Chapter 21 Lair, Abolition

Crackling...

The picture gradually became clear.

In front of the campfire, 'himself' and a few companions were holding a large piece of meat and devouring it.

They were in rags and scrawny.

But there was a piece of meat as long as a human leg roasting in front of him.

wrong,

Just human legs!

This is not the revolving door of the corpse, but the original owner of the corpse.

The screen turns.

The world was completely plunged into darkness, and I couldn't see my fingers.

A faint light enveloped the entire world.

Ji Yuan could only hear a little breathing.

Suck...suck...suck...

The whale swallows for a long time and does not exhale for a long time.

Ji Yuan felt shuddered.

Aren't you looking for corpses and evil spirits? What is the revolving lantern in front of you?

Except for the sound of breathing there was darkness.

The thought just crossed his mind.

A green light suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.

A faint green light floated faintly in front of his eyes.

Then,

The green light grew bigger and bigger, filling the entire world.

This is the end of the carousel.

Ji Yuan came out of the revolving lantern with a confused look on his face, his brows knitted together, and his heart was full of doubts.

What I was thinking about was the location of the corpse, but that didn't matter just now.

"But if what I think is right, the revolving door picture is also right."

"Then there's something weird where the corpse is."

Ji Yuan quickly began to follow the analysis.

As the saying goes, don't use people who are suspicious of you.

This is also appropriate for myself.

trust yourself.

Believe in [revolving lantern].

And Ji Yuan was too familiar with that green light, it was the color of ghosts.

So...where is the darkness?
  Deep in the cave, there is also underground.

These two places popped up in Ji Yuan's mind instantly.

Are the corpses hiding underfoot?
  Ji Yuan touched his chin, "It's not easy to find. We can't dig up the entire Heishi County."

Ji Yuan walked to the second corpse.

He slowly put his hand up.

This time, Ji Yuan was thinking about the place where corpses haunted.

This time.

The picture of the revolving lantern has changed.

Mountain forests, earthbags, rural pavilions...

The screen jumps back and forth around Black Rock City at night.

Intermittent and aimless.

then,

The revolving door disappeared.

"No, the scope given is too large, and the key points can't be found at all."

Ji Yuan wasted an opportunity this time.

the third time.

Ji Yuan is more precise.

Just silently say "Ghoul Go Home" in your mind.

The revolving door reappears.

The perspective was frozen, and 'himself' was walking stiffly in a small forest outside Black Rock City.

Slowly, I saw the buildings in the countryside.

Walking into the dilapidated streets...

Alleys, courtyards...

Ji Yuan looked more and more familiar, and his brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

Isn’t this Sanxi Township?
  The carousel ends again.

Ji Yuan didn't hesitate at all and started the fourth time directly.

There was a lot of repetition in the picture at first, because the corpse was moving too slowly, and it was all useless information.

But he continued to read patiently.

at last……

'I' walked into the vegetable field behind a small courtyard, dug the soil silently, dug out a place, and slowly lay down.

found it!
  The scene ended abruptly, but Ji Yuan no longer needed the follow-up.

He has found the wight's habitat.

Sanxi Township, in the vegetable field of a wealthy family.

OK!

Ji Yuan just stood up excitedly.

The world was spinning immediately before his eyes.

He was dizzy and staggered a few steps in place.

Only then did he stabilize his figure.

"Four revolving doors are still too many."

Ji Yuan had no choice but to temporarily give up the idea of ​​attacking the ghoul base tonight.

This state cannot release the soul.

It's not safe enough to rush forward rashly. However, the yard is not very big. If it is crowded, there will only be seven or eight corpses, and I can definitely handle it.

This is meat that reaches your mouth.

Don't panic.

After thinking about it, Ji Yuan turned around and returned to the mass grave.

……

Ji Yuan took a nap.

I didn't wake up until it was time to put the porridge.

He walked out of the wooden barn on his own.

However, I saw that the queues under the tents where meals were originally placed were not as orderly as before.

But a group of people crowded together.

Complaints reached his ears faintly.

"Why don't you make porridge today?"

"Where's the porridge?"

"Yeah yeah."

Ji Yuan walked over slowly and said, "What's going on?"

He pushed through the crowd and walked to the front.

There was not even a ladle of boiling water in the two empty cauldrons.

Soon,
  The four pedestrians walked over from the direction of Black Rock City at the same time.

The ordinary-looking Liu Da took out a roll of parchment from his arms.

Everyone present was instantly refreshed.

Official documents of the Daqian Dynasty were usually written on expensive parchment.

This symbolizes the power of the dynasty and the majesty of the officials.

"The rain of blessings has come, washing away the sins of the innocent souls. Now the country and the people in Heishi County are peaceful, and few people have died..."

The lengthy official talk made all the illiterate people present feel sleepy.

"Just after the great disaster, the treasury is empty. From now on, the County Mortuary Department will no longer accept corpses as schoolchildren."

"We are apprentices, and we will select the best ones after passing the assessment."

"Specially, the mass graves of the schoolchildren will be dismissed."

But when they heard the last sentence, everyone became energetic.

Or,

shocked.

"Why!"

"I have worked so hard for so long and sucked in so much yin energy that my body is exhausted."

"If you let me go now, where can I go?"

There was an uproar in front of the two greenhouses.

There was an endless stream of cries and prayers.

However, the four apprentices in front of him were indifferent.

behind them,
  There is also a team of eight elite soldiers wearing armor and holding guns.

If anyone dares to act excessively, Ji Yuan has no doubt that these elite soldiers will shoot him.

This is the simple summary of the county magistrate's official document.

The yamen is out of money, feels the mass graves are too bloated, and wants to lay off employees!
  Ji Yuan was not surprised, there were signs of this happening long ago.

For the past ten days, the people in the mass graves had nothing to do.

No corpses were brought, so they spent the whole day eating on the mass graves.

He had thought that some of the people working as schoolchildren would be laid off, but he did not expect that all of them would be laid off in one fell swoop.

Even widowed apprentices have to be laid off.

Before the apprentice can gather enough guarantors, the position of the apprentice is already shaky.

Gee...

Ji Yuan was also a little panicked.

"What a ruthless group of people." Zhang Miao tutted at the side.

"This is a place for school children. It was a newly introduced position just after this year's disaster. It just rained heavily and was removed."

When Ji Yuan heard Zhang Miao reveal the origin of the decree, he became even less surprised.

Next to him, Fatty Wang also said, "Thick porridge is also porridge, and it also costs money."

"There are more than eighty mouths in the mass graves alone, including other places..."

"It's also a big expense."

"And these are apprentices. I heard... we will only have five left in the mass grave."

"The most important thing is that even staying is not safe."

"If you can't be promoted to a pedestrian within half a year, you still have to leave."

Ji Yuan listened silently to the chat between the two young masters.

They are well informed.

From front to back, Ji Yuan heard everything clearly.

Regarding layoffs,
  Wherever it comes, it is a bolt from the blue for ordinary people.

The schoolchildren on one side were still crying and howling.

"Then the Yamen must give me some wages! It's okay to give me some travel expenses."

"No."

Liu Da's cold voice rejected all requests.

"If you don't give it to us, we'll take it ourselves!"

"Yes! Grab..."

puff!
  The weapon instantly pierced a man's chest.

The smell of blood began to fill the air in front of the greenhouse.

Several soldiers took a step forward in unison, like the tall and majestic city wall of Heishi County, keeping everyone out.

At last.

Everyone still bowed their heads silently and chose to accept it all.

They began to turn around and go back to the wooden warehouse to pack their few luggage.

One after another, people are preparing to leave the mass graves.
