Pick up garbage in another world and bring it back to build infrastructure in the end times

Fish ghost? Sang Chu glanced at Tu You, but he also shook his head, indicating that he had never heard of this.

The old man continued, "The lama said that these fish-demons are monsters from the deep sea. They are neither fish nor fish, born from the resentment of the deep sea. They have only the appearance but no soul. Therefore, they need a lot of human energy to incubate their souls. And the place where the person who brought them out of the deep sea is, that is where their souls are nurtured."

"What then?"

The old man was silent for a long time before continuing, "In order to successfully take the fish away, the women and some sensible children in the village took advantage of the men's inattention and quietly worked to make the exorcism banners taught by the master. These banners require pure and virtuous young men to draw, so the children drew while everyone else sewed, hoping to finish them as quickly as possible."

The old man's expression became a little strange as he thought of something. He slowly said, "These banners aren't that difficult to make. At least we can make quite a few now. But the difficulty lies in the men's revelry every night. There are so many people guarding the mermaid's house. We have no choice but to drug the men to make them sleep."

The old woman's face became increasingly pale, and Sang Chu guessed that something bad might have happened, so this time he didn't urge her. He just looked at her, waiting for her emotions to calm down.

"We put a lot of medicine in, and watched them fall asleep one by one. But when we took the fish out, the men turned into monsters with fins. My wife was beaten to death trying to stop the crazy men, and I was completely blinded. Fortunately, the master arrived in time with the exorcism banner and saved everyone."

The old lady couldn't help trembling while she spoke. She must have been extremely scared when she heard just these few words.

Sang Chu: "Grandma, is that fish sealed in the bell tower?"

The old man nodded. "At that time, Murakami was planning to build a clock tower. It had just been built, and the cement wasn't even dry yet. The master said, 'Since that's the case, why not use that place to seal the fish monster?' Besides, there are so many people who have been poisoned by the fish. They have mutated and can't be saved."

Upon hearing this, Sang Chu's face changed drastically, which means there is more than one monster in that building!

"Grandma, then you..."

The old man said, "We have no choice but to put them all in. The master said that the effect of the exorcism banner is time-limited and needs to be reinforced every ten years. If there is a flaw, the seal will break. But there is no other way. The men in the village have all turned into monsters, and the children have grown up, married, had children and left. Where can we find young men to help us draw the exorcism banner?"

You can hear the despair in the old woman's mouth, but the timing doesn't match. The child she was talking about has grown up, but her grandson died at such a young age, so something must have happened in the meantime. However, the people here are probably all dead.

Is it because he can't let go that he keeps guarding this place?

Thinking of this, Sang Chu had a bold guess. Perhaps these exorcism banners were never hung up in the first place?

If this is the case, the so-called master who came to save them might have sealed the mermaid in some unknown way, but they still needed the help of the Exorcism Banner in the future. However, these women had no way to do it. They were even dead, but they were still guarding this place with their lives, trying every possible way to hang up the Exorcism Banner. However, it had been too long, so long that the world had changed drastically.

The former sea area has turned into fields, but they still guard this place.

When Sang Chu thought that his guess might be true, his heart couldn't help but ache: "Grandma, what happened next? Did you hang up the exorcism banner?"

The old man didn't know what he was thinking about. After a long silence, he slowly looked up at Sang Chu and said, "Little girl, can you help us?"

Sang Chu was stunned for a moment when he heard this. "Old man, to be honest, I'm here to handle this matter. It's just that many of the clues are fragmentary right now, and I don't know if I can do it. I can only say that I will try my best. However, I need you to tell me everything you know. Okay?"

"Well, what else do you want to know?"

Sang Chu hesitated for a long time before slowly speaking: "Old man, I want to examine your grandson's body."

"it is good."

The old woman's voice was low, and it was not difficult to hear how conflicted she was inside. However, in order to make this matter have a good ending, she was willing to let Sang Chu examine her grandson's body.

Following the old man to a small hill and looking around, Sang Chu became more certain of his guess.

The old man stroked a tree and spoke in a low, helpless voice, "We have a custom in our village. When a child dies, the child's clothes are planted at the doorstep along with a locust tree. This is to hope that the child will not get lost and will find his way home, so that he can be reborn into this family. Planting the locust tree also tells the child that his parents and grandparents are waiting for him to come home."

"But why is this tree planted on the mountain?"

The old man said: "I planted it on the mountain because I don't want him to find the way home. If he can't find the way home, he won't go back. My grandson is buried here, you can dig it."

"Then I..."

Before Sang Chu could finish her words, the old woman had disappeared, and the tree that was originally about the same height as her had grown into a towering tree.

Tuyou shivered in the night wind: "Achu, it's really weird here, what should we do?"

"Since it's already like this, let's dig. Maybe there will be some clues."

Tuyou's voice was trembling as he spoke: "Really, really, really digging, I don't know how long it has been, even if there is a body, it must have rotted away."

Sang Chu murmured, "Not necessarily."

She did it right away. She found a weapon suitable for digging from the space in the jade bracelet, squatted on the ground and started digging.

After digging about one meter, they saw a straw mat, which seemed to contain something. Tuyou didn't expect Sangchu to be so bold, so he ran directly behind Sangchu and buried the whole rabbit in her clothes, hoping that out of sight, out of mind.

Sang Chu ignored him and just used the long knife in his hand to lift the straw mat. Inside was not a child, but a fish bone!

This fish has a human face, a very short tail, about a few millimeters, large fins, and a little bit, all the bones in its body are broken.

"Achu, are you okay?"

"Little Rabbit, do you remember what the inspector said?"

"Wha, what?"

Sang Chu looked at the fish bones in front of him and analyzed, "The inspector said that every time there is a thunderstorm, children will disappear. Later, even adults will disappear."

Rabbit: "What does this have to do with it?"

Sang Chu: "The master that the old lady mentioned mentioned that this monster is a fish but not a fish. It is a monster that absorbs resentment and transforms into a form. It has a body but no soul. Do you think it looks like a reggae shark?"

Hearing this, Tuyou was horrified: "You mean the Yin Yang Mermaid? They're dead, dead, dead!!!"
