Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Charm of the Spirit
Among the group of resentful spirits above the ruins, an old man slowly walked out, and when the old man came out, the form of his body changed into a light cyan official uniform.
There were strict regulations on the color of the official uniforms of the Dachang Dynasty, and the three grades of civil and military officials were purple, the fourth grade was dark crimson, the fifth grade was light crimson, the sixth grade was dark green, the seventh grade was light green, the eighth grade was dark blue, and the ninth grade was light blue.
The county magistrate of Xinzheng County is just a nine-grade sesame official, naturally wearing a light cyan official uniform, and this resentful spirit has changed into the form before his death, also to show his identity to Tang Xiaohao and others.
The resentful spirit stepped forward and knelt down in front of Tang Xiaohao and the others and said, "The former Xinzheng County Commander Wang Anchao thanked you for your great kindness, if you hadn't released us from this inn, I'm afraid we would have been trapped here forever." ”
When Wang Anchao knelt down, the group of resentful spirits like a mountain behind him also knelt down one after another.
Before Tang Xiaohao stepped forward to respond, he first glanced at Su Mu, Su Mu responded, and walked directly to Gelda's side, still afraid that Gelda would suddenly run away with Baomeng.
Tang Xiaohao stepped forward and asked, "Wang County Order, you don't need to make this big gift, you can get up." After that, Tang Xiaohao looked at the resentful spirits behind him again, "You all get up." ”
After Wang Anchao took the lead, those resentful spirits also stood up one after another.
Tang Xiaohao asked again: "Wang County Order, what the hell is going on?" ”
Wang Anchao sighed, glanced at the others behind Tang Xiaohao, and hesitated for a while before saying: "After all, there is no room for aliens on the land of Jiuyuan, and the Decia is an alien, but the Deca is also the same as people, and it is also good and bad. ”
Tang Xiaohao was puzzled, I don't know why Wang Anchao suddenly said that he was on the armor? Because Lin Suotu only told Ah Mo and Yueyan some of the truth, the two of them didn't say it, Tang Xiaohao and they naturally didn't know the reason why all the people in Lao Xinzheng County were killed, it was because they all became decanters.
The whole thing goes back to the Shunhe period, when the old Xinzheng County, which is now known as the Dead Village, was transformed into a carcass in a short period of time. This kind of armor is just like the two traitors who broke the golden gate at the beginning, after the transformation, only the strength and speed have been greatly improved, and some of the armor has also gained some strange powers, taking Wang Anchao as an example, after he was transformed into the armor, he can condense water into ice, and he can turn water into ice in a short time, and even the armor that can control the flame has appeared.
However, in order to maintain its own strength, it had to feed on the essence of the people, and everyone in Xinzheng County at that time was reluctant to do that, just to maintain their daily life. Therefore, this group of decarbates, who did not harm anyone, gradually lost their strength and became weaker than before, but even so, they still did not have the intention of harming others.
Tang Xiaohao interrupted Wang Anchao's recollection: "Wang County Order, do you know who transformed you into a decanter?" ”
The resentful spirit king An Chao shook his head: "This can't be traced back to the source. ”
Because of the large number of people, and the matter has come to this point, no one is willing to pursue it anymore, but everyone is naturally conflicted in their hearts, and they are transformed into a human being, and they are unwilling to hurt human beings, and they will become as weak as they are, so how good is it to find a way to turn themselves back into human beings?
However, they are just a group of people who have been innocently implicated and turned into debentures, how can they know the way to turn back into human beings?
Situ Changan heard this: "If the armor sucks the essence of a person, the person who is sucked to death will become a dead corpse. If you want to turn ordinary people into your own kind, you can only use hair. ”
Childa and Su Mu were surprised, this was the first time they had heard of it.
Ah Mo and Yueyan were silent, they had known about this for a long time, and it should be said that it was not a secret to people in the other ways.
Tang Xiaohao was puzzled: "Hair? ”
The resentful spirit king An Chao immediately demonstrated, only to see that after the official hat on his head disappeared, it turned into a full head of long hair, each of which writhed like vitality.
Tang Xiaohao looked at Wang Anchao's thin hair, which looked as if the whole person had been electrocuted, and his hair stood up.
The resentful spirit king An Chao said: "The armor only needs to touch the opponent's hair with the hair, and the opponent can also be turned into the armor in a short time. Hair can also be used to communicate between caricato. ”
Hair for communication? Could it be that the so-called Armor is the legendary Smurf Avatar? Tang Xiaohao fell into deep thought, did the bastard who wrote this story too lazy to use his brain again and started talking nonsense again?
Subsequently, Tang Xiaohao asked: "Doesn't it need to bite when the armor transforms into the same kind?" ”
Situ Changan explained: "Although ordinary decans can suck the essence of other living creatures, the way to suck them is also to use hair. ”
Tang Xiaohao was puzzled: "But, the two kinds of armor I met in Shendu City didn't use their hair?" ”
Situ Chang'an said: "The kind you encounter is called a dragon. ”
"Dragons?" Tang Xiaohao recalled what Wu Tianlu said, "I remember that the eldest brother said that the armor is also divided into regions and territories, and the leader of the armor in a certain area is called the ghost, what is the difference between the charm and the spirit?" ”
Situ Changan continued: "At the beginning, the Dec Armor acted alone, so to speak, and then I don't know why they began to live in groups, and divided their respective territories, and the first time to transform other people into Dec Armor in each territory will become a ghost, because in the process of transforming other human beings, this Dec Armor will also absorb part of the essence of the other party, and its own entity will also be greatly improved. The sprite is artificially made, and it is impossible to verify when the sprite appeared, but it should be in the early years of the famine, someone accidentally ate the carapace meat, and it will change from a normal person to a bloodthirsty in a short period of time, and its strength and speed even exceed that of the monster of the ghost. ”
Tang Xiaohao and Su Mu frowned again and again when they heard this, there was no food in the year of the famine, and there was indeed a phenomenon of cannibalism, but they didn't know that the dragons they encountered before were formed by people eating the ashes of the carapace.
Situ Changan continued to explain: "If you are scratched and bitten by a dragon and killed, you will become a living corpse, which we call a corpse. ”
Oh? Corpses? When Tang Xiaohao heard this, he pointed to the strange corpse on the ground and asked, "Then what is this?" ”
"That's called sewing a thousand corpses," Situ Changan looked at the resentful spirit Dongshan Xiao next to the different corpses, "It is a faction of different sewing thousand corpses that uses human corpses, which is stronger than ordinary corpses, but not as good as ordinary corpses, not to mention the ghosts and ghosts." ”
Tang Xiaohao finally understood, and looked directly at Cerda: "So, this Wang Ba Lizi turned the two Shendu Army cavalry captains into dragons, and used those two dragons to kill the soldiers of the entire Shendu Army Banner Camp, turned those soldiers into corpses, and also attacked Rouyuan Palace with a group of strange corpses." ”
Gerda looked at Tang Xiaohao who was approaching step by step, looking a little frightened, he already knew very well that he was not the opponent of the horse, not to mention that there were other heterogeneous masters here.
Tang Xiaohao walked up to Chierda: "Not only do you know people from different ways, you have brought in strange corpses, but you also created dragons, killed so many Shendu soldiers, and killed almost the entire Rouyuan Palace. ”
Gilda immediately explained, "Horse, the sprite and the corpse were not made by me, they were given to me. ”
Childa knew that it was pointless to hide it, so he could only tell him about the encounter with Nan Rong Zhongwei outside the Shendu Military Banner Camp that night. Naturally, Gilda did not know the true identity of Nan Rong Zhongwei, so in his narrative, it was just a young man wearing the skin armor of the Shendu Army.
Among the people present, only Ah Mo and Yueyan knew that it was Nan Rong Zhongwei, but the two of them couldn't say what the consequences would be if they said it, and the two knew that the lone army wanted to control the situation, not let the situation get out of control.
Situ Chang'an cared about the kind of rune paper that Childa said could be used to control the dragon, this was the first time he had heard that someone could control the dragon, and Ah Mo was naturally very curious, in the cognition of the apathy, let alone the dragon, even the armor with normal human thinking could not be controlled.
After Tang Xiaohao learned of all this, he became suspicious of the fact that the people in Lao Xinzheng County had become decanters, so he asked the resentful spirit Wang Anchao: "Wang County Order, who is the leader of you after being transformed into dejia?" ”
Tang Xiaohao's words are actually a trap, according to Situ Chang'an, the leader of this group of people must be the first to transform them, but before the resentful spirit king An Chao clearly said that it was impossible to trace the source.
The resentful spirit king An Chao returned: "There is no so-called ghost among our people, if we have to talk about the leader, it should be in the bottom, but in the lower is definitely not the first to transform everyone. ”
Tang Xiaohao nodded slightly, Wang Anchao is dead and has become a resentful spirit, and there is no need to lie now.
Tang Xiaohao analyzed: "In other words, the first transformation of your cardiac armor did not stay in Xinzheng County, but why did the decardiac armor do this?" After speaking, Tang Xiaohao asked another key question, "Wang County Order, how many people were in the county seat of Lao Xinzheng County back then?" ”
The resentful spirit king An Chao replied: "Not counting the surrounding villages, there are a total of 3,600 people in the county. ”
"Three thousand, six hundred?" Tang Xiaohao seemed to have discovered something, "In other words, all of you three thousand six hundred people have been assimilated and transformed by the mysterious Armor?" ”
Indeed, this is the problem, how can 3,600 people, the same Decal Armor manage to transform so many people in a short period of time?
The resentful spirit king An Chao was asked, hesitating and not knowing how to answer.
Tang Xiaohao said with a smile: "Wang County Order, it's better to be like this, anyway, we are idle and idle, why don't we count them?" Since the people of Lao Xinzheng County have been transformed into Guijia and have also become resentful spirits, then they must all be here, right? How about having them line up to count? ”
When the resentful spirit king An Chao looked at Tang Xiaohao, Situ Changan also stared at him, holding the rune paper between the two fingers of his left hand, as long as the rune paper was thrown, the resentful spirit king An Chao would be completely wiped out.
Tang Xiaohao was still smiling: "Wang County Order, you are dead, you don't need to hide anything when you die, there is no meaning, even if you did anything in your life, it is all in the past, and it cannot be saved, we are not holding anyone accountable now, we just want to find out what is going on." ”
The resentful spirit king An Chao turned around and glanced at the resentful spirits, and sighed: "In fact, there are only a few twenty-four people who are the first to convert, and these twenty-four people are also included. ”
Tang Xiaohao immediately asked, "So, have you seen with your own eyes the person who transformed you into a decanter?" ”
The resentful spirit king An Chao nodded helplessly in acknowledgement.
