Quick Wear: Lu Ming She Has Many Children and Blessings
Chapter 397: Struggling to Survive in a Weird World 8
【main mission:
1: Deal with weirdness.
2: Survive. (Survive for 3 days.)]
The night was as dark as ink and the cold wind was howling.
Lu Ming stood in front of the gate of a gloomy and terrifying house, feeling an inexplicable fear in her heart. She looked around and found that besides herself, there was also a man and a woman standing there.
The man was burly and expressionless, while the woman was as cold as a winter plum, with a deep gaze. Neither of them spoke, as if they were bound by the atmosphere around them.
Looking up, I saw that the building in front of me exuded a gloomy atmosphere, as if countless wronged souls were wandering in it.
It was pitch black all around, with only the occasional rustling of leaves and the barking of dogs in the distance breaking the deathly silence.
Suddenly, a sharp squeak sounded, and a steward wearing a melon-shaped hat bent over and said in a trembling voice: "My lords, the mayor wants to see you."
Lu Ming did not hesitate and followed him into the house.
The interior of the house was even more eerie and terrifying. The cold atmosphere seemed to be able to penetrate one's bones, making one shudder.
As soon as I walked into the main reception hall, a rotten smell of corpses hit me in the face, making me shiver.
As soon as she stepped in, she felt an even stronger yin energy coming towards her, as if an invisible hand was hugging her tightly from behind, making her shiver uncontrollably.
They were led into a main reception hall. As soon as they reached the door, Lu Ming smelled a strong stench that was nauseating.
Her heart skipped a beat. It seemed that this mayor was not a good person.
Sitting in the main seat was a middle-aged man in a brocade gown, it was Mayor Liu.
When he saw the three people coming in, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes, and then he said with a fake smile: "It's true that heroes emerge from youth."
The butler led the three people to sit down. Mayor Liu seemed to have some concerns and remained silent.
After the maid served tea and left, he slowly spoke: "My lords, this is the case. The town has been a bit uneasy lately. There may be a strange creature."
His voice was low, as if he was talking about something very scary: "It has killed many people. Recently, the people in the town are in a panic. As the mayor, I am having a hard time."
The middle-aged man among the three taskers said in a deep voice: "Since the mayor trusts us, we should do our best." The cold woman also nodded in agreement.
Lu Ming felt that the matter was far from that simple, so she asked, "Mayor Liu, do you have any other more detailed information?"
There was a glimmer of joy in Mayor Liu's eyes. Since he asked, there must be hope.
Mayor Liu took a deep breath and began to narrate: "There is a very effective witch in our town. She communicates with ghosts through the art of asking rice. This art of asking rice, also known as the art of communicating with the dead, is to put a bowl of white rice next to the witch and use a specific ritual to summon the dead ghosts to possess the witch so that she can talk to the people in the world of the living."
He paused for a moment and continued, "There are many taboos in this art of asking for the gods, but Goddess Liu seems to have no taboos, so not many people in our town believe in her."
"Let's not talk about whether it was true or not. Yesterday, when Goddess Liu was asking for the fortune for the Zhang family, she did summon a ghost. But that ghost was not from the Zhang family, but an evil ghost."
Hearing this, Lu Ming couldn't help but shudder.
The middle-aged man and the cold woman also showed solemn expressions. They knew that this mission might be much more difficult than they had imagined.
"Just yesterday, more than a dozen people died suddenly and mysteriously. Their deaths were tragic, and their causes were... very strange."
Mayor Liu spoke this horrifying news in a trembling voice, his eyes filled with fear and confusion.
"They... they started to rot soon after they died, as if they had been dead for many days." Mayor Liu gritted his teeth and continued to describe the horrific scene with difficulty. "Also, every time a dead person was found, there was a bowl of rice next to him."
This sentence was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, shocking several people.
"A bowl of rice?" one of them repeated, with disbelief in his voice.
"That's right." Mayor Liu nodded, "Yes, because the Zhang family's incident happened after Goddess Liu asked about the rice, so we all guessed that there was some connection between the two incidents.
Although the faces of several people were a little pale, Mayor Liu still urgently asked them to help, "Since the adults are all here, there is no time to waste. Please act as soon as possible! Maybe fewer people will die in the town."
"Ok!"
The three of them looked at each other, stood up tacitly, and walked out.
Walking on the empty and deserted streets, they felt unprecedented depression and heaviness.
"My name is Uncle Ren, and I'm an E-level exorcist." The middle-aged man broke the silence first, trying to use his identity to stabilize the atmosphere.
"My name is Xiao Zhou, and I'm also an E-level exorcist." A cold female voice followed.
Lu Ming could see that neither of them wanted to reveal their names, so he followed suit and said, "Just call me Xiao Su."
There are two E-level exorcists in this copy, which is a pretty good level. Lu Ming feels a little more at ease about this trip.
After introducing each other, the three of them went out.
The townspeople outside probably all knew that the town was haunted, so even though it was still daytime, the streets were empty, without a single person in sight.
The three of them strolled on the street for a long time, but found nothing except a strong sense of yin and strange silence.
Several people were a little discouraged, but they were not disheartened. After all, the copy was like this. When you first came in, the monsters were weak and it was relatively safe except for finding difficult points. The further you go, the stronger the monsters become, and they will come to you on their own if you don't look for them.
"Why don't we just search separately, looking for more clues, and then work together after we find them."
Xiao Zhou suddenly stopped and suggested.
"This is weird. If we go separately, will it be..." The middle-aged man was a little hesitant. He still felt that it was safer in numbers.
Xiao Zhou frowned and said without giving any face: "That's weird. The three of us exorcists are too big to lure out."
"Besides, we are all exorcists, so even if we really run into them, we are not completely defenseless."
Uncle Ren felt a little embarrassed to be scolded for his incompetence by a woman in front of him, so he could only look at Lu Ming who was standing next to him and had not yet expressed his opinion.
"I'm fine with anything. I'll listen to you."
"Then let's split up. I'll go this way." Xiao Zhou said and randomly chose a direction to walk forward.
Lu Ming also followed suit and randomly chose a direction. Uncle Ren might have been a little concerned about Xiao Zhou, so he chose a direction opposite to her.
After the three of them separated, they took a few steps before being attracted by a magnificent old house.
