Chapter 31: "Stuff" X-sized booger

  Who is this Liu Long Village after all? Is it appearing near me, following me, or just a coincidence?

  I looked around again, still didn't find anything, so I had no choice but to lower my head and eat the beef brisket noodle soup.

  The intestine powder is crystal clear and white, bulging, and you can vaguely see the black filling inside.

  When I turned over the rice noodle with a spoon, a bunch of black and white snot worms suddenly appeared in the broken rice noodle. This sudden situation made me somewhat unprepared, because I still couldn't believe my eyes, I thought it was an eye flower mistake.

  However, on the white plate, from the ruptured and swollen rice noodle roll, a cluster of entangled nasal mucus worms emerged. They were not very large, about the size of a fingernail. What terrified me most was that these nasal mucus worms were not dead, but alive, emerging like a grayish-white flesh tumor, entangled together, their sticky bodies twisting and writhing.

  My stomach started to worsen in pain and nausea, began to cramp, and tore out in spasms.

  It's obvious that these loaches were not added to the liangpi beforehand, wrapped up and then steamed. Instead, they were steamed along with the liangpi, and then this ball of loaches was stuffed inside afterwards.

  The owner of this store must be a pervert! If I hadn't burst the intestine powder, these boogers wouldn't have splattered out. Now, wouldn't I be chewing on a bunch of boogers?!

  I immediately stood up and shouted at the boss inside the store: "Boss lady, come out!"

  It's strange that inside the store, it was quiet and still, with no one responding to me.

  Just now, the boss's wife was still giving me intestine powder, could it be that she is fleeing in fear of punishment?

  I walked into the store and stuffed a bunch of boogers into the rice rolls as filling. This perverted thing can be done, the boss must have a problem. I absolutely want to find her and ask clearly what is going on, whether it's a prank or has an ulterior motive or is specifically targeting me personally.

  When I looked at the store from outside the alley, I thought the store was short and small, and it shouldn't be big inside either. However, when I walked into the store, I found that there was another world inside, which was actually very spacious, and many doors appeared behind the house, with several deep and distant corridors.

  Inside is dim and hazy, with low transparency. Moreover, due to the house being too old, everything looks shabby, making me feel very uncomfortable.

  I was suddenly overcome with a sense of déjà vu.

  Yes! This indoor structure, this crumbling and dilapidated feeling, is just like those rundown houses in Liu Long Village!

  Is it possible that the boss's wife is someone from Liu Long Village, and she found out through the news that I had solved the murder case in Liu Long Village, so she took revenge on me?

  But this statement is also incorrect, if she really regarded me as the enemy who killed her relatives and wanted to avenge, she could have put poison in the rice noodles or gingered pig's feet, letting me unknowingly eat it and get poisoned. Why did she need to put such disgusting live nose worms into it as fillings, this way is too easy to expose and let me be on guard?

  I continued to walk deeper into the house, and the walls around me were all marked with one gully after another, on which there were dense small holes, as if they had been dug out by some unknown creature.

  The more I walk in, the more doubts I have. At the end of this passage, who will I meet?

  The light is getting darker and darker, ahead seems to be a huge black hole, like a giant beast with its bloody mouth wide open, waiting for me to voluntarily send sheep into the tiger's mouth.

  But I had to keep going forward, because I knew that some of the truth behind the truth about Liu Long Village hadn't been dug up yet, and in this bloody abyss, there were answers I needed to get.

  An answer that would cost me my life!

  The end of the corridor was a deep red curtain, I have been afraid of this deep red color since childhood, because this deep red color gives me the feeling that it has turned black, like a blood clot dried and solidified by the wind.

  I stepped in front of the deep red curtain, reached out and was about to pull it open.

  My right hand has a slight tremble, and I, who have experienced life and death, still feel tense when facing such a heavy and eerie atmosphere.

  My hand grasped the curtain, made of plush, soft and smooth to the touch, but amidst the smoothness was a sticky feeling that made me uncomfortable.

  I didn't care about all that, I quickly and forcefully pulled open the curtain - zip, a very shrill and piercing sound.

  The curtain was pulled open, and what appeared before me was a picture that was so eerie that it almost stopped my heart. This scene was really too terrifying, too scary, my heart really suddenly thumped, my chest felt suffocated, unable to breathe, all the strength in my body seemed to be sucked away instantly.

  My legs felt weak and numb, I was dizzy, my whole body lost its balance, I hastily stretched out my hand to grab the deep red curtain to prevent myself from collapsing on the ground. But when my hand went to grab the curtain, I found that what I grabbed wasn't a soft velvet curtain, but something sticky and soft with great elasticity.

  It's like holding a piece of half-fat and thick pork meat wrapped in pig skin.

  When my hand grasped that thing, it was alive. Its thick and sticky body suddenly slipped away with a slapping sound. I felt something like a piece of flesh tightly stuck to my wrist.

  I took a closer look and couldn't help but let out a scream.

  Actually, this time I screamed, very unmanly, actually I didn't scream because of fear, my scream was because at that moment I felt an overwhelming sense of nausea, I really hated to take out an axe and immediately chop off my right hand and throw it away.

  Now, on my right wrist, there is a grey sticky thing wrapped tightly around it, about the size of a washbasin!

  And this thing that's only as big as a washbasin, is not something else, but the disgusting nose hair that I've been afraid of since I was little!

  Generally, I get goosebumps all over my body when I see a small snail, but now my wrist is tightly wrapped in a plump and fat snail as big as a washbasin.

  And, my wrist skin clearly conveyed the nauseating feeling that made me almost faint: there was a sticky membrane like a sucker below, which moved tightly and loosely in an instant.

  My left hand was so nauseous that it almost had no strength, but I mustered up all my energy, took out the lighter from my pocket, lit a fire and waved it at the gigantic booger on my right hand that had grown beyond the laws of nature.

  I know that the thing this snail fears most is salt and flames. Don't blame me for being cruel, my hatred for snails has really reached a point where I can no longer be gentle with them!

  In the Japanese manga "Naruto" that I followed during my university days, Tsunade-sama's ninja technique was medicine. When someone got injured, she had a giant slug that would split into tens of thousands of slugs to stick onto the injured person for treatment. Every time I saw this scene, I thought that if it were me, I'd rather be seriously injured than be wrapped in such a huge and plump slug. Because before the treatment was over, I would have already been grossed out to the point where my heart stopped beating.

  And now my right wrist is tightly wrapped around a nosebleed-sized leech. Life sometimes really is a matter of cause and effect...

  The yellow flame of my lighter had approached the body of this slug, and its moist gray flesh immediately lost its moisture and became somewhat dry.

  I originally thought this method would stimulate the booger to loosen its grip on my right wrist and drop it to the ground, but unexpectedly this disgusting thing didn't take the bait at all. Not only did it not loosen up, but instead increased the tension of its entanglement. My wrist clearly felt the increase in tension.

  You might find it hard to imagine this sickening feeling, but if you've had your blood pressure taken before, the sensation is similar: when they take your blood pressure, the doctor will put a black cuff around your wrist and then it will keep increasing in tightness, wrapping your wrist tightly...

  I couldn't care about anything else anymore, so I directly applied the flame from the lighter onto the slug's body and burned it.

  "Sizzling...", the flames reached the plump meat, making a sound similar to when you brush seasoning oil on roasted chicken wings.

  There is even a smell of roasted meat floating in the air.

  But this snot worm still tightly wrapped around my right wrist, without any relaxation.

  I'm about to go crazy, do I have to smash this thick snot worm into a pulp before it will drop from my right wrist? That's something I'm extremely unwilling to do, because if I do that, the worm's juices or whatever is inside its guts are definitely going to splatter all over me.

  The lowest bottom line I can accept is that the leech's body doesn't break and won't leak any flesh-like substance on my wrist while its body falls off from my wrist intact.

  If Huier Lan and Chen Qiuyang or Zou Guanjia or Ruan Defeng were by my side, they would definitely think it's extremely strange to see such a scene:

  Because in front of me 5 meters away, there is something even more frightening and eerie standing still, while I seem to have completely ignored it, not paying any attention to that "thing", but instead, I am sweating profusely and frantically staring at the right wrist wrapped with a large nose mucus worm the size of a washbasin, at a loss for what to do.

  This disgusting giant booger is stuck on the curtain, making me so embarrassed at this moment! I've finally reached a dead end, gritted my teeth and decided to squat down, using force to slam my right wrist hard onto the ground.

  "You're so disgusting and won't fall off by yourself, don't blame me for smashing you to pieces!" I said viciously, but just as my right hand was about to smash down, this nose-sized booger seemed to understand my words and automatically let go, landing on the floor with a loud "thud".
