The Grim Reaper Can't Be Tricked
Chapter 98 The Blind and Foolish Heresy
In the stories of 'Stand-In' and 'Doctor', the former is a child who sees his mother drowned by a female ghost in the swimming pool and replaces his identity. He and his child were detained in the sick building.
In the final story summary, Cen Jin connected the two stories together, and subconsciously added emotional elements such as "regret" and "revenge" to the child in the story, making his character different from the protagonist in "Stand-In".
Then it is arranged for him to receive a strange letter so that he escapes from the sick building, goes to the plaster room of the ghost school to meet other people, and uses a new psychic spell to summon or revive his parents.
As for who sent the strange letter to the child, Cen Jin made some assumptions in his mind at the time, and then handed it over to Sha Matt in the next round of story meeting, but unexpectedly got involved in the real ghost town.
After confirming that the three main lines of the story had actually happened, Cen Jin thought that the child running through the entire "psychic" story line might still be locked up in the sick building, so he came to him with this guess.
Unexpectedly, the child turned into the water ghoul king.
"Did you come here specifically to find me?"
Afterwards, the chill on Cen's back disappeared, and he looked in the direction of the sound source. A light bulb in the corridor flickered twice and suddenly turned on. His vision became clear again, and he saw countless black and smooth hairs in the water gathering and standing under the light bulb, forming a The black puppet, after the hands, feet and head were formed, the hair slipped like water, revealing a gray-blue boy, about nine or ten years old.
"No." Cen Jin replied: "I want to dig out the secrets of Bingdong, and I also want to understand the heart of the cult."
Anping stepped on the dense hair floating on the water, and a wound from his forehead to his cheek that was scratched by a feather blade gradually healed. His gray eyes stared straight at Cen Jin: "You managed to escape from the hands of the asuras who are extremely protective, and how can you escape?" Kill an Asura and take his wings?"
Cen Jin: "More than one."
"..." Anping inspected Cen Jin, accidentally met his eyes, and suddenly felt palpitations. It wasn't that the yellow-haired eyes in front of him were so fierce and fierce, but on the contrary, there was nothing in his eyes. There is no desire, a piece of peace, like the Buddha his mother worships all the year round.
"How much do you want to know?"
Cen Jin thought for a while and said, "Tell me everything."
Anping walked to the locked black iron door, brewing a sentence, and said, "I have autism."
Settings not in the story.Cen Jin thought to himself.
"My mother loves me very much, and my father is very busy at work. Although he has no time to accompany me, he will say good morning and good night to me every day. When I was five years old, the doctor suggested that my mother take me to church. He said that the pastor of the church is actually very powerful. A psychiatrist, if he's willing to treat, might get me to talk.
So when I was five years old, I spent the night in the cabinet of the church, and saw the priest take out a special plaster statue from the school and break it, and then made a new kind of plaster and pasted it on the statue of God, and the remaining plaster was poured in the rose garden and greenery.
When I was six years old, the doctor advised my mother to send me to study, so my mother sent me to the elementary school attached to the ghost school.
So I went to the red dormitory building and saw mummy monsters full of playgrounds.
When other kids look forward to sports, only I fear sandy beaches, green fields, and basketball courts, because I often see sandy beaches suddenly stretch out a rotten hand and grab the ankles of classmates, leaving black footprints, but no one notices abnormal.
I saw that when the javelin stuck into the green grass was pulled out, blood flowed out of the grass, and no one noticed that there seemed to be monsters living in the ground.
I saw a hemp rope hanging on the basketball hoop, hanging a dried corpse, and sometimes I could see it suddenly opened its eyes when passing by, staring straight at the unaware classmates with its bulging eyes, everyone Indistinct words came out of the distorted mouth, and the blackened tongue hung down to the chest. "
Hearing this, Cen Jin probably guessed that Anping's so-called autism is because he can see things that others cannot see, which is what people often call ghost eyes and yin and yang eyes.
The weirdness at first occupies three inches of land, and after years of pollution and expansion of the field, it pollutes humans.Lightly polluted human beings initially affect the "vision" part of the brain, so they can see strange real faces, commonly known as "hell" and "crashing evil".
High-level weirdness carries a high pollution value, which directly pollutes the six senses of human beings.
In addition, some children are born with a super strong sixth sense, and they can automatically "see" the strangeness of life in the crowd without being affected by pollution. This is the reason why folk children are prone to ghosts.
Anping is a child with a super strong sixth sense, and it is possible to inspire extraordinary skills without even having to pass through the gifts of the god of death, becoming a young genius and extraordinary person.
It's a pity that his parents and living environment don't know anything about weird and extraordinary beings. Ten or twenty years ago, he was still in the stage of global atheism. Even if he told about the monsters he saw with his own eyes, he would only be regarded as a different kind of little monster.
"I've also been in the plaster room."
Cen Jin raised his eyebrows and asked, "You were only six or seven years old at that time, did the original principal want to harm you?"
Anping tilted his head to look at Cen Jin, felt his ups and downs of anger, and wondered how he could get angry over such a trivial matter.
Anping didn't understand, it wasn't because he thought it was a long time ago that there was no need to be angry now, but because he had become a monster, seeing his ending, why would Cen Jin still be angry about his past experiences?
Due to his autism, coupled with the fact that he has been eccentric since he was a child, and lives in a bizarre world, Anping's thinking mode is quite cold and rational. In a sense, he is indeed a little monster.
Cen Jin saw Anping's doubts, so he explained and instilled: "Children are the flowers of the motherland and the future of the country. Any behavior that hurts children or uses them for profit should be punished."
Anping: "But he was not punished."
Cen Jin: "Didn't I come?"
An Ping and Cen Jin looked at each other, making sure that he was not joking, nor did he intend to please, as if it was only natural for him to punish bad people who hurt children.
He is very strange.
Anping glanced at Cen Jin's yellow hair, and thought that even the color of his hair was strange. Although he would also express indignation and sympathy after hearing what happened to him, it was different from Ning Ma and Xia Zhengmin.
For example, Mama Ning and the others’ indignation was due to their resentment of the principal’s cruel methods, which led to rescue and punishment. In the eyes of the yellow-haired man in front of him, it was only because the principal’s actions were wrong and violated the rules, so he wanted to set things right.
Anping shook his head and said softly, "I sneaked to the plaster room. Because I passed by the art building, a plaster in the window greeted me, so I ran in to play with her."
Cen Jin subconsciously wanted to squat. Considering that the sewage would cover his calves, he lowered his wings, folded them into a zigzag shape and faced downwards, stepped on them, squatted down with his back against the wall, folded his arms and said, "Your mother didn't teach you not to Pay attention to strangers?"
Anping groped towards this side, grabbed a feather and retorted: "It's not a stranger, she's Sister Ningning."
Such a coincidence?The first time Anping went to the plaster room was actually led by Ning Ning in the radio story.
"Sister Ning Ning asked me to hide in the plaster room and watch the whole process of the principal's psychic, and then tell the adults. I didn't go home until the next day, and my mother kept looking for me all night. She never dared to let me go to a ghost school. No one believed what I said.
I want to tell Mama Ning, but Mama Ning is not here.
I was terrified because I thought the principal knew me and hid in the plaster room to watch the whole process.I feel restless every day, feeling that something unfortunate is about to happen.Sure enough, soon, the doctor and pastor also suggested that my mother take me to learn swimming. They said that exercise can not only consume energy but also stimulate the potential of the brain.
Before that, my mother observed the pastor for a whole year and witnessed that the pastor cured patients with serious psychological and mental illnesses. Even the moderate depression caused by my illness improved under the pastor's treatment, so she trusted him very much.
On the pastor's suggestion, my mother resolutely took me to the garden swimming pool regardless of my strong resistance. "
When mentioning the garden swimming pool, Anping showed a trace of fear on his face.
"In other people's eyes, the garden swimming pool has complete supporting facilities, complete rescue facilities, and clean pool water. Adults and children like it. That is summer in the eyes of others. But in my eyes, there are dense corpses piled up at the bottom of the lake, and people step on it. Laughing and playing on the dead body, diving into the bottom of the water to hug and kiss the dead body, diving into the pool, bouncing on the bloated belly of the dead body...
I exuded fear and screamed harshly to remind people, but they all thought I was sick, loud, psychotic, and even my mother looked at me sullenly.
Later, my mother asked the curator of the swimming pool to delay the closing time for one hour, and set aside one hour for me. "
Anping was trembling, without going into details, Cen Jin could guess how terrible horror he had faced alone.
He moved away and signaled Anping to squat together.
Anping imitated Cen Jin's posture and felt quite comfortable.
"My mother died in the pool. I know who the murderer is. It pretended to be my mother. Only my father found out that it was wrong. He wanted to take me away but it was too late. Both I and it were locked in the ward, thinking that it wanted to catch me I was a ghost, and I didn’t know it was just a tool to monitor me until I was tricked into the plaster room for psychics.”
"Insert a question, is there a large number of cults flooding into the strange town at this time?"
"Cults have always existed." Anping uttered a shocking secret: "The whole town has been a large-scale experimental field since the beginning, and new psychic spells have been carved on every piece of land in the town. Four points with the old city are foundation piles, highways, streets and other traffic lines connect them, if you overlook the entire town, you will find that it is a large psychic array.”
Cen Jin rubbed his wrists, recalling the various unusual developments in the town, such as how did the immortality serum that was supposed to be in the holy city of Allahabad appear in the town?Simply because the headmaster made too many new psychic spells in the plaster room?Why did he channel new spells?What is the purpose of the new spells to improve psychics?
Abnormal events such as Baimu, Greenland, Weird Church, and Weird School all happened before the cult invaded Weird Town, and from Anping's mouth, we can know that there were many nascent weirdnesses in the town before the longevity serum came out.
The conditions for the birth of Weird are quite harsh. How can there be so many strange things in Weird Town?
Supplemented with the truth of the town revealed by Anping, a test field, and a large psychic array, it can explain where the strangeness of Tonggui Town comes from.
Just what roles did the original principal, pastor and Feitian cult play in it?
"Who is planning everything behind the scenes? The cult, the priest or the principal?"
"Both. The principal is the pastor and one of the members of the cult."
really.
Cen Jin wasn't too surprised, but had some vague guesses in his mind, such as the plaster room and the church's green area, the white plaster fragments on the surface of the rose garden, the principal who made plaster from failed sacrifices, and the priest who made weird plaster statues, pointing too obviously .
If the above points are considered to be a coincidence for the time being, then Xia Zhengmin also said that the person who supports the current headmaster is the pastor, and the original headmaster took the initiative to give up the position of headmaster.
Both the original principal and the pastor are the behind-the-scenes bosses of the ghost school. The former is a devout Catholic, and the latter is a pastor who sticks to the church and loves the statue of God.
Xindong also said that the green field monster was raised by a priest, and from Anping's narration just now, we can know a less conspicuous information, that is, the ghost school green field has abnormalities very early.
In other words, this green monster was raised in the school during the former principal's reign. How good is his relationship with the pastor before he can give up the school to raise an unknown monster?
Too many overlapping coincidences to explain unless the pastor and principal are the same person.
However, it was unexpected that the pastor was also a member of the cult. He thought that the pastor was an ancient book he found during his reign, and thus came up with the idea of experimenting with new spells.
"If the pastor is also a member of a cult, why is the relationship between the ghost school and the sick building so rigid?"
"The priest unilaterally tore up the agreement and forcibly seized the longevity serum."
"High interests that exceed the spirit of the cooperation contract are indeed likely to bring the risk of breaking the contract, so he gave up his position to a scumbag who killed his girlfriend and then disappeared, changed his face into a church priest and hid behind the scenes to continue manipulating the ghost school. This is also to cut himself and the cult. Relationship?"
"Correct."
"Wait, who instigated you to go to the plaster room for psychic communication when you were locked up in the ward? Could it be the pastor?"
"It's him."
"You said that the sick building is also one of the foundations of the cult, and it is also controlled by the priest?"
"Yes."
"The Priest was also the reason why Guizhen was torn into Gusinaro?"
"He couldn't beat Weird, the Cult, and Ning Ma, so he activated the psychic spell in the town ahead of time, because it was incomplete, and Ning Ma and the others fought desperately, and finally only tore half of the town and entered Kusinara.
This is a very weird place, like the rumored Paradise, but also like the nineteenth floor of hell. "
Anping slumped his legs, sitting neatly, and said to Huang Mao: "Kusinara, the place where the Buddha passed away, is also the place where the cultivation of righteousness is achieved. It is a gray boundary between life and death that is blurred, so the people in the town become very strange. The dead When people come back to life, there is neither human nor ghost, and the living people have removed their human nature, leaving only the driven animal nature, but there are still some dreams to leave here.”
"how about you?"
"I do not know."
"How did you become what you are now?"
Anping is at least a third-level high-risk monster. In the story and what he said just now, he is obviously still a human being.
"The so-called psychic is a scam." An Ping said calmly: "Me, Ning Ma, Brother Xia Zhengmin, Brother Xindong, and Brother Youming were all deceived into the plaster room for our own purposes, and it turned out that the pastor targeted us. He wanted to drain our strength to help him perfect a new psychic spell. It was Brother Youming who completely alienated into a monster and saved us, but we all began to alienate more or less.
I was captured back to the sick building. In order to survive, I devoured ghost substitutes, and was arrested by the doctors to do various experiments. I kept devouring other weird things, and evolved into a water ghoul king, occupying the highest level of the sick building.
Over the years, I couldn't kill the priest, and I could only pin my hopes on those asuras. "
At this time, Ashura broke with the priest.
Cen Jin hesitated, patted An Ping on the shoulder and said, "Personally, with the priest's cunning, King Asura may not be able to do anything to him."
"..." Anping: "Avenge me as promised?"
Cen Jin lacked confidence: "The main reason is that I didn't expect the priest to monopolize the longevity serum...what did he do with the monopoly of the longevity serum?"
Anping was depressed: "I don't know."
Cen Jin said dryly: "I promise I will do my best, but you should not have too much hope. As long as people have no hope, they will not be disappointed."
Anping: "Thank you for your comfort."
Cen Jin waved his hand, suddenly thought of something, and asked, "Who is You Ming?"
Anping: "Mother Ning's colleague."
Cen Jin: "Is he with bright purple hair?"
Anping: "It seems that you know each other."
Cen Jin is just guessing. He only knows that Purple Hair came out of Guizhou Town, and is of the same nature as Baimu Nu, but he still doesn't know what role he plays. He feels that this person has a very low sense of existence.
He put the feathers back, scratched his neck and cheeks, and reorganized the story to the timeline of the whole incident in the town. First, the cult headed by the priest used the town as a test field, and the town's foundation was used as a large-scale psychic spell. It should be To summon the rumored holy city Allahabad.
At this time, the pastor was still the headmaster of the ghost school. He used ghost schools, sick buildings and other places as cover to experiment with another new psychic spell in the plaster room. Xindong said that the pastor perfected this new psychic spell in order to allow dead things life.
This is the obsession of the pastor.
In order to bring life to the dead, he betrayed Asura (that is, the cult) and swallowed the sap of longevity. However, Asura devoted a lot of energy, money and manpower to the sap of longevity, so he would definitely not let the priest go.
So the new principal took over, the priest hid in the church, and the news of the release of the immortality serum attracted the headquarters of the cult, official institutions, and other scattered sects to gather in the strange town and activate the psychic array in advance.
The two stories of Baimu girl and psychic basically happened during this period.
Cen Jin: "What was that white face floating in the water just now?"
Anping: "The corpse servant is also something made by the sick building, and it is actually a variant of the water ghoul."
One big and one small squatted on the black gold wings and fell silent. The water level of the sewage rose. After a while, Anping asked Cen Jin if he knew the human beings in the room at the top of the stairs. Worshiping ghosts to control ghosts, the result was backlash.
Cen Jin said 'Oh,' and replied that he knew him but he wasn't familiar with it, and asked him what was in the locked room and whether the sewage could be stopped.
Anping raised his hand and pushed it forward, the iron door opened suddenly, revealing the crowded white faces inside, it turned out that all the corpse servants had been driven inside.
"At this time of day every day, I must flood the highest floor with sewage to ensure that the inside and outside are polluted by me, so that the Asuras will not take the opportunity to come up."
"I think you can stop, because all the Asuras in the sick building have already set off to go to the ghost school." Cen Jin dipped into the water, folded his wings and said, "I have to go to the ghost school before the Asuras arrive at the ghost school." One step to church."
"take me."
"Let me say something first. The pastor is not in the church. I rushed there to let the relocated humans take refuge in the church." Cen Jin raised his wings and said, "In the entire ghost town, only the church is the most dangerous and safest, so I have to Get rid of the risk factors first."
Anping was puzzled.
Cen Jin waved his hand and was about to say something when suddenly the wall behind him exploded, gravel splashed everywhere, sewage flowed down the broken hole, and an alloy fist blade about 1.5 meters high was inserted straight into Cen Jin just now In the squatting position, the sharp blade was burning with raging flames.
He looked at the slightly familiar fist blade, his right eyelid twitched ominously, and turned to look at the hole at the end of the corridor. The white light made Cen Jin squint his eyes, and after he got used to it, he saw clearly the two figures that appeared out of nowhere at the hole.
A man and a woman. The former wears a white coat and glasses, male and female, and the latter wears a black dress and sari, with a gorgeous appearance.
Anping said beside him: "The man is the dean, I don't know the woman."
Luo Hu recognized Huang Mao at a glance: "What a coincidence, isn't it? Acquaintance."
Huang Mao raised his eyes: "Who are you?"
Luo Hu sneered: "There's no point in pretending to be stupid." She raised her hand, shook the fist blade twice, and flew back into her hand with a 'whoosh' sound. "If you don't know me, don't you know this Qatar?"
The fist blade is an unpopular weapon of ancient Bharat, and its name is Qatar.
"I'm asking the dean." Huang Mao looked at the spotless dean and said, "You are not human."
The dean took out white gloves from his pocket, put them on slowly, nodded and said, "Heavenly Man: Di Shitian."
Huang Mao pulled out the two feathered blades, heard the words and asked: "When did the heavenly beings and Asura collude together?"
Di Shitian: "There are so many things you don't know, there's no need to understand everything."
Luo Hu took a step forward: "Give me the yellow hair, I will kill him with my own hands!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his cheeks were covered with strange black runes, and the sound of a bug breaking its shell was ten times magnified from his back. Four bloody arms burst out suddenly, and the six-armed Asura King came to kill him with a ferocious face.
The high-raised fist blade rushed straight towards Cen Jin's face with the airflow wrapped in it. The scorching flame at the end of the blade brought high temperature and distorted the air. The wind of the blade lifted the yellow hair on Cen Jin's forehead, revealing calm eyes.
Cen Jin tilted his head, the blade of his fist brushed against his ear, and leaned forward. Just as he was about to pass Rahu, a strong arm suddenly appeared in the sky and slammed forward, heading straight for his face. One hand, five fingers into claws trying to lock his throat, but the back of the head is the tip of a fist blade that goes back and forth, and the other side is trapped by the wall, unable to avoid it.
Surrounded by three sides, the way to survive was blocked, Cen Jin didn't panic at all, swung his powerful waist, and quickly avoided the fist blade on the back of his head. While being held by the wrist by the side hand, he held his thumb back, and then yanked hard, punched The blade aimed at the oncoming arm, Luo Hu's face changed, and he was eager to withdraw, but the attack was too fast, and the fist blade pierced one of the arms before he could move in time.
Then, Cen Jin broke off the thumb of Luo Hu's third hand.
Luo Hui's eyes were fierce, he held back the severe pain, grabbed Cen Jin tightly so that he could not break free, drew out his fist blade and stabbed heavily at Cen Jin's Tianling Gai, but Cen Jin didn't intend to run away at all, instead he took the initiative to hit him with his arm The sharp blade used the same method to restrain and approach Rahu, then raised his right hand high, and cut Rahu's throat with the feather blade with lightning speed.
.
A large amount of hot blood spewed out, half of Luo Hu's throat was cut, his mouth made a grunting sound, his eyes were full of disbelief, and gradually lost their light, and the hands that restrained Cen Jin gradually became soft and weak.
The next moment, the yellow-haired figure was suddenly reflected in the eyes that lost their light, and the hanging arms were suddenly tense. Six arms were raised together, and a fist was aimed at the most vulnerable part of the human body. Cen Jin was hit in the chest, and the fishy sweetness suddenly surged Looking up at his throat, he couldn't help but look up, and saw Luo Hu smiling ferociously, and the hideous wound on his neck had healed visibly with the naked eye.
"You are a human being, and I am an immortal god."
Bang, bang, bang... Luo Hu punched Cen Jin's face hard, and the strong blow directly shattered all the walls behind him. The blade of his fist was aimed at his heart, he lifted it high and dropped it heavily, but he heard her arrogantly lying——
"There is a world of difference between us!"
Cen Jin's pupils shrank sharply, his left hand formed a palm, and his right hand formed a fist. He used his palm as a shield to block Luo Hu's ankle bone, and used his fist as a spear. Like a meteor falling to the ground, he hit the ground suddenly with a 'crack' sound, and his ankle bone shattered. He hit the knees and toes with the bones, smashed all the bones from the soles of the feet, ankles to the knees, and then grabbed Luo Hu's ankles with his backhand, dragged him down and threw him hard.
Without giving any chance to breathe, Cen Jin was as fast as lightning and as fast as thunder. He teleported to Luo Hu in the blink of an eye and shattered her six arms.
Cen Jin stared at the breathless Luo Hu and counted the time silently. About 30 seconds later, Luo Hu suddenly gasped, his broken neck and hand bones were recovering quickly, and the fist blade not far away was about to move. With the aura of overwhelming mountains and gorge, the blade came at a fast speed, and rushed straight to Cen Jin's back.
Cen Jin didn't move his whole body, and didn't turn his head. He just turned his wrist and waved his palm, and the fist blade that seemed to be commanding thousands of horses to gallop was easily slapped away. Bouncing deep into the ceiling.
Luo Hu gasped, his scalp was numb, and he said in shock, "You actually hid your strength before?"
Cen Jin: "Because you are too strong, your life will be shortened."
The brain configuration is too high and the body can't keep up. Every time I use it, I feel like I'm burning my life.
Luo Hu didn't know the reason for his strength, he just thought he was showing off, and it was ironic to what he said just now. As an immortal god, he was easily defeated by despised humans, which is not ironic.
"You can't kill me." Luo Hu smiled brightly, maliciously: "Humans are the most fragile and low-intelligence creatures. No matter how many times you try, you can't kill the gods."
Cen Jin stood up expressionlessly, looking down at Rahu. The walls on the left and right were almost destroyed. Behind him was the struggle between Di Shitian and Anping. The ghost king was so entangled with him that he couldn't be separated.
"It's a pity that you are not the Almighty God."
Gravity masters.Gravity floats.
The black-gold feather blade on the back was crumbling, and it was pulled out with a 'swish--'. Thousands of feather blades were fan-shaped, shining a cold light, floating neatly behind the yellow hair, with the blade tip facing down, aiming at the Rahu.
"King Asura has three heads and six arms, thousands of heads and thousands of arms, but I think you can only have three heads and six arms with angry eyes at most. Do you think you have a fourth head?"
Luo Hu's cheeks twitched and stiffened, his pupils shrank sharply, and he looked at the fist blade on the ceiling imperceptibly. He sneered at Cen Jin, and before he could output, he heard Cen Jin continue to say: "If Ashura is an immortal god, why bother planning to kill him by dozens of people? For a hundred years, just for a drop of immortality serum that I don't know the truth of?"
"The way you became kings of Ashura is to trample on human lives and seize human beliefs. How can you still look down on human beings? You think highly of yourself, are arrogant, blind and ignorant.
So in the final analysis, both the Asura king and the celestial beings are just expelled by the gods and despised by humans—”
"To shut up."
"heresy."
"Shut up!!"
Luo Hu stared at the yellow hair against the light, watched in horror as he suddenly grinned with joy, and suddenly realized that this human being took pleasure in her fear, broken defense, hatred and powerless weakness.
This human being is taking pleasure in the dignity and pain of her Asura king!
How dare he!
Rahu's eyes cracked.
"Farewell, blind and foolish heretics."
As soon as the words fell, thousands of feather blades pulled out from Asura's mechanical wings fell to the ground. The scene was like a hail of bullets. Without exception, without any mistakes, they pierced into Rahu's body one after another, turning the Asura king into a hornet's nest.
A veritable death toll.
Cen Jin, who was against the light, stood still, with a grim expression, clasped his hands together, and murmured softly: "This is the way for the innocent villagers in Pingxi Village to truly rest in peace."
--------------------
In the final story summary, Cen Jin connected the two stories together, and subconsciously added emotional elements such as "regret" and "revenge" to the child in the story, making his character different from the protagonist in "Stand-In".
Then it is arranged for him to receive a strange letter so that he escapes from the sick building, goes to the plaster room of the ghost school to meet other people, and uses a new psychic spell to summon or revive his parents.
As for who sent the strange letter to the child, Cen Jin made some assumptions in his mind at the time, and then handed it over to Sha Matt in the next round of story meeting, but unexpectedly got involved in the real ghost town.
After confirming that the three main lines of the story had actually happened, Cen Jin thought that the child running through the entire "psychic" story line might still be locked up in the sick building, so he came to him with this guess.
Unexpectedly, the child turned into the water ghoul king.
"Did you come here specifically to find me?"
Afterwards, the chill on Cen's back disappeared, and he looked in the direction of the sound source. A light bulb in the corridor flickered twice and suddenly turned on. His vision became clear again, and he saw countless black and smooth hairs in the water gathering and standing under the light bulb, forming a The black puppet, after the hands, feet and head were formed, the hair slipped like water, revealing a gray-blue boy, about nine or ten years old.
"No." Cen Jin replied: "I want to dig out the secrets of Bingdong, and I also want to understand the heart of the cult."
Anping stepped on the dense hair floating on the water, and a wound from his forehead to his cheek that was scratched by a feather blade gradually healed. His gray eyes stared straight at Cen Jin: "You managed to escape from the hands of the asuras who are extremely protective, and how can you escape?" Kill an Asura and take his wings?"
Cen Jin: "More than one."
"..." Anping inspected Cen Jin, accidentally met his eyes, and suddenly felt palpitations. It wasn't that the yellow-haired eyes in front of him were so fierce and fierce, but on the contrary, there was nothing in his eyes. There is no desire, a piece of peace, like the Buddha his mother worships all the year round.
"How much do you want to know?"
Cen Jin thought for a while and said, "Tell me everything."
Anping walked to the locked black iron door, brewing a sentence, and said, "I have autism."
Settings not in the story.Cen Jin thought to himself.
"My mother loves me very much, and my father is very busy at work. Although he has no time to accompany me, he will say good morning and good night to me every day. When I was five years old, the doctor suggested that my mother take me to church. He said that the pastor of the church is actually very powerful. A psychiatrist, if he's willing to treat, might get me to talk.
So when I was five years old, I spent the night in the cabinet of the church, and saw the priest take out a special plaster statue from the school and break it, and then made a new kind of plaster and pasted it on the statue of God, and the remaining plaster was poured in the rose garden and greenery.
When I was six years old, the doctor advised my mother to send me to study, so my mother sent me to the elementary school attached to the ghost school.
So I went to the red dormitory building and saw mummy monsters full of playgrounds.
When other kids look forward to sports, only I fear sandy beaches, green fields, and basketball courts, because I often see sandy beaches suddenly stretch out a rotten hand and grab the ankles of classmates, leaving black footprints, but no one notices abnormal.
I saw that when the javelin stuck into the green grass was pulled out, blood flowed out of the grass, and no one noticed that there seemed to be monsters living in the ground.
I saw a hemp rope hanging on the basketball hoop, hanging a dried corpse, and sometimes I could see it suddenly opened its eyes when passing by, staring straight at the unaware classmates with its bulging eyes, everyone Indistinct words came out of the distorted mouth, and the blackened tongue hung down to the chest. "
Hearing this, Cen Jin probably guessed that Anping's so-called autism is because he can see things that others cannot see, which is what people often call ghost eyes and yin and yang eyes.
The weirdness at first occupies three inches of land, and after years of pollution and expansion of the field, it pollutes humans.Lightly polluted human beings initially affect the "vision" part of the brain, so they can see strange real faces, commonly known as "hell" and "crashing evil".
High-level weirdness carries a high pollution value, which directly pollutes the six senses of human beings.
In addition, some children are born with a super strong sixth sense, and they can automatically "see" the strangeness of life in the crowd without being affected by pollution. This is the reason why folk children are prone to ghosts.
Anping is a child with a super strong sixth sense, and it is possible to inspire extraordinary skills without even having to pass through the gifts of the god of death, becoming a young genius and extraordinary person.
It's a pity that his parents and living environment don't know anything about weird and extraordinary beings. Ten or twenty years ago, he was still in the stage of global atheism. Even if he told about the monsters he saw with his own eyes, he would only be regarded as a different kind of little monster.
"I've also been in the plaster room."
Cen Jin raised his eyebrows and asked, "You were only six or seven years old at that time, did the original principal want to harm you?"
Anping tilted his head to look at Cen Jin, felt his ups and downs of anger, and wondered how he could get angry over such a trivial matter.
Anping didn't understand, it wasn't because he thought it was a long time ago that there was no need to be angry now, but because he had become a monster, seeing his ending, why would Cen Jin still be angry about his past experiences?
Due to his autism, coupled with the fact that he has been eccentric since he was a child, and lives in a bizarre world, Anping's thinking mode is quite cold and rational. In a sense, he is indeed a little monster.
Cen Jin saw Anping's doubts, so he explained and instilled: "Children are the flowers of the motherland and the future of the country. Any behavior that hurts children or uses them for profit should be punished."
Anping: "But he was not punished."
Cen Jin: "Didn't I come?"
An Ping and Cen Jin looked at each other, making sure that he was not joking, nor did he intend to please, as if it was only natural for him to punish bad people who hurt children.
He is very strange.
Anping glanced at Cen Jin's yellow hair, and thought that even the color of his hair was strange. Although he would also express indignation and sympathy after hearing what happened to him, it was different from Ning Ma and Xia Zhengmin.
For example, Mama Ning and the others’ indignation was due to their resentment of the principal’s cruel methods, which led to rescue and punishment. In the eyes of the yellow-haired man in front of him, it was only because the principal’s actions were wrong and violated the rules, so he wanted to set things right.
Anping shook his head and said softly, "I sneaked to the plaster room. Because I passed by the art building, a plaster in the window greeted me, so I ran in to play with her."
Cen Jin subconsciously wanted to squat. Considering that the sewage would cover his calves, he lowered his wings, folded them into a zigzag shape and faced downwards, stepped on them, squatted down with his back against the wall, folded his arms and said, "Your mother didn't teach you not to Pay attention to strangers?"
Anping groped towards this side, grabbed a feather and retorted: "It's not a stranger, she's Sister Ningning."
Such a coincidence?The first time Anping went to the plaster room was actually led by Ning Ning in the radio story.
"Sister Ning Ning asked me to hide in the plaster room and watch the whole process of the principal's psychic, and then tell the adults. I didn't go home until the next day, and my mother kept looking for me all night. She never dared to let me go to a ghost school. No one believed what I said.
I want to tell Mama Ning, but Mama Ning is not here.
I was terrified because I thought the principal knew me and hid in the plaster room to watch the whole process.I feel restless every day, feeling that something unfortunate is about to happen.Sure enough, soon, the doctor and pastor also suggested that my mother take me to learn swimming. They said that exercise can not only consume energy but also stimulate the potential of the brain.
Before that, my mother observed the pastor for a whole year and witnessed that the pastor cured patients with serious psychological and mental illnesses. Even the moderate depression caused by my illness improved under the pastor's treatment, so she trusted him very much.
On the pastor's suggestion, my mother resolutely took me to the garden swimming pool regardless of my strong resistance. "
When mentioning the garden swimming pool, Anping showed a trace of fear on his face.
"In other people's eyes, the garden swimming pool has complete supporting facilities, complete rescue facilities, and clean pool water. Adults and children like it. That is summer in the eyes of others. But in my eyes, there are dense corpses piled up at the bottom of the lake, and people step on it. Laughing and playing on the dead body, diving into the bottom of the water to hug and kiss the dead body, diving into the pool, bouncing on the bloated belly of the dead body...
I exuded fear and screamed harshly to remind people, but they all thought I was sick, loud, psychotic, and even my mother looked at me sullenly.
Later, my mother asked the curator of the swimming pool to delay the closing time for one hour, and set aside one hour for me. "
Anping was trembling, without going into details, Cen Jin could guess how terrible horror he had faced alone.
He moved away and signaled Anping to squat together.
Anping imitated Cen Jin's posture and felt quite comfortable.
"My mother died in the pool. I know who the murderer is. It pretended to be my mother. Only my father found out that it was wrong. He wanted to take me away but it was too late. Both I and it were locked in the ward, thinking that it wanted to catch me I was a ghost, and I didn’t know it was just a tool to monitor me until I was tricked into the plaster room for psychics.”
"Insert a question, is there a large number of cults flooding into the strange town at this time?"
"Cults have always existed." Anping uttered a shocking secret: "The whole town has been a large-scale experimental field since the beginning, and new psychic spells have been carved on every piece of land in the town. Four points with the old city are foundation piles, highways, streets and other traffic lines connect them, if you overlook the entire town, you will find that it is a large psychic array.”
Cen Jin rubbed his wrists, recalling the various unusual developments in the town, such as how did the immortality serum that was supposed to be in the holy city of Allahabad appear in the town?Simply because the headmaster made too many new psychic spells in the plaster room?Why did he channel new spells?What is the purpose of the new spells to improve psychics?
Abnormal events such as Baimu, Greenland, Weird Church, and Weird School all happened before the cult invaded Weird Town, and from Anping's mouth, we can know that there were many nascent weirdnesses in the town before the longevity serum came out.
The conditions for the birth of Weird are quite harsh. How can there be so many strange things in Weird Town?
Supplemented with the truth of the town revealed by Anping, a test field, and a large psychic array, it can explain where the strangeness of Tonggui Town comes from.
Just what roles did the original principal, pastor and Feitian cult play in it?
"Who is planning everything behind the scenes? The cult, the priest or the principal?"
"Both. The principal is the pastor and one of the members of the cult."
really.
Cen Jin wasn't too surprised, but had some vague guesses in his mind, such as the plaster room and the church's green area, the white plaster fragments on the surface of the rose garden, the principal who made plaster from failed sacrifices, and the priest who made weird plaster statues, pointing too obviously .
If the above points are considered to be a coincidence for the time being, then Xia Zhengmin also said that the person who supports the current headmaster is the pastor, and the original headmaster took the initiative to give up the position of headmaster.
Both the original principal and the pastor are the behind-the-scenes bosses of the ghost school. The former is a devout Catholic, and the latter is a pastor who sticks to the church and loves the statue of God.
Xindong also said that the green field monster was raised by a priest, and from Anping's narration just now, we can know a less conspicuous information, that is, the ghost school green field has abnormalities very early.
In other words, this green monster was raised in the school during the former principal's reign. How good is his relationship with the pastor before he can give up the school to raise an unknown monster?
Too many overlapping coincidences to explain unless the pastor and principal are the same person.
However, it was unexpected that the pastor was also a member of the cult. He thought that the pastor was an ancient book he found during his reign, and thus came up with the idea of experimenting with new spells.
"If the pastor is also a member of a cult, why is the relationship between the ghost school and the sick building so rigid?"
"The priest unilaterally tore up the agreement and forcibly seized the longevity serum."
"High interests that exceed the spirit of the cooperation contract are indeed likely to bring the risk of breaking the contract, so he gave up his position to a scumbag who killed his girlfriend and then disappeared, changed his face into a church priest and hid behind the scenes to continue manipulating the ghost school. This is also to cut himself and the cult. Relationship?"
"Correct."
"Wait, who instigated you to go to the plaster room for psychic communication when you were locked up in the ward? Could it be the pastor?"
"It's him."
"You said that the sick building is also one of the foundations of the cult, and it is also controlled by the priest?"
"Yes."
"The Priest was also the reason why Guizhen was torn into Gusinaro?"
"He couldn't beat Weird, the Cult, and Ning Ma, so he activated the psychic spell in the town ahead of time, because it was incomplete, and Ning Ma and the others fought desperately, and finally only tore half of the town and entered Kusinara.
This is a very weird place, like the rumored Paradise, but also like the nineteenth floor of hell. "
Anping slumped his legs, sitting neatly, and said to Huang Mao: "Kusinara, the place where the Buddha passed away, is also the place where the cultivation of righteousness is achieved. It is a gray boundary between life and death that is blurred, so the people in the town become very strange. The dead When people come back to life, there is neither human nor ghost, and the living people have removed their human nature, leaving only the driven animal nature, but there are still some dreams to leave here.”
"how about you?"
"I do not know."
"How did you become what you are now?"
Anping is at least a third-level high-risk monster. In the story and what he said just now, he is obviously still a human being.
"The so-called psychic is a scam." An Ping said calmly: "Me, Ning Ma, Brother Xia Zhengmin, Brother Xindong, and Brother Youming were all deceived into the plaster room for our own purposes, and it turned out that the pastor targeted us. He wanted to drain our strength to help him perfect a new psychic spell. It was Brother Youming who completely alienated into a monster and saved us, but we all began to alienate more or less.
I was captured back to the sick building. In order to survive, I devoured ghost substitutes, and was arrested by the doctors to do various experiments. I kept devouring other weird things, and evolved into a water ghoul king, occupying the highest level of the sick building.
Over the years, I couldn't kill the priest, and I could only pin my hopes on those asuras. "
At this time, Ashura broke with the priest.
Cen Jin hesitated, patted An Ping on the shoulder and said, "Personally, with the priest's cunning, King Asura may not be able to do anything to him."
"..." Anping: "Avenge me as promised?"
Cen Jin lacked confidence: "The main reason is that I didn't expect the priest to monopolize the longevity serum...what did he do with the monopoly of the longevity serum?"
Anping was depressed: "I don't know."
Cen Jin said dryly: "I promise I will do my best, but you should not have too much hope. As long as people have no hope, they will not be disappointed."
Anping: "Thank you for your comfort."
Cen Jin waved his hand, suddenly thought of something, and asked, "Who is You Ming?"
Anping: "Mother Ning's colleague."
Cen Jin: "Is he with bright purple hair?"
Anping: "It seems that you know each other."
Cen Jin is just guessing. He only knows that Purple Hair came out of Guizhou Town, and is of the same nature as Baimu Nu, but he still doesn't know what role he plays. He feels that this person has a very low sense of existence.
He put the feathers back, scratched his neck and cheeks, and reorganized the story to the timeline of the whole incident in the town. First, the cult headed by the priest used the town as a test field, and the town's foundation was used as a large-scale psychic spell. It should be To summon the rumored holy city Allahabad.
At this time, the pastor was still the headmaster of the ghost school. He used ghost schools, sick buildings and other places as cover to experiment with another new psychic spell in the plaster room. Xindong said that the pastor perfected this new psychic spell in order to allow dead things life.
This is the obsession of the pastor.
In order to bring life to the dead, he betrayed Asura (that is, the cult) and swallowed the sap of longevity. However, Asura devoted a lot of energy, money and manpower to the sap of longevity, so he would definitely not let the priest go.
So the new principal took over, the priest hid in the church, and the news of the release of the immortality serum attracted the headquarters of the cult, official institutions, and other scattered sects to gather in the strange town and activate the psychic array in advance.
The two stories of Baimu girl and psychic basically happened during this period.
Cen Jin: "What was that white face floating in the water just now?"
Anping: "The corpse servant is also something made by the sick building, and it is actually a variant of the water ghoul."
One big and one small squatted on the black gold wings and fell silent. The water level of the sewage rose. After a while, Anping asked Cen Jin if he knew the human beings in the room at the top of the stairs. Worshiping ghosts to control ghosts, the result was backlash.
Cen Jin said 'Oh,' and replied that he knew him but he wasn't familiar with it, and asked him what was in the locked room and whether the sewage could be stopped.
Anping raised his hand and pushed it forward, the iron door opened suddenly, revealing the crowded white faces inside, it turned out that all the corpse servants had been driven inside.
"At this time of day every day, I must flood the highest floor with sewage to ensure that the inside and outside are polluted by me, so that the Asuras will not take the opportunity to come up."
"I think you can stop, because all the Asuras in the sick building have already set off to go to the ghost school." Cen Jin dipped into the water, folded his wings and said, "I have to go to the ghost school before the Asuras arrive at the ghost school." One step to church."
"take me."
"Let me say something first. The pastor is not in the church. I rushed there to let the relocated humans take refuge in the church." Cen Jin raised his wings and said, "In the entire ghost town, only the church is the most dangerous and safest, so I have to Get rid of the risk factors first."
Anping was puzzled.
Cen Jin waved his hand and was about to say something when suddenly the wall behind him exploded, gravel splashed everywhere, sewage flowed down the broken hole, and an alloy fist blade about 1.5 meters high was inserted straight into Cen Jin just now In the squatting position, the sharp blade was burning with raging flames.
He looked at the slightly familiar fist blade, his right eyelid twitched ominously, and turned to look at the hole at the end of the corridor. The white light made Cen Jin squint his eyes, and after he got used to it, he saw clearly the two figures that appeared out of nowhere at the hole.
A man and a woman. The former wears a white coat and glasses, male and female, and the latter wears a black dress and sari, with a gorgeous appearance.
Anping said beside him: "The man is the dean, I don't know the woman."
Luo Hu recognized Huang Mao at a glance: "What a coincidence, isn't it? Acquaintance."
Huang Mao raised his eyes: "Who are you?"
Luo Hu sneered: "There's no point in pretending to be stupid." She raised her hand, shook the fist blade twice, and flew back into her hand with a 'whoosh' sound. "If you don't know me, don't you know this Qatar?"
The fist blade is an unpopular weapon of ancient Bharat, and its name is Qatar.
"I'm asking the dean." Huang Mao looked at the spotless dean and said, "You are not human."
The dean took out white gloves from his pocket, put them on slowly, nodded and said, "Heavenly Man: Di Shitian."
Huang Mao pulled out the two feathered blades, heard the words and asked: "When did the heavenly beings and Asura collude together?"
Di Shitian: "There are so many things you don't know, there's no need to understand everything."
Luo Hu took a step forward: "Give me the yellow hair, I will kill him with my own hands!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his cheeks were covered with strange black runes, and the sound of a bug breaking its shell was ten times magnified from his back. Four bloody arms burst out suddenly, and the six-armed Asura King came to kill him with a ferocious face.
The high-raised fist blade rushed straight towards Cen Jin's face with the airflow wrapped in it. The scorching flame at the end of the blade brought high temperature and distorted the air. The wind of the blade lifted the yellow hair on Cen Jin's forehead, revealing calm eyes.
Cen Jin tilted his head, the blade of his fist brushed against his ear, and leaned forward. Just as he was about to pass Rahu, a strong arm suddenly appeared in the sky and slammed forward, heading straight for his face. One hand, five fingers into claws trying to lock his throat, but the back of the head is the tip of a fist blade that goes back and forth, and the other side is trapped by the wall, unable to avoid it.
Surrounded by three sides, the way to survive was blocked, Cen Jin didn't panic at all, swung his powerful waist, and quickly avoided the fist blade on the back of his head. While being held by the wrist by the side hand, he held his thumb back, and then yanked hard, punched The blade aimed at the oncoming arm, Luo Hu's face changed, and he was eager to withdraw, but the attack was too fast, and the fist blade pierced one of the arms before he could move in time.
Then, Cen Jin broke off the thumb of Luo Hu's third hand.
Luo Hui's eyes were fierce, he held back the severe pain, grabbed Cen Jin tightly so that he could not break free, drew out his fist blade and stabbed heavily at Cen Jin's Tianling Gai, but Cen Jin didn't intend to run away at all, instead he took the initiative to hit him with his arm The sharp blade used the same method to restrain and approach Rahu, then raised his right hand high, and cut Rahu's throat with the feather blade with lightning speed.
.
A large amount of hot blood spewed out, half of Luo Hu's throat was cut, his mouth made a grunting sound, his eyes were full of disbelief, and gradually lost their light, and the hands that restrained Cen Jin gradually became soft and weak.
The next moment, the yellow-haired figure was suddenly reflected in the eyes that lost their light, and the hanging arms were suddenly tense. Six arms were raised together, and a fist was aimed at the most vulnerable part of the human body. Cen Jin was hit in the chest, and the fishy sweetness suddenly surged Looking up at his throat, he couldn't help but look up, and saw Luo Hu smiling ferociously, and the hideous wound on his neck had healed visibly with the naked eye.
"You are a human being, and I am an immortal god."
Bang, bang, bang... Luo Hu punched Cen Jin's face hard, and the strong blow directly shattered all the walls behind him. The blade of his fist was aimed at his heart, he lifted it high and dropped it heavily, but he heard her arrogantly lying——
"There is a world of difference between us!"
Cen Jin's pupils shrank sharply, his left hand formed a palm, and his right hand formed a fist. He used his palm as a shield to block Luo Hu's ankle bone, and used his fist as a spear. Like a meteor falling to the ground, he hit the ground suddenly with a 'crack' sound, and his ankle bone shattered. He hit the knees and toes with the bones, smashed all the bones from the soles of the feet, ankles to the knees, and then grabbed Luo Hu's ankles with his backhand, dragged him down and threw him hard.
Without giving any chance to breathe, Cen Jin was as fast as lightning and as fast as thunder. He teleported to Luo Hu in the blink of an eye and shattered her six arms.
Cen Jin stared at the breathless Luo Hu and counted the time silently. About 30 seconds later, Luo Hu suddenly gasped, his broken neck and hand bones were recovering quickly, and the fist blade not far away was about to move. With the aura of overwhelming mountains and gorge, the blade came at a fast speed, and rushed straight to Cen Jin's back.
Cen Jin didn't move his whole body, and didn't turn his head. He just turned his wrist and waved his palm, and the fist blade that seemed to be commanding thousands of horses to gallop was easily slapped away. Bouncing deep into the ceiling.
Luo Hu gasped, his scalp was numb, and he said in shock, "You actually hid your strength before?"
Cen Jin: "Because you are too strong, your life will be shortened."
The brain configuration is too high and the body can't keep up. Every time I use it, I feel like I'm burning my life.
Luo Hu didn't know the reason for his strength, he just thought he was showing off, and it was ironic to what he said just now. As an immortal god, he was easily defeated by despised humans, which is not ironic.
"You can't kill me." Luo Hu smiled brightly, maliciously: "Humans are the most fragile and low-intelligence creatures. No matter how many times you try, you can't kill the gods."
Cen Jin stood up expressionlessly, looking down at Rahu. The walls on the left and right were almost destroyed. Behind him was the struggle between Di Shitian and Anping. The ghost king was so entangled with him that he couldn't be separated.
"It's a pity that you are not the Almighty God."
Gravity masters.Gravity floats.
The black-gold feather blade on the back was crumbling, and it was pulled out with a 'swish--'. Thousands of feather blades were fan-shaped, shining a cold light, floating neatly behind the yellow hair, with the blade tip facing down, aiming at the Rahu.
"King Asura has three heads and six arms, thousands of heads and thousands of arms, but I think you can only have three heads and six arms with angry eyes at most. Do you think you have a fourth head?"
Luo Hu's cheeks twitched and stiffened, his pupils shrank sharply, and he looked at the fist blade on the ceiling imperceptibly. He sneered at Cen Jin, and before he could output, he heard Cen Jin continue to say: "If Ashura is an immortal god, why bother planning to kill him by dozens of people? For a hundred years, just for a drop of immortality serum that I don't know the truth of?"
"The way you became kings of Ashura is to trample on human lives and seize human beliefs. How can you still look down on human beings? You think highly of yourself, are arrogant, blind and ignorant.
So in the final analysis, both the Asura king and the celestial beings are just expelled by the gods and despised by humans—”
"To shut up."
"heresy."
"Shut up!!"
Luo Hu stared at the yellow hair against the light, watched in horror as he suddenly grinned with joy, and suddenly realized that this human being took pleasure in her fear, broken defense, hatred and powerless weakness.
This human being is taking pleasure in the dignity and pain of her Asura king!
How dare he!
Rahu's eyes cracked.
"Farewell, blind and foolish heretics."
As soon as the words fell, thousands of feather blades pulled out from Asura's mechanical wings fell to the ground. The scene was like a hail of bullets. Without exception, without any mistakes, they pierced into Rahu's body one after another, turning the Asura king into a hornet's nest.
A veritable death toll.
Cen Jin, who was against the light, stood still, with a grim expression, clasped his hands together, and murmured softly: "This is the way for the innocent villagers in Pingxi Village to truly rest in peace."
