HCB Chapter 398 Qi Yu
Chapter 398 Qi Yu
As Cheng Feng and the others approached, the young man jumped to the ground and was about to run into the depths of the passage.
But before he could even display his nimble skills, a large number of blue light spots flew out from the cracks in the rocks all around.
They surrounded him tightly.
The young man did not sit idly by and wait to die. He picked up a stone from the ground and threw it at the Dapu Ghost Worm in front of him with amazing accuracy.
But it was all in vain; although some unlucky Dap Ghost Worms were hit by rocks,
But compared to the massive swarm of insects, this loss was nothing, and there was simply not enough room for him to escape.
Although the young man had never seen this insect in person, he could tell from the sparks that flew when the stone collided with it.
If I were to run headfirst into it, I would be committing suicide.
Therefore, the young man gave up struggling, but his eyes were full of ferocity, showing that he was not desperate and was ready to attack or escape at any time.
After a while, Cheng Feng led everyone closer.
At this moment, Wu Sansheng and other ordinary people who had not undergone the enhancement of Lei Cheng were able to truly see what this person looked like.
However, they also looked puzzled, as they were completely unfamiliar with this person.
Through the Dap Ghost Insect, the young man glared fiercely at the crowd that was only four or five meters away from him.
"Who are you, and what is your relationship with that monster?"
At Wu Sansheng's behest, Pan Zi stepped forward and sternly questioned the young man.
The young man remained silent, but gripped the stone tightly in his hand, seemingly looking for an opportunity to deliver a severe blow to the people outside.
"I clearly saw something join him just now, where did it go in such a short time?"
Zhang Haixing frowned, her pretty face full of doubt after the human skin mask was removed.
Zhang Qiling stared at the young man's abdomen. The young man's heart was in the wrong place; a person's heart is not located in the lower abdomen.
Pan Zi then asked him a few more questions, but the young man refused to speak.
Finally, Pan Zi, feeling helpless, looked at Cheng Feng and said:
"Why don't you move these bugs aside, Boss Cheng? I have plenty of ways to get him to talk."
As he spoke, Pan Zi gave the young man surrounded by Dapu ghost insects a cold look.
The art of extracting confessions through torture has been practiced in China for thousands of years, and in modern times it has reached its peak.
Even though many intangible cultural heritages have been lost or are on the verge of being lost, this craft has been preserved intact.
“If he were a real person, I believe you could make him speak. Unfortunately, even if he wanted to, he wouldn’t have that ability.”
Cheng Feng did not let the swarm of insects leave. After all, he was not a real cat and did not have the leisure to toy with his prey like an old cat.
If he doesn't make a move, even if Zhang Qiling and Hei Xiazi team up, they probably wouldn't be able to catch that thing in this terrain.
"Well... what do you suggest we do, Boss Cheng?"
Pan Zi was also a bit at a loss. He had no problem interrogating a person, but he couldn't do anything when the other party wasn't human.
"What else can we do but carry out humane euthanasia?"
As he spoke, Cheng Feng had a thought, and a large number of Dapu Ghost Insects rushed straight towards the young man in the center.
In a life-or-death situation, what was hidden within the young man could no longer be contained.
The youth's lively expression instantly lost its color, and then his clothes at the chest were torn into strips by a pair of small hands.
In a moment, a strangely shaped, terrifying doll escaped from the young man's chest and abdomen.
With a simple kick, the youth was sent flying backwards towards the oncoming Dapu Ghost Insect.
After touching the Dap Ghost Worm, the youth was enveloped in blue flames and was quickly burned beyond recognition.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the little monster rushed toward the opening created by the young man's body.
Just when it was on the verge of victory and about to escape the swarm of insects, another swarm of insects blocked its way.
The swarm of insects shimmered with a silvery-white light, but it posed no less of a threat to the little monster than the swarm of insects with blue lights.
"What is this thing? Has this rag doll come to life?"
Huo Ling looked in surprise at the little monster whose path was blocked by Naiqiong Shenbing.
"It's somewhat like the witchcraft dolls from the Miao region, but those are inanimate objects made from human skin and poisonous insects."
And this monster was clearly still alive.
Chen Wenjin looked him up and down, and then spoke thoughtfully.
Cheng Feng looked at the two women with amusement. They didn't recognize him at all, even though they were familiar with him.
But it's no wonder, no one would have thought that Qi Yu, who went down to the underwater tomb in the Xisha Islands with me in 1985, would end up like this.
"It's him! What's he doing here!"
Xie Lianhuan's eyes were full of confusion. He and Wu Sansheng were not nearly as surprised as the others when they saw the little monster in front of them.
It's obvious that they've seen this thing before.
Wu Xie's eyes widened as those forgotten memories resurfaced in his mind.
"Third Uncle, isn't this the strange doll I encountered in the study back then?"
As soon as Wu Xie said this, everyone looked at Wu Sansheng.
Wu Sansheng chuckled and said:
"You little rascal, you have a good memory. You still remember this after all these years!"
Everyone rolled their eyes at Wu Sansheng speechlessly; at a time like this, he was still spouting so much useless nonsense.
Seeing the unfriendly looks from the crowd, Wu Sansheng quickly coughed and said:
"I know everyone is in a hurry, but please don't rush. This matter is very complicated. Let me sort it out and see where to start."
Cheng Feng looked at Wu Sansheng speechlessly. This bastard always loved to do things like keeping people in suspense.
There has never been a time when things were explained clearly and straightforwardly.
"Let me explain. This little monster is actually Qi Yu, a descendant of Qi Tiezui from the Nine Gates."
The news that Cheng Feng revealed shocked everyone.
Especially Chen Wenjin and Huo Ling, others may have only heard of them.
But they had been in the same archaeological team as Qi Yu for a long time, so it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they were old acquaintances.
"How is that possible? If it really is Qi Yu, how did it end up in this terrible state?"
Huo Ling stared intently at the little monster's ugly face, trying to find a familiar shadow in it.
But she quickly gave up; the thing's appearance was now just an abstraction, with nothing that resembled Qi Yu.
"It's all because of Wu Sansheng and Xie Lianhuan that it's become like this."
I think it followed us to the Second Mausoleum of the World this time, probably to seek revenge on those two.
As Cheng Feng spoke, he pointed to Qi Yu in the swarm of insects.
Sure enough, everyone could see that the little monster's sinister and violent gaze was fixed on Wu Sansheng.
"Third Uncle?"
Faced with the questioning gaze of his own nephew, Wu Sansheng glanced at Chen Wenjin with a complicated expression.
"Now that things have come to this, it's time to lay some things out on the table."
Everyone waited for Wu Sansheng to continue, even the little monster's previously tense muscles relaxed a bit.
It seems they are waiting for the culprit to reveal his crimes.
"There was once a force that acted like a pair of giant hands, secretly manipulating the fate of the Nine Gates."
After the incident in Banna, Guangxi, Lao Jie and I discovered that the entire archaeological team had been replaced by people from this organization.
Therefore, during our trip to the Xisha Islands, we devised a plan to mislead this organization and thus weaken its influence over the Nine Gates.
Wu Sansheng then faked Xie Lianhuan's death, and Xie Lianhuan, who was hiding in the shadows, drugged the entire archaeological team.
While they were unconscious, Wu Sansheng fed them corpse-eating pills and personally handed the pills and the people over to the mysterious force.
