Chapter 10: The Truth
After listening to Sydney's narration, especially Yang Mengqing's symptoms before the abnormal change, my whole person was suddenly struck by lightning, and I remembered that Yang Mengqing also had similar changes when he was in Fengyang Town, his body temperature was extremely high, his skin became blood-red, and then he lost his mind and became a bloodthirsty and murderous demon.
When we were captured by the townspeople for the blood sacrifice, Yang Mengqing lost control once, and after killing a lot of people, he was restrained by the dark wizard Bagan with a magic weapon, and then we separated.
After Fengyang's matter was over, Yang Mengqing never had that kind of demonized mutation again, and this matter was left behind by us, but I didn't expect that after such a long time, Yang Mengqing began to have that kind of terrible mutation again, and compared to the beginning, this mutation seems to have escalated.
Yang Mengqing's mutation made me feel uneasy at the same time, but also a little guilty, since we left Aji Village and returned to Chengdu, I have not paid attention to her situation, although I have been running around for the curse on my body for this period of time, but every time I return to Chengdu, I don't think to go to see her, even if it is a phone call to say hello, which is a little too cruel for a girl who has lost all her relatives.
No, I have to find Yang Mengqing, whether it's for her, or all the innocent teachers and students in this school, I have to find her, but I have seen with my own eyes how terrible Yang Mengqing is after getting out of control, the townspeople she killed at the beginning were all extremely evil people, and there were innocent people who died, but now it is different, if she escapes from here, I can't imagine how many innocent people in L University will die tragically at her hands.
Thinking of this, I immediately stopped and turned to leave.
"Wait, where are you going?" Seeing that I was leaving, Sydney hurriedly asked.
"I'm going to find Mengqing, she's in danger now, I have to find her, I can't let her leave here!"
After listening to my words, Sydney's face changed, and there was a look of surprise on her face, but she quickly made a decision, gritted her teeth, and said to me: "Okay, Sister Mengqing became like this because of me, I can't leave her, I'll go with you." ”
Sydney's expression was resolute, I didn't want to say anything more, and this place is so weird, it's always good to have a companion, so I asked her to follow me closely, don't fall behind.
We have checked in Area A, and there is no trace of Yang Mengqing, but there is an extra bloody palm print on the door of the corridor leading to the administrative building in Area A, I compared the size of the palm print, and determined that it was left by Yang Mengqing, so I immediately chased it.
It is not like there is candle lighting in Area A, and it is still dark in the administrative building, so I turned on the mobile phone light and took a picture in the four corners to see if there were any traces left by Yang Mengqing in the hall.
The faint divergence of light illuminates a very limited range, and when I found it, I really found a string of bloody footprints. I was suddenly happy in my heart, I remember very clearly, when I passed by the hall of the administrative building just now, there were no footprints on the ground, and this series of footprints must have been left by Yang Mengqing, because there were also many blood stains near the pit where she fell from the building.
Before I could think about it, I hurriedly followed the footprints on the ground, and found that the footprints had been extending into the depths of the hall, and I immediately wanted to catch up, but at this moment, Sydney's hand grabbed me.
Xu was frightened too much, her hands were very cold, I turned my head to look at her with some confusion, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Sydney's expression was a little nervous, she pointed to the bloody footprints on the ground, and whispered: "Brother reporter, it seems that something is wrong!" ”
"No, what's wrong?" I thought she was scared and wanted to retreat, and I was a little unhappy.
Sydney still looked nervous and said to me: "Brother reporter, didn't you notice, the footprints on the ground, one of them has no thumb, I remember very clearly, Sister Mengqing is not missing a finger!" ”
I'm also too worried about Yang Mengqing, a little too anxious, now listening to Sydney, I immediately calmed down, and soon found out that something was wrong, except for the lack of a thumb, this footprint is not like a girl, although Yang Mengqing's body has changed, but it is limited to the torso of the body, and the footprints in front of us are obviously more than one size, even bigger than mine, it can never be Yang Mengqing's.
The most bizarre thing is that this series of footprints did not start from the entrance of the Yongdao in Area A, but extended from the direction of the gate, which also confirmed that the footprints on the ground could never have been left by Yang Mengqing.
But if it wasn't left by Yang Mengqing, who would have left it? I remembered that I had been near the gate before, and I thought to myself, could it be that I accidentally stepped on the blood stains on the ground at that time, and these footprints were left by me?
As soon as this thought arose, I immediately dismissed it, the footprints on the ground were very coherent, and I had not been to the depths of the hall at that time, these footprints must not be mine, could it be... During the time I was in Zone A, someone opened the door and came in from the outside?
Could it be the doctor, who rushed over immediately after seeing my text message? Or the public safety experts on patrol, after all, I knocked over the ladder frame outside when I entered the β area, and the movement was not small, maybe they heard the movement and tracked it down......
For a moment, countless thoughts flashed through my mind, and I was a little unsure, so I pulled up Sydney and slowly touched the blood in the direction of the gate.
When I was about five meters away from the gate, I suddenly had a strange feeling in my heart, as if something was wrong, but I couldn't grasp the source of this feeling at once, until I moved closer again, I was stunned for a moment, and suddenly I figured out where the source of that strange feeling was, I went to your grandfather's, the headless corpse on the door was gone.
My cold sweat was like a waterfall, and at first I thought I had missed it, maybe the headless corpse had just fallen, and I couldn't see it clearly. But when I used my mobile phone light to illuminate all the areas in front of the door, I was finally sure that I didn't miss it, and the corpse was indeed gone.
And the source of that set of footprints was the puddle of blood on the ground, damn it, could that corpse survive?
Just as I was thinking about the disappearance of the corpse, a scream suddenly came from behind me, my eyelids jumped, and I hurriedly turned around, and found that Sydney's shoulders were resting on a pair of black and purple palms, the palms were stretched flat, and the tips of the five fingers each had green nails more than two inches long, which were clearly zombie nails! Small composition
My heart was cold, and I saw that the five fingers on Sydney's shoulder were about to bend and close, but Sydney screamed, I hurriedly grabbed her hands and pulled them forward, and at the same time quickly kicked between Sydney's feet.
When I was in the ancient town of Suom, I had a lot of dealings with zombies, and I knew how powerful they were, if Sydney was really a zombie behind me, it would definitely be useless to attack it with my strength alone, so I kicked at the joint of the opponent's knee.
I used all my strength to kick this kick, and when I kicked the opponent, I felt like I was kicking on a steel plate, almost breaking my foot bones, but this kick did work, as I expected, the thing behind Sydney suddenly crooked, and then one foot bent and knelt on the ground and the hand on Sydney's shoulder naturally slid down.
I took the opportunity to pull Sydney over and pulled him towards the side of the hall.
While running, I went to look at the monster that was suspected of being a zombie, because I was standing too close before, Sydney blocked my view, except for the black and purple palms with strange nails, I didn't see the other party's true face, at this time, I was shocked to find that this zombie was actually a headless corpse leaning on the door before.
Seeing this situation, I couldn't help but gasp, this is the first time I've seen a headless zombie, I can't help but sigh, it seems that it's not easy to do anything in these years, look at this big brother, the head is gone, and the corpse still has to be turned into a corpse, I just don't know what level of zombie this brother belongs to, if it's an ordinary zombie, as long as I can retrieve the apocalypse, I can barely deal with it, but if it's a zombie with condensed corpse qi and has become a sperm, then even if I am given ten artifacts, I can't do it!
Thinking about it like this, I'm a little depressed, I can tell its level from the zombie's fangs and the concentration of corpse qi, but it just so happens that this person in front of me has no head, which is a bit of a fuck.
Maybe because the zombie in front of me didn't have a head, I wasn't particularly scared. As we all know, the horror of zombies lies in their corpse poison, fangs, nails and painless bodies, the most feared of which is the fangs, without a head, it is equivalent to a lion with its teeth extracted, although it is still strong and can hurt people, but the degree of danger is not the same.
However, I soon realized how naïve I was with this idea, and the headless zombie was hit in the knee by me, and after suffering a loss, it immediately got back to its feet. From what I know about zombies, they will have a sluggish preparation when they attack, and then suddenly jump up and hurt people, so I'm ready to change positions as soon as the headless zombie has the slightest bit of preparation.
Facts have proved that practice is the only criterion for testing truth, and all inherent rigid cognition will kill people.
After the headless corpse stood up, it didn't even turn around, it flew up without warning, and under the horrified eyes of Sydney and me, it came to us in an instant, grabbed us by the neck one by one, and lifted us up.
I was horrified, and hurriedly went to break the hand around my neck, but the strength of the headless corpse was extremely great, and its five fingers were as tightly pressed together as steel bars, and there was no gap at all, I struggled for a while, and gradually began to feel suffocated.
In a panic, I felt the curse on my arm start to stir again, and I had the feeling I had when I cried at night and devoured the mysterious ghost.
I was taken aback, but there was no time to care, and the strange hunger grew stronger and more uncontrollable, and then I saw an extremely strange scene.
Countless black threads intertwined and emerged through my arms, forming a black vine in midair.
The black vines seemed to be alive, spreading rapidly along my arm, and even wrapped around the headless corpse's hand that grabbed my throat, and then, the headless corpse began to tremble violently, and I could clearly see that the vines were pumping black gas from the headless corpse at a speed visible to the naked eye, just as the black threads had swallowed the mysterious ghost.
If this continues, it won't be long before the headless corpse will end up like a mysterious ghost.
This was a good thing for me, but I felt a strong sense of uneasiness in my heart, and I had a vague feeling that if I allowed the headless corpse to swallow the ghost, my body might have problems again.
The feeling of uneasiness became stronger and stronger, and I began to panic, and I had the heart to stop it, but those black lines were completely out of my control, and just when I was anxious in my heart, I suddenly remembered the conversation between my third uncle and me before parting.
At that time, the third uncle said that the reason why the curse in my body stopped was because Yang Lao Dao's transmission made me successfully enlighten my soul and learn to control the innate Yuan Qi in my body, coupled with the blessing of the Apocalypse, Yuan Qi and Eyuan were equal, so there was no problem.
If that's the case, does that mean I can use Yuan Qi to suppress the curse and force it to stop?
The thought flashed by, and there was no other way at this time, I could only calm down and try to control the innate Yuan Qi at the dantian.
However, it didn't take long for me to start breaking out in a cold sweat, my previous Qi method could only work when the Apocalypse was in my hand, and now the Apocalypse was not in my hand, and I didn't know how to control the Yuan Qi Regiment in my body at all.
This is over, seeing that the black-lined vines in mid-air are getting stronger and stronger, I know that if I can't stop it from continuing to devour the headless corpse, maybe the next person to be devoured will be me, so I quickly forced myself to calm down, recalling the feeling of the first few times I was doing Qi, and slowly, I seemed to have figured out some tricks, and I watched those sword mark images in my mind, and then I really found the feeling of resonance between the energy of heaven and earth and my body.
At the peak of this resonance, I almost instinctively shouted out from the depths of my heart a single word: cracked ......
This is what I learned from the old turtle, of course, I don't understand the method in this, so this word roared out, and it didn't have the effect of time and space freeze that the old turtle had made, but it may be that this nine-character mantra itself contains infinite power, coupled with the resonance generated by my use of Yuan Qi and the surrounding heaven and earth energy, this word was shouted, and the black line vines that were frantically devouring the headless corpse qi immediately twisted and rolled back, submerged into my arm and disappeared.
At the same time, the headless corpse was affected by the split word, letting go of us and stumbling back.
I saw the right time, picked up Sydney, who was limp on the ground, and rushed into the door to β without looking back.
