Chapter 1224 If there are endless rats hiding in this house, where are they?

Lin Chen walked into the village and saw several old people sitting under a big banyan tree smoking and chatting.

He walked over immediately.

Several old people also saw Lin Chen.

They all looked at Lin Chen up and down several times because they had never seen this person before.

"Young man, what are you doing here?"

an old man asked enthusiastically.

Lin Chen said, "Come and ask me something."

"Um?"

Several old people looked at Lin Chen in confusion.

"What's the problem?"

Lin Chen said: "That courtyard in the distance, has anyone died before?"

When they heard the name "siheyuan", the faces of several old people turned pale, showing a look of fear.

"Dead."

An old man said: "That was seventy years ago."

He shook his head slightly and continued to speak.

"Seventy years ago, there was a family of seven living in a courtyard house."

"But one night, six people died inside."

"The appearance of death was very miserable. The body was covered in pits and bleeding, as if a large piece of flesh had been bitten off alive."

"There was one person left who was convicted as the murderer, but was released because there was insufficient evidence."

"But he didn't move back immediately. Instead, he lived outside for more than ten years. It seems that he came back after his business closed down."

Lin Chen listened silently.

This must be something that happened to Emperor Kangzu of the Tang Dynasty.

What is really valuable is the death of those six people.

His body was covered in holes and bumps.

As if it had been bitten off.

"What killed them?"

Several old people shook their heads and said, "I don't know."

"But that courtyard is not a good place."

The old man said seriously: "Don't get close if nothing happens."

"That courtyard house was abandoned for almost twenty years and was only recently repopulated."

"In the past twenty years, some strange, white lumps of flesh have often appeared around the courtyard."

"These meat balls exude a foul odor and will squirm. If touched with something, they will even make a scary squeaking sound."

Mention this.

The expressions of several old people became even more frightened.

"That's not all."

Another old man said: "Almost ten years ago, there was an outbreak of plague in that courtyard."

"A large group of rats ran out of it and ate everything around them. They even ate a cowherd, including his cows and people."

The bodies of several old people trembled.

It seemed like I had seen the terrifying scene again.

Lin Chen murmured: "White meat, mouse..."

He immediately thought of what Tang Kang had said before, that black cats would become irritable at midnight.

What makes a black cat angry?

Now it seems that it is most likely a mouse.

What was it? Seventy years ago, it gnawed six people to death.

Or maybe it's a rat.

Rat, rat.

There may be countless rats hiding in that courtyard!

Lin Chen immediately turned around and walked towards the courtyard.

Several old people shouted hurriedly when they saw that Lin Chen was leaving and heading towards the courtyard.

"Young man, where are you going?"

"Don't go to the courtyard house."

"That's the devil's house!"

Lin Chen smiled slightly and said, "If it is the devil's home, that would be the best."

"I'm a professional witcher."

Just received the certificate!

Several old people were stunned.

Then he looked at Lin Chen's back with a shocked expression.

"Wow, this guy is actually a witcher!"

"Such a young witcher is incredible."

"He looks to be in his early twenties. Isn't such a young demon hunter about to break the world record?"

"Too strong."

A demon hunter can't really graduate until he is forty or fifty years old.

The original world record for the youngest demon hunter was: 35 years old.

And now, Lin Chen unknowingly broke this record.

Now he is the strongest demon hunter in the world!

When Lin Chen returned to the courtyard.

Tang Kang and his wife had tidied up the room, and his wife started to cook.

When he saw Lin Chen coming back, Tang Kang immediately greeted him.

"Master Lin."

"The room for you to rest has been prepared."

"Come and take a look."

The room was not far away. Lin Chen walked inside and took a look.

There wasn't much, just a single bed, a table, two stools, a wardrobe, and nothing else.

After Lin Chen looked at the room, he turned around and asked Tang Kang.

"Did you hear mice at night?"

Tang Kang paused.

After coming back to his senses, he nodded quickly and vigorously.

"Heard that."

"And more than once."

His face gradually turned pale, and he continued: "To be honest, I have been having a strange dream recently."

"In my dream, I saw a red cave."

"Deep in the cave, there is a man wearing a cloak with no face."

"He stood in a disgusting puddle, which seemed to be composed of various chewed food and organs, submerged in the liquid around his knees."

"Then around him, there were a bunch of ugly, deformed, disgusting creatures standing on four legs eating the liquid."

"The creatures were like pigs, and the man was like a swineherd."

When Tang Kang said this, he couldn't help but make a move to vomit.

It seems that I have started to feel nauseated.

He resisted the urge to vomit and continued.

"I walked into the cave and these creatures, along with the faceless swineherd, spotted me."

"They rushed towards me immediately."

"Every time I dream about this, I wake up with a fright."

"Then you hear the rattle."

Tang Kang's body trembled slightly.

With a pale face and a cold sweat on his face, he continued: "I heard it very clearly."

"There were rat noises coming from the walls around the room."

Zhizhizhizhi——

"It was the sound of countless rats scratching, hissing, and running."

He took a quick look at the surrounding walls.

Then he said with a cold sweat: "I always feel that if there are no walls, those rats will rush out and drown me."

Lin Chen calmly walked to the wall and knocked on it.

Be solid.

It's not hollow.

Lin Chen walked out of the room, went to the room where Tang Kang slept, and checked the surrounding walls.

All are solid.

Tang Kang said: "The walls have been renovated before, there is no problem."

"And my wife said she couldn't hear the mice."

"I even thought I was sick."

Lin Chen took a look at the small map. According to the small map, the wall was indeed solid.

There are no gaps inside that a mouse can't get through.

Lin Chen said: "There must be mice in your house, but they are just hiding."

"Tonight, we'll find their hiding place."

The elders in the village all said that many rats once escaped from the courtyard and ate a person and a buffalo.

So rats must exist.

Tang Kang said excitedly: "Master Lin, you must save us."

Lin Chen said lightly: "As long as the money is in place, anything can be said."

Tang Kang said hurriedly: "Yes, yes."

"I still have some savings."

"As long as Master Lin can save us, I'm willing to give him any money."

"I don't want to hear those voices again and have that nightmare again."
