Chapter 105: Insect Corpse

She led the way.

But before Li Yue told me that she had never been to the broken temple.

It was a lie, and now that she thinks about it, she was terrified when she said it. The panic is not because of guilt, but because of the fear of outbursting and revealing something......

She kept blocking the police.

It seems that Sakoteng's disappearance is not just as simple as being attacked by monsters.

"What's wrong, dude?" Ye Yan looked at me suspiciously.

I thought of another question and asked, "Why did you chase that monster that day?" ”

"Why? No, your brother's little girlfriend has to see it, I'll play to my strengths, and go around the corpse temple with them......"

"I'm not talking about this, I'm saying, you found a dark shadow when you were about to leave, why did you chase after it? Looking at the information given by Li Yue now, you probably mistook that person for me, and said that Zuo Ziteng was in trouble at home, and you want to catch up and take a look? ”

Ye Yan looked confused, "No, who said that I wanted to catch up and take a look?" Am I sick? The black light is blinding, and a group of us are chasing a monster? I did mean, your brother is in trouble with their family, and that thing has appeared in their house...... But the first one to catch up was the little girl, I thought she was excited to see the ghost or something, your brother was interested when he saw it...... No, ahem, I was worried about her, so I followed. I was afraid that the two of them would be in trouble, so I chased after them. ”

So that girl was completely lying to me.

I did underestimate a child's ability to lie, mistaking her panic for residual fear.

What a mistake you shouldn't have made.

Now it seems that Li Yue deliberately led a few people to the mountain, and deliberately chased the monster. Perhaps the position where they reported to wait for dawn was also deliberately guided by her.

Why, exactly?

"Gotta find her." I guess there's another story in that.

"Looking for her? Not looking for your brother anymore? Ye Yan asked.

"Find ...... Let me think. ”

If I can easily find the place where they stayed before, of course I am willing to go to Zuo Ziteng as soon as possible, after all, Zuo Ziteng's life and death are uncertain now. But Li Yue also has a more direct clue. I glanced at Ye Yan helplessly, why did I meet a road idiot?

But in fact, he can't be blamed, in this mountain road and woods, it is indeed difficult to identify the direction, and it is understandable that he is lost. At the same time, Li Yue's ability to easily identify the route was even more strange. I even had the idea that the girl might have been here for many years.

"Hey, hey, big brother, wait a minute, I seem to be a little impressed!" Ye Yan suddenly took a flashlight and shone it in one direction in the woods, as if he remembered something, and said to me: "It seems to be that direction, not too far!" ”

"Really?"

"What am I lying to you for, I'm also in a hurry."

"Let's go!"

"Then, don't you look for Li Yue?"

"Look, you take me to that place first, and then you go back and look for it. You try to ...... Keep her under control. "I don't know if my statement is right or wrong, I always feel that if I say this, it is likely that these two fools will be wrong, maybe messed up. But right now it's the best of both worlds.

"Okay, let's go, but what are you doing with her?"

"She has a problem, you go back and think about it slowly, and lead the way first." I'm worried about saying too much wrong.

After about half an hour, I was taken to an open field, I guess this was the place, there were still traces of a fight on the ground, and I also smelled the familiar smell, the smell of the noodle shop owner's residence.

"Brother, the place has arrived, what are you going to do? I'm going to control Li Yue now? Ye Yan asked me.

I looked around closely, nodded, and didn't respond.

"That'...... So I'm gone? He asked again.

"Let's go."

"Can you really do it yourself? Actually, I can help you, I'll ......."

Bother.

It's really annoying.

I turned my back to Ye Yan, raised my left hand, and turned into a worm claw.

"What the hell?!"

Ye Yan shouted, and then disappeared on the way he came.

Finally quiet again, calm down, look around, but there seems to be nothing special. In Li Yue and Ye Yan's narrative, the monster fell from the sky. There are quite a few tall trees around here, and it seems that the thing can move freely between the trees.

The power is not small, and it is very fast.

The closest to the marks of the fight, there was only a tall enough tree, and I lay under this tree and sniffed it carefully, and the smell was stronger than the surroundings. Then my hand pressed to a bulging rock beside me, overgrown with weeds. There was soft dirt all around, but this stone always made me feel a little conspicuous.

But the stone was big enough, like a small table, and if a few people were tired at that time, then Bacheng would sit on it and rest.

I put my nose close to the gap between the stone and the ground, and sure enough, I smelled an even stronger smell of dried insects!

"That's it."

I alienated my body and pushed the stone harder, and sure enough, I could move it away. As he moved, the smell of dried insects continued to emanate, and a circular hole appeared under the stone, and the flashlight shone downward, revealing a downward slope. I got inside, sliding down the passage into a hand-dug tunnel.

The tunnels are neat and branched, but not too complicated.

I followed the smell that kept wafting into my nose and searched all the way to a room deep in the tunnel, which had a wooden door, and the moment I opened the door, the smell of dried insects came to my face. But in addition to the insects, there is also a faint rancid smell.

That's the smell of corpses.

In the light of the flashlight, I saw rows of wooden shelves filled with bottles and cans, which reminded me of Du Youlan, and I had seen these things in her former home.

The room was large, and I kept exploring it, and on the inside of the last shelf, I saw a withered corpse lying on a wooden bed, which looked like a human being, but was not human.

"It's ......"

It has a rickety body, a pair of claws, a mouth that is very cracked, extending outward fangs, and its eyes are almost at the position of its forehead, which is large, occupying a small half of its forehead. It was surrounded by ancient books scattered all over the ground, and I picked up one of them, the words on which I did not recognize, which did not belong to any kind of writing I knew.

There were some patterns on the pages that I could probably recognize, and they seemed to be strange insects.

"Who the hell is it?" I put the book down and found four lines on the wall next to my bed.

It's crookedly written, but it's recognizable, and the content is: It's good that she's still alive.

I will let her live, no matter what sin she bears.

The sin is mine alone, and it should be very painful for her to live like this, right?

I'm going to die, so what happens after that?

……

In fact, there is still some content under these four lines of text, but it is too vague to be clear. The last line of words is engraved very shallowly, and I feel that when I carved these words, the person who carved them was already extremely weak. I reached out and gently touched the handwriting, which, judging by the width of the marks, was carved by the claws of the corpse's hands.

"She, iniquity, live......" I read the key words in those engravings over and over again.

Some speculation gradually came to my mind.

Looking at the bottles and cans around me, my eyes turned to the insect corpse again, "Are you, the Shentu boss of the noodle restaurant?" What you call her ......"

As soon as I opened my mouth, suddenly, there was a "whine" sound behind me.

It's like a vicious wolf, staring at a piece of blood-stained flesh!

I moved on my feet, ready to turn back, but the wooden frame had been completely washed away, and a foul-smelling humanoid beast pounced on me, pinning me firmly against the wall! It is petite, but its strength is great, its long messy hair covers its facial features, it opens its bloody mouth, and two rows of jagged sharp teeth can be seen between its hair!!

It's it!

The monster in Li Yue's mouth!

"Uh...... Uhh "It growls at me, ready to bite down! But before that, I had already alienated half of my body, lifted my foot, and kicked it straight away!

It slammed into the roof of the room, shattering the toppled wooden frame as it fell! A puff of smoke rises from the ruins! But it seemed to be painless, and rose from the smoke, swiftly as a ghost, and in the blink of an eye it was in front of me again, a pair of sharp claws grabbing at my chest, tearing my clothes, leaving eight trails of flesh and blood on my exoskeleton.

It was extremely nimble, and when I was distracted by the scratch, it turned and jumped on my back, opened its mouth, and struck me on the shoulder with its jagged teeth!

That bite almost crushed my bones!

The pain made me angry, and my claws twisted back to almost deform, and then grabbed its waist! Pull it right off my back and smash it to the ground!

Rumble!!

There was a loud bang! The ground is dented!

The monster squirted out a mouthful of blood, dyed the hair that was blocking the mess of the face, and pasted it on the face, until it convulsed all over its body, unable to get up. I clasped its neck with my claws, and I could easily remove its head if I pinched it hard! But the sudden sound of footsteps and shouts caught my attention and stopped me.

"Don't kill, don't kill!! Other...... Well? ”

shouted, it was Zuo Ziteng!

He rushed in in a panic, and when he saw the scene in front of him, the panic on his face turned into extreme fear! After hesitating for a few seconds, the kid grabbed the broken wood on the ground and rushed over!

Then......

A piece of wood fell on my head!

I stared at him: "Are you crazy? ”

"I ...... , yes, talk? He was so frightened that not only did he not stop, but he threw a stick on my head even more frantically!

I raised my claws and grabbed the stick that Sako Teng had picked up, and my body gradually regained its human appearance, and then I pulled the stick away, "Crazy? It's me! ”

Zuo Ziteng looked confused at this time, and there was even more intense horror in the confusion than before, "Brother...... Elder brother? You, how do you ...... You, what are you, you ......"

This seems to have become a difficult problem to explain.
