Zongman: Daily Exorcism, Eight Wonders Rewarded at the Beginning

At that time, education was not yet universal, and young children were also valuable labor.

So when the fishing season comes, almost every household goes out with the whole family.

However, due to the increase in fishing volume and shortage of manpower.

Fishermen have to get their labor from somewhere to stay afloat.

Therefore, the people chosen are the children who have been sold due to livelihood pressure or have lost their families.

at that time.

Due to various reasons such as family poverty.

Many children were enslaved and forced to do labor.

This phenomenon is not limited to fisheries.

It also involves various industries such as agriculture and animal husbandry.

Although these are not recorded in public history.

But at that time, cherry blossoms were happening everywhere.

Such people were originally called Jizi.

It means bringing good luck to the host family.

But as the master continued to exploit the slave's value, he gradually stopped treating Jizi as a human being.

Finally, it gradually evolved into a situation where after squeezing out the last bit of value, they would be collectively discarded somewhere.

Sea, mountains, mass graves...

At that time, almost all sparsely populated areas were piled with the bodies of children who died suddenly from overwork.

And because of this collective discarding method, people began to call them collections.

It's obvious~

The sea area where Machida Sonoko and Benisaka Akane chose to fish was once a corpse dumping ground.

“How many episodes have you seen?”

Chi Feicheng raised a very critical question.

The collection of oars that exist in the sea was basically used for paddling during life.

After all, they were all children and could not do any fishing except paddling.

4.7 The collections you usually see at sea are of children sitting on wooden boats and paddling.

As long as the number does not exceed three, the worst that can happen is that they get sick when they come back and that's all that's fine.

But if you see more than three at a time, be careful.

Because they will follow and take people's lives within three days.

Who knew Chi Feicheng had just finished asking.

Machida Sonoko and Benisaka Akane, who had originally calmed down, started to get excited again.

"countless!"

“So densely packed, so many that I can’t even count them…”

"There were so many wooden boats and so many collections. The whole sea was filled with them!"

The two women became more and more excited as they spoke, their pretty faces flushed red, and their eyes seemed to be bloodshot.

It can be seen that after they came back, they must have carefully studied the legends about the collection.

Otherwise, I wouldn't be so frightened.

but……

See a group of children?

This is obviously inconsistent with common sense.

……

Picture: Machida Enko! .

[Chapter 136] Going out to sea, strange things, sea triangle!

Generally speaking.

It is seen that the number of collections is closely related to a person's social status.

For example, Akane Ayaka.

She is a planner at an animation company.

He also manages a lot of people.

Plus the workaholic attribute,

They must have exploited their employees a lot in normal times.

Such people are targeted by the collection.

Chi Feicheng was not surprised at all.

The same goes for Machida Sonoko.

She is not Shiyu's editor alone.

He is also the author of several light novels.

But what if you encounter a large and densely packed group of people?

This is a bit too magical.

After all, they are just ordinary people, not cruel and inhumane monarchs.

Going out to sea and encountering this kind of situation?

Chi Feicheng felt that their status was not enough to justify such treatment.

"Tell me, before you met Ji Zi, did you encounter any strange things?"

Chi Feicheng did not ask them whether they saw Ji Zi again after they came back.

The answer is obvious, otherwise they would not have come to him, a Taoist priest.

"Something strange?"

Benizaka Akane and Machida Sonoko exchanged a glance, and the former asked, "Does fog count?"

Machida Sonoko quickly shook her head and denied it. "I don't think so. We went out to sea in the evening that day. It's normal to have fog at night. We've encountered it several times before."

Chi Feicheng nodded.

It can be seen that both of them are experts in fishing and know that night fishing can yield greater rewards.

But go fishing at night.

If you are unlucky and there are a few more storms, you may never come back.

Chi Feicheng could only say that they were very brave.

He raised his hand, signaling the two to think carefully.

Suddenly~

Hongzaka Akane seemed to have thought of something and hesitated, "I don't know if that's considered a strange thing. Before the fog came, I caught a strange fish."

"Strange fish?"

"Hmm, the gills and the area around them seem to be covered in densely packed eyeballs. Um~ should they be eyeballs? Because the fish is only about a foot long, and those things look like little black dots."

"Did you bring back that fish?"

"No, I just took the hook off and the fish was very slippery and struggled back into the sea, so I'm not sure if I saw it correctly."

"And then the fog started to rise? And you saw the collection?"

"Mmmmm~"

Akane Benizaka and Sonoko Machida nodded hurriedly.

"Haha, interesting. It's as if something doesn't want you to reveal the secrets of the sea."

Chi Feicheng suddenly laughed, and was basically certain of one thing.

There must be something else in that sea besides the collection.

The collection is different from other urban legends.

It is more like a large collective spirit, just a special supernatural phenomenon.

The collection has no subjective consciousness and strictly follows the rules of urban legends.

For characters like Akane Benizaka and Sonoko Machida, two or three collections is enough at best.

If I'm lucky, maybe I'll catch a cold and be cured when I come back.

Come after them in droves?

Chi Feicheng simply doesn't believe that there is no reason behind this.

……

The southern waters of Jingdong.

A small yacht slowly sailed towards the sea triangle.

This is Akane Benizaka's private yacht.

Chi Feicheng stood on the deck and looked at the sea level.

No abnormalities have been found so far.

Kasumigaoka Utaha is wearing a short top and shorts,

She walked over with a gauze dress draped over her upper body.

The curvy figure is just the right amount of plump.

Every curve exudes the youthful vigor of a young woman.

"I'm sorry, Chi-kun has been so busy lately, and I have to trouble you again."

Only then did they have the chance to be alone, and Kasumigaoka Utaha's tone was a little apologetic.

"No apologies needed between us."

Chi Feicheng smiled and put his arms around Shiyu's shoulders. Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one on the deck, he bent down and kissed the woman in his arms.

Kasumigaoka Shiyu's face immediately turned red. She quickly broke free from the man's embrace and said coquettishly, "I want to die. What if they see me?"

Chi Feicheng was nonchalant: "What are you afraid of? It's not something shameful. Oh, and they both seem to be very receptive to supernatural events, don't they?"

This is indeed very strange. When we first met, Machida Sonoko said that she didn't believe in ghosts and gods before.

But it seems that as soon as she and Akane Benizaka returned, they began to investigate the legend of the collection.

It was obviously different from the clients Chi Feicheng had met before.

Kasumigaoka Utaha burst out laughing.

"Didn't you forget that I bought a talisman at the agency last time? That was a gift for Machida-san. After all, it was thanks to her that I was taken care of when I first debuted."

"Oh."

Chi Feicheng really doesn't remember.

He has rarely taken care of the accounts since Yongzi and Yui joined the company.

The office also has a small stock of amulets and talismans.

I guess Kasumigaoka Utaha bought it while he was away.

After all, she knew that if she asked Chi Feicheng, he would definitely not accept money, so the meaning of the matter would change.

"No wonder they both came back alive. They weren't killed by Ji Zi after so much time passed."
