Chapter 156 Taboo Sequence B-The Kiss of Black Henna
Black rain, black fog, black monsters.
The illusory subway station has disappeared, and the place has quietly turned into ruins.
Xiao Yu slowly walked toward the monster. The dried blood on his helmet seemed to come to life, exuding a seductive and strange aura that made the black monster salivate.
They instantly became excited and roared crazily at her. The big mouths behind them kept opening and closing, spitting out disgusting saliva, and soon they rushed over like cannonballs.
Xiao Yu couldn't remember how many times he had seen these monsters.
During the long period of fifty years, she never died and wandered in places that ordinary people could not see.
Most of the time, she was like an ignorant child, just wandering around unconsciously. She would only regain her senses when it rained, falling into painful memories again and again.
She doesn't know why she is still alive.
When the heavy rain falls, she will appear together with the fog, losing her memory for a short period of time. She will face those people who were sucked into the fog as a normal person, and relive the tragic memories of the past.
Sadly, however, those people's final choice was almost the same as those fifty years ago. They all chose to let her wear a helmet to lure monsters, many of whom were powerful alienators.
Of course... anyone who tried to do that is dead.
In this mist, in this dream, ordinary people cannot deal with her.
She often wonders, are there really no so-called true and kind people in this world?
If it really existed, then she should have met it today.
Regardless of whether the guy behind him is real or just pretending to survive, at least he has seen it, and that is enough.
She was willing to give the guy a chance to survive.
She was limping, but her steps became more determined, but she never looked back to see the guy's expression.
Because she is afraid.
She was afraid to see the guy looking relieved at this moment, looking like he was surviving the disaster.
Just wait until the rain stops, she thought.
Suddenly, her hand was held tightly by someone, and the hand was very strong, as if he did not intend to let her move forward.
She turned around and saw a smiling face.
"This guy...is clearly as black as a coal, but he always likes to smile with his teeth bared."
Even in such a situation, Xiao Yu almost laughed out loud, but saw the guy suddenly grabbed the helmet on her head and winked at her.
"The helmet is good, bring it to you."
There was a sudden light on his head, and his waist-length hair fell away, and Xiao Yu stayed where he was.
…
"She didn't lie to you. In front of these things, the alienated person's abilities are almost ineffective."
Seeing Gu Ji take off the helmet on the girl's head, Leng finally spoke to remind her, Si seemed to be afraid that he would seek death.
Gu Ji said nonchalantly: "What does that mean?"
"It means that in front of them, you are just an ordinary person."
"Oh." Gu Ji raised his eyebrows, "But I am just an ordinary person."
Saying this, he raised the helmet without hesitation and put it on his head.
…
When Xiao Yu came back to her senses, what she saw was Gu Ji putting on her helmet. For the first time, her expression changed drastically.
"Take it off quickly, you will die!"
As if to confirm her words, the monster not far away became more and more manic and rushed over like crazy.
Only then did Gu Ji clearly see the number of monsters. They were so dark and almost endless that it made people feel desperate.
"It must be a little late to pick now."
Gu Ji muttered to himself guiltily and walked towards the monster step by step.
Xiao Yu limped after him and shouted: "Give me your helmet quickly, it's just a few bites, I'm not afraid of pain..."
The words that followed came to an abrupt end, because the overwhelming monsters had already flown up, drowning Gu Ji's figure, and piled up into a small black slope.
"How could..."
Xiao Yu stared blankly at the scene in front of her. Thinking of Gu Ji's appearance when she snatched the helmet, she was a little confused. Are there really such stupid people in the world?
She had wanted to see such stupidity countless times, but now that she had actually seen it, she regretted it.
That guy could have lived.
An emotion called sadness poured into his heart. Xiao Yu was stunned for a long time, and suddenly felt that something was wrong.
In her sight, those crazy monsters did not move at all. If they were eating people, they would never be so quiet.
As if answering her doubts.
The next second, the small slope where the black monsters were piled collapsed, and the black shadows were cut open, blood spattered, revealing the slightly thin figure inside.
It is the ancient silence.
His back was turned to Xiao Yu, and his body was covered in blood. It was hard to tell whether it was the monster's or his own. His eyes were tightly closed, and a cold smile slowly appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Boy, watch carefully..."
He raised his right hand, and black lines appeared on the palm of his hand, like a closed eye. The whole person still looked ordinary, but it gave people an inexplicable sense of oppression.
"Sorrow ability...is used like this."
After the words fell, "Gu Ji" raised his arm and waved lightly, and the air seemed to fluctuate slightly.
The next second, the large monster in front of him stagnated at the same time, its body was divided into several segments, and it became silent for an instant.
With just one blow, hundreds of monsters disappeared. This was simply a power that ordinary people could not understand.
Xiao Yu opened his mouth wide, his gray eyes filled with shock.
Groups of monsters have long lost their minds. Instead of being frightened by the sight in front of them, they pounce on them even more crazily. Monsters appear overwhelmingly like a black cloud.
But what "Ancient Silence" did was just wave its arms again and again.
With every swing, groups of monsters will fall down.
…
I don’t know how long it took, but the dark clouds began to dissipate, the rain gradually became lighter, and the surrounding fog slowly disappeared.
Gu Ji's side was almost covered with corpses, and no living monsters could be seen anymore. He was covered in blood and stood motionless.
Like a god.
When Gu Ji opened his eyes, he felt as if his body had been hollowed out. A feeling of exhaustion swept through his body instantly. He almost lost his balance and almost fell to the ground due to inattention.
Fortunately, someone helped him up in time.
He turned around, and next to him was the expressionless Skull Girl.
A cold chuckle rang out, his tone full of teasing.
"Oh, you still have the nerve to talk to me for two minutes. This time I used your power. In this case, you should be the one who is weak."
Does it take so long to remember such a trivial matter... Gu Ji pretended not to hear, and sat on the ground looking at the girl.
The latter sat down and the two looked at each other for a long time without speaking.
Gu Ji felt that someone needed to break the silence. After thinking about it, he pointed at his head and said:
"Do you think...this helmet matches me well?"
Xiao Yu's expression froze, and he nodded: "It's indeed a good match, so I'll give it to you."
"Send it to me? How can you be so embarrassed...wait, isn't there any danger?"
"Don't worry, even if there is danger, I don't think you will be afraid."
"Oh, speaking of it, this is the first time I received a gift from a girl..." Gu Ji muttered, taking off his helmet and hugging her tightly.
The corners of Xiao Yu's lips raised slightly, he was silent for a moment, and sighed: "It turns out there are really people like you in the world."
"Someone like me?"
"How should I put it? Brave, kind, or should I say a little stupid?"
Xiao Yu smiled, and her voice was no longer cold, but became crisp and sweet, just like when the two first met.
She seems to have turned back into the brave girl who loves to laugh.
"Such people are not uncommon. In fact, in terms of stupidity, you are the one..." Gu Ji looked at her and also smiled.
"Actually, you are much braver than me."
The sun gradually breaks through the clouds, and the setting sun uses up its last remaining light, still trying to illuminate the world.
Xiao Yu raised his eyes to look at the sky, the setting sun was like blood.
"The rain is about to stop, and it's time for me to disappear. Maybe I won't appear again..."
She whispered: "My name is Xiao Yu, can you tell me your name?"
"Gu Ji." Gu Ji hugged his helmet tightly and looked at the girl.
"Gu Ji, Gu Ji..." Xiao Yu repeated it several times, as if trying to remember the name, and then smiled shyly at Gu Ji.
"It would be great if I could meet you then."
The warm sunshine shone on her face, Gu Ji squinted her eyes and looked up at the sky.
The dark clouds dissipated and the setting sun burned half of the sky red.
The rain stopped.
When he lowered his head again, the girl named Xiao Yu had disappeared.
He sat there blankly, looking at the bloody helmet in his hand in trance.
"Leng, tell me, if I were an ordinary person, would I make the same choice as those people before me?"
Leng didn't answer for a long time.
"Forget it, you are not human."
Gu Ji suddenly felt bored and ended the topic directly.
"Quick, quick, quick," Leng came over and urged, "Let me come out."
Gu Ji hesitated for a while, then stretched out his right hand. The black lines on the palm of his hand changed, forming a scarlet eyeball that kept turning.
"Is this you? How disgusting."
Gu Ji couldn't bear it.
In fact, at the beginning, he didn't know that Leng would take action, but even though he was clearly feeling very guilty, he still rushed out as soon as his mind became hot. Now that he thinks about it, he still feels a little scared.
Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, Leng actually didn't let go.
"Didn't you say that the alienated person's abilities are ineffective? How can you defeat those monsters?"
"I'm not an alienator."
He replied with a cold smile, and Gu Ji was speechless.
He waited silently and found that the surrounding fog and the black rain on the ground poured into the eyeballs in his palm.
"I knew this guy had a purpose, and I'm afraid he's trying to get some benefits now..."
Gu Ji murmured, and his eyelids suddenly became heavy.
When he opened his eyes again, he found that he was in the clinic, and there were still traces of saliva on the pillow on the table.
His neck was a little sore. He shook his head and found that Mei Xinyue was lying on the side, breathing steadily. It seemed that she was not in danger, but she just hadn't woken up yet.
He breathed a sigh of relief and hugged the helmet tightly in his arms. Suddenly he felt something in his heart and turned to look at the door.
I saw a young man in black uniform standing at the door. He looked carefree and had an earring in his left ear.
Patient...?
Gu Ji felt happy, maybe because he was still awake, so he said something very enthusiastically.
“Welcome.”
His neck was a little sore. He shook his head and found that Mei Xinyue was lying on the side, breathing steadily. It seemed that she was not in danger, but she just hadn't woken up yet.
