Midnight Restaurant

Chapter 242
This strong man yelled and gave me a shock... However, his reaction was not wrong, after all, so many people died in the village recently, his daughter was lost, and now he heard the death bell again, he would definitely Think so.

I hurried to catch up, and while running with him, comforted me: "It's not necessarily Huanhuan! Don't be so pessimistic, can you? Come on, listen to me, take a deep breath, let's not get excited!"

Obviously, at times like this, my comfort is to get beaten up.

He glared at me, and I was relieved that he didn't make a move...

Of course, it's not that I don't take human life seriously, it's that I always feel that it really wasn't the little girl who had the accident.Why do you feel that way... Well, it's also an intuition, just like Xiaoyana.

Within 2 minutes, I ran to the entrance of the village with the strong man.

I don't know what habit people in this village have. They like to carry dead bodies to the entrance of the village for exhibition.

But fortunately, I saw the body of a slightly fat woman from a long distance away. At this time, I was sure that it must not be Zhao Huanhuan, so I comforted the strong man: "Look, I said it was not Huanhuan, right? Are you relieved? I..."

In the end, before I finished speaking, the strong man let out a loud yell, rushed over, and shouted: "Wife!!"

shit...

There is no one left for such a tragic fate.

It's not a daughter, it's a wife... I admit that I was so confused, I could only run over quickly.Yin Banxian, Xiaoya and us searched separately. At this moment, the two of them have arrived at the scene. I asked Yin Banxian, "How did you die?"

"Same as before."

Well, I was bitten to death by a snake again, with poisonous spots all over my body... I frowned and looked at the strong man who was going to jump at the corpse like crazy, but was stopped by the villagers. I was also very depressed, this buddy It's just bad luck.

After the strong man calmed down for a while, I went over to settle the situation.

"Brother, my condolences... Your wife left the village today?"

As a result, this buddy shook his head vigorously: "No...no! During the day, Huanhuan disappeared during the day, so we and my husband and I searched separately... Finally, when I heard the dead man's bell ringing, I was terrified, and I hurried to the village. , I found you and Huanhuan. At that time, I went home, but my wife never came back. It was getting late at the time. I thought I couldn’t find it. She would come back to see if Huanhuan came home. In the end, I I didn't take care of it at a glance, Huanhuan was lost again, and then I went to find Huanhuan, and then...you will know everything after that."

Well, it seems that when her wife went out to find her daughter for the first time, she should have been killed.

So where is this "ghost" hiding?The strong man's wife knew that her daughter was autistic and wouldn't leave the village, so she probably wouldn't go out to look for her either... So, that is to say, she was probably killed in the village.Will this die without leaving the village?
Soon, other villagers also thought of my idea.

The villagers began to panic, some ran home, locked the door and closed the windows, as if they wanted to isolate themselves from the world so that they could save themselves, some came to Yin Banxian and me, and some sat helplessly on the ground... …Like that brawny dude.

The daughter has not been found yet, the wife died again, the tragedy in the world...

I went over and pulled him up: "Brother, I don't know what to say about sister-in-law... Sorry, think about it. As for your daughter, I will definitely help you find it. You go home first, and the door is locked, so don't go there either." , hide for a while, and leave the matter of finding Huanhuan to me first."

That's right, let's hide. I think the choice of most villagers is actually wise.

After all, no one has killed anyone before.

So how to investigate next?The murderous demons and ghosts have never shown up, and I can't find anything. The only thing I can do now is to dig trees!
Someone died again, and I didn't want to wait until noon the next day, because if someone died again, I would feel uneasy, and since the matter started from cutting down a tree, then at worst, I would stay by the tree and see what the tree could do. Be a demon.

So, we didn't continue to eat that night, and I, Yin Banxian and Xiaoya went back to the tree, took the borrowed shovel, and started digging!But after all, it is an old tree, even if it eliminates the possible dangers in this tree, it is still a laborious job to dig out the things under the root of the tree.

We've been working till dawn, and there's no sign of it yet.

But there has been no danger.

"I said... what, Xiaoye, if we dig like this, we'll be tired and stupid later on. Do you believe me? No, I really can't. Uncle, I'm getting old and I can't play anymore... Do it yourself."

Yin Banxian paralyzed on the ground and stopped moving. He was really exhausted, including me, and I was also very tired.

But what to do?

"It's really tiring, but don't hurry up, I'm afraid people will continue to die... And I'm really curious, what's under this tree?" I wiped my sweat while looking at this tree and our waste. After half a night of hard work, the hole dug out was not that big.

Fortunately, Xiaoya reminded me at this time.

"Master, isn't the master's knife always on you? In fact, you can try..."

Try?

I raised my eyebrows, what to try?
The next moment, my eyes fell on the big snakeskin tree, and I suddenly understood what Xiaoya meant.

Whatever the proprietress stabs with the knife, what kind of soul is absorbed, even if there is no soul, it can also dissipate evil spirits or make it unstable.It can be said that this knife can destroy everything except the magical things that have no soul and life like the mechanism.Of course, things with wood attributes seem to be more resistant to this knife...

So, I took out the proprietress's small silver knife, looked at the tree, and then at Xiaoya: "That's fine, I'll try, but Xiaoya, you have to watch carefully, in case there is any danger, you That snake tail has to be drawn back quickly! Do you understand?"

"Don't worry, master..."

"Is it okay to call me the master? The master is awkward..."

"This is to distinguish it from the master."

My face was full of black lines, I took out the small silver knife, pulled the small silver knife out of the scabbard, and then took a deep breath, the tip of the knife was a little bit close to the bark...that is, the snake skin.

I gritted my teeth silently, then my eyeballs glared, and I stabbed in with a knife!
At that time, I heard a puffing sound. I felt that if I didn't hit the wood, the sound was like hitting someone!
Then, I felt that the ground was shaking, and there were bursts of strange screams, coming from all directions... That's right, the tree didn't make any sound, but I heard strange sounds around me.

"I'll go, what's the situation?" I raised my eyebrows, a bit wanting to draw my knife.

But Xiaoya pressed my hand and said: "Don't move, master... You see, this tree is really withering, and I can feel that the danger is not on this tree."

Xiaoya is so confident, I can't help it...Of course, the main reason is that the hand of the little maid of the monster girl is too gentle, I was a little numb, so I didn't move it away, and then I heard the ghost screaming in the distance, and the hand But the small silver knife on it got worse and deeper... while the snakeskin old locust tree became thinner and thinner.

Xiaoya seemed to feel that the opportunity was coming. At this time, she suddenly pulled me and the knife in my hand, and pushed me to the back. Before I could figure out what happened, Xiaoya's whole big tail was entangled The old pagoda tree that was about to wither into dryness was uprooted!
At that time, I heard a bang!
I thought it was thunder...

The whole old locust tree was crushed into powder by Xiaoya's snake tail, it was all white, at first glance, it looked like it had snowed in summer.

While I was in a daze, Xiaoya restored her tail to her human form, then pulled me and said, "Master, the tree has been pulled out...but look, there is light under here."

I quickly sat up from the ground. Yin Banxian was stupefied watching under Mr. Zhao’s house, and now he was relieved, and ran over excitedly: "Hey, I'll go, boy, you can do it. Solved! Hahaha..."

Yin Banxian grew up.

But I didn't laugh. I haven't figured out what the bright thing below is.

So, I walked over, bent down and lowered my head, and found a blood-red thing shining brightly in a pit about ten meters deep, which seemed to be a prototype.

Of course, let's not talk about what this thing is, let's just talk about this pit...

I go, this tree is so deeply rooted?

I wanted to dig with my bare hands before... I'll have to dig for months before I can get to the bottom?This is not counting the time for chopping tree roots in the middle.I can really challenge myself.

Of course, this is not important now, the tree has been pulled out, and now the bead is left...

"Xiaoya, what is that?"

Xiaoya shook her head, she obviously didn't know... But you say she didn't know, when she saw the bead, the girl's eyes were straightened.Because it is a corpse doll, her eyes have always been calm, but suddenly this kind of eyes that seem to be very interested in something, I am quite scared, the proprietress is not here, if I can restore some past life memories, I can't do it.

"That...Xiaoya, what are you thinking? Don't, don't have any dark thoughts, let me tell you, this world is full of love..."

Xiaoya shook her head and turned to look at me: "Master, don't worry, the master told me about the process of making me and how to obtain the materials for making me. I don't have any revenge on you. I just think that this Something that seems to be related to me... To be precise, it should be the woman in my body when I was alive, something related to her and her race."

Xiaoya's words let me breathe a sigh of relief, but at the same time I was even more puzzled about the bead, what is it?I looked at Xiaoya puzzled.

She didn't make a sound this time, but the snake's tail grew longer, and it penetrated into the hole little by little, and finally rolled up the blood-red bead.I didn't know until I rolled it up. After I rolled it up, I realized that the bead was only the size of a fist, but it was very bright, and it looked big just now.

Xiaoya held that thing, and I looked at it for a long time, and there was still the same smell as on the snakeskin tree before, but it still had nothing to do with ghosts.

"But anyway, this is the main culprit for turning the tree into a snakeskin tree, right?" I looked at Xiaoya.

Xiaoya nodded, and I looked at Yin Banxian again: "Do some calculations, can people still die in this village? Is it the fault of this thing?"

Yin Banxian'er looked at me with black lines all over his face: "Xiaoye, uncle can only count people... What are you talking nonsense about, isn't this tree the first strange thing in this village? The tree was destroyed by the two of you, and it can still What's the matter, let's leave the village tomorrow and ask Fatty Li..."

Before Yin Banxian uttered the word "qian", a bell rang, which made me, who was a little excited, sink in my heart, did I die again?
