Chapter 19: The Chrysalis
The black shadow jumped off the bed, stepped on a pool of blood and walked to the corpse and squatted down, pulling Su Lin's corpse in front of Luo Huainan and burying the black part of its suspected head in the corpse's chest.
"Click...... Click...... Kao......"
The tooth-aching sound of chewing came from the black shadow, and it began to gnaw from the position of Su Lin's chest, and the flesh and blood were chewed together with the sinews and bones.
It was gnawing fast, and soon the corpse's torso was left with bones, and it was breaking those bones one by one, chewing them one by one like a chicken crunchy bone.
Luo Huainan looked at this scene and trembled, she still had the hope that the black shadow was Su Lin before, but now this hope has been shattered, anyone who sees this scene can understand that the monster in front of her cannot be Su Lin.
When the demon stretched out his hand to Su Lin's face, Luo Huainan's spirit was in a trance for a moment.
Seeing Su Lin's body gradually change into an appearance that she couldn't look at directly, when she reacted, she had already come behind the monster with a broom and raised the broom high.
Luo Huainan aimed the broom at the monster's back and smashed it down, and the broom handle broke and flew out.
The black shadow's eating action stopped, and before Luo Huainan could react, a black thing swept out like lightning and threw it on Luo Huainan's body, and the huge force made her fly high like a sandbag......
……
The sky was full of snow, and half a month ago, the bandits came down the mountain, and everyone in the village ran out of food.
The sky is high here, the emperor is far away, and the officers and soldiers can't do anything about those bandits, how can her family survive this winter?
A familiar voice came from the thatched house, and a strange man said earnestly:
"Keep one, the family next door also sold the girl to us, it's better to follow me than to follow you, we'll leave tomorrow, you guys think about it."
"Is that to let Ah Hua go, or let Ah Dog go?"
"Let Ah Hua go, Ah Hua is beautiful and so well-behaved, there will be good people who take a fancy to her, maybe she will be bought by a broad master to be a concubine, and she will live better than us."
Father...... Mother...... Don't sell me, I eat very little and can do a lot of work.
"What stupid things do you two say, you're going to sell your daughter, and you still lie to yourself with such words, is it interesting? Of course, she went with me to be a prostitute in the Qinglou, how could she go to a rich and noble family to be a concubine!
But to tell the truth, it is better to sell yourself in that place than to follow you, how far is it from the capital, the officers and soldiers of the Yamen do not dare to fight the bandits, even if you keep her, you may be caught by the bandits on the mountain as a slave girl one day, those bandits are inhumane, and everyone is hungry to eat. ”
"That'...... Just let Ah Hua go, how much food can you give us? ”
"That's enough for you to survive this winter! Okay, sign and draw, and I'll take her away later. ”
The snow was pouring down, the sky was dark, and the darkness quickly enveloped Luo Huainan's vision.
Don't, Dad, Mother, I don't want to go, don't sell me!
Luo Huainan opened her eyes suddenly, and her violently fluctuating mood quickly calmed down in a short period of time, this dream, she has done it many times over the years, and she has long been used to it.
Luo Huainan sat up from the ground, suddenly remembered what happened before, and suddenly turned his head to look around.
The house was in a mess, Su Lin's body had disappeared, leaving a large area of dried blood stains on the ground, and a black figure was half-squatting on the ground, motionless, like a sculpture.
But this black shadow is not the black shadow before, the black shadow that killed the Taoist priest is an invisible black, and you can't see anything in the light on it, obviously it has a body, but it looks like a flat black painting.
But the black figure in front of him is three-dimensional, its surface exudes a porcelain-like luster, through the reflection of light, Luo Huainan can distinguish the shape of this black humanoid porcelain.
Although it is humanoid, the outline of its facial features is blurred, and it is not so much a human sculpture as a humanoid chrysalis.
The black human chrysalis stood in a half-crouching position on the largest pool of blood, like a stone that had existed here a long time ago, it had no movement, no danger, and no life.
"Kara!"
The sound of porcelain shattering came from the sculpture, and several criss-crossing cracks appeared on the face of the humanoid porcelain, and the black porcelain pieces peeled off the surface of the sculpture after shattering.
Luo Huainan vigilantly picked up the broken broom handle on the ground, stared directly at the humanoid porcelain in front of her, she moved slowly, looked into the crack of the black sculpture, her pupils suddenly contracted, and she found that it was human skin inside!
Luo Huainan opened his mouth wide, his eyes widened, and he looked at this scene in disbelief.
Although only half of her face was exposed, Luo Huainan could tell that it seemed to be Su Lin's face, her tense body relaxed a little, and she cautiously leaned forward.
"Forehead ......"
An extremely slight sigh woke Luo Huainan, who threw away the handle of her broom and stretched out her trembling fingers towards the porcelain man's rift......
"Brother Su Lin."
The call was distant and ethereal, like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, and Su Lin's thoughts stirred up ripples.
He came to his senses from an endless heated argument and came to his senses.
Su Lin opened his eyes with difficulty, and the black powder rustled from his eyelids.
He felt like his body was wrapped in an invisible layer of armor, but the helmets were not strong, and it only took a little force to break free.
By the way, I remember, I'm still fighting that evil cultivator!
Su Lin reacted suddenly, the control of the body completely returned to the body, he violently smashed the armor on his body, the porcelain layer on his face was cracked and fell off, and Su Lin finally saw the outside world.
The room was in a mess, covered with blood, his body was wrapped in a layer of hard and brittle enamel, and he was wearing no clothes, and Luo Huainan was standing in front of him, his expression was shocked.
"What about the Taoist priest?"
Su Lin staggered around and saw a torn corpse lying on the kang, his robe torn to shreds, and everything was understood.
The battle was over, and it ended without him being conscious.
So in the end, I still exploded?
Su Lin looked down at his abdomen, the wound that should have existed there had disappeared, but the location of the injury had undergone a strange change, and the skin that should have been soft had become smooth and hard, and it felt cold to the touch, very similar to the enamel that had wrapped him just now.
Su Lin turned to look at Luo Huainan, and as soon as he turned around, Luo Huainan immediately retracted his gaze, turned his back obediently and said, "I...... I'll help you get the clothes, are the clothes in the cupboard? ”
"I'll just take it myself." Su Lin opened the wooden box next to the bed, took out a set of clothes from it and quickly put them on.
While getting dressed, Su Lin inadvertently saw the shriveled corpse on the bed, and his brows furrowed.
He stepped forward a few steps and bent down to carefully observe the corpse parts left by Nan Zhixian, which were all very shriveled, as if the blood had been steamed and withered after being exposed to the sun for several days.
But Su Lin remembered that when he pinched the other party's wrist before, the other party's body overflowed with red viscous paste.
"Huainan, hide behind me."
Su Lin leaned over and picked up the Dongying knife on the ground, and looked around vigilantly.
This Taoist priest may not be dead yet.
