    Chapter 20

    ===================

    Fan Yichen glanced at He Nuochen, who was trembling with fright, and Ji Zexi, who seemed to be out of the way.

    He guessed that the latter's physique might be even more special than he imagined.

    After walking around the small rooms, did find a few clues, but was still confused.

    "Let's go back to the living room first and discuss the next step."

    He Nuochen nodded obediently, and Fan Yichen also followed into the living room.

    "Do you know where Ji Wencai is from the southwest?" he asked suddenly.

    After Ji Zexi finished the story, He Nuochen replied, "I remember that place is quite special. What is it called Pu? I don't know the word in front of it."

    Fan Yichen continued: "I know, it is Baopu Village."

    Ji Zexi just wanted to speak, and considering that He Nuochen was by his side, he had to wink Fan Yichen and motioned for him to continue.

    "I also read in the book that this village has a bad habit of eating human flesh, and it has to be the flesh of relatives."

    "Eating human flesh?"

    Ji Zexi repeated unconsciously.

    He didn't speak loudly, but he still frightened He Nuochen, and patted this and that on his body, to see that there was no less meat.

    He Nuochen thought of Ji Zexi's performance in the guessing session of "Food Romance", that everything can be eaten, and said in horror: "Senior! Even if you are hungry, you, you can't eat people, this is against the law! "

    Ji Jersey: "..."

    How wild is he in He Nuochen's heart?

    "I didn't want to eat you, I just suddenly thought of a village." Ji Zexi finished reciting Fan Yichen's words, and then changed his words:

    "But I'm really hungry, and I don't know how long I'm going to sleep here. If we can't get out, what shall we eat?"

    Ji Zexi's amber apricot eyes were particularly bright against the moonlight.

    He Nuochen shivered in his heart, this is a threat, definitely a threat.

    This person is suggesting to him that if he doesn't obey, he will eat himself to satisfy his hunger.

    After staying in such a supernatural environment for a long time, even the legal awareness has become weak.

    He Nuochen has no doubt that Ji Zexi will kill him.

    He bit his lip, no dignity, face, or revenge was as important as life.

    "Senior," He Nuochen said solemnly, "I swear I will never target you again. If I have good resources in hand, I will share them with you. Can you help me and let me go out alive?"

    "But I don't have that ability either."

    Ji Zexi is a little embarrassed, he can't protect himself, how can he protect others.

    He Nuochen thought that he wanted to increase his chips. He must have a way to be so calm in this situation.

    "I can guarantee that the members of my group will not trouble you in the future, and I will also give you an endorsement in my hand."

    Ji Zexi still wanted to refuse, Fan Yichen said, "Promise him, everyone is so sincere in sending resources, are you embarrassed to refuse, and with me here, you are not afraid of not being able to get out."

    Ji Zexi felt like something was wrong, but he still obeyed: "Well, I promise you."

    He Nuochen breathed a sigh of relief, often walking by the river, how could he not wet his shoes, this time he really got into a ruthless character.

    Knowing that he would lend him ten courage, he would not dare to provoke Ji Zexi.

    After the simple episode, Fan Yichen continued to tell what he had read in the book, "This is a superstitious saying in the villages in ancient times: eating the meat of a wife can increase luck; eating the meat of children can increase wealth. ; Eating the flesh of brothers and sisters can be substituted for them.”

    Instead...

    Ji Zexi thought of the weirdness at home and the relationship between the two brothers, and had conjectures in his heart.

    All the answers should be on that blacked out wedding photo.

    Ji Zexi asked He Nuochen for the room key, stood on the bed in the bedroom, and scraped down the crayon coating on the photo little by little.

    The traces left by the years are not so easy to remove, but a familiar face can still be pieced together from the gray-black paint.

    "Isn't this Boss Ji? What's the matter? He and his brother are twins?" He Nuochen denied it by himself after speaking, "No, I remember how many years off in the data."

    "In some remote mountain villages, the phenomenon of patriarchal preference is still very serious." Fan Yichen said suddenly.

    Ji Jersey has a bad guess.

    Sure enough, Fan Yichen continued: "So there are far more men than women there. In remote areas with little legal awareness, sharing wives has become a common phenomenon. Moreover, they believe that children born to the same woman are more closely related by blood."

    "So, Tan Hui was originally Ji Wenkang's wife, but because of the village's bad habits, she was pushed to Ji Wencai?" Ji Zexi added his own guess after relaying Fan Yichen's words.

    He Nuochen's eyes widened in shock, "It's no wonder Ji Wencai cheated so frequently. Since we want to pursue excitement, we should follow through."

    Ji Zexi shook his head again and again for He Nuochen's strange brain circuit.

    Little did he know that his own brain circuit was even stranger.

    The general relationship between the main characters has been clarified, but the cause of their death is still a fog.

    Is it really the grievances said on the gossip, or is there another secret.

    Now it is known that they have the bad habit of eating the flesh and blood of their relatives to enhance their fortunes. The scalpel in the cabinet is probably used to cut meat.

    What utensils caused the scratches on the table?

    "Ah, senior be careful!"

    Ji Zexi was caught off guard and fell to the ground, and there was a sharp sound of breaking wind in his ears.

    "Mummy what is this!"

    He Nuochen slumped on the ground, watching a black figure with a twisted neck wielding a sharp axe.

    The originally scarce moonlight in the house was completely obscured by the thick fog. With the sudden drop in temperature, He Nuochen got goosebumps on his body.

    The white cloth that fell to the ground moved automatically without wind, shrouding the air in strange shapes, like invisible people who used the white cloth as clothes and danced in pairs in the room.

    Tables and chairs also joined the carnival. Everything in the house seemed to be free from the shackles of gravity, and all floated in mid-air from the ground.

    The familiar music came to my ears again, still the familiar pitch change, intermittently as if there was a kind of magic, making people deeply immersed in it.

    "I wish you...birthday...happy...happy...happy...you...happy..."

    Ji Zexi looked at Fan Yichen with a dignified face, and He Nuochen with a terrified face.

    I don't know if I should tell them, I didn't see anything.

    The music in the ear was mixed with the noisy electric sound, which was disturbing to hear.

    Ji Zexi found that the greeting card originally placed on the desk fell to the ground at some point.

    Maybe it was the wind, Ji Zexi thought.

    Then he picked up the card, closed it, and pressed it against the lamp on the desk.

    Can't fall off this time.

    The harsh blessing song came to an abrupt end.

    Interrupt spellcasting.

    Fan Yichen knew that he had been dragged into a special space by the filth, but before he could figure out how to crack it, everything was back to normal.

    He looked at Ji Zexi not far away, and the greeting card under the lamp.

    Fan Yichen: "..."

    There are also benefits to being invisible.

    He Nuochen, who escaped from the weird space, was still in shock. He didn't know the reason, but only knew that the shadow disappeared as soon as the music stopped.

    Then he saw Ji Zexi standing next to him indifferently.

    At this moment, he seemed to see Ji Zexi's back shining golden light, this is the life of the gods.

    "Senior!" He Nuochen climbed over and hugged Ji Zexi, "I apologize for all my disrespectful behavior before! Thank you for your life-saving grace, I will follow you in the future!"

    Ji Zexi, who had never experienced anything, said blankly, "It's not necessary."

    Fan Yichen coughed and reminded: "We got a message that the marks on the table were caused by an axe."

    "Is there a possibility?" Ji Zexi guessed: "After Tan Hui was forced to marry Ji Wencai, he was stimulated by his frequent cheating behavior, coupled with the influence of the house feng shui, resulting in a short-term mental disorder. The axe chopped Ji Guo, and Ji Guo faced the pursuit of her biological mother, she couldn't accept it, she was scared to death."

    "It's also possible, but I don't think it's that simple." Fan Yichen always felt that he was missing something.

    He Nuochen directly turned into Ji Zexi's fan brother, "Senior is right, this must be the truth."

    Ji Zexi suspected that he was also stimulated and became mentally ill.

    "I have a risky idea," Fan Yichen said, staring at the bathroom doorknob, "The bell has to be tied to untie the bell. Let's release the filth that was tied up, and we'll know what happened back then."

    When Ji Zexi heard that he had to deal with filth again, his scalp tingled, but there was really no better way, so he nodded.

    Seeing him nodding, He Nuochen thought he had a countermeasure, "How about senior, is there a way to get out?"

    "There is a way, but it's a bit risky, you must be obedient."

    He Nuochen nodded quickly, he was not obedient at the moment, did he not want to die?

    Fan Yichen asked the two of them to stand near the wall, tore off a few strands of hair and twisted them into a strand, and then took out a small piece of red thread. This thread looks extremely slender, a bit like it's used when embroidering cross stitch.

    He braided his hair and red thread together, burned it with the talisman paper, and then threw the burning talisman paper in the direction of the doorknob.

    In He Nuochen's eyes, a spark suddenly floated above the doorknob, and then two black shadows suddenly became apparent.

    "Ah, senior, that shadow has come out again!"

    Ji Zexi patted his shoulder and reassured: "Don't panic, it's alright."

    probably.

    He Nuochen had an unprecedented sense of trust in Ji Zexi.

    As for Ji Zexi, he didn't see anything, of course there was no pressure.

    At first, the two groups of black mist seemed surprised that they were able to move, and stood there blankly.

    Fan Yichen took out two more spells and hit them, forcing them to repeat the most memorable things they did in this room during their lifetimes.

    I saw the dishes and scalpels in the cupboard automatically fly out in rows and land neatly on the table.

    Ji Wencai's ghost overwhelmed Tan Hui's ghost on the edge of the table, picking up a scalpel in one hand and sliding it over Tan Hui.

    He Nuochen could only hear some indistinct noises, but Fan Yichen could hear it a little more clearly.

    Ji Wencai, who used the scalpel that cures and saves people for such sinful things, muttered while cutting: "This piece...for father, this piece...for mother, this piece...for brother..."

    The ghost's time is speeding up, and after tens of seconds, the plate is already full of black mist cut from Tan Hui's body.

    "It's done...you're done, it's my turn..."

    He Nuochen saw an astonishing scene, and Ji Wencai also cut the black mist off his body, piece by piece, like a side dish, and put it together with Tan Hui's.

    He heard Ji Zexi say that the family has a bad habit of eating human flesh, but he didn't expect it to be so crazy that he didn't even let him go.

    "Guoguo... Guoguo is here, it's Guoguo's turn."

    While speaking, Ji Wencai had already found under the desk, he ignored Ji Guo's struggles, and saw that the sharp scalpel was about to slash him, Tan Hui rushed over, "Use mine, use mine, don't hurt him , please don't touch my child."

    The voice ended abruptly.

    Immediately afterwards, the black mist suddenly dispersed into the air, and then re-condensed into shape, as if switching to the next scene.

    Tan Hui's ghost stood by the balcony and muttered to herself: "Why did you do this to me, if only I hadn't married him, if I hadn't come here, it would have been fine, if I hadn't had fruit, I'd have had nothing. If only I could leave here alone, it would be fine without Guoguo..."

    In the room, the young Ji Guo stood on tiptoe, blackened Ji Wenkang's face in the wedding photo, and stubbornly painted it over and over again.

    The screen changed again, this time Tan Hui and Ji Guo were sitting at the dining table.

    "Baby, today is your fifth birthday, happy birthday to you!"

    "Mom, is this year's birthday only the two of us?"

    Ji Guo didn't understand, she was obviously the child of her mother and father, why did her mother hang up the wedding photo she took with Uncle Wenkang.

    Dad gets upset every time he sees a wedding photo.

    So it's good to paint Uncle Wenkang. Dad can't see Uncle Wenkang, so he will accompany Guoguo on his birthday.

    "Your father is too busy to accompany our mother and son."

    "But Dad made it clear last year that he would accompany Guoguo on his birthday this year, Mom?"

    Ji Guo suddenly put on a weird smile when she saw her mother, who always had a bitter face.

    "Guo Guo, you don't want your parents to always fight, right?"

    Ji Guo nodded subconsciously, "Guo Guo doesn't want to."

    "Then Guoguo, do you want mom and dad to live happily together forever?"

    Tan Hui's voice was different from before, revealing a gloomy air, but the young Ji Guo couldn't tell the difference. He only knew that the little friends in the kindergarten, the parents, were all friendly, never like his family. Such a quarrel.

    So he firmly said: "Guoguo wants to."

    Then he saw the familiar mother, showing a very unfamiliar face, "Then sacrifice yourself to me!"

    Fan Yichen found that Ji Guo's soul body looked behind Tan Hui, what was there?

    He suddenly thought of an extremely crucial question.

    The use of flesh and blood to increase air transport is actually a kind of sacrifice. The difference is that ordinary sacrifices are directly worshipped, while flesh and blood sacrifices are sacrificed after being swallowed into the belly and worshiped by themselves as a medium.

    In that case, what did the Ji family's long-term flesh and blood have been dedicated to?

    The author has something to say:
