Chapter 42: Ghostly Tricks
This is an old wooden house, and it is a bit dark inside because there is no electricity.

After entering the door, there is the living room, with two rooms on each side.

"You guys sit down for a while, I'll ask my wife to come out."

After the old lady entered the house, she lit a candle and placed it in the living room. Several people stood in the living room and looked around.

Looking at the moldy floor, Suti frowned and instinctively had a strange feeling.

"Do you feel like something is wrong?"

"Something's wrong."

When everyone heard him say this, they pricked up their ears.

Su Ti glanced at the old lady who entered the house and whispered.

"She said that they usually rely on young men to bring them food and supplies, but the road we took into the mountains was full of branches and vines, and no one has walked on it for a long time."

"If they rely on young men to bring them food and supplies, how could that mountain road be closed for so long?!"

"That's true."

Everyone was stunned, and a look of vigilance appeared on their faces.

But Lao Li quickly refuted.

"My hometown is in a mountain village. There is more than one mountain road in a mountain village like this. The road we took may not be the one they usually take. Maybe the road those young people took to deliver supplies was another one?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone felt that it made sense.

Su Ti also nodded slightly. What Lao Li said made sense. After all, in these desolate mountains and wilderness, maybe he was just worrying too much.

But his fourth level of internal training had surpassed the senses of ordinary people, and he always felt vaguely that something was wrong here. Although he couldn't put his finger on what was wrong, he just had a strange feeling.

While everyone was talking, the old lady brought her husband out.

Her husband is an old man with a hunched back and a face full of wrinkles.

He was also smiling and came out to warmly entertain everyone.

There wasn't much food in the countryside, so he brought a few cups of hot water and added tea leaves for everyone to drink.

"Everyone has come from afar, please have a drink of water."

Everyone responded, but because of what Suti said before and their defensiveness as newcomers, no one drank the water, saying they were not thirsty.

Seeing this, the old man did not force it, but said.

"There happen to be two guest rooms reserved for Ah Hu and his friends to stay overnight. You can just sleep in those two rooms tonight."

From the previous conversation between Mr. Xu and the old lady, we learned that Ah Hu was the young and strong man who often came to take care of them.

Everyone agreed.

The two guest rooms were very clean, and the few people allocated them and moved in.

Old Xu and his four companions shared a room. They were often outdoors and were used to living together. There was no problem with four of them sharing a room, since they had already prepared sleeping bags and tents.

And Suti was alone in a room.

In the room, it was already around eleven o'clock at night. Looking at the unfamiliar environment, Suti tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

Just then there was a gentle knock on the door. Suti went forward to open the door and the old lady came in.

"My son, you have come all the way here to travel and you must have worked hard. My wife and I don't have anything to treat you, so I cooked some sweet potato soup for you to drink."

Looking at the old lady's kind and gentle face, Suti let down his guard slightly and nodded gently.

"Just leave it there. I'll drink it later."

"Drink it while it's hot. It won't taste good if it gets cold."

Faced with the particularly enthusiastic old lady, Suti could only nod repeatedly, saying that he would drink it right away, and then closed the door.

Not long after Su Ti closed the door, he heard the same sound coming from next door. It was obviously the old lady bringing sweet soup to Xu and the other three.

Suti took a look at the sweet potato soup in front of him. It was just ordinary sweet potatoes and water boiled together. There was nothing special about it.

He leaned in and sniffed it carefully, but didn't smell anything. However, after thinking it over, he decided not to drink it.

Be careful when you go out.

The floor in the room had fallen into disrepair. Suti lifted a wooden board slightly and poured the sugar water along the floor into the soil layer below. He then placed the empty bowl outside the door to indicate that he had finished drinking.

Then he took out an energy bar from his pocket and took a bite, then took out a bottle of mineral water and started drinking it. After he was full, he lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

Suti slept lightly. In the middle of the night, he suddenly heard a slight sound of a door opening.

He woke up immediately, but due to the strong control over his body, he did not open his eyes. He still lay motionless on the bed, breathing evenly.

After the door opened, two footsteps were heard approaching his bed.

Not long after, the footsteps stopped and two figures stood at the head of his bed, whispering.

Said an old and hoarse voice.

"Let's start with him. He's young, strong, and his meat is tasty. If he makes sausage from it, it will last us a long time. I still haven't had enough last time."

A young voice also said.

"Yes, this group of people are too vigilant. Only this young man drank the sugar water, and the others didn't. Let's kill him first, and then contact the others to kill the remaining four together!"

As they chatted, they began to laugh quietly.

Then he started to take action.

I saw a kitchen knife flashing with cold light, silently stabbing towards Suti's neck.

The two men showed bloodthirsty eyes, and were about to succeed.

A large hand grabbed the stabbing arm.

Then, a pair of fierce eyes opened in the darkness, staring at the two astonished people.

Su Ti opened his eyes and was shocked.

He was not shocked by the fact that the two wanted to kill him.

But although one of them was the old lady who opened the door for him earlier, the other one was not the old man he expected!

But himself!
Another Suti stood at the head of his bed. His face, appearance and clothes were exactly the same as his own. The only difference was that his face was ferocious, his eyes were bloodthirsty and cruel, and he held a sharp and cold kitchen knife in his hand, stabbing at his neck.

A person who looks exactly like me, standing by my bed in the middle of the night and stabbing me with a kitchen knife? !
Ordinary people would be frightened to death on the spot if they saw such a weird and terrifying situation!
Although there was shock in Suti's eyes, there was no sign of fear.

He held the opponent's knife with one hand, and slapped the man's forehead with his backhand! It didn't feel like hitting the hard texture of the forehead, but instead a wet, smooth and soft feeling, as if he had hit a tumor.

boom!
The person who was hit flew backwards and hit the wall directly!
After a brief moment of shock, the old lady immediately developed a ferocious expression and chopped at Suti with a kitchen knife in one hand.

But Su Ti was faster than him. While her knife was still in the air, Su Ti had already slapped her neck.

There was a powerful force explosion, and with a snap, the old lady's cervical vertebrae were broken. She flew out and hit the wall heavily, dying on the spot!
Suti immediately got up from the bed and looked at the two of them with a frown.

At this time, the noise coming from his room also disturbed the people next door.

Old Xu and his four companions rushed into Su Ti's room, just in time to see the bodies of 'Su Ti' and the old lady lying on the ground.

And at this moment there was actually a Suti standing in the middle of the room!
Such a weird scene made the four people look shocked. They kept looking between the corpse of "Su Ti" on the ground and Su Ti himself, feeling confused and uncertain.

"These two guys on the ground came into my room in the middle of the night and tried to kill me, and then I beat them to death."

Su Ti explained calmly.

Although he gave an explanation, Suti could see that everyone was still looking at him with suspicion. After all, his body was still lying on the ground, and his one-sided statement was not convincing.

However, Suti did not care, nor did he insist on explaining to everyone that he was real and the one on the ground was fake.

Just because he is the strongest among everyone, it is useless to doubt him.

He doesn't need to prove it, because his strength is his greatest confidence and the best proof.

Not to mention the suspicious looks of the crowd, it was Old Xu who, after looking at Su Ti himself and the corpse on the ground for several times, was suddenly stunned, took out a bottle of Fengyoujing from his backpack, and took a deep breath in front of his nose.

When he looked at the ground again, his pupils shrank violently!
"Godfather, how is it?"

Cao Man asked hurriedly when he saw this. Old Xu looked solemn and handed the Fengyoujing to several people.

"See for yourselves."

After Old General Xu handed the Fengyoujing to a few people, each of them took a deep breath in front of their noses, and then looked at the two corpses on the ground, and their faces suddenly changed!

At this time, Su Ti also took the Fengyoujing and took a deep breath in front of his nose. A cool smell penetrated his brain, and his somewhat drowsy brain instantly became clear!
Taking advantage of this clarity of mind, he looked carefully and found that the old lady and his own body on the ground had disappeared without a trace.

Instead, there were two pale floating corpses with extremely swollen bodies, distorted faces, and faces swollen like steamed buns!

The appearance of these two bodies was as if they had been soaked in water for a month and then salvaged from the shore. They were ugly and horrifying!

At the same time, a strong stench came to my face, a stench of corpse mixed with grease!

Smelling the stench, Suti felt dazed for a moment. The corpse on the ground gradually twisted and turned back into the appearance of the old grandmother and his own corpse.

"This is a liar!"

At this time, Mr. Xu took out a bottle of wind oil, smeared it on the tip of his nose, maintaining the cool breath, and said in a firm tone.

"ghost of a child?"

Su Ti was puzzled, but the story sounded somewhat familiar. Although he had listened to Old Xu talk about evil spirits for an entire afternoon, he had only listened roughly and had not studied it as carefully as he did.

"Yes, a kind of evil spirit with a foul smell, the ability to create hallucinations, and a love for eating humans. When we inhale the stench from their bodies, it can cause hallucinations and blind our five senses, so what we saw before were all illusions they created for us!"

"Besides, the monster is very smart and knows how to cheat. The so-called devilish tricks refer to this kind of monster!"

As he spoke, Mr. Xu shook the medicinal oil in his hand.

"This strong dispelling smell can dispel the stench brought by the dung and temporarily restore people to sobriety."

"The old man and the old woman we saw before, as well as Suti, were all disguised by the two gulls on the ground, in order to deceive our trust!"

After Old Xu said this, everyone reacted and felt a tingling sensation in their backs when they thought about their previous conversations with such monsters.

"Then what should we do now?"

"what to do."

Old Xu's eyes flickered, and he was obviously thinking about this question.

When they entered the village, there were still two houses with lights on. If one house was occupied by a gull, then what were the residents of the other two houses?
At this moment, Suti suddenly squatted down and touched the floating corpse on the ground with his fingers.

Since the corpse puppet worm he encountered before provided him with energy, then the equally evil toad should be able to do the same.

Under the smooth touch of the corpse's surface, a cool air flowed into his body along his fingers.

Energy 130%
Energy 140%
Two pieces of information flashed by, and Suti's energy increased by 20%.

At this time he turned and touched another corpse.

Sure enough, the other corpse also provided Suti with 20% energy.

After obtaining the energy from these two corpses, Suti's heart skipped a beat, and there was a hint of excitement at the corners of his mouth.

In his eyes, this thing was no longer a disgusting corpse or a scary ghost, but an experience baby that could provide him with experience points.

Thinking of the previous conversation between the two snakes, about summoning everyone to kill Old Xu and others together, Su Ti picked up the bottle of medicated oil and walked out, casually speaking to everyone.

"Don't move around here. I'll be back soon."

Knock, knock, knock! Suti knocked on the door of another house a hundred meters away.

Not long after, the door opened.

A pale and swollen corpse poked its head out of the door. It was stunned when it saw Suti, and then spoke with surprise and a strong stench.

"Nongwazi? What's the matter?"

Su Ti sniffed the scent of the wind oil at the tip of his nose and spoke with a smile.

"I'm a traveler here. It's getting late, so I want to take a rest."

The corpse became even more excited after hearing this, and spoke with a slight smile on his lips.

"Okay, then come in first."

"No hurry. Is there anyone else at your house? I want to say hello together before going in."

"Yes, yes. I'll call them out right away."

There was a cold light flashing in Suti's eyes. After seeing through these strange tricks, the corpses' clumsy acting skills seemed like a joke in his eyes.

However, before he saw through these tricks, even he was fooled.

The corpse soon called his family to meet Suti. It was somewhat unexpected that they were a family of three. The presence of one more person made Suti's eyes flash with a hint of satisfaction.

After meeting each other, Suti walked into the house, and the moment he closed the door, he showed a bright smile.
