I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

The old woman's violent vomiting sound seemed to have some magical power.

The moment after she vomited, the enthusiasm and excitement that had hovered over the heads of all the surrounding villagers instantly cooled down.

Whether it was Konnosuke standing beside Ogata, or the villagers standing at the outermost edge of the crowd, they all looked at the old woman who was still vomiting violently with horror on their faces. I broke out in a cold sweat.

Not only the villagers headed by Konnosuke were full of horror.

Ogata and the others also changed their expressions at this time.

Because Ogata and the others clearly remember a characteristic about ogres-living people can suddenly become ogres.

And the harbinger of a living person turning into a cannibal is - violent vomiting.

"Quick!" Konnosuke was the first to react, "Bring over the fishing net! Move fast!"

Whether it is Konnosuke or the other villagers, it seems that they have long been used to such a scene.

Following Konnosuke's order, all the villagers took action immediately.

Everyone immediately moved away from the old woman who was still vomiting.

Several young people brought 2 large fishing nets from nowhere, and then covered the old woman tightly with these 2 large fishing nets.

Their movements are quite proficient, and can almost be described as smooth and smooth.

After trapping the old woman with a fishing net, the young men who brought the fishing net just now began to drag the old woman trapped in the fishing net to a certain place with a tug-of-war action .

The face of the old woman was full of fear ever since she started to vomit violently.

She seemed to want to say something, but because she couldn't stop vomiting, the sound she made after opening her mouth was full of vomiting, and she couldn't even utter a complete sentence.

Although she couldn't speak, she could still move her hands and feet.

After the young men cast the net on her head, she struggled hard, as if she wanted to shake off the shackles of the net.

However——those young people cast two large fishing nets on her body.

These two fishing nets are quite strong, and the people who are responsible for pulling the fishing nets are still a few young and strong young people. How can this old woman break free from the fishing nets?

The old lady was dragged out of the village little by little by those young people in full view.

Everyone could clearly see the look of fear and despair on the face of the old woman trapped in the fishing net.

She cast a begging look at Konnosuke and the others, as if hoping that Konnosuke and the others could help her.

It's a pity - the help-seeking gaze she cast towards Jinnosuke and others is destined to be useless.

Everyone who was caught by the old woman's help-seeking gaze turned away their eyes one after another, not daring to meet the old woman's help-seeking gaze - including Konnosuke.

Looking at the old woman who was being dragged out of the village bit by bit like a dog, Machi had a look of unbearable expression on his face.

She opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something.

But Xu, who was standing beside her, grabbed her shoulder with his hand before she could speak, and then shook his head at her helplessly.

...

...

The young men responsible for dragging the old woman out of the village moved quickly.

Their skilled movements announced a cold reality to Ogata and others: they have done similar things a long time ago.

Under everyone's gaze, the old woman and the young people responsible for dragging the old woman out of the village gradually disappeared from their field of vision.

Even though the old woman who was about to become an ogre had been dragged away, the villagers headed by Konnosuke still had a heavy expression on their faces.

The joy of the villagers because Ogata rescued their companions and defeated the arrogance of Sotaro and others has dissipated at this time.

No matter who it is, their faces are heavy at this time.

Very few people even secretly sobbed.

As for Ogata and others... This is the first time they have seen a living person become a cannibal.

After witnessing the process of a living person turning into an ogre, and the way the villagers of Fenghe Village dealt with the living person who was about to become an ogre, everyone was stunned in place, and for a while Not knowing what to say or do.

"Everyone..." Konnosuke Asaogata and the others whispered, "It's late at night, everyone, please spend the night in my mansion today..."

"Hmm..." Ogata, whose face was also not very good-looking, nodded, "Then I will trouble you..."

...

...

Konnosuke walked ahead, leading Ogata and the others towards his mansion.

While leading the way ahead, Konnosuke introduced to Ogata and his party behind him:

"You should have heard about it from Zonghai and the others at Tenmanji Temple... Not only the dead can become ogres, but even the living can become ogres."

"There is no rule for a living person to become a cannibal."

"Regardless of gender or age, anyone may suddenly become a cannibal at the next moment..."

"The next person who becomes a cannibal may be you, or it may be me..."

"We've lived in this fear of not knowing when we're going to turn into a cannibal all these years."

"Originally, after the wooden wall was built, we still had 312 people alive here."

"And now, there are only a little over 100 people left...the rest have all turned into ogres..."

"How did you deal with those people who became ogres?" Ogata asked, "Throw them over the wall?"

"No, we made a clearing in the northwest corner of the wall. We dug a lot of deep pits there, and if someone turned into an ogre, we trapped them with fishing nets and dragged them to Throw them in these deep pits that we dug, and cover the openings with planks."

"Ogres don't have much wisdom. If you throw them into a pit deep enough and keep them out of sight of the living, they won't crawl out."

"So that's how it is..." Mamiya mumbled, "No wonder there are almost no ogres around the wooden wall... So you have sealed all the ogres you have transformed into this year inside the wooden wall... "

"Oh..." Kinnosuke sighed, and then smiled wryly, "Everyone, after spending the night with me tonight, try to leave this island quickly..."

"This island has become a dead island... staying here will only lead to a dead end..."

...

Turn back time to today's evening——

In the coastal area facing Butterfly Island across the sea, the shogunate barracks——

General Inamori, who commanded thousands of troops to monitor Butterfly Island across the sea, was leading all the senior officers in his army to stand outside the camp.

The reason why he led the generals to stand outside the camp was not for any other reason, but to welcome the famous doctor who was finally arriving here——Hanjing Zongxuan.
