Trying to pretend to be human today

Chapter 335 Destroying the Bones

A prophet?No, no, no, it's not to the point of predicting the future.

While humans were staying away from the main battlefield that was no longer directly visible, they were thinking about what Bai Su had written.

After thinking for a while, Tang Nuo asked, "When did you know the news?"

Gao Tianyi was still trying to wipe off the water marks on his body. After hearing this question, he paused: "At...at the village chief's house?"

When humans gathered together, they finally had time to review the actions of all parties after they separated.

I pieced it together one sentence at a time, but since there was no specific time for reference, the sky in Wenjia Village was often groggy, and sometimes it looked like night during the day.

All in all, after they left to rescue "Qi Zhuyue", the news that went up the mountain as promised attracted the villagers who were attending the birthday banquet. The big one and the small one who stayed in the village followed the arrangement and went to the village chief's house to look for her. intelligence.

Xia Chengyin: "It sounds like there's nothing wrong here, but...what's her condition?"

The short-haired police officer pointed at the little girl who had been transferred to Tang Nuo's arms and looked puzzled: "Hostage? Although we don't prohibit this operation, you have to be careful when writing a report."

Gao Tianyi: "Are they hostages? Brother Bai said -"

Qi Zhuyue: "Not a hostage, this little girl is -"

The voices of the woman and the boy sounded together, and they replied with two completely different sentences.

They looked at each other and saw confusion in each other's eyes.

Gao Tianyi: "Brother Bai told me that he brought these hostages? Oh, by the way, there are also dog hostages... Where is the big yellow dog?"

Qi Zhuyue: "What big yellow dog? I didn't see it. I only saw this girl when I woke up in the cave, and..."

Speaking of this, Qi Zhuyue thought about how to describe it more appropriately. Before speaking, she glanced at Tang Nuo, indicating to Tang Nuo to hold the little girl in her arms and not to drop her on the ground.

Although Tang Nuo was puzzled, he still nodded.

"That's it..." Qi Zhuyue took a deep breath, "Bai Su said that this little girl is the... carrier of 'Wen Tao'? Anyway, 'Wen Tao''s consciousness can be attached to her."

As soon as he finished speaking, other people's eyes immediately glanced at the little girl, and Xia Chengyin clenched his fists.

They already knew about the two Wen Tao, but this was the first time they knew that the consciousness of the other "Wen Tao" could attach to other people.

"All of them or just a few? Just this little girl?"

"Ah...even if you ask me this, Senior Xia, I don't know!" Qi Zhuyue showed a tearless expression, "I only knew one or two hours earlier than you."

Xia Chengyin thought it was right, so he moved his eyes away to Gao Tianyina.

The young man also shook his head and said he didn't know.

Although he spent the most time with Bai Su, he was still confused about the route and the purpose of his actions.

Humanity only knows now that the current situation is unclear.

The sacrifice in Wenjia Village was interrupted, but on the other hand, after Wen Rongxuan rushed to the sacrifice site frantically and pointed out that he had transferred "Wen Tao", the conflict got out of hand.

Now, the two parties in Wenjia Village are still fighting, which is a bit beyond the scope of human intervention.

"...Can this little girl still be leaned over by 'Wen Tao' and put aside first?" Xia Chengyin jumped to a new question, "Why did Wen Rongxuan pretend to be us in the cave...? Could it be that he just wanted to let us know? The fake 'Wen Tao' was taken away by the village chief and others?"

If this is really the case, then Officer Cuntou can only give an evaluation of early treatment of the disease, and the sanatorium will not recommend him to a nursing home that the bureau cooperates with, ensuring that the person will stay in it for the rest of his life and will never be able to get out.

Qi Zhuyue opened her mouth, but finally closed it.

She personally felt that the answer might be what Xia Chengyin said.

If they didn't have the fork to fight, Wen Rongxuan would have used other methods to lure the villagers there.

No one answered, and the short-haired police officer didn't dig into it because the answer was already obvious.

He picked up the piece of paper covered in plastic again and asked Gao Tianyi, "When you and Bai Su came here, did you stay anywhere for a long time?"

"Hmm..." The young man thought hard and replied, "Yes, on a small hillside."

After Xia Chengyin got the answer, he led the people there. On the way, he met a few villagers who were wandering alone. They probably didn't have the village chief to take command. It was late at night now, and the fish-eyed villagers rushed up stupidly.

The strength of the few people in the special department has been reduced, and they are somewhat unable to do what they want, but that is for the villagers who have a large number of people. If there are only a few people in front of them now...

"Drink!" With a sharp blow over his shoulder, the villager who was knocked to the ground fainted immediately.

Each person is assigned to a villager, and even Qi Zhuyue can knock people out with a very standard posture.

Rather, Qi Zhuyue is in the best condition right now. She doesn't have any weird alienation debuffs, and she can be said to feel refreshed.

Tang Nuo: "So, you can move because your doppelganger was killed?"

Qi Zhuyue: "Huh? Maybe...it should be, right?"

said the human female with great uncertainty.

Qi Zhuyue followed at the end of the team, twirling her fingertips uneasily.

I always feel like... there's still something wrong.

The time they know is vague, and everything depends on the order of feeling.

Did her awakening and the death of her doppelganger on the altar really happen at the same time?

The human woman didn't understand. Until she followed the people in front of her to the hillside, she still thought that the time was wrong.

Gao Tianyi led several people back to the hillside. When asked which tree he was climbing on, he pointed to them.

Then, Xia Chengyin was like a monkey... okay, because his hands and feet were slightly mutated, his climbing speed was slowed down, but he still climbed to the top of the tree smoothly.

When he came down again, he had a book in his hand.

Gao Tianyi was familiar with this. He had read it at the village chief's house. He thought he hadn't been taken out, but he didn't expect it to be hidden.

There is a hand-drawn map of the village in the book. Several points are circled on the map. Together with the text on the page, it is basically clear that the circled place is where the things they are looking for are buried.

As long as they dig everywhere, dig out the remaining bones of "Wen Tao", and then destroy them.

Xia Chengyin: "How to destroy it?"

Gao Tianyi: "It's not mentioned in the book."

Xia Chengyin: "Forget it, let's leave first."

The nearest point on the map is not far from the hillside, and it only takes 5 minutes to run there.

The humans arrived there quickly. They saw some wandering villagers nearby, and without exception, they were knocked unconscious by them.

Since they had no conditions, they could only pile the villagers aside, hoping that when they came back to find people, the villagers would be safe and sound.

"It should be fine, right? Apart from the people from Wenjia Village, there are no other people here."

All that black silt went to other places, probably gathered at the lake.

It didn't take much time to dig out the bones. I found a nearby tool and shoveled it down. For example, the villagers' farm tools and weapons were very good.

Not long after, the farm tools hit something hard.Xia Chengyin, who was in charge of wielding farm tools, dug up the surrounding soil to expose the entire box.

The box is not small in size but slightly heavy. Not only does it have a lock, but it also has ominous talismans on the top, bottom, left and right.

Gao Tianyi glanced over his head and shook his head.

This is not anything within the scope of his knowledge, it is probably a crooked way.

"I guess it's to keep the bones here... Look at these nails."

When asked if he could open it, the young man thought for a moment and thought he might as well open it.

"We have to see what's inside and then figure out how to destroy it...ah." The young man's voice paused, "What is this?"

Although I had had a premonition, I was still a little surprised when I saw the small half of the fish tail appearing in the box.

Just... this is just a part of the corpse... it's already so huge.

The giant corpse tumbling in the lake seemed to appear before people's eyes, and its open claws could completely cover everyone.

The adults compared it calmly. The bones stacked in the box could be half a person tall when put together, and this was still a small part of the fish tail.

The next question is, how to deal with it.

I tried physical beating, but the bones were so hard that they couldn't be broken. Even if Xia Chengyin came, he could only create cracks.

Then, you can only use other methods.

Fire, lightning... In addition to water, all the methods that humans can think of were tried. In the end, it was more effective to throw the bones into the fire in conjunction with the words in the village chief's diary.

When wisps of black smoke rose, they seemed to still hear the piercing screams, breaking through the sky, as if they were about to pierce people's eardrums.

The humans immediately covered their ears, and when the sound stopped, they breathed a sigh of relief.

"... I still have to listen to this sound -" Gao Tianyi lowered his head and looked at the map, "... five times?"

Soon, they no longer had to worry about ruptured eardrums.

Humans instead need to worry about the safety of their lives.

"What is that..." The human boy's voice was trembling, "What is that?"

Gao Tianyi asked twice and couldn't help but take half a step back.

He stepped on the foot of the person behind him, but the person standing behind him didn't care about it.

What did they see?
At the location marked on the second map, a deep pit with a large diameter has been sunk. Looking from where they stood, they could see a soft white surging in the pit.

Inhale, exhale... Inhale, exhale... As the person exhales and inhales, the white piece also fluctuates and seems to be jumping.

For a few seconds, or possibly minutes, the humans couldn't tell how long they stood there, and they saw the white patch begin to creep up.

What looked like tentacles stretched out from the corner to support the ground, and then large groups covered the area. The groups sat outside the pit and formed a coil half as high as a person.

Eyes, densely packed eyes popped out from the white, one every few centimeters, looking in all directions.

I don't know what I saw, but all my eyes suddenly focused on the human side.

Was...discovered?
The human held his breath, fearing that something would happen, and even covered his mouth with his hands.

Countless eyes just glanced at it without stopping, but instead dragged their huge bodies and crawled a meter or two toward the grass where the humans were hiding.

There was a gurgling sound, which seemed to be a crawling sound.

He didn't completely reach the place where the humans were hiding, but walked around in a circle, and the unsettling sounds gradually moved away.

When the sound completely disappeared, the human gradually felt his numb legs.

Most people calmed down and stood up to look at the traces left on the ground, except Qi Zhuyue.

White...white...eyes?
A familiar combination she had only recently heard of.

The human woman blinked, and she suddenly felt a weight on her legs.

The little girl's laughter came from her ears, and soon the laughter turned into bursts of crying, and the high-pitched voice penetrated into her mind.

Qi Zhuyue lowered her head and saw the little girl hugging her legs.

Wait... isn't she... isn't she being carried by Senior Tang?
The little girl was holding her legs, crying, and talking about those unforgettable words.

"Big brother, big brother has changed his appearance. He...he has become...white, white...with many eyes..."

This description matched what she had just seen.

But... how could it be possible? Bai Su shouldn't be there... The human woman thought blankly, Bai Su had just thrown into that lake, how could he appear here?
In a daze, she seemed to see a black-haired young man walking from the depths of the cave, with his handsome face smiling at her.

In front of her was the sinister smile of a black-haired young man, and in her ears was the crying of a little girl, which made her brain swell.

"Qi...Qi Zhuyue!"

Suddenly, she came to her senses amid the shouts of others.

There was no black-haired young man smiling at her in front of her. Instead, there was only an open land and a bottomless pit.

……

Sink, sink deeply.

There is a very wide space at the bottom of the lake, both horizontally and vertically, giving it enough space for activities.

There were still water columns dripping down from above. The bottom of the lake was hollowed out, and white beings were entrenched there, eating up the area of ​​the lake little by little.

Wrapped in the water, the giant corpse, with only its tail still intact, was struggling.

Above is the black silt that blocks the surface of the lake and keeps pushing it downwards. Its operator has completely blended into it and cannot distinguish his body shape.

The skeleton of the giant hand resisted the black mud and clawed hard. It roared angrily, making the lake water even more turbid with its movements.

The turbid lake water fell downwards, because the bottom was completely hollowed out, and the liquid dripped down in scattered pieces, all of which were absorbed by the white existence.

This is exactly what the giant corpse resists.

It doesn't want to be swallowed... It doesn't want to, doesn't want to, doesn't want to, doesn't want to feel the pain of being swallowed anymore, it doesn't want to--

Before the silent cry was completely revealed, the giant corpse suddenly felt a familiar sharp pain, coming from its tail. The flesh and blood on it melted away, revealing the dense white bones below.

After howling miserably, the giant corpse asked why.

why why why?Isn't that existence at the bottom of the lake?

It seemed that something incomprehensible had happened to the giant corpse. The senses of being burned and incinerated were completely different from the senses of being devoured. The latter frightened it, as if its heart was being eaten by thousands of ants.

So, until the entire tail lost its skin and flesh and melted like its upper body, the tailbone was pumped heavily in the water, losing its buoyancy and being pressed out of the water by the black silt.

It was trapped by gravity and quickly fell towards the existence it feared.
