Urban Oddities: Soul Contract

Chapter 34 The Terminator

Zheng Chuanchuan was the first to light up the flashlight and shine it directly on the door.

He was looking forward to seeing someone or some monster. The opponent who can be seen is better than the one who cannot be touched.

but no.

The door was open, and it was quiet.

Something was wrong, Yan Shi told them to wait, and said that he would go and have a look, but Chu Moxie stopped him and wanted to go with him.

"Let's go together, don't get separated." Du Jiajun said.

Zheng Chuanchuan patted the big spider: "Go, go and have a look."

The big spider remained motionless, its eyes gleamingly reflected the gate, and suddenly it took a big step to block Yan Shi.

"Team leader, don't go there, I'm afraid there is danger over there." Chu Ganjiang pulled his brother with one hand and Yan Shi with the other.

Where is the danger?

Yan Shi really doesn't understand.

When he fixedly looked at the gate, Huo Minghai also fixedly looked at it.

Something is moving.

what is that?

"Forget it, let's move on, we're almost there." Yan Shi just turned around and saw Huo Minghai's eyes widened, staring straight at his back.

Yan Shi's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately turned around to look!

but……

Is there anything?

Yan Shi was about to ask, when Huo Minghai yelled and raised his finger to the door.

Du Jiajun shone the wolf-eye flashlight, and under the strong light, the gate was brightly lit.

"Hand! There is a hand!!"

But the other people stared at it for a long time like a light bulb, and their blank expressions made Huo Minghai's heart sink.

They can't see it?

"Where is the hand?" Yan Shi was still researching.

In the bright white light, a hand was very conspicuously pawing at the door, and half of the head of the female corpse that should have been glued to the circuit board had already been poked out!

Huo Minghai's legs trembled, and he fell limp in Du Jiajun's arms.

If you take a closer look at the situation, you will know that something is wrong!

"Go! Go! Chuanchuan, keep your flashlight on! Tell me what you see!" Yan led the way, Du Jiajun supported Huo Minghai and stumbled along, the big spider ran at the end, and Zheng Chuanchuan sat on its back and stared at it. At the gate, the light of the flashlight swayed as the big spider ran, but the gate was still quiet. He really couldn't see where the hand Huo Minghai was talking about was.

Du Jiajun put his arms around the trembling Huo Minghai, and couldn't help but look back.

"You... did you see anything?" Zheng Chuanchuan was sweating.

Du Jiajun shook his head, but he didn't see anything either.

"The corpse..." Huo Minghai whimpered, "The corpse... crawled over..."

Everyone knew which corpse he was talking about, but...

how can that be? ? ?

In Yan Shi's heart, a very strange feeling suddenly rose up.

"Don't be afraid! You'll be safe in the control room!" Yan Shi said loudly as if trying to dispel anxiety.

"What kind of safety method?!" Chu Moxie was also made nervous by them.

"The control room is the strongest place in the entire cabin! No one can get in without a secret order!"

Turning the corner, the corridor came to an end, Yan Shi raised his hand and slapped the wall, the edge of the illuminated button outlined hundreds of large and small buttons, the touched button lit up, and quickly went dark after releasing it , The strict technique is extremely fast, and the light and dark of the wall are connected into one piece.

Huo Minghai's body trembled suddenly, staring at the direction of the big spider, struggling to back up.

"Ming Hai, don't be afraid." Du Jiajun held him tightly in his arms, stared at the empty corridor, and retreated to the wall step by step.

General Chu Gan and Chu Moxie raised their swords and blocked them from left to right.

"Hehe, that... crawled behind me?" The corners of Zheng Chuanchuan's mouth twitched, and cold sweat broke out. Being stared at by them, it seemed that his back was really chilly? !

"Okay!" Yan pressed the last graphic, the wall lit up with green light, and the door slowly slid open.

It was pitch black inside the door!

"Wait!" Yan Shi raised his hand to block them, stood by the door, and shone in with a flashlight.

The space is very large, like an upside-down half sphere, Yan Yan scanned it around with a flashlight, and gestured for them to come in. After everyone entered, the door closed silently.

Huo Minghai's legs went limp, and he sat down on the ground. Du Jiajun handed him a bottle of water.

"Wait here, I'll turn on the light." Yan Shi walked along the wall.

Zheng Chuanchuan has always been very concerned about the door. After entering, the flashlight in his hand has never been removed from the door.

Huo Minghai drank half of the pot of water, and finally regained his composure. He watched Yan Shi go further and further away, and before he knew it, the light in Yan Shi's hand turned into a hazy dot.

"There seems to be something wrong, is the room that big?" Huo Minghai turned on his home flashlight.

The orange light only circled a small area.

After waiting for several minutes, Huo Minghai couldn't help shouting: "Team leader!"

Yan Yan's flashlight flashed in his direction.

Great, it turns out he's fine.

Huo Minghai heaved a sigh of relief, and immediately, an uneasy thought came to him.

Why doesn't Yan Shi speak?

"How about... let's go and have a look?"

When there was no response, Huo Minghai shone it with a flashlight.

Du Jiajun's place was empty, there was nothing...

Huo Minghai turned around suddenly, and the orange light shone on the wall. After the door was closed, it almost merged with the wall. If you don't look carefully, you can't see it.

Zheng Chuanchuan was not there.

Big Spider and Zheng Chuanchuan, who were supposed to be guarding the rear, went somewhere!

calm down!Huo Minghai quickly pinched his thigh and scanned the surroundings with a flashlight, comforting himself that Du Jiajun and the others just went to check the environment.

But, did they actually check the environment?

Huo Minghai himself didn't believe it.

Even if Zheng Chuanchuan and the others went to check the environment, Du Jiajun would definitely stay with him.

Unfortunately, they were all gone.

"Hello—where are you—?!" Huo Minghai yelled loudly, but of course, he didn't get any answer.

There was a flash of light in the distance, Yan Shi walked back slowly with the flashlight, Huo Minghai rushed to meet him, and shouted loudly while running: "They are all gone! They were fine just now, but suddenly they disappeared!"

Yan Shi was still walking unhurriedly.

"This place is too dark! I don't know where they went..." Huo Minghai stopped while talking.

Didn't Yan Shi turn on the light?

Where's the lamp?

"Yan Shi?" Huo Minghai called out tentatively, but when there was no response, he increased the volume again, "Yan Shi?!"

Against the light, Huo Minghai only saw a blurry figure.

The figure didn't say a word, and was still walking unhurriedly. The unchanged pace made Huo Minghai's scalp tingle. Is the person who came here really strict?Or... something else?

Huo Minghai stepped back step by step, backed up, turned around and ran, he didn't know where there was a door in the sealed space, and he forgot to mark the door just now, he groped the wall with his hands randomly, the wall was flat , The closed door can't even feel a gap. Looking back, the distance of "Strictness" is even closer!Huo Minghai had no choice but to suffocate his strength, buried his head and continued to flee, suddenly there was a light in front of his eyes, Huo Minghai looked up, and almost vomited his bile.

"Yan Shi" came to the front at some point, holding a flashlight, and walking in his direction unhurriedly!

What about the "strict" in the back?

Huo Minghai looked back, and there was only darkness behind him. He had no choice but to turn around and run back. However, something even more terrifying happened. Huo Minghai looked ahead, and his body froze suddenly.

The light of the flashlight slowly appeared in the darkness, and "Yan Shi" appeared in front again, walking towards him!

Huo Minghai yelled and ran towards the center of the room, but he soon discovered that no matter which direction he chose, "Yan Shi" holding a flashlight could always appear in front of him, and the distance was getting closer and closer, and there was no way to avoid it avoid!

He didn't know what to do, he retreated to the wall unknowingly, his only thought was to find the door and leave this room!He slapped his hand on the wall and fumbled around, hit the ground by mistake, and pressed a square.

A dozen meters away, a door slid open on the wall!

But Huo Minghai couldn't be happy.

"Yan Shi" passed by the door, and was coming step by step. If he wanted to go to the door, he would definitely meet "Yan Shi"!

Huo Minghai stared at Yan Shi, and reached into his backpack to keep touching. When "Yan Shi" approached, Huo Minghai let out a roar, grabbed a hard object and threw it over his head. He escaped or was hit by the hit, he didn't care to watch, ran wildly, deliberately made a detour to avoid "Yan Shi", unexpectedly he was caught by him halfway, Huo Minghai's mind was blank, and he put the backpack All the Xu Fu Ji in the movie were thrown out, and the pineapple crisp girl smashed "Yan Shi" all over, and "Yan Shi" gave an angry fuck, and slapped him with a slap. Huo Minghai was beaten so dizzy that he fell to the ground all of a sudden. , was being pulled by the collar, and before he recovered, there were several slaps on his face, Huo Minghai felt his lips and teeth were fishy, ​​and the place where he was beaten quickly started to hurt.

"Are you awake? Ah?" "Yan Shi" in front of him made Zheng Chuanchuan's voice.

Huo Minghai was confused for a while, and as his eyes focused, he finally saw Zheng Chuanchuan's face clearly.

Seeing his companion, Huo Minghai almost burst into tears, threw himself on Zheng Chuanchuan and yelled, Zheng Chuanchuan smeared pineapple cakes on his forehead, and cursed: "You boy, you are running around like a fart!"

"Can you not run! Almost... Huh...?"

It was still pitch black, except for a few flashlights lying on the ground.

"What about Yan Shi?"

"He's there." Zheng Chuanchuan shined a light on it, and Yan was a few meters away, facing the wall in a daze, not even knowing that the light had fallen off.

Zheng Chuanchuan moved the flashlight and saw two men, Chu Ganjiang and Chu Moxie both kneeling on the ground, murmuring something, but there was no one in front of them.

"They seem to have seen a hallucination." Zheng Chuanchuan said, and gave Huo Minghai a chestnut, "Including you! Do you know the most serious thing?! They are quiet, and you are running around yelling! You also litter thing!"

"phantom?"

Huo Minghai stood up with his head covered, Zheng Chuanchuan shot in another direction, Du Jiajun bent his bow and set an arrow, pointed at the air, but spoke a strange language.

"What is he saying?"

"I don't know, it sounds like a northern dialect." Zheng Chuanchuan gestured to Huo Minghai, and the two trotted towards the nearest Yanshi. Yanshi's face was serious, and he was talking to the wall. The veins on his forehead stood out. It sounded like he was arguing with someone, and the more he talked, the more excited he was, and finally he punched the wall, his hand was bleeding, but he didn't feel any pain at all. After observing for a while, Zheng Chuanchuan suddenly kicked Yan Shi with a sweeping kick Fell to the ground, before Yan Shi had time to get up, Zheng Chuanchuan pinned him to the ground and slapped him several times from left to right.

"Damn, your hand hurts!" Zheng Chuanchuan covered his hand.

——Damn, then you stop!

Yan Shi woke up when he fell to the ground, took a few slaps in vain, was holding his stomach full of anger, and couldn't help yelling in the dialect of his hometown.

"You come and fight." Zheng Chuanchuan's hand hurts and he strikes.

Huo Minghai stretched out his hand.

"Keep going! Be more vigorous! Don't stop!" Yan Shi stared at him almost to spit out two knives.

Huo Minghai touched Yan Shi's face tremblingly: "Leader, your face has become more handsome."

Zheng Chuanchuan: "You're welcome."

Yan Shi: "..."

At this time, Chu Ganjiang and Chu Moxie were kneeling in front of their parents.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, the famous sword maker Gan Jiang and his wife Mo Xie were arguing over two newly cast swords. The couple named the swords with their own names and wanted to dedicate them to the king. The husband said he would give one and leave one for his son. , the wife refused, saying that the two swords were born, and if they don't offer both, the king will be furious.

The Chu couple disagreed, and they quarreled for a long time to no avail. Moxie, the general, tried his best to persuade them. Although they knew the outcome, they still wanted to change the fate of their parents from the bottom of their hearts. It's just a talking sword.

The wife got angry and left with her hands, leaving only the husband sighing and touching the sword.

"You are all my painstaking effort, how can I be willing to give it to the king?"

Gan Jiang and Mo Xie broke down in tears.

"Come with me." The man who made the sword stood up and waved to them, "Come here."

Snapped!

Chu Moxie suddenly tilted his head. Before Chu Ganjiang could figure out what happened, he heard a slap on his face, and it hurt hotly. The pain was not enough. After several consecutive slaps, Chu Ganjiang finally opened his eyes.

"Hmm..." Ganjiang Chu covered his face, "Why?"

"Touch you." Yan Shi looked at him blushing.

Chu Gan turned his head away: "I have someone in my heart."

Yan Shi: "...fuck!"

Zheng Chuanchuan turned his head and shouted, "Mo Xie is awake too!"

Chu Moxie covered her face and looked around blankly.

Yan Shi had already turned on the light, and the soft light illuminated the entire space.

"We were all tricked. You two almost hit the wall when you saw the illusion." Yan Shi explained.

"Didn't you just hit the wall with your fist?" Zheng Chuanchuan said.

Yan Yan looked at his hand, the medicine was applied on his hand, and the bleeding had stopped.

Several men woke up, and there was only one left.

Du Jiajun was holding a bow and talking very fast. The big spider was lying on the side. I don't know what he saw. Bean-sized teardrops fell on the ground one by one, forming a puddle of water!

The magnetic field here is weird, unknowingly creating illusions in memory, and even the big spider is affected!

"Why are you okay?" Yan Shi glanced at Zheng Chuanchuan.

Zheng Chuanchuan held his stomach with a green face. After a series of physical labor, his stomach hurt again.

"He's about to give birth, it's too late for the pain, can he still be recruited?" Chu Gan just finished speaking when an arrow flew past his neck.

Du Jiajun continued to speak into the air, and suddenly frowned, he drew two arrows from the quiver and buckled them on the string, and drew a full arc. on the wall.

Yan Shi rolled over to Du Jiajun's feet, lifted his foot to sweep, Du Jiajun hit the big spider heavily, Huo Minghai made a move himself, rushed forward and squeezed him hard.

"oops!"

"woke up?"

"pain."

Huo Minghai touched him: "Well, just wake up."

Du Jiajun stretched out his arm to show him: "It's swollen!"

Huo Minghai looked at Zheng Chuanchuan.

Zheng Chuanchuan hummed twice: "There is no bleeding, no need to take medicine."

"Ming Hai, what do you think we should do?"

"What do you want me to do?"

"You are responsible."

"How to be responsible?"

"Dear."

The big spider couldn't bear it anymore, shook Du Jiajun off the ground, and kicked him away with a flick of his legs.

Yan Shi leaned on the wall and touched it, and the big spider crawled over, watching with bright eyes.

"Are you awake?" Yan Shi stroked its head, "If you run out of water in the future, just cry a few times."

The big spider poked its claws on Yan Shi's buttocks, and Yan Shi fell to the ground clutching his buttocks. Zheng Chuanchuan hurried over to check. The big spider's technique was excellent, and the injection effect was achieved, but no blood was seen.

"It's a good thing it wasn't Du Jiajun's arrow, or else..." Huo Minghai wrinkled his face. Seeing the big spider staring at the wall, he also looked over curiously.

Arrows are ordinary arrows, and of course they cannot penetrate walls.

Strangely, the place where the arrow hit gradually spread out a dark color, as if a few drops of ink had dripped on the paper.

When Zheng Chuanchuan touched the black part, it felt smooth, not like liquid.

"Team leader, what do you think?" Chu Moxie asked.

Yan Shi motioned for them to back away, he limped up to the wall, pressed a row of buttons, a small opening was opened in the wall, and opened automatically with a snap, revealing the wiring inside the wall.

When Yan Shi said that the ship was a living thing, everyone was mentally prepared, especially Zheng Chuanchuan, who was a doctor, could almost imagine the blood circulation system under the wall.

However, when the wall was opened and what was inside was seen, everyone exclaimed, even Yan Shi's eyes widened, and he stepped back stiffly for several steps.

They never imagined that the inside of the wall actually looked like this!

A bunch of blood vessels trapped together, with the pulsation, the bright red liquid inside is being transported one by one. Huo Minghai doesn't know whether the blood vessels of the ship can be called blood vessels, but he can see that the tubes that transport the liquid produce There was a sudden change, and the glowing green light emitted was exactly the same as the divine tree!

"Oops! Assimilated!" Yan Shi gasped.

During the long growth process, the sacred tree actually assimilated with the ship!

The wall is the skin of the sacred tree, so it was hit by an arrow coated with mud and turned into a pitch black color!

The entire cabin has become a part of the sacred tree!

Yan Shi quickly closed the wall and ran to the console. Following his operation, grids of different sizes were projected in the air, rows of dazzling characters flashed by at an extremely fast speed, and Yan Shi didn't even look at them. Pressing the keys vigorously, Huo Minghai had an illusion that if Yan Shi was in front of a piano, he would have played Beethoven.

"I see!" Zheng Chuanchuan slapped his head and said to Huo Minghai, "Do you still remember seeing your mother? That was the hallucination given to you by the sacred tree! It probably saw that you were not attracted, so it changed its method. The purpose is to make you hit the wall!"

"So what if we touched the wall? We touched the wall, isn't it all right?" General Chu said.

"No..." Du Jiajun looked at Zheng Chuanchuan, "The ship is assimilated with the sacred tree, but the structure of the cabin is different from that of the sacred tree. It can't replace the sacred tree to eat, but..." Du Jiajun paused, his expression became very strange, Apparently he couldn't believe his speculation.

"Shenshu can control everything in the cabin at will?" Yan Shi manipulated the buttons without raising his head.

"For example?" Zheng Chuanchuan was dubious.

"For example..." Du Jiajun pointed behind Zheng Chuanchuan.

A hole was opened in the wall, and a branch protruded in.

Yan Shi pressed a button, and the wall suddenly closed, cutting the branch in half abruptly!

"Fortunately, this is an independent system." Yan Shi wiped off his sweat, but just as he was wiping away, several openings were opened in the wall, and the branches protruding in were staring at them.

"Can't the energy source be cut off?" Chu Moxie threw out his whip sword, cutting the thin branches into pieces.

Yan Shi motioned them to look to the side, the wall gradually became transparent, and in the center of the room where the branches were entwined, the branches were entangled like a birdcage, covering a small red stone!

"The next door is the power furnace." Yan Shi sighed, "The sacred tree occupies that place, so it is really difficult to cut it off."

Observing closely, Huo Minghai saw that the small red stone was floating in mid-air without reaching the sky or the ground!

"What will happen to the sacred tree if the energy source is cut off?" Du Jiajun asked suddenly.

"It will stop moving." Yan Shi said, "Just like humans, they will fall into a coma without oxygen, and they will die after a long time."

"Is there a door through here?"

"No, this room is completely separated from the other side..." Yan Shi felt something and looked at him, "What do you want?"

"I can shoot it down."

"The power core is very hard, you can't shoot through it."

"I can't shoot it through, but I can push it away from that position, right?" After Du Jiajun finished speaking, the room fell silent, a tree branch sneaked over, and Chu Gan chopped it into pieces with a sword.

"Remove the power core, and the engine can also be stopped, killing two birds with one stone, isn't it?"

The author has something to say:
