Chapter 139: Tangdi Tongxin (7) The Wall of Weeping
Back in the bedroom, Duan Song and Wei Wei were surrounding a glass box covered with a black cloth. Both of them looked unhappy.
"What did you find?" Gao Mengtang leaned over and asked.
Wei Wei was a little embarrassed, his eyes dodging, "Take a look at it. But it doesn't look very nice."
Duan Song lifted the cloth and found a child inside. The child was about 1.5 meters tall and quite pretty. He didn't cry or make a fuss. He opened his round eyes and looked at Gao Mengtang curiously.
At first glance, this was just an ordinary child. After a closer look, Gao Mengtang also looked away, with an embarrassed expression.
The back of the child's head was split in two, clearly a butt. Under the butt were two sets of reproductive organs, one male and one female. The lower abdomen was flat.
"What is this?" Gao Mengtang asked, "Why did Tong Xin Teng become like this?"
Wei Wei shook his head: "I just threw in a leftover orange slice. I added some growth catalyst and sexual characteristics stabilizing agent last night."
"Hungry." The strange-looking child actually spoke human language with standard pronunciation.
The sound did not come from the mouth because it did not open its mouth at all.
No one paid any attention to it.
"Hungry." It said again, kicking the glass. "Hungry."
Only then did Gao Mengtang discover that the child had two mouths on the soles of his feet.
"It looks like a human, right?" Duan Song covered the cloth again, "but it has a strange shape. This is a characteristic of plants."
Flowers are the reproductive organs of plants, growing at the top and usually monoecious. Roots are the nutritional organs, growing at the bottom.
Will Tongxin vine allow plants to evolve into human form?
Gao Mengtang immediately thought of the first test copy [Garden Horror], in which the animals evolved into human appearances one after another.
Is it a coincidence? Perhaps the mastermind behind these two copies is the same person?
What is the purpose of the mastermind who turns animals and plants into human-like creatures?
"Mr. Blind, try killing it," Wei Wei said, "perhaps it can help you complete one of your evil qualities."
Duan Song took the child out, pressed his head down on the floor, and motioned Gao Mengtang to start. Wei Wei handed him a knife.
"Hungry." The child still shouted.
Gao Mengtang raised the dagger and aimed it at its heart. The blade did not fall.
"How about giving it an anesthetic?" Gao Mengtang suggested with a smile, "It wouldn't be good if it started barking and attracted attention, right?"
Wei Wei: “…”
Duan Song: “…”
The two rejected Gao Mengtang's humanitarian concern with silence. He had no choice but to close his eyes and stab with the knife.
The child's chest was pierced, but he didn't scream. A bunch of green vines emerged from the gaping wound.
The second stab pierced the skull, splitting the grotesque head in two, leaving the inside empty. The child was still alive.
"Cut off the legs," Duan Song said, "Since it's a plant, the roots are more important."
The blade swung and cut off the child's legs. The bloody smell filled the air, and the tender internal organs such as intestines, lungs, kidneys, and brain flowed out from the broken legs. The child still did not cry out in pain.
Plants may not feel pain.
Gao Mengtang felt relieved, and stabbed it a few more times, digging out its heart at the knees. He squeezed out drops of blood and dripped them onto the seven black pearls.
The blood is still green, quite harmonious.
The two pearls were lit up and black mist rose up.
A demon with no eyes or nose, only a mouth, sat behind the long banquet table. Another demon, with poisonous snakes entangled around his body, only a pair of vicious eyes were exposed in the dark shadows.
The second of the seven deadly sins: gluttony and envy.
"This thing can also be considered a human being." Duan Song shrugged. The little fat vulture pecked at the remains on the ground.
Pegana immediately perked up, shook his head, and the long hair slid away from his eyes: "Can it be made into fried chicken?"
"It's not a chicken." Duan Song said.
Pei Jiana: "No matter what it is, just coat it with starch and fry it, it will be edible. Master, will you make it for me?" He rubbed Gao Mengtang's trouser leg back and forth.
"It's half a person. If you eat it today, will you eat its owner tomorrow?" Gao Mengtang poked the dog's nose, "You are not allowed to eat it."
Duan Song was cleaning up the mess, putting the internal organs and body parts into a large garbage bag. Pei Jiana lay on the floor with grievance: "The outer world is so strange, why can't people be eaten?"
"Will you eat your own kind, eat shadow creatures?" Gao Mengtang touched the dog's head, "Be good. I'll treat you to a family bucket when we get out."
Pegana swung his tail and said, "If I don't eat shadow creatures, what should I eat? I'll eat whatever I can get. Anything that's edible will do."
Gao Mengtang: "Huh? You eat our own kind too?"
"Woof. That's right," Pegana dug his front paws into the floor. "We can't defeat the Deadborn. All the creatures on the moon are treasures, out of reach. I can't bear to eat one even if I catch one. We all eat our own kind. Don't humans eat human flesh?"
"What about other creatures, such as cattle and sheep?" Gao Mengtang asked.
Pegana: "No. There are only three types of creatures in the other world: the dead born, the shadow creatures, and the moon creatures."
After listening to His description, Gao Mengtang realized that his understanding of the inner world was biased.
He always thought that the other world was a replica of the Earth, except that there were some more monsters.
No, there are no microbes, viruses, insects, livestock or pets.
At first, there were only two simple and crude categories: moon creatures and shadow creatures.
Later, more and more dead people appeared whose whereabouts were unknown.
Gao Mengtang couldn't help but wonder: "What about the creatures on the moon? Do they also kill each other?"
"No, they eat plants," Pegana said, "but the plants in the inner world are different from those in the outer world. Those plants grow naturally under the moonlight, have no seeds, and do not need pollination."
"Besides, moon creatures rarely eat. They are fairies, so basking in the moonlight is enough for them. Every day they just recite poems, paint, compose music, and study magic."
Thinking about it carefully, Li Mo was a moon creature created by a painter, and I have never seen him eat.
What kind of world is this?
Gao Mengtang was dragging the green bloodstains on the floor while thinking. Suddenly, he thought of something and stopped moving: "Do shadow creatures worship moon creatures?"
"Of course." Pegana said, "Although they hate us, I heard that the shadow creatures can be happy for several days if they can see them."
When talking about the moon creatures, Pegana's eyes lit up and he talked incessantly about the stories he had heard.
There were originally many high walls in the inner world, separating the territories of the moon creatures and the shadow creatures. The shadow creatures often climbed up the walls and peeked inside.
Then he was ruthlessly driven away by the moon creatures.
As a result, many shadow creatures gathered outside the wall and cried, and these walls were called the "Weeping Wall".
The Deadborn appear and attack the city with shadow creatures, but always fail.
Soon after the 12th Wise King ascended the throne, the Weeping Wall collapsed. The shadow creatures rushed in excitedly like birds out of a cage, only to find that the moon creatures were already dying.
The inner world entered an era of war. The shadow creatures and the dead-born sought refuge with different moon creatures, trying every means to extend the lives of the moon creatures, all wanting their masters to live longer and become the wise king Thirteen.
Gao Mengtang was even more surprised: "They have oppressed you for so long, and instead of pushing them down, you supported them in their fight for the throne?"
"There is one of these, too," Pegana replied. "The current Wise King Thirteen is a dead-born. He does not support any moon creature and calls himself king."
At this point, Pegana was quite dissatisfied: "The facts prove that if you are not a moon creature, then it won't work. Look at the inner world, what He has done to it."
After hearing this, Gao Mengtang didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
What's this? If I don't sacrifice my life, how can my boss live in a big villa?
Shadow creatures are truly model workers.
But soon, Gao Mengtang thought of another problem.
The mysterious man behind these two copies seems to be obsessed with "humanoid" creatures, but does not understand the human physiological structure.
Just like the shadow creatures have an obsession with the humanoid moon creatures.
"Shadow creatures, dead-borns..." Gao Mengtang murmured, "Or, it could be the Thirteenth Sage King..."
What does He want to do, turn all living things into humans and create another inner world?
After cleaning up the mess, Wei Wei tied up the garbage bag and prepared to throw it into the sea when no one was paying attention. As soon as he walked out of the room, he saw an annoying face.
"Hey, eunuch!" Bai Qianheng shouted, "What are you carrying? Aphrodisiac?"
Bai Qianheng's facial features were not good-looking, like an underdeveloped bitter melon with bumps. Small eyes, flat nose, very wretched. Young age could not make up for the defects of appearance. There were still two slap marks on his face from Wo Lanbei yesterday.
Wei Wei didn't want to pay attention to him and walked out on his own.
"I'm talking to you!" Bai Qianheng shouted, "Is the aphrodisiac useless to you?"
Duan Song flexed his wrists and glanced down at him condescendingly: "You bastard, shut up."
"Do you have any opinion about my nephew?" Bai Anzhi appeared quietly and stared into Duan Song's eyes.
With the support of his parents, Bai Qianheng's face became even more annoying, just like an untamed wild monkey. He took out a toy dart and threw it at Wei Wei.
With a crackling sound, the garbage bag split open.
A mass of green vines twisted and tried to emerge.
Tongxinteng!
Bai Qianheng immediately took a few steps back.
When their family entered the dungeon, they were particularly frightened by the monster's preference for parasitizing blood-related people.
Wei Wei half turned around, stared at them coldly, and suddenly smiled: "If you are bad enough, you can get rich. If you are stupid enough, you will die unclearly. Bai Anzhi, take good care of your inferior. At least make him smarter."
Originally, this unpleasant experience could be forgotten. Bai Anzhi was about to take his nephew away.
But Bai Qianheng was called a "bad breed" and felt unhappy. He was not smart enough, so he stretched his neck and yelled: "Eunuch, your sister died of Tongxin vine. Does she like to eat shit? I'll give her shit to eat!"
After these words were spoken, the corridor was silent for a full 10 seconds. Not only Gao Mengtang and Duan Song were stunned, but even Bai Anzhi had a flash of fear on his face.
Wei Wei slowly turned his head, his dark green eyes were like two will-o'-the-wisp fires. The deadly low temperature was simply heart-wrenching.
Pah! Bai Anzhi slapped his nephew fiercely.
"What nonsense are you talking about, you idiot?" Bai Anzhi's voice was trembling, and he kicked Bai Qianheng in the stomach again, "Is this how I taught you etiquette?"
After the fight, he bowed 45 degrees to Wei Wei: "I'm sorry, he is ill-educated."
"Heh." Wei Wei laughed, his tone so light that it was almost inaudible, "It's okay."
He walked onto the deck as if nothing had happened and threw the plastic bag down, passing by Bai Jie who was basking in the sun.
"How is your relationship with your cousin, sister, and nephew?" Wei Wei asked him.
"I haven't seen them very often. We're like strangers. Today is probably the second time we've met?" Bai Jie was playing a single-player game on his phone. "Brother Wei, why are you asking this all of a sudden?"
Wei Wei lit a cigarette: "I'm worried that they will die in the dungeon and make you sad."
“Hahaha! I cleared the level!” Bai Jie sat up suddenly and cheered, clenching his fist to cheer himself up. “Compared to their deaths, I am more sad that I died in the last level.”
"That couldn't be better." Wei Wei smiled gently.
*
In the corridor, Gao Mengtang and Duan Song looked at each other in silence.
"Wei Wei acts so calm." Duan Song said in a trance.
Gao Mengtang suddenly thought of Lin Li's prophecy: a hunched man... a riot.
