When I went out, it happened to be raining lightly. Although there should have been a very bright full moon that night, it was covered by thick dark clouds and nothing could be seen in the sky. If there were no street lights, it would be a night where you couldn't see your fingers and it was easy to get lost.
Zhou Yu held up a black umbrella and walked into the night.
To be honest, he was a little curious. If the person who comes out that night is Chen Wei, what is this helpless guy going to say to Sang Lian? Sit together and discuss the truth?
But no matter what, that won't work. Nowadays, Sang Lian is no longer someone who can communicate with words. The words she speaks on the surface are just the remaining instincts of her body.
He arrived at Crescent Road station.
I don’t know whether it’s really deserted here, or whether the owner of the skull ring has done something to it, but there isn’t a single ordinary passenger on the platform on a rainy night. The two people standing there were actually known to Zhou Yu.
The two-meter-tall strong man and the skinny girl both appeared in the abandoned factory. Because he was focusing on Ferris at that time, he almost didn't pay much attention to these two followers.
Seeing him coming, the strong man nodded expressionlessly, but the little girl didn't move at all, just staring at him with cloudy eyes for a while. The withered appearance reminded people of dead dwarf trees in the desert.
"Are you two people sent by Motian?"
Zhou Yu asked, holding an umbrella. To be honest, he didn't know the "usage" of these two people. If the strong man can handle Brother Dan, then the function of the little girl is completely unpredictable. She looks so shriveled that she can be crushed with one finger.
The strong man still nodded expressionlessly and took out a walkie-talkie from his pocket. The voice of Ferris immediately sounded from the machine.
"Here you go, little girl. How was your rest last night?"
"The helper you sent seems a bit hard to understand. Wouldn't you be responsible for introducing me?"
"Yeah, what's there to say? They're just two lowly people. The older one is a tiger and the younger one is a wild cat. Just call them that. As for its use, that earthworm doesn't live alone, right? Little girl, you Just concentrate on dealing with me, and let the tiger deal with the extra idle people. As for the wild cat, although it is a waste, its eyes are still very useful, and it is very convenient to find things."
Even though it was mentioned with such contempt, the two people in front of Zhou Yu did not react at all. Rather than taking it as a sign of loyalty, that look could be described as dead-like indifference.
I was so indifferent, and Zhou Yu had no intention of standing up for him. Just as he was about to walk off the platform from the surveillance corner, Ferris on the other end of the intercom said again: "Little girl, your legs and feet haven't recovered yet, have they?"
"Do you care about this kind of thing?"
"Yeah, after all, it's a matter of success or failure. Wouldn't it be a pity if, little girl, you lose to an earthworm because of a foot injury?"
Zhou Yu sneered.
"Don't you know it well? Sang Lian is different from people like you. He will not choose to run away when facing an enemy. Even if I can't walk, he will just wait there."
"That's naturally the best. But let's make sure, little girl, do you really know how to use 'revenge'?"
"Do you want to give it a try? As long as you appear in front of me, I will let you know the answer right away."
Ferris just laughed.
"No need, in that case, I will just watch your performance, little girl."
Zhou Yu, who had known this for a long time, didn't bother to make fun of the other party. Anyway, it's all expected. As long as 'revenge' is still in his hands, the other party will never get into danger easily.
He led the way down the platform and walked deeper into the tunnel. "Tiger" and "Wildcat" also followed quietly. The journey, which was not particularly long at first, became extremely difficult under the depressing atmosphere created by these two people.
Zhou Yu walked in front, occasionally observing the little girl on the back left out of the corner of his eye. Because of his foot injury, he walked very slowly. Even so, the girl had a hard time following him.
The more carefully he observed, the more he cared about the girl's appearance. That almost deformed thin appearance would be an understatement to say it was pathological. If she lay motionless on the ground, Zhou Yu would regard her as a mummy. The bones, joints, and tendons were all clearly outlined under the skin. Even the chest and abdomen containing the organs collapsed horribly, as if there was no torso at all under the empty children's clothes. A thin rod connecting the head and legs.
Like that, even if she was walking, it wouldn't be strange for her head to suddenly roll to the ground because her neck was too thin.
When constructing such a scene in his mind, Zhou Yu did not feel any sympathy. Is it because she is a "wild cat" raised by Ferris, or is it because her body shape is so deviant from the norm that it can no longer resonate with people of the same kind?
Before he could draw a conclusion, the "tiger" walking on the right suddenly stopped.
At this time, where the three of them were, they could vaguely see the hazy red light in front of them, but the surroundings were still dark and cold cement tunnels, which were still quite far away from the underground rental house where Sang Lian was located. Even if there is a warning, the timing is too early.
"What's wrong?"
Zhou Yu asked, holding the umbrella handle. He didn't sense any danger.
"Tiger" shook his head and said, "It tastes good."
This was the first time Zhou Yu heard him speak. Unlike his menacing appearance, his voice was quite ordinary except for a slightly dull tone. If you close your eyes and listen to it, it will only remind you of a middle-aged taxi driver in his forties.
However, this man is a "tiger" sent by Ferris.
"Are you referring to the earthy smell?"
"Tiger" said nothing. He passed Zhou Yu and walked towards the red light ahead at a speed that could only be caught up by an ordinary person at a trot. In order not to be left too far behind, Zhou Yu could only bear the pain and speed up the pace. Even so, it is inevitable to gradually widen the gap with the opponent.
Just before he was about to get angry for no apparent reason, a sweet aroma filled his nose.
It wasn't the scent of flowers or wood, but an old and decaying smell like rust. Because it was mixed with some indescribable sweetness, it actually made him feel very intoxicating.
As perception cries out for joy, reason, operating in parallel with it, begins to draw conclusions.
——Yes, he recognizes this smell. Not only did he recognize it, it was something he was extremely familiar with.
He rushed to the rental house filled with red light.
Before he even stepped inside, he saw something strange at the door.
The cigarettes lying quietly on the ground could not recognize the brand because Zhou Yu did not like tobacco or alcohol. But the arm lying alone on the ground twenty centimeters away from the cigarette butt felt quite familiar to him.
That's because there aren't many people wearing shirts and suits in places like this.
Zhou Yu looked at the cave wall and inserted his fingers into the dark magic soil. The soil is as soft and greasy as mud, and there is an unmistakable feeling of moisture when you touch it.
He pulled his palm away. There is no mistake now, the red liquid flowing continuously along the palm lines cannot be confused with the red light of the magic soil itself.
Looking around, everything within ten steps of the entrance to the rental house was soaked in blood.
He held an umbrella and walked into the house without saying a word.
The rotating lamp that once emitted a pink light was now smashed to pieces by some huge force and scattered all over the floor. Because this room was not eroded by the demon soil, the entire room was undoubtedly painted red with blood. There is not a single blind spot, not a single gap, and the red that fills the entire room is definitely not formed when someone is simply killed.
After stepping through the shallow pool of blood, the scene inside the rental house was finally fully revealed.
There is no unexpected feeling.
The red color that fills the sky and earth, exuding a sweet smell, is all high-quality and fresh blood. However, at first glance, the amount of flesh of the corpses scattered on the floor was seriously insufficient, and it could not match the blood-stained area.
Zhou Yu has no doubt about this. Because the arm that fell at the entrance of the hole and was still wrapped in the sleeve of the suit, the fracture was not a neat cut, but a deep and clear tooth mark.
The scene in front of me looked like the remains left by a wild beast after eating.
He walked quietly through the corridor, and when he reached the corner, he leaned down and picked up a long green hair. There was a biting coldness in the palm of my hand holding the handle of the umbrella.
