[Comprehensive] The daily notes of the owner of a Chinese medicine shop

Since the appearance of a flying insect that looks like a praying mantis but is bigger than a praying mantis, the town of Taris has lost its peace.

It was a terrible insect called a wingworm, which appeared at night and constantly attacked humans and swallowed them.But because it is not afraid of the attack of water and fire, the residents of the small town don't have any power to resist it. They can only escape with their best strength when they attack.

See where they can escape to?

forest?

No, the forest at night is a place that is even more terrifying to the Beatles.

There is nowhere to run.

When aware of this reality, the people of the small town are hopeless.Since the appearance of wing insects, one fifth of the town's residents have been eaten by wing insects.And this number will become more and more sooner or later until the town disappears...

However, this is only a few days.

……

When Bai Zhi first arrived at this place, her mind was still stuck in the second when the wiped scroll came in.The last time this happened was many, many years ago.But this time, she was pulled in again without warning.

She was just cleaning books and tinkering with her abilities, but this happened.

The book that sucked her in was given by Integra, a friend of the Earl in England, and she had read it several years ago.But even so, the general plot is almost forgotten.What I vaguely remember seems to be the story of a woman, but as for the others, I really don't remember...

She still had the rest of the fumigant on her, but she didn't know what to do with it.She didn't know when she would go back, or maybe it was the same as when she went to the Huang Empire before, and she would go back when the time came?

Even though he thought so, Bai Zhi felt that things were not simple.

She was sucked into the Huang Empire because of "Nights of the Sixteen Nights", but she didn't think that the book that Integula sent had the magical ability of "Nights of the Sixteen Nights".Except for one possibility, that this book is influenced by "Sixteen Nights".

The magical book "Nights of the Sixteen Nights" has great potential to influence the world, let alone just a small book?

Why?

What is the desired result of "Sixteen Nights"?

What did it want her to do again?

"Hey! Where are you from? Get out of here quickly! It's getting dark!"

Just when Bai Zhi was thinking hard, a crisp voice interrupted her thoughts.The owner of the voice seemed very anxious, Bai Zhi looked around, and there was a backlit figure on a high slope above her.The figure slowly came out, and what appeared in front of Bai Zhi was... a line man?

She rubbed her eyes and opened them again, but it was still a line person? !

——It’s not that there’s something wrong with her eyes!

——No, this must be a fake time-travel!

It's like the line draft of a cartoonist, or the unfinished line draft, the rough human figure, which feels like it will fall apart if it moves.This is the creature that can be called "human" that Bai Zhi can see in the place where he is now.

Is it really not a joke?Rao is a well-informed person like Bai Zhi, but he can't help but feel speechless because of the current situation.

"So you came from the East? That's really a long journey."

The girl's name is Rita, she is a herbalist, and her occupation is very similar to Bai Zhi's.The difference is that the herbalists here seem to have a high status, not only can preside over weddings and funerals, but can even preside over sacrificial activities.

Bai Zhi was also surprised to hear that.But thinking about it in the book, it seems that nothing is impossible.After all, it is not the author's setting.

Besides, this small town seems to be very backward, without electricity, and there are no official roads that can lead to other places.

Some were just dirt roads that had been trampled out, barely enough for a carriage to pass through.

"I'm not qualified yet. It's my grandmother who is amazing, and I'm just learning from my grandmother."

Rita brought a cup of tea and smiled shyly.

Bai Zhi didn't know if in Rita's eyes, she was also a straight person, but Rita didn't show a shocked expression, and she was probably just surprised for a while when she claimed to be from Japan.It is estimated that it is about the same.After all, if she has seen such a style of painting since she was born, then it is not surprising, just like the people and things she has seen in her world.

Besides, it's pointless to think about it now. "Nights of the Sixteenth Night" sent her here, probably because there is something important that needs to be done by her.

When asked if any strange things happened in the town recently, Rita's expression became obviously wrong.

Bai Zhi asked, "Is there any trouble?"

Rita said: "If there are strange things, there are indeed. But in reality, they are not strange. Compared with strange things, they are quite scary..."

She folded her arms and seemed terrified to even talk about it.

"Rita! Rita!" Someone outside the door suddenly came looking for Rita. Bai Zhi saw that it was a person wearing iron armor like a soldier.

"Uncle Lawrence?"

Rita yelled and opened the door.

The man named Lawrence took off his helmet. It was a middle-aged man with a thick beard.When he saw Bai Zhi, there was a flash of surprise in his eyes, but soon, his attention returned to Rita, and he said anxiously: "Follow me! Dogo is injured!"

"what?!"

Rita covered her mouth in disbelief, her eyes were red, as if crying. "Okay, I'm going to prepare things first!"

Turning around, Rita saw Bai Zhi with an embarrassing expression on her face, "Sorry, I'm now..."

"It's okay, you go and do your work, can I walk around the town?"

"Of course." Rita smiled reluctantly, and immediately went to prepare the medicinal materials, and went out with Lawrence.Bai Zhi left with them, but soon separated.As she said earlier, she went to the town for a walk.

Whether it's people, plants, animals, or even buildings.A world without color, only the sky is as yellow as the pages of old books.

This is a strange town, everyone's face has eyes as if they have experienced disaster.But with the numbness that seems to be used to it...

Recently, something really happened...

Bai Zhi walked on the street, because of the same style of painting, so she didn't attract much attention.

Even if someone asks, it's just a claim to be a foreigner.

After sitting in a crowded place for a while, I soon got some useful news.

This small town has recently been disturbed by something called a winged insect.But Bai Zhi was sure from their fearful words that this was no longer a level of alarm.It has developed to the point of cannibalism, is it just a disturbance?

If there is no countermeasure, this town will perish sooner or later.

Such a conclusion is not what Bai Zhi wants to see.

"Excuse me, may I ask, how long have these winged insects been around?" Bai Zhi asked the woman closest to her, "Is it someone who has never seen it before, is it a stranger?" She was surprised by her unimpressed face.

——Just some unfinished lines, how do you recognize people?

——Is everyone's clothing and hair style fixed?

"Yes, hello, I am a stranger passing by here." Bai Zhi smiled slightly, but she didn't know what her smile would form under the lines.

The woman suggested worryingly: "You'd better get out of here quickly, if you are eaten by those terrible winged insects, then..." Then she shook her head and sighed.

"Excuse me, when did these winged insects appear?" Bai Zhi asked again.

The woman replied: "It's been a few days, oh, it seems to be three days ago."

Three days ago, if the time here was the same as the time outside, wouldn't that be when the roof leaked?

Bai Zhi always felt as if he had caught something.

"OK, thanks."

Bai Zhi thanked him, left the town, and went to the forest outside the town instead.

I heard that the forest at night is a place even more terrifying than winged insects.But as a divine beast, Bai Zhi has never been afraid of these things.

On the other side of the forest, on a hillside bordering the town, there is a hut where Rita's grandmother lives.Bai Zhi heard from Rita that her grandmother has been doing research for the past few days, perhaps in order to develop a medicine to eliminate those winged insects.

Could it be that "Nights of Sixteen Nights" sent her here to let her save the town from the pests?

I don't know if this is the case, but Bai Zhi wants to try it.

The dusky sky gradually descended into night.

Soon, buzzing sounds came from my ears, and these sounds were louder than the decibels of ordinary mosquitoes.Just like a car engine.

Bai Zhi concealed her figure, and when she saw those things called winged insects, she also gasped.

The body of this thing is bigger than her body!

The winged insects couldn't see her, and flew directly past her, towards the lonely town.

Baizhi turned into a baby bird and followed.

Were those wingworms really just three days ago?

But something this big couldn't have appeared just three days ago!

It was dark in the town, perhaps because the arrival of the winged insects had been expected, so no one lit a fire.A group of winged insects flew towards the small town, densely filling the entire sky above the small town, looking so pale and numb.

Bai Zhi, who was flying in the air, found that the residents of the town had all gathered outside Grandma Rita's cabin.The wingworm flew there quickly.

At this moment, Rita's voice came from a corner of the town.Accompanied by the sound of glass shattering on the windows.

Bai Zhi immediately flew in that direction, and happened to see Rita who was being chased by the winged insect.

When she was about to be caught by the wingworm's mouthparts, Bai Zhi appeared, grabbed Rita's arm and flew into the sky.

"what!"

Rita was still in shock, and found herself in the sky in vain.

"What is this?!"

"It's me, Bai Zhi."

"Bai, Miss Baizhi?!"

With her stunned expression, Bai Zhi continued to ask: "Is there no safe place?"

"I can't imagine... Grandma's potion was still useful in the past, but now..."

"Before? Three days ago?"

"No." Rita shook her head, "Grandmother once said that when she was a child, there were things similar to wingworms, and those medicines were still useful at that time..."

In fact, it was also useful when it first appeared, but the efficacy of the medicine is getting worse and worse, and even if it is useful, there is no way to wipe it out.

"The incense developed by my grandmother is only a little bit effective, and now the residents of the town can only rely on the incense to survive. But it can't last much time at all... One day..."

"Aren't the other ones that have been developed useful?"

Although acknowledging, Rita nodded dejectedly.

After the attack of the winged insects, it is possible that all the people in the town fled to the hillside in time this time, so no one was killed, and some minor injuries could be cured.

After all the wing worms retreated, the residents of the town rested for a while, and only returned to the town when the sky turned pale.

And Bai Zhi only showed up with Rita after they left.

She could smell the incense used by Rita's grandmother... In a daze, she seemed to understand the meaning of "Nights of the Sixteenth Night"...

The author has something to say: If you overestimate yourself, you can end it in two chapters.

This dungeon is modeled after the Book of Twilight in Danterian's Bookshelf.

It's the bookworm! "Sixteen Nights" can't stand it anymore!Then Ah Zhi went through time travel to fight insects!
