In the early morning, when the sun had just risen, Adil set out from home and walked outside.
It was still very early at this time, the morning light had just appeared, and there were not many pedestrians walking on the road.
"If I remember correctly, it should be in this direction."
As he walked up and down a small alley, looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar road in front of him, Adil thought to himself.
He left home early in the morning, not to go to school, but to have his own plan, to search for the world's resources and prepare to restore his strength.
After walking around all the way, he came to a remote alley.
The alley here is very remote, and there are very few shops inside. However, unlike other places, even in the early morning, there are still many pedestrians here, but it looks a little different.
Most of these pedestrians were wearing loose black clothes or long robes, and many of them had masks on their faces, as if they were on guard against something.
When they saw Adil coming from outside, some passers-by looked at him in surprise.
However, in their eyes, Adil's appearance completely changed, from the original appearance of a ten-year-old child to an adult wearing a mask.
After looking for a while and seeing nothing, they withdrew their gaze and continued walking forward, appearing very quiet.
Adier was not surprised by this situation.
This place, considered the old street of the city, is also a place where filth and evil practices hide.
Human traffickers, female prostitutes, drug dealers, killers...many things that ordinary people fear or are wary of can be found here more or less.
The reason why Adil was able to find this place was because of Coral.
As a veteran police officer who has been in the local area for decades, Coral is very familiar with various local places.
In the past, Coral had warned Sim more than once to stay away from this place as much as possible.
Gently raising his head and looking at the peaceful old street in front of him, Adil continued to walk forward with a calm expression.
Many things in this old street look very old. There are few street lights, and various houses and buildings look very old and messy.
There were many beggars lying on the ground around, but what was different from the beggars in other places was that most of the beggars here were disabled and had marks of being cut by swords on their bodies.
"Um?"
Following the road and reaching a certain corner, Adil stopped and looked in a certain direction.
In that corner, a man lay quietly. His clothes were messy, and his originally clean skin was covered with large pieces of rotten flesh, with red and white liquid flowing on it, and even worms crawling around.
And on that man's body, there was a large group of red insects similar to flies crawling on his body, sucking his flesh and blood.
This scene, if seen normally, would make one's scalp numb and unable to eat for the whole day.
"This feeling..."
Looking at the corpse in the distance, Adil was a little surprised.
Although he looked miserable, in his perception, the person in the distance was not actually dead, but now, he was not far away from death.
There is a strange aura entangled in the other party's body, with deep malice, which is constantly devouring the other party's vitality and making itself stronger.
It can be seen that this situation has been going on for a long time, and now, the aura has completely eroded the opponent's body, and only the last bit is left to completely engulf the opponent.
If there is no accident, in a few days, the other party will completely turn into a dead corpse, which will never be restored.
But now, there is still some chance.
He thought a lot and hesitated for a while, but in the end, Adil chose to step forward.
This can also be considered an opportunity.
Since the person in front of me has fallen into this situation, it is obvious that he has been exposed to something before.
Through this person, you may 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, it had a high pitch, which seemed very abrupt in this quiet street.
He was an old man, wearing a red long-sleeved coat. The skin on his body was very rough, like a layer of dry bark.
He stood in front of a row of shops, watched Adier's movements and said, "The things on this man's body are not something ordinary people can touch."
"Before you, there were three unlucky guys who tried to take advantage of this guy, and they all died in the last day."
Hearing these words, Adil was a little surprised and couldn't help but look back at the old man.
"An existence without any vitality?"
At first glance, Adil noticed something was wrong.
Vitality is something that every living being possesses. Like spiritual power, it is considered the most basic power possessed by living people.
If a person has no vitality at all, it means that the other person is dead and has lost the power to support the body's survival. The result will naturally be death.
But in this old man's case, the situation was completely different.
The vitality in the opponent's body has completely disappeared, and most of the functions of the entire body have even stopped.
However, there is another completely different force inside the opponent's body, which replaces the existence of vitality and supports the opponent's body to continue to move.
"A living dead that has a form similar to that of a ghoul, but maintains its own consciousness?"
Looking at the old man in front of him, Adil came to this conclusion.
But on the surface, he still smiled and politely thanked: "Thank you for reminding me."
After the words fell, he continued to walk forward, attracting the attention of many people.
From behind, watching Adier's movements, the old man's expression was dull, he just shook his head and turned to leave.
As soon as he took his steps, he stopped, attracted by the changes ahead.
In front, as Adier walked forward, red spots were flying all over the body on the corpse.
If you magnify your sight many times, you can clearly see the true identity of these spots, which are clearly tiny red insects.
These bugs look scary, with red wings and sharp fangs, and they are not easy to mess with at first sight.
However, after sensing Adil's arrival, these red bugs flew back one after another as if they had encountered some natural enemy, not daring to stay where they were.
"Are these life-eating insects afraid?"
Seeing this scene in front of him, the old man's eyes widened for a moment, and he felt a little incredible for a moment.
He knew nothing about things like life-eating insects.
It is a terrifying creature that was born from a curse. Although it usually looks harmless and looks like an ordinary fly, as long as one falls on you, thousands of them will breed in the blink of an eye, swallowing you whole.
.
Even for him, it is difficult to deal with such a terrifying thing. It is impossible to expel it as easily as Adir.
What surprised him even more was what came next.
Ahead, in front of the corpse, looking at the red bugs flying in the sky, Adil raised his head slightly, his pure black eyes were deep, and there seemed to be some kind of light spreading at this moment.
Then the next moment, in the horrified eyes of countless people, the group of red bugs were wailing and glowing. At this moment, they were all ignited, emitting bursts of low howling.
Each insect burned to the ground and turned into pure ashes.
Every time a bug falls completely, there will be a low wailing sound, with a terrifying malice, as if someone is whispering a curse in your ear, which is creepy.
However, even so, these things still burned and fell, making no waves in front of the person in front, and simply disappeared into ashes.
Watching this scene quietly, at this moment, countless people were horrified and took a breath of cold air.
"This is a real psychic..."
At this moment, seeing this scene, in a certain corner, there was a person who was ecstatic, looking at Adil's back as if he had discovered some rare treasure.
Feeling the gazes on him, Adil didn't care. He just half-crouched silently and took a closer look at the other person's condition.
After checking the other person's whole body, Adil was a little surprised.
Because the person who fell on the ground was just a woman, and depending on the situation, she was not very old.
Of course, even though she is said to be a woman, there is actually no difference at this point. All parts of her body are rotten, and it is just a pile of rotten flesh.
Using the meager magic power gathered during this period, Adil purified several wounds on the opponent's body, and then suppressed the deep malice on the opponent's body, and the operation came to an end.
This is also due to the limited conditions. Due to the existing conditions, many complicated methods cannot be used. We can only deal with it simply and barely save the opponent's life.
But just this move is enough to surprise many thoughtful people.
Among the people watching on the street, several people's eyes clearly lit up, feeling the final result.
After doing this, Adil stood up and looked at the person still lying on the ground, frowning for a moment.
The other party is too weak. Even if the strangeness in his body is suppressed by him, he is still very weak at this time. Without a period of cultivation, he may not be able to wake up at all.
Thinking of this, he sighed secretly, picked up the man directly under the gaze of everyone, and then walked out.
Behind him, everyone on the street stared blankly at Adil's actions, frowning at the man in Adil's arms, and for a moment they didn't dare to follow him.
However, a few people did not hesitate at all. After seeing Adil leaving, they quickly moved forward and followed Adil from a distance.
The old alley was surrounded by a long, complicated and empty street. Adil walked left and right, quickly throwing away most of the people following him.
"Come out." Arriving at a deserted area, holding the person in his arms, Adil turned around and looked in a certain direction behind him.
There, a breath was coming from there, hanging far behind at this time. Even though Adil had been around for so long, he still hadn't lost it.
"This gentleman..." A woman's voice came from a distance, making Adil suddenly feel familiar.
In that corner, a girl with delicate appearance and tall figure wearing a black trench coat walked over. The aura on her body made Adil feel very familiar.
Looking at this girl, Adil was a little surprised for a moment.
He does know this person, and in the past few days, he has seen him basically every day.
That was Delisa, a classmate of Adil's, and said to be the daughter of a certain big shot.
However, at this time, compared with her usual quiet and elegant image, Delisa's appearance changed somewhat. Not only did her face look cold, her aura was even colder, carrying some kind of unique power.
This situation is what surprises Adier.
When he came to this world, he thought about the extraordinary power of contacting this world all day long, but he didn't expect that there was one just around him.
