Chapter 91, The Death of Ah Shui
Sometimes people live in this world with a lot of helplessness, helpless survival, helpless work, helpless to make many choices.
Whether it's mortals, or those of us who live in supernatural circles.
Even my master, Jiang Tianxin, who is profound, has helplessness.
I leaned weakly on the black egg's body, I had no strength at all, I couldn't even open my mouth to speak, there was a sharp pain in the center of my eyebrows, my skin was burning with pain, and my head seemed to be about to swell.
The master held the dagger I dropped on the ground in his hand and walked in front of Ah Shui, who was still a human at this time, but his body was no longer lifeless, and his body exuded a faint corpse aura, he lowered his head, did not speak, and did not make any movements.
The long nails, the long fangs that came out of the mouth, and the blackened meridians on the skin all told me that the simple and honest head lowering master Ah Shui, who had helped us, had turned into a zombie.
Hou Qing is different from other walking corpses or zombies, he is the true ancestor of zombies, it can be said that he is a higher creature than humans, and his blood has great energy even after endless years.
If Ah Shui was bitten by other walking corpses, maybe he could still be saved, just like me, he might be able to get rid of the corpse poison in his body by doing his best. However, he was bitten by Hou Qing, and the power of corpse poison is hundreds of times stronger than that of ordinary walking corpses, and, over time, Ah Shui will completely become Hou Qing's servant, living in this land as ignorant as a monster, without reason, only the nature of a zombie, devouring living beings and killing humans.
Therefore, such Ah Shui must die.
The master held the dagger tightly, I don't know if the master had killed people in the past, but at this moment, I could see the master's hesitation and nervousness.
"Master......"
I opened my mouth with difficulty, wanting to say that let the master think of a way, a good person like Ah Shui should not die at such a young age.
However, the master raised his hand and stopped me from continuing to speak.
"Komori, don't say it. There's no way, Ah Shui has died after being bitten by Hou Qing, and now it's just a zombie that is about to be controlled by Hou Qing, it's no longer Ah Shui! So, so, I have to kill him, I have to ......"
The master's voice trembled a little, at this moment, he raised the dagger in his hand and stabbed it fiercely, I heard a vague whimper from Ah Shui's mouth, and I saw his head raised up, and the pair of green eyes under the scattered hair gradually returned to normal.
Ah Shui's nails were shortened, the fangs were gone, and the black meridians on his skin were gone.
However, his life is also losing at a rapid pace.
"Thank you, Master Jiang, thank you ......"
Ah Shui's last words were very light, at the end of his life, he finally reverted to a human being, died as a human being, died in this dark cave, died in the depths of this dense forest that no one knows.
And when he fell to the ground, I could still see that the young head descender had a faint smile on his lips, as if he had been relieved.
The master put away his dagger, turned to me, carried me on his back, and thought without saying a word about the outside of the cave.
In the faint light, I couldn't see the master's face clearly, but the arm around his neck felt water dripping on my skin, I don't know if it was the water on the top of the cave, or the master's tears......
"Komori, we are not superhuman, we are not omnipotent saints, we are just human beings. We also have to eat, we also have to live, and there will be laughter, tears, fastness, and sadness. Sometimes we encounter many difficult choices that we can't escape, and we can only choose the right option, even if we make a choice, we will cry, but this is the ...... of life"
This is what the master said to me a few years ago, and I remember it vividly.
Now, I also deeply understand the meaning of the master's words, after all, we are just yin and yang agents, not heavenly immortals.
After walking out of the cave, the master did not speak, the sky was already bright, and when I returned to Lang Son Town, it was almost noon, and the master took me to the new hotel and went down to help me buy food.
I was lying on the bed, I still felt very heavy, but my arms and shoulders could move, and the black egg was lying next to me, seemingly sleeping and resting, but after the master left, he asked me: "Boy, if you are Jiang Tianxin today, do you want to do it?" ”
I looked at the white zenith and didn't answer, because I didn't know how to answer.
No one could have imagined that in a few years, I would face the same problem, and I would also meet a person who would kill someone, and a person I would not be able to do anyway.
After lunch, I continued to stay in the hotel to rest, autonomously launching the nameless magic circle and my unconscious activation are two different things, the physical strength consumed is multiplied, and I have actually exhausted myself after destroying the old cadre, but in order to deter Hou Qing, I relied on my own will to hold on for a while, causing my physical strength to be seriously overdrawn.
The master left the hotel, and I was lying on the bed alone, unable to sleep with a headache, but my body was too weak.
After 1 hour, the master returned to the room, followed by a man, estimated to be only about 1.65 tall, about the same as 15-year-old me, but with a resolute and calm face, wearing a very simple coat, short hair, typical Vietnamese facial features.
However, I noticed that as soon as he walked in, some of the spirit runes that the master had arranged in the room had a slight reaction, and it was obvious that the man in front of me was not simple.
Nowadays, in order to avoid always being attacked in the hotel, or like the last time Hou Qing suddenly appeared, the master will put some spirit runes on the walls of the hotel, and these spirit runes will sense those special people or dead souls.
The man walked in, sat down, smiled at me, and seemed polite.
At this time, the master opened his mouth and introduced: "Xiao Sen, this is the executive director of the Vietnam Head Descending Master Association, Mr. Pham Van Xiong. This is, my apprentice, Duanmusen. ”
When the master introduced me like this, I was taken aback, the person in front of me turned out to be a senior member of the Vietnam Head Lowering Divisions Association!
You know, in Vietnam, the status of the head descending division has always been very high, and it is also very concerned by the Vietnamese authorities, simply put, the head descending division is like a sharp sword in Vietnam, with good use and good control, it can maintain the local culture of Vietnam, and even do a lot of things that even agents and spies can't do. However, if there are some uncontrolled head-lowering divisions, that is, evil faction head-lowering divisions, who do evil, it will even affect the credibility of the government.
The emergence of the Head Descender Association has played a role in bringing the profession of Head Descender into the right path to a large extent, and has also helped the government to manage these skilled and magical people.
In Vietnam, the high-level status of the Association of Head Bearers is very high.
"Hello, Master Jiang Tianxin's apprentice, he is really talented."
Pham Van Hung speaks Chinese very well, unlike the Vietnamese we met before, his Chinese can be described as a word correct cavity.
"Hello, Chairman Fan."
I smiled in return.
"Chairman Fan, originally I didn't want to alarm your association when I came to Vietnam this time, because the target I pursued this time was a mutated zombie. However, the originally simple task has undergone tremendous changes, and even sacrificed one of your head descending masters, here, I, Jiang Tianxin, say sorry first. ”
I rarely see the master so respectful of people who are also in the supernatural circle, even when he meets the old man Li Yan, he is full of oil and smoothness.
"It's okay, you're serious, we've relied on your strength in the past, and now we're just helping each other. Moreover, the zombie cult you just told me about is also the target of our recent attention, and the authorities have also given me instructions to eradicate this gang of forces as soon as possible. So, even if you don't come to us, I'm sure I'm going to come to you. ”
Fan Wenxiong's words made me understand that the master went out this time to find a helper.
"How many people have you brought to Langshan?"
The words have been said to this, and the master did not beat around the bush, and asked directly.
"15 well-trained, full-time combat-oriented divisions. Led by me, all of them have already stayed in the branch of the head descending division in Lang Son. By the way, you said that you and Houqing have handed over, how much power has it fused now? Have you really awakened to become your Chinese zombie ancestor? ”
When Fan Wenxiong asked the master a question, his expression began to become solemn.
The master shook his head and said: "I haven't fully awakened yet, I fought yesterday, I estimated in my heart that he should already have 5 percent of Houqing's ** strength, and about 3 percent of the corpse level, we can barely deal with this little person, but if we let it go, it will soon become a real monster." ”
As soon as the master said this, Fan Wenxiong nodded slightly, his expression was very serious.
"In this way, I'll go back first, explain to my subordinates, and let them find out where this zombie sect is hiding first, and after the results are out, we will go straight to Huanglong!"
Fan Wenxiong stood up as he said and walked out of the room.
The master sent him to the door, and finally I heard the master say: "Ah Shui's body, please send someone to find it, I hope it can be buried thickly, and I will pay for it." ”
Fan Wenxiong left, and the master returned to the room, however, I saw that the spirit runes on the walls around me still reacted.
"Is this rune broken?"
I asked curiously.
At this moment, the black egg suddenly got up from the ground, looked around vigilantly, and after a while, a woman walked in from the open door, a very beautiful woman, as gorgeous as a demon, and this big black snake was entrenched beside her.
When the black egg saw this big black snake, he immediately made an attack posture, revealing his fangs!
"Black egg, don't attack."
The master screamed and stopped the black egg.
And I looked at the woman in front of me in surprise, it was none other than the enchantress of the Ten Constant Servants, that is, Meng Ruqing, who had cheated me and my master before!
"What are you doing here? Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you? ”
There was hostility in the master's eyes.
"Oh, what a ruthless person, people miss you so they come to see you, and when they meet, they say they want to kill me, I'm really afraid."
As soon as the enchantress opened her mouth, she was bewitching, and her voice was extremely sweet.
"Hmph, don't use your flattery on me, it's useless! I'm not going to fall for you anymore and say, what are you doing here! Do you monitor the progress of our commission? ”
The master asked solemnly.
"Haha, of course it's not an overseer, I'm here to support you, I'm afraid you won't be able to deal with it. Besides, they're going to tell you a piece of information. ”
The enchantress replied with a smile, not afraid of the master at all.
"What information?"
The master frowned suspiciously.
"About, the true body of this monster that fused with Hou Qing's blood, don't you want to know what it was before he fused?"
As soon as the enchantress raised her hand, the door to the room closed by itself
