Chapter 73 Puppet Head (2)
Teacher Yang was sent to the so-called infirmary for examination, and his final outcome was naturally not good. The disabled would be regarded as defective products and sent to the laboratory.
Before leaving, he stared at Wu You with vicious eyes, "You ruined my experiment, and you won't have a good ending."
Wu You looked at his vicious eyes and took several steps back. He was still a child after all, and the adult world was even more vicious than he had imagined. Fortunately, Qu Yanbai was behind him, which made him confident and no longer afraid of him.
Qu Yanbai planned to stay in the school at night. He knew Hu Zimo, a narrow-minded man, and he would definitely attack Wu You.
Just in case, he called Qin Muxue again. He knew that as long as Qin Muxue was willing to come, Shi Yan would follow. As expected, it turned out to be the case. However, he did not expect Ding Manman to come as well.
Qu Yanbai sighed and said, "Manman, why are you here? It's very dangerous here."
"You can come over, but why can't I? And I want to come and see these children, too." The children gathered around Ding Manman, "Someone has to take care of these children."
When Qu Yanbai saw Manman at this moment, he felt a corner of his heart soften. Looking at her playing with the child, he stared at her intently, with a rare smile on his face.
Qin Muxue waved her hand in front of him, "You are staring at Manman, do you have any intention?"
"What intentions could I have?" After realizing something was wrong, he immediately turned his head away, pretending to scratch his head, "It's just fun to watch them play games."
Qin Muxue didn't object to Ding Manman dating, but in her previous life, she was abandoned by that scumbag in Lei Yangzhou, which led to her miserable end. After that guy recovered, he had supernatural powers and could have helped Manman, but he abandoned her under the instigation of another woman. If not for that, Manman would not have died to save her...
Fortunately, Manman knew nothing about her previous life, which was actually a good thing for her.
Lei Yangzhou is very powerful now. No one knows what means he used to become the chief here, but Qin Muxue still looks down on this man from the bottom of her heart. No matter how he makes up for it, the damage in the last life has been done. She will never forget Manman hiding in her arms and crying and asking: "I will never be as good as Yangzhou's white moonlight. I am just a substitute."
Now they are just borrowing his power and staying in the shelter, and she will stay by Manman's side to prevent that guy Lei Yangzhou from getting close to him.
As for Qu Yanbai, since they formed this doomsday team, at least he has not done anything excessive, and has been silently guarding Manman.
Qin Muxue brought a few stoves. She was craving for barbecue. She hadn't eaten barbecue for a long time, and the gluttony in her stomach was already stirring.
The food in the shelter is just enough to maintain basic hunger and hunger. There is really no high-quality food.
An idea suddenly occurred to her. "Why don't we set up a luxurious barbecue buffet here? Shi Yan, they are all taking care of the children, why don't you help me cut the fruit and prepare the meat."
Shi Yan nodded silently. These were just a piece of cake for him.
Two full baskets of fruits were brought out by her from the space, including apples, bananas, oranges, and even dragon fruit and watermelon.
Shi Yan cut the fruit as if it were a magic trick. He threw out an apple and waved the fruit knife in the air a few times. The skin of the apples completely disappeared, leaving only pieces of intact flesh.
Several children were very interested in this and stood by him, watching him cut the fruit. Every time he finished cutting a piece of fruit, the children cheered, "Wow, brother is so good."
Qin Muxue joked, "I didn't realize you were so popular with kids before. It seems like whoever is with you in the future will be blessed. You can cook, have a good personality, are handsome, and are popular with kids."
When Shi Yan heard her words, he slowed down his hands, "I won't find a girlfriend." He said softly.
Qin Muxue was busy arranging the dishes and didn't hear what he was saying.
These children haven't eaten such fresh fruits for a long time. In the shelter, even canned fruits are a luxury, let alone such a fruit feast and barbecue dinner.
Seeing the children gathered around Shi Yan, Ding Manman came to help Qin Muxue put the barbecue on the table. The space here was quite large, and several tables put together became a big table. Qin Muxue put the barbecue plate on the table, making it so full that even she couldn't help swallowing when she saw it.
Qin Muxue looked at Shi Yan who was standing aside. He had a rather gloomy personality, but now that he was surrounded by children, it was rare for him to be patient.
While Shi Yan was cutting fruit, he felt someone looking at him. When he turned around, he saw Qin Muxue smiling at him. He immediately turned his head back and his ears began to feel hot.
Qu Yanbai was still a little surprised, "Shi Yan, what's wrong with you? Is it too hot here? I still feel a little cold. Why is your neck red?"
"No, no, I'm just too tired from work."
This was the first time he said the word "tired". "Aren't you made of iron? How can you still feel tired?"
He put down the fruit knife in his hand and said, "Since you are so free, I will leave this job to you."
Qu Yanbai had no choice but to take the fruit knife, "It's just cutting fruit, isn't it simple?" Then he lowered his head and saw the fruits on the table, cut in various shapes, some in the shape of flowers, some in the shape of animals. The children were still looking forward to seeing what shapes he could cut. It was a pity that he was just a rough guy and could only cut it into petals.
At this time, Yan's knife skills were so good that even if there was no natural disaster, it would be good for him to be a chef. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart. If these natural disasters really hadn't happened, where would they be? Probably there would be no chance for them to meet, right?
Qu Yanbai shook his head, stopped thinking about it, and started cutting the fruit seriously.
A pretty little girl blinked her eyes, "Uncle, I want a pig-shaped apple."
"A piglet shape." Qu Yanbai wanted to cut one out suddenly, but found that his hands were completely out of control and the one he cut out looked like a monster.
"Uh, kid, you just have to hold it." The little girl looked at the weird little pig sadly and started crying out of grievance.
"What uncle cut doesn't look like a piglet at all, it looks like a monster, woooo!"
Qu Yanbai was suddenly at a loss. Even though he was a tough guy, he couldn't deal with a little girl of six or seven years old.
Shi Yan reluctantly took the apple and cut it into the shape of a pig. "Don't cry, it's healed now."
"Thank you, thank you big brother!" The little girl finally stopped crying and happily held the pig-shaped apple and started to eat it.
Qin Muxue has been grilling New Orleans chicken wings seriously. Chicken wings are difficult to cook, and these children like them very much. Some of them have begun to drool when looking at the chicken wings. "Sister, these must look delicious."
"That's for sure. My sister's cooking skills are top-notch."
Because it was for children, she didn't add any seasonings, but just put the grilled wings on a clean plate. One child couldn't wait to pick up a chicken wing, but accidentally burned his hand.
Ding Manman immediately checked his fingers, fortunately there was nothing wrong with them, "Don't worry, everyone has a share, wait until it cools down before eating."
The children gathered around the table and ate the grilled wings happily. Qin Muxue looked at the remaining chicken wings on the baking tray and couldn't wait to take a piece and put it in her mouth. After a while, the whole bone was spit out. Ding Manman looked at her familiar moves and said, "Xiaoxue, you still like to eat chicken wings like this."
"It's so convenient that I don't have to use my hands!" Qin Muxue smiled embarrassedly when she was discovered, and started grilling the steak again.
This steak was a high-quality steak she had bought earlier. It was fat and lean. It made a pleasant sizzling sound when put on the grill pan. The children always ate it well-done. After cutting it, she shared it with the group of children.
She grilled it to medium rare for the group of them, which was just the right texture when eaten, and then added some black pepper sauce to make a perfect steak.
Shi Yan saw her grilling meat while secretly eating, so he took over the grill and said, "Let me do it, you sit over there and eat with the kids."
Qin Muxue's mouth was still bulging with a piece of meat, "Mmmmm." After swallowing it with difficulty, she nodded, "Wow, Shi Yan, you are so handsome and kind, I really like you so much."
Shi Yan turned his head away in panic. He knew she was joking, but he couldn't control the throbbing in his heart.
Qin Muxue sat together with the other children without any sense of disobedience and excitedly ate fruits and steaks.
After Shi Yan finished grilling the steak, he also grilled some pork belly with alternating fat and lean parts, added dipping sauce, and wrapped it with lettuce. Qin Muxue ate the whole plate of pork belly in one go. "It's so delicious. I haven't enjoyed barbecue so much in a long time."
The kids next to her couldn't help but sigh, "Big Eater Sister, you can still eat so much!"
“That’s amazing!”
"It's a blessing to be able to eat. Children, please eat quickly. The barbecue will not taste good if it gets cold."
Qu Yanbai also took Manman's seat, "Manman, you go eat too, leave this to me and Shi Yan."
In the end, Qin Muxue ate more by herself than all of them combined. "I'm finally full this time." Touching her bulging belly, she looked at the two big men contentedly as they cleaned up the rest.
When I looked at the time, it was just past 8 o'clock. That Hu Zimo would definitely not come early.
Qin Muxue was eating watermelon while thinking, "Qu Yanbai, do you remember that when we were in the supermarket before, we were attacked by a puppet superpower. Don't you think this guy's superpower is suspicious?"
Qu Yanbai also thought of this, and he called Qin Muxue aside. Originally, he didn't want to talk about the bad things in his previous life, but now that he encountered such a thing, he could only tell all the reasons. "So, if you say that Hu Zimo did it, I also think it is possible. Otherwise, how could we be attacked for no reason?"
"It turns out that the last time I was almost attacked by that puppet, the puppet's ultimate target was you." At that time, she was quite grateful to Qu Yanbai for saving her. Now that she thinks about it, it was because of him that she suffered the disaster.
"Wasn't I the one who took the knife in the end?" Qu Yanbai said unhappily.
"That's true. That guy wants you dead at every turn. If you don't get rid of him, he will definitely be a threat to you."
"Don't worry, based on my understanding of him, he will definitely target Wu You first, and I will be the next after Wu You." He narrowed his eyes slightly, and a hint of darkness appeared in his eyes.
After eating and cleaning up, Manman took the children to the dormitory to rest, while Wu You stayed in the room with Qu Yanbai and the others.
Shi Yan was standing guard at the door as usual. Qin Muxue yawned. "You said that weird guy would not show up at night."
"He won't show up, and his puppet will."
It was late at night and Qu Yanbai turned off all the lights in the room. It was quiet here, with no other sound except the ticking of the clock.
Wu You's heart was beating wildly and he was very nervous. On the other hand, Qin Muxue beside him actually fell asleep on the table. It seemed that she was confident of winning, otherwise why would she be so calm.
At this moment, there seemed to be an object outside the door banging against the door "dong dong dong". Several people immediately became alert, and Shi Yan's eyes revealed a bloodthirsty light.
Qu Yanbai reacted immediately, "It must be a puppet."
Seeing that the door could not be opened, the puppet head chose another method and hit the window. The head could sense that her target was in the room.
The moment the window was smashed, Qu Yanbai used plant vines to wrap around the head in front of him. When they realized that the head was actually the killed queen ant, the hair on their backs stood up.
"Are you sure this isn't a horror movie?" Although Qin Muxue loves watching horror movies, it doesn't mean she isn't afraid of such weird scenes.
The woman's face was pale, and her neck was chopped off by Qin Muxue and Shi Yan themselves. There was nothing under the neat knife edge, and there was a big hole on the top of her head to take the crystal core. Wu You was so scared that he immediately hid behind Qu Yanbai.
"Don't you think this is very similar to black magic?"
"Don't scare me."
"This Hu Zimo is really disgusting. He actually kept this human head and made it into a puppet. It's so creepy."
While saying this, Qin Muxue still used her special powers to use water to push the human head away from them, while Qu Yanbai used vines to control the puppet's movements.
But the human head suddenly spat out a mouthful of black water, and all the plants were corroded.
"Oh no! The refined puppet will have the abilities of its original owner. It seems that the black water vomited by the queen ant is corrosive."
The puppet's only target was Wu You. She turned her head, and her eyes without black spots stared straight at Wu You's position. Wu You didn't dare to look directly at her, so he could only close his eyes and try hard to use his explosive power to blow her away.
But the head kept moving, and he couldn't find the target at all. At the critical moment, when the head was only half a meter away from him, he was scared and his mind went blank.
Shi Yan quickly came to the human head and spit black water at him. A transparent air barrier immediately appeared in front of Shi Yan, and the corrosive water could not attack them at all.
Before everyone could react, Shi Yan's knife had already fallen, and the puppet's head was split in half and rolled to the ground.
Wu was still worried and frightened. "I don't know why I couldn't use my supernatural powers just now."
"It's normal. People can't concentrate when faced with great fear. Just practice more and it will be fine." Shi Yan explained.
Qin Muxue looked at the queen ant's head on the ground and said, "This woman was treated as an ant queen when she was alive, and was made into a puppet after her death. Alas, now she has become like this again." It's really sad.
"Also, Shi Yan, you actually have such ability, why didn't you tell us before?"
Shi Yan simply explained calmly: "I just discovered this, so I didn't have time to tell you."
"Hu Zimo is really not a good guy. What he did is so disgusting. We have to find a way to get rid of him." Not only is he seeking revenge for his past life, but now he has endangered himself and the people around him.
After spending the night peacefully, Qin Muxue comforted Wu You, "The puppet is dead now and won't hurt you anymore."
Wu You's face was pale. "Well, thank you Sister Qin for your comfort. I'm fine. I will continue to train hard." Wu You gritted his teeth. Although he has superpowers now, these powers are indeed not strong enough.
"What should I do with this head?" Qin Muxue was in a dilemma. She didn't want to stuff the head into her space.
Qu Yanbai sighed, "Leave it to me!" He hung the queen ant's head on Hu Zimo's door, knocked on the door, and hid aside to watch his reaction.
Hu Zimo originally thought that his puppet was successful, but he didn't expect to see a human head cut in half when he opened the door. The eyes were staring at him, which made him feel terrified.
"He absolutely cannot have this ability. It must be Qu Yanbai. That guy has been ruining my plans!" He clenched his fists and was determined to find a way to get rid of Qu Yanbai. He made up his mind secretly.
But looking at the head hanging at the door, he felt uncomfortable again. Qu Yanbai knew how to disgust him. Hu Zimo felt itchy all over his body.
…
After dealing with the puppet, Qin Muxue checked on Manman and the children and found that Manman had fallen asleep with several little girls snuggling beside her.
She also lay down on the empty bed next to her and entered her own space. There were already a lot of crystal cores in the storage area, as well as the queen ant's pink crystal core. Qin Muxue planned to absorb the spiritual power of this pink crystal core. Shi Yan said that this crystal core was equivalent to one hundred transparent crystal cores.
Her abilities haven't improved at all recently, so she doesn't know if she'll see any improvement after absorbing it.
Qin Muxue concentrated her attention and began to absorb the mental power in the pink crystal core. As the mental power gradually flowed into her body, she felt her whole body begin to heat up, and she could hear some tiny sounds around her clearly.
And then my head started to ache violently, as if it was about to swell.
Qin Muxue gradually lost consciousness. When she woke up again, she found Ding Manman looking at her with a worried look on her face. "Xiaoxue, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
The children also gathered around her, "Is Big Eater Sister sick?"
Qin Muxue raised herself up with difficulty. She felt pain in her limbs, but her head hurt the most. Everything in front of her became clearer. "I'm fine."
Shi Yan had been guarding the door of their dormitory. As soon as Qin Muxue came out, he greeted her with concern, "Xiaoxue, are you okay?"
"I'm fine. I absorbed the spiritual power in that pink crystal core last night, and now I feel very tired all over."
Shi Yan breathed a sigh of relief. "It's okay. It's normal for this to happen because your body is carrying too much mental power. You will recover in a few days. Now why not try to see if there are any changes in your abilities? I feel like your mental power has become even stronger."
As soon as Qin Muxue heard about the change in her supernatural powers, she began to try to control the water in the basin. Who knew that the water would actually turn into ice cubes, and the ice cubes would take on whatever shape she wanted in her mind.
Shi Yan reminded her, "Try to see if you can use your mental power to form ice cubes without using water as a carrier."
In her previous supernatural powers, she had to have something of the same substance as a carrier around her, but now she didn’t need a carrier. She could make water appear out of thin air and even freeze water into ice.
She imagined the shape of ice cones in her mind, and several ice cones actually appeared in front of her eyes. With a glance, these ice cones pierced into the wooden door one after another. The attack power was many times stronger than she had ever seen before.
"I succeeded, Shi Yan, thanks to your help!" Excitedly, she hugged Shi Yan.
Shi Yan's body froze for a moment. "You're welcome. After all... after all, we are all friends." He stuttered and his mind went blank.
Qin Muxue looked at her hands. "I feel that the mental power in my brain is more abundant. Has my ability evolved?"
Shi Yan nodded, "You should be at level two now. If you want to upgrade to level three, you'll probably need more crystal cores."
In other words, she will need to obtain more secondary crystal cores in the future. "Now her ability is enough to protect herself and her friends."
Feeling that Shi Yan was very nervous and a little stiff, she wondered if she had scared Shi Yan. "I'm sorry, I hugged you in the heat of the moment. You don't mind, do you?"
She was just excited at the moment and did this.
"It's okay." Shi Yan tried his best to remain calm. "I'll leave for a while and be back soon."
He washed his face with ice water, and the heat in his body subsided a little. It would be great if Xiaoxue really fell in love with him one day. He stretched out his bony hands, but now he didn't have the ability to stay by her side for the rest of his life. If Xiaoxue knew his past, she might hate himself, a man with blood on his hands.
