C75 The Night Eaters
C75 The Night Eaters
The entire town echoed with the old man's greeting. The hostel was the first to light up the lights. Then, the lights on the entire street lit up.
Lee Yang pulled Jee Rou and quickly retreated.
The old man slowly turned around. Under the illumination of the lights, his face looked even more terrifying.
"Keke."
The old man let out a zombie like laugh and slowly took two steps forward. "Little friend, little girl, why are you so far away from me? Didn't you say you would come to the guest house? We're here now. Let's go in. "
Jee Rou had always thought that she was brave, but now she was scared by the strange atmosphere and her face turned pale. She held Lee Yang's hand tightly and did not even dare to breathe.
Lee Yang grinned and said, "Elder, it's too late now. You yelled and woke up the people in town."
"No, I did not wake them, but informed them. Little friend, we seldom have guests in Jing Tang. Your arrival... It'll make the town pretty happy. Now, they are all prepared to welcome you. Hurry up and go in." After saying that, the old man moved to the side and the door of the guest house behind him slowly opened. It gave people the feeling that the door to hell was opening.
Lee Yang had already secretly gathered his inner energy into his palm. If there was any situation, he would not hesitate to attack.
A fat woman walked out of the reception room. She looked like she weighed more than 250 kilograms. Moreover, she was only about 1.5 meters tall. She looked like a round meatball. When she walked, the flesh on her body trembled.
She walked out with a cigarette in her mouth and a flip-flop on her clothes. She looked very much like the landlord in the movies.
"Damn old man, what are you screaming about at night? I didn't know I was going to sleep at night. I don't open the door at night. You woke me up from my sweet dream. How are you going to compensate me? " The rent woman angrily glared at the old man and said in a frenzy.
"Hehe, Sister Lan, don't be angry. Look at this girl." The old man pointed at Jee Rou after he finished speaking. The middle-aged woman turned her head to look at Jee Rou and suddenly laughed.
"En, not bad. For the sake of this girl, I will forgive you this time. Get the hell out of here. I got angry when I saw your face. "
The old man reached out his black palm and licked his face. He smiled and said," Sister Lan, I brought you such good stuff. Why don't you show me something? "
"You old man, don't be too greedy. If I hadn't taken care of you, would you have been able to live until now? Get lost immediately. Otherwise, I'm going to flip out."
"Tsk, Sister Lan, you're becoming more and more petty. If there's such a good person next time, I won't bring it to you."
"You dare?"
The old man was frightened and left timidly. However, he was still mumbling something when he left. Lee Yang's hearing was very sensitive, but he couldn't hear what the old man was saying.
Sister Lan walked over and sized Jee Rou up and down. She said, "Is it the two of you who want to stay in the guest house?"
Lee Yang nodded.
"Yes, my path is not to run around at night, and I am not allowed to do those things. I am going to sleep honestly. If you violate it, don't blame me for being impolite. Come in with me" After saying that, Sister Lan turned around and left.
Jee Rou was extremely hesitant at the back.
"Should we go in?"
Sister Lan heard what she said and sneered, "You can choose not to come in, but what will happen later? I'm not responsible. The door is open for you for one minute, one minute later. Life and death! The Heaven's Will will be in your hands."
Lee Yang looked around. There were already people moving around the town. Moreover, their destination was the guest house at the end of the town. For some reason, Lee Yang felt very uncomfortable looking at these people. Jee Rou was so scared that her face turned ashen. In her twenty plus years of life, she had never encountered such a strange thing.
Could this town be the legendary Ghost Town? Why were the people here not normal?
"One minute is up, do you want to come in or not?" Sister Lan stood in the guest house and asked, ready to close the door at any time.
Lee Yang did not hesitate. He pulled Jee Rou and walked in.
Sister Lan was very satisfied and even took the initiative to pour a cup of hot water for the two of them.
Lee Yang did not drink, so Jee Rou did not dare to drink.
"Don't worry, there is no poison." Sister Lan seemed to be accustomed to such a situation and said indifferently.
"Why did you appear here? It has been a long time since an outsider came to Jing Tang." Sister Lan lit another cigarette, but the cigarette in her mouth never stopped.
Lee Yang looked at Sister Lan and found that apart from being fat, her facial features were actually quite delicate. If she lost weight, she would be considered a beauty.
"We are lost." Lee Yang replied.
"Youth, you are still lying. There is no good result in lying here. If you want to leave Jing Tang safely, you better tell me the truth."
"Who are you?"
"Sister Lan." said Wang Yao.
"Hehe, Sister Lan," Wang Yao said. Lee Yang laughed at himself. "Sister Lan, can you tell me why the people of Jing Tang look so strange? It seemed like they were possessed by a ghost. To tell you the truth, the scene just now made my legs go soft. "
Sister Lan laughed loudly and said, "Youth, you are already considered good. I remember a few strangers who came a year ago. At that time, their situation was the same as yours. But their reactions were much worse than yours. They directly fainted, and a few of them even urinated on the spot. I'm a person who's afraid of trouble, so I locked them up outside."
" And then? "
"No, and I don't know how they are," Wang Yao said.
"Dead?"
As a police officer, she was very sensitive in this aspect. Jee Rou, who was originally scared to death, suddenly interrupted, but was rolled her eyes at by Sister Lan.
"If you think they are dead, then so be it." Sister Lan did not want to explain and said, "Okay, I am tired. You can choose any room upstairs, but remember not to open the windows at night."
After Sister Lan finished speaking, she went straight back to her room, leaving Lee Yang and Jee Rou looking at each other in dismay.
The two of them came to the door of the room with different thoughts in their minds. Jee Rou, who was originally against sharing the same room, now, she did not dare to mention that she wanted to stay in a room alone. The things that happened after arriving in Jing Tang had made her nervous to the point of breaking down, so she firmly held Lee Yang's hand and did not let go.
The room was very clean, and there was a faint fragrance.
However, after Lee Yang asked about the smell, his facial expression changed dramatically.
"Ah, I never thought that the room in this guest house would be so tidy. I can't tell from the outside." The tidy room made Jee Rou feel much better, especially the large bed which instantly hooked her sleepiness out. Just as she was about to lie down, she was forcefully pulled by Lee Yang.

"What's wrong?" Jee Rou asked in confusion.
Lee Yang did not know how to explain it. He shook his head at Jee Rou and started to search the room. A few minutes later, he took out an incense burner from the corner of the bed.
"Hey, it smells so good. Is the fragrance in the room coming from this thing? What kind of spice is it?"
" Bones. "
"What kind of animal's bones smell so good, elk? "
"Human bones."
Lee Yang opened the incense burner and took out a piece of black bone. "Human patella. I didn't expect them to do this. I roughly know what this town is."
Jee Rou almost spat it out. It turned out that the fragrance she had smelled for a long time was actually the smell of a dead person.
This did not make sense.
Especially when she saw Lee Yang putting the bone in front of her eyes to observe, Jee Rou felt like she was about to collapse.
"Quickly take it away. Why are you so abnormal?" Jee Rou covered her eyes and screamed. At this time, the sound of rustling could be heard from the street outside. Jee Rou's entire body trembled. She did not expect to encounter such a strange thing in an ordinary investigation. This place was simply not a place for people to stay. Was Ouyang Yan'er really kidnapped and brought here?
Then she would have to suffer this kind of torture every day.
He had only stayed here for an hour and was already on the verge of collapse. Ouyang Yan'er had already stayed here for more than three days.
Lee Yang put down the bones and then threw the incense burner to the bathroom. He washed it with water many times until the smell disappeared.
"The residents of this town should be the theoretically extinct Night Eater Clan. The behavior of this race during the day was no different from ordinary people, but they ate at night. And their favorite food is human flesh. " Lee Yang walked over and opened the window, allowing the smell in the room to spread out. The fragrance in the room quickly drifted outside. The people walking on the streets... They started to walk towards the guest house, and under the dim light, it could be seen that these people were pale and skinny, but their eyes were glowing with a green lustre. They were like hungry wolves in the night.
"Night Eater Clan, why haven't I heard of it before?" It was Jee Rou's first time hearing this name. "Why did you open the window? The Lady Boss told us not to open the door."
Lee Yang smiled and said, "If we didn't open the window, we would have been smothered to death by the fragrance in ten minutes. Then the Lady Boss would come in to collect the corpse. She used this method to control the people in town. She was not a good person. But I'm also curious. She isn't from the Night Eater Clan. Why does she know these things?"
Jee Rou's entire body was covered in cold sweat.
At this time, the door of the room was forcefully pushed open from the outside and the fat Sister Lan rushed in. Seeing the open window, she pointed at Lee Yang and angrily said, "Didn't I tell you not to open the window? Why didn't she listen? Since you want to die, get the hell out of here right now. "
After saying that, he wanted to catch Lee Yang. However, when he passed by the washroom, he saw the incense burner that had been washed clean.
Sister Lan's footsteps instantly stopped.
"Who exactly are you?" Sister Lan asked with a sharp gaze.
Lee Yang pulled Jee Rou behind him and slowly approached the window. "Just a nobody. But I am very curious, you are not from the Night Eater Clan. How would you know how to control this race? The Night Eater Clan should have been destroyed a long time ago, but now, they are living and reproducing here. These are all your masterpieces, aren't they?"
Sister Lan revealed a ferocious smile and said, "Kid, I didn't expect you to know so much. However, the more you know, the faster you die. Go to hell."
Sister Lan rushed over like a human cannonball, causing the entire corridor to tremble. Lee Yang's lips curled up. He threw a swift and fierce palm forward. Then he turned his body sideways and hit Sister Lan's temple with his elbow.
The series of actions were quick and decisive. Sister Lan felt dizzy from Lee Yang's elbow. She almost lost control of her steps and stumbled towards the window.
Roars came from under the window. The entire night seemed to be torn apart by these sounds.
