Atachi and Ogata took turns taking a bath and changing into the clean monk robes provided by Sokai, and it happened to be almost evening.
And Zong Hai and the others are almost ready to prepare dinner for tonight.
Neither Ogata nor Atachi have studied Buddhism, so they don’t know what kind of Buddha is enshrined in the Buddhist hall of Tenmanji Temple.
The back of the Buddhist hall is connected to the back hall.
The back hall is where Zong Hai, Xian Hai and the two of them usually live.
On the east side of the Buddhist hall is a vegetable patch.
The well of Tenmanji Temple is located next to this vegetable patch.
On the west side is a small ancestral hall with a closed door. I don't know what is worshiped inside.
Ogata and Omachi are now sitting on their knees in a small room in the back hall.
In front of the two of them was an iron pot that was being roasted by flames and steaming out.
Fragrant vegetable porridge is cooking in the pot.
On the other side of the iron pot, Sokai and Hiankai were sitting opposite Ogata and Omachi.
Zonghai looked at the vegetable porridge in the pot, and after confirming that it had been cooked, he extinguished the flame under the iron pot, and then smiled at Ogata and Atachi:
"Two donors, please have a meal."
Since arriving at Tenmanji Temple, Ogata and Omachi have always been extremely cautious.
When drinking water from the well in Tenmanji Temple, first check whether there is any problem with the bucket used to draw water and the well water.
While taking a bath in the bathroom, they checked to see if there was anything unusual about the bathtub and the monk's robes Zonghai provided them.
Ogata and Amachi also did not dare to be careless about the meals Sokai provided them.
The two of them did not use the bowls provided by Zong Hai and others to serve the porridge, but used the bamboo tubes they saw in the village today to make ends meet.
These bamboo tubes have been cleaned with water from the well of Tenmanji Temple.
After serving Zonghai and his group's porridge in bamboo tubes, Ogata and the others were not in a hurry to eat. Instead, they saw Zonghai, Xianhai and the others feasting first, and then they dared to eat with confidence.
Naturally, the two of them did not dare to use the chopsticks provided by Zong Hai and the others, but because they were eating porridge, they could still eat without chopsticks.
Zonghai and Xianhai seemed to understand Ogata's behavior of not using their bowls and chopsticks and only daring to start eating after seeing them drink the pot of porridge.
Zonghai and Zonghai, who understood Ogata's behavior very well, did not say anything and allowed Ogata and others to go their own way.
After pouring a few mouthfuls of warm porridge into his mouth, Zonghai smiled at Ogata and Atachi:
"You two, you can slowly ask us questions now. Let's chat while we eat. Xianhai and I will definitely answer all the questions we can answer."
As soon as Zong Hai finished speaking, Ah Ding asked quickly:
"Please tell me what happened to this island? How did those cannibals come here? Do they really know how to eat people?"
Atachi asked 3 questions in a row.
Atachi received an order from the leader of Shiranui and came to see the true identity of the "ogre".
So she cares more about those cannibals than Ogata does.
Zonghai did not show any impatience in response to the three questions that Ating asked in one breath. After pouring another mouthful of porridge into his mouth, he said calmly:
"I don't know where these Rakshasas...the cannibals you call come from."
"In order to make it easier for you to listen to my story, I will change the name of those monsters to your usual name for them - cannibals."
"About 2 years ago, the cannibal suddenly appeared."
"The first cannibal appeared in Fengji Village."
"An old man in Fengji Village died of a sudden death - this is a very common thing."
"However...a very unusual thing happened to this old man..."
"He was supposed to be out of breath, but he stood up again after a few breaths."
"When he was resurrected in front of everyone, his eyes turned purple."
"Then he started attacking people around him like crazy."
"You mean..." Amachi hesitated, "that old man turned into a cannibal after he came back from the dead?"
"That's right." Zong Hai nodded, "You two have encountered cannibals today, and you should already know some of the characteristics of cannibals."
"Ogres have no expressions or language."
"They are always expressionless and silent."
"They cannot be killed no matter how hard they are killed, and they are tireless and will attack all living people within sight crazily."
"Fortunately - they will only attack living people, and will not attack other living creatures except living people."
"And the animals on this island just die normally after they die, and they will not come back to life and become unkillable animals."
"Although you outsiders call them 'cannibals', they actually don't eat humans."
"They will only use their teeth, fingers, and feet to attack the living creatures within their sight range, and they will not stop until the living creatures are dead."
Hearing this? Ogata and Atachi couldn't help but recall the corpses covered with tooth marks and scratches that they saw in that village today.
"Because they couldn't kill the old man who had turned into a cannibal, so the villagers of Fengji Village could only use fishing nets to seal him up."
"It's a pity...this is just the beginning."
"Since this incident? Villagers in all the villages on this island will definitely be resurrected as long as they die."
"And after resurrection, he will become a cannibal."
"But that's not the scariest thing."
"The most terrifying thing is that later the villagers discovered that not only the dead would be resurrected and turned into cannibals."
"Even living people can turn into cannibals."
"The process of a living person turning into a cannibal is even more bizarre."
"The sign that a living person becomes a cannibal is vomiting like crazy."
"Many people were fine one moment, and then suddenly started vomiting violently the next moment."
"After vomiting until almost all the bile was vomited, his eyes turned purple, and then he turned into a cannibal."
"Can even a living person turn into a cannibal?" Ating felt a little chill in his heart.
"I don't understand why everyone turned into cannibals. I don't know how to kill cannibals." Zong Hai continued, "Sprinkle salt, mince corpses, burn them with fire, and attack with licensed weapons... In short,
The islanders tried every trick they could think of and failed to kill even a single cannibal."
"The villagers are gradually losing control of the increasing number of cannibals."
"So, those who were still alive had no choice but to notify the government and seek help from the government."
"The government also attaches great importance to this matter."
"Immediately sent a large number of troops to the island to destroy the cannibals."
"However, as expected, the army sent by the government was defeated."
"Even the army is helpless when faced with an unkillable monster."
"The army that can't do anything to defeat the cannibals? The whole army withdrew from Butterfly Island."
"When evacuating the island, the government officials did something... quite cruel."
A wry smile appeared on Zong Hai's face at this time.
"When evacuating the island, the government officials destroyed all the ships and shipbuilding tools on the island."
"At the same time, we have no intention of bringing everyone on the island to the mainland."
"In this way, all the boats of the islanders were destroyed, and then the islanders were abandoned on this island."
"The government officials destroyed all the ships on this island?!" Ogata, who had been listening quietly since just now, widened his eyes.
"That's right." Zong Hai nodded, "The officials probably think that the reason why people on this island turned into cannibals is because they were infected with a special disease."
"So in order to prevent the spread of the disease, it was decided not to allow any islanders on the island to leave the island."
