Chapter 22 A Good Official, But Not a Good Official
Pinglucheng, Zhang's house, in the courtyard.
This was originally the place where the bodies of the Zhang family were placed after the tragedy of the Zhang family.
Later, the body was removed, and it was also made a forbidden place for outsiders to enter and leave.
The courtyard, which has been unattended for several days, looks a little deserted.
But at this moment, a pitch-black ball was floating steadily above the clearing.
The orb does not appear to be disembodied, but is composed of an eerie energy.
With it as the center, the fog that shrouded the city, the weirdness that gathered around them, and the black qi emitted from their bodies, all surged towards the ball, and was absorbed and incorporated by it.
On the tower not far away, the city lord Li Xiuping, Wang Heng, and some of their trusted subordinates were standing at the top of the tower, watching what was happening in the Zhang family at this time.
"This should be the product formed after the formation was harvested. ”
As soon as the earthquake occurred, Li Xiuping and others determined the source and rushed here as quickly as possible.
But in the face of the product of the formation of the formation, Li Xiuping only dared to take everyone and watch from a short distance.
The records left in the county records told him not to act rashly.
On the street, Wei Wei is walking along the road, towards the courtyard of the Zhang family.
The courtyard gate blocked the entrance, and they smashed it open.
Like a moth to a fire, he came to the yard, came to the ball, and watched a trace of black gas gushing out of his body.
Rush towards the ball and let it grow stronger.
As the black air passed, the weirdos seemed to have lost all energy.
They fell to the ground, quickly rotted, melted.
More and more spooky are coming along the streets, from all parts of the city.
They all sacrificed the black qi that held them together, and then fell to the ground and disappeared into this world.
"It's almost taking shape. ”
On the tower on the side, Li Xiuping and others saw the change of the ball, and they all had such an idea in their hearts.
The strangeness wandering in the city has been absorbed by the sphere as nourishment and disappeared into this world.
Instead, the black gas on the surface of the sphere became more and more condensed and rounded.
It seems to be condensed from the previous illusory weirdness into a thing that really exists in this world.
The ball shook for a moment, as if to check whether the condensed body was suitable.
When Li Xiuping saw it, they were very nervous in their hearts, and they didn't even dare to come out with an atmosphere.
Under the gaze of everyone, the ball moved.
It seems that after waking up, you need to replenish your energy, or it may just be that you are simply not full.
The ball circled around Zhang's house and spun around.
"It's looking for prey!"
Seeing this, Li Xiuping's heart sank.
Sure enough, immediately after, he saw the ball and flew to the door of a family.
As if sensing the delicacy of its prey, the ball shook, and then, breaking through the wall, came to the house.
A black gas poured out from the ball, engulfing several people in the room.
When the black qi returned to the sphere, the few people in the room who were still alive had become dried corpses lying on the ground.
"It's devouring the blood of the living!"
Through the pierced walls, everyone saw what was happening inside the house.
A quick catcher couldn't hold it back, and he said to Wang Heng:
"Boss, I can't bear that monster devouring the living in front of us. ”
Wang Heng glanced at him, and then asked lightly:
"And what do you want?"
His hands clenched their fists, not hiding their anger in the slightest.
"Let's take action and kill that weirdness, with the boss and the city lord here, we can definitely do it. ”
Wang Heng sneered.
"What happens after you've been killed?"
"Save people, the people in the city are devoured alive by that strange thing, how can we sit idly by?"
It's just that when he stayed in the City Lord's Mansion and waited for the weirdness to happen, he didn't feel anything, but now that he saw it with his own eyes, he was born as a commoner, and he suddenly couldn't bear it.
The blood of his subordinates is stimulated by what is happening now.
Now, he just wants to get rid of the monster and save the people who are about to be swallowed by the orb from fire and water.
"If you do, you'll die. ”
"What about death? As a fast catcher, I am most unaccustomed to the rich who oppress the people.
Following the boss, punishing evil and promoting good, and doing the right thing for heaven is the proudest thing I have ever done in my life.
What if I could save the rest of the people from the hands of that treacherous creature, and I would be dead?"
Wang Heng glanced at him deeply, and then said quietly.
"You are a good officer, but you will never be a good officer. ”
Li Xiuping interrupted the conversation between the two, and he ordered:
"Alright, shut up.
This trick is not something we can deal with, even if there are other tricks besides it, there will be other tricks.
Some sacrifices are necessary!
Wang Heng stayed, everyone else went down, and prepared, this catastrophe is about to end. ”
Hearing the city lord's words, all his subordinates did not dare to object, and everyone withdrew from here one after another.
"Honest and upright, he will be a good official, but he will never be a good official.
If you know, you only need to be the city lord for a few days, and you can turn your personality around.
When a teacher dies, I won't have any regrets!"
Looking at the round ball moving wantonly underneath and constantly devouring the essence and blood of the living, Li Xiuping said suddenly.
"If I could, I'd rather not be the lord of the city. ”
Hearing his answer, Li Xiuping smiled.
"It's a pity, in the face of weirdness, this matter is not up to you.
Of course, I can't help it. ”
He went on to say:
"Pretending to be the lord of the city, pretending to be a messenger.
Now, there is no place for you to stand in this Pinglu City. ”
Wang Heng replied lightly:
"I understand. ”
"I'm going to let you go to Tongzhou, where the place is bigger and there are more opportunities.
happened to be a junior apprentice in the pharmacy, Lin An also wanted to go to Tongzhou to learn martial arts.
How?"
"The city lord spoke, I am a subordinate, how dare I have an opinion, the small one depends on the city lord Li. ”
Wang Heng said jokingly.
"In that case, I will contact my colleagues there, and when this calamity is over, you will set off together!"
After speaking, the two stopped talking.
I don't know how much essence blood has been devoured, and the movement of the round ball has become slow, and it seems that it has lost its previous desire.
I saw that it suddenly flew high into the air and began to circle around the sky above Pinglu City.
"It's finally coming to an end. ”
This is a sign of the end of the harvest.
Once the orb has absorbed enough blood, it will hover above it and then move away towards one.
At this point, the calamity in their city is over.
Li Xiuping was about to instruct his subordinates to get ready.
At this moment, he saw that the ball that was constantly circling in the sky suddenly stopped.
The ball flew in one direction in the middle of the city.
That's where the pharmacy is located.
Seeing this, Li Xiuping's face changed.
He clenched his fists, but in the end he had no choice but to let go.
There was no movement in the city for a long time.
The fog in the sky began to fade slowly.
A ray of sunlight shone down on the ground in front of him.
The harvest is over.
