When Ji Shanqing turned around and rushed down the stairs, Lin Sanjiu's hysterical roar erupted from the house behind him, "Don't come any closer!"
He couldn't help but stop.
It didn't sound like his master's voice anymore.
In that empty house, Lin Sanjiu's cries, laughter, cries, and whispers reverberated in the air, waking up the people upstairs. As Lin Sanjiu muttered incomprehensibly and nervously, she soon heard the dull thud of a body hitting the wall...
Gritting his teeth, Ji Shanqing steeled his heart and ran down the stairs without looking back. The sound from upstairs grew fainter and fainter. The last thing he heard was Lin Sanjiu's surprised laughter, "Fang Dan? Why are you here? "
This time, she seemed to have seen someone she knew from the past.
Sighing, Ji Shanqing quickly went down to the first floor.
Looking out from the rusty door of the residential building, Ji Shanqing could only see a deathly atmosphere outside, if he disregarded the occasional wailing.
The flower bed in the middle of the residential area was bathed in the pale moonlight. The plants had lost their color and their thick, black shadows. It was as if they had been frozen in the silence. They were like dilapidated statues that had been drained of life.
Ji Shanqing crouched down and hid in the shadow cast by the metal door. He listened for any movement outside.
It had been at least twenty minutes since he escaped from the man and woman. However, the two of them seemed to have vanished into thin air. He waited for a long time, but he didn't see any movement in the residential area.
Ji Shanqing raised one of his eyebrows.
Could it be that Baldy's injury was more serious than he thought?
However, he did not forget that the two of them had sneaked up behind him and stared at him for ten minutes after they pretended to leave. Ji Shanqing looked around nervously. After he was sure that there was no one around, he held his breath and tried his best to open the door without making a sound.
Overturned and dented cars blocked the road in the residential area. Under the dim light of the sky, they formed strange shadows. Dried black stains. It was hard to imagine what kind of liquid it was. Although the scene was not pleasing to the eye, Ji Shanqing could not help but heave a sigh of relief. It seemed like the man and the woman had really left.
"Are you looking for me? Little girl? " Before this thought could fade away, a woman's voice full of interest suddenly sounded from above his head.
The grand prize's body stiffened. He twisted his body and staggered, almost falling to the ground. When he raised his head to look at the source of the sound, he saw a pair of eyes staring at him. The short-haired woman spread her limbs like a spider and stopped on the wall of the second floor. She lowered her head and stared at Ji Shanqing. Her eyes shone with excitement as she smiled at him. Her mouth glistened with saliva.
She stuck out her overly long tongue and licked the corner of her mouth. Without a word, she quickly climbed down.
[Economic Bubble] could not be used on the same target twice within a short period of time. Ji Shanqing had already used it on the short-haired woman once. Now that he was unarmed, the only thing he could do was to turn around and run. However, after a few steps, However, he did not hear any footsteps behind him. Instead, he heard the short-haired woman chuckling, "Room 302 on the third floor, right?"
Ji Shanqing froze in his tracks. He slowly turned his head.
Room 302 was the place where he had placed Lin Sanjiu.
"Yes, I saw it." The way the woman slid down the wall, she looked like a large insect that had learned to stand on its hind legs. When she stood up straight and combed her hair, she looked like a human again. "However, I don't care about that woman. I have something to ask you."
Ji Shanqing did not reply. His gaze quickly swept across the surroundings.
"Are you looking for my companion?" The woman immediately noticed his movement. She smiled and said, "Thanks to you, he is badly injured. I left him in the building over there. Logically speaking, I should have killed you right away. But you're lucky. I'm actually very curious about you … How did you make my attack suddenly become so much stronger? "
Ji Shanqing was stunned. He felt that he did not quite understand what she meant. He frowned and felt that he seemed to have caught on to something. His thoughts whirled and he did not have time to reply.
The short-haired woman glanced at him and clicked her tongue impatiently. Then, she snapped her fingers. She walked leisurely toward Ji Shanqing as if she was teasing him. As she walked, the dirty cleaver hanging on her waist glinted under the moonlight.
After fighting many battles with Lin Sanjiu, Ji Shanqing had developed some knowledge of the world. Judging from their physical attributes, even if the woman did not know that Room 302 was Lin Sanjiu's hiding spot, he was sure that he would be caught within a few minutes.
It seemed that the time he thought he had bought was actually given to him by the other party.
"Wait." Just as the short-haired woman was about to reach him, he quickly raised his hand, "I have a suggestion."
"What is it?"
"I will tell you everything you want to know. But, in exchange, you have to answer all my questions. If you don't agree to my condition, I would rather die than tell you a single word. "
The short-haired woman narrowed her eyes and smiled, "You are so naive. Now that you are in my hands, you wish you could die … But, I also want to know what questions you will ask. Why don't we play? "
She was only a step away from Ji Shanqing. All of a sudden, a gust of wind blew into Ji Shanqing's nostrils. He tried his best not to reveal any expression that he shouldn't have. He held his breath and nodded.
"Then, you can answer first," the short-haired woman said indifferently. She licked her lips again. "What did you do just now?"
"That's my ability. I can increase the attack power of any target I choose." Ji Shanqing gulped and purposely only answered half of the question. If his guess was close to the truth, then …
Just as he expected, the short-haired woman was stunned. The smile on her face disappeared for the first time.
"What ability?" She blinked her eyes in confusion. She looked at Ji Shanqing with suspicion in her eyes, which gradually turned into disappointment. "You're not going to talk about superpowers, are you?"
She was right. She didn't know anything about the evolved ability!
Ji Shanqing's breath quickened.
Every word he said next was crucial.
"If you think that I am like my companions and have mental illnesses, then you are wrong. If they're all mentally ill, "he said carefully, enunciating each word," then you're wrong. I'm not talking about superpowers. Neither the government nor the aliens have done anything to me. What I know is that I'm not talking about superpowers. The short-haired woman stared at him doubtfully. When she was about to say something, Ji Shanqing interrupted her, "But, I have already answered one of your questions.
The short-haired woman stared at him suspiciously. Just as she was about to say something, Ji Shanqing interrupted her, "But, I've already answered one of your questions. For the sake of fairness, and so that I can explain the situation more clearly to you later, you have to answer my question now. "
"The situation seems to be tilting in my favor," Ji Shanqing comforted himself.
The situation seemed to be tilting slightly in his favor, Ji Shanqing thought to himself as if to comfort himself.
What happened to this world? "Ji Shanqing comforted himself. "What happened to this world?"
"You can stand here with a clear mind. Don't tell me you don't know about the crypt particles in the air?" The short-haired woman opened her mouth to laugh again. This time, she was so close to Ji Shanqing that he could see the blood between her teeth. "Don't tell me that the whole world has been ruined for two years and you are still a vegetable that has just woken up."
'Crypt particles?' Ji Shanqing's attention was caught by these words. It took him a few seconds to realize the information that the woman had accidentally revealed.
It had been more than two years, but she obviously didn't know anything about the Samsara Realm.
To her, she and her master were just like her. They were all people who grew up on this planet …
"You guessed it. That's exactly what happened," Ji Shanqing answered with a straight face, suppressing the excitement and confusion in his heart.
"Oh, so that's how it is —"
The short-haired woman raised her head and a look of realization appeared on her face. Before Ji Shanqing could nod, she suddenly let out a shrill laugh and pounced on him. He pounced on Ji Shanqing and swung the blood-stained kitchen knife at the grand prize in the shape of a half-moon with a swooshing sound.
Ji Shanqing didn't expect this sudden attack. If he didn't take a step back because he couldn't stand the smell on her body, his face would have been sliced open. His face was probably going to be cut open. He took a few steps back and shouted, "Don't you want to know my ability?"
"Ability?" The short-haired woman chuckled and said softly, "I've seen a lot of mental patients. Even though it's rare to see someone as logical and logical as you, it's not like there are none. Since you're also a mental patient, it's much easier to explain — "
This time. Ji Shanqing had no choice but to throw himself to the ground and roll on the ground to avoid the bloody knife in her hand. Even so, the knife still tore a large part of his coat on the back of his body.
Ji Shanqing's vision blurred for a moment.
At the end of the day, he was still a grand prize. It didn't matter if the outer packaging was a little damaged, but if his coat was too damaged, it was no different from being torn apart. As for what would happen if someone other than Lin Sanjiu tore him apart, Ji Shanqing had no idea. He didn't even dare to think about it.
Panting heavily, he pressed his hand against the pieces of his coat that were fluttering in the wind. Only then did he regain his vision. Seeing this, the short-haired woman burst into laughter, "What's the big deal if your coat is a little damaged? You know, I'm going to strip you of your clothes after you die! "
Ji Shanqing felt as if a bolt of lightning had struck his brain. Rolling on the ground again, he connected all the pieces of his coat together. He finally understood.
There was a lot of food piled up in the corridor, the strange situation of the residents, the death of Sister Cui, and everything that the bald man and the short-haired woman had said … and the most important thing was that although these two people were scary, they obviously did not suffer from any mental illness. Also, they had not been teleported away after such a long time.
However, before he could sort out his thoughts, it was already too late.
Ji Shanqing, who had been through a night of danger, had exhausted his stamina to an astonishing level. Now that he was distracted, he didn't even know what was happening. All he saw was a blur before his eyes. The next thing he knew, the kitchen knife had stabbed into his abdomen. Then … It was the sudden darkness that enveloped the grand prize.
"Hmm?"
Perhaps the short-haired woman felt that something wasn't right, she pulled the knife out. Without the support of the knife, Ji Shanqing fell to the ground. He couldn't see anything anymore. His hand was still clutching the hole in his coat.
The short-haired woman's lips curled into a satisfied smile. She stuck out her tongue and licked the tip of her nose. Then, she stepped on Ji Shanqing.
"I … I have a question." The young man's eyes had lost their luster, but his voice was still as gentle as before. However, it was inevitable that his voice was getting weaker. "People who … who suffered from mental illness? Are there any cases where they recovered? "
"How would I know?" The short-haired woman sucked on her teeth and sucked the blood out. "Before they can recover, we'll eat them all."
Ji Shanqing coughed violently. His face was flushed. The darkness in front of him had faded a little. He could vaguely see the kitchen knife that the short-haired woman was slowly raising.
He was Lin Sanjiu's grand prize. No matter who opened it, the contents should belong to Lin Sanjiu … right?
As this thought swirled in his mind, the blurry knife stabbed toward his chest again.
When his vision darkened again, Ji Shanqing knew that his five-month lifespan was coming to an end.
Then, he heard a dull thud.
"It's you?" the short-haired woman shouted.
Ji Shanqing couldn't see anything in the darkness. He could only listen to the voice beside him with some trepidation. He could vaguely sense that there was another person in front of him. The person was standing between him and the short-haired woman.
"Impossible. You jumped down from the third floor. How can you be fine?" Ji Shanqing's heart raced when he heard what the short-haired woman said. He couldn't believe it, but he still called out in a low voice, "... Sister?"
"Yeah," Lin Sanjiu's voice echoed in front of him.
"Sis! It's really you! Are you alright? " Overwhelmed with joy, the darkness in front of him faded away once more. The familiar silhouette of Ji Shanqing's silhouette gradually became clearer in his eyes.
He quickly told Lin Sanjiu everything he knew. He was afraid that Lin Sanjiu didn't understand something, "Sis, there is something called crypt particles in the air in this world. For some unknown reason, they can cause mental disorders. The only way to avoid suffering from mental illness is to not eat food that is exposed to the air. However, for some unknown reason, even for people who suffer from mental illness, their meat is the only safe source of food … The people who live here are all mentally ill. Every single one of them was mentally ill and was their food! Also, this woman isn't a posthuman. She is a low-level duoluozhong! "
Ji Shanqing didn't hear a reply, but his vision had mostly recovered. The moonlight illuminated everything in front of him.
His heart sank to the bottom.
Lin Sanjiu, who had jumped down from the third floor, was squatting on the ground with her back facing him. At this moment, he was squatting on the ground with his back facing him, his eyes staring straight at an empty space, his mouth constantly muttering something, as if there was an invisible person there. She was so engrossed in talking to the air that she did not notice the short-haired woman who was walking towards her step by step from not far away. (To be continued.)
PS:
4444 words, 6666! I made a mistake in the previous chapter and wrote 410 as 500 … Hmm, I'm also curious about what happened.
I'm really tired from writing lately. Plus, my results are average, so I try to drag it out every day. I don't want to write anymore. That's why I rushed to the dead end today … Sigh, if only I could rest for a while and my readers wouldn't abandon me.
[Wait! What did I see? Is it Brother T's Heshibi?! Please allow me to use Yue Yunpeng's face to say, "Oh my god!"! I'm so scared of you! I'm so happy! My vanity will be settled tomorrow! Hahahaha!
