Chapter 221 Scavenger (17) Decomposition Task 3
It's not that easy to run away. The speed of caesarean section cannot be said to be very fast, it can only be said to be like teleportation. He Luo sprinted at full speed. Yin Mingwu used the [Soul Out of Body] effect to restrict the movement of monsters, but in just a blink of an eye, they caught up with them again, twisted their long necks, and smashed their heads towards them.
Gao Mengtang and Yin Mingwu were small and flexible, and it was difficult for them to dodge He Luo's huge body. Five minutes later, all ten of its tentacles were chopped off, leaving only its head swimming in the water.
"Just grab something to cover yourself!" Yin Mingwu shouted, "They can only cause harm to lives!"
He blocked an attack with an empty glass bottle of restorative agent, then swung the bottle hard at the heads of the people who had been disemboweled, and hit them on the head with his crutch in his other hand.
There were only two of them and a clawless octopus, and dozens of people were dissected. During the escape, Yin Mingwu had one of his legs sawed off, a half-meter-long wound appeared on his back, and two of his fingers were lost.
Gao Mengtang is still intact.
"Damn it, why don't they attack you?" Yin Mingwu cursed.
Gao Mengtang didn't know either. The person who performed the cesarean section seemed... to be unable to see him at all.
From the perspective of the person performing the cesarean section, the world is only black and white. The white is like a diamond, crystal clear and shining. The black is like mud, sticky and thick, moving slowly one square at a time.
In the eyes of the person performing the caesarean section, Gao Mengtang's body, the surrounding water, the rocks on the seabed, and the sunken ship were all glowing diamonds. Only Yin Mingwu was black.
They will only attack black objects.
In the encirclement of the caesarean sectionmen, Gao Mengtang stopped fighting back. The caesarean sectionmen passed him by without paying any attention to him, and all their attention rushed towards Yin Mingwu.
"Have you done too many evil things and this is your retribution?" Gao Mengtang was surprised.
Yin Mingwu held up a piece of rag to cover his head: "I'm not in the mood to joke with you now!"
Gao Mengtang hesitated, as if to verify, and stretched out his arm to block the saw wheel of the cesarean section.
"Ding——" The water carried the sound far away. The saw wheel was spinning rapidly in front of Gao Mengtang's eyes. He didn't feel any pain at all, but his skin was a little itchy.
His face changed, he clenched his fist, aimed at the two connected eyes of the man who had his caesarean section, and punched hard -
The person who had his caesarean section twitched violently for a while, and covered his eyes with his thin arms. In just a few seconds, he turned into a corpse.
However, this person had no eyes, and where the eyeballs should be was covered by a flesh-colored film. The body slowly sank into the deep sea.
"Attack the face of the person who is disemboweling the patient," Gao Mengtang said, "the side with the eyes!"
The caesarean man looked like a flounder, with an axially symmetrical body and eyes on only one side of the axis of symmetry. Yin Mingwu did as he was told and stabbed him hard with his cane.
But it didn't work.
Yin Mingwu had another hand sawed off.
"Fuck! Wei Wei!" Yin Mingwu covered his broken arm, and a cloud of blood mist spread out.
Since the people who had their caesarean sections cut open could not cause any harm to Gao Mengtang, and Gao Mengtang could still kill them with one punch, there was nothing to worry about. He grabbed those long and soft necks, shone the light into their eyes, and hit them one by one.
In less than 10 minutes, dozens of people who had been disemboweled turned into faceless corpses, floating and sinking like fallen flowers.
There was dark green blood on He Luo's broken arms and legs. Yin Mingwu used one hand to bandage his severed calf.
"Lao Kui, can you strike first next time?" Yin Mingwu said unhappily, "Do you have to wait until I'm seriously injured before you come like a savior?"
"What? I still don't understand what happened." Gao Mengtang muttered dissatisfiedly.
They swam to a deserted coast around 2pm, stole a car nearby and drove back.
"Old Kui," Yin Mingwu said seriously, "I have a favor to ask of you. Please don't tell anyone about my abnormality."
The "abnormal" in this sentence undoubtedly refers to Yin Mingwu's physical condition getting worse and his mental resistance getting weaker. Gao Mengtang couldn't help but be curious: "Are you sick?"
"Almost," Yin Mingwu emphasized again, "Don't tell anyone."
"good."
*
the next day.
"What? All the caesarians are dead?" Lei Gong jumped three feet high, "We still can't find a way to kill them, how did they die?!"
The staff member was also confused. He showed the tablet: "I don't know, but the control terminal shows that 36 people who were disemboweled are all dead. The traitor soul divider is still alive and not dead."
"How did he die..." Lei Gong looked at the bright red word "death" and couldn't believe it. He kept rubbing his eyes, "Something's wrong...something's wrong...Chen Yuan, this brat."
The Cesarean Man is Chen Yuan's research project. He is so talented that it only took him two years to create this horrific killing machine. So far, no one has been able to escape the Cesarean Man's pursuit.
However, Chen Yuan is very smart, but a little stupid. These two contradictory characteristics exist in him at the same time: he captured more than 200 high school and college classmates for human experiments!
In "evil" laboratories like Tanhualing, human experiments are commonplace, but they tacitly only capture homeless people, missing persons, and people without relatives, and if they accidentally kill them, they don't have to spend a lot of effort to conceal the fact.
But Chen Yuan studied in a key high school, and her university was the top 1 Zhongzhou University. These students were the apples of their parents' eyes, and when their beloved children disappeared, the parents almost broke the sky.
If Hei Yankai had not tried his best to save Chen Yuan, Chen Yuan would have been a death row prisoner now.
After the incident became a big deal, Hei Yankai handed over the completed project to Lei Gong and asked him to control these caesarean section people. Chen Yuan was still very dissatisfied. This was how the initial conflict between the two people was formed.
The man who had his caesarean section performed was Lei Gong's "adopted child". Chen Yuan did not tell him many details, and Lei Gong did not know either. He also did not know under what circumstances the man who had his caesarean section performed would die.
"Don't worry about how the people who were disemboweled died, they are all dead anyway," said Lei Gong. "If my adoptive father knew that all the people who were disemboweled died, he would definitely scold me. The death of a person is a small matter, but losing his favor is a big matter."
More than 200 students were used in the experiment, more than half died, and more than 30 were successfully transformed into caesarean sections. Hei Yankai thought that if he could save as many as possible, he would save them, and he wanted to find a way to restore them to human form.
The person died after cesarean section, which is a very troublesome matter.
After thinking for a moment, Lei Gong said, "Call the scavengers over. I want to see them."
*
"If we light a corpse oil candle, we can see the ghost ship?" Heren fiddled with the yellow oil candle in his hand. His fingers were sticky, so he wiped his hands with the tablecloth.
After Gao Mengtang came back, he immediately told his companions about his experience under the sea.
Most people have a strong interest in ghost ships, except Wei Wei, who seems indifferent to everything except money; except Tu Cheng, who used to be a pirate and has heard the legend of ghost ships so many times that his ears are callused.
There are twelve corpse oil candles in total, one for each player.
"Yin Mingwu wanted to go to the ghost ship. When he said goodbye, he told me that we could also go to the ghost ship to take a look, and then he gave me these seven candles." Gao Mengtang was halfway through his words when he suddenly felt his body light, and the countdown in his sight returned to zero.
After the body swap was over and I came to my senses, I saw Wei Wei sitting across the table, frowning and fiddling with the corpse oil candle.
As soon as Wei Wei finished his prison term, he lit his pipe and took a long puff.
When Gao Mengtang controlled Wei Wei's body, he used disguise to cover up the wound. When they swapped bodies, Wei Wei didn't know about the scar yet and didn't use disguise.
Wisps of white smoke rose, and the scar on Wei Wei's left cheek gradually emerged.
"What's wrong with your face?" Wo Lanbei was sitting on Wei Wei's left and noticed it first.
Wei Wei raised his hand and wiped it, and his smooth skin became scarred. He looked in the mirror and found a scar on his left cheek corroded by the blood of death.
"Yes, I'm sorry..." Gao Mengtang lowered his head, "I'm sorry for hurting you... This is a wound left by the Dead Born, I don't know if it can be healed..."
The scars covered the entire left side of his face, making him look quite ferocious. Wei Wei's appearance was seductive yet cold, and he looked like a villain, but no one would say he was ugly.
The scar was firmly on his face, and when he made expressions, the entire left side of his face looked a little stiff. He looked in the mirror, raised his pipe and took another puff of smoke. The other players turned their eyes away from Wei Wei's face and stared at the table.
Originally, when Wei Wei smoked, he looked lazy, like a decadent and noble master, lying in his golden and jade land. Now... only the right side of his mouth could be fully opened, like a ferocious Yaksha sucking souls.
The words "wounds left by the Deathborn" were like a heavy hammer. The players of the Black Tower knew how terrifying the Deathborn were, and the wounds they left behind were almost impossible to heal.
"Wei, Mr. Wei," He Lun said tremblingly, for he was afraid that Wei Wei and Gao Mengtang would quarrel, "Brother Mengtang didn't mean it..."
The enemy rabbit changed into human form, held up Wei Wei's face and looked at him: "Good fellow, you are almost the same as me." Half of his face turned blood red, and his silver hair fell out. "I am here with you, don't be sad."
"Yes, Squidward," Pegana rubbed Wei Wei's arm with his fur, "please stop quarreling."
They were trying to persuade each other one by one. Tu Cheng patted Wei Wei's shoulder and said nothing. Wo Lanbei didn't say a word from beginning to end.
Wei Wei looked away from the mirror and looked at them, then smiled: "I can castrate myself. Now, it's just a scar on my face. Why should I care about it?"
He Lun suddenly relaxed: "Really? You are really not angry?"
"I'm not angry." Wei Wei's tone was calm. "It's time for dinner. I've been a vegetarian for two days, and today I can finally eat meat. Let's go eat first."
The huge rock pressing on everyone's head suddenly dissipated. He Lun and Bai Jie smiled with relief and made preparations to go for teppanyaki.
Half of the dishes were grilled octopus, which made He Luo very unhappy.
After having a good meal and a few drinks, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening when Wei Wei returned to the Wuyun Base. He changed into pajamas and washed his face.
One hand stopped at the scar, and the fingernails dug into the raised scar.
"【101 Nine Thousand Years Old】" the system's voice suddenly sounded beside my ears, "Are you really as indifferent as you appear?"
"You knew that the shipwreck was fraught with danger, but you still took the risk with your body. Now, you have been left with this indelible scar."
"Everyone in Yuefan avoids the important issues and protects the blind man. They comfort you only because they are afraid that you will quarrel with the blind man. That's all."
Wei Wei stopped washing his face, looked up, and saw the face in the mirror that frightened him.
He tried to smile, but the left side of his face was completely frozen, and the disguise technique slowly healed the wound...
"I know what every player in the dungeon is thinking," the system said in a tone as flat as a bowl of boiled water. "[099 Broken Wing Knight] was just thinking: If it was Brother Meng Tang who was disfigured, I... I... I would definitely cry my eyes out."
"【374 Thief】is thinking: Will Wei Wei start fighting? If they really start fighting, I will help the boss, but isn't it unfair to Wei Wei..."
Wei Wei's expression quickly turned cold, he stopped using disguise, and the scar on his left face reappeared, like solidified hellfire.
"And you're thinking..." Every word of the system was like a scalpel, coldly cutting through the flesh, "I can't quarrel with Gao Mengtang at this time. No one will help me."
The five fingers that were pressed on the sink suddenly clenched, and Wei Wei clenched his back teeth and said, "Shut up."
System: "You see things clearly and make wise choices—"
"Shut up and stop stirring up trouble here."
"——Since you can see clearly, make another wise choice," the system continued, "You are the one chosen by the Eleventh Wise King, the final winner."
"We are looking forward to you becoming the fourteenth wise king."
The system's voice disappeared, and Wei Wei just looked at himself in the mirror until there was a knock on the bathroom door.
"Thunder God wants to see you, hurry over." said the driver.
"I understand." When Wei Wei turned around, his face had returned to normal.
*
"There's a traitor among my scavengers." Lei Gong leaned back in a high-backed chair. His thin body was extremely inconsistent with the wide chair.
Excluding Yin Mingwu, the remaining 11 players stood in a row in front of Lei Gong and lowered their heads in unison.
"In order to prevent such things from happening again..." Lei Gong moved very quickly. His arm rested on the armrest and it seemed that he just shook slightly, followed by a "sizzling" sound of electric current.
"I'm giving you a warning. If you find a traitor again and don't report it, this will be the consequence," said Lei Gong.
Everyone was wondering what nonsense he was talking about, when all the players heard the system prompt: "Player [120 Divine Doctor] has died."
Turning around, I saw that the miracle doctor was still standing, but his eyes were wide open, his mouth was half open, his whole body was stretched straight, he swayed twice, and then fell backwards.
The ghoul was furious: "What did you do?!"
"High voltage electricity." Lei Gong smiled. "Slaughterhouses use high voltage electricity to end the lives of livestock. It's fast, causes little pain, and is so merciful."
The farmer's legs went weak and he fell to his knees, tightly grasping Wei Wei's hand: "Save him, please, save him!"
"What's the point of begging him? Can he heal the dead and bring the bones back to life?" Lei Gong put on the arrogant attitude of a superior, looking like a naughty monkey from Mount Emei, "Why not beg me? I can still spare your lives."
Wei Wei looked at the farmer who was crying and didn't intend to pay attention to him. Hei Ou had lost one person, and he didn't have time to celebrate. Somehow, he suddenly thought of Gao Mengtang.
If Gao Mengtang knew the art of resurrection, he would definitely save the miracle doctor's life.
It is precisely because of Gao Mengtang's kindness and softness that others like him and are willing to get close to him. Who is willing to open their hearts and embrace Bingci?
Put yourself in their shoes. If he were He Lun or Bai Jie, he would also like Gao Mengtang more.
Gao Mengtang is more beautiful, stronger, and kinder. His pure and bright smile reminds people of the morning breeze that brings the fragrance of flowers, or the sparrows jumping around in the warm winter sun.
My liking for him is natural and without any personal feelings. It is an instinctive reaction and a conditioned reflex.
Looking at the crying farmer and the zombie again, Wei Wei was suddenly moved.
Gao Mengtang glanced at Wei Wei. The three of them had given all their resurrection coins to Yin Mingwu, so they couldn't help the doctor. But for Wei Wei, resurrecting a person who had just died was not a big deal.
He said nothing. Wei Wei had just been disfigured and was in a bad mood. It would be too difficult for him to be forced to help at this time.
After a few seconds of silence, Wei Wei squatted down, stroked the doctor's forehead with his palm, and helped him close his eyes. A mass of matter that looked like both water and air gathered between his fingers. It was the doctor's soul.
The farmer stopped crying and held Wei Wei's hand tightly.
The soul was entangled by He Luo's tentacles in the sleeves. Lei Gong did not notice Wei Wei's little action and was still cursing the rebel.
"Are you imitating the blind, Nine Thousand Year Old?" The system's voice was particularly harsh at this moment. Wei Wei could actually hear a hint of sarcasm in its tone that had remained unchanged for thousands of years.
"How pathetic, becoming the shadow of a blind man... haha." The system actually chuckled, "You are a beta test player, your ID card has evolved to the highest level, you have developed your own resurrection technique, and you are proficient in the language of the other world... You are much smarter than him, why are you imitating him?"
"Since you can see clearly, please choose the right way. The signs are so obvious... Don't be stupid again."
Wei Wei clenched his fists tightly, his fingers entangled with He Luo's tentacles.
After Lei Gong finished cursing and venting his anger, he drank a sip of tea and then got down to business: "Now, the person who had the cesarean section is dead. My godfather will find out sooner or later. I will pour this basin of dirty water on Chen Yuan's head. You have a new task."
"Hide the 'evidence' near Chen Yuan and create the illusion that he killed all the people who performed caesarean section." Lei Gong said, "It's winter vacation now, but Chen Yuan participated in an exchange program and stayed in school during the winter vacation. I will find a way to place you in that university."
Taskbar Updates:
[Decomposition Task 3: Frame Chen Yuan]
After accepting the new mission, the 10 players returned to their rooms. The ghoul begged for mercy and dragged the body of the miracle doctor back to the bedroom.
"Please save him, Your Majesty!" The two men knelt down in front of Wei Wei.
Wei Wei placed one hand on the miracle doctor's mouth, and his soul entered his throat. After a moment, the miracle doctor's body twitched, and his skin and flesh seemed to dissolve, and his whole body quickly deformed.
30 seconds later, he turned into a little boy less than 1.5 meters tall, still wearing an adult white coat. He sat up and said, "I'm alive? I'm alive!"
"The side effect of the resurrection spell is that you will become a different person within three days." Wei Wei said expressionlessly, "You cannot use skills or items during this period."
The three were so grateful that they cried until the carpet was wet. Wei Wei finally sent them away and lay on the bed to rest for a while.
Gao Mengtang wanted to talk to him, but seeing that Wei Wei looked a little tired, he did not speak. Suddenly, his cell phone rang.
After the body swap, they took each other's mobile phones. After the body swap, they did not return the mobile phones. Gao Mengtang still took Wei Wei's mobile phone, and Yin Mingwu sent him a message.
: Lao Wei, if I don’t send you a message, you will ignore me?
: How is the scar on your face? Is there any way to cure it?
: The ghost ship captain [Black Merchant] may have a way. [Black Merchant], if you pay a price, you can get a commodity, which can be the answer to the question or the wish come true. The premise is "pay a price", so I still suggest you don't go.
Gao Mengtang's eyes moved, and he replied with an emoticon of "thank you", and quietly deleted the conversation on his phone.
