Sunlight shines on the underground stairwell.
Huarui's whole figure was hanging in front of the door in a large font.
His face was gray, his fangs were exposed, his white hair was as messy as weeds, his eyes were bloodthirsty, and he regarded everyone as prey.
There was so much evil and bloody aura coming from his body that the well-trained bodyguards did not dare to move forward and had to stand in the sun, guarding Hua Yinghao in the middle.
Next to Huarui, Zhang Xuanyang, wearing a cyan robe, was examining Huarui with a solemn face.
He knocked on Huarui's bronze arm, which immediately made a dull sound like knocking iron.
He reached out and pinched it again, and found that even if he mobilized level 3 power, it was difficult to pinch it, as if it were a doll made entirely of fine steel.
Then he pulled off a needle-like white hair from Hua Rui's body, observed it for a moment, turned to Su Mo and said:
"Master Su, please open his mouth a little bit."
Su Mo nodded, ignoring the whooshing sound coming from Huarui's throat, and stuffed a three-finger-wide air tentacle into his mouth, completely stretching his mouth until it almost burst.
Zhang Xuanyang came closer and carefully observed his teeth, tongue and throat under Hua Rui's nose.
After a while, he took two steps back and sighed with a complicated expression:
"It's alive and dead."
Su Mo was not surprised.
He had already expected this result.
Hua Yinghao from behind asked with great concern:
"Taoist Master Xuanyang, what's going on with my father? What's the point of being alive and dead?"
Zhang Xuanyang looked at him and replied in a heavy tone:
“In today’s world, in addition to spiritual energy, there are countless supernatural powers.
After death, various incredible changes may occur due to these supernatural powers.
A considerable part of the monsters we killed came from here.
Among these monsters, there are also many divisions, such as resentful spirits, monsters, dead zombies, etc.
Zombie zombies are very similar to the zombies you often see on TV. They are formed by corpses undergoing necromorphosis.
Living stiffness, also called raw stiffness, is relative to dead stiffness.
It was formed by living people.
Generally speaking, there are two methods for the formation of live stiffness.
The first is that he was bitten by a dead zombie, but it did not cause fatal injuries. The strange power contained in it will gradually infect the body and make it rigid.
The second is that when exposed to certain supernatural powers, being in an environment with extremely high concentration of supernatural powers may directly turn you into a zombie.
According to my preliminary inspection, Mr. Hua should be the second type. "
"So, what should I do? Can this be cured?"
Hua Yinghao suddenly panicked and was at a loss for words. He could not see the decisive demeanor he once had in the mall.
Zhang Xuanyang glanced at Huarui.
The other person was delirious and looked extremely bloodthirsty, as if he would pounce on him immediately if he let him go.
Zhang Xuanyang pondered for a moment and replied:
"I can only say that I will do my best, but I cannot guarantee the result. Mr. Hua has been deeply poisoned and may not be able to be saved."
Hua Yinghao glanced at his inhuman father, gritted his teeth and said:
"Please let the Taoist priest go and do something."
Zhang Xuanyang nodded, took out a blue acupuncture bag from his sleeve, and prepared to give Huarui acupuncture.
Su Mo watched this scene and was speechless for a moment.
He could naturally see the seriousness of Huarui's condition.
Under the reflection of spiritual perception, his whole body was filled with a strange force.
This strange force was entangled with his life force, and even his mental state was seriously affected.
If you want to save Huarui, you must first separate this strange force.
But he is old, his energy and blood are withered, and his body is too weak. He may not be able to survive the separation process alone and will die directly.
And if he ignored it and took conservative treatment, he wouldn't live long either.
As a level 1 magician, Huarui broke through to level 4 in a very short period of time. This was not without cost.
All the potential in his body has been stimulated by the supernatural power, which is why he has gained such a rapid increase in strength.
But this excitement has reached his limit.
The hotter the fire, the more fuel it needs.
According to Su Mo's estimation, he should not reach level 5 and would burn out like a candle.
From this we can also see the horror of that strange power.
Forcibly raising a Level 1 person to Level 4, even at the cost of sanity and life, is something that many people cannot imagine.
If this news is released, countless practitioners will try to find the source of the strange power and strive to control it in their own hands.
If it is done well, it can even create an extremely huge cultivation force.
But Su Mo didn't pay much attention to these.
He just wants to completely destroy the source of evil behind the alien power.
While Su Mo was thinking, Zhang Xuanyang had already inserted many silver needles of different lengths and thicknesses into Hua Rui's body.
Just the injection of the needle made him sweat profusely, which showed how hard Huarui's body was.
After all the silver needles were inserted, Zhang Xuanyang, whose hands were trembling slightly as he looked at the hedgehog-like Hua Rui, asked Su Mo:
"Master Su, please force the strange power out of his body according to the route I have drawn."
Su Mo nodded.
Although he has no spiritual power, it is the same if he has spiritual power.
The surging spiritual power suddenly penetrated Hua Rui's body, and according to the spiritual power mark left by the silver needle, all the supernatural power locked in it was forced towards the chest and abdomen.
After the alien force was forced away, changes visible to the naked eye immediately occurred in various parts of Huarui's body.
The pinprick white hairs on the body surface are constantly falling off, the skin has changed from stiff to soft, and even has many wrinkles and age spots. The sharp and long nails have also been shortened. It seems that everything is developing towards a good situation.
Hua Yinghao had a smile on his face.
Zhang Xuanyang breathed a sigh of relief.
Even Chen Shuo, who had been watching from the side, looked knowledgeable.
Among everyone, only Su Mo could detect the faint death aura emanating from Hua Rui's body.
But he didn't stop.
Tossing back and forth will only make Huarui die faster.
Since he can't be saved, let's give him a decent ending.
Under the rapid push of mental power, countless strange forces condensed in Huarui's chest like hundreds of rivers returning to the sea, and finally followed the esophagus and jumped out of the throat, revealing its true face.
It was a dense mist the size of a table tennis ball, glowing with a faint yellowish color. The aura revealed in it was exactly the same as the one I sensed on the water monster in the river that day, but it was much richer.
Seeing this table tennis ball of mist, Zhang Xuanyang's face showed surprise:
"This doesn't seem to be an ordinary supernatural power. It looks like the corpse energy leaking from a zombie."
Hearing this, Chen Shuo next to him was immediately startled:
"Old Master Xuanyang, don't joke about this kind of thing!"
Zhang Xuanyang said in a deep voice:
"Since I became a Taoist priest on the mountain, I have never deceived anyone. This corpse aura is exactly the same as what is recorded in the classics!"
Chen Shuo's face immediately turned ugly:
"Just a ball of corpse energy can turn level 1 into level 4. How strong must that zombie be? Could it be above the black shadow level?!"
Zhang Xuanyang shook his head with a solemn expression:
"This aura feels very ancient to me. It must have been passed down from a long time ago. Even a dead zombie with great strength will definitely not survive the Age of Ending Law and must have turned into dust long ago.
What's more, if he really exists, with his overwhelming strength, once he is exposed, it is impossible for us to receive no news at all. "
Having said this, he couldn't help but turn to look at Su Mo, and humbly asked:
"I wonder what Master Su thinks of this?"
Su Mo felt very speechless.
How could he see that?
He couldn't say that even if the opponent's body was here, he seemed to be able to defeat him.
No one would believe this kind of thing.
He simply shook his head and said:
"It's better not to scare yourself. It's totally unnecessary to scare yourself into confusion without even seeing what the other person looks like.
As for more information, we can just ask the person involved. "
As he spoke, he looked at Hua Rui, who was untied and placed on the ground.
At this moment, his body had returned from its initial hardness to a shriveled state, so weak that it seemed as if a gust of wind could blow him over.
His face, with wrinkles as sharp as a knife, had a strange rosiness.
Seeing his performance, everyone's hearts, including Zhang Xuanyang and Chen Shuo, all felt a thump in their hearts.
They thought of the same word-reflection.
"dad!"
Hua Yinghao pushed away the bodyguard, rushed forward, squatted down, and held Hua Rui's thin body in his arms.
As if awakened by this call, Huarui opened his cloudy eyes.
He glanced at Su Mo and others in front of him, and then at Hua Yinghao who had a worried face next to him. His voice was hoarse and he said with a wry smile:
"Yinghao, it seems that I have caused you a lot of trouble during this period."
"No trouble, no trouble."
Hua Yinghao's voice was choked and his hands were shaking.
"You are a good boy. I feel relieved to leave Dahua to you."
Huarui patted the back of his hand gently, turned to look at Zhang Xuanyang, who had a silent expression, and said with an embarrassed smile:
"The Taoist priest once advised me not to be too obsessed with extending my life. It was because I couldn't get out that I ended up like this. I can't blame others.
In order to extend my life, I have tried countless methods, but none of them have succeeded. It was not until I met the Lord in person that I finally saw some light.
According to the instructions of the World-Honored One, I learned to eat Buddhist meals, avoid light and darkness, and go to the temple every night to listen to Buddhist sutras like other Buddhists. My body gradually became stronger and younger, and my strength increased rapidly, but my hands and feet no longer felt strong. Under my control, reason is also leaving me.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, how can anything in the world be so cheap? Can you extend your life and become stronger without paying any price? No matter how top-notch the wonders are, they cannot achieve this level.
But by the time I realized it, it was already too late.
This is the evil fruit planted by my own hands.
Fortunately, it was finally up to you to remove it before it caused more harm.
I have to thank you.
But I can only say thank you..."
Hua Rui's eyes gradually began to blur, and the rosy color on his face quickly faded.
He looked at the sunlight falling on the stairwell, as if he remembered the warm scene when he was having fun with his grandson, and murmured in a low voice:
"How wonderful would it be if we had never awakened?
Why does it give me hope and make me despair..."
Seeing Hua Rui's breath completely dissipated, and listening to Hua Yinghao crying loudly, Su Mo felt very complicated for a moment.
In fact, he can generally understand Huarui.
It’s okay if you haven’t awakened before you die.
As an ordinary person with a perfect life, he can welcome death without any worries.
But now they have obviously become practitioners.
Everyone has obviously seen unprecedented grand scenes and experienced majestic power that far exceeds that of ordinary people.
How could he be willing to do so?
And this is the root cause of today's tragedy.
Regarding Huarui's choice, Su Mo couldn't say whether it was right or wrong.
In the same position, he might do the same.
To say that the person who deserved to be hung up and beaten the most in this tragedy was undoubtedly the World Honored One Hua Rui mentioned.
When he thought of this, Su Mo's fist hardened.
"Mr. Hua has passed away, so what should we do with the investigation of corpse energy?"
Chen Shuo frowned and said in a deep voice:
"The effect of this corpse energy is so weird. It can be forcibly upgraded from level 1 to level 4, and it can also make people delirious and bloodthirsty. It must not be left alone.
And according to Mr. Hua, there is not only one Buddhist like him. We must find out the Buddha hiding behind the scenes before causing even greater chaos! "
"I want to catch the Master more than you do, but this matter is not that easy to solve."
Zhang Xuanyang replied with an ugly face. Obviously, Huarui's death also caused him to suffer a certain blow:
"Not to mention that we don't know the whereabouts of the World Honored One now. Even if we do, we can't judge his level of strength. Running over randomly will probably result in the annihilation of the entire army. This matter must be considered in the long term."
"There's no need to think about it long term. If we solve it as soon as possible, I can still deliver food in the afternoon."
Hearing Su Mo's words, Zhang Xuanyang and Chen Shuo couldn't help being slightly startled, and a strange feeling emerged in their hearts at the same time——
Is it possible that eliminating the mastermind behind the scenes is not as important as delivering food?
"But we don't know the whereabouts of the World Honored One. Now that even Mr. Hua is dead, there are no clues."
Chen Shuo looked embarrassed.
"Then let the one who knows the way take us there!"
Su Mo's expression suddenly turned cold, and the air everywhere immediately turned into a giant hand, grabbing a bodyguard standing by the window in the lobby on the first floor.
This bodyguard was the one who spied on him when he came in.
Of course, it was not the bodyguard who was really spying on him, but some strange thing attached to the bodyguard.
Since he dared to come here at such a special time, he must have some kind of relationship with Hua Rui. Maybe he was secretly sent by the World Honored One to help Hua Rui escape.
The giant air hand held the bodyguard and quickly handed it to the underground stairs.
The bodyguard screamed in the air, and suddenly his eyes turned white.
Immediately, a shadow that was difficult for ordinary people to see suddenly jumped out of his body and fled madly towards the outside of the villa.
Seeing this, Su Mo couldn't help but sneered, raised his hand and put the bodyguard on the ground.
The reason why he used the air giant hand instead of the mental giant hand was to force the monster to escape on its own initiative and prevent the bodyguard possessed by it from being implicated.
Now that he has really abandoned his body and run away, why not just play whatever he wants?
In one thought, the terrifying mental power suddenly imprisoned the entire space, and the shadow was like an insect falling into amber, unable to move.
Then he was lifted entirely into the underground stairwell.
"Is this... evil?"
Looking at the illusory figure with no eyes, no nose, no ears and only a big mouth, Zhang Xuanyang's face was full of surprise and uncertainty.
“This is not just Yin Mei, it’s Yellow Pages level Yin Mei!!”
Chen Shuo also looked shocked.
Yin Mei, this is an extremely special kind of monster. It is weak in strength, but good at hiding. Even a strong person who is one level higher than him may not be able to detect him. In the past, there were even Yellow Pages level Yin Mei possessing people at level 5. The cases on his body show his strong concealment ability.
Chen Shuo had no idea when the sinister creature in front of him had sneaked into the villa, and he might not be able to notice it until he left.
But now the other party was easily caught by Master Su and taken to the underground stairwell, exposed in front of everyone.
For a time, Chen Shuo felt more and more that Master Su was unfathomable.
Looking at the evil figure sealed in the mental space, Su Mo couldn't help but frown slightly.
It's easy to catch him, but how to let him lead the way to the Lord?
You must know that most weirdos are difficult to communicate with and cannot understand human speech at all.
And if you crush him to death and read the memory directly, you are worried that key memories may be damaged.
As if he saw where he was struggling, Chen Shuo quickly came forward and offered advice like a dog-legger:
"Master Su, I have a plan to let this evil spirit lead us to his lair."
