Chapter 251: This Place Is Unclean!
“Da Le Da!!”
The little devil patrol team, which had always been in a state of nervous tension, was startled by the sudden noise and reflexively pulled the trigger in the direction the sound came from.
Bang bang bang~~
The gunfire exploded in the quiet night, attracting the surrounding little devil patrol teams and also startling the surrounding people awake from their sleep.
The timid ones trembled in fear, shrinking themselves under the covers, not daring to check at all.
Those with a bit more courage peeked out through the gaps in the windows.
“Good thing I have the habit of pressing their sleep acupoints before coming out, otherwise, just this noise might have woken them up.”
Through the just-completed test, he was even more certain that these little devils had obviously made prior deployments just to catch him, the murderer.
“But so what? In my eyes, you’re nothing but a flock of lambs waiting to be slaughtered.”
Cao Weida revealed a playful expression like a cat toying with a mouse, glanced at the patrol team rapidly running this way, then quickly darted to the top of an alley and hid.
As the little devils quickly ran past the alley, he flung flying needles at the two at the rear.
Puff puff~~
The two faint sounds of bodies falling did not attract the attention of the little devils running ahead; after all, the noise from running was not small, and those not looking back simply didn’t notice.
“Haya gu!!”
“Kua qi!!”
Patrol teams of little devils from the surroundings rushed over at the fastest speed, quickly moving toward the direction from which the gunfire came.
Moreover, they did not run randomly but almost completely blockaded all the surrounding intersections.
Cao Weida ignored this; after confirming safety, he jumped down, stored the little devils’ corpses in space, then quickly climbed back onto the wall and smoothly ran along the rooftops under the cover of night.
In no time, he came behind another patrol team, killed two little devils the same way, stored the corpses, and then targeted another squad.
After doing this repeatedly and killing eight people, Cao Weida clapped his hands. “About enough, time to go back and sleep holding the concubines!”
“Hmph hmph, think that being prepared in advance means I can’t do anything to you?”
“Sorry, Master Cao here has gotten stronger again!!”
What he didn’t know was that the subsequent development caught him off guard.
While Cao Weida happily went home to sleep holding women, the little devils surging from all directions had already arrived at the place where the gun was fired.
“Sheep Shit-kun, where is the enemy!”
“Sorry, Dog Shit-kun, it was just a cat.” Sheep Shit-kun replied full of apology, making Dog Shit-kun glare furiously.
“Baka yarou, Sheep Shit-kun, your courage is too small! As a soldier of the Great Japanese Empire, you actually got scared by a cat and fired!”
The surging sergeant little devils also condemned Sheep Shit-kun; they thought they had encountered the enemy, but it turned out to be this result!
After venting their anger, these sergeants planned to count their men and return to their original patrol routes.
But as they counted, four patrol teams noticed something wrong.
Dog Shit-kun was among them.
“1, 2, 3, 17, 18… Hmm?!” Dog Shit-kun suddenly paused, incredulously counting again:
“1, 2, 3, 17, 18”
Upon confirming it was still seventeen, Dog Shit-kun was completely dumbfounded: “Nani?! Where are the other two soldiers?!”
A clever one said: “Officer, maybe they went to the toilet?”
Dog Shit-kun thought it made sense, but before he could nod, a little devil sergeant not far away shouted:
“Baka! Why are two missing!!”
“Nani?! Your team is also missing two!?”
“Mine too! Baka, what’s going on?!”
Dog Shit-kun’s face froze; even if he was stupid, he knew something seemed off.
Four teams, each missing two people—impossible they all went to the toilet?!
He felt a bit panicked inside and urgently shouted:
“Baka! Quickly go back along the original route to search!!!”
The other three teams reacted too, hurriedly leading their men back.
The remaining little devils looked at each other, then at the pitch-black street ends and alley tails around, and for some reason, their hearts suddenly felt hairy.
“O-Officer, something seems wrong…” A little devil in Sheep Shit-kun’s patrol team said with a trembling voice.
Sheep Shit-kun gulped hard, suppressing his inner unease, and scolded: “Don’t talk nonsense, what’s wrong with it!”
“Maybe the warriors went to the toilet or fell behind while running!”
“But it’s impossible for four patrol teams to all have people fall behind,” that little devil said with a crying tone, his eyes constantly scanning the pitch-black street ends and alley tails beyond the streetlamp light, his face full of anxiety, clearly terrified.
“Last night a whole squad mysteriously disappeared without a trace, and today four squads each lost two people, yet no one in the entire squad noticed, Officer—this is definitely not right!!”
“Don’t talk nonsense! It’s just someone playing tricks! Don’t scare yourself!”
Though he said that, Sheep Shit-kun the sergeant’s own legs couldn’t stop trembling.
It couldn’t be helped that they were overthinking; these soldiers were just lowly people, and though they had received systematic education, it was only elementary school level.
Forget elementary school—even university education, what of it? Facing such eerie events, who wouldn’t feel chills?
For ghosts, gods, and such, the island country was extremely prevalent with such beliefs; after experiencing this bizarre scene, how could they not associate it that way?
What is the most terrifying thing in the world?
The unknown!!
Facing the unknown, people generate fear, and fear often leads people to associate toward even more terrifying things.
Sheep Shit-kun’s self-deceiving words obviously had little persuasiveness.
Fear spreads; as the little devils passed fear one by one, all the little devils began to feel uneasy inside.
After the four teams searched a circle and found not even a hair of the missing two, when they returned here, this fear completely erupted.
“Ah!! Mama! I want to go home!!”
“Wah wah wah~~ Damn it, how can people disappear for no reason!!”
“It must be an evil spirit; this place is unclean!”
“No, I want to leave here, I want to leave here!!”
Even as the sergeants tried their best to persuade, once large-scale panic formed, how could a few comforting words calm it?
What’s more, those sergeants themselves were quite uneasy inside.
Thus, the little devils’ fearful emotions rose even higher; the next moment, many little devils directly threw their guns on the ground and ran crying toward the army camp direction.
This was serious; as said before, fear spreads, and people have a herd mentality—one does it, countless others imitate.
In an instant, countless little devils followed in running, and the scene instantly became chaotic.
Seeing their men run, the sergeants were also influenced by the fear and couldn’t care to stop them, quickly following toward the camp.
In less than five minutes, the place that had just been bustling with voices left only a mess of discarded firearms quietly lying on the ground.
The bold people who saw all this were dumbfounded; they couldn’t understand Japanese, so naturally they didn’t know what they said or what happened.
They just saw the little devils jabbering something, then crying and wailing, and then throwing down their weapons and running.
“What’s the situation?” A people peeking from behind the curtains scratched his head, utterly confused.
But it also made their hearts faintly feel hairy.
The ferociously wicked little devils actually collectively scared into fleeing in panic.
Aside from seeing something that terrified them, there was no other explanation.
Thus, the next day, when Cao Weida arrived at the police station for roll call, he heard a piece of news that left him dumbfounded.
Duomen mysteriously said: “Cao’er, let me tell you, something unclean has appeared in Beiping!”
“Something unclean?” Cao Weida was stunned, then trembled in fear.
He somewhat believed in ghosts, gods, and such.
After all, transmigration had happened—what was impossible?
He asked somewhat panicked: “What exactly happened? Who encountered something unclean?”
No wonder he panicked; as the saying goes, those who stand by the river often get wet shoes—he frequently went out at night to kill, and if that thing really existed, he might bump into it anytime.
Though among humans, he was already invincible in one-on-one with cold weapons, that was only against carbon-based beings!
If encountering something outside that scope, even he felt apprehensive!
“The little devils encountered it!” Duomen said with glee at their misfortune:
“To tell you, this happened not far from your Sesame Hutong.”
“Let me tell you, you heard the gunfire last night, right?”
“Ah, yeah, what about it?” Cao Weida’s heart suddenly felt hairy—goodness, could the unclean thing have been on that street last night!
His heart pounded; if so, he was really lucky not to have encountered it.
Duomen said: “Because of that gunshot, a hometown fellow was woken up, then secretly peeked out through the curtains.”
“Guess what, lots of little devils ran to Drum Tower Alley Hutong, and the hometown fellow vaguely heard an extremely shrill, knife-scraping porcelain bowl-like miserable laugh that made one’s heart hairy just hearing it.”
“Then, those little devils were scared into howling; one or two wished their parents had given them fewer legs, threw down their guns, and ran.”
“Those guns were left on the ground, and the people going out early in the morning all saw them!”
