Chapter 64: The Game
The black fog pillar of Lingxi Mountain did not dissipate, and those extremely high concentrations of abnormal fog were like the most evil substances in this world, constantly spreading on the mountain like an indestructible virus, and the volume of the entire fog column was also expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye.......
At the top of the fog pillar, the body of the fog pillar separated hundreds of strips of black mist, and from a distance, those strips of black fog seemed to have an indescribable vitality, like some kind of strange tentacles of unknown life, and at the end of the nearly a thousand tentacles, there was a "person" gathered by black mist.
It is the one who speaks.
"Millions of people have died because of me......"
Chen Xian turned around and raised his head, looking at the figure suspended in mid-air with a calm face, the words that came out of its mouth did not seem to cause too many mood swings in Chen Xian, and the eyes looking at it were as calm as they were at the beginning.
"You really weren't wiped out by me."
Hearing Chen Xian's voice without any emotion, the black mist figure suspended in the air seemed to be stunned for a second, and then slowly fell to the ground with a smile, stepping on the mud ground silently.
Feeling the strange and indescribable aura on its body, the people in the field began to retreat, instinctively trying to distance themselves from it.
"Boss, it looks like a spirit." Lu Yisheng held the instrument that constantly emitted electronic prompts in his hand, and stood behind Chen Xian and looked at the mist man with great vigilance, "The number of yin qi particles in its body is about ten times more than that of ordinary spirit bodies, it is not the most powerful kind, but ..... The instrument reacts strangely, as if it is sometimes undetectable. ”
"You retreat with the others, don't rush near it." Chen Xian's voice was very low, as if he was afraid that the misty man who appeared inexplicably would hear it, and a very soft voice sounded between the slight tremors of his lips, "Take Mu He away when you lead people to retreat, I have scruples about her here, if she doesn't want to go..... You just say I said it. ”
"Okay, then I'll leave it to you here, let's withdraw first!"
When Lu Yisheng was about to organize the crowd and retreat down the mountain, the fog man seemed to know everything for a long time, and suddenly said a word to Lu Yisheng.
"Fear is an ancient emotion that cannot be escaped, and the same is true of death, no matter how far you go, you will eventually be shrouded in the shadow of death, why waste the last days of your life to do meaningless things......" The Misty Man whispered this, as if he thought of something, and couldn't help but shake his head, "Stupid choices will only make you regret it for life......."
"Drag the text, huh?" Lu Yisheng stood fifty meters away from the fog man, and was sure that Chen Xian could protect him at this angle, so he instantly jumped up and shouted at the fog man, "You continue to pretend to Lao Tzu!" I'll see if my boss doesn't beat you out of the! ”
"Your boss? Chen Xian? ”
The fog man suddenly let out a strange laugh with a sense of ridicule, it seemed that the body formed by the black fog was not stable, and its body was trembling at the same time as it laughed, and the black mist on the surface of the body was like many continuous burning black flames, constantly swaying strangely, like a dim candle flame in the dark......
"What do you mean when you say millions of people will die because of me?" Chen Xian looked at the position that was only ten meters away from him, and the expression on his face was as calm as ever.
Mr. Skeleton squatted behind Chen Xian and stared at it, his hands resting on his knees silently, the knuckles that had been eaten by itself were rapidly regenerating.
This skeleton was a little confused, because it felt a different kind of aura from this fog man, even if the feeling conveyed to the skeleton by the fog man was not dangerous, and even much weaker than the previous insect giant, but that kind of aura that was older than the ancient made the skeleton remember many things.
"Be careful." The skeleton suddenly spoke, its huge eyeballs bloodshot, and its partially muscle-filled face showed a solemn expression, "Its smell..... It's kind of like us. ”
"What smell?" Chen Xian frowned.
The skeleton thought for a moment and said, "The smell is so old that it has been obliterated by time." ”
Chen Xian said that he didn't understand the slightly vague answer given by the skeleton, but he could still hear the solemnity in the skeleton's vigilant tone.
It seems that this monster ...... It seems to be more difficult to deal with than I thought......
Chen Xian looked at the fog man silently, and the mask of the sufferer who had just taken off was also put back on his face in an instant.
In an instant, Chen Xian returned to that terrifying appearance.
"You still want to attack me?" The fog man seemed to sense Chen Xian's inner thoughts, and knew what Chen Xian wanted to do in the next second, but it didn't have any intention of dodging, and still stood in place without moving, "The part of the energy you ate before...... My doppelganger...... Your body should be on the verge of collapse....... Although you won't die...... But you shouldn't be able to kill me anytime soon......."
As soon as the words fell, Wuren did not retreat or hide, but took two steps forward, narrowing the distance between himself and Chen Xian.
"You can't kill me, and I can't kill you either, the reason why I appeared in front of you as a character...... Just wanted to talk to you. The fog man let out a strange laugh, each tone giving goosebumps, "Chen Xian, would you like to talk to me?" ”
"Say."
Chen Xian glanced at the fog man, and the skin surface of his right arm instantly separated out strips of metal particles, like tentacles extending from his body, and went straight to the meat saw not far away, like a flexible rope in the cowboy's hand, and the moment he caught the handle of the knife, he withdrew again.
Almost in a second or so, the sawsaw knife more than ten meters away returned to Chen Xian's hand.
"I love storytelling, and since I consciously started to tell all kinds of stories with humans, and although the content of each story is different, their main tone is fixed...... That's fear. ”
The body of the fog man continued to disperse and reunite, as if it was not Chen Xian but himself who was on the verge of body collapse.
"I've seen countless lives...... I have found that no matter what kind of life it is, its emotions are diverse....... Of course, they also have some missing emotions...... It's like there is no happiness in life...... Their lives can only be spent in sorrow and gloom...... Some lives don't feel sadness....... Joy will accompany them until the end of their lives......"
"But they all have one thing in common...... I am not among those missing emotions....... So it makes me happy...... I love the feeling of being remembered in my genes by countless lives......."
As he spoke, the Fog Man began to dance like a mad dancer in the black fog.
"I've always been looking for the purpose of my existence...... Until one late night many years ago....... I found it...... So I tell the story of my imagination in the ears of many lives....... I can feel their joy...... In the words of your modern humans...... That is the ultimate expression of art....... will intoxicate life...... Thus sublimating to another level......."
Chen Xian looked at the fog man expressionlessly, still persistently asking for the answer to a certain question.
"Why do you say that millions of people in Ningchuan will die because of me?"
The fog man seemed to hate being interrupted, it suddenly stopped dancing, turned its head one hundred and eighty degrees to stare at Chen Xian, and the tone of its voice became low, not as weirdly excited as before.
"Because you've ruined my story...... You deserve to die....... In the plot I've built...... You're going to be killed by the energy you eat...... At the moment when you see victory coming, you will be blown to minced meat like fireworks in the daylight........"
Saying this, the fog man slowly turned his body back, and his blurred facial features made it impossible to see what kind of expression it was.
"But I'm not happy that you're not dead, but I'm interested in you...... I want to play a game. ”
Chen Xian looked at it without saying a word, silently adjusting his breathing rate, and using the buffing effect of the Afflicted Mask's mask on the cells in his body as much as possible, he quickly repaired his body that was already riddled with holes.
"From now until midnight tonight, it's time for us to play."
"If I win, I will pull millions of people in Ningchuan City into my story in the next second of zero o'clock, I will tell their own horrors in the ears of each of them, I will sublimate the art of fear from these millions of lives to another level, if you win....."
"If I win, you'll let those civilians go?" Chen Xian asked rhetorically.
Hearing this, the Misty Man was silent for a second, and then burst out laughing.
"Of course not, if you win, I will also kill these millions of low-level lifeforms, because I want to see in you the negative emotions I want to see....... Whether it's fear, pain, or despair...... I'm sure those emotions will be wonderful on your face. ”
Before Chen Xian could speak, the mist man raised his hand and waved, and under its control, the black fog pillar instantly expanded a few points, and the speed of encroaching on Lingxi Mountain became faster and faster.
"You should have heard of this game...... Hide-and-seek. ”
