Chapter 479: Survival of the Fittest

With joy and excitement, after a while, borrowing the light of the corridor, the two came to the end of the third floor and arrived at the door of the toilet.

At this moment, looking at the empty toilet, Zhu Yuandong, who was anxious to leave, left without saying a word, and walked into the toilet and walked to the window, and was about to probe to observe, only to notice that Zhao Ping did not come in together, but still stood at the door of the toilet for a long time without moving, seeing this, the old man instinctively turned back and asked, "Hey, why don't you come?" ”

Obviously, don't look at the glasses man has been discussing the escape problem with him, and he has frequently made suggestions for himself during the period, but in fact, Zhu Yuandong has already concluded that the other party is actually as eager to escape as himself, and the so-called helping himself earlier is nothing more than caring about face, and now the exit is in front of him, but how can the other party ......

(Huh?) Could it be that this man really doesn't plan to leave? )

Thinking so, the reality is indeed the case, listening to the old man's doubts, looking at the other party in surprise, in front of the door, Zhao Ping shook his head and replied: "Professor Zhu, I think you misunderstood, I never said that I wanted to leave with you, and the reason why I helped you is nothing more than to see that you are too scared, okay, if you want to leave, hurry up, in case of a long delay, no one knows what will happen." ”

Hearing the other party's answer, and seeing the other party's frequent urging, finally, after confirming that the other party was really unwilling to leave, Zhu Yuandong first sighed, and then said to Zhao Ping in a slightly apologetic tone: "Hey, it seems that I, Zhu, really misunderstood you before, I thought you wanted to ...... Forget it, don't talk about this, Mr. Zhao, you and others don't blame me for being cowardly, to be honest, I ...... I'm really afraid of mantises, I've been scared since I learned that there were mantis in the hotel during the day, Mr. Zhao, you are willing to help me so much, I can't thank you enough! ”

Facing the old man's sincere explanation when he left, Zhao Ping smiled slightly and said: "It's nothing, after all, you are just a newcomer, and it is normal for people to be afraid, which is understandable." ”

"Ah, is it? It's good to understand, it's good to understand, that's it, then, then I'll go, Mr. Zhao take care, and say sorry to Captain He and everyone on my behalf. ”

"Okay, I will."

A sincere farewell ended, after that, Zhu Yuandong moved, he was surrounded by fear for a long time, he immediately turned around and climbed the window, at the same time, seeing Zhu Yuandong's movements, and seeing that the other party had completely been inside the toilet, for some reason, next to the door, Zhao Ping's expression changed, changed instantly, the smile just now disappeared, just now there was no trace of randomness, the whole face instantly became solemn, became tightly locked, and the right hand was lightningly stretched into the pocket of the coat, and the whole person quietly took a few steps back, and quickly retreated in the opposite direction of the toilet door, While retreating, he stared ahead, staring at the window, staring at Zhu Yuandong who was facing the window with his back to the door!

No one understood what it meant, let alone what it meant, some, just dead silence, just confusion, just the abrupt vigilance of the man in glasses.

At the same time, inside the toilet, due to the hurry to leave, after saying goodbye to Zhao Pinggao, Zhu Yuandong came to the window, stretched out his hand to push open the glass, first cautiously poked his head out of the window and looked down, saw that the fruit pipes below were all over, and his heart was happy, and then he climbed the window with both hands......

Can......

Just as the old man was about to climb to the windowsill, or just when Zhu Yuandong was about to climb down from the window half a meter away, a strange change occurred, and a terrible change that was both sudden and completely unexpected occurred:

An old woman walked out of the toilet.

With the terrifying speed that seems to be walking slowly, but is actually fast into an afterimage, he instantly jumps out of the inner room, and enters the outer room, silently, and then stands motionless in place.

However, it is precisely the temporary stagnation of the old woman that reveals her appearance in its entirety.

As far as the eye can see, I can see that the old woman's overall outfit is old, unremarkable, wearing an old-fashioned white vest on her upper body, and black pants and black shoes on her lower body!!

And Zhu Yuandong ......

I didn't notice it, I didn't notice it, I didn't know everything behind me, and I was still struggling to climb under the joy of being about to escape.

Then, the old woman slowly turned her head and looked to the left and looked at Zhu Yuandong.

The next moment, a shocking change occurred.

The old woman walked straight towards Zhu Yuandong, who was jumping towards the window!

The next moment, something even stranger happened.

That's ......

I don't know if it's because my eyes are looking at the flowers and I don't know if I'm in a trance, in the field of vision, that is, when the old woman rushed to Zhu Yuandong's back, in an instant, the old woman faded, and the whole body instantly became translucent, and finally, the translucent old woman entered Zhu Yuandong's body, and disappeared after basically overlapping with Zhu Yuandong's body.

Gone, the old woman gone.

However, disappearing does not mean anything, because the matter is not over, it is not over, it is far from over.

In other words, when the translucent old woman overlapped Zhu Yuandong's body, for some reason, in front of the window, Zhu Yuandong, who had been struggling to climb the window earlier, also stopped moving instantly, and the whole person suddenly stiffened as if he had been shocked, suddenly stopped, and froze on the spot like a sculpture.

After freezing for a few seconds, he retreated indoors, gave up climbing the window, and then slowly turned his body, but when he completely turned his body, he saw Zhu Yuandong's face was dull, his eyes were blank, and the whole person was as dazed as if he had lost his soul, and he was stunned for a long time, and then, Zhu Yuandong moved again.

Da, da.

Shaking his body and shaking his head slightly, he walked to the washstand on the left side like a puppet, slowly reached out, first picked up the water plug and plugged the water outlet, and then turned on the faucet......

Bang, bang, bang.

With the sound of rushing water, after more than ten seconds, the pool below was quickly filled with water pouring out of the faucet.

Then......

Poof!

Zhu Yuandong plunged headlong.

He bent down and plunged his whole head into the sink!!

Grunt, grunt.

The blisters rose and fell one after another, and the body began to tremble.

………

This is an extremely strange scene, and it is an extremely terrifying picture, and at this moment, all of this is seen by Zhao Ping, and the man with glasses outside the toilet door has completely imprinted his vision.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Ping's pupils shrank!!

The body trembled violently uncontrollably, and cold sweat instantly spread all over the body.

However, he did not run, did not escape, still stubbornly stood outside the door, like a spectator to witness the toilet, observing the room, only the right hand deep in the pocket of the coat was covered with green tendons, as if he would quickly come out and take out something at the slightest movement.

As for Zhu Yuandong......

The head is still in the water, and he voluntarily submerges his head in the water.

Time passed minute by minute, and as time passed, Zhu Yuandong began to struggle, and gradually began to struggle after plunging his head into the washbasin, began to tremble, began to twitch, and his hands also swayed wildly against the pool platform, it seemed that he wanted to break free from the pool and raise his head, however, even if Zhu Yuandong struggled so much, his head that was deeply rooted in the water never rose by half a point, and never left the pool.

Why?

Why is this happening?

Obviously, there was nothing beside him, and it was obvious that he had plunged his head into it, no matter how he looked at it, it was suicide, but Zhu Yuandong looked like he had been murdered and forcibly pressed into the pool by his head.

What about the facts?

The fact is that there is no, there is nothing, there is only Zhu Yuandong in the entire toilet as far as the eye can see, and only Zhu Yuandong 'committed suicide' under extremely strong crazy resistance!!

Time continued to pass, Zhu Yuandong struggled more and more, and the shaking gradually reached its peak.

After the apex is faintness, silence, the gradual disappearance of struggle, and the gradual paralysis of the body.

5 minutes later, Zhu Yuandong stopped convulsions, his hands fell down, and the whole person remained motionless like this, just keeping his head in the strange posture of sticking his head into the pool and completely solidifying, completely falling into silence.

He died, lying in front of the pool, dead inexplicably, silently, to death...... His head was still in the pool, and he had never been lifted for half a minute.

In the end, a corpse was left behind, a tragic corpse with a large amount of unknown fluid and yellow material all over its crotch.

Then, the whole toilet fell silent and fell silent again.

Sand, sand, sand......

At the same time, outside the toilet, seeing that the other party was dead, confirming that there was no more trouble, Zhao Ping also moved, slowly moved, slowly moved while moving his steps, and slowly retreated, and retreated backwards in the corridor and gradually retreated in the opposite direction of the toilet.

During the retreat, the man with glasses pressed his breathing to the lowest level, and his steps did not make a sound as much as possible, and his nerves were highly concentrated at the moment, looking around as he retreated.

It wasn't until he retreated to a certain distance, until he was far out of the toilet, and after confirming that he was far enough away from the toilet, Zhao Ping quickly turned around and returned to the room.

Smack.

"Whew, whew, whew!"

The moment the door closed, in the living room, Zhao Ping's limbs were weak, and he instinctively gasped in front of the door, fortunately, he was not very human, and the strong composure unique to the senior was not fake, in a short moment, the fear was gone, and the fear was suppressed.

What followed was contemplation, silence, the chill of an eye behind the lenses.

The man seemed to be recalling something, thinking about something, his brain was running fast, and his eyes were constantly wandering.

With a certain thought, mixed with a certain thought, the man with glasses pushed the door and entered the bedroom.

However, there are some surprises......

Upon entering the bedroom, the expected image did not appear.

In the field of vision, the bright room is clear at a glance, and the surroundings are empty, and the bed is empty.

Chen Xiaoyao is gone!

………

At this moment, Chen Xiaoyao was in the toilet on the second floor, looked up, and then moved, quickly climbed out of the window and then turned into the toilet on the third floor through the drainage pipe.

The movements are swift, the skills are agile, the whole process from the 2nd floor to the 3rd floor only takes more than ten seconds, of course, the above is not the point, the point is that he just came to the toilet on the 3rd floor to see the environment clearly, see the current situation clearly, and see Zhu Yuandong's strange corpse!

"Hey......"

Seeing the corpse of the old professor with his own eyes, Chen Xiaoyao's face showed solemnity, observed for a moment, was silent for a moment, and finally sighed, without saying anything, his eyes turned away and began to look at the environment.

After looking at it for a long time, observing it for a long time, the young Taoist priest made a move, raised his hands and quickly made a series of Taoist gestures that others could not understand, and finally took out a yellow rune paper from his sleeve, and quickly pasted the rune paper with several traditional red characters written on it 'Ordering the Sun and Moon Wheel' on the wall of the toilet.

But......

Wow.

When the third second of the rune paper was pasted to the wall, the accident happened, for no reason, for no reason, as the red light suddenly appeared, with the firelight rising, in the blink of an eye, the rune paper spontaneously combusted, and instantly burned into a cloud of ashes!

There is still no reason, there is still no reason, seeing this scene, Chen Xiaoyao's originally calm face turned into a dead face in an instant, he, his eyes were wide open, his mouth was wide open, as if he was frightened by something, his legs trembled uncontrollably, he swallowed saliva, and then ......

Turn around and run!

With the super-speed that can only be seen when escaping, he rushed straight out of the toilet like a sharp arrow.

The speed is even a few points faster than when he was chased by a swarm of mantis on the highway.

………

More than ten seconds later.

Bang, bang!

"Whew!"

"Whew, whew, whew......"

The door was suddenly pushed open and slammed shut, and at this moment, the frightened Chen Xiaoyao was panting with his back against the door.

Breathing for a while, I don't know if the panic slowed down a little or if I found something, gradually, the young man returned to normal, no longer sweating, no longer wheezing, turned to look ahead, looked at the opposite side, and looked at Zhao Ping, who was in the living room with the same attitude.

At present, the man with glasses is sitting on the sofa with a calm expression, in addition to his expressionless face, his seemingly indifferent gaze is also staring directly at Chen Xiaoyao.

As for the young Taoist priest......

Or when he found that the other party seemed to have been waiting for him, his expression changed, and the reason for the vague description came from the fact that the young man did not react much, neither showed surprise nor confusion, just looked at each other for a moment, and finally said a sentence with a slight frown, and asked the other party a question that at least he was very concerned about:

"Senior Zhao, you, why did you kill Zhu Yuandong?"

In many cases, people don't need to speak too thoroughly, they don't need to be foreshadowed in advance, and it's best to get straight to the point, especially for smart people.

Sure enough, seeing that the other party went straight to the topic without ink, Xu was more satisfied with the young man's move, and helped his nose and glasses, and then, Zhao Ping stared at Chen Xiaoyao and opened his mouth lightly: "It seems that you already know, okay, even if you really don't know about it, I don't plan to hide it from you, after all, it's difficult to hide it from living together, as for why do you say I want to kill Zhu Yuandong...... Huh, how is that possible? When did I kill him? What shall I do to kill him? ”

Hearing the other party's answer, and seeing that the other party flatly denied it, although Chen Xiaoyao's expression did not change, his tone changed, and the questioning tone became more intense:

"I think Senior Zhao, you already knew that there were mantis in the toilet, yes, you really didn't do it yourself, but Senior Zhao, you killed it with the hand of the mantis, isn't it?"

Zhao Ping couldn't help but be stunned after hearing this, but the next moment he raised his head and laughed, and replied in the tone that should have been like this while laughing: "Hehe, it seems that I didn't guess wrong, I knew that you were not an ordinary person by observing at the beginning, but I didn't expect you to be really extraordinary." ”

Speaking of this, after a pause, without waiting for the young man to answer, the man with glasses continued while holding his glasses while returning to normal: "You should be a veritable Taoist priest, right?" If so, can you tell me a little bit about you? ”

The atmosphere of the room became eerie, oppressive, and silent at this moment, and the only thing that existed was the gaze of the two executors.

Fortunately, this quiet did not last long, and after looking at the man in front of him one after another with complex eyes, he hesitated for half a minute, and finally, Chen Xiaoyao nodded and admitted: "Well, I am indeed a Taoist priest, a Taoist priest in the true sense of the word, and a Taoist priest of Maoshan Mountain, unlike the kind of cheating and drinking sorcerers in society, I am different from that group of people, and about my identity and origin......"

"In fact, at the beginning, I was just an ordinary young man, three years ago for some reason lost my memory and fell to the foot of Lushan, and finally was taken in by my master, and it was also at that time that I became attached to the master, and the two lived together in a Taoist hall at the foot of Lushan, it is undeniable that I forgot my family and friends in the past because of amnesia, and I forgot what life I had in the past, but, amnesia does not mean that I am an idiot, I can clearly feel that the master takes care of me, and his old man also said that he wants to train me to be a real Taoist."

Xu was slightly puzzled by the frequent mention of the word 'real' by young people, and Zhao Ping couldn't help but interject: "Huh? A real Taoist priest? ”

Chen Xiaoyao nodded and continued: "Yes, my master said that he has lived for more than 100 years now, and when he is older, he can see many things more thoroughly, such as Daomen, don't look at the development of Zhua Daomen in recent years, but my master said that all this is an illusion, belonging to the soulless mirror years, the reason is very simple, first of all, both Taoist priests and Taoists, then the most basic thing is to know how to drive away evil spirits, if you don't even know these, then you are not a Taoist, at most it is just a group of fakes selling dog meat on the head of a sheep." ”

"Of course, Z Hua Daomen did have flourished, and even during the Republic of China, the incense inheritance was endless, but unfortunately, there were unforeseen circumstances, with the arrival of that decade, Z Hua Dao was devastated, the Tao was destroyed, and the Taoist priests who knew how to drive away evil spirits were completely extinct, leaving only those fake Taoist priests with empty Taoist names and some wandering magicians who cheated to eat and drink, and my master was the last Taoist priest of my Z Hua, the last Taoist priest of Maoshan Mountain."

"Hey, hey, don't look at me with that kind of suspicion, it's not me who blows, my master is very powerful, when he was in Lushan, no matter what weird and strange things were in the villages within a radius of hundreds of miles, as long as he came to him, they were all easy to solve, not only that, but his old man was also kind-hearted, and he only charged half the price every time he helped people drive away evil spirits...... Well, it's a bit off-topic, okay, let's get back to the point, due to the gradual decline of the Dao Gate and the growing age, in recent years, my master has begun to worry, began to worry, worried that the Maoshan vein will be broken in his own hands, and even more worried that the Maoshan magic that has inherited my Z Hua for thousands of years will be extinct, although he wants to find a successor to inherit the Taoism, but unfortunately after a long time of searching, no young person is willing to learn this kind of thing that is useless in their eyes, take 10,000 steps back and say, even if these people are willing to my master will not accept him as a disciple, there is only one reason, That is, the qualifications are not enough, and if you want to learn Maoshan magic, ordinary people can't meet the conditions until they ......"

"It wasn't until 3 years ago that Master met me, who he called the Bone Surprise and the Amazing Talent of Bones, who was extremely talented."

"My arrival was considered by the Master to be arranged by God, so after visiting the Master, the Master began to teach me with all his might."

"Master said, if you want to practice the body academically, no good kung fu is not worthy of being a Maoshan Taoist, I have been in a state of physical exercise and kung fu learning for the first two years of apprenticeship, during which the master did teach me a lot of unheard of Taoist boxing, until the third year officially taught me the arts, but, who would have thought, Taoism only learned for a year, and I personally only learned at most one-tenth of my master's skills, but the master and his old man died without illness, as for me, as for me, as I just said, During the three years of apprenticeship, I learned some fists and kicks and some fur techniques to ward off evil spirits. ”

After the master passed away, I buried him, and then went down the mountain to start a new life, but unfortunately after coming down the mountain, I didn't have any skills, and I didn't want to do any good work...... In desperation, in the end, I had to be a Taoist priest of Youfang to eat and drink, hey. ”

………

Putting aside how the young Taoist priest misses his master and how the other party complains about the difficult social mixing, at this moment, on the other side of the sofa, listening to Chen Xiaoyao's narration, Zhao Ping can clearly feel that the other party's master is He Dexing, at best, it is a generation of grandmasters, but in fact he is an old god who is impatient because he can't find an apprentice, of course, thinking about it, in fact, he didn't say anything just nodded, and now he basically knows the origin of the other party, so ......

After a moment of silence, the man with glasses looked up at the other party, and then stared at Chen Xiaoyao with thoughtful eyes and expressions and asked, "According to what you say, your ability to drive away evil spirits ......"

Chen Xiaoyao directly spread his hands and said: "The level of the two knives, so don't think I think so much, in fact, I only learned Maoshan art with my master for one year, well, how to say it, if I have to describe my current skills, I am sure of the general moth to ward off evil spirits, and I am proficient in the method, even if I deal with ordinary small moths, I can also catch them, however, if the strength of the mantis is too strong, then I actually have no way, okay, this is my past, do you say it is very miserable?" ”

After listening to Chen Xiaoyao's last sentence, Zhao Ping couldn't help but be a little speechless, he didn't expect that there were still people in the world who said that his fate was tragic, and he could also draw conclusions from Chen Xiaoyao's narrative just now, and conclude that if what the other party said was true, then this is a typical abduction case:

That is, the story of an old god stick who was troubled all day long because he couldn't find an apprentice, but finally succeeded in luring a 2B young man to become an apprentice.

(The clues are now available, and the identity is now known.) )

And then......

The man with glasses moved, ignored the young man's miserable sales, ignored the other party's gossip, got up from the sofa without saying a word, and walked straight to the bedroom.

Seeing Zhao Ping's movements, Chen Xiaoyao was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly called: "Hey, hey, hey!" I'm not done yet! You, what are you doing in the bedroom? ”

Zhao Ping walked without replying to the next three words:

"Go to sleep."

Chen Xiaoyao was stunned again, and then continued to ask: "But you haven't told me why you want to get rid of Zhu Yuandong with the help of the dragon?" ”

The footsteps suddenly stopped.

Or when he heard the question behind him, Zhao Ping, who was ignoring no one and was about to enter the bedroom, stopped, and the man stopped in place, motionless, silent for a while, until Chen Xiaoyao showed suspicion on his face, and finally, the man with glasses answered the young man in a flat tone and answered the other party:

"The cursed space is a place where the fittest survive, but people like Zhu Yuandong are not suitable here, continuing to stay will do you no harm to me and the entire team, in order not to drag down the group, so he can only die, not to mention that before I died, I successfully used him to obtain a value clue, yes, this deal is very cost-effective, why not exchange a waste life for a clue?"

The whole paragraph was calm and the tone was flat, but, somehow, listening to the man with glasses, Chen Xiaoyao couldn't help but shudder.
