Chapter 24 Chapter 24
"Xiao Ke, have you reported it to the Institute of Superpowers?"
"I have completed the report! The supernatural power said that they will send support as soon as possible."
Most of the time, the Institute of Supernatural Management is reliable.
Xi Siling had already walked out of the house carrying the unconscious Li Zhiqiang and continued to assign "tasks" to Li Ke.
"Check the map. There is a small town ten kilometers away from Louli Village. The old man went to take the Pink Heart Massage Shop on the street. Go and catch him and ask him who made this zombie puppet. Don't let him get away. Regardless of whether you get the answer clearly or not, hand him over to the Institute of Supernatural Powers."
As for whether Li Ke runs the ten kilometers or asks someone else to give him a ride, that depends on Li Ke's own wisdom. Xi Siling is not very worried.
"No problem, just be safe and be careful."
Lan Yi had already sent Aunt Li and her two children into Liuhuaqi's 'semi-controlled' evacuation team.
"Si Ling, let's go too."
But Xi Siling couldn't leave, or to be more precise, she couldn't leave.
The zombie puppet will first target the person who presided over the sacrifice the moment it wakes up.
Yes, what these living dead hate most is not the people who made them into zombie puppets, but the people who prepared sacrifices but failed to satisfy their greed.
Although this target exists, it cannot steadily draw aggro like the main tank in the game.
After awakening, the zombie puppet will chase the person who presided over the sacrifice and kill all humans in its path.
After the target is completely dead, the zombie puppet will completely lose control and start killing like an ordinary zombie.
Well... this description is no different from before.
Therefore, Xi Siling could not take Li Zhiqiang away. Instead, she had to delay time as much as possible while ensuring Li Zhiqiang's survival.
Of course, the best outcome is that their strength is enough to kill the zombie puppets. This will not only ensure the safety of ordinary people within a few miles, but their assessment results will also definitely be first.
But the old thief obviously wanted to make things difficult for them. As the protagonist, 77 could suffer a short-term defeat or even escape, as long as he could cheer up and turn defeat into victory afterwards.
But at what cost?
Xi Siling would never allow anything to happen to either Li Ke or Lan Yi.
"11, go and help take over 77's work. 77, come to my side."
If the previous instructions could still reveal Xi Siling's purpose, then this moment's instructions were a little confusing.
However, Xi Siling is the brain of the team, so Li Ke and Lan Yi trust him wholeheartedly unless there is something obviously unreasonable.
"Got it. You and Aqi should be careful."
Liu Huaqi quickly returned to Xi Siling's side. He could clearly feel that the [Oracle Mist] was conveying an extremely ominous aura to him.
Of course he would not be afraid of a mere zombie puppet, but for Liu Huaqi, the best option now was to run.
If Liu Huaqi was alone, he would really choose to run away. Who would care about the life and death of the people in the village? It was just karma and fate.
But the senior in the department is still here.
"Senior, we..."
"Are you afraid?"
Xi Siling turned her head and looked at him with a smile. If it weren't for the darkness of the night and the somewhat manic evening breeze blowing, and the unconscious man lying on the ground next to him in an imageless manner, the scene would probably have been more heartwarming.
There was also a certain foul smell in the air, which indicated the fact that danger was approaching.
"Don't be afraid. Aren't the seniors here too?"
There was even a hint of nonchalant laughter in his expression, making him look like a person who is ignorant and fearless.
But outside the world, Liuhuaqi is the brave and fearless male protagonist of the hot-blooded comic book. Inside this world, he is a powerful psychic who is far more powerful than what he sees.
Xi Siling's conscience hurt at this moment.
Just for a moment.
"Why don't you ask me why I left you alone?"
"This shows that you trust me, I won't let you down."
Liuhuaqi's smile was so bright.
Very good, I acted with him again.
Is this really appropriate for such a serious occasion?
Well... this is a hot-blooded youth comic, so it's perfect.
"Oh, you're making me feel guilty, 77, don't trust others so easily."
Isn't it just acting? He can do it too.
The environment and atmosphere that had been dangerous and serious just now suddenly became relaxed.
Liu Huaqi's pair of golden eyes were filled with the word "innocent". "But it's the senior, not someone else."
Xi Siling smiled and didn't respond.
As to whether he took it seriously or not, it is unknown.
With a sudden tremor from the ground and a cry that almost broke through the sky, the zombie puppet born from twisted desires finally broke free from its restraints.
It comes to claim lives due to karma and will not stop until one dies.
Both of them looked at the room where the tunnel was located, but they did not show any nervousness.
Xi Siling put one hand behind his back, while Liu Huaqi stood in front of him, keeping alert and protecting Xi Siling behind him.
It was obviously a serious occasion, but Xi Siling still had time to slack off.
He thought that if this scene was drawn, it would be very cool.
At this moment, the oppressive feeling of powerful supernatural powers came from behind the two of them. They turned around at the same time and saw a small black shadow sitting on the water tank in the yard.
When I looked closely, I could see that it was a baby.
The stench mixed with evil thoughts was overwhelming, but it could not make Xi Siling and Liu Huaqi retreat a single step.
"77."
"exist."
"Don't worry." Xi Siling said softly, "I'm here."
——
The corpse baby's ability is at least super S-level (S+) in strength.
Without any hesitation, Liu Huaqi manipulated the [Mist] to hide himself, Xi Siling, and Li Zhiqiang who was lying on the ground.
Although the senior in the department had described his special abilities, he had never experienced them personally, and was worried that the corpse baby would kill him with one blow, leaving the senior with no time to heal himself.
The dead baby disappeared and reappeared within the range of the fog's detection, as if at an astonishing speed.
But the teleportation without any time difference negated this judgment.
Coupled with the fact that it came to the surface from the tunnel in an instant, which is behind them, it can almost be concluded that the supernatural powers possessed by the corpse baby are related to teleportation.
There are many supernatural powers that can achieve teleportation, and the worst of them is the type that blocks space.
The ability to jump freely in a fixed space is a characteristic of this type of ability, and the [Mist] he uses is more like marking the area of pasture that can be owned on an open grassland.
Xi Siling and Li Zhiqiang, who were hidden by him, were as conspicuous as tents built in the pasture.
Don't be fooled by the small size of the corpse baby. With its violent and huge supernatural powers, it can crush anything in its path just by charging forward.
Not being born, the corpse baby has only untrained instincts and a playful nature, making its attacks even more unpredictable.
Maybe it's just playing with its prey, as its attacks aren't fatal.
But even the living dead would get tired of this kind of cat and mouse game.
Liuhuacui has a very bad compatibility with it and they are of the type that restrain each other.
When he used the fog again to change the corpse baby's judgment of the environment, causing the corpse baby's attack to fail, the little thing finally realized that if he didn't kill the guy who influenced him, he would not be able to kill the person who didn't prepare more delicious food for him, so he started to get serious.
This is exactly what Liuhuacui means.
Fog, fog, it makes it easy for you to recognize the direction around you, so how can it be called fog?
The corpse baby's confident attacks always failed in the end, and then he would be hit by at least one heavy punch from Liu Huaqi.
Just like a real child, it began to scream in pain and went crazy because its desires were not met.
Pure and huge amounts of supernatural power accumulated in his body, and his small body was like a bomb.
Liuhuaji understood at a glance what it wanted to do, and released his supernatural powers from the inside out to temporarily dispel the fog of his supernatural powers.
Ordinary psychics can also do this, but it usually costs their lives.
But this is a dead baby. As long as it is not killed on the spot, it can continue to survive until it is fully recovered.
Liuhuaqi can resist, and the senior in the department probably won't die, but that b*tch Li Zhiqiang will definitely die.
At that time, it will be like the contract is terminated, and it will only be more difficult to deal with after the corpse baby eats a person.
So the boy didn't hesitate at all, pulled Xi Siling and Li Zhiqiang on the ground and ran out.
At the moment the explosion began, Liu Huaqi threw it out to Li Zhiqiang without mercy, and he stood in front of Xi Siling.
A bloody light with a fishy smell and a deafening explosion burst out at the same time.
My back hurts a little, Liuhuaqi thought.
In fact, you can run a little further so that you won’t get hurt.
But he really wanted to experience the senior's special powers once, and he also wanted to see what expression the senior would have.
Liu Huaqi tried hard to make an expression that looked pitiful because of the pain, and then he looked at Xi Siling who was being protected by him.
But it was not what he had imagined. The senior students in the department did not tolerate him, comfort him or encourage him as they did before.
The boy simply placed his hand on his shoulder expressionlessly, and the pain in his back disappeared instantly.
Instead, there is an indescribable, almost heavenly feeling of supreme happiness that fills my heart.
Ah, how could it be such an experience? The happiness at this moment makes me feel like heaven is just like this.
So happy, so happy that I want to sink into it.
Compared to this happiness, the obvious growth of supernatural powers is insignificant.
If only...if only I could always experience this happiness...
But...but the department head...
Why are you so angry, so...sad?
——
Xi Siling didn't know how many times Liu Huaqi had almost made her laugh.
Did he really think that he couldn't tell that he did it on purpose? Who was he pretending to be a hero?
Although he knew that the day would come when he would use his special powers against the protagonist, Xi Siling still felt unhappy from the bottom of his heart.
Everyone who experiences his special powers for the first time will have this expression, without exception.
Xi Siling never held out hope that anyone could resist this happiness, not even the world's chosen male protagonist in the hot-blooded youth comic.
"77..."
"Senior in the department."
"?"
"I know why the senior in the department hates his own abilities."
This was the first time that Xi Siling couldn't control his expression, which was filled with shock and astonishment.
Liuhuaqi's expression was clearly still controlled by 'happiness'!
The next second, the boy slapped himself mercilessly.
"I'm sorry, senior..." Happiness was replaced by a deeper pain, "I won't 'indulge' in happiness, I swear to you."
