Doomsday Wonderland - Vol 9 Chapter 2337
…A half-personality, to be precise.
Standing under the low night sky, Lin Sanjiu saw an open and undulating open space in front of him, as continuous and gentle as scattered lake waves. The farmhouses that have been abandoned for many years are scattered among the occasional shrubs and bushes, becoming a part of the land.
“What is that?” Qing Jiuliu said in a low voice.
From the small road between several farmhouses, in the shadow cast by the high farm barn, there is a shadow of something, like a bug, is crawling out little by little; that thing is twice as big as a person, it is hard to describe Its shape—a bit like a giant silkworm chrysalis, a bit like a split spindle.
“I cast [Consciousness Scanning] over there to have a look,” Lin Sanjiu said. The distance between the two of them and the black shadow was tens of meters. When the situation was unclear, it was already inappropriate to continue to approach.
Just when [Consciousness Scanning] just swept over, the huge black shadow suddenly stopped moving, as if it felt something, and then began to tremble slightly; Lin Sanjiu held it back Qing Jiuliu’s wrist, just about to pull him back together, but suddenly a trembling voice came from one end of the black shadow: “Who? Who is outside?”
Lin Sanjiu was taken aback for a moment, and soon remembered why this voice sounded familiar to her.
“You’re… you’re the one in the garden,” she said quickly, “you’re one of Luzer’s personalities, aren’t you?”
The giant silkworm chrysalis-like thing dragged itself hard and rolled towards them, and finally seemed to be unable to continue, and suddenly fell to the ground in its entirety; looking at the end that seemed to be cracked, it suddenly tore open and widened. , raised his head in the air—in the dim night, Lin Sanjiu realized that the black shadow had opened up to form a huge morning glory.
“yes…”
From the petals of the morning glory, a human head protruded. Although his face was pale, it was the man who had planned to degrade her in his flower garden. His eyes looked as if they were ground out of wood, and painted with dead fish white; when he looked at Lin Sanjiu, he couldn’t even express the slightest emotional ups and downs, so he could only say weakly: “Save me!” …help me, please.”
Lin Sanjiu narrowed his eyes, carefully walked two steps forward, and finally saw clearly.
Only half of the human body is contained in the morning glory.
The part of the man from the hip bone down disappeared in one stroke; the reason why he hasn’t died from blood loss or other reasons is probably because he gave himself first aid in time—the four limbs protruding from the depths of the morning glory The five flower cores, like some kind of life-sustaining pipes, penetrated deeply into the fracture of his lower body, connecting with his flesh and blood.
Without his legs, and being completely covered by morning glory, no wonder he can only crawl forward in a squirming way.
“I’m Martha’s friend.” The man seemed to recognize Lin Sanjiu, but he didn’t have the energy to worry about whether she would take the opportunity to take revenge. All his energy was put on talking and pleading: “I… my name is Mochi. I don’t want to die, please help me…”
“How did you do this?” Lin Sanjiu reminded himself when he said this, [Consciousness Scanning] immediately spread out in all directions, not daring to let go of any movement under the night. “Who hurt you? Is the person who hurt you here?”
Qing Jiuliu walked up, looked at the half man in the morning glory, and thought about it. “What’s that word… oh, are you perfect?”
Mo Qi reluctantly shook his head.
“Wait a minute,” Lin Sanjiu also came to his senses, and quickly looked around. “That means—”
The personality produced by Lu Ze can only move within a certain range before it becomes the final perfect body; once it is too far away from Lu Ze himself, it will be taken back into his body. This man named Moqi is still outside, doesn’t it mean that Orcius is also nearby?
“I, I’m still within the allowable range of ‘Lu Ze”s ability,” Mo Qi seemed to realize what she was going to say, and the bitterness in his voice could almost drip. He said with difficulty: “But since… I don’t know what happened… In short, since Lu Ze’s body was taken away by that person, the allowed range has suddenly become much wider. We dare not go back to Lu Ze’s body Go, I don’t know what to do, so I can only hide on the edge of this range…”
“When we first entered Luoshicheng, we met a personality named Feng Siti, and he said the same thing,” Qing Jiuliu said to Lin Sanjiu.
“… Feng Siti?” Mo Qi blinked, and his face was slightly distorted for a moment. “He, he is already a part of that person… The first personality to be reduced is him…”
“No wonder we followed the path he pointed and fell into the trap of another personality of Occidental.” Qing Jiuliu’s expression remained unchanged, as if he was not surprised. “The edge he said seems to be a lie.”
“Orcius, is that so?” Mochi gave a hoarse and wry smile. “Once it is incorporated by him, even my own will is gone… I don’t have any independent will, so what is it called a ‘personality’? I beg you, please help me… If you save my life, I will be very useful— ”
Before he finished speaking, Qing Jiuliu nodded. “Indeed, he is equivalent to a locator for Orcius. He knows the distance between Orcius and him.”
Mo Qi’s face just lit up, but Qing Jiuliu asked again: “Who hurt you? Why did you hurt you?”
“I don’t know that personality.” Mo Qi’s head was hanging limply on the petals, his face was half turned, and it was raised in the night. “But I know what he’s going to do…he’s going to kill us. To that Orcius, personality is just a disposable tool…how do I know?”
There was an almost mocking smile on his face. “Because Feng Si finished the last function and died…he no longer exists. I escaped…but only half of me escaped.”
Lin Sanjiu sniffed the breath in the night wind.
She could smell the blood and stench bursting out from the depths of the morning glory without getting close. If she looked carefully, she could realize that the deep red at the bottom of the morning glory was not actually the color of the petals themselves.
In other words, the personality who cut off Mo Qi’s legs is not the same personality as the one who cut off a third of himself, and the methods are different. It is very likely that they split up to destroy their own group of people and send personality to hunt down personality at the same time…
How many personalities did Orcius split? If this continues, does his ability still have a limit?
Now it seems that he is consciously killing Lu Ze’s personality, constantly stimulating himself to generate new personalities; although Lu Ze’s personality abilities have their own strengths, they are still within the scope of normal evolution. What happens is different.
Anxiety has been pressing heavily on Lin Sanjiu’s mind, and every minute that passes, it seems to be darker and suffocating; but right now, there is another problem that she has to pay attention to.
“You are also Lu Ze’s personality, so do you know Bliss?” Lin Sanjiu asked in a low voice, “It’s been so many years…she must have finally become a full body, right?”
Just when she was expecting Mo Qi to answer “yes”, Mo Qi opened his dry mouth and said, “No…she didn’t.”
“No? Then the person who hurt you is also chasing and killing her?” Lin Sanjiu was taken aback, and his nerves tensed immediately; beside him, Qing Jiuliu turned his head and glanced at her.
Mochi was clearly not interested in Bliss’ whereabouts or safety. He let out a “huh” through his nose as if coping, and said eagerly: “Please… take me back to the flower garden, my flower garden is still there… as long as you take me back and bury the bottom of this morning glory in the ground Here, I can recover…”
Lin Sanjiu and Qing Jiuliu looked at each other.
They didn’t say it, and they didn’t need to—everyone knew it was impossible.
It wasn’t that they were indifferent; at this moment, Mo Qi didn’t know that all the prerequisites for his rescue did not exist. He can only continue to linger on like this, waiting for the result of fate to decide for him.
“What does that personality look like?” Lin Sanjiu asked. She didn’t want to let Mo Qi give birth to hope, and then hope failed, so she shouldn’t take him back.
Mo Qi paused, and seemed to suppress the urge to cry out for a while; he dared not answer Lin Sanjiu’s question, and opened his mouth—at this moment, his eyeballs suddenly rolled down Turned, turned down from Lin Sanjiu, and landed on the ground.
At that moment, a strong sense of crisis hit her mind like electricity; she didn’t even have the space to shout “beware”, and the [protective force field] brightened up along with the sudden intensified heartbeat. , rapidly expanding, enveloping herself and Qing Jiuliu beside her—at the same time when the light lit up, Lin Sanjiu had already turned around and rushed towards Qing Jiuliu, kicked off her feet, and brought him down a few meters away. on the ground.
“What’s the matter?” Under her, Qing Jiuliu asked in a bit of embarrassment.
Lin Sanjiu didn’t know either—what happened to the ground just now? What’s under her feet?
After all, Mo Qi still failed to answer her question. Just when Lin Sanjiu turned her head hastily, as if the turning of her neck had also affected Mo Qi’s head, his head, which was hanging softly on the morning glory, suddenly moved, as if someone had pushed it slightly , Gululu rolled down from the morning glory.
When his head fell to the ground, the rapidly shrinking and collapsing morning glory also hit the ground together; petals, dust and grass blades buried that personality silently.
Where Lin Sanjiu and Lin Sanjiu were originally standing, there were two other figures at this moment.
At first glance, she almost thought the two were twins; it was only on second glance that she realized that they were different in appearance, size, and hair color—they were wearing the same robes, in one wide and one narrow They all wore the same empty and indifferent look on their faces.
It was as if they were all empty inside, and when the wind blew by, they aroused exactly the same echo, so that the difference in appearance was as unimportant as the sand blown away by the wind.
This was the first time Lin Sanjiu saw the personalities produced by Occidentals, if they could also be called “personalities”.
“Hello!”
Qing Jiuliu suddenly called out from beside him, startling Lin Sanjiu. “I haven’t seen it before, why, have you just arrived?”
The two personalities looked at each other, seemingly not expecting this problem.
“Just look at it, otherwise we wouldn’t have had the chance to talk just now.” Qing Jiuliu was still sitting on the ground, but Lin Sanjiu could feel that every muscle in his body was tense. “This means… Occidentus left here in a hurry not long ago, but he didn’t want to let us go, so he sent you here?”
The taller personality on the left slowly opens his mouth and smiles.
“You guys…you can die together.” He said dryly.
several?
Isn’t it just her and Qing Jiuliu, and he includes the dead Mo Qi?
Just as Lin Sanjiu had doubts in his heart, he saw the tall man on the left raise his hand, as if grabbing something invisible, and threw it down heavily—accompanied by a muffled groan of pain. On the roof of the farm barn, a red cloud fell down.
