Boss Zhou squatted in front of the cage and stroked the man's head. There was a hint of doting in his eyes, and he kept soothing in his mouth.
"Be good...eat...eat..."
I turned my head aside in disgust, not looking at them, but the "clicking" sound of chewing still made me feel uncomfortable all over.
After waiting for a long time, he still hadn't finished eating. I couldn't help it anymore and asked:
"You raise those corpse snakes just to feed him?"
Boss Zhou nodded, his eyes full of helplessness,
"Yes, only these corpse snakes can stabilize his irritable mood..."
"Isn't it just that?" I asked.
"Well... of course, he can only survive with this snake meat."
"Survive???"
His words surprised me, and I immediately said:
"You don't know he's dead, right? If you feed it with a corpse snake like this, it will only make him a zombie. If things go on like this, the cage and chains won't be able to trap him at all, and even you will have to die in his hands.
"
Boss Zhou shook his head helplessly,
"What you don't know is that he was already...a zombie before he ate the snake meat..."
I was startled and looked at him in disbelief. It turned out that this man had died a long time ago, but why was he still "raising" him like this?
"Can you help me?!"
Boss Zhou raised his head and looked at me, his eyes full of expectation.
"Everyone is dead, why do you ask me to help you? I will not resurrect the corpse."
Boss Zhou stood up, covered the cage with the black cloth again, gritted his teeth and said:
"I want you to help him take revenge!"
"Revenge?!" I said in surprise.
Seeing him nodding, I didn't rush to agree or disagree, but asked:
"Who is he? Why did it become like this?"
"He is my son. I, the Zhou family, have been raising snakes since hundreds of years ago. I was a snake raiser in the past. Although I am not as good as you Yin Yang ghosts, I have had my own glory. It is a pity that my father
That generation started to go downhill gradually..."
I listened with all my attention and did not interrupt him.
"In my generation, I have completely lost my way of living. It is impossible to make a living by raising snakes anymore, so I have not passed this skill on to my son. I want him to live a normal life. Alas, it's a pity.
Don’t follow people’s wishes…”
"Two years ago in July, my son and I went to the mountains to catch some game to feed the snakes. Unfortunately, it rained heavily that day and we were trapped in the mountains. After the rain stopped, we, father and son, walked down the mountain in the dark.
When passing through a valley, you...guess what we saw?"
I stared at Boss Zhou's expression and found that his eyelids and corners of his mouth were twitching, as if he remembered something terrible. Thinking of his son's tragic situation, I couldn't help but say:
"Have you...encountered a zombie?"
Unexpectedly, Boss Zhou shook his head repeatedly,
"No...it's not a zombie, but...it's a hundred ghosts walking in the night..."
"Hundred...Hundred Ghosts Night Parade?!"
I stared at Boss Zhou with my eyes wide open, with a look of disbelief on my face...
Thousands of ghosts walk around at night, and their resentment attracts evil spirits.
The so-called "Hundred Ghosts Walking at Night" does not refer to ordinary lonely ghosts, but to the ghosts of grievances and resentments. They are filled with resentment and resentment and cannot enter the underworld without falling into reincarnation. They appear in groups in a certain place, usually in such places.
No living person can approach this place where grievances and evil are brewing!
Anyone you meet will definitely attract ghosts and die on the spot! After death, the soul turns into a fierce ghost and joins the hundred ghosts, and cannot be reincarnated...
Thinking of this, I took a deep breath unconsciously. So the soul of Boss Zhou’s son must have joined the hundred ghosts, so I asked:
"What about after meeting a hundred ghosts?"
"Why…"
He let out a long sigh,
"Because I am a snake breeder and know some of the ways, but my craftsmanship is humble and I cannot protect my son well. I saw him being led away into the valley by a hundred ghosts. I searched for him all night, and finally in the early morning after the ghosts dispersed
, found him in the valley, but he had already..."
Boss Zhou didn't finish his words, but the result was that there was no need to think too much. His son was dead and turned into a zombie.
"You just said you wanted me to help your son avenge you, didn't you want me to go to that valley to drive away the Hundred Ghosts? And there's one thing I don't understand. It's obviously the Hundred Ghosts Walking at Night, why did your son become..."
Just when I was halfway through speaking, I suddenly thought of something and lost my voice:
"You mean there are not only ghosts in the valley, but also zombies?"
Boss Zhou nodded heavily,
"Yes, I once went down to the valley to look at it when my yang energy was sufficient, and I also let a snake in. Although the snake did not die inside, it turned into a corpse snake when it came out. It was also through that time that I discovered the corpse.
The meat of the snake can help my son stabilize the corpse energy in his body and prevent his corpse nature from developing..."
"But it's really unusual there. It's a pity that my ability is shallow and I really can't handle it..."
At this point, he suddenly raised his head and became excited,
"It's okay if you don't help my son get revenge. I just ask you to help me find my son's soul from among the ghosts, so that he can go to the underworld and be reincarnated, and have a chance to be reincarnated as a human being! I...please!!!"
Boss Zhou suddenly knelt down in front of me. Before I could help him, he suddenly groaned and fell to the ground, covering his legs and shaking uncontrollably.
I was stunned for a moment, my eyes fell on his legs, and I found some straw exposed from the trouser legs.
I suddenly thought of something. I squatted next to him and slowly rolled up my trouser legs. A mind-numbing scene appeared...
I saw that his legs were wrapped in thick gauze. Despite this, the legs were still horribly thin. The gauze had been stained red with large blood stains, and there was also a lot of straw mixed in...
If I touch him a little, he will tremble. I help him lower his trousers shivering and ask in disbelief:
