Trying to pretend to be human today

Chapter 328 The Coffin
Humankind prayed to Him.

He thought briefly and long before promising.

……

Bai Su thought that it was not accurate to say that he was praying. After all, Wen Rongxuan was not his believer.

It can only be said that the excuses given by young people are somewhat credible.

Wen Rongxuan said that the existence he summoned must be him, the summoner...or someone else. Anyway, if he sends them away again, the scattered larvae will naturally perish.

But if it is not sent away and is directly killed or eaten by Baisu, then a new mother will be born among the larvae, which cannot fundamentally solve the problem.

Unless—unless Baisu can devour all the larvae all over the country...and in the future, even all over the world.

Although this is a steady supply of food, it is a bit annoying when the territory is invaded and you have to endure the occasional disappearance of believers.

After the human youth finished speaking, he looked paranoid and gloomy... and looked sideways at the ground.

He didn't dare to look at Bai Su, and he didn't want to face the eyes staring at him.

The large number makes people avoid their sight.

But the cave platform is only so big, and Wen Rongxuan is now so huge that he can't move it.

The monster, which was spread out and erect, observing what it was looking at, shook its body as if to express a question, and suddenly a string of unexplained syllables came into its mind.

Feeling dizzy and dizzy, after realizing that the human youth could not understand, the monster suddenly changed into a slightly human form.

The human form is not well constructed, the facial features are scattered and scattered there, and the mouth part is moving.

He is asking why.

In other words, what human youth can give.

There are many ways for Him to achieve his goal. Considering that human youth smells sweet, it’s not like He can’t swallow people, so he can do it for him.

Although it will be a little disgusting when operating, it can be divided into another individual——

"Bai Su!" Just as he was thinking about Wen Rongxuan's previous decision, the human woman behind him staggered to catch up.

She didn't walk fast, but Bai Su walked slowly and leisurely even slower than her, quickly closing the distance.

The black-haired young man who was interrupted from his thoughts glanced to the right and asked: "Didn't you stay there or go out?"

Qi Zhuyue held her breath: "I just woke up and didn't know anything... Could you please tell me what's going on now?"

She didn't know anything. If she ran to the wrong place, she was not a combatant and had the Weakness debuff on her body. If she was caught by the villagers, she would be punished.

"Hmm..." Seeing the human being asking, Bai Su thought about it seriously, "How should I put it... It's a bit hard to explain."

"Then let's make a long story short?" Qi Zhuyue hugged the little girl in her arms, "Where are Senior Xia and the others? And why do you want to go in..." What is the time now?
Qi Zhuyue's mobile phone was taken away from her, and she had no equipment to judge the time and date, so she could only ask others.

Bai Su thought for a few minutes, picking and choosing what he could say as he kept moving forward.

In a nutshell, one of the masterminds behind the scenes, Wen Rongxuan (who was forced to flee), ran away and went to the place where the sacrifice was held to confront another group of people behind the scenes, the village chief. Before running away, he left some clues, and Bai Su followed them. Look inside for clues.

"Wait a minute... what do you mean the sacrifice has started?" Qi Zhuyue looked around blankly, "It's been... two days now?"

"Not yet, it's just ahead of schedule." Bai Su replied, "It should be ahead of schedule?"

The completely uncertain tone made the human woman a little anxious, but she still asked about the whereabouts of others.

Bai Su didn't hide anything and told her straightforwardly that two people should be taken to the main venue of the sacrifice, while Gao Tianyi went to save them.

Qi Zhuyue: "..."

Qi Zhuyue: "...?"

The human woman was so speechless that she didn't know whether to ask first how the two reliable adults were taken away or why it was Gao Tianyi who rescued people instead of Bai Su.

No matter how you look at it, from the perspective of combat effectiveness, two people should go together, right?No matter how bad it is, Bai Su will have to...ah, is it because of her?

Qi Zhuyue couldn't help but think of herself.

Could it be that Bai Su came to find her——

Bai Su: "I always feel like you are thinking about superfluous things."

The black-haired young man suddenly turned around from the front, and the light of the lighter danced in front of him.

He pointed to where the human woman was standing and said, "You can stop here."

Qi Zhuyue was stunned: "Huh?"

Bai Su didn't explain. He originally planned to continue walking forward. After taking two steps, he turned back and stretched out his hand towards the human woman: "By the way, I took her with me."

Qi Zhuyue looked completely confused. Her hands were not strong enough, and Bai Su easily carried the little girl away.

The black-haired young man lifted the little girl in his hand, probably seeing that there was still a human being present, and reluctantly put the human in his arms.

The human woman stretched her hand forward, only to receive a silent gesture from the black-haired young man in response.

Involuntarily, Qi Zhuyue's hand dropped and stood there.

The front seems to lead to a certain truth.

The truth lies beyond her reach.

……

"Hey, can you wake up?" Bai Su shook the girl in his arms and asked as he walked, "You should be able to wake up, right? Do you still need me to take you?"

The little girl didn't reply.

Bai Su didn't care and walked a little further inward. He glanced back and saw that the human woman didn't follow.

It's a good thing that she didn't follow her. If they really started to make trouble later, no one would take care of her.

Bai Su walked to the end of the passage and saw another wide space in front of him.

Unlike the empty open platform that was dug out before, there were things placed in the entrance of this cave.

Bai Su picked up the lighter and threw it aside, hitting the oil lamp hanging on the stone wall accurately.

The oil lamp was lit, and then a series of firelights lit up, surrounding it in a circle. When the last oil lamp was burning, the coffin in the center could be seen clearly.

Coffin, that is, coffin.

The old coffin is nailed there, and at a glance you can see that several nails have not been driven all the way to the bottom. It may also be that they were pushed loose from the inside later, and they are stuck there with rust.

Bai Su came closer, fiddled with it twice with his fingers, and then lifted the cover without hesitation.

The cover, which had only held up a few centimeters for many years, was easily torn open by external force. Then the black-haired young man held the board with one hand and threw the thing aside, making a dull sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.

The entrance to the cave is open and responsive, and the sound extends all the way outward.

Regardless of whether the movement was loud or not, Bai Su lifted up the coffin board and began to look at the items inside the coffin.

What was placed in the coffin was of course corpses, and they were extremely corrupted corpses.

The skin and flesh were completely peeled off, and the bare bones were placed there. What was strange was that there were no maggots crawling on them, and the entire skeleton was clean.

And - the skeleton is only half, that is, only the upper part starting from the waist.

So, where does the bottom go?
The black-haired young man tilted his head.

It seemed like a little bit got into his stomach, and the rest was probably... how do humans say it, scattered in every corner of Wenjia Village?

Bai Su recalled, and reached out to knock on the coffin. The rotten wood made no crisp sound, and it was extremely dull. "So..." He raised his hand, took the little girl's collar and lifted her up to eye level, "Do you still want to pretend to sleep?"

This time, the girl opened her eyes faintly, and the child's eyes showed an indifference that was inconsistent with her age.

She and Bai Su looked at each other, then lowered their eyes and looked at the coffin underneath.

His eyes couldn't help but linger on the corpse, as if he was yearning for it, but also seemed to be resentful.

Finally, the girl raised her head and opened and closed her mouth: "A foreign country——" She got stuck after saying only two words.

Which category does the black-haired young man belong to?Foreigner?No, he does not belong to the human category.

If the initial attachment of consciousness to the little girl was just due to some boredom in the long years, then its continued observation in the later period was all due to the awareness of crisis.

Why did Wenjiacun enter such an existence?Why did such a being come that could kill it with just one yawn and then eat it in its belly?

The girl's mouth closed and opened, but in the end she didn't say much.

Bai Su's purpose of coming was already clear from his previous conversation with Wen Rongxuan. He had no enmity with the being attached to the girl, and it was just a coincidence that he bumped into him here.

The black-haired young man loosened his grip, placed the girl on the edge of the coffin, and began to pick up the bones in the coffin.

Judging from the way he fished for something, he wanted to stuff it directly into his mouth.

"Wait--"

No matter how bad the Clay Bodhisattva is, there is no way he can watch "himself" being eaten.

"Crack."

The movement to stop it was still slow, and the human-like upper body bones were stuffed into the mouth by the black-haired young man, and the sharp white teeth closed up and down, biting them crisply.

While biting, Bai Su turned his head. When he looked at the little girl beside the coffin, half of the white bones in his mouth were exposed outside his lips.

He smiled at the person, then raised his neck, and the half of the bone fell down, falling straight into the monster's belly.

Gone, part of the body disappeared.

The little girl opened her eyes wide.

It was a familiar feeling, as if she had experienced it in the past two days, and the little girl immediately understood what caused it.

"...It was you." The girl's lips trembled, "It was you that day too——"

She originally thought that the villagers of Wenjia Village had done something, but that was not the case now.

"Ah, it's me." The black-haired young man arched his eyebrows, sat on the other side of the coffin, and picked up the skull in the center. "You smelled delicious, so I couldn't help but eat it."

"However, there is no reason for diners to say hello to the food before eating, right?"

Bai Su held the skull and turned it around twice in his palm, as if he was looking for a place to open his mouth.

He turned his face sideways, raised his eyebrows towards the girl's eyes, and said, "So... I started."

Some humans seem to have this habit of saying this before eating.

Then, the monster opened its mouth.

The corners of his mouth curled up, almost to the edge of his ears, revealing the entire inside of his scarlet mouth.

He planned to swallow it all at once.

"No!" A sharp child's voice screamed, "No, no, no, no, no -"

In the face of the threat of survival, all fears turned into motivation to stop.

The little girl pounced forward, using speed far beyond what a human child could possess.

The black-haired young man who was holding his head high did not even lower his head. He loosened his fingers slightly and the skull fell down, falling straight into the open mouth.

The black-haired young man simply made a swallowing motion.

"——Guji."

The black-haired young man who tasted the delicious food showed a slightly tipsy look. He put his face in his hands and turned around, just in time to avoid the little girl who was about to rush into him.

The little girl jumped up and covered her face helplessly as her "own" skull was being digested.

Disappeared again, power, soul, existence...it doesn't matter what it refers to. "Wen Tao" who died decades ago feels his own passing.

No, it shouldn't be like this.

It controlled the little girl's eyes to burst.

"You-" the little girl screamed, her voice gradually becoming distorted, "Why can't we stop and talk, just like you and that human!"

The girl suddenly fought back, rushed back to the coffin, and stopped in front of "her" corpse.

The black-haired young man, whose eating was interrupted but thought it was harmless, tilted his head.

How should I put it... The reason why I exchange a few more words with Wen Rongxuan is entirely because of the special nature of the doppelgänger.

Different species have different characteristics, such as that lump of black sludge that even a young human being cannot give a specific name. It has a very strong ability to reproduce and divide.

If the mother dies without sending it away by special means, a new mother will be born among the larvae.

It was quite a troublesome individual, so he listened to the humans talk a few words.

"So... what about you?" The black-haired monster looked puzzled as he spoke, "Is there anything interesting about you... 'Wen Tao'? Let's just call you 'Wen Tao'."

The girl called "Wen Tao" had her pupils narrowed into a slit, her mouth was slightly pursed, and a double row of shark-like teeth appeared between the lips that were parted again.

Wenjia Village is considered a closed village. Although it has some communication with the outside world, it is still more of a clique.

When the people in their village went out, they only temporarily escaped the shackles of the village. Their final destination was to be buried here after death.

Just - not contagious?Alienated fish eyes and even fish head villagers cannot infect people.

The fish caught in their village have strange effects. Unfortunately, since the flash flood, the village has stopped selling fish to outsiders. They basically provide it to themselves and occasionally provide it to outsiders who come in.

Overall, diffusion is limited.

So, why should he hesitate?It was just a whim to bring the little girl here. He originally thought that the "Wen Tao" attached to the little girl would bring him some surprises.

Now it seems that there is no surprise or joy.

"And -" the monster in human skin continued with a long final sound, "human being also dedicated himself to me."

The word "dedication" triggered a reaction from the little girl, and her eyelids trembled.

If humans can do it, so can it, and it can even carry -

The little girl was about to speak, but was stopped by the black-haired young man.

"No, you can't."

"You have been firmly tied to this village and Wenjia Village."

The sacrificed "Wen Tao" can only stay in this land regardless of life or death.

This is the wish of the people of Wenjia Village, and it is also the curse of the people of Wenjia Village.
