Chapter 7: The First Mission Completed (Updated Today with Nearly 9,000 Words)

"Grandma Liu, calm down!"

Xia Ren was sweating on his back, and he had already taken out the coward's ear picker, ready to defend at any time.

No one can easily calm down if he curses his son's death, Grandma Liu stood up from the sofa, her eyes were full of resentment, she raised her hands and pointed at Xia Ren's neck, making a gesture.

"What did you just hear, why are you so angry all of a sudden?" Xia Ren stalked his neck, looking innocent.

The expression on his face really seemed to be completely unaware, as if he had suffered a great grievance, and Mrs. Liu paused when she heard this: "You said that he died in Jizhong......"

"I didn't, I wasn't, you heard me wrong!" Xia Ren took a bite to say.

Mrs. Liu showed her mouth full of white teeth, "Impossible, I heard it clearly just now!" ”

"You just heard it wrong! Grandma Liu, think about it, will I be the kind of person who doesn't want to die? Xia Ren gasped nervously, his face flushed.

It's a matter of success or failure.

Mrs. Liu felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't say what was wrong, so she hesitated, and the movements in her hands stopped.

As soon as Xia Ren saw that there was a play, he hurriedly struck while the iron was hot: "What I just said clearly is that your son may not be able to come back for a while abroad!" How can you hear me say that your son is dead? ”

Could it really be that I heard it wrong, but how could this be, I heard it so clearly just now......

Mrs. Liu was confused.

Ever since she was born, she has always considered herself a ghost, and this is the first time she has been able to talk to a human, and there is really no way to tell if she is wrong or deceived by the other party.

"Grandma Liu, you sit back first, let's take a while." Xia Ren breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the other party was about to speak and stopped sitting down again.

Sure enough, you can fool!

From the first few lines of dialogue, he was trying to see through the other party's way of thinking, but he didn't expect to be able to communicate like a normal person.

Although she is a type of infected person, she is a hostile existence to humans, but she did not show any hostility to herself after entering the house, and she is completely like a grandmother next door who comes to the door, and she is even easier to deceive. The initial fear comes from the location, and after getting to know the other person, I am not so afraid.

Xia Ren calculated in his heart, and pretended to be mysterious and said, "Grandma Liu, do you believe in Buddhism?" ”

Since the other party thinks that he is a ghost, then he prescribes the right medicine.

Mrs. Liu's thoughts were not very clear, so she nodded and said, "Believe a little bit." ”

"Great, just believe it."

Xia Ren rubbed his hands, became bolder, and said with ease: "I think your state just now is very likely to be related to what the Buddhist scriptures say. How long have you been dead? ”

"Probably, two months." Mrs. Liu's tone was hesitant, not very sure.

"It's been more than a month." Xia Ren corrected, "Can you still remember the events of your life?" ”

"I can't remember exactly."

"That's great!"

"What's so good?" Mrs. Liu was a little panicked, she felt that her situation did not seem to be good.

Xia Ren cleared his throat: "I mean you are a very good person, I asked the residents downstairs during the day, and they all said that you are usually helpful, and you are the first to come together to help anyone who is in a little difficulty, and you have an amiable attitude towards juniors, so the young people in the community are willing to talk to you, and everyone respects you very much." Do you remember these? ”

Is there such a thing? When I was alive, it turned out to be so good?

Mrs. Liu couldn't think of anything, but after all, she praised herself, although she was puzzled, she still accepted it all: "That's right, I'm a person, I'm a lot older, and I don't ask for anything, but I'm kind, I can't see others uncomfortable, and I always think about who I can help." ”

"......" Xia Ren.

"That is to say, how could such a good person suddenly get angry with me, a junior?" He said sincerely, as if he felt that the change just now was excusable.

Mrs. Liu grabbed her pants embarrassedly, and at the same time already thought that she had really misheard it just now.

Only, what's the problem? Why do I have auditory hallucinations?

"This must be the reason why you have been lingering in the world for too long!" Xia Ren's words were convincing, "The Buddhist scriptures say that all ghosts who stay in the world will inevitably be contaminated with anger, no matter how good this person was in life, after a long time, he will become a powerful ghost, and finally be relegated to the eighteenth layer of hell, tortured forever, and cannot be reborn." Grandma Liu, you are so serious that you began to mishear my words, and you were about to kill me just now, this state is very dangerous, maybe when black and white impermanence will come to arrest you! ”

"Huh?"

Mrs. Liu was completely panicked, she was already dead, so what she was most afraid of was hell or something, so she hurriedly begged: "Can you go to hell, young man, do you have any way to help grandma?" ”

"Grandma Liu, you are in a hurry first, there must be a way." Xia Ren seemed to empathize, and his face was full of anxious expressions, and asked, "You go downstairs and knock on the door every night, can you tell me the reason?" ”

Mrs. Liu recalled with a painful expression: "I stayed in my room every day, and I felt so lonely, so I wanted to find a neighbor to hang out......"

Her only son, who had settled in a foreign country, had always been alone during her lifetime, and this loneliness became more and more magnified after her death, eventually driving her to wander the corridors every night, knocking on doors from door to door, just longing for someone to talk to her.

But no one could see her, and no matter how much she knocked on the door, the door remained closed.

She has never been able to get rid of the fate of loneliness.

Mrs. Liu's expression was lonely, this was not pretending.

For a moment, Xia Ren really thought that it was the real Mrs. Liu who was sitting in front of him, and he couldn't help but feel a little gloomy in his heart, and began to sympathize with her experience, but then he came back to his senses, gritted his teeth, and reminded himself that what was in front of him was a type of infection, a product of pollution, and an enemy of mankind, even if he was pitiful, he was the opposite of himself!

Can't be sympathetic!

Can't be moved!

"But you have already caused a lot of trouble to the neighbors, and they respect that you were a good person when you were alive, so they didn't invite Taoist monks, otherwise...... Alas. He was halfway through his words, deliberately leaving the most terrible result for the other party to chew on.

Mrs. Liu thought about it, she was really guilty, and she was afraid, she was guilty that she had failed her neighbors who loved her, and she was afraid that she was fortunate that she was not taken to hell by the ghosts.

She now felt like she wasn't supposed to be in this world.

"Grandma Liu, there is also the matter of the evening, do you know anything about the house I live in now? And the girl who was with me, do you have any impressions? Xia Ren took the opportunity to ask about his private affairs.

After all, Mrs. Liu lives at the opposite door, maybe she knows Zhao Mingyue, and the secrets of this room, at least she can provide some clues.

However, Mrs. Liu's answer surprised him: "What girl, yesterday evening, I only saw you standing alone in front of the door." ”

Xia Ren was stunned.

I didn't even see Zhao Mingyue as an infected person, could it be that yesterday was an illusion?

I am...... Came to this room on your own?

"In addition, this house, I only feel that there is something hidden inside, which makes me very uneasy, yesterday I wanted to remind you that it is best not to go in, but just as I was about to speak, the door suddenly opened."

The rest of the matter, she doesn't need her to say that Xia Ren also knows.

"And do you have an impression of the people who lived here before?"

The wrinkles on Mrs. Liu's face were huddled together, and she shook her head: "There should have been someone in this room before, but it was too vague, it seemed to be a long, long time ago, and I can't remember anything." ”

It seems that there will be no more gains from continuing to ask, and Xia Ren intends to solve the current problem once and for all.

"Grandma Liu, what do you want to do most now, I maybe, I can help you."

Mrs. Liu could vaguely guess what he meant, and she was silent for a long time, and said in a pleading tone: "I want to see Jizhong one last time." ”

This is probably her greatest wish.

Loneliness, just because you can't see the people you care about, has nothing to do with your neighbors.

Looking at the old lady Liu in front of him, who frightened him at first, but now she is just like an old man left behind, Xia Ren took a deep breath, "Give me his number, and I will help you get in touch."

Be sure to make your son kowtow to your grave! ”

Mrs. Liu's face struggled, and this time she hesitated for a longer time.

Her eyes were cloudy, and something was brewing.

Mrs. Liu didn't want to go to hell, and she was reluctant to give up her son. But she's dead, so should she let her son come back and face an old lady who doesn't have a sanity?

"I believe in you, young man."

Xia Ren handed over a blank piece of paper, and she wrote down a string of numbers on the paper.

[Infected body is detected to lose resistance, can it be sealed, is it sealed?] 】

The prompt of the system has finally arrived.

【Yes】

Just as he confirmed, countless tentacles from the same tentacles he had seen last night reached out from behind his back and leaned forward.

Faced with such a sudden change, Mrs. Liu opened her mouth in horror, but it was too late.

The tentacles quickly wrapped around her body, and before the latter could struggle, her body seemed to be sucked dry by the tentacles, became transparent, and finally disappeared into thin air, leaving no wails behind.

Xia Ren was also dumbfounded.

In less than a second, the tentacles appeared and disappeared, as fast as lightning, and disappeared together, as well as Mrs. Liu, who was sitting opposite just now.

It seemed that something more was in my mind, and the system gave a hint again.

[Congratulations to the host for successfully sealing the Class 1 infective, the first mission has been completed, reward: Level 1 Anti-Pollution Solution*1.] The primary anti-contamination solution can be used to correct Class I and II infections, but is not effective for Class III infections and aberrations. 】

Looking at the options given by the system, Xia Ren was sure that he was not dazzled.

"And increase the pollution value?"
