Chapter Forty-Eight: The Cockroach Is Dead as a Matchmaker
"Danger! Get out of here! ”
The location in front of me was an empty block, gloomy and flickering with the light of a few flashlights, and after I shouted a warning, several people in front of me were frightened, even if they didn't see what was happening, they fled one after another, hiding behind cover and pulling out their guns, looking for a target to face in the unknown. Someone was contacting Guo Zheng through the intercom, reporting the situation here and asking for support.
I turned around and was surprised to see that just behind me, there were about a dozen spatial rifts, scattered there irregularly, and in the faint light, I could vaguely see the interior of Muzhang County.
The leader appeared in front of us with a team of people, and the paper man who was broken in half by Jiang Xun just now stood in her hand after finishing the book, and looked carefully, there was a trace of sewing in the cracked place, a very fine silver filament, with a faint fluorescence all over the body.
"If you can escape from the formation, you are really not ordinary people." The leader spoke, and with a wave of his right hand, the metal clanged against the ground, and I looked down to see that it was the coffin nail.
"This is the grievance between all the clansmen in Muzhang County and them, no one can control it, if you regret it now and want to leave, maybe there will be a chance." The chief looked at me and said, "But if you insist on opposing me, you will not escape a second time in the same way." ”
"Shopkeeper Shen." Tang Jiao stood behind me and looked at the corpse on the ground with trembling legs, "I said a long time ago that we shouldn't be involved in this matter, this is their karma, let's go quickly." ”
Human life is at stake, I ignored his words, now that there is no suppression of the formation, we can mobilize our true qi at will, she wants to achieve her goal, start killing here, it's not that simple.
"Stand back." Jiang Xun stopped what Tang Jiao wanted to say, stood beside me, and glanced at me, "Since you can't escape, it's better to send the Buddha to the west and make a complete end to this matter together." ”
The corners of my lips pursed, the hostility towards him at first sight had long since disappeared after this experience, and I bowed my head and stood on the same front as him.
The tart whip was stained with venom and blood, and I didn't have a weapon at hand for a while, so I distanced myself a little from them.
Jiang Xun also carried the bow and arrow he used when he was in Muzhang County, and stood at the forefront to resist the next move of the leader with me.
Seeing that we had no intention of retreating, Tang Jiao grabbed his hair and sighed heavily, ran far away, and hid behind the guns of the police behind him.
"Ziwei, you go to Tang Jiao's side and protect them." I said, "Pay attention to any other cracks nearby, and let me know as soon as Guo Zheng comes." And, most importantly, tell them to cordon off the surrounding area as much as possible, don't let unrelated people break in, use cold weapons as much as possible during the fight, and don't shoot when there is no threat to their lives. ”
"Master, I'm ......"
I rolled my eyes, he frowned, his eyes didn't speak, he bit his chin, glanced at Jiang Xun and turned his head away, with a sense of resentment, a pair of fists clenched to the death, to do what I told him.
Since leaving Dongyan Town, Ziwei has become more and more strange, and many behaviors have not been done before by him, and his thoughts are getting deeper and deeper. But at the moment, I don't have time to ponder his thoughts, if this is considered an invasion, Jiang Xun and I are the first line of defense to stop them, as long as we can still carry it, we must not dodge and retreat.
It's just that the people on the other side pounced straight up one by one like wild beasts, and the way of attacking was different from that in Muzhang County, as if they didn't know how to use the weapons in their hands anymore, they relied on their brute force alone, punches and kicks and kicks, and there was no way to do it, but because of the huge strength, people couldn't resist it, and even Jiang Xun was losing and retreating. What's even more bizarre is that their reaction to our attack is like the little mute and Mu Jinshu who were controlled in the formation at that time, they have completely lost their senses, even if their shoulders are dislocated, they have to rush up uselessly with an arm that is already uncontrollable.
It's weird.
"Jiang Xun." I took a few steps back, "Cover me." ”
He must have noticed the strange thing in it, and immediately guarded it in front of me, and put the tart demon whip together as one, and stopped the approaching clansmen in front of him.
I closed my eyes, covered my hands in front of my eyes, took a deep breath, put all my energy on my forehead, brushed the middle finger from the front of my eyes, and when I opened it again, I crossed Jiang Xun to see through those messy bodies.
They were obviously still active and obeying the orders of their leader, but in my sight, there was not the slightest trace of life in these people, not only the yang fire was extinguished, but there was no breathing fluctuation in the chest and abdomen, and the heart was not beating, I could not even see the soul in their body, the only place in their body that could be regarded as life activity was the turbid qi in their brains that was neither yin nor yang.
I couldn't figure it out, so I turned around and looked at Mu Jinji.
The little mute withstood Jiang Xun's attack, although the person was awake, but he was seriously injured, lying in Mu Jinshu's arms at this time, no matter what Mu Jinshu said, she didn't react, neither cried nor moved.
Although the physical signs of these two people are the same as those people, I can still see their souls, especially Mu Jinshu, her body has an extra layer of qi than the others, like a protective shield, shrouded in her body, looking through this layer, in her brain, the turbid qi is static, only condensed into a circular air mass, without any activity.
I was at a loss and couldn't find a reasonable explanation for this phenomenon, and when I accidentally glanced at it, a woman appeared next to Mu Jinshu in the afterglow.
I'm not unfamiliar with that appearance, I've seen it in the murals in the tomb, it's the previous leader of Muzhang County, Mu Jinshu's sister!
The figure is extremely faint, just a wisp of remnants.
But why is she here? For so many years, she has never stepped into reincarnation and has been staying by Mu Jinshu's side?
As I looked at her, she noticed my realization, and she turned around, looked at me for a few seconds, and opened her hand to me, and her empty palm turned into a form with a part of her own breath, a cockroach.
Still dazed, I watched as she slowly opened her mouth to me, without a sound, and only spoke two mouths to me.
Person......
Idol......
Dolls?
Dolls!
I probably know what the leader's wooden box contains, Mu Jinshu said that we have all been poisoned by cockroaches, and if we want to survive, we must implant an adult female worm in our bodies, and then stay in the barrier forever. The first time we found a cockroach on that dead corpse, it was taken from his head, so the most plausible explanation now is that the cockroach is not a weapon for the leader to complete the plan, but as a medium that allows her to control the life and death and actions of everyone in Muzhang County.
Like the puppets we met in Dongyan Town, these people in front of us are just a bunch of puppets controlled by invisible threads, and the one who gives the order is the paper puppet in the leader's hand, as for them, except for Mu Jinshu and the little mute, these people are afraid that they have already died in the disaster of the year, leaving behind only an empty shell, since many years ago, they have been relying on the cockroach in their bodies.
"Shen Qing?"
I came back to my senses from my trance and said to Jiang Xun: "These people are dead, attacking their brains with yang energy, and the cockroaches there are the key to their control!" ”
Jiang Xun's subordinates' movements froze for a moment, as if they didn't expect this to be the result, while he was holding the activation tart magic whip, I took out a few yang talismans, broke into their chaotic camp, and pasted a few talismans on the back of their heads between dodging.
The cockroach likes yin, and the corpse is also negative, after being dead for so many years, the state of the corpse is close to drying up to some extent, and at the moment of contact with the yang energy, the whole head of those people burst out with a large spark and burned.
The flames flickered, but the people were still moving, but they were disoriented, and they were no longer so powerful, and they waved their hands a few times in place, and finally they slowly fell, and the cockroaches that had been living in their brains, after the destruction of their nests, came out of their eyes, ears, noses, and mouths, and were weak and lying on the spot.
I used up all the remaining yang talismans in my body, and pulled a boundary in front of my eyes, restricting them from coming forward.
Jiang Xun seized the opportunity at this moment, rushed forward and aimed at the leader in the trance, unlike Mu Jinshu, she herself had no ability to protect herself at all, and was easily knocked to the ground, the wooden box broke open, and an egg-sized cocoon rolled out inside.
"No!"
The moment the tart whip flung down at the cocoon, the leader let out a roar, only to see it crack open, revealing the corpse of a dead cockroach inside.
I watched as the paper figure standing next to it had a gleam in my eyes again, and before anything could happen, I bent down to pick up the coffin nail on the ground and stabbed it a second time.
The patched thread was so fragile that it didn't have to be mended a second time, and it fell again, becoming two.
The formation that had only been activated was completely broken, the darkness overhead was dissipating, and the sun that appeared in Muzhang County came back again, and the light slowly fell on us, dispelling the chill and bringing warmth. And those people in Muzhang County who lost control just stood dumbfounded, and when they were exposed to the scorching sun, their bodies fell down in convulsions, and then they burned one after another.
"How so...... How so! The leader looked at the fallen man in front of him and stepped back step by step, "I obviously did what he said, why is this happening!" Why! ”
A light fell on her, and the face she had just recovered was scorched, like a shattered mask.
She screamed in pain and squealing in her throat, and even I felt my scalp tingle and I couldn't bear to look at it any longer.
Mu Jinshu put down the little mute in his arms, stood up and walked to us, took the bow on Jiang Xun's body with a trembling hand, aimed an arrow at her head, and let go of the hand that was full of strings.
The arrow pierced her brain with precision, and the sound stopped abruptly, and a dead silence was cast.
The cockroaches on the ground were wriggling violently, their bellies shrinking and shrinking, and they seemed to be about to start to multiply.
"Master." Ziwei came over and whispered, "Officer Guo is here." ”
"Let's go." Mu Jinzu's body trembled, endured his choked emotions, and said to us in a pleading tone: "Please, help me take care of the little mute, she is the only hope that we can survive in Muzhang County......"
"Miss Mu, what do you mean by this, aren't you going to leave with us?" Tang Jiao didn't know when he leaned over, "There are still so many insects here, it's too dangerous, you can come with us." ”
Mu Jinshu shook his head, "I can't leave, this is the evil result left by our generation, and it should be completely resolved if it drags on to this day." The scourge of cockroaches was caused by our people in the first place, and I should give an explanation to all innocent people. The barrier was built by my sister, and now that it's like this, I have to go back to my own land and let it all be at peace. ”
