Chapter 68 Fungal Remains Frenzy 29 Apocalypse.
Jin Jian's sense of smell was more acute than his hearing. He detected the smell of blood before the sound, and realizing that something was wrong, he immediately became more cautious.
He tiptoed to the top floor, hiding behind the greenery and peering inside. When he saw the situation clearly, his pupils contracted slightly. He immediately wanted to go down and report to Nanmen Jue, but his movement attracted the attention of the people inside.
"Who goes there!"
When the people inside suddenly rushed towards Jin Jian, Jin Jian did not try to resist. Instead, he shouted confidently downstairs, "Boss, help!"
Then he was pinned to the ground.
Jin Jian happened to know these two people. The two infamous red-named individuals treated the Reincarnation World as a dangerous playground, showing no regard for human life. However, since both of them were originally purple-named and were quite powerful, and they knew how to bully the weak and fear the strong, they never provoked those stronger than themselves. If they were to kill someone, they would kill them completely. Therefore, no one actually punished them.
Those who are stronger don't have the will, and those who are not strong enough can't resist.
Jin Jian was a member of Ouroboros. Now that he had stumbled upon their good deed, he knew he should not have survived. But looking at their ferocious faces, he arrogantly spat at them and revealed a sinister smile.
"Just you wait, kids, your real doomsday is coming."
The two people with red names, one named Li Luo and the other Gou Si, looked at each other after seeing Jin Jian's expression.
"Is this guy crazy?"
"I don't know, who cares? It's delivered to our door, might as well take it. Kill him and take the body back."
"But the boss he was talking about..."
"I'll go take a look." Gou Si got up and walked towards the ladder, teasingly adding, "So what if it's Ouroboros? Seriously, with the strength of the two of us, who's there to be afraid of? We can't be so unlucky as to have those orange...gold..."
Before he could finish speaking, a person stood in front of him. The first thing that struck him was not who could climb up so quickly, but the fact that the face, when magnified, was truly dizzying.
"……name……"
Gou Si subconsciously finished what he was about to say. Because of the angle, he didn't see the top of the person's head at first. It was the clattering sound from behind that brought him back to his senses.
"Nan Nan Nan...Nanmen Jue?!"
"Nanmen Jue...?"
Gou Si subconsciously looked up at the person's head. The meaning of the name slowly entered his brain, and his bewildered eyes instantly turned into a panicked one. He scrambled backward and fled.
"How could it be Nanmen Jue!"
This sudden bad news completely shattered their will to resist. Nanmen Jue underestimated his importance in the hearts of the reincarnators, especially those with red names. The two turned to run, but the only place to leave was behind Nanmen Jue. They looked at each other, gritted their teeth, and boldly rushed towards the ladder, one on the left and one on the right.
Jin Jian pounced like a tiger, knocking Gou Si to the ground. Nanmen Jue casually moved away, disappearing in an instant from what seemed like a distance, and grabbed Li Luo by the back of the neck with one hand.
"Let me go!"
Li Luo instinctively raised his hand to grab Nanmen Jue's face, but Nanmen Jue grabbed his wrist and with a slight force, a cracking sound was heard, and Li Luo let out a terrifying scream.
Seeing this, Gou Si dared not move. The two of them trembled and looked fearfully at Nanmen Jue, who was looking at the rooftop.
After coming up, Nanmen Jue's face darkened.
She had stayed here one night before. That night, colorful lights twinkled, and the aroma of wine filled the air. The group managed to put aside their fear and tension and enjoy a peaceful night.
At this moment, the sofa that she still remembered as being so comfortable was dragged to the middle of the rooftop, covered in patches of blood and unidentified slime. A young girl lay on the ground, her face pale, her pupils wide open, and she was already lifeless.
She was completely naked, and the twisted limbs and cruel marks on her body showed what she had just gone through and how the bloodstains on the sofa came about.
On the round table where Hong Chenxi had placed wine and flowers, an old man lay slumped over, his hands and feet bound to the table legs, his body covered in blood. He was not dead yet, but he was completely numb, only breathing weakly with his eyes open, and he did not look at the crowd.
"this……"
Mo Gui and Guan Junren also climbed up. Seeing this scene, the two were furious. Mo Gui raised his leg to rush towards the two, but Guan Junren grabbed him.
Mo Gui calmed down, broke free from Guan Junren, walked to the old man's side and untied the rope for him, while Guan Junren squatted down in front of the girl and reached out to touch her neck.
His face darkened, and he shook his head at Nanmen Jue.
Having obtained the answer he already knew, Nanmen Jue slowly looked at the thing he was holding in his hand.
Terrified by Nanmen Jue's gaze, Li Luo stopped screaming and stared at her in terror, trembling like a quail.
Gou Si, who was being held down by Jin Jian, was also trembling: "Help, help..."
“Both of them are notorious criminals,” Jin Jian said. “They don’t discriminate; they treat everyone the same. They especially like to rape and then kill, and their methods of torture are appalling.”
Even Kim Geon, who comes from the Ouroboros family, said it was outrageous, which shows how heinous the actions of these two people were.
The two men's eyes darted frantically over the group of people.
Suddenly, Gou Si said, "We...we know you're powerful! We weren't thinking of taking it from you. If you like this place, we'll leave now! We'll give it to you, we'll give it all to you!"
"Yes, yes, we'll give them all to you, we won't fight you for them!" Li Luo nodded quickly.
"Now you know fear?" Mo Gui glanced at them with disgust.
He carefully helped the old man down.
Gou Si continued, "I won't affect your mission in any way. Let us go. We'll take a detour if we see you again."
Without saying a word, Guan Junren stepped forward and punched him hard in the face with his only remaining fist.
"You!" Gou Si was instinctively furious, but then immediately realized what she had done, lowering her head meekly to hide her venomous gaze. "Good, hit me however you want, just spare my life..."
"You beast!" Guan Junren said hoarsely, this usually gentle to the point of being weak was now truly intent on killing.
He pulled out a dagger and was about to slit Gou Si's throat when Gou Si screamed in fright. A white scalpel arrived before him even faster, cleanly severing Gou Si's throat and returning to Nanmen Jue's hand with a splatter of blood.
Everyone fell silent. Li Luo was terrified. A foul odor wafted out, and Li Luo trembled as he urinated on the ground.
"No...no no no! Please don't kill me! I'll never do it again, I'll never do it again!" he cried out frantically.
At the same time, a hoarse laugh filled with hatred rang out. Everyone looked over and saw the old man, supported by Mo Gui, trembling as he stared at the dead Gou Si, his eyes bloodshot from laughing. But he was laughing with all his might when he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Retribution...retribution!" the old man said hoarsely. "I told you long ago, you would all get your comeuppance!"
He tried to rush up, but fell to the ground. Without saying a word, Nanmen Jue snapped the neck of the man in his hand and threw him downstairs.
They were just two low-level purple-named individuals; she didn't even need to exert much effort.
Jin Jian followed suit and threw the dead Gou Si off the rooftop.
The old man was still laughing heartlessly when Nanmen Jue walked over, first patting a green talisman on his chest to stop the bleeding, then lifting the cloth on the sofa, tearing off the clean sofa cover underneath, and covering the girl's dead body with it.
The old man could no longer stand; even with Mo Gui's support, he was still swaying. Mo Gui couldn't bear it and said, "Sit down and rest for a while."
He helped the old man lean against the sofa, but was met with fierce resistance.
“I’m not going there! That’s where they killed my granddaughter, I don’t want to go there…”
The cries were piercing and heart-wrenching, a hatred torn from the depths of his heart. Mo Gui subconsciously released him, and the old man collapsed to the ground, crying and laughing at the same time.
"My dear girl, the bad guy is dead. Go in peace, my poor girl..."
Jin Jian was already used to this kind of scene, and stood silently behind Nanmen Jue, while Guan Junren and Mo Gui both had red eyes.
Without saying a word, Nanmen Jue wrapped the girl in a sofa cover, picked her up, and immediately looked at her anxiously, "Where are you taking Nannan?"
"Red Dawn cherishes her flowers. If she were buried here, with flowers as her companions, would she like it?" This was the first thing Nanmen Jue said after coming up, asking the only old man who was not a reincarnator.
The old man looked shakily at the flower bed. Hong Chenxi had planted some flowers that Nanmenjue couldn't recognize, pink, white and purple, which swayed gently in the evening breeze.
"My daughter will like it," the old woman said. "She loves flowers the most."
Jin Jian, with great foresight, went to dig the soil. Mo Gui glared at him incredulously, but was not to be outdone, and went to help. The two of them worked quickly, competing with each other. Nanmen Jue came over carrying the girl. The pit was almost dug.
Nanmen Jue buried the girl in the flower bed on the rooftop.
The old man's bloodshot eyes watched their movements intently. He tried to get up, somewhat agitated, but then clutched his chest and coughed up blood.
Just like Hong Chenxi back then, his heart meridian had been severed, and simply stopping the bleeding was no longer useful for him. He was like a candle flickering in the wind, and could die at any moment.
Having been there once before, Mo Gui, familiar with the place, lit the colorful lights. In the soft light, the group sat on the ground, and the old man told them about his experiences.
Their experiences were nothing special; it was simply a story of a grandfather and granddaughter relying on each other for survival while wandering. The old man was a troubled youth who was known for fighting and brawling when he was young. Unexpectedly, in his old age, he couldn't even protect his only remaining granddaughter.
The enemy was dead. The hatred in the old woman's eyes faded, and she sighed with tears in her eyes, "I was diagnosed with cancer four years ago. She was always afraid that I would leave her. I never thought that in the end, she would be the one to go before me..."
The reincarnators remained silent.
The old man was nearing his end. He clutched his chest, sniffed, and then smiled, a smile tinged with nostalgia. "A few months ago, we found a bottle of beer, but unfortunately, Nannan said I wasn't feeling well and wouldn't let me drink it. Under her strict control, I haven't been able to drink for years. I really crave that now..."
Nanmen Jue suddenly stood up, walked into the back house, and came out holding a bottle of beer.
With a flick of her thumb, the bottle cap flew off. She silently placed the beer in front of the old man, and, seeing his eyes suddenly light up, fed him the drink.
