Chapter 96 Village Past (eighth update)

Through the observation of the first meeting and the words of Granny Chicken, Yi Chen temporarily obtained the result as [harmless]. He can try to communicate with Granny Chicken to obtain key investigation information.

 However, there is still a problem that needs to be solved before communication - gold.

Yi Chen looked up to the top, but he still didn’t see Jin sliding down from the top.

　　『Strange, according to Jin’s character, he should have followed him immediately. 』

at this time,

 Grandma Chicken said while touching the golden round chicken in her arms:

"Your friend was sent to the next door. She probably doesn't like communicating with others, and prefers killing... Why don't I ask her to help me clean up and capture the outgoing villagers during this time."

 “Villagers?”

“I asked the children to set up many traps around them. As long as villagers come here, they will fall into them if they are not careful.

This is limited to some stupid viviparous villagers.

I still won’t do anything to the people in the church~those guys are quite dangerous. "

“A large number of villagers have disappeared in your area, aren’t you afraid of being discovered?”

“A large number? No, the viviparous villagers I captured do not even account for [1%] of the total base, and these villagers are waste products that the church does not care about, and it does not care about their death or disappearance at all.”

"Um…"

Yi Chen nodded slightly. It seemed that the following conversation with Granny Chicken would indeed get enough effective information.

 At this time,

 Grandma Chicken’s wrinkled forehead began to undergo strange changes. The originally normal wrinkle lines gradually evolved into dozens or hundreds of ‘small sections’.

  To be precise, it should be [eye slit]

Immediately afterwards, the inside of the eye slits began to squirm, and they opened one after another.

Yellow chicken eyes with black pupils are all over Chicken Granny’s forehead, and each blinks at a different frequency.

this moment,

 The little grape inside the body also immediately became excited, "Wow!" Bunches of chicken grapes! I really want to eat it. It will be delicious if you skewer it with bamboo skewers and pass it through water.

 When the use value of this guy is wiped out, let’s eat it! 』

Yi Chen did not respond, but quietly observed the changes in Granny Chicken.

 These eyes of Granny Chicken seem to be able to visually connect with the chickens outside.

 After some movement of the pupils, the chicken’s eyes all closed.

“It seems that no one from the church is coming with us... We can have a good communication.

However, the time for our communication must be controlled within ten minutes, otherwise the cult will still be suspicious of your whereabouts and may find me.

 Let’s make a long story short~

The reason why we came here is very simple. I hope you will eliminate all infected people in the village of Shebolt, especially the church personnel who deliberately led us to become infected.

 If you are willing to help,

I will provide as much information as possible and let my children help in the dark. "

“Wait a minute…what do you mean by intentionally leading you to get sick? Are people in the church spreading pathogens?”

Chicken Granny changed her words and said, "It's not about spreading pathogens, it's about leading us to violate the rules."

 “Breaking the rules? Can you elaborate?” This is consistent with Yi Chen’s initial guess.

“A gentleman like you should be well aware of the rules of our village.

  The rules are very strict on [birth control] in villages, and to some extent they also restrict the development of livestock, the most important aspect of the village.

However, we also rely on such rules to greatly reduce the probability of illness among villagers, and everyone is barely living a good life.

 But a few months ago, a group of people called themselves [New Life Church] came.

They claim to have a brand-new set of rules that can not only eliminate diseases, but also ignore fertility restrictions and promote the development of livestock farming in villages.

They did not know how to directly convince the village chief and build a church on the hillside in the east of the village. "

　　【Eastern Hillside】Yi Chen carefully wrote down this important information.

“At first, the villagers did not believe in such outsiders. But under the persuasion of the village chief, a group of young villagers began to be led to the church. After returning, their thinking completely changed.

 A female villager who had been unable to conceive for many years became pregnant on her own shortly after returning from church.

 It only took one month to complete the normal birth, and gave birth to a healthy and lively little guy without following the rules of birth time.

 There were also elderly couples who were older than me. They seemed to regain their youthful vigor after going to church, and they also became pregnant soon after.

There was even a white pig that was brought to the church, became pregnant without any contact, and gave birth to more than 20 healthy and normal piglets in less than half a month.

These signs were regarded as [miracles] by the villagers.

Gradually, more and more villagers stopped obeying the rules and began to go to the church to be baptized... When they returned, they began to let the domestic animals mate and breed wildly.

But I have always scorned this and regarded this group of outsiders as a cult.

Of course, there are a few people in the village who hold the same idea as me and do not want to have any contact with the church.

Until one day, I, an old man who often has trouble sleeping, accidentally discovered that the village chief was pouring a pot of turbid liquid containing a dead baby into the only well in the village in the early morning hours.

 Before we could escape from the village, the village chief began to carry out the final cleanup.

He did not force-fed well water into our mouths, nor tied us to church...but directly beheaded the stubborn people who we deemed to be hopeless and unwilling to accept a new identity.

 The village chief grabbed me by the hair and dragged me to the backyard.

　He was beheaded under the watchful eyes of the ‘children’…”

 When speaking of this,

 The smiling chicken mother-in-law raised her head, revealing a clearly visible wound on her neck.

“When I regained consciousness, I was dragged to an open space outside the village by the children, and my head was reattached.

The forest is filled with a gray mist that I have never seen before. It is like a fluid and feels very friendly to the touch...I know very well that it is this gray fluid that makes me come back to life.

Since then, I have been able to communicate directly with the children, and with their help I can avoid villagers who go out on patrol and rare and dangerous church members.

 Later, I found this big, strong tree, reached a symbiotic agreement with it, and built a chicken coop for me and my children underneath.

 As long as I eliminate the sick people in the village and the people in the church, I will feel completely at ease. "

"Um."

Yi Chen nodded slightly,

While listening to Grandma Ji's story, she also stared into her eyes the whole time. Although she didn't notice anything unusual, Yi Chen still had some doubts.

 First of all, there is an ‘important gap’ in this story.

 The death and rebirth of Granny Chicken just skipped the most important events of forest graying and high wall formation... What exactly happened during this period is very important for the subsequent investigation.

Furthermore, Chicken Granny has not had any contact with the cult, and the relevant information still requires in-depth investigation.

Furthermore, the theory that Granny Chicken survived by chance is a bit far-fetched, and the reason why she stayed here was not given.

"I have a question,

Since the village has changed beyond recognition, why does the mother-in-law insist on staying here?

With your current ability, you should be able to take your children out of the inner area surrounded by tree walls by digging into the ground, or even away from the forest, to find a safer place to stay.

 Why do you have to confront the church at the expense of these children?

  Or even take greater risks to seek cooperation with us? "

Chicken Granny still had a smile on her face and said while stroking the golden-feathered chicken in her arms:

“Because, when I was dragged to the backyard by the village chief and others, I was not the first one to be beheaded.

I have a good boy at home...The village chief cut off the boy's head in front of me. I have not cared about life or death for a long time. The only thing I care about is this child. "

As he spoke, Granny Chicken's eyes all opened on her forehead, and her expression became more ferocious. She actually exuded a frightening aura that was close to that of a seriously ill person.

The golden-feathered rooster held in the palm of my hand also began to stir.

 The golden chicken feathers slowly parted,

The 'round' body actually reflects a human face... In other words, this is not a chicken at all, but a human head, and the golden outer feathers are hair.

 The head of a girl,

 There is no emotion visible between the cloudy pupils,

This is the only relative in Granny Chicken’s family, her niece who has just turned nine years old.
