Chapter 37: CH 29.2

Before his ass could touch the chair, Wu Laoliu jumped up again. Knowing that III-9 was rummaging through his room, he quickly cursed viciously and went through his room again——Great, the treasures he had hidden in the earthen pot under the floor, under the bed, behind the shelf, between the walls, and in the sheets were still there.

“Hmph, how dare that little bunny challenge this old eagle?”

Wu Laoliu was relieved. He snorted proudly and coldly, took a puff of the hookah in his mouth and smoked. Yes, III-9 took away several maggots from him, but he didn’t care about that.

If III-9 thought he could find out Wu Laoliu’s memories and past from his maggots, III-9 was thinking too much. 

Wu Laoliu sneered and spit out some smoke. What he was most proud of was that each maggot in his body was a separate individual, and his consciousness could be transferred in the maggots. Even if he had lost his battle and Pingping had killed him, the maggots left in the stilted building would have revived him again.

Not to mention, III-9 merely took away four maggots. Even if he had taken 40 or 400, it wouldn’t have had much impact on him. As long as his subjects didn’t have a consciousness, the others couldn’t obtain any information from the maggots.

The little tour guide who the master had an eye on……was nothing more than this.

Wu Laoliu thought contentedly and angrily buried his fingers into his ears. Perhaps he was feeling uneasy because there were too few maggots in his body.

“The little boy is blessed with good fortune.”

Wu Laoliu’s eyes shone with a dark and malicious glow. Even if he had fallen into such a pitiful situation and had lost his previous memories and name, Wu Laoliu was still a crazy and suspicious gambler. He would never base his entire life on the master’s hollow promise to allow him to “reclaim his name.” He’d never put in the effort to guard III-9 and be a dog for him——bah.

III-9 would never realize that every maggot was a clone of him. If III-9 kept Wu Laoliu’s maggots with him, Wu Laoliu could use the opportunity to catch him off guard and manipulate the maggots to drill into his body, thereby converting III-9 into his puppet—— Anyway, the boy was going to go insane and turn into a monster. If III-9 transformtransformed into a monster, Wu Laoliu would be able to use the situation to gain control of his body. Even the master wouldn’t be able to figure it out by then.

It was just a pity that when the four maggots were taken away, he was fighting that crazy woman, the spiteful ghost Pingping. When he came back, he had lost contact with them——he had been afraid the maggots had been killed by III-9. 

Snap, snap.

Wu Laoliu moved his neck. His motions were excruciatingly rigid, like a machine without oil. His body shook and his knees trembled as he got up. He was almost unable to maintain his balance.

He had no choice but to act in this manner. Half of the maggots in his body had perished and could not be controlled. Wu Laoliu’s power over his human skin weakened when the dead maggots were squashed between the live maggots. These dead maggots, however, were also important sources of energy. In his present situation, he couldn’t afford to squander anything.

Originally, Wu Laoliu should have had a good “sleep” to let the live maggots absorb the energy of the dead maggots, but now he had no time to rest. 

“Ring——ring——”

At first, he merely felt his heart chill as he heard the ethereal sound of the bell ringing. After listening to the sound attentively, one would fall into a trance and their soul would be called away. The sound of the bell didn’t come only from one direction. The sound of the bell cane from all directions, from far to near, and eventually reached the entrance of Baby Bamboo Miao Village.

“Ring, ring——ring, ring——”

“It’s hard to even take a break.” 

Wu Laoliu cursed. He was enraged tonight. He hit the door hard and banged it open loudly, halting the ringing of the bell momentarily. Wu Laoliu walked out of the door with a long-stemmed tobacco pipe in his mouth, and his black eyes stared at the four thin shadows standing at the door of the village.

The “wizards” who were here to evict the ghosts from the pregnant women had arrived.

“Ring, ring——ring, ring——”

These things wouldn’t be easy to deal with. 

Zhao Hongtu returned to the side of the table. The wooden table was a part of the furniture provided along with the room. It had been simply arranged as an “altar”, on which there was a clay porcelain bowl with a liter of rice and a braised egg on top——there were no eggs in Miao Village, so they could only replace them with the braised eggs brought by Yu Hean. Next to the rice bowl was a red packet with coins, and next to it were several pieces of beef jerky contributed by Wang Pengpai.

The meat that could be found in the kitchen was mostly moldy and rotten. That meat couldn’t be consumed. Therefore, Wang Pengpai and Xu Chen went to take a look at the animals raised below the stilted building by Wu Laoliu.The animals, however, had all died and were strongly afflicted with Yin energy.It was better not to use such meat. Finally, they could only replace the knife cut meat with beef jerky.

On the far right of the wooden table was an earthen jar full of water from the stream.

All the things requested in the wizard’s invitation card had been prepared in just a few hours. Yu Hean once uneasily proposed that it might be better for the four of them to stay together, but this was rejected by Zhao Hongtu. 

“Every room has a nursery room. Obviously, everyone should complete this task individually.”

Zhao Hongtu said coldly, “Life and death are predestined, but poverty and wealth are heaven's arrangement.”

Life and death are predestined, but poverty and wealth are heaven’s arrangement.

Zhao Hongtu silently chanted, thinking of Hou Feihu, whose life or death was unknown. A cold expression was on his face. 

After he surviving through these obstacles, they would meet again at the Beating Three Dynasties Banquet.

Bang.

His stomach suddenly moved, which meant that the baby inside it was moving. Zhao Hongtu was disgusted. He thought of how people were parasitized in the movies. Enduring the nausea, he reluctantly touched his stomach.

[The baby’s affinity to you + 1 (4/10)] 

The maximum number of affinity points was 10. The affinity was increased by one point because they had a bamboo basket. When Zhao Hongtu was preparing the offerings, he had gained two more points. And now he had one more point added to his total. The affinity grew very quickly, and the baby appeared to be quite simple to please.

And when the affinity reached its peak, the baby would “help” them. When Zhao Hongtu went to the stream to scoop water, he somehow slipped and almost fell into the water. Fortunately, his stomach prevented him from falling into the stream, so he didn’t really fall.

Knock.

There was a reason why the baby was moving. In the next second, he heard a thump, and the door was knocked down. 

“Pregnant woman——”

A shrill, ominous voice, sounding as unusual as the noises of a swarm of monsters and ghosts and as bizarre as a man whose throat had been pinched, came from the outside of the door:

“Open the door——”

. 

“Pregnant woman——”

“Open the door——”

[The ghost baby’s affinity to you – 1 (3/10)]

Hou Feihu, who was telling a story to the ghost baby in a low voice, immediately lost the ghost baby’s favor. This little thing was very difficult to please, and it was very difficult to increase its affinity. If you make the ghost baby slightly dissatisfied, you would lose favor. 

Based on Miao Fangfei’s analysis and suggestion, they all agreed that they should maintain a high value of affinity. Unfortunately, it was too difficult to achieve.

It was four o’clock in the morning. The wizards who had come to evict the ghosts from the pregnant women had arrived at the door. Hou Feihu felt the gloomy chill emitting from the door. He moved very gently, quietly pulled down the bed curtain, and piled the bedding on the bed to give someone the illusion that there was someone resting on the bed. But he himself hid in a wooden cabinet.

The wooden cabinet had not been repaired for a long time and two holes were present on the cabinet door, one on the left and one on the right. The left hole was facing the altar and the right hole was facing the door.

The items were also similarly arranged on the altar here, but the items were different from those listed in the wizard’s invitation card. Originally, they were prepared according to the invitation card, but at 3:30 in the morning, Miao Fangfei hurriedly found them with a grim look——the ghost had possessed her again and had revealed some shocking information. 

“The purpose of drawing a peach-wood talisman is to expel evil ghosts. The main purpose is to hide the pregnant women from the ghost, to allow the evil ghosts to not be able to find them.”

Miao Fangfei whispered hurriedly, “But we are pregnant with a ghost fetus!”

When Hou Feihu and company heard this, they broke out in a cold sweat. Many inexperienced tourists were unsure of what they should do and were constantly under the impression that they had to act in accordance with the attraction’s instructions. People who have been on several tours, on the other hand, have learned that they must be adaptable.

Because they had to play the role of “pregnant women,” and because this was an experience attraction, they had to meet two prerequisites in order to be considered to have finished the attraction. If they truly erected the altar according to the invitation card, the wizard would conceal the “pregnant woman” and keep the evil ghost at bay.  Without mentioning that any affinity points the ghost baby had for them would be lost——they must first realize that the ghost baby was the primary focus of the third assignment assigned to them. 

So, within a short time, they rearranged the altar in their rooms——the bowl filled with rice was turned upside down, and the braised eggs (provided by Lin Xi) were hidden in the bottom of the bowl. The red packet contained a pair of Jiangshi’s eyes. The meat beside it looked as ruddy and beautiful as ham, but it was actually cut Jiangshi meat (the reward Hou Feihu received in the last attraction) and the earth jar on the far right contained Spotty’s venom (Miao Fangfei gave each of them a small bottle).

All tributes that had the aura of the living were either replaced by inanimate things or things that were reversed, in order to counter the attraction.

No one knew what the wizard would do to the “pregnant woman”, so Hou Feihu and everyone else hid. Hou Feihu hid in the cabinet.

The doors of the cabinet lead to the gates of hell. If one hides in the cabinet and holds one’s breath, one’s air of the living would not be revealed. 

“Pregnant woman——”

“Open the door——”

There was another sharp call. Hou Feihu, who was hiding in the wardrobe, held his breath and peeped at the door through the hole in the cabinet. The lock was removed from the wooden door a long time ago, so he used several boxes to block the door. It was difficult for people outside to push it open even if they wanted to come in.

But soon, Hou Feihu’s pupils shrank suddenly. He saw wisps of dark fog seeping in from the crack of the door and the pile of sundries. The fog seemed to be coated with a layer of oil. It was dirty and greasy, and the air was filled with the smell of incense ash. 

More black fog seeped into the door and formed a thin shadow. The shadow seemed to have no bones and twisted and crawled on the ground. Hou Feihu could not see anything from this angle. He could only infer from the rustling sound that the shadow seemed to have climbed onto the table.

“Haha——Sob, sob——”

The shrill sound of ghosts crying suddenly sounded, it sounded like they were crying and laughing. Anger and malice surged in Hou Feihu’s heart. Hou Feihu felt that the “wizard” had gone crazy, and the greasy ashes grew more and more abundant. Hou Feihu took advantage of this time to lightly take a few breaths.

After a long time, the rustling sound began to wander around the room. The “wizard” was unwilling to give up. It was looking for the pregnant woman and looking for the evil ghost. Hou Feihu covered his stomach with his hands. The back of his hands was full of grayish-brown blood. This was the second reward Hou Feihu received in his last attraction. 

[Name: Blood of High-rank Jiangshi]

[Quality: Special]

[Function: The blood of a Jiangshi can completely cover up the air of a human, and even the spiteful ghosts can not sense your existence]

[Note: What? You say Jiangshis don’t have blood? Then why would Jiangshi movies be so bloody?] 

The ghost baby was afraid. The ghost baby, who used to have a bad temper and loved to move, was now as quiet as a chick. Hou Feihu sensed the ghost baby’s mood for the first time——it was afraid of the “wizard” outside.

The rustling sound finally stopped in front of the cabinet door, and the choking scent of incense ash smacked to his face, making him dizzy. Hou Feihu closed his eyes and closed his eyes to welcome the darkness——human eyes were the windows to their souls. When he closed his eyes, hid in the cabinet and had Jiangshi blood smeared on him, the wizard outside could not find him.

Outside the cabinet, there was only complete silence.

. 

“A fierce God——”

The wizard was wrapped in a robe, tall and thin, appearing unlike a human. His voice was sharp. Yu Hean sat down beside the bed and didn’t dare to look at him. From the corner of his eye, he looked at the wizard’s slender fingers holding a note and chanting words. With a wave of his fingers, the note lit up automatically.

The note had the “pregnant woman’s” astrological birth data written on it. When the wizard was writing, Yu Hean boldly looked at the note. The astrological birth data were not his. It was estimated that they were of the real “mother” of the baby in his belly.

The wizard lit the note with the astrological birth data of the pregnant woman’s birthday. After burning, the ash was thrown into the jar filled with water. The mouth of the jar was sealed with red talisman paper and buckled on the altar. This was called “brewing the sea”. This meant that the pregnant woman would be hidden in the sea, and the evil ghost could not find her ever again. 

The people in Yu Hean’s hometown were renowned for being mediums, and they did something similar to bless the pregnant women in their hometown as well. What made him uneasy was the wizard’s eyes——when he came close to look at the astrological birth data of the birthday just now, Yu Hean heard a “gulp” in the wizard’s throat.

When “brewing the sea” was carried out, Yu Hean’s fetus moved. Yu Hean heard the wizard’s “gulping” sound again. The sound was louder than the previous “gulp” sound.

He braced himself to look at the wizard, but he discovered that the wizard was also looking at him. His slender fox-like eyes twinkled, glimmering as if he was salivating over Yu Hean, like a fox spirit seeing a fat hen.

“Gulp.” 

This time, the sound of the wizard swallowing his saliva was particularly clear.

“Pregnant woman——”

The wizard’s voice was shrill, sharp and strange. His eyes were staring at Yu Hean’s stomach. A dripping sound was heard. His saliva flowed out, moistening the front of his robe. His silk robe was dragging on the ground.

“I require the blood from the baby’s heart to brew the seas——” 

While talking, the cold light under the sleeve of the wizard’s robe flashed. What he held in his hand was a knife used to slaughter pigs. The sharp tip of the knife stabbed towards Yu Hean’s heart. It was untrue that the wizard wanted blood from the baby’s heart, but it was true that all monsters coveted people’s hearts and livers!

But at the next moment, the wizard became frantic and screamed, “Where are you——where are you——?”

It turned out that when the wizard was swallowing his saliva, the cautious Yu Hean took out the old yellow cowhide and put it on immediately when the wizard rushed over!

“Pregnant woman——where are you——pregnant woman——where are you——” 

The wizard had lost his target and was jabbing his knife everywhere like a lunatic. Under the weak yellow light, Yu Hean noticed that the wizard had no shadow! The wizard looked everywhere in the room, but he couldn’t find anything. The wizard grew very worried when he couldn’t find Yu Hean. His limbs spread on the ground and his body contorted, crawling and sniffing everything. His voice rumbled with a beast-like howl. This position made him appear less like a human and more like a large fox!

Yu Hean shrank into the innermost part of the bed, wrapping himself tightly in cowhide, and did not dare to move. He allowed the “wizard” to become crazier and crazier, and more and more anxious. The “wizard” emitted a wail, sounding like a lament. It was as if he was enraged.

Just hold on until five o’clock——the ceremony would be over at five o’clock!
