Chapter 24: Confused

Jiang Xiao stood up and looked at the inhuman-shaped corpse of Li Qin on the ground, and suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart.

Why...... Looking at this bloody corpse, I didn't feel the slightest discomfort?

Jiang Xiao's psychological quality, although it has always been an outstanding level, if he had changed before, it would not have been possible to face such a tragic corpse and be indifferent at all.

He's not cold-blooded. In front of a person's corpse, the flesh and blood are blurred, even if you don't talk about fear or disgust, but there should always be a little bit of psychological resistance.

But whether it was when Fang Fang used his bone claws to stir on Li Qin's body, or now when he watched the marching ants gnaw the meat on his chest, Jiang Xiao's heart did not fluctuate at all. It's like the piece of meat in front of you is not your own kind at all, but the pork and beef on the board in the vegetable market.

Myself...... Why did it become the way it is?

Since when...... What got started?

Jiang Xiao's heart sank again, and he remembered the scene when Ziyan died beside him.

Both arms and legs evolved into poisonous bees to bombard Dark Flame, and two large holes were opened in his chest by Dark Flame's burning fist, and the purple smoke at that time looked not far behind the current Li Qin's miserable state.

However, Jiang Xiao felt sad and regretful for Ziyan's death, but he didn't feel anything about her appearance.

All he was thinking about at the time was a headacheβ€”

It was a corpse, a corpse in his own car.

I'm going to deal with this corpse.

That's all. No nausea, no gagging, no discomfort from seeing a human body destroyed and mutilated.

Myself...... Is it sick?

Jiang Xiao squatted in front of Li Qin's corpse, staring at him, trying his best to get back that feeling, but he couldn't.

"Jiang Xiao ......"

Finally, it was Zhao Tianyu's voice that broke the chaos in Jiang Xiao's mind.

Jiang Xiao turned his head and saw that Zhao Tianyu was struggling to sit up from the ground, still gasping for breath, and there was unconcealable horror in his eyes.

"Jiang Xiao?"

Zhao Tianyu was holding on to the railing of the stairs, the flushing on his face due to suffocation had not completely subsided, the hem of his bathrobe was messy, and his legs were trembling uncontrollably.

Jiang Xiao in front of him, his face was covered with scarlet blood, it was simply ...... It's not the Jiang Xiao I once knew!

And this bald tall man who broke in, just now, he was almost abused to death by him!

And now, he has been taken away by Jiang Xiao, turned into a mutilated corpse, and fell to the ground.

Jiang Xiao's body...... What exactly is going on!

Why did that man come to kill him, why did he have this speed and strength that was not human, and ...... Atrocious?

Why did Jiang Xiao suddenly become the same as that man...... Even stronger, faster, and more ...... than him Atrocious?

A series of questions were held in Zhao Tianyu's throat, but he didn't know how to ask, so he could only look at Jiang Xiao directly.

She even wished it was a nightmare and would wake up quickly.

"Rain, I ......"

Jiang Xiao stood up and turned his head to face Zhao Tianyu, not knowing how to explain everything.

In his own heart, it was also a mess at the moment.

The two of them didn't say a word again, just looked at each other quietly, and their eyes were indescribably complicated.

As time passed, Fang Cai's shock and numbness gradually receded, and Zhao Tianyu's heart was gradually occupied again by the fear that he had not reacted to just now.

She had been biting her lower lip repeatedly until the blood came out, and she finally confirmed that it was not a dream.

And since it's not a dream......

If Jiang Xiao hadn't killed that man just now...... What will you become of yourself now?

Zhao Tianyu tried his best to control himself and keep himself from thinking, but he couldn't control his thoughts. In my mind, my naked carcass, which had been tortured to the point of being inhuman, and had lost its life, appeared and disappeared again and again.

At last, her legs went limped again, and she fell to her knees with a rapid gasp, and she could no longer suppress her crying.

The fear that had been forcibly suppressed for a long time finally broke out.

Jiang Xiao sighed softly, walked to Zhao Tianyu, who was already crying to the point of almost collapse, gently picked her up in his arms, and walked into the guest room.

......

Zhe Yu sat in the car, looking at Jiang Xiao's house on the side of the road through the one-way glass, with no expression on her face, only disbelief, disappointment, and confusion in her eyes.

Jiang Xiao...... I really didn't lie.

If Jiang Xiao had lied to Li Qin just now, then Jiang Xiao would be dead by now.

But Jiang Xiao did not die, but it was Li Qin who died, and it was Li Qin who firmly believed in his heart that the "No. 15 computer room of Prosperity Middle School" was a lie.

Therefore, what Jiang Xiao said is true. In Ziyan's last words, that information was indeed in that computer.

But why...... Why can't I find it?

Why!

Ochre clenched her fists hard, her heart full of doubt and anger.

The phone rang.

Zhe Yu took out her mobile phone from her pocket, lowered her head, and saw that it was Jiang Xiao who was calling. He hesitated for only a moment, then pressed answer.

"Zheyu, where are you?" Jiang Xiao's voice was very calm. If it weren't for Ochre Yu's other party, what happened to him would have been clear, and he would never have imagined that he had just experienced a life-and-death crisis.

"At school. Ochre replied without hesitation, "What's wrong?"

"Dark Flame...... There are still remnants alive who came to my house and attacked me just now. ”

"What!" Ochre Yu's voice was shocked, "This is impossible! Dark Flame has been killed by me, and several of his subordinates have all been purged. I did a thorough screening, and there was no way there would be any more that slipped through the net. ”

"Impossible?" Jiang Xiao snorted, "Then, have you ever heard the name Li Qin?"

Zhe Yu was silent for a moment before he said, "The person who attacked you is Li Qin?"

"Yes. He made it clear that he was a subordinate of Dark Flame. ”

β€œ...... I'm sorry, Jiang Xiao ......" Ochre Yu said astringently: "I...... I didn't expect Li Qin to be a dark flame person. In the internal organization of the academy, he did not belong to the Dark Flame Command. I only screened Dark Flame's subordinates, but I didn't expect ......"

"I don't want your apology. Jiang Xiao coldly interrupted Zheyu: "What is the point of apologizing for me? What I want to ask is, how can you guarantee that this kind of thing will not happen again?"

"I ......" Ochre smiled bitterly: "I'm sorry, I really don't know." Since the people who are loyal to the Dark Flame are not limited to his subordinates in the Academy, then I can't be sure if there are any other hidden remnants of the Dark Flame in the Academy. And I'm not sure if the fact that you have Ziyan's last words will spread more widely and let the awakened outside the academy know about it. So ......"

"So you can't help it, right?" Jiang Xiao sneered: "Okay." I know. ”

"Wait, Jiang Xiao. Zhe Yu hurriedly stopped Jiang Xiao from hanging up the phone: "You...... Li Qin he ...... I mean, how did you get out? There's a chance he's going to go after you. ”

"Maybe someone else, but it won't be him. Jiang Xiao was silent for a moment: "Li Qin is dead." ”

"Dead?" Ochre was shocked, "You...... Did you kill him? This is impossible! I know very well Li Qin's skills, you have not fully awakened, and it is impossible for you to be his opponent. How did you do that?"

"I'm sorry, but it's none of your business. Jiang Xiao responded unceremoniously.

"Okay......" Zheyu sighed, "Then what are you going to do next?" do you need me to arrange a safe place for you to live first?"

"Let's talk about it. I will contact you again if needed. After Jiang Xiao finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

Before Ochre could say something, the phone was already ringing. He smiled bitterly, looked at Jiang Xiao's room again, sighed softly, and then redialed a number on his mobile phone.

After a moment of froze after the call, Ochre shook her head, started the car, and drove towards the outside of the community.

......

Jiang Xiao hung up the phone and slowly stood up from a squatting position, holding an electronic device the size of a bean in his hand.

The marching ants that evolved from the purple smoke cells ate Li Qin's corpse, leaving only the clothes on his body and this gadget.

Although he had never seen it before, Jiang Xiao recognized it at a glance that it was a pickup.

And looking at its size, the power will never be great. This means that it will never be too far away.

In other words, the person listening on the other end of the pickup is likely to be nearby.

Jiang Xiao was not surprised. In fact, when he had said that answer to Li Qin earlier, he had already guessed that someone was remotely listening to everything that was happening in this room.

If it weren't for this, it would be impossible for Li Qin to struggle to ask Ziyan's last words before he died.

And Jiang Xiao answered his question, of course, not to make Li Qin's death blind, but to hope that the person who was eavesdropping on the other end of the pickup, or the force, could stay away from him.

Because Jiang Xiao knows very well that he has no value, what is valuable is the last words left by Ziyan. More precisely, that "seed".

And the best way to get yourself out of it completely is to stop that secret from being a secret.

But...... That person, whether he would believe it or not, Jiang Xiao was not sure at all in his heart.

Jiang Xiao sighed lightly, let the dense marching ants crawl back on his body, turned into cells and integrated into his body, and looked at the mess at home with a wry smile.

Although Li Qin's corpse had been disposed of by the marching ants, the blood stains on the floor and walls could not be erased.

There are also cracks in the walls, broken furniture and appliances......

Damn, why should my life be messed up like this!

Jiang Xiao crushed the pickup hard, and his heart was full of boredom.

He looked up at the time, it was only noon, and there were still hours left in the evening.

If you stay here, there may be danger. Especially now in this family, he is not alone.

Zhao Tianyu can no longer be implicated!
