Chapter 53: Attack
It was a male corpse.
The transparent body bag wraps the body like a layer of plastic wrap. The man's skin was tense, and the expression on his face was like a relieved indifference. Maybe there was some unwillingness in life, but after death, the unwillingness will disappear.
Han Jiangfeng's hands were still trembling, and he felt his heart pounding, it was a kind of fierceness close to the truth, and it was also a kind of hypocrisy to escape the horror.
Pushing the corpse compartment back, the faint smell of corpses in the air seemed to dissipate a little. Han Jiangfeng forced himself to calm down, and his eyes were aimed at the morgue next to him again.
Searching for the truth here, wasting time for no reason is obviously a waste of life. Although Han Jiangfeng was somewhat sure of his guess, he was not 100% sure.
According to the mission description given by the black watch, the mission was officially released after the investigation of Xu Shilin's death. In other words, investigating Xu Shilin's death is a prerequisite task that must be completed, like a kind of elimination system, eliminating the less capable Chosen One.
Of course, this elimination is tantamount to execution.
The rules are cruel, and the Chosen One bound by the rules is like an ant.
Han Jiangfeng knew this very well, so he was extremely careful about his every move, for fear of triggering a dead end in advance.
Just as he pushed another corpse compartment in, he suddenly heard footsteps outside the door, and his movements slammed, and then a cold light flashed in his eyes.
Regardless of whether the other party was an ordinary person or a chosen one, Han Jiangfeng had no intention of sparing the other party's life.
Naturally, it is best if it is the chosen one. Kill with one hit, then harvest the opponent's black watch, obtain the opponent's trick, and then have a better chance of finding a way out.
With this in mind, Han Jiangfeng was like a poisonous snake ready to attack, he carefully avoided the light that came out of the crack in the door and stretched through, and hid behind the door panel.
With an extra knife in his hand, he held his breath and waited.
-……
Zhou Xueqiu's steps suddenly froze, and his eyes keenly caught the cigarette butts on the ground that had not yet burned out.
Then came the lock that had been opened.
"Has anyone been here?"
The door lock was not damaged, but it was a trace of normal opening, which was much smarter than Zhou Xueqiu's last time he used wire to open the lock. Maybe it's just the staff of the central hospital who are doing routine checks inside.
So, is it advance or retreat?
Zhou Xueqiu hesitated for a moment and took a step forward.
……
With a creaky sound, the door suddenly opened.
A tall figure was like a god illuminated by an aura, bringing the light from the corridor to the dark and gloomy morgue.
The moment the figure stepped into the morgue, Han Jiangfeng sent the knife in his hand out without hesitation!
Stabbed!
The feeling of the tip of the knife breaking into the flesh made Han Jiangfeng feel extremely familiar. His heart was beating wildly, his blood was surging, and he knew that he couldn't give the other party time to fight back, so he stabbed dozens of times in a row, until he saw that the floor was soaked in blood, and he was completely relieved.
"Whose person is it, Wang Hao, or Du Longhai?" Han Jiangfeng muttered to himself, beads of sweat oozing from his forehead.
Looking at the young man who was crawling to the ground, Han Jiangfeng's heart revealed a fierceness.
"Don't blame me, blame you for choosing the wrong time."
He vaguely remembered a legend about the morgue. Neither the medical examiner nor the doctor were allowed to call each other's names in the room for the first seven days of sending the body to the morgue, otherwise the spirits that had not yet dispersed would coalesce into ghosts to find wronged creditors.
Regarding gods and ghosts, Han Jiangfeng naturally didn't believe it.
After all, he became the Chosen One and learned about the cruel and mysterious side of the world, and the existence of the "beast" crushed his materialist beliefs, but supported a deeper level of atheism.
Han Jiangfeng was about to step over the corpse and continue to inspect the morgue compartment, but his ankle was suddenly grabbed by a cold hand, he looked down suddenly, and the young man who was stabbed to death by him opened his eyes at some point, and stared at him viciously!
"Ahhh
Han Jiangfeng screamed, his body retreated, but he suddenly felt a pain in his waist, he looked back in horror, and the shadow of a tall young man was reflected in his sight.
Zhou Xueqiu's face was expressionless, he pulled out the knife, and kicked the stabbed Han Jiangfeng to the ground with another kick: "Why, do you hate me so much?" ”
He clearly saw that Han Jiangfeng stabbed dozens of knives at the ground.
"Yes, it's an illusion 'trick'!" Han Jiangfeng scanned the ground in horror, there was no corpse, no blood, everything was just his own illusion, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of anger that he had been deceived.
"I don't need to answer your questions," Zhou Xueqiu said lightly, unloading the weapon in the other party's hand, "You are the Chosen One." What is your purpose, make everything clear, and I'll give you three minutes. ”
Being coerced, a look of panic appeared on Han Jiangfeng's face: "My name is Han Jiangfeng, and I came here to look for Xu Shilin's body!" ”
"As far as I know, Xu Shilin's body hasn't been sent yet. The body was found in a certain community this morning," Zhou Xueqiu seemed to smile, "What do you say? ”
"Brother, if you can come here, don't be tempted," Han Jiangfeng smiled bitterly, his mind was spinning rapidly, thinking about a way to get out, "There are definitely two Xu Shilin, this kind of mission similar to 'doppelganger', you must have experienced it." ”
Zhou Xueqiu raised his eyebrows, noncommittal.
Regarding the strange talk about doppelgangers, there was indeed a similar existence in the few tasks that Zhou Xueqiu completed.
The mission is naturally a "containment beast", but it requires them to come into contact with a man who is sweeping their mother's grave. They follow the task to get to know the man step by step, listen to the man tell him about all the strange things he has been going through, and finally help him get rid of what he fears—someone who looks exactly like him.
And the nightmare has just begun, the person killed by the Chosen One is the deity, and the one they have been in contact with is the embodiment of the real "beast".
That mission almost wiped them out.
……
"So, I suspect that this is a mission similar to the 'doppelganger'," Seeing that the young man in front of him did not speak, Han Jiangfeng swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "Since the black watch says 'investigate the death of the doctor', then the doctor must be dead." ”
"Why didn't you come early?" Zhou Xueqiu asked, as if he was pondering Han Jiangfeng's words. He lowered his head, as if he had never noticed that Han Jiangfeng had quietly stretched out his hand behind him.
Han Jiangfeng's heart was beating violently.
He knew that the young man didn't do it for the time being, just because the other party didn't know everything he wanted to know. Once the utilization value is squeezed out, then what awaits you is only death.
Because of this, he pinned all his hopes on the next attack!
Han Jiangfeng licked his dry lips and said slowly: "I participated in a temporary team before, and I originally wanted to use their strength to complete the pre-task, but I didn't expect them to choose to kill the fake doctor sitting in the office...... Because of this, I broke away from the team alone. ”
