This is a woman with long black hair, wearing red clothes, and a complexion as pale as fine salt.
Cheng An recognized this person as Chen Hong, the neighbor's eldest daughter. She was about thirty years old, divorced with a child, and worked as an accountant in a nearby private company. She had a strong personality and lived an independent life.
But now, this independent, strong woman is lying on Cheng An's window like a gecko.
Her mouth was open like a panting dog, her tongue was pulled out, and the saliva was mixed with the unknown blood that soaked her skirt from her crotch, spread all the way to her chest, and flowed down from her forehead drop by drop.
It looks disgusting but also has a bit of evil allure.
The skin around her eyes cracked, revealing no holes, only milky white bloodshot eyeballs, staring intently at Cheng An in the window.
Cheng An also looked at her quietly.
The teeth were sharp and the mouth was big enough to swallow an entire football in one bite. He opened and closed his mouth slightly and stretched out his long and slender tongue to lick around the teeth.
"..."
The woman's ten ugly fingers tapping on the window in excitement suddenly stopped.
Even though she was completely alienated, the expression on her face still appeared dull for a moment.
The two looked at each other quietly through the window for more than five minutes.
During this period, Cheng An's eyes followed the woman's shoulders and looked around carefully.
He found that the woman's arms were stretched several meters like gummy candies, extending from both sides of the window sill to the bottom, creating the illusion of climbing from bottom to top.
Is this malicious intimidation? Or is it some kind of strange mutant behavioral instinct?
These weird arms are most likely her strongest means of attack... The green and dry skin, is it weak to fire? The nails are black and obviously contain poison...
There is an obvious curse coming in... Judging from the energy value, it should fluctuate around 50...
"This should be someone who died not long ago, and the body mutated after death."
Cheng Jingjing made a judgment quietly and had no intention of taking action.
It’s not that he looks down on people, no matter how young he is, 50 is still a piece of cake.
If it weren't for the weird archway with "Yangguan Road" written on it at the entrance of the village, as well as the weird incense burners and shrines placed door to door on the roadside, Cheng An wouldn't mind giving this first mutated female ghost a lesson in strange life.
But now, he just wants to be safe.
"It's best not to attract attention. That archway...and those shrines give me the feeling that they are not objects, they are alive!"
"Chen Honghui mutated into such a monster because he looked out the window and was contaminated by the unexplainable things in the dark?
"Who polluted her? The Yangguan Road archway or the incense burners and shrines on the ground?"
Cheng An's mind was racing and he remained expressionless. In front of the mutated monster of his female neighbor, he silently closed the curtains to block her lustful sight.
Stab!
Chen Hong:???
Her head just hit the glass gently.
Because the opaque curtains were closed inside, she couldn't see inside. She could only see her own pale white forehead through the reflection of the glass, with all the stubble on her bones exposed.
Her childless eyes visibly fluctuated.
With the little brain she had left, she felt like the poor woman who knelt on the ground and begged that scumbag not to abandon her many years ago!
"Scum...give me...go...die!"
Chen Hong's chapped lips opened and closed, and her teeth trembled up and down, making a sad whining sound.
Then, she forcefully opened the window that Cheng An had no time to lock, and with a sudden movement, she slid into the house like a flexible giant salamander.
As soon as she came in, the window behind her was closed again, and the curtains were drawn, and the room was dark, and she couldn't see her fingers.
Then, behind this monster, a pair of scarlet vertical eyes lit up!
"?"
The monster didn't know what regret was, but Chen Hong clearly had an idea at this moment, that is, she doubted whether she should have come in.
The next second, before she could make any reaction, the pair of scarlet and frightening vertical boys were already approaching fiercely.
The steaming teeth tore open the skin on her neck easily, biting the entire neck in one bite!
winter!
Her headless body suddenly fell to the ground, her head rolled away, and she stared angrily.
Two extremely long arms surrounded him from both sides, and their sharp nails pierced Cheng An's temples, like dead snakes.
puff!
Cheng An spit out the extremely meaty monster's neck, and with his powerful right hand, holding a short small saber, he cut open the lady's chest.
A black, agate-like, oblate spherical crystal was growing in her heart, beating quietly.
"Hey, there is a magic core!"
Cheng An's eyes lit up, and he stretched out his hand to remove the magic core without fear of stains.
Chen Hong's enchanting arms immediately fell from the air like a motor that had lost power.
Cheng An casually took the paper towel, wiped off the blood on it, and stuffed it into the iron box containing the biscuits.
Afterwards, he stayed close to the window and waited quietly for a few minutes. After confirming the two strange existences outside and not noticing what was happening here, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Last time in Wacun, the monsters that were mutated by the ghost, including the electric fan corpse, the director, and the monster in a state of insanity, all did not produce magic cores;
"It's the same pollution, but Chen Hong has a magic core. What's the difference? It can only be that the source of pollution is of a higher level, and the more likely it is to turn into a real monster and produce a magic core. This explains it!
"If each of the Yangguan Archway and the Weird Shrine is at least one level higher than that of the Wacun Ghost, I have absolutely no chance of winning and cannot be reckless...
"They don't seem to be actively targeting the villagers here? Some people have mutated because their curse aura is too powerful, similar to the pollution of nuclear radiation..."
Cheng An made a quick summary in his mind, then stood up and walked towards Cheng's father and Cheng's mother who were still asking him tirelessly, "Look out the window."
After such a brief experiment, Cheng An concluded that staying away from archways and roadside incense burners can ensure safety!
"The moonlight is so beautiful tonight, come out quickly..."
Cheng's father and Cheng's mother were knocking on the door. In the middle of speaking, Cheng An opened the door with a clang.
"Card!"
Seeing Cheng An suddenly opening the door, they were stunned for a moment, with stiff expressions and distorted facial features.
Then, they instinctively began to split the corners of their mouths into four parts, revealing the insect-like mouth inside, and gnawed at them.
With just one glance, Cheng An, an extraordinary person, knew that the couple was hopeless.
Their minds have been completely wiped out by the contamination of the curse.
Their true humanity has long since died, and now there are only two shells standing!
"I'm sorry. I was obviously planning to take care of you until you die, but now I can only send you on your way in person!"
“It’s only because the world is so difficult and unpredictable!”
Cheng An's eyes were cold, his mouth opened wide, and he bit their heads one by one.
This time, neither of them had any magic core left. After biting their heads, their bodies stopped moving and they died completely.
Cheng An arranged the bodies of the two elders aside and pulled the blanket over them: "I can't repay the kindness of raising this body. I will try my best to protect your only remaining daughter. You can go in peace!"
After a moment of silence, Cheng An looked around vigilantly to confirm that there were no other threats to his home.
Then adjust the coordinates with your mind, visualize yourself, and return to your human form.
"Dongdongdong!"
Cheng An knocked on his sister's door.
This time she locked in really well.
"Who are you?!" Cheng Yuyi's frightened and wary voice came from inside.
Cheng An was stunned for a moment, looked at the two old men whose bones were still cold, and said with some embarrassment: "It's me, Little Bear Underwear."
"..."
There was a crawling sound in the room, and then there was a bang, and the door opened. Cheng Yuyi stood there holding a folding chair that could barely be regarded as a weapon, and she was about to cry.
She looked at the blood stains on Cheng An's hands, and then at the familiar figure covered with a blanket behind him. The corners of her mouth tightened, and she cried immediately. She hugged Cheng An and buried her head in his arms.
"Brother~ they... they..." Cheng Yuyi sobbed.
Cheng An felt her body trembling and knew that this smart girl had guessed what happened.
He sighed slightly, patted Cheng Yuyi's thin shoulder, and said, "I'm sorry, my parents died to protect us. Let's get out of here first."
"Okay, bro."
Cheng Yuyi was very sensible and did not cry or make a fuss at such a time.
Suddenly, she thought of something and raised her head and said: "Brother, I just received a message. Someone is asking for help. He is not far from us, No. 37!"
“It’s hard to protect yourself, so take care of yourself first.”
Cheng An said without sympathy.
"Okay, okay."
Cheng Yuyi nodded and said, "The man said in the message that he was a transcendent person and could see through the nature of monsters. Alas..."
Suddenly, she noticed Cheng An looking at her.
"Brother?" Cheng Yuyi was stunned.
Cheng An cleared his throat and asked in a clear voice: "Where is No. 37?"
…
…
"It's over... I'm done... I will definitely die, and I will die miserably..."
"Damn it, damn it! I obviously have a chance to be admitted to the best university in Shanghai. I also have extraordinary abilities. I have a bright and broad future!"
"Why did I encounter such a terrible disaster...twice, twice in a row..."
"A strange evil god appeared out of nowhere!"
"There is also a natural disaster-type monster, the Yang Guan Dao! This is the legendary forbidden land over there. It is a monster that often wreaks havoc in human protected areas. When it appears, it is enough to swallow up a caravan of hundreds of people..."
"Why, why is this happening... Is it true that geniuses are always jealous of fate and are prone to die young?"
Li Xiaojie hid in the corner of his kitchen, shivering.
"The moonlight is so beautiful tonight!"
"Look out the window!"
In the living room, his parents were wandering around like zombies, constantly making calls without any emotion.
Li Xiaojie didn't dare to move or even take a breath.
Suddenly, he found that for a full minute, there was no shouting, and there seemed to be a knocking sound on the door.
"Are they out? Dad, mom..."
Li Xiaojie was both sad and secretly happy.
My parents are irreversible, their brains have been completely hollowed out by that weird evil god.
As long as I can leave alive...
Dad, Mom, I'm sorry for you... I'm too weak...
With some conflicting mood, he crawled out from under the table.
Suddenly, he felt something was wrong. A stream of cold air rushed from his buttocks to the top of his head, and his hair stood on end!
But Li Xiaojie persisted and turned his head to take a look.
So you are here?!
Two smiling heads, his father and mother, stood at the other end of the table, their necks stretched out strangely for more than one meter, leaning on the table, looking at him with a smile.
The corners of their mouths were split, and they smiled very stiffly and horribly, revealing two rows of white teeth.
