Chapter 2241: Medicine Shocks the World (26)
Chapter 2241: Chapter 2241: Medicine Shocks the World (26)
Although what Chuzheng said was shocking, now is not the time to delve into specifics.
Wu Yue got here before Chuzheng,
which means people who died in the Illusion Realm also appear here.
"There’s nothing where I’ve walked." Wu Yue said.
He didn’t see any people, nor did he see those townsfolk from before.
"You haven’t been here before?"
Wu Yue gave a helpless smile: "The opening intervals of Wuyin Town are long, this is my first time here."
Chuzheng glanced at him sideways: "What are you doing here?"
Wu Yue: "I heard it’s opening, so I came to have a look."
Whether these words are true or not is hard to say.
And of course, Chuzheng had no intention of discerning whether he was telling the truth.
"I haven’t checked over there yet, want to go together?" Wu Yue pointed in another direction.
Since they were here, they might as well take a look.
Wu Yue led the way, Chuzheng and Jing Po followed behind.
"...cough... Miss, what’s the coffin for?" Wu Yue felt it was too stifling, and casually asked.
"Does a coffin have any other use?" Chuzheng retorted.
"..."
But it’s really strange for you to be carrying a coffin!
Wu Yue wisely refrained from asking further.
They walked a certain distance, and Chuzheng spotted that river she had seen earlier.
Different from before, this river was now dried up, exposing the riverbed.
"Miss, have you heard the legend of the River of Forgetfulness?" Wu Yue saw Chuzheng looking at the river and struck up a conversation.
"What?" There are too many rumors about this thing, who knows which version pertains here.
"It’s rumored that this river can connect Yin and Yang, and can even lead to the Underworld."
"Oh."
Wu Yue raised an eyebrow and cast a curious glance.
Her reaction was just too calm.
"Doesn’t it intrigue you whether it’s true or not?"
Chuzheng was unconcerned: "It’s already dried up, what’s the point of being curious?"
Wu Yue looked at the riverbed, and after a moment shook his head: "Miss, you are right."
-
They circled most of the town, found nothing, but instead saw two more bodies on the ground.
They looked fresh, having just died not long ago.
Chuzheng was uninterested in the corpses; she found a spot intending to rest and feed the Good Person Card something.
Chuzheng pushed open a door, dust fell in flurries, she covered her nose and mouth, waited for the dust to settle a bit, then brought the Good Person Card inside.
Wu Yue watched as Chuzheng quickly cleared a clean spot, set a small table, with an air like they were on a picnic, making him feel like he was in the wrong place.
The young man just sat on a chair, fiddling with the bell on his wrist.
The crisp ringing echoed in the small space.
Wu Yue felt this combination was completely puzzling.
In such an environment, she’s not only not nervous, but also so leisurely...
-
This place had normal day and night cycles; as the sky darkened, the whole town felt more eerie.
The wind howled outside, and at times things were carried by the wind making noises.
Jing Po slept in the coffin, Chuzheng leaned beside it, Wu Yue didn’t sleep, slowly flipping through a booklet.
Night deepened, the firelight flickered between bright and dim.
Chuzheng vaguely heard whispers, the sound was disordered, hard to make out what’s said.
She discreetly sat up, Wu Yue leaned on the other side, having already closed his eyes to rest.
He seemed not to hear the sound, making no response at all at the moment.
The sound seemed a bit distant from her, likely not in this room.
Chuzheng confirmed Jing Po was fine, sat back down, not intending to pay attention to the sound.
The whispering lasted for nearly ten minutes, and with no response from Chuzheng, it changed into strange laughter.
Somewhat sharp, approaching from far to near.
Whoosh—
The wind blew past outside, making the dilapidated building groan.
Together with the strange sharp laughter, it was somewhat... noisy.
Chuzheng felt very irritated, being disturbed in the middle of the night, not even allowed a peaceful sleep.
Annoying!!
"Miss, did you hear something?" Wu Yue woke up at some point, and was staring outside.
"You just heard it." Chuzheng was a bit impatient.
Wu Yue: "..."
How was he supposed to respond to that?
If she heard it early on, why no reaction?
This surely isn’t a normal town!
Wu Yue got up: "I’ll go take a look outside."
Chuzheng sat silently, her expression slightly cold, showing no other signs of abnormality.
Wu Yue opened the creaky door, the sound dragging out, carried by the wind far away.
Wu Yue made a round outside, quickly returned: "There’s nothing, it’s a bit strange..."
Wu Yue hadn’t finished speaking when someone inside asked: "What did you bring back?"
Wu Yue froze: "I didn’t bring anything back."
He just went to take a look, how could he bring something?
Chuzheng pointed at the air: "Aren’t these it?"
Wu Yue turned his head to look beside him, nothing was there... why did his back suddenly feel cold?
Wu Yue was no fool, quickly understood: "Spiritual bodies?"
"Probably."
Wu Yue: "..."
What do you mean probably?
Wu Yue immediately wiped his eyes with his hand, a strange laughter sounded by his ear.
As he turned his head, he was confronted by a wrinkled face, drooling, staring intently at him.
Beside him were densely packed, at least ten spiritual bodies.
Men, women, old and young alike.
Some were even restless, groping him up and down.
Wu Yue’s face darkened, within the laughter there was conversation.
"Can he see us now?"
"That woman gave me a bad feeling, I don’t want to go over, you guys go."
"She can see us, her gaze is scary, I’m not going."
"I want this guy."
"I do too!"
"Who’ll go over there?"
"Whoever wants to go, go, I’m not going."
Wu Yue: "..."
Wu Yue quickly walked a few steps, wanting to shake off these spiritual bodies.
Ordinary spiritual bodies generally have no attack power, but some spiritual bodies can also train, those have considerable attack power.
Within spiritual bodies, the most feared are the evil spirits.
This group of spiritual bodies, probably doesn’t have evil spirits in it...
"Young man, don’t go!" The aunt first seen by Wu Yue hurried to catch up: "Seeing young man is graceful, are you married?"
The spiritual bodies behind crowded forward too.
Wu Yue: "???"
"Stop!" Wu Yue gave a shout.
The spiritual bodies made a sudden stop, including the fastest running aunt, all halted.
Wu Yue didn’t expect these spiritual bodies to be so obedient, he frowned slightly.
"Brother, who do you want to choose?" From the spiritual bodies, a child popped out his head, crisply asked.
Wu Yue: "??"
Choose what?
"What do they mean?" Wu Yue couldn’t figure it out alone and asked Chuzheng.
"Pick one." The literal meaning was not hard to understand.
"I know... I mean, why pick one?"
"Why don’t you try choosing one?" Chuzheng encouraged him.
"..."
Is this something you can try?
From the looks of things, it’s wrong no matter how you look at it!
"Young master, you need to choose quickly, once day breaks it’ll be too late." The speaker was a woman, holding an orchid gesture, smiling brightly.
