Volume 1: The Tao Gives Birth to All Things Chapter 8: A Moment of Life and Death
Righteous Light Headquarters, inside the Minister's Office.
Xu Wenwu poured a glass of liquor and handed it to a cultivator in his fifties with thinning hair, a red nose and small eyes.
This man's name is Ji Hongkui, a fourth-level cultivator of the Righteous Light Sequence, and he is also an alchemist.
His alchemy skills can only be regarded as mid-level in the Empire, but his research on cultivators in various sequences can be regarded as outstanding in the Empire.
Xu Wenwu asked, "Lao Ji, you have studied for so many years, give me a quasi-word, the cultivator of the Galaxy Walker sequence, is it really only the Night Chant sequence that can be restrained?"
Ji Hongkui picked up the wine glass, drank it all, clicked his mouth, and tasted it for a while before saying, "I can't give you an accurate answer to this." The chant of the night is a broken sequence, and at present, there has not been a single fourth-level cultivator in the entire continent, and I don't know what secrets this sequence hides.
"But I can say for sure that the chant of the night is definitely not as simple as healing the sick. ”
As he spoke, he smiled and said, "Aren't you on good terms with Your Majesty?" or you tell Your Majesty and let me go and see the stone tablet, maybe I can give you an answer." ”
Xu Wenwu glanced at him, opened a file bag, took out a few pages of paper, and said, "Look at this person, if he has a chance to break through the third level or even enter the fairyland." ”
Ji Hongkui looked at it carefully twice, and asked in disbelief, "There are still people with such strong self-healing ability, saving others first and saving themselves, maybe it is really possible to break through the curse of the Night Chant sequence." It's just that...... Is this information accurate?"
Xu Wenwu smiled: "This is the message that Yun Tangge gave me, are you accurate?"
Ji Hongkui seemed to remember something interesting, and said with a smile: "This kid has been thinking about finding someone to take his place, but he didn't expect to find an unusual person."
"But I still can't give you an exact answer. You shouldn't ......?"
Seeing that Ji Hongkui didn't mean to continue, Xu Wenwu could only say by himself: "You have to do this!"
Ji Hongkui jumped directly on the sofa, squatted on it and said, "You don't come, I don't want to do this kind of immoral thing of having a child without an asshole." ”
Xu Wenwu smiled: "You don't like women, where is the child, this matter is decided." After doing this, what I promised you, I will carry it out immediately, and it will be okay. ”
Ji Hongkui was silent for a while, but still shook his head and said, "Forget it, I'll stay underground for the rest of my life and be a mouse." I really can't do this, otherwise not only will I be damned, but I will also be affected by my ducklings. ”
Xu Wenwu frowned and said: "Don't keep in front of me in front of your group of ducks, annoying! This matter is so decided, if you don't do it, I will kill your group of ducklings first and make soup and drink!"
Ji Hongkui's face darkened, and he said angrily: "You know how to bully me, why don't you ask Yun Tangge to do it? Isn't he more suitable?"
Xu Wenwu put a piece of jade pendant in front of him and said, "When the time comes, if you use this jade pendant to trigger illusions, the God of Light will only punish me!"
Ji Hongkui looked at Yu Pei and said in disbelief: "When did you become so awe-inspiring, selfless, my Iron Rooster Minister." ”
The two were silent for a while, and Ji Hongkui broke the silence and said: "You just need to take care of the light of justice, why are you going to take care of so much? The royal family has so many powers, do you need to do this idleness?"
Xu Wenwu said: "The old minister's deathbed entrustment, if I don't do it well, how can I have the face to see him in the future?"
Ji Hongkui stared at Xu Wenwu's eyes, and said in a low voice: "Is it the old minister's entrustment, or your own selfishness, you can weigh it yourself." In the past few years that you have been a minister, you should know better how many cultivators have been lost in the light of justice, and how many comrades-in-arms we have lost. As brothers who have lived and died together, I can only say so much. ”
He pushed the jade pendant in front of Xu Wenwu and said, "We are four brothers, I am the elder brother, I will bear this sin." But let's not take it as an example!"
After Ji Hongkui left, Xu Wenwu said to himself: "Big brother, I am not for the royal family, nor for myself, but for the cabinet." For the sake of the people of the world, one day, you will understand......"
............
It was bumpy for half an hour, and then it was shuttled in the imperial capital for another hour. Lu Yihan and Yun Tangge came to a luxury villa area. After Yun Tangge showed his documents, the doorman also registered before letting him go.
On the edge of a villa by the pond, there were four cars parked on the side, and as soon as Ye Weiqing saw Yun Tangge, he immediately frowned and said, "I'm busy, but I don't have time to help you wipe your buttocks." ”
Yun Tangge smiled: "I'm here to send you charcoal in the snow." He, Lu Yihan, death row prisoner, you let him go in and try. ”
When the police officers on the side heard this, they all cast pity on Lu Yihan.
Lu Yihan then remembered that the snake spirit disease had told him that not all death row prisoners were executed, and many disappeared inexplicably. Presumably, they all came to "deal with" these bizarre murder scenes and disappeared.
Although he feels sad in his heart, does he have the right to be sad?
Ye Weiqing said: "Okay, then let him go in and give it a try." After Yun Tangge unfastened his anklet, he put on protective clothing for him, and whispered in his ear: "If the situation is not good, you can jump out of the window in the southwest corner, sink under the pond, and find a way to slip away." This is your reward for saving Zhu Siping. Whether you live or die depends on your personal creation. ”
Lu Yihan was actually so scared in his heart that he could only comfort himself and say, I am a traverser, I am a great fortune, I am a top student of the Medical University, and I will not invade all poisons......
Ye Weiqing handed an instrument to Lu Yihan and said, "Remember, don't touch anything inside, just hold this instrument and stand in the room for a quarter of an hour, and you can come out." ”
Lu Yihan took a deep breath, put on a gas mask, and slowly pushed the door open. As soon as he stepped into the room, Ye Weiqing immediately closed the door and shouted outside: "Open the instrument I gave you, don't touch the things inside, and come out in a quarter of an hour." ”
Now Lu Yihan only listens to Yun Tangge, and feels that he still has some credibility. So as soon as you enter the room, immediately walk towards the southwest corner.
However, he had only walked a dozen steps before his calves were frightened by the scene in front of him, because the scene in the living room was so terrifying. As a doctor, he had performed countless autopsies, but had never seen such a horrific scene.
There were eleven corpses lying in the living room, seven women and four men, one of whom was just a child. Their bodies were not decomposed, nor were they dismembered, but rather holes with pale blue smoke floating through them.
There are also five instruments on the ground that are exactly the same as those in Lu Yihan's hand, presumably the guy who was sent to death in front of them.
Seeing this scene, Lu Yihan was extremely nervous, and his eyes swept over the corpses.
They look like rotten wood by the river that has been soaked in water for a long time and dried by the sun. But their faces were scratched by themselves. It should be unbearable to endure the itch that goes deep into the bone marrow, and I can't help but scratch my face into a puddle of mud.
The intact eyes were wide to the limit, as if they were terrified, but they couldn't make a sound.
He didn't dare to look more, so he quickly rushed up to the second floor and came to the room in the southwest corner, where there was also a corpse. Lu Yihan ignored it and reached out to open the latch of the window.
Seeing the scene below, Lu Yihan scolded, "Yun Tangge, you bastard, you even have to lie to me, a dying person!"
Below there was a pool, but it was full of debris, mostly made of steel. The steel bars stood there, like wooden thorns in a trap in a TV series in a previous life.
He was just about to turn around to see if he had run to the wrong room or if Yun Tangge had deceived him. At this time, he saw that the protective suit on his body had rotted into a rag. As if it was spotted by Mars, holes quickly appeared.
He rushed to the mirror hanging by the door and saw that the gas mask was just as fast, rotting quickly.
A pungent breath came, and Lu Yihan hurriedly held his breath. But his eyes were scorched, and tears kept flowing.
Just inhaling a little bit of that strange smell made his throat spicy and itchy, as if hundreds of millions of caterpillars were wriggling along his trachea, towards his lungs.
The strange feeling from his hands and feet made Lu Yihan desperately want to open his eyes to see what was wrong with his body.
At first glance, as a doctor, he was so frightened that he almost cried. His arms seemed to be eaten by invisible insects, and his hands were full of holes. But there was no blood, no liquid spilling out of the thick water, only pale blue smoke coming out.
Lu Yihan finally knew what Yun Tangge told him that he would die a painful and ugly death.
The wound didn't hurt much, but the tingling sensation was unbearable.
"Ahh
That would be an undignified death!
Outside the villa, more than a dozen police officers all had gloomy faces, and Yun Tangge stood behind Ye Weiqing, staring at an instrument placed on the car body.
Ye Weiqing shook his head and said, "One person can't do it, at least three more can clean up the virus inside." ”
As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Yun Tangge and asked, "Do you think of a way to get me three more death row prisoners." This is the number six virus, and if it differentiates three more times, they will lose their vitality. ”
Yun Tangge didn't answer him, but took out his pocket watch and looked at it, and asked, "It's been twenty minutes, is he dead?"
Ye Weiqing seemed to have just remembered this question, and after twisting several buttons in a row, he frowned and said: "It's not dead yet, look here, there are traces of life fluctuations on the detector given to him." ”
Yun Tangge's gloomy expression immediately became a little excited, and he asked, "Are you sure he is not dead?"
Ye Wei said angrily: "I know that every time you help, you have your own little abacus in your heart." Let me tell you, even if he can become a cultivator, he can't become a prison guard. The headquarters is short of people right now, and it's not your turn. ”
Yun Tangge smiled: "You don't care about the rest, I'll ask you, can he have a chance to become a cultivator?"
Ye Weiqing nodded and said, "If he doesn't die, it's theoretically possible." After all, he can resist the No. 6 virus, which means that his physique is different from ordinary people. ”
Lu Yihan in the room is now worse than dead, in order to make himself die a decent death, he has already bitten off the nails of his ten fingers. Tumbling on the floor in pain, with a beastly scream.
At this moment, he really wanted to die, he wanted to pick up the knife on the desk and end himself, but now he didn't even have the ability to hold the knife.
This pain lasted for eons of time, and he slowly felt a little better. The tingling sensation has changed from the inside out, and you can feel the specific location.
He could even sense that something in his body was growing and dying quickly. This may be the reason why the human body is used to destroy the virus.
After feeling better, Lu Yihan couldn't help but rub some of his face with his palm. He has always felt that he is not handsome enough, if he is disfigured again, how will he live in the future?
As soon as he touched the pitted and extremely rough skin on his face, he even had the heart to die again. He lifted up the last of his strength and stood trembling in front of the mirror. When I looked in the mirror, I was so scared that I almost didn't shout "Hell!".
"It's better to live like this, it's better to die, it's not decent at all. Yun Tangge, you bastard, do you want me to live like this?" Lu Yihan didn't know whether he should be glad that he didn't die, or whether he should be sad to live with such an image.
