Chapter 3: Mu Kui and the Fire Ghost
Whew!
I don't know where the strength came from, but the boy rushed across the street to the front door of the tavern, and looked at the scene in the tavern, and for a moment he felt that his breath was about to stop.
It was still the place he once knew, it was a kind of purgatory on earth.
There was not a single living person, and all the people inside had their throats cut and lay in a pool of blood, and an incomparably strong smell of blood came from the tavern.
Wow!
A large mouthful of dirt mixed with some inexplicable substance suddenly spat out of the boy's mouth, and for a moment he felt as if his stomach was about to burn, hot.
In St. Ann's City, it was not that he had never seen dead people at a young age, but the death of those people in the tavern brought him a huge shock and shock.
After all, he knew some of them, and those people in St. Ann's City had always been tyrannical and demanding the lives of others, so how could anyone dare to ask for their lives?
However, at this moment, those people were like rookies, easily slaughtered, and looking at their appearance, it seemed that they didn't even have the slightest strength to fight back, not to mention that their bodies had moved, and even the expressions on people's faces didn't have time to change much.
The boy didn't know how the man called Mu Kui did it, but one thing he knew for sure was that it was beyond his knowledge, something he didn't know at all, or a kind of power.
Panting heavily, he sat on the street a little paralyzed, staring blankly at the panicked expressions on the faces of some of them before they died, and the unwillingness in their eyes, although the boy's body had stopped trembling, but an unprecedented chill swept over his whole body.
Because inexplicably, he suddenly had an illusion, that is, the man named Mu Kui was likely to kill all the people in the city.
One person can slaughter the city, although Na Mu Kui was born so thin, and he was only half a head taller than the boy, but for some reason, the boy felt that it would definitely not be difficult for Na Mu Kui to do all this if he wanted to.
Getting up from the ground with difficulty, the boy glanced around, and then his gaze fell on the city gate.
Although he left St. Ann's City and entered the wilderness and darkness outside, the boy doubted that he would not be able to go far before he would be taken away by a passing beast, and his bones would be gone, or that he would lose his way before he had gone far, and eventually collapse on the road and die of exhaustion, but at this moment he really wanted to leave this place and leave St. Ann's City.
It's a pity that this thought just popped up from the boy's mind, and before he could lift his steps, his eyes were directly attracted by something.
It was a piece of roast meat the size of a palm that had fallen on the table, but at this moment, that piece of roast meat had an indescribable allure to him, so much so that he felt that his legs had become so heavy that it was difficult to move even half a step in other directions.
I don't know how long it was, but even the boy didn't know when he moved his legs and entered the tavern and grabbed the piece of roast meat on the table in his hand.
"Not bad."
At this moment, Mu Kui, who had a thick bloody aura, came out of nowhere, he crossed his arms, looked at the boy with approval in his eyes, and said, "It is indeed a good seedling." ”
Yes, in his eyes, after seeing such a scene, the boy not only did not have the slightest fear, but boldly walked in, just to survive, this mentality did make him a little surprised and touched.
A little stiffly turned around, looking at Mu Kui and the five children and a girl behind him, the boy holding the barbecue in his hand, for a moment except for standing in a daze, he didn't know what other reactions and responses to make.
And what the boy didn't know was that it was his silent reaction that fell into Mu Kui's eyes, but it was something else, it was a rare calmness, and it was also an innate condition that the organization behind him valued very much.
"What's your name?"
Mu Kui looked at the boy with interest.
"Name?"
The boy looked at Mu Kui with some blankness.
Because the people who live here, especially orphans like him who don't know who their parents are or where they come from, where will they have any names?
It seemed that he could see something from the boy's blank eyes, or that he thought of this continent and even the situation in this area, Mu Kui smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if you don't have a name, when you have your own code name in the future, it doesn't matter what your previous name was." ”
"It's not just him."
Mu Kui turned around and glanced at the children behind him and said, "You are the same. ”
"Yes."
I don't know what happened to the children before, but they were extremely obedient to Mu Kui, and after his words fell, they nodded in unison and replied yes.
"Good."
Seemingly satisfied with the children's attitudes and answers, Mu Kui's face once again showed his ugly and disgusting smile, and he nodded with satisfaction, "Congratulations, you are saved." ”
Hearing this from Mu Kui's mouth again, the boy looked at the roast meat in his hand, and then asked, "What is saved?" ”
"Ugh."
As if he didn't expect the boy to ask this question, Mu Kui groaned before he spoke, "To put it simply, you will never go hungry again." ”
Never go hungry again!
What a simple, direct and effective temptation, what a wonderful, beautiful phrase.
In an instant, everyone's eyes, including the boy, lit up.
Like the boys, the children who followed Mu Kui were the same ragged and dirty faces.
Needless to say, they are also similar to boys, all of them are street children who wander in some dark corner of the city, and they don't know when they will die.
Therefore, they are by no means much worse than boys in terms of food needs.
It can be said that if it weren't for Mu Kui's existence, the piece of barbecue meat in the boy's hand would be enough to trigger a bloody case between them.
At this moment, with the sound of slight footsteps, more than twenty children of different ages, the eldest thirteen or fourteen years old, and the younger one only five or six years old, under the leadership of the tall and fat Yan Ghost, came to the tavern and joined Mu Kui.
Looking at the few people around Mu Kui, including the boy, Yan Ghost frowned and said, "It's all settled, why are you so few people here?" ”
Mu Kui sneered when he heard this: "A few boys saw that I cut off other people's heads in front of them, and I was so scared that I peed my pants on the spot. ”
Hearing this, the flame ghost was furious and said, "So you killed them? ”
"Or else?"
Mu Kui said disdainfully: "Could it be that the uncle still wants to offer them?" ”
"You ......"
seems to know Mu Kui's character and temper, and the anger of the fire ghost, and finally turned into a helplessness.
He glared at the Yan Ghost fiercely and said, "What if you can't complete the task of the hall master?" ”
"That can't be."
Mu Kui said in a confident tone: "This area is led by Boss Hu, he knows Uncle Mu Kui's character, and he will naturally fill the vacancy on our side." ”
"I hope so."
For Mu Kui, the Yan Ghost also seemed to be very helpless about him, and there was nothing he could do about it.
And as the conversation between Mu Kui and the Yan Ghost ended, I don't know if I had greeted him in advance, or if I had seen the power and terrifying of Mu Kui and the Yan Ghost like the boy, in an instant, except for the breathing sound of dozens of children, the entire St. Ann City seemed to fall directly into a deathly silence.
In fact, just like the premonitions and illusions of the boy before, the adults in the entire St. Ann's City had their throats cut by Mu Kui and the fire ghosts in this short period of time, and it was far simpler and easier than the boy imagined.
Therefore, in the current city of St. Ann's, their group of children is already the last to live.
It was at this time that all the children discovered that the blood moon in the sky, in addition to being incomparably round and large tonight, its sprinkled moonlight did not seem to be as dimmed as the usual full moon night, gradually dimming with the depth of night and the passage of time, but began to become brighter and brighter.
That feeling, as if the distance between the blood moon and this continent was gradually being narrowed, and there was a faint feeling that it was going to hit it directly, or fall directly on this continent.
Not only that, but the outlines of the continents and mountains above the Blood Moon were also faintly visible with some horror and shock.
In this case, even if many of these children had not heard of the ancient legend of the blood moon in the sky, they were aware of the abnormality at this moment, and their hearts were a little uneasy and panicked.
No way, compared to the previous round of blood moons on full moon nights, the huge blood moon above tonight did bring a great sense of oppression.
In fact, Mu Kui and Yan Ghost, who had finished the conversation, were also looking up at the blood moon in the sky, but judging from the expressions on their faces and the expressions in their eyes, they were indeed very repulsive and extremely disgusted by that blood moon!
After all, although they were able to kill all the adults in St. Ann's City in a short period of time with their own strength, Mu Kui and Yan Ghost also knew that it was only because these people in St. Ann's City were all ordinary people who seemed to be strong, but had not practiced any exercises and had no ability.
And Mu Kui and Yan Ghost are also two five-star martial artists who have the power of true yuan and have completed their self-awakening.
