Chapter 146: Answer
Zhou Xueqiu opened his mouth gently.
In the darkness, she seemed to see his wry smile.
"Are you looking for it?"
Staring at the stiff and silent "Li Xue", Zhou Xueqiu stepped down the steps step by step. He always had a grim smile on his face, and his sharp eyes were like a knife peeling off the "woman" in front of him.
"I don't know what you mean...... The beast is coming," Li Xue hesitated, her face was miserable, and she said in a crying voice, "They were all eaten by the beast......"
"Did you mean to be eaten?"
"It's a beast!"
"Li Xue"'s voice was a little hysterical, full of anger and killing intent, but there was no fear. As a result, what she had insisted on and believed in her mouth suddenly became weak and pale.
"Aren't you a beast?" Zhou Xueqiu chuckled, he continued, and at the same time pinched one corner of the phone with two fingers, held it, and dangled it in front of Li Xue, "Actually, I was ready to be killed, but you didn't do it, but used this clumsy performance to test it." It seems that my guess is not wrong...... You can only attack if the other person doesn't know your identity, otherwise, you'll be restricted. So, what's limiting you? Is it the rule? ”
"How would you know." "Li Xue's" face was gloomy and did not answer the question he asked. Her skin peeled off little by little as she spoke, revealing black and red marks that had been burned and corroded.
Flesh and bone grew together, and its body slowly grew larger; The huge tumor-like head approached, as if threatening Zhou Xueqiu to say the answer it wanted to know.
"I always remember that from the beginning to the present, we received a total of three messages. Each message conveys much the same content, with only the background behind it. It's like a hint...... No, it means that our beast is lurking around us. But the fools refused to go their separate ways. So, I had to find a way to leave on my own, without arousing suspicion," Zhou Xueqiu squeezed the phone in his hand, his face was expressionless, and he was calm, "After I left, in the last photo I received, the background was in the village, not in the mountains and forests. This is enough to illustrate the problem - among us the Chosen One, there is a 'beast' in disguise. ”
"Or, it's not a disguise, it's been a beast from the beginning. The so-called replacement is just my guess," Zhou Xueqiu chuckled, "As for determining who the beast is, this matter is not too obvious, only you have disappeared once, and you have appeared intact, you are guarding against me, and I am also suspicious of you." ”
The beast did not utter any more words, but opened its mouth wide and let out a threatening, unwilling roar; The wind with a salty smell swept in and blew past Zhou Xueqiu's side.
Zhou Xueqiu's heart breathed a sigh of relief, but the look on his face did not change from beginning to end. He was also a gambler, risking his life to win a game.
"Actually, there are still two things that make me wonder. The first thing is about the strange talk that circulated in the village," Zhou Xueqiu's eyes burned, and he said to himself, "The legend in the village that is old is quite strange. After listening to the old man in the village, I rushed straight to the direction of the mountain. At that time, I was thinking, there is a shuttle bus from Tinglin City to Wawu Mountain every day, if it is true, why can it still be covered up? ”
"Just as I guessed. The old man was the one who created this strange story, and he killed many who knew about it, and the young men fled from it for fear of bad luck befalling them. The old people, who no longer cared about life and death, remained, and no longer posed a threat. Whether that strange talk is true or not, or just the imagination of the old man, has nothing to do with your appearance. Zhou Xueqiu clenched his phone, "I have never believed in ghosts and gods, and I have never believed that human souls can become beasts for revenge." A beast is a beast, and has nothing to do with man. The beast never cared about the wishes of the ants, but it would certainly defend its interests......"
Zhou Xueqiu's words changed and paused for a moment.
He knew that if he broke the phone in his hand, the beast would be harmed, and he would be able to contain it. But he didn't do it immediately, but slowly said, "Let's make a deal." I ask you something, you answer me, and I'll give it to you......"
"What did you say?"
In front of Zhou Xueqiu, the huge, weird smell of his body brought him tremendous pressure, making it a little difficult for him to breathe. However, when the voice of the answer penetrated into Zhou Xueqiu's ears, he clearly read a mood of anticipation from it.
"That's it, yes or no. I'm going to start asking," Zhou Xueqiu chuckled, "First question, why did you become torn apart-"
His voice stopped abruptly, as if there was an inexplicable force restraining him, and the same beast that was ready to answer.
A terrifying, painful howl came from the mouth of the huge monster, and it writhed its body wildly, and Zhou Xueqiu felt that the whole mountain seemed to tremble because of it.
Black flames were born from the beast's body and devoured its shell. The burning pain tormented its soul, turning its body to ashes little by little.
"Hey—answer me!"
Zhou Xueqiu stared at the huge monster and asked hysterically and frantically.
However, the beast seemed to lose its ability to speak, it could no longer speak, and it stopped howling.
Zhou Xueqiu raised his head and stared at this huge figure in a daze, feeling the gaze of an almost sad gaze.
In the end, what the hell is going on!
Triggered a taboo, so it was obliterated by the rules?
Even beasts are toys under the rules, so why should the Chosen One break away from the imprisoned ones who have been given!
Zhou Xueqiu was dazed, suppressed it several times, and pressed the urge to take off the black watch.
Above the beast's body, a blood-red light suddenly lit up.
It was first a dot, and then in the blink of an eye, it bloomed into a line, like a beacon guiding the direction in the dark night, blazing, scorching, enveloping and swallowing the body of the beast, and slowly disappearing with the black ghostly fire.
Without pressing the buttons, this is the consciousness of the black watch acting on its own.
Could it be that the thing in the hand is a living thing?
Zhou Xueqiu was shocked by his conjecture, he gasped and snuffed out those absurd thoughts. He looked back at the hut, and at this moment, the sky seemed to glow with a grayish-white light.
"Terminal 9551 has completed its containment mission, and the harvest is being counted."
"Acquire the Trick: Stump."
"Stump Limbs: Gather all the limbs to assemble an immortal demon god. The myth that has been circulating since ancient times has no evidence, and now it will finally come true. Solidified in the limbs of the Chosen One, the limbs gain the ability to be reborn, and as long as the torso is not destroyed, the severed limbs can be reborn. In addition, there is a price to pay for enjoying at the same time. ”
Now, it's all over.
It's just that how do you leave......
