001 Waste Fruit
On Christmas Eve this year, Chen Yexing received one of the few gifts in his life, although it was issued by the company, a finely packaged imported apple.
This year, Chen Yexing was twenty-eight years old, an older and small farmer, with no social circle, living in a bustling foreign city, repeating his 9-to-5 life every day, and before he even had time to talk about the object, his figure had begun to be out of shape.
Maybe it was a sin created in his previous life, he never thought that it was such a company gift that everyone had, and after eating it, he was poisoned and unconscious, and after the world turned around, his life was completely turned over, more straightforward than a Hello World program.
Chen Yexing was still calm, and when he opened his eyes again, he saw a bleak bamboo forest all over the mountains, dead leaves dancing in the air filled his vision, a dozen masked corpses with ugly dead faces scattered around him, and the strange cries of birds in the forest rose one after another in the dim twilight.
If it weren't for the fact that there were a lot of horror movies I had watched, this scene would have scared Chen Yexing out of a cold sweat, and when he looked up, in addition to these dozen corpses, there was a young man in black standing more than ten meters away.
The young man was dressed in ancient costume, with messy black hair covering his embarrassed face, and he looked to be between seventeen or eighteen years old, and he was good-looking and handsome.
He held a green steel long sword in his hand, his heavy gaze never left Chen Yexing, and the other party's blood-red eyes locked on him, as if he was facing a great enemy.
This inexplicable dream made Chen Yexing have palpitations, he subconsciously wanted to turn himself over, he knew that he was lying on the hospital bed at this time, before he was poisoned and unconscious, he ordered the night's takeout as usual, and he remembered that it was the takeaway brother who sent him to the hospital.
Chen Yexing couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, if he hadn't ordered that takeout, if nothing happened, no one should know that he had been poisoned, and he would die alone, until the corpse was rotten and the stench was unbearable, no one would find him crawling with maggots, and life was sometimes like a nightmare.
Tomorrow he has to go on a business trip, Chen Yexing desperately wants to wake up from this dream, and his body struggles a few times, but he does not wake up as he wishes, but in exchange for the surging severe pain, which makes his body spasm.
Cold sweat broke out on Chen Yexing's back, and the picture in front of him had not changed, it was still a sky full of bamboo leaves, some of which fell on the corpse's miserable white face, and the cold wind full of the smell of blood swirled wantonly in the bamboo forest.
Chen Yexing realized that the current scene seemed unusual, and there was no way to explain it in a dream, all this was more like a real scene, and the pain he felt would not deceive, and the dream could not be so real.
He glanced at himself, he was also holding a long sword in his hand, a white cloth covered with blood-colored spots, his body was thin and straight, his five fingers were slender, Chen Yexing was self-aware, this body definitely did not belong to him, and he had a bad premonition.
When Chen Yexing came to his senses, it took him a long time to dare to make a bold guess that he might have crossed over and experienced a life-and-death battle.
These men in black lying on the ground should have been given by him, and the last living mouth left was the young man in black standing opposite him.
He didn't know how long he had been in such a confrontation with the man in black, only that if he coaxed, the other party would definitely rush over and give him a sword, turning him into a corpse.
These people are all dressed in black and masked, unwilling to show their true identities, since their identities are exposed, there is no doubt that Chen Yexing will be killed, and there is a life-and-death situation between the black-clothed people and him.
All the corpses on the ground were sealed with a sword, and Chen Yexing guessed that the reason why the last living mouth was left may be because of the crossing, which caused his soul to occupy this body, so he did not complete the final annihilation.
But the biggest trouble also lies in this, Chen Yexing at this time has no ability to deal with the remaining living mouth, because just keeping the long sword straight has used up all the strength of his body, and the seemingly slender long sword is actually very heavy.
Chen Yexing, as a modern person, doesn't know how to use a sword, he understands the truth of the fish dying and the net is broken, he can't force the man in black to be in a hurry, and he can only be so deadlocked, if it weren't for the skin of this top master, the other side would have killed him long ago.
But this is not a long-term solution, the injury to this body is very serious, the sharp pain and itching of the wound are becoming more and more unbearable, and he knows that he will soon not be able to hold on.
Chen Yexing can only endure the discomfort of his body and try not to leak flaws, otherwise he will definitely die.
Thinking of the life of facing a break at the beginning, Chen Yexing felt sad in his heart, he did nothing in his previous life, he was poisoned by apples for no reason, and he couldn't die here in this life.
The cold wind blew through the bones, Chen Yexing's mind was racing, and the faces of the dozen or so corpses suddenly flashed in his mind, and the despair on the faces of the corpses was exactly the same as the expression of the man in black in front of him.
Chen Yexing instantly understood, in fact, the other party had no intention of fighting, more than a dozen companions were all blocked by a sword, and the huge difference in strength made him know that he could not escape the same fate, and he had clearly given up resistance!
The dim eyes are looking straight ahead, the line of sight is gradually losing focus, and even the long sword in his hand is held in a virtual position, and the tip of the sword is drooping, these are the best proof, proving that the other party's will has long been disintegrated!
So, "Get out of here!"
Chen Yexing could think of the only way to do this, he suppressed his nervous heartbeat, showed the face of a strong man as much as possible, and said that sentence in a disdainful tone.
The cold wind swept up the dead leaves and dust on the ground, and Chen Yexing didn't dare to blink his eyelids at all, staring at each other all the time.
Whether these three short words can be effective depends on the difference in strength between the two sides, and the greater the disparity in strength, the greater the deterrent effect, and the more obvious the effect.
Judging from the scene, the man in black was almost completely wiped out, and there was no doubt that the original owner of this body had overwhelming strength, otherwise the expression that froze on the face of the man in black would not be despair.
Chen Yexing knew that he had made the right bet, and as soon as the words fell, the man in black was obviously stunned, and the expression on his face changed from despair to doubt, and then to ecstasy.
Chen Yexing struck while the iron was hot: "Get out!"
The man in black did not hesitate at all as if he had received the pardon, immediately turned around and ran forward with his back to Chen Yexing, even abandoning the long sword in his hand.
And Chen Yexing was relieved, perhaps because he was too excited, and his eyes almost turned black.
Looking at the back of the man in black gradually disappearing into the twilight, Chen Yexing was like a deflated ball, unable to hold the long sword anymore, and the long sword slid off his right hand in an instant.
Now that the current crisis has been resolved, it is imperative to get out of this place of right and wrong as soon as possible.
So Chen Yexing took a step on his legs, but the horror was that his legs didn't obey the call, and he instantly went limp, and at the same time, the sharp pain of the wound suddenly struck, and he lost his balance and fell directly to the ground, almost hitting his long sword.
Chen Yexing's mind was smashed, and he realized that the injuries to this body were far more serious than he had imagined.
His hands couldn't move, his whole body was uncontrollable, and Chen Yexing couldn't get up at all.
Chen Yexing couldn't help but panic, and even suspected that he had not fully integrated into this body, but he had all the senses of this body, as well as some vague and obscure memories, indicating that he had fit into this body, and there was no rejection.
"Third Senior Brother, have you also been hit by the sad breeze?"
The sudden inquiry startled Chen Yexing, his current situation was unacceptable, and anyone else who appeared here could pose a mortal threat to him.
But it seemed to be his junior sister, so he put his mind at ease, and his junior sister's inquiry came from behind him, and with a crying voice.
The name sounds familiar.
Chen Yexing suddenly remembered, this is the poison that Wang Yuyan has been in the Eight Divisions of the Heavenly Dragon, could it be that this is the world of martial arts......
It is rumored that this poisoner, the whole body is soft and weak, and Wang Yuyan, who is soaked all over, is the clothes that Duan Yu changed into, and he is now in line with the symptoms of poisoning.
Chen Yexing frowned and fell into a reverie, but in the end, he still didn't forget that he might really be poisoned: "Is there an antidote?"
Nothing is more important than getting out of here first.
"Nope. ”
However, it was not his junior sister who answered Chen, but another old and weak voice with a rapid cough in his voice.
Chen Yexing's back was cold, he didn't know how many people were here.
Then he heard his sister crying nervously: "Daddy...... How are you? Third Senior Brother...... You save Daddy, Daddy has hit the Seven Star Begonia. ”
Chen Yexing couldn't help but be stunned, if I remember correctly, the Seven Star Begonia is a deadly poison in the novel, and the poisoned person will die for life!
Although he was not the original owner of this body, listening to his junior sister's helpless cry, Chen Yexing felt very uncomfortable, and he could feel the deep dependence of his junior sister on him.
But he couldn't do anything, he could only lie on the cold ground, and even he couldn't protect himself, and for a moment, he felt like a waste.
"You're admitting to being a piece of waste?"
A cold voice suddenly appeared, and this voice seemed to have no source, and appeared in Chen Yexing's mind completely out of thin air.
Chen Yexing wants to cry without tears, and now he can only resign himself to fate and ask for more blessings.
Chen Yexing, who was shocked into a cold sweat again, turned his only eye that could move now and quickly glanced at the visual range, but the surroundings did not look like people, only the swirling cold wind.
Sound transmission into secret?
When it is over, the master will transmit the sound into the secret, so that his words will only be heard by the designated people, and if the person who comes is not good, Chen Yexing feels that he can only sit and wait for death.
The voice that couldn't guess the gender and age sounded coldly in Chen Yexing's mind again: "I don't mean anything else, I'm the Devil Fruit, and the apple that poisoned you is me." ”
Chen Yexing's thinking paused for more than ten seconds, such outrageous news made him instantly dizzy, he suspected again that it was a dream, but the facts told him that all this was true.
You said you didn't mean anything else, then you poisoned me, what do you mean!
"Then what kind of fruit are you, and what abilities do you have?" Chen Yexing didn't want to worry so much, after all, the Devil Fruits in the Pirate World all had their own unique abilities, and many of the fruit abilities were coveted, but he wasn't sure if the Devil Fruits that could speak were real.
"I am a waste fruit with the power to destroy everything, including the poison in you. The Devil Fruit's voice was cold and proud.
Chen Yexing felt that happiness came a little suddenly: "That's great, help me save that old man first, I feel that he can't hold on." ”
"You are my host, because you are too weak, my ability is greatly reduced, if I save him, I will not be able to solve the poison on your body. The voice was still cold.
"It's okay, save him first. ”
However, the waste fruit did not tell Chen Yexing, in addition to the sad and crisp breeze, he also fell into the Seven Star Begonia.
