Chapter 81 A Game of Life and Death
Wang Ergou spent months in a darkened cell.
He can’t tell the difference between day and night, except sleep is sleep, even if he can fill his stomach, it’s only a bit of rotten rice, and he can’t even see the slightest hope.
Wang Ergou knew that he was going to die.
If it is petty theft, he will be imprisoned for ten days and a half months at most, and the serious ones will be sent to serve in iron mines outside the city.
Like Wang Ergou, there is no time limit, usually there is only one end, and there is a pull to the street to ask for execution.
So he had already given up and was waiting for the guillotine to come.
But on this day, the sound of sticks hitting the railing sounded, and a jailer shouted: “Wang Ergou, don’t sleep, Master Li is here to see you.”
Wang Ergou opened his eyes in a daze, and could not help but mutter a few words.
“I don’t know how many fat sheep I slaughtered, my lord? Damn Master Li, I’m afraid I’m going to take me to Caishikou.”
Bah! !
The sound of footsteps gradually approached, and there was a little more light in the dark aisle of the cell.
Wang Ergou subconsciously looked at it, the tall figure came slowly, with a terrifying pressure invisibly.
The figure stopped at the corner about to reach the cell.
“Wang Ergou, right?”
Wang Ergou didn’t speak, he was really frightened, because the shadow on the ground was too terrifying.
The neck of Mr. Li was several times thicker than usual, and his head hung like a lantern on it, like a rumored evil spirit who escaped from the underworld.
Mr. Li continued to speak: “I will ask you, do you want to live or die?”
Wang Ergou was slightly stunned, the figure asked again, and his heart was itchy, so he answered.
“Sir… Of course I want to live, no one wants to die.”
Mr. Li laughed a few times, and then continued towards the cell.
Wang Ergou saw that the other party was getting closer, he couldn’t help swallowing, and stared at the strange shadow in horror.
Mr. Li came to the door of the cell, which made Wang Ergou see it clearly.
The tall body bears a head that is far beyond ordinary people, and the forehead is covered with blue veins, which makes the facial features unusually unnatural.
“Uh, save…”
Wang Ergou just wanted to say something, but heard Master Li indifferently say: “Go to sleep.”
boom.
He fell to the ground neatly, and soon he heard a thick snoring sound, his chest heaving regularly.
The cell door was opened, and Master Li walked in and crouched down beside Wang Ergou.
He stretched out his palm and placed it on Wang Ergou’s face, causing the latter’s skin to gradually change, the wrinkles were erased, and the texture was like old yellowed paper.
Mr. Li opened the book that Wang Ergou’s head had turned into, and saw that the pages were filled with words, representing his memory.
He flipped it around and made changes with a brush.
The text has been added and subtracted, and the body of Wang Ergou has also changed accordingly.
The height is slightly shortened, and the original rough appearance has become delicate.
Just now, he was just a strong man, but he turned into a woman in the blink of an eye.
Although the original appearance can still be seen from the face, the gender transformation makes it impossible to be recognized by acquaintances.
After a while, Wang Ergou’s head returned to normal.
Mr. Li took out the glass bottle from his arms, which contained a mass of dark-gray substance, which was constantly twisting and wriggling.
If you examine it carefully, you can find that the substance is composed of fine worms, and its core is a piece of purple-red flesh the size of a fingernail.
Mr. Li stared at the glass bottle for a long time, then poured it into the man’s mouth, and the gray-black substance melted into his flesh and blood.
“Should be enough.”
He nodded slightly, and then left the prison.
When Wang Ergou woke up, he only felt a splitting headache, his expression became extremely dazed, and he didn’t even know why he was here.
At this moment, the two prison guards opened the door of the cell, and without saying anything, they directly carried him to the outside world.
Wang Ergou came back to his senses, he had put on an ordinary cotton and linen clothes, and was standing on the crowded street.
He was like a corpse, and there seemed to be a voice in his head guiding him.
I don’t know why, but Wang Ergou was walking in the direction of the temple fair, but he was walking very slowly, staggering with every step.
If you look closely, you can also find that the catcher is protecting him in the dark.
…………
Inside the Fireworks Hall inside the Yamen.
Ren Qing crossed his legs and swallowed a stone eye, the warmth of his stomach spread throughout his body.
He used the effect of the stone eye to restore his stamina, summoned the dragon and snake ridge in the wing, and controlled tossing and turning with his mind.
The dragon snake ridge occasionally touches the furniture, and the sharp bone blade can be easily cut, but there is no place to practice the rest.
You can be unscrupulous unless it is night.
After a few days of gestation, he found that the dragon and snake ridges were transforming all the time, nourishing the bones of the whole body.
Ren Qing also figured out a new way to use the dragon and snake ridge.
His thoughts moved, and the whole spine made the sound of bones colliding.
The gaps between the joints close together, forming a hideous bone knife.
The most important thing is that this bone knife can be extended and turned into a chain at any time, greatly increasing the flexibility.
Even though the dragon and snake ridges are still more physical at present, Ren Qing is still confident that as long as he experiences three strange changes, the world can be turned upside down.
Ren Qing retracted the Dragon and Snake Back to his spine, and then prepared to visualize the blindness method.
Maybe because the gluttonous method has been promoted to the ghost realm, the progress of the blind method is gratifying.
Even if you don’t use the information flow to consume Shouyuan, it should not be difficult to break through within two or three months.
However, the rest of Ren Qing’s techniques have not improved significantly.
The nerve foot nerve is better, mainly because the support is stagnant without the wolf blood. The next time you go to the ghost market, you can fill up the resources.
The masochistic technique of Human Books, unless you use the shock force in the cave, there is nothing you can do.
After Ren Qing practiced until the night, he was ready to eat something to rest for a while.
At this moment, the crow chirped.
The paper window was broken, and the crow flew in from the outside and spit out a note.
boom! !
Mingya’s self-destruction was even more unprepared than before, but fortunately Ren Qing was prepared.
The strange mouth in the palm of the hand opened in advance, the repulsive force enveloped the room of the wing, and the flesh and blood were absorbed by the prison in the belly.
Ren Qing opened the paper and looked at it.
The location of the task is in the Temple of Sending Zi Niangniang, and the next day is the last day of the temple fair, which involves rituals.
The festival is mainly a parade at the opening of the altar, and the statues are invited from the Temple of Sending Sons to the south of the city. Only in this way can it be considered a smooth end.
The Jailer’s Hall asked to stay around the temple fair, and the content on the paper didn’t reveal much.
Ren Qing guessed that the Jailer’s Hall was about to close the net, so he should be sure to not let the land become a restricted area after death.
He naturally couldn’t pass up the opportunity to earn blood crystals.
Ren Qing heard from Bo Feng that the annual celebration of the Goddess’s Temple is a big day, and it is almost even more lively than the New Year’s Day.
However, he did not rush to step on the spot, but first warned Xiao Wu and others, so as not to accidentally get involved in the mission of the jailer’s hall.
