Chapter 56: A Glimmer of Hope

Zhao Xinning's skin was already very fair, but at this time, under the silver firelight, he looked even more like an unpopular porcelain doll, and his face was covered with fine black cracks. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Qu Yue was taken aback by her appearance, and used her hands and feet to widen the distance between the two.

When she calmed down a little and looked closely, she found that the black lines on Zhao Xinning's face were not the skin that she had imagined.

It was an untold number of black bugs.

They were constantly moving on Zhao Xinning's face, and because they were too dense, they were not easy to find.

Zhao Xinning's screaming continued for a long time, until she couldn't scream and squatted on the ground with her face covered.

"Ning Ning!"

After the fear subsided, what came to her heart was worry, Qu Yue asked with tears in her eyes, and her voice trembled, "Ning Ning, what's wrong with you?" ”

"She ate the eggs of blood clotting worms, and now her body is full of worms."

The man lowered his head, his ice-blue eyes reflected an emotionless silver light, and said indifferently: "Give up, your friend can no longer be counted as a human being." ”

Zhao Xinning curled up and slowly fell to the ground.

Black smoke was constantly coming out of her bare skin, which then dissipated in the wind. The girl's plump body dried up little by little.

Qu Yue looked at the scene in front of him, and after fighting for a long time in his heart, he finally gritted his teeth and approached Zhao Xinning.

"Ningning ......"

She knelt beside Zhao Xinning and stretched out a hand while crying.

"You can see it, but don't touch it."

The man's voice sounded behind him: "That thing wasn't dead when it floated out, and I was trying to find some living creature to die and struggle, if you want to be like her, touch it." ”

Qu Yue turned his head, glared at his eyes and shouted angrily, "Don't you feel anything when you see a person die in front of you?" You still have no humanity! ”

The man held up the lamp in his hand, lowered his head slightly, and looked at the two girls at his feet expressionlessly.

He is like a handsome sculpture, every detail is impeccable, but it lacks the kind of thing called "feeling", which only living creatures should have.

"I'm not human, how can I talk about human nature?"

The man asked with a little surprise, "Do you feel sad when you see a kitten and puppy dead on the side of the road?" ”

Qu Yue replied without thinking: "Of course it will, how pitiful!" ”

The man blinked, his long eyelashes casting a large shadow under his eyes.

He and Qu Yue stared at each other for a while, obviously they both felt that there was something wrong with each other's brains.

Zhao Xinning's body shrank smaller and smaller, and in just a moment's effort, only a handful of thin bones remained, and the shadow of the originally lively and cheerful young girl was completely gone.

Large expanses of black smoke drifted from her body. The black smoke was made up of countless tiny black powders, and although they had left her body, they still lingered around her, refusing to disperse.

The man suddenly stepped forward, grabbed Qu Yue's shoulders and dragged her back.

"What are you doing!"

Qu Yue glared at him and shouted angrily, "You inhuman monster, don't touch me!" ”

“……”

Qu Yue glared at him angrily.

"Don't get too close to that thing, if it gets on you, I'll even deal with you."

"So what?"

"Then I'm going to be inhuman again."

There seemed to be a hint of sarcasm in his tone. The movements of her hands were not slow, and when she saw the black smoke sticking towards Qu Yue's body, she used her hand again and dragged her back for a while.

Qu Yue flailed his limbs, trying to stop him. However, this person's strength was too great, and the little girl's resistance was not even tickling in his eyes, and he easily dragged her aside.

Zhao Xinning's body was completely enveloped in black smoke, and even his figure was blurred. The black smoke gathered together, constantly changing shape, as if trying to return to her body.

The thin human body in the black smoke trembled slightly, and let out a moan not much bigger than the kitten's hum.

Qu Yue's tears that she couldn't hold back fell again.

She sat on the ground, covering her face and crying, as she stretched out her leg and kicked the leg of the man next to her.

The man still stood straight, as if the muffled sound had not come from his lap at all, and there was not even a trace of shaking.

Qu Yue herself knew that she was making trouble. There is nothing wrong with the man's behavior, he is just doing what he is supposed to do, and it is the right thing to do, whether intellectually or emotionally, she is not qualified to blame anything.

But watching the death of her best friend is still an unacceptable thing for her, and her heart seems to be blocked with a breath, so that she can't even breathe smoothly, and can only vent this bad mood on the person next to her.

Fortunately, the man didn't mean to be angry, he still maintained that unchanged face, staring at Zhao Xinning in front of him, and didn't care about the girl tossing at his feet.

Qu Yue kicked for a while, not only did it have no effect, but his calf was numb by the force of the shock, so he had to retract his leg unwillingly.

"Kicked?"

The man asked in a calm tone with his head down.

Qu Yue raised his head and glared at him angrily.

Why is this guy so the bones?

"Listen to me when you're done...... Your friend, there may still be salvation. ”

The man raised his leg, patted the footprints on his trouser leg, and said slowly: "She hasn't eaten it for a long time, so now although the blood clotting worms have come out, she hasn't lost her breath yet." But she already had a very serious injury on her body, and it was the blood clotting worm in her body that helped her mend the wound, and now the worm has come out, and her injury has recovered. And as soon as the worm came in and out, it was also a big loss to her, so if no one saved her, she wouldn't live long. Do you understand what I mean? ”

"Can you save her?"

Qu Yue looked up at the man beside her with tears in her eyes, and her tone of voice sounded like a homeless stray dog, pitiful: "I, I scolded you before and beat you, I'm sorry...... I apologize to you, if you get angry, you can scold you back, or call back...... As long as you can help me save Ning Ning......"

She stumbled to say such a paragraph, and seeing that the man still didn't react, she carefully added: "If you want to hit me, be lighter, I'm afraid of pain, and I'm not as strong as you." ”

"Hmmm......"

The man looked down at her and groaned for a moment.

Qu Yue only felt that her heart was being hung up again.

The man lowered the lamp, leaned close to her face, and asked meaningfully, "What if I want something else?" ”

The breath of his voice gently fluttered on Qu Yue's face, with some kind of beast-like aura.

Qu Yue's body stiffened for a moment, and he couldn't help but turn his face away from looking directly at the dazzling silver flames around him.

After a long time, she asked in a low voice: "You...... That one...... So what do you want? ”

As soon as she said this, she bit her lower lip, as if she was suffering from something.

"I'm kidding, I don't want anything."

The man took back the lamp, and the tone of his voice did not fluctuate, but with the content of his words, it made people feel particularly underwhelmed: "Besides, you don't have anything that I can see, so forget it." I just think you've just scolded me, and I'm not very happy, and scaring you is just revenge. ”

As he said this, he walked among the plants that were still alive in front of him with a lamp, and raised his hand and snapped his fingers when he passed by Zhao Xinning's side.

A whirlwind rose out of thin air from under his feet, swirling around his body, blowing away a large cloud of black smoke around him.

Without the obscuration of black smoke, Zhao Xinning's figure gradually became clearer.

The plants that had been illuminated by the light in his hand were still withering rapidly, and fine black smoke burst out from the plant debris, and were blown away by the whirlwind blowing around him, completely disappearing from Qu Yue's sight.

"I'll be honest with you, I'll only kill people, not save people."

The man's voice came from afar, and through the wind, it didn't sound real: "But it's true that I said that your friend is still saved, but it's not me who can save her." I just said that she still has one breath, but she only has one breath left, and I don't know where the person who can save her is now, so whether she can survive or not depends on her luck. ”

Although his words were not long and his tone was cold, they fell on Qu Yue's ears and brought her a rollercoaster-like experience. One sentence knocked her mood to a low point, and the next sentence pulled her to the peak, this sentence gave hope, and the next sentence made her completely desperate.

This man's personality is simply terrible! He still has a handsome face with an iceberg facial paralysis, why is his personality so strange!

Qu Yue thought angrily, and moved closer to Zhao Xinning.

Zhao Xinning's original height was a little more than 1.7 meters and weighed more than 110 pounds. Before, she always thought she was too tall and fat, afraid that she wouldn't find a boyfriend. Can ...... now She looked like an eleven or twelve-year-old child, the one who was extremely malnourished. There was also a particularly tragic wound on the back of the back, almost tearing her waist horizontally.

Probably because the blood in the body was sucked away by the insects, there was not even much blood oozing out of the wound, only a little yellowish liquid stuck near the wound.

Aside from the faint heaving of her chest, it was almost impossible to tell that she was alive.

"Ningning ......"

Qu Yue whispered in her ear: "Ning Ning, wake up, I'm Yueyue!" ”

Zhao Xinning shrank on the ground angrily, not responding to her shouts at all.

The man carrying the lamp walked farther and farther, and when Qu Yue raised his head again, he could only see a vague back.

"Hey!"

She shouted loudly at the man's back: "You just said that the person who can save Ning Ning doesn't know where he is, so can you tell me who he is?" What if I wanted to go to him, and ...... Ning Ning is like this, can I take her away? ”

"You can move her around and see if she breaks in two."

The man's cold voice came from a distance, and no matter how you heard it, it was a little gloating.

Qu Yue reached out and touched Zhao Xinning's body.

As the man said, her body could no longer withstand any external force.

Qu Yue even felt that if she used a little more force, she could directly break her bones.

She sat beside Zhao Xinning at a loss, and once again sighed that she was so useless, except for sitting here and crying, she couldn't think of anything she could do at all.

She couldn't even make Zhao Xinning's death easier.

So she had to give up thinking, bury her head in her knees, pretend to be an ostrich, and cry silently.

Zhao Xinning's breathing became weaker and weaker, but his face gradually began to show a painful expression.

The man carried a silver lamp, and after taking a turn in this endless "sea of flowers", he returned to Qu Yue's side again.

"Are you done crying?"

He lowered his head, looked at Qu Yue who was squirming for a while, and frowned slightly: "Don't cry if you don't finish crying, your friend is very lucky, and the person who can save her is coming here now......"

Qu Yue raised her head suddenly, and a pair of swollen eyes that only had only one slit left flashed with excitement.

"But this place is a bit ...... You know what. That guy has been walking around several times, and he probably can't find his way, do you want to show him the way? ”

"I'll go!"

Qu Yue jumped up with a "swish", but because he sat for too long, his legs were a little numb, and he almost fell to the ground again.

The man reached for her collar and pointed to the wall with the hole in it, and raised his chin.

"It's over there, the way the little fox brought you. Go find someone surnamed Ye and bring him to me. ”

"Oh, good!"

Qu Yue nodded like garlic, turned around and ran in the direction he came.

She stood by the wall, poked her head over, and as if she thought of something, she turned back to the man and asked, "That, the person surnamed Ye you said can really save Ning Ning, right?"

"He can save it, but I don't know if I want to."

The man gave her a meaningful look: "When the time comes, it depends on how you 'work hard', I can't help you anyway." ”

Qu Yue turned his head, stared at the wall in front of him, closed his eyes and took a deep breath, and when he opened his eyes again, the expression on his face showed a little resolute expression for the first time.

There was even a bit of murder in his eyes.

She turned her back to the man, waved her hand, shouted "thank you", and quickly slipped through the hole in the wall and disappeared from the man's sight.

The man carried the lamp, looked at the dark stone room on the other side of the wall, and finally showed a smile on his face after listening to Qu Yue's footsteps getting farther and farther away.

He squatted down, placed the lamp beside Zhao Xinning, and reached out to light it on her forehead.

"This friend of yours is quite interesting, I'll help you in her face."

The moment his fingers touched the skin on Zhao Xinning's forehead, there seemed to be a flash of silver light.

Zhao Xinning's breathing, which had almost stopped, recovered a little again.

"This time it can only help you last a quarter of an hour, as for whether you can survive in the end, it depends on how much benefit your friend can give Ye Baiyu."

He stared at Zhao Xinning's wrinkled face because he was too thin, and he didn't know what to think, so he smiled softly.

"Or if she can get that guy in some trouble and give him a headache, I'll make an exception and help you."

The painful look on Zhao Xinning's face became more and more serious, and the eyeballs under his eyelids began to rotate continuously, and his body shrank into a ball even harder, shaking constantly.

It's like a nightmare.

"Human!"

The man sat on the ground and sighed leisurely.

"Why are they all so vulnerable?"
