Chapter 12: Simple Tasks
Aunt May.
The resident of the tube building, Uncle Dong's wife, is a key figure in the plot.
The plot of the movie "Zombie" is actually very simple, it is about Uncle Dong who saw the "little ghost" in the stairwell when he went out to throw garbage one night, and fell down the stairs. After Uncle Dong died, Aunt Mei begged Uncle Nine for help in trying to resurrect Uncle Dong.
However, Aunt Mei didn't know that all this was Uncle Nine's conspiracy.
As early as a few years ago, Uncle Nine was diagnosed with advanced lung cancer, in order to survive, he did not hesitate to continue his life, and when he used the little ghosts he raised to continue his life, he noticed the twin evil spirits of 2442, trying to use them to extend his life.
Powerful ghosts have souls but no souls, but only "souls" are not enough, if you want to continue your life, Uncle Nine has to find a way to refine a zombie with no soul as a carrier of ghosts.
So he started the idea of Aunt Mei and Uncle Dong, although these two have no children, they are very affectionate. Uncle Nine took advantage of this to manipulate the little ghost to kill Uncle Dong, and tricked Aunt Mei into refining Uncle Dong's corpse.
In the end, let the soulless twin evil spirits possess the soulless zombie Uncle Dong, and then use the evil law to renew his life.
However, Uncle Nine underestimated the power of the zombie king and overestimated his own strength, and finally ended up dying miserably. In the end, it was naturally Chen You and the protagonist Ah Hao who joined forces and died together with the zombie king to end the matter.
According to Lin Ge's plan, apprenticeship with Chen You is the first step, and the second step is to get acquainted with several key characters in the plot to facilitate the follow-up plot.
But for more than a week after living in the tube building, Lin Ge rarely met with Aunt Mei, and even found out the house number of Aunt Mei's house from Uncle Yan, and deliberately visited the door, which could bump into the situation where the husband and wife went out shopping.
This made Lin Ge very puzzled, Chen You and Uncle Yan, who are also key figures in the plot, but he could contact them at will, why did he always feel that there was an invisible force in the dark that prevented them from meeting.
After Aunt Mei finished ordering, she was about to find a place to sit down, and noticed Ah Hao sitting alone in the corner, so she sat down and talked to the other party.
Aunt Mei is a "good old man" in the tube building, and she often helps her neighbors repair old clothes on weekdays, so she has a good reputation.
Seeing Aunt Mei and Ah Hao chatting, Lin Ge took advantage of the fact that the "Sky Eye" time was not over, and carefully observed it, and found that there was nothing wrong with Aunt Mei.
It was Ah Hao, or because of the incident in the afternoon, there was a blood mark on his neck that was strangled by a rope, and there was a black gas all over his body.
"If Uncle Nine wants to continue his life, in addition to the zombie king, he also needs the evil method of renewing his life......" Lin Ge recalled the few scenes of Uncle Nine in "Zombie", whether there are key clues, but it is not easy for a movie to remember the plot clearly, how can the details be remembered together.
"In the secret art of Maoshan, there are some lost secret techniques that can absorb the life span of others for their own use." Lin Ge sighed, but it was a pity that Chen Youyi, as an orthodox Maoshan family, naturally couldn't record those evil laws in the book.
In the movie, Uncle Nine can raise a little ghost to continue his life, obviously he has mastered some kind of evil law.
However, the only secret method recorded in "Maoshan Secret Technique" is the "Transfer Array" that uses seven spiritual objects to reverse the situation and change one's life against the sky.
"Don't look at it, if you have been subjected to a demon, you will be unlucky for at least a month." At this time, Chen You came behind Lin Ge with a cigarette and said in a slightly impatient tone.
Lin Ge took the opportunity to ask: "Master, it is recorded in the Dao Law that contaminating evil things will affect one's own luck, and if you want to reverse your luck, you have to eradicate the source. Doesn't that mean that if he doesn't deal with the twin spirits, he's going to be unlucky forever? β
"Huh." Chen You sneered: "It's a pity that you were born decades late, otherwise you must be a master who will be famous for centuries." I like to be nosy so much, I think you might as well take care of yourself first, I have calculated your luck, you belong to the kind of unlucky person who can meet no seasoning bag when you eat instant noodles. If you want to help others transfer, if you have that ability, it is better to transfer it to yourself first. β
Lin Ge asked, "I read that there is a secret technique that can be transferred, 'Seven Spirit Things', which really has the magical effect of changing one's life against the sky and reversing one's life?" β
Chen You snorted: "Of course it works, do you know why this secret technique was lost?" If a person with a very bad life wants to reverse his life, the seventh of the 'Seven Spirit Objects' is to collect the 'heart' of a person with a good life. This is called murder...... If you dare to do such a thing, get out of the way as soon as possible. β
Lin Ge pondered for a long time and asked, "Since there is a spell of 'killing people and crossing oneself' to reverse one's life, there is naturally also an evil method that takes people's lives. Master, I'm thinking...... Since Uncle Nine knew about the existence of the twin evil spirits, why did he keep letting new tenants live in them, adding people who died in vain. What's in it for him? β
Lin Ge's words instantly woke up Chen You, only to see him frown, and said: "You move back the things you bought from the paper shop, I'll go talk to the new neighbor, and go to his house at night to have a look, I can't figure out what Zhong Fa's guy thinks, so I can only find a way to surpass the twin evil spirits." β
[Triggers the hidden plot "Coming Home.] γ
[Objective: Before 12 o'clock in the evening, move the items purchased at the paper shop back to Chen You's home.] γ
[Note: This hidden plot is only valid until 12 o'clock tonight, if it is not completed, the hidden plot line will disappear.] γ
"Huh?"
As the hint of the main god sounded in his mind, Lin Ge couldn't help but be stunned, and subconsciously glanced at the clock in the store.
11:37
There are still 23 minutes, and it is only fifteen minutes away from here to Chen You's house, which can also trigger a hidden mission?
So far, Lin Ge has triggered a total of two hidden plots, one is "Apprenticeship" and the other is "Butcher's Knife".
These two hidden plots forced Lin Ge to face danger, and it can even be said that if there is no "full value charm", it is unknown whether he can worship under Chen Youmen so easily.
And in Gou Deqi's family, if he hadn't brushed up Gou Deqi's favorability, Lin Ge even suspected that Gou Deqi's great-grandfather would immediately turn into a demon and break him, the guy who peeked into the Gou family's heirlooms, into pieces.
Now, the third hidden plot is here......
And it was after the plot officially began.
At this time, Aunt Mei ordered the meal, she picked up her things, got up and went home. Chen You was about to step forward to chat with Ah Hao, but he heard Lin Ge say: "Master, it's not too early today, just close the stall and go home together, and solve the matter of the twin evil spirits during the day tomorrow." β
Chen You glanced at Lin Ge and asked, "Are you afraid of going home alone?" β
Lin Ge: ......
Chen You continued to mend the knife: "After the incident in the afternoon, you lost your guts? Weren't you quite bold before? Dare to run to the 24th floor when it is cloudy...... Alright, don't talk nonsense, hurry back. Remember, don't run to the 24th floor these days. β
It seemed that Chen You was not going to go home now, Lin Ge looked at the time, there were still 20 minutes before the end of the hidden plot.
Abandon?
Lin Ge obviously wouldn't just give up the "hidden plot", after all, the reincarnation was involuntary in the infinite world.
If you can give up this time, what about next time?
Only by constantly becoming stronger, stronger, and stronger can we calmly deal with all dangers!
Lin Ge picked up a large bag of things he bought in the paper shop, got up and walked quickly towards the tube building.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Lin Ge walked into the elevator, his equipment was in the [Inventory], and he could use it at any time. The only pity is that I didn't take "Master Chicken" with me.
"Dingβ"
The elevator arrived at the floor where Chen You's house was located, and as the elevator door opened, the corridor outside was pitch black.
Lin Ge decisively pinched the trick and used the "Sky Eye" to look at the corridor. There was no black smoke, not even gray smoke.
It doesn't look like there's "dirty" in the hallway.
Lin Ge didn't let down his guard, and lifted the big bag, and at the same time took out the shotgun from the [inventory] and hid it under the big bag.
Walking out of the elevator, Lin Ge's gaze swept around.
"Xiaolin, the light on the 22nd floor is broken, I was going to fix it today, but it seems that there is a problem with the main switch." At this time, in the corridor on the 23rd floor diagonally opposite, Uncle Yan's voice came.
Lin Ge followed the sound and looked over, and sure enough, he saw Uncle Yan standing in the corridor on the 23rd floor, poking his head out and shouting at him.
Lin Ge answered, chatted a few more words, and then Uncle Yan left.
Chen You's home is at the corner at the end of the 22nd floor, past the first room in the stairwell.
Although Lin Ge learned from Uncle Yan that the corridor light on the 22nd floor was only broken and not a ghost, he still did not let his guard down.
After all, just moving things back to Chen You's house is considered to be complete, which proves that this short distance of more than ten meters is full of danger.
Fifteen meters
Ten meters.
Five meters.
Just as Lin Ge was passing by the stairwell, he noticed that at the corner of the upper floor of the stairs, a white shadow flashed.
"Huh."
With a sneer, a terrifying face flashed away.
It should have looked like a child of less than ten years old, with pale skin, white eyes without pupils, and a smiling face.
Gremlin?
Seeing the "little ghost", Lin Ge immediately thought of Uncle Jiu. But the imp didn't make a move on him, it was just a flash.
"Are you trying to lead me to the stairwell?" Lin Ge said in his heart that the hidden plot only required him to move things home, and he was not forced to chase the little ghost.
Anyway, let's get the job done first.
Just as Lin Ge reached for the doorknob, he heard a soft sound of "swish" in the darkness of the stairwell.
Immediately afterward, a thin rope was put around his head, strangled his neck, and instantly dragged him towards the stairwell.
In the pitch-black stairwell, a black shadow jumped down from the handrail of the stairs, moving extremely quickly, and kicked Lin Ge in the chest.
Boom!
Lin Ge fell heavily to the ground, and a sharp pain came from his neck, making him realize that his skin had been torn by the thin rope.
The black shadow kicked again, stepping on the door in front of Lin Ge, and the strong sense of dizziness made Lin Ge's eyes dark, and he almost fainted.
The severe pain did not make Lin Ge panic because of this, he still remained calm and conscious, and immediately took out the "butcher knife" from the [inventory] and swept it with a knife. The original intention was to force the figure in the darkness back, but he didn't want to cut the string by mistake.
The rope was cut by Lin Ge, so that he could finally breathe normally, and the man in the darkness was startled, and reached out and grabbed Lin Ge's door.
Lin Ge barely stopped at the moment when he cut the string, and rushed towards the door of Chen You's house.
The black shadow detective grabbed Lin Ge with his hand, and although he didn't catch his body, he grabbed his calf and immediately pulled him behind him.
However, Lin Ge had already touched the weapon that had been dragged into the stairwell and dropped at the staircase just now, and while the other party grabbed his ankle, he determined the exact position of the other party, turned to one side, and pulled the trigger of the shotgun: "Die!" β
Bang!
A gunshot rang out, and the light of the shotgun sprayed instantly illuminated the dark stairwell, and also allowed Lin Ge to see that the person who attacked him was wearing an old Tang costume.
Uncle Jiu, Zhong Fa!
With the gunshot, Uncle Nine let go of Lin Ge and ran upstairs. This shot failed to be fatal, which surprised Lin Ge a little.
Lin Ge immediately turned over and got up, loaded again with the shotgun, although he injured Uncle Jiu, he didn't get angry and chased upstairs.
The goal of the mission was simply to bring things back to Chen You's house, and he was now only a few meters away from the gate of Chen You's house.
Lin Ge raised his gun to guard the upper floor of the stairwell to prevent Uncle Nine from making another move, and at the same time retreated towards the back door.
Suddenly, Lin Ge suddenly felt a biting chill coming from his feet, as if he had stepped into the ice.
When I looked down, I was shocked and my hair stood on end!
I saw two seven or eight-year-old imps with pale skin and white eyes, holding his feet on the left and right.
"Huh."
"Huh."
The cold laughter echoed in Lin Ge's ears, and he subconsciously wanted to pull out his feet, but found that his feet seemed to be frozen, and he couldn't move at all!
"Bloodmark!"
Lin Ge instantly retracted the shotgun back into the [inventory], and then took out two yellow talismans with "Suppression Charms" written on them and pasted them on the foreheads of the two imps.
"Ahh
With two piercing screams, the two imps hugged Lin Ge's feet tightly and twisted violently, Lin Ge's whole body lost his balance and fell towards the lower floor of the stairwell. But as the yellow charm took effect, he found that he had regained sensation in his feet.
While chanting the mantra, Lin Ge bit his finger and cast the "blood mark" on the yellow talisman attached to the foreheads of the two little ghosts.
The "blood mark" successfully made the little ghost show his true body, and at this time he was already able to attack them, and without avoiding the bullet from the shotgun hitting his foot, Lin Ge took out the "butcher knife" and slashed directly at the little ghost's head.
"Ahh
The imp was cut through the head, screaming and disappearing into two gray smokes.
[Kill "Imp (F-Rank)" to gain 50 reincarnation points.] γ
[Kill "Imp (F-Rank)" to gain 50 reincarnation points.] γ
Lin Ge held on to the wall and tried to stand up, a blood mark on his neck was a surprise, and the blood ran down his neck, already staining his white shirt red.
recalled that when he shot at Uncle Nine just now, that shot was aimed at the other party's head, but he didn't expect it to kill him.
Although it is not clear whether Uncle Nine escaped because of his own ability or because of "being a key plot character".
But this hatred, Lin Ge wrote down.
"Ahem."
Lin Ge coughed up a mouthful of blood, spit on the ground beside him, raised his hand to wipe the blood stains from the corners of his mouth, and his eyes became cold.
"You want me dead...... Then I'll kill you first! β
