Chapter 46: The Ghost Girl
Lu Lie knew very well that the voice was neither very beautiful, nor was it Li Yuan, nor was it either the cannibal or Yang Wei.
Could it be that there are really people living in this empty city?
It's indigenous?...... Or, like them, tree climbers who inadvertently broke into here?
Right now, everything is unknown. is like a dangerous and unknown game of fog chess, Lu Lie can't see the future clearly, all he can do is to take one step at a time.
He paused at the haunted crossroads, his large, cunning eyes turning twice in his sockets, and finally secretly clenched his fist, and walked in the direction of the sound in small steps.
At that moment, Lu Lie had already made his own decision, and he would go and meet the inhabitants of this strange city for a while.
He was as light as a cat, but swift as a man, and in the blink of an eye he passed through countless street shops to the end of a dilapidated alley, where the voices of women and children were sourced.
Before entering the alley, Lu Lie's pace slowed down for a moment, as if he was hesitating. The smarter people are, the more suspicious they are, and they are suspicious of the decisions they make. But Lu Lie had an indomitable, decisive and reckless courage in his bones, and it was this force that drove him into the alley. Because he knows that opportunities are often fleeting, if he stops here, then the next time he wants to meet the aborigines of this strange city, what information will he get, but he doesn't know when he will have to wait.
In front of the wall in the deepest part of the alley, Lu Lie saw a little boy of seven or eight years old leaning against the corner, his head bowed and his shoulders trembling slightly, as if he was enduring some great pain. A woman in an oil-stained cloth robe crouched in front of the little boy with her back to him, her head rising and falling, not knowing what she was doing. The two of them were almost close together.
From Lu Lie's point of view, it was impossible to see what they were doing at all.
This is in ...... Doesn't she keep kissing her son?
Lu Lie waited for a while, and saw that they had no intention of stopping. He had to apologetically decide to disturb them for a while.
"Sorry to excuse me, both. I want to ask......" Lu Lie was going to make a gentlemanly opening, he was personable, greeted them, and at the same time quietly stroked the long machete on his back. Seemingly casually walked into the alley.
The little boy held back the tears as big as pearls in the corners of his eyes, and raised his head to look at Lu Lie. At this time, Lu Lie realized that the little boy's skin had a sickly gray, which was definitely not the skin color of this normal person, just like this city, because no one had come for too long, and it was firmly wrapped in old ashes, and it was dirty. Lu Lie even felt that it was better to say that it was not so much a human boy as ...... He is more like a stone sculpture with rough workmanship, crying and moving.
However, fortunately, Lu Lie has never been an appearance association. He cares more about a person's mental aspects than about their appearance, for example, whether they are of use to himself.
"Be tolerant and patient, so that you can discover the beauty in others. Lu Lie cheered himself up.
The boy wiped the tears from his eyes and said to the woman who was still squatting in front of him, "Mom, that's enough...... Someone's coming. ”
The mother's back stopped writhing slightly, and she, or rather "it", slowly twisted her neck and glanced in the direction of Lu Lie at the mouth of the alley.
Although Lu Lie had already been prepared, for a moment, he still stopped beating his heart out of fear and trembling.
The damn woman, she even had raw flesh bitten off her son's belly in the corner of her mouth, blood dripping down the texture of Bai Huahua's flesh, dripping and dropping blood. The woman's face was dark cyan, as if she was wearing a bronze mask, and her face was square, which reminded Lu Lie of the two square-faced human sculptures guarding the door of the stone staircase before entering the tomb. There was no emotion in the woman's eyes, whether she was looking at her "son" or Lu Lie, she was as indifferent as if she was looking at a piece of meat.
That brute—she, was eating her son's flesh!
The woman moved.
"Damn!" Lu Lie roared, drawing his sword to protect the front of his body, and at the same time spat out a burst of flame from his mouth, and slammed towards the inhuman cannibal evil woman.
Lu Lie's attack under his anger was not trivial, and the fire dragon in his chest seemed to feel Lu Lie's anger, and the ferocious flames instantly engulfed the entire alley.
In the firelight, the woman ignored Lu Lie. I saw that her black shadow used both hands and feet, extremely flexible, and easily crossed the wall with one turn, and disappeared into the fog in the distance like a monkey.
"Not good!" Lu Lie saw that the fire in the alley was getting fiercer and fiercer, and secretly scolded himself for being reckless.
At this time, there was still an innocent little boy standing in the alley, under such a fierce barbecue, wouldn't he have already made cumin barbecue by himself? Lu Lie was frightened just now, and he didn't care about anything, and actually forgot about this stubble.
With a thought in his mind, he secretly transported the power of the ice python, and summoned a cold current from his mouth. As soon as the cold air was pressing, thin ice instantly formed on the three walls of the small alley, and the flames that were burning a moment ago also lost their arrogance in an instant.
At the same time, he used two opposing forces, and Lu Lie also felt dizzy and weak, and he almost couldn't stand steadily.
He held back his dazzle and looked deeper into the alley. The poor little boy who had been devoured by his mother was still standing in the alley, although he was not invaded by the fire, but he saw that a third of his chest and left arm had been eaten, and his abdomen was also hollowed, and blood and white pulp flowed down the trouser legs. Even a person who has no medical knowledge sees it and knows that he will not survive.
"You...... Are you alright?"
As soon as Lu Lie said this, he couldn't wait to give himself a big mouth. He was so frightened - what the was going to ask if he was okay? Shouldn't he hurry up and ask him what his dying wishes were before he was about to die?
Lu Lie immediately walked up half a step and changed his words: "You...... It hurts. If you want me to help you get rid of it, just a knife, very quickly. As he spoke, he raised the machete in his hand.
The little boy was very well-behaved: "Big brother, you are a traveler from outside." Don't worry about me. But you have to find a way to get out of here as soon as possible, if the traveler stays in this city for a long time, something terrible will happen. ”
Lu Lie's heart moved, he stared at the little boy's eyes without pupils, and threw out a lot of questions: "Tell my brother what happened in this city." Why did your mother become like this, and where did the rest of the city go?"
Hearing Lu Lei say this, the little boy's face suddenly showed an extremely frightened expression, which was like Lu Lie putting his feet into the tiger's mouth. His whole face was distorted, his teeth creaked up and down, he half-crouched on the ground holding his head (an action that accelerated the fall of his intestines), and shouted in an unusually frightened voice, "I don't know...... Please, let me go...... I really don't know! I don't know anything!"
