Luo Shizhen was a truly honest person. He studied and lived very earnestly, but unfortunately, he was not very smart. After repeating his final year of high school for two years, his grades still w...
Chapter 50 Chapter 50 Chapter 50 (Second update)...
Luo Shizhen still held Lu Qiujin's hand tightly.
"Lu Qiujin, hold on, I will purify you."
He tried to absorb the black energy from Lu Qiujin's body, but it was still the same as before. For some reason, he couldn't purify it at all.
Hua Yi called up the test and shook his head at the team members who were ready to take action at any time.
"The progress has exceeded 50 percent. It can no longer be interrupted by serious injury."
This is a typical manifestation of internal alienation.
Because they are alienated from within, the alienation process will be faster than that of the awakened people who are alienated from the outside, making it difficult for people to interrupt it.
Internal alienation has another characteristic.
——Cannot be purified.
This has nothing to do with the level of the Purifier; it is simply because the alienated Awakener himself has tended to accept the outcome of his own alienation.
"Shi Zhen, how is it? Can it be purified?" Wen Hu looked at Lu Qiujin warily from the side.
Luo Shizhen shook his head: "No, I'll try again."
Wen Hu looked at Lu Qiujin, whose half body had quickly transformed into a strange appearance, and gritted his teeth and said:
"If you can't purify his words, we have to back off."
However, Luo Shizhen did not let go of Lu Qiujin's hand.
He pursed his lips and said, "Wen Hu, help me turn on the pollution detection."
Wen Hu hesitated for a moment, looked at Lu Qiujin whose eyes were completely covered by black pupils, and turned on the pollution detection on his combat uniform.
Luo Shizhen stared at Lu Qiujin without blinking and asked, "What's the value now?"
"78%."
Wen Hu frowned tightly. During the alienation process, if it exceeded 30%, it would be very dangerous. If it exceeded 50%, it would basically be in an irreversible state.
Seventy-eight percent of those alienated to this extent have almost no chance of being rescued.
Luo Shizhen was still trying to absorb the black energy from Lu Qiujin's body. When his hands failed to absorb it, he changed his position and touched Lu Qiujin's face.
A human appearance could still be vaguely seen on Lu Qiujin's face, but there was also a heart growing on top, squeezing his eyes.
However, his eyes were now full of black, and it was impossible to distinguish between the whites of his eyes and the pupils. Even if he was not squeezed by the alienation, he would not be able to see anything.
These growing hearts felt just like real ones, and were beating slightly. Luo Shizhen didn't care at all. He just pressed on them and gritted his teeth, trying to suck something out.
But nothing came out.
It's very strange. Although purification was not particularly simple before, it was not difficult either.
But why can't Lu Qiujin do it?
Lu Qiujin had a blank expression on her face. As Luo Shizhen stroked her face, she tilted her head slightly, as if looking at the person in front of her with her empty eyes that had lost the vision of the naked eye.
This person was touching him.
He seems to be an important person.
What was his name?
Stone?
Shi Zhen?
However, in just a few seconds, most of Lu Qiujin's memory had disappeared rapidly.
The hatred for my family that was once hidden deep in my heart is still there, and it is growing rapidly.
It seemed like there was a voice roaring angrily, expressing hatred, resentment, and unwillingness.
To take revenge—
Killed that family—
To survive——
The voice was saying, run away, leave here, you will only die if you stay.
But the feeling of this hand falling on his face and gently caressing him was so good. There was clearly a voice deep in his heart urging him to leave quickly, but his body did not move.
Maybe it was because the other person's movements were too gentle, he couldn't sense a trace of malice from him, only pure worry.
What is he worried about? Is he worried about me?
Who am I? And who am I to him?
Can't change...but what can't be changed? Why can't he remember?
He couldn't remember, which made him even more anxious. His relatively calm face suddenly became ferocious.
He felt that he shouldn't have forgotten it, but he still forgot it.
Wen Hu said nervously, "83%."
“87%.”
"90%"
Wen Hu put down his hand dejectedly.
According to current records, the highest record of awakened people who were forcibly rescued during the process of alienation is only 88%.
Lu Qiujin has already reached 90%.
Hua Yi looked at the rapidly rising environmental pollution level as Lu Qiujin became alienated, and slowly drew his sword.
He walked over step by step in his cold military boots.
He swung the knife, and the blade was aimed at Lu Qiujin's neck from behind.
Perhaps, it can no longer be called a neck, but is occupied by densely packed bulging beating hearts. Amidst the wisps of black mist, one can seem to hear whispers filled with hatred.
Hua Yi was a little surprised.
Lu Qiujin had obviously lost his human sanity. At this time, he should only have a little bit of residual instinct left.
The weird side had already gained the upper hand. Logically, he should either run away or attack.
But Lu Qiujin never moved.
He just stood there motionless, allowing Luo Shizhen to touch his face, which could not be called a "face" at all.
"Teacher Hua, don't kill him yet!"
Luo Shizhen put both hands on Lu Qiujin's face and kept touching her unwillingly. Because of Hua Yi's actions, his gaze had to be temporarily shifted to him.
"Lu Qiujin hasn't completely transformed yet. I'm a purifier, maybe I can purify him!"
This Devourer, who had been a little arrogant since his appearance, couldn't help but show a hint of pity in his eyes when he looked at Luo Shizhen.
"Didn't you hear? His transformation progress has reached 90%."
"If it was below 70%, I would let you try, but now, your classmates have no chance."
Luo Shizhen was a little flustered, but he quickly suppressed his panic. While continuing to touch Lu Qiujin's body with his hands, he said to Hua Yi:
"He hasn't completely alienated yet. He still has a chance."
"Teacher Chen said that I am very talented and smart. I have already been able to purify three classmates, and I will definitely be able to purify Lu Qiujin as well!"
Luo Shizhen's words became a little stuttering: "If, if I can't purify him in the end, I will kill him with my own hands! Really!"
Hua Yi looked at Luo Shizhen as if he was looking at his former self.
Of course, he was also naive at one point, and once hoped that his teammates could be saved after they became alienated.
But it was precisely because of his experience that he realized how naive Luo Shizhen's ideas were.
"You can't save him."
Hua Yi suppressed the trace of pity in his eyes.
"The first rule of the Guardians is that once an Awakened Awakener is confirmed to have transformed, on-site personnel must immediately take measures to kill the out-of-control Awakened Awakener on the spot to prevent irreparable damage."
He aimed the knife in his hand at the back of Lu Qiujin's neck and slammed it down.
A puppet stretched out its arms to block the way.
With a clang, the puppet's arm was cut off, but the blade failed to land on Lu Qiujin.
Cheng Yunshao's face turned pale. As he manipulated the puppet with his fingertips, it stretched out its other intact right arm and stood in front of Lu Qiujin and Hua Yi.
He looked at Hua Yi. The backlash caused by the damage to the puppet made his lips pale, but there was no fear on his face.
"Guardian Rule 99 stipulates that during the Awakener's alienation process, if there are Energy Users on site, the process should first defer to the Energy User's judgment."
"Luo Shi is truly an energy user with the ability to purify. Now that he's determined it's time to try to rescue them, we should let him give it a try."
After Cheng Yunshao finished speaking, Wen Hu also transformed into a tiger and suddenly jumped next to the puppet, blocking Lu Qiujin as well. He swung his tail towards Hua Yifu's upper body and took a standard defensive posture.
Isn't it just about protecting your love rival?
It's not his first time, he is very experienced.
A wall of fire blocked Wen Hu and the puppet.
Qin Yinian spread his hands and said, "Teacher Hua, Lu Qiujin is our classmate after all. If he is really dying, then so be it, but isn't there still a 10% chance? Our Shi Tou is really amazing, maybe he can really be saved."
A new creature stood strangely in the same place, its "eyes" unable to see anything, but it seemed as if another pair, or perhaps hundreds of pairs of eyes had appeared.
The freshman looked at this scene strangely and realized that they were fighting against a powerful opponent for him.
Why?
He wanted to ask, but his mouth was no longer open.
Hua Yi looked at this group of young and energetic guys.
He didn't laugh at it because he was like that when he was young.
At that time, there were other older awakened people who stood against him.
At that time, Hua Yi felt extremely angry and hated those cold-blooded elderly guardians.
Young people always feel that they can change all tragedies with their own will.
But only when you experience it yourself, you will know that it is useless.
Not to mention that Lu Qiujin was internally alienated and could not be purified at all, just the current 90% was enough to make him lose hope of survival.
Delaying it now would only make Lu Qiujin feel more pain, or even make him lose his sanity completely and turn to killing his former teammates.
Luo Shizhen, who is closest to Lu Qiujin, will be the first target of the weird Lu Qiujin.
This scene will become his nightmare, day and night, with no escape.
Hua Yi found it ironic that he once hated those cold-blooded elders so much.
After many twists and turns, he himself became a member of the "cold-blooded" group.
The elder guardian loosened his grip on the knife.
With a dull thud, the knife fell to the ground.
At the same time, in his hand, a new long sword was formed by invisible Qi.
"Believe me, I'm doing this for your own good."
He whispered what the old guardian had said to him:
"You will understand later."
Hua Yi swung his sword, cutting off the wall of fire and the puppet. At the same time, another teammate extended his mechanical arm, tied up the giant tiger and threw it away.
The silk threads on Luo Shizhen's body suddenly became colorful, as if they had become a big hand made of silk threads, holding a long sword made of Qi.
——With a loud bang, a stone blocking the cave entrance flew out.
Sui An stepped in.
Hua Yi frowned: "What do you mean?"
Sui An: "Didn't Cheng Yunshao say that? Based on the judgment of the energy user, my students judge that we can still try to rescue them. Let's wait a little longer."
Hua Yi almost sneered.
Sui An waits for the awakened ones in the process of alienation to continue rescuing?
Everyone knows that as a prosecutor, his subordinates have killed countless awakened people in the process of alienation.
"When you killed Yan Zi, you didn't say you would wait."
Sui An said slowly: "When Zheng Yan transformed, there was no energy user around him, and he had completely lost his mind."
"When I killed him, he was already attacking you. If I didn't kill him, either you would die or you would kill him yourself."
Hua Yi knew this, so he wanted to take action on behalf of these students:
"90%. Do you really think you can save one of your students who has reached 90% progress?"
"If you don't act now, you'll either be killed or the one who kills your teammate will be this student you're pervertedly monitoring."
Sui An: "No, if Lu Qiujin shows signs of attacking, I will kill him first."
He looked at Hua Yi and said, "Two ninth-level masters guarding here can certainly give the students a chance to make mistakes."
Hua Yi stopped talking.
Lu Qiujin is at the second level, but judging from his current posture, he might be able to reach the eighth level after alienation.
Although he had no problem fighting against the eighth-level weirdness, Hua Yi had no confidence that he could stop Lu Qiujin immediately if she quickly attacked Luo Shizhen in front of him after the transformation.
Although he has strong tactics, his ability is devouring after all, which only makes him suitable for continuous attacking, not for protecting others.
But Sui An can.
But what's the point?
No one has ever been able to stop the 90% alienation progress.
I believe that if this student named Lu Qiujin was still sober, she would not be willing to expose her ugly side in front of her classmates.
But Sui An was willing to take the blame, and Hua Yi was too lazy to be the bad guy. The long sword in his hand turned into Qi and dispersed back into his body, and he leaned against the wall.
Qin Yinian and others, who had been tense, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
They looked at Lu Qiujin with complicated expressions. The relationship between them could not be said to be good, but only very bad.
But... no one wants Lu Qiujin to really become weird.
Maybe it's because they themselves were destined to be alienated sooner or later, or maybe it's because along the way they've developed a small amount of team camaraderie, about the size of an ant's toenail (if ants have toenails).
Luo Shizhen had already touched Lu Qiujin all over her body.
To be precise, he could only touch the heart now, because Lu Qiujin's whole body was full of hearts.
Heart, all heart.
A beating heart, a heart filled with heat, a heart polluted with resentment.
It feels like arriving in the Kingdom of Monks in Journey to the West.
No matter how hard Luo Shizhen tried, he couldn't penetrate these heavy hearts.
Wen Hu turned into human form again.
"94%."
However, Luo Shizhen suddenly had a vague thought in his heart.
Where is Lu Qiujin's original heart?
He wanted to find it, but there were too many hearts, crowded together, densely packed and stacked up.
Luo Shizhen did not hesitate. He took out the dagger hanging on his waist and cut open Lu Qiujin's chest with force.
For him, there is no psychological burden in doing so.
It takes strength to plow the land, it takes strength to mop the land, it takes strength to kill a pig, so of course it also takes strength to open Lu Qiujin's chest.
Hua Yi: “?”
Wasn't it supposed to be a cleansing? How did it become a murder?
Blood splattered everywhere, and Luo Shizhen's face was splashed with blood. He wiped his face and looked inside carefully.
The strange new Lu Qiujin felt attacked. He wanted to fight back, but for some reason, he couldn't feel any anger towards the person in front of him.
Weirdly, Lu Qiujin vaguely knew that this person wanted to help him.
What is help?
What is a human being?
who is he?
The strange Lu Qiujin fell into deep thought and completely gave up the idea of counterattack.
He stood there blankly, allowing Luo Shizhen to open his chest.
Luo Shizhen successfully saw the beating heart in the chest.
Compared to other hearts, it can even be called small, because it is a human heart.
Luo Shizhen was on top and finally felt the familiar hunger.
"No wonder I couldn't find it before. It turns out it's hidden in your heart..."
His hands were covered in blood, his face was covered in blood, and he was looking at a chest that he had cut open with his own hands, as happy as a murderer who had just killed a hundred people.
Luo Shizhen carefully stretched out his hand towards the heart, and a soft white light appeared on his palm.
The black fog hesitated for a moment, as if unwilling to come out.
Luo Shizhen frowned. At this moment, he suddenly thought of the giant python he had encountered before.
When a giant python attacks people, it seems like... ?
The white soft light in his hand suddenly turned into a giant python and swallowed the dodging black fog fiercely!
The black fog wanted to escape, but for some reason, as if it was frightened, it stood there motionless, and could only allow itself to be devoured by the white python.
Only Luo Shizhen saw this scene.
Wen Hu only noticed the changes in the numerical values. He opened his eyes wide and wished he could get into Lu Qiujin's open chest to take a look.
"This is? Done? 92%! Purifying?"
Luo Shizhen said seriously: "It should be."
With this wisp of black mist at the beginning, the other polluted Qi bodies seemed to be drained away and were sucked into Luo Shizhen's palm without hesitation.
Bitter taste, like bitter melon.
Luo Shizhen smacked his lips and didn't seem to be a picky eater.
Wen Hu looked at the numbers with shaking hands.
"It's down, down, now it's 91%."
“86%!”
“75%!”
Hua Yi was no longer as calm as before, and looked at the scene in shock and doubt.
More than 90% of the awakened people have been alienated.
He was actually rescued by this student?!
