The original god of the Jyota Jinchūriki

Chapter 30: The Disappearance of Guoba (2)

"You naughty boy, hurry home and eat. If you don't eat, you'll be captured by the sack monster."

"Sack freak! I'm going home to eat."

A young boy was running home in a panic. Behind him, his mother was shouting at him to run slower and be careful not to fall.

Sack monster? It seems that every country has its own way of saying things to scare children. In Liyue, adults often use ghosts that catch disobedient children to scare children. When Ruo Jin was a child, he was often scared because he didn't play well and didn't eat well.

"Kaeya, you Monds are quite professional at scaring children. You even made up a sack monster."

The story of the sack man must be known to many people, as he could scare a child like this. I wonder who was the smartest person to come up with this idea. When he has time, he can ask around about the story of the sack man.

"Mr. Ruo Jin, this is not a rumor. Recently, a strange man has appeared in Mondstadt. He always holds a blood-stained sack. I have investigated this matter before, but I don't have any clues."

"If you see this person, please be sure to contact the Knights of Favonius."

Recently, many people have reported to him that a strange man in a sack appeared in Mondstadt. From a distance, the sack was stained with blood, which was very scary. Kaeya originally thought it was a murderer, but after some investigation, he found that no one in Mondstadt had died or disappeared accidentally recently.

As time passed, this rumor actually turned into a rumor used to scare children. Seeing that it had no impact and there were no clues, Kaeya simply handed the matter over to the other Knights of Favonius.

"Sack freak, is there anything wrong with the rice crust?"

"It's hard to say. Rumor has it that the sack man is very scary."

Kaiya didn't mean to scare Xiangling. He still had no idea about the sack-shaped monster. He asked some people who claimed to have seen the sack-shaped monster, and their stories were very coherent and didn't seem to be made up at all.

When Xiangling heard Kaeya say that there really was a sack monster in Mondstadt, she suddenly became nervous. Although Guoba was stupid, Xiangling had long regarded Guoba as a family member, and she didn't want to see Guoba get into trouble.

"Don't worry, Xiangling. Judging from Guoba's breath, there is nothing abnormal about Guoba."

Ruojin glared at Kaeya and comforted Xiangling a few words. After learning what happened at the Deer Hunter Restaurant, Ruojin used his earth vein perception to vaguely find the location of Guoba. Kaeya, who was curious about what Guoba looked like and wanted to slack off, followed Ruojin and Xiangling to look for Guoba.

Following Ruo Jin's footsteps, the three of them soon arrived at a house on the edge of Mondstadt. From the outside, the house looked no different from an ordinary house in Mondstadt.

Some flowers and plants are growing luxuriantly in the flower beds on both sides of the house. There is not a single weed in the flower beds, and various flowers are blooming. It is obvious that they have been carefully cared for. However, this house, which looks very warm from the outside, has its windows covered by thick curtains, and the interior of the room cannot be seen from the outside.

"The rice crust is in here. I can sense his breath."

Anyone can lie, but the earth veins can't. Under the guidance of the earth veins, Ruo Jin was very sure that Guoba was in this house. As the only Mondstadt person among the three, Kaia volunteered to knock on the door. He wanted to see who was so bold as to kidnap someone else's pet in Mondstadt.
Kaiya just put his hand on the door and was about to knock, but he heard a creak and the door was pushed open. The sudden change made Kaiya instantly alert. He looked at Ruojin. Ruojin half-squinted his eyes. He could sense that there was someone in the house, and Guoba was also in the house.

"Let's go in and take a look. Xiangling, come behind me."

Dragging Xiangling behind him, Ruo Jin walked into the house first. He was very confident in his own strength and he would be able to react immediately to any unexpected situation.

As soon as he stepped into the house, a chill rushed towards Ruojin. Ruojin was so startled that he almost took out the sword of no work. Behind him, Xiangling and Kaeya were also quite nervous at this time. Both of them felt this abnormal chill. But the more they were in such an environment, the more worried Xiangling was about Guoba. If Ruojin hadn't been in front of her, Xiangling would have rushed in directly.

squeak~
A breeze blew through the door, and the door made the sound of time. It was clearly noon, but the warm wind did not bring a bit of warmth to Ruojin and the other two in the house. Instead, it added an indescribable sense of weirdness.

Not to mention Xiangling, even Kaeya felt a chill on his back due to this weird feeling. Mondstadt, where it is spring all year round, could give him such a feeling. Even a fool would know that there was something wrong with this house.

Looking at the door that might be the bedroom, Ruo Jin gently opened it and peeked into the room. At this glance, Ruo Jin's face turned pale.

On the wall, various unknown bones are intertwined with each other, like a painting created by a madman, twisted, crazy, and perverted.

The windows were covered with thick curtains, preventing any sunlight from entering the house. An eerie and terrifying atmosphere filled the room. In this environment, a single bed was quietly placed under a wall covered with bones.

In the corner of the room, a bloody sack was placed next to the alchemy table, which was emitting a faint green light. As the only light source in the room, the pale green light made the bloody sack and the bones on the wall look even more terrifying.

Could it be that the rumored sack monster really exists?

When Ruo Jin pushed the door open and saw the blood-stained sack, he felt a chill running from the soles of his feet to his forehead, making him shiver involuntarily. The scene before him was frightening even for someone like Ruo Jin who had witnessed the cruel methods of the Fatui.

No, the fear brought to him by the bloodiness of the Fool's Tricks was completely different from the fear before his eyes. These things before his eyes were completely another kind of fear, a fear on the spiritual level.

Ruojin shuddered and turned around to cover Xiangling's eyes. Xiangling was timid to begin with, and if she saw such a horrifying scene, she would definitely be scared.

"Brother Jin, what happened in front? Why did you suddenly cover my eyes?"

"Xiangling, you are still young, you can't look at these things. Be good, go out first, Kaiya and I are here."

"Um, Mr. Ruojin, can I go out with Miss Xiangling? I also feel a little..."

Kaiya thought he was very brave, but the strange-shaped bones in front of him, such as the fish skeletons with wild boar skulls, the skeletons of birds with four legs, etc., challenged his digestive ability. His stomach churned, and Kaiya felt that he was going to vomit everything he had eaten at noon.
