After the sword bone was taken away, the reborn elder sister went crazy killing
Chapter 21 Who is the Monster?
A man's voice was heard from the room. It sounded very gentle, but when a cultivator heard it, he knew that the man was short of energy. He was either sick or dying.
"I'm just passing by asking for water." The old lady's attitude in replying to her son was not very kind. "You should have a good rest first. You don't need to worry about the things at home."
"Ahem, okay."
With just this one cough, Pei Zhiyi almost thought that the man was going to die.
"Is there anyone else in the old woman's house? Is it your son?" Pei Zhiyi asked pretending to know nothing.
The old lady poured the water more often, and a smile appeared on her pale face when she mentioned her son, but she quickly hid the smile.
"It's my disappointing son. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, young lady."
"will not."
Pei Zhiyi took the glass of water handed to him by the old lady with both hands. The water was very clear, so clear that Pei Zhiyi could hardly see the debris and dust in it.
Pei Zhiyi didn't drink right away. Instead, he started chatting about the layout of the room: "Is there going to be a wedding in the old lady's family soon? The room is decorated with lights and colorful decorations, just like a bride is getting married."
"Snapped!"
I don’t know which word was wrong, but the old woman’s expression suddenly became ferocious, and the kettle in her hand was smashed to the ground and broke into several pieces.
"You don't have to worry about that, young lady."
Pei Zhiyi pretended not to know, and played the role of a naive young lady. "Or is this just a small town custom? From the outside, it looks like someone has passed away, but inside, it's all festive and joyful. This is the first time I've seen such an extreme scene."
"I said it's none of your business, but do you have to care?"
The old lady stood up straighter, and only the sound of bones creaking could be heard.
"I will come here. You should know why I come from the first moment you see me when you open the door." Pei Zhiyi put the cup still full of water back on the table and glanced meaningfully in the direction of the room where the man's voice had just come from.
"That's strange. I didn't make much of a move when I first came in, but your son was clearly aware of the visitor. But when you dropped the kettle just now, it made such a loud noise, and he didn't seem to notice. What did that mean?"
The old lady looked more and more panicked, and picked up the broom in the corner to drive Pei Zhiyi away.
"What's this got to do with you? Get out of here!"
Pei Zhiyi casually cast a spell to immobilize the old lady's body and spoke to her in a voice that only she could hear: "Since you have asked the academy for help, and I am here, then I will naturally help you deal with matters such as wronged spirits and ghosts."
"Bullshit! There's no such thing in my family!"
The old lady's behavior seemed fierce, but Pei Zhiyi could feel that she was eager to drive him away... probably to protect herself.
However, if she really left like this, who knows what terrible things would happen here.
"Old lady, I haven't seen your family in a while. Why don't you introduce your husband and son to me?"
The old lady shook her head frantically. She had hinted so clearly, was this woman stupid?
"Old woman, what's the matter with you? Why didn't you tell me that a guest was coming?"
Before I saw the person, I heard a very old voice.
This must be the old woman's husband.
An old man came out of another room, hunched over. His clothes were tattered and he exuded a strong stench, as if he had just walked out of a mass grave. He was leaning on a cane with a human skull on top.
"Don't be afraid, little girl. I'm the coroner in this town. I've been dealing with the dead all my life, so I carry a bit of their scent on me."
Pei Zhiyi held his breath, his expression expressionless. "The job of a coroner is to carry out the destiny of the dead, and it is the most respectable."
The old man seemed to have heard such an evaluation for the first time. A gleam of light flashed in his turbid eyes. He came to Pei Zhiyi with a speed that was not suitable for his age, and directly put the skull on the crutch in front of Pei Zhiyi.
"This is a real human-shaped skull, aren't you afraid?"
Pei Zhiyi looked into the skull's hollow eyes for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter, his tone becoming sinister. "To be honest, I've crushed quite a few skulls before, and the feeling was quite good, especially the sound of them being crushed, which was crisp and pleasant."
"Grandpa, I think your skull is in pretty good condition. Look," Pei Zhiyi pointed to the side of the skull. "You see, the flesh here hasn't been shaved clean. You're too careless. This will easily attract corpse worms."
The old man couldn't think of any words to respond for a moment: "..."
Pei Zhiyi very considerately picked up the undrunk glass of water on the table and poured it over the skull from head to toe. The cold water finally fell on the back of the old man's hand.
"It's much cleaner this way. Do you like it?"
The old lady, who had been frightened for Pei Zhiyi the entire time, finally sighed and quickly spoke to the rescue: "Old man, why are you saying such scary things? What real skull? I think you've been crazy after the autopsy yesterday. This girl is just passing by and asked for a glass of water, please don't scare her."
"It's my fault, it's my fault."
The old man suddenly laughed, and his wrinkled face looked even scarier than if he hadn't laughed at all.
"Girl, you've come from out of town, and you've had the good fortune to ask for water at my doorstep. Why don't you stay and have a meal?"
"Okay."
"no!"
The old lady refused outright, "Where is her food supply at home?"
The old man didn't care. "My son can't eat much anyway. Why not just give him his portion? How much can a little girl eat?"
"Yes, I have a small appetite and can't eat much." Pei Zhiyi smiled very considerately, "Then I'm sorry to bother you two."
"Don't bother, don't bother."
The old man was very happy. "It's a rare occasion for guests to come. I will cook for them myself today."
"Eh"
The old lady wanted to stop the old man, but the old man used the same ghostly speed to go to the kitchen, and the old lady couldn't catch him at all.
"Whatever you want to do, don't eat what's served to you later. And leave immediately after the meal is over. Don't stay any longer."
Pei Zhiyi smiled and said okay, but how could he really leave?
This mission is becoming more and more interesting. Not only the family of the mission owner, but also the entire town, exudes an unusual atmosphere.
It seems that during the time when no one accepted the mission, earth-shaking changes have taken place here, and the situation is indeed more serious than she imagined.
