Chapter 480 - 482: It is a Demon

Chapter 480: Chapter 482: It is a Demon

The old lady once again started to display anxious behavior; she wrung her hands indecisively and said, "I don’t, I don’t know, I don’t know what you’re talking about."

And her behavior only made Shao He and the others more suspicious.

The group of them stayed put for the time being as a torrential downpour soon began outside.

Shao He stayed in the room to administer acupuncture to the man, while the rest followed the old woman outside.

Shao He’s movements were swift, and after administering the acupuncture, the man on the boat slowly came to.

Seeing the people before him, he retreated in shock and let out a terrified scream.

"Don’t come any closer. Don’t kill me, don’t kill me!"

He huddled in a panic at the foot of the bed, trembling as if he were facing a flood or a ferocious beast.

Hearing her son speak like this, the old lady hurriedly rushed to the bedside to comfort him.

She cried out, "It’s all right, it’s all right, this person is a Doctor, she won’t kill you, she’s here to save you."

Encountering such a strange scene, Shao He grew even more curious, what secrets, after all, were hidden within Nameless Village?

Pei Hanze also felt that all this was related to Nameless Village; it was just that the old lady dared not speak of it.

"What do we do next?" Shao He looked up and asked the person beside her.

Pei Hanze voiced his concern, "Nameless Village must be fraught with extreme danger, are you sure you still want to go there?"

"I have to find Pei Huaian. If he’s alive, I want to see him, if he’s dead, I want to see his body. Otherwise, I will never rest," Shao He said, her eyes shining with determination.

Pei Hanze was stunned by her resolve, and only after a moment, he slowly said, "If that’s the case, we’ll continue on our way after the rain stops."

The old lady just happened to come out and, overhearing their conversation, ran up to them and said, "No, you can’t go."

Shao He arched an eyebrow and countered, "Why not?"

Clenching her teeth and with tears streaming down her face, the old lady explained, "Because there is something terrible in Nameless Village, it... it’s a demon."

"A demon?" The crowd showed looks of confusion.

The old lady wiped the tears on her cheeks and nodded, "Living Bodhisattva, you shouldn’t meddle so much, a person as good as you shouldn’t die in there."

These words were not meant to be said by the old lady, yet her heart couldn’t bear the thought of such a kind woman dying like that.

Shang He walked over, supported the old lady, poured her a cup of hot tea to steady her nerves, and said, "Old lady, don’t worry about us, we won’t die. Instead, we will destroy those demons."

"Really?" asked the old lady, hardly daring to believe it.

"Of course it’s true. Moreover, I’ve come to understand your son’s illness, but at the moment, I don’t have the necessary herbs with me. I will write down a prescription for you; go to the town to get the medicine."

After finishing, he took out paper and pen, quickly wrote down a prescription for an herbal remedy, and gave it to the old lady. He instructed her to ensure the man took the medicine on time, three bowls of water boiled down to one, taken continuously for seven days for a full recovery.

The old lady took the piece of paper and said excitedly, "Thank you so much, thank you."

The rain outside also happened to stop just then, and Shao He patted the old lady’s hand, "You must take good care of yourself, we’ll come back and see you again."

"Okay," the old lady said, holding onto her hand reluctantly, but her gaze drifted to Yun Hua in the corner.

As Shao He and the others left the cave, the old lady looked at their departing figures and murmured softly, "I’m sorry, I’m so sorry."

In another place, Ah Mo had been asleep for three days and three nights, and in his dreams, he heard strange noises by his ear.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak..."

Ah Mo tried to open his eyes but found he couldn’t wake up, though he was acutely aware that he was asleep.

"Caw, caw, caw..."

Listening to this grating noise, he couldn’t help but feel his scalp tingle and goosebumps rise.

"Caw, caw, caw..."

The sharp, piercing sound still reverberated around his ears, and Ah Mo’s face turned pale, sweat dropping from his forehead

Suddenly, a cold voice from afar jolted him awake from his sleep.

"Bring the person here."

Ah Mo slowly turned his head to look, and only then did he realize he was lying in an open space, not far from some kind of ritual taking place, with each person wearing a mask and holding a torch.

Two children around seven or eight years old were shoved in front of the Man in Black Robe. The kids’ faces were ashen, their eyes empty and lifeless, their voices produce only indistinct sounds.

"Ah—"

The children’s parents desperately threw themselves over the child, crying and shouting, "Oh my child, our poor son!"

"Please spare him, please, we’re begging you..."

"I don’t want to live anymore, I can’t let my child die..."

The villagers also knelt down begging for mercy.

Over the years, seeing the children become like walking corpses, they wished they could die in their stead, but this was the result of their own greed.

Ah Mo watched the scene with a dark gaze, feeling that the children seemed to have been dosed with drugs, turned into idiots who could only scream.

He vaguely sensed that a vast power was involved in this.

"Take all the children down," said the Man in Black Robe coldly, waving his hand for the soldiers to take the two children away.

The villagers’ cries kept ringing in his ears, but powerless to stop what was happening, they could only watch as the innocent children were taken away helplessly.

"Ha ha ha..."

The strange, grating laughter echoed throughout the island, frightening the villagers into trembling.

The Man in Black Robe walked over, looking down on Ah Mo from his higher position, and said with a cold smile, "You seem calm, but you will become one of those children."
