Painted Skin's face was ferocious: "You can't go!"
Jiang Tong frowned: "This is my business."
I came to see Painted Skin just to ask her if there was a better way for her to see her brother.
In fact, she didn't leave Dongyang and Taoyang too far these days. It seemed that there was always an invisible force pulling her, making her wander and unable to go further.
When she heard the news that her brother was seriously injured and dying, she suddenly realized that it was the concern that was pulling her.
She must go back to see her brother again.
These days she recalls more and more memories of her human life.
She remembered that someone wanted to take her away, and her brother protected her under his body. He was beaten until he vomited blood. The blood splashed on her face, and the warm feeling was the same as yesterday.
She also remembered that on the day she lost the food, she was greedy and wanted to know what the food tasted like, so she forced him to get it. To this day, she still doesn't know what food tastes like.
Zombies can only smell corruption and blood.
The brother in my memory was dirty and thin, like a wolf protecting its cubs, baring its fangs at everyone.
During the days she lived in Taoyang, she saw her brother as gentle, relaxed, stable, and well-fed.
Taking him away could certainly ensure his safety, but she couldn't give him a good life.
In that case, she should leave alone.
But before leaving, she wanted to see him one last time and say goodbye properly.
My brother doesn't like leaving without saying goodbye.
Painted Skin was completely unable to maintain her current appearance in her rage. Countless festering red spots appeared on her face. These red spots seemed to have vitality, wriggling on her face and neck one by one, covering her entire skin.
This is her true face.
She pinched Jiang Tong's chin and squeezed out a word from between her teeth:
"Listen carefully, this is definitely a trap! I don't know why I'm luring you there, but it must be beneficial to humans, not to us, or even harmful!"
Jiang Tong waved her hand away and said disgustedly, "Let go, I don't understand what you are saying."
Huapi threw her to the ground with a backhand, and the loud noise raised a cloud of dust.
"I don't mind if you go north, to the coast, or even across the ocean, but you absolutely cannot go to Taoyang! If they can imprison Bone Wing, they can also imprison you!"
Jiang Tong quickly stood up and swung the sword towards her face covered with festering red spots. The force was so great that the wind it created was like a cold knife, and every blow was deadly. If an ordinary psychic were to suffer this, he would be turned into ashes in seconds.
Huapi blocked the attack with both hands and was forced back several steps.
Her expression grew increasingly ferocious and terrifying. "I should have known you were a fool with ulterior motives, an incompletely evolved bastard!"
"I'm not a bastard."
Painted Skin sneered: "You are a flesh-eating zombie in body, but a human at heart. If you are not a hybrid, what are you? Ridiculous!"
Jiang Tong's expression changed unpredictably, and finally she just lowered her eyes:
"I'm human, I'm just sick."
Painted Skin was so angry that he almost laughed. He took two steps forward and grabbed Jiang Tong's neck, his tone full of disgust and murderous intent:
"The zombies transformed from young humans are truly useless. You, and so is that Bone Wing. We've evolved so perfectly that humans are like ants beneath our feet. A simple pinch of our fingertips can cause them excruciating pain. Each and every one of you has been imprisoned by humans, or deceived and bewitched by them. As one of your kind, I truly feel disgusted and ashamed."
Jiang Tong pried her hands apart and looked at her with his densely packed compound eyes:
"My brother never lied to me. I just went to see him for the last time. It wasn't a trap as you said. And during the days I was in Taoyang, they clearly noticed something was wrong with me, but they didn't do anything to me. So, there won't be any accidents. Please don't interfere with me."
Painted Skin said gloomily, "You've even revealed your compound eyes? You still want to kill me? You're not as strong as me, and you know that better than I do."
Jiang Tong said: "If I can't kill you, I can at least seriously injure you. Please get out of the way."
Painted Skin turned sideways, watched her back as she took two steps, squinted his eyes and said:
"I'm giving you one last chance. From now on, leave that damned human brother of yours behind and come back to me. I've already contacted the Siren, and another on the other side of the ocean. Including you, there are four of us, enough to break through Taoyang's shield and rescue Bone Wing. When the time comes, we'll join forces and everything in this world will be ours. We can establish a new order, a new kingdom."
"otherwise--"
Jiang Tong ignored him and walked away.
The murderous intent in Painted Skin's eyes grew stronger, and the red spots on his face began to wriggle and roar.
She rushed towards Jiang Tong.
Jiang Tong's back tightened and he dodged her fatal attack.
But red spots still appeared on my arms.
Once this red spot is planted, it will spread to the surrounding skin, penetrate deep into the subcutaneous tissue, corrode the flesh, blood, and bones, and finally only a clean and complete human skin will be left.
It is effective on humans as it is on their own kind, except that it will not be fatal. However, the pain and suffering of skin cancer will be doubled.
Jiang Tong covered his arm and suddenly looked at her: "Are you determined to fight me?"
Painted Skin giggled strangely:
"A fight? How naive! Rather than letting you benefit humanity, I'd rather kill you! I gave you a chance, but unfortunately you didn't seize it!"
A hurricane suddenly blew up from the sky, and Painted Skin took the lead in attacking, and the two fought fiercely.
The Painted Skin gradually gained the upper hand, and a hint of madness appeared on its festering and corrupt face:
"After I kill you, I'll kill your human brother. I'm sick of your fake brother-sister and mother-daughter love! If I truly loved you, how could I abandon you?! And how could you, with the money to treat me, watch me rot in bed, tortured beyond recognition by this damned red rash? All humans deserve to die! Damn it!"
"Just try to touch him!"
In an instant, tens of thousands of pupils split out densely in Jiang Tong's left eye, full of anger and madness, wanting to fight to the death.
She has no attachment to this broken world and gloomy life.
It’s better for her to die like this. Her brother probably doesn’t want to see this monster of her.
She was really fed up with the days of killing and eating flesh and blood, fed up with the constant displacement, and fed up with the endless loneliness.
When you die, you feel nothing and you can even be reborn.
She still wants to be a human in her next life.
She also wanted to taste the food.
This battle shocked the heaven and earth.
The bloody smoke could no longer be covered by the curtain of dark night.
