The Witch's Taste

Chapter 41 Mie Nishikawa - Criminal Motive
At the moment when the touch of the abyss entangled the totem, almost all the ghouls around pounced on it, and began to frantically attack and tear the giant tentacles, trying to rescue the totem from it.

Chen Zi'ang dragged Yue Gong Ling Nai to flee.He saw at least six or more ghouls with just a rough scan of the light just now, and there was absolutely no chance of winning in a head-on confrontation.

But the other side did not intend to let the culprit go. The two ghouls closest to the entrance of the cave quickly outflanked and attacked, one left and one right.

Their hind legs bounced extremely powerfully, and they rushed to the side in two or three vertical leaps, with some ominous, scalp-numbing sounds of bones and joints moving, as well as the extremely foul-smelling rotten aura around them.

One of them lowered its body and approached quickly, the sharp claws of both hands swept across like a gust of wind, tearing towards Tsukimiya Suzuna's soft abdomen.

The other leaped high, its claws spread like a sword made of steel, and slashed down at Chen Zi'ang with the weight of its whole body.

Chen Ziang pulled out the mandala magic sword with his backhand, trying to resist the attack from the air.Huge force came from the sword, forcing him to stagger back, and his right arm seemed to be dislocated in an instant.

But years and weird wrestling experience still come into play.When his right hand was out of strength and unable to hold the sword, Chen Ziang quickly lowered his left hand, and with the help of the mandala magic sword that fell due to the release of his right hand, he stabbed upwards again suddenly.

The ghoul really didn't expect the counterattack to come so quickly, and was about to take advantage of the momentum to rush forward to pursue it, but the magic sword pierced its shoulder, and the skin around the wound quickly shriveled.

It was too late to go up to make up the knife to confirm, Chen Ziang quickly turned his head to look beside him, and saw that half of another ghoul's body had already flown out, the shadow warrior flashed by the light of the emergency flashlight, and quickly disappeared into the moon palace Suzuna The feet are gone.

"Beautiful!" Chen Ziang couldn't help saying.

Then he reacted abruptly, and continued to pull Yue Gong Suzuna out of the cave, and fled towards the direction of the road when he came.

"Bring back the book!" came the screams of the ghouls from behind.

Their voices are rough and piercing, like vocal cords polished by sandpaper, with some kind of cruel and thick malice, rapidly approaching in the reverberation from all directions in the cave.

Chen Ziang's heart became ruthless, and with his thoughts, the touch of the deep abyss wrapped around the bone totem immediately contracted violently.

The entangled skull totem also made an overwhelmed sound.

"Stop! Stop!" The ghouls yelled again in a panic.

But where is Chen Ziang willing to stop?Now he can only maintain the summoning of one tentacle at the same time. If he doesn't disarm the thick tentacle in the blood pool, this skill will be sealed and cannot be used.

But the ghouls can calmly divide their troops, some of them are trying to help the Bone Totem out of trouble, and the other are chasing and killing them, without any worries at all.

Therefore, the moment he rushed out of the cave and entered the tunnel, he gave the trigger of the underworld the command to "destroy the totem".

Accompanied by the reminder of the 100-point tinder of the shadow cloak, there was also a wave of furious anger from behind, and the ghouls had all gone berserk, vowing to tear the two intruders into pieces .

Chen Ziang had put all his eggs in one basket, and ran desperately along the passage he came from, feeling as if the ground under his feet was trembling crazily.

Fortunately, Tsukimiya Suzuna followed him nimbly, and didn't have a series of behaviors that raised blood pressure, such as suddenly twisting her ankle or falling to the ground, like the common idiot heroines in movies.

The two quickly rushed to the blockage of the tunnel, Chen Ziang pushed Yuegong Suzuna into the slit, and he raised his hand again.

The huge touch of the abyss rose from the ground, blocking the way of the ghouls who were chasing after them.

For a while, the sound of footsteps, screams, fighting, cursing, and the sound of tentacles whipping the rock wall and flesh, all mixed into a huge disorderly sound wave, and the chaos swallowed everything around like a tide.

Yuegong Suzuna, who got into the slit, stretched out her hand, and was about to pull Chen Ziang in, but the latter was suddenly stunned on the spot, unable to move.

Coming from a distant and deep unknown dimension, the ghoul king's cold gaze, attracted by the destruction of the bone totem, followed the location of the old book, and finally locked the existence of Chen Ziang from the air.

Under the action of an unknown force, his heart suddenly stopped beating, his blood coagulated, his muscles stiffened and rotted, his bones decayed and rotted, and he lost his life in an instant.

Yuegong Suzuna hugged him tightly, and the shadow wrapped Chen Ziang's body.

"Lord of the Great Deep Sea! I know you're watching!" she cried tremblingly, "The ebb and flow of the tide is also governed by laws. How can a person who executes your will be swallowed by that rotten thing instead?"

There was another deep, old chuckle, and Chen Ziang's body was revived again at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The heart beat again, the blood began to flow, the muscles became rosy, the bones solidified and formed, and the chest gradually began to rise and fall.

Yue Gong Ling Nai breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly pushed Chen Zi'ang through the slit, while the shadow pulled hard on the other side, carried him through the collapsed and blocked tunnel, and then rushed outside with him on his back.

After leaving the mine and just returning to the surface, she saw a figure standing not far away, holding a flashlight to shine on it.

The lights of the two shone on each other's face at the same time, and Tsukimiya Suzuna finally saw that what was waiting for her here was the proprietress of the hotel, Mrs. Fuyutsuki.

"I thought you were already dead down there." Mrs. Dongyue said with a smile.

"I've let you down." Yuegong Lingna supported Chen Ziang, "You are Xi Chuan Meihui, right?"

"Yes, it's me." The other party asked with a calm expression, "You recognize me? You know my story, don't you?"

"I'm not interested in your story." Tsukimiya Suzuna said coldly.

"But you should be able to feel that kind of despair." Xi Chuanmeihui said with a smile, "That kind of pain and despair when you see your loved one lose, but you can't do anything about it. Would you like to listen to me?"

Yuegong Suzuna stopped talking, but concentrated on checking Chen Ziang's physical condition.

"They were killed by me." Xi Chuan Meihui's smile gradually paled, with a kind of almost numb and stiff expression, "My husband will push the cart out every day after get off work, selling tempura at the school gate. When school is over, I’ll pick them up in the family van.”

"But that day...my husband and I quarreled on the phone and told him that we would not pick him up. When school was over, he and the children didn't wait for me, so we had to push the cart back from the town slowly. The result was I met those beasts on the road..."

Her face suddenly convulsed violently, as if she wanted to cry out, but she didn't shed any tears, but her eyeballs seemed to protrude from their sockets.

"So it's your fault." Tsukimiya Suzuna said coldly, "But you plan to blame others, it's ridiculous."

"Who said it wasn't?" Xi Chuan Meihui's smile had completely disappeared, leaving only a weird and distorted expression, "I, originally planned to avenge them, and then find a place to kill myself."

"But ah, even this small, humble wish of mine can't be fulfilled."

She said in a playful tone, her thin cheeks twitched for a moment, and continued to speak:

"I used to pin my hopes on the town hall and Jibei City to avenge me, but the town hall forced me to withdraw the lawsuit, and the city judged me to lose the case, forcing me to a desperate situation."

"Even if I fell into hell, all I wanted was to avenge my family and kill all the wolves in the wild..."

Having said that, she suddenly showed a weird smile:
"Then I discovered that most of the so-called wild wolves are just abandoned and raised stray dogs that have flowed out from Jibei City and have been completely feral."
