Mysterious Resurrection: Beginning with the Bride's Curse

Chapter 103 The Situation of the Village

"It seems that you are dead and didn't see that thing." The moment he saw Yu Zhile wake up, he subconsciously touched his neck.

The old man knew that the baby did not survive to the end.

"Killed by a butcher." Yu Zhile calmed down and let out a long breath.

"The butcher is the strongest. He will be injured at the beginning, but not later." When the old man mentioned the butcher, he subconsciously touched his neck. Apparently, he was also hacked to death by the butcher.

"His knife?" Yu Zhile's eyes flickered slightly, that knife was so fast.

"It's made of hundreds of steel, so it's normal to become violent quickly." The old man smiled and patted Yu Zhile's shoulder.

"Aren't you curious why you are still alive and we are still alive?"

"If you're not curious, why do we kill without blinking an eye at night, and don't stop killing, but we look like honest people during the day?"

"If you're not curious, what is that thing?"

"Aren't you curious about what appears in the body after killing someone?"

The old man looked at Yu Zhile without blinking, as if waiting for Yu Zhile to show the expression he wanted.

"Curious, old man, tell me and I will listen."

Yu Zhile looked at the yard. When he opened his eyes, he was in the yard.

He sat on the steps and looked at the old man quietly.

He basically knew something about the situation in the village. The killing last night made him realize part of the truth about the village.

This feels good, reviving the evil ghost in my body step by step, and then confronting the source ghost.

Unfortunately, he stopped under the butcher's knife and failed to see the thing.

There was more to the village than he knew.

The reason for killing, what does the butcher mean when he says he can kill but cannot finish the killing?

Is that thing the real source?

"If you can walk in front of the butcher, your ability is recognized."

The old man took out his cigarette rod, wrapped it in dry smoke and lit it. The white smoke curled up and enveloped the old man's face.

"Huaicun, this is not the name of this village. The name of this village used to be Haoliang. It is not a village, but a town."

"Haoliang is an isolated place. It was a town built to avoid wars in the past."

"This is a good town, really good, baby. If you were born before the accident happened, you would understand."

The old man recalled heading west.

The old man spoke very slowly, after all, it was a memory, but Yu Zhile's focus was not on this, but on the name of this village.

"Haoliang? Who gave this name?"

The old man was not angry after being interrupted. He thought for a moment and replied, "It was the first leader after the establishment of this town. He was a very capable man. It is recorded in the genealogy that the town is only possible because of him." He is very gentle and loves cats very much, especially the black cat he raises."

"The genealogy says that the black cat is extremely magical, knows people's words and understands people's hearts. It helped him a lot."

"Black cat?" Yu Zhile frowned.

"Well, it's a pity that the black cat disappeared after the mayor died. I don't know where it went. Maybe he died with the mayor." The old man sighed, feeling sorry for the mysterious black cat. I felt a pity.

"When did the accident happen?" Yu Zhile asked with his eyes twinkling slightly.

"One night a year ago, a man carrying a sword came to the village from the mountain. From that day on, Haoliang Town gradually turned into a village."

"Many people were killed by that thing. Only a few people died on the first day, a dozen on the second day, and a month later, less than half of the town's population was gone."

"At the beginning, we just thought it was a vendetta in the village, but when the number of people killed doubled the next day, things changed, especially when one person survived and spoke out about it after being attacked."

"So on the third day, the men in our village didn't sleep all night, just waiting for that thing."

"We waited until we waited. At that time, our idea was ridiculous, thinking that so many people could kill that thing no matter what."

"But we were wrong. There were so many of us who couldn't even leave a wound on him, or even stop him from walking towards the village."

"That day, we watched it kill people, kill those children and old people, and there was nothing we could do."

"That's it, until a month later, things changed because of the arrival of a person."

"We got hope and a way to fight that ghost."

The old man suddenly looked at Yu Zhile, his expression full of despair, "He told us that our village is already in a ghost's dream. It has trapped us, and we have trapped it. When it kills everyone, When we are there, that is when it is liberated.”

"He told us the truth and gave us the method."

"He said that in dreams, no one will die, but they will die if they are killed by that ghost."

"We are the ghost's escape, but we can also take its place."

"As long as our village fights each other with fierce murderous intent, the one who survives will have the ability to fight against the ghost, and even kill the ghost."

"But the more people we get killed by a ghost, the less chance we have of killing that ghost."

"The person who survives will not die if he is killed by a ghost. He will be resurrected the next day."

"Only ordinary people killed by that person will die completely. The person who lives to the end can no longer be regarded as a human being."

"So he won't die."

……

Yu Zhile rubbed his eyebrows, the old man's story was really true...

It's fast, not exciting, doesn't have many details, but it gets the point across.

"So, this is the truth that we are not dead?" Yu Zhile asked.

"Yes, people dream and wake up if they are frightened in the dream. Since we are trapped in the dream, we will not die. As long as we are not killed by the owner of the dream, we will not die." The old man nodded.

"Is this what that person told you?" Yu Zhile asked.

The old man nodded, "It turns out that what he said was true and he did not lie to us."

Yu Zhile was silent for a moment, and began to sort out what the old man said in his mind.

"The ghost who went down the mountain to kill people probably wanted to get back his own supernatural powers. All the villagers in the village have supernatural powers. When all the supernatural powers converge on one person, he can fight against the ghost or even kill it."

"This shows that the villagers have half the supernatural power of the ghost."

"Can……"

Now that you have the ability to fight against evil spirits, there are only two outcomes, either win or lose.

If you lose, the supernatural being will definitely be taken away by the source ghost. If you win, the source ghost will be controlled, and the village's nightmare will end.

But why would the village repeat the previous operation, keep killing each other, and keep going up the mountain?
Unless, the butcher who went up the mountain didn't win, but he didn't lose either.

Under what circumstances will there be no win or loss?
"Can't kill..."

Suddenly Yu Zhile thought of something, "The butcher can't kill the ghost, and the ghost can't kill the butcher. If it's delayed for a while, the dream will come back again!"

"That person has a problem!"

Yu Zhile looked up at the old man, "Did that man say his name?"

The old man frowned, thought carefully, and then shook his head, "No, he disappeared after telling us the truth."

"What was the name of the first mayor?" Seeing that he could not know the name of that person, Yu Zhile retreated and asked the name of the mayor.

"Zhuang Xianjian." The old man blurted out these words without thinking, as if the name had always been in his heart.

"Zhuang Xianjian?" Yu Zhile thought for a while, but there was no such person in his memory.

Yu Zhile shook his head, "I've never heard of it."

"Of course you haven't heard of it." The old man looked sideways at Yu Zhile.

He continued, "I saw this name from the genealogy. You, an outsider, would be a ghost if you knew it." Yu Zhile did not agree and changed the topic, "Has the Butcher ever won?"

All he wanted to know now was whether the butcher had ever defeated that ghost.

He only needs an answer, and whether he wins or loses, he can confirm his guess.

"I don't know. You can ask him. It depends on him whether he will say it or not." The old man shook his head and sighed, "He never said everything he saw. He only said he could kill, but he couldn't. Not finished."

"We can only guess that there are many ghosts, so many that even the butcher can't kill them all."

Yu Zhile was silent for a while and nodded, "Where is the butcher's shop?"

"You really want to go? You have to know that if you die during the day, you are really dead." The old man suddenly became excited and quickly stopped him.

"A butcher during the day can also kill people."

"It's okay, he still wants to learn something from me." Yu Zhile said with a smile.

The old man was stunned for a moment, and then thought of something quickly, "Did you almost miss it yesterday?"

Yu Zhile nodded, "The knife is broken, otherwise I would be the one going up the mountain."

As for yesterday's knife, as long as I kept cutting, the butcher's knife would be pulled out and his throat would be cut.

No matter how strong the butcher is, at that angle, the knife will definitely be pushed away by him.

"No wonder, no wonder..." the old man murmured to himself, then nodded, "You are very capable."

This is the second time the old man has commented on Yu Zhile like this.

Yu Zhile smiled, and after hearing the location mentioned by the old man, he got up and went out.

The village was peaceful during the day, with children running together on the bluestone road in the village.

Behind the children were a few puppies who were walking a little unsteadily.

The adults who went out carrying hoes looked at this scene with smiles on their faces.

Looking at this scene, Yu Zhile always felt a little weird. Last night, these people were fighting each other to the death, but now they were greeting each other in a friendly manner, and they seemed to lack the harshness and ferocity of last night.

"Maybe this is the pattern..."

"Brother, that's right, ruthless and awesome!"

Suddenly, a man carrying a backpack saw Yu Zhile. A smile suddenly appeared on his face and he extended a thumbs up.

Yu Zhile looked at this man in confusion and quickly remembered who this man was.

One of the people he killed yesterday.

The scene was very strange. A person he killed yesterday was now standing in front of him alive, sticking out his thumb and praising him for his greatness.

No matter how you look at it, what's wrong.

Yu Zhile touched his nose awkwardly, not knowing what to say.

You can't say it's okay, I'm sure you're not offending anyone.

"It's okay, you will get used to it sooner or later." The man seemed to see the reason for Yu Zhile's embarrassment, waved his hand, said hello, and turned to go to the fields.

Looking at the man walking away, Yu Zhile scratched his head and didn't know how to evaluate him.

Without paying too much attention, he continued walking forward.

On the way to the butcher's shop, Yu Zhile met many people who committed suicide. After seeing Yu Zhile, they all had smiles on their faces.

Greet him warmly.

Yu Zhile felt very uncomfortable at first, but later on, he got used to it. When someone said hello, he responded enthusiastically.

The people in the village are really enthusiastic, showing that they seem to be full of hope for life.

On the way to the butcher's shop, Yu Zhile couldn't help but smile on his face, seemingly infected by the enthusiastic villagers.

Emotions are really contagious, and so is a good mood.

After rejecting a woman's invitation to dinner, Yu Zhile turned around and left with a smile.

But suddenly he stopped.

A woman in front was sitting on a small stool washing her hair.

Women wear simple clothes, short-sleeved shirts and shorts, and loose-fitting clothes.

Loose clothes still can't hide the majesty of a woman's chest.

Splendid.

Yu Zhile's face turned red as he looked at it.

"This damn human emotion..." Yu Zhile shook his head.

"Doesn't it look good?" The woman who was washing her hair turned her head to look at him at some point, her brows slightly raised, as if she was a little dissatisfied.

The woman turned her head, and Yu Zhile recognized the woman. She was the only woman who appeared at the entrance of the village yesterday.

The moment he saw the woman's appearance, Yu Zhile had an idea in his mind. No wonder it was really inconvenient to see this woman's empty chest yesterday.

"very nice."

Yu Zhile shook his head and denied the woman's thoughts.

The woman said nothing, shook her hair, and then picked up a towel to wipe the water stains on her hair.

She stood up, her majestic aura swaying slightly, "Where are you planning to go?"

"Go to the pork shop and find the butcher." Yu Zhile looked at the woman casually, not feeling that there was anything wrong with his behavior.

The woman frowned slightly, but didn't say anything, "Together."

After saying that, the woman poured out the water in the basin, picked up the basin and bench, and entered the house.

Soon, the woman came out with her hair disheveled.

Yu Zhile didn't care, and walked towards the butcher with the woman.

"The butcher is very strong, isn't he?" The woman tilted her head and looked at Yu Zhile and asked this question, which would only be known if she was killed.

"Yeah." Yu Zhile nodded.

The butcher was indeed very strong. He reached the entrance of the village with only a few wounds on his body, none of which affected his movement.

He couldn't do it, there was no way around it.

"How many moves have you passed?" The woman became interested.

"Two moves." Yu Zhile thought for a moment, only two moves in total, and then his head fell off.

"Better than me, I can't even pass a single move." There was something strange in the woman's eyes.

"By the way, why are you going to the butcher? To buy pork?"

"If you don't want to buy it, just go find him." Yu Zhile lowered his head slightly and looked at the woman, "Are you not from this village?"

"Did you see it?" The woman's eyes flickered slightly.

"I came here by mistake while traveling, and I have been staying here for three months." The woman became a little cheerful as she walked.

"You're quite unlucky." Yu Zhile commented, just traveling and entering such a ghost place.

"Aren't you the same?" The woman looked at Yu Zhile strangely.

Yu Zhile smiled and didn't explain anything. He just looked ahead. On the street ahead, a shirtless man was breaking down pork on a chopping board with a butcher's knife.

The pork stall has arrived.
