The strange story of Huai'an Inn

Zhu Helan thought that in his long life, he had seen all the most beautiful and ugliest things in the world.But at this moment, when he looked up at Chong Liu, which was filled with a strong and foul smell in mid-air, he felt thrilling.

That is the beauty that ordinary people can't understand or even find ugly and terrifying, the charming green lotus blooming in deformity, reckless and arrogant, terrifying and powerful.The darkness seemed to turn into a boundless sea, and Liu'er was the god in the sea.

He wanted to call out Liu'er's name, but he realized that his throat was completely swollen.He couldn't speak, or even breathe.He opened his mouth, but only an unpleasant and sharp choking sound came out.

Zhu Helan's robe had been burnt to pieces by the venom, hanging on his shoulders and arms like a few strands of rags. The originally white and flawless skin was covered with dense blisters, and the pale yellow mucus that festered and flowed out was blackened and purple. on the bloody wound.

The pain seems to be delayed by the numb brain, and now it is like a dead body that has been frozen for a cold winter and thawed out, accompanied by severe itching that spreads to the endings of every nerve.As soon as his legs softened, he knelt down like this, holding his hands on the ground so as not to fall down.

But the right hand that had already turned black felt a sharp pain.

The last time he was in such a mess was when he passed the trial and became the priest of the Mother Goddess when he was young.

"Master!"

A few tentacles quickly encircled his body, and Liu'er's breath suddenly surrounded him. Those nimble eyes were filled with distressed tears at this moment, looking helplessly at every festering mark on his body.The tentacles quickly closed and fused, and the drenched blue bast quickly faded into human skin.

The chest hurt like gunpowder was filled and ignited in the small windowless steel room, and the ribs seemed to be shattered.Guan Chongliu couldn't see the shopkeeper suffering, but now the shopkeeper was covered in bruises.

He wanted to hug Zhu Helan, but now no matter where he touched, it would intensify the pain.

"Liu'er...is still alive...that's great..." Zhu Helan spat out these words intermittently from his swollen throat.

"Boss, don't talk, I'll clean up the poison for you..."

"No need... the toxicity is very strong... it has... spread, it's too late..." Zhu Helan said with difficulty, staring at Guan Chongliu's eyes so intently, and raised his uncorrupted left hand with great care. Touching Chongliu's cheek that was still covered with fish scales, "Xiaohuai..."

Chong Liu suddenly raised his hand and gently held the shopkeeper's cheeks that were turning black and purple, "Trust me, I can save you."

After finishing speaking, Chong Liu's face suddenly enlarged in his field of vision.

He kissed Zhu Helan's lips that had begun to ooze black blood.

Zhu Helan's breathing stopped, and her heartbeat also stopped.

Chong Liu closed his eyes and kissed him intently, moving forward indomitably.

Chong Liu's kiss also had the smell of seaweed, like falling into an ancient and rich deep sea, making people want to jump into it, sinking, sinking, even if it sinks forever at the bottom of the sea, it doesn't matter.

The moment his lips and teeth opened unconsciously, Zhu Helan felt something sticky, bitter and foul-smelling began to rise from his throat. He tried to push Chong Liu away, but Liu'er hugged him even tighter.

He realized it wasn't just a kiss.Chong Liu was sucking the poison that had been injected into his body.

At the same time, Chong Liu's ten fingers turned into ten fine, translucent tubes, softly and gently wrapping around Zhu Helan's rapidly collapsing body.They secreted a transparent liquid, the moment it entered the wound, a cooling sensation quickly spread under the skin, smoothing away the pain of being corroded and burned.

The mucus seemed to be alive, quickly swimming from the wound into the blood vessels to repair and rebuild the decayed tissues.Those hideous wounds and raised blisters disappeared and healed at a miraculous speed visible to the naked eye, and returned to the original smooth and perfect texture.

The acidic venom gushed out of his throat and entered Chong Liu's mouth.Zhu Helan was terrified, and wanted to stop Chong Liu from continuing this suicidal behavior several times, but Chong Liu hugged him stubbornly, kissed him stubbornly, swallowing the poison that hurt him.

Finally, Zhongliu let go of him.

Zhu Helan panted heavily, and looked down at her intact body.Fear filled his eyes again, he didn't know how Chong Liu could remove the poison so thoroughly, and he didn't have time to think about it, he just grabbed Chong Liu's shoulder, "Are you crazy! Spit it out! "

But Chong Liu just pursed his lips, and quickly licked his tongue on his lips, smiling a little shyly, "Boss, I'm fine."

"It's all right! I've never seen such a poisonous thing before, you..."

"It's the same as me, so I'm not afraid of its poison." Chong Liu said, turning his head to look at it, which was still struggling to climb out of the crystal sea.

"the same?"

Zhu Helan could feel that there was something different about Chong Liu...

It's not that he suspects that the one in front of him is also fake, it's just...Chong Liu seems to have grown up and become complete suddenly.Before, he was just a young man corrupted by filth, and his identity always showed an erratic illusion.

But now, Liu'er seems to have surpassed that illusion, and has completely become another kind of life.

what happened?

"Do you know what it is?" Zhu Helan's gaze also fell on Fake Chongliu.

Chong Liu sighed and said in a low voice, "My brother."

Zhu Helan almost thought he heard it wrong, "What?"

Chong Liu stood up and walked towards the fake Chong Liu who was staring at his movements in fear, and said as he walked, "We are made of the same thing, but he was a little earlier than me."

"Let me go..." The fake Zhongliu crawled on the ground, watching Chongliu approaching in horror and pity, trying to get up in a hurry.But Chong Liu hurt it too badly, it couldn't get up, so it could only drag its heavy tentacles back in embarrassment, begging in its mouth, "Please...don't kill me...I promise I won't kill you again... Dare! Don't kill me! I don't want to die!"

When Chong Liu was killed by it, the tentacles were torn off one by one, the abdominal cavity was torn, and the skull was drilled into it...

Chong Liuyi forgot it at first, but seeing it now, all the memories came back to his consciousness.

Probably because it was too scary, so he chose to temporarily forget it?

Chong Liu also cried and begged at that time.Because it hurts so much, compared to the fear of death, the horror of seeing one's body being dismantled bit by bit is stronger.

But it did not show him any mercy.

Now it was begging him for forgiveness.

But at this moment, Chong Liu heard a chaotic scream from a distance.Looking up, I saw that the group of officers and soldiers hiding in the distance saw the giant ground chinch that suddenly rushed out of the wall. They were so frightened that they ran away in a daze.

Suddenly a purple shadow descended from the sky, grabbed the collar of the officer and soldier, and threw the tall man to the ground.

"I don't want to kill you?!" Yuanchu, who arrived in time, cursed, turned his head and shouted at the crowd, "Don't panic! Don't run around! It doesn't hurt anyone!"

At the moment when Chong Liu's attention was drawn away, the fake Chong Liu who was lying on the ground, weak and pleading, suddenly moved.A tentacle with long and sharp spikes growing like a sharp knife at the end turned into a cold light and pierced Chong Liu's heart.

"Liu'er!!!" Zhu Helan turned pale with shock and rushed forward, but it was too late.

It's just that the spike didn't pierce Chong Liu's heart.It stopped in mid-air, tightly strangled by Chong Liu's hand.

Chong Liu didn't even have time to think, it was an instinctive reaction.

Reluctantly, it raised several tentacles with huge poisonous needles and tried to cut him into pieces, but just as they were raised, they were held down by several other arms that were much stronger than it.Chong Liu lowered his eyes, under the smoldering anger, there was a hint of disappointment and sadness hidden.

"Is that why you begged me?" Chong Liu said, suddenly raised his foot and stepped on its back.It roared and cursed, "Why! Why are you the last one! I am the same as you! I am no worse than you!"

Chong Liu moved his feet, squatted down and stared at the face that was very similar to himself.They are all like Master, and they are all Master's children.

If... in a different position.If I was born before, but it was the last... Will their positions be reversed at this moment?Will he also gradually become distorted and full of hatred in the dark?

Why did Master give it up?And why choose yourself?Just because I was the last one?

My heart felt empty, as if everything had become unreal.

Is it kindness to end its life?

"You eat people..." Chong Liu sniffed the smell from it, "If you keep you and let you out, you will eat more people. You don't know how to control." It was locked here, Even the most basic survival is extremely difficult, seeing that everything is food, and unable to see more things.It does not know what is mercy, what is right and what is wrong.Because no one has pity on it.

Chong Liu felt a dull pain in his heart, but what could he do?

"I... can't keep you." Chong Liu raised a huge octopus tentacle extending from his back, and the petal-shaped organ at the end opened, revealing densely packed sharp teeth.

The anger and unwillingness on its face immediately dissipated, and the instinct to survive and the fear of extinction overwhelmed everything.Tears flowed from its eyes, it looked up at Chong Liu in despair, and reached out to grab the hem of his clothes.

"Don't kill me...I can't get out...I don't dare anymore, I promise I won't eat people again...Don't kill me...Please...Please!"

Chong Liu closed his eyes and said softly, "You and I are one, I know you are lying."

The huge mouth that opened ruthlessly bit its back.

It let out an inhuman, horrific scream.The tentacles all over its body burst out with too bright, desperately bright light, almost as dazzling as Chong Liu's appearance.

While screaming, its body began to shrink, like a slug thrown into salt water.A large amount of mucus acid overflowed from its body and flowed across the ground.

It was getting smaller and smaller, and its voice was getting thinner and thinner.Its tentacles tightened and hugged into a ball, making a gesture of protecting itself, even this protection was futile.

Finally, it was so small that it was almost invisible.

Chong Liu lifted the tentacle and shrank it back into his body.I saw that where it was lying, there was a strange ball with a blue luster.I can't tell what material it is, it's a bit like metal, it feels cool and smooth to the touch and is extremely hard, and the surface is covered with hook-like protrusions.

Chong Liu bent down and picked it up.

Zhu Helan said softly behind him at this time, "You left it alive after all."

Guan Zhongliu turned his head back, with a hint of timidity in his flickering eyes, "It has an extraordinary connection with me, and now I'm forcing it into a dormant state, unless I wake it up, it can't hurt anyone anymore gone."

"It's just that it doesn't necessarily remember your kindness." Zhu Helan walked up to him and stared at him quietly.

Chong Liu felt uneasy, he was afraid that the shopkeeper would ask him how he got these abilities, how he knew how to control his distortion, how he knew so many things he didn't know before...

I'm afraid that the shopkeeper will know that he is not human, he has never been human...

But Zhu Helan just looked at him for a long time, his eyes became more and more remote and deep.Then he suddenly stretched out his hand and hugged Chong Liu tightly into his arms.
