Chapter 229: Old Ancestor

“…… Are you satisfied? ”

The appearance of Mrs. Wang was almost silent, not because she had any skills, but because my attention was on these egg shells. When she walked up to me, I sniffed her more carefully, it should be a person, at least not a worm or a snake. And beyond that, the Golden Heart didn't alert me to the mortal danger that was about to happen.

Of course, this does not mean that Mrs. Wang has no hostility towards me, but she may not have the ability to really hurt me.

"Satisfied? Why do you ask? I shifted my gaze back to the egg shell on the ground, "I guess these things are also related to those children, right?" ”

"yes, relevant." The old lady walked around me, came to one of the white-haired eggs, crouched down, stretched out her hand, and stroked it gently, as if she were caressing her own young son, "Those children are cursed, and they will die young, not more than twenty-five years old. But when they die, they don't really disappear completely, they will wither, they will shrink, all the flesh and bones will coalesce, and finally they will become these things. ”

"You're the one who left them here."

"Hmm...... You see, these white hairballs, like the eggs of some creature? If they are eggs, maybe they will hatch one day, and maybe they will be reborn in these eggs? So, I'm going to have to keep them. ”

"yes, I see. But Auntie, you don't seem to have answered my original question, why are you asking me if I'm happy with this picture? And in addition to that, there is also a problem with your tone, and it seems to be a guess, but can't you see it when I can't see that those eggs are broken. ”

I quickly shifted my gaze to the white-haired eggs that had broken their shells.

"Oh, I don't know who you are, but you know a lot. I've seen a lot of people like you, don't you love to see that? Sometimes it seems to be very concerned and sympathetic, but in fact? If there's nothing down there, you're bored. ”

"Looks like you've seen a lot of people."

"Yes, I've seen a lot, and I've buried a lot of ......" She suddenly turned her eyes to me, that look particularly weird, this old lady is over ninety years old, but her body is much better than her peers, and now when she looks at me, her eyes are even more intense, as if there are two poisonous snakes in her eyes, which will jump out at any time and use their deadly venom to corrode me.

"You want to bury me too?" I asked.

"You can't let outsiders know about this. Whoever you are, you're always an outsider to me, so you're going to die. ”

"Are you sure you're going to kill me?"

"I'm not sure, but you shouldn't be able to leave." The old lady silently turned her head and glanced upstairs, bang! The iron door above closed with a heavy thud.

"Oh?"

"Hey, hey, hey......"

She laughed, her gaze shifting from my body to mine. I turned my head sideways, only to find that a few white-haired eggs on the side actually began to tremble faintly.

"Is it a coincidence, young man? I'm worried about this, and I'm very worried. But you're here, just in time for their new shells. That's providence, isn't it? Forget it, I just hope it's perfect this time, and I hope they can come back. ”

Click!

As soon as the old lady's voice fell, I heard the sound of an egg shell being broken.

That's why the old lady said that he didn't have much power to kill me. It turned out that she was going to test the creatures in these egg shells and kill me.

But her words were strange.

It's strange in the words "perfect" and "back".

It's just that before I could ask, there were already a few white-haired eggs around me!

A few young insects came out of the egg shell, like the one that Ye Tianze and others had incarnated outside the Moshan wormhole, but it was very small, like a puppy......

But this "dog" only took a few breaths, and his body swelled rapidly, grinning his teeth, and his face was full of fierceness! They quickly grew to human size, and then pounced on me like crazy!

My body did not enter the alienation, although this thing was fierce and not slow, but it was still within my acceptable range, I dodged two of them, and was pressed to the ground by the third, and I grabbed its two sharpest claws with both hands! At such close range, I could clearly see its human-like and insect-like face!

Its big black eyes, its exploding fangs, and drooling down my face, it was about to bite down! I can only open my mouth and strangle its head in an instant with my tentacles!

I was able to get out, but there was a heart-rending roar from the old lady's side!

"You! Yes! What did you do?! ”

Obviously, she didn't expect me to kill one of them.

"Stop, stop!!" When she saw that I continued to open my mouth and my tentacles floated around me, she quickly rushed over and used her human body to block between us monsters.

But the strange thing is that although those monsters are crazy, they still seem to have some intelligence, at least they can tell the difference between me and the old lady, none of them take the initiative to attack the old lady, but let out a whining mouth to hear a trace of grievance.

In addition to grievances, in the roar, there is more pain, confusion, and struggle......

"I ...... I don't know what you are...... I don't know, but ...... But don't hurt them, give them a chance! Maybe...... Maybe they have a chance! Don't hurt them! ”

As she spoke, she turned around and hugged the two remaining worms with her body, and she was shaking, and the worms seemed to be shaking too.

Their roars grew weaker and weaker, and they wanted to pounce, but the old lady held them down, and they couldn't resist.

Eventually, they shrank into a ball and their bodies withered.

Shrink to baby size and dry and harden into powder.

I withdrew my tentacles, walked over to the old lady, and asked, "What did you do to them?" ”

"It's not me......," she shook her head, looking in pain.

So I seemed to understand what she meant by "perfection", "return" and "opportunity", "So, in fact, they would have died, and even if they become eggs, even if they are resurrected, it will be short-lived, right?" ”

"...... right"

"And what if they eat me, what will happen? Live longer? Or ......"

This seems to be the thing that makes the old lady more painful, "There will be no change, most will not." This exception has only happened three times, three children died and came back, and they all ate people, so I thought maybe cannibalism would be an opportunity......" Speaking of this, she suddenly turned around, her eyes were full of bloodshots, stared at me, and asked, "You, the same as them?" ”

"It's not quite the same."

"You...... What exactly do you want to do in the middle of the night? ”

"Why did you suddenly jump to this question?" This is not the first time that the old lady has asked me, why am I looking for Silent Night? Every time I hear this question, I feel like it's not a simple question.

There are too many ordinary people in this world, and if you ask a question to an ordinary person, maybe the old lady will also ask me, what are you looking for that person? But it was pure curiosity, because she probably felt that my actions didn't make much sense.

Because of that person's ordinariness.

But when asked about the silent night, the old lady's question was about the silent night itself.

She knows the extraordinary things about Silent Night, so her question is actually asking me if my purpose for finding Silent Night coincides with the anomalies she understands about Silent Night?

"You, answer me first." The old lady insisted.

"I'm in Gujing Town, and I know another silent night, that's the reason I said, and it's not wrong at all."

The old lady frowned, "Why?" No, you ......"

"What's the difference between a silent night?" So, I went from my question to her question.

"She, actually...... It's the old ancestor. ”

Ancestor?

What does that mean?

"In the quiet night, she will also die, before the age of twenty-five, and then she will also become an egg, and her egg will also break its shell, but ...... She always survived. She will become a baby again, and then grow into a silent night, and so on and so on and so on. ”

Reincarnation?

But why is this so? What is the difference between Silent Night and other insects?

The strange feeling of the first time I saw Silent Night, the fear and yearning, and the extreme fear that the golden heart would be taken away from her, all poured out of my body like instinct. I'm curious to know if the quiet night here will give me the same feeling.

"Where the hell is the silent night?" So, I asked this question again.

The old lady shook her head, "I don't know, I should be back." I can't control the quiet night, she did go out to buy something, it's time to come back......"

She was in a trance, and I couldn't tell if it was a lie.

"What are you going to do when you find Silent Night?" She asked me.

"I don't know, but I should take her away."

"Why, she's just a kid?"

"......" I didn't answer her question, I just turned my gaze to the eggs, and I felt as if I had to do something.

The old lady was very sensitive to this matter, she probably saw my murderous intentions, suddenly went crazy, hugged me, "What are you going to do?" You, are you going to ruin them? It's possible that they are still alive, that they are ...... There is a possibility of resurrection! ”

"Yes, they will be resurrected, but who should bear the resurrection of one life for another?"

"Is it wrong that they are born with pain?"

"That's right."

"Is it wrong to give them a chance?"

"That's right."

"Then why are you...... Why murderous intentions? ”

I pushed the old lady away, "Because those who don't have their pain, and that's right." ”

"Then kill me first, I promised them, and every time they left, I told them that I would wait for them to come back, make their favorite snacks, and take them to the places they wanted but didn't have a chance to go...... I promised, I promised......" the old lady got up and stood in front of me, "kill me, they kill by instinct, like a cat eats fish, and a dog eats meat." They don't know it's wrong to kill, but I do. It's not so much that they're wrong, but that I'm the real killer of all the murders here. ”

"You don't think so?" I raised my hand and turned into a claw.

But at this moment, there were footsteps from above, and Bai Wuji's somewhat lazy voice, "Brother, she is over ninety years old, and she won't live for a few years, so she won't kill her." ”
