Chapter 8 The God-Stealer (please vote for further reading!!!)
At 8:30 in the evening, the bright moonlight illuminated the yard, like mercury, coating the piles of dead rats with a layer of crystal light.
Ma Wei held a kerosene lamp in his hand and looked at the pile of rats nearly half as tall as a man in front of him, his expression extremely ugly.
One wave comes after another. Why hasn't the meeting with the fourth prince been settled yet? A bunch of dead rats appear out of thin air.
For Ma Wei, who has a very serious mysophobia, dead mice filled with hundreds of thousands of bacteria and viruses are definitely one of the things he least wants to touch!
Why keep a cat?
The cat catches the mouse!
result
He never expected that the biggest mole would be right next to him.
Those dead mice had their throats bitten off, and there was a trace of blood on the corners of their mouths. Judging from the teeth marks, they probably came from the mouths of different cats.
What makes Ma Wei even more desperate is that even though he has reached the backyard at this moment, he can still see stray cats jumping up the courtyard wall and throwing dead mice in their mouths into the yard.
Fortunately, at this moment, Fat Orange raised his paw and shouted softly:
"Disperse!"
Swish, swish, swish!
The stray cats that were entrenched on the courtyard wall disappeared in an instant after hearing Fat Orange's order. Their movements were uniform. In less than half a minute, all the stray cats disappeared, leaving only a pile of dead mice.
"Brother is really a wise man!" Xiao Hei in Ma Wei's arms made a complimenting voice.
"Let's check it out."
Ignoring Xiao Hei's flattery, Fat Orange twisted his round butt and picked up a dead mouse: "Don't get too close, I'll show you."
After saying that, Fat Orange put the dead mouse on the ground not far away, stretched out his sharp claws that shone with cold light, and lightly scratched the softest belly of the mouse. The skin and flesh were immediately separated, and the wound was smooth and flat, as if that
Not claws, but sharp blades.
Just when Ma Wei was surprised by the sharpness of Fat Orange's claws, a general black mist rose from the breach, like a maggot attached to a bone, and instantly pounced on Fat Orange, who was very close at hand!
Fat Orange, who had been on guard for a long time, dodged, hooked the black mist with his claws, and slapped the ground hard!
puff!
In the slightly dull sound, the black mist was torn into pieces. It did not dissipate immediately, but instead twisted firmly, like a poisonous snake that had lost its head, which was extremely weird.
Seeing this scene, Ma Wei narrowed his eyes, walked forward slowly, squatted down, picked up a branch, broke it into two sections, carefully picked up a fragment of black mist, and observed it carefully.
"Xiao Hei, be careful." Fat Orange suddenly reminded him.
"Meow! Don't worry, brother!"
Xiao Hei, who was squatting in front of Ma Wei, vowed: "No one can hurt Master Meow as long as I am here!"
From the short game just now, Ma Wei also saw that Black Mist's speed was far inferior to that of Maomao. With Fat Orange and Little Hei around, he was not worried that Black Mist could hurt him.
After looking at it for a long time, Ma Wei found that with his own knowledge, he could not explain such a strange black mist. However, according to his inference, this was either some kind of 'symbiont' composed of countless small bugs invisible to the naked eye, or something beyond.
He recognized some special power of common sense.
After thinking for a while, Ma Wei took off the glass shell of the kerosene lamp with one hand, moved the black mist fragments caught in the branches to the flames and burned them.
Zhi. Zhi.
After being roasted on the flames for a long time, the black mist fragments finally showed signs of melting. It twisted wildly, and its body melted like grease like snow. Finally, it turned into black droplets, which fell to the edge of the lampstand with a 'clack' and lost its appearance.
activity.
Ma Wei suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense mood eased a little. Although he didn't know what this ghost thing was, he at least found a weapon that could restrain the opponent.
"There is no smell of burnt feathers, so it seems that there should be no protein in it, but it would be too arbitrary to judge that this is not some kind of symbiont based on this." Ma Wei muttered.
"Fat Orange, when these rats with black mist in their bodies were still alive, did they look any different than before?"
"I've become more aggressive and bolder," said Fat Orange.
Ma Wei nodded: "You are right, these black mist are not ordinary, they are extremely aggressive and very dangerous."
"Dad! Dad!"
Yunia's call came from the house, and Mavey immediately responded after hearing it: "I'm in the yard!"
After a while, Yunia ran over with the little bear: "Dad, dinner is ready, Mrs. Cecil asked you to come over for dinner."
"You guys eat first, I'll come over after I'm done."
After throwing away the branches, Ma Wei dusted off his hands and was about to dig a hole and pour kerosene over the contaminated dead rats to burn them clean, when he suddenly remembered something.
Before today, the strange black mist had never appeared, but it happened after the arrival of the gods. In this case
Could Yunia know something?
Thinking of this, Ma Wei turned around and said: "Yunia, come here."
Yunia, who was about to leave, trotted forward and blinked: "What's wrong, Dad?"
"Do you recognize this thing?"
Ma Wei asked, pointing to the remaining fragments of black mist.
Yunia stepped forward and stared at the black mist fragments for a while, then suddenly stretched out her little hand to grab a piece, and crushed it with her fingers. The black mist fragments turned into dregs and fluttered down, even the struggle process was omitted.
"It's a curse, Dad."
"curse?"
"Yeah." Yunia nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "I don't know the specific category, but the commonality of curses is contagion. All creatures that come into contact with the cursed person will be infected."
Hearing this, Ma Wei was shocked. He couldn't help but look at the dead rats piled up in a hill on one side. His Adam's apple squirmed and he swallowed.
Of course he had heard of curses, but contagious curses seemed to him more like
plague!
A plague spread by rats?
Isn’t that the Black Death?!
"This is not a disease that humans understand."
Fat Orange seemed to see through what Ma Wei was thinking, and said in a serious tone: "Since Yunia said this is a curse, it proves that it is essentially different from ordinary plagues!"
"Yes, Dad." Yunia agreed: "Using human means, plague can be controlled and cured, but curses cannot. Once contracted by a curse, no medicine can cure them. Only the gift of gods can save them.
."
Saying that, Yunia hugged Ma Wei's arm with a smile: "Dad, don't worry, although Yunia can't give you a gift, dad, you can use Yunia's power at any time! These little curses can't hurt you at all.
Not as good as daddy!"
"You can't give me a gift, but I can use your power at any time?"
Ma Wei looked at her doubtfully: "What do you mean?"
"Only believers who are loyal to gods can receive gifts. Dad, you are not a believer in Junia, so Junia cannot give you gifts. However, if the gods themselves truly believe in other gods or humans, then the other party can have unlimited gifts.
Use your own strength."
Yunia hugged Ma Wei tightly: "I like daddy the most!"
"Using a mortal body to usurp the throne of God."
Fat Orange looked at Ma Wei who was struck by lightning, his eyes turned into vertical pupils like willow leaves:
