Soul echo

Chapter 677 Plague Lord ([-])

Hearing Wu Zuo's words, Lilian suddenly became nervous.

"It doesn't feel right?"

She would rather her guess was wrong, because if she really guessed right, then they would be in big trouble.

Holding the knife, Zuo nodded, "They have been dead for two days. Usually, at this time, both the muscles and internal organs will become soft and sticky."

As he said that, he also patted the ripped chest of the corpse with a knife, where there were muscles.

Seeing the muscles trembling and bouncing under the slap of the knife, Lilian and the others felt sick and their mouths were sour.

"And this." Wu Zuo stabbed the corpse's lungs with the handle of the knife again, "There is still some resilience, which is not in line with common sense."

A gloomy look appeared on Si Kou Hong's face, and he said in a deep voice, "Cut it off."

Wu Zuo was silent for a while, just as he was about to use the knife, Lilian suddenly called out: "Wait!"

Si Kou Hong turned his head in doubt, not understanding why she called to stop.

"I'll do it!" Lilian stepped forward with a serious face.

She has seen how weird the things parasitic in the prefect and the others are. The two assistants have not understood what happened until now, and they have no guard against it.

They would be the first to bear the brunt of the 'something' in this corpse.

That being the case, she should be allowed to do it!

She is an extraordinary person who breaks through the extraordinary barrier with the agility attribute. In terms of mastery of power, no one present should be able to match her.

Letting her operate can avoid possible casualties.

Si Kouhong did not object verbally, but just looked at Lilian silently, and Lilian did not flinch, and looked up at him.

After a while, Si Kou Hong exhaled foul breath, turned his head back, "Do as you like..."

The corner of Lilian's mouth twitched, and then she became serious. She took out the gas mask and apron from her bracelet, and made sure that nothing happened. She then drew out her light sword and pointed at the lungs of the corpse on the ground.

She told everyone to back away, then flicked her wrist and cut open the left lung of the corpse.

As the left lung was cut open, the corpse suddenly trembled, startling both the player and the operator, only Si Kou Hong frowned deeply.

Lilian's body was also a little stiff, she swallowed, and used the tip of her sword to open the incision in the corpse's left lung.

Light gradually poured into the incision, presenting densely packed alveoli and bronchioles in front of Lilian and the others.

Lilian squeezed the light sword tightly and held her breath.

"What is this?" Wuzuo exclaimed.

Countless hair-thin tentacles fit tightly into the densely packed alveoli, interweaving with the bronchioles, forming a criss-cross network.

Just looking at it can make Lilian's scalp tingle.

She's not trypophobic, so she just felt goosebumps all over her body.

The tentacles appear to be 'alive' as they are not withered, just not moving.

Si Kou Hong exhaled heavily, "Continue!"

The two assistants looked at him in surprise, and after receiving the signal from his eyes, they looked at each other, reluctantly walked to the other corpse, and disemboweled that corpse.

The tentacles just look scary, but in fact, there is no danger.

Maybe they haven't grown to that point yet, so that they don't have the ability to move independently.

The lungs of this corpse also had similar roots, and the condition was worse than that of the previous one, densely overlapping, almost filling the entire lungs of the corpse.

The two gangsters moved cautiously, only cutting open the outer wall of the lungs, without touching those tentacles, and the tentacles shook slightly, as if aware of it.

"continue!"

Si Kou Hong gave an order, and the two assistants continued to dissect the third corpse.

Similar tentacles were present in the lungs of the third corpse, but not as badly as the second.

In order to rob the prison, those thieves left three corpses, and what is lying here now is all of them.

The presence of similar tentacles in all three corpses is obviously not a coincidence.

"Where's another corpse?" A player pointed to the fourth corpse in Yizhuang.

In Yizhuang, in addition to the dissected corpses of the three thieves, there is also a corpse wrapped in a straw mat. Many flies are flying around the straw mat, ups and downs, which is shocking.

A beggar looked up and said, "That was found last night, the body of a beggar—wasn't there a good man who gave out porridge and steamed buns yesterday? The beggar probably didn't eat the steamed buns and was robbed by other beggars when he brought them back. Then he was beaten to death."

The players' eyes widened in disbelief, and some of them couldn't help gnashing their teeth.

Because they were the ones who served porridge and steamed buns in the city yesterday!
They also never imagined that because of their momentary kindness, a person was killed. What made them even more absurd was that the cause was just a 'steamed bun'.

Si Kou Hong stood beside him thinking for a moment, then suddenly said: "I've done the autopsy too, this time I'll do it."

Hearing this, the others looked at him in surprise.

Lilian was stunned for a moment, and then reacted immediately.

It is impossible for these thieves to stay in the city all the time. After all, they are still wanted, and it is considered long to sneak into the city for a few days.

If they colluded with the officials in the city, then they don't need to rob the prison, so it can be known that these bandits may not have stayed in the city for a long time, and the growth of the tentacles in their bodies does not mean anything. Maybe they are in the city. Infected outside the city.

But if it was the corpse of a beggar, and there were similar things in his body, then it was basically certain that many people in Jianning were indeed infected.

Generally speaking, it is impossible for beggars to leave the city. If they want to survive, they basically rely on begging. There are many residents in the city, and the probability of success in begging is also high.

Si Kou Hong pulled out his waist knife and cut open the straw mat, revealing a miserable corpse of a beggar.

He stared angrily, his mouth was pulled open, there was not even a piece of cloth on his body, and there were many traces of beatings, which is why Wu Zuo judged that the beggar might have been beaten to death.

Some players couldn't bear to look directly at them. Although they could kill the enemy cleanly, they couldn't accept this kind of thing.

Frowning slightly, Si Kou Hong cut open the beggar's muddy chest with a waist knife, cut off his ribs, and opened a 'window'.

Only then did the knife cut open the beggar's lungs.

When he opened the incision, his eyebrows couldn't help but twitch.

The other structures of the lungs could no longer be seen. After cutting the beggar’s lungs, Si Kou Hong could only see those tentacles that were entangled together and formed into a ball. ventilation.

When the lungs were opened, those tentacles stretched out along the incision. If Si Kou Hong hadn't pulled back the waist knife in time, he might have been entangled by these tentacles.

"This this……"

The two assistants watched in shock, they could never have imagined that there would be such a monster inside the beggar's corpse.

There are such monsters in the thieves' bodies, they think that those wicked people are infected outside the city, but even the beggars have this kind of thing in their bodies, and the situation is more serious than those in the thieves' bodies, does it mean that , is there a similar situation for other people in the city?

Does it mean...they are the same?
Thinking of this, the two assistants raised their hands to touch their chests in panic.

"Don't worry." Si Kou Hong said in a timely manner, "We will solve this problem, as long as we know what the problem is, then it will be easy to solve."

"Yes, is that so?" The two assistants forced a smile on their faces, and they didn't quite believe Si Kou Hong's words.

But now they had no other choice but to believe his words.

After Si Kou Hong led the players away from Yi Zhuang, the two of them looked at each other, smiled wryly and sat down on the ground, looking at the corpses with confusion.

"Before coming to Jianning this time, His Majesty gave me a magic weapon so that I could contact His Majesty in time."

After walking out of Yizhuang, Si Kou Hong said seriously to the players: "Your Majesty may use the 'Ji Shi Pot' next, which will cause a lot of commotion, so I need your helpers to stabilize the people of Jianning, so that they don't panic."

"It's my duty!" Lilian said sternly.

Other players also saw the task information displayed in front of them, and responded with clasped fists.

Si Kou Hong nodded slightly, "Let's make preparations, I will report this matter to His Majesty now."
