Chapter 54: The Ghost
"Good explanation," Zhou Xueqiu nodded, "Smart people don't want to be in the company of fools, but people who think they are smart won't live long." ”
Zhou Xueqiu obviously meant something. It's just that before his words fell, Han Jiangfeng's face changed suddenly!
Han Jiangfeng's body quickly retreated, and the right hand that he was hiding behind him was revealed, and a small silver-white old-fashioned camera appeared in his hand!
It's a trick!
An extremely nervous look appeared on Han Jiangfeng's face, and he quickly put the point-and-shoot camera in front of his face, and his pupils reflected Zhou Xueqiu's body through the camera, getting closer and closer, closer and closer!
At the moment when Han Jiangfeng was about to press the shutter, there was a sudden sharp pain in his hand from a blunt object!
"Ahh
Zhou Xueqiu threw out a whip leg and kicked the camera away from Han Jiangfeng's hand, causing the latter to let out a scream in severe pain.
In the blink of an eye, this trick fell into Zhou Xueqiu's hands.
"How do you use this thing?" Zhou Xueqiu's face still had a smile on his face, "Forget it, I'll try it." ”
Pressing the shutter, the expression on Han Jiangfeng's face seemed to freeze, and the words of begging for mercy and threatening words that he had already thought of were not said one by one, and his body seemed to be imprinted in a photo, frozen to death.
"I see."
Zhou Xueqiu put away the camera in his hand, and under the gaze of the other party's frightened gaze, he slowly crouched beside the stiff body that seemed to be pointed: "Your watch, I'm not welcome." ”
After that, Zhou Xueqiu untied the black watch on Han Jiangfeng's right hand. He watched as the other party's face turned purple little by little, his lips turned white, and finally he squirmed frantically like countless leeches under his skin, looking hideous.
He took a few steps back, and watched with an indifferent face as Han Jiangfeng's body popped like a flatulent balloon, the blood mist mixed with flesh and blood polluted a radius of several meters, and Sen Sen's white bones seemed to have been melted by strong acid and disappeared without a trace.
From beginning to end, Zhou Xueqiu has always maintained an indifferent appearance.
I don't know how many times I've done this since I became the Chosen One.
Memories are filled with strange flesh and bones, and they smell of cruelty.
The remnants of humanity tell him whether this is true or not, but the vicious memories make him have to go the wrong way.
Zhou Xueqiu took a deep breath of air with the smell of fresh blood, and his gaze regained firmness. He looked at the morgue where the bodies were kept, as if he were staring at his own destination, very quiet.
--
I got on the high-speed train back to Tinglin City, and it was close to the early hours of the morning after arriving at Tinglin University Town.
Zhuo Xuan didn't feel a little sleepy, and at this time he was eager to contact Zhou Xueqiu. What is worrying is that the four or five calls he made in a row were not answered. It wasn't until Zhuo Xuan returned to school that the mobile phone rang as expected, and Zhou Xueqiu's slightly tired voice came from the other end of the phone:
"Where have you been?"
Zhuo Xuan was stunned for a moment, and couldn't wait to meet Zhou Xueqiu face to face, so he quickly recounted his experience since the beginning of the day. When he finished talking about his experience, he happened to walk outside the door of the student president's office. Pushing the door in, I saw Zhou Xueqiu with blood stains on his body.
"You're hurt?"
Zhou Xueqiu shook his head and replied, "No." ”
Zhuo Xuan frowned: "Then what are you?" ”
"According to your description, I think you have encountered a 'ghost'," Zhou Xueqiu did not continue to dwell on the topic of blood stains on his body, "I think you have also heard an idiom 'for the tiger', the tiger is equivalent to 'beast', and the ghost here is naturally 'ghost'." ”
"Ghost." Zhuo Xuan unconsciously read it along, feeling extremely unfamiliar with it.
"With your experience as evidence, I think I already know what happened," Zhou Xueqiu continued, "Do you remember the first time you met Xu Shilin in the consultation room?" At that time, I'm afraid that what you met was not the real Xu Shilin, but a ghost. ”
"Neither beast nor human, but ghost?" Zhuo Xuan was amazed.
"That's right, he has been killed by the beast, and then turned into a ghost, and became the eyes and ears of the 'beast'," Zhou Xueqiu nodded, "Then I went to the morgue of the central hospital again, examined the body of the dead Xu Shilin, and saw the corroded skin on his neck......"
"Corroded skin?" Zhuo Xuan suddenly remembered the news.
When the news reported the death of the ghost Xu Shilin, the corpse hidden in several other flower beds was also reported. Those Chosen People who planned to encircle and suppress Xu Shilin did not expect that they were facing a ghost, even if they exhausted their means and exhausted their tricks, they still paid a lot of price.
"Does every beast have the ability to create ghosts?" Zhuo Xuan asked the question he was most worried about.
"No," Zhou Xueqiu denied Zhuo Xuan's speculation, "Making ghosts is also a kind of beast ability, and each beast's ability is unique, maybe a combination of multiple abilities, but it is rarely repeated. ”
A "beast" capable of creating ghosts.
Zhuo Xuan was a little confused, he suddenly remembered the question that the ghost Xu Shilin asked him at that time.
"Is it true that as long as your parents come back alive, you will see hope again?"
Perhaps, in the eyes of the other party, despair is a disease.
At that time, Zhuo Xuan gave a positive answer.
But now, he is back in a state of confusion.
"Don't worry," Zhou Xueqiu said some rare words of comfort, "As long as you figure out the beast's ability, then its weakness will be revealed." With your wisdom, you may be able to find your way out faster than I do. ”
Zhuo Xuan smiled bitterly and nodded, but said in his heart that he was not really worried about this.
"Now, we should unify our views," Zhou Xueqiu said slowly, "Xu Shilin was killed by the beast. The ghost he conjured into had the power to corrupt others. The cause of death was ......"
"No, I still have a question," Zhuo Xuan suddenly interrupted Zhou Xueqiu's words, "This ghost has the ability to corrode, and the ghost that Zhao Yusen turned into has the ability to disguise...... Does it mean that this beast is a combination of these abilities? If it is Xu Shilin killed by the beast, then before the mission begins, all his social relations will be erased by the rules. ”
Zhou Xueqiu was stunned for a moment, and then realized his mistake: "That's right, you're right, it's me who didn't think it through." ”
As Zhuo Xuan knew.
All news about the "beast" will be wiped out before the mission officially begins.
That's the power of rules.
If Xu Shilin was killed by the beast, then what appeared in front of them before would no longer be "Xu Shilin" itself, but another substitute, or would no longer exist at all.
Zhou Xueqiu's mistake almost caused them to fall into a place of no return at the same time.
