Chapter 75: Evil God (Thirty-Seven)
Apparently, there were many people who shared the same idea as Qiao Yuan, so much so that when she finished speaking, many people nodded.
Qiao Yuan felt a gaze of grievance and shock falling on her, but she had no time to look at it, because Sun Liao's body suddenly twitched violently several times as if he was electrocuted, and then he was vomited out by the table pocket.
But at this time, Sun Liao had become a lifeless corpse.
His face had been bitten beyond recognition, his appearance was unrecognizable, his eye sockets were empty, his eyeballs were missing, and most of the flesh on his lips was torn off, exposing his snow-white teeth. His entire upper body seemed to have been broken because he had been forcefully pulled into a table pocket that was not the right size for him. His chest had collapsed and his two arms were obviously broken.
Sun Liao's pocket was bulging, and it looked like a cell phone. Zhang Ying was still hesitant, but Lin Xi had already used a prop to hook the cell phone out of Sun Liao's pocket. When the last teammate died, the health value fell into Sun Liao's hands. At that time, Lin Xi secretly regretted that she was a step late, but she didn't expect that the health value would fall back into her hands so soon.
Now she was actually thankful that Sun Liao died early enough, as she probably didn't have time to use up all those health points.
The "crunch" and "crunch" sounds mixed with laughter in the table pocket soon stopped, and accompanied by two "pooh" sounds, something flew out of the table pocket and rolled in front of Qiao Yuan.
Qiao Yuan looked down and saw an eyeball covered with bite marks staring back at her. Needless to say, this must be Sun Liao's lost eyeball.
The eyeball was like a switch. The next second, a figure quickly flashed out from the table pocket. The other person was so fast that Qiao Yuan only had time to see a shadow before the other person landed on the podium in front.
Everyone was finally able to see the appearance of the infant spirit they had been looking for.
The other person was indeed the same as described in the group, smaller than a normal baby, and it was difficult to associate the other person with a baby just by looking at their appearance.
The infant spirit has no skin, and its flesh, blood, and meridians are directly exposed, like an animal cub that has been skinned alive and is covered in blood. Because it is very young and cannot walk, it can only lie on the podium with its limbs on the ground.
But even though we already know its nature, the fact that its mouth, with its barely recognizable facial features, is still chewing Sun Liao's flesh and blood makes it hard for people to feel pity for it.
Lin Xi and Zhang Ying had already subconsciously thrown away the props in their hands, but ordinary props really had no effect on it, and it dodged them easily. It obviously treated this as a game, and did not show any anger, and even laughed "chuckle", revealing its sharp teeth mixed with meat, which were completely different from its age.
Yu Ruozhou took out a vintage pocket watch, but Qiao Yuan, who had looked at the mall, had already recognized that this was a high-end prop that could hypnotize ghosts, but it was also ineffective against infant spirits.
Looking at the shaking pocket watch, the infant spirit leaped over like a kitten seeing a cat toy. However, its lethality was obviously inconsistent with its size. If Yu Ruozhou had not thrown out the pocket watch in time and used defensive props, he would have been hit directly with a hole. However, even so, his palm was still injured.
The infant spirit was obviously not interested in the stationary pocket watch. After fiddling with it a few times with its short hands, it stopped moving and shifted its attention to other places.
The infant spirit’s next target is Qiao Yuan.
However, Qiao Yuan had already prepared a shadow spell, but as her shadow was kneaded and stretched like plasticine, a thin and tall shadow with a top hat replaced the original shadow.
According to the previous process, the infant spirit should have run away trembling by now, but the other party was not afraid at all and even pounced directly on the shadow to bite it.
The baby spirit is not afraid of the ghost in the top hat!
The ghost in the top hat felt pain and tried to shake off the baby spirit, but unexpectedly, he threw the baby spirit towards Qiao Yuan instead.
However, Qiao Yuan was not panicked. The ghost doll in her pocket had already crawled out of her pocket, ready to exchange one life for another.
However, before the baby spirit pounced over, a hand with distinct joints had already picked up the baby spirit.
Everyone present subconsciously looked over, and Zhang Ying subconsciously said directly: "You actually caught the infant spirit with your bare hands..."
Qiao Yuan also looked over with a puzzled and thoughtful look.
The handsome young man was holding the terrifying-looking baby spirit in his arms. The baby spirit, which originally had a grumpy look, was now nestled safely in the young man's arms, with a giggle coming from its bloody face.
Fu Xiuzhu quickly explained: "I saw that girl before was always using the hugging posture, so I thought this might be useful."
Many people believed Fu Xiuzhu's words, and when they looked at the bloody baby, they had no desire to hug it. Some people even felt fortunate that Fu Xiuzhu had hugged the baby first.
But there are also people who don’t believe what Fu Xiuzhu says.
Yu Ruozhou was more inclined to believe that the other party had used some props, and Qiao Yuan was more suspicious of Fu Xiuzhu. After all, even the ghost in the top hat couldn't solve the infant spirit just now, but the other party easily lifted it up...
However, for now they can only rely on Fu Xiuzhu. After all, the ghost in the top hat cannot destroy the infant spirit. They can only do as the previous team did and coax the infant spirit into submission before escaping from here.
Of course, if she could confirm that Fu Xiuzhu was the evil god, she would be able to complete the task directly.
But did Fu Xiuzhu, who was holding the baby spirit at the moment, really guess the correct posture for coaxing a child by accident, or was it purely bloodline suppression?
"Mr. Fu, your posture of holding the child is very standard. It seems that you will be a good father in the future." Lin Xi wanted to continue talking to Fu Xiuzhu before, but for some reason, he felt a little nervous when he got close to him. But now that he saw that he easily subdued the infant spirit, he wanted to make friends with him again. Moreover, looking at the abilities shown by these people, it was questionable whether they could snatch their lives, so it was better to build a good relationship before going out.
Fortunately, a natural topic came up at this time. Looking at Fu Xiuzhu holding the infant spirit in his arms, Lin Xi naturally praised him and even added a rather ambiguous sentence: "Didn't there say before that you get the priority to choose a spouse? Anyway, as a girl, I like this kind of thing..."
Before she finished her words, she noticed that Fu Xiuzhu's posture of holding the child became more standard. Lin Xi knew that she had found the right topic. Sure enough, there was no one who didn't like to be praised. She wanted to take advantage of the victory and compliment him a few more times, but she found that Fu Xiuzhu's eyes were sharp, and she felt inexplicably flustered. Lin Xi's first reaction was that she had said something wrong, but she soon realized that Fu Xiuzhu was not looking at her.
Following Fu Xiuzhu's gaze, Lin Xi realized that the other person's eyes finally fell on Qiao Yuan.
However, Song Yanchi and Yu Ruozhou were already standing next to Qiao Yuan. Song Yanchi was nervously asking Qiao Yuan if he was injured, while Yu Ruozhou said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I wanted to save you immediately, but my hand was injured, so I was a step slower..."
Qiao Yuan was originally thinking about Fu Xiuzhu's matter, but when he heard Yu Ruzhou's words, he subconsciously looked over.
Yu Ruozhou also spread out his palms, with the skin and flesh on the palms turned outward, looking very scary.
Qiao Yuan knew what Yu Ruzhou meant. He probably wanted to arouse her sympathy through this incident so that she would transfer health points or buy healing potions. But unfortunately, the other party met her, so Qiao Yuan pretended not to understand Yu Ruzhou's thoughts and just looked at the other party's palm with a heartbroken tone: "How could this happen? I didn't expect that the infant spirit was so powerful..."
Yu Ruozhou: “…”
Although he still had enough health points to buy potions, after seeing Qiao Yuan use the shadow spell again, he became more and more certain that the other party had a lot of health points, so he wanted to take it directly from her. After all, his relationship with Qiao Yuan had become much closer than before.
However, after seeing the wound, she clearly showed pain on her face, so why did the topic change to something else? !
Seeing that the topic was about to shift from wound treatment to conquering the infant spirit, Yu Ruozhou quickly led the topic back to himself: "It does hurt, but I can bear it. After all, I can save my health to protect you..."
Although Song Yanchi didn't know what Yu Ruzhou was planning, it didn't stop him from making a sarcastic remark: "Then why don't you just bear with it?"
Qiao Yuan continued to speak along with Song Yanchi's words: "I feel bad for you doing this, please stop protecting me."
Yu Ruozhou: “…”
He didn't know whether Qiao Yuan felt sorry for him or not, but he thought the other party might be thirsty, after all, he had said a lot so far.
However, Qiao Yuan has always been like a steely straight woman. Maybe he should change his strategy and state his demands directly?
Before Yu Ruzhou could say anything, a hissing sound was suddenly heard in the room, which attracted Qiao Yuan's attention. Yu Ruzhou suppressed his impatience and looked in the direction of the sound.
The voice came from Fu Xiuzhu.
Because the baby spirit had been very well behaved in Fu Xiuzhu's arms, Yu Ruzhou had not paid much attention to it before. Unexpectedly, when he turned around and looked again, the baby spirit still looked well-behaved, but Fu Xiuzhu's hand was injured, with a wound across the back of his hand. As the thin tendons throbbed, bright red blood slid down his fingertips.
The infant spirit raised its hand and tried to grasp his fingertips, but he avoided it casually.
Feeling that everyone's eyes were on him, Fu Xiuzhu lowered his eyes and said, "Sorry, I'm hurt."
Qiao Yuan looked at the baby spirit warily: "Did the baby spirit scratch you?"
Fu Xiuzhu: “…”
For some reason, Lin Xi felt that he felt wronged.
However, Qiao Yuan's words successfully drew everyone's attention back to the infant spirit. Although Lin Xi, who was closer to Fu Xiuzhu and the infant spirit, did not see the infant spirit take action, this did not prevent Lin Xi from believing Fu Xiuzhu's words. He became more wary of the infant spirit and subconsciously stepped a few steps away: "Sure enough, his bloodline should not be underestimated."
When Zhang Ying heard Lin Xi's words, he also thought of another more important thing: "Wait, it is said that father and son are connected by heart. Now that we beat the younger one, He will not come directly to our house to kill us, right?"
Fu Xiuzhu paused and lowered his head to ask the baby spirit: "Whose child are you?"
Although everyone knew that the other party could still speak, they all subconsciously ignored this point because the infant spirit had been just smiling since it fell into Fu Xiuzhu's arms and had no intention of joining any discussion.
Hearing Fu Xiuzhu's words, the baby spirit that was originally holding the fingertips laughed: "Mom...long hair...Dad...I don't know..."
Fu Xiuzhu's face changed.
Fortunately, the baby spirit pointed to his stomach again: "They are all here... They are too full..."
It obviously means eating one's biological parents as food.
And in the eyes of the infant spirit, the girl before was just an edible toy.
However, everyone finally realized that the infant spirits were not his children. After all, they didn't know where the other party was giving orders to them.
Yu Ruozhou looked at the bloody face of the infant spirit and said, "I was thinking that his true body might look like this, too."
Song Yanchi: "What a pity! If He had come to us, we would have been able to complete our mission and find out His true identity."
After hearing Song Yanchi's words, Lin Xi and Zhang Ying looked at him with complicated expressions. They didn't expect that the other party was still remembering the final mission while circling around Qiao Yuan.
Qiao Yuan's gaze fell on Fu Xiuzhu. The other party seemed to care too much about this matter, as if he was defending his innocence. Now he was injured by the infant spirit again. Was it to confuse them?
However, the most important thing for everyone present right now is to leave this mission first.
Although the infant spirit seemed to be in a good mood now, it was harder to coax than they had imagined. Even after an hour, it refused to open the passage.
In order to get close to Fu Xiuzhu, Lin Xi even plucked up the courage to hug the baby spirit to coax him. However, as soon as she left Fu Xiuzhu's arms, the baby spirit immediately showed its sharp teeth, which made her courage disappear in an instant.
Fu Xiuzhu was very patient with the infant spirit. Even Qiao Yuan couldn't help but praise him for his patience with the child, which made Fu Xiuzhu's eyes light up.
After noticing that Qiao Yuan's eyes would occasionally fall on Fu Xiuzhu, Song Yanchi and Yu Ruzhou were on the same side this time. Looking at Fu Xiuzhu's appearance, they both snorted in their hearts at the other's reaction, but Song Yanchi said it directly: "Like a dog."
Lin Xi and Zhang Ying were originally worried that Fu Xiuzhu would stop taking care of the baby spirit because of his anger, but they didn't expect that he seemed not to have heard anything at all. He just turned around and said to Qiao Yuan: "I actually like children very much."
It was not until the bright moon hung high outside the window that the baby spirit finally closed its eyes, as if falling into a peaceful sleep.
At the same time, a passage appeared in front of them.
At first, no one present dared to move. It was Song Yanchi who took the lead and walked in front to clear the way for Qiao Yuan.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after watching Song Yanchi walk through the passage and hearing a clear voice coming from one end, indicating that he had returned to the normal campus.
Lin Xi and Zhang Ying were almost crying with joy when they saw it. They found it at the same time as the Red Team, so they could also get out. After confirming that the passage could be returned, they almost couldn't wait to run in.
Yu Ruozhou reminded Qiao Yuan to go with him. Qiao Yuan turned to look at Fu Xiuzhu, who was still standing there holding the sleeping baby spirit and had no intention of leaving. She was a little confused: "Aren't you leaving?"
Fu Xiuzhu smiled and said, "You guys go first, I'll put it down and leave."
As he spoke, he carefully placed the baby spirit on the table beside him.
After hearing Fu Xiuzhu's words, Qiao Yuan and Yu Ruzhou also turned around.
The passage can only accommodate one person at a time.
Qiao Yuan stepped into the passage first. After taking a few steps, Yu Ruzhou's footsteps did not sound behind him. Instead, there was a "thump" sound.
Qiao Yuan turned around as if he sensed something and found that Yu Ruzhou, who was supposed to be following behind him, had fallen in front of the passage. The baby spirit, who had been sleeping soundly, had woken up again and was lying on Yu Ruzhou's back.
Yu Ruzhou obviously did not expect the infant spirit to suddenly attack, and was trying to reach out to take the props in his pocket, while Fu Xiuzhu next to him also looked stunned.
