Yin Yang Lantern Man

Chapter 48: Human or ghost?

He pulled Wangcai, who was unwilling to move, into the farmhouse and came to the rotating waterwheel.

The waterwheel gradually stopped moving, and the gurgling sound slowly disappeared.

Danger is usually not obvious. Chen Ningan realized that this might just be a strange phenomenon in this light world.

"Ning An, let's go."

Wang Youcai pulled at his clothes, but Chen Ningan took him to the farmhouse.

"hiss……"

He first gasped, then exhaled in amazement.

"Ning An, don't tell me that these few times of holding the lantern have made you evolve!"

The Chen Ningan he knew was not so reckless. He could succeed every time without taking revenge overnight, and most of the time he had to rely on his brothers' brains.

Since Chen Ning'an dared to push the door open, he obviously had the confidence.

The person in front curled his lips. Who wouldn’t like to show off in front of others?

He pushed open the door of the farmhouse and what came into view was the dilapidated main room. At the end of the living room, a statue was scratched on the wall.

A statue of an octopus monster with incomprehensible words on it.

The characters do not belong to the New Qin.

Chen Ning'an walked forward and took a closer look, but saw that the face of the statue had been smoothed out and the octopus monster had no specific appearance.

He put the statue away. There was nothing else in the room, so Chen Ning'an thought he could probably sell it for a few thousand New Qin coins.

"Let's go to the next one."

With Wang Youcai's help, he can take more things and it will not affect his own activities.

"Ning An, you...you treat me like a coolie!"

They visited more than a dozen farmhouses and found four statues.

One was faceless, two were armless, and one was broken into several pieces that they had collected from the ground.

"Ning An, I don't think anyone will buy this."

Wang Youcai shook the weight in his arms, which must have weighed at least forty or fifty kilograms.

"Not always."

Chen Ningan turned around and said, "Let's go. There's nothing in this room."

He went to push the door, then paused suddenly.

"rather……

Wang Youcai said one word and then immediately stopped talking because he heard a noise outside the house.

It seemed like the sound of footsteps, but definitely not human, because the sound was wrong, it sounded like a dog's, and much heavier.

The sound stopped outside the door, and was very close to them.

Wang Youcai tugged at Chen Ning'an's clothes, feeling nervous, not knowing whether to run away or not.

Chen Ning'an told him the answer - through practical action.

He stretched out his hand and punched through the door, grabbing the things outside the door in his hand.

"Who gave you the confidence to ambush me outside the door?"

The door panels were broken into pieces and a monster powered by human power was struggling frantically. By chance, Chen Ning'an grabbed its neck.

This monster is the size of an adult kangaroo and similar to a mouse, but has four legs and two claws.

At this time, it kept screaming, and Chen Ningan was stuck tightly, which gave Wang Youcai a great shock.

"Fuck, fuck, fuck, Ning An you are awesome!"

He couldn't think of any more words, his mind was full of Chen Ning'an who was showing his might at this moment.

Chen Ningan exerted force with his arms and broke the creature's neck, but it was still struggling. Its head drooped and its four legs and claws kept waving.

Chen Ning'an frowned, this was not a normal creature, and he broke its limbs and spine with his backhand.

He slashed the monster's neck with the cold sword and began to collect blood.

Not much.

Chen Ning'an frowned. He originally thought that blood would spurt out, but he didn't expect that after a long time there would only be a few drops.

It was not as much as the bone marrow of the previous white-bone monster. Strangely enough, once the blood flowed out, the monster would rot and become fragile after death. Its fur would rot if it was pulled, and it could not have any other use at all.

"Walk."

Chen Ning'an continued to move forward, and along the way, Wang Youcai became even more talkative.

"Ning An, have you awakened your superpowers?"

"Ning An, how did you awaken? Teach me!"

"Ning An, what did it feel like when you punched through the door? Did it hurt?"

"Ning An... Ning An... Ning An...

Chen Ning'an's ears were callused from hearing so many questions, but fortunately, after walking a distance, Wang Youcai's attention was distracted.

There was a group of four people holding lanterns in front. As soon as Wang Youcai stopped talking, he identified them carefully and shouted as soon as he saw that they were getting closer.

"It's them! It's them! Ning An, they are the ones who bullied me and stole my wind bag flower!"

As he said this, he was about to go up and take revenge: "Humph, even if I can't beat you guys to death, I will beat you guys to death!"

"Wait, don't be impulsive."

Chen Ningan stopped him: "Look carefully, their current state is not normal."

After this reminder, Wang Youcai, who was blinded by anger, reacted.

"Hey, it seems to be true. Who would stand still with a lantern in hand?"

There were only dead people standing in front of us with nothing around them. They were facing each other, holding lanterns to illuminate the center.

Going east requires caution.

Chen Ning'an sensed from their aura that they were all old men at the pioneering level. The more he looked, the more he could see fear on their faces.

These people didn't even dare to move their eyes.

"Something's wrong, Ning An, let's...

Before Wang Youcai finished speaking, he saw Chen Ning'an grab a stone weighing dozens of kilograms from the ground and smash it at the four motionless people.

"Ouch."

The aim wasn't accurate enough and it just hit one person's foot, but the effect was achieved.

He screamed, causing the four people's hearts to leap and be covered in dust.

"Hiss, it's over!"

Zhou Youshu, who was in the lead, broke out in a cold sweat.

Under the light of their lanterns, in the center, an intact clay sculpture spoke to Xie Fang who had called out, "Girl, do you think I look like a human... or a ghost?"

Like a human or a ghost?

Xie Fang didn't dare to answer. The severe pain in her foot was turning into numbness. Oh no, her leg might be broken.

She stood on one leg to maintain her balance and looked at the captain for help.

Zhou Youshu didn't dare to give any answer or express any opinion. Anyone who moved would be questioned.

And the person being asked...was just a short distance away from them, and he turned into a mummy while walking!
"Girl, do I look like a human... or a ghost?"

The sculpture asked again, with a sinister smile.

Xie Fang couldn't stop trembling. She was afraid that if he was asked three times, she would die even if she didn't answer.

The previous one was a passerby, and his answer was "What was God?"

It seems like... a ghost?
Then she could only answer the opposite question.

“You…you are a human!”

"It's a human? It's a human!"

As the statue spoke, it gradually grew larger and turned into a gigantic face.

The giant face looked exactly like Xie Fang. It opened its big mouth and slowly put the frightened girl into its mouth. It chewed her up slowly and carefully, bite by bite.

There was a scream when he took the first bite, but the rest was just the sound of bones breaking and rubbing against each other.

On Xie Fang's huge face, his eyelids were wide open, his eyes were wagging around and lifeless, and he slowly turned to the remaining three people. Whoever moved would die!
