Chapter 22 Curse
The ricket back looked much smaller than the hanging corpse yesterday, but the face was indeed the face with the tongue stuffed back into the mouth, and the blue complexion was now the same as that of a normal person.
It has a heartbeat, breathing, and is a living person.
The hanging rope was still thrown aside, and the lock on the wooden door was broken.
Even Xu Huo was a little unbelievable. He checked yesterday and found that the person was definitely dead. After one night, he actually came back to life.
The woodcutter turned a blind eye to them and turned around to continue chopping wood.
"Is he a man or a ghost?" Abel held up the cross.
"It's a human, he has a shadow." Wan Zhikang said hesitantly.
"I think he is the beheading monster last night, his grandmother's, and he dares to pretend to be a ghost!" Zhang Xiong clenched his fists and was about to rush over. Huang Junjie frowned and stopped him, looking at the woodcutter.
The rich second generation sneered, picked up a piece of firewood, weighed it, winked at Liu Yuanyuan, and the two of them walked towards the woodcutter who had his back turned to them.
"Brother, how long have you lived here?" Suddenly, Xu Huo stepped in from the side and interrupted the two of them to talk to the woodcutter.
The woodcutter turned around and saw him handing over the cigarette. He hesitated and took it, then used Xu Huo's lighter to light the cigarette. He sat on the tree stump and puffed twice before saying, "It's been many years since the villa was built."
"I think the villa has been around for a while, and no one is living in it now. You're bored living here alone, and you don't plan to go out for a walk?" Xu Huo sat down next to him.
"Why are you going out? I've never been out with my family before. Now I'm so sick that I don't have the strength."
Xu Huo glanced at his neck and said, "Now that medical technology is advanced, terminal illnesses can be cured."
The woodcutter pointed to the new grave not far away, "My daughter has been there, but she is still dead. The whole family is buried here, and I will be buried here sooner or later."
"The most important thing is that the family is neat and tidy." Xu Huo nodded, "I will stay here for a few days. If you die, I will bury you."
The woodcutter looked at him expressionlessly, and after two seconds he continued: "You are here to explore, too. I advise you to leave quickly."
"Old man, do you know the legends in the villa?" Xia Guo came over, "I heard that there is a head-beheading demon here, aren't you afraid?"
"What are the people who are about to die afraid?" The woodcutter shook his head, "You young people are very brave and dare to do anything for excitement. Let me tell you, this villa is cursed. Anyone who comes for the head-decapitating demon
All will die."
"I remember that a few young people came here not long ago, and the body was finally taken away by people at the crematorium."
Two "Gugu" sounds of swallowing saliva were heard at the scene, and Xia Guo asked: "No one cares? How can I just ask the crematorium to take it away?"
The woodcutter drooped his eyelids and said, "I can't find my head. Where can I go if I don't go to the crematorium?"
"I think you have lived here long enough. You should know a lot of rumors about the head-beheading demon. Tell us about it." Xu Huo waved to Yuan Yao and gave the woodcutter half a pack of cigarettes hidden in his body.
.
The woodcutter reluctantly accepted it, as if he didn't see the vigilant eyes of the players, and slowly told the rumors about the head-decapitating monster.
Fifty years ago, when this place was not developed, there were still some residents. At that time, the previous owner of the mountain village had bought it and wanted to open a leisure mountain village. Those families refused to leave, and they had problems with the logging workers.
There was a conflict, and I don’t know what happened. One of the people hit the axe, and his head and neck were cut off.
After the compensation was negotiated, the project that had been put on hold for a while was restarted. However, strange things happened frequently after that. It is said that there were more than ten people involved in the project, including the workers and designers, the aunt who cooked the food, and the driver who drove the food.
Everyone has seen a headless figure carrying an ax appearing nearby.
The former boss asked an expert to do it and spent a lot of money to build a stone sculpture. Unexpectedly, a worker died on the day after the ceremony was completed. He happened to be one of the workers who had a conflict with the deceased. His body fell on the tree stump.
The head is gone.
Then came the second and third people. They all died in the same way. The body was left there and the head was mysteriously missing. When the official personnel searched the mountain for the head, they saw a black shadow holding an ax throwing the rotting head into the mountain.
They put it on their shoulders, but there was heavy fog in the mountains and the shadows disappeared in a blink of an eye. In the end, only a few heads were recovered. Rumors that the villa was cursed by a head-decapitating demon spread like wildfire.
The investigation came to nothing. The expert hired by the former boss said that the deceased had been looking for the head before killing anyone. This shows that he was not satisfied with the other heads. The former boss was quick to think and carved a mask. Once the statue with a head and no face was placed,
It actually calmed things down.
Later, the former owner's business failed and he sold the villa to the current owner.
When the new owner renovated the villa, he knocked off the head of the head-decapitating monster statue. Not long after, a tourist at the villa died in the hot spring. His blood soaked in the pool, but his head disappeared.
The new owner understood the cause and effect, and looked for the head of the statue but could not find it. From then on, people died in the villa from time to time, first the guests, then the experts who came to exorcise the demons, and the detectives and police officers who came to investigate the truth.
So there were rumors that anyone who entered the villa would be cursed by the head-decapitating demon. The incident became such an uproar that no one dared to come here anymore. Even the staff quit their jobs. The boss simply closed the villa, but he didn't expect that it would lead to more trouble.
Here came some curious hunters who were not afraid of death.
"Have you seen those corpses?" Xu Huo touched his neck, "Are they really headless?"
The woodcutter stared at him gloomily, "Not only do they have no heads, some of them even have incomplete bodies."
"It's terrible!" Du Lanlan crossed his arms and said to Huang Junjie: "You are so lucky."
Players take it for granted.
With this story, the missing background of the Head-Decapitating Demon copy in the game introduction has been completed. Since the incident started fifty years ago, it proves that the possibility of this incident being man-made is very small, and there must be supernatural power.
Intervene inside.
Besides, this woodcutter looks old, but he was only a few years old fifty years ago. Even if he has been living in the villa, he cannot be a head-beheading monster.
On the contrary, his inexplicable resurrection from the dead proved the existence of supernatural power.
If it has nothing to do with the head-decapitating demon, then there is no need to kill him.
The players exchanged glances and planned to go back.
"I saw you hanged yesterday." Xu Huo suddenly said again.
The players, including the woodcutter, turned to stare at him at the same time.
Xu Huo smiled and put out the cigarette butt, "Aren't you surprised why you were locked in the wooden house?"
"How did you do it when someone who was clearly dead came back to life?"
The players present not only admired his boldness, but also looked at the woodcutter with curiosity. Maybe the NPC's resurrection from the dead is the key to their deal with the head-decapitating monster!
The woodcutter suddenly became angry, "That's nonsense, what about the dead being resurrected! I said why am I being locked up in the house when I can sleep well? It turns out it's you bastards, get out of here!"
"Don't be so angry, patient," Xu Huo stood up and said lazily, "It's not worth it to be so angry."
The woodcutter raised his ax and said, "Get out!"
