Chapter 125: Chapter 73: When the Moon Appears in the Daytime_3

The crowd around suddenly gathered, looking very panicked, and they started asking what happened.

Chen Shi had never handled an Evil Spirit on his own. The last time an Evil Spirit caused trouble in Huangyang Village, it was the Zhao Family’s Talisman Master who secretly killed the child to refine lamp oil, and it was not an actual Evil Spirit. When killing the Traction Worm, he also joined hands with Li Tianqing, so he couldn’t help but feel a little panicky.

But he soon calmed down.

He was a Talisman Master, and even without the Divine Embryo, he could paint talismans and curse, to fight against an Evil Spirit. frёewebηovel.cѳm

If all else failed, he could still make black gunpowder to blast the Evil Spirit away.

"Five taels of silver," said Chen Shi.

The woman’s face showed difficulty; Chen Shi’s price was not expensive. Other talisman painters who exorcised Evil and performed Evil Exorcism often asked for exorbitant prices. But five taels of silver were a considerable sum for her family.

"Five taels of silver, our village will pay!" suddenly said an elder from the clan.

An Evil Spirit causing trouble in the village was not just a personal matter; it often could bring disaster to the entire village.

They went from house to house collecting money, and quickly gathered the five broken taels of silver and handed them to Chen Shi.

Chen Shi followed the woman quickly to the outskirts of the village, where he saw a group of people gathered in the field, shouting and trying to get closer. Yet they seemed to be scared off by something, and the clamor was loud.

"Everyone step back! The Talisman Master has arrived!" someone shouted.

The crowd dispersed, and Chen Shi hurried forward, only to see a man standing in the field, sleeping with his eyes closed. His arm was raised, and his fingers were gnawed to the bone, leaving five white bones splayed out.

It was as if something was holding his hand, having eaten the fingers and palm, and now eating his lower arm. Most of the flesh on the lower arm had been gnawed away, revealing chilling white bones.

Chen Shi felt pain just looking at it, yet the man kept standing soundly asleep, deeply and sweetly.

Suddenly, the man woke up from the pain, his face twisted, his eyes filled with terror, and he started screaming in heart-wrenching pain.

"Save me! Save me quickly!"

Then he smiled as if he had grown sleepy again, tilting his head to the side as he stood there sleeping, and even snoring loudly, sleeping soundly as if he were having the sweetest dream.

And his right arm was still raised, as if something was savoring eating his arm, nibbling bit by bit, and after taking a chunk of flesh, it would chew vigorously and smack its lips as if it were very tasty.

The man was awoken again by the pain, giving a shrill, pitiful scream: "Help—"

But the next moment, his face showed a smile again, and he squinted, sleeping sweetly.

The villagers were terrified and quickly retreated, not daring to approach.

They couldn’t see what was eating the man, nor did they understand how he could sleep while being eaten, naturally fearing what they could not comprehend.

But Chen Shi saw clearly that standing next to the man was a thin, tall person in gray clothing, with fuzzy ears and a hand holding the man’s arm. The fingers were long, covered with gray fur, and the furless parts were very tender.

With his back to Chen Shi, he was enthusiastically nibbling on the man’s arm.

Every time the man woke up from the pain, a tender, flesh-colored tail would emerge from behind the gray-clothed person, rise high in the air, and rub against the man’s head as if performing a head massage.

The man would then show a comfortable smile, forgetting the Evil Spirit eating his hand, and would stand and fall asleep.

The person in gray continued to eat his hand, one eating sweetly, the other sleeping sweetly.

Chen Shi could see clearly, but the people around could not see the person in gray.

At this moment, the gray-clothed person stopped eating and slowly turned their head to reveal a face like a rat’s, with shiny little eyes staring at Chen Shi.

This was a rat dressed in human clothes, standing like a human, taller than a human!

"Can you see me?" the gray-clothed rat said in surprise.
