Book 1, Volume 1, Desert Ghost Town, Chapter 30: Homecoming
A week later, in the early morning, the town on the edge of the desert was as calm as ever, and the people who lived here still guarded the untold secrets of the desert.
"It's great to finally see the town. "A person dressed as a ragged beggar appeared at a gas station on the outskirts of the desert, at this time Zhang Lingjin knew the bad things about the immortal body, obviously he was about to die of hunger, but there was no way to lose consciousness, and the body could continue to move, if it weren't for the storm of the pit man that blew him out, and he brought a graduated watch to confirm the direction, it is estimated that he would more likely choose to lie quietly in the desert in a daze.
......
"Beggars don't come in!"
"Damn, it's like this... Is this place so afraid of seeing people?" has connected several stores, trying to make a free call or something, but was directly kicked out, Zhang Lingjin had no choice, so he had to confirm the location first and then find a way, after all, he didn't even know where this place was.
Wandering around this street aimlessly, to be honest, even if he has been exposed to so many strange fantasy things, if he really starts to come into contact with human society, Zhang Lingjin will have a feeling that everything about himself is just a dream, sixteen nights of Cangwei, dragons, supernatural ruins... Nothing feels real, and everything in the past is starting to become dreamy, but when it comes to it, it's a good dream.
When Zhang Lingjin was wandering around looking for a sign that could confirm the place, a very luxurious-looking sedan stopped beside him, although he didn't recognize the brand of the car, but it was not a bargain to look at the style.
"Excuse me, are you in trouble?" The car door opened, and out came a girl with a sweet voice and a very beautiful appearance.
"Huh? Lost. Zhang Lingjin originally thought that the other party was not asking herself, after all, judging from her previous experience, even ordinary people here don't seem to treat her, but she didn't expect that the girl like the other party who looks like everyone's girlfriend is really talking to the person who is no different from her current beggar?
"Then, come to my house, my father will help you well. That innocent smile made Zhang Lingjin, who had met all the perverts in the past few days, seem to see an angel, and hurriedly thanked him.
"It's okay, it's our family's tradition to help others, my name is Zhang Xiaoyu. Xiaoyu looked backwards, and the two bodyguards opened the car door, "Come in." β
"Hmm. Zhang Lingjin hurriedly thanked Zhang Xiaoyu for following him into the car, and brought a bodyguard with him, she was really the daughter of a rich family, and she could be helpful in such a situation... In this world, there are still many good people.
Circling around the street, but twenty minutes, after many turns, the car drove into a magnificent villa manor, although it was gorgeous, but compared with what he saw and heard in the depths of the desert, Zhang Lingjin found that he could deal with it safely.
"Your house is so big. "Of course, it doesn't matter if you feel emotional.
"No, it's just a bit big. Zhang Xiaoyu smiled gently.
"Isn't the security here very bad? Why are there so many bodyguards? There are a lot of missing person notices on the street. Ling Jin looked through the car window and found that he could see a bodyguard almost every ten meters, and after the life and death experience in the desert, he could keenly feel that although everyone here was an ordinary person, almost all of them were masters.
"No, it's just my father's habit. Zhang Xiaoyu patiently answered for Zhang Lingjin, not at all like those outside who discriminated against his current identity.
is really a perfect girl, Ling Jin couldn't help but praise secretly in her heart.
"Eh, your father?"
"Well, but he doesn't like to meet people very much when he works in medicine, and he always stays alone in the laboratory at home, so you don't have to worry too much. Zhang Xiaoyu showed the patient smile she had always had, "Let's go wash up first, you seem to be looking for someone, let him help you when my father comes out tomorrow, you can walk around in the house at will, I will have someone call you for dinner." β
Because there are so many bodyguards, can you rest assured that I, a stranger, can walk around casually? It's really a pretty good family, can help others to this extent, Zhang Lingjin has no misunderstanding about this, after all, the strength of other bodyguards is there, and he looks like an ordinary person who doesn't hurt anything.
The comfortable afternoon and evening meal passed quickly, Zhang Lingjin lay quietly on the bed, her thoughts were drifting, should she really contact Xin Yue and them? It seems that it is not bad to return to her previous stable life quietly, you don't have to face these anymore, and she has always just wanted to be a peaceful citizen.
"Damn, wouldn't I have fallen asleep a long time ago when I'm so tired at this time?" Lying on the comfortable big bed, Zhang Lingjin couldn't fall asleep from tossing and turning, and the feeling of her body was weird.
"Isn't he born to live this kind of upper-class life?" Zhang Lingjin laughed at himself, but he couldn't sleep anyway, so he simply put on the new clothes that Zhang Xiaoyu had prepared for him, walked out of the room, and prepared to walk around.
"Anyway, this house is really big, she is also a rich daughter, she is so beautiful and helpful, it's perfect. Zhang Lingjin, who had separated from them, completely relaxed, and it seemed that his normal life had finally returned.
"Eh, why is the night bright?" Ling Jin, who was wandering through the corridor admiring the mural, suddenly felt the index finger of his left hand tighten, and the silver-white rose ring began to glow with a faint blue light.
"It's... No, could it be that Cang Wei is also here, and it's around here?" Zhang Lingjin seemed to remember that Cang Wei said that Cang Wei could feel her presence in the Night Ring, "She seemed to have been knocked out by Xianyue and taken away, there is that kind of person, she should be fine." β
For the sixteenth night Cangwei, Zhang Lingjin's feeling is really a little tangled, although he has saved her a few times, but mainly relying on the power of Mocheng, but this naΓ―ve girl really regarded him as a hero, and confessed to herself in front of Dao Chongxianyue...... Now they can meet in this situation, are they really fateful?
"However, this induction also... It's too weak. Zhang Lingjin stretched out the sensitive fingers of his left hand that were exercised for pulse diagnosis, and calmed down to feel it carefully.
"What is it in this direction?" Zhang Lingjin followed the induction of the night ring suspiciously, due to the exercise of nearly two months, he was no longer the frail doctor, although those bodyguards were very powerful, but the sentry stations were still very scattered, in order not to get into trouble, he skillfully avoided the bodyguards in the courtyard, and followed the intermittent feeling, Lingjin came to the door of a flat-roofed warehouse in the backyard.
"What the hell? Why is it here? The Night Ring can't be broken, right?" Although he was puzzled, Zhang Lingjin still used the lockpicking technique that Chen Linxuan taught him when he was bored in the car to unlock the restrictions on the warehouse.
"Damn, people are kind enough to entertain you, you still come to be a thief, I hope you don't get ......" Zhang Lingjin's hands opened the movable iron door, and a bloody smell mixed with the smell of chemical potions forced him to mumble back to himself.
"Open... Just kidding. For a while, Zhang Lingjin's gaze was almost dull, his legs staggered, and he almost fell to his knees, but he still walked forward with his trembling legs, "Hey... Feed... Cang Wei, answer me, it's not you, right?"
Under the background of the moonlight, a hellish scene emerged in Ling Jin's eyes, what kind of warehouse is this, this is completely a secret laboratory embedded in the underground or a torture chamber, the inverted and terrifying corpse, twisted and deformed to the point that the prototype is completely unrecognizable, the corpse looks like two worm maggots twisted together, and the scattered muscle tissue is more like a fresh organ that is constantly splitting after the experiment, because there can still be a faint hoarse moan at the end of the darkness.
And in the empty space in the middle, Sixteen Nights Cangwei, her hands were tied and hung on the iron chain in the middle, her whole body was naked, and her eyes were stains of blood that had coagulated on her face, and it seemed that her eyes had been blinded, and her body that had made Zhang Lingjin red-faced and red-eared was covered with large and small scars, including knife wounds, scorch marks, and corrosion......
"It's not you, Cang Wei!" Walking over with difficulty, Zhang Lingjin stroked the cheek that was almost half stripped of his face, what are you kidding, the dangerous environment of the desert ghost town has come to life, how can you die here! The bones of the limbs are basically broken, and although the main internal organs are broken, they are not fatal, obviously a situation that only occurs when they are tortured to death.
Be careful, there are often cases of missing people around here... Before leaving, Lin Xinyue's words suddenly sounded in Ling Jin's mind like thunder, could it be that this is still...
"Yo, you're really anxious to find this place. Zhang Xiaoyu's voice came from the door, "I originally planned to let you test my father's new experimental conclusions if you were still alive tomorrow." β
"Why do you want to do this?" Zhang Lingjin turned his back to her, and the night covered his cheeks, but he didn't have to guess to know from his tone how angry his expression was now.
"Why? What's the reason? I'm obviously a pariah, but I want to grow so beautiful, and my hair is so soft, but I've been worrying about my curly hair, you say, isn't she damned?"
The direction that Zhang Xiaoyu's fingers pointed to was a pile of minced meat that had been dismembered and could not be seen clearly, and from the torn clothes, Ling Jin could still recognize that it was Naoto Omi arranged by Xianyue beside Cang Wei.
"If you really want to ask me why I did this, because I'm better than you, aren't I? The strong live, the weak die, it's simple! A bunch of ...... on the streets."
"Shut up!" Zhang Lingjin's roar interrupted Zhang Xiaoyu's words, "She's not a pariah, you dead woman, remember it for me, her name is Sixteen Nights Cangwei, and she is my Zhang Lingjin's fiancΓ©e!"
"I'm going to kill you!" he turned around and looked up, his eyes filled with crazy killing intent.
What kind of joke is it that the weak should be tortured and killed at will by such madmen, and if they are stronger than others, they can do whatever they want? Although ordinary people will succumb to absolute violent institutions, this kind of killing, which is completely an individual act, is... Is he crazy, or is the world crazy?!
"Oh, what can you do without defense, and how long can you last? Even the drugs don't work against you, and I'm really curious. Zhang Xiaoyu's smile was ugly in Lingjin's eyes at the moment, "My father is engaged in medical research, and besides, he is the vice president of the Edge Science Research Institute, the virus in your body is the latest experimental product." β
For a while, there were already a large number of bodyguards around.
"It's dinner... It's really... Bastard..."Zhang Lingjin, who was surging with blood and blood, spit out several mouthfuls of blood in a row, no wonder he felt that something was wrong with his body, but he didn't know what was going on, so he slowly took a deep breath and relieved the dull feeling of suffocation.
"Oh, you're not dead yet?" Zhang Xiaoyu looked at Ling Jin, who was still gasping for breath, with some surprise, "It's really a new record." β
"Bang!"
A shot pierced Zhang Lingjin's heart, and Zhang Xiaoyu smiled cruelly, "Although I really want to continue to lock you up for observation, but now, I don't like you anymore, and your use value is gone." β
"I'm sorry, in... Before I killed you..."Zhang Lingjin trembled and stood up again from the pool of blood, he felt for the first time how useful the immortal body of Baimo City was, if he had obtained other powerful abilities, he would have died a long time ago and could not die anymore, but now, as long as he could endure it, he could kill them one by one!
"Kind of interesting, Adeptus?Anan, A-Yuan, you guys, kill him for me. β
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" ......
Intensive shooting, bullets raining in, such a close distance, such a short time, there is no way to dodge!
But Zhang Lingjin has no intention of hiding at all, if he can avoid it, if he can't avoid it, he will use his body to resist, the anger of revenge covers up the pain of his body, no matter how bloody it is, no matter how many times he has been maimed and killed in the eyes of the other party, he is still moving forward step by step in the rain of guns.
"Get a knife, give it to me!" Zhang Xiaoyu was a little panicked, tonight's experiment began to make her feel frightened, what is this? This is no longer the concept of strong resilience, no matter how strong the resilience is, there must be a limit, okay? Undead monsters?
The bodyguards threw away the guns in their hands, took the knives from the nearby shelves, and rushed towards Lingjin en masse.
Zhang Lingjin was just a doctor, he wouldn't have the same exquisite sword moves as Lin Xuan and Qinghuan, but now, in addition to the pain, he actually began to feel the power surging in his blood, it was the Night Ring!
He began to become extraordinarily calm, so calm that he felt incredible, usually only when he saw a doctor would have such a concentration of mental power, his eyes seemed to have only the opponent left, his right hand stretched out, almost instinctively called, his fingertips flickered out countless extremely thin silk threads, waved his arms, and cut off the four people in front, their upper bodies turned in a circle in the air, fell to the ground, splashed a pool of blood.
Innate talent, spirit silk - ever-changing!
"This is... What does it feel like to kill someone?" Zhang Lingjin looked blankly at the silk threads around him, as a doctor, especially in the true sense of Chinese medicine, he was naturally more familiar with the weaknesses of the human body.
With a wave of his hands, the spirit silk formed a large web in the air, covering all the space from his side to the door like a spider web, penetrating all the acupuncture points on the bodyguards, and skewering them into an incomparably terrifying humanoid porcupine.
"No... Don't kill me, let me escape, I'm willing to do anything!" Zhang Xiaoyu, who was tightly bound by the spirit silk, hurriedly begged for mercy, the pitiful appearance and the crying face of the pear blossoms and rain were enough to make the men fall for it, the situation here has reached the limit of her mental endurance, this guy... What I brought back this time is an undead monster!
"Escape?The people who were deceived by you, have they begged you?Will you let them escape?" The terrifying smile on the corner of Zhang Lingjin's mouth combined with his blood-drenched clothes made people feel creepy out of thin air, "Are you really willing to do anything?"
"It's... of..."
"Then, I want to ask you to experience what you have imposed on those who do not be deceived by your appearance..."Ling Jin's hands and five fingers folded, "Fear and despair!"
Zhang Xiaoyu didn't answer, because she couldn't answer anymore, the sharp spirit silk had already cut her into more than a dozen pieces, and her internal organs and body were scattered all over the ground.
Zhang Lingjin withdrew the spirit silk and calmly looked at the puddle of minced meat on the ground, which was a beautiful and vicious girl who used to be, "Don't be afraid, your parents will come down to accompany you soon." β
"Wait, the Night Ring still reacted just now, that is to say..."Zhang Lingjin's eyes, who were silent, suddenly opened, as long as you still have a breath, Cang Wei, wait for me!
Waving the bundles of spiritual silk that gathered into bundles cut the chains that tied Cang Wei's hands, Zhang Lingjin held Cang Wei with his left hand, and quickly sealed Cang Wei's qi veins with the silk needle condensed by the spiritual silk with his right hand, and the three pulses were paired, yes, although the pulse was extremely weak, there was still a pulse!
He hurriedly divided the spirit silk into six strands on his left and right hands, and connected them to the twelve main veins of Cang Wei's hands respectively, "Old man, you'd better pray that the stories you tell are not lies, otherwise I will tear down the hospital when I go back! Hey, hold on, I don't want to lose a bride named Cang Wei at my wedding!
Fortunately, the spirit silk can be stretched under his own control, Zhang Lingjin quickly solved the remaining people in the manor under the condition of ensuring Cang Wei's safety, including the so-called vice president of the marginal academy of sciences, changed into clean clothes, and helped Cang Wei find a piece of silk to be covered and carried up in the car, and then set fire to this huge manor villa, of course, he also dealt with their human torture room a little, he knew that the above would definitely send someone to deal with it here, so he didn't deal with it in detail when the time was pressing.
It's the first time to kill someone, but he's so skilled, a killer who takes people's lives, a doctor who saves people's lives, sometimes, it's just a thought.
Picking up a mobile phone, Ling Jin took a deep breath and dialed the number that Qing Huan forced him to remember on the first day, and he thought he would never call again, and it was connected, it was a strange man, "Headquarters identification code, 874456GXKI, send a helicopter over, I'm waiting for you at the gas station on the outskirts of this town." β
Hung up the phone, threw the phone into the fire, and drove the car when it came, Zhang Lingjin took Cang Wei and left the burning hell on earth.
"Immortal Ghost Doctor", looking at the burning manor in the rearview mirror, a ridiculous name flashed in Zhang Lingjin's mind.
He didn't know the exact latitude and longitude here, but he believed that the organization would definitely be able to locate it, he didn't want to escape, he had always fled enough! He couldn't even protect the people who really loved him, for the first time, Ling Jin felt disappointed in himself, thinking of this, looking at the sixteenth night Cangwei who still had a trace of life from the rearview mirror, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but cross a helpless smile.
"You've really been dragged into the pit. β
