Chapter 60: Item 2: Molar Candy
The evil ghost's body began to rot and turned into a pool of black blood on the spot.
As if to deliberately make things difficult for them, before leaving, he smashed the glass jar containing the molar candies, and even the seal was completely ineffective.
The aftereffects followed, and the two people's mouths were filled with a bloody taste.
It was a remote place, and it was impossible to find a container to load the molar sugar again in a short time.
There was a sharp pain in Shen Li's arm, and the mission information changed again.
[Please complete this delivery task within the specified time]
The originally unlimited-time task suddenly became a limited-time task. The countdown was engraved on the skin of each deliveryman, changing every minute and every second.
The mission conditions became increasingly demanding.
"Only two hours left."
There was no time to find a new container.
"I have a plan."
As soon as Shen Li said this, Ye Minglang knew what he was going to do.
He was a little angry.
"I told you once, don't you remember? Shen Li, you are a human! Not a container!"
"Don't take yourself too seriously just because you have a powerful seal on your body."
"But there is no other way now."
Chen Li raised his head stubbornly, "The copy is not under your control. If the mission fails, a worse outcome will be waiting for us."
Being trapped in this world forever is a small matter, at least I can be alive.
But now this copy is completely in the hands of other people, and doing nothing is no different from waiting to die.
“In fact, I understood this truth a long time ago.”
"Some things are beyond our control."
Although he had forgotten many things, he had encountered such a scene, such a dilemma, and such a choice more than once.
There are molar candies all over the ground. If you touch them with your bare hands, the same thing will happen as before, and evil spirits will be summoned.
Fortunately, because of the heart, there is no need to remove the seal. The power that can be mobilized in the body now should be able to isolate the connection between the curse and the evil spirit.
Shen Li didn't hesitate any longer and grabbed a molar candy with his bare hands.
Once the candy hits the skin, it sinks completely into the flesh.
Shen Li controlled the curse on one arm and picked up all the molar candies.
He clenched his fists tightly, and after absorbing all the curses, he opened his hands with his palms facing up.
"Don't worry, I'm fine."
Ye Minglang looked at the palm of his hand and saw a cut on it.
The skin and flesh of the wound were turned outward, and all the molars were squeezed into the wound one by one, like a mouth full of teeth.
"Don't worry, I'm fine too."
The mouth in Shen Li's palm said.
Ye Minglang: “!!!”
Although he had been delivering parcels for three years and had seen many weird things, the mouth in Chen Li's palm was really weird.
Just looking at it is enough to give me chills, let alone the fact that it can actually speak?
"this……"
"It should be that the curse has materialized." Shen Li explained.
Shen Li was also surprised at the appearance of this mouth.
"So you are... Mr. Charlie?"
The mouth in the palm of his hand quickly corrected Shen Li: "To be precise, I am only a small part of Mr. Xia Li. I am his curse. The real Xia Li is dead."
The mouth spoke in a nonchalant tone, totally unlike Mr. Charlie's original character.
"Xia Li's soul has been detained by the evil spirit. Once the contract is completed, the evil spirit will be able to enjoy his soul to its heart's content."
Chen Li continued along with its words: "So what is the contract between Mr. Xia Li and the evil spirit?"
"Of course..." The mouth stopped speaking halfway.
"Give up on this idea. I can't tell you. Why are you dithering? Time is running out! Why don't you send the package as soon as possible?"
These molars seemed more anxious than they were.
"Wait a moment, notify the others first and meet up at the agreed place."
Ye Minglang took out the fireworks and lit them at the highest point of the hillside.
In the night sky, a huge firework suddenly bloomed.
When others saw the fireworks, they naturally knew that the molar candy had been found.
What everyone needs to do now is to rush to the address Ye Minglang mentioned before and meet up.
At the edge of the foggy forest, there is a charred ruin.
According to the Archbishop, that was the former Akao Street.
No. 24 Akao Street was originally a small hospital.
Because of a big fire that year, many people died inside and it was said to be very unpeaceful.
For this reason, the former archbishop set up a seal on the periphery of the ruins according to the method in the Necronomicon, and used the ruins to conceal the truth, and locked up all the products of failed summoning there.
Song Buyu, Yu Qianqian, the big guy and the blind man were the first to arrive.
Next came Du Ruo, the man with glasses, and Yu Luo.
There was a burning smell in the air.
Everyone just stood in front of the ruins and didn't dare to go in.
Du Ruo covered his mouth and nose uncomfortably. "It's been so many years since the fire, why does it smell like it was just put out?"
Not only was there this smell everywhere, but there was also a faint sign of smoke coming out of some corners of the dark ruins.
Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that something is wrong here.
"Is the dental clinic really inside? Are we really going in?"
The man with glasses was a little nervous. After all, he had no props with him now. If he encountered danger, he would be really dead if he died.
"Wait for others to come in together."
Song Buyu emphasized: "This delivery task has changed from a multi-person competition delivery to a cooperative delivery. I suggest that we put personal grudges aside, complete the task first, survive, and then resolve personal grudges."
He said this specifically to the man with glasses.
In order to prevent the man with glasses from causing trouble, Song Buyu was able to bend and stretch, and took the initiative to walk up to the man with glasses and shake hands with him to make peace.
The man with glasses gave him this face, and their hands separated as soon as they touched.
When Chen Li and Ye Minglang arrived, Du Ruo asked about the whereabouts of the molar candy with concern.
"Where's the stuff?"
"The item was found, but there was a small accident."
Shen Li spread out his palms in front of everyone.
The mouth on the palm said "hi" at the right time.
Du Ruo had never seen such a strange scene. She was frightened and turned pale. She shrank into Song Buyu's arms.
Shen Li quickly withdrew his hand and clenched it into a fist.
The mouth in the palm of his hand wanted to speak, but was held in Chen Li's hand, so it could only make "mmm" sounds.
"That's what happened. The curse has materialized. Molar Candy is now... residing in the palm of my hand."
Shen Li briefly mentioned the previous pursuit of Administrator 04.
"It should still be possible to deliver it. Time is running out. Let's get going."
"The hospital covers a large area, and the location of the dental clinic is still uncertain. We should follow the old method and go in to explore the map first. Once we find the location of the dental clinic, we can send a signal flare to indicate it."
Couriers can use their points to redeem flares, flashlights, canned food and other basic supplies in the mall.
Currently all signals are cut off and all people and companies are out of contact. These supplies were prepared in advance.
"Then let's divide into groups first."
After Yu Qianqian distributed the supplies, she proposed dividing them into groups.
"I've already said that I won't be in the same group with him!"
The man with glasses subconsciously moved away from Shen Li, "There's something wrong with the thing in his hand. No one knows if it will mutate after entering. I don't want to have a time bomb next to me."
The man with glasses also learns from his mistakes.
He had touched the molar candy once before and nearly died.
He saw it when Shen Li opened his palm just now, it was so disgusting.
Yu Qianqian was extremely angry, but considering the overall situation, she did not confront him.
"Then I'll be in a group with Shen Li."
Yu Luo knew the dangers of the cursed object, so of course he should stay as far away from it as possible.
"I'm in the same group with him."
Du Ruo said nothing. Holding the urn in his hand, he consciously stood in the group with the man with glasses. Then he stared at Song Buyu and motioned him to come over.
Song Buyu put his hands in his pockets in a nonchalant manner and stood next to Chen Li unsteadily.
Yu Qianqian glanced at him and said, "Aren't you in a group with your girlfriend?"
"What girlfriend?" Song Buyu smiled, "It was just a fleeting romance. When she was with me, she often asked me for information."
Du Ruo and Song Buyu are actually the same type of people. During the days they have been together, they know each other's thoughts very well.
Now that it’s been talked about, no one is pretending anymore.
"Then did you let her get the information?" Yu Qianqian asked.
"Are you still not confident in me? It's watertight!"
"So did you get any useful information from her?"
Song Buyu's face suddenly looked a little ugly.
"She's also very tight."
Both sides were hypocritical, and they could be considered equal opponents.
Currently, Shen Li has a clear advantage in the distribution of numbers.
So the blind man walked to Du Ruo's group without saying a word.
Although the hospital had been burned to ruins, its general framework was still there and it had not completely collapsed.
One group went to search the first floor, while the other group went directly to the second floor.
Chen Li and his group, a total of five people, were responsible for searching the second floor.
The hall on the second floor was covered with charred marks.
Ye Minglang touched the wall casually.
It's still warm.
The fire happened decades ago, how could the walls still be warm?
The hall was in ruins.
The corridor is in the middle. After going upstairs, there is a long corridor on each side.
In order to effectively shorten the search time, Yu Qianqian, Big Guy and Song Buyu decided to search the left corridor.
Chen Li and Ye Minglang headed to the right corridor.
The corridor on the second floor was in the shape of a U.S. character. Although they were separated temporarily, they would eventually meet each other as long as they kept searching along the corridor.
The left and right sides of the corridor are divided into different areas.
The doors of some rooms had been burned to charcoal and collapsed to the ground, while the doors of places not reached by the fire were still tightly closed.
There are appropriate signs on the walls outside each room.
The first room that Chen Li and Ye Minglang passed through was the radiography room.
Going further ahead, there are the radiography operation room and the radiology duty room.
The corridor is not long. After passing these three rooms, you reach the end of the U-shaped corridor.
After turning the corner, the rooms that appeared previously appeared again.
Radiography room, radiography operation room, radiology duty room...
Exactly the same!
