Chapter 166: Grudges (Thanks to Chen Ergou for being the leader
Like all unexpected troubles, bad news always comes suddenly.

For example, when you close the door, you remember that you forgot to bring your key or turn off the gas; when you finish eating, you find half a cockroach butt on your plate; when you open your eyes, you find your pet lying on the bedside and you seem to have eaten chocolate in your dream...

Sometimes, teammates suddenly lose their minds and explode with you, and it's really helpless when encountering such things.

When a person is extremely speechless, he will be unable to speak.

But this time is different from usual. It is possible that I will never be able to speak again in this life.

Just when Kong Yebai picked up the intercom and cried out to the officiating priest that something bad had happened, everyone heard a faint ticking sound from their rapid breathing and heartbeats...

In his rapidly rising and falling chest.

When the bewildered teammates subconsciously reached out and pulled open his collar, they saw the dark seam that even Kong Yebai hadn't noticed.

The moment they reacted, the person in the front couldn't help but stare:
"You he--"

boom! ! !
Just like that, with the last half of his life's curse words, he closed his eyes forever.

The flames and air waves spread, and a large amount of explosives and poison that were crushed into powder engulfed everything like a tsunami. Scarlet danced like a tide, sweeping and covering every inch of space.

The hot blood rain rose and fell like fireworks, gathering in this violent heat wave. With a loud roar, broken limbs rose to the ceiling, flew out of the window, or passed over the collapsed walls and fell into the corridor.

Countless unfortunate patients were crushed to pieces in an instant, and even more hungry patients flocked in, devouring them in ecstasy, licking them, and howling with excitement.

And in the billowing smoke, shrill wails were heard.

In the corner, several squirming figures were wailing and struggling, trying to crawl out of the fire.

After all, the hastily prepared nitroglycerin explosion was no match for Lu Feng's previous phlogiston explosives. The Chosen One's lifespan was also beyond common sense. Even after being hit in the face by such a horrific explosion, he was still able to retain his breath.

A large herd, a white deer, and a ruin, all of them were known for their toughness. But now, they were suddenly devastated, and they were already 80% to 90% dead.

But as if things were not going as planned, from outside the shattered wall, there were shrill laughter and crying. The ghost fetus that was crawling on the wall like a wild dog poked its head out, grinning hungrily and opening its mouth wide.

After violently sucking in a large amount of flesh, blood, and residual souls, it turned around, set its sights on a badly injured Chosen One, opened its huge mouth and pounced on him.

“Ahhhhh!! Help… Help… Save me… Save me!!!”

He rolled on the ground amid miserable cries, but he didn't care about the rest of his teammates whose injuries were not too serious at the moment. They climbed out using their hands and feet, as if they didn't hear anything, and even ignored the increasingly impatient questions coming from the intercom in the corner.

But unfortunately, after passing through the thick smoke, the first thing I saw was a face as pale as a ghost.

As the flesh and blood squirmed, it transformed into a brand new face.

A smile appeared.

Reached out his hand to the survivor, gently, a touch.

"Go to sleep, have a good sleep." Xie Lan's tone was gentle: "When you wake up, everything will be over."

Things the size of dust particles vaguely floated into his mouth and nose, and then, the living poison formed by the combination of poison and curse took root in the spiritual essence and quickly sprouted and spread.

In a flash, the two survivors turned into stiff zombies and stood beside him.

Materials +2
"Hey, you acted really quickly. Isn't that a bit exaggerated?"

Xie Lan slowly stood up, put his hands in the pockets of his white coat, glanced at the miserable situation in the office, and sighed: "I was originally thinking of watching a fight between dragons and tigers..."

He asked curiously: "When did the people in the Security Bureau become so crazy?"

"It's not a good habit to casually speak ill of others behind their backs."

Behind him, Ji Jue, who was ‘late’, came slowly from the back of the corridor and reminded him: “Especially if you steal other people’s spoils, that’s even worse.”

"How did I steal?" Xie Lan's eyes widened in anger. "I did contribute a lot just now, you wouldn't give me nothing, right?"

"Okay, I'll give you the biological body and give me the spiritual essence." Ji Jue nodded readily, as if he had expected it.

Xie Lan immediately shook her head, "Why do I need so many zombies? A few test subjects are enough. You just took away all the most valuable things. Isn't that too stingy?!"

Ji Jue didn't care at all that the other party was asking for too much, and followed suit: "It's OK the other way around, I don't mind."

Since we can’t satisfy everyone, then no one will be satisfied.

Ji Jue could at least recycle and reuse these broken limbs, corpses and empty shells. At worst, he could use them to cultivate a batch of mutated poison to make bombs.

But what’s the use of Xie Lan having so much spiritual essence?
He didn't even have an ectoplasm cage.

"Tsk..."

Xie Lan couldn't help but shake his head. He estimated that there was not much time left, so he could only sigh: "Forget it, let's do as you say."

After the agreement was hastily reached, the two men stopped being on guard against each other, and a swarm of zombies swarmed over and began to race against time to clean up the scene.

After Xie Lan sent out a bloated zombie to open its mouth and swallow the last piece of limb, the spiritual essence cage on Ji Jue's waist was almost full, and the skeleton's eyes were bloodshot.

The matrix decomposed by the disintegration technique finally allowed the ex machina to have a full meal.

This skillful manipulation of spiritual essence and the plundering methods like plucking feathers from a passing goose really opened Xie Lan's eyes. If the two of them did not belong to two different factions and their resource needs did not overlap, he might have already started muttering in his heart, "This kid must not be kept."

The joyful search had just ended when the patients who had gathered in the corridor dispersed in fear, not daring to stay any longer. Then, footsteps came hurriedly like a rainstorm.

One after another, doctors with stiff expressions walked out from the shadows. The one walking in the front was Director Qian with a ferocious expression. His sutures broke, blood slowly flowed out, and his smile was gone.

"what happened?"

His dark eyes scanned all the people present and landed on the tragic situation in the office: "What happened? How could such a big accident happen again?!"

"do not know."

Ji Jue shook his head, thought carefully, and came to a conclusion: "Maybe it was the illegal use of electrical appliances? Maybe the microwave exploded?"

Director Qian suddenly came closer.

Without any warning, so close at hand.

A pair of hollow eyes stared at Ji Jue, holding up the half-broken skull in his hand: "Wasn't he still with you just now?"

"Yes."

Ji Jue nodded, "Everything was fine when I left, Director Qian, you have to testify for me.

As a result, I just came back from the room check and found that my precious personal belongings were missing from the office, so I rushed over to ask for clarification...

Alas, you can only know a person’s face but not his heart. Who could have thought that he was such a person? "

As he spoke, Ji Jue bent down, picked up a blessed creation in front of everyone, and put it in his pocket. Under the gaze of countless cold eyes, he sighed and looked regretful.

Then, Director Qian turned around and looked at Xie Lan:

"What about you?"

"I'm here to help."

Xie Lan smiled innocently, "We love each other and are a friendly family. The hospital is a big family. How can we stand idly by when something happens to our colleagues?

Unfortunately, everyone was too seriously injured and didn’t survive. It’s such a pity.”

"Is that so?" Director Qian asked.

"That's right."

They both nodded in unison without hesitation.

Immediately afterwards, there was a crisp chewing sound, and the broken bones and flesh on the ground disappeared as if they were swallowed by an invisible mouth.

Then, accompanied by the wailing of the remaining souls in the air, the originally damaged walls suddenly shrank and closed rapidly.

It was like an invisible behemoth was slowly healing.

"It's a good thing to love each other, so keep it up and don't forget your job."

Director Qian turned around and looked at the two of them. He suddenly grinned and said, "I'm afraid the hospital will be busy for a while. You have to work hard."

One after another, strange and stiff figures disappeared in the corridor.

Director Qian, who was walking at the end, stretched out his hand and patted Ji Jue on the shoulder.

It left behind a lingering chill.

From beginning to end, Ji Jue smiled and watched them go away.

"Don't worry, as long as you don't do it in front of them, they won't care."

Xie Lan said, "I'm afraid the reason for causing such a big scene this time is because the work area was damaged. Don't get caught, or you'll be punished and fired."

"I'll pay attention."

Ji Jue smiled and nodded: "Next time I have time, I will exchange experiences with Dr. Xie."

"Forget it, I'm just a researcher." Xie Lan shook his head and sighed in admiration: "It's scary that they can be so ruthless so quickly."

"Have it?"

Ji Jue looked over in confusion, "When dealing with bad guys, you should hit them hard, right? Are you a bad guy?"

"I'm not." Xie Lan shook his head decisively.

"What a coincidence, neither am I."

Ji Jue smiled and waved goodbye: "I am a messenger of justice passing by."

Just like that, he watched Ji Jue disappear into the darkness. The sneaky mouse finally came out from under Xie Lan's collar, and for some reason, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Damn, is the Security Bureau so wild in recruiting new members now?"

"It has nothing to do with the Security Bureau."

Xie Lan stared at the direction where he disappeared and shook his head slightly: "That guy would be an anomaly even in Yacheng. If it were you, would you dare to interfere in the election of the leader during the inspiration stage? The Lou family has suffered a lot because of him.

Do you believe that he is a peace-loving, gentle, and kind person?"

Having said that, he couldn't help but sneered, "Just wait and see, the Huaxie Cult has provoked such a person, which is really a disaster."

"I'm back from fooling around."

Ji Jue whistled and carried the ghost baby back to the office as if he was carrying a dog.

He casually patted the ghost baby's butt, and the ghost thing immediately opened its mouth and spit out a pile of various alchemical works piled up into a small mountain.

Most of them are shoddy goods and are not worth looking at at all. There are also a few blessed works, which is a pity. No one knows where the guys from the Huaxie Cult dug them out from. There are so many backdoors and traps.

Either he would lose more than half of his blood each time he used it, or he would be cursed if he used it too much. He had no choice but to destroy it all and feed it to the ex machina. This finally filled up the number [2] on the dial. With just one more thing left, Ji Jue, who already had the blessing in his hand, would be able to enter the last stage of the inspiration period.

It is better to find some time to expand the spiritual essence cage as soon as possible. Otherwise, with so much spiritual essence, the originally casually made container will probably burst completely in a short time.

Mechanical deification is an ability that consumes a considerable amount of spiritual essence. Even though Ji Jue has his own and his cousin's spiritual essence reserves, he still feels that it is insufficient.

The more reserves that can replace one's own spiritual essence to supply consumption elsewhere, the better.

Besides, with so much spiritual essence and materials...

Ji Jue pinched his chin and looked at the skull in front of him, thinking of the many applications of modern alchemy taught by Professor Ye...

At least we should be able to create another big explosion, right?
I haven't felt so wealthy for a long time, and the depressed mood since entering Shixu has become cheerful.

However, Tong Hua, who was organizing the records nearby, seemed to be distracted.

Always in a daze.

Distraught.

Ji Jue looked over in confusion, "What's wrong? Did you find anything else?"

"No, not yet. The archives are too complicated and it will take some time." Tong Hua rubbed her brows and hesitated for a long time before asking tentatively, "Are you... okay?"

"Huh? What's wrong with me?" Ji Jue was puzzled, and then became alert. Is it some kind of curse?
How come I didn't notice it from beginning to end?
"Uh, I mean..."

Tong Hua pondered, as if organizing her words, and cautiously poked her head in: "I feel that you have been...seemingly...maybe a little...extreme recently?"

"what?"

Ji Jue was stunned and bewildered. He watched Tong Hua pointing at the barrel of explosives and the pile of bloody surgical tools. Finally, he realized something and couldn't help but slap his head.

"Hmm? Indeed." He thought for a moment and nodded. "It's really not decent to be so brutal. Killing people is not right."

"Do not worry."

He waved his hand and promised, "Not again!"

After all, we are teammates, so we always have to take care of our mental health.

Miss Silly has never seen many B-level movies since she was a child, let alone the bloody scenes in real life... Can't I just do it secretly behind your back in the future!
His response was a helpless sigh.

"That's not what I'm talking about. It doesn't matter how the rubbish dies. Worshipping an evil creature and destroying the foundation of reality is a crime worthy of death. It doesn't matter what you do to it."

Tong Hua sighed and looked at him:
"I mean you."

Ji Jue was stunned, pointed at himself and tilted his head:?

"What I mean is... you don't need to push yourself too hard. Besides, I'm here for you!"

Tong Hua had only said half of her words when she felt that her example was not very reliable, so she quickly changed the topic: "Even if I'm unreliable, there are still Sister Wen, Lao Zhang and Xiao An, right?

Although Tong Shan always has a deadpan face, he will definitely be the first to rush to the front when encountering such a thing. The first unit also has a complete prevention process for Shixu disasters.

Besides, the Tong family and Yacheng have coexisted for such a long time, and they will definitely not stand aside and watch. "

She coughed twice, tried to look serious, and patted his shoulder: "There's no need to take on so many things.

You've done enough, there's no need to suffer like this. Yacheng is so big, it's impossible for it to be destroyed just because we two failed to defeat the evil cult, right?"

silence.

During the long silence, Ji Jue did not say anything, just stared at Tong Hua in a daze.

It was not until Tong Hua felt guilty that she lowered her head, sat back in her original seat, picked her feet awkwardly, and tried to find other topics to quickly erase this dark history.

Then, Ji Jue's voice was heard.

"I see..."

Ji Jue smiled suddenly. He had never smiled so sincerely since he entered Shixu. "Thank you, Tong Hua."

He had never expected to feel such sincere concern and comfort from Miss Hanhan.

Compared with difficulties and troubles, she still prioritizes her own situation and truly comforts herself as a vital friend.

Besides being moved, Ji Jue even lost the thought of secretly finding some dirt on her...for a short while.

But when Ji Jue's tone was no longer teasing, Tong Hua became even more embarrassed. She lowered her head and looked around and talked about other things.

"…Just know, thank you."

She glared at Ji Jue fiercely: "Don't tsk at me anymore in the future, understand!"

tsk...

"You tutted me again!"

Tong Hua stared, furious.

"Okay, okay, don't worry, I promise, okay!"

Ji Jue raised his hand sincerely, made a promise, and comforted Tong Hua, who was extremely shy, before finally correcting her: "However, there is one thing you may have misunderstood."

"Ah?" Tong Hua was puzzled.

“To be honest, I don’t have as strong a sense of mission as you think, nor do I have the same sense of responsibility as Sister Wen, and I originally had no interest in the Huaxie Cult.

Ji Jue thought for a moment, shrugged slightly, and laughed at himself: "The reason why I did this is purely out of personal grudges, that's all."

Tong Hua fell silent and said nothing more.

When Ji Jue smiled at this moment, there was no warmth in that smile anymore, only a bone-chilling chill.

Cliff City?

He might be worried about Yacheng, but only a little.

Even if the sky collapses and the earth breaks, Professor Ye's workshop will still be as stable as a mountain, without a single tile falling off.

Even if the old house of Ji Jue collapsed, it wouldn't cost much to rebuild it.

But, what else?
Besides yourself?
Feng's company has started work and has made good progress. It has become a good partner of various breeding bases. Every day after installing the cameras, they will bring home various cauliflowers, tomatoes and bean sticks. Although they always curse at this kind of debt-ridden behavior when they come back, they will do the same the next day.

Xiaoling is doing very well in college. Her teachers and classmates like her very much. It is said that she even won a gold medal in the school sports meet.

Mother Lu has been smiling a lot more recently and uses a lot more meat when cooking.

The third child is a crybaby and is not good at studying, but he smiles sweetly when he hugs his legs. The youngest child likes to watch other people's actions, and his clumsy appearance when he is being smart is also very cute.

They are all very good people, the best people in the world.

Such people deserve to enjoy a peaceful, tranquil and happy life.

But what?
There is always shit, garbage, bastards, vermin... They can't stand seeing a little light in other people's lives. Like a clown, they revel in the cesspool, praise the stench, worship the evil and stupidity, and think they are great and lofty.

If the Time Ruins really exploded in Yacheng, how many tiny and fragile glimmers of light would be destroyed under the pollution that would be even worse than a dirty bomb or a disaster, and how many more pitiful creatures like Ji Jue would be created?

There are already too many disasters in this world.

It is enough.

Ji Jue woke up in the middle of the night countless times and often felt that perhaps he had died in the fire ten years ago, and everything now was just an illusion before his death.

The crying and wailing in the nightmare continued in his ears for more than ten years, until now.

until now.

Now, someone wants to push himself and everything he values ​​into hell.

The Security Bureau may strike hard, the Tong family may also take ruthless actions, or there may be more righteous people who stand up to fight against evil.

But this has nothing to do with Ji Jue.

In the broken mirror, that smiling face was burning, countless hatreds and rages rose from the flames in the eyes, roaring and snarling silently.

before this--

——I will tear all of you into pieces!
