The sickly girl is killing her way through the weird world

The sickly girl is killing her way through the weird world

Author: s00mm

Introduction:

At the end of Daliang, there was famine, severe famine, cannibalism, demons and monsters rampant, and strange things were rampant.

Bai Qian, who traveled through time, can become stronger by killing demons. Apart from killing demons, her other hobby is writing a diary.

On February 16th, we went to a den of wolf demons and killed all sixteen of them, including their cubs. The harvest wasn't great, though.

On March 31st, we arrived at a town controlled by a Skin-Flayer. There were a total of 3,120 people in the town, all of whom had been manipulated into puppets by the Skin-Flayer. We liberated them all. Finally, we found the Skin-Flayer hiding in a corner of the town and chopped it off.

On December 8th, the Liang Dynasty emperor was seen. He was a horned python demon. He was skinned and boned in front of all the court officials. Not a single civil or military official stood up for the emperor. Sadly, what did the demon I had killed earlier say? They were disloyal to the emperor and deserved to be killed.

December 9th. Today is a beautiful day. Let's go out and seal off Liangdu. Regardless of whether they are good or bad, we will kill all 6,461 demons and 73 strange creatures.

Book 1: 1. The Rat and the Temple

The gloomy sky was tinged with ink, and raindrops were about to fall but had not yet, adding a somber atmosphere to the world.

The swaying sedan chair was uncomfortable, and the tightly closed curtains made the already stuffy air feel even more oppressive.

Bai Qian woke up in this atmosphere.

A hint of confusion lingered in his jet-black eyes.

Are you still alive?

Subconsciously, he groped around in the dim space, only managing to touch the slightly rough curtain inside the sedan chair.

The sedan chair was still swaying, and you could hear the creaking of the wood as it moved.

"Behave yourself. When we get to Master Rat's place, do whatever he tells you to do." The woman's shrill voice came from outside the sedan chair.

Perhaps it was these words that triggered a reaction in Bai Qian. She paused slightly, remembering what the woman outside the sedan chair had said.

Bai Qian remembered that she was on the verge of death in her hospital bed. After all, she had been suffering from a terminal illness for so long, and it was already a great effort for her to have lasted this long.

What happens next...

I closed my eyes and waited for death, and this is where I ended up.

A few fragments of memories surfaced in Bai Qian's mind, allowing her to know who the "Rat Master" mentioned outside was.

It could be said that she was the original body, or rather, the body Bai Qian was in at this time. She was an orphan, or rather, almost an orphan, because her parents sold her due to famine.

In times of famine, it was quite normal for people to exchange children for food; the original owner's parents sold him for two bags of rice.

After various unexpected events, they arrived at this remote town in the north of Liang Dynasty.

Currently, it seems that she is being acted as a guardian by a girl who is slightly older than her, who could be considered her god-sister.

The older sister took good care of the original owner, but unfortunately, the two of them had already been targeted, otherwise the original owner wouldn't have been inexplicably locked in this sedan chair.

The original owner didn't know much about the Third Master Rat, only that he was a rat demon, and didn't know much else.

As for the matter of monsters and such... in the Liang Kingdom at this time, it was not a rare thing. There were even rumors that the emperor of Liang Kingdom had been replaced by a demon, but no one knew whether it was true or not.

"This girl is strange. I heard from Zhang Wu and the others that they gave her a sleeping potion that made her sleep for three days and three nights, but she woke up right away."

"Those hooligans probably didn't use much medicine to save money," a deep male voice came from inside the sedan chair.

"They've been eyeing this girl's sister for a long time. I bet they want to use this to blackmail her. Even though this girl's sister is covered in charcoal every day, her features are still quite delicate." The woman's high-pitched voice carried a hint of sigh.

"If she had agreed to come to our house as a maid, she wouldn't be in this state now. She would probably not have survived more than a few days in the hands of those hooligans."

"We're here," the man said in a muffled voice, not answering the woman's question.

The sedan chair stopped, and with a creaking sound from the wood, the heavy curtain was opened, revealing the dim sky outside.

It is going to rain.

Bai Qian immediately looked at the sky. The menacing clouds were flying in the air, and the dark sky looked like a cave where some kind of monster lived, giving people a strange sense of fear.

She would often stand in the hospital room looking out the window at the sky, wondering if one day she could escape this cold, icy cage and stand freely under the sky.

The wish came true, but it wasn't what I imagined.

The three people beside the sedan chair were also quite clear: two men and one woman. The men were wearing coarse linen short shirts and looked somewhat slovenly, while the woman was wearing a gray-brown cotton horse-face skirt. Judging from her appearance, she sounded quite similar to the tone of voice they had just heard.

To paraphrase a certain writer, it's probably like a compass.

Thin and pointed.

The woman frowned and scrutinized Bai Qian, feeling inexplicably that something was amiss; this girl gave off a strange feeling.

But at this point, there was no time to worry about that.

“Take her into the temple. Third Master Rat will be here soon,” she said, pointing to the dilapidated temple in front of them.

It's called a dilapidated temple only because there are all sorts of patchwork marks on it, making it look like it's been broken several times and then repaired.

"What do you want me to do?" A clear, ethereal voice reached the woman's ears.

She turned her head and met Bai Qian's dark eyes.

When her eyes met those deep, dark eyes, she instinctively turned away again.

What can be done? What else can be done? In this world, what else can happen between demons and humans?

"If you have someone to blame, blame yourself for being born unlucky," the woman said instead of answering Bai Qian's question.

"Here's a packet of Mongolian medicine that will put you to sleep. Take it if you want; at least you won't feel any pain while you're asleep." She took out a packet wrapped in yellow paper from her waist and handed it to Bai Qian.

Bai Qian remained silent and unmoved.

She roughly knew what was going to happen next.

Her thoughts were completely calm. She had a good attitude towards death. After all, she had been tormented by illness for so long, so death was not scary for Bai Qian. Of course, now that she had been reborn after transmigrating, she would not object to standing freely on this earth.

Since the three people in front of me have brought me here, they probably won't let me escape, so I don't need to think about it for now. Even if I wanted to escape, I'll probably have to figure out a way later.

Seeing Bai Qian's indifferent attitude, the woman didn't want to explain anymore. Anyway, once she was locked in the temple, it would be the same as being put in a coffin, so there was no point in saying anything.

This isn't the first time I've done this; there's some sympathy, but not much.

“Stay in this temple,” she said, and the two men behind her stepped forward.

Bai Qian glanced at them and walked towards the dilapidated temple.

The three people behind her watched silently as the girl walked into the dark temple.

"Lock the door. She can wait here. Let's go," the woman said calmly.

The two men silently locked the temple door with a heavy iron lock.

"It's raining," the man said in a muffled voice.

"I know, let's go quickly." The woman glanced at the dilapidated temple that looked like it was imprisoning some kind of monster.

"That man's appetite is getting better and better, I wonder when it will end." As she said this, she was about to leave the dilapidated temple on her bound feet.

I saw a fat rat slowly crawling up the rugged mountain path.

Or perhaps "fat" is an inappropriate word to describe it; just lying on the ground, it was almost half the height of a person, and its eerie green eyes were chilling to behold.

The dark fur curled up one by one; if you plucked any single hair, you could probably use it as a rope.

In the dim light, apart from those unsettling beastly eyes, only a rough outline could be seen.

The woman's body stiffened, but she still managed to force a smile.

"Third Master Rat, what a coincidence!"

"I've brought the person over to you. You can go in and enjoy yourself."

Third Master Rat lay on the ground without speaking, his body trembling slightly. The woman saw dozens of densely packed gray rats, much larger than a palm, crawling up the mountain path.

"The three of you don't need to go either. My men are hungry too." The hoarse voice reached the woman's ears, and her expression stiffened and she paused.

Raindrops fell slowly, landing on people's skin, cool and refreshing, as if hitting a woman's heart.

"Is there some misunderstanding between us? Our family has always treated you with utmost respect and has offered you plenty of food every day. If you make a move, our family will stop offering you food in the future."

"It's alright," the hoarse voice came again.

"It'll all be the same a month from now anyway." As soon as it said this, the rats swarmed around it.

The three clearly knew that there was no way to negotiate and wanted to escape, but the gray blanket wouldn't let them go this time.

Countless rats crawled over with chilling sounds and devoured the three people in an instant.

The sounds of flesh and bone being gnawed on, along with the soft thud of raindrops hitting the ground, resounded throughout the room.

---

Bai Qian sat in the temple, which was actually just a small house. The entire temple had an extremely desolate feel because everything except the main gate was sealed off, with only faint light shining through the cracks.

The temple houses a dilapidated statue, which can be vaguely discerned as a slender bird or beast, perhaps a phoenix or something similar.

There was a name on the statue, but Bai Qian didn't recognize it.

A faint smell of blood still lingered in the air.

So, my next step is to figure out how to escape from here?

Thinking this, she was just about to walk to the door to see if there was a way to leave.

A rustling sound came from the darkness, and Bai Qian was slightly startled, realizing something.

Pick up a rusty iron plaque next to the statue. There are some words engraved on the plaque, and the top is a rusty spire.

It was a bit heavy and difficult to hold, but there were no other weapons available at the moment. Although Bai Qian was not afraid of death, not being afraid of death did not mean that she would just stay in the same place and wait to die.

A gray rat emerged from the shadows. Without hesitation, Bai Qian bent down and slammed the sign down hard.

Blood and flesh splattered on the girl's cheeks.

[Current lifespan of the demon: 5 years.]

[Skill Mastered: Continuous Cloud Leg (E)]

A rare look of confusion appeared in Bai Qian's eyes.

Volume 1: 2. Lianyun Leg (Ding Jixian)

Bai Qian had a vague recollection of Lianyungang ham.

It should be said to be the legacy left by the original owner, the martial arts she learned?

It's called martial arts, but it seems to be something that villagers usually use to strengthen their bodies. In the original village, both boys and girls were taught it. Of course, after learning it, it wasn't very useful. At most, it could probably make it easier to carry a bucket of water to fetch water faster.

There's a plus sign after "Lianyuntui" (a type of leg dish).

While Bai Qian was still pondering what the plus sign was, another gray mouse emerged from the shadows.

Bai Qian picked up the sign that was stained with ink and threw it at the rat that had crawled out again.

The rat's head was pierced by the sharp point of the sign, and bright red liquid flowed onto the ground.

[Current lifespan of the demon: six years]

The lifespan increases by one year, so one rat equals one year of a monster's lifespan?

The plus sign after "Lianyuntui" still shines with a light that involuntarily draws the eye upwards.

After hesitating for a moment, Bai Qian shifted her attention to the plus sign.

[Current lifespan of the demon: five years]

[You spent a year learning the Continuous Cloud Kick. Although this martial art is relatively basic, your naturally weak and sickly constitution slowed your learning process. It took you a year to barely progress from beginner to proficient.]

Bai Qian could sense some inexplicable changes in her body, changes that were difficult for a patient who had been bedridden for many years to describe.

In the darkness, the eerie sounds grew louder, and pairs of ghastly green lights appeared one after another in the pitch-black temple.

Perhaps it was the smell of their companion's blood that spurred them on, for the four rats simultaneously darted out of the darkness and crawled toward Bai Qian.

Bai Qian reacted instinctively, raising her small shoe and then kicking the nearest mouse towards her.

Two rats crawling side by side were kicked by Bai Qian at the same time. They flew up like two pebbles, splashing onto the wall and sticking to it tightly.

The other two mice had already arrived in front of Bai Qian.
