Chapter 64: Waiting for the Monster
Yu Deshui is a traveling merchant who travels everywhere. How could he not have a few capable fighters around him?
That fellow is a skilled warrior.
How could I let an old woman rob me?
After just a few words they started fighting.
As a result, the guy was injured and the old woman snatched the bag and ran away.
Yu Deshui was afraid that the old woman would come again, so he had someone escort him and the cowhide bag into the city at night and reported to the authorities.
"Don't worry, if it's really a demon causing trouble, the Sujing Division will definitely not let it go."
Jiang Zhou consoled her and asked, "Did you bring the bag?"
Yu Deshui said quickly: "I've brought it! It's outside!"
Jiang Zhou winked at a man holding a knife.
Soon he went out and brought in a man carrying a cowhide bag.
Jiang Zhou stood up from behind the table and asked the man to open the cowhide bag.
Suddenly a foul odor hit me in the face.
Everyone in the public housing covered their mouths and noses, and their faces turned blue.
Jiang Zhou endured the stench and stretched his head to take a look.
The bag is filled with dense human tissue.
Fingers, toes, ears, tongue, teeth, hair, etc. were all covered in blood.
He wrapped his hands with a piece of cloth and turned over while suppressing his nausea.
His face suddenly turned gloomy.
He didn't even cover his nose and slowly stood up.
Have someone tie up the bag.
Jiang Zhou turned around and paced back and forth in the public housing.
He was calming the anger in his heart.
Except for the teeth and hair, the rest of these parts have smooth cut ends, probably because they were cut off by a sharp weapon.
It would probably take dozens of people to come up with so many things.
What made Jiang Zhou angry was that these organs were very small.
Obviously they all came from children.
It's simply insane!
But Jiang Zhou really couldn’t figure out what these things were used for?
Take a deep breath and have someone take the bag away.
Jiang Zhou turned around and his expression had returned to normal.
He asked Yu Deshui: "Where did you find this?"
"It's just outside the city, Xijindu!"
Yu Deshui said in horror, "Sir! Please understand me. I just brought the cargo to Wujun and I haven't even landed yet when I fished this unlucky thing out of the water. This has nothing to do with me!"
"Okay, I didn't say it had anything to do with you."
Jiang Zhou waved his hand and said, "You said that old woman was a demon. How did you know that?"
Yu Deshui nodded repeatedly: "Not bad!"
He pointed at the man and said, "Your Excellency, you may not know that this guy of mine is very capable. He can crush stones into powder with his iron claws. He is quite famous in the martial arts world..."
Jiang Zhou waved his hand to interrupt, pointed at the man and said, "Alright, let him talk."
Yu Deshui said quickly: "Yes, yes, Li Si, please explain it to the official."
The man was a little dull, and he said honestly: "When I was fighting with that old woman, I caught her vital points several times."
"It's like grabbing a ball of cotton wool. It doesn't look like flesh and blood at all. And it breaks when you grab it. It's like a piece of paper."
"But every time I scratch her, she will recover quickly. She is impossible to kill. Otherwise, I would definitely not be defeated by her."
"She also said that she would come back, and if you want to live, put the contents of the bag back to where it came from and give it back to her."
The man didn't explain it very clearly, and Jiang Zhou asked about a few key points before he could explain it clearly.
It looks like it's most likely a demon.
Jiang Zhou asked Yu Deshui a few more questions and then came up with a plan.
After sending Yu Deshui away, he summoned the other victims one after another and sorted out the cases one by one.
In most of them, it can be confirmed that the perpetrators are demons, and their whereabouts can be traced.
When it comes to sitting in court and handling cases, actually, this step is almost enough.
The task of capturing and killing demons can be assigned to the people holding the knife below.
If the man wielding the knife is unable to solve the problem, he will be beaten back and the demon patrol guards will take action.
However, Jiang Zhou rarely encounters so many low-level monsters, so how could he be willing to let them go?
I took it all on myself.
The task assigned to the knife bearer was only to locate the demon's whereabouts.
The remaining cases are more troublesome. The demons involved are rather mysterious, with no trace to be found, and we don’t even know if they are demons.
Jiang Zhou was put aside for the time being.
I plan to deal with those cases with clear facts first.
Especially the things in that cowhide bag.
He had to find out who was so cruel and cruel!
…
midnight.
Outside the city of Wujun, there is Xijin Ferry.
Jiang Zhou was sitting on a boat near the ferry.
Yu Deshui and a few strong men hid in the cabin, watching nervously through the gap.
The cowhide bag filled with various human body parts was thrown on the shore.
It looked like it was just thrown there by someone.
He is waiting for the devil.
Yu Deshui's friend said that the old woman left some words before she left and she would find them again.
The old woman would go to so much trouble to rob the guy on the road just for the small part that was taken away, so it stands to reason that she would not give up the other large part.
Nine times out of ten it's not bluffing.
But he had been guarding here for three consecutive nights, and still the old woman had not appeared.
He was thinking that if he didn't show up tonight, he would have to think of another way. It was not a solution to keep dragging it on like this.
Suddenly his eyes froze.
He saw the cowhide bag on the shore begin to move.
There are constantly bulges appearing, densely packed together.
Looking at the shape, it was as if the fingers, toes and other things inside had come alive and were trying to get out one by one.
The bag opening that was originally tied tightly was slowly stretched loose.
Something crawled out with a rustling sound.
“Suck~!!”
Yu Deshui and others who were peeking in the cabin gasped and let out a suppressed exclamation.
It turned out that what crawled out of the bag was a strange-looking "worm".
This "bug" is made up of fingers and toes glued together, like a centipede with a hundred legs.
His body was covered with teeth and ears, densely packed together, and strands of hair were dragging on the ground.
A bag of spare parts turned into a giant "centipede" about three or four feet long.
Just one look at it makes one's hair stand on end and one's whole body goes numb.
The fingers and toes moved quickly on the ground like insect legs.
Climb towards the river.
finally come!
Jiang Zhou said inwardly, stood up from the bow, holding the demon-slaying sword, and jumped onto the shore.
This was his only bait to lure out the old woman. How could Jiang Zhou let these things go?
Five smoke net!
With a thought, a wisp of five-colored smoke emerged from his nostrils and turned into a veil-like shape, directly wrapping up the spliced "centipede".
The Five Smoke Net blocked all things. After being wrapped up, the "centipede" seemed to have lost some kind of power. It immediately scattered to the ground and turned back into parts.
Done!
This Wuyanluo can indeed be used not only to save lives.
Jiang Zhou was secretly happy.
"ah!"
Just then, a terrified cry came from behind.
It’s Yu Deshui!
Then there was a "splash" sound of someone falling into the water.
Jiang Zhou looked back and saw Yu Deshui already struggling in the river, and several of his men were frantically trying to rescue him.
Jiang Zhou ran over quickly.
Several men were pulling him towards the boat by holding one of his hands, and half of his body was already on board.
One of his feet was still stuck in the water and he couldn't get it out no matter how hard he struggled.
It seemed as if something under the water was pulling at his feet.
Jiang Zhou used all his eyesight to see a dry claw grabbing Yu Deshui's heel under the dark water.
Relying on the protection of Wuyanluo, he jumped directly into the water.
He picked up the demon-slaying sword and chopped it down.
"puff!"
Jiang Zhou felt that the ghost-head knife cut through the water surface and hit something, like a piece of rotten leather.
With almost no effort, a dry claw floated on the water.
There were ripples in the water, and Jiang Zhou saw a human face swaying in them.
His face was as dry and wrinkled as an old dove, and his dark eyes were open, revealing pain and resentment.
Jiang Zhou did not hesitate and swung the ghost-head knife again.
“Puff!”
With the same touch, the ghost-head knife cut into something and blood spurted out from the knife.
There was a scream, and after a few gurgling sounds from underwater, a body floated up.
She looked like a skinny old woman.
He has an ugly appearance and skin like that of an old dove.
The true spirit flew out and immersed itself in the unfolding atlas of ghosts and gods.
