"A lot of things." Zheng Yichen threw the life essence in his hand to the woman who looked like a zombie bride. The woman held the small bottle tightly, showing an infatuated look.罽
"I know everything, so come in first." The woman stepped aside and showed the room to Zheng Yichen. This room was pretty ordinary.
There are normal tables and chairs, and even some simple electrical appliances. There is a radio on the table, and the TV set in another place is also of the same age.
"Too ordinary..."
"No one wants to have a bad place where they live."
Uh, are you still a human being? Zheng Yichen looked at the woman who looked like a zombie bride and resisted the urge to ask. He walked in and the woman quickly brought over a teapot.
The tea poured out smelled of jasmine. Zheng Yichen tasted it and found that it tasted pretty good, with a hint of sunshine.
"...Have your relatives never taught you not to eat food from strangers?" Seeing Zheng Yichen's straightforward approach, "Corpse Bride" said curiously.罽
"I told you, but I don't care. I'm curious about how you became like this. Can you explain it?"
The zombie bride didn't care about Zheng Yichen's problem at all: "My name is Alice. The problem with my appearance is caused by some evil spirits. You can understand the cause as a curse or erosion, and I have been trying to find ways to return myself to normal. .”
"Well... a good name." Zheng Yichen's eyes fell on a photo not far away. In the photo, a little girl could be seen. Even though the little girl was wearing thick foundation, she still couldn't hide the gray color. skin.
Next to her was a middle-aged woman who was smiling, but her smile was a little bitter.
"That's my mother." Alice said to Zheng Yichen, who was looking at the photo, "She's dead."
"Did you become like this since you were a child?"
"To be specific, it was in my mother's womb. My mother was an exorcist. She was affected by the power of evil spirits while dealing with evil spirits. At that time, she didn't realize that she was pregnant with me. This is something she regretted for many years. Things."
"Well, okay, let's officially start asking questions." Although Alice didn't mean to be impatient, Zheng Yichen didn't intend to continue on this topic and went directly to the overall situation. It seemed that Alice was not an ordinary person, and the information she could ask was too much.
The first thing I learned about was the medicine field. The medicine field exuded an aura of despair because a large number of corpses, animals and some dead bodies were buried there but no one collected them.
The things cultivated in the medicine field are all negative, that is, a field of despair medicine. Her purpose of cultivating that medicine is to solve her own problems.
Fighting fire with fire... As for the normal methods, Alice's mother had used many normal methods before she was alive, but none of them worked.
After a long illness, she began to use another method.
"My mother taught me a lot of knowledge, but she died because of her profession, so I don't want to be a spiritual exterminator. Even though the influence of evil spirits and mental aberrations on me is very weak, I am among the crowd. It’s a recognized alien, a corpse that can move.”
"So you know those evil spirits very well? That's what I want to know next." Lilith has stored a large amount of information extracted from the evil spirits who went to Hazy City, but that information It is recorded from the perspective of evil spirits.罽
Now he wanted to understand those things from a human perspective.
"...Are you an alien?" Alice looked at Zheng Yichen speechlessly: "You know this from Chinese language classes in elementary school, but you still ask me?"
"Strictly speaking, I'm from another world." Zheng Yichen corrected Alice: "I know very little about this world now, but you don't have to worry, I'm here to do good things."
"Are you serious?" Alice thought of something and signaled Zheng Yichen to wait. After leaving, she came back with an old notebook in her hand.
Something similar to a journal, but obviously not
It is used to write a diary. This thing is to remember the special things that happened on a certain day.
"My mother told me something before she was alive... Well, did you come through a vision?" Alice turned to a page in the notebook and looked at Zheng Yichen, as if she was really looking at an alien. Same: "I always thought this was a legend. My mother was influenced by evil spirits and had hallucinations..."
"You are really filial. The vision is indeed related to another world."
"Then I will look for other visions if I have the chance. Unfortunately, the vision lasts for too short a time, and the place it appears is completely random. It depends on luck." Alice's tone was a little regretful.
"Actually, there is no need to look for visions. If you have the conditions, you can go to the Twilight Church. It is located in the city closest to here... But if you go over there and contact the Twilight Sisters there, the danger you will encounter is It has something to do with your choice."
Zheng Yichen didn't intend to recruit anyone into his gang at first, but the first thing Alice said when she saw him was to praise his beautiful eyes. He didn't know his situation yet? It was probably not just his eyes that she praised but the part of his eyes that related to dusk.
The bartender had told him about this not long ago, and now that he had encountered a practical example, Zheng Yichen thought it would be okay to recommend it.
"I will find out more when I have time."
Then she started to talk to Zheng Yichen about evil spirits and mentally aberrant bodies. Simply put, evil spirits have brains, while mental aberrations rely more on instinctive activities. Mentally aberrant bodies have difficulty communicating, but evil spirits can communicate normally. It's not difficult, and they can lurk and disguise themselves.
Alice also shared many ways to weaken and deal with those beings with Zheng Yichen. Zheng Yichen thought for a while and said, "I need your method of cultivating those herbs and some knowledge. How about giving me a copy?"
"What do you want these for? Learning those things is a waste of time. If you need some props, I can make them directly for you."
"I have two witches who study magic in my family."
"Witch? The one with a pointed hat, like an old witch?" This is the image of a witch that Alice thought of when her mother told her stories when she was a child.
"No, they are beautiful."
"Beautiful..." Alice looked at her dead gray palms: "I should be very beautiful too. You can get the knowledge if you want it, but it will take some time to write it down. I still have use for those notes."
"That's no problem. You can pick it up when I get back. Do you mind if I give you a physical examination?" Now that he understands everything he needs to know, Zheng Yichen has no reason to stay in this place.
"Are you a warrior or a researcher?"
"Soldier, I brought a lot of stuff, maybe it will help your physical condition." When Zheng Yichen looked at Alice's body through thermal vision, he felt a sense of instant vision.
In the last world, he was almost killed by a big explosion and was thrown into hell, half alive and half dead.
"You don't care about some things, but I care more. You are still a stranger to me." Alice had no intention of letting Zheng Yichen touch her.
Zheng Yichen didn't force himself on this: "Goodbye then. I may come back in ten days and a half or maybe a month or two. I hope I can get what I want by then."
"Aren't you... worried about me running away? What you gave me is worth far more than what I'm paying for now." She didn't touch the essence of life directly, but feeling the breath of life after touching the bottle made her feel... He truly came to life.
There are very few things that can have an impact on her physical condition, let alone something that can have an effect simply by the influence of breath. This is what she dreams of.
"Do you think someone who can take out this thing casually will care about this loss? The thing in your hand is the essence of life. To be honest, I have this kind of stuff in my body."
"..." Alice looked at Zheng Yichen in surprise and said, "Although I don't know what you are going to do, I think you need a companion who knows the world very well."
"Are you too realistic?" Zheng Yichen twitched the corner of his mouth, surprised by the reality of this "zombie bride".
Alice's expression was indeed very calm: "I really want to get myself back to normal and no longer be a moving corpse in everyone's eyes."
"No, what I do is very dangerous. To be honest, I am here to save the world. I have to fight a group of extremely vicious people. Do you want to laugh?"
Alice nodded: "My emotional reaction is very weak, but this time I really want to laugh."
"Then just laugh. Just remember the agreement you made with me. It doesn't matter if you treat me like a lunatic." Zheng Yichen waved his hands and prepared to leave. Saving the world is a fantasy. Who would believe it unless a real disaster is imminent?
Therefore, Zheng Yichen doesn't lie or bother to explain more in this regard. If he believes it, he will believe it. If he doesn't believe it, he will pull it off.罽
"Wait, assuming you really want to save the world, you might be able to use these things." Alice took out two black wooden balls from some small leather bags she carried with her.
There were twisted carvings on the wooden ball, which looked like the face of some evil spirit. When Zheng Yichen touched it, he felt that it was cold, like metal lumps that had been frozen in the refrigerator.
Zheng Yichen's behavior of directly taking this thing made Alice shake her head: "You are really fearless."
"Hahahaha, because I'm very strong. How to use this thing? Just hit people or not?"
"Just hit someone. Use this thing as a grenade. But the best way to achieve the best effect is to stuff it directly into the enemy's mouth. Remember to use it from ten meters away."
Zheng Yichen put away the two black wooden balls. The energy and intensity level of this world were not as good as those in the Sky Wheel world, but the energy level was quite close to that world. The intensity level was much weaker. Compared with Qi Xiangyun's world is weaker.
But these are all within Zheng Yichen's acceptance range. His current physical strength is top-notch in the world, and coupled with the physical performance coefficient, he is a humanoid super creature. The Tyrannosaurus Rex is the spirit of him.罽
"Okay, I'm leaving." After leaving Alice's home, Zheng Yichen rode to his destination. As for the information Alice gave him, Lilith had already recorded it, and the other party was still in Lilith. Within the energy monitoring range, Lilith has learned about Alice's physical condition through energy monitoring.
Although it is not as detailed as direct contact inspection, it is not much different.
Lilith said to Zheng Yichen: "BOSS, you can think of that woman's physique as a human-ghost hybrid. The non-human and abnormal parts have been completely integrated into her body. This is different from your original yin-yang imbalance, BOSS. She is an innate It’s just like this, it’s hard to change the day after tomorrow.”
"Oh? Then there is a way?"
"The best solution is to change through the path of Dusk. With the power of Dusk, it is very easy to change everything."
"Dusk, that is indeed a good place. Generally speaking, there is nothing we can do to solve it here, right?"
Lilith nodded: "That's right, according to my calculations, even if BOSS gives him the essence of life, she can only temporarily return to normal. Her own vitality itself is in a state of deterioration, and the essence of life can provide her with A large amount of normal vitality, but that part of the vitality will be contaminated sooner or later."
"That's really pitiful. What I was thinking just now was that I was in the state of becoming a tyrannosaurus rex, and Alice was directly an evil spirit."
"BOSS, your description is very offensive, but this explanation can also be explained. She was affected by the power of evil spirits when she was still in the womb, giving her extremely abnormal vitality."
There is nothing wrong with saying that Alice is a hybrid of human and evil spirit, although this situation is caused by external forcing factors.
"How about these two things?" Zheng Yichen took out the two black wooden balls.
Lilith immediately replied: "I detected a weak evil spirit message in it. This thing is suspected to be made of evil spirits or mental aberrations."
"Also a child from the underworld
Things? "Zheng Yichen was about to stuff this thing into the weapon box of the motorcycle, but after thinking about Lilith's situation, he asked, "Do you mind?"
"The weapon box itself stores weapons. Boss, you don't need to ask me for any advice in this regard." Lilith, who was sitting on Zheng Yichen's shoulders, shook her legs: "According to the analysis, I can strengthen it, but inside The power may quickly get out of control after being taken out again."
"That doesn't matter." Zheng Yichen put the two black wooden balls in the weapon box: "These things are used directly after taking them out. We are going to do something big soon."
Find the Chongling organization and then kill them, plan?
You don't need so many plans in life. You just need to push forward as long as you are overwhelmed by strength. This is a matter of calculation and unintentional. The people over there never imagined that a ruthless person would go over and stir up trouble at this time.
In Alice's home, this woman who looked like a zombie bride couldn't wait to use the essence of life. Even though Zheng Yichen said that this thing might cause distortion after excessive use, she didn't care much about it.
distortion?
Mentally aberrant bodies can cause distortions in people, and evil spirits can also cause distortions in people, but those problems have no impact on her. She can directly go through some special environments that are difficult for ordinary people and exorcists to enter and exit, and even feel like a fish in water.
She can also go through environments that are difficult for evil spirits to contact. All this makes her very special, but Alice never likes this specialness. If she has this specialness and has a normal appearance, then she will I am happy to enjoy this special convenience.罽
She ground a small amount of life essence into a finer powder, and added this part of the powder to a potion that she decided on after considering the choice for a long time.
Then Alice came to her bedroom and came to a mirror covered with a piece of cloth. With slightly trembling arms, she drank the light red potion in the bottle. She grabbed the piece of cloth covering the mirror. hesitated.
But soon she saw that the color of the back of her hand turned white and the skin gradually became delicate. She opened her eyes wide and immediately pulled off the piece of cloth and saw what she had dreamed of.
"This... this is so wonderful, and it comes too late." When she was a child, she had a dream of taking a normal photo with her mother. As for her father... her father was also a spiritual exterminator and died when she was still in her mother's womb. During the battle that was affected.
Alice reached out and touched her delicate skin. Her hair color was still gray, and her lower eyelids were still light black like smoky makeup, but this no longer affected her normal appearance. She was walking in the city. No one on the streets would treat her like a moving corpse.
A monster.
Soon, Alice noticed a few gray-black marks on the back of her hand. She frowned and breathed out softly: "It seems that the potion still needs improvement."
The bottle of potion brought her extra vitality and neutralized some of her own problems, but this neutralization could only last for a short period of time. If more life essence was used, this period could be extended.
It's not necessary. The amount of life essence she accidentally obtained is very small and cannot be consumed so casually. What she wants is to completely solve her own problems, not to experience it temporarily.
No, it was because she had experienced the feeling of returning to normal that she longed for a complete return to normal.
After packing her things, Alice took out a cloak from the closet and put it on herself, and took out an ID from the drawer.
Although she is regarded as a monster because of her appearance, her identity is actually Miaohong, a descendant of a spiritual exterminator who has made great contributions to mankind. It is not easy for her to live in the city, but it is not easy for her to go to the city. What a difficult thing.
But she could only go there during the day and had to leave the city before nightfall.
This made her even less interested in becoming a spiritual exterminator. Even if these situations could be improved after inheriting her parents' profession, some things had already caused harm and impact to her. She had completely given up the idea of improving this situation. .罽
She just wants to recover herself first
She just needs to return to normal, and then live a good life based on her own knowledge. The spirit slayer has nothing to do with her. On the contrary, she will live a good life because of the knowledge she has mastered about the spirit slayer.
She had to experience everything she had never experienced before, but she definitely didn't get it as a spiritual exterminator.
After packing her things, she quickly left her home. It was a long way to the city from here. She wanted to visit the Dusk Church that Zheng Yichen had mentioned.
