Chapter 52: The Human Brother and the Ghost Brother

Until last year, Murakami's family was very harmonious.

My father is very hardworking and hardly complains when he is working in the fields. My mother is also very beautiful, and the clothes she makes are very beautiful. Even if you sell them in the nearest big town, you can get a good price.

My younger brother inherited my mother's genes. He looks very cute and has a very smart head. Everyone in the family said that when he grows up, he will definitely become a wealthy urbanite. Then the whole family can move to the city without having to work hard. and make clothes too.

Although Murakami himself is relatively ordinary, he respects his parents very much, is very filial to his parents, and likes his younger brother very much. Although sometimes he feels impatient because his parents say "learn more from your younger brother", the younger brother will also Because of this, he laughed and joked to him that he couldn't do it, but he didn't hate his brother because of it.

Until last year, when my father and mother were going to sell the finished clothes in a nearby town, they encountered robbers.

All the clothes he had made for half a year were taken away, his father was beaten to death on the spot to protect his mother, and his beautiful mother was also defiled by the robbers, raped and then killed, and died a very miserable death.

When Murakami heard the news, he was stunned and didn't recover for a long time.

What made him even more unacceptable was that his younger brother was hit on the head due to excessive fright and blows, and he became a dementia from then on. His original smart head was completely gone, and he even became bedridden, unable to even eat. Ask Murakami to feed it himself.

Murakami was hit hard for a time, and even thought of taking his younger brother to throw himself into the river.

But at that moment, the man appeared.

"What a pity, let me save you."

The man arrived under the moonlight, dressed in the clothes that only people in big cities would wear, imported from the West, with a white top hat that didn't stain a trace of dust, and blood-red animal pupils.

He is very handsome, there is no blemish on his handsome facial features, and his voice is also very nice, people will subconsciously think "this man may be even more beautiful than the most beautiful person recorded in history books" 'impression.

Then, the man turned his younger brother into a ghost.

Originally, he thought that his younger brother would be able to regain his previous sanity and health, but Murakami was horrified to find that the result was not as good as he imagined.

The younger brother's head has not recovered, he still looks like a dementia, only the body has become very healthy.

But this health comes at a price.

He developed an uncontrollable desire to eat people, and on the day he became a ghost, he ate up all the five members of the family at home, and let the blood stain the whole house.

Murakami wanted to stop him at the time.

But he didn't in the end.

Although the younger brother has become a ghost, he is his last family member in this world after all. Although he eats people, Murakami still has no way to blame him, no way to stop him.

"My brother is too strong, I can't stop him at all."

At that time, Murakami found such an excuse for himself in his heart.

He didn't even realize that his younger brother's gradually expanding body after turning into a ghost, his extremely ferocious appearance, and the blood stained on his body had actually been deeply imprinted in his memory.

Immediately afterwards, the man who turned his younger brother into a ghost left.

Then, within a month, a man who could manipulate dreams came to this village, and through beautiful dreams, he controlled all the people in this village—everyone who dared to resist was eaten by him.

Murakami was no exception, surrendering to that man's knees.

In the dream, he could see his younger brother, who was still a normal person, who was extraordinarily friendly to him, without any ugliness, hideousness, and horror after becoming a ghost. He could also see his parents who were still alive, and the family was still living happily in Together, they even moved their families to the city.

He was not willing to give up such a beautiful dream, so no matter what order the ghost manipulating the dream gave him, even if it violated his original intention, he did not refuse after all.

In addition, his younger brother was also subdued by the opponent and became the opponent's subordinate, so Murakami had no reason to refuse.

"If you refuse, my brother will definitely be killed."

Murakami convinced himself with such reasons.

As a result, the members sent by the ghost killing team twice were all overwhelmed by him with chopsticks. The first person was unwilling to take refuge in the evil spirits and was eaten by his brother; It was taken.

Immediately afterwards, he welcomed Liu Xia, who was not older than his younger brother, but who was unexpectedly wary, the third member of the Ghost Slayer Squad.

…………

In the house at night.

"That's all I know."

Under the faint light of the oil lamp, Murakami lowered his head, explaining all the causes and consequences to Liu Xia.

His complexion looked very complicated, with five points of guilt, three points of unbearable, one point of avoidance, and one point of fear that appeared faintly.

"The mysterious existence that can turn people into ghosts...could it be the 'ancestor of ghosts' mentioned in [Unnamed Spirit Foundation]?"

Lucia thought silently.

Ghosts are not rootless duckweeds, mysterious creatures without any origin.

In fact, all ghosts, including in history, have a true source, that is, the "ancestor of ghosts" and "king of evil ghosts" who have existed since a thousand years ago and have been alive until now.

It is shown in [Common Sense] that the ghost king not only can achieve immortality, but also possesses unrivaled power, and even has the ability to turn others into ogre ghosts.

All the ghosts in the world were born by his hands. They were transformed from human beings into evil human-eating ghosts, whether they are ordinary ghosts, alien ghosts, ghosts with blood ghost skills, or even rank-and-file ghosts. All the powerful evil spirits in the 'Twelve Ghost Moons' were created by him.

For more than a thousand years, although the Ghost Killing Squad has killed countless evil spirits and hundreds of ghosts that are constantly updated in the "Twelve Ghost Moons", they have never been able to kill the ghost. ghost king.

The hatred between the ghost king and the ghost killing team has lasted for countless years, and they have long been mortal enemies that they can't wait to get rid of.

However, the existence of the ghost king is not the point now. Although he is powerful, terrifying, and has the ability to create evil spirits, he is not here after all. The focus now is on the evil spirits hiding behind this village who can control dreams, and——

"Didn't you try to stop your brother from eating people?"

Lucia looked at Murakami, her amber eyes stared at him tightly, not letting go of the slightest reaction on his face.

"That's okay, isn't it?"

Murakami was uncomfortably stared at by him, turned his head unconsciously, avoiding his gaze, and said, "I can't stop him with my strength..."

"Yes, I understand."

Lucia nodded, her interest in Murakami gradually began to decrease.

This man is very unconscious.
