Chapter 34 has serious consequences
This person's words made the soles of my feet swish and a chill rose to the bone, similar words, I have heard Lao Wang and Zhang Momo say it. But when they say these things, they are talking about themselves, but this person is talking about me.
"People are going to die, ten years is death, a hundred years is also death, and when they die, they will become a handful of ashes, is there any difference?" I didn't want the other party to see my mood swings, because in the deepest part of my heart, I was still wary of him, and there were prejudices, so I deliberately said lightly: "There is no difference." ”
"There is a difference." This person didn't seem to be stupid at this moment, and said very seriously: "Everyone will die, but it depends on whether the death is worthwhile." No one can predict the future, however, I know how you died. ”
As he spoke, the man bent down lightly and lifted up his trouser legs. He was wearing a pair of mud-stained sneakers with no socks underneath, and when he exposed his ankles, I saw that his ankles looked like a bag of soil, specially used to grow mushrooms, and they were attached to their ankles, with a circle of fine tan hairs.
I don't know why, but when I saw his ankle, I suddenly felt that my right foot, which had recovered from an injury, was suddenly very uncomfortable.
"In the far, far northwest desert, you can occasionally encounter a very strange bug, this bug has no name, I named it, the devil bug." The man lifted the leg of his trousers and said, "This worm suddenly looks like a mass of shaggy tan hair, and if it bites, the wound will swell for a long time. When the wound swells down, the injured person may feel that it is okay, but on the contrary, it actually means that the venom of the demon worm has been completely integrated into every blood vessel, and no modern medical equipment or medicine can dissolve this toxin. ”
I don't remember exactly, but this was the first time I've felt dizzy tonight. The bugs this man is talking about are exactly the same as the clumps of fluffy stuff I encountered in the Danmeng Basin, and even the symptoms of being bitten by bugs are generally the same.
Before I knew it, my right foot was even more uncomfortable.
"The reason why I call this insect demon worm is because it bites you, but it doesn't let you die happily, but keeps torturing you slowly." The man sighed softly and lowered his trouser legs: "In the end, you will be worse off than dead." ”
"You mean, the poison of this bug can't be dissolved?"
"I don't know, maybe, there will be, I was bitten somewhere, I can only go there to find a solution."
I was speechless because I didn't know what to say. For the time being, I couldn't tell whether the person in front of me who made me wary or even murderous was telling the truth.
I didn't speak, he didn't speak, and the two of us looked at each other three meters apart. Just when I looked at each other, I suddenly found that there was also a trace of suppressed and hidden killing intent in the eyes of this person looking at me.
I understand that from my standpoint, when I meet someone who is exactly like me, my first concern is whether this person will have evil intentions and take my place and take my place. For example, he can secretly follow me, find out the rules of my life, and then kill me, and when I die, everything I leave behind will belong to him. No one will pursue my death, no one will find out, Lian Chengfeng is dead, because another "Lian Chengfeng" has unknowingly replaced me.
In the same way, when this person sees me, he will also worry, worry that I will take his place and take possession of everything from him.
This kind of worry and anxiety can only be solved by eliminating the other party.
However, the killing intent in his eyes quickly disappeared, and the look in his eyes would not deceive.
"Do you know why I'm called 5?" He lowered his head, pulled out another crumpled cigarette, and held it in his mouth.
"I don't know."
"Because ......" he slowly raised his head with a cigarette, and when he looked up, I found that his eyes were filled with a layer of water vapor: "Because 5 is ahead, there is 4, 4 is ahead, there is 3, 3 is ahead, there is 2, 2 is ahead, there is 1 ......"
"What are you talking about?" I immediately understood what he meant, and he used 54321 to tell me that there was more than one person like him.
That is, there is more than one person like me.
"12345...... I don't know if there will be 6, and I don't want to know anymore." The man lit the cigarette in his mouth, and suddenly began to laugh again, this smile, it seemed that all the consciousness that had been temporarily awake before was gone, and the smile was so eerie and so terrifying.
Swish!!!
He found a small but very sharp knife out of nowhere, and I was always on guard against him, and when I saw the knife, I involuntarily took two steps back, and the person behind me immediately reacted.
However, the man was still standing there with the knife in his hand, and he slowly raised the knife in his hand with a cigarette in his mouth, and at once cut off his left ear.
Cutting off an ear when a person has not lost all consciousness is a very painful and unbearable thing. The man obviously felt the pain, but he was still laughing, and the cold sweat on his forehead slid down his cheeks one by one.
He held a cigarette in one hand and a bloody ear with the other, and actually shoved the ear into his mouth. He was chewing so hard that I could even hear the squeaking of the cartilage tissue in my ears as it was chewed.
I'm sure that people with slightly worse psychological quality will definitely vomit when they see this scene.
This person's actions moved everyone present, at this time, I felt that the other party was crazy, it must be crazy, a normal person would not be able to do such a thing no matter what.
The man chewed one ear like this, and swallowed it. It's hard for me to imagine what it's like to eat my own ears.
"My death is worthless, but I hope you are not." The man threw the cigarette on the ground and stomped on it with his foot: "Someone will collect the body for me." ”
Before I could reply, he rolled over and jumped from the edge of the ravine. The ravine on the western slope was not as deep as the surface rift zone in the Danmeng Basin, but the steep slope of the seventy degrees slope was full of stones, and after the man had jumped, I hurried up to him and looked down.
I could see his body stumbling down the steep slope, in which case the average person would die before he could reach the end.
Yes, I wanted to kill him, but I didn't want him to die, at least for the time being, and I felt like there were still a lot of questions left unanswered.
But now no one can save him, and even if we go down to the bottom of the ditch, all we find is a bloody corpse that has been fallen.
I felt dizzy once, and the two people in the back quickly pulled me back. I picked up the cigarette butt that the man had dropped in my hand, and the filter of the cigarette butt was full of tooth marks and had been bitten flat.
Someone said a few words in Zhang Momo's ear, Zhang Momo walked up to me and persuaded me to go back first, she said, like this situation, that person can't be doing things alone, there must be a relatively large force behind him.
Zhang Momo made arrangements and left two people to hide here to see who would collect the corpse in the end.
On the way back, I was distraught, and I was terrified by the mycelium-like brown hairs that grew on the man's ankles, and the stories about demon bugs.
I don't doubt the man's account, and now that I think about it, when I came across that hairy hair-like thing, I did feel as if my feet and necks had been gnawed, painful and itchy.
"You don't have to believe all the things that are spread by falsehood, you have to believe in modern medicine."
"After we came back from Danmeng, I went to the hospital for a check-up and a re-examination, but nothing came out." I was still worried, for I had a premonition that the demon worm that the man was talking about was beyond the reach of modern medicine.
I called Hu Ritu, who remembered me and contacted him when I returned to the mainland, saying that he was very happy. I exchanged a few words with him, then described the physical characteristics of the demon bug to him, and asked him if he knew the bug. Hu Ritu spoke Chinese well and understood well, and soon understood what I meant.
"I don't dare to say that this is necessarily true, but according to what you said, I should have heard someone say it."
Hu Ritu has been living there for a long time and has heard many rumors, and in some areas near Baklang, there are rumors about this bug. However, there are almost no people who have seen this kind of bug with their own eyes, and it is all hearsay.
This insect is rumored to be the most fragile insect in the world, and it is said to be ox X because it can swallow anything, and if all the animals and plants in the desert disappear, then this insect can eat even sand and stones. It is said to be fragile because it is extremely sensitive to changes in temperature and humidity, and even slight fluctuations in temperature and humidity can cause them to die in batches.
Hu Ritu heard other rumors that were more evil, saying that this kind of insect was transformed by the souls of people who died of thirst in the desert, and that those who were bitten by it would become evil spirits.
I was in a bit of a trance, and the rumors that Hu Ritu heard were different from what the man said, but they all showed that after being bitten by this kind of bug, there would be terrible consequences.
When I left Danmeng at that time, I still felt that I had escaped death, and Lao Wang and Zhang Momo were also very paradoxically "alive", which was a good thing anyway, so I didn't take the injury on my foot seriously. I never imagined that being bitten by that kind of bug would have such a serious end.
