Chapter 152 Piranha
When Lin Hun found time to explore the fishing village again to process the node, most of the houses were empty of villagers, leaving only a handful of ashes.
"Brado's strength is really good. He can delay for such a long time."
Lin Hun had no shame at all and decisively blamed Brad for wasting his time.
Along the way, we saw several disemboweled bodies of villagers in remote houses.
It seems that because their souls are too weak, their consciousness cannot withstand too many nightmares. Most of the internal consciousness and core souls have dissipated, leaving only the body as a shell, heartless and desireless like a vegetative person. Due to the rules of dreams, the body can recover again and again.
Therefore, Lin Hun's action of burning the mark to liberate the villagers did not work on them, and his body still imprisoned those weak consciousnesses.
Seeing the bodies of the villagers that had obviously been disemboweled, Lin Hun squatted down to check and made a new discovery.
"With such obvious burns, are there villagers using fire in this environment?"
Lin Hun found coal powder under the corpse. Although he didn't know where it came from, it was obvious that the villagers had their own way of making fire.
"Oh, it would be nice if there was a fishman by my side, I could ask him about the situation."
The number of surviving fishmen is getting smaller and smaller. They have also discovered that the dead villagers have not been resurrected. The loss of their greatest support has cast a huge fear on the hearts of all the villagers.
The villagers avoided the forest soul like underwater fish fry. Whenever the forest soul arrived at a place, they would quietly evacuate and hide to another side.
Perhaps they thought they were hiding well and moving quickly, but Lin Hun's mind was as clear as a mirror and he could sense everything.
"If he runs away, he runs away. It has nothing to do with you guys anyway."
Because they did not hinder his actions and in order to avoid Ahai's situation from happening again, Lin Hun did not rashly catch a villager to ask about the situation as he did before.
Muttering to himself, Lin Hun inserted his fingers into the open abdominal cavity of a fishman. His brows suddenly locked as he paused. He pinched his index finger and thumb, and a flame appeared. Then, with this faint light, Lin Hun bent down and carefully looked at the mark on the abdominal cavity.
"The muscle rupture is obviously not natural," Lin Hun used his fingers to pry open the gap between the muscles and found dark brown iron filings inside, "It was cut by humans."
"No, it's more than that! There are not only traces of cutting, but the cross section of the muscle is obviously torn!"
His fingers lifted up the fat and muscles. Although he already had the answer in his mind, Lin Hun still wanted more evidence to prove his guess. The exposed bones became the most powerful evidence.
"Sharp tooth marks were clearly found on the buried bones."
Lin Hun clenched his hands, flames flashed, and the corpse in front of him began to burn. Although he didn't know whether it would help the remaining soul inside to rest in peace, Lin Hun naturally decided to do a good job when he agreed. By the way, he used the flames to clean the black blood and slippery grease on his gloves.
However, Lin Hun's brows had been furrowed since he began examining the bodies. The results of the body examination were very obvious, showing that cannibalism had occurred in the dark corners of the village.
From entering the village to observing the internal situation to what has happened now, Lin Hun has begun to regret agreeing to the priest's request directly.
"Most of these villagers are no longer human and are totally unworthy of being saved. Fortunately, I met a few who have shining points and can give me some comfort."
With the help of the firelight, Lin Hun tried to find the traces of the piranhas. He was confident that he could find them as long as there was a trace. Unfortunately, a layer of ash on the floor near the corpses revealed their whereabouts, and his idea of finding the cannibals and executing them came to nothing.
"You're lucky it burned quickly."
"Every failure is a learning experience. Next time I won't agree to someone's request so easily."
Lin Hun can now connect the situation of the machete-killing fishman Ahai and what he discovered.
Perhaps the machete fishman Ahai was relegated to guarding the gate because he was vaguely aware of the villagers' cannibalism. However, during the time they spent together, Lin Hun could feel that Ahai's rationality and character determined that he would never participate in such cannibalism.
The villagers involved in the incident had no way to easily deal with Ah Hai under the care of their fathers, so they could only exile him to the outskirts of the village to guard the gate. This way they don't have to worry about being discovered and they have an extra guardian, so why not do it?
Lin Hun's subsequent itinerary was not limited to houses with nodes. Even if there were no nodes, he would kick the door open without any hesitation.
"Alas - there is no way, who can make me kind?"
Along the way, Lin Hun actually discovered other disemboweled corpses. Fortunately, they only existed on the periphery and did not spread to the center. Otherwise, Lin Hun really wanted to find Kos to capture the souls of the fishmen back into the core and torture them for dozens or even hundreds of years.
But what was depressing was that every time a corpse was found, there were a few more handfuls of ashes next to it. These fishmen had been freed long before Lin Hun arrived. Lin Hun began to doubt, "How come these guys were freed so quickly because they knew I was looking for them? Are the less human the luckier they are?"
Lin Hun obviously sped up the journey afterwards. He completed the three steps of kicking the door, looking through the hole and starting the fire in one go. His efficiency increased rapidly. Although the piranhas were not found, the ordinary villagers suffered. They kept moving, listening to the reports from the villagers who were investigating and looking for places to hide. Most of the villagers had lost their machetes and harpoons somewhere in the hasty transfers.
"Gulu?" (This damned hunter, why hasn't he left yet?)
"Gulu." (I don't know, he looks like he's looking for something.)
"Gulu?" (He didn't hurt anyone, did he?)
"Gululu." (With everyone here, who can he hurt? For some reason, everyone spontaneously combusted.)
"Gu." (If you ask me, spontaneous combustion is not bad. Looking at their expressions, they don't seem to be in any pain at all. It's not bad that they are relieved like this.)
"Lu!" (Do you believe what they say? It doesn't hurt at all?)
"Gugu." (Otherwise, that's what my cousin told me.)
"Gu?" (Then why don't you try?)
"Gululu." (Forget it, I don't want to become a grilled fish.)
. . . . . .
Leaving aside the situation of the villagers, Lin Hun has successfully broken all the nodes during this period of time, and even swept back and forth three times to ensure that no corpses were left. He has truly done his utmost.
"Okay, I've done what I should do, and the priest's commission is almost complete. I won't stay here any longer. Now I have to find a way to leave. I remember Kos told me that the seal to leave is at the end of the village entrance."
