Because I'm a Coward, I Maxed Out My San Value

Chapter 138 Nightfall

A very shabby old house, everything was normal, but there was no human touch, as if it had been vacant for a long time. There was a living room at the entrance, and a bedroom on each side, nothing else.

The furnishings were also very old, homemade furniture, basically no modern things, and there was an earthen stove, which should be connected to the earthen kang inside.

The dog woman took them into the bedroom on the left hand side, where a table of sumptuous meals had been set up, which was enough for them to eat. Ye Tingbai felt very strange.

"That mother-in-law, do you have guests to entertain?"

The dog woman did not turn her head, but just glanced at him.

"It's prepared for you, eat it, and go to bed early after eating."

They were obviously on impulse, and the village should have been abandoned a long time ago, why would someone prepare food in advance?

Meat soup, pork elbows of unknown species, stir-fried pork slices, stewed ribs, and a pot of meatball soup, the whole table of food exuded a rich aroma. Ye Tingbai was still able to restrain himself, and the other four children had already sat at the table and started to eat with relish.

The dog woman sat on the earthen kang and looked at the few people with a smile, looking very satisfied.

Ye Tingbai really didn't understand it, but he really didn't dare to eat these things in front of him, but his inner desire was constantly expanding, and his hands began to reach out to the table. Ye Tingbai instantly switched his personality and told the secondary personality that he must not eat it.

The secondary personality had no resistance to food. It stands to reason that when he saw this table of food, he should definitely be unable to resist it, but the secondary personality behaved very strangely. He hated these foods and stood there motionless.

The main personality that retracted his body gradually returned to normal, and he asked.

"What's wrong with you?"

Subpersonality: "I feel these foods are disgusting. Is there something wrong with me?"

"It's not you who has a problem, it's these things. Even if ordinary food is delicious, it can't have this kind of appeal. What kind of ingredients are these made of? It smells so good."

But fortunately, the dog woman watched the four children eating with relish, as if she was satisfied, and didn't care what Ye Tingbai was doing at all. The table of food was swept away by the four elementary school students, leaving nothing behind, and even the gravy on the plate was licked clean by the little fat boy.

After the food disappeared, these people returned to normal, and the dog woman didn't make trouble, just told them to go to bed, and not to open the door no matter what they heard at night. There were only two rooms, and Ye Tingbai was naturally with the four children.

At night, the four children slept particularly sweetly. They were scared in the last second, and fell asleep in the next second. Ye Tingbai had a general look before entering the house. The village had no electricity and maintained a relatively primitive life. The dog woman also lit a kerosene lamp.

After several people fell asleep, the house fell into a strange silence, without a trace of movement. The main personality was a little sleepy and fell asleep, leaving the secondary personality who didn't need to rest at all to keep watch.

Even if Ye Tingbai didn't control his body, he still needed to rest on time. When he was watching, it was more like watching a movie, which also required mental consumption, but the secondary personality was different. He had never rested since he appeared. He was like a perpetual motion machine, completely tireless.

Occasionally resting together at night was also their bodies that needed to rest, not the secondary personality, so even when asleep, the secondary personality could maintain the greatest degree of vigilance, after all, his perception did not rely on the five senses of the body.

Twelve o'clock midnight

There was a rustling sound of footsteps in the living room outside the house. It was very light, not like a human or a dog. The main personality was awakened but didn't make a sound, but the other children were sleeping soundly. The people outside the house seemed to be looking for something. After fiddling for a while, they pushed the door and left.

Ye Tingbai didn't dare to go out, so he had to poke a hole in the paper-pasted window and look out.

The gate was locked, the dog saddles were gone, not a single dog was there, and the secondary personality also said that the old lady had no heartbeat, at least he couldn't hear it, and combined with the black spots on her face, she looked like a dead body.

Judging from this situation, the dog lady took the dog out. What was she doing in the middle of the night? Was she going back to the cemetery?

The cold moonlight illuminated the dilapidated yard, which had an indescribable sense of desolation. The wooden door had long been corroded, and the vegetable field next to it looked like no one had cleaned it for a long time. Only the area near the doghouse was relatively clean.

There was a thick layer of dust on the ground, which was very strange. You know, this kind of floating dust should only be seen in a room with less air circulation. After all, it would be easily blown away by the wind outside.

It was because of this floating dust that Ye Tingbai could still see their footprints before. He carefully distinguished the footprints on the ground and felt a little strange.

There were only five sizes of footprints. Where were the footprints of the dog and the dog lady?

They were so noisy in the yard, but they didn't leave a single footprint. The more Ye Tingbai thought about it, the colder his back felt. At this moment, a blood-red eye blocked the hole in the paper, and the two looked at each other through a thin layer of window paper.

Ye Tingbai's adrenaline surged at that time. He raised his palm and a dagger, which took less than a second to materialize successfully. He was so scared that he stabbed it out. The dagger pierced the eyes of the person outside through the hole in the paper, and even splashed blood on Ye Tingbai's hand.

No screams were heard. The bloody eye outside had disappeared. He pulled back his dagger and saw that it was covered with foul-smelling black blood.

Secondary personality: "Look at the color of this blood and the feeling of bursting. This person has been dead for a month."

Ye Tingbai couldn't help but sigh.

"What kind of place did these little ancestors choose?"

This world is a bit weird. There are no pollutants. The same is true for the dog woman. There is no pollutant smell. Except that she looks like a dead person, there is nothing abnormal. The weirdest thing is the suppression of Ye Tingbai by this world.

He has tried to create a "door" to let himself leave here, but failed, which means that he is now trapped here.

But Ye Tingbai did not panic. He still remembered Si Youxu's advice to him that he should not use brute force to deal with any pollutants, but to find rules, master rules, and use rules.

Impatience is a taboo.

Moreover, the time flow rate difference between the spiritual world and the real world is at least dozens of times, so he doesn't have to worry about spending too much time here.

He did not go out. Perhaps the dog woman's warning was true, and he really didn't need to go out at night, so he lay down and fell asleep again.

At six o'clock the next morning, it was already bright, and several children woke up. They only realized that something was wrong with them at this time.

The little fat man rubbed his head.

"My head feels heavy. Didn't we take photos yesterday? How come I fell asleep directly?"

Dividing line

Today begins the Second Era

The Second Era

All humans in the First Era were destroyed in the God War, and the native gods relied on humans. The foreign gods didn't want to see humans, such an interesting toy, become extinct.

So the Fantasy Dreamland began to interfere with reality, and the new humans multiplied rapidly, and soon developed smoothly into modern civilization.

Due to the co-sleeping of the native gods and the foreign gods, the people of this era were the least reverent. They promoted materialism and advocated that everything could be explained by science. All things that science could not explain were just because our science was not developed enough.

In this environment, human technology progressed rapidly, and war-peace-war cycled back and forth.

The materialistic race made the power of the native gods weaken continuously, and the Fantasy Dreamland began to be unstable. Many humans could contact the Fantasy Dreamland in dreams, and even contact foreign gods, becoming fanatical believers of foreign gods.

So the world began to derive a worship fever, materialism was completely overthrown, and a large number of humans tried to enter dreams to seek true knowledge.
