Chapter 211: Cruelty Still
The first three of the four props.
They are all natural treasures.
Maybe every world has similar things, and Kotonoha was just lucky enough to collect them.
But the last amulet.
But it shows that there really are masters in this world, at least there were in the past.
Wu Xian had a ghost-head knife and didn't really need a weapon, so he gave the peach wood sword to Sun Qian and the Eiichimonji to Shi Ji.
Sun Qian took it gratefully, holding the sword and began to perform the martial arts moves he had seen on TV.
Shi Ji held the samurai sword as if it were a treasure. The sword gave him a familiar yet unfamiliar feeling, like an upgraded version of "Boy's Urine An Gang", which made him feel as if he had returned to the glorious days of the Ghost Shadow Hotel.
As for the remaining amulets and dried apricots.
Wu Xian took them all himself.
These things could only be obtained with the help of Wu Xian's treasure hunting skills. Let alone giving them less, even if he gave them nothing, they would not be able to find fault with Wu Xian.
The amulet will be effective as long as you carry it with you, which is equivalent to avoiding death.
As for the dried apricots, Wu Xian had no plan to eat them now. Although this thing was a prop with special effects, no one knew whether eating dried apricots would lead to being parasitized by ghosts in the stomach.
Wu Xian continued to flip through his notes, but was disappointed to find that most of the content was blacked out, with only a few scattered words left.
"It seems that the big demon that Kotonoha is going to deal with has some secrets that he doesn't want others to know..."
Based on the scattered information in the notes, Wu Xian was able to make some simple guesses.
The big ghost on the island probably wants to use the blood of the Yan family to complete some ritual. Yan Ye realizes the truth, so he collects magic weapons everywhere to resist the big ghost.
His resistance failed.
But it also made it impossible for the big ghost's plan to be completed.
Now that Yan Ting has returned to Wonder Island, it might be the plan of that big ghost. He wants to use Yan Ting to complete the failed ritual ten years ago...
Put down your notes.
Wu Xian reached out his hand towards Yan Ye's body.
The rest of the room had been searched, and now only the body had not been searched.
"hiss!"
Wu Xian withdrew his hand as if he had been electrocuted.
As soon as he touched Kotonoha's body, he felt a chill and a stinging pain.
"No wonder Kotonoha died on the humid island, but his body did not rot, but turned into a mummy. There is a lot of ghosts and evil spirits left on his body. Not only do snakes, insects, rats and ants dare not eat it, even bacteria and fungi will not breed..."
Wu Xian prepared himself mentally, and endured the pain as he groped around on the corpse, eventually finding two incomplete portraits.
He placed the two portraits in a specific location, then closed his eyes and recalled the two portraits that his family members had obtained before.
After a moment, Wu Xian pieced together a vague image in his mind.
"It's King Yama!"
Those fragments of the portrait all came from the same portrait of King Yama!
But the portrait shows the black-robed King Yama, while the Yan family worships the red-robed King Yama. What is the difference between the two?
Wu Xian shook his head.
He couldn't figure it out for a moment, so he got up and rushed back with Shi Ji.
They still have a lot of work to do tonight.
So the time left for them to hang out outside was very short.
They had to burn corpses, discuss tactics, make sure all cameras captured the ghosts that had been photographed, and then divide into groups to deal with the ghosts that had not been photographed...
It's too late to go back, there's not enough time.
"I hope that when we get back, someone will be able to resist eating... otherwise I won't be able to resist eating either."
……
When Wu Xian and the other two returned to the lobby on the first floor of the hotel, they found that a dispute was going on there.
"No, absolutely not!"
Yan Bingbing stood in front of Miao Shi, glaring at everyone with her almond-shaped eyes.
Cameraman An Haisheng stood aside, at a loss, while Liao Yifang stood aside with his head down, folding his arms and not participating in the argument. Others stood opposite Yan Bingbing.
Old Lady Liu advised earnestly: "Hey baby, let the boy at the back eat something. He is seriously injured and needs to replenish his energy."
Miao Shi was still lying in bed with red cheeks, obviously suffering from a fever and coma.
Yan Bingbing shook her head: "No! Once he eats, he will be parasitized by the ghost in his stomach. Feeding him when he is unconscious is equivalent to killing him, isn't it?"
Lou Yaozong sighed: "But he is already so sick. If you don't give him food and medicine, how long can he last?"
Yan Bingbing was silent.
Everyone was looking at her, which added to the pressure on her.
On the surface.
This discussion is about the life and death of Miao Shi.
But in fact, everyone discussed it.
Should we sacrifice the useless living people in the team to make life better for everyone?
Miao Shi has now become a burden. Not only can he not provide any help to others, he will even hinder them. So it is better to sacrifice him and let him be parasitized by the ghost in his stomach...
That way, everyone can eat.
The ghost in the stomach has not appeared, and everyone has not eaten or drunk for a long time. Even Wu Xian can't stand it anymore, let alone the others. If they continue like this, they will be wiped out before the ghost comes to kill them.
But Yan Bingbing didn't want to do such a thing.
Han Ke sneered: "He will die anyway. Do you think dying of starvation or disease is better than being killed by a ghost?"
Yan Bingbing was shocked.
She looked up at everyone and couldn't help but sigh.
In fact, she knew very well what option was best to maximize her benefits, but she just couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart.
She hesitated for a long time, looked into everyone's eyes, and finally agreed to their request.
"At least... let me feed him."
Wu Xian, who witnessed the dispute, sighed softly.
He did not participate in forcing Yan Bingbing, but he was also looking forward to this result in his heart.
Evil spirits and ghosts are indeed scary.
But hunger, thirst, injury and illness are just as terrible!
It's not just ghosts that can kill people, and it's not just evil spirits that hunt humans...
……
After Miao Shi ate something, his condition improved visibly.
Before, fearing for the evil in his heart, Yan Bingbing only dared to give him some external medicines, but now she can feed him some oral medicines.
"Cough, cough..."
Miao Shi choked and woke up slowly, then found that everyone was looking at him.
He was touched and was about to thank everyone for saving him, when he suddenly felt a sharp pain. The pain seemed to make his eyes feel better.
"My belly...my belly!"
A human face suddenly bulged out on Miao Shi's belly, and the ghost in his stomach laughed wildly and ferociously.
"We meet again."
"You guys are so cruel, hahaha..."
The ghost in the stomach mocked them wantonly, but after the harassment of the first night, everyone had become immune to the ghost's trash talk. They ignored the ghost's foul language and directly tied up Miao Shi.
Miao Shi looked desperate, he didn't even understand what was going on, Yan Bingbing could only try her best to comfort him.
For others, the most important thing now is...
It’s time to eat!
They first rushed forward to pick up the water bottles and drank gulps of water, and then everyone started to work together to heat up the food as quickly as possible.
The meals that Yan Ting brought were all portable and could be eaten after simple heat treatment.
Just when everyone was starving and waiting for the food to be heated up, they suddenly heard a shrill scream coming from the pot!
