Chapter 376: Centenarians Eat People, Ghosts Climb from Hell
"No way?" Wen Xiaoli felt a chill run down her spine. "Why are we having a funeral if this person isn't dead?"
Meng Fuling narrowed her eyes: "Although he hasn't died yet, he will be soon!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the man carrying the coffin arrive, and the coffin fell to the ground in an instant.
With a loud bang, the coffin lid slid open.
The person in the coffin fell down and landed heavily on the ground.
"Ah!" The old man inside with white hair and wearing funeral clothes lay there and hummed.
"Great Grandpa!" Ah Hui rushed over immediately when he saw someone fall to the ground.
I really didn't expect that the old man in the coffin was actually alive.
"Let go, Ah Hui!" Several people pushed him away and wanted to put the old man back into the coffin.
"A lot of people have died in the village already. If we don't let your grandfather go, more people will die!"
"Yes, for the sake of our entire village, please send your great-grandfather away quickly."
"As long as he's alive, we won't have peace. You can't be so selfish."
These people pressed Ah Hui to the ground madly, and then tried to put the old man into the coffin.
"Help, someone come quickly!" Ah Hui was unable to move and watched his great-grandfather being sent away.
He turned his head and saw a police car parked on the side of the road, and immediately rushed over: "Police, are you police?"
"I'm going to call the police! These people are taking human life lightly and want to kill my great-grandfather!"
It seemed that they had no choice but to ignore the situation, so Meng Fuling and Wen Xiaoli got out of the car.
After seeing the police uniform on Wen Xiaoli, these people clearly had a hint of panic in their eyes.
"What's going on?" she asked the man named Ah Hui. "I saw that the old man is not dead. Where are you taking him?"
"They want to send my grandfather to the Ten Thousand Skull Mountain to be sold because they say he's a man-eating demon."
An old man is an evil ghost? Looking at this old man lying in the coffin, unable to move, how can he eat people?
"You guys, put the coffin down first!" Although Wen Xiaoli didn't know what was going on, she knew that the person was indeed not dead.
"No!" The middle-aged man walking in front disagreed.
"We must bury her in the Ten Thousand Skull Mountain today, otherwise she will come out and eat people at night!"
"Every year someone dies in our village, and it's this old man Liu who kills and eats them."
"The longer he lives, the more of us will die. We don't want that to happen, but there's nothing we can do."
Several villagers said with serious expressions, "Don't you know that people over a hundred years old will turn into evil ghosts and eat people?"
When the fans in the live broadcast room heard this, they were immediately furious.
[What nonsense! Who says a 100-year-old man can turn into an evil ghost? This is all ridiculous feudal superstition.]
[Yes, my great-grandmother lived to be 102 years old, and I never saw her eat anyone. She could eat half a pound of pig's head every day.]
[This person isn't even dead yet, yet you're rushing to bury him. Isn't this murder?]
[I've never seen this before, but did someone really die in their village? It doesn't seem real to me.]
[It's so old, and it still crawls out to eat people. Its teeth have fallen out and it can't chew anymore, right? ]
There is a lot of chatter online, and people think this is ridiculous.
"That's not okay!" Wen Xiaoli stopped him on the spot: "As long as the person is still alive, burying him is murder!"
"Take that person home immediately, okay?" Her scolding made the mourners look at each other in confusion.
It seemed that he had no intention of carrying out the order, but instead continued to stop Wen Xiaoli from getting closer.
Meng Fuling walked over and looked at the old man in the coffin, feeling his weak breath.
"Don't worry, he's not a demon and he doesn't eat people!"
"What did you say?" The middle-aged man looked puzzled. "Who are you? Just because you say you're not me, you're not me?"
"This is our police station's special commissioner, Meng Fuling, a master of metaphysics who specializes in resolving paranormal incidents."
Wen Xiaoli explained in front of these people: "Just listen to her. If she says it's not true, then it's definitely not true."
"Grandpa!" Ah Hui rushed over and hugged Grandpa and cried, "Don't be afraid, I'm here!"
Meng Fuling looked at the man named Ah Hui and stared at his face for a long time.
"The living dead, the flesh and bones, the people who should be dead are still alive in this world, that is truly absurd."
"What did you say, Master?" Ah Hui looked at her in confusion: "What living dead?"
"Are you really a master of metaphysics? Can you catch ghosts?" Several people became puzzled.
"Don't worry, I will definitely help you catch this ghost!"
Meng Fuling kept looking at the old man: "Interesting, it looks like an opportunity has arrived!"
Finally, after Wen Xiaoli's persuasion, the villagers finally agreed to take the old man back to the village.
The village next door was called Wan Ku Village. Because it was an unlucky name, it was later changed to Wan Fu Village, meaning the hope for good fortune.
Wanshou Village is relatively prosperous, and the local villagers seem to live a good life.
But something strange has happened in recent years: people die in the village on the second day of the second lunar month every year.
And this day is today, which is also the birthday of Old Master Liu Yulong.
The old man is now 124 years old, and he started killing people since he celebrated his 100th birthday.
These people died miserably, as if they were bitten to death and only a pile of bones were left.
At first, everyone thought it was done by wild animals released into the mountains, but people die tragically at this time every year.
24 years have passed like this, and 24 people have choked to death in the village.
So people in the village started to spread rumors that the old man would turn into an evil ghost after he turned a hundred years old.
The evil ghost will eat a person on his birthday every year to prolong his life, and this evil ghost is Liu Yulong.
The story became more and more bizarre, and soon the whole village thought that this centenarian man was eating people.
The legend that people will eat humans if they are over a hundred years old has made the villagers uneasy. Today is the second day of the second month.
So the villagers unanimously decided to send Liu Yulong to Wanku Mountain for burial.
Who knew that his grandson Liu Zhihui got the news from somewhere and ran back to stop it.
I can't believe this old man is 125 years old, but he has a pretty good appetite for eating one person every year.
"You believe that? The villagers are just afraid and have nowhere to vent their anger, so they're using the old man as a scapegoat."
[I don't know if you believe it or not, but I don't. Burying old people alive, I think these people are scarier than evil spirits.]
Didn't the master say that? The old man is not an evil ghost, so they almost killed someone.
[But the old man's grandson is really used to it. If he hadn't rushed back to stop it, the old man would be dead by now.]
The villagers were also very scared. The scene of the dead bodies being eaten was so horrifying.
Liu Zhihui put the old man on the bed. He was trembling and looked in a bad condition.
He was already 124 years old, and after such a ordeal, he almost lost his life.
"So, Master, tell me, if this man-eating evil ghost isn't Liu Yulong, then who is it?"
Meng Fuling glanced at Liu Zhihui who was standing next to the old man, and a sneer appeared at the corner of her lips.
"It's him!" Her hand pointed directly at Liu Zhihui who was taking care of the grandfather.
"What?" Everyone opened their eyes wide in shock: "You, you said Ah Hui is an evil ghost?"
"Master, what are you talking about?" Liu Zhihui's face was gloomy. "Although I thank you for saving my grandfather."
"But you can't talk nonsense. I'm an upright person. How could I be a man-eating ghost?"
"The ghosts crawling out of hell may wear human skin, but that can't hide their evil deeds of cannibalism."
Did Liu Zhihui crawl out of hell? This conclusion shocked everyone.
