Chapter 116: Disappearing into the Darkness
"This guy named Yang is so despicable!" Lou Su said in Chu Xihen's ear.
Chu Xihen was puzzled and looked at him with raised eyebrows, "What's the matter?"
"He deliberately found this excuse to occupy the last room!" There are only two rooms in this house, one for the drunkard and one for the female college student.
The female college student's room was occupied by He Jia and Meng Xinyi, and the remaining drunkard's room was now occupied by Yang Yichen.
Chu Xihen chuckled and said, "If you feel sleepy, just lean on me and sleep. I'll be on guard tonight."
Lou Suo had a very poor sleep these days. He was always flying in the sky with the big white tiger transformed by Ling Yao, so he almost didn't sleep at all.
"Okay." After saying that, Lou Su fell into Chu Xihen's arms, found a comfortable position and closed his eyes.
There were waste paper boxes piled up behind Chu Xihen, so he could lean against them.
"You guys should take a rest too. I'll watch over you, so nothing will happen." Chu Xihen said to the other three.
Jin Bowen said politely: "Thank you, Brother Chu, you have worked hard."
The young girl Chu Xishi didn't need to rest because Loli Chu Xishi was resting for her, so she held her head up and stared at Ling Yao beside her.
Ling Yao wanted to sleep, but there was a sight that he couldn't ignore. How could he sleep?
"I, I'll go out and take a look!" Ling Yao stood up and walked out of the messy living room.
When he said go out, he just meant walk under the eaves. He knew he couldn't leave the house.
Chu Xihen saw him sitting under the eaves, then he turned his head to look at Chu Xichen, "Why do you always tease him for no reason? Don't tell me you like him."
"No, I just think he's funny. Even when he turns into a human kitten, he's still very cute." Chu Xi smiled slyly.
"Then don't do anything that will cause him to misunderstand." Chu Xihen reminded.
Chu Xixi said with regret: "Okay, I will listen to my brother and treat him as a man instead of a kitten from now on."
After she finished speaking, her expression became serious. "Brother, don't let Xiao Xie break through her potential again. She used it twice when she bombed the research institute. Today is the third time. She has no chance."
Even though Loli Chu Xichi was restricted by the system during the day, she was still able to unleash her potential and beat the drunk to death. This was because her body had been transformed in the research institute and she had three chances to adjust her body functions to the limits of the human body.
However, this will cause great harm to the body. Everyone only has three chances. If you want to break through the limits of your body again, you will have to burn your life.
"I've made note of it." Chu Xihen said.
While the brother and sister were talking, neither of them noticed that Lou Su's fingers on his legs moved slightly.
At this moment Lingyao, who was sitting under the eaves, suddenly screamed and jumped up from the ground.
Lou Su also sat up, and the three of them quickly got up and went out to look for Ling Yao.
Ling Yao raised his right hand. Half of his index finger was missing, but before the wound had time to bleed, it began to heal and then a new finger grew out.
"Brother Chu, I was just curious so I stretched out my finger, and then the finger was swallowed by the darkness and disappeared..." Ling Yao was still a little scared.
Chu Xihen was so angry that he laughed, "Why don't you stick your head out and try it?"
Lou Su picked up a drink bottle from the side and reached out. The half of the bottle quickly disappeared into the darkness. When he took the bottle back, only half was left in his hand.
"In the darkness outside, have the streets we walked on today, the houses we saw, and the villagers all disappeared?" Yang Yichen and the others were also startled by Ling Yao's cry. When they came out, they saw Lou Su doing experiments with drink bottles. They knew what had just happened without asking.
"You're fast, why don't you go out and take a look?" Ling Ji said to him with a resentful look on his face.
Yang Yichen stared at him, "Don't you know whether I'm fast or not?"
"Fuck you, I really want to push you out!" Ling Ji cursed with gritted teeth.
——
"It turns out... if you go into darkness, your body will... disappear." Chen Zeyi, with his lower body missing, lay on the ground, blood gushing from his mouth, as he whispered to Jiang Zang and the others.
Jiang Zang had a dark face and was full of curse words to say, but he couldn't utter a single word in front of Chen Zeyi's miserable face.
Xu Man is desperately using her healing powers to maintain Chen Zeyi's vital signs.
Just now, Chen Zeyi once again stepped into the darkness without Jiang Lu's instructions. If Xu Man had not reacted quickly and pulled his upper body back with vines, he would have been completely melted by the darkness.
"Sister Man, no, don't waste your energy. I... I'm already beyond saving. It will be more dangerous if you continue. I need your supernatural powers. I... I deserve this. I didn't listen to the captain. Just let me die..." Chen Zeyi spoke to Xu Man with difficulty.
Chen Zeyi was right. His body below the belly had disappeared, and blood was all over the floor. Xu Man's mental power was only able to temporarily delay his death, but she was unable to restore the internal organs that had already disappeared.
"Stop it, Xu Man." Jiang Zang gave the order with difficulty.
After such a short while, cold sweat broke out on Xu Man's face due to excessive consumption of mental energy.
As soon as she stopped using her supernatural power, Chen Zeyi started trembling, blood kept coming out of his mouth, and then he closed his eyes and died.
Jiang Zang raised his hand to help him close his eyes and sat down beside him.
Everyone else was silent. Wang Qinghe, a fat man from another team, hid far away, wishing he could disappear from this space.
It's a pity that this so-called B&B doesn't even have a room for them to rest, only a living room for them to stay.
"It seems that our team is not suitable for having a fifth person. Captain, let's not recruit new members in the future. This position feels unlucky." Hu Yaoyao broke the silence.
Jiang Lu echoed, "Yes, Zhao Feng was killed by the boss before, and now Chen Zeyi is gone."
"Brother Lu, please be more serious. It was five of us who surrounded a single leader, and we were killed in the end." Hu Yaoyao said, "Chen Zeyi's personality is quite similar to Zhao Feng's. Neither of them likes to be ordered around."
If Zhao Feng had followed orders when they surrounded and killed Chu Xihen, they might not have completed the mission, but they would not have suffered such a terrible defeat.
Jiang Zang, who usually talks the most, was silent at this time. He kept staring at the red task panel with a sullen face and said nothing.
Xu Man walked over to him and sat down, gently taking his hand. "Don't blame yourself. Haven't you seen this kind of thing often?"
Whether it was their own teammates or other people's teammates, this kind of life and death separation scene has been played out in front of them since the day they were pulled into the game.
If you watch it many times, you will get used to it.
"No, I just think the red task panel looks good." Jiang Zang said stubbornly.
In fact, he agreed to let Chen Zeyi join the team because he saw that he was a bit like the late Zhao Feng. It was originally out of nostalgia for his old teammate, but in the end he ended up harming the young man.
"Shit! I just noticed that our mission panel is red. Does that mean the boss is also in this copy?" Jiang Zang's reflexes took him three circles around the earth before he finally realized the problem.
Hearing what he said, the other three teammates rolled their eyes.
Xu Man shook off his hand in disgust, "Put your brain out in the dark, I've had enough!"
