Chapter 23: Human Trials I
Kitayama listened motionlessly, but did not look for it. It had nothing to do with her, and the voice was getting closer. Come to think of it, the man who wept bitterly was coming in this direction.
After a while, the man appeared near Beishan. At this time, the man was not crying bitterly, but muttering to himself, like a nervous disorder.
Suddenly, the man saw Beishan standing on the side of the road, staggered over, knelt in front of him with a "plop", and some dirty hands tightly dragged the corners of Beishan's skirt, and instantly scratched the dirt there.
Beishan's eyes were cold, looking at the dirty face and clothes of the man in front of him, he took a step back, but he didn't expect the man to grasp it very firmly, his bloodshot eyes looked straight at Beishan, and asked in a trembling voice: "Do you see, see, see a child?" Me, I'm looking for my child, my child is gone, do you see it? Did you see that? He was five years old, a little boy, wearing a black tracksuit, and he was gone. As he spoke, he let go of his hands tugging at the corners of his skirt and began to cry bitterly again.
The man was still crying and pulling his unkempt hair with his hands, and cried out in pain: "Yangyang, my child, where are you?" Dad is so useless, I can't find you, I lost you, woo woo woo ......"
Looking at the man who was kneeling on the ground and hugging his head and crying, the coldness on Beishan's face melted, but he was still silent.
In fact, the mood is a little messy.
Suddenly, the man stood up and ran away in a panic, Kitayama's eyes couldn't help but follow the man who was running, and it turned out that a couple had appeared in front of him. Kitayama watched from afar as the man went away with hope, but was pushed away by the couple as a psycho and fell to the ground, and he actually got up with a grunt, and continued to run forward with a bump, asking around. The back was full of sadness and despair.
It wasn't until the man's back had completely disappeared into the night that Kitayama withdrew his gaze.
"Squeak", a car stopped in front of Beishan, Li Cong hurriedly got out of the car, and said in a panic: "I'm sorry, boss, I'm really damned, I'm late." ā
"It's okay, let's go!"
The car started and left the place.
Kitayama looked out of the car window and saw that the scenery on both sides was rapidly regressing. At this time, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening, and there were not many pedestrians on the street, and it seemed that the street that was bustling with activity on weekdays was much deserted. Kitayama's thoughts had long since disappeared as the car was moving.
Suddenly, a familiar figure appeared in Kitayama's field of vision, and Kitayama instantly sat up straight, the man looking for the lost child.
Looking at the figure of the man wandering around the street and asking, like a madman, it makes people feel desolate.
Beishan's face, which was touched in his heart, was still cold, just looking at it, and there was no other action. The car drove past the man, gradually driving farther and farther until the man's figure completely disappeared into the darkness of the night.
"Stop!" Beishan's sudden voice almost startled Li Cong, and he stopped the car with some confusion.
"Reverse the car."
Li Cong, who was already a little confused, could only suppress the doubts in his heart, turned the car around according to the boss's instructions, and drove back.
Not long after driving, Li Cong was no longer surprised when he heard the boss's stop order to exit again.
"Squeak", the car stopped, Li Cong opened the car door, watched his boss get out of the car and walked towards a person sitting on the street, and hurriedly followed behind.
"Yangyang, Yangyang, my good baby, where are you? Where are you? My good baby, Yangyang. My good baby, where are you? I saw the man repeating these words over and over again, and it turned out that he was still the one who lost the child.
Kitayama stood in front of the man, looking at his sometimes crying and sometimes smiling appearance, and finally spoke, "Do you want to find your child?" ā
Such words are not easy for a thunderbolt to explode, instantly woke up the man who was crying, only to see him raise his head, look at Beishan in front of him, his eyes bloomed with dazzling light, suddenly stretched out his arm and grabbed the corner of Beishan's skirt, like grasping a life-saving straw, and asked eagerly and nervously: "Have you seen my child?" Do you know where he is? Where is he? Where is he? As he spoke, the man looked around desperately, as if his child would suddenly jump out. I looked around, but found that it was just in vain.
The man looked at Beishan again, his gray face full of longing: "Please, sue me, where is my child?" Where is he? ā
"I can help you, what can you do for me?" Kitayama's words again completely drove the man insane.
The man was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly kowtowed frantically, and the sound of "bangbang" echoed in the silent street, until the blood flowed down his forehead, and the man was still unconscious, and kept kowtowing, as if the child could appear next to him immediately.
One hand held the man's head, stopping him from kowtowing. Beishan said softly: "Come with me, I'll help you find the child." ā
Seeing the man sit on the ground in an instant, Kitayama withdrew his hand, turned around and left here, and walked towards the car.
Sitting in the car, Kitayama looked at the paralyzed man and suddenly straightened up and stood up, walked quickly, and also got into the car.
With one more passenger, the car restarted and left the place.
"Li Cong, you prepare some food and clothes for me and him, I will go to Mengshan overnight." Hearing Beishan's order, Li Cong, who had enough doubts tonight, had to comply.
Back to Shannan Wild Game, Li Cong hurriedly entered the store and arranged for the man to take a bath and change clothes, after all, he was too dirty. Kitayama also returned to his room to change into his dress and put on a neat dress.
As soon as he cleaned up, when Beishan returned to the car, Li Cong and the man were already sitting in the car, and the man still looked very good after taking a shower and changing clothes, although he was not a handsome guy, but he was also a little handsome, and he was quite attractive.
The car started again and went straight to Mengshan, several people did not speak along the way, and the whole car was extremely quiet.
Soon, the car reached the foot of Mengshan Mountain but did not stop but continued to drive until it reached the mountainside. The three of them got out of the car, Li Cong took out the things he had prepared, and drove away under Beishan's order, leaving only Beishan and the man.
It was late at night, and everything was silent. Looking at the man's puzzled expression, Beishan gave him the backpack and asked him to carry it, and then headed in the direction of Tianzhu Peak.
Along the way, Kitayama's speed was not fast, of course, this was relative to her previous speed, but it was extremely fast for the man, who had to run forward, but was still left behind.
The belief in finding his child gave him a strong will, and even though he had not eaten or slept properly for several days and was exhausted, the man gritted his teeth and followed.
However, after walking for a while, the mountain road became rough and uneven, which made it more difficult for the man to go up the mountain, but no matter how rugged the mountain road was, it could not compare to the despair of not being able to find the child. The man, who was already sweating profusely, panting, and seemed to be going to faint at any moment, clenched his fists, tensed his muscles and insisted, he did not dare to ask, he did not dare to stop, maybe once he stopped, it would be a desperate restart. He pinned all his hopes on Kitayama.
A mountain suddenly appeared in front of him, and Tianzhu Peak arrived.
Standing at the foot of Tianzhu Peak, Beishan looked at Tianzhu Peak, looked at the person behind him who was crumbling and about to faint, his eyes bloomed with a different light, and said: "You should know that there is no free lunch in the world, I have a price for helping you, I don't know if you can bear this price, now I only ask you once, do you regret it?" If you regret it, I'll let Li Cong pick you up from the mountain, and I'll treat you as if I've never seen you before. ā
"I don't regret it, no matter what the price is, as long as I can find the child, even if I turn into a demon and fall into the hell of Ah Nose, I will have no regrets until I die."
Listening to the man's categorical answer, the corners of Beishan's mouth hooked slightly, revealing a smile, his beautiful eyes turned, he looked at Tianzhu Peak, and said, "Okay, welcome to hell!" After saying that, Kitayama spit out a long forked tongue like a snake letter, and a "hiss" sound came from above, and the seeping sound spread and floated towards the four fields.
"Rustling", there was a sudden sound of branches and leaves shaking in the distance, and came straight here, the man did not see the snake letter of Beishan in the dim night, but just stared closely at the place where the sound came from.
Suddenly, something came out, it was No. 2, but I didn't expect it to arrive first, and then a gust of wind blew, and No. 1 fell from the sky.
Looking at the two eerie creatures, the man was stunned at first, and then suddenly burst out laughing, his laughter was full of madness, and he said while laughing: "Okay, good, I didn't expect that there are really demons in the world, since there are so many filthy things in the world, why not become demons?" Ha ha. ā
With a "plop", the man suddenly knelt in front of Beishan and said seriously: "Master, I will never regret it!" ā
Beishan didn't say anything about the man's deferential appearance, but looked at No. 1 and ordered, "No. 1, you take him to the Heavenly Pillar Peak." After speaking, Beishan rushed up with an arrow step, and was more than 20 meters high in one jump. With the help of the protruding stone wall as a fulcrum, it disappeared to the peak in just a dozen steps.
The man looked at Beishan's amazing appearance in fascination, and suddenly felt that his body was touched, and the next second his body was tightly encircled by something, and then his whole body rose out of the ground and into the air in a gust of wind.
Looking down, it turned out that No. 1's tail curled up and flapped his wings and flew towards the peak, while No. 2 was running on the mountain wall with his powerful limbs, as if walking on the ground.
Feeling the feeling of weightlessness in his body, even though the body being wrapped up was uncomfortable, the man felt a feeling of pleasure rushing to his heart, which he had never felt since the child was lost. Seeing that the peak was in front of him, there was only one thought left in the man's heart at this time: "Dapeng rises with the wind one day and soars up to 90,000 miles." ā
Number 1 took the man to the summit and let him go. Looking at the North Mountain standing next to the waterhole, the man's still somewhat muddy thoughts suddenly cleared up a lot.
Kitayama turned his head to look at the man, "How does it feel to fly?" ā
"Yes, great! Carefree.! ā
"Are you ready to pay the price?"
"Master, I will pay any price to find my child as long as I can."
"Well, in that case, then let you see my true identity!" As soon as the cold words were finished, in front of the man's eyes, the door of another world opened to him, and Beishan instantly turned into the appearance of a human body and a snake tail, and the two-meter-long snake tail swayed wantonly behind him, which was very terrifying.
A pair of black vertical pupils suddenly stared at the man in front of him, exuding an evil and cruel light. However, after a few days of hard work, the negative feelings on Kitayama's body have worsened again, which is especially obvious in the snake demon.
Looking at the man's indifferent, unfrightened or obsessed expression from beginning to end, Kitayama did not appreciate it greatly. This person is really not simple, the first time he saw his true body was extremely calm, and there was no unbearable behavior, just with his courage, the world is not as good as him.
"Yes, seeing me like this, you are still so calm, what is your name?"
The man actually showed a smile, and a sense of elegance flowed out, and said; "Master, you have a good reputation, I was puzzled by how you managed to recover those two ferocious creatures, but now that I see your true body, I suddenly realize. Only a demonic figure like you can make them bow down. My name is Xie Zheng, if the master doesn't like it, you can give me a name. ā
"No need."
Finding a child is the most important thing, and Kitayama doesn't want to waste time. She took out a cup and cut through the skin with her fingers as usual, and blood flowed into the cup, a thousand milliliters. The mutations of No. 1 and No. 2 used 400 milliliters of blood by themselves, and because of the delay in the matter, the follow-up Shi YĆ n did not follow up.
But humans and animals are different after all, at least in terms of body size, in order to increase the probability of success, but also to observe how much mutation will occur in the human body by increasing the amount of his own blood, Kitayama decided to increase the dose this time.
But I took a thousand milliliters of blood from myself at a time, and even with my own strength, Kitayama felt a little uncomfortable in his body, it seems. It's unrealistic to experiment with multiple people at once. After all, one's own blood is limited.
Beishan handed the quilt full of his own blood to Xie Zheng, his eyes showed a different kind of gaze, and he said, "Drink it!" Your life will change from then on. ā
Xie Zheng didn't say a word, reached out and took the quilt from Beishan's hand, raised his head and drank it, the pungent bloody breath rushed straight up, but Xie Zheng didn't even frown.
This discomfort is nothing compared to the pain of losing a child.
"Ah" As soon as he drank the blood in the cup, Xie Zheng screamed in pain, and then smashed his head with his fist, as if something was going on in his head.
This kind of behavior did not relieve Xie Zheng's pain, but the pain became more and more intense, Xie Zheng had already rolled to the ground, holding his head and wailing miserably, the original elegant and delicate appearance became like a powerful ghost who chose people to devour.
Seeing Xie Zheng's struggling and screaming appearance, Beishan didn't make any other moves, just stared at him tightly, waiting for the change to come. At the same time, I thought in my heart that the process of transformation was so painful that the future reality could only be carried out in the mountains for the time being, otherwise it would attract the attention of others. Unlike now, even if Xie Zheng struggled and screamed greatly, no one would notice it in the dark and uninhabited mountains.
The mutation is coming, starting from the lower body, in Xie Zheng's crazy struggle, the pants on the lower body have long been worn to tatters, and with the beginning of the mutation, they instantly turned into pieces, Beishan was not embarrassed, and still looked at Xie Zheng with cold eyes.
It can be seen with the naked eye that Xie Zheng's sturdy legs are covered by snake scales little by little, until the entire lower half of his body is covered with snake scales, and then in the blink of an eye, Xie Zheng's lower body has changed into a snake tail with some colorful patterns in the black. Xie Zheng's upper body has not changed much, but the muscles in his body are much stronger and tighter, and the color of his skin has changed from fair to bronze, making the lines of his body more smooth and graceful. The appearance has changed slightly, it is still Xie Zheng's original appearance, but the skin is more delicate, especially the distance between the eyebrows, eyes, mouth and nose is more in line with the aesthetics of the human body under the slight mobilization, even if it has not changed much, it gives people an extremely comfortable feeling, and the temperament level has risen sharply.
When he opened his eyes, a pair of brown vertical pupils were embedded in the handsome face, like the finishing touch, and the snake gene on Xie Zheng's body was activated in an instant, and a demonic aura rose from his body, accompanied by the wanton swing of the snake's tail, announcing that another evil monster had come to the world.
