Chapter 97
When his intuition reminded Yu Tu that "there is danger ahead", Yu Tu was struggling with whether to take a detour. Because judging by the frequency of his troubles, his luck... is a little hard to say.
But what he never expected was that at this moment when he was struggling, a... zombie ran out from the darkness in front of him?!
In an instant, Yu Tu's feet took root in the place where he was.
After the shock of the moment passed, he looked carefully and realized that it didn't seem to be a zombie, but a bloody person.
Well... let's call them people.
But he swore that in all the years he had lived in the surface world, he had never seen anyone who could be so alive and well with huge wounds of varying degrees all over his body.
This bloody man may have reached his limit. When he ran into the range of the candlelight, the only thing he could do was to shout for help.
The original intention of taking the unmonitored path to the hospital was to save energy, but after seeing the scene in front of me—the energy used to save people is higher than opening a shielding field!
Yu Tu felt heartbroken but also a little relieved. Fortunately, he took this deserted path where almost no one walked today, otherwise the man coming down the mountain would have died.
Green vines broke out of the ground and wrapped around the huge monster that attacked from the darkness behind the person who was fleeing. As the metalized vines pierced its head with some effort, Yu Tu heard a sharp sound like a baby crying, as well as a familiar yet unfamiliar energy fluctuation.
It is familiar because the fluctuations of the monster that attacks people before its death seem to come from the same system as Xiao Hui. It is unfamiliar because their fluctuations are completely different.
Most importantly, this monster is very weak, as if something weakened it not long ago.
The green vine wrapped around the dead monster and smashed it to the ground. Yu Tu finally saw the full appearance of the monster—it was nearly two meters tall and looked like a cow, but its head was much larger than that of an ordinary cow, and its green fur was tinged with an unknown dark red.
Thanks to his crazy supplementation of ancient books in the past few months, Yu Tu found the description that was closest to its origin at a glance:
[There is a beast that looks like an ox, has a thick body, and makes sounds like a baby. It eats people and its name is Xiqu.]
One of the exotic beasts in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
Yu Tu: “…”
If you say this man is lucky, he has provoked a creature that is suspected to be a strange beast from "Classic of Mountains and Seas". If you say he is unlucky, he can still survive from the mouth of such a creature.
It's hard to comment, really.
Shocked, Yu Tu shifted his gaze from the monster to the unlucky guy and asked sincerely, "Are you okay?"
The man lying on the ground seemed to be stunned for unknown reasons. Yu Tu saw him staring at him as if he was about to say something, but the next second, he closed his eyes, tilted his head, and fainted.
Yu Tu: “…”
Yu Tu was numb.
You should at least explain something before you get dizzy!
The person who asked for help fainted, but left Yu Tu with a difficult problem—
Should he send the man to the hospital or take him back to the teahouse?
If he was sent to the hospital, it would be difficult to explain the wounds on his body that looked like they were bitten by a large beast, and the hospitals in the surface world might not be able to treat the injuries caused by the creatures in the inner world; if he was taken back to the teahouse, he was a half-baked person himself, and was afraid that if he did not treat the injuries properly, he would leave any sequelae.
But this thought only flashed through Yu Tu's mind for a few breaths, because the life condition of the person in front of him really could not be delayed.
Yu Tu first used a bit of his energy to stabilize the man's life state so that he would not die immediately, then he brought him back to the teahouse, quickly made a cup of tea, and forced the unlucky man to drink half a cup by praying his teeth.
There was no other way. Yu Tu himself was still in the exploratory stage of applying energy, and he didn't dare to conduct experiments directly on humans. He could only use tea as a guide to establish a good relationship, at least to provide some insurance.
With the help of the contract of good karma, Yu Tu learned why this unlucky guy who had offended the suspected Xiqu was able to escape alive and well even though he was covered in blood - because he was a fully yang body.
In movies and TV dramas, there are often pure yin bodies or pure yang bodies, and many times these two bodies are set to attract ghosts and ward off evil spirits. When Yu Tu came into contact with the inner world, he found that some things in movies and TV dramas were not nonsense.
A person's eight characters are made up of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches. Taking the pure Yang body as an example, if a person has five consecutive characters or the interval between them is no more than three and they are all Yang, then he is a pure Yang body.
As people with a completely yang constitution, their flesh and blood are the best material. Although it is not to the extent that the evil spirits will be driven away as soon as their blood is spilled, it does have a certain restraining effect on the existence of the two major types of evil spirits, namely "ghosts" and "monsters".
In short, if a pure yang person is mixed into a team that is doomed to die, he will most likely be the last to die. This is because he tastes the worst in the perception of evil spirits, but if you endure this terrible taste, you can still eat it.
The Xiqu that was chasing him was already in a weak state, and he didn't know where he got infected with an extremely uncomfortable "qi". This "qi" happened to be within the restraint range of the full yang body, so every time Xiqu bit him, he would suffer minor injuries. If he bit too many times, a temporary weakening buff would be formed, which gave the unlucky guy who was being chased a chance to escape.
But the weak monster with negative buffs is not so easy to deal with. If there is any mistake, he will not be able to wait for Yu Tu to save him.
When Yu Tu finished feeding the man tea and sprinkling medicine powder on the wound, Xiao Hui was circling around his feet. He lowered his head to sniff the blood of the unlucky guy on the ground, then turned his head and sneezed several times in a row.
Good!
The taste is a bit like the spicy dog food he ate some time ago!
Yu Tu used one of his free hands to rub Xiao Hui's head: "Go play somewhere else, leave this to me."
Pure yang blood does have a pungent smell to a yin-based alien beast. Xiao Hui also has the blood of Taowu and Hou...
Yu Tu suddenly turned around and stared at Xiao Hui, saying sternly: "No matter what, you can't steal his blood!"
Xiao Hui, who had just sneezed, said: "......?"
This person's blood just smells like spicy dog food, but I don't want to taste it, it's dirty! It doesn't taste good at all!
"Woof woof woof!"
Only people without taste eat human flesh. I don't eat human flesh!
Yu Tu: "...If you eat people secretly, I won't let you stay. I will kill my own relatives for the sake of justice!"
Xiao Hui: “Woof!”
I'm just giving an example!
While the man and the dog were discussing the topic of cannibalism, the unlucky guy, who was lying on the ground covered in blood, flicked his fingers and opened his eyes with great difficulty.
*
Wei Ziming was half asleep and half awake when he heard the sound of "Woof woof woof" that seemed to be near and far. Although he did not understand dog language, he could vaguely understand that the dog's tone seemed to be a little... dissatisfied?
As soon as the "weird and interesting" thought came into his mind, he suddenly remembered that he was in the wilderness, and an unknown monster was chasing him, but he was fortunately rescued at the critical moment... He had no recollection of what happened after that.
Wei Ziming: “!!!”
His strong desire to survive prompted him to struggle desperately. With his efforts, he finally regained control of his body, but severe pain followed, making him scream in pain.
Why does it hurt so much?
Yu Tu looked at the man who seemed to have turned several times clockwise and counterclockwise on the face of a clock, and silently swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth. He and Xiao Hui, who jumped aside in fear, exchanged a glance.
How about...let him go for a while?
So they watched Wei Ziming spinning around on the ground in silence.
After Wei Ziming finally got used to the severe pain, he realized that the room was not empty, but he was in so much pain that he didn't notice it at all.
Wei Ziming: “…”
The deep red filled the gaps between the bandages, and even if one couldn't see the face of the man who was almost wrapped like a mummy, one could feel his embarrassment.
Wei Mummy Ziming said in a voice as soft as a mosquito: "Thank you for saving me..."
What he just did almost made him lose all his face for the rest of his life!
Although he had fantasized about the existence of evil forces in the world when he was in junior high school, he was chosen as the savior, and from then on he upheld justice, saved the people from danger, and became the most awesome hero and the most dazzling protagonist in the world!
When he was imagining things, he could even laugh out loud, but he never thought that after graduating from college, he would start live streaming, and one day his middle school fantasy would come true. He is not the most powerful hero or the most dazzling protagonist, but a cannon fodder who seems to be killed at the beginning of the story.
Wei Ziming's face was filled with tears.
The predecessors who did horror live broadcasts never said that they could actually become real while broadcasting!
"Senior, no, boss..." Wei Ziming hesitated, "Do you have any way to relieve the pain? Painkillers are fine... I can buy them with money!"
He has saved some money from live streaming over the years, so it should be enough to buy some painkillers... right?
"It's not good for your wound to heal if the pain stops now." Wei Ziming heard the mysterious boss with a steady demeanor and good looks say, "Unless you want to go out with scars all over your body."
Wei Ziming: “…Ah?”
He thought of the flesh that the unknown creature had torn from his body...hiss, it seemed to hurt even more!
His tone became low, and he sounded like he was about to cry: "Even if I don't have scars all over my body, I'll have scars. Can I have plastic surgery after the wounds from monster bites heal?"
Yu Tu: “…”
He sighed.
He was going to Renxin Hospital at the time and took a detour along an unmonitored path near the mountain. The place was very remote and there were almost no people there at night. Even when the first batch of street lights installed broke down, no one came to repair them.
"Why go to the mountains?" he asked.
Although the question was not meant to be condemnatory, contemptuous, or annoying, but was simply a normal inquiry, Wei Ziming still lowered his head in shame: "I am a horror game anchor, and sometimes I also do offline adventures."
Yu Tu understood instantly.
I don't know if it's his luck, but there are many problems around Huailin Town where the two-story building is located, and Wutong Town where the teahouse is located. After Yu Tu arrived in Wutong Town, not long after the teahouse opened, he took the time to collect all the legends around it, including the abandoned community on the mountain.
Yu Tu's purpose of collecting these is to ensure that he leaves an impression of the problematic places and never finds out something is wrong after breaking in - he cannot guarantee that these legends are all false, and he cannot guarantee that if they are true, he will not be triggered on the spot.
But the one on the mountain...
Yu Tu felt it was a bit strange.
He also took this path when he went to the hospital to find Zang Sheng a few days ago. After releasing his perception, he felt familiar fluctuations on the mountain - like a talisman, or like a formation.
You can tell at first glance that it is an official work.
But the authorities have already taken protective measures, so how did he get in?
He thought so and asked this question, but Wei Ziming replied with a bewildered look on his face:
"Just walk in normally..."
Yu Tu: “…”
He suddenly understood Meng Zu's feelings a little.
"The government has set up protection on that mountain. Even if you are completely healthy, you can't get in."
Now it was Wei Ziming's turn to be confused: "What is a fully yang body?"
After Yu Tu explained it to him, he asked him what he encountered on the mountain.
As soon as Wei Ziming began to recall the past, he couldn't help shivering.
He cried and said, "I met a monster who called my name."
He was so frightened at the time that he didn't react. His fans in the live broadcast room all called him "King of Curl", "Teacher Curl" or "Cuanjuan". No one knew his real name. How did that monster know it?
In a sense, this is more terrifying than being chased by a monster.
Wei Ziming was trembling as he recalled the past. Listening to his description, Yu Tu felt a headache coming on.
There are still some tails of the previous incorruptible bone fragments left. Why doesn't this feel less difficult than the incorruptible bone fragments?
Yu Tu took a deep breath and felt that professional matters should be left to professionals. However, in order to protect this vest, he did not leave contact information with anyone in the Alien Department. Yu Tu did have it, but it was not convenient for him to come forward at the moment.
He had communicated with Meng Ziqiu through dreams before and helped him to resolve his worries. Yu Tu had recorded the fluctuations of Meng Ziqiu's spiritual power. If Meng Ziqiu was already asleep, he could pull him back from his dream.
It just seems a bit immoral to ask people to work overtime in the middle of the night.
But Yu Tu was only troubled for a second. After apologizing to Meng Zu in his heart, he decisively used his perception to simulate Meng Ziqiu's spiritual power fluctuations to find his dream.
*
After working overtime for seven consecutive days and three nights, Meng Ziqiu finally got off his early shift. After washing up, he fell asleep. While sleeping, he suddenly "woke up".
This "awakening" does not mean that his body woke up in the physical sense, but that he was clearly aware that he was dreaming - he dreamed of a teahouse and his seniors who were sitting in the teahouse drinking tea.
The only thing that felt strange to him was the human-shaped "mummy" lying on the ground like a salted fish.
People who have started practicing cultivation will not have random dreams. Meng Ziqiu recalled the scene where his senior had dragged him into a dream before, and asked tentatively: "Senior, do you have something to talk to me about?"
"Today I met a kid who was good at sneaking into the mountains outside Wutong Town." Meng Ziqiu heard the senior in front of him say, "I rescued him, and the one chasing him was a rhinoceros."
Meng Ziqiu's eyebrows wrinkled unconsciously: "Xiqu?"
How come there are strange beasts from the Classic of Mountains and Seas again?
Because at least half of the staff joining the Alien Bureau graduated from Millerkel, the mission level system of Millerkel is the same as that of the Alien Bureau, whether it is the pre-school preparation mission or the internship mission after enrollment.
There is an ancient seal in the mountains outside Wutong Town, which contains a strange beast recorded in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas". The Abnormal Bureau spent a lot of manpower and resources to figure out the identity of this strange beast—the disaster beast Fei.
Logically speaking, the appearance of a legendary creature, a calamity beast, should have been at least Class B in danger even if it was sealed. However, the seal was very strong. As long as they moved all the people living on it away and left the area nearby empty, and replenished the seal with the required spiritual energy on time, there would be no big problem. So everyone argued over whether this place should be classified as Class B or Class C. In the end, everyone took a step back and classified it as a [Special Anomaly File], which meant that the danger level was low, but required regular patrols and attention.
Meng Ziqiu clearly remembered that the Anomaly Classification Center had checked all the abnormal points in the country two months ago, and there was nothing wrong with this place classified in the [Special Anomaly File].
"The place you are talking about should be the [Disaster Beast Fei] in the [Special Abnormal Files] under the name of the Abnormal Department, which is sealed on Mount Sitai outside Wutong Town." Meng Ziqiu said after thinking, "But there is only Fei in that place, and there should be no Xiqu."
He knew that the senior was not the kind of person who spoke without reason, and that what he said must have a basis, but it sounded frightening that when one disaster beast was sealed, another disaster beast would appear.
"I was in a hurry to save people, so I didn't have time to deal with Xiqu's body." A lifelike 3D picture with naked eyes gradually unfolded in front of Meng Ziqiu's eyes, "It's right here."
When Meng Ziqiu saw the upside-down cow-like creature with green fur covered with dark red in the darkness, his brows couldn't help but tighten.
The senior said that he was in a hurry to save people and didn't have time to deal with Xiqu's body. Meng Ziqiu naturally knew that this was just a humble statement. With the senior's ability, how could he not have a way to deal with it? It was nothing more than deliberately leaving Xiqu's body behind to remind them so that they would take fewer detours during their research.
Meng Ziqiu recalled that some time ago, all those who had come into contact with the senior, Buyehou, were summoned by the director for an internal meeting. Everyone felt that although the senior was unwilling to have too much contact with the inner world, he was kind to the inner world and the official authorities. Although the investigation had not stopped and everyone would not take the initiative to contact the senior for the time being, the senior still had a high degree of favorability in the hearts of those who had come into contact with him.
When Meng Ziqiu was carefully observing the rhino canal in the picture, Wei Ziming felt that he was in a trance for a moment, and then there was a person in front of him, who looked righteous and was suspected to be an official.
He could only hear the first two sentences of their conversation, but the rest became blurry words in his ears. He could hear them, but his brain could not understand them. In other words, he was unilaterally blocked from this conversation.
Wei Ziming: "..."
He comforted himself that he was just an ordinary person, and the less he knew about the inside story, the more chances he had to survive. The higher the ability, the greater the responsibility, and the more he knew, the faster he would die!
While the two of them were talking, Wei Ziming cleared his mind and, as the boss had just told him, recalled the cold body and the highly human face that had been clinging to his back in Room 101 of Unit 1.
Wei Ziming was sighing in his mind, "Wow! There actually is a function of secret voice transmission in this world", while at the same time he was wailing in his mind, "Ahhhhhhh, the more I think about that damn thing, the more scared I get. My hair is standing on end."
Although he felt uneasy, Wei Ziming still tried hard to recall what the thing looked like. Not far from him, something gradually took shape as he recalled it. Wei Ziming glanced at it and shook it, then carefully moved towards the direction of the two people who were talking. He glanced at it again and shook it again, then carefully moved towards the direction of the two people who were talking.
He is really scared TAT
When the terrifying thing he had seen at a startled glimpse was completely formed, Wei Ziming suddenly felt a shadow in front of him. He looked up and saw that the two people who had been talking just now were looking at him. There was a smile in their eyes, and he was already very close to them because of his movement.
The boss handed him a cup of tea and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
Wei Ziming took it with a flattered look: "It's not hard, it's for the people—"
He almost blurted it out.
Wei Ziming was almost frightened to death in the crisis, and the look back was not very clear, so the images that followed his memory were also a bit abstract.
He saw the boss walk forward a few steps, stand next to the abstract thing in his memory, and look at it carefully for a while.
He heard the elder's unhurried voice: "It should be the ape. The ape knows people's names. It is a beast like a pig with a human face. It is west of Shun's burial place."
"Another strange beast from the Classic of Mountains and Seas." The person talking to the boss didn't seem to doubt his judgment at all. Wei Ziming noticed that the man stared at the monster for a few seconds, then turned his gaze to him. "It's a miracle that you can survive."
He encountered two strange beasts that seemed to have undergone strange changes in the seal array of disaster beasts. Although he was injured, he did not die on the spot. It was indeed a great miracle.
Wei Ziming: "..."
Weak, pitiful and helpless.JPG
"The memory image is slightly...illusory." He heard the big boss continue to speak. When commenting on his memory image, he paused for a moment and reluctantly changed the word to save his face. "But according to his description, it should be the ape in the "Hai Nei Nan Jing". The ones circulating in the market are mostly derived from the "Nan Shan Jing"."
The "Classic of Mountains and Seas - Nanshan Jing" records:
[It looks like a monkey but has white ears. It will lie on people walking by and run away. It is called a monkey. If you eat it, it will make you run faster.]
It is also the most widely circulated saying.
"The ape cannot predict the future, but it can know people's past." Wei Ziming heard the boss continue, "So it's not strange that it can call out your name."
Wei Ziming collapsed in a low voice: "...Boss! Is it possible that the strange beasts in the Classic of Mountains and Seas appeared in real life? That would be outrageous enough!"
The boss's answer was to pour him a new cup of tea as if to comfort him.
Wei Ziming drank the whole cup in one gulp with a sad look on his face. To be honest, even though he didn't like tea at all, he thought the tea was really delicious. He guessed it must be the boss's treasured collection.
The boss is so nice!
While Wei Ziming was drinking tea, Meng Ziqiu asked, "What should he do?"
Meng Ziqiu knew that his senior didn't like to get involved in these things, but when they met, he couldn't bear it and would intervene. No matter if it was for ordinary people or practitioners, as long as it didn't cross his bottom line, he was always very tolerant and easy-going.
After the question of the placement of the only witness and the only injured person was raised, he saw his senior think for a moment and smiled faintly:
"Let him stay in my teahouse first, and send someone to pick him up as soon as possible."
Although he really wanted to put the man next to the rhino's body so that they could take him away together, it was too cruel to leave this frightened and injured child out in the dark path to face the cold wind.
When Yu Tu said this, he didn't realize that he had already immersed himself in the identity of Buyehou. Wei Ziming was older than him, but he actually took it for granted that Wei Ziming was a child.
After quickly finalizing the process with Meng Ziqiu, Yu Tu released the person from the dream. In the eyes of the only ordinary person, who had almost been stamped with an official identity, he completely disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Wei Ziming subconsciously exclaimed: "How cool!"
"Could it be that the Dragon Group in the book is real?"
He can fly in the sky and hide in the ground, and he is capable of doing anything. He appears in a flashy and cool manner, and is surrounded by many experts.
Yu Tu: “…”
Wake up, I'm dreaming.
