Chapter 2: The Assassin
"A lot of trouble? You are wrong, everything I did was worth it. The infant was beaming, as if he had done something great.
Chen Du couldn't listen anymore, because he felt a stirring force surging in his body, and it began to tear apart his soul form.
Chen Du knew that he was going to be completely taken away by this infant adult.
He was very unwilling, his body was distorted, and he let out a low roar: "Bastard, don't take me away!"
No
No
Don't......"
"Hehe, Chen Du, don't struggle, go in peace, I will inherit your soul from now on, you ...... Ah......h
The infant spoke triumphantly again, but before he finished speaking, he suddenly screamed, and his momentum quickly declined.
Chen Du, who was cornered, found that the last seizure had unexpectedly stopped, and when he calmed down, he saw two ancient people in black brocade floating in front of him, each holding a long sword with a cold light and shining in his hand, and pierced his chest.
These two people dressed as ancients floated from the air and pierced Chen Du's body with sharp swords in time, and only after a while did they float down steadily, stopping in front of Chen Du, their faces were extremely pale, as if they had been smeared with flour, and they looked like they were from the underworld.
Of course, it was not Chen Du who they assassinated, but the infant adult lurking in Chen Du's body.
"Baby, you also want to be reborn and dream of your Spring and Autumn Festival!"
"That's it, don't look at the current Netherworld Mansion and your place!"
These two ancient people in black with pink faces seemed to be extremely professional, and the two swords stabbed into it were to kill the infant adult, Chen Du felt that the latent pressure in his body disappeared, and the words in their mouths allowed Chen Du to obtain a little information, this infant adult was from the underworld, and it seemed that he was still a big man.
The two men in black then drew their long swords from Chen Du's chest, and he fell to the ground weakly, his consciousness so weak that he almost collapsed, it seemed that the previous seizure had caused him a lot of trauma.
After these two people killed the infant adult, they didn't care about Chen Du, for them, Chen Du's life and death had nothing to do with them, and in their opinion, a human soul was taken away to such an extent, even if the person who took it died, he could not live, and his soul should be scattered later.
In this way, they flew into the brightly lit night sky of Xuancheng, and soon disappeared into the night.
……
……
However, Chen Du fell to the ground, but his soul gradually became solidified, and the vitality that had been taken away came back little by little.
He did not die, but gradually recovered, and his soul became the same as when he first died.
If this was seen by the two black-clothed brocade men, it would definitely be a difficult thing to understand, but the fact was that Chen Du was not soulless, even though Chen Du almost thought that he was going to die completely after he fell to the ground.
He climbed up and found that the little female ghost in the red cotton jacket was gone, probably running away before the two assassins arrived.
As for the baby, there was no trace of him completely, otherwise he would not have returned to his normal form.
"If you don't die, I don't know if there will be a blessing." Chen Du sighed inexplicably, the first time he was a ghost, he didn't know what would happen later.
When Chen Du muttered to himself, a "hee-hee" suddenly came from among the flowers next to him, and then the little female ghost in the red cotton jacket came out and spit out her long tongue at him.
Her tongue stretched out like a noodle, tumbling and stirring in front of Chen Du, with a sense of terror.
Chen Du was furious, it was this little female ghost who killed him, and now he was still making this kind of tongue sticking out in front of him, which was not cute at all, he was really angry.
"Little bastard, I won't let you go!"
Chen Du pounced, the little female ghost in the red cotton jacket retracted her tongue, and fled forward with small steps, don't look at her young age, but she escaped very quickly and flexibly.
Chen Du chased her and ran through the streets and alleys of Xuancheng, but finally got lost and came to a deserted place.
This is the outskirts of Xuancheng, Chen Dusheng has been here, but there is no particularly detailed memory.
There is a big river passing here, dozens of meters wide, called Muxi River, is a very famous river on the periphery of Xuancheng, there was a wharf in the early years, now it has declined, and there is no trace of wharf cargo ships.
Chen Du walked up the river embankment, because it was in this direction that the little girl in the red cotton jacket of five or six years old disappeared.
As he walked, Chen Du suddenly heard an old man's voice from a place next to him, and there were some vague words in front of him, and finally he heard a sentence clearly: "The talisman of the Hades, all evils retreat!" ”
With a bang, it seemed that a piece of rune paper was burning, and the mana of the rune paper was swinging out and passed in front of Chen Du.
Chen Du didn't understand why he knew that this was mana, in short, he was inexplicably attracted, and his steps unconsciously stepped over.
He walked through a field of reeds and saw an open space opposite, where an old man dressed in Taoist robes and holding a peachwood sword was doing it.
In front of him were candles lit, some tributes and talismans were placed, and next to him was a little boy who looked to be about ten years old.
The old man was probably close to seventy years old, and the way he wielded a mahogany sword gave the impression of a charlatan.
In fact, he was a charlatan, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to find Chen Du's soul standing near him, but the rune papers he got from elsewhere were genuine.
"Grandpa, grandpa, if you do this, can my sister's cold be cured?" The little boy next to him looked at it for a long time and suddenly asked.
The old man continued to pretend to wield the peachwood sword, and said, "Grandson, this is not nonsense, you must be good, grandpa's mana is high!" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly fell down with a thud and sat on the ground with a lot of dirt.
The little boy next to him immediately clapped his hands happily and cheered: "Hahahahaha, grandpa is so useless, he can fall himself down!" ”
The old man made a fool of himself in front of his grandson, his old face turned red, and he said angrily: "Grandson, what do you know, a ghost grabbed grandpa's leg just now, so I fell!" ”
He said this just to make excuses for himself and fool his grandson, but Chen Du next to him knew that he was indeed caught by a ghost, but he couldn't see it and couldn't find it.
Sure enough, at the old man's side, a cloud of black gas appeared, and soon condensed into a small ghost, he was only about one meter four, his body was bloated, his face was ugly, and even his complexion was dirty.
His dark thick lips moved, and he made a disdainful voice: "Dead old man, let you pretend to be here, I have long seen that you are unhappy!" ”
Chen Du felt that this short and ugly ghost was very old, and wanted to go to him and ask him some common sense questions about the ghost, such as what to do in his current situation.
But this short and ugly ghost suddenly looked up at the night sky in the distance, and said a little uneasily: "Oops, those Yin soldiers and ghosts are chasing after them again!" After saying that, he turned into a cloud of black gas and fled underground, nowhere to be found.
Chen Du originally wanted to go to the Netherworld, but after the incident of the infant adult, he became much more cautious and did not dare to be discovered by the Yin soldiers and ghosts.
He didn't know if this infant had any subordinates in the underworld, if his subordinates found out, whether he would be in danger, and if the two black brocade robes who assassinated the infant found out that he was still alive, would he kill himself, he knew very well that he was almost dead at that time, so the two did not kill him.
Of course, it may be that they don't care about being killed by the outside world knowing that the infant was killed by them, but these Chen Du can't be sure, for him now, there is only this last time left in his life, and he must be cautious.
So he ran cautiously, and a large black shadow appeared in the distance behind him, and as the black shadow approached, it could be seen that it was a group of Yin soldiers with pale and serious faces, wearing black armor and holding black spears.
