Chapter 0321 – Stygian Village
Chen Ge’s three looked at the deformed man in front of them with different expressions.
”What you said is true?” Master Bai looked the most shocked, he and his father had come to the Living Coffin Village a long time ago, and at that time, they just thought that the people in this village looked strange, otherwise they felt the same as ordinary people, and they had never thought that there were such horrible things hidden in this village.
”All true.” The man took a few more steps forward and stood at the door of the house, “I can completely hide all of this, now I’m telling everything, this is my sincerity.”
In the village full of coffins, a deformed man in a life jacket said something eerie.
Master Bai and Old Wei looked at each other, and finally coincidentally placed their eyes on Chen Ge.
”There’s no rush, I want to ask him a question first.” Chen Ge gestured for the man to come in, “What’s your name?”
”You can call me Ah Qing.”
”Good.” Chen Ge dragged the skull crushing hammer over to the man, “You can get us out?”
”Yes, I know the way and have the ability.” The man was a bit anxious, it seemed that there was not much time left for him.
”Since you know the way out and have the ability to leave, why don’t you take the child and leave yourself?” In Chen Ge’s opinion, the two sides were only utilizing each other, and since Ah Qing took the initiative to come to the door, it meant that the outsider must have something worthwhile for him to utilize, “You wouldn’t be afraid of being chased by the Lich Demons? So you want us to attract the attention of the Lich Demons, right?”
”I’ve never thought of it that way!” Ah Qing waved his hands in a hurry, he had been trapped in the middle of the village and had very little contact with the outside world, his expression changed in a wide range and he would hardly hide his true inner thoughts.
”It’s not to lure away the Lich Demon, then what are you looking for us for?”
”In the first month after a baby is born, the Zhu woman will personally visit the door to check on the baby, if it’s normal she’ll just carry it away, but there are exceptions.” Ah Qing broke his fingers and counted, “Every year, on the day the female ghost commits suicide by throwing herself into the well, the village will hold a ritual, at that time, the woman surnamed Zhu will take all the babies in the village that were born in the last three months, carry them to a room, and then let the female ghost pick out the appropriate sacrifices.”
”Let the female ghost pick?” Chen Ge began to hesitate, the female ghost in Ah Qing’s words should be the most terrifying red-robed stern ghost!
”Today is the day that the female ghost will throw herself into the well, and the sacrifice will begin soon, so this is our chance! While the ritual is going on, everyone will be gathered together to wake up that female ghost, we just need to sneak into that room and steal the baby before the female ghost wakes up, and then escape the village!”
”You’re thinking quite beautifully.” Chen Ge interrupted the man, “The female ghost in your mouth is able to slaughter the entire village by herself, even if the few of us escape, we will still be in a bad way.”
”This is already the best way.” Ah Qing’s fingers plucked into the flesh, “That female ghost’s grudge is only against this village, she doesn’t have much interest in outsiders.”
”There is that?”
Ah Qing nodded with difficulty, “Just like she didn’t hurt the Zhu woman, I’ve never seen the female ghost attack an outsider. When you find my child, you will take him and leave, and I will return to the village the same way I came. If you are accidentally exposed, I will lie about seeing you and lead them in the opposite direction.”
”But the crux of the matter is that your child is a member of this village, and it’s likely that us taking him with us will also be seen as a target by the Lich Ghosts.”
”If the severe ghosts catch up with you ……,” Ah Qing lowered his clenched hand with a look of resignation, “then you can put my child down and leave alone.”
When the words came to this point, moncler outlet online Bai was a bit intolerant: “Why don’t we just agree to him, we can’t get out now anyway.”
”There are many loopholes in this man’s words.” Old Wei stood in front of several people, “He said that what’s-his-name female ghost won’t harm outsiders, but we’ve only been in this village for a long time and have already encountered danger several times, I think he might just want to take a gamble. If we really get caught up by the female ghost, something is going to happen to us and his child.”
”The ghosts you encountered in the village had nothing to do with the female ghost.” Ah Qing sighed, “As there are fewer and fewer living people in the village, there are more and more evil things, and these are not something that I can explain to you in a moment. I can only give you a rough idea, the living in this village account for 10%, the dead account for 10%, and the remaining 80% are ghosts.”
Old Wei still wanted to ask something, but Ah Qing directly put the birthday suit back on again, “The rituals will start soon, if we miss this opportunity, there’s really no way to leave!”
”Go out with him and take a look, it’s not safe to stay here, that red-clothed ghost baby knows where the three of us are.” Chen Ge stuffed the skull crushing hammer into his backpack.
”That …… you want to leave the bag here.” Ah Qing’s voice came out from under the birthday suit, “The coffin can interfere with the ghost’s judgment to a certain extent, but your backpack is too conspicuous.”
”It’s fine.” Chen Ge took out his repeater and walked towards the bedroom next to him.
”What are you doing to go? We don’t have time.”
”Getting the birthday suit, it won’t take long.” Chen Ge casually closed the door to the bedroom and pressed the repeater switch.
A minute later, Chen Ge stepped out of the house, and he found two pieces of birthday suits in the two sleeping rooms.
”You two keep them with you and reconsider wearing them if the situation is not right.” Chen Ge handed the birthday suits to Old Wei and Grandpa Bai.
Master Bai had the jade pendant to protect him Chen Ge wasn’t too worried, mainly Lao Wei, he didn’t want any accidents to happen to this police officer when he was about to retire.
”You got it out of the coffin?” Ah Qing looked at the life jacket in Chen Ge’s eyes, there were still traces of fingers painfully rubbing and scratching on it, the body of this person in front of him was intact, so the one who scratched out these traces could only be the original owner of the life jacket.
”Yeah, I saw that no one wanted it even when I put it there, so I picked it up.” Chen Ge smiled lightly, “Don’t worry, I’ll return it when I have the chance in the future.”
Ah Qing’s gaze was evasive, not daring to meet Chen Ge’s eyes, the man in front of him brought him a special feeling.
Obviously standing in the deepest part of the darkness, but full of strength and hope, as if under his feet was the place where the sun was about to rise.
”Stay close to me, you two better put your birthday suits on, be careful of bumping into ghosts.”
Ah Qing walked alone in front after he finished speaking, he stuck to the left wall, and every time he turned he headed towards the left side of the street, after about six or seven minutes, different buildings started to appear on both sides of the street.
”We’re already out of the ghostly wall?” Dressed in his birthday suit, Old Wei looked terrible.
”I’m now bringing you to the center of the village, the ritual will start from here later.” Ah Qing led Chen Ge and the three of them to hide in the middle of an old mansion next to him, “I heard people say that there are other outsiders involved in this sacrifice, I will try to contact them and probe them.”
