Chapter 205 Troubled Times Are Coming
Late at night, the town was quiet and the townspeople had fallen asleep.
A slender black shadow slowly crawled out from the deep forest and slowly crawled on the street, sniffing as it crawled.
Finally, it chose a small courtyard, slowly crawled in, went straight across the courtyard, and crawled towards a small house in the courtyard.
In the room lay a skinny girl, her face as pale as paper, her brows furrowed, curled up on the bed and fast asleep.
But she didn't sleep very well, and she kept murmuring from time to time, as if she was talking to someone.
The long shadow slowly slipped in through the crack in the door and accidentally hit the bolt, making a slight noise.
There seemed to be some movement in the main house, and a woman's soft crying could be heard.
"What a sin! How could my daughter have provoked this horrible, dirty thing? It comes to haunt her every night, and even a good person is no longer a good person..."
Soon it seemed as if someone covered his mouth, and finally he fell silent.
The black shadow continued to crawl in, getting closer and closer to the girl, and finally climbed onto the girl and crawled into the quilt.
Xie Zaozao: "Why, it's cold outside, are you looking for a bed to crawl into?"
The person on the bed suddenly sat up, grabbed the dark shadow's neck and lifted it up. She flicked her fingers lightly, and the candle in the room lit up.
Looking closely at the slender black shadow in his hand, it looked like a long earthworm. It felt sticky and cold in his hand, and was twisting wildly.
Xie Zao Zao looked disgusted: "It might as well be a snake."
Fu Yanzhi's helpless voice came from the side: "These low-level demons from the demon world originally have different forms. I will take whichever one I encounter."
Xie Zao Zao threw the snake to Fu Yanzhi: "Here you go, keep it."
Fu Yan used a talisman to turn the demon into a very small thing and stuffed it into a box.
The two of them walked out and said to the main house, "It's okay, come out."
Then there was a loud cry from the main house, and a woman rushed out crying, and rushed directly into the house to see the sleeping girl.
The girl was still sleeping, but her complexion had improved a little and was slightly rosy.
The woman relaxed completely, rushed out of the room with tears on her face, and knelt down in front of the two people in the yard.
As a result, I couldn't kneel down.
I don’t know why, but as soon as I think about kneeling, my legs become as straight as sticks.
Fu Yanzhi glanced at Xie Zaozao helplessly, with a hint of smile in his eyes: "Don't make trouble."
Xie Zao Zao said: "Don't kneel, don't kneel and I will untie you."
The woman nodded desperately and stood there wiping her tears: "Thank you, sir and madam. If it weren't for you, my daughter would have died here."
This lady, surnamed Liu Wang, had lived in this small town for generations. She married and had children. Her husband and son were both in business and were away from home all year round. She stayed at home to take care of the children, and their life was fairly comfortable.
Busy but uneventful, she is very satisfied with her life.
But in the past year or so, the number of demons has suddenly begun to increase, and from time to time there are terrible incidents of people in the town being possessed by demons.
Liu Chun, the eldest daughter of Liu Wang, was not spared either. One day, she went to the river to wash clothes and came back saying she was not feeling well. When she fell asleep at night, she started talking nonsense, saying that she was being pestered by a man who insisted on marrying her.
If this man was good-looking, it would be fine, just treat it as a weird erotic dream, but this man has long arms and legs. When he stands up, he is several centimeters taller than the longest pillar in the town, and he can twist and turn in various ways.
Liu Chun was so frightened that he woke up from his dream screaming, and ran to his mother's room crying.
Originally thought it was just an ordinary nightmare, but the next night, Liu Chun began to dream about the man again. The day before, the man was just courting her.
And that night, he appeared at the door of Liu Chun's house in her dream in a dignified manner, looking at her with a smile: "Can I come in?"
Liu Chun was frightened and cried again.
Over the next few days, the man appeared at the gate and said to her, "Chun'er, can I come in?"
Liu Wangshi was very worried and took Liu Chun to find the town's magician. The town was relatively remote and there were no respectable families in charge.
Although the few remaining mystics weren't particularly formidable, their faces turned grave when they heard this: "You absolutely must not open the door. No matter what that man says, do not open it!"
After saying that, he gave Liu Chun a few talismans, saying that if the man came again, he would not be able to get in, but Liu Chun must keep his mind calm and not be bewitched by the man in his dream.
Liu Wang asked the master of mysticism for help, but the master was helpless and pointed to the mountain of talismans and case files on the table.
"There are many more serious things happening than yours. Three children drowned in the Chen family's well, but they all came back alive the next day. Also, there was a courtesan who suddenly appeared in the Xinghua Tower in the east. She was extremely ugly, but people flocked to her. However, all the men who had sex with her were buried headfirst in the ground the next day—"
The mystic reported many such things and sighed, "The world is in chaos now, with demons wreaking havoc everywhere. Your family's affairs are nothing. We can only wait and see. Just calm the girl down, and nothing will happen."
Liu Wangshi had no choice but to bring her daughter back and paste the talismans everywhere according to the instructions of the magician.
That night, Liu Chun still had a dream. He dreamed that the man was very angry at the door. His whole face became transparent and full of mucus, which made his facial features messed up. He was roaring at the top of his lungs.
"You are such a heartless woman! How dare you disregard my feelings like this! If you don't open the door, I will kill your family!"
Liu Chun was so scared that his legs were shaking, but he still held on and didn't open the door.
When the first rays of light from the horizon shone into the room, she woke up in tears, but at night she fell into a bigger nightmare.
The man shouted and cursed at the door every day, transforming into all kinds of terrifying images. Liu Chun always curled up in the yard and watched with tears in her eyes.
The man conjured up Liu Wangshi and her brothers and sisters in front of her and tortured and killed them for fun. She watched her family members being disemboweled and their limbs broken by the man, and closed her eyes in despair.
But she knew that there was a talisman on the house and the man could not get in, so everything was fake.
Despite this, she became more and more haggard day by day, and was in a daze all day long.
She later went to the master's house for help, but found that the door was splattered with blood and there were signs of vandalism everywhere.
Someone told her that something happened to the mystic last night. It seemed like someone rushed in for help, followed by a group of demons. The mystic led the demons out of the town and never appeared again.
Liu Chun returned home in a daze.
That night, when she saw the man, she lost her composure and began to tremble. The man seemed to know what she was afraid of and smiled, "No one will protect you anymore."
Then he pulled Liu Chun's father and brother out from behind him: "I can't get in, but I can find them."
