Chapter 40

Goodbye Foreign Object Society

Inside the house, Ji Que pinched the unconscious Third Sister Lin and slapped her face. After seeing that it had no effect, he could only pour a bucket of cold water on Third Sister Lin.

It was only then that Sister Lin woke up suddenly, shivering in the approaching winter weather.

When Ji Que saw this, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Sister Lin, you finally woke up, but you scared me to death. I thought you wouldn't wake up."

"Well, don't be afraid. I'm a decent and good person. It was my mother-in-law who struck first when she got sick. This is considered self-defense."

Upon hearing this, Third Sister Lin trembled even more.

"Third Sister Lin, can you understand what I'm saying?" Ji Que was afraid of scaring the eldest sister, so he couldn't help but said pleasantly.

Third Sister Lin looked horrified, nodded frantically, and said, "Please, don't kill me."

Ji Que felt depressed again.

How do you make yourself look like a big bad guy, just like forcing an honest person? I'm obviously the victim, okay?

However, Ji Que finally relied on his sincerity to move Third Sister Lin and convinced her that his mother was responsible for all this.

"Also, your mother is probably not human anymore. I am friends with several demon conquerors, so I know a little bit about this."

Village Chief Lin's body was placed in the hall. The shoes on his feet had fallen off, and his broken neck had a face with a kitchen knife embedded in it, but there was no blood.

Looking at her mother's death, Third Sister Lin burst into tears, and finally couldn't help but burst into tears.

In the words of Third Sister Lin, she had actually discovered something was wrong with her mother a long time ago.

Whether it's his increasingly thick chin or his sleepwalking demeanor at night, it's all terrifying.

Since her mother became very strange, she tried many methods and even went to a Taoist temple on the mountain to ask an old Taoist priest for help.

As a result, after collecting the money, the old Taoist priest glanced at her mother from a distance, showed an expression that was more terrifying than seeing a ghost, and ran away in an instant.

Third Sister Lin caught up with her and grabbed her. It was only then that the Taoist priest said in a panic: "Your mother believes in unclean things. Sooner or later, she will grow into a scourge that is neither human nor ghost. There will be endless troubles for her.

Before she completely loses her humanity, she can only be poisoned and then burned to ashes."

Third Sister Lin, who always paid attention to filial piety, pushed the Taoist priest to the ground on the spot, said he was talking nonsense, and went straight back home.

At first, she thought her mother just had a brain problem and she could just take care of her. After all, there were a few crazy old people in the village.

But later on, she discovered that her mother had gained more and more fat on her chin even though she hadn't eaten much. She began to like wearing those embroidered shoes that she didn't know where they came from, and she felt more and more that what the Taoist priest said might be true.

But years of being together day and night and fear prevented her from taking action.

Until now, when her mother died here, Third Sister Lin seemed to be relieved. She kept thanking Ji Que, saying that he was not only a legitimate self-defense, but also a righteous man who helped her family get rid of the disaster.

Just thinking about the death of her mother, whom she had been with day and night, she was afraid that her life would be bleak in the future. Third Sister Lin felt sad for a moment, could no longer control her emotions, and burst into tears.

Ji Que comforted him: "Third Sister Lin, Village Chief Lin will understand your painstaking efforts and filial piety. Maybe burning her to ashes will be a relief."

Hearing this, Third Sister Lin cried even harder.

In the early morning, Ji Que left Linjia Village and took away his strange pair of embroidered shoes.

Of course, the villagers all saw him like a god of plague and only dared to watch him from a distance.

Alas, good people are always easily misunderstood.

This pair of embroidered shoes seemed to be alive and new. Ji Que tried to burn them with fire, but found that they could not be burned.

Not only did they remain intact in the fire, they even became more beautiful.

So he could only tear the embroidered shoes to pieces by force. During the tearing process, he even had the illusion that what he was tearing was fresh human skin.

It was at this time that he discovered three ancient seal scripts embroidered inside the shoes - Foreign Object Society.

"Another foreign body meeting?"

Ji Que took out the unknown ring finger from before, compared it, and found that the fonts were exactly the same.

This surprised him a little.

The unknown ring turned the old woman in Sangshui County into a non-human being, and the pair of embroidered shoes caused a terrible change in Village Chief Lin.

What kind of existence is this foreign object?

According to the old woman in Sangshui County, she had this ring ring many years ago. This theory is actually more likely to be an accident.

But what about Village Chief Lin’s embroidered shoes?

According to what Third Sister Lin said, it had only been a few months since Village Chief Lin picked up these embroidered shoes.

In other words, the "Foreign Object Society" has been active, at least in recent months, killing Village Chief Lin.

Ji Que put the vamp away.

After arriving at Tianren City, I'm afraid I have to go to Master Lingyu and others to confirm this matter.

He always felt that the foreign object would be an unknown and terrifying existence.

Just like this cloudy sky, it gives people a depressing feeling.

But bad luck is bad luck, at least the comprehension bar has increased by another level.

Ji Que has already begun to think about what he should learn next to make himself more hexagonal.

It was so terrible last night, he was almost successfully attacked by the old woman.

After Ji Que said goodbye and left Linjia Village, Third Sister Lin took her mother's body to the wasteland outside the village and lit a fire.

The Dasheng Dynasty always liked burials, and burning corpses like this was considered a great act of unfilial piety, so Third Sister Lin did it very secretly.

The blazing flames quickly devoured Village Chief Lin's body. I don't know if it was because of the thick grease on his face, or for some other reason, but the flames burned the entire body very strongly.

Third Sister Lin looked at this scene and was a little distracted for a moment.

She didn't see the old woman lying there in the fire, with a deep cut on her face, laughing at her.

It took Ji Que almost a month to travel from Sangshui County to Tianren City.

In this month, he not only experienced ninety-nine and eighty-one, but he also suffered a lot of bad luck.

The most unlucky among them should be the tall evil thing encountered in Yutianhuang Temple and the strange village chief encountered in Linjia Village.

Because they all made him smell danger. Among them, the village chief was killed by him, but the tall evil thing did not kill the whole family.

Ji Que couldn't help feeling that he was still too weak. If he could be ten times stronger, he could send the evil thing home that night.

Go back to your hometown.

Of course, what he saw most along the way was the wilderness.

The vast expanse of wilderness has few human traces except for uneven roads.

This is completely different from the feeling of modern society in previous generations. Here, every town is like an isolated island. People gather on the island. The vast majority of people will never leave their hometown island once from birth to death.

At the back, as we got closer to Tianren City, the surrounding scene gradually became more lively.

The originally desolate road gradually became bustling with traffic, with merchants and pedestrians coming in an endless stream. Rows of buildings were built according to the terrain, diluting the previous desolate scene.

Looking at this scene, Ji Que knew that Tianren City was not far away, and his whole mood became happy.

After walking through the vast tracts of desolation, he realized the preciousness of the smell of fireworks in this world.

Compared to this vast and desolate world, there are still too few humans.

"It's finally here."

Ji Que looked at the engagement letter and half a moldy sesame seed cake in the package and couldn't help but sigh.
