Chapter 186 Chaos Block No. 13 (43) The corpse-eating Wu...
"I want to repent, my wise master... I have done something wrong, and... I have made the same mistake over and over again..." An Ning's voice was low and suppressed.
Gao Mengtang quietly held the Dream Gem. This gem could make him appear to others as the person they wanted to see. In An Ning's sight, the priest who had been listening to her secrets was standing behind the wooden fence.
An Ning: "I used to be too ruthless and strict. Everything had to be done according to rules and regulations, and I would never allow anything that went beyond the rules to happen... So, tragedy happened."
"There was once a girl who came from a poor family but worked hard to improve herself and was admitted to the court as a translator."
Is it Dai Ying? Gao Mengtang thought to himself, and he continued to listen.
An Ning did not mention Dai Ying's name directly, but there is no doubt that the girl who appeared in her confession was Dai Ying.
"After she passed the interview and received the employment letter for the translation position, she made a request to us: she wanted to receive the salary and medicines that the court paid out every week in advance. She said that her family of seven was very poor, and she wanted to take some things back to help her family."
“I refused because it was not in compliance with the regulations.”
"That night, their whole family was parasitized by the Tongxin vine." An Ning's voice was a little awkward, and she held her hands tightly together in front of her chest. "The Courtroom distributes 10 bottles of blockers every week. If I hadn't been so rigid at the time, the tragedy wouldn't have happened."
So that's how it is. No wonder An Ning's attitude towards Dai Ying's death was so strange.
"After that, I made one mistake after another..." An Ning said in a low voice.
"I took people to deal with their family. Out of guilt, I didn't burn them to death. Instead, I allowed them to disguise themselves as humans and stay in Block 13. I thought that this would make my conscience feel better..."
"Father, did I do something wrong?" An Ning murmured.
Gao Mengtang lowered his voice: "Kid, everyone makes mistakes."
"But the consequences of my mistake were particularly serious," An Ning said, "They attracted more Tongxin vines. In the past six months, Tongxin vines have spread across my area. Now... you can see it, too."
An Ning turned her head and looked out the stained glass window. The streets were silent late at night and Tong Xin Teng was crawling around in the square like a green python.
Block 13 was overrun with Tongxin vines, which were actually attracted by Dai Yinyin and the others.
"Perhaps, I have found the time to correct my mistake," An Ning continued, "I no longer stick to the rules and recruited someone as an exception. In fact, I know that his identity is not right. He is also a translator and is very good. Now I have transferred him to another department."
Obviously, this person is Wei Wei. An Ning gave Wei Wei a chance out of guilt towards Dai Ying.
An Ning put down her hands in a prayer position and said with a sigh, "I hope this new person will not be let down by me again."
After saying this, An Ning slowly left the church like a wandering soul, her shadow stretched out long by the moonlight.
In the confessional, Gao Mengtang waited for a while. When everything was completely quiet, he quietly pushed the door open, walked out of the small room, reunited with his teammates, and told them An Ning's confession.
"Wei Wei is a lucky guy," Song Zhong sighed, "If it weren't for Dai Ying's incident, he would definitely not have been able to enter the courtroom."
"But unfortunately, An Ning wanted to correct the mistake, but he made an even bigger mistake." Duan Song said, "Wei Wei is not an outstanding employee. He has caused chaos in the courtroom."
The effect of the eye-protecting blueberries was getting worse and worse. Gao Mengtang's vision was blurred. He went up the stairs slowly and was always at the back. He accidentally fell and hurriedly used his hands and feet to climb up from the stairs.
Duan Song saw this and took two steps at a time down a few steps, then picked up Gao Mengtang horizontally.
"Come on, senior, don't be embarrassed. Why do you look so bad?"
"Do I have to smile while running away?" Gao Mengtang looked at his hands covered in dust, feeling a little disgusted. He couldn't help but grabbed Duan Song's clothes and wiped his hands clean.
Duan Songzheng walked up with his long legs: "Why are you touching my abdominal muscles? Eight pack, symmetrical... Hey! Are you using my clothes as a rag?! This dress costs 120,000!"
"Is it not possible?" Gao Mengtang asked, looking up.
When looking into his eyes, Duan Song was struck by her beauty. He paused and almost fell down: "Of course. It is an honor for this dress to wipe your hands. Don't frown." After saying that, he rubbed Gao Mengtang's eyebrows.
Gao Mengtang smiled but said nothing. He was indeed worried, and it wasn't just about escaping.
But I feel strange.
An Ning used to strictly follow the rules and regulations, but she killed Dai Ying, so she felt guilty and blamed herself. This is normal, which shows that An Ning has a conscience.
But it was a bit abnormal that she allowed Dai Ying to become Dai Yinyin, allowed a monster transformed from Tong Xin Teng to stay in Block 13, and even attracted many Tong Xin Tengs.
An Ning could become the presiding judge, so she shouldn't be a sentimental and soft-hearted person. She let Tong Xinteng stay in the neighborhood and caused Tong Xinteng, just because she felt guilty about Dai Ying? Gao Mengtang thought he was a very conscientious person. If he was in An Ning's position, he would not do such a thing.
What else does she have a purpose for...
"Valkyrie..." Gao Mengtang murmured.
Duan Song: "What?"
Gao Mengtang: "Valkyrie. An Ning's ID card."
Soon, they reached the top floor and found the collection room.
Gao Mengtang: "The collection room is locked."
"Lock? What kind of lock?" Duan Song lifted his bangs, took a step forward and stood in front of Gao Mengtang, fiddling with the lock that looked antique and complicated in style.
"In my eyes, there are only two kinds of locks," Duan Song said as he fiddled with the lock. "One is the lock that I have already pried open, and the other is the lock that I have not yet pried open."
Click. The lock opened.
Duan Song raised his chin proudly, and Gao Mengtang clapped his hands in a particularly cooperative manner: "Awesome! Awesome!"
Song Zhong: “…”
Freesia: "Gege?"
"It's just so-so, just so-so." Duan Song enjoyed the supporting role very much.
The collection room is used to display some rare but not particularly important items. The security is not particularly strict and few people visit it. There is also a lot of garbage and sundries piled up in the corner.
The room was not big, but was filled with all kinds of items: crystals, skulls, magic circle manuscripts written on human skin, jars of eyeballs, and some plants soaked in transparent gelatinous liquid.
The room was particularly dim, and with every step I took on the old floor, the wood creaked under the weight, and clouds of dust rose from both sides of my soles.
I searched for several rounds but couldn't find the mother plant of Tongxin vine.
"Kuai Wei's information is wrong," Duan Song said, "I believe in my search ability. The mother plant of Tongxin vine is not here."
Song Zhong lay on the windowsill, poking half of his head out to look out tremblingly, as if there was a sniper opposite who would shoot him in the head at any time.
"We can't find it, so let's go quickly." Song Zhong's voice trembled, "More and more people are coming to the courtroom..."
"Look at this." Gao Mengtang dug out a half-meter-long cylindrical glass jar from the pile of junk. He rubbed his eyes and carefully identified the worn sign.
Tongxinteng·#% strains.
There are many scratches on the glass jar, and the word in the middle of the label is also covered by the scratches and cannot be recognized, but it is easy to guess that the small golden label says "Tongxin Teng Mother Plant".
The jar was opened and was now empty, with some clear mucus on the inner wall.
"The mother plant was stolen?" Duan Song said.
Gao Mengtang checked the jar and shook his head, "It doesn't look like it. Why steal the mother plant of Tongxinteng? Besides, if you steal something, you should take it all away. There's no reason to leave only one jar."
He threw the glass jar containing the mother plant of Tongxin vine into the bubble, and the three of them tore open the teleportation rift and returned to the alley again.
The four of them escaped safely along the route, leaving Block 13 and arriving at the wasteland outside the gray wall. Without the protection of the high wall, the air here seemed particularly cold, and the wind seemed to take away all the warmth from their bodies.
"Xiao Gao! Over here! Over here!" Zhang Qiyan ran over, waving his hands. "Are you in danger?"
"No," Gao Mengtang said, patting Song Zhong on the shoulder, "Thanks to the Collapser's teleportation rift, we were safe along the way."
Song Zhong had slumped his shoulders and shrunk his neck, looking around in a panic, looking very scared. When he heard Gao Mengtang's words, he was stunned for a few seconds, then he quickly raised his head and chest.
"Oh, really?" Zhang Qiyan glanced at Song Zhong, "You did a great job, you are worthy of being a member of Yuefan."
"It's my job and what I should do." Song Zhong nodded pretentiously.
The group walked towards the Black Prince Hospital.
Zhang Qiyan rubbed his hands and said, "It's so cold here. I feel cold even though my ID card is [909 Phoenix]."
A fire-type ID card like Zhang Qiyan has a built-in buff that protects against low temperatures. Zhang Qiyan is so strong that even if he is thrown into Antarctica wearing only short sleeves, he can survive a month without freezing to death.
She could feel the cold, something must be wrong here.
Gao Mengtang wrapped his cloak tightly, half of his face buried in his collar. He was very familiar with this strange low temperature, it was the temperature of the dead.
There are many dead souls around them, but they are invisible to human eyes.
"Duan Song, can you see the souls of the dead?" Gao Mengtang's teeth were chattering from the cold.
"I can only see living things," Duan Song took off his coat and put it on Gao Mengtang, even though he himself was pale from the cold. "Where is Wei Xiangchen? Where did he go?"
Wei Xiangchen is a ghost who can become invisible at any time and float around in the state of a soul, making him difficult to detect. Therefore, he is always wandering around in the dungeon.
He disappeared last night and no one knew where he went.
More than 20 people ran as hard as they could. The low temperature seemed to have frozen their blood and muscles. Every time they took a step, they felt a pulling and stabbing pain in their muscles.
Finally, they arrived at the Black Prince Hospital, lit the fireplace, and a group of people gathered around the fire to keep warm. The ghosts did not haunt them, and the temperature rose a little.
"It's half past one." Tu Cheng glanced at the clock. "What should we do next?"
Gao Mengtang put his hands next to the fire and said, "The rest depends on Wei Wei."
*
"Everyone, pay attention! The attack will begin in 20 minutes." An Ning's voice came from the intercom.
Wei Wei attached the magic circle on the back of his left hand and closed his eyes: "Where is Song Chenwu? Did he go to assassinate the bishop?"
"Well." He Lun said, combing the feathers of his wings with an air cushion comb, "Why did you let Song Chenwu take control of the Iron Lady?"
Wei Wei opened his eyes and slowly lit a cigarette: "Song Chenwu is like a fighting bull, he gets excited when he sees red. If you give him the capital to fight, he will sink into the killing until he is bloodthirsty."
"A belligerent bull has only one ending." The smoke exhaled by Wei Wei glowed a light blue in the moonlight, "being stabbed to death."
*
"Tsk, that's boring."
In the magnificent living room, Song Chenwu raised one foot and stepped on the bishop's belly.
Behind him, Bai Ke and Bai Qiqi looked at the dying bishop with pity, with cold smiles on their faces.
The bishop vomited blood: "Who are you? You are just Meng Fei's bodyguard, why..."
He wanted to ask why he had such a strong fighting ability, but before he could finish the second half of his sentence, Song Chenwu's leather shoes moved and stepped on the side of his face. With a click, his jaw was dislocated.
Song Chenwu stepped on the bishop's head, squatted down, gently took the bishop's left hand, and rolled up his sleeves elegantly: "This is the magic circle that controls the Iron Lady."
On the back of his left hand, there was a round moon orb pattern. The knife in Song Chenwu's hand turned several patterns, swishing -
The blade pierced the back of the bishop's hand.
"Ah——!" The bishop groaned, and blood oozed from his clenched teeth.
Screams and blood were the stimulants for Song Chenwu. He deliberately slowed down, and cut off the magic circle on the back of the bishop's left hand leisurely and calmly, just like cutting a steak in a high-end western restaurant, with the bones and flesh.
After doing all this, Song Chenwu sat on the sofa, holding the bloody mass of flesh and bones. The bishop covered his palm with a bloody hole and suppressed the cry of pain in his throat.
"Kill him, his screams will attract others." Bai Ke suggested.
"No hurry. Let him struggle for a while." Song Chenwu took off the Buddhist beads on his left wrist and placed them on the coffee table. "I haven't killed someone for fun in a long time. When I leave killing, it's like a drug addict losing his drug."
Bai Ke was madly complaining in his mind: violent maniac, pervert! But his expression remained calm.
Song Chenwu held the sharp knife in his right hand and pierced his left palm without hesitation, gouging out the flesh and bone in the middle, leaving a bloody hole the size of an egg.
Throughout the process, he did not show any pain, not even frowning. Song Chenwu took the piece of meat cut from the archbishop's left hand and placed it on the empty space of his left palm.
The magic circle lit up, and the joints made a sizzling sound. The blood vessels glowed and turned silvery white, as if mercury was flowing under the skin.
"Chief Song, how are you?" Bai Ke asked with concern.
"I won't die." Song Chenwu looked at his left hand. There was a dark red and black raised irregular scar at the joint, like cooled volcanic rock.
He pressed the magic circle and summoned the Iron Lady. Because of the incompatibility, when the magic circle was running, his entire left arm felt burning and painful, but it could still be run.
The dark gold Iron Lady stood quietly outside the window, her hands folded in front of her skirt. Song Chenwu looked at her through the window, raised the corner of his mouth and smiled: "Very good. Let's go grab two more Iron Ladies, where is the list?"
Bai Qiqi handed over the list with both hands, looking hesitant: "Chief Song, please be cautious. Transplanting a magic array is like transplanting an organ. The body will have a rejection reaction. This success was a stroke of luck. We may not be so lucky next time."
"Are you cursing me?" Song Chenwu glanced at him.
Bai Qiqi was so frightened that he trembled and lowered his head without saying a word. Seeing that he was so useless, Bai Ke was furious and kicked him secretly, with a smile on his face: "At this critical moment, we still have to be careful."
"If you have a good weapon, why don't you go and grab it? Are you keeping it as a burial object?" Song Chenwu disagreed, "Come with me, and find the next person who has control over the Iron Lady."
After walking out of the bishop's house, Song Chenwu raised his hand and looked at the magic circle on the back of his hand in fascination. He gently brushed the scar on the edge of the magic circle with his right hand holding the Buddhist beads: "This is a good opportunity to kill Wei Wei... I have been thinking about Wei Wei's life for a long time."
*
The vibrating alarm rang at two in the morning. Gao Mengtang turned off his phone and subconsciously looked towards the location of the old mansion.
At two o'clock in the morning, the Court of Justice will raid the Old Mansion.
The axe-chopping people didn't know what they were facing.
It was getting late, a few people were on guard, and the rest were sleeping on the floor in the lobby, snoring peacefully. Song Zhong was sleeping soundly, mumbling in his sleep: "The boss said that today was all thanks to me..."
Gao Mengtang: “…”
"Go to bed early." Gao Geng wanted to pull his brother into bed.
"I'm worried about Wei Wei." Gao Mengtang said.
Before Gao Geng could reply, Wei Xiangchen's voice came from the wall: "Worried about Wei Wei? You're right to be worried."
"What's wrong with Wei Wei?" Gao Mengtang turned around quickly.
"He's fine, for now," Wei Xiangchen came through the wall, flipping through his classical dress, and rummaging through the bags inside. Some crystals, bones, and ancient magical instruments fell out, making tinkling sounds.
After searching for a long time, Wei Xiangchen actually took out... a mobile phone.
Gao Mengtang: "Do you still have a cell phone?"
"I'm just dead, not a fool," Wei Xiangchen looked at Gao Mengtang strangely. Like most elderly people, he kept a distance between his eyes and the screen, aimed a finger at the screen and clicked hard.
He slowly found a few videos and said, "Please take a look."
In the video, Bai Ke used the skill [Horror Guardian], and black raindrops dissolved all attacks. Song Chenwu brought two iron maidens to crush the lower body of a man in the Judgment Hall uniform. The man screamed and crawled on the ground with his bloody fingers.
Song Chenwu directly grabbed his left hand, dug out the magic circle on the back of his hand, and transplanted it to his own arm.
There were already three identical magic circles on Song Chenwu's left arm. The edges of the wounds were raised and black, looking hideous and terrifying.
"Leader Ghost Bamboo has gained control of the six Iron Ladies." Wei Xiangchen shook his head repeatedly, "He is a butcher who enjoys killing people. If he gains power, all players will be threatened."
The player closest to Song Chenwu is Wei Wei.
Although this was Wei Wei's arrangement, it was still worrying to have a violent maniac lurking around.
"There is also this video." Wei Xiangchen flipped through the album again.
"Who did it?" An Ning stood in front of the three bodies of the bishop, the chief of the weapons department, and the chief of the medical department. A big hole was dug on the left hand of each body. An Ning's expression was gloomy. Behind her stood Wei Wei and other staff members of the trial hall.
Everyone lowered their brows and heads and did not answer.
An Ning: “Go check.”
"Yes." Assistant Wu Yang took everyone away, but Wei Wei hadn't left yet.
"Your Honor, should we first take back control of the Iron Lady?" Wei Wei asked.
"No hurry." An Ning stared at the three corpses with a chilling look, "You go first."
The magic circle controlling the Iron Lady was taken away by someone. An Ning's first reaction was not to quickly take back control? Gao Mengtang was surprised. He pulled the progress bar and went back a few minutes.
The other judgement hall staff in the room also looked confused. When Wei Wei asked the question, he couldn't hide the surprise in his eyes.
It seems that many people have noticed this anomaly.
After Wei Wei left, only An Ning was left in the room... and Wei Xiangchen who was taking secret photos.
An Ning first drew the curtains, locked the door, and set up a closed magic circle to prevent any sound from escaping. Then, she walked around the corpse with a strange expression.
After walking a few circles, An Ning stopped, and as if she had made up her mind, she put her palms together, slowly opened them, and a burning flame appeared between her hands.
The red light instantly engulfed An Ning, and the fluttering hem of her windbreaker turned into armor. She reached directly into the fireball burning in the air and pulled out a giant sword.
When she transformed, An Ning was chanting something, but because of the drastic change in the energy field, the video was distorted. Sometimes it was a string of garbled characters, and sometimes it was a piece of noise, and it was impossible to hear what she was saying.
When the screen returned to normal, An Ning was wearing armor and holding a giant sword. With a flash of cold light, the giant sword cut off a piece of the bishop's flesh and blood, which hung tremblingly on the giant sword.
An Ning looked at the piece of meat for a moment, sniffed it gently, and actually ate it raw!
Gao Mengtang opened his eyes wide: "What is this for!"
"It's even weirder." Wei Xiangchen slid to the next video. An Ning was lying on the ground, devouring the three corpses voraciously. Only three piles of bones were left on the carpet.
She ate all three bodies!
Xiao Canglan was greedy and grabbed Gao Mengtang's sleeve and shook him back and forth: "Princess, princess!"
"Why does An Ning want to eat human flesh?!" Gao Mengtang was shocked, "These are all her subordinates!"
Wei Xiangchen shrugged: "I don't know. I turned into a ghost and wandered around the Sakura District. Who would have thought that I would see such a shocking scene."
Gao Geng had been watching quietly at the side, and suddenly said, "Valkyrie, the war god who gluttons for corpses. Bless me, gnaw on death and plant new life."
"What?" Wei Xiangchen asked.
"This is what An Ning recited before she used her skills." Gao Geng said, "That time when we were cleaning the sewers and encountered monster invasion, An Ning came to support us. She recited this sentence before she used her skills."
"That was seven days ago, um, ten days ago?" Wei Xiangchen picked at his fingers, "You still remember something that happened so long ago?"
"Computers are better than human brains." Gao Geng rubbed the temple on his left brain, and the surrounding blood vessels glowed blue.
Eating corpses... chewing on death and planting new life... Gao Mengtang was swiping his phone. Suddenly, he raised his head abruptly: "No, there is something wrong with these magic arrays! Take me to find Wei Wei!"
