Chapter 261: Inhuman (69) (1st + 2nd) [VIP]

Qiu Yuxing couldn't listen to anything anymore.

He loosened his grip on Sister Zhuo's hand and fell to the ground.

His calves, hands, and shoulders were shaking. The moment he fell to the ground, he used his hands and feet to crawl towards the child.

"Let's go! Let's go quickly!" The voice was so sharp that the other teammates in the fog couldn't help but frown.

"Sister Zhuo..." someone whispered, "Did he get upset? Why don't we knock him out first?"

Compared to their normal teammate Zhu Haochen next to them, Qiu Yuxing seemed to look even more abnormal. Several teammates behind Sister Zhuo even had a hint of fear on their faces.

"You guys should run too! Run!" Qiu Yuxing shouted while crawling on the ground, "Stay away from him! Zhu Haochen is dead! He died a long time ago..."

With a "pa" sound, Sister Zhuo chopped Qiu Yuxing's neck with a knife. With this knife, he finally lay quietly on the ground.

"Huh..." Someone let out a sigh of relief.

The tranquility just now returned to the fog.

Qiu Yuxing was lying on the ground covered in mud and blood. The fear from a few seconds ago was frozen on his face. In the second before he was knocked unconscious, the tears in his eyes burst out uncontrollably, making the wound at the corner of his eye turn slightly white.

"Is it possible that Qiu Yuxing was traumatized by the last incident and is now feeling traumatized?" someone whispered.

"I guess he is just alone and is blinding himself." Someone quickly responded.

"Brother Zhu, what did he mean when he said you were dead?" someone asked in a low voice with lingering fear.

"How should I know?" Zhu Haochen said in a bad tone, "Who wouldn't know if someone said they were dead for no reason?"

The atmosphere was a bit awkward for a moment.

"Okay," Sister Zhuo said, "Someone come and drag him away. Let's get out of the fog first."

"Little friend," she looked up at the child not far away, "Can you tell us what happened just now?"

The child stood there, his expression even calmer than that of the other team members. He took a few steps forward and spoke clearly, "Just now I was walking in the fog with this brother. The brothers and sisters suddenly said that there was a teammate of the brother ahead, so the brother went to find his teammate. Then the two teammates started fighting, and the brother was very scared, so he hugged me and ran away."

"This kid didn't even see Zhu Haochen's face?" Xiao Tang lowered his voice.

The fog was so thick that only a vague figure could be seen from a distance.

Everything this kid said was true, but each sentence was missing some key information. Did he really not recognize Zhu Haochen or did he intentionally conceal this information?

"Let's continue to look down..." Yuan Shanming frowned and looked at the crowd.

"Two teammates fought?" The team members behind Sister Zhuo looked at each other, two of them came out and took the initiative to lift Qiu Yuxing up from the ground, while the rest of the people nervously surrounded the child.

"Little friend, did you see what kind of teammates were fighting again?"

"I didn't see a face, sister," the child answered.

"Then..." The girl who asked the question thought for a moment, "Did you see a brother or a sister?"

"Two older brothers." the child replied.

"Two men?" Several teammates looked at each other and someone whispered, "Could it be Xiao Gu and Yang Zi? These two don't have a good relationship to begin with, so it's normal for them to fight in the fog."

"Didn't they fight in the ghost story last time... Xiao Qiu went to break up the fight and got punched, which made Dai Ge so angry that he held down the two of them and apologized."

"What did Xiao Gu and Yang Zi wear last night?"

"They all seemed to be black jackets..." someone recalled.

"Little boy," the girl who asked the question squatted down and looked the child in the eye, "Are you seeing two brothers wearing black coats? One of them is very tall and has long hair. The other brother has half of his ear missing."

"I didn't see clearly, sister," the child shook his head, rubbed his eyes, and yawned, "Sister, can we get out quickly? I'm a little sleepy. My brother said that if children don't sleep well, they won't grow tall."

His words were a little slurred and his eyes closed several times involuntarily. It seemed that he was really sleepy.

Children always fall asleep very quickly, and once all their energy is used up, they fall into sleep mode without any explanation. The team members around them obviously have never taken care of children before, and none of them have much experience. When they see that the children are sleepy, they are a little at a loss.

"Don't sleep!" The girl who asked the question didn't know what to do with her hands and feet. "We have to go out! We can only sleep after we go out!"

"Zhuo...Sister Zhuo! What should I do?" She looked at Sister Zhuo nervously.

"Don't ask for now. This fog is too strange. Let's go out first. As for this kid..." Sister Zhuo said, "Let's take him out first. We can't just leave him in the fog. Isn't he the child of a gang leader? How did he get into this fog? We have to ask him tomorrow morning."

Everyone nodded, agreeing to Sister Zhuo's arrangement.

The child looked drowsy, and a male teammate wearing glasses picked the child up. The remaining teammates carried the unconscious Qiu Yuxing, and Sister Zhuo led the way in front.

They probably had reached the edge of the fog. This time, without waiting for the child to point the way, the crowd followed Sister Zhuo's lead and walked out of the fog.

After the faint mist disappeared, the surroundings were immersed in darkness again.

Only a thin slit of light came from the house next door, dimly illuminating a small open space in front of the door.

"Where is this?" Someone looked around nervously.

It was their first day in the City of Violence and they were not familiar with the place at all, not to mention that this was Purple Street, a place that most citizens of the City of Violence were not familiar with.

"It seems that we haven't left Purple Street yet..." Sister Zhuo looked around, "We should still be inside Purple Street..."

These buildings still look very old, and are not at all as modern as the buildings outside the City of Violence.

"Ask the child if he knows the way?" someone asked.

"He fell asleep," the bespectacled man holding the child was a little embarrassed. "Just now while we were walking, he mumbled, 'Brother, I'm really sleepy,' and then there was no sound. I thought he was tired, but when I looked at him just now, I found that he had fallen asleep without knowing when."

"Should I wake him up? This might not be good..." He was a little unsure.

"...Forget it, let the child sleep first. Children are like this," Sister Zhuo said helplessly. "Fortunately, I was prepared. The yard we live in is about 35 degrees south west. I brought a compass with me. We just need to walk back slowly."

After getting out of the fog, everyone's faces were somewhat relieved. The two team members who were dragging Qiu Yuxing laughed and scolded him, saying that this kid looked well-proportioned, but turned out to be so heavy when lifted up.

The man holding the child quickly said, "Shh... keep your voices down. The child is asleep. Don't wake him up. After all, he is the child of a gang leader..."

Although the City of Violence did not prevent the appearance of the fog as Dai Quan had hoped, they were still staying in someone else's yard, eating and living at someone else's expense, so they should always be polite to someone else's children.

Suddenly, several distant gunshots were heard on the street in the distance. Everyone was startled and the noise suddenly became much quieter.

"Come to think of it..." someone asked curiously, "Aren't all the gang members men? Where is the mother of this child?"

"Why do you mind so much!" his teammate said rudely, "He's in the house and hasn't come out yet!"

"The city of violence is so chaotic, and this is still Purple Street, and they are still gangs..." Someone whispered, "Maybe they are dead..."

"Then who is his dad? The one with the tattoo?"

"No, this kid doesn't look that fierce. His father is another tall and thin guy, right? I feel like this kid's eyes and nose look like him..."

"Really? Let me take a look? It doesn't look like it... Is the child's mother really dead? Could it be that... she got pregnant before marriage, gave birth to the child and ran away or something..."

"Don't you have anything to do late at night? Are you making up stories about their parents behind their backs?" Sister Zhuo stopped and raised her voice to scold them rudely, "The child is still here and you're already guessing? If you're curious, why not go ask them in person tomorrow? That's better than guessing behind their backs, right?!"

Everyone looked a little embarrassed.

Sister Zhuo seemed to be the second most important person in the team after the team leader Dai Quan. Everyone was scolded by her but did not dare to talk back. They could only shut their mouths in dismay, and their expressions looked unnatural.

Everyone walked forward a few steps in silence. At this moment, the girl walking at the end suddenly spoke in a low voice: "Do you... feel like there are footsteps getting closer!"

"Footsteps?" The crowd was a little confused.

The triggerers nearby also stopped.

"It's bad," Dita reacted immediately, "They might have walked directly to the edge of Purple Street! Sister Zhuo's voice was too loud just now, it will attract the city guards!"

"Don't the City Guards say they won't enter Purple Street?" The yellow-haired guy was a little nervous.

"Not necessarily." Dita looked around and took a few steps forward to confirm. "This is the edge of Purple Street. There are no gangs in this area. Those who live here are individual residents and are not under the control of gangs. The city guards sometimes deal with the undead and ghosts here as well."

This is troublesome.

These newcomers in the fantasy world were obviously unaware of the existence of city guards at night in the city of violence.

Dai Quan hurriedly brought them in here, and before he had time to tell them the things they needed to pay attention to and the taboos when living in the city of violence, the leading sister Zhuo even used her mobile phone as a flashlight in her hand, and had no idea why the nights here had to remain absolutely dark.

"Something's going to happen..." Dita whispered.

"Sister Tazi, have you seen the city guard?" Xiao Tang asked curiously.

"No," Dita answered decisively, "In the City of Violence, everyone who has seen the City Guard is dead. Those who can survive from the night of the City of Violence until dawn have never seen the real City Guard."

"Then today..." Bai Jinshu paused, "You might see it."

They're all going to see it.

Dita was stunned.

"Xiao Ruan, did you hear footsteps?" The people in the illusion had no idea of ​​what they were about to encounter. Sister Zhuo stopped and asked curiously, "Are you sure?"

The girl named Xiao Ruan seemed to have exceptionally good hearing. She pricked up her ears for a long time and nodded firmly: "I'm sure, and the footsteps are getting closer."

"It seems..." She paused, "It's coming for us!"

She doesn't need to say more.

The sound has been getting louder and louder, and now, even the ordinary team members here can hear it.

Very messy and very fast footsteps.

It seemed as if a group of people were approaching them.

The footsteps sounded malicious.

"Hide quickly!" Sister Zhuo reacted very quickly. The moment she turned off the light of her cell phone, she flipped over to the house next door.

The houses here are all bungalows, and some of them have small courtyards. She must have practiced this before. She climbed onto the roof by pushing off the wall in a few steps and quickly tucked her entire body behind the eaves.

"Give me the child!" she whispered from above, "Throw it up!"

I don't know when the child woke up. He was very sensible and didn't say a word. He lay quietly in the man's arms.

The man with glasses threw the child up and climbed over the wall, rolling and crawling.

Several newcomers on the street were also panicked.

A child can be thrown onto the roof, but can Qiu Yu do it?

What should we do with such a big living person?

“Xiao Qiu! Xiao Qiu!” A teammate who was dragging him shouted a few times, and finally gave up, “Put him in the corner! Go, go!”

At this point, the safety of teammates is indeed not as important as one's own safety.

Several people who were carrying Qiu Yuxing hid him in the corner and climbed up the wall one after another.

The streets were empty in an instant, leaving only the nervous breathing of the newlyweds on the roof.

"Breathe calmly." Sister Zhuo whispered.

The breathing quieted down a bit.

At the same time, as the surroundings became quieter, the sound of footsteps approaching in the distance became more and more obvious.

Dita's breathing became noticeably heavier.

"In the City of Violence...for so many years," she leaned against the wall, her voice a little unsteady, "no one has ever seen what the City Guard looks like."

Compared to those illusory legends in other areas, the real legend in the City of Violence is undoubtedly the City Guard.

It exists, without a doubt, and appears every night in the capital of violence; people know it is there, but no one has ever actually seen it.

In other words, everyone who has seen it is dead.

What exactly is the City Guard?

Everyone looked at each other. Although their reactions were not as big as Dita's, their eyes were filled with curiosity and inquiry.

The footsteps of the city guards in the distance were getting closer and closer, and finally, a figure appeared at the end of the street.

It was a perfectly normal figure.

Looks like any other citizen of a violent city.

It doesn't have three heads and six arms, no strange twisted organs, and no ghost-like appearance.

Just a normal person.

Through the door of the house that was not completely light-proof, everyone could even see the outline of the person's facial features reflected in the light as he passed by.

He was a man with a square face.

A normal man with human facial features and face, completely indistinguishable from a human being.

Dita was stunned.

"People?" She subconsciously ran forward a few steps, "It's people?"

Of course no one from the City Guard could answer her question.

More and more members of the city guard appeared. They ran past Dita naturally and brushed past him. Dita was stunned in the crowd for several seconds before he found his voice: "Is this the city guard?"

Are these the guards that have been killing people on sight in the City of Violence for so long?

"There's nothing special about this." Xiao Tang crossed his arms and said nonchalantly, "I thought these people were too ugly to be seen in public."

"I thought so too..." Huangmao said sincerely.

"Is this the city guard?" Yuan Shanming looked at them curiously. "Aren't they just people?"

Bai Jinshu also touched his chin and said, "These city guards look no different from normal people."

It’s better to say that they are just normal people.

He is not a ghost, a dead spirit, or some legendary creature with three heads and six arms. He is just a normal person.

They even speak Chinese and can communicate with each other.

“This shouldn’t be the case…” Dita stood in the crowd, looking confused, “This shouldn’t be the case…”

She thought of countless possibilities, but she never expected that the city guards were actually a group of people who were no different from normal people.

The city guards who swarmed in saw Qiu Yuxing placed in the corner. They didn't know how they judged who was friendly and who was not. With a few shouts -

"no"

“Can’t tell?”

"Then do it."

Qiu Yuxing, who fainted in the corner, was dealt with by them.

As expected, the City Guard did not enter Purple Street. After dealing with Qiu Yuxing, they checked around and did not find any other members on the roof, so they retreated in a mighty manner.

The entire process was well-trained and there were no unnecessary movements.

It was long after the city guards had left that the newlyweds on the roof came down tremblingly.

There was only a corpse left where Qiu Yuxing had been lying. Someone plucked up the courage to check his breathing, and the low voice was filled with a cry of fear: "Dead."

Qiu Yuxing's body was stiff and the skin on his face was cold, no longer having the body temperature of a living person.

A teammate died right in front of them. The group was speechless for a moment and returned to the courtyard in a daze.

The triggerers behind them also went back with them.

Except for Dita who was a little bit incredulous, there were not many emotions on the faces of other people. Xiaotang kept muttering, "That's it? That's it?" Hearing this, Yuan Shanming couldn't help but patted her shoulder and asked her to calm down.

In the small courtyard, as everyone in the fog left, everyone in the courtyard also woke up.

No city guard would enter the depths of Purple Street. Lao Guan pulled Dai Quan by the collar and said angrily, "I'm asking you, where's the child?"

"Where's the kid?"

The tall and thin man did not try to smooth things over. He stood in the yard with a coat on, looking very unhappy and puffing on a cigarette in his mouth.

There were cigarette butts all over the floor at his feet.

“Brother!” At the gate, the child in the arms of the man with glasses jumped down hastily and ran towards the man, “Brother! I’m fine!”

The tall and thin man suddenly looked up, dropped the cigarette in his hand, and rushed over.

“Are you hurt anywhere? Didn’t you say not to go out tonight? You didn’t listen to me, did you? Who told you to go out?” His tone became more and more fierce, and his hands moved rapidly. He pinched the child’s chin and checked the skin around his neck. He turned his hand over, rolled up his sleeves to check his arm, and when he found a purple mark on the child’s wrist, his face darkened, as if he wanted to kill someone, “Who did it!”

"This is..." The child hesitated, "The brother who took me out."

"Who?" The tall and thin man stared at the group of people who had just entered the room with a sharp look in his eyes. "Point them to me."

"Brother," the child gently grasped his hand, "that brother is dead."

The tall and thin man paused.

"What's going on?" He took a deep breath and subconsciously tried to take out a cigarette from his side, but found that he had already finished the cigarette. He had to bite his lower lip angrily, picked up the child and walked to Dai Quan.

"Dai Quan, explain it to me clearly today," he said in a serious tone, "The child is right here, what on earth did you encounter?"

"Xiao Zhuo..." Dai Quan had a circle of marks on his neck, which seemed to be caused by Lao Guan, whose arms were covered with green dragons, holding his collar. His expression was also very serious. "What happened?"

Sister Zhuo was stunned for a few seconds, and looked at the teammates and thugs in the yard, as well as the two gang leaders who had obviously gone crazy after discovering the child was missing. She organized her words and said, "I'm not sure how this kid showed up. He was taken away by Qiu Yuxing, but Qiu Yuxing is dead now."

"According to our experience, the fog will only dissipate when all the awakened people in the fog leave. Before that, all the natives in the fog will fall into a deep sleep. Xiaoqiu took the child away in order to make the fog dissipate," she thought for a moment and then said, "So... we also want to know why this child... is awake?"

As she spoke further, her tone became a little cautious.

Apparently, because Qiu Yuxing took the child out, a big conflict broke out between the two big brothers in the gang and their leader.

She didn't know if it was right for her to ask back at this time, but Qiu Yuxing was dead, and why he left the yard with the child, who was the teammate he met in the fog, and why he thought Zhu Haochen was dead, all became unsolved mysteries.

Why the child appeared in the fog also became a question.

The two gang leaders looked at each other, and the tall and thin man suddenly said to the child: "Go to your room and sleep first."

"Okay." The child saw that they were really angry, and agreed very obediently.

After sending the child into the room, Lao Guan, with his arms covered with green dragons, raised his eyes to Dai Quan and asked, "What's going on?"

Dai Quan glanced in the direction of the child and took a deep breath: "Why don't we talk about this tomorrow morning..."

"Right now," the tall and thin man said firmly, "This child is related to you. Now, make it clear."

Dai Quan took a deep breath.

“The child is not Aboriginal,” he said.

"Three years ago, I led a team," Dai Quan said slowly. "There was a female team member in her twenties. She was a pregnant woman. She died of complications during childbirth. But because she had a strong desire to survive, she got the opportunity to join an investment bank and became a new member of my team."

"The child is hers." He let out a long breath and looked up at everyone.

This time, not only the people in the yard were stunned, but even the triggerers nearby who had various speculations about the child at the beginning also stayed where they were.

"This is a bug that has been circulating in investment banks for a long time! His team member encountered a bug!" Yuan Shanming, who was knowledgeable, shouted out immediately.

"The investment bank will only give one person a chance to live again! But that team member has two people!"

This time, everyone was really stunned.

The author has something to say:

In the last chapter, someone actually guessed part of the child's true identity. I was shocked.

Has anyone already connected to the sugary brain circuit to this extent? Damn, I can't fool you!
