Between life and death

Just when the withered arm was less than a foot away from Zhang Chen, two black qi rushed out of the room of Na Sun Zijing's parents, wrapping the cloaked man in it. Four arms stretched out of the black gas and grabbed it to the ground.

"Looks like they wanted me to run away to save their son." Zhang Chen seized the opportunity despite the broken left hand. Still trying to get up, he ran directly to the window that was blown open, and jumped directly from the seventeenth floor.

Under the influence of gravitational acceleration, Zhang Chen fell for only two seconds, and he couldn't stand it anymore. Concentrate your attention, draw out the Yuan Force, and continue to release it downward, so that the speed of your fall will no longer increase, and there are even some signs of slowing down.

"Smack!" fell to the ground at a speed of jumping from the second floor, and Zhang Chen, who was seriously injured, still failed to stand firm and fell directly to the ground. However, time waits for no one, and the explosion just now has caused many onlookers downstairs. Seeing Zhang Chen fall from the seventeenth floor and not fall to his death, everyone was stunned.

Zhang Chen struggled to stand up, covered his left arm, and left from the crowd. Looking back at the seventeenth floor, the guy in the black cloak was standing on the broken windowsill looking at him. Presumably, the soul of Sun Zijing's parents has been wiped out.

"Damn." Zhang Chen walked to the fountain at the exit of the community and slowly assimilated his left hand with clear spring water. But his current physical condition can be described as extremely poor, and the injury on his arm is not a big deal. However, the sandification of the abdomen seems to have hurt the internal organs, and even if I repair it with water, I feel very unwell.

But for some reason, the cloaked man standing on the seventeenth floor didn't chase after him. The only thing Zhang Chen wants to do now is to find a weaker ghost and devour it to treat his injuries. But it's not so easy to find in broad daylight.

"Let's go find a place to eat first, I'm starving. I'm going to be a little nicer to myself today and eat something big." Zhang Chen naturally got on the bus first and stayed away from the community, in case the cloaked man caught up, it would be troublesome.

After five stops of travel, Zhang Chen got off the bus and found a Chinese restaurant, ordered a crucian carp soup, ordered a steamed pork ribs, and began to 'make up'.

"Hmm, it's so comfortable, it seems that it's quite useful to make up for it." Zhang Chen ate five bowls of rice alone, and a large bowl of crucian carp soup was also drunk cleanly, and even the boss who came to pay for it was frightened. However, this is a big supplement, my abdomen is really much better, as long as I don't exercise vigorously and walk around as usual, my abdomen will not have any violent reaction.

Coming out of the restaurant, Zhang Chen naturally got on the bus back to school directly. If you continue to investigate in other places related to Sun Zijing in your current state, and meet the cloaked man again, you will really die and have no place to be buried.

"I'm afraid I'll have to recuperate for a few days. If I can be like the Blood Fiend, I'm afraid I can have the strength to fight. It seems that it is necessary to strengthen yourself." Zhang Chen looked out the window, expecting that Liu Nuo would be able to contact him earlier. After all, the evaluation of that flesh and blood skill is a lot higher than all his skills, and it must be extraordinary.

Zhang Chen jumped directly from the school wall and went in, looking at the water body sleeping in the infirmary, and he smiled slightly. After the diluted medicine in the infusion bottle was infused, Zhang Chen directly turned into a pile of water and integrated it into his own water body. The school doctor came to pull out the needle, checked Zhang Chen again, and found that he was fine, and his body temperature had returned to 37 degrees.

When Zhang Chen returned to the classroom, it was already the second political class in the afternoon. After making a report, he returned to his seat pretending to be sick, and leaned on the table weakly to listen to the teacher's lecture.

Yang Yuan, who was next to him, gave himself a thumbs up under the drawer.

When it was time for class to end, Yang Yuan couldn't wait to lean over and ask, "How is it?" Is there a clue?"

"Well, it's pretty much certain now. This Sun Zijing must have been kidnapped by the people behind the scenes." Zhang Chen said.

"What do you mean by that? Do you mean that Sun Zijing is not dead but missing?" Yang Yuan asked.

Zhang Chen first talked about today's events, but instead of the black cloak and his injury, he told himself how an ordinary person found the words engraved under the bed board.

"So, I think the words under the bed board were naturally engraved by Sun Zijing's dead parents, and I used this electromagnetic receiver you gave me to sense it, and the value is almost close to 400." Zhang Chen said.

"That is to say, there is something behind them that makes Sun Zijing's parents who have turned into resentful ghosts feel afraid to monitor them, so they can only leave the information in a very private place. And judging from the literal meaning of the message, it is indeed possible that Sun Zijing was kidnapped, but it cannot be ruled out that Sun Zijing is dead, and his soul cannot be reincarnated."

This Yang Yuan directly analyzed the conclusion that Zhang Chen wanted to say. It seems that the top students are different,

"Looks like I'm going to have to get up with my cousin this afternoon to discuss the situation. Brother Chen, I'm sorry for you, I might let you go out to investigate some things. If we need to take a leave of absence, my cousin and I will find a way." Yang Yuan patted Zhang Chen's shoulder very gratefully. Then he ran out of the classroom.

Looking at Yang Yuan's excited appearance, Zhang Chen was still very worried, this black cloak must be related to the school, but it is still difficult to say whether it is the mastermind behind the scenes. Such opponents who make themselves a little powerless, then Yang Yuan and them are actually really dangerous.

Zhang Chen was about to stand up and go out to breathe some fresh air, but he didn't want to be together, and his abdomen came. [,！ There was a tearing sensation, and I had to sit down slowly.

"It seems that this injury is more severe than I thought." Recall that the desertification opened a bloody hole in his abdomen, and the gas explosion made it even worse.

"Zhang Chen, are you okay?" A clear voice reached Zhang Chen's ears, and he turned his head to see that it was a firefly.

"It's okay, maybe my stomach is bad." Zhang Chen said with a smile.

"Didn't you say we were friends? Why are you still lying to me?" Insect fireflies' big watery eyes stared at Zhang Chen.

"It's not easy to talk here, after we have dinner in the evening, we'll meet in the old place, I'll tell you again, okay?" Zhang Chen gritted his teeth, and the pain in his abdomen began to become more and more obvious.

"Come, swallow this." In a position that was invisible to the people around him, the insect firefly spit out a white thumb-sized insect from its mouth, and after the small insect "crunched", the insect secreted a milky white slurry, and slowly condensed into a solid state.

Zhang Chen took this thing, although he felt a little disgusting, but he still swallowed it. However, the pain in the abdomen stopped immediately, but the injury still did not recover.

"This thing can make you feel a little more comfortable for a while, I'll go to dinner with you in the evening." Worm Firefly withdrew the white bug in his hand and said with a smile.

"Okay. When the time comes, I'll take you to the third floor to eat pork chop rice there, and I'll treat you."

Looking at the way Worm Firefly covered her mouth and secretly smiled, Zhang Chen didn't know why she felt very comfortable. Then, the class bell rang. Thinking back to the white bug that the insect firefly spit out before, I couldn't help but correspond it to a ghost worm in the booklet.

"It is a low-level ghost insect that is even rarer than the blood beetle, called the cloud worm. It is also the only type of ghost insect that has a docile personality and cannot be killed. But because of the small number and poor reproductive ability, it is difficult to see."

"Although it is only a low-level ghost worm, it can secrete a milky white secretion called 'cloud pulp', which can effectively relieve pain and treat all kinds of injuries. Moreover, this cloud worm itself is a doctor, staying in the host's body, maintaining a symbiotic relationship with the host, ingesting the host's nutrients on weekdays, and once the host's body is abnormal, the cloud worm will take the initiative to treat it."

Zhang Chen reproduced the information he saw last night, and thought of the strange appearance of the insect firefly's body and the aura similar to that of the ghost insect that he exuded during the self-study last night.

"Could it be that there are a lot of ghosts and insects in her body? Last night's mutation must have been the result of a riot that couldn't suppress the ghost insects. But what is she going to do with my blood beetle?" Zhang Chen couldn't figure it out, so he had to wait for the opportunity to ask the insect firefly again.

…………

"Yizhi, this girl's name is Worm Firefly, and she will be our friend in the future. Eat with us today. She's amazing, not worse than me." Zhang Chen introduced the insect fireflies to Wang Yizhi to his side.

After the two girls glanced at each other, Wang Yizhi spoke

"You're ninety-year-old, huh?"

"May '92." Firefly whispered.

"Haha, I'll call you Sister Firefly from now on." As soon as Wang Yizhi went up, she took the little hand of the insect firefly.

Worm Firefly seemed a little unaccustomed, but as Wang Yizhi asked enthusiastically, her heart was slowly opened.

"Why hasn't this guy come yet?" As soon as Zhang Chen asked, he saw a man with eyes holding a language book coming out of the teaching building.

"Xiaobai, you won't have anything to eat if you slow down, come over quickly. I'll introduce you to this, she's called Firefly. From now on, they will be our friends."

As soon as Zhang Chen finished speaking, when Xiao Bai raised his head to look at the insect firefly, his emerald green eyes suddenly flashed green, and the viper-like fangs in his mouth were exposed at once.

"Xiaobai, what are you doing?" Zhang Chen hurriedly stepped up and brought Xiaobai down.

As Zhang Chen's hand pressed on his shoulder, Xiaobai's fangs slowly retracted and said softly

"She smells a lot of things that make me uncomfortable."

However, the insect firefly on the side looked at Xiaobai calmly and said a word

"White Snake."

Zhang Chen wanted to find out about Xiaobai's identity in the future, but he didn't expect to be seen through at once. So I had to explain it a little.

"Xiaobai, he is a white snake, but he is a very good person, we are all very good friends, don't be surprised by the worm. This is also the first time I've seen Xiaobai like this."

It's just that Worm Ying frowned slightly, and muttered: "It's really strange, it's obviously a snake demon, why doesn't it have the breath that a snake demon should have, but is like a cultivator."

"Yizhi, you accompany Worm Firefly to the front, let's go to dinner first." Zhang Chen broke the deadlock with the matter of eating. Put his hand on Xiaobai's shoulder, and follow the two girls towards the cafeteria......
