235 The little couple who were burned to death
Tang Cheng had just walked up to the second floor, and a pair of men and women walked in front of him, both of them were very young, handsome men and beautiful women, looking like a couple, walking hand in hand, talking and laughing.
Tang Cheng couldn't help but be stunned, and instinctively patted the woman on the shoulder who leaned on his side, "Who is the sister?" β
The woman turned her head to look at him, but as if she hadn't seen it, she quickly turned her head again and laughed with the man, but the man never looked at Tang Cheng, as if he hadn't noticed him at all.
"Huh?"
Tang Cheng suddenly frowned, what is the situation? Could it be that the Akalin ability of the traitor title has been activated? No, I didn't stand behind them, and I was already screaming...... He looked at his hand, something strange.
"What do you think of our children's names? Yaoyao or Jiaojiao? The woman asked as she walked up the stairs.
"If only you liked it." The man said with a smile, his eyes full of tenderness.
"I prefer Haruka's name, but ...... Or maybe it's a boy. β
"It doesn't matter if it's a boy or a girl."
β¦β¦
From this conversation between the two, Tang Cheng can basically determine that they are not challengers, but the plot characters are also unlikely, not to mention that this is not a copy world, even if there is really a systematic original plot, it is impossible for the plot characters to ignore him to this kind of Cheng dΓΉ, right?
So, is it an illusion?
This seems to be even more nonsense.
Otherwise, burn them to death and see if there will be any reaction...... I don't know when, Tang Cheng already had extra gasoline and torches in his hands, but just when he was thinking about whether to burn the dog man and woman to death, he had already followed the two to the third floor, and then he found that the woman had a big belly.
"Damn, do you want it so fast?"
Tang Cheng complained at the time, and a moment ago she was still a pretty wife with a thin waist and plump buttocks. In a blink of an eye, she became a pregnant woman who was pregnant in October, this is also too godly to unfold, how can you make those infertile and distressed little couples embarrassed!
But soon he found out that this didn't seem to be a blink of an eye, because the woman's hairstyle was already significantly different from before, and if she could still see a little girlish dress before, then she was now a real wife, and the man also looked more mature.
So, it's not a god unfolding, it's just a leap in time at the moment of going upstairs?
Tang Cheng thought so. At this time, he didn't want to burn the man and woman, but silently followed behind them.
Then, they went to the fourth floor.
At this time, the woman had changed again, from a pregnant woman with a big belly to a young mother, and I saw that she was holding a baby in her arms that had not been born for a long time, talking to her husband while teasing the child in her arms, "Yaoyao." It's so cute, come on, call Mommy. β
The young mother looks at her child with a happy expression on her face.
Subsequently. They came to the fifth floor.
This time, the time span has become significantly longer, because the baby who was originally held in the arms of the woman is now a little girl of six or seven years old, wearing a colorful dress. Walking down the stairs by the mother's hand.
"Yaoyao, did you listen to the teacher in school today?" Mother asked.
The little girl replied proudly, "Yes." The teacher praised me. β
"Haruka is so good."
The conversation between the mother and daughter is a very normal topic, and there is nothing strange about it, but Tang Cheng found a disobedience...... The husband who had been with the woman in the previous three scenes was gone.
Is this a foreshadowing?
Tang Cheng thought in his heart, but it was not easy to judge lightly, so he could only continue to follow.
Then when we got to the sixth floor, the situation changed again.
This time the time span is not as long as just now, because Yao Yao has only grown from a young girl of six or seven years old to a cute little Lori in her early tens, but in that woman's body, it fully shows the ruthlessness of time...... Originally, even after giving birth to a child and becoming a mother, she was still a very young and beautiful woman, but now it seems that twenty years have passed, the corners of her eyes are covered with crow's feet, and her face has an unconcealable tiredness color, which is in stark contrast to her daughter.
Moreover, she no longer held her daughter's hand, but just walked silently.
However, it has already come to the end, because at the moment when Tang Cheng stepped onto the seventh floor, a sea of fire appeared in front of his eyes, and the husband who disappeared before reappeared, he held his wife and sank in the fire, the woman was burned all over the body, stretched out a hand in the scream, and shouted loudly: "Be careful!" He's not ......"
Tang Cheng's face changed slightly, looking at the hand stretched out to him, he was about to rush up and rescue the woman...... His intuition told him that the woman was sending him some kind of message.
However, at the moment when he stepped out, the fire suddenly became extremely violent, and in a blink of an eye, the woman was burned to ashes, and then, the flames all disappeared, and only the dimly lit seventh floor was in front of him.
Tang Cheng stood in place and looked at the empty floor, and after a long time, he sighed helplessly.
Although he still has no way of knowing what has happened here, from what he has seen and heard along the way, he already has a vague guess in his mind, and only the last clue can be put together to form a puzzle, and now there are two paths in front of him...... The first is to go back the way you came, to go through what you just saw again, and the second is to continue up.
The first way, if the scene he saw just now can appear again, then he may be able to know the message that the other party wants to convey, but the premise is that kind of scene can really appear again, and in Tang Cheng's opinion, what can be repeated must be doomed.
Well, he had no choice but to move on.
Of course, with what he had seen and heard just now, Tang Cheng was already more vigilant, and then, just as he walked up to the twelfth floor, a woman's voice sounded, a little familiar.
Tang Cheng followed the sound and found that the sound came from the room on the far left, and the door was locked, but it was not difficult for him, just fiddling with it a few times, and the door opened.
"Great, you've finally come to save me." Tang Chenggang walked in and said in a surprised voice.
Looking towards the sound, Tang Cheng found a huge cage on the ground in the middle of the room. A figure was in a cage, and this figure looked exactly like the woman before, except that it looked a little younger, obviously before the fourth floor, and ...... It's still translucent.
Tang Cheng was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "How do you know that I am here to save you?" β
"Ugh!" The woman was stunned, "Aren't you an exorcist?" If you weren't an exorcist, how would you end up in such a place? I thought you were projecting those scenes to you when I went upstairs......"
"Oh, I see." Tang Cheng nodded suddenly. "I'm not an exorcist, but it's okay to save you, but before that, can you tell me what happened?"
"Absolutely." The woman nodded hurriedly, and then said with a sad face, "My husband and I met in college, met each other and fell in love, and finally got married and had children, which was originally a very happy life." But I don't know when my husband suddenly seemed to be a different person, not only did his temper become weird, but he even beat and scolded me from time to time. At first I thought he was just having trouble at work. Because of the pressure, I became like this, so I endured it silently, but later I found out that he was actually evil, but it was too late by then......"
"To get him back. I quietly went to find a few exorcists, but in the end, not only were those exorcists killed by him, but after learning that I had found the exorcists. He even wanted to kill our mother and daughter, and then that's what you see...... He set fire to the house and burned us both alive. β
Speaking of this, there was a faint pain on the woman's face, as if she remembered the feeling when she died, "Originally, it was a relief to die, but I never thought that I would become like this after I died, and I was locked up by him, and I don't know what happened to my daughter now...... Please, help me! β
As she spoke, the woman immediately knelt down.
"I see, how can I help you?"
Seeing Tang Cheng agree, the woman was immediately overjoyed and said: "My husband is sleeping in the room on the top floor in order to accumulate strength, and there is a sword in his room, which is his nemesis, and he can kill him by stabbing that sword into his body." β
"Oh, that sounds easy."
"No, it's not that simple, there have been many exorcists here before, but all of them were killed by him, you must not despise him!"
"Well, I will." Tang Cheng nodded, "But there is one more question I want to ask you, do you know the situation in this city now?" β
"What's going on in the city?" The woman shook her head, "I've been here for a long time. β
"That's true, so I'll get you out first." As he spoke, Tang Cheng had already stepped forward.
"Wait, wait!" The woman's face changed, and she hurriedly stopped, "This cage has been exerted some kind of power by my husband, and if you touch it lightly, it will be life-threatening......"
"It's okay, I'm strong." Tang Cheng smiled indifferently, "And I heard you say that it is so terrible, I am a little worried about dealing with your husband alone, so rescue you first, and then join forces with the two of us, the hope will be greater, are you right." β
"I see...... I don't know if I can help though......"
"It's okay, with your strength, you can definitely do it." Tang Cheng smiled and went to open the cage, and the moment he touched it, there was a sharp pain in his hands, as if he was roasting it on the fire, but there was nothing else, and it was within his bearing.
Then there was a click, and the cage was opened.
"Thank you!" The woman who was finally freed cried with joy and bowed to Tang Cheng to thank her.
Tang Cheng smiled slightly, "It's okay, you won't thank me right away." β
"Huh?"
The woman couldn't help but be stunned, instinctively raised her head, and saw a fist infinitely enlarged in her eyes.
Rumble!!!
The fist that condensed the thought hit the woman's head, and half of it was directly erased. (To be continued......)
