Chapter 55: Grandma

In the pre-task, the quest requires the Chosen One to "investigate the cause of Xu Shilin's death". The investigation of the cause of death is easy, as long as they find the body hidden in the morgue, with a little medical knowledge, they can be determined; However, if you guess the identity of the murderer wrongly, all your efforts will be in vain.

Zhou Xueqiu glanced at Zhuo Xuan deeply, he didn't expect Zhuo Xuan to grow up quickly, and this former rookie had become sharp.

As the conversation between the two continued, the clock hanging on the wall pointed to twelve. Zhuo Xuan and Zhou Xueqiu's wrists felt a slight tingling sensation at the same time, and they invariably lifted their sleeves and glanced at each other, knowing that the task was officially started from this moment on!

"No. 0239/9551, mission begins, according to the clues found in the investigation, please contain the beast as soon as possible."

"Participants who do not complete the pre-part will be erased."

Zhuo Xuan glanced at Zhou Xueqiu, the other party's face was still expressionless, but he couldn't help but feel a chill rising in his heart.

What the word "obliteration" represents, Zhuo Xuan has become more and more clear. Those who go in the wrong direction will be the stepping stone to pile these two words on the ground more and more ruthlessly.

A depressing atmosphere forced Zhuo Xuan and Zhou Xueqiu to be silent together, and after a long time, Zhuo Xuan slowly asked, "Containment beasts...... What do we need to do now? ”

In the previous missions, the black watch had indicated the location of the mission, or the beast appeared beside them, and Zhuo Xuan had to be forced to participate. It was the first time that Zhuo Xuan had really carried out such a large-scale task.

"You don't have to take the initiative to do anything," Zhou Xueqiu's answer surprised Zhuo Xuan, "We are the 'Chosen One', and beasts are born with the ability to perceive the Chosen One. In their eyes, we are more delicious than ordinary humans, and rest assured that they will come back to you. ”

The Chosen One......

More delicious than the average human......

Zhuo Xuan shuddered unconsciously.

It wasn't until Zhou Xueqiu had already walked out of the student president's office and was about to go back to the dormitory to sleep that Zhuo Xuan was shocked to realize that he was the only one left in the whole room.

The Chosen One, perhaps more appropriately called the "God-cursed."

They are like specially selected high-quality feed, shining in the darkness and attracting the hunt of beasts.

"The Chosen One, what the hell is going on......"

Zhuo Xuan muttered, his eyes filled with confusion.

Chen Xiaoyong had a very bad dream last night.

In his dream, he resees his grandmother, who has been dead for many years. The old man who had raised him, always dressed modestly, stood in front of a mud house in the countryside and waited for his return. When she saw him, her grandmother showed a kind look on her face, and as he expected, she pulled him into the house and made him the best pork and green onion stuffed dumplings.

The dream went on so far, and it was still peaceful. Chen Xiaoyong had forgotten everything he had experienced as the Chosen One, and he followed his grandmother into the dimly lit mud house, and saw the peeling wall ash on the walls, and the old light bulbs with a dark yellow halo hanging from the ceiling, and his heart was sour for no reason.

"Grandma, I was wrong, I was ignorant before," Chen Xiaoyong looked at the old man who had been smiling, and some tears oozed from his eyes, "I should have listened to you all the time, and let you enjoy it as soon as possible!" ”

This is something he regretted until he became the Chosen One.

The boy who dropped out of school early and wandered the streets, after the death of his beloved grandmother, seemed to grow up overnight, ending the rebellious period that had not yet begun to flourish.

He began to work hard and follow his boss to start a business, but after his career just improved, he was entangled by the black watch that brought him nightmares and became an inexplicable "Chosen One".

Just like the choice question he made on the road of life, he followed the right person, and with the wisdom of others, Chen Xiaoyong was lucky to survive the task of containing the beast.

However, this time, he knew that the god of luck would not favor him anymore.

The senior Chosen One, who had sworn to kill Xu Shilin, suddenly burst into countless blood vessels on his body just after midnight.

In the veins that had become transparent and tough through the skin, the purple-black blood flowing began to surge in an instant, and the sting pain from the huge pressure on his body made him scream wildly, but at that moment, the other Chosen ones only dared to avoid it, and did not dare to approach.

Then, his body burst like an over-inflated balloon, and his black watch dispersed like smoke, leaving behind only the foul-smelling flesh that recounted the horrific scene that had happened minutes earlier.

Chen Xiaoyong's eyes widened, he knew that he could survive this time, maybe it was because of someone's blessing.

The Chosen One hidden in the team sensed the traps and survival of the previous mission, but only notified a few people, and the purpose was naturally to establish a team that was completely obedient to his own orders.

Chen Xiaoyong, who has been on the streets since he was a child, has no shortage of skills to see the wind and steer, which is why he survived.

When my mind heard this, the bowl was empty. Chen Xiaoyong patted his belly, and the tears in his eyes were also because of the heat of this bowl. The dumplings evaporated, and he said, "Grandma, I've eaten well." ”

"Also, don't choke, eat slowly." Grandma brought out another bowl of dumplings like a trick.

"I'm full," Chen Xiaoyong shook his head, although he didn't want to see his grandmother's disappointed face, but he really didn't have a bowl full of left, and the full stomach bag couldn't let him fit more.

"No way!" The old man's face suddenly became gloomy, "You have to eat!" ”

"I really can't eat ......" In the dream, Chen Xiaoyong suddenly noticed that something was wrong, he wanted to leave his seat, but his arm was suddenly grabbed by a hand that was wrinkled like tree bark.

Chen Xiaoyong wanted to break free, but he tried several times, and with the strength of an adult man, he was defeated by an old man with a rickety body and a seemingly weak body.

"Grandma!"

Chen Xiaoyong screamed in horror.

In the dream, the chaotic consciousness seemed to be slowly waking up, and it was at this time that he suddenly remembered that his grandmother had died as early as his youth!

The discovery made him tremble like chaff, and he struggled frantically, but the hand that had grasped him turned pale like a ghost's claw. Chen Xiaoyong looked at the pale and withered hand, and the face of the old man in his memory suddenly turned hideous, turning into the appearance of a dead man when he was buried.

"Ahh

Chen Xiaoyong was extremely frightened, his heart fell deep as if he had fallen off a cliff, and he kicked his feet, but he woke up from his dream.

Bed from the hostel. Getting up, Chen Xiaoyong's eyes widened, he was covered in a cold sweat, and he saw a bright light outside the window, and he was a little relieved.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

A dull knock on the door startled Chen Xiaoyong, who was deep in thought, and his heart lifted again, tiptoed close to the door, and looked towards the cat's eye.
