Salted Fish Zombie

Chapter 21

A blood-red moon hung in the black night sky, with circles of red halo spreading out.

It seemed like something was rising from every villa in Huaiyang village, converging in the night sky and solidifying into distorted struggling figures.

Faint, miserable and desperate cries echoed in the ears, lingering and never dissipating, no matter where you go in Huaiyang village.

Ning Su and Chen Qing arrived at the slaughterhouse in the chilly weather. Two piles of bonfires were burning inside the slaughterhouse.

The moment Ning Su appeared, the little ghost boy poked his head out from the small warehouse and ran towards him.

The little boy no longer walked crookedly or slouched, but his running was still unskilled, with his body leaning to one side.

It was hard not to feel a little happy when a little fellow rushes towards you the moment you appeared, even if the other was a ghost.

It should be noted that he was a very, very cute little ghost.

This was the first time the little boy did not hide in the warehouse to watch him, but ran towards him, perhaps because they had an agreement.

Ning Su was a little happy.

As he watched the little boy about to run over, the leaning body suddenly fell to the ground.

"..."

Ning Su looked carefully and saw that the little boy's eyes were still in his eye sockets. He sighed either in disappointment or relief.

Then, he noticed that something was wrong.

This time the little boy did not drop his eyes or break his little hand, but instead his mouth fell off.

"..."

Because he fell diagonally, his head also became crooked.

When the child picked up his mouth and tried to put it back onto his face, it ended up near his ear.

"..."

The child stood up and immediately ran over with his crooked head, staring at Ning Su intently.

Chen Qing looked at the messy child in shock and confusion.

As she looked at him, she felt that the scene was somewhat familiar.

The way the ghostly child was looking at Ning Su was like how the black dog in the villa looked at the bride in the red wedding dress.

The spot where the child's mouth was originally located had turned into closed skin. Ning Su extended his index finger and poked at it, and it surprisingly went inside. He felt the child starting to absorb the dark energy from his body.

His other hand went into the child's mouth from behind his ear and he was able to absorb energy from there, too.

Ning Su's eyes lit up like he was looking at a treasure. "This way you can eat in the front and drink water in the back. It's amazing!"

Chen Qing: "..."

"Um, let's start the mission now."

Only then did Ning Su stop studying the magical child and, in a rare move, held his hand and walked to the butcher on the other side.

It was not the first time they had met, and Chen Qing felt that the three of them should be somewhat familiar with each other, which made her very awkward.

Ning Su, however, did not think so.

He crouched down next to the butcher, who was carving bones, and asked, "Big brother, last time we followed you to the funeral home and saw you change the ashes of the person in the urn with those of an animal. Why did you do that?"
