"Stranger?"
Hearing this familiar word, Wu Ming was startled at first, then turned to look at the old man who was standing not far away at some point. After looking at him up and down, he suddenly said with a bad taste: "Yes, we are despicable foreigners." People, come here and break pots and pans in your house, search for the medicines and props you have hidden, not only will they take away the best sword in your village, but in the end they will blow up your village and bring in evildoers!"
Seeing Wu Ming's answer, the well-informed old man Xie was also stunned: in his long and twisted life, he had seen many outsiders who either had their own purposes or entered Changsheng Village by mistake, but their nature was so bad that they did not hide themselves at all. This was the first time he had seen a foreigner who was so despicable and lustful, and even proud of it.
After being choked so hard, Old Man Xie didn't know how to continue talking for a while.
Similarly, Wu Ming and others were also using their own methods to take advantage of this opportunity to examine the old man who suddenly appeared beside them without knowing it.
Wu Ming's perspective was split into two parts. From a normal perspective, Old Man Xie was still in the human form of a rickety old man, but from an extraordinary perspective, Old Man Xie turned into a mass of amorphous smoke that kept gathering and spreading. Dust, after the perspective was continuously enlarged by the auxiliary device, he could clearly observe the wonderful life form that Old Man Xie was in at this time from a more microscopic level.
Each particle of dust has extremely limited independent consciousness and activity, but it does not have personality or self, and only retains a few fragments of thoughts. Only when a sufficient number of dust particles gather together, the consciousness and activity divided into countless parts can be connected with each other in some unique way, connecting the fragments of thoughts hidden in the dust, and reactivating personality, consciousness and self.
Of course, Wu Ming knows very well that only a few, or even very few, people can do this. If you really want to ask why, it is because...
Because the entire village is filled with dust particles with independent consciousness and activity...
Particles invisible to the naked eye are floating everywhere in the sky, on the ground, on the house, and in the air. They are everywhere like ordinary dust and particles, but only a handful of dust particles gather together to form the old man Xie in front of him.
This is also the reason why he immediately deployed the shield and life support module to purify the surrounding environment after coming in.
Not only is the sky full of smog, but there are also floating particles that are clearly poisonous and harmful at a glance. Can we not open a shield and filter?
Wu Ming didn't know how Elizabeth and Zhao Sida observed it, but he could probably tell that there was something wrong with this old man...
After the two sides were in a stalemate for a while, Zhao Sida gave Wu Ming a hard poke, pulled the troublesome manager aside, and then answered on his behalf: "Correction, we are outsiders here to solve the incident here. Please inform us as soon as possible and clearly and concisely. Our situation here..."
"Get out of here! They..." Old man Xie's expression became excited. The old man in two different perspectives in Wu Ming's eyes made the same action at this time. He tremblingly wanted to rush over and catch him. They ended up hitting the transparent and invisible shield with a muffled sound.
In the normal perspective, Old Man Xie still maintains his human form, but in the extraordinary perspective, most of the smoke representing his head has been knocked away, but his voice full of anger, fear and warning still came over: "They will be back soon! Let’s go!”
"Scaring me?" Wu Ming stretched out his hand to hold Old Man Xie's head, and as soon as the containment space flashed, the ever-changing cloud of smoke was filled in. "At worst, I'll invite you to the private seats in the containment space..."
From the perspective of Zhao Sida and Elizabeth, it was Old Man Xie who was slapped into the containment space by Wu Ming.
"Brother..." Elizabeth looked at Wu Ming with a complicated expression, but hesitated to speak.
Zhao Sida also twisted Wu Ming's arm fiercely: "Manager, please release that weird life form immediately. What we need most at this stage is information, but you put him in it..."
Before he finished speaking, a few smokes that occasionally scattered when they hit the shield were activated again, and together with the ubiquitous smoke in the village, they once again gathered into the shape of Old Man Xie. This rickety old man became a little older after he recovered. These people are obviously very different from the outsiders who have visited the village in the past, but there is still a look of disappointment in his eyes: "You can't kill me with this little trick, and you can't kill anyone in the village..."
Wu Ming curled his lips and said to the two women: "His life form seems to be quite strange. I don't need to ask him to come out of the private seat."
Elizabeth's eyes widened. She clearly felt that the individual in front of her was slightly different in detail from the previous one: "Both of them are him? Is this okay? That's too awesome..."
"As long as a small part remains, it can replenish itself through the surrounding environment and resurrect." I just watched Old Man Xie's rebirth process. Zhao Sida had already understood the secret of the other party's escape from the containment space.
Wu Ming turned to look at Old Man Xie, who had reassembled into a human form: "Can we talk openly now?"
"If you can arrive before the mutation, maybe this method can also solve the problem of the insect-possessed people in this village... But now the undead in the village have already switched to other methods of immortality..." Old Man Xie sighed. Zhongman is full of helplessness, including the helplessness of being unable to save innocent people, and the helplessness of being immortal and unable to be killed by others.
"Now, as long as the 'haze' here has not dissipated, as long as the haze of the entire Taoyuan world has not dissipated, we will never be able to gain relief, and the same goes for those innocent people who stay here..."
…………
Changsheng Village, in the ruined temple of Xincun.
Zhao Chensi took the place of the silent people and asked Joseph questions one after another, from who he was and what his purpose was to what was going on in this village and how they were planted with undead insects. Is the method of melting people a cover-up or a real supernatural power, etc...
These ordinary people, through Joseph, through today's incredible shock, had their first official contact with the things of the extraordinary world.
"Actually, it's hard for me to explain to you the harm caused by eating that kind of bug..." Joseph carefully considered his words to avoid using excessive words and descriptions to scare a few people who were already tensed to the limit. Ordinary people, "To put it simply, they are extraordinary creatures that use some method to live forever. The bugs you eat are their true bodies..."
At the mention of those bugs, Wan Qi and Yang Xin turned pale and felt nauseated again, while Shi Yu started coughing violently next to them. Zhao Chensi comforted them for a while before they gradually calmed down.
“When undead bugs first enter the human body, they, like all parasites, do not have any combat effectiveness or extraordinary abilities. They will lie dormant in the body and absorb the nutrients for growth through parasitism. It is not until they grow older that they begin to try to invade the host’s body. "
"They will first use their curled-up legs to manipulate the host's internal organs. At this time, they can already use extraordinary power to peek into the host's mind, affect his normal perception, reduce or even block pain. At the same time, they will start to eat the host's spine, And its legs will feed back vitality to the host to assist in the operation of the internal organs. Even if the host is fatally injured at this time, it can miraculously survive with the feedback of undead insects..."
"When the spine is eaten, the undead bugs will invade the host's brain. Step by step, they will eat away at the host's brain extremely slowly. In the process, the bugs will use their extraordinary power to learn like an ignorant child. , copy everything about the other party. Synchronize your memory, your personality, your behavioral patterns...everything about you little by little through daily peeking. When your brain is eaten away, when your whole body is taken over by it At that time, although 'you' were still alive, you were no longer you..."
Joseph saw that because of his obsession with showing off his knowledge, the faces of several ordinary people became more and more ugly. He immediately changed the subject and comforted: "But you are safe now, although the method is a bit rough. He used direct beatings in the stomach to force You vomited out the undead bugs, but the result was pretty good..."
"Now, we should think of a way to escape from this ghost place..."
