In the banquet hall, Li Qing stood up.

On his right, the mayor of the old city was on the verge of death, and the hot blood splashed on the dinner plate and tablecloth, staining Li Qing's clothes, he didn't care, but patted Xia Yi's shoulder.

Through his clothes, he could feel that Xia Yi's body had begun to wither, and as he said before, when this show ended, all the affected people present would die.

Including Xia Yi himself.

Li Qing didn't know what kind of extraordinary ability this was, he was only a little lucky, fortunately he had an adventure before, and he had been prepared, otherwise he would have fallen into the same fate now.

"Do you think I can sit in this position, really a lascivious waste?"

A subtle voice rang out.

Crisp, continuous, like a music box.

At the same time, the scattered blood of the entire banquet hall began to gather and condense, outlining a strange and strange shape.

It's like some kind of spell, inscribed in this huge banquet hall.

"I already knew about you and Tang Xiaomeng."

"Not only that, but I know exactly what is going on in the minds of all of you here."

"He's just a profiteer who wants to make a profit, this guy always wants to betray me, and he's even started to contact other forces."

"Aren't you curious, why am I holding a banquet here?"

Li Qing glanced at the stage, which was already close to the endgame, and the actors were dead and wounded.

Xia Yi's thinking had become sluggish, and he would soon be completely occupied by the whispering that filled his mind.

Still, he could tell.

The power of all the strangers in this banquet hall is being drawn, condensed, and turned into a concrete thing.

Most of the aliens' extraordinary abilities come from the knowledge contained in some relics left behind in ancient times, and when the stranger dies, this knowledge may be collected into a part of his body or the objects around him, forming relics with wonderful powers.

As a result, powerful strangers collect all sorts of relics, some to strengthen themselves, some to use as hole cards, and some to trade.

At this moment, Li Qing was the one who was present, and all the humans and strangers had been refined into a relic.

The pollution contained in this thing will be far more than ordinary seeing, and it will also become Li Qing's property.

From the very beginning, he wanted to kill those present.

So Li Qing acquiesced to Xia Yi and Tang Xiaomeng's actions, letting them jump around under their noses.

It doesn't matter, it's all the same.

Li Qing came to the table in the middle and lifted the bloodstained table open, revealing the trapdoor underneath.

Opening the door, he dragged one of the people inside out.

When Xia Yi saw the man, even though his body was already difficult to move, his eyes immediately widened.

It's Tang Xiaomeng.

"You may not know that she has unknowingly inherited the power of strangers, and it is a very special kind, do you think I will really fall in love with a singer?"

Li Qing placed Tang Xiaomeng in the center of the spell.

The condensed, twisted blood gradually poured into her body, tearing through the skin, burrowing into the veins and infiltrating the internal organs.

Even from Xia Yi's point of view, Tang Xiaomeng is gradually being irreversibly seriously polluted, and he is constantly alienating from humans to monsters.

Li Qing's eyes became dark, and the piercing murmur also flowed in his mind, he seemed to see the distant stars, the lonely dark yellow planet, the magnificent and great buildings on it, and the twisted and ugly outhabitants.

The sound of the music box is endless, as if it has become the background music of "The King in Yellow" on the stage.

Xia Yi's whole body tensed.

The whispers in his ears became noisy, causing blood to flow from the piercings.

His eyes were bleeding with tears, blood was oozing from the corners of his mouth, and his nostrils were already occupied by hot blood.

Flutter –

Along with Xia Yi's difficult movements, the blood vessels on his body also exploded, and blood splattered, staining his clean and tidy suit.

"Li Qing."

Xia Yi's voice was hoarse, his vocal cords were actually about to be torn, and he just used all his strength to make a little movement.

He walked in the direction of Li Qing and Tang Xiaomeng.

Plop –

Losing his balance due to the damage to his body, Xia Yi fell to the ground, he stretched out his hand and crawled forward on the ground, his eyes staring at Tang Xiaomeng, who was constantly being alienated.

Li Qing was unhurried, and even enjoyed it a little.

He picked up the wine bottle next to him and poured himself a glass, the burgundy liquid like blood, swinging in the goblet.

Picking up the wine glass, Li Qing was about to drink it all when he heard a subtle movement from outside.

The voice was high and low, and it didn't really sound true, it seemed to come from the street?

Li Qing's expression froze slightly.

Now that the red mist is shrouded outside, it is impossible for all the sounds to come out, how can there be a sound?

He heard the voice grow clearer and louder.

High-pitched, mournful, like a chirping bird.

It was only at this time that Li Qing heard clearly that this was the sound of suona.

In addition, there is the noise of gongs and drums, the salute is fired, and it is lively, as if the procession of welcoming relatives is passing by the street outside.

When the sound of the suona reached its climax, suddenly, everything came to an abrupt end.

Li Qing narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at the door of the banquet hall.

The next moment.

Knock –

A heavy knock rang out from the mahogany door.

Xia Yi couldn't hear the sound anymore, he only crawled in the direction of Tang Xiaomeng, dragging out a long blood stain.

Knock –

The knock sounded again, this time louder, almost like a knock on the door.

Li Qing didn't know what was outside the door, he had originally sent a team of people outside the door, but at this moment, he couldn't hear another sound at all.

Knock –

The third knock resounded throughout the ballroom, causing the windows to shake and the tables and chairs to tremble.

Li Qing could feel the aura of danger, and even more obvious than this dangerous premonition was a weird, terrifying, indescribable, unknowable horror.

But he also knew that soon, Tang Xiaomeng would have to absorb all the knowledge and pollution, and then Li Qing would be able to absorb the pure knowledge in it and filter out the extra madness.

This is what makes Tang Xiaomeng special.

At that time, Li Qing can cross the threshold and become a stranger beyond the world.

He seemed to see the scene of his own visit to the gods and his ascension to the top of the world, and he saw the glory and wealth, immortality, and all his desires being satisfied, far beyond imagination.

After a while, Li Qing realized that he had just fallen into a hallucination.

Bang –

However, the door to the ballroom was kicked open in this gap.

A man with a suona in his hand who seemed to be leading the team jumped into the room in great strides.

"Hahahaha, here comes the chicken soup!"

Qiao Dui shouted happily, and led the team of walking corpses behind him, along with the surging red mist, into the banquet hall.
