Chapter 172: Looking for Death
Seeing that I was about to leave, the engineer hurriedly jumped to my side, and the courteous enthusiasm I had faced Tian Xin before was long gone, and I looked at him a little amused.
According to the logic of ordinary people, Tian Xin only appeared abnormal after being touched by me, so shouldn't I be the one he should be afraid of?
Could it be that he was deliberately acting in front of me, and they had already formed an alliance in private?
"Since you're suspicious of me, why don't you ask me about my purpose?" After a short period of panic, Tian Xin quickly regained his self-confidence.
"For example... Why did Professor Fang cheat the corpse? Or, the cause of his death? I didn't move, I just turned my head sideways and squinted at her.
"Looks like you've guessed my problem, so don't you want to know how to save them?"
"How?"
"It's actually very simple, the sap of the Nine Lotus Tree." Tian Xin said with a smile, but her smile was really not flat, she said this is nothing more than to let us risk getting closer to the Nine Lotus Wood again, whether it is true or not, this sinister intention alone made me move to kill.
"You go out first." I said to the engineer next to me.
The Engineer's gaze circled between the two of us, and finally hesitantly answered, and walked out the door and down the stairs.
I sent two corpse puppets to guard the door and close the door again, the calmness on Tian Xin's face could no longer be maintained, and his eyes stared at me vigilantly.
But the other two puppets pounced on her before she could make a move, and one of them fixed her head with both hands so that her eyes were level with mine.
"What are you going to do?" Her eyes widened in horror as she approached me.
"I'm glad you're human." I haven't used puppetry, in a long time. In fact, I don't have enough confidence in my heart, because Tian Xin's body is maintained by evil arts, and I am not sure how much she can be controlled.
S City is full of life, I am in good shape, and although Tian Xin's physical functions have mutated, her nervous system is still the same as that of a human.
She was very repulsed by being controlled by me, her eyes were full of shock and fear, but under the powerful mental suppression, she could not resist my instructions at all.
I didn't plan to investigate her behavior before, because I thought she had nothing to do with Lin Min, she was just a spirit who took advantage of the chaos to get into S City for personal gain.
If it weren't for her repeated verbal provocations. He also tried to pull me into the gang. I didn't bother to waste my energy on her, and now, by controlling her, I asked by the way something she didn't tell us.
I don't know if I ask, and I'm shocked when I ask!
No wonder she stayed in the second courtyard of the city for so long. It turned out to be her nest where she hid her corpse. She locked the corpses that had been poisoned by the incense of the corpses in the cold storage under the hospital.
"What did you say?" I listened to her. Leng Buding came up with a familiar name and couldn't help asking.
"I said that it would not be possible to keep the body unlocked, and the sound of horns would sound at the hospital in the middle of the night. The corpses rushed over there as if they were enchanted. Tian Xin replied with a slumped head, looking like a frosted eggplant.
"Horn ......"
"That's right, what is the wake-up call, it blows in the middle of the night every day, it's annoying!"
The Awakening was later taken by Lin Min, and it is not surprising that it appeared here, which would explain why there were traces of battles everywhere in the city but not a single corpse could be found.
"You can't control the corpse that has been succumbed to the corpse?"
"IāI'm just trying to eat something fresh, to control... Didn't think about it! ā
"The sap of the Nine Lotus Tree is an antidote, and you made it up?"
"Yes, but don't blame me, someone taught me to say that."
"Who?"
"The current overlord of S City."
"Lin Min? Zhao Le? ā
"No, he said his name is Wu Nian, yes, it's Wu Nian!"
Hearing this name, my heart tightened, Wu Nian was actually the person behind S City?!
I didn't expect it to be him, so I hurriedly asked Tian Xin when he had seen him, and the date Tian Xin replied was the day before we entered S City.
In this way, it seems that Wu Nian did not stay on the island, and there was no accident, he was even one step faster than our movements, and rushed to S City first.
"Do you know where he is?" I asked.
"I don't know, he's very mysterious, and he's very dangerous, and when those red eyes look at me, I'm so scared that my skin is about to crack!"
"I see." I nodded, and put my fingertips between Tian Xin's eyebrows, her eyes widened in disbelief, and she turned into a dried corpse without even screaming.
It will only harm people and there is no way to save her, it is useless to keep her, I asked the corpse puppet to carry her to the third floor, and the group of experts upstairs is still studying Professor Fang's body for half a day.
When the people surrounding Professor Fang's corpse saw that I had brought in another dried corpse, they all looked left and right, as if they wanted to confirm who the dead person was.
"It's Tian Xin." I'll simply give the answer.
"She's dead too?!" Professor Du and Professor Qin glanced at each other, and the worry on their faces was even worse.
"Did you get any results?" I asked Dr. Xiang Yang.
"It's a pity." He shook his head and said.
"Then don't study it, go downstairs and get some rest." I asked the corpse puppet to put Tian Xin's body in the corner, and then took the lead downstairs.
Walking to the corner of the stairs on the second floor and the first floor, I saw the engineer squatting in the corner and fiddling with the flashlight, and when he saw me coming down, he hurriedly stood up, I guessed that he had something to say, so I stopped and waited for him to speak first.
He hesitated for a few seconds, but what I didn't expect: "I know how to detoxify." ā
I waited patiently for him to say the following, he raised his eyes and glanced at me quickly, then quickly lowered his head, and said, "The poison of the corpse incense has different effects on different people, and Professor Fang is the weakest, so he died of poison so quickly." ā
I nodded to show that I was listening, and asked him to continue, he licked his dry lips, and continued: "There is an ancient jade under the Nine Lotus Tree, which can solve all the strange poisons in the world, as long as you find it, everyone will be saved." ā
Ancient jade? I frowned slightly, thinking in my heart, could it be the one Professor Rong said?
The engineer was not simple, I smiled at him, I wanted to tell him not to be afraid, but he was so stiff by my laughter that he held back the conversation.
I was speechless for a while, took two steps closer to him, and tried to pat him on the shoulder to make him relax, but he suddenly stepped back, his back hit the wall, and his arms crossed his chest, looking like an innocent girl meeting a pervert at night.
"Okay, how do you know that?" I withdrew my hand curtly and asked directly.
"I... I'm actually here for Gu Yu. He replied honestly.
"Oh? Is it a special assignment given to you by Director Bai? ā
"No, it's not." He looked upstairs and downstairs nervously, and then lowered his voice and said: "This matter involves a big secret of the Chinese nation, Lin Min stole the ancient jade, and the person in charge of keeping the secret is looking for it, I'm just an errand runner, come and take a stand!"
