Section 100, Human Bone Barn(1/3)
As the people said that, they knelt down to Liu Shoucai again. Liu Shoucai really felt like he was being bowed down like an emperor. Liu Shoucai suddenly stopped being disgusted with this feeling, but instead felt a sense of conquest, which was very comfortable. So Liu Shoucai enjoyed it for a while before letting everyone get up.
"Everyone get up! We came this time just to save everyone, so everyone gets up quickly!"
Liu Shoucai tried his best to keep himself in a peaceful state. He didn't like to be seen by others. When people in the town saw that Liu Shoucai was so easy to talk, they kept praising Liu Shoucai, which made Liu Shoucai feel a little embarrassed.
"Master, what are you planning to do now?"
When the old man saw Liu Shoucai standing there without action, he walked over to ask. Liu Shoucai looked at Lao Yi and said lightly: "They have nothing to do. Although they have a bone missing from their bodies, it does not affect their current life or anything. But now my teacher wants to catch who the person behind the scenes is."
After hearing Liu Shoucai say that the people in the town are fine, the old man felt relieved. Liu Shoucai spoke loudly, so the people in the town naturally heard him.
"Thank you, Master, for your great kindness and virtue to us, we will never forget you."
Seeing those people kneeling down to him again, Liu Shoucai's vanity immediately became satisfied. Badou and Xiaobai were very confused when they saw Liu Shoucai's strange look, so after the people stood up and left, they hurriedly walked up to Liu Shoucai to check him out.
"Hey, hey, stop touching, what do you want to do?"
Liu Shoucai was fantasizing about being in his own world, when suddenly Xiaobai and Badou were touching him with all his fun, and he was immediately furious. Seeing that Liu Shoucai had returned to normal, Badou and Xiaobai stopped standing.
"Brother Liu, what's wrong with you just now? Seeing your strange look, we thought you had lost your soul and became demented, so we checked you out."
"Yes! You guy has always been inexplicably lately. Is it really okay?"
Xiaobai and Liu Shoucai have the longest time. When it looks at Liu Shoucai's changes, he naturally knows when Liu Shoucai is normal and when it is abnormal. Liu Shoucai sees Badou and Xiaobai's nervous look, and it doesn't seem like he is joking, so he feels a little depressed.
"I'm fine! I feel good. Could it be that you read it wrong?"
Liu Shoucai looked serious, not as if he was telling lies anymore. Badou and Xiaobai didn't find any problems just now, so they gave up.
"Forget it, since it's okay, that's fine. I'm afraid you have any problems. Okay, let's go back first! Since the matter here has been solved, let's think about who the person behind the scenes is and why we have to turn the people in this town into that shape."
"What did the villagers just say, did they say why they had to give a bone?"
"Oh! Those people don't know what they ask, no matter what they ask, they say their minds are blank and they don't know anything. It's useless to ask. Now we are the only one who investigates it ourselves, and they can't help."
When Xiaobai thought of the villagers, he looked depressed. Those people didn't even know why they lost a bone, and they didn't know when they started to become stupid.
"Forget it, let's come and investigate this matter tonight. I want to go back and rest first, and I feel a little tired."
Liu Shoucai said that, and yawned. Seeing that Liu Shoucai was really tired, Xiaobai and Badou didn't say anything, but just asked Liu Shoucai to go back first, while they continued to investigate the situation on the spot.
After Liu Shoucai returned to the inn, he fell directly on the bed and went to sleep. In his dream, Liu Shoucai felt that everything around him became very strange. Although those environments were places he knew well, for some reason, he felt that he didn't even know those places.
"Damn it, where is this? What's wrong with me?"
Liu Shoucai looked at the familiar and unfamiliar place, and a pain in his mind suddenly appeared in front of him alone. The person Liu Shoucai felt so familiar and familiar, but he just couldn't recognize who he was. Now, Liu Shoucai began to panic.
"Who are you? Do we know each other?"
"Don't you know me? How is that possible, I am..."
Before the person finished speaking, Lao Yi suddenly screamed: "Master, get up quickly, something is wrong..."
Lao Yi's scream made Liu Shoucai wake up from his sleep. As soon as he woke up, Liu Shoucai forgot the dream he had just had.
"What's wrong? What's wrong?"
Liu Shoucai quickly put on his clothes and walked out. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Lao Yi running up sweating profusely.
"Master, Nizi is dead. She is in the moat outside the town. Her body has been salvaged and is now being placed at the entrance of the inn."
"What? Why is this happening? Let's go and have a look."
Liu Shoucai was shocked. He didn't expect that Nizi would die. Did she commit suicide? Or was it him who killed her?
Liu Shoucai felt a chaotic feeling in his mind. Although he didn't like Nizi, he didn't want to see Nizi die! Especially at this time.
As soon as Liu Shoucai and Lao left the inn, they saw a circle of people outside. The people pointed at the corpses on the ground, and they didn't know what they were talking about.
"Everyone lets you go, don't surround them all here. What's the good thing about dead people? Are you not afraid of being entangled by her?"
Liu Shoucai felt upset and shouted directly into the crowd. When those people heard Liu Shoucai's words, they ran away one by one.
Nizi's face was very pale and her stomach was very swelling. She knew it was filled with river water at a glance. It seemed that she had fallen into the water when she was alive, otherwise she would not have been like this.
"Who found the body?"
"It's us, we planned to catch fish, but a corpse came online. When I brought it back, I happened to meet your apprentice, Master, and he said he knew this woman, so we brought it here."
The three people who salvage Nizi were ordinary fishermen. Liu Shoucai looked at them and said nothing more. But Liu Shoucai felt very strange. Although Nizi was very sad when she left, she definitely didn't look like she was going to commit suicide.
Does Nizi's death have anything to do with the people in the town becoming dementia? Thinking of this, Liu Shoucai quickly took Nizi's body back to his room.
As soon as he returned to the room, Liu Shoucai tore open Nizi's clothes. Seeing that there were no wounds on Nizi's body, Liu Shoucai was also dizzy.
"Master, what are you doing?"
The first and second brothers did not understand Liu Shoucai's behavior, so they quickly covered Nizi's body with the bed sheets beside them. At this time, Badou and Xiaobai also came back from outside. Seeing Nizi's body, they were also shocked.
"What's going on? Why did Nizi die?"
"I don't know either. I just checked her body and didn't find any wounds on her body. They didn't seem to be murderous, but they didn't seem to be suicide. So I feel that there must be something supernatural about this matter."
"You're not saying it's a murderer, right?"
"It's very possible. Maybe it was because Nizi was covered by a ghost's eyes, so she accidentally fell into the river. Maybe some ghost deliberately made Nizi fall into the river, but it was hard to say."
"Liu Shoucai, can you wake up? Nizi's soul is not inside, and she doesn't look like she encounters ghosts or something. Look at her brows, this is a normal death. I think she should have reached the limit, so she fell into the river and died."
Xiaobai looked through Nizi's eyelids and mouth and nose, then opened Nizi's forehead and hair bun, then pointed to the evidence and said to Liu Shoucai.
"Oh! But she doesn't look like a short-lived person! How could she die suddenly? This is unreasonable!"
Liu Shoucai still couldn't figure it out. He felt that there must be something strange about this matter, but Xiaobai didn't think so. It still felt that Nizi died normally, unlike what Liu Shoucai thought.
"Liu Shoucai, maybe you're thinking too much, don't think about it anymore, okay? Let's take a break first, leave it to us for a while. You have been sleeping for a long time recently, and your health seems not good. Have a good rest! Don't think about these messy things anymore."
Seeing that Liu Shoucai started frowning again, Xiaobai felt uncomfortable and hurriedly signaled Liu Shoucai to rest. Liu Shoucai also understood that Xiaobai was for his own good, but how could he sleep at this time?
"Xiaobai, I can't sleep at all now. Nizi's affairs and those people in the town have not been resolved. How could I sleep? Nizi's parents handed Nizi to me, but I drove her away, causing her to die suddenly. I have an unshirkable responsibility..."
Liu Shoucai felt very uncomfortable. Although he didn't like Nizi's character, he still felt very guilty. If he hadn't driven Nizi away at that time, things might not have developed into this way.
"Brother Liu, you really think too much. Nizi's death has nothing to do with you, nor has it to us. This is all personal fate. Everyone has their own destiny. God will let you die, and no one can stop it. Even if it is us, if we are declared dead one day, then we can't stop it, right? What do you think?"
Badou's explanation made Liu Shoucai feel a little better, but Liu Shoucai still couldn't figure out why this very living person suddenly fell into the river? And there was no one around, but there was a fishing pass by again. This was so strange.
"You go and ask the fishermen first, and be sure to check their memories to see if they have lies or missed anything."
"Okay, I'll check them now. You can calm down first, Xiaobai, then carefully check the body of Nizi, the second one, you go to the mayor of the town to check if there are any strange people here recently, or something strange has happened."
"Yes, Mr. Badou."
After Badou distributed the mission, he went out. Liu Shoucai was sitting alone in the chair and pondered. He felt that things were really strange. Why did the girl die sooner or later, but died at this time? Is there anything else he didn't know about?
"Xiaobai, don't you think Nizi died a little bit?"
"What's the meaning?"
Xiaobai didn't understand what Liu Shoucai meant, so he raised his head and looked at Liu Shoucai. Liu Shoucai stared at Nizi's body with a cold face.
"Why did Nizi die at this time? The villagers in the town were released and something happened to Nizi. Don't you think it was a coincidence?"
"It's a coincidence, but many things are just like this, and there's no problem! I just checked Ni's body and it was indeed a normal drowning death."
"Then is there any problem with her organs all over her body?"
"No, it's normal. Apart from drowning, there's nothing wrong with it. Liu Shoucai, you're really too tired, so you think so much. Not everyone's death is a problem. She's really dead. If you don't believe it, you'll check it yourself!"
Xiaobai left Nizi's body. Liu Shoucai came over and checked it carefully, but still found no problem. This made Liu Shoucai puzzled. Could it be that Nizi died because the deadline has come?
Just when Liu Shoucai and Xiaobai were confused about this, a situation occurred on Badou's side. The originally broken barn was restored to its original state, but the villagers were fine, which made Badou feel very strange.
"Brother Liu Xiaobai, something happened here, and the barn returned to normal. But the villagers are fine. What do you think is going on? I checked it and found no problems."
Badou communicated with Liu Shoucai and Xiaobai with his heart. When Xiaobai and Liu Shoucai heard Badou's words, they ignored Nizi's body and rushed to Liu Shoucai directly.
"Damn, this is true, how could this happen?"
"I'm not very clear about this. Do you think that there will be some souls in it that will return to normal?"
"But this is impossible! This barn has been destroyed by us, how could it be restored? The bones are not soul-sighted. And once we left the human body, coupled with the broken bits we knocked it before, it was impossible to recover as before. I think there must be a big problem inside."
"Ba Dou, have you checked that there are other people's souls here?"
"This is not yet. As soon as I came over and saw this barn, I was immediately stunned. Because I was so shocked, I told you directly that I had not had time to check it in."
After hearing Badou's words, Xiaobai, Liu Shoucai and others quickly bent down and went into the barn to check it out, but they didn't expect that when they first entered the barn, they saw that Nizi's soul was restrained and could not get out of it.
"Nizi? Why are you here? Didn't I let you leave at the beginning? Why is this happening?"
At this time, Nizi also saw Liu Shoucai and Badou Xiaobai. As soon as she saw Liu Shoucai, Nizi couldn't help but shed tears.
"I don't know what happened. I was just walking, and suddenly my eyes went dark. When I woke up, I was already here. Master, can you save me? It's so scary. I feel gloomy and I'm so scared..."
As Nizi said that, she wanted to pounce on Liu Shoucai, but when Nizi just touched Liu Shoucai's body, she immediately passed through Liu Shoucai's body.
"This...how could this happen? Master, how could this happen..."
"To be honest, you are dead now, and your soul is being held in this bone barn, which is the barn where the villagers in Kujin Town were the souls of you. You are now in the posture of your soul, but we don't understand why you were being held here."
"No, how could I die? Master, you must be lying to me, right?"
Nizi looked sad. She felt that Liu Shoucai was lying to her. She didn't believe that she was dead. Liu Shoucai felt sad when she saw that Nizi didn't believe in her.
To be continued...
