Cheng An was shocked, never expecting to see her body here.
Because of the incident with the Freemasonry at the beginning, his evaluation and expectations for this woman were quite high.
Unexpectedly, she died here so simply and casually.
Things in the world are unpredictable, everyone is equal, and everyone has only one life.
The only difference was that there was no black and white gelatinous substance on Yan Xiaoxi's tongue that looked like mold.
"Could it be that the source of death, the original form of the monster, is this mold?"
"Strange, why did Yan Xiaoxi die in Director Xu's office? What happened here?"
"Where are Judy and those two bodyguards?"
Cheng An had some speculations and doubts in his mind.
Then, he first stretched out his finger and poked the female corpse's delicate pink face, and found that this idiom was a lie and could not be broken at all.
The body did not fall apart like Director Xu.
Then, Cheng An put on rubber gloves with great vigilance, stretched out two fingers, and caught the tongue of the female corpse.
He planned to rip off the tongue and take it back to study. Maybe the breakthrough lies here.
Yan Xiaoxi's tongue was like a warm slug, soft to the touch and full of elasticity. It seemed that she had died not long ago.
As Cheng An exerted force, the tongue was stretched to the extreme, almost like a piece of gummy candy.
Then, instead of being torn off, it bounced back with a 'wave' sound and hit Yan Xiaoxi's face.
"Ahem! Ahem!"
After a while, this 'corpse' suddenly came to life.
She seemed to have suddenly lost all her strength, lying on the ground, desperately clasping her throat with her fingers, and kept retching and coughing until tears came out of her eyes.
Finally, she said "yue" and vomited out a puddle of yellow water.
A white worm as long as a little finger fell out of her mouth, rolled on the ground, squeaked and shrieked, and shriveled up and died within a few seconds.
Cheng An frowned and took half a step back.
It seems that Yan Xiaoxi is indeed extraordinary, but what magic core did she use to get promoted? This ability looks a bit weird and disgusting... This little bug is exactly the same as a maggot...
Wait, she was in the same state as the dead Director Xu just now...
Cheng An remembered that he had seen someone on the forum mention that there was an 'intermediary' type of demon species that could invisibly invade people's bodies, control their behavior, and make the same actions as it.
Humans whose bodies have been invaded by this insect often engage in extremely bloody acts of self-mutilation, such as drying out their own internal organs with their hands, gouging out their eyes, tongues, nose bones, and swallowing boiling oil and red-hot iron.
etc.
"Did you swallow a tarsal maggot?" Cheng An touched his chin and asked in surprise.
"Grung of the Bone!ju! Do you know how to read?"
Yan Xiaoxi gritted her teeth, her face turned pale, and she raised her hand angrily: "Do me a favor, help me up."
"oh."
Cheng An went over and gave her a hand, helping her stay away from the disgusting turbidity on the ground.
"Aren't you afraid of me?" Yan Xiaoxi asked.
"It's pointless if you act stupid like this. How can I still get here alive if I'm afraid of this?"
"makes sense."
The girl relaxed herself and leaned against him softly and weakly. It was only because of Cheng An's hug that she would not fall. Her body was like a ball of soft cotton, which made people think.
Cheng An had no expression on his face, waiting quietly for her to run out of breath, trying to adjust her breathing.
It can be seen that using the power of the curse seems to have put a great burden on her, and the fake death just now was almost like the real thing.
Cheng An suspected that if he had arrived a few steps later, she might really be dead.
"I remember that Necrosis of the Bone is a very low-level demon species with a very short lifespan.
"The power of its curse also has great side effects. It can injure the enemy a thousand times, damage itself eight hundred, and often lead to death within a few days.
"Over there, there is no magic potion formula that uses it as the main ingredient."
Cheng An recalled some information he knew. Halfway through, he lowered his head and met Yan Xiaoxi's eyes looking up with her delicate eyebrows furrowed.
That expression seemed to say, "If you can speak, just speak more."
"Um..." Cheng An's tone was stagnant, but he persisted and said: "The walking being contaminated and mutated by this bug will probably not die well. Why do you have to use this magic core?"
In fact, he just expressed his surprise and didn't expect the other party to answer.
After a while, Cheng An seemed to hear her whispering softly in the darkness:
"Not everyone has the right to choose."
Such a slap in the face was different from her cold and ruthless behavior. It seemed that there was something unspeakable... Cheng An didn't ask any more questions and waited for her to recover.
After a while, Yan Xiaoxi said: "You can let me go."
"good."
Cheng An released his big hands that tightly hugged her shoulders and waist, pointed at the patches on the ground, Director Xu, "Can you explain what's going on?"
Yan Xiaoxi held the table with her hands, her face looked much better, and after sorting out her words, she said clearly:
"There is something weird in this village, and I discovered its existence, so I wanted to find out something about it from Director Xu, but I didn't expect that he had already been controlled by that thing. When he saw what I was seeing, he wanted to harm me;
"In desperation, I could only control him. As you can see, I almost died myself."
As expected, Yan Xiaoxi's tone also contained some dissatisfaction with her own lack of ability.
Cheng An knocked on the door and said, "What kind of monster is that thing you are talking about?"
Yan Xiaoxi said: "I can't tell the difference either, but people who are possessed by it and have their spirits polluted will have a characteristic."
Cheng An interrupted: "There are black and white gelatinous bacteria growing on the tongue coating?"
"You discovered it too? That's right." Yan Xiaoxi nodded.
Cheng An solemnly said: "I heard that it is difficult for the Five Insects to achieve such a powerful pollution ability, and it can only be done by the Five Immortals."
"possible."
In this regard, even though Yan Xiaoxi has been on the forum for a few more years than Cheng An, and has a few more years of 'dream knowledge', her knowledge is almost the same as Cheng An's.
Information about the other side in this world can basically be found in the Masonic forums.
Moreover, there is very little awareness.
For example, there was a person named "Blika in the Pan" before, who was just a sweeper for a certain force in Kowloon over there. Some of the information he compiled on the basic classification of demons can be regarded as "precious information about Freemasonry".
It is conceivable that everyone is unfamiliar and unfamiliar with those demon species over there.
"Where are your best friend and the two security guards?" Cheng An asked in passing.
"They got separated. Maybe they are still being chased by the monster, or maybe..." Yan Xiaoxi bit her lip.
"Probably dead."
Cheng An said coldly, "There is a girl who has black and white mold growing on her tongue. She is completely lost. If you go by what you said, she should also be mentally controlled by that thing. We have to go back to the hall quickly!"
"good."
Yan Xiaoxi also knew that it was unrealistic to seek out her best friend at this time. This unknown five-immortal monster was very powerful and full of malice towards outsiders like them, so splitting up was the only way to die.
The two set off together and arrived at the stairs on the first floor. The monster in the kitchen was still banging on the door relentlessly. The iron door had been shaken a little by it and could not last long.
Cheng An stopped, thought for a while and said: "There is a small hidden danger that needs to be eradicated. Go and untie the lock on it, and leave after counting six seconds."
"Okay." Yan Xiaoxi didn't say much. She stepped forward, pulled the lock open a few times, and then counted the time silently in her mind.
"1,2,3..."
While counting, he watched in surprise as Cheng An changed his posture.
He twisted his neck, as if releasing a hungry monster. The entire head was exaggeratedly deformed, and the crocodile's huge mouth was exposed, with sharp teeth and bloodshot threads hanging from it.
"He has the curse ability of Alien Limb Technique...Huh? I seem to have heard of this..." Yan Xiaoxi was secretly surprised.
A faint bloody red light climbed up from Cheng An's abdomen, passed through his neck, and converged on his mouth.
"1"
Cheng An raised a finger, and Yan Xiaoxi pushed hard and pushed the iron door open.
In the kitchen, the monster that was made up of seven crazy humans saw that the door that it had been trying to open for a long time was opened. When it heard the voice of someone talking at the door, it screamed several times and ran out excitedly.
"Hahaha!"
"New family!"
"Come on, come together!"
"Join me...uh"
Their ferocious and greedy expressions suddenly stopped.
There was no one outside the door, only a monster with a huge mouth like a crocodile.
There was a ball of golden, bright fire, spinning, expanding, and compressing deep in the monster's mouth!
"?"
The seven heads showed doubtful and frightened expressions at the same time.
Time seemed to stand still for a second.
Then, the golden flame spurted out like a torrent when the gate was opened, covering all the space within three meters in front, completely submerging its huge and bloated body.
"boom!"
"Ahhh!"
The screams stopped abruptly.
The flames stopped, the iron door burned red and deformed, and the monster and the floor beneath him were burned into black coals.
With just one blow, this terrifying-looking monster died without leaving any residue.
Of course, there was no magic core, because although it had mutated, it had no curse power and was not a serious 'mutant'.
Cheng An's head returned to human form, he rubbed his chin and said, "Okay, let's go."
But he saw Yan Xiaoxi looking at him with a strange expression: "..."
Cheng An was stunned and looked at the other person with a frown: "..."
No one spoke.
After a while, Yan Xiaoxi stuck out her tongue, licked her lips that had been too close and were dry, and said, "Are you, that, kobold?"
"...Can't you tell the difference between a crocodile and a dog? Do you recognize animals?" Cheng An counterattacked.
"Admitted, so you are a member of the chief's new organization, Five Elements Heaven?" Yan Xiaoxi said.
"Yes, and then, senior sister, if you keep talking nonsense, we can go back and collect the bodies of our classmates." Cheng An rolled his eyes, turned around and left.
"Sorry." Yan Xiaoxi knew that she had just lost her composure, so she hurriedly apologized and quickly caught up.
I was cautious all the way and returned to the hall safely.
Cheng An gave a wink, and Yan Xiaoxi understood. He moved to the left and right, guarding the rear.
Then, Cheng An slowly opened the door.
The hall was dark and deserted. It was unknown where Zhang Shusheng and others had gone.
Lightning flashed across, and a girl's body could be seen hanging on the ceiling fan, rotating with the fan blades.
Her facial features melted, and her nose, mouth and eyes turned into deep, bloody holes.
Her mouth opened wide, without the black and white moldy tongue inside, and she stared from a distance.
