I Became a Witch in a World Full of Urban Legends Chapter 178: Let Him Go!

The dark hut was dusty and without furniture. There was only a wooden bed with no bedding, and even the window was about the size of a basketball.

Strangely enough, although the room felt dirty underneath her hands, she couldnt feel or hear any signs of insects or rats.

The system ordered her to check on the door after everything outside was quiet, and she groped in the darkness for a while, finding that the wooden door was bare.

System, this door can only be locked from the outside!

I see.

It is not surprising that there is a lock on the outside of the wooden door of a house like this, but at least there will be sothing like a latch to prevent outsiders from breaking in.

However, the wooden door of this thatched hut has no latch, let alone a door handle, as if it were deliberately made like this from the beginning.

Why?

Could it be that this hut was originally built to imprison sothing?

What is the purpose of a prison within a temple?

System, have we been fooled? I feel like Ive been kidnapped, and Im about to be sold to be sobodys wife! Gu Qianqian said gloomily.

Gu Qianqian, you are overthinking it. No human trafficker can abduct a girl to this kind of place.

Plus, if they were to kidnap you, they might go broke after keeping you in for one day.

Soon, it began to rain, and the raindrops fell on the water tanks in the courtyard.

But the rainwater pouring into the water tank seed to be swallowed up by sothing as if it could never be filled completely.

Bursts of sounds could be heard from the water tank as if there were countless hands patting the walls of the tank.

System, I think I did sothing wrong.

What is it?

I shouldve asked the man about the situation in the village, but I didnt! Now, I have no food No scrumptious dinner to eat and Im so hungry.

Ah, Gu Qianqian the system hesitated to speak as if it felt bad for her. You still have a chance of completing the mission.

Youre right! I can ask him tomorrow morning, and Ill have a scrumptious breakfast tomorrow!

No, what Im saying is, go out whenever you hear strange sounds and ignore his directions. Are you not the protagonist? You have powers greater than the beings that reside here!

Understood, Gu Qianqian nodded in response.

She was so hungry that absolutely nothing could stop her.

The rain outside the window was getting heavier and heavier; the night wind was howling, and the branches and leaves of the trees were rustling as if sothing was approaching the dilapidated temple.

Gu Qianqian sat curled up on the bed, staring at the small window of the wooden house. Using the desire to eat to fight against the desire to sleep, she stayed in a daze for several hours and waited until a strange noise ca from the courtyard.

Squeak!

It was the sound of the door to the temple outside being open, and the system reminded , Gu Qianqian! Thats your cue!

The mont the systems voice fell, the rain seed to pour heavier, and lightning flashed, illuminating the courtyard in a terrifying white.

Then everything stopped, and everything was quiet. Not long after, there was a soft rustling sound outside the courtyard.

The sound sounded like sothing was moving, and the footsteps were chaotic as if several people were clustered together, dragging their feet forward.

Gu Qianqian got out of bed and tiptoed to the door, looking outside through the tiny window.

A sudden chill invaded the courtyard, and dozens of won in red shuffled into the courtyard.

Their figures were identical, with a red cloth hanging on their frozen faces, disguising their eyes and foreheads. All you could see were their sharp faces and dark red lips.

And the scarlet lanterns that dyed the entire courtyard red.

Strangely enough, the water in the tanks remained pitch black, as if it were devouring the light from the lanterns.

The wons movents were stiff like puppets as they circled to the centre of the courtyard before stopping, and the water tanks began to tremble and slam against themselves, splashing water all over the courtyard.

Amidst the sound of splashing water, the man hurried into the courtyard and bowed to the won before running towards the water tank.

The man walked to the water tank, paused for a mont, then rolled up his sleeves and plunged his hand into the dark water, and his expression beca painful and hideous.

As the man stretched his hand into the water tank, the water in the tank churned violently. After a while, accompanied by a painful groan, the man suddenly pulled his hand out of the water tank alongside sothing else.

It was a deford baby with pale blue skin and a bulging abdon with an umbilical cord attached. Its legs were limp, and strangely enough, it had seaweed for hair.

The baby opened its maw and swallowed the mans arm up to his elbow, and two white fangs sunk into his flesh, his bright red blood flowing into its mouth.

That must be where his scars ca from!

Enduring the pain, he brought the baby over to the won and announced it to them in a loud voice as if he were trying to flatter them.

The won, however, were silent and shook their heads in unison like puppets.

The man gritted his teeth and returned to his own hut. Imdiately afterwards, screams of a baby could be heard, and excited laughter ca from the wons mouths as he left the hut.

The man walked to the next water tank and repeated the process. If the won shook their heads, he would go back into his hut to dispose of the babies.

System the babies

Just as the man was walking towards a water tank again, the won stopped him suddenly and whispered sothing.

Imdiately, the mans eyes were filled with fear and uneasiness, and he knelt down in front of the won with a plop, shaking his head desperately and chattering in defence as if he were trying to deny sothing.

The won stared at the man motionlessly before turning their bodies in unison towards Gu Qianqian. All of them raised their hands, tilted their necks back at ninety degrees, and let out laughter that shredded ones eardrums.

Amidst the bursts of screams, shadows continued to flash around the temple, and occasionally strange noises could be heard, as if soone was hiding outside the temple, scraping against the wall with sharp nails.

Sothing evil was awakened, and its evil aura flooded the village.

System, we got caught!

You know what to do next.

I got it! She slamd her fist on her chest and grabbed the tal club, kicking the door open and pointing at the won. Let him go! Pick on soone your own size!
