Trickster Hunter

Chapter 276 "Female Ghost"

"It's getting late today. If you want to attend tomorrow's sacrificial ceremony, it's recommended that you rest early." The little girl said, "You can stay in the hotels, inns and empty houses in the town without paying any fees."

"This sky... is it not too early?" Sun Hang looked up at the sky. In addition to the bright moon, the dark night always enveloped the entire town - for people living in Shuzhou, they have gradually become accustomed to this kind of life night after night.

"We are going to prepare for the ceremony, so I'll leave first." The two little girls nodded slightly to Sun Hang and then turned and left.

In the blink of an eye, they turned into an alley and disappeared from Sun Hang's sight.

Sun Hang quickly followed, but when he walked to the place where the two little girls disappeared, he found that there was no alley at all, only a solid concrete wall between the two houses.

Sun Hang walked forward and pushed the concrete wall hard.

The wall did not move at all.

Sun Hang took another careful look, and it didn't look like there was any secret passage or secret door.

"Another trick? Do you want me to track you?" Sun Hang muttered to himself.

He reached out and touched his throat again. The big hole on his throat was still there. He put his fingers into the hole and could even feel the mucous membrane inside the esophagus and the muscle texture under the mucosa.

The edge of the hole was very smooth, with no signs of trauma at all, as if the hole was originally part of the normal physiological structure - just like the eye sockets, nostrils and mouth, it was a "channel" connecting the human body to the outside world.

Sun Hang thought for a moment, then took out his mobile phone and switched the camera to the front camera for selfies.

Just as he expected, in the picture taken by the camera, the moon behind him was as bright as blood, and his throat was intact - the creepy big hole disappeared silently just as it appeared.

Sun Hang reached out and touched it. His fingertips felt the normal touch of the neck skin, the fine sweat hairs and slightly raised hair follicles, and the Adam's apple under the skin that slid up and down with the swallowing action.

Sun Hang stuffed the remaining compressed biscuit into his mouth, chewed it up and swallowed it.

He could clearly feel that the food passed through the esophagus smoothly and did not leak out of the "non-existent big hole" in the throat.

"... So, cognition is existence? This is really an idealistic world?"

Sun Hang pressed his hand on the Adam's apple and moved the camera of his mobile phone away.

The next second, his fingertips suddenly felt empty, and half of his hand was directly pressed into his throat.

"Cough cough... Oh my god." Sun Hang quickly pulled his hand out in a violent cough.

The big hole appeared again.

But the good news is that the food that had just been eaten has now passed through this area of ​​the esophagus and did not fly out of the hole.

"Isn't this problem easy to solve? Just put a mirror in front of you when you eat... Why don't people in the town..."

At this point, Sun Hang suddenly paused.

He suddenly realized that he was different from the people in the town.

The image of the townspeople was very different from what the naked eye saw and what was in the mirror, but there was one thing in common, that is, whether it was a "human model" or a "strange look", they all had a big hole in their throats - this point was verified by Sun Hang when he examined those "corpses".

And he himself was just the opposite.

Whether it was Sun Hang seen by the naked eye or Sun Hang in the mirror, they looked the same - at least the part below the head was the same - but there was one most significant difference, that is, Sun Hang in the mirror had no hole in his throat.

Sun Hang put away his mobile phone and looked up at the moon in the sky.

He knew very well that he was always an outsider.

The so-called "becoming a member of Maoyun Town" was probably a lie by the two little girls...As for the last outsider who came to Maoyun Town, his situation was probably the same as his.

Just when Sun Hang was about to walk around the town for a while, a crisp clapper sound suddenly rang out.

A night watchman wearing a straw hat, blue-gray homespun clothes, and straw sandals came over and looked Sun Hang up and down. Sun Hang noticed that this night watchman had no head. A bamboo pole was inserted on his neck, holding up this tattered straw hat. The bamboo pole was wrapped with circles of straw, forming a shape like a human head.

On the front of this straw head, there was a piece of rice paper with a stiff and dull face drawn on it with an ink pen.

"It's getting late." A dull voice came from the neck of the night watchman, "Don't hang around on the street anymore."

"Uh... curfew?" Sun Hang suddenly remembered that in order to facilitate management, quarantine areas generally have a curfew system - just like the current Tianfu City.

"Since you know, why do you still break the rules?" The night watchman's tone seemed a little dissatisfied.

"What will be the punishment for breaking the rules?" Sun Hang asked.

"The mayor will be very unhappy."

"What will happen if the mayor is unhappy?"

"Tomorrow's sacrificial ceremony may be cancelled, and everyone will suffer from hunger because of you."

"..."

Sun Hang originally wanted to rebel, but when he heard that the other party might directly cancel the sacrificial ceremony, he couldn't help but waver in his heart.

After thinking it over again and again, he decided not to make trouble.

"Okay, okay, I'll find a place to stay right away."

Sun Hang returned to the Zhou family's courtyard, kicked open the courtyard door that had been repaired at some time, and walked in swaggeringly.

Most of the houses in the town are dilapidated and old. This Zhou family compound is a rare "mansion".

"Sorry to bother you, stay here for one night." Sun Hang said loudly to the main room.

Originally, I felt a little guilty for wiping out Sun Hang's entire family, but after hearing that "people" in the town all had their own "immortality BUFF", the children of the Zhou family were wiped out because they touched something they shouldn't. After being killed by Sun Hang, Sun Hang's trace of guilt suddenly disappeared.

"Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..." A burst of resentful crying came from all directions, and a ball of hair wrapped in a robe floated out from the main room, huddled in the corner from a distance, "looking" at Sun Hang.

This time, "she" didn't go crazy and pounced on Sun Hang.

I don’t know if it’s because of fear or because I know the real cause of death of my child.

"Don't be afraid, madam. It's just a one-night stay." Sun Hang waved to the ball of hair, "My surname is not Cao. Why are you so far away from me? Please come over and talk."

The clump of hair did not float over, but stayed fixedly in place. The hair strands floated back and forth, looking as if they were trembling.

"I won't hurt you, don't be afraid of me." Sun Hang changed to a more normal way of speaking, "I just have a few questions to ask you."

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" Sun Hang's response was still a burst of resentful crying.

"I remember that you can talk. Didn't you keep shouting, 'Give me back my son's life'? Why can you only whine now?" Sun Hang scratched his head and said, "It can't be that the vocal organ came out during the resurrection. What's the problem? No, you don't have normal vocal organs either?"

The ball of hair shrank back a few steps, almost sticking to the wall of the main room.

"If you don't come over, can I go over?" Sun Hang said.

The other party trembled obviously, and then slowly floated towards Sun Hang. Finally, he stopped about five meters away from Sun Hang, saying that he was not willing to take another step closer.

Sun Hang simply sat out in the yard, took out an alcohol stove from his backpack, set it up on the ground, and lit a fire - everything in the Zhou family yard was good, except for one problem, which was that there was no light source. If you want to see something, you have to rely on the moonlight from the sky or the scattered light sources from nearby houses. The whole yard is dark, and the visibility is really worse than on the street.

It was just a little brighter when Sun Hang set the fire. Now that the fire is out, everything has returned to its original appearance.

As the alcohol stove was lit, Sun Hang took a long breath: "Huh... I feel much better now."

He looked up at the ball of hair, waved and said, "Want to come over and warm up by the fire together?"

The hair was pulled back a few inches to express the meaning of rejection.

"Okay, whatever you want, I'll leave at dawn anyway." Sun Hang nodded, "As long as you can answer a few questions, I promise not to hurt you."

When Sun Hang set the entire Zhou family compound on fire, he was sure that he had not lost all his abilities. At least, his mysterious and strange physique was still there.

"...You...want to ask...what?" A soft female voice came from within the hair.

If the person who yelled "Give me my son's life" before was a life-threatening ghost, then this guy seems to have turned into a gentle and delicate female ghost... Sun Hang remembered that it seemed that the Japanese people returned the favor to Sadako. As a prototype, I created many R18 books. If the existence of this person is known to those cartoonists, there may be many new works on some websites overnight.

Wife, mother, widow... these are all hotly searched tags, and with a contrasting plot, it might be hard not to become popular.

As long as you are brave, even monsters can take maternity leave.

The only pity is that the figure under the robe is too shriveled.

In Sun Hang's impression, the only Sadako novel he had read was that when the heroine crawled out of the screen, she got stuck in the screen because the size of a certain part of her body was too exaggerated, and was eventually killed by the male protagonist. Take advantage of everything.

"Ah... big is beautiful, big is good." Sun Hang couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

But right now, business matters.

"Maoyun Town, there must have been an outsider here once." Sun Hang pointed at himself, "An outsider like me."

"There was once... an outsider..." The other party nodded the non-existent head, "It's just that he was... different from you."

"Uh, what's the difference?" Sun Hang asked immediately.

"He...is...is...a person..."

"You mean...I'm not a human being?" Sun Hang looked complicated.

There was no answer.

If you don’t answer, that’s probably the default.

Sun Hang let out a sigh of relief, but it was true that the other party thought so. How could a normal person burn the entire yard with his own blood...

I'm afraid these monsters look at themselves just like ordinary people look at monsters...

"How long has he lived in Maoyun Town?"

"Two months...three months..."

"Is it two months or three months?"

"..."

"Well, maybe that's not important." Sun Hang asked, "Do you know his name?"

"Li...Li Junwen."

Sun Hang had never heard of this name, and he didn't know whether this person had returned to the human civilization world alive after leaving Maoyun Town. If he entered this name into the archives of Tianshu Tower, he might be able to find something with his authority, but the premise was that Sun Hang had to return to the original world.

"Is he the same as you?" Sun Hang asked again, "I mean, immortal."

"No... the same." The female ghost shook her head, her black hair fluttering in the wind, and her shadow on the stone slab swayed under the light of the fire. "He didn't... accept... the initial blessing... he will die. But... as long as he... leaves... he can... eat enough."

"You mean, as long as he leaves Maoyun Town, he can get rid of the curse... or in other words, get rid of the blessing?"

"What he eats... won't... fall out..." said the female ghost, "but he... will still... feel hungry... endless... hunger."

"Then why don't I... I feel hungry, is it because I just had a meal not long ago? "

"..."

"Do I have to stay in the town for a while to become like you, with an insatiable appetite for food? "

"..."

"Don't you know, or don't want to answer?"

"..."

"Okay, let me change the question." Sun Hang looked at the female ghost, "Your body is a ball of hair, can you be hungry? If you are hungry, how can you eat? You don't even have a mouth."

"..."

Sun Hang looked up and down at the female ghost, and immediately slapped his forehead: "Oh, I understand! Turn around."

The female ghost floated in place, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly turned around.

Sun Hang took out his mobile phone.

The female ghost under the camera is no longer a ball of hair without flesh, but a pale, skinny woman with long hair that drags on the ground. It is hard not to worry that she will accidentally trip herself when walking.

Although Sun Hang can't see her front, there should be such a big hole in her throat.

"It's a bit strange. Why do the other townspeople look like humans to my naked eyes, but they become deformed flesh and blood in the mirror? But for you, it's the opposite - what I see with my naked eyes are weird creatures, but in the mirror, they look somewhat like humans."
