Chapter 40: The Missing Ones
Although Qu Ember was also in this huge stomach, he was covered with an invisible shield curse that separated him from the stomach acid that filled the air, so it was no big deal.
"Wave!"
Just when he thought he didn't have to worry, the invisible shield curse shattered.
Qu Ember didn't hesitate, and consumed two hundred energy points, inspiring a new layer.
As soon as the new invisible shield curse appeared, he felt a violent attrition, and it seemed that it would not last long.
Although he was locked in a huge stomach, there was no way out. But he didn't panic, looking at his constantly wriggling stomach, as if waiting for something.
"Wave!"
A short time later, the Invisible Shield curse shattered again.
Qu Ember continued to consume two hundred energy points, inspiring a new layer to cover him.
But he knew that this time he wouldn't last long.
Sure enough, after a while, the invisible shield curse exploded for the third time.
Next, Qu Ember activated the Invisible Shield Curse five times in a row, but the result was the same, and it didn't take long for all of them to burst.
On the other hand, the huge stomach has nothing unusual except for constant peristalsis and secretion of a large amount of highly corrosive gastric acid.
This made Qu Yan's heart begin to sprout a retreat.
Fortunately, at this moment, the big stomach that sealed him began to turn black. Clusters of mold-like stuff spread in all directions.
The big stomach, which was originally rhythmically wriggling, had convulsions and violent contractions.
Especially when the color began to darken when the clumps of mold began to deepen, and the stomach gave off a strong smell of decay.
Gaps appear in the stomach wall and slowly expand as they decay.
Qu Ember finally relaxed a little, because his "poison" attacked.
The banana given to the other party before was infused with seventy-eight disease sources obtained from Tang Shuang's body.
Although each of these disease sources is extracted from ordinary people, the seventy-eight fusions are like the poison formed by the blending of seventy-eight chemical reagents with different attributes, and the mutation cannot be withstanded.
The huge stomach rotted faster and faster, and the trend seemed unstoppable, and finally it collapsed, turning into a thick blood on the ground, and the dean's office was revealed again.
Everything was gone, and the walls were corroded and blackened, and puffs of smoke came out with a clattering sound.
A strong sour and foul smell hit the face.
At this moment, from outside the dean's office, there was a groan of pain.
The moans were not one, but several.
Qu Ember turned to leave the place, and when he opened the door, he saw the direction from which the moaning sound was coming from, at the end of the hallway.
He walked in the direction of the moaning sound and checked his energy through the system.
The invisible shield curse was used many times before, and only 3566 was consumed, and now there are 4177, an increase of more than six hundred.
But in Qu Yan's opinion, the increase is a little small.
He wondered if that huge stomach just now would be like an invisible giant condensed by the eye-gouging monster with slime.
In fact, there is one, or even several real culprits, behind the scenes.
Obviously, the real culprits behind this are the people who are moaning in pain, and they are also eroded by the seventy-eight sources of disease.
The dean is not the real dean, but the stomach of the culprit behind the scenes.
The stomach has been invaded by the virus, and of course the body cannot escape.
Walking all the way, Qu Ember saw that the doors of the rooms on both sides were open, and the inside was empty.
He reached the end of the hallway and looked at the three rooms with closed doors from which the moans were heard.
And strangely, after arriving here, two of the moans came to an abrupt end. At the same time, Qu Shen found that his energy value had increased by more than two thousand.
It made him guess something right away.
But he still looked through the lookout and into the two rooms in front of him, and found that it was pitch black.
Qu Ember didn't let his guard down, he pulled the pistol from his waist and kicked it on the door.
When the door slammed open, he saw that the walls of the dusty room were covered in blood-colored graffiti.
On the ground, there was a figure lying on its back.
It was a woman who looked to be forty or fifty years old, with long gray hair that was falling loose, and at this time she was covered in festering pus, with her mouth open and her eyes wide open.
Qu Ember felt that the other party's appearance was a little familiar, it should be a mental patient in the previous group photo.
But by this time she was dead, and the cause of death was the erosion of seventy-eight disease sources.
In addition, he noticed that there was an iron chain on the other party's ankle, and the iron chain was not tied to her, but inserted into her ankle and bone, and as the flesh and bone grew, it was tightly sewn.
At the other end, a huge rivet attached to the wall.
Qu Ember stepped back and kicked open the second door.
There was also a figure on the ground, an old man in a hospital gown. The other party lay motionless on the ground, the striped hospital gown had been soaked with thick water, and there was also no breath.
And on his ankle, too, pierced an iron chain.
After Qu Ember retreated, he came to the door of the last room and kicked it open.
A figure on the ground wearing a striped hospital gown with curled limbs was the first to attract Qu Yan's attention.
The other party was a man, although his lips were black, his face was dark, and there was a large area of ulceration on his body, but he was not dead.
But when he looked at Qu Ash, his eyes were full of horror.
On his ankle, too, there was a chain.
Qu Ember consumed two hundred energy points, used the magic sound spell, looked at the painful opponent on the ground and said, "Don't be afraid, I have no malice." ”
But the other party apparently did not believe his words, because the value of the lie did not increase.
Then I heard Qu Ember say, "I already know that you were the ones who were attacking me just now." ”
[Lie +9]
The sound of the system sounded.
This time, the other party believed him.
So he continued: "I even know that the three of you have taken the dean under control, made him your stomach, and helped you who can't leave here to eat, so that you can live. ”
[Lie +6]
The sound of the system came again. His guess was not wrong.
Then he heard him say, "Who locked you up here?" ”
The man in chains did not answer him.
In Qu Yan's expectation, the other party's spiritual power should be very strong, and the level of mutation is not low.
I only heard him say, "If you tell me, I can loosen the chains on you." ”
[Lie +32]
The sound of the system sounded.
This shocked Qu Ember's spirit, and at this time, his lie value had reached 1588/1600, and he was only 12 points away from obtaining a new curse.
"Pull ...... Pull Kill! ”
Said the man who was chained.
Qu Ember looked puzzled, because he didn't understand.
At this time, the other party pointed to it.
Qu Ember understood, what the other party said was upstairs.
It's just that he hasn't spoken for too long, and his language skills have deteriorated.
Qu Yan took out his mobile phone and opened the photo album, showed the other party Zhong Yao's photos, and asked, "Is it her?" ”
Seeing Zhong Yao's photo, the man showed obvious fear, he trembled and kept shrinking back, and the chain dragged on the ground with a grinding sound.
Qu Shen put away his phone, and he didn't know why these people were extremely afraid of that Zhong Yao.
So he changed his words, "There are some people on the fourth floor." ”
The other party just trembled in the corner and did not answer.
And when Qu Ember looked at it, he pointed to the chain on his foot and motioned for him to open it.
"Answer me, and I'll help you." Qu Ember said.
But the other party didn't believe him anymore and continued to point to the chain on his ankle.
Seeing that he couldn't ask anything, Qu Ember raised his pistol and aimed it at the chain on the other party's ankle.
At this time, I could see this man, his eyes gradually brightened, and there was even obvious excitement.
It's just that at the moment when Qu Ember fired, he aimed the muzzle of the gun at the man's head.
"Bang!"
A gunshot echoed throughout the room.
The man in the corner, a blood flower bloomed in the center of his eyebrows, and he fell down, his expression still frozen on his face.
Since you can't ask something from the other party, of course you can only kill it.
Qu Ember put away the gun, and felt that his energy value had increased by more than a thousand, reaching 7596, which made him very satisfied.
However, it can also be seen that this anomaly is definitely not simple. Fortunately, he was imprisoned here, and he was infected in advance with seventy-eight disease sources, otherwise he might not have been able to kill so easily.
Brush the lie value from the other party first, and then brush the energy value, this leek is cut beautifully.
Qu Ember left the place with the fruit and walked in the direction of the stairs.
When he reached the stairwell, he looked into the hallway at the other end.
He didn't plan to go over, because he already knew where Zhong Yao was, and he didn't want to cause more trouble.
But then he had the feeling that there were several pairs of eyes watching him in the dark corridor.
After thinking about it, Qu Ember used the magic sound spell that had not yet dissipated to open his mouth into the corridor and said, "Hello. ”
His voice fell, and the hallway fell silent.
After thinking about it, he listened to Qu Shen and said, "Can you tell me how many people there are on the fourth floor?" ”
But still no one answered him.
Qu Shen took out a red apple from the fruit bag, "Whoever can answer me, this apple will be given to him." ”
"Twenty-five!"
"Twenty-five!"
"Twenty-five people!"
Three voices came in a row.
The three voices sounded almost at the same time, and Qu Ember asked a question suddenly, so it shouldn't be possible for the other party to discuss it to lie to him, they were telling the truth.
Qu Ember smiled, then put the apple in his pocket, "Actually, I lied to you, and I won't give you the apple." ”
[Lie +11]
The system beeps out.
At this point, his lie value has reached 1599/1600, and he is only 1 point away from succeeding.
After being deceived by him, the corridor was extremely quiet, and I didn't know what the three invisible people were thinking.
Qu Ember thought for a moment, he plucked three bananas from his pocket, and said, "But I'll give you bananas." ”
With that, he threw three bananas into the darkness.
At the same time, in the darkness, there was a sound of shaking and scrambling, and it took a few moments before it stopped.
It is not a wise move to cheat on a mentally ill person, and it will be troublesome if the other party retaliates against him.
So after brushing the lie value, it's better to appease it a little.
After doing all this, Qu Ember walked towards the fourth floor.
The process of going up to the fourth floor was also extremely smooth, and at the same time, he found that the thick dust under his feet did not leave footprints, and it seemed that no one had come up all these years.
But there are twenty-five people on the fourth floor, and if these twenty-five people are all mentally ill, isn't it a bit too much?
He didn't back down, and when he came to the fourth floor, he saw the first room in the corridor on the left, and the word "activity room" was written on the door number.
As for the corridor on the right, it's groggy.
Qu Ember took the lead and walked towards the activity room.
"Wave!"
The moment he lifted his foot, the shield activated by the Invisible Shield Curse broke.
At the same time, his heart was pounding, and an inexplicable excitement and excitement arose in his heart.
There was no clue to this excitement and agitation, but it gave Qu Ash's adrenaline pump.
Qu Ember was startled, and without hesitation, he used the Invisible Shield Curse again.
It was only when an invisible shield enveloped him that the excitement and excitement began to wane. His beating heart slowly subsided.
Qu Ember turned his head to look at the corridor on the right, his eyes becoming sharper. Although he didn't see it, he had an intuition that the source of his inexplicable excitement and excitement was there.
But he suppressed the killing machine and walked to the activity room on the left.
Outside, he looked through the glass.
I saw that the activity room was very large, occupying a quarter of the area of the fourth floor.
On all four walls, there are stainless steel handrails, and on the wall in front of it is a huge mirror.
But what really attracted Qu Ember was the people with their feet off the ground, hanging from the ground.
Among these people, he saw that a few were dressed in old-fashioned city guard clothes, some were wearing blue guard uniforms and white lab coats, and the rest were dressed casually, just like ordinary people.
It's just that these people, without exception, have suspenders wrapped around their necks, and they should be dead, and they have been dead for a long time.
Qu Shen had already roughly guessed the identities of these people, who should be the people sent by the city guards back then, as well as the original medical staff of this hospital.
Although they all had their backs to Qu Ember, Qu Ember could still see the faces of these people through the huge mirror on the wall next to him.
They kept smiling, and their eyes seemed to be on him after Qu Ember appeared.
Even Qu Ember had an illusion that when he appeared, the smiles on the faces of these hanged people were even worse.
