Chapter 80: The Moment of Truth
However, now the number I faced had unconsciously reached about ten, and I could only temporarily suppress two or three ghosts by bombarding and driving away, but at this time, the guys in the back would rush up and pounce on my face like crazy.
I really can't handle this kind of wheel war. As the countdown in my mind gradually approached its limit, I felt as if I had seen the end of my life - I was actually bitten to death by a group of ghosts, and I couldn't even leave a whole corpse, which was really miserable.
But...... I feel very happy, although I regret it, but I don't regret it at all. After all, it wasn't for nothing that I died, and I managed to save someone I wanted to save.
Just when I wanted to confirm Li Xiao's life and death, and looked at Li Xiao at the last moment, my pupils suddenly contracted for a moment - Li Xiao didn't notice that behind her, a thin figure was holding the kitchen knife in his hand high, ready to stab her.
Li Xiao——!! Come on!! ”
I tried my best to raise my body and roar madly at Li Xiao, and she seemed to hear my call, trembled slightly, and subconsciously looked back, and found a thin figure behind her, holding a kitchen knife, Li Xiao's face instantly turned pale.
This guy ...... It's actually Wang Dongcheng!
I didn't care about the countdown in my mind, and struggled desperately to save Li Xiao, but I couldn't get rid of the ghosts on my body at all. Watching Wang Dongcheng let out a low roar and rushed towards Li Xiao with a kitchen knife, there was only deep despair left in my heart.
However, at this moment, a deafening sound exploded like thunder on the ground.
"Bang ——!!"
Is it a gunshot, or a very powerful firearm. I couldn't help but be stunned, and even the ghosts who were lying on top of me and biting were stunned for a moment.
I looked blankly towards the source of the sound and saw a middle-aged man with a bulging beer belly, half a cigarette in his mouth, and a dirty black leather jacket, squinting at the side, the thick muzzle of the dark and slender shotgun in his hand was emitting green smoke.
And Wang Dongcheng, who was holding a kitchen knife high and wanted to kill Li Xiao, was already bombarded into tofu scum at this moment. He held the kitchen knife so stiffly and slowly fell behind him.
"Grandma, a bear, follow the people of that kid in the berserk...... It's always going to happen like this...... Tsk, what a fucking trouble. ”
The person who came was none other than the captain of the criminal police team, Stone Hammer! I shouted to him with joy, full of hope for the feeling I felt.
"Yo, your kid is not dead yet, his life is really big, come and protect yourself, the gun in Lao Tzu's hand doesn't recognize people."
As he spoke, the stone hammer didn't hesitate for a second, and pointed the muzzle of the black hole at me. When I saw that Stone Hammer actually said that he was going to shoot, he cursed anxiously, but he still tried to fend off all these ghosts in front of me.
The shotgun has a limited range, but as long as it is within the effective range, there is no firearm that can match the power of it, and I desperately hold all the goblins on my body at the moment, stacking them several times, but I can still feel the strong recoil.
These ghosts are not invincible, the simplest and most crude way is to blow up their brains, of course, now it would be better if there were purification charms, stick them on them, stick one on them, stick one and burn not one.
Stone Hammer was calm, as if he didn't know that he was facing a group of ghosts, squinting his eyes and smoking a cigarette, but the shotgun in his hand did not hesitate, and shot out one after another, and the sound of gunfire shook his eardrums.
Although the method was simple and crude, the effect was also remarkable - in a few moments, the goblins were almost dead. There were still two left, and I took advantage of the fact that the final countdown was not over, and directly screamed angrily and pressed their brains on the ground and rubbed them, smashing them hard.
The head was shattered into a watermelon in an instant, after all, they are all zombies' fragile physique, and the difficulty coefficient of a single body is not high, mainly because it is too terrifying when they are together. I wiped the grayish-white gooey brain that had bounced on my face and looked at the stone hammer.
Shi Hammer stared at me with some surprise and some amusement, and suddenly pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, I looked at the entrance of the playground before - Li Xiao had arrived safely at the entrance, and there, the police car was also slowly coming, and several figures I was familiar with hurriedly walked down from the car.
"Alas, it's finally over......"
Then, before I could breathe deeply, I was about to say something to the stone hammer when I saw a goblin stand up behind him—the brain was half broken, but still not dead. He opened his bloody mouth, let out a strange roar deep in his throat, and bit down on the head of the stone hammer in one bite.
"Be careful!!"
I let out a loud cry in a panic, the stone hammer didn't know what was happening, I didn't react, I gritted my teeth, rushed up and pushed the stone hammer away, and then my own right arm landed in the mouth of the monster with the broken head.
At this time, the medicinal effect of the virgin blood has disappeared, and I am now just a body of flesh and blood, and one piece less is one piece.
There was a crunch "click" accompanied by a hard biting motion, and I couldn't help but scream in terrible pain - my arm had turned into slag in the monster's mouth, and the whole forearm had completely detached from my body.
"Zhang Hanging!! Shit, you damn brute——!! ”
The stone hammer was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted, with a hideous face, and kicked the monster in the stomach, and when he opened his mouth, he sent the muzzle of the black hole into his mouth, and with a loud bang, the monster flew upside down.
This time it collapsed on the ground and never got up again, its brain shattered into a puddle of rotten liquid.
"Hangzi!"
"the suspension! Are you okay?! ”
"Xiao Hanging!!"
I sat down on the ground with a pale face, clutching my arm to keep the blood out as much as possible. Dongzi, Lin, and Senior Sister Mu Mu also arrived in time at this moment, and Senior Sister Mu Mu was the calmest, after all, she graduated from a medical university.
She immediately tore strips of cloth from her lab coat and bandaged me tightly. Dongzi and Captain Stone Hammer immediately picked me up and ran towards the police car.
As the group hurried to the hospital, Captain Stonehammer kept complaining that I was too risky, and that if he hadn't been clever enough, he wouldn't have imagined that we were in this place. I smiled wryly and didn't answer, and when I turned my head, I saw Li Xiao sitting in another parallel police car.
Her little head was leaning against the window, and she had been calmly watching the scenery outside the window, and at this time, she seemed to feel my gaze, and when she looked up slightly, she met my eyes.
Li Xiao was stunned, I smiled at her, Li Xiao looked at me for a long time, and then exhaled into the window, and slowly wrote on it.
I saw that Li Xiao had three words written on it.
"Thank you."
Although it was not my intention to join the ghost film company by being tricked by a baboon man, at this moment, I sincerely feel a sense of fulfillment. Over the next few days, I informed the baboon man about my side and told him that my mission was complete.
After checking it, the baboon man sent me the final audit results through the ghost assistant - the hard work paid off, and this time the C-level mission, just like last time, I successfully completed all the tasks. So the punishment was waived, and the monetary reward was obtained, and there were surprise items to claim.
However, since the three tasks have been completed, this also means that Ash's soul has been successfully purified, right? Like Ash, he didn't turn into a ghost, but because he still had a last wish in his heart, he kept wandering in the world.
However, I strongly suspect that the baboon man's purpose was not to purify Ash's soul - I would never know how to purify Ash without finding out the truth behind this case.
So, the real purpose of this black-bellied baboon man is likely to be another plan, but I don't know what exactly he is doing, if I can guess what this guy is thinking in his head one day, I think I can be his boss.
I was almost forcibly hospitalized due to an arm injury, but Shi Hammer was also in the know, so I didn't hide anything from him. I told him that there was no need to be hospitalized, that I had a way to recover from my injuries, so the fewer people who knew about it, the better.
Shi Hammer may have encountered a similar thing before, and he understood very quickly, and happily agreed to my request, and after finding an acquaintance doctor to do a simple bandaging treatment for me, I followed Lin, Senior Sister Mumu, and Dongzi back to the ghost mansion villa.
After returning home, I had time to calm down and take a good look at the specific development of the case - after Li Xiao turned herself in at the police station, the serial disappearances at Shenglan Private High School caused an uproar.
However, because the person in charge of this case was a stone hammer, those who tried to suppress the turmoil through power and let Li Xiao bear all the charges alone, the so-called "aristocratic" class did not succeed.
With Li Xiao's retraction of his confession and the fact that Shi Hammer made all the things Li Xiao accountable public, public opinion also changed from a one-sided criticism of Li Xiao or the current education system at the beginning to a criticism of the serious class gap in society.
I see that things have developed to this point, and I finally have a feeling of being angry, and I think that the public, who are always easy to be manipulated by public opinion, has finally "hit the right one". I can't guarantee that the current public opinion is not the result of manipulation.
But, at least, I think it's a strong fight back against an unfair class system. On Li Xiao's side, many famous lawyers are willing to take the initiative to help Li Xiao appeal, and although the appeal result has not yet come out, the wind is good.
Public opinion is also one-sided towards Li Xiao, demanding that the aristocratic class involved in it be severely punished, and the high-level of Shenglan Private High School will be severely punished. St. Lan's Private High School, which had almost no objections, was soon sentenced to be abandoned.
From the members of the school board to the principal, vice principal, director, and faculty members...... and all the staff were arrested and taken to investigate. This incident has aroused great attention from the superiors. It all seems to start with school bullying, but it's not.
School bullying is also a very serious problem, but it really resonates with the public, making them feel uncomfortable, and the reason why they can't swallow this bite is that this tragedy is actually caused by the outbreak of class contradictions.
