Chapter 75: In the Truth of Death
Quiet.
It was an extraordinarily quiet moment.
It's as if time has stood still.
Li Ning forgot to breathe, his eyes widened, and then he swallowed a mouthful of saliva hard.
He struggled to see everything in front of him and around him.
It's a pity that it's pitch black, and I can't see my fingers, so I can't see anything clearly.
Poof... Puff ......
The heart beats incredibly strongly.
- Be careful.
Suddenly, an unfamiliar voice sounded, with a softness peculiar to a woman.
Immediately afterwards, Li Ning felt as if his back had been pushed hard by someone, and the whole person jumped forward uncontrollably.
Suddenly, a strong wind swept past him, and with a snap, the place where he was standing just now seemed to be pressed by something.
Li Ning was not stupid, he knew that it must have been a zombie who took advantage of the darkness to attack him just now.
But the question is, who is this woman who suddenly appeared, and she also helped herself.
If it hadn't been for the timely dodge just now, I'm afraid that I would have been caught by zombies.
"Who are you?" Li Ning hurriedly got up from the ground, but because he was wearing too many clothes, he was a little clumsy.
"This is not the place to talk, go. The woman's voice reappeared.
Then, Li Ning felt a hand on his shoulder and grabbed it gently.
The whole person was directly carried up high, facing the cold night wind, and I didn't know where to be taken.
I don't know how long it has been, but his whole body is almost frozen and his consciousness is groggy.
Let's go it.
In a trance, he heard something burning, grease exploding.
And then the constant warmth kept coming from the side.
Li Ning opened his eyes in a daze and saw a pile of firewood burning in front of him.
The orange flames dispelled the cold that had just seeped into his body.
The whole person is much more comfortable.
He lay on the ground and looked around, revealing that it was an abandoned and decaying temple.
The wooden door is sparse, and behind him is an earthy Maitreya Buddha, but it has fallen into disrepair and its stomach has cracked.
The whole fat belly is split in a centipede-like crack from the middle.
Matched by his round smile.
Not only does it not seem reassuring, but there is an inexplicable horror.
"Where is this?" Li Ning got up from the ground with his hands and feet, and staggered out a hand to hold the earthen platform under Maitreya Buddha.
"The temple outside the town. In the darkness, a familiar voice sounded again, and then, a figure came from far to near the door.
When the person entered the door and walked in front of the fire, Li Ning finally saw the person clearly.
Sure enough, the voice was like a person, it was a woman, who looked like she was in her twenties and not only in her thirties.
He has a white face and a pure appearance, with a slender chin and a high nose.
Wearing a plain light white dress.
The whole person looks exceptionally clean and neat.
"Are you?" Li Ning looked at her.
"My name is Liu Su. The woman replied in a low voice.
"Thank you for saving my life!What about my Uncle Liu?Why didn't you take it with you?!" Li Ning barely squeezed out a smile.
This can be regarded as his savior.
If it hadn't been for her sudden attack just now.
I guess I've been eaten by zombies.
"Uncle Liu, I only saw you alone!" Liu Suliu frowned.
"Huh?" Li Ning froze.
"I've been observing you for a while, I've been spinning in the wild, and I even came up to say hello when I met zombies without running. At first, I thought you weren't in your right mind and didn't intend to save you. But looking at the way you looked just now, maybe ......" Liu Su wanted to speak and stopped.
"Could it be ???" Li Ning lowered his head and fell into deep thought.
In this matter, either Liu Su deliberately lied to him, but in fact, he saw it but he didn't save it, so he pretended not to see it.
Or maybe you didn't see it, and you might be alone from beginning to end.
This so-called Uncle Liu Baoquan is estimated to have disappeared at the moment of disappearance, or when he was attacked by zombies before.
He's dead.
And the one he met.
Most likely ...... Ghost!
"You guessed it right, it's probably the obsession spirit you met. Liu Su nodded.
"Uh—Obsession Spirit?" Li Ning raised his head and looked at her in amazement.
"What, don't you know?" Liu Su was a little surprised.
"I've been in trouble lately, and my brain isn't very good, tell me about it. Li Ning hurriedly explained.
"We live in a world where people will have spirits after death and continue to live in another form...... Liu Su explained.
Through her narration, Li Ning finally understood what kind of world this was.
This world is different from the world I live in, and there are ghosts here.
That is, the spirit of their mouths.
However, not all who die will have a spirit.
Only people with strong obsessions will reappear in the form of spirits after death.
Obsession spirits are the most common.
There are also various spirits such as evil spirits, demon spirits, evil spirits, etc.
"Then what's going on with this zombie?" Li Ning didn't know what happened to Liu Baoquan, so he had to continue to ask.
"Zombies are born after absorbing the essence of heaven, earth, sun and moon from the remnants of the spirit in their bodies, and they have a weak instinct. Liu Su replied.
"Can't it be eliminated? It can only coexist?" Li Ning continued to ask.
"No, any monster such as spirits and zombies can be destroyed. It's just that people are divided into good people and bad people, and these spirits are the same. A good spirit will not harm us, but will protect us. As for why this zombie hasn't been wiped out yet, part of the reason is because I didn't do it, but observed. Liu Su walked to the right side of the fire, sat on the haystack and looked at him quietly, and said.
"What are you observing? This zombie will always harm people!" Li Ning couldn't help but snapped.
"There's something wrong with your town, there's more than one zombie, and if you don't investigate the source, even if you kill one of them, you'll just startle the snake. Liu Su saw that he was a little angry, but pulled the corners of his mouth, revealing a shallow smile.
"Listen to you, you're not from our town, you're from outside. Li Ning's face stiffened, knowing that his attitude was somewhat bad, so he sat on the ground and continued to ask while roasting the fire.
"I'm from Longstream City, and I'm about half a day's ride from your town. When I was passing by this neighborhood, I happened to notice that you were evil here, so I came to investigate, but I was trapped. And this trap is three days, but I know a little bit about everything here. Liu Su said with a smile.
"What do you mean by evil spirit?" Li Ning looked at her as if he didn't understand.
"Oh my God, why don't you understand anything, are you sure you are a person from this world?" Liu Su looked at him a little speechlessly.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......" Li Ning coughed awkwardly a few times.
I said silently in my heart.
You guessed it.
I am not from this world.
"Our world is divided into the right way and the evil way. The righteous path cultivation is heroic and upright, and the evil path cultivation is endless. You ordinary people are sheltered by our righteous path, but some places are too remote to be taken care of occasionally. For example, in the case of your town this time, I suspect that there are evil demons at work. Liu Su said seriously.
"Then you should quickly notify the other righteous people to come and slay the demons together. Li Ning said with some excitement.
"I said, I've been stuck here for three days. This evil demon is so powerful that he has severed the connection between your entire town and the people outside, and you can only enter and not leave, and you can't send any information. Liu Su said helplessly.
"Why did he do this?" Li Ning seemed to be poured a basin of cold water, which could be regarded as calming down.
"Of course, it is to absorb your desires, your flesh and blood, and your soul, and to use you as fodder and nourishment. This is not the first time this kind of thing has happened, and many evil demons like to kill ordinary people to increase their strength. Liu Su explained.
"What? Are we still human?" Li Ning was stunned.
What kind of world is this?
The evil way does not treat people as human beings at all.
It's used as fodder.
Ordinary people don't have the slightest solution.
If it weren't for Liu Su passing by by accidentally.
Even if the town is gone.
It is estimated that it will be a long time before the righteous people come.
"In fact, in the eyes of the evil demons, you are indeed not human. Liu Su shrugged.
This is the default in the minds of the righteous.
There are even many righteous people who look down on ordinary people.
Think of yourself as superior.
"Damn. Li Ning couldn't help but slam his fist on the ground, and then bared his teeth in pain.
"Now, if you want to live, the only way is to find this evil demon as soon as possible. Liu Su hurriedly said.
"Can you do it alone, don't take it yourself when the time comes!" Li Ning was a little worried about her.
"There's no way, I've been swept in, either the demon dies or I die. Liu Su's expression was serious.
"Although the town is not big, there are not a few people, how to find this?" Li Ning was completely confused.
"If I'm not mistaken, this should be the usual seven-day sacrifice of the evil way, and it's the fifth day. The further we go, the more people will die, and the only way we have now is to find as many clues as possible, and then strive to find this evil demon before the end of the seventh day, otherwise it will ......" Liu Su couldn't go on, his eyes were a little gloomy.
"Otherwise, what about it?" Li Ning couldn't help but ask.
"Otherwise, you'll have to die!" Liu Su glanced at him and slowly lowered his head.
The whole town, whether it is people, animals, but all living things.
After the end of the seven-day festival.
I can't survive.
Maybe a few spirits will remain.
But by that time the man was already dead.
"But even you don't have too many clues, how to find this. Li Ning frowned.
Even if he dies, he will only travel back.
Mission failure.
But aren't all the people here doomed?
It's not that his heart is overflowing.
It's that there is an inexplicable trace of guilt in the psyche.
He didn't know if it was because of himself or because of his predecessor.
In short, if you don't investigate everything clearly, or even try to solve this matter.
There is a knot in my heart that I can't solve.
"We'll split up, you go to the town to look for it, and I continue to watch for zombies. Liu Su immediately said.
"Separate?" Li Ning's face froze.
"Don't worry, there are more people patrolling the town, and the probability of encountering danger is not high. Liu Su knew what he was worried about.
"Then be careful yourself. Li Ning was actually quite worried about her.
"Well—I'll be careful myself. Liu Su smiled bitterly and nodded.
