Chapter 546 White Pig
Mr. Tang, Madam Xi, Mr. Ma, Zhu Ren, Shopkeeper Wang, and a black donkey that was suspected to be the test subject.

Gao Ming hid in the house and memorized the names of several people he knew. This village was very scary and there was probably no good person there.

The black donkey was still turning the mill happily. Gao Ming found a cloth bag, put the sheepskin in it and put it on his back, and then "picked up" a copper coin from the wooden box under the bed.

When he arrived at the front hall, the wooden door was closed tightly and Gao Ming saw the words "butcher shop".

However, the signboard had been smashed and broken wood was thrown behind the counter. The place had already been looted. Gao Ming searched through all the drawers and finally found a rusty butcher knife under the overturned table.

The sharp knife smelled bad, and there was a word "Zhu" engraved crookedly on the handle.

"The butcher shop is owned by Shopkeeper Wang. The information left by the tester said that the butcher in the town seems to be named Zhu Ren. Was this butcher knife left by Butcher Zhu?" Gao Ming glanced at the front hall. "The butcher shop was smashed, and Hei Lu was sharpening the old man who looked like Shopkeeper Wang. Was this the tester's revenge? Or did Butcher Zhu Ren and Shopkeeper Wang have a conflict?"

"If it was a revenge by the testers, it means that the testers in the village are not weak and have their own power. But seeing that the black donkey was pulling the millstone honestly and didn't dare to escape or find a way to leave, I am more inclined to believe that it was other villagers who smashed the butcher shop."

The big houses in the villages and towns kept their doors unlocked at night, but the small and dilapidated houses were dead silent, with the owners daring not to make any noise. It seemed that the villagers here were not united, and some of them were also afraid.

Gao Ming hid the butcher knife and sheepskin in the cloth bag and adjusted the position of the handle to make it easier for him to pull it out quickly.

"That yellow-skinned man was collecting money outside the village. It's obvious that he doesn't dare to come in. Next time I see him, I will put a knife to his neck and snatch the money from him."

Although thinking of a "wild plan" in his mind, Gao Ming was very careful in his actions. He vaguely heard some noise outside the front hall and immediately hid in the dark.

The door of the butcher shop was pushed open, and a shadow covered the overturned tables, chairs and benches. The wind in the house seemed to have stopped in fear.

Gao Ming didn't lean over to look, but he smelled a smell of blood that was so strong that it was frightening.

"Oh!"

The table was kicked away roughly. The other party seemed to be looking for something. It moved slowly in the front hall, then lifted the curtain and entered the backyard.

Without any hesitation, Gao Ming immediately ran out of the butcher shop, not daring to stop for a moment.

"That guy is looking for something in the butcher shop. Could he be Zhu the Butcher? Is he looking for his knife?"

Stepping on paper money in the mud, Gao Ming walked a few steps and saw another dilapidated house next to the butcher shop. Compared with the butcher shop, it looked shabby, let alone the big house on the main street of the town.

His nostrils twitched as Gao Ming smelled a pungent smell of blood in the room, very similar to the smell of the monster just now. He could also vaguely hear the squealing of pigs and the crying of people.

"Yes, the crying sound and the pig squealing came from the same place. The crying sound was a little familiar. It was very similar to the voice of a test subject before entering the nightmare!"

Stopping in front of the dilapidated house, Gao Ming looked up and saw a big red couplet pasted on the door frame, the words on it were no longer clear.

The first couplet was written in a flamboyant style, "A career that shook the world", and the second couplet was full of domineering words, "The Yin and Yang families were destroyed". Such couplets were posted on both sides of the rotten wooden door covered with blood stains, which gave me an indescribable strange feeling. Gently pushing the wooden door, the owner of the house seemed to be not afraid of anything. There was no lock on the door at all, and he was not worried that someone would dare to enter his house.

The stone bricks were sunk into the blood mud, the walls were covered with black cloth, there were no windows, and only two grooves dug in the corners to drain the blood.

In the middle of the yard, there were wooden racks for gutting animals, tables for slaughtering animals, and stoves for plucking hair. These tools for slaughtering animals had been used for a long time and were covered with thick mud.

Looking further inside, there is a row of short and thick rods, with a big, white and fat pig tied to it.

In the wooden barrel next to the fat pig, there were pig stiffeners and scrapers for scraping hair.

The pig's hands and feet were bound, and Gao Ming could see that it was actually trembling.

Behind the white pig's butt, where the pig cannot see, various props are neatly arranged. There are machetes used to remove the pig's head, hooves and chop the pig, as well as a small carving knife, which is light and pointed and can be used to cut meat and remove bones. The only thing missing is a slashing knife for killing pigs, also called a stabbing knife.

When slaughtering a pig, it is taboo to kill it a second time. Although pigs are "vegetables", they deserve the pain of one cut, and the butcher must kill them with one cut. If one more cut is made, the pig will suffer more, and the pig killer will be considered "committing a sin", so the chisel used to slaughter pigs is the sharpest and has the heaviest murderous aura.

Sensing someone coming, the pig shook even more violently. Gao Ming was also worried that the other party would react with stress, so he slowly moved in front of the white pig.

Eyes that were obviously different from those of the pig were staring at Gao Ming, tears and hope welled up in the depths of the eyes. The pig wanted to open its mouth, but its mouth was sealed with cloth, so it could only hum.

"Keep your voice down, I'll save you." Gao Ming used the butcher's boning knife to cut open the cloth on the pig's mouth. He found dense needles and threads hidden in the corners of the pig's mouth. He picked out the needles and threads little by little, and deep in the white pig's throat, he saw a man's face.

This strange scene made Gao Ming stop what he was doing, and his face was full of bitterness.

"I remember you. In the room where the shrine was stored, you said you saw a squirming Tai Sui in the shrine." Gao Ming lowered his voice and said, "The butcher will be back soon. How can I save you?"

"Everything in the nightmare is an image. You have to find the corresponding thing to break it. This village and the people in the town represent something, either the embodiment of emotions, or the curse of disasters, or the alienated testers. Ordinary means cannot kill them. You must see through their true selves to destroy them." The human face in the pig's throat spoke quickly: "The thirteen transformation methods of Yongsheng Pharmaceutical are in the village. I helped my teammates build a spiritual temple. When I went out to look for foreign materials, I was robbed here by a butcher. Can you help me notify him?"

The man in the white pig's body does not believe in high destiny. In his deep nightmare, even his closest family members will betray him, let alone a passerby.

"Can you hold out until then?"

"The trough must be emptied before slaughtering the pig, which means not feeding the pig the day before. I still have one night." The man was reasonable: "My friend is Fei Gong, who lives behind a land temple on the west street of the town. Give this to him and he will understand everything."

The man spat out a mud ball sealed with wax from his mouth, and Gao Ming didn't know what was inside.

"Don't open it on the road. This thing is useful for spiritual observation, but it is very harmful to living people." The face of the person in the white pig seemed tired: "If you successfully deliver it, my teammates and I will do our best to help you get the transformation method you want and help you escape the nightmare."
