The Secret Art of Refining the Dead: The Walking Corpse File

Chapter 439 Corpse King
Lying on the ground with eyes closed, listening to Ke Xiangu's non-stop rambling, and finally praising her daughter's various advantages, it feels a bit like a lullaby, making people drowsy.Tan Ren on one side is the furthest away from us.Although he has an obsession with cleanliness, he didn't deliberately stay away that far before, so his behavior now makes me a little strange.

In fact, I really don't feel any fear in my heart. I have been together for more than a year, and my brothers who have been born and died, have nothing to be afraid of.

Rather than fear, it is better to say doubt and sadness.

Feeling sorry for my brother, he might be a refined 'corpse king'. This boss, who is furry, clean, and vicious but protects his weaknesses, is actually a person who doesn't exist at all. Thinking about it makes me feel worried.

From the bottom of my heart, I don't want him to be a "corpse king". I would rather he is the legendary Quebah. Although he is still not human, at least he is alive.

Countless questions, because of Ke Xiangu's presence, I couldn't ask them, I kept them all in my heart, it was really uncomfortable.

At this moment, Tan Ren seemed to have noticed my scrutiny, and glanced at me sideways, then got up and walked out, Zhou Xuanye asked: "Brother, what are you doing?"

Tan Ren replied indifferently: "Go to the toilet." I used to think that Zhou Xuanye was very strange, as if he cared too much about Tan Ren, but from another perspective, if Tan Ren is the corpse king he refined, then this Concern is very reasonable.Even though the corpse king does not have a real soul and thinking, there is still a "program running", and no one knows what he will do in the next moment.

My heart moved, and I immediately understood that he was trying to lure me out, so Dang even got up and said, "I'll go too."

After walking out of the door, Tan Ren wandered slowly to a wasteland not far away, and stood there quietly, his figure looked very vicissitudes, with a faint sense of pretense.I walked up to him and said, "Boss, stop posing."

Tan Guimao didn't hit me back with a poisonous tongue this time, but said slowly: "If you want to know something, just ask."

I lifted my spirits and asked the question I was most concerned about: "Are you Brother Zhou's 'Corpse King'?"

He froze for a moment, then frowned, and said, "No!" in a rather unfriendly tone.I immediately breathed a sigh of relief, only to feel that my hanging heart finally returned to my stomach, and said: "You scared me to death."

Tan Guimao said, "You're just asking this?"

I said: "As long as you are not the corpse king, no matter what you are, you are my brother! But... you should stop transforming in the future, the habit of eating human flesh is really bad."

Tan Ren didn't respond to this, but asked instead: "Is it true, as long as it's not the corpse king, the rest doesn't matter."

"of course."

Tan Ren seemed dissatisfied with this answer, his expression was very serious, and he said coldly: "Do you remember those rotting corpses in the corpse pit?"

"remember."

He said, "I ate it all."

I felt a little sick to my stomach. Seriously, the rotting corpses in the corpse pit were green, sticky, and smelly. It was even more disgusting than eating living human flesh.I didn't know why Tan Ren suddenly mentioned this, so I didn't speak.

Immediately afterwards, he said again: "I eat those people in the Yumen underground palace."

The bloody, gnawed corpse with its guts all over the floor was recalled from my memory, and my scalp went numb, and I said, "I know all of this."

Tan Ren said: "I can't control my transformation when I'm stimulated, and I don't realize it. The next time I bite, it may be you."

"Boss, try not to take on dangerous jobs in the future."

Tan Ren narrowed his eyes and said: "I always thought you were timid and afraid of getting into trouble, but I didn't expect that now it really impresses me."

Knowing that Tan Guimao is not the corpse king, I felt much more relaxed, and said: "It's funny, there are still many things that make you look different."

Tan Ren took a deep look at me, and suddenly said: "What if I am the corpse king?"

"Don't be kidding, this joke is cold."

Tan Ren didn't make a sound, but that expression made me feel a little bit in my heart.

I couldn't help but said: "Didn't you just say... you are not the corpse king?"

Tan Ren paused and said: "I mean... I was not made by Zhou Xuanye."

All of a sudden, I just felt that the five thunders were on top of me. Tan Ren is not a person who knows how to joke. He is born without a muscle for joking, so I can be sure that his words are definitely not ignoring me.

Immediately afterwards, he said: "Zhou Xuanye should have told you what the corpse king means."

I nodded, took a deep breath, and forced myself to calm down: "Boss, why are you telling me this?"

Tan Ren said: "Even if you don't say it, you can guess that there is nothing to hide. Do you still think it doesn't matter now?"

"Of course there is something, the corpse king...you are the corpse king! How can there be such a strange thing in this world, how can it be exactly like a living person! You were not made by Zhou Xuanye, so who did you make it?"

Tan Ren said: "Zhou Xuanye's two blows didn't come home. As for who made me, don't worry about it. I just want to tell you... stay away from Zhou Xuanye."

I was stunned, even Tan Guimao said that?
"Brother Zhou, what is his identity? What is his purpose? Tell me the truth. Aren't you brothers and sisters? Why do you say such things?"

Tan Ren said nonchalantly; "He and this corpse are indeed brothers, but not with me. I am just a consciousness formed from the soul, just like those stocks, just a bunch of data."

"Boss..." For a moment, I didn't know what to say.

Tan Ren immediately said: "I don't know Zhou Xuanye's plan, but he will definitely not recruit someone in for no reason, he is too protective of you, this is not normal."

That's right, starting from the desert, from the time he rescued me with the three-altar séance, all this is very unusual.Zhou Xuanye and I are neither close nor old, but his care for me has already surpassed the scope of ordinary brothers.

What is he trying to do?
Tan Ren said the same thing, and Zhou Lao Er said the same thing.

Even Zhou Er Er said that Zhou Xuanye would make my life worse than death.

What exactly is Zhou Xuanye's purpose?
I stood where I was, and found it hard to move my footsteps. The stimulation I am receiving now is simply too great.The boss is not the boss, but some San Po, something like a computer program; the brother is not a brother, but someone who covets me, and may attack me at any time to make my life worse than death.

In this world, what else is real?
I'm not a tomb robber, and I haven't done anything harmful to nature, but why am I so miserable?
Tan Ren patted my shoulder with his gloved hand, and said, "That's all I have to say, so let's do it myself." After speaking, he walked back.I stood there without moving for a moment, the cold night wind might calm me down, and finally I sat on the ground and quietly reviewed the experience of the past year.

In the end, I discovered that Zhou Xuanye had paid too much for me. If he really wanted to achieve a certain goal from me, then this goal must not be easy.Moreover, if I want to get out of the body, I am afraid it will not be easy.

Zhou Xuanye knew what Zhou Lao Er said, he should be very clear about my suspicion of him.

The skin is equivalent to being torn in half, so will Zhou Xuanye continue to pretend?

His first reaction at the time was to tell me not to trust Zhou Lao Er, and it seemed that he didn't want to turn against me so quickly.

what should I do?
If I really want to do what Zhou Laoer and Tan Ren said, I guess it will be difficult to get out, because Zhou Xuanye will definitely not let me go, maybe even the remaining half of my face will be torn apart.

No, I have to think of a way, this matter must be cleared up.

After blowing the wind for a while, I slowly calmed down, got up and planned to go back to sleep, no matter what the situation was, I had to leave the mountain first.Unexpectedly, just as I was about to leave, something suddenly flashed in the grass not far away, like a shadow.

I was startled and wondered if I was dazzled, because I was only holding a low-power flashlight in my hand at the moment, and the light was not very good.When I blinked and took a closer look, I realized that there was something like a civet cat lying on the place. When the light came on, I saw that the thing was twice the size of a normal civet cat. , a pair of big eyes staring straight at me.

That kind of eyes didn't look like the eyes an animal should have. I thought of my golden muscles and jade bones that attract ghosts, and my heart skipped a beat, thinking that this huge civet cat is not a mountain spirit, right?

As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, he saw something appearing quietly behind the civet cat.When I saw it, my almost unfazed eyes popped out, and I saw that it was a big snake with a thick curved mouth.

The big snake ignored me, to be precise, it didn't look at me at all, but quietly raised its tongue, spitting out the message slightly, the whole snake head was tilted back, staring at the big civet cat, as if It was going to sneak attack, and the big civet cat didn't seem to realize that there was something hiding behind him.

Maybe it's because the civet cat's eyes are too human-like, I couldn't help shouting: "Be careful!"

The civet cat seemed to understand what I said, and suddenly rushed to the nearby grass, and the big snake bit nothing.
