Chapter 20: The Place of Origin
Dong Sheng's body threw forward, his hands propped up on the ground, his legs were in a kneeling position, and he slowly trembled towards Fang Rui, like a baby who had just learned to crawl.
Fang Rui hugged the baby tightly with one hand and propped it up to the ground with the other, and the ground that was originally just wet turned out to be flexible and smooth to the touch.
"Give me the baby!" The eyeballs in Dongsheng's mouth were still rolling, and the sound seemed to come from his stomach, and the voice was empty and indifferent, without ups and downs.
So familiar...
Fang Rui suddenly remembered the strange child who took the book the night seven days ago, and his voice was like this at that time!
Found it, finally found it!
Fang Rui didn't know where he got the courage to yell at Dong Sheng: "You fucking give me back the book first!" β
"Yes, take the baby for it." Dongsheng climbed closer to Fang Rui again.
Rui was stunned at this time, if it was changed to Bai Jingjing here and now, he would definitely not say a word, and agreed to take the book back first. But Fang Rui is different, he is a human being, he naturally has the empathy of a normal person, and the village chief would rather exchange the future of the entire village for the life of this baby girl, and entrust her to himself, Fang Rui really can't hand over the baby to this winter birth in front of him.
However, if you don't give it, you can't get it back, although I don't know what Bai Jingjing said about the mutation, but I feel very powerful. If you don't take it back, it is estimated that Bai Jingjing will torture herself!
Woo woo woo ... What should I do?
Seeing Fang Rui's hesitation, Dong Sheng said again: "I don't want the baby's life, I just need her eyes, she can't die." β
Fang Rui's hand holding the baby loosened for a moment, and finally shook his head: "No, I can't give it to you." β
Dongsheng's face instantly turned black, and he shouted: "Don't toast, don't eat, eat and drink." β
Fang Rui immediately turned around and crawled towards the brass door, and the Dongsheng behind him didn't chase after him, but sneered twice.
As soon as the laughter fell, the flexible, slippery ground began to squirm, as if something was struggling to get out from below.
With the constant popping sound around him, Fang Rui was horrified to see countless pairs of baby's little hands breaking out of the ground. In a few moments, the surroundings were already crawling with babies, deformed babies.
"Do you know what this place is? This is the place of death of the other 99 deformed babies sacrificed for the birth of the Hundred-Eyed Ghost Child, and it is also the birthplace of the Hundred-Eyed Ghost Child! Dong Sheng's words made Fang Rui feel cold all over his body.
The birthplace of the hundred-eyed ghost boy is also the place where 99 other deformed babies died!
I can't imagine how fierce this place can be!
In an instant, those deformed babies who emerged from the ground had already crawled to Fang Rui's side, and their little hands grabbed Fang Rui's body, making him feel cold and even more painful. What's worse is that they are constantly tugging at the baby's swaddling clothes.
Just when Fang Rui thought that he couldn't save the baby, suddenly a deformed baby's small hand grabbed Fang Rui's neck, and something fell to the ground with a snap.
The fluorescent green light instantly burrowed into the ground, and the ground began to squirm again, cracks opening one after another, emitting a faint soft green light from inside.
That's the little blade given by Grandpa Mu! Fang Rui remembered the green leaf that had been hanging around his neck, and after wearing it, his leg disease had never been repeated.
The fierce and tyrannical expressions on the faces of those deformed babies slowly disappeared in the green light, and were replaced by ignorant expressions, just like the expressions of all newborn babies.
The green light famed, and the deformed babies began to fade, as if they were just shadows about to disappear.
Dong Sheng's face showed an angry expression, and he screamed and pounced on Fang Rui.
A warm current flowed in his right arm, and at the critical moment, the 'chaos' finally appeared, and the red threads arched their bodies like cats waking up from a deep sleep, and only paused in mid-air for a second before shooting towards Dongsheng.
But the strange thing is that this time the red threads became illusory the moment they touched Dongsheng, and they seemed to reach into Dongsheng's body, dragging something from the inside out.
Dongsheng's terrible scream was deafening, and Fang Rui saw a child who had been dragged out of Dongsheng's body.
Wasn't it the same child who took the book from the bookstore that night?
Only this time he had a blood-red eye on his face.
After the 'mix' completely pulled the child out of Dongsheng's body, he wrapped it tightly, and the child kept struggling, but the 'mix' became tighter and tighter, bulging out like a piece of meat.
In the gurgling sound, the child's clothes were shredded by the 'mix', revealing the skin, and its body was covered with eyeballs, and half of the eyeballs were stared out of the 'mix'.
It's disgusting! Fang Rui endured the nausea, and one of the eyeballs suddenly popped and exploded! Then more eyeballs burst or fell out of the child's sockets, turning into a puddle of fishy black water.
In the end, the largest bloody eyeball on the child's face also fell out of its socket and rolled to Fang Rui's feet.
When all the eyeballs left the child's body, its body disappeared like grains of sand drifting in the wind, and the 'chaos' tightly held on a book of life with many eyes on the cover!
Finally... It's back!
Fang Rui sat on the ground with a butt, and let the 'mix' swallow the entire package of the life book. And in the warehouse of the bookstore thousands of miles away, the book has already returned to its place.
Fang Rui, who was panting heavily, only felt that all the strength in his body had been drained by the 'mix', and he didn't even have the strength to move a finger.
Dongsheng, who was sitting on the ground on the side, burst out into a long-suppressed cry.
"The village chief... Humpback... I don't want to... I don't want to kill you. Dongsheng sobbed and called out the name of the village chief.
Fang Rui knew that Dongsheng at this time was the original one, but some things were already in the boat.
"It's not your fault, it's the hundred-eyed ghost boy who possessed you did it." Fang Rui comforted.
"No!" Dong Sheng looked at Fang Rui, "I hate her for giving up the hope of the whole village for the sake of that baby girl, she can obviously make us, no, at least our descendants sound." But she didn't! I really wanted to gouge out the baby girl's eyes. It is precisely because of the evil thoughts in my heart that I will be possessed by the hundred-eyed ghost boy. Just like a camel baby, he has jealousy in his heart for the child in his blind sister-in-law's belly before he is possessed by it. β
"Did you know it was originally attached to a camel baby?" Fang Rui asked.
"Hmm." Dongsheng nodded, "I just went to see the sick camel baby alone after my blind sister-in-law gave birth, and I felt that something was wrong, and I couldn't stop the desire to gouge out the baby girl's eyes." That night, I couldn't hold back anymore so I broke into the village chief's mother-in-law's room, questioned her, blamed her, and cast a spell on her sister without giving her a chance to explain. My sister also seems to have evil thoughts in her heart, so she let her kill her sister. Although, I didn't do it myself, but I didn't kill them? β
Fang Rui didn't know how to comfort him, who didn't have any sinful thoughts flashing in people's hearts? It's just that we are human beings after all, and in the end, reason triumphs over inner desires. But when this evil thought is amplified wirelessly, only God knows what evil things people can do.
Fang Rui, who had recovered some of his strength, picked up the bloody eyeball from the ground, wasn't this the one he took out from the Hundred-Eyed Ghost Boy Formation? How did it end up in the hands of the hundred-eyed ghost boy?
"This is one of the eyeballs of the three-eyed idol, right? Put it back? Fang Rui handed the bloody eyeballs to Dong Sheng.
Dongsheng didn't answer, and said faintly: "What's the use of putting it back?" The village chief was right, it's time to end. It's time for it all to end. Give it to you, you're strong enough to harness it, and maybe you'll find its true use. β
Dongsheng said very resolutely, and walked towards the brass door without looking back. Fang Rui, who was helpless, could only kick the beads into his pocket and followed with the baby in his arms.
Fortunately, after the villagers found that Fang Rui, Dongsheng and the camel were also missing, they finally found the door behind the stone statue, opened it and rescued them.
When Dong Sheng told the truth of the matter, to his surprise, the whole village chose to forgive Dong Sheng, and agreed with the village chief's last wish to send the camel and the blind sister-in-law's daughter out of the village. For them, the doom of the village for thousands of years should end with this baby girl. Although they can't have any offspring of their own, this baby girl is the offspring of all the people in the village, the hope of the whole village!
When Dongsheng stood at the entrance of the village to see Fang Rui and them out, the expression on his face had already regained his indifference and stability, and there was even a sense of detachment.
"Aren't you going with us? You look γγγγγ Fang Rui wanted to speak and stopped.
Dong Sheng smiled lightly, leaned the most into Fang Rui's ear and whispered a word, and then said: "I am now the village head, and I want to accompany my villagers." In the future, we will meet each other. β
Fang Rui was a little blushing at a loss for the whisper just now, and in the end he could only be pulled away by Sun Xiaoxiao, who was in a hurry to leave.
With the jade pendant reserved by the village chief in advance, they finally walked out of the maze safely after three days.
Fang Rui handed over the baby to Li Lei, after all, it was inconvenient for him to take the child back to the bookstore. Before leaving, Sun Xiaoxiao finally couldn't help but ask, "What did that Dongsheng tell you in the end?" β
Fang Rui smiled and didn't answer, let it be a secret.
Soon after the group left, another figure came out of the ecstasyγγγγγ
Fang Rui, who returned to the bookstore to report what had happened, was still scolded by Bai Jingjing, but these were already commonplace for Fang Rui.
After Bai Jingjing finished scolding, Fang Rui went to Grandpa Mu in a hurry: "Grandpa Mu, the little leaf you gave is really life-saving this time!" Why do the ghosts of those babies disappear? β
"Hahahaha, because I'm a part of Wakaki Branch! Fusang in the east pole, Ruomu in the west. Although Wakaki is the place where the sun sets, the daily reincarnation of the sun represents reincarnation and purification. The one who fears those unjust ghosts the most is me! Grandpa Mu looked proud.
"I see! Grandpa Mu, you're so good! This one... Hey. Fang Rui rubbed his hands, "Can you give me another piece of that little leaf?" Without it, my feet hurt so much. β
"Hehe, yes, yes." Saying that, Grandpa Mu grew another small emerald green leaf and gave it to Fang Rui.
This time, Fang Rui held it for a long time as if he had won the treasure, it was really a good treasure, maybe he would rely on it again next time!
