Meeting A Demonic Cultivator, Even God Cries

Chapter 79: Corpse Stench

Xu Hao was very afraid. As he spoke, he trembled with tears all over his face. Really, believe me, I promise that everything I say is true

Si Yu looked at him and asked bluntly, You definitely kept something from us before! Tell us now.

I-I didnt didnt, stuttered Xu Hao. He covered his mouth and began to shiver and cry in fear, seeming somewhat pathetic.

If you dont speak, then we cant do anything to help you. Si Yu raised his chin and said casually, Be careful, or youll be the next one to die. After all, he smiled at you.

Si Yu signaled the others with his eyes and said mildly, Lets go.

Xu Hao suddenly grabbed Si Yus clothes, half kneeling on the ground. I-Ill talk. Ill tell you everything I know.

Then, Xu Hao entered his ruined home. Inside the house, a strange odor filled the air. It was the smell of garbage and moldy food. After Xu Hao went inside his home, he closed the door and said bluntly, Actually, when you asked me just now, I lied.

Wang Chunjiao was right. I was stealing things from the vegetable stalls on the day Old Lady He disappeared. At that time, I bumped into Old Lady He. I saw her go inside the butchers shop, but I didnt think much of it then. I was pocketing vegetables from the Gao familys stall when I was nearly discovered, so I immediately jumped in the ditch.

Ditch? asked Gu Xizhou, raising an eyebrow. It wasnt just him. The others were also confused, and they looked at Xu Hao.

Xu Hao explained: On both sides of the road you came down, you can see that now theres a meter of bricks covering the top. In fact, theres a ditch on either side. Later, because of serious pollution, the ditches being ugly, and the water being too black, we applied to the village to cover them with bricks.

Gu Xizhou thought deeply. They really did hear the sound of gurgling water on the way. Apparently there was still water flowing through the ditch.

Xu Hao saw Gu Xizhou nod and said, At that time, I jumped into the ditch to hide for about twenty minutes. Grandpa Mo came to look for Old Lady He and they had a chat. I followed the ditch along the road and slipped back home. It was only when I came out again that I learned Old Lady He disappeared.

I saw Old Lady He go into the butchers shop with my own eyes when I was hiding in the ditch, but I didnt see her come out Actually, this wasnt a problem, but strangely, the boss of the butchers shop said himself that he didnt see Old Lady He.

Gu Xizhou raised an eyebrow and asked, Why didnt you say anything when the police came to investigate?

Were sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so were going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.

Xu Haos body shook. He raised his right hand which was missing the index finger and said, How could I dare to speak! Im scared of him, ah! That butcher chopped my finger off! At that time, he chopped off my finger to bits and threw them away, ah!

Gu Xizhou looked at him and indicated for Xu Hao to continue.

After Old Lady He went missing, I had a guess in my heart, but I was afraid I thought of the meat he sold, and I was very frightened. I sometimes watch his butcher shop secretly. I was seen by the vegetable peddlers several times, and they told that butcher that I wanted to steal his meat.

If I hadnt run away quickly, I definitely would have been treated as a thief and hacked to death. Actually, I only wanted to know if that meat that meat was human or pork in the end. At that time, I didnt dare to eat meat, and I felt sick and wanted to vomit at the sight of it.

The group was silent for a while. From Xu Haos account, Old Lady Hes killer seemed to be this butcher. After the butcher killed her, he sold the human meat. He was originally a butcher. It was easier for him to handle a dead body compared to other people.

And this NPC Xu Hao possibly saw Old Lady He enter the butchers shop and knew that Old Lady Hes death was related to the butcher. The things he saw were real, like Lin Haos corpse.

You mean the meat he sold to the villagers is human? Gu Xizhou asked, Do you have evidence?

This, this is my guess Xu Hao shrunk his neck and explained, Otherwise, how do you explain Old Lady Hes disappearance? Its definitely like this. Have the police arrest him and interrogate him. Hed definitely confess! Hes a demon!

Gu Xizhou scrutinized Xu Hao. His frightened appearance didnt look fake, and there was some sense to his words. Gu Xizhou asked him about some details. After Xu Hao answered them one by one, Gu Xizhou and the others departed.

After leaving, Xiao Nans spirit was invigorated. Now, we only have to talk about the investigation situation, and we can leave, right?

I dont think its that simple. Gu Xizhou pinched his brows and said, Isnt it too simple like this?

Xiao Nan waved his hand and said, Where is this simple? We already had a death! Is it bad to end like this? Moreover, this is one of the first few words, right? I dont think it should be too difficult.

Maybe, ba. Gu Xizhou pondered and said, First, lets go tell that old man what Xu Saner told us.

Like this Yu Yizhou unexpectedly felt disappointed. I still havent properly experienced the feeling of being able to walk and jump like this yet

You dont need to worry about that. Si Yu casually replied to Yu Yizhou. As long as you can pass the first and subsequent mission worlds, your cause of death can also change. Ive met a few people like you who were sent to the hospital after falling ill. They all experienced a spontaneous recovery. Then, like most of us, their cause of death becomes a fatal accident.

Yu Yizhous attention was seized by Si Yu, and he immediately asked with agitation, Really? Its like this? Then after I go out, I can eat something? I could eat something?

I dont know. I can only tell you exactly that your illness can recover, Si Yu said mildly.

The group walked the whole way back to Old Man Mos door. Gu Xizhou swept his eyes over the forbiddingly closed door and knocked on it.

After waiting for the old man to come out, Si Yu directly got to the point and told the old man the outcome of their investigation. The old man smiled strangely, the corners of his mouth splitting open in a bizarre arc. It looked very frightening. He said darkly, Thank you.

Xiao Nan instantly became excited when he heard the old man. He thought the old man would transform into the door, but instead the man just slammed the door.

W-why didnt he take the door out? Xiao Nan asked, feeling unwell.

Gu Xizhou swept a look at him. I said it wasnt that simple.

Xiao Nan was like a dejected rooster.

The night was uneventful.

They had yet to go downstairs when they heard a ruckus outside. All of Citrine Villages residents came out.

The group all heard the noisy racket outside and got out of bed. After washing up simply, Gu Xizhou left the room with the others. Before leaving, he intended to check the number of people. Good, all five were here without lacking an arm nor a leg.

Wang Chunjiao stood in the middle of the crowd and blocked her eyes, peeking out from a crack between her fingers at the dead body on the ground.

Heavens, ah. Who is that, ah? Isnt it too dreadful, ba?

Who could be so deranged, ah?

Gu Xizhou and the rest parted the crowd and eventually clearly saw the state of the corpse on the ground. A human head was placed on the floor and beside it was a dead pig without a head.

Blood covered the floor completely. Gu Xizhou found Xu Hao standing in the center of the onlookers. Xu Hao was trembling with fear as he looked at the head on the ground. Suddenly, he turned around and ran away with a shriek!

Gu Xizhou and the others wanted to give chase when they unexpectedly heard the sound of a stomach growling, gulu gulu.

Gu Xizhou subconsciously turned his head and saw that the head on the ground had suddenly opened its eyes, rigidly staring in the direction of Xu Haos departure with malevolence and a strange smile on its bloody face.

Ahhh This was Yu Yizhous first time coming in contact with the supernatural. His complexion was painted white, and his hand tightly grabbed Gu Xizhous clothes beside him. He trembled as he said, H-hes smiling.

Im not blind. I see it.

Yu Yizhou avoided the heads line of sight. He asked Gu Xizhou in a low voice, A-arent you scared?

Still okay, ba. Seen it several times, said Gu Xizhou casually, raising his eyebrows.

Si Yus expression was also very flat. The only people who could have a common topic with Yu Yizhou were Xiao Nan and Fang Zhi.

The butcher died. Apparently he really did have something to do with Old Lady Hes disappearance. Gu Xizhou frowned and said, but the door didnt show up.

What do we do now?

Gu Xizhou watched Si Yu. The two people made eye contact. Si Yus lips curled and he said, Dont know. Lets go find that old man first.

Okay, Ill listen to you, said Gu Xizhou.

The group went straight to the old mans house. When they knocked on the door, it opened with a creak.

The old man didnt seem to be at home. Gu Xizhou and Si Yu looked at each other and made a plan. Lets go in and take a look!

Would would there be an accident, ah? Xiao Nan said hesitantly.

If you cant part with the child, you cant catch the wolf. The door still hasnt appeared, so theres definitely a problem we didnt expect, said Gu Xizhou, raising an eyebrow. Go in and have a look. Maybe there are some clues.

Xiao Nan was still hesitant when Yu Yizhou raised his hand and said weakly, I think Gu Ge is right

Xiao Nan looked silently at the big foolish husky in front of him. It was obvious Gu Rans group of three were together at first sight. Isnt this guy quite obedient?

Xiao Nan helplessly followed Gu Xizhou and the others into the room.

As soon as they entered the courtyard, everyone automatically furrowed their brows. Somewhere in the house, something with a foul odor assailed their noses from a distance.

Gu Xizhou and Fang Zhi exchanged glances. They were very familiar with this smellThis was the smell of a corpses stench.
