Chapter 227 He no longer has to be afraid of those things
This is a vending machine.
Xiao Zhen can confirm this.
If it appeared on the street, Xiaozhen probably wouldn't even give it a glance.
But at this moment, it appeared in this abandoned demolished building, coming in a whirlwind and landing with fragments of bricks and stones.
Bang!
The ground is shaking.
Xiao Zhen yelled, "Why is there a vending machine here??"
Cui Mingzhi muttered, "Yeah, why?"
Xiaozhen squatted down and asked, "Cui Mingzhi, what happened?"
Cui Mingzhi's face was filled with confusion and fear. "I wanted to go to your house, but then I was taken away ."
"Psychopath?"
"Then this vending machine comes and starts fighting with the psychopath!"
The vending machine next to him, which appeared in an inappropriate place at the wrong time, flashed its lights a few times as if in response to Choi Ming-chi's words.
“…”
Cui Mingzhi's face suddenly changed. He pointed to the end of the corridor and shouted, "That psychopath is here again!!"
In Xiaozhen's eyes, the vision in this building suddenly turned from bright to dark, and dirty spots spread in the air. Has the other party's consciousness been confused to this extent? The black mist-like corrosive murderous intent was spreading from the end of the corridor. A figure appeared.
"Vending machine!! Vending machine!! Why is there a vending machine here!!" the man cursed.
Cui Mingzhi said: "That's him! He's crazy! He said he killed many people and he's going to kill me too!"
The vending machine turned its iron body and blocked the man's way.
Like a steel barrier.
“Why did you stop me!!” the man yelled, “Why did you stop me!? I understand, you are the monster’s accomplice. That’s right, that explains everything.”
The man's fist hit the vending machine fiercely. Almost at the same time, invisible force vibrated in the air, and countless tiny cracks like spider webs appeared on the walls on both sides of the aisle. In Xiaozhen's opinion, this punch was enough to break a 50cm thick hard stone, and it was also enough to make metal twist and deform. But the vending machine did not move a step. It took on the man's superhuman strength with its iron body and stood firm.
After realizing this, the man roared in anger, and his fists hit the vending machine one after another like a swift cannonball. The steel shell of the vending machine was covered with uneven pits. But the vending machine was not just quietly taking the beating. With the flashing lights prompting charging, bright arcs of light suddenly burst out.
Amid screams, the man was entangled by the electric light released by the vending machine. Then, the front end of the vending machine transformed into a gun muzzle, shooting out dazzling flashes at the man's vital parts.
“Ahhhhhhhhhh——”
The energy created a huge airflow, catapulting him directly to the opposite wall. The man screamed. The damage from the light cannon was obvious. A hole was pierced through his body, his flesh was dissolving, and red steam was rising from his mutilated body. The electric light was still moving on his body.
"Ha, ha, ha." The man glared at the vending machine with resentment. He was still alive.
The vending machine adjusted its muzzle, this time aiming it at the man's head.
"Okay, MTA-type office robot. This is your model, right?" Xiao Zhen said, "He has lost his combat effectiveness. I have something to ask him."
The vending machine retracted its barrel, and its appearance returned to that of a vending machine. It slid to the side of Xiaozhen and Cui Mingzhi. Cui Mingzhi looked confused. He looked at the smoking man in the distance, then at the vending machine, and then at Xiaozhen. It was obvious that his brain did not know whose information to process first.
Xiao Zhen jumped onto the rubble and walked towards the man who was lying against the wall.
"Damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it!" said the man lying on the ground. "These monsters are all in the same group. How despicable! Can they disguise themselves as vending machines now?"
Xiao Zhen asked: "What kind of monster are you talking about?"
"They are the monsters hiding in human society!! They are the enemy of mankind, and they have been killing humans!!"
"How do you know they kill people?"
"I saw them kill my parents with my own eyes. My parents never did anything bad, but the monsters killed them and tore them to pieces right in front of my eyes." His bones were creaking, "Those monsters!! Those monsters are the enemy of mankind!!"
"Then why did they let you go?"
"They also got into my body. I knew it, I always knew it. Later, I kept fighting them with my will, and in the end I won, and I got their power. I know I am special. This is a test from heaven, from God. I passed the test. So I have a mission."
"What mission?"
"Kill all those monsters. The fact that I am alive means that God wants someone to be God's messenger to save humanity. My willpower and strength have proved this. So I must kill them all..."
"Why did you kill an innocent person like Choi Mingzhi?"
“Innocent? They are not innocent!!” the man shouted, “They must have been possessed by monsters, just like me at that time, and turned into puppets of monsters. So I want to kill them all… This is my mission, yes, this is justice!”
Xiaozhen shook her head.
"Why are you shaking your head? Are you also an accomplice of the monster?"
"Although you claim to be protecting humanity, look at yourself. Can you still be called a human being now?"
Crunch, crunch, in the empty hole on the man's body, the bones melted by the laser cannon were recovering with a creaking sound, and the cut surface of the flesh and blood grew long leaf-like fleshy tentacles, which were spitting out mucus-like substances to repair his body. The man glanced at his chest, staring at the naked and twisting foreign body in his body in horror, as if he was seeing it for the first time.
"...No! I am a human! I have defeated the monster in my body!" The man raised his head and shouted excitedly, "I am a human. I am just using the power of the monster in my body."
"Really? But now not only is your body occupied, there is no human brain in your head anymore." Xiao Zhen stared at the man, "You actually know better than anyone."
"You're lying!! I'm still myself..."
"It looks like your body has been eaten up decades ago. Are you really still yourself?" Xiao Zhen stood up and said calmly, "Or, Horner, are you just borrowing the remaining consciousness of humans..."
"You're talking nonsense! Nonsense!" The smelly steam was rising, and the man's body was changing. He stood up, his body was still dripping with blood, and the big hole that was originally pierced through was filled with wriggling leaves. He stared at Xiao Zhen, and the veins like living things twitched on his face. Several long leaves with sharp light extended from his back like whips. Now he could no longer be called a human being.
"You are talking nonsense! You are also a monster! You are all monsters! You are just using sweet words to deceive me! In fact, you are all enemies of mankind!" The man who no longer looks like a human kept talking, "You must be killed! Anyone who has anything to do with monsters must be killed!!! I am a person who has passed God's test, and I am enforcing justice!"
"Don't make your hunting and eating behavior sound so righteous." Xiao Zhen sighed, "Have you noticed that except for those poor children, the people you killed were all weak."
"Because I am a messenger of God, I have been given a unique power."
"No. That's because you, or your original body, the Horner, have always chosen species with little combat power, so that it is easier for you to hunt and eat. In fact, you have never fought against a species that is truly capable of combat, or your original body has always been deliberately avoiding threatening enemies. Bullying the weak and fearing the strong is also the characteristic of creatures like the Horner."
“Nonsense———————” the man roared angrily.
"MTA logistics robot, take Choi Mingzhi away from here." Xiao Zhen said without turning back.
The vending machine's screen flashed, and a mechanical arm emerged from its steel body. It picked up Choi Ming-chi and walked out of the corridor as Choi Ming-chi called out to Yan Zhen in confusion.
"You're talking nonsense - I'm going to kill you!!" the man roared , and he rushed towards Xiaozhen, waving a long-leafed flesh whip with a sharp blade.
Xiaozhen raised a hand.
In an instant, the man was bound by hundreds of silver threads. He struggled desperately between the flickering silver threads, trying to break the cage that suddenly appeared. But no one could break through the dense net that Xiaozhen wove with the threads of consciousness. It transcended the spirit and was above reality.
No one can escape from the consciousness trap created by Xiaozhen.
"You tried to kill my friend. That's why you died today." Xiao Zhen said calmly.
The threads turned, sparks shone, the light trembled, and the man in the dense net screamed silently. The pale invisible flame was devouring him, "Ah... Ah... I'm melting... My body is melting..."
The white fire separated his flesh and blood and turned them into liquid, but the rest of his body was still struggling.
“Ahhh! My body! I clearly passed the test! I am God’s…”
Xiao Zhen clenched her fists, and the man's body turned into floating ashes before it even hit the ground.
In reality, the man stared and collapsed to the ground.
He was just an empty shell.
…
…
Young Chu Hongyi saw his little squirrel.
His only friend in his childhood was the bouncy and well-behaved little squirrel.
"Wait for me!" He ran after the little squirrel. The little squirrel ran in front and he followed closely behind.
Running and running, he ran into a familiar street.
Heat rose from the ground. It was summer vacation, the summer vacation before my mother fell ill and was hospitalized.
Then he saw his father and mother. His father was riding a bicycle, wearing a sweaty vest as he remembered, and his mother was sitting behind him. She was wearing a long dress with light-colored floral patterns. She was in high spirits and waved to him tenderly.
"Dad - Mom -"
Dad stopped, and Mom jumped down and hugged Allen Chu. "Where are you going in such a hurry?"
"Dad, Mom, I had a terrible nightmare. I dreamed that you were killed by a monster and that monster got into my body. I was so scared..." he cried with tears streaming down his face.
Mom stroked his head tenderly.
"I hate them so much, I really hate them. I have always thought that I should drive them all away. There must never be another child like me in the future. I have always wanted to drive them away. But in the end, I seemed to have become them, and they seemed to have become me... Mom, I am really scared..."
His mother hugged him. "It's okay, Hongyi. Did you have a nightmare? Your parents are by your side now."
He closed his eyes and hugged his parents tightly.
He just knew that he didn't have to be afraid of those things anymore.
