Chapter 255
After passing through the woods, the driver drove the car along the Maoyoushan path.

Feng Mian looked out the car window, and there was no black cat in the silent woods, and the return journey was quiet except for the sound of the wind and the occasional conversation.

Three hours later, the car finally drove out of Maoyoushan, and the driver parked the car beside the long-distance station.

Feng Mian bought a ticket back to Yingcheng, and if she missed the morning bus, only the [-]:[-] p.m. ticket was left.

He glanced at the clock in the lobby, it was already 07:30, and after waiting for half an hour, Feng Mian boarded the bus in Huiying City, and the bus drove fast in the night.

The scenery on the road is boring and plain, all of which are ordinary small villages and rice fields. This is the edge of Sakura City, and the ancient way of life is still continuing.

After a few hours, the car gradually approached the city, and the scenery outside the window became bustling.

Back in Yingcheng, it was already eleven o'clock in the night when I got off the bus, but the city center was brightly lit, high-rise buildings flashed neon lights, and people on the overpass were constantly flowing.

Feng Mian got out of the car and walked towards the hotel.

When he passed Kabukicho, he seemed to feel that someone was watching him, but when he pretended not to look back, he didn't meet anyone's eyes.

The feeling of being followed was more pronounced as he crossed the street into a quieter street and turned into the path ahead.

This is a back-shaped path. When he turned a corner, he immediately hid behind a tree, but no one followed him. He waited for a while, but there was no sound of footsteps.

Feng Mian frowned, and walked out from behind the tree. There was no one on the street, but the feeling of being watched behind him still didn't disappear, and he kept a close distance from himself.

He looked back, and there was no other figure anywhere to hide behind the trees by the side of the road.

Instead, a figure suddenly stepped out from the front.

It was a woman, wearing a long white dress, with long hair draped over her shoulders. The only thing that caught people's attention was that she was very tall, at least two meters tall.

Women in the southern region are generally petite, and men are also of average height. It is rare to see such tall people.

Feng Mian immediately thought that this man might also be a transvestite.

But soon this idea was dispelled, the figure walked towards him slowly, walking in a strange posture, as if the body was extremely uncoordinated, with two too long arms hanging on the sides of the body without swinging with the footsteps at all.

The man walked slowly, like an old man walking, but each step was very long.

Soon that person appeared in front of Feng Mian, and he finally saw that person's face clearly.

It was a very ordinary woman's face, an ordinary face that would be immediately hidden by the crowd if thrown in the crowd.

There was no expression on her face, her eyes were like a pool of stagnant water, she didn't look like a living thing, but like a lifeless object.

Feng Mian instantly became alert, this guy is not human.

The woman looked at Feng Mian and stretched out her hand.

He immediately took a few steps back, the woman stood still, but her arms suddenly extended infinitely, like vines with human skin, and she grabbed Feng Mian.

The woman's body remained in place, her arms were as flexible as two water snakes trying to grab Feng Sleep.

He dodged to avoid the woman's grasping hand.

"Hachishaku-sama." A crisp female voice suddenly came from behind.

The guy who had been following him finally showed up.

A black cat jumped down from a tree, and when it landed, it instantly turned into a sweet girl with cat ears.

It turned out to be the Maoyou that I saw on Maoyou Mountain who was following Maya.

The sentence she just said seems to be a slang term in the southern border, is it referring to the woman in front of her?
The cat walked up to Feng Mian again: "This is the master's friend, please don't trouble him."

The tall woman in front of her stopped waving her hands when she heard Maoyou's words, and then retracted. Then she turned around slowly, and her tall figure walked away to the other side of the road.

Feng Mian looked at the girl with cat ears in front of her: "You followed me all the way?"

The cat snorted again: "I'm too lazy to follow you. If the master didn't ask me to deliver something to you, I wouldn't have guessed it."

An envelope appeared in her hand: "here, here you are, the things have been delivered, and I'm leaving."

"Wait a minute." Feng Mian stopped her, "Do you know that woman just now?"

The cat turned its head again, and the cat ears on the top of the head moved: "That's right, Hachishaku-sama, well, according to what you say in the Eastern Region, her name is Bachisha."

"She usually targets male humans as her prey, but occasionally she will also attack females, depending on her mood." The cat thought for a while, and said,
"Sometimes she even attacks children. In order to catch the children, she sometimes stalks them for days, or even months, and then takes the child away from the family and kills him."

"She has the habit of following her prey." She looked at Feng Mian, "So she should have been following you for a long time, maybe she has been following you since you arrived in the southern border."

"This guy is difficult to deal with. She doesn't have any kindness or malice towards humans. She just follows the habits of ancient times to search for prey."

The cat nodded its chin again: "However, it's quite easy to avoid her. As long as you hide for enough time, she will lose patience, and then she will give up her search and return to her original lair."

Feng Mian nodded: "Will she appear again?"

That woman looked different from other evil beings, she seemed to have no mind of her own, and it seemed that her mind was different from all other creatures.

The cat raised its chin again: "Don't worry, she won't come to you again in the future."

After she finished speaking, she turned into a black cat again, jumped up the tree nimbly and disappeared.

Feng Mian walked back to the road from the path, and it was already midnight when he got back to the hotel.

"You're back!" Jiang Tang lay on the bed and flipped through the ancient book on the bedside. She sometimes read this book as a bedtime story.

Feng Mian hummed, picked up the book, and turned to the page that said "Hachishaku-sama".

Bachiju, often appearing in uninhabited streets, forests, ruins or villages and other areas looking for prey, can stretch its limbs and crawl anywhere.

At that time, I met her on the deserted alley.

She can imitate sounds or shapeshift to lure prey away and follow her direction, but she can also kill prey outright if she's impatient.

He flipped through it backwards, and most of the content was the same as Mao You said.

He turned to the last page, and it was written on the tree that Hachijo's weakness is that he is susceptible to the temporary effects of amulets, body charms, and salt, but these items will lose their effect when they turn black.

And she prefers to tear down her prey rather than kill her, so most of the time she doesn't try her best to attack her prey.

No wonder she didn't use other means at that time, it seemed that she wanted to catch herself first.
