Chapter 194: Everything is impermanent
As he spoke, Baizhou had already taken out a small box from his backpack and asked me to bring Li Sansi's backpack to him.
I nodded, I had seen Li Sansi use that strange method to help Ham exorcise ghosts, so I didn't delay much, so I ran to Li Sansi and took off his backpack.
But when I inadvertently looked at that face, I felt a chill, because I had been looking at it from a distance before, and the terrifying appearance made me impressed, but now at such a close distance, I realized that there was something else on his face full of red spots.
It was a pattern made of stripes, and when I looked at it, I not only felt horrible, but also found that the cracks in the skin that turned out of the face seemed to be unconsciously outlined into a strange drawing.
After a few pauses on the drawing, I felt a pain in my head, and my body almost fell on the corpse due to the imbalance of strength.
But in the face of that face, I still tried my best to control myself, so as not to have an intimate contact with him.
Seeing that I was gone, there was the sound of a hundred boats behind me, which brought me back to my senses, but when I looked up, I saw that the masked man not far away was attracted by this sound, and also glanced at us.
When I looked at him hesitantly, I didn't know what to do, and suddenly said, "Come and take a look, there seems to be a drawing on the face of the deceased!" ”
I don't know what I thought about this sentence at the time, but I was surprised when I said it.
But soon, I accepted it, because the masked man had already walked over, and when he came over, I told him about Liu Ran again.
The other party shrugged his shoulders, saying that he didn't move his hands and feet at all, if he had already laid a Gu worm, why did he say those words, and finally shoot her?
I didn't answer, because I didn't know if the Gu worm was deadly, but when I went back, I still glanced at him, and remembered Jiang Yuchen's words again, and I felt even more unfathomable about the identity of the person in front of me.
However, after thinking about it, I feel that Jiang Yuchen said those words to me, which is not unreasonable, and when I went back to look for him, he had already left, I don't know where he is now, but he shouldn't come here!
We can't look for him here, so we have to go out first and call someone from outside to help find his whereabouts.
Thinking of this, my movements were a little slow, but I heard the urging sound of Baizhou in my ears, and this woke me up.
After hurrying back and putting the backpack in his hand, I was listless, and I had too many things on my mind, so I didn't have time to pay attention to what Baizhou was doing.
But just as he was getting ready, he heard Baizhou ask, "What are you thinking?" ”
As soon as he asked this, I hesitated for a moment, and finally I couldn't hold back, but I still said what I thought in my heart.
After listening to this, the other party didn't rush to answer, first asked me to tear Liu Ran's clothes apart, and then, spit some powder evenly on the surface of her skin, and then looked back at the masked man, "He has too many secrets, which may be related to Li Sansi, so after I go back, I must take off his mask and see who this person is!" ”
Hearing this, I immediately nodded in response, because I also had a lot of doubts about this masked man in my heart, but I couldn't see anything through the mask, so the answer could only be revealed after I went back.
However, now is not the time to say these words, because in this case, if we have another conflict, it will undoubtedly cut off our own way, so the biggest problem now is to leave as soon as possible.
We held back the curiosity in our hearts, and whispered about the previous question, what is this Gu worm.
While Bai Zhou evenly applied those powders, he said that the person who went down to Gu was unlikely to be a masked man, if he wanted to use Gu to kill people, why bother so much.
"Look at this Gu worm, it just made her unconscious, and it is not fatal, it should be a Gu hiding technique."
"Hidden Gu?!" I scratched my head and handed him another wooden box.
"There are many strange Gu in the world, but the Gu worms mastered by this clan are not evil techniques that specialize in harming others and helping themselves, you must have seen those Gu worms outside, it is a huge net!
"It is also the ultimate goal we seek, unification, the power of concentration, so that people's lives can support each other and continue to deal with the fate that cannot be discovered in the dark.
But this is not an easy thing to do, because there are too many people in this world who do not accept the persuasion of others, but will cause riots, so we have to find another way.
"And those Gu worms have become a way, but the only drawback is that they are bound by themselves, and some people can't accept the power of this kind of Gu worms, which comes from the inner uneasiness, which makes them try their best to reject outsiders, fear and strangeness, making it difficult for them to adapt, and the final result is completely contrary to our expectations.
"This result means our failure, but this failure is like the choice of the world snake, through deduction, we finally found a calculation method, and find out those individuals who can adapt to the Gu worms, and give them an innate choice."
Watching Baizhou take out a few short needles from the wooden box, pierce them along Liu Ran's neck, and twist them carefully, and then I saw a blood-red line extending on the surface of her skin.
It was so slender that I could see it clearly, as if it were moving, flowing down a burst of green tendon towards the face.
Then, Baizhou took out a few wooden jars from his own backpack, pinched out some herbs from them, and finally put them together in an empty jar, with some blue potions, which were pounded by Baizhou with a medicine hammer.
With the herbs, and the potion, there was a strange fishy smell in the wooden jar, and I sniffed it a few times, and it felt very choking, and I tried to hold back myself from sneezing, and waved my hand to fan the smell.
But with the sound of the hammer, I smelled another very strange smell, which was a kind of spiciness, as if after smelling that smell, I felt that the roots of my tongue were numb, giving people a strong illusion.
It seems that I unconsciously ate a stomach of chili peppers, and I just wanted to drink water, but after shaking my head, I came back to my senses and licked my lips with my tongue, and the spicy feeling disappeared.
I don't know anything about Chinese medicine myself, but looking at the mixed colors in the medicine jar, as well as the weird hallucinogenic atmosphere, people avoid it.
But Bai, who has been making medicine, seems to be unconscious, and still looks calm, turning a blind eye to those things that make me feel uncomfortable.
I asked curiously, but the other party didn't answer, and after a while, when the medicine was almost done, he went to get something like a wooden board, scraped the residue off the medicine hammer, and covered it with a lid, and then slowly exhaled a long breath from his nose.
But after this breath, it didn't rush to answer what kind of medicine these were, but continued to talk about the Gu worm just now.
"The people who are chosen are also the individuals who are least likely to reject another cell, that is, those children who are about to die, they are incomplete in their hearts and can only make choices by instinct, so they are also the easiest to accept the help of survival, so they have become the largest group of Gu worms to accept this Gu worm.
"But there are pros and cons to things, because Gu worms dominate most of the cells in the host, so juveniles, while helping the host survive, are also destined to isolate the host from the population, so generally people who are implanted with Gu worms in their bodies are lonely individuals, because they can't adapt to everything in the outside world, in the eyes of outsiders, they are aliens and will die at birth.
"However, everyone has to grow up, and they have to be forced to accept this society and face those gossips, but the vast majority of people can't survive, so that Gu worms only become another cell in the body, and the life cycle of Gu worms is far shortened.
"This is actually not a success, at least it is different from what we expected, because those people are very painful, they can't accept everything from the outside world, they either come back here and banish the Gu worms, or they have a mental breakdown, they are eaten by the Gu worms, and finally see their rare life as a poison.
"But it's painful...... Suffering! What makes all this unfair is not fate, but human nature, because the other side of human nature makes them reject those who are different from themselves, belittle them, and humiliate them, so that they can live in the world they are familiar with. ”
"It's also an instinct!" I unconsciously interjected, but I feel good, maybe sometimes, it's not all other people's fault, when you bring a sense of threat to others, people always need to talk in a whisper, and their hearts are more or less critical of things that are different from themselves and don't understand them.
Speaking of which, it's also because of us, this is not an open society, and we let fear cover the world we see.
Those who survive are the darlings of God, while those who are destined not to live, after surviving with difficulty, have become demons.
Everything that is hated by others is due to our ignorance.
"Perhaps, this is just a way to quench thirst by drinking a donkey, so that those short-lived lives can be fully displayed with the most fragile side."
