have people falling behind in all four patrol teams," the Japanese soldier said, his voice trembling with fear. His eyes darted nervously through the dark streets and alleys beyond the streetlights, his face filled with anxiety and utter terror.
"A squad mysteriously disappeared last night, and today four squads have lost two men each. No one in the squad noticed, sir. This is definitely not right!!" "Don't talk nonsense! That's just someone playing tricks! Don't scare yourself!"

Despite saying that, Sergeant Sheep Dung's own legs began to tremble uncontrollably.

It's not fair to blame them for having wild thoughts. These soldiers are just ordinary people from the lower classes. Although they have received systematic education, they only have primary school education.

Let alone someone with only an elementary school education, even someone with a university education, what difference does it make if they're faced with something so bizarre? Who wouldn't feel uneasy?

In small island nations, beliefs in ghosts and gods are very prevalent. After experiencing such a bizarre scene, how could they not associate it with those things?

What is the most terrifying thing in the world?
It's unknown!!

When faced with the unknown, people feel fear, and this fear often leads them to associate things with even more terrifying aspects.

The self-deceptive words of the Japanese devils are clearly not very convincing.

Fear spreads, and as the Japanese soldiers passed on their fears one by one, all of them began to feel uneasy.

After searching around, the four teams couldn't find even a hair on the two missing people. When they returned to the place, the fear suddenly erupted completely.

"Ah!! Mom! I want to go home!!"

"Waaaaah~~ Damn it, how could someone just disappear like that?!"

"It must have been done by evil spirits; this place is unclean!"

"No, I have to leave here! I have to leave here!!"

Even though the sergeants tried their best to dissuade him, once widespread panic was formed, it was not something that could be quelled with just a few words of comfort.

Moreover, those sergeants themselves were quite uneasy.

As a result, the Japanese soldiers' fear intensified, and the next moment, many of them threw their guns on the ground and ran towards the army's camp, crying and screaming.

This is serious. As mentioned before, fear can spread, and people have a herd mentality. If one person does something, countless others will imitate them.

In an instant, countless Japanese soldiers also started running, and the scene instantly became chaotic.

When the sergeants saw their men running away, they too were gripped by fear and, without thinking to stop them, quickly followed them back to their post.

In less than five minutes, the once bustling place was now just a pile of haphazardly discarded guns lying quietly on the ground.

The bold civilians who witnessed all of this were dumbfounded. They couldn't understand Japanese, so naturally they didn't know what they were saying or what was happening.

They saw the Japanese soldiers mumble something in their own language, then start crying and screaming, and then drop their weapons and run away.

"What's going on?" The common people peeking from behind the curtains scratched their heads, completely confused.

But it also made them feel a little uneasy.

The vicious Japanese devils were so frightened that they fled in panic.
There is really no other explanation than that they saw something that terrified them.

The next day, when Cao Weida arrived at the police station for roll call, he heard news that left him speechless.

Duomen said mysteriously, "Cao'er, let me tell you, something unclean has appeared in Beiping!"

"Something unclean?" Cao Weida was stunned for a moment, then his heart trembled with fear.

He still has some belief in ghosts and gods.

After all, if time travel has already happened, what else is impossible?
He asked somewhat nervously, "What exactly happened? Who encountered something unclean?"

It's no wonder he was panicking. As the saying goes, if you stand by the river long enough, you're bound to get your shoes wet. He often went out at night to pick up people, and if that thing really existed, he might run into it at any time.

Although he is considered invincible among humans in one-on-one combat with cold weapons, that is only against carbon-based life forms!
He gets intimidated if he encounters something that doesn't fall into this category!

"We've run into the Japanese!" Domon exclaimed with a smug look on his face.

"To be honest, this happened not far from your Sesame Alley."

"Let me tell you, you heard the gunshots last night, didn't you?"

"Ah, I heard that, what's wrong?" Cao Weida suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. Goodness, could it be that the unclean thing from last night is on that street?
His heart pounded. If that were the case, then I was truly lucky to have not encountered...
Duomen said, "Because of that gunshot, some villagers were awakened and then secretly looked out through the curtains."

"Guess what? A lot of Japanese devils ran into Gulou Lane, and then the villager vaguely heard a shrill laugh, like a knife scraping a porcelain bowl, which made people's hearts tremble."

Then, those Japanese soldiers were so terrified they screamed, wishing their parents had two more legs, and they threw down their guns and ran away.

"Those guns were just lying on the ground; everyone who went out early this morning saw them!"
