Chapter 168: Miserable Worship



That night, Xie Yu wiped her hair and walked to the computer and sat down.

He was home alone, and after taking a shower he was only wearing a pair of shorts.

He hasn't been out of the house for two days and has been relying on instant food to get by.

The light made the glass window look like a mirror, reflecting the hideous wound on the shoulder blade, which was as big as a fist and lingered with a corrupt and sinister smell.

There was a woman standing outside. She had a big mouth, crooked teeth, and pupils that almost filled her eye sockets. She sweetly pressed her cheek against the window.

But the house that Xie Yu rented was on the thirteenth floor.

This female ghost has been teasing him for two days, since he came back from the eastern suburbs.

Two days ago, Xie Yu accepted a bounty on the forum to deal with a zombie.

The wound on the shoulder was also left by a zombie.

Ghouls feed on corpses and their saliva is highly poisonous. Although Jie Yu exchanged the potion to block the toxin in time, the wound was not so easy to heal and rotten flesh continued to grow.

Every time it grows out, you can only cut it off little by little with a knife until the toxins that have invaded the epidermis are metabolized.

Ordinary ghouls were not of high level and intelligence, and usually parasitized humans and hyenas that ate carrion. Newly born ghouls moved slowly, similar to low-level zombies, and were relatively easy to deal with. If they were just ghouls, they wouldn't make Jie Yu afraid to even leave the house.

The ghoul was born in a funeral home in the eastern suburbs of Tonghua City, from a fisherman who had just been salvaged from the Sihe Reservoir.

According to the prophet's prophecy, this ghoul's weakness is its teeth. Once its teeth are broken, it will be unable to eat.

The zombie's body was filled with deadly toxins, but the fisherman drowned.

The photo in the news report showed him as a thin man, but when he was sent to the funeral home, he had swollen into a fat man weighing 300 pounds.

A highly decomposed corpse can easily explode if not carefully managed.

Ghouls are a type of monster that advances quickly. As they eat more and more human brains, they will soon grow their own gray and tender brains and evolve into Ghoul Kings. The thing that a funeral home has the most is corpses, so the first night is the best time.

Xie Yu exchanged for a disguise cream and sneaked into the morgue disguised as a funeral home employee on night shift.

He has always been cautious and had made foolproof preparations in advance. Just when he was about to kill the zombie, Xie Yu suddenly found three other corpses lying next to him. The white cloth covering their bodies fell off... They moved without any warning!

The corpse, which had just been transported in and had not yet been dealt with, opened its gray pupils and bowed towards him from bottom to top.

Kneeling on the ground, it was clearly a solemn gesture, but it was done by three corpses...

Even though Xie Yu had seen many terrifying ghosts, he couldn't help but feel his heart beating faster when he saw this scene.

Those dead faces slowly raised their heads, and their stiff mouths moved creakingly, as if they were saying something.

Maggots crawled out of their mouths and gnawed at their gray lips.

Xie Yu didn't understand what they were saying at first, as it didn't seem like the Chinese language.

Perhaps it was a minority dialect that he didn't know, or perhaps the body was so stiff that he couldn't align his lips.

After he mentioned this to Jian Nanxing on the communication device, the other party suddenly became serious and said, "Hurry up and leave! They are worshiping miserably!"

Miserable worship? It sounds like an ominous word.

Xie Yu no longer hesitated, and used the handle of the knife to smash the zombie's teeth. At the critical moment, he suddenly noticed that the clothes on his shoulder were torn by something. He was shocked and dodged quickly, but his shoulder blade was still corroded by the gunpowder sprayed from the zombie's mouth.

Seeing the zombie staggering away, he gritted his teeth and chased after it, killing it with his supernatural powers, then crushed the teleportation ticket and disappeared.

I returned home in agony and treated my wounds before searching online for the so-called "tragic worship."

Mianbai is an extremely evil curse that originated from a village in southeastern Fuso.

Three dying people are needed to initiate the curse and perform a ceremony to pay homage to the cursed person when he or she leaves the cursed land.

A normal bow is a gesture from top to bottom, usually performed to elders, wishing them longevity and good health, which is a beautiful blessing.

The tragic worship is just the opposite. The gesture from bottom to top is a worship action for the dead, implying a curse on the other person to die soon.

It turned out that when they were bowing, the three people were chanting "Cangbai...Cangbai...Cangbai..." in the Japanese language.

In this way, the other party will die within a few days.

The three bodies in the funeral home had just returned from a trip to Japan a few days ago, and it was very likely that they had been brutally murdered somewhere.

The tragic worship requires prior preparation. The night before, the three initiators of the curse will stare at the cursed person while he or she is asleep, and silently recite "tragic worship...tragic worship...tragic worship..." in their hearts until the next day when the sun rises, and the process cannot be interrupted.

These three miserable ghosts just worshiped him directly... and they actually succeeded?

Xie Yu realized that if such a ghost appeared in the urban area, countless people would die from the curse.

He immediately reported the news, and when other night watchmen arrived, the three bodies had disappeared from the funeral home and their whereabouts were unknown.

In the next few days, Xie Yu did not go out again.

He is cursed and has been very unlucky recently, from small things like no noodles in his instant noodles, clogged sewers, ghosts knocking on his windows... The torn clothes were one of them. If it weren't for the potion in the forum mall, he might have been contaminated and turned into a new ghoul long ago.

Xie Yu was not clear about the scope of the tragedy. If ordinary citizens were accidentally injured, his identity as a psychic would be discovered and he would be finished.

Suddenly, a message popped up on the computer.

"Investigation Bureau? Cursed object?" Xie Yu frowned slightly.

This is not a bounty task that anyone in the forum can take up. The administrator will send it to him privately in the background.

The handover between the contact person and the official psychic is required at 12 o'clock tomorrow night.

In addition to him, two senior psychics in the organization took on the task... It was obviously just an ordinary handover task, but the salary provided was as high as 1,000, and two senior psychics were specially arranged. This task was definitely not as simple as it seemed.

But...why did this task fall on him?

Isn’t the prophet afraid of his appearance? Will the entire northwest Shanxi be thrown into chaos?
