Chapter 165: The Judge
And I, as if I had given up completely, just stood upright, waiting for my fate.
At this moment, I don't know if it was the soaring yin qi emitted by the zombies around me that alarmed the birds in the nest, and the leaves sounded rapidly, and the sound of flapping wings flew up in groups, and the sharp birdsong resounded in the sky.
Almost at the same time, the zombies in three directions flew up as fast as lightning, two grabbed my arm, the other hugged my thigh, and "General Tao" raised his knife again and slashed at my head!
"Ahh With a flash of cold light, I let out a terrible scream, and then fell into motion.
In a moment, the birds from the nest had flown away, the wind had stopped, and the woods had regained their dead silence.
After a long time, I could faintly hear a voice again, it was the sound of footsteps, step by step, slowly walking towards me surrounded by zombies.
When he got closer, he reached out to hold up the drooping head of his target, and then let out a surprised "huh". Not only because this face was not the person he expected, but also because his wrist had been firmly clamped by the other hand at this time, and a cold blade had reached his throat silently.
"You ......" his tone was full of disbelief, "how could it be ......"
"Hehe, how can you come out if you don't!" The man with the knife laughed.
The gust of wind rose again, causing the branches to sway violently, and a few rays of light finally had a chance to shine into the woods through the gaps in the branches and leaves, and shine on the faces of the two men. One of them, of course, is me, but instead of being a prey all the time, I've become a hunter! Because at this time, it was me who put the knife on the other person's neck!
And when I saw the other party's face clearly through this faint light, I was still taken aback: "It's actually you!" ”
At the same time as my exclamation, Tao Zhihuan also exclaimed in my heart: "Du Zifeng! ”
At this time, the puzzled look on the other person's face had flashed, and in an instant it had changed into a faint and smiling expression, and his eyes looked at me obliquely as if he had not woken up, just as I had seen him a few months earlier.
His eyes glanced over to the five zombies, and he immediately understood. I saw that the one who was hugged in the arm and thigh and stabbed in the head was the one who had been holding me behind my back at that time.
"You...... When did you swap with him? I didn't even notice it. "Even though he was already meat on someone else's chopping block, the tone in which he spoke to me was still like a family routine.
"Just a little bit before you concentrate on manipulating them into encircling me." I laughed.
"Since you can break free from him, why don't you do it sooner?"
"I don't know, I feel intuitive, I always think that it will be more miraculous to get rid of him at the most critical time, but I didn't expect the effect to be so good."
That's right, in the chaos that no one noticed, I fell out with the guy behind me and let him be my substitute. Not only that, but I also found an opportunity to take Quenyue back from General Tao, holding it in my hand and waiting for the opportunity.
And the premise of this risky move is one of my speculations.
Tao Zhihuan's family died a few months ago, and now he suddenly stands like this, which is more appropriate than a zombie. Yue Ningmei said before that since it is a corpse, it is like a puppet, and it can be completely at the mercy of others. In addition, these zombies also deliberately introduced me into this dark wood, and then cooperated with each other to attack, no matter how you look at it, someone is secretly planning and manipulating.
So I came to the conclusion that there must be someone else behind the scenes!
I heard that this kind of person also has a special name, called "Corpse Dance Judge". In the earliest days, because someone died in a foreign land, and it was inconvenient to transport the corpse by ordinary means of transportation, in order to return to his hometown for burial, he specially entrusted this person to manipulate the corpse to act like a living person, and walked all the way back to his hometown.
Unexpectedly, later, the original convenience measures began to be used to do some shady things. After all, compared to puppet props, the corpse has a greater deterrent, and the control of people's minds is also the best, today I was fortunate to see another magical effect of it, that is, the use of family bonds, to make people can't bear to hurt them, can only be captured, it's really a lack of virtue to get home!
This is the reason why my body was abnormal just now, which should be caused by Tao Zhihuan's strong mental power when facing his loved ones. Even if the other party turns into a zombie, he can't be ruthless!
However, no matter how capable the Corpse Dance Judge is, he is still human, and he can't go too far when manipulating corpses to attack, and the accuracy of his attacks is very dependent on environmental factors, such as light. In such a dark wood, he could only judge the location of the target based on his figure, and there was no way to look too closely before he was deceived by my bag drop scheme.
"Say, how did you get these corpses?" As soon as I saw that this sneaky person who hurt people with secret arrows was Du Zifeng, who had betrayed my Tao family, I immediately thought about it and asked sharply.
"How did you get it, they were buried here!" He said lightly.
"How do you know where they are buried? Were you around when they had an accident? ”
He snorted and said, "Sort of." ”
"Could it be...... Did they do something to you? When I said this, I felt a chill down my spine.
Who knew that as soon as he heard me ask, Du Zifeng suddenly laughed.
"What's so funny?!" I asked with a little bit of strength in my hand with the dagger, looking a little embarrassed.
"I went out with some medicinal incense, I was looking for a chance to see if I could leave the Blood Rock Furnace, but I didn't expect that to happen! Do you think this counts as my hands? He finally stopped laughing and said with a little banter.
"Medicinal incense? What medicinal fragrance? ”
"It's a medicinal fragrance that lets you know what's going on in your heart." He said.
As soon as I heard this answer, I immediately thought of the incense I smelled in the dungeon of Yue Yao Villa, but if it was just that kind of incense, I could have experienced it, how could it cause such serious consequences?
I then asked tentatively, "You mean, that medicinal incense makes Tao ...... My father had a vision? ”
"Vision?" Du Zifeng pursed his lips disdainfully and said, "That's not an illusion, that's the old man's truest thoughts." Maybe he has wanted to bury your Tao family completely for a long time, but he has been controlled by reason. Tell you, my incense will not give you any illusions, only the most real yourself!
