Chapter 3: Resurrection from the Dead
In the dimly lit room, the mandrill after the blow was satisfied, licking the bright red lips that didn't know how much blood had been stained, and looked at the lizard Yin Spirit who had just broken free from Chen Fan's hands.
If it weren't for this little thing to report to himself, he would only be one step away from entering the upper echelons of ordinary spirit ghosts, the mandrills of the Shadow Demon, and he might not be able to find such a big prey.
And now, the mandrill who had just eaten Chen Fan's head felt that he could take that step at any time, and naturally he would not have the idea of dominating the remaining leftovers.
After all, if you want the horse to run, you have to give the horse grazing, right?
So, it gently waved its short arms, which were completely disproportionate to the huge head and were so thin that they were almost funny, and motioned to the lizard yin spirit and the pigeon yin spirit to dispose of Chen Fan's remaining corpse at will, and it was already satisfied.
After getting the approval from the mandrill, the lizard Yin Spirit jumped on Chen Fan's body impatiently, and it was almost killed by Chen Fan's knife with a knife, it turned its remaining one-eye, and pounced on Chen Fan's right arm with resentment, while the pigeon Yin Spirit flapped its wings and fell to Chen Fan's chest, ready to tear open the chest cavity and peck at Dabu's heart.
Just when the two low-level Yin Spirits were about to feast, a mutation suddenly appeared.
The headless corpse that should have died suddenly raised his hands, pinched the fragile necks of the lizard yin spirit and the pigeon yin spirit one by one, and then twisted it lightly.
In the two crisp clicks, the lizard yin spirit and the pigeon yin spirit were twisted and broken their necks at will, and their eyes were still full of doubts and incomprehension before they died.
Afterwards, the two dead Yin spirits turned to white ash and were sucked into the cavity of the headless corpse.
The mandrill next to him, who didn't react at all, finally came to his senses at this time, opened his bloody mouth and was just about to roar and use his ability to eat the entire corpse, but a white arm stabbed into its throat like lightning, and pressed its hard elbow against its fangs.
Then, under the stunned gaze of the mandrill, the headless corpse slowly glowed with a black mist from the bitten neck, and then quickly assembled into the head it had just swallowed.
It's just that although the faces of the reassembled heads are the same, whether it is the corners of the mouth that cracks like a laugh, or the dark whites of the eyes and the cross-shaped pupils, the mandrill feels a chill.
"Uhh
In the end, Chen Fan, who had come back from the dead, suddenly reached into the mandrill's big mouth in the frightened eyes of the night, grabbed its heart hidden in its thin body, and began to wrestle with each other.
The only weapon was temporarily sealed by Chen Fan with his own arm, even if he was bitten by the fangs and the flesh was blurred and about to break, he refused to let go, and he knew that he had fallen into the wind of the mandrill's heart, and a faint black ash actually rose up and down his body.
At the moment of life and death, the mandrill actually planned to forcibly advance, preparing to step into a higher level of shadow demons!
Looking at Chen Fan with a sinking face mockingly, Shan Xiaoxin said that when I have entered the shadow demon level, I will directly bite off this arm stuffed into my mouth, and then I will break your body into ten thousand pieces!
Seeing that the situation suddenly took a sharp turn in the direction that was unfavorable to Chen Fan, who had come back from the dead, Yeyi on the bed finally couldn't hold back and stood up, and just wanted to make a move when he was shocked by a loud noise behind him.
The door of the room that was kicked and smashed fell down, and the murderous Chen Fan's father stepped into the room with a double-barreled shotgun engraved with runes, and directly met Chen Fan, who turned back in surprise.
The next moment, Chen Fan's father pulled the trigger without hesitation.
BongοΌ
After the deafening roar, the corpse of the mandrill that had been smashed with the upper half of its face swayed slightly, and then turned into pieces of white ash and scattered.
Seeing that he had finally gotten rid of the crisis, Chen Fan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and then felt that his body, which was still full of strength just now, suddenly softened, causing him to fall on the bed weakly.
The next moment, Chen Fan's mother, who was full of anxiety, reached out to support Chen Fan's crumbling body, looking at his right arm, which was almost half of the bone bitten off, and couldn't help but burst into tears.
Seeing his mother's tears falling into the wound, Chen Fan was stung and grinned, but in the end he didn't want to let go of his worried mother.
After searching the room with a gun and confirming that there was no longer a threat, Chen Fan's father finally breathed a sigh of relief, put down the double-barreled shotgun with white smoke from the muzzle, frowned, and just wanted to ask Chen Fan what was going on, when the family in the room heard an earth-shattering loud noise at the door.
In the stunned expressions of the three of them, a tall woman in a black suit rushed into her villa first, brandishing a high-tech pistol in her hand and shouting: "Los Angeles Authority Action Team!" Uncle Dean, are you okay?! Your son was gnawed to death by the Yin Spirit! β
As soon as he finished shouting, the team leader was shocked to find a family of three in Chen Fan's room with different expressions, but they were all quite complicated.
The team leader who was taken aback said in his heart what was the matter with such a large amount of blood in the surveillance screen, and then he saw Chen Fan's bloody arm.
In an awkward dead silence, it was Chen Fan who took the lead in breaking the silence:
"What's inside...... Can you stop the bleeding for me first? β
Ten minutes later, Chen Fan looked at his right arm, which was wrapped in layers like a freshly baked mummy, with an expression of wanting to say something.
However, Chen Fan's father didn't hesitate so much, and snorted coldly directly from his nostrils:
"Humph! With Chen Fan's recovery speed after awakening, even if the bones are broken in a few hours, they can grow well, and now that they are bandaged so well, why didn't they come to help earlier? β
The team leader who was sarcastically sarcastic by yin and yang could only stand aside and smile awkwardly at this time: "That...... Dean Chen Yang...... We were negligent this time, but ......"
As soon as he said the word but, the rest of the group leader's words were pushed back by Chen Fan's mother's sharp gaze, so he had to close his mouth and stand obediently.
There's no way, if it weren't for his group coming so slowly, it is estimated that Chen Fan would not have to wear bandages.
What's more, who let himself shout that his son is dead as soon as he enters the door.
The group leader shrank his head in embarrassment, but Chen Fan raised the bloodstained booklet with his intact left hand, and looked at the group leader with a slight raised eyebrow:
"Ahem, I have a question, that ...... This lady? β
Hearing Chen Fan's words, the group leader barely squeezed out a smile: "Hu Weijiu, you can call me Hu Group...... Forget it, just call me Little Ninth Sister. β
"Okay, Little Ninth Sister, I want to ask, the prevention manual issued by your Los Angeles Administration Bureau clearly says that the spirit ghost of the Yin Spirit will only appear to hunt when the prey is extremely weak, so why is the Yin Spirit still in my spirit and the Yin Spirit jumped out? And one or three? β
Waving the booklet in his hand, Chen Fan's face was full of doubts.
"Ahh............h
But after Hu Weijiu glanced at the shotgun full of inscriptions on the barrel of Chen Yang's hand, he immediately drove his stiff facial muscles and squeezed out a smile that was more ugly than crying:
"I'm sorry, but this is an isolated case, and our Los Angeles Authority made a mistake."
"Oh, that's right." Unexpectedly, Chen Fan, who was the party and the victim, didn't seem to mind this kind of thing, and touched his waist-length hair after putting down the booklet casually:
"So, can I change my appearance back?"
Looking at the cracks at the corners of Chen Fan's mouth and the whites of his dark eyes, Hu Weijiu hesitated for a moment in Chen Fan's hopeful gaze, but still shook his head:
"I'm sorry, you belong to a rather special type of awakening, once awakened, a large amount of spiritual power will transform your body to make it more suitable for itself, and the changes caused in this process are irreversible."
As soon as these words came out, Chen Yang's hands moved slightly, and the thick barrel of the gun turned a cold iron color:
"In other words, my only son not only almost died due to the inaction of you idiots, but even became a floating spirit?!"
Faced with the accusation made by Chen Yang, who hid his anger under the calm appearance, Hu Weijiu became angry at this time:
"Dean Chen Yang, Chen Fan's current situation does have the mistake of our team's untimely response, but I think if you weren't too disgusted with our drifting spirit, Chen Fan might not have delayed it for so long and didn't report to us!"
Chen Yang's face sank when he heard this, and his fingers unconsciously rubbed the barrel of the shotgun.
But he never refuted Hu Weijiu's words.
"Ahem, excuse me, can you let me finish the question?" With a slight cough, Chen Fan raised his intact left arm, indicating that there were still questions to be answered.
Glancing at Hu Weijiu coldly, Chen Yang sighed and turned around and walked out of the room.
Before leaving, he patted Chen Yang's mother Zhang Cai on the shoulder by the way: "Let's go, help me put the gun back." β
Looking at Chen Fan reluctantly, Zhang Cai finally let go of Chen Fan's palm, which had been held by him, got up and followed Chen Yang out of the room.
There was a click, and the door shut.
Chen Fan, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, pointed to the chair next to Hu Weijiu with his left hand, and then hugged Yeyi to his lap, and asked indifferently while petting the cat:
"Now that I'm a drifter, do I have to go with you to work for the Authority?"
Surprised by Chen Fan's calmness and calmness, Hu Weijiu did not beat around the bush, and nodded straightforwardly:
"You're right, just like the manual says, any Drifting Spirit must report their situation to the Authority or the Special Secretariat, as for you...... There is a high probability that you must be mentally prepared for not coming back. But don't worry, if you really want to work, whether it's a civilian or an action group, the bureau will arrange suitable positions. β
After listening to Hu Weijiu's undisguised answer, Chen Fan fell into deep thought.
And Hu Weijiu didn't bother him, sitting on the chair to give Chen Fan plenty of time to think about the future.
After a while, Chen Fan finally mustered up the courage and asked the question he was most concerned about:
"The manual says that the Wandering Spirit will have a good thing called the Spirit Pact to awaken its own ability, and then the Spirit Pact can also be transformed into an adaptation type according to the ability to hold the Floating Spirit?"
Although he was a little surprised why Chen Fan cared about this instead of what he should do in the future, Hu Weijiu still nodded and said that what the manual said was correct.
So, Chen Fan licked his lips with some excitement and said the question he wanted to know the most:
"That'...... Is there a spirit contract of the ethereal spirit, which is a giant battle armor? β
After being stunned for a moment, a snickering smile immediately appeared on Hu Weijiu's face: "You know, in the eyes of people in the West, the sickle is a prop that symbolizes harvesting food, while agriculture is the most sensitive to the passage of time in the year with four distinct seasons, right?" β
Although he didn't understand why Hu Weijiu suddenly said this, Chen Fan still nodded to show that he knew.
Seeing Chen Fan nodding, Hu Weijiu continued:
Thus, in many works in the West, the Grim Reaper holds in his hand a sickle that symbolizes harvest and life. In Babylon, there is a path to ascension called the Grim Reaper, and the strongest of this route, his spiritual contract, is an agricultural harvester that can be turned into a robot. β
After listening to Hu Weijiu's words, Chen Fan's eyes suddenly lit up.
But at the same time, he also keenly captured a word that he had not seen in a manual: "Upgrade route? What is it? β
"Oh, this, ah......" didn't seem to know whether to say it or not, but after Hu Weijiu accidentally glanced at the auto-chess game displayed on the repaired computer screen, she felt that she could give Chen Fan a brief explanation:
"I see you also play League of Legends? Then you should be able to understand the upgrade of the heroes in the game, right? β
Xin said that the gameplay of the League of Legends was about to be wasted, and he just chose to play chess to relax, but Chen Fan still nodded: "Of course, I started playing during the internal test, and I have been on the second drill in the highest rank." β
Speaking of this, Chen Fan couldn't help but sigh:
"It's a pity, that is, three or four years ago, when I was just in high school, the league became popular, and a large group of unknown guys came in, and directly destroyed the fun of playing, so disgusting that I had to go to chess."
However, what he didn't expect was that when Hu Weijiu heard Chen Fan's complaints, he suddenly came to his senses:
"Eh, you're so right, in the past, everyone used to play games, and everyone would order food, and if they dragged their feet, they would feel embarrassed, and then practice privately to improve their strength. It's good now, if your teammates are pitted, they will spray others and dump the pot, and it will disgust you. β
"It's not, and then this excellent matching mechanism, my own family often has surprises, and at the worst time, I even have to drag four, and the result is that the opposite competition profession."
"That's it, let me tell you that I always envy the people opposite, I haven't met a god who can take me to lie down and win for so long, and they are all talents who are vegetables and love to shake the pot."
"Then he can only spray you, don't scold him a few words, refute it and send it directly to the head or hang up, and then hang up after sending it, and then hang up after sending it, and don't agree to surrender in advance, and even go out after beating this and have the face to report you."
After sighing very tacitly, Chen Fan and Hu Weijiu said in unison:
"The pit is like a tide!"
Then, a brief silence descended into the room.
