"This is... the body of a child..."
Seeing the scene in the garbage bag, Lin Tanying's doubts not only remained unsolved, but became increasingly clouded.
"What did Deaf Sheep do in his lifetime? There are actually two corpses in this room. It's hard to believe that he was a murderer..."
Just when Lin Tanying was filled with doubts, Xiao Zhengtai, who had been using his tentacles to support his body, suddenly fell to the ground and stretched out his hands towards the plastic bags in the trash can.
"I……"
The childish voice was trembling, and the little deaf sheep actually reached out and hugged the head in the garbage bag, not shying away from the filth on it, and kept rubbing it.
"this……"
Seeing the scene in front of him, Lin Tanying didn't know what to say for a moment. It seemed that the child's body in the trash can was related to the deaf sheep, but what was the relationship between the two and why was it in the trash can? , all this is still unknown.
"Could this kid be your brother? Could it be that the female corpse in the bedroom is your mother?"
Deafyang did not answer Lin Tanying's question, and continued to rub the body in the garbage bag with his hands.
He remembered, he remembered everything.
That night, while changing the water in the fish tank, he accidentally let the last surviving blue-ringed octopus attach itself to his arm.
But he didn't die.
The toxin of the blue-ringed octopus has undergone an unknown mutation. Although it did not kill him, it caused a more terrible consequence.
Longyang's body and the blue-ringed octopus merged parasitically and depended on each other, eventually turning into a ferocious monster.
Under the influence of toxins, Longyang lost absolute control over his body, his movements became sluggish, and his memory became confused.
Those scattered memory fragments of what happened when he thought he was asleep reappeared in his mind bit by bit.
He smeared the mucus on the windows because the blue-ringed octopus likes darkness and hidden corners. The outdoor light is too dazzling, which makes him uneasy and uncomfortable.
So he blocks all sunlight.
Originally, his wife would not die. It was his self-righteous caress that deprived her of her life.
At that time, he thought he was just gently protecting his lover in his arms with his hands, but little did he know that his hands had already turned into tentacles full of toxins. His wife, who was unconscious due to hunger, was unable to resist, and this was how the incurable neurotoxin was released. Taking away his wife's life.
Originally, his child would not die, but because he was in the metamorphosis stage and in a state of confusion, he drowned his child in the fish tank, and then mistook the child's body for that of a blue-ringed octopus and threw it into the garbage. bag.
Originally, the rescue team had already come to the door. As long as he opened the door, as long as he did not do what he did before, his wife and children would survive.
But it was too late.
Not only did he fail to protect his wife and children, he actually killed them with his own hands!
It was him who did it. Everything in front of him was caused by his own hands!
"I'm sorry for you!"
The heartbreaking cry came from the deaf sheep's tender throat, and it was so desolate when it fell on Lin Tanying's ears.
The fog gradually dissipated, and Lin Tanying understood that as long as she asked now, Deafyang would tell the truth.
But she didn't do that. Instead, she stood quietly, waiting for the deaf sheep to vent her emotions.
Although she is no longer human, the memories of her life are like lingering bonds, tightly binding her soul.
Perhaps regaining a sense of freedom is not a gift for a being like her, but a curse.
"Cry, and after you cry, forget these things...
…”
Lin Tanying subconsciously comforted the deaf sheep in the same way she comforted others during her lifetime, but she sadly discovered that there were no tears falling from the corners of the eyes of the painful young lady in front of her. After the mutation, the deaf sheep seemed to have been deprived of even the right to cry. .
After crying for a while, the Deaf Sheep's mood gradually calmed down, but the tentacles around him were still trembling, which seemed to indicate that something terrible was about to come.
"It's all your fault..."
A low whimper came from the mouth of the deaf sheep. Lin Tanying thought she heard it wrong. Her eyes widened and she leaned forward slightly, leaning towards Xiao Zhengtai, trying to hear more clearly.
"It's all your fault!"
This time the deaf sheep did not lower his voice, but Lin Tanying behind him heard it clearly.
"Whose fault? Is there anyone else here?"
Lin Tanying, who was confused, glanced at the car-level zombies behind him, then looked around and found that no one else was at the scene.
Just when she was confused, the deaf sheep who was kneeling on the ground suddenly raised his head and looked towards the stove. The tentacles behind him supported the ground hard and lifted his small body up.
There are some pots and pans on the stove, as well as common kitchen utensils and chopsticks.
The target of the deaf sheep is the sharp bone-deleting steel knife in the middle!
"what you up to!"
The first time he turned around, Lin Tanying noticed the abnormal behavior of Deafyang. Although he was going to get a knife, the girl did not show the slightest fear because she had already established a strong bond with Deafyang. Contact, as a vassal of a general-level zombie, it is impossible for a deaf sheep to harm its owner.
So right now, Lin Tanying's face was filled with surprise, not even a hint of fear.
"It's all you! It's all your fault, monsters!"
The bone-eliminating steel knife was raised high above the head of the deaf sheep, and then chopped down fiercely. The target was one of the tentacles entrenched on the stove!
"when!"
The sound of the steel knife colliding with the countertop was heard, fluorescent blue blood splattered everywhere, and the tentacle under the sharp edge of the knife broke off, twisting feebly on the stove.
"ah!"
Whether it was anger or pain, the heart-rending roar came out from the deaf sheep's young throat again, tearing at Lin Tanying's nerves.
"The Jue of Extreme Chaos"
Seeing the little shota's trembling hands ready to raise the knife to chop again, the girl sighed helplessly and closed her eyes.
"enough!"
The deaf sheep's eyes turned dark purple at this moment, and he froze in place while maintaining the posture of raising the knife.
"Hey, this hurts too much. You are really cruel to yourself..."
Completely different from the previous life-or-death tone, the words now coming out of the deaf sheep's mouth were like an unrelated passerby commenting indifferently on everything that happened in front of him.
Yes, in order to prevent the deaf sheep from continuing to harm himself, Lin Tanying forcibly controlled the other person's body.
As long as it is a vassal that she has approved, Lin Tanying can forcibly control the other person's body.
This process is like injecting her soul into another body, allowing her to share the other person's five senses, including, of course, some pain.
Severe pain continued to come from the break of the tentacle, stimulating the deaf sheep's nerves and also stimulating Lin Tanying who controlled the deaf sheep's body.
"I know you can hear me. I'm not trying to control your body to stop you, but to tell you..."
Lin Tanying's body and Deafyang took a deep breath at the same time and said seriously.
"Although your family was killed by yourself, it is not your fault. You are not wrong. It is the world that is wrong."
"You just want to protect your family and live happily with them. It was this disaster that changed everything and shattered the world.
of your beauty. "
"Instead of feeling sorry for yourself and destroying your body here, it's better to find the truth and find out the real murderer of your wife and children."
"I believe you are not a coward!"
After saying four sentences, Lin Tanying opened her eyes. The dim purple slowly receded from the deaf sheep's eyes, returning to bottomless black again.
Little Shota still held up the bone-cutting steel knife, but her little body had stopped shaking.
Lin Tanying knew that the other party had listened to her words, so she didn't say anything more and just stood there quietly looking at the back in front of her.
"hehe……"
After a long silence, the deaf sheep turned his head, let out an emotionless chuckle, and dropped the steel knife in his hand to the ground.
"Sister, don't control me by force next time, okay? I don't like this feeling."
Hearing such a request, Lin Tanying raised her eyebrows and nodded slightly.
"Okay, but don't hurt yourself anymore. Every free will is valuable. You shouldn't give up on yourself like this."
At the break of the tentacle, the fluorescent blue blood had condensed at some point, and the wound was wrapped and entangled by the other tentacles, just like a person with a broken arm firmly covering his wound with his other intact hand.
In hopes of relieving the pain for a moment.
"How much do you know about this post-catastrophic world?"
Without agreeing or rejecting, the deaf sheep lowered his head and asked in a low voice.
"It's about the same as you, basically doesn't know anything."
Shrugging his shoulders, Lin Tanying grabbed the towel on the table and carefully wiped the blood on Soldier No. 1.
When Deafyang cut off the tentacles just now, she was actually hiding behind the car-level zombies, so the blood splattered did not splash on her body, but a lot of it got on Private Soldier No. 1's body.
"Then why do you say that the world is wrong? Why do you say that you can find out the culprit that caused all these disasters?"
Little Shota raised his head, his eyes full of loneliness and sadness.
"First of all, I am definitely not wrong, and neither are you. If I am not wrong, you and I were the most ordinary characters during our lives. We did not have the ability to change our fate, nor did we have any dazzling skills."
"If in this disaster, I end up turning into a cold corpse, then I won't say anything more, because I don't even have a chance to fight or change."
"I am not a person who likes to be conceited. In my understanding, the world is black and white. If I am really wrong, then I will not get a second chance! But now that I am reborn, it proves I am not wrong!"
"Since I am not wrong, then the only thing that is wrong is this world!"
"So, would you like to join me to explore the truth of the matter?"
After wiping the last blood spot on Soldier No. 1's body, Lin Tanying patted the opponent's strong chest with satisfaction and made a few crisp snapping sounds.
It was like the applause after a speech, but it sounded a bit monotonous.
"Go and explore the truth...you are really a middle school student..."
Xiao Zhengtai Tingyang silently complained. Although he didn't know the specific meaning of the second grade, he somehow felt that the current scene was very suitable for this evaluation.
"Let's go together. The only one you can rely on is me..."
Lin Tanying stretched out her right hand towards the silent deaf sheep in front of her.
There are some looming black blood vessels under the fair skin, which looks so weird and beautiful.
After staring at Lin Tanying's purple eyes for a long time, Deafyang finally raised his right hand and placed it in the girl's palm.
"Let me tell you first, I just want revenge..."
