The Walking Dead
Taking some luggage and banknotes, they set off for the human world.
Leng Can was too lazy to use his spiritual power. He hugged Cong Mo's waist, resting his chin on her shoulder, his hair flying in the wind. "Master, where are we going?"
"Let's go pay our respects to His Majesty first," said the old man. "Then we'll investigate the origin of the zombies. Everything has a source. We need to know how resentment is sparked and where it comes from."
"Your Majesty, do you know that we are going there?" For convenience, he transformed into his original form and entered the sword.
"I've sent her a message." It was summer in the human world, and the further one got into it, the hotter it became. The old man wiped the sweat from his forehead. "We need to discuss the details in person. Congmo, fly down."
"yes."
In less than an hour, they landed in the capital. Li emerged from his sword. He had silver hair, which he had tied up and covered with a thin hat. The printed pattern on the hat made him look even more adorable. "I just saw the soldiers at the city gate are imposing martial law."
"This matter is very strange. One incident can trigger several manifestations, and there is currently no way to control it. We can't even find the cause. The immortal mountain has no intention of guarding it, so we must impose martial law." Cong Mo straightened his clothes. "The capital is the last line of defense, and it must not be captured."
"Alright." The old man patted Xi's head. "Don't worry, let's go out."
“Ah…hiss…waaaah…”
As soon as I came out of the alley, I heard a sharp roar coming from not far away. It seemed to come from deep in the throat, as if the voice was blocked and he couldn't speak normally.
What followed was an unpleasant stench. Cong Mo's pupils trembled violently. He was the first to react, drew his sword and flew backwards.
Seeing that something was wrong, the remaining three people also ran away.
I saw many officers and soldiers holding sharp knives surrounding the man standing in the middle of the road, and the rest of the people fled and did not dare to move forward.
Cong Mo jumped behind a soldier and easily saw the man's face. His face was covered with red blood vessels, which were constantly wriggling like flesh worms under the skin. His eyeballs were completely covered in white, and his lips were pale, as if his mind had been invaded.
Raising her fingers, a talisman appeared. Cong Mo softly chanted a spell, and the talisman ignited with spiritual light. She leaped into the middle of the room, kicked the man down, and placed the talisman on his forehead. "Clear!"
At a command, the light emitted by the talisman became brighter and brighter, the man's whole body twitched, and streams of black air came out of his mouth.
Yu came on stage at the right time, took out the gourd from his waist, and sucked the black air into it.
Until the man stopped twitching, the blood vessels on his face disappeared and became lighter, and he slowly closed his eyes.
The talisman turned into ashes and shattered to the side. Cong Mo bent down and pried open his eyelids, and his pupils had returned to their normal color.
An officer tried to move forward, "Girl, this..."
"Don't move." Cong Mo stopped her and conjured another talisman to stick on his chest. He formed a seal with his hand and a rope emerged from the seal, binding the man. "He hasn't fully recovered yet, so keep your distance for now."
"This..." The officer was shocked. "Girl, you are..."
"We are chivalrous men who fight for justice and stand up for justice." Leng Can took a few steps forward and explained to the officers and soldiers with a faint smile, "Our companion can handle this matter well, so just leave it to her."
"How could this happen so suddenly? I just saw martial law at the city gate." An old man stepped over the soldiers and went to check on the man. "The evil spirit has invaded his mind and penetrated deep into his bones for many days."
"Is this the legendary walking corpse?" The talisman on his chest continued to work. Cong Mo analyzed, "The demonic energy has been burrowing into the bone marrow for at least seven days. Simply controlling someone with demonic energy wouldn't be so troublesome, but if it's stimulated by the ever-increasing resentment, then only a small amount of demonic energy is needed to make someone lose their mind. It's also very likely that they can continuously create new demonic energy."
A woman ran out from the crowd, "Brother, brother..."
Leng Can hurriedly helped her up, "Miss, don't get close, it's dangerous. Is that man your brother?"
"Yes." The woman supported Leng Can and sobbed, "I was just cutting flowers and pruning branches in the yard, and he was busy repairing wood nearby. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared. I heard that there was an accident on the street, and I was worried, so I hurried over to check. It turned out that my brother was in trouble."
"Has he encountered any misfortune in the past few days?" he asked her, pressing the gourd.
The woman shook her head, then immediately nodded. "A few days ago, yes, a few days ago, he fell in love with a woman, but she already had someone she loved, so she rejected him. He's been so depressed these past few days, probably because of that, nothing else. My brother has always been an optimistic person, so how could he have contracted such a terrible disease?"
Cong Mo asked, "Serious disease?"
"This disease is indeed difficult to cure." The old man took over her words and cast his eyes at Leng Can.
Leng Can understood what he meant and went aside to comfort the woman.
The talisman on the man's chest had turned to ashes. Cong Mo checked his pulse and said, "The evil spirit has dissipated, but it has corroded his bone marrow and heart too deeply. Even if he wakes up, his body will be very weak."
After hearing her words, the officers and soldiers dared to step forward, lift the man up and take him home.
"Thank you young lady for your help." The officers and soldiers thanked them, "Leave the rest to us."
"Since we've helped, we'll help to the end." The old man said with a gentle expression, "The capital is under martial law, and this incident mostly happened outside the city. How could it appear here inexplicably?"
"The matter has been resolved. Everyone, go back. During this period, you must go out less. The court will send everyone subsidies on time."
Seeing their determination, the officers and soldiers said helplessly, "Follow me to the side."
"What?" Yu's eyes widened. "Zombies have appeared in the capital so early?"
"It is indeed as you fear, young master." The officers and soldiers were distressed. "When we learned about this, we were also panicked and at a loss as to what to do. But as officers and soldiers, it is our responsibility to protect the people. We must not show fear before them."
"Your Majesty, do you know?"
"Know."
The three of them met each other's gazes. No one said anything, only the officer said, "Your Majesty is shouldering a lot of pressure alone, protecting the capital and its people."
"People are in a state of panic. We followed His Majesty's instructions, comforting the people and strictly guarding the city gates. We thought this wouldn't happen again, but we didn't expect it to happen here today. Alas... This kind of thing is difficult to completely prevent. If we hadn't encountered you today, on the street, in front of the people, we really don't know what we would have done."
"When we see injustice, we stand up for it." He patted his shoulder. "Even if we're not here, other righteous people will come forward."
"Why didn't Your Majesty tell us?" Cong Mo asked an old man.
The old man stroked his chin, thinking, "I don't know. We'll know everything only after we meet in person."
"Oh..." Leng Can rushed out, sweating profusely, put his arm around Cong Mo's shoulders and leaned on her.
"Why are you so slow?" Cong Mo pushed his hand away. "What is there to talk about?"
"I'm really good, you should praise me." Leng Can smiled happily, "I got a lot of information out of him, and that man is not as innocent as his sister said."
Just now, when he was comforting the girl, he met the suitor of her brother whom she mentioned. With his good looks, Leng Can went up to her and flirted with her. The girl saw that he was so handsome and didn't seem to have any bad intentions, so she told him everything.
"That man knew the woman was in love, yet he still pursued her, and he was extremely high-profile. Everyone in the area knew he liked her, and no matter how she rejected him, he wouldn't give up. He even spread the word about who she was in love with. In the end, everyone spread the story, and it became that the man was practical and capable, while the woman was vain." Leng Can said with disdain, "The girl was so forced that she wanted to move. If it weren't for the zombie incident these days, she would have left long ago."
He chuckled, "If that's the case, the woman should be the one holding grudges. It's the man who lost his temper first."
Leng Can shrugged, "It's just greed. Once you get it, you won't cherish it. Isn't that the reason why you have three wives and four concubines?"
Cong Mo came back to his senses, "Brother, how is the demonic energy?"
"Not very good." Yi's face showed difficulty. "This evil spirit is very unyielding and is tossing and turning in my gourd. It will probably take some time to dissolve it."
"Using the human body as nourishment, especially one with malignant factors, the demonic energy nurtured must have a strong vitality. This is indeed a good idea." Cong Mo pondered, "But if this is the case, the demonic energy required from the beginning must be enormous. Who can have such ability to emit so much demonic energy and wait for an opportunity to act?"
The old man Qingyi and Leng Can looked at each other and saw the same answer in each other's eyes.
They said in unison, "Love Root!"
"If she is alive, where should she be now?" Leng Can asked.
"Things were urgent back then, and all we knew was that she was still alive. We had no idea where she was or what form she was in. If she was the one who really set this up, she must have been planning this for a long time."
"Are you talking about my independent lover?"
"Yes." The old man nodded. "During the war, you were the only one who knew her final fate."
"Don't think about it." Leng Can said hurriedly, "Everything will be easy when you remember it."
"Well, let's go to the palace quickly."
The emperor had given orders early, and the few people entered the palace easily. The palace servants poured tea for them and allowed them to wait in the hall.
"Your Majesty and the General will be here shortly."
They didn't have to wait long before the emperor and the general arrived in a hurry.
The four of them stood up and bowed, "Your Majesty."
"We are the only ones here, so there's no need for such grand formalities." The Emperor hurriedly helped them up and asked, "How are you after you woke up?"
"You've recovered well." The old man said with a smile. Ever since what the officers and soldiers said just now, he has been wary of the emperor's words.
Whether it is true or false, they should be careful. If this is a trap set by the emperor to lure them here, they will be in a lot of trouble.
"Your Majesty, since we're cooperating, there can be no hiding anything." Cong Mo didn't give the old man a chance to hesitate. He looked directly at the emperor and asked directly, "We are sincere to you. Why didn't you tell us about the zombies appearing in the capital?"
"?" The general stepped forward, a little puzzled. "What does this mean? We wrote about this in the letter we sent you. Did you receive it?"
