Chapter 225: Another Possibility
The life history of the monster bride made me very curious, but the most important thing at the moment was the demon pill, I checked it carefully, and the body was not as weak as I imagined, but the feeling of 'emptiness' was still there.
"Rest assured, you won't lose your abilities." The monster bride is still behind my back, she has my blood on her hands, but the demon pill is gone.
Gu Yu could guess my thoughts by looking at my expression, he pointed to the monster bride and said, "She ate it." β
Living in a complex environment for too long, I inevitably have some conspiracy theories, as soon as Gu Yu said that the demon pill was eaten by the monster bride, I immediately flashed a thought, she promised to help me solve the trouble, could it be because she wanted to get this demon pill?
My consciousness had just regained and my mind was a little unable to turn for a while, Gu Yu helped me, and I was still sitting on the wooden table in front of the coffee shop.
The sun stabbed my eyes, and I raised my hand to wipe the beads of sweat from Gu Yu's sideburns, and I sighed in my heart, even if the monster bride really wanted to take the opportunity to win the pill, I think I would give it up.
After figuring it out, I let go of the entanglement in my heart, anyway, the demon pill can't be in my body, where does it like to go, I can't stand the memory loss from time to time, and I don't even know what I've done when I wake up, that feeling is more terrible than death.
But I'm not sure that after losing the Demon Pill, my other personality will no longer come out to find a sense of existence, after all, personality is not a physical object.
I told Gu Yu about my worries, and after thinking about it seriously, Gu Yu said that he had different thoughts about my other personality than me.
From what I know, another personality was formed after the demon pill entered my body, and I agree with him on this point.
However, I think it was the demon pill that affected my subconscious, so I split another me, Gu Yu thought that there was a consciousness in the demon pill, this consciousness is like a fetus, although it is alive, but it has not yet formed a self-consciousness, and in fact, it is my subconscious that affects it, instilling my cognition and feelings into it, and when this conscious fetus lands and grows to the stage where it can act independently, it wants to separate from me and become an independent person.
Therefore, it has my memory, common sense, behavioral habits, and even thinking patterns, Gu Yu said that when I left the store, Mi Jiale and they didn't notice anything unusual.
I told them that I was going to the toilet, but I didn't go back after leaving, Mi Jiale helped Gu Yu find me overnight, and then Tian Xiuxiu wanted to leave, so he had to leave with the team.
Looking back now, I speculate that the motive of 'me' to leave at that time was nothing more than to delay time, and when the large army left, even if the self regained consciousness, it would not be able to leave the island, and it would not be possible to come to Lanka to find a master to get rid of it.
It wants to save its life, and it can't hurt my body, so I can only choose to stay on a desert island, even if Gu Yu stays, and finally finds it, at most, two people are trapped, Gu Yu will definitely not hurt me, it's better than being destroyed.
Unfortunately, it didn't expect the Monster Bride and Aka to become variables in its plans, the Monster Bride didn't want to fight with us, her purpose was to leave the island and get revenge.
If Gu Yu's idea is correct, then the monster bride swallowing the demon pill is not equivalent to eating that 'it' into her body?
The monster bride had been listening to our conversation, and when Gu Yu said that there was an independent consciousness in the demon pill, I deliberately felt the changes on my back and found that she had not changed, at least her body did not react naturally, such as tense or leaning forward.
"If you eat it, will it be affected?" I didn't seem surprised when I saw her, so I just asked directly.
"What, you're afraid that I'll change my temperament like you and then raid you?" The monster bride raised her arms and made a gesture of pinching, her long nails with a small stream of air across my neck.
My neck froze instinctively, knowing that she wouldn't kill me, at least not for now, but I still couldn't restrain my body's instinctive reaction.
I grabbed her wrist, the force was so strong, if she was an ordinary person, eighty percent of her bones would have been cracked, but although her body was light and fluttering, it felt like steel and hard to grasp.
The big boss zombies in the movie are generally invulnerable, and it seems that she is also at the same level, I retracted my strength and let go of her hand, and she also lowered her arm and didn't scare me anymore.
Aka froze to the side, and when I let go, its body reacted, took a small half step forward, and when I saw that I had let go, it retracted the hairy leg.
"Fusion takes time, it won't be so fast." Gu Yu reassured.
His words reminded me of the time when I first got the demon pill, I didn't feel it at all, and after a while I found that it could move, thinking of this, I felt a little nervous, so I nodded along with Gu Yu's words, and relaxed my shoulders appropriately, so that my body could rest fully.
Acre was sent out by the Monster Bride to search the rest of the area, even though we all knew that there could be no living people on the island.
"Since you have fulfilled your promise, we will not break our promise, who is the enemy you are looking for? Is it male or female? Where might you live? Let's start with it, it's impossible for the two of us to travel the world with you. β
It's true that we promised to help her find an enemy, but if she didn't have the scope and led us all over the world, we really wouldn't have the time to accompany her.
"She is a woman, looking in her early twenties, but her minions call her Granny Hong, it should be her relationship with practicing evil arts, and she can maintain her appearance without age, or she has taken the body of a young girl, and the magpie's nest dove occupies it. I remember...... She's from Miao Jiang and always likes to wear red, she-"
The monster bride's words were interrupted by me: "Needless to say, I've seen this person, she's dead." β
"Impossible!" The monster bride's voice suddenly became fierce and harsh, and even her upper body straightened, and her hands clasped my shoulders, but fortunately her nails were not strong.
"She didn't lie to you, I killed the person." Gu Yu said.
The monster bride shook her head repeatedly, her long hair swept around my cheeks, and she said, "No way, that old witch can't die, as long as her soul is not scattered, she can come back to life." β
Gu Yu looked at me when he heard this, neither he nor I thought about this question, Granny Hong died in front of our eyes, could it be that she just died in the flesh and escaped with her soul?
I accept incompetence for a while, but I can carry a century-old zombie around, and the possibility she said is not impossible.
"Huh? Gu Yu, do you remember that puppet? A thought suddenly flashed into my mind, I held Gu Yu's hand and asked him with some excitement.
"Remember, the one you want to possess."
"Yes, yes, you remember, that puppet was not so powerful before the death of the Red Mother-in-law, it was only after the death of the Red Mother-in-law that it became domineering, and it wanted to get into my head, do you think it was controlled by the soul of the Red Mother-in-law?"
"Possibly."
"Definitely."
Gu Yu and the monster bride replied at the same time, Gu Yu's eyes turned to the monster bride, and because I couldn't see behind it, I could only hear her continue: "The human skin puppet is refined with the temperature difference of her essence and blood, and she can attach to it, just like an incarnation, but the human skin puppet destroys it, but it can't do her harm." β
"No, the puppet screamed very badly." The human skin puppet let out a terrible scream when it was burned by Gu Yu, and the sound didn't look like it was pretended.
"You must have burned it, didn't you?" The monster bride quickly sneered: "If a person is thrown into the fire, which one is not miserable, but as long as you escape in time, the burns will always heal one day." β
I looked at Gu Yu, and then said, "We don't have yin and yang eyes, it's hard to be sure, and when I met her, she was an old woman, maybe she was old, her skills were not as good as before, and her life became fragile." β
"Yes or no, I will prove to you that her practice of evil art requires children under the age of three, as long as you go back and inquire, where a large number of children are missing in a short period of time, she must be there."
"Madam, this is not necessarily, you know what the world is now, not to mention that a large number of children are missing in a short period of time, even if the whole village disappears overnight, it is not a new thing."
"Even if you go to the most crowded place to ask, if not, we don't owe each other."
"Refreshing!"
As long as my ability is restored, it is easy to go to the camp with the most people to inquire about something, and the monster bride's mood calmed down, and she said lightly, "Actually, I still have one more wish. β
If revenge is a wish, it must be a blackened wish, and listening to her tone at this moment, another wish seems to be beautiful? World peace?
"Oh?" I said in passing, she is a hundred-year-old zombie, even if she has any wishes, I'm afraid it will be difficult to achieve, unless she wants to get a luxury car and occupy a mansion, it will be easier, and there are more empty houses now.
"Find my husband."
"What?"
"Find my husband, Minghan."
"Ah, where he'sβwhere he's buried, you know?"
"If nothing else, he won't, with the elixir I gave him, he can live for a long time, if he is still alive, he will definitely wait for me in the place where we first met."
"Where?" I really asked in passing, not to mention whether there is such a thing as immortality, even if there is, how many ups and downs have been experienced from the Qing Dynasty to the present, and her husband has survived until now, it is definitely a miracle, the probability is too small.
"Broken Bridge."
"My God, don't tell me that you met because of an umbrella, you were transferred from Leifeng Tower to the Nameless Tower?"
"You're talking about the White Lady, I'm not, I'm not a snake demon, and he's not an apprentice in a pharmacy."
Hearing her say this, I breathed a sigh of relief, it's not a live-action version of the Legend of the White Snake, if I kill Fa Hai'er who loves to beat mandarin ducks halfway and take me by the way, then Gu Yu and I ...... Well, we'll still be happily together, because he'll take care of my tower/collapse!
The husband of the monster bride obviously does not have such a high force value, and what is even more tragic is that he also ate the elixir, who knows if that thing is the same as the elixir pursued by the emperors of previous dynasties.
I'm afraid the story of the monster bride is very long, but it is conceivable that it is inseparable from the four words of the bitter mandarin duck, and now the sun is shining, and it is not a good time to share the story, so I ended the topic in advance and asked her to call Aka back, since the demon pill has been removed, and there are no side effects for the time being, we might as well hurry back, so that my parents will not worry about me.
But the monster bride told us, "I can't sense it, it's wrong!" β
