Early in the morning, when the sun had just risen, Adil left home and walked outside.
It was still very early, and there weren't many pedestrians walking on the road.
"If I remember correctly, it should be this direction."
Adil walked through a small alley, looking at the familiar yet strange road in front of him.
He left home early in the morning, not to go to school, but to have his own plans. He wanted to search for resources in this world and prepare to recover his strength.
After going around and around for a while, he arrived at a remote alley.
The alley was very remote, and there were very few shops here. But unlike other places, there were still many pedestrians here, even though it was early in the morning.
Most of these pedestrians wore loose black clothes or long robes, and many wore masks on their faces, as if they were guarding against something.
When they saw Adil walking in from outside, some passersby looked at him in surprise.
However, in their eyes, Adil's appearance had completely changed. From the appearance of a ten-year-old child, he had transformed into an adult wearing a mask.
After looking for a while, they couldn't see anything, so they withdrew their gazes and continued walking, appearing very quiet.
Adil wasn't surprised by this situation.
This place, even though it was the old street of this city, was also a place that hid evil.
Human traffickers, prostitutes, drug dealers, killers … Many things that ordinary people feared or were wary of could more or less be found here.
The reason why Adil could find this place was because of Coral.
As a veteran police officer who had been in the local area for decades, Coral was very clear about all kinds of places here.
In the past, Coral had warned Xim more than once to stay as far away from this place as possible.
Gently raising his head, Adil looked at the peaceful old street in front of him, and continued walking forward with a calm face.
Many things on this old street looked very old. There were few street lights, and the various houses and buildings looked very old, looking very messy.
There were many beggars lying on the ground, but unlike the beggars in other places, most of the beggars here were disabled, and there were cuts on their bodies.
"Huh?"
After walking along the road to a certain corner, Adil's footsteps stopped and he looked in a certain direction.
In the corner, there was a man lying in Silence. His clothes were messy, and his originally clean skin was covered with rotting flesh. Red and white liquid flowed over it, and there were even worms crawling around.
And on that person's body, there was a large swarm of red bugs that looked like flies crawling on his body, sucking his flesh.
This scene was enough to make one's scalp go numb if they saw it on any other day, and they wouldn't be able to eat for the entire day.
"This feeling …"
Looking at the corpse in the distance, Adil was somewhat surprised.
Even though he looked miserable, he could sense that the person in the distance was not dead. It was just that he was not far from death.
There was a strange aura lingering around the other party's body. It was filled with deep malice, and it was constantly devouring the other party's life force to strengthen itself.
It could be seen that this situation had been going on for a very long time. By now, the aura had completely corroded the other party's body, and it was just a little bit away from completely devouring the other party.
If there were no accidents, in a few days' time, the other party would completely become a corpse, and it would be impossible to save him.
But right now, there was still a chance.
After thinking a lot and hesitating for a moment, in the end, Adil still chose to go forward.
This could also be counted as an opportunity.
Since the person in front of me has fallen to such a state, it was very obvious that he had come into contact with something before.
Through this person, I might be able to come into contact with the extraordinary power of this world.
"I advise you not to go up." A hoarse voice suddenly sounded. Although the voice was hoarse, the pitch was very high, and it seemed very abrupt in this peaceful street.
It was an old man wearing a red long-sleeved coat. The skin on his body was very rough, like a layer of dry tree bark.
He stood in front of a row of shops, looked at Adil's actions, and said, "The things on this person are not things that ordinary people can touch."
"Before you, there were three unlucky people who wanted to touch this fellow, and they all died in the last day."
Hearing this, Adil was a bit surprised, and he couldn't help but turn around and look at the old man.
"There is no trace of life force?"
At first glance, Adil felt that something was wrong.
Vitality was something that every living being possessed. Just like mental power, it was considered one of the most basic powers that a living person possessed.
If a person did not have any trace of life force, it meant that they were already dead. Without the power to support their body, they would naturally die.
However, the situation was completely different for this old man.
The old man's life force had completely disappeared, and most of his bodily functions had stopped.
However, there was a completely different kind of energy in the body that replaced the existence of life force, supporting the body to continue moving.
"He's like a Corpse Ghoul, but he's a living dead that maintains his consciousness?"
Looking at the old man, Adil came to this conclusion.
However, on the surface, he still smiled and politely said, "Thank you for the reminder."
As soon as he finished speaking, he continued to walk forward, attracting the attention of many people.
Behind him, seeing Adil's actions, the old man's expression was calm, and he only shook his head before turning to leave.
Just as he took a step forward, he stopped, attracted by the change in front of him.
In front of him, as Adil walked forward, red spots danced around the corpse.
If one were to zoom in, they would be able to clearly see the true appearance of these spots. They were actually tiny, red bugs.
These bugs had terrifying appearances, red wings, and sharp fangs. One look and one could tell that they were not to be trifled with.
However, after sensing Adil's arrival, these red bugs seemed to have encountered a natural enemy. They all flew back, not daring to stay where they were.
"Are these Life Devouring Bugs afraid?"
Looking at this scene, the old man's eyes widened and he felt that it was a little unbelievable.
He understood things like Life Devouring Bugs very well.
They were terrifying creatures born from curses. Even though they usually looked harmless like flies, as long as one landed on your body, thousands of them would grow in the blink of an eye and devour you.
Even for him, it would be very difficult to deal with these terrifying things. It would be impossible for him to chase them away as easily as Adil did.
What shocked him even more was what happened next.
In front of the corpse, looking at the red bugs that filled the sky, Adil raised his head. His pure black eyes were deep, and at that moment, there seemed to be some kind of light spreading out.
In the next moment, under countless people's shocked gazes, the group of red bugs wailed as they shined. At that moment, they were all ignited, letting out waves of low howls.
The bugs burned and fell to the ground, turning into pure ashes.
Every time a bug landed on the ground, there would be a low howl that carried a horrifying malice. It was as if someone was cursing beside one's ear in a low voice, causing one's hair to stand on end.
However, even so, these things still burned as they fell. They couldn't cause any waves in front of the person in front of them and were directly turned into ashes.
Looking at this scene in Silence, at that moment, who knew how many people were shocked and sucked in a breath of cold air.
"This is a true shaman …"
At that moment, looking at this scene, in a certain corner, there was someone who was wild with joy. Looking at Adil's back, it was as if he had found some kind of rare treasure.
Feeling these gazes, Adil didn't care. He just silently half-squatted down and carefully looked at the situation of the other party's body.
After checking the other party's body, Adil was a little surprised.
Because the person who fell to the ground was just a woman, and looking at the situation, she didn't seem to be very old.
Of course, although it was a woman, at this stage, in reality, there was no difference. Every part of her body was rotten, and she was just a pile of rotten meat.
Using the meager amount of magic that he had gathered during this period of time, Adil purified the few wounds on the other party's body, then suppressed the deep malice on the other party's body, and the surgery ended.
This was also because of the limited conditions. Due to the current conditions, many complicated methods couldn't be used, and he could only deal with it in a simple way, barely saving the other party's life.
However, just this alone was enough to make many people feel shocked.
Among the people who were watching on the street, there were clearly a few people whose eyes lit up, feeling the final result.
After doing all that, Adil stood up, looked at the person who was still lying on the ground, and frowned.
The other party was too weak, even if the malice on her body was suppressed, she was still very weak, and without a period of time to recuperate, she probably wouldn't be able to wake up.
Thinking to this point, Ye Futian sighed inwardly, and under the gaze of the crowd, he carried the person up and walked out.
Behind him, the people on the street stared blankly at Adil's actions, and when they saw the person in Adil's embrace, they all frowned, not daring to follow him.
However, there were a few people who didn't hesitate at all. After seeing that Adil left, they immediately moved forward quickly, following behind Adil from afar.
The surroundings of the Old Alley was a complicated and spacious long street. Adil walked left and right, and very quickly, he shook off the majority of the people who were following him.
"Come out." After arriving at a certain spacious area, while carrying the person in his embrace, Adil turned around and looked in a certain direction.
There, an aura was coming from that direction, and even though Adil had gone around for so long, he still hadn't lost sight of that person.
"Mister …" A woman's voice sounded from afar, and Adil suddenly felt that the voice was somewhat familiar.
At that corner, a tall and slender young lady wearing a black windbreaker walked over, and the aura coming from her body gave Adil a very familiar feeling.
Looking at this young lady, Adil was somewhat surprised.
He indeed knew this person, and in the past few days, he had basically seen this person every day.
This person was Teresa, Adil's classmate, and it was said that she was the daughter of a certain major figure.
However, at this moment, compared to her usual quiet and elegant appearance, Teresa's appearance was somewhat different. Not only was her expression grave and stern, the aura all over her body was also ice-cold, and it was said that this aura contained some sort of unique power.
This was what caused Adil to be surprised.
