As Tengu's Devouring the Sun comes to an end, the collapsed houses before Yan returned to the city are slowly returning to their original state. Even in the blink of an eye, the ghosts who were still kneeling on the ground turned transparent one by one, until finally Completely disappeared... It turned out that there was really no one in Yan Hui's city after dawn.
Seeing that all the ghosts in the city had disappeared, Song Jiang turned to look at Meng Zhe and said, "Let's go back to Big Guy's house first!"
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a somewhat ethereal female voice was heard faintly coming from the city lord's mansion, "Who are you?! Why do you appear in Yanhui City..."
Song Jiang heard such a sound unexpectedly and almost peeed out of fright. He thought he would definitely be caught this time, but in the end, the voice just asked such a question and said nothing more. The two waited for a while to confirm that the other party really just said After saying a word, there was no movement...
"Let's go. It's probably because the solar eclipse is over. If she wants to cause us trouble again, she'll have to wait until it's dawn here and it's dark outside." Meng Zhe said with an indifferent expression.
When the two returned to Big Man's house, he had been waiting at the door early. When he saw Song Jiang and Meng Zhe coming back, he pointed to the sky to indicate that the Tengu had just swallowed the sun...
Song Jiang nodded when he saw it and said, "We have seen it too. Do tengu swallowing the sun often happen here?"
After hearing this, the big man shook his head and said that he didn't know either. Then he pointed anxiously at the inside of the house and asked them to go in and take a look. Song Jiang and Meng Zhe didn't know what happened, so they could only follow the big man in, only to find that It turned out that the two frozen corpses had been completely thawed...
Meng Zhe looked at the corpses on the ground, pondered for a moment and said, "If I'm not wrong, our city lord's family should have no food left after this battle, otherwise she wouldn't have temporarily captured a few ordinary ghosts in the city. Go in..."
"That is to say, the two frozen corpses we have in our hands are the last two living souls harvested from outside in the city. If the fried turkey still wants to devour the living souls, he will have to go outside to find them, or... Just use the ready-made ones in the city." When Song Jiang said this, he looked at the big man and said, "Do you know how often the city lord usually devours a living soul?"
The big guy raised a finger at them without hesitation...
Song Jiang saw him and asked tentatively, "One month...?"
The big man shook his head after hearing this, and compared it again. Song Jiang was suddenly surprised and said, "Isn't it going to be eaten once a day?"
This time the big man did not shake his head, but looked at Song Jiang silently, acquiescing to his answer. Song Jiang looked at Meng Zhe and said, "If this is the case... then we just need to stop them from going out to harvest souls. Open the door and prevent the living souls from outside from entering Yan Hui City, so Yan Hui City will disappear on its own in a short time."
Meng Zhe nodded after hearing this and said, "This is a way... We can slowly digest these ghosts in the city without us doing anything."
After hearing this, Song Jiang thought for a while and said, "It still doesn't work... It's a bit too cruel to do this. Instead of having the soul devoured by the fried turkey, it is better to go to the underworld for trial. If not, there is still a chance of reincarnation. After all, the soul will be gone." There is nothing left, it can be regarded as truly disappearing from this world."
Seeing Song Jiang's hesitation, Meng Zhe shook his head and said, "Compassion does not control soldiers... Sometimes you cannot be merciful, otherwise it is very likely to cause endless troubles."
Song Jiang felt somewhat dissatisfied after hearing this, but he understood that Meng Zhe was right, so he helplessly glanced at the two corpses that had collapsed on the ground and said, "What should we do with these two?"
Only then did Meng Zhe take a closer look at the two corpses and found that they were all around thirty years old. They were wearing professional outdoor jackets. The only wound on their bodies was the knife mark on their neck. They were almost killed by one knife. He didn't leave any room for action... It was so innocent to die like this when he was in his prime. !
Thinking of this, Meng Zhe said in a deep voice, "What can we do? Take them out! Then let the underworld come and take them away... Looking at their clothes, you can tell that they have been dead for a few years. Take them out to give their families an explanation. There has to be a certain fate when it comes to death, otherwise we have to keep holding on to useless hope, which is also very cruel to their families."
The big guy was listening to the whole conversation between Song Jiang and Meng Zhe. When he heard that Song Jiang and the others were preparing to take the two corpses out, he knelt down for them without saying a word, and then kowtowed three times. The sound of his head frightened Song Jiang into confusion. He wondered what this guy wanted to do. !
However, Meng Zhe reacted quickly enough and guessed what was happening immediately, so he asked, "Do you want us to take you out too?"
Unexpectedly, the big man shook his head, then pointed to the room with the curtains, and then scooped up the dust on the ground into a small bag. Song Jiang understood what he meant instantly when he saw it, "You want us to take you His mother went out for burial?"
The big guy immediately nodded vigorously upon hearing this, and then kowtowed to the two of them three times to express his gratitude.
When Meng Zhe saw that he had also guessed wrong, he asked tentatively, "Don't you want to go out?"
The big man's eyes froze after hearing this, and then he slowly shook his head, as if he didn't care at all whether he could leave here. He just wanted to ask Song Jiang and the others to bring his mother's bones to the real world for burial, even though her soul was long gone... But he still hopes that his mother can be buried in peace.
Unexpectedly, Meng Zhe said in a deep voice, "If you don't go out, who will help us move the body?"
As soon as these words came out, the big man was stunned. He really never thought that he would be able to leave here one day. After hearing this, Song Jiang quickly agreed, "This is the truth... This friend of mine is a little bit mysophobic. "
The big guy didn't seem to understand what mysophobia was, and his eyes were a little confused for a moment. Song Jiang explained when he saw it, "He just loves to be poor and fastidious, so he can't carry a body...I can carry it, but you see, I can carry it with my physique." Do you want to touch these two guys plus your mother?"
After hearing this, the big man lowered his head, as if he was thinking about whether he should go out with Song Jiang and the others. This inevitably made Song Jiang and Meng Zhe curious. If it were someone else who knew that they had the opportunity to leave here, they would have agreed without saying a word. He came down, but the big guy still hesitated.
Song Jiang could see that the identity of this big man should be very unusual. At least it should be similar to what they had guessed at the beginning. He and the city lord had a close relationship whether they were enemies or lovers, otherwise he would not be as hesitant as he is now, or even hesitate. Entrusting my mother's remains to others...
