Chapter 171 - The Isolated Island (15)

"Just this?" Chu Yi twitched the corner of his mouth and suddenly drew a faint smile. 

"Yes, just this." Arescio's eyes wandered around the corners of Chu Yi's lips, his eyes were deep, and he wetly licked the thin lips. "It's a good deal right? For everything that I know, just let me touch."

[Ah ah ah? Don't you want to play like this?]

[Come on, there is obviously something wrong with this mam... Like an old pervert tempting a little girl with candy, obviously up to bad things but still want to pretend to be good...]

[Ah, why does this play sounds a bit exciting! ]

[! ! ! Is this something I can watch for free? Hey, even if it's a bit greasy, he's still very handsome, I think I can! The perverted Isekai is a

till very good! ]

His eyes were full of temptation as if he wanted to directly eat him into his stomach. It wasn't the same as Ruan Quixi's usual unruliness and Chu Yi was disgusted by this.

The long-lost violent urge to gouge out someone's eyes were brought to the surface again and his finger twitched at his side.

He leaned forward, not avoiding his presumptuous gaze, but looked directly at him.

"Is It hard to not talk nonsense, don't you understand?"

Arescio was taken aback.

He saw the man lower his eyes slightly, and a loose smile appeared at the corner of his lips. He moved the incense from the small slate, skimming his fingertips over the flame.

The light grey smoke instantly dissipated into the air.

It should have been extremely hot, but there was no pain on the face of the young man.

He just pursed his lips and smiled casually:

"It's not that I can't do it."

"It's just that it's too boring. So boring, I can't even be bothered to play along."

"Arescio, do you understand now?"

The others man's eyes shrunk and he could see a flash of coldness in his eyes. Arescio looked at him silently, and after a while, he showed a broad smile again, "I do understand now, I'll try my best to make it more 'fun' for you."

Chu Yi stared at him in a silent confrontation before walking away with a twist of his head.

Ancestral Halls are generally built and maintained by the village with their funds, and it usually contains the ancestors of all the villagers. Therefore, compared with other temples, the configuration and repair of ancestral halls are generally not good, and the decoration is more grounded. It will clearly show the local folk characteristics and the simple and enthusiastic aesthetics of the villagers

But when his eyes moved to the side again, his pupils were condensed and he was a little puzzled.

It was the painting at the very center of the zenith, just above the head of the slates. It depicted a man with the head of a fish and the body of a man crouching on a rock on the top of a mountain, with the sea below it and the villagers on faintly bowing to it.

If you look at the whole hall, it is more like all the villagers and animals are saluting the painting and guarding it.

If you look closely, there was a strange and foreign inscription engraved on the bottom of the painting. Chu Yi memorized the pattern and turned his head back to the others.

The old shovel lifted into the air for the final time, the silver metal seemed to be tinged with a layer of dark red in the dim light before it slammed down abruptly into the wall! 

"Boom!–"

There was a crack, the moment the last piece of drywall was smashed, a strong sour smell suddenly radiated from the dark hole. The sour smell was so pungent, it made his eyes water with psychological tears and a fit of wretched coughs sounded from the people closest to it.

The wall-like moat was torn open abruptly!

Chu Yi stared silently at the black hole.

Suddenly, a small gray stone flashed out of the black hole and flew towards Chu Yi's face at a speed that no human could react to!

Before Chu Yi could move, his eyes darkened.

"Crack!–"

Ruan Quixi stretched out his hand and caught the gravel!

"What are you doing?" He threw down the gravel, turned his head, and looked at Chu Yi carelessly.

Chu Yi couldn't help but be slightly startled, there was still the afterimage of Ruan reaching out in front of him.

The pungent scent from the wall only got stronger and Chu Yi saw that in the deep hole formed, there were countless white bones scattered on the other side!

The bones were crooked, stacked on top of each other, without any order. Some of the skeletons were wearing clothing and judging from the color, there was no doubt that they belonged to the village, but among the bones, there were also a large number of dried-up unknown objects.

"... excrement?" Ruan Quixi frowned, "Is this a cesspit or a mass grave?"

This was the ancestral Hall of the villagers and if going by this evidence, then it could be said that these were the skeletons of the villager's ancestors. But why would they be buried in the ancestral Hall instead of in a proper tomb? 

Chi Yu stared at the bone burial pit and whispered: "These skeletons, the ones at the back have intact teeth but they also have relatively large wear and tear. It is estimated that they are between 40-60, the ones closest are younger between 12-30."

"And there are both men and women." Ruan Quixi said, "There is no obvious trauma on the body.?"

"There is dried excrement around these bones. I'm afraid they were not dead when they were thrown in but rather starved to death."

The man who did the final hit stood back and bowed at the Arescio, "Sir, I can sense the presence of life inside the hole–"

His words abruptly paused.

" Cough, cough, cough."

It wasn't known if he was choking, the man whose name was Ji Hongcai, coughed a series of times, and his face flushed like a rash:

"The hole is not deep. I hit it with a shovel, but the walls were very brittle. I shoveled off a bunch of stone chips in a few seconds. But there is a strange wet feeling about it, like cement that had not been dried, but considering the time the building was built, this should not be so."

Ji Hongcai couldn't stop coughing even after drinking a few sips of water. He faintly muttered that his throat was itchy, covered his mouth, and coughed, refusing to waste any more water.

Chu Yi suddenly narrowed his eyes, "Did any of the dust and stone get into your mouth?"

Following Chu Yi's gaze, everyone looked at Ji Hongcai, who couldn't stop coughing. When they saw the water bottle, they were surprised that it was cloudy and filled with stone sediment. Ji Hongcai's face flushed from coughing, unable to speak, and reached out to pick up the water bottle.

The man closest to him looked terrified, stared straight at Ji Hongcai, and panicked: "Ji Hongcai, you coughed up blood!"

Ji Hongcai coughed so hard that the palm of his hand that stretched out to them was blood red. The players all retreated subconsciously. At this moment, Ji Hongcai coughed to the point of convulsions all over his body, panting heavily, eyes bulging, staring at nothing in the air, his lips turning blue.

He fell to the ground before the hole, Ji Hongcai's swollen eyelids were also full of black blood, and his nasal cavity was filled with black blood dripping down his lips.

The air was silent except for the sounds of his choking screams.

The barrage was boiling! 

[Is this an infection? Why are they just standing there, why don't they bring him to a doctor?"]

[Upstairs, where will they find a good doctor on such an isolated island?]

[No, no, It's too disgusting, really too disgusting. I can't watch anymore!!]

[Should we call the authorities???]

He vomited incessantly, the red and yellow substance mixed with the rock and stone disgustingly. It was the same as the crew members that had induced vomiting, this one was more serious. In the vomit, there were pieces of black meat, it was almost as if something had burrowed into his body and was quickly eating away at his inner organs.

Chu Yi hesitated for a moment, then slowly walked in the direction bending over the convulsive body. He tried to open hid open but the man's teeth had locked together and his eyes wrinkled. Another rougher hand covered him and no one could see how he did it but In the blink of an eye, Ji Hongcai's chin was forcefully opened by Ruan Quixi.

The pungent stench spread rapidly from his mouth, causing Chu Yi's hands to shake. He quickly stabilized his emotions and looked deep into his mouth.

But Ji Hongcai had too much saliva filler with pus and blood in his throat that kept pouring out. The terrifying stench came from these red, yellow, and yellow liquids, in his vision, the liquid seemed to be filled with a few glinting scales that swum around. It seemed that the water had irritated whatever was inside his body.

Arescio stared at the man emotionlessly before suddenly pointing to someone standing the farthest away from the body, "Go in."

"H-huh?!"

Arescio looked at him coldly, " Go in and see if there is life inside the hole."

"No..no don't you see the states he's in?"

Arescio didn't speak again but Chen Zi choked and didn't say anything more. He wanted to cry with no tears.

On the murals that were hidden in the darkness, all the figures in the paintings turned their eyes that had been inked with thin brushes, twisted their eyes, and cast their gazes towards people in unison, turning their necks as they walked step by step closer to the pit, the line of sight stuck closely.

The peasant women leading their children to the market, the naughty children hiding behind the door, the villagers farming in the fields, even chickens, ducks, geese, dogs, cattle, sheep, and livestock... All the creatures painted in the murals of the hall all looked at them.

The clothes on their bodies were brightly colored, and two red blushes were painted on their yellow faces. Under the faint dim light, it appeared extraordinarily strange and cold.

It was as if the coldness of the death had silently infiltrated into the hall, spreading along with the red and black floor tiles...

Hum-

There was a gust of wind in the depths of the dark tunnel, and there was a faint smell in the wind. Chen Zi shrank his neck, the sense of crisis and fear made him dare not think about anything else. He grabbed the edge of the hole, held his breath, and tentatively stepped in.

His head disappeared into the darkness.
