Chapter 141: Tangdi Tongxin (9) When the New World Comes
The people in the banquet hall fled in panic, and Tu Cheng took Gao Mengtang to hide in a safe place on the deck.
He turned on the faucet and rinsed Gao Mengtang's burned arm over and over again, and asked in a suppressed voice: "Does it hurt?"
Gao Mengtang: "Why did you kill them?"
"They hurt you." Tu Cheng said.
"What's up with those Tongxin vines?"
"I don't know." Tu Cheng said. Seeing the faded and curled skin where Gao Mengtang was burned, he wanted to reach out and touch it, but he didn't dare. "Will it leave a scar?"
"I was too lenient. I should have knocked out their teeth one by one, cut off their limbs, and let them eat it themselves."
Since Tu Cheng already knew that he was a player, Gao Mengtang no longer hid it. He found the healing potion and poured it on the burn. The wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Gao Mengtang: "Don't worry about me, we have a way."
The healing potion can restore the injury to a level that does not affect life, but regardless of medical cosmetic surgery, a hideous scar is still left on the arm.
Tu Cheng's warm palm gently stroked the scar: "Is there no way to remove it?"
"There's nothing I can do for now, but it doesn't matter. It doesn't hurt anymore." Gao Mengtang said, his mind a little confused. Bai Anzhi and Bai Qianheng have been parasitized by the Tongxin vine? Who did it?
besides……
Gao Mengtang: "How do you know I'm a player?"
Tu Cheng found a piece of bandage, carefully wrapped it around Gao Mengtang's arm, and tied a delicate bow: "I got on the ship when I was 11 years old and became a pirate for 13 years. I was in prison for 3 years, but I couldn't stay in prison, so I escaped last year."
Couldn't stay in jail...so he escaped.
Why do you make escaping prison sound as easy as skipping school?
After escaping from prison, Tu Cheng had a criminal record and could not find a decent job. He did not want to do petty theft because it was too embarrassing.
So he went back to his old profession - robbery.
We will rob whoever’s house is bigger.
Not long ago, he broke into a house and found a lifelike, beautiful and cute doll in the master bedroom. It was wearing a princess dress.
Gao Mengtang: ...
Could it be the peripheral product [Blind Princess Dress] launched by the Black Tower Store? ?
"The doll is very cute," Tu Cheng smiled gently, "and looks exactly like you."
That's it...
At that time, Tu Cheng didn't know that he was robbing a Black Tower player, nor did he know that the princess dress doll was the official figure of the blind. He just thought the doll was beautiful, so he took it away.
Only when he saw Gao Mengtang in person did he realize that it was no ordinary doll.
Gao Mengtang should not be an ordinary person either.
After hearing the whole story, Gao Mengtang held his forehead helplessly: "The doll is sold at the Black Tower store for 3,000 broken bones. You can sell it at half the price and exchange it for real money, which will be enough for you to live for three years."
Tu Cheng thought of the doll and looked like a loving father: "I can't bear to sell it. I want to adopt a daughter and give her the doll to play with."
There was a scream in the distance, and the people in the cabin ran out in panic. Gao Mengtang quickly collected his thoughts: "Tong Xinteng is still in there, I'll go back and take a look."
The Tongxin vines were like leeches, piercing into the bodies of Bai Anzhi and Bai Qianheng, throbbing, twisting, and sucking their blood.
Bai Qianheng's face, which had been burned to a crisp, gradually recovered. Bai Anzhi's skull, which had been poked like a sieve, also gradually became complete.
Green vines wrapped around them...
Flame, Tongxin vine is afraid of fire.
Gao Mengtang picked up a basin of charcoal and was about to pour it on them.
"Be patient." Wei Wei came over and gently held Gao Mengtang's arm. "Don't be in a hurry to kill them. I haven't seen what I want to see yet."
Gao Mengtang was stunned for a few seconds, then suddenly realized: "You let the Tong Xin vine parasitize them?"
Wei Wei: "Do you want to give me some moral education?"
"No, but this..." This is too extreme. Considering Wei Wei's usual personality, it's not surprising.
After hesitating for a while, Gao Mengtang squeezed out a sentence: "They are Bai Jie's relatives."
"I asked Bai Jie, he won't be sad if they die." Wei Wei sat on a chair next to him and lit a cigarette. "I took the sample from that strange child. Guess, will they have those things growing on their heads?"
The parasitism of Tongxinteng is divided into two stages. The first stage is when it parasitizes on the plant and develops for the first time.
In the second stage, it absorbs human genes, especially genes from blood relatives, and its appearance gradually becomes that of humans.
But because they don't know much about humans and are still at the stage of blind men touching an elephant, the creatures they create are often bizarre, like pseudo-humans imitating humans poorly.
During the conversation, Bai Anzhi and Bai Qianheng opened their eyes and stood up shakily. At first glance, they looked the same as before, except that their eyes were dull. When they turned their heads, their heads moved first, and then their eyeballs turned little by little.
Gao Mengtang tugged at Wei Wei's sleeve and said, "Your goal has been achieved. Let's go. It's too dangerous here."
"No hurry," Wei Wei was prepared and took out a pack of masks, "Put them on."
After putting on two layers of masks, Bai Anzhi and Bai Qianheng were seen returning to their human form. They twisted their limbs and crawled on the ground in a weird and chaotic way.
He rushed to the room where the black water was stored and began to taste it crazily.
After the cargo ship was hijacked, the pirates didn't take care of it, and the black water was not further treated, and the stench was overwhelming. However, they were intoxicated like entering an open-air swimming pool.
The back of their heads gradually split in two and some ugly organs grew out of them.
The vague resentment in Wei Wei's eyes finally disappeared. He smiled with his eyes curved, took out his mobile phone and recorded the video.
"What do you think about posting this video on the Heita homepage?" Wei Wei adjusted the camera angle.
Pale roots poked out from their pores, and Bai Anzhi and Bai Qianheng looked like two white-haired monkeys. Soon, those white roots were evenly covered with a layer of brown-black stains, turning into dirty monkeys.
Before Gao Mengtang could reply, footsteps were heard behind him. It was Bai Jie who ran in with He Yi in his arms. He saw his cousin and nephew in the black water tank chewing the disgusting excrement, and he screamed in shock.
"How did they become like this!" Bai Jie shouted.
"I'm very sorry," Wei Wei said insincerely, "I just don't like them."
Bai Jie was stunned for a few seconds, then turned to Hei and said, "See? This is the fate of a bad person. You are still young, so you must learn well and be an upright person like your brother. Do you understand?"
Hei rolled his eyes: "How many years older are you than me?"
"Three years old!"
Hei covered his mouth and nose to block out the stench, his expression full of disgust, probably mixed with a little disgust for his father's taste: "I'm about to be a senior in high school, and you've finished the college entrance examination. I took the college entrance examination in my sophomore year and got 655 points. How much did you get?"
Bai Jie suddenly stopped talking.
They wolfed down the entire bucket of black water. The roots that emerged from their skin became much thicker. They crawled out of the bucket, covered in filth, and their limbs twisted on the floor like vines.
When the pirates saw Tong Xin Teng, they were frightened at first, but when they found that Tong Xin Teng did not show any aggression towards them, they could not suppress their curiosity and came over to take a look.
More and more people came to the black water storage room. Wo Lanbei and Song Zhong also came over to see.
"This thing eats shit?"
"Fuck, that's disgusting."
"A bird grows on the back of the head? What a weird creature."
The captain simply unbuttoned his pants and urinated on them. Bai Anzhi and Bai Qianheng saw it, as if they had seen some nectar, and rushed over, eager to lick it clean.
"Look at this thing! It can even drink urine!" the captain laughed.
Some cheered, some retched in disgust, and more and more people unzipped their pants and urinated into them. They twisted their limbs and crawled, moving among the pirates like they were bathing in sweet rain.
Despite the terrible scene, Wei Wei just laughed twice.
After all, he was still a respectable man and didn't want to stand by and watch this dirty scene. He gave a close-up of the backs of Bai Anzhi and Bai Qianheng's heads and put away his phone: "Let's go, there's nothing to see."
The scene of the monster licking urine stimulated the pirates' dirty nerves. They had just drunk some wine and started to compete with each other to see who could urinate farther and more.
Before Gao Mengtang and his companions could leave the black water room, they heard a scream. The captain covered his crotch and fell to the ground, with blood flowing from the gaps between his fingers.
Bai Anzhi chewed the organ he had just bitten off, but found it unpalatable, so he spat it on the ground.
The mass of rotten flesh had bulged into several pustules, and on the surface of the pustules, there were vaguely human faces.
The scene was silent for a second. Those who were joining in the fun finally remembered that it was a monster. Then, they let out terrifying screams and ran out, pushing and shoving each other.
"Burn them to death quickly," Gao Mengtang said as he retreated, "If this continues, innocent people will also be killed."
Wei Wei: "Try burning it."
What does "burn it and try it out" mean? Gao Mengtang felt strange, but he didn't have time to think carefully. He lit a piece of wood and threw it over, and then threw a few bottles of high-concentration liquor at them.
The flames burst into flames, Bai Anzhi and Bai Qianheng stopped attacking and struggled silently, their skin bursting and green pus oozing out.
All the pirates had fled, leaving only the players and Tu Cheng. They added fuel to the fire, surrounding the two monsters that had been completely transformed.
Gao Mengtang: "You just said, 'burn it and try it', what do you mean?"
Wei Wei said calmly, "I have improved the resurrection technique. Before I used the Tong Xin vine to parasitize them, I implanted a resurrection contract in the Tong Xin vine. I don't know how effective it will be, so I'll use them as an experiment."
"You are too ruthless! The person has turned into a monster, and you still want to squeeze out every last bit of usefulness!" Wolanbei took two steps back and kept a distance from Wei Wei, "Let me think about whether I have ever offended you."
In the flames, Bai Qianheng and Bai Anzhi's bodies shrank rapidly and became a very small ball. The raging fire was extinguished in an instant, and what appeared before everyone's eyes were two balls of liquid that looked like egg liquid.
They fuse together, the shell gradually hardens and becomes a seed.
Wei Wei squinted his eyes and observed for a moment: "It seems to be successful..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the seed shell burst open and white roots shot out like fireworks, piercing through walls, steel plates, and glass, looking for soil everywhere.
The captain's organs had been bitten off and he was lying on his side on the ground, unable to get up. When the roots popped out, he was the first to be killed.
The roots penetrated into his skin, and in just a few seconds, the captain went from a muscular man to a skinny patient.
Wei Wei's pupils shrank and he rushed over immediately.
"Danger!" Gao Mengtang wanted to pull him back, but his speed was no match for Wei Wei. He watched Wei Wei rush into the black water, and the dense white roots covered him like a spider web.
He cut through the roots and rescued the captain.
Gao Mengtang couldn't help but be moved: "I didn't expect you to risk your life to save him. I'm very touched, but next time you still have to prioritize your own safety."
Wei Wei was sniffing the captain's breath. When he heard this, he raised his head and looked at Gao Mengtang strangely.
"Mr. Blind, you may have misunderstood," Wei Wei said, "The captain is not dead, but he is not alive either. Give him another stab and dig out his heart."
Gao Mengtang: “…Oh.”
The first time is unfamiliar, the second time is familiar. The third time, Gao Mengtang was more skilled and calm. He acted quickly and efficiently, and did not let the captain suffer any more.
The captain was attacked by Tong Xin Teng, his body was mutated, and his blood turned green. When Gao Mengtang dug open his chest, he suddenly began to think about a question: why was he unwilling to kill?
Gao Mengtang is a little different from the others, and he knew it since he was a child. He can't eat meat or any food with a strong smell. He is also very beautiful.
Gao Mengtang found it magical that his parents and brother all loved to eat pieces of meat cut from corpses.
While playing in the community, Gao Mengtang found a wild cat in the bushes. Its legs were broken and it was dying. Gao Mengtang tilted his head and looked at the cat. Then he turned around and ran to play with his brother.
When I returned to the bush again, the wild cat had died.
The corpse. Take it home for mom and dad to eat.
But the parents didn't eat it.
"Mengtang, did you kill the cat?" That night, his father told him a bedtime story at his bedside.
Gao Mengtang shook his head: "No. When I saw the cat, it was injured."
"Yes. Next time you see injured animals, save them. Remember?" Dad stroked his soft hair. "Don't kill animals, and don't kill people."
"Why?" Gao Mengtang asked.
Gao Huan said: "They are lives, just like you. Caring for small animals will make you look like a person with a broad mind."
"Oh. I understand." Gao Mengtang closed his eyes, "But why should I love all people?"
Gao Huan said: "This is your mission."
“What is the mission?”
"It's what you were born to do."
Gao Mengtang felt a little annoyed. For some reason, the words "this is what you were born to do" made him feel disgusted.
"Am I the only one who should be kind? Do other people need to be kind?" Gao Mengtang recalled for a while, "The classmate sitting behind me would pull off the legs of spiders one by one, and my brother would throw live fish into hot water. They don't have fraternity."
Gao Huan just smiled. After a long while, he pinched Gao Mengtang's arm and gently kissed the back of his hand.
"You are different from them," his father told him then. "One day you will know that you are different from them."
Cut off the tendons connected to the heart, make a hole in the heart, and let the blood drip onto the pearls. Gao Mengtang suddenly felt like laughing.
He refused to kill, not because he was kind, but because his parents taught him to be "loving". He was just an obedient child.
In fact, he is a blank sheet of paper, without any regard for good or evil, cold or warm. He only has the traces of the saints' teachings.
Lust, greed. Two pearls are lit.
Put the pearls into the bag one by one, and then kick the captain's body off the boat. Gao Mengtang still maintained a knowing, self-deprecating smile.
He thought of that night when Gao Huan said to him: When the new world comes, you will know that you are different from them.
