Zuo Cun looked at the seemingly sumptuous meal on the plate.
The fragrant smell penetrated from the nose into the brain, tempting Zuocun.
However, Zuocun knew it very well.
This meal cannot be eaten.
This is the real "Huangquan Kitchen Food".
He took a few deep breaths.
"What's wrong, young man?" The woman leaned down, her tone worried, but her eyes were full of sarcasm.
Zuocun forced his expression to be normal, looked at the woman, and smiled: "Sir, madam, although I am very hungry now, can you tell me, um..."
Kurokawa Hideo glanced at the woman and shrank his neck.
The woman's expression was uncertain and a little embarrassed.
"If you need to go to the bathroom, just walk along this corridor to the end." Finally, the woman said.
"Thank you." Zuo Cun smiled slightly, stood up, and walked out of the living room.
Zuo Cun's footsteps disappeared at the end of the corridor.
The woman's long hair was fluttering, and her eyes were terrifying.
"I thought I was just a little kid who didn't understand anything. I didn't expect it to be so troublesome..." The long black hair danced like darkness, blocking the light.
The man suspected to be Hideo Kurokawa was kneeling on the ground, not daring to say a word.
"He seems to have discovered something...Forget it, it doesn't matter." The long black hair was retracted, and the woman returned to her previous ladylike appearance. She said to the man lying on the ground, "Kurokawa Hideo,
My village chief."
"......yes."
"You will dedicate him to me, right?" The woman's eyes were filled with hatred and blood as she looked at Hideo Kurokawa.
"...Yes!" Kurokawa Hideo trembled and said these words.
"Very good." The woman smiled.
"If that young warrior comes back, tell him that I am very tired and it is getting late, so I will... go and rest first." The woman said as she walked out of the living room.
"Huh?" The woman stood in the corridor and looked at the roof with some vigilance.
Nothing.
"Is it an illusion..." The woman turned around and left.
Zuo Cun lay on the back of the roof, frowning.
Kurokawa Hideo stood up from the ground, gritting his teeth.
"Ugh——" It was as if he was full of anger and couldn't vent it.
Rich black energy emanated from his body, rising like a flame.
He looked at the direction the woman was leaving, clenched his fists, and silently exuded anger.
But after a few seconds, he weakly let go of his hand.
He sat on the main seat, with a flickering candle beside him.
He sighed deeply: "It feels like being enslaved..."
Samura was lying on the roof, listening to Kurokawa Hideo's words and thinking.
Judging from all the current signs, that woman seems to be the culprit?
What does Hideo Kurokawa mean by being enslaved?
Zuo Cun knew very well that the thing he encountered was probably not a human being.
Judging from the strange things he encountered when he came to Kurokawa Shimomura, he must have encountered some monsters.
Zuo Cun lay on the roof and sighed.
Although it is a bit hard to accept, but now it seems...
With a slight jump from the roof, Zuocun jumped back to the ground.
The sky was darker than usual, and the moon was not visible.
The sword is no longer around, and Zuocun is equivalent to having his wings pinched off.
In a daze, Zuo Cun seemed to find a little girl standing in the middle of the courtyard.
The little girl had cold eyes, white hair and white eyes, and looked at Zuocun quietly.
"That's..." Zuo Cun took two steps forward, holding on to the wooden pillars in the corridor, trying to get a better look.
But a gust of wind blew by, heavy snow blocked Zuocun's sight, and the little girl disappeared without a trace.
Zuo Cun frowned.
In this weird village, everything in front of you cannot be easily believed.
But Zuo Cun felt that that little girl was indeed there and looking at him.
Back in the living room, Hideo Kurokawa's gloomy face instantly turned into enthusiasm: "Ah, young man, you are back, the food is almost cold, hurry up and eat it."
Samura did not answer, but looked at Hideo Kurokawa calmly.
Kurokawa Hideo smiled and said: "What's the matter, young man?"
Zuo Cun thought about it.
Although it seemed that the culprit was the woman, everything that was wrong pointed to the man in front of him.
That is, the village chief of Kurokawa Shimo Village, Hideo Kurokawa.
"I won't eat this meal." Zuo Cun said.
Kurokawa Hideo's smile gradually disappeared.
He stood up and looked at Zuo Cun.
"What did you say?"
"There are a lot of things wrong with this village." Zuo Cun picked up the tea cup, which was filled with warm water.
When the teacup is tipped over, the water that should have been poured out does not move at all in the teacup.
"Unless it's necessary, everything here must be illusory."
"And this meal." Zuo Cun picked up the meal and looked at Hideo Kurokawa blankly, "If I eat the meal, I will not survive tomorrow."
"Am i right?"
Kurokawa Hideo looked at this young man with no emotion in his eyes.
He sighed suddenly.
"It seems that your observation is very keen."
"It's not that I'm sharp." Zuo Cun threw the plate on the ground. What originally looked like delicious food turned out to be just a pile of dried and rotten food after the illusion was broken.
"But you have too many flaws."
"It's already 1855. Why can you still maintain your current appearance when you were over 50 years old in 1802?"
"Why is it that a deserted village during the day is brightly lit at night?"
"As long as you're not an idiot, you can see it."
Black energy appeared on Kurokawa Hideo's body, and he squinted his eyes and stared at Zuomura.
"I originally wanted you to leave some warm memories before you die so that I can talk to you again when we work together in the future, but now it seems..." Kurokawa Hideo's skin disappeared,
What appeared was a humanoid monster, "We must use some rough methods."
His appearance looked extremely disgusting, with pure black skin and wrinkles all over the surface, as if he had been soaked in water for a long time, bloated and weird.
The head and limbs were exuding black gas, and the swollen face was dripping with thick liquid.
"I actually don't think we need to fight." Zuo Cun retreated calmly, "I just heard it outside, that woman is enslaving you, right? Don't you want to be free?"
The monster transformed by Hideo Kurokawa stood in place for two seconds.
"You bastard, what do you know!"
After saying that, he rushed forward crazily.
"Tsk." Zuo Cun frowned and jumped up to avoid the monster's attack.
When I jumped up, I suddenly saw a figure standing under a tree in the courtyard.
...
Back mountain, Kurokawa Lake.
The woman who was at Kurokawa's house looked at the sky and sighed.
The giant black shadow from before was standing on the mountain peak, looking at her from a distance.
