Chapter 74
Then, the group of people encountered scorpions, black and white spotted fish with spikes all over their bodies, spiders, and some strange monkeys with human heads and pig faces...
Some people couldn't help vomiting, perhaps because of the intense exercise, perhaps because of strong disgust, or perhaps because they couldn't bear it anymore and didn't know when and where to go next.
After a while, the ground was covered with the corpses of the dead. The remaining people finally couldn't run anymore and could only sit on the ground, gasping for breath and resting. They thought they would be killed by something chasing them, so they closed their eyes and prepared to die. However, after waiting for a long time, they found that there was no monster chasing them at all.
They were all stunned, then they opened their eyes and found that they seemed to be safe, and they burst into laughter. Some people cried, laughed, and knelt down and pounded the wall.
Paradise appeared in the shadows in the distance. Looking at them, someone spotted him and shouted, "Who are you? Who are you? What are you doing standing there?"
Le Yuan subconsciously wanted to hide, but the people over there immediately rushed over. Le Yuan stood still and replied, "I was here before you, but not too long before you, so no one has seen me."
The crowd rushed to him, carefully looked at his face and figure, then looked at his clothes and shoes. The crowd looked at each other, and someone raised his hand and said slowly: "He is not lying, I saw it, I saw him jump down before, and I saw him after I jumped down, and then he disappeared, I don't know where he went, it is said that he turned around here many times."
The crowd slowly backed away, thinking that this man couldn't cause any trouble and there was nothing to worry about. They nodded and prepared to disperse and continue to rest. If they hadn't felt there was danger here, they wouldn't have bothered to get up from the ground. They were now sore all over and didn't want to move at all. Even breathing felt uncomfortable. It was already very good that they could hold on until now.
They sat on the ground in a mess, gasping for breath.
The park slipped out of their sight.
Suddenly a pregnant woman fell from a great height and hit the ground with a bang. A pool of blood appeared on the ground. The smell of blood irritated everyone's head and nose. The people next to the pregnant woman shivered, became much more sober, and stepped back. Some people wanted to go forward to check. Suddenly a ball of fire ignited on the ground. The pregnant woman was not dead yet. She screamed in the flames. She got up and wanted to run away, but failed.
The crowd went from being nervous to gasping for air, to feeling lifeless, and then to doing nothing. They just sat by and watched the flames like fireworks.
The flames went out and the pregnant woman crawled out. She was not dead yet, but she looked different from before. It gave people a very strange feeling, as if she had suddenly become a different person, or as if someone had plastic surgery and everything on her body had changed and even her temperament had changed.
It's a strange feeling that I can't tell whether it's the same person.
Some people sensed the danger and turned around to leave.
The flame hit a person's back and burned quickly. Blue appeared in the burning process. The blue flame jumped. Two breaths later, the pregnant woman crawled out of the flames, screaming and shouting that she was about to give birth. A man came out, picked up a red fire hammer from somewhere, and smashed it on the pregnant woman's head and also on her abdomen.
The ground was covered with blood.
Flames were burning everywhere.
It was as if the floor was filled with flamethrowers, with flames gushing out of the cracks. The ground was completely burned, and after a while, the ground was charred black.
When the flames completely dissipated, only a black pill filled with the smell of gunpowder remained on the ground.
It smelled like a foul, rotten, and sour odor of Chinese medicine residue, as if it had just drifted down the sewer and rolled into a trash can.
Leyuan picked up the pill and returned to the ground. Outside the well, countless people rushed over from all directions, knocked him down, snatched the pill from his hand, and a group of people crushed the pill, ground the black, smelly residue into powder and swallowed it.
They thought their black bumps would just disappear, but they didn't.
They turned into a pile of black liquid and lay on the ground, with only a pair of eyes left. They probably retained a little consciousness and were still able to see the world and move their eyeballs, but they might not be able to do many other things in the future.
Leyuan got up from the ground and rubbed the parts of his body that were hit by them. His skin was already bruised. Leyuan pulled down his clothes to cover the bruises and limped away.
Jongin appeared in the corner and waved to Leyuan. Leyuan walked over and Jongin hugged him, saying with a smile, "My friend, look at how frightened you are now. If you don't know, you would think you were just robbed by a beggar."
He said this as if the two of them had really been separated at the bottom of the well and had just met each other.
Of course, that is not the case.
But Paradise didn't mind playing with him.
Lok Yuen hugged Jongin, smiled and said, "Really? Then where are you? Do you think it's fun to see me being played a trick on you? Or are you planning to abandon me here? I have to say, this is a good place. If someone dies accidentally, it can only be called an accident. After all, live broadcasts can't cover every detail, and this is not a filming location for movies or TV series, so there are no close-ups."
He paused, let go of Jongin, looked at his face, and smiled slowly, "At least not now. I didn't know this live broadcast had a close-up before we met. Right? Did you know?"
Jongin blinked and smiled, “I don’t know.”
Le Yuan nodded: "That's right, even though you're not by my side and you don't seem to be looking for me, you might be busy with other things and people, so it's understandable that you don't care about these things."
This statement has an odd meaning.
Jongin laughed, “Are you kidding?”
Leyuan nodded without hesitation and admitted: "Yes, I am joking with you, can't you hear it? Or do you completely fail to understand what I mean?"
Lok Yuen looked at Jongin and asked, "Have you ever planned to kill me here?"
Jongin thought about it, shook his head slowly, and seemed a little hesitant. He smiled at Leyuan and said, "No, I don't think so. Maybe not. If there is, I can't tell you that. I will feel sad. After all, it is still difficult to find friends, especially friends like you who are not annoying. You also know that this is difficult, right?"
Leyuan thought about it and nodded: "Indeed."
They both smiled.
Jongin dragged Leyuan to an empty bench, and the two of them sat down. Jongin pointed Leyuan in a direction and said, "Look, that's the person who thinks he has discovered the truth."
Leyuan looked in the direction and heard a man shouting, "We have all been deceived! That man was also deceived. It doesn't matter. We don't care about him. He is just a dead man, a hateful liar who almost killed us all and died a long time ago! I want to tell you one thing, I want to expose his deception! Jumping down from the well of the Taoist temple will not lead you to a new place, but to the alchemy furnace!
Have you heard of the alchemy furnace? If we jump down from here, we will only fall into the alchemy furnace set up by the Taoist temple! That is not a good thing. We will be burned by the high-temperature flames that come out of nowhere and turn into a pile of black ash or sticky liquid. In the end, only one person can get free and come out of it, and that person will hold the black pill that can cure diseases in his hand.
Yes, if we take that pill, even if it's just a little bit, we can cure our black pimple outbreaks and survive!
This is our hope. We must find someone to go down, but we need to experiment. If we don't know how many people it takes to get a black pill, it's impossible and unnecessary to let everyone jump down. It will kill all of us. Everyone, listen to my advice!
Let's start the experiment. Anyway, there are still so many people here, so many people want to jump down, and so many people need the black pill. We can't just sit there and wait for death, and we can't just stand by and watch. This is everyone's war. As long as we are still standing here, we can't stay out of it! Did you hear me clearly? How many people are willing to follow me? Shout it out! Shout it out!"
It looks like the atmosphere is lively.
Jongin pulled the park and pointed in another direction: "Do you see that? A bunch of idiots are having a meeting. I am willing to be a radish party. Of course, I don't mean to humiliate radishes. But I hope they can get out alive, because in this way, the whole world may be filled with idiots like them in the future. We don't need to do anything, they will die on their own. No one can be blamed."
Jongin smiled.
Leyuan looked over and nodded.
I have to admit, judging by their clothing, appearance and behavior, they do look a bit like idiots.
However, it is wrong to judge a person by his appearance, so Leyuan is ready to listen to what they say next and then see what they will do.
After all, when judging a person, one should not only look at what he says but also what he does. This is a set of standards that may be effective. Leyuan is not sure whether this set of standards is effective, but now that there is an opportunity to experiment, he is willing to take a closer look, so that after a while, he may get the result.
It was easy and simple, and Paradise looked at them silently from a distance.
They seemed to be having a real meeting.
Oh no, suddenly they all look like carrots.
Paradise narrowed his eyes.
One of them sneezed and swore, "Damn it, it's too windy and too cold here, and the clouds are so thick. I don't know when we can go down the mountain. If it keeps torturing me like this, I can't bear it any longer and just lie down on the ground."
Someone is passing by.
