Inside a dark hotel room.

Lu Jiu, who was drenched all over, leaned against the wall on the side of the windowsill, lowered his head, his face did not see a trace of blood, and even the action of chewing demon blood ice cubes in his mouth was much more difficult than before.

It originally only took half an hour to return to Changyi City from the tomb, but Lu Jiu took nearly two hours.

The sequelae of the second rampage and the injuries on his body have plunged his physical state into an unprecedented trough, and ordinary people are afraid that he has already fallen into a dying state at this time, so he is the only one who can barely get up and move and still have the strength to try to recover through the demon blood ice cube.

However, at this time, Lu Jiu did not feel depressed because of this, on the contrary, he was in a good mood.

Compared to completely dying at the hands of that monster, he can accept this situation at the moment, just the physical injury, as long as it is not a missing arm or a broken leg, he can naturally rely on this special body to recover quickly.

The only fly in the ointment is that the final escape does not depend on one's own ability, but on another special existence.

After another while, Lu Jiu, who had come to his senses, raised his head, looked at the bed opposite, and said with a smile that couldn't be more reluctant at the corner of his mouth: "If you don't speak again, I will take what happened just now as an illusion...... Although the reality seems to be not much different from the illusion. ”

At this time, a black cat was squatting on the bed in front of Lu Jiu, staring at Lu Jiu with a pair of dark gold and red eyes, looking up and down.

"I didn't save you from that hellish place so that you could die at the hands of a puppet. ”

The cat's mouth never opened and closed, but a rough voice sounded directly in Lu Jiu's mind.

"Hell Place...... You saved me, and you know where I was sent by grave robbers?"

Hearing the words in the other party's mouth, Lu Jiu seemed to realize something, and asked in amazement,

"How else do you think a dead body came back to its own home?"

The black cat did not shy away from admitting Lu Jiu's doubts, and the latter was stunned when he heard this.

Is it so direct to speak now?

"Since you saved me, why didn't you show up before?"

"Want to know?"

The black cat on the bed got up and jumped in front of Lu Jiu,

"When you kill that guy, I might be interested in talking to you. ”

"You think too highly of me, if I can kill the Heart-Ripper, will I still look miserable?"

Hearing the black cat's request, Lu Jiu was quite speechless for a while, and it was not that he didn't see the battle just now.

"It's not that I think highly of you, but you look up to yourself, the real heart-splitter, now you don't even have the qualifications to stand in front of him, what you met before was just a cyborg puppet left by him...... Everyone in the world thinks that the ability of heart-ripping ghosts is to eat hearts and transform people, but if it is so simple, I don't know how much trouble it can save. ”

The black cat told the truth of the matter, waved its tail, and its eyes suddenly locked on Lu Jiu's face,

"Remember, whether it was seven days ago or just now, I didn't come out to save you, but if you want to know more, then use the cyborg puppet as the final test to show me your worth...... To give you an extra hint, that guy has your heart on him, whether you want to take it back or not, you think about it yourself. ”

When the words fell, the black cat didn't give Lu Jiu a chance to speak, and walked to the wall on the side, and the moment it touched, a dark blue halo appeared from the top of his head, and then the shape of the whole cat was illusory, and disappeared into the wall like a ghost.

"It's cute, but this middle-aged man's voice is really unlikeable. ”

Pouting, Lu Jiu took two steps forward, took off his clothes and lay down on the bed with difficulty, muttering to himself.

There is no doubt that the cat saved him at the last moment.

Although Lu Jiu didn't know who this guy was, and he didn't figure out what kind of means it used to lure the Heart-Ripping Ghost away at that time, one thing was certain, it had no ill will towards itself for the time being.

What's more, it seems to know the secret of the resurrection of its predecessor, and even takes the initiative to admit that it saved itself and sent it back to its home in Qingding City.

Regardless of the truth or falsity of these words, Lu Jiu can be sure that it must know part of the inside story.

It's just that it doesn't seem to have the intention of sharing this information with Lu Jiu, but wants him to defeat the Heart-Ripping Ghost...... No, it should be said that it is a puppet left by him.

Now that I think about it, there are actually several aspects of the battle just now that hint at this.

That guy didn't say a word the whole time when he fought with him, and at that time, Lu Jiu thought that he was a murderer of what kind of feelings the heart-splitting ghost was, but it turned out that he was like that because he couldn't make any expressions.

There's also the mechanical prosthetic that deploys the shield and the fact that he seems indifferent when he finally activates his own abilities.

It turns out that it's not that his extraordinary ability is invalid, but that even if the puppet is in a dizzy state, it won't affect the operation of the mechanical armguard!

This also explains why Lu Jiu was found and blocked by the corpse as soon as he appeared in the tomb, just like the black cat said, the heart-ripping ghost left him behind to prevent someone from tracking down this tomb in the future, and in Lu Jiu's opinion, this hand layout obviously has the meaning of "Ming Xiu plank road, dark Chen Cang".

The Heart-Ripping Ghost appeared in Changyi City with this appearance before, letting everyone know his current appearance, and then let his puppet become like this, just let it go to Changyi City regularly to show its face, and naturally many people who covet Heart-Ripping Ghost will stay in Changyi County.

As soon as he thought about this, Lu Jiu, who originally planned to leave Changyi City as soon as his body recovered, knew that he was afraid that he would have to stay for a while this time.

On the one hand, it is for your own heart.

The so-called "extra hint" before the cat finally left, must have had its purpose.

The heart of this body is probably the reason why the puppet was able to become what it is, and it is clear that it is very important to itself, otherwise the cat would not have said such a thing to make itself think clearly.

This means that if Lu Jiu wants to get his heart back, he must fight with that puppet alone, and he can't seek the help of Jing Ye Si...... You must know that Lu Jiu originally wanted to directly find an opportunity to report to Jing Yesi and let them go and fight that guy.

Now it seems that if the people of Jing Yesi know about his existence, it will definitely be no problem to deal with this half-mechanical puppet at that time, but that heart will also have nothing to do with Lu Jiu.

On the other hand, it is to complete this test.

Lu Jiu didn't know what the cat wanted to do, but in order to figure out his mystery, he had to fight!
