MTL - Mysterious World, I Have Special Understanding-Chapter 261 Praying Mantis Cicada
Ji Que returned to his hometown, and did not feel the long-lost nostalgic beauty, because although the familiar plants and trees were still there, except for the Tang clothes around him, everything had changed.
Brother and sister Li Sankai had a relationship with him. The last time they were on the road together, the three talked and laughed happily, and experienced a wonderful and thrilling night in the ancient temple.
And now that he was standing in front of them, they were already starved and skinny, and had lost their former spirit.
The elders and folks he used to be familiar with, such as Boss Zhang who sells tofu noodles at the end of the alley, the young lady in the street next door who is not fully clothed in winter, and the classmates and husbands in the academy, now walk and move, and the rest It turned into this kind of monster that is neither human nor ghost.
I don't know if the old man who was so angry with him and Tang Yi, the crouching dragon and phoenix, ran out in time.
But Ji Que couldn't help asking a question - "Why are you three hiding here?".
Li Sankai said: "On your side, those ghosts dare not come in."
Ji Que was surprised and said: "Ah, can people in Tang Yi and I exorcise evil spirits?"
At this moment, Tang Yi went into the house, took out a kitchen knife, and said, "They are the knives left by me."
The knife looked very old, with ash stuck on it, and it didn't look very durable, but Tang Yi shook, and the ashes fell to the ground, revealing the blade.
The blade was obviously pitch black, but it gave off the feeling of being covered with blood.
Ji Que couldn't help thinking of something.
At this moment, Tang Yi came over and said, "Everyone in the city has fallen for the truth, what do you want to do?"
Ji Que thought about it: "When I was bumping that ghost child just now, I always felt that there was something else in his body, but it was too tightly stuck to his body. If it was looser, maybe it could be saved."
Tang Yi frowned and said, "So?"
Ji Que replied: "I used pigs to practice spooning before, and I always felt that the cost was high. Now it's better, and it doesn't cost money to beat people."
Before Ji Que and Tang Yi returned to the old house, a group of common people who were neither human nor ghost surrounded the house, but on this day, after Ji Que pushed the house away, Ji Que surrounded the whole city by himself. common people.
In the beginning, those common people were affected by the extra shadows on their bodies, and rushed towards them desperately.
The momentum of these people’s rushing over is not insignificant, some are as fast as flying boats, some are like cheetahs preying on them, and some even use sliding shovels that ordinary people can’t use.
But their endings are the same, throwing themselves to Ji Que's side, and then flying into the sky inexplicably, constantly rising and falling, never falling again.
It's as if the chef is shaking the spoon.
So in the eyes of Li Sankai and the others, Ji Que often knocked a dozen civilians upside down by himself.
The faces of those people are either wishing to die, weeping with joy, and laughing wildly, or they are ecstatic, crying, and tears streaming down their faces.
In the middle, those shadows stuck to the bodies of the common people as if they had entities, but after being knocked down by Ji Que, they began to fall off one after another, like pieces of mud.
When those black shadows were reversed, the people could not help but return to normal.
"This is where?"
"What's wrong with me?"
After the explanation by Li Sankai and others, the people in Sangshui County gradually understood everything.
After all, many years ago, when the Fenglian Sect was raging here, some of them encountered a situation similar to losing their memory.
Because Ji Que's flipping was too effective, the situation suddenly changed.
At the beginning when he went out, those people who were bound by the shadow rushed over to prey on him impatiently. Later, they appeared cautious and rushed over from time to time. Now, he is chasing after those people.
Especially when he was chasing after him in a land-swimming posture, it can be said that he was flying around for a while.
Don’t tell me, this time, a dog bound by the shadow was thrown into the air, and there was a slapping sound on its body, as if it was being fried again.
If Ji Que hadn’t known that this was Boss Zhang’s dog who sells tofu brains, he would have almost fired him for lunch.
During this period, Ji Que's "Eternal Cooking Method" was perfectly displayed.
When he was at his best, more than 20 people were thrown by him and couldn't get off the air.
In the eyes of Li Sankai, Li Mei, and Widow Zhao, Ji Que had a faint trembling force all over his body, and his whole body was like a ball of fire.
They even had an illusion that if Ji Que was more vigorous, their hair might be set on fire.
Sangshui County, which had become lifeless due to this change, has gradually regained its vitality, at least the streets near Ji Que's old house have regained their vitality.
At Ji Que's request, Boss Zhang, who survived the catastrophe, started selling tofu brains before he recovered from his panic.
While cooking tofu naoer, he felt weird.
My life is almost gone, but I am still cooking tofu brains. Am I born to work hard?
But seeing Ji Que and Tang Yi's good-looking faces, he was in a daze for a moment, as if he had returned to a few years ago.
On this day, Boss Zhang finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked, "Are you Tang Yi's younger sister or older sister?"
Tang Yi ate salty tofu and said, "Can't I disguise myself as a man?"
Boss Zhang wanted to say something, but he didn't say it after all.
"How is it possible? You were so flat before!"
This is Boss Zhang's heartfelt words.
Every time he sees Tang Yi and Ji Que, two scholars, Boss Zhang has a feeling of intimacy when he sees his nephew and niece.
Even now.
Boss Zhang’s most proud thing in his life is being able to support his family with this craft.
This complacency is especially evident in front of Ji Que and Tang Yi, two regular customers.
Of course, he wasn't in awe of Ji Que, who already had the means of a **** and could treat more than ten or twenty people as a dish at a time, but that he had a kind of calm after the rest of his life.
He has indeed reached the age of knowing his destiny.
And ordinary people's knowing the destiny is to be able to accept their own ordinary and one or two shining points.
"Damn it, it's just too easy to get into trouble."
It's just that whenever the night is quiet, Boss Zhang looks at his sleeping little daughter, and still can't help but say.
There is naturally anger in such words.
This world is still too unfair to ordinary people like them.
Sometimes, he feels that they are like grass growing in the field, which will fall wherever the wind blows. If they are not in order, they will be pulled out suddenly and thrown on the ridge to rot.
The Fenglian Sect a few years ago, this time the strange incident, if there is no Ji Que, the family of four would not be able to survive in such a complete way.
However, as the breadwinner of the family, the experience of relying on luck for survival still makes him very uncomfortable.
These days, Ji Que is still chasing people around.
The cloud of gray fog was like a fence, enclosing this group of people controlled by shadows.
Actually, Ji Que also had similar anger to Boss Zhang.
Although he is very powerful now, he has a lot of voice even in the practice world, so he can be said to be a big shot.
But he still lived the life of a small person.
He can feel the bitterness of countless people like Boss Zhang, because he also lived a similar life for a long time before leaving Sangshui County.
You were living a good life, but your aunt came to rob you of your real estate, and even turned into a monster. You lived a good life, eating tofu brains and wanting to be a scholar, but the Fenglian Sect kept trying to take you away
After finally going back to my hometown, what I saw was a bleak picture of things changing.
Yes, these neighbors are not as lucky as Boss Zhang's family. He saved many people by throwing spoons, but some of them were too serious to be saved after all.
He still goes to the alley to eat a bowl of sweet tofu nao every morning, just like a few years ago.
But some things are different after all.
Sangshui County, with fewer people, is more desolate and decadent than before.
"Fuck you! Fuck you bastard!"
"You also do it in my hometown!"
Feeling the anger in his heart, Ji Que knocked thirty people down at once.
Those shadows floated in the air, screaming shrill or angry, and finally fell to the ground piece by piece, turning into ashes.
And when Ji Que frantically threw the spoon to save people, and even the air was distorted by the heat, in a shadow on a high place, two men in black robes were quietly watching this scene.
Their entire bodies and faces are covered in black robes, not even a bit of skin is exposed, but it gives people a more sinister feeling than darkness
"Is it time for us to hunt?" The tall man in black robe asked.
"The altar owner made a trapping plan, but are you sure you can catch this cicada?" the short man in black robe asked back.
The tall man fell into a brief silence and said, "No, this cicada is a bit beyond my expectation."
The short man responded: "Not only this cicada, but also the one that is too lazy to move still still feels dangerous to me.
If there is only this one that loves to move, the two of us are still somewhat sure, but with the one that doesn’t move, I don’t want to try it at all. "
"But the altar master's order cannot be easily disobeyed."
Having said this, the two men in black robes fell silent.
In the organization of the Alien Object Society, disobeying orders from above is a terrible thing.
The short man in black robe replied: "The altar owner is not a stubborn rock. He knows our difficulties and will definitely continue to call people."
These days, they've been waiting for their chance.
Because according to their speculation, Ji Que's weird method like flipping spoons should consume a lot of real energy, and it will only become weaker and weaker.
But they were wrong, instead of getting weaker and weaker, Ji Que became more violent.
It seems that as long as he continues to fall, as long as he drinks the northwest wind, he can recover his strength.
Especially the routine where the other party drinks a bowl of sweet tofu naoer every morning and can be turned into dark, which always gives them a horrible feeling.
It seems that there are already troops charging on the street, with corpses everywhere, but he still goes to the fixed Goulan to listen to music every day, very regularly.
As members of the Foreign Object Society, the two men in black robes haven't felt such a weird sense of terror for a long time. This is why they have been waiting, but they never got the chance to prey.
The plan to rely on these people to consume Ji Que's physical strength has failed, and they can only continue to lurk.
It can only be said that this child is terrifying, and there is a woman behind him who can't see clearly.
They noticed a **** smell in the room before, as if a terrible butcher lived there, so that these shadow-controlled people dared not approach.
They searched, but couldn't find the existence of that evil spirit, until the very beautiful young woman took out the knife.
"What do you think is the origin of that knife? There are very few such restrained and presumptuous knives in this world." The tall man in black couldn't help but said.
Fengqie, who cut off the edge of the world, does not have this kind of taste, and Ning Hongyu's magic knife is not ready yet.
The short man shook his head and said, "Maybe it's a master that we haven't walked in the world for too long and don't know?"
"We must know that there are not many people in this world who can live longer than us, including those masters."
When he said this, the tone of the short man in black showed a taste of seeing all the vicissitudes of life.
As a result, at this moment, a nice female voice sounded—"Are you talking about this knife?".
As soon as these words came out, the two men in black robes looked around as if they were facing a formidable enemy. They turned into horns and looked around.
They were originally hiding in the dark, and they were very good at hiding in the dark, but they didn't know where the other party was hiding for a while.
The greater fear is that they can already feel the evil spirit.
The pitch-black knife that doesn't show any sharpness, but has a presumptuous evil spirit is nearby!
"I can tell you clearly that this knife is older than old people like you."
The woman's voice was still floating in the distance, and there was a sense of horror in this dark attic.
For a moment, the two men in black robes didn't know whether they were afraid of the knife or this person.
Involuntarily, the two men in black robes leaned back.
Before, the darkness gave them enough sense of security, like a baby's swaddle, making them very comfortable.
But they found the person in the darkness at once, and the darkness seemed to have turned into needles and thorns, full of danger.
As if by instinct, they approached a wall.
Any movement of the wall can arouse their vigilance, and at the same time block the danger in one direction, making them feel safe.
And just as the tall man in black robe was approaching the wall, a section of darkness moved, which was very inconspicuous.
If you look closely, it's a knife.
A pitch-black knife without any sharp edges.
It moved very slowly, without any movement, but it finally stood near the waist of the tall man in black.
The next moment, with a swipe of the dark blade, there was an extremely miserable cry.
The black robe on the tall man fell to the ground, and he saw a dwarf-like man clutching his neck with an expression of disbelief in his eyes.
He has been shrouded in a tall black robe for almost his whole life. Apart from covering up his short inferiority complex, it can also confuse opponents.
There are only a few people in this world who know this secret, not even the companions around them.
This is also the reason why he can easily kill the enemy countless times.
He even had an illusion that as long as the black robe didn't fall to the ground, he would be invincible forever.
But today, the knife hidden in the darkness seemed to have seen through his disguise long ago, and cut open his neck precisely.
His companion saw this, and just wanted to sprint to the side, only to hear a bang, a fist passed through the wall, and grabbed his neck.
Immediately afterwards, a man's voice sounded - "I found you.".
