Chapter 536: The Mother Who Turned into Fireworks

Meng Chao finished speaking.

There was a deathly silence in the subterranean space.

After a long time, Bai Shan sighed faintly and said with a wry smile: "If I don't make a move on you, then you won't be able to catch my handle." ”

"Impossible."

Meng Chao said, "If I am unscathed, after weighing the pros and cons, you may choose to stand still and continue to endure."

"But I carefully disguised myself as if I could be killed with a single sword, how can you resist such a great temptation?

"You know, you don't know exactly what Miss Mulian told me, and what she would say to a wolf if I bumped into him.

"In this case, the safest and seemingly most convenient option is to kill people."

"It's true that I can only kill people, but I shouldn't be smart enough to tell the wolf that I saw you kill Miss Mulian with my own eyes."

Bai Shan thought for a moment and said, "If I had spoken more ambiguously, I might not have been able to show my feet so quickly. ”

"It's impossible, if you didn't see me kill Miss Mulian with your own eyes, why would it be necessary to chase after the killer?"

Meng Chao said, "Assuming that you just accidentally bumped into me doing something sneaky underground, you should capture me alive and torture me to find out a lot of information, including Miss Mulian's whereabouts, instead of summoning a deadly killer."

"Don't worry, I've taken every detail into account, and you can't explain this matter clearly."

“……”

Bai Shan sighed and smiled bitterly, "Meng Chao, Meng Chao, really deserves to be the most powerful transcendent outsider in the past two years, no wonder those people told me that this time the hunting team that went deep into the leprosy village to destroy the Divine Transformation Capsule Refining Factory, the highest realm is the 'man-eating shark' Zhou Chong, but the most difficult thing is that you are a guy who has just entered the heavenly realm, let me not underestimate you, if I see you, I will kill you at all costs."

"I did so, but I didn't expect it to fall in your way."

Meng Chao's eyes were blazing and said, "Are you admitting that you colluded with the bandits from outside—those guys who refined the Divine Transformation Capsule and disguised themselves as the secret police of Dragon City?" ”

"It's come to this, I admit it or not, does it matter?" Bai Shan smiled sadly.

"Why?"

The two eyeballs of the wild wolf were about to turn into two red-hot spars, he took a heavy step, gritted his teeth and said, "Bai Shan, why did you betray me, betray the Wild Wolf Gang, and betray the entire leprosy village?" Did you know that behind those bandits, there is a very likely hidden shadow of a monster! ”

"At first, I didn't know."

Bai Shan said quietly, "I guessed later, but it doesn't matter." ”

"It doesn't matter?"

The wild wolf laughed angrily, "Bai Shan, we have known each other for decades, but I seem to have really seen you for the first time at this moment, it turns out that in your heart, acting as a claw of a monster is a non-caring thing?" ”

"Then you come and tell me—"

Bai Shan said calmly like a walking corpse, "Why, can't we act as minions of monsters? Even if it is really completely occupied by monsters, what does it matter? ”

"Monsters are meant to eat people, once the monsters completely occupy Dragon City, they will eat all humans, doesn't it matter?" Meng Chao couldn't help but say loudly.

He really couldn't understand Bai Shan's thinking circuit.

Or is it that the secret method of the mind of the demon god's "whirlpool" has reached such an extent that it can completely distort and shatter people's logical thinking under the premise of perfectly maintaining the calm and normal surface?

"Yes, the monster is going to eat people, and it must not be very wonderful to be devoured by the mouth of the blood basin full of fangs, and the flesh and bones are all ground to pieces."

Bai Shan smiled, her deep gaze turned to the wild wolf, and suddenly asked a seemingly irrelevant question, "Wild wolf, do you remember my mother?" ”

Wild Wolf, Zhang Tie, Meng Chao, Aji, Miss Mulian, Wild Wolf Gang, everyone was stunned for a moment.

Bai Shan's face was dazed, her eyes were out of focus, as if she had traveled through time and space, lost in a long memory, and she muttered, "My mother, like most of the people in the leprosy village, works in the underground workshop where special weapons are refined, and deals with high-radiation, high-pollution, high-toxin monsters and spar materials every day.

"Because we have a third eye in the center of our eyebrows, we can see light and colors that are not visible to normal people, and we can distinguish the subtle differences in the body fluids of different monsters at a glance, and filter out the most powerful acids and venoms.

"Therefore, my mother was assigned to work in the poison quenching workshop, and her task was to carefully apply the monster's highly poisonous body fluids to the rune grooves engraved on the weapons and ammunition, ensure that the coating was evenly applied, and then refine them repeatedly to maximize the power of the weapon.

"It's a dangerous and painful job.

"The more potent the venom and acid, the more permeable it is, and no matter how many layers of protective clothing or gloves you wear, the toxins will penetrate through the molecular gaps and invade the mother's blood, muscles, nerves and bones.

"What's more, in order to ensure the quality of the quenching, the mother must ensure the dexterity of the ten fingers, so she will not be able to wear the best protection, but also the thickest and clumsiest gloves.

"Sometimes, the workshop receives large orders with very high quality requirements, and my mother doesn't even wear gloves and does embroidery with her bare hands.

"After years of hard work, toxins have accumulated in my mother's body, like hundreds of millions of tiny worms, which have completely hollowed her out.

"Mom is a taciturn person, or rather, she has long been tormented by the matter of 'survival' and is not interested in talking or laughing at all.

"For as long as I can remember, there were only three sounds I heard my mother make most often – coughing, moaning, and the 'thump' of her fist hitting her joints, oh, four, and the 'click' sound in the joints.

"My mother told me that human joints are like mechanical gears, and if they are rusty and can't move, they might be able to find a hammer and knock it a few times.

"When I was a child, I didn't know anything, and I really thought that my mother was some kind of superhuman made of machinery, and she could do anything.

"Unfortunately, it is impossible to completely remove the rust by relying on a hammer alone, let alone make the rusty machinery shine as good as new.

"No matter how desperately my mother coughed, moaned, and pounded her fists on the joints, her body was irretrievably ruined, and little by little.

Gradually, my mother's teeth fell out, and all the pulp nerves were exposed, and even drinking saliva hurt her tears.

Later, my mother's spine was gone, and her waist kept bending, bending a few more degrees every day, from a tall and toned woman to a lobster-like monster all day long.

I was scared of such a mother, but she smiled and comforted me that it was okay, and said that the way she was doing it now was more convenient for her to work at the desk and continue to apply more weapons and more venom.

"After a while, my mother's eyes were gone.

"Originally, our third eye had more than 300% of the visual function of ordinary people, and its vision, visual range, and ability to distinguish colors were all more powerful than many extraordinary people.

But after working in a venom-fumigated environment for a long time, my mother's three eyes were severely eroded, as if covered with a white film, and her vision became more and more blurry.

"But because her body was extremely weak, and she didn't get enough food and medicine—at that time, Miss Mulian hadn't grown up, she hadn't been able to awaken to her magical healing powers, and no one could help her mother relieve her pain, and the bruises were always not good, from blue to purple and from purple to black, even if she was a mother, I thought she was very ugly.

Eventually, on the morning of her mother's total blindness, her eyes widened for the last time, and she groped around to reach the underground workshop where she had worked all her life.

"You can do the rest without your eyes.

Mom found a whole jar of monster venom to smear swords and bullets, opened the lid, and drank it down.

"My mother died like this, and like countless leprosy villagers who couldn't bear the torture, in the underground workshop where she worked, there were six uncles and aunts who chose to die the same way as she did.

"It's really a prosaic story.

"The only thing that impressed me was that when we cremated my mother, we found that her bones emitted a fluorescent color like a spar vein, and even 'crackled' and burst into colorful sparks.

"It turns out that the deadly elements contained in the body fluids of various monsters and spar powder have long been stuffed with mother's bones - in the terminology of transcendentals, mother's bones can be called 'spirit bones', right? Ha, haha! ”

Bai Shan tugged at the corners of her mouth and let out a miserable laugh.

"Bai Shan, I know that you have been suffering from your aunt's death, and you have never walked out for so many years."

The wolf said in a deep voice, "But what does this have to do with you becoming a monster's minions?" ”

"Ever since the day my mom turned into a firework and died, I've been pondering two questions."

Bai Shan's three eyeballs were all frozen, and she said in a daze, "First, wild wolf, do you think that my mother is in the underground workshop day after day, year after year, constantly eroded by toxins and acids, gradually hollowing out flesh, nerves, bones, and internal organs, and finally rotting alive, which is more painful; Or is it more painful to be eaten by the monster in one bite? ”

"This ......"

The wolf was silent.

"If, for a few years or even decades, she didn't see the possibility of her children changing their fate before she died, and after a few years, she would still follow in her footsteps, which would be more painful, then——"

Bai Shan smiled and said, "Suppose that at the beginning, a monster sneaked into the leprosy village and bit my mother to death, making her a hundred in an instant, wouldn't it be helping my mother relieve her pain?"

"If that's the case, you say, should I hate this monster or be grateful to it?"
