Chapter Eighty-Eight: A Strange Sandalwood Scent
Hearing the curiosity in Gu Pinyao's tone, Lal replied respectfully, "Well, we, the stewards stationed abroad, can go to the consular office every month to get a small black pill, this kind of pill we call it the elixir, because after eating it, the energy in the body can surge, and it can quickly improve our ability, which is very magical." ”
"Does that mean this kind of thing is still distributed according to the quota?" , Raising his eyebrows, Gu Pinyao asked.
"Yes, a long-term manager like me is one per month, and the group of assistants around me is one for two to three months, and so on, the higher the position, the more elixir you get, the lower the position, the less you get, and the servants don't have it at all."
"That elixir is completely effective, without any side effects?" Gu Pinyao was very curious about how Harald's people used the substance of the energy body to refine medicine, after all, the raw materials are absolutely harmful to the human body, so what substances are added to these curative effects in the middle?
"It's not that there are no side effects at all, maybe my level is not high enough, and I haven't noticed much of the elixir I get. Anyway, after taking the pill, the energy in my body will rise sharply for a short time, and I feel more energetic, but then there will be a period of sleepiness, and I feel bored doing anything, and I will be lazy and lazy all day. Yes, there is another thing, as time goes by, there are more and more black substances in our bodies, and at first I will be faintly uneasy, but I really can't think of a way to get rid of them, and I asked other people, and I also responded to this situation, but fortunately, the body did not have any rejection of these black substances, so I didn't think about it anymore. ”
"Actually, you can still use this black material energy, right?" Seeing that the other party didn't explain the role of dark matter too much, Gu Pinyao added lightly.
As soon as he heard what the other party said, Ral knew that the young man in front of him knew a lot about the black substance in their bodies. Yes, remembering what the man in brown said, this boy was his kind. Maybe the young man also has this kind of energy in his body, and he didn't dare to hide anything at the moment, his eyes were half-drooping, and he bowed down honestly and replied, "Yes, this kind of energy is like an extra dark attribute ability in the body, and it can also devour other people's attacks at a certain time." ”
"Hmm. I know. Do you still have this pill on you? Show me. ”
Looking around at the people around him, all the replies were negative, and Ral blinked. Nervously, he said, "My lord, we don't have any more. The number of elixirs is scarce, and we are afraid that accidents will happen. Once you get it, you will take the opportunity to take it, and few will stay. ”
Listen to Ral's words. Gu Pinyao inevitably felt some regrets in his heart. It's not that she trusts Lal and his party completely, but she has a premonition in her body that she doesn't have much fluctuation in the other party's feelings, and there is no sign of lying. Then he spoke, "Then what are the conditions for you to cooperate with this person?" ”
Pointing to the brown-clothed man who was motionless on the deck, Gu Pinyao asked with a bit of randomness.
"At the first time I was at the recycling bin, I was accused by this person. He told me that he would not hurt me and that I would rescue him from Qiao Cong. He taught me how to increase the energy in my body. Thinking back to the discomfort when his body was controlled by the man in brown at that time, Ral's face became a lot more ugly, that person will not retaliate against them in the future, right? However, when he thought of the palpitating strength of the black-haired boy in front of him, Lal could only continue to betray his temporary teammates.
"He also asked me to encourage the aborigines to come and arrest you, saying that the people who captured you would take them on the boat and leave the garbage star, so those people would be so afraid of death to ignore the collapse of the ground and come forward to chase you."
"Oh?" Gu Pinyao listened to Laer's words and playfully touched his smooth chin. After a few wrong steps, I saw that her figure was blurred, and suddenly she came to the side of the man in brown, and a force deterred the man, forcing the man to kneel on the ground with no resistance. Looking down at the man in brown from top to bottom with an indifferent expression, Gu Pinyao spoke.
"Did you let people arrest me because they saw that I had dark matter in me? Why not do it yourself? ”
Feeling humiliated, the man in brown leaned sideways, his head resting lightly on the metal deck, his eyes closed, and he didn't intend to ignore Gu Pinyao. It's just that suddenly, a huge force broke through the air, he felt a strong pressure on his chest, and blood poured out like money, and at this time, the transparent energy converged into a tangible hand and slightly tightened, he immediately felt as if his neck was choked, he couldn't breathe, and his face turned purple. The green tendons burst out, and the man in brown clenched his teeth, squeezing out words from between his teeth.
"Uh-huh... You, let me go! ”
"Why? I've always had a bad temper with people who don't cooperate. ”
Seeing that the black-haired boy didn't move, but the man in brown was a wolf-looking man, surrounded by blood he vomited, and the smell of blood spread very slowly in the air of the garbage star, but the slightest wisp of it got into their noses, which made Ral and his party panic. Especially when they saw that the young man's face had almost no change, as if he was wearing a human skin mask, they suddenly felt that their scalp was numb.
At this time, the man in brown spoke mockingly, "Since you know everything, why bother, why bother asking again." I feel that you seem to have the same energy in your body as mine, and I want to catch you, but I am afraid that your strength is too strong, and then you will lose both, so I let others move. But now it seems that I obviously underestimated you too much. ”
"Ahem, ahem... Now if you lose, you lose, what do you want to do with me? He pretended to look at Gu Pinyao calmly, but the tension hidden in his heart couldn't be hidden.
"Where does the energy in your body come from?" didn't answer the other party, Gu Pinyao said in a shallow tone, so that others couldn't see the true thoughts in her heart.
"I sue you, will you let me go?"
His eyes met the brown-clothed man's eyes, and the indifference and silence in Gu Pinyao's eyes were fully revealed, only to hear her chuckle, without a trace of warmth in her words, "Indeed, even if you sue me for the reason, I will let you go, and this undead spirit floating in the sky will not let you go, let you live in this world in style." ”
Sixty-one and seventy-three were all the years of Tai Sui Xingjun, and the Taoist family would taboo these numbers, but the man in brown devoured the energy of six thousand one hundred and seventy-three people, and then caused their death. By chance, this group of ghosts condensed into fierce spirits, and at this time of the transition of yin and yang, their yin qi was particularly strong.
"Undead? Ha, what nonsense are you talking about, now it's all a technological society, don't take the superstition of the ancient earth to answer me. The brown-clothed man's face was full of indignation, and he felt that Gu Pinyao was not going to let go of his excuse, and he felt a burst of disdain in his heart.
"Don't you feel the temperature around you drop suddenly?"
Looking at the suddenly changing sky, Gu Pinyao said expressionlessly.
I saw that Gu Pinyao's white and tender face and lips were bright and dripping, with her expressionless face and calm and waveless eyes, like a puppet, it looked particularly weird. The transformation technique she used borrowed the face of the puppet refined by her own master, and her expression was usually more vivid and flexible when she went out, but she couldn't see anything unusual, but at this moment in this environment, she couldn't show much smile, so it made Lal and his party look very strange when they saw it. Especially after listening to what Gu Pinyao had just said, Lal and the others were so shocked that they broke out in a cold sweat, suppressed the goosebumps that suddenly appeared on their arms, and they all tacitly agreed to shrink their bodies as much as possible and suppress their sense of existence.
The black light flashed under his eyes, but he saw that the man in brown seemed to be hooked, and his eyes were blank and he said directly, "Twenty years ago, I was an ordinary homeless man, living in a shanty in a slum, because he was robbed of food, his leg was injured, and he collapsed at home for several days without eating. One day I was so hungry that I was confused, and suddenly I felt someone feed something to my mouth, and although I was defensive at first, I was so hungry that I couldn't resist swallowing the thing in my mouth. When I woke up, there was no one around. I just felt a sharp pain in my body, and my skin still smelled fishy, so I couldn't help but take a shower first, but after that, I felt as if my body was full of strength, and my skin was no longer so dull, and it looked firm and firm. My stomach will no longer be hungry often, my strength has become very strong, it is effortless to carry those heavy objects, and even a strange energy has been born in my body, which I immediately understood after attending primary education that it is a strange ability. It turns out that I have a spiritual ability, but it's too weak, and it usually doesn't show it at all, but since I woke up from eating that thing, the physical changes are especially obvious. The energy mixed with black gas is my ability, although it is strange, but I didn't think much about it, I have been overwhelmed by this monstrous joy. The first thing I did when I gained the mysterious power was to settle accounts with the group of people who bullied and injured me, and I don't know if they were too weak or if I was too strong because of the sudden increase in strength, and I was killed by the group of people who were killed by me. The federal punishment for homicide was severe, and in a panic, I had to prepare to bury my body and flee to other areas incognito. It's just that I didn't expect that as soon as my hands touched their skin, the residual energy in their bodies would automatically be devoured by me, and then dried into human skin. I was so frightened that I hurriedly burned their bodies and removed all traces of myself before hiding in my own home. I was scared all day, but I didn't expect that no one had looked for me after a week, and then I asked someone, and it turned out that no one had found them, and the police station just made a missing person registration. ”
Smiled unconsciously, the man in brown continued to speak, "Heh, the police really don't care much about the life and death of our group of poor people, not to mention that those people often steal chickens and dogs, the police probably think that they ran away to commit crimes or took refuge and ran away, and left without digging deeper." As for me, no one found out, naturally got away with it, and also found the operation law of the energy in my body, and solved several groups of people who bullied me. After all, what I'm doing is something that can't be put on the table, and if someone finds out, I'm not in a good position. I'm human, and I'm greedy for life and afraid of death, so I left the slums and began to travel through the stars, and twenty years of wandering have come to where I am today. ”
"Do you remember what that thing was?"
"I just swallowed it in one gulp, and I couldn't remember what it tasted like, but I vaguely smelled a sandalwood fragrance, like the aroma of temple offerings."
Temple offerings? When Gu Pinyao heard the words of the man in brown, his brows furrowed even tighter. (To be continued)
