parasitic son

Liu Xingquan was sitting at his desk dealing with official business.

Written messages from various branches piled up on his desk.A small octopus was lying on the table, flipping through pages of paper with its tentacles.Then it turned to Liu Xingquan and said, "Sure enough, Wei Jingjing's father was also brought in. We finally found him."

"Not the king?"

"It's not the fake one, it's the real Uncle Wei Hongzhuo in the real world." Little Octopus looked at the document and said, "Ah, there's Cui Mingzhi."

"Cui Mingzhi also came in?"

"Yes." The little octopus exhaled, "According to our intelligence investigation these days, it seems that the people should be assembled."

"Wei Jingjing..." Liu Xingquan said worriedly, "What's going on with her?"

"Repel mutations." The little octopus said, "Compared to us players who were pulled in, Wei Jingjing was the first person to illegally invade the game. And there is another thing in her body."

"What does it mean to reject mutation?"

"When the virus has invaded your body, your body will spontaneously resist and clear the virus. Wei Jingjing is a kind of poison to this game world." The tentacles of the little octopus quickly turned to the next page, "It is worth noting that , but this game system is always misleading players intentionally or unintentionally."

"Ah. I thought we were going too far."

The little octopus waved its tentacles and said grandly, "Huh, heh, we've got everyone together, and now it's finally time for the decisive victory."

Liu Xingquan nodded.

***********************

Although the Octopus Cult showed a sense of uneasiness and weirdness, they kept their promise and provided Cui Zhizhi and his team with the fastest horses.

Cui Mingzhi and others rode horses and rushed towards the capital without stopping.

At noon on the third day, Cui Mingzhi, Wei Hongzhuo, Ren Anzhi and others arrived at the capital.

The king's capital in the game is very different from the towns they lived in before. There are many towers in the city, and the houses are divided by streets of various sizes.There are many signs on the street, and there are pubs and shops everywhere.The clothes of the people are obviously brighter than the clothes of the towns they lived in.The whole city has a lively noise.

They first lived in a new tavern in Wangdu called White Goose and Fairy.Cui Zhizhi said that in the game, taverns and hotels are the best places to inquire about news.They can gather intelligence here now.Wei Hongzhuo, the capital of Ren'an, agreed.

After Wei Hongzhuo and Ren Anzhi repeatedly inquired about the topic of the princess, most of the drinkers mentioned the rumor that the princess was seriously ill recently. Some said she had smallpox, some said she had tuberculosis, and some said she had a blind eye. A strange disease that makes people faint,

"Princess? She is a charming and pretty girl, but it feels like it's been a long time since I saw her." A drinker said, "The poor little girl has some kind of illness."

"I heard that he has an infectious disease." Another drinker took a sip of his wine, "Instead of talking about the princess, let's talk about the recently popular octopus religion."

"They say that the Octopus Cult preaches that there should be no nobles in the world. Is this true?"

"How can there be no nobles in this world? Without those wise gentlemen to deal with things, wouldn't the world be in a mess. Don't pay attention to this heresy, and beware of the king beheading you!"

"Now the prince is in charge, because the princess is ill, and the king is completely out of the mood to deal with government affairs now." The drinker shrugged.

Most of their rhetoric is the same.Wei Hongzhuo rolled his eyes, took out gold coins and asked for several barrels of good wine, claiming that he was the treat.He has always been a person in the business field, so persuading him to drink and drink is naturally a no-brainer, after a few rounds of drinking.A drinker who was happy with Wei Hongzhuo's few words revealed a piece of news.

A gardener named old Gretel knew something, they could ask that man.

Wei Hongzhuo got the information and returned to Cui Mingzhi.At this time, Ren Anzhi had finished inquiring with the waitress in the tavern, and the waitress blushed and left with the plate.Ren Anzhi said that he had inquired about a piece of news that Prince Emerald was carrying a holy sword named "Yaori" made of meteorites. It is said that the sword can drive away monsters, but he did not carry this sword on him.

The three of them combined with Gin, and now there is no clue about the holy sword, so they can only go to the gardener, Old Gretel.

Old Gretel, a gardener, lives in a low old house in the old town.Old Gretel was an old man with a gray beard and a haggard complexion.

When I saw him, the old man was pruning the flower branches for his flowers and leaves.

"Princess? I don't know anything. I'm talking nonsense anyway." Old Gretel didn't turn his head.

"Please tell us, we are here to solve the problem." Cui Mingzhi said.

"Old man, it took us three days to come all the way to investigate the truth of this rumor." Wei Hongzhuo looked at the gardener, and he said, "I just want to know what happened in the palace."

"..."

"My daughter is in the palace." Wei Hongzhuo said again, "Some people say that something bad happened to the princess in the palace. I am very worried about my daughter."

The old man turned around and said, "Go in and sit down and talk."

……

……

"Princess? She really turned into a monster." Old Gretel said. "My poor son works in the palace. He told me that he saw the monster with his own eyes. She had sharp fangs. There are three rows of teeth, a pair of twisted horns on the head, and eyes like rotten tomatoes. Even night devils are better looking than her. The first time you see her evil eyes, you know your fate or gone."

"Then may I ask your son, is he still..."

"They brought my son's body back that day, claiming that he accidentally fell off a high wall. How could he be disemboweled and lose his intestines if he fell off a high wall?"

"You mean princess..."

"I don't know. But my son once told me that the princess turned into a bloodthirsty monster. At first I thought it was another gossip about the princess."

Wei Hongzhuo was taken aback, "Has there been such remarks about Princess Jingjing before?"

"Our king has a good wife." Old Gretel lowered his voice, "I heard that the queen went out to play and entered the witch's house by mistake in the woods. The witch asked the queen to eat a piece of fruit, and then the queen returned. She became pregnant. There have always been rumors among the folks that the child is the child of a demon."

"This is Hu..." Wei Hongzhuo suppressed his temper, "This sounds like nonsense made by the editors of street tabloids."

"This is a rumor that has been going on for a long time, and the princess is very sweet and charming. Everyone just joked and didn't take it seriously. But since more than 50 days ago, my son said that there were often screams in the palace. Since then From then on, the princess turned into an ugly and terrifying monster, she went crazy and bit anyone she saw. The king and queen had to order the princess to be imprisoned in the Lion's Tooth Castle."

Ren Anzhi's eyes widened: "What happened?"

Cui Mingzhi said in a low voice: "Wei Jingjing is not a monster."

Wei Hongzhuo kept his mouth shut.

"That's the princess of the king and queen. Although this incident clearly shows that she is really the product of a monster as the rumors said. At first, the king and queen suppressed this matter, trying to make nothing happen. But these days, the monster is getting more and more The more violent, the more casualties. The king ordered to cancel the engagement with Prince Emerald directly. I guess he is under the pressure of breaking off diplomatic relations between the two countries and does not want the other party to find out that the princess is actually a monster." Old Greg Te's voice was like a heavy lead, "I'm not interested in those things between countries. My son is dead, killed by that monster. The princess should die. The king should burn that monster to death Ash."

Wei Hongzhuo said with difficulty: "So did the king seek any solution?"

"This matter cannot be made public. My son said that the king has been secretly looking for someone to try to change the princess back to the original. But those mage warriors who were recruited were all scared and fled after seeing the princess for the first time, or ran away. Not fast enough to be torn to shreds by the princess. The king and queen are as unwilling to give up as if possessed by a demon. They still feel that the monster who is no longer human, tyrannical, and always wants to hurt people is their daughter. The queen bewilderedly believes that One day her princess will be that sweet little girl again. She won't let anyone hurt her daughter. So does the king. They're all crazy, all crazy!"

"Later, this news was known by several nobles. They hired some people to try to kill the monster. Oh, don't think that these nobles have any good intentions. They just want to poke the princess in the chaos. Killed and robbed the position of the heir, but the person sent was killed by the princess, or was eaten. Now the king and queen don't trust anyone anymore, they stopped finding someone to save the princess, and just locked the princess up The nobles are for their own interests, the king and queen only think about their own daughters, who cares about us ordinary people."

Ren Anzhi glanced at Wei Hongzhuo who bowed his head and said nothing, and said to Old Gretel: "I would like to ask a question, if your son suddenly turned into a monster one day, would you give up on him?"

"My son, he has done nothing wrong, he is completely different from that child who was polluted by the devil!"

"I'm just assuming..."

"There are no assumptions. I just hope that the king can think clearly one day and kill that monster."

They left the house of old Gretel the gardener.

Wei Hongzhuo always walked ahead without looking at him.

After returning to the room of the tavern, Wei Hongzhuo talked about his next plan.

He is not sure now whether the monster in the palace is his daughter Wei Jingjing.Although the princess's name is Jingjing, considering the existing king and queen, this Jingjing may be someone else.What they have to do now is to confirm whether the monster is his daughter Wei Jingjing.

"The idea is right." Gin said while sitting on the table, "but your rank is too low. Oh, it's thanks to someone's relationship."

"Yes, it's my fault." Wei Hongzhuo nodded, "I've already thought about it. We're only investigating this time, not going head-to-head."

"Oh, let's hear it?"

"I saw something like this in the item store." Wei Hongzhuo spread his hands, "Go back to the city to send the scroll."

Cui Mingzhi's eyes lit up, "Oh, it's this!! This can get us out of the battlefield!"

"Yes. This is the key to our investigation." Wei Hongzhuo looked at Cui Mingzhi and Ren Anzhi, "I also want to ask you something."

After listening to Wei Hongzhuo's statement of his plan, the two people in the room looked at him silently.

Qin Jiu said: "I don't know if it's my illusion, I feel that you are very different from the previous few days." Cui Mingzhi and Ren Anzhi also nodded.

"I've always felt like I was having a dream. I've been very upset when I hear about Jing Jing these days, and then I don't want to think about anything and I don't want to face the world. I just think it's a child's play in a dream .But it turns out that I was sleepwalking like a living joke. I talked about going to my daughter to save her, but so many days have passed, and I have not made a single step."

Gin licked his paw and said, "Well, you're right. I remember the fifty days in prison that made us sit."

"I saw the old man just now, his son died, killed by the monster who suspected my daughter. He hated the king and queen. I know the sadness in the old man's eyes is real. Those deaths we don't know It's also true. If I could confirm the truth earlier and resolve this matter earlier..." Wei Hongzhuo clenched his fists, and he was silent for a moment, "So, I have to confirm and investigate whether that is my daughter."

The two of them stared at him silently.

"Will you help me?"

Cui Mingzhi said: "Of course! We are teammates!"

Ren Anzhi said, "President Wei, please rest assured, I'm fine."

Gin said: "Well, you humans are cuter in this way. Don't dawdle, let's go."

……

……

Three people and one cat squatted on the hillside outside Lion's Tooth Castle.

This is a dark gray castle, which looks darker and darker after a rain, like a huge and thick black iron.

Outside the high walls of the castle, a fine guard is patrolling the gate.

Behind the guards, a tall iron gate was closed.

According to the information from the investigation, the king and queen locked their daughter in this castle.The princess has become a monster, and her parents had to imprison her to wash her face with tears.

"Remember, each of us has a city return scroll. This scroll can only be used once within a certain period of time, so please use it carefully." Wei Hongzhuo looked at Cui Zhizhi and Ren Anzhi, "Once you find something is wrong, use the scroll to transfer immediately. We're not here to fight, we're just investigating."

"remember."

"Do not worry."

Wei Hongzhuo stared at the most gorgeously dressed guard captain, and nodded to Cui Mingzhi.

Cui Mingzhi held Qin Jiu's little paw, and said softly: "Come and add a buff to me, Ouhuang Maomao."

Gin Jiu patted Cui Zhizhi's palm three times with his little paw, "Then I wish you never miss."

After getting the BUFF of gin, Cui Zhizhi used the skill of "invisibility".This is the thief's exclusive skill, as long as he doesn't attack, the other party can hardly detect him.

"Little Cui, if you fail, teleport immediately." Wei Hongzhuo urged.

"Don't worry, Uncle Wei."

Cui Zhizhi's whole body disappeared into the air. In the eyes of Wei Hongzhuo and Ren Anzhi, his figure was still a little thin and transparent. In the eyes of people in this world, he had completely hidden his figure.

He tiptoed to the side of the captain of the guard, and stretched out his hand cautiously.

Wei Hongzhuo sweated a little.

Cui Mingzhi used the "stealing" skill.

Cui Mingzhi successfully stole the key of the guard captain Home.

Wei Hongzhuo and Ren Anzhi exhaled at the same time.There is a certain chance of a thief stealing a skill to miss. If Cui Zhizhi stole a miss just now, his stealth status will be invalidated and he will be discovered by the guards on the spot.

Cui Zhizhi came to the iron gate silently.

Then it was time for Ren Anzhi to appear on the stage.

Ren Anzhi recalled what Wei Hongzhuo had said to him. According to intelligence information, he, the prince, should be equipped with the Holy Sword of the Sun.But now he doesn't have any information about this holy sword, and the level is too low, Wei Hongzhuo thinks it's not the time for Ren Anzhi to fight.So Ren Anzhi was in charge of the bait task.

"If they catch up with you, teleport away immediately." Wei Hongzhuo urged.

"I know. I was waiting to save the princess with the holy sword." Ren Anzhi said.Wei Hongzhuo glared at him, Ren Anzhi smiled cheekily.

Seeing that the invisible Cui Zhizhi was already standing at the door of the iron gate, Ren Anzhi jumped out swaggeringly.

As he walked he cried, "Ah, is this where my princess is being held? I'm coming for you, princess!"

The captain of the guard stared at him: "Who? Who are you?"

"I am Princess Jingjing's fiancé, Ren Anzhi from Emerald Kingdom." Ren Anzhi shouted in the same tone he used to speak to fans on stage, "Beautiful princess, I'm here to pick you up."

"The king has broken your engagement with the princess, and he has ordered you to leave immediately!" The captain of the guard shouted, "Come on, catch him!!"

The guards rushed forward.

Ren Anzhi ran away, shouting "Princess, I'm coming~~~", and the guards chased after him.

The invisible Cui Zhizhi made an OK gesture to Wei Hongzhuo.Wei Hongzhuo took advantage of the chaos and ran over from the side.When everyone's attention was attracted by Ren Anzhi, Cui Mingzhi had already opened the iron door.

He sneaked into the Lion's Tooth Keep.

Wei Hongzhuo will confirm with his own eyes whether it is his daughter.

When entering the castle, I saw that there was no one in the castle, and it was dark and gloomy.

At this time, Cui Zhizhi remained invisible and followed Wei Hongzhuo silently.

They shuttled among the stone pillars of the castle, and only a few places in the huge castle were lit with pine oil lamps.

The faint lights cast black shadows, like a dance of ghosts.

Is this the place where Princess Jingjing was imprisoned?Wei Hongzhuo thought to himself, how cold, dark and lonely it is here.Jingjing has always been afraid of the dark...

It was all my fault.

They walked all the way, and there were sculptures standing beside the pairs of stone pillars leading to the hall. Under the dim light, Wei Hongzhuo saw the faces of the huge sculptures.

These sculptures are very similar to Uncle Wei.Cui Zhiming thought to himself.

Wei Hongzhuo looked up, and under the dim light, there were faces similar to him, staring at them as if startled by their footsteps.

Why, why are these faces so similar to mine?

He turned his head, facing another row of sculptures opposite to these sculptures, their faces were all the faces of his wife Sheng Shihua, and their faces were also staring at him.

There was sadness in their eyes, as if they were questioning him: Why did you come here now?

Why are you here now?

Because I have been reluctant to accept the reality.

Just like I have never dared to face Jing Jing.

……

……

Suddenly they heard the sound of rubbing stone slabs.

A dark figure appeared directly in front of them.

It approached them with heavy steps.Then Wei Hongzhuo saw its face, the face of that monster.

It was like the description in old Gretel's mouth, even weirder and more terrifying than that description.

Its pale skin was like new snow, its face had huge eyes like hellfire and rotten jelly, its weird teeth gleamed in the dark, saliva flowed from between them like tears, and the crow's feathers Long hair hung from its monstrous limbs, and its twisted claws shone like metal.

In the first second when this inhuman creature appeared, both Wei Hongzhuo and Cui Zhizhi stopped breathing.

It's like a creature born from a nightmare.

Then the monster lunged at them.

At the moment when the monster was about to touch Wei Hongzhuo, Cui Zhizhi, who was invisible, suddenly launched an attack, and he stabbed the dagger into the monster's waist.The monster hissed and waved its claws.

Do not! !

Cui Mingzhi was sent flying, and the boy rolled and hit the wall.

The boy's body showed [dizziness] [weakness] [residual blood] prompt status.

"Use the teleportation scroll quickly!!" Wei Hongzhuo shouted.

The boy fell unconscious on the ground.Only then did Wei Hongzhuo see that the teleportation scroll fell from the boy's body and rolled to the other side of the hall in the process of being knocked into the air just now.

The monster approached Wei Hongzhuo, it didn't attack quickly, but approached slowly as if enjoying its prey.

Wei Hongzhuo immediately activated the "Scroll of Speed", and he stared at it, counting its steps, when the monster charged at him suddenly.He turned and circled quickly, avoiding it.

The empty monster let out an annoyed neigh and charged at him again.There are still 15 seconds left, Wei Hongzhuo thought to himself, he ran in a fast circle again, although his level was far from enough, but he noticed that the difference in running speed between high and low levels in this world is not that big, so he can use the "quick speed" Scroll" to make up for the level gap.

As long as you can avoid it, you still have a chance.

Wei Hongzhuo glanced at Cui Mingzhi who was lying not far away.Soon, soon.

There are six seconds left.

The monster sprang at him again.

Wei Hongzhuo accelerated again, this time he finally circled around Cui Mingzhi.He picked up Cui Mingzhi and activated his own scroll to return to the city.

A scroll of teleportation can only teleport one person at a time.

His plan is to escape quickly after confirmation, but now that the situation has changed, he can only send Cui Zhizhi away first.

As an adult, of course Cui Mingzhi should be sent away.

The unconscious Cui Zhizhi disappeared in the light of the scroll.

And now, he will face his daughter as a father.

Yes, he knew that the monster was his daughter Wei Jingjing.

Even if she turned into such a terrifying appearance, Wei Hongzhuo knew at the first sight that she was his daughter.

The BUFF light of the haste scroll disappeared on his body.

The sound of heavy breathing approached.

"Jingjing, dad is here." He whispered.

Then a huge force hit him, and with piercing pain, Wei Hongzhuo rolled on the ground.He felt that his blood volume was reduced by 80% in an instant.

The monster let out a roar of Shashasha, it raised its sharp claws at him, and it was about to swing down——

Then, a red whirlwind blew up.

The monster's blood splashed in the air, and an ax was like a light cutting through the darkness.

The monster uttered an indescribably miserable cry, and jumped into the darkness of the hall.

A warrior appeared in front of his eyes, and the ax in her hand was faintly shining with flames.The soldier took off his helmet, revealing the face he was very familiar with. Her pupils were like stars in the night, and she looked at him with contempt: "Wei Hongzhuo, why are you only level 4???"
