"Hehehe, this one is almost done. Next, I will trim the excess branches and leaves for you."
The gardener took a satisfied look at the work in front of him. It was a woman's corpse with her ears and fingers cut off, wearing a Qingya Villa employee uniform.
Then he turned his head, his eyes wandering and sizing up Zhao Qian, as if he was thinking about how to turn her into a qualified potted plant.
Zhao Qian had already cried so hard that the other party's action of cutting up the body was no longer so terrifying to her. After all, when the fear reaches its peak, all that is left is numbness.
However, at this time, she shuddered hard, and her body began to tremble even more violently. The gardener's eyes fell on a certain part of her body, and she felt as if someone had cut it there, and the horror in her heart further amplified.
"No...don't...don't!"
The gardener approached with scissors as long as an adult's forearm. The cold iron tool slid down Zhao Qian's arm and reached her fingers.
The scissors closed little by little, and the sharp edges cut through the white and tender skin. Zhao Qian opened her mouth wide and let out a short, rapid gasp. Sweat and tears were mixed on her pale face, and she almost fainted from fright.
Click!
The gardener just cut off a nail, but Zhao Qian screamed like crazy: "Ah——"
"Ahhhh!!!"
"ah……"
Her voice went from high-pitched to hoarse, and her throat seemed to be broken.
"Ho ho, ha ha ha, ha ha ha ha!" Seeing this, the gardener laughed crazily, ran his hand through Zhao Qian's long black hair, and took a deep breath on it greedily.
"Don't be afraid, I'll do it step by step, first the nails, then your fingers."
…
Jiang Chen came to the place on the other side of the lake where Zhang Lu and Zhang Lu mentioned that Zhao Qian disappeared.
This is an open space, indeed there is nothing.
"A ghost beating a wall?"
He gathered his demon power, and a trace of black energy appeared in front of his eyes. In his sight, strange potted plants appeared out of thin air, with a piece of wood inserted in the middle, and corpses were tied to them. Their legs were close together, but their hands were opened wide, showing a strange posture.
Without the lights, at first glance, it really looks like some kind of ornamental tree.
In front of a pile of 'potted plants', a middle-aged gardener was holding a pair of large scissors and was trimming the nails of a girl who was almost mentally broken. A hoarse scream came from the girl's throat.
"Zhao Qian..." Jiang Chen's expression darkened, he stood on tiptoe and quietly approached.
After he had taken a few steps, the gardener suddenly turned his head as if he had discovered something. However, he only saw pots of his works and found nothing suspicious.
"Haha, I'm overthinking it." The gardener turned his head again and continued his work.
What he didn't see was that behind a certain potted plant, a young man was hiding in a perfect position with his hands spread out in a large shape.
"I can make use of these potted plants." Jiang Chen murmured in his heart.
Ordinary people would never have such crazy ideas. After all, the so-called 'potted plants' are terrifying corpses!
He picked up a 'potted plant' and slowly approached it.
Jiang Chen had only taken five or six steps when the gardener turned his head again in confusion. In sight, there was still only his own potted plant.
"What's going on? I always feel like there's something behind me."
"The gardener has doubts in his heart, ghost energy +15."
He observed for a few times but found no results, so he turned his head and continued to trim Zhao Qian's nails. At this time, he had already trimmed the nails of the seventh finger.
Jiang Chen picked up the body and continued to move forward. If he wanted to save people, he needed to approach the ghost quietly.
During this process, he meditated silently.
"Demon Transformation - Special Agent!"
"Ding, a magical power was randomly drawn: the powerful Bull Demon Fist."
Click... click...
The gardener finally finished trimming ten nails. He smiled at Zhao Qian, grabbed one of her fingers, and slowly put the scissors on it.
When she came into contact with the cold blade, Zhao Qian felt a numbness in her scalp and tried hard to withdraw her hands. However, she was tied up and could not break free at all.
"No...please, don't..."
At this moment, the gardener suddenly felt a palpitation in his heart. He immediately turned his head, and there was still only his potted plant in his sight.
"What the heck, it's so good. Why am I so scared? Is there really something targeting me?"
"The gardening ghost is nervous, ghost energy +25."
He looked at it carefully this time and counted it. The number was correct. Each potted plant was carefully made by himself, and nothing else was mixed in.
"No problem, maybe I'm overthinking it." The gardener thought so, and just as he turned his head, he suddenly noticed a detail. For a moment, he felt a chill in his heart, and the hairs all over his body stood up.
"If I remember correctly, I placed the potted plants far away. Why did it come to this place!"
Just now, the gardener's attention was focused on the number and appearance of the potted plants. When he turned his head, he realized that at some point, a potted plant had arrived one meter behind him.
"Gardening ghosts are creepy, ghost energy +50."
The gardener turned around quickly, but this time, his eyes widened even more, because a large potted plant was almost close to his back. The most important thing was that he had never seen the other person's appearance before.
This is not your own potted plant!
"What the hell!" The gardener was frightened.
Jiang Chen grinned, didn't say much to him, and yelled five words: "Powerful Bull Demon Fist!"
A punch was thrown out suddenly.
The gardener only had time to block with the scissors.
Fist bumped against scissors.
boom--
The terrifying force was like a heavy truck hitting him. The gardener's body was exaggeratedly twisted and bent into a shrimp shape. Not only that, Jiang Chen pressed down with his fist and slammed the opponent's entire body into the concrete floor.
There was a loud noise, and the gardener's chest was shattered into pulp.
"Ding, the garden ghost (evil ghost) dies, ghost energy +99."
After this wave, the ghost energy harvest was not much, but Jiang Chen mainly wanted to save people, and he didn't feel it was a pity.
He took a look and saw that Zhao Qian did not suffer too serious injuries on her body, but her fingernails were picked off and her hand was touched by the scissors blade. There were a few blood stains with a faint ghost aura on them.
He stretched out his hand, and the demon power entered the opponent's body, easily dispelling the ghost energy.
However, the other party's expression was dull, and it seemed that he was really frightened. When Jiang Chen grabbed his hand, his body trembled a few times in fear, as if he was extremely frightened.
"Zhao Qian, are you okay? Do you still recognize who I am?" Jiang Chen waved his hand in front of her, for fear that the child would be frightened and go crazy.
The other person's expression was dull for four or five minutes before he finally came to his senses and burst into tears with a cry of 'Wow'.
"Jiang Chen! You saved me. Is it dead? Is it dead? It's a demon! Jiang Chen, thank you so much..."
Jiang Chen nodded, it was good if he could cry. He picked up the scissors and untied the other party. Zhao Qian's body fell softly, but luckily she was supported by him.
"Don't be afraid, let's go there first, the classmates are all over there."
