Returning from the abyss

Chapter 763 Hopeless Faith
Near the evening, Lu Chunxiao called Lu Ning and told about Chu Wei's situation.A person who claimed to be Cousin Chuwei came to take care of him and thanked her and the coach.The doctor's diagnosis of Chu Wei failed to form a unified result, but the consensus was that Chu Wei looked terrible, but in fact there was no major physical problem, as long as he rested normally and replenished his blood.

"I haven't heard that there is no major problem with bleeding from the seven orifices. Is this doctor accurate..." Lu Chunxiao complained.

Lu Ning had to deal with a few sentences, who made her observe the same conclusion?The doctor really didn't make a mistake.After hanging up the phone, she explained the situation to Ying Caiyi and Li Xian, and they also felt that the diagnosis was outrageous.

"Is Miss Lu coming back tonight?" Li Xian asked.

"Since some relatives have arrived, she probably won't need to accompany her to the bed. Let's see if she's worried." Lu Ning cleaned up the table, glanced at the monster ornament she bought, and suddenly found that the distortion point on it seemed to have stabilized up.

She remembered that there was still a little fluctuation yesterday.It seems that the distortion point will disappear if it is not triggered for a long time?
This is a very interesting discovery. Lu Ning reached out and took off the ornament, and observed it carefully. The trace on it had completely disappeared. Now this ornament is completely a set of decorations.

"Lu Ning, the literature club has an event tomorrow."

Ying Caiyi called Lu Ning.

"Events? I don't remember any activities. The club activities are notified two or three days in advance, right?" Lu Ning and Ying Caiyi are both in the literature club, but they are not important members of that club, they only participate occasionally The event is very popular, but it happens that tomorrow is fine, so she is also a little interested.

"It was notified by email, it seems that a famous writer who came here was invited... the pen name is Cui Fu, and the notification was so urgent because it was temporary. First the lecture, and then the exchange meeting, it seems to be interesting."

"Cui Fu? Who is it?"

"Let me check...he is... a contemporary young writer and a screenwriter. He has written "Spring and Autumn in the City", "White Fish and the Poet", and "Ink Clock" several works."

"What did you say? "Ink Clock"? Isn't there going to be a film and television adaptation recently?" Li Xian heard that instead a carp bounced up from the bed, "You're talking about the original author Cui Fu? Oh, can you let me join in too? join in the fun?"

"I'll ask the president... Lu Ning, will you go?"

"Go, there's nothing to do anyway."

Tang Ling and a boy got off the bus, both of them were dressed in rags, as if they had escaped from a ravine, and the people around them gave strange eyes.

"Sister, what are we doing here?"

"Don't ask." Tang Ling glanced at the boy, "Just follow me as you said."

The boy's name was Tong Yang, Tang Ling managed to figure out his name, but his impression of him was still very thin, he just vaguely remembered that there seemed to be such a boy in his childhood.

Tong Yang's trust in her was also quite strong. When Tang Ling was about to leave, the boy almost immediately expressed that he wanted to go with her.Originally, Tang Ling didn't want to bring an oil bottle, but perhaps because of her life in the distribution center, she agreed to the boy by mistake.

Tang Ling ignored the black car drivers holding signs on the side of the road, and led the boy along the street to a construction site ahead.Although she was dressed like this, she was not without money.When leaving, Tang Ling approached a well-known local boss, killed his whole family at night, and stole enough funds to squander on the road.

However, she has no purpose. The term normal life is far from Tang Ling. Only people similar to her can live with her. At this time, a strange incident encountered by chance aroused Tang Ling's interest.In a dilapidated building, she met a group of robbers who seemed to have lost their minds. They were all dressed in workers' clothes, but their bodies revealed different attributes mottledly.Tong Yang couldn't understand what was going on, but Tang Ling immediately noticed that these people seemed to be polluted in some way.

But even if it is polluted, she can easily kill these people.This time she did it in front of Tong Yang, just to observe Tong Yang's reaction, and it turned out that this boy adapted well to it.

Then, Tang Ling traced four places along the clues left by these people, and the last one was the construction site where they started working.

The work speed on the construction site has slowed down in winter, but it is still a busy scene.Tang Ling shook at the door, and a guard came over to ask her, and she took the opportunity to ask the names of several workers.

The guard went back to inquire, and soon a worker in his 40s came out and asked in a very rural accent, "Little girl, what do you want from them?"

"I picked up a few work permits when I was in the car, and they happened to be not far from here, so I sent them over." Tang Ling took out a work pass, "It says here."

"Yes, they were still working here in July, but it seems that something happened at home, and they left in a hurry after paying their wages. I guess this thing is no longer needed and thrown away." The worker said, "Girl, you It’s a good intention, but these things are useless.”

"That's it, it's okay. But, can the construction site workers leave casually? Isn't it signed a contract?"

"It depends on whether the foreman and the boss are good or not. After all, no one wants to have an accident at home. Our boss is pretty good. However, there is some chaos around this place. You should leave quickly, little girl, and wait for this Once a piece of land is built, it will be easy to manage." The worker persuaded.

"Well, thank you."

Tang Ling retreated to a place a little farther away, called Tong Yang, and the two walked into a narrow alley next to it. There were all kinds of small shops doing unknown businesses, just as the worker said before. The same, mess can be.

The two walked into a shampoo room, and the people inside took a look and found that there was only a young girl and a younger boy, so no one was interested, and no one even came to greet the two.Tang Ling patted a table vigorously, and shouted, "Where is the person in charge here?"

"What are you shouting for! Are you going to die?"

A fat woman squeezed out with difficulty from the other side of the door. When she saw Tang Ling and the two of them, their expressions became even worse: "Where did you come from? Why are you making so much noise? We don't recruit workers here!"

"I want to inquire about something."

"Inquire about things?" The fat woman sneered, "The things here are not so easy to inquire about, either rich or powerful, little girl, what can you inquire about?"

Several people around had stood up and surrounded them, faintly blocking the way behind the two of them.

Tang Ling broke off the corner of the table casually.

The fat woman's expression suddenly changed. The table was an iron table with a five-centimeter-thick iron plate. She had never heard of anyone who could break such a thing with bare hands.

"Everyone should be able to live here. You should have some insight. Let me ask a question, and I hope no one will be ungrateful." Tang Ling rolled the iron plate into a ball in his hand and threw it at the fat woman's feet.

"You ask."

"The nearby construction site has been under construction for several months. Do you know the people there?"

The fat woman apologized and said with a smile: "Yes, there is consumption in our street near here. Almost all the workers there recognize it, and if you don't recognize it, you can ask about it. As long as you give me a name, I will know it. "

Tang Ling threw away the several work permits he had obtained.

"I need to know all the relevant information about these people, including what habits they have, who they have been in contact with, and when they left."

About an hour later, Tang Ling came out of the store, and the fat woman sent the evil star away in cold sweat.

Tang Ling was a little confused.

The world she returned to was much the same as what she remembered, but there was also a subtle difference.She has seen a lot of filth and ugliness under the hypocritical mask of human beings, and she even thought that most people in the world she lived in were hopeless.

However, when she died before, she didn't have a chance to see the outside world. All she knew was from the radio and some newspapers and magazines.In addition, the people she met at the distribution center opened up a lot of horizons for her, and now Tang Ling was a little confused.

She looked at her hand, originally thought that after returning from the distribution center, she could live in this world as she wanted, but what she discovered now made her suspect that there were still forces in this world that could rival her own power. Do things... really exist?

Sublime flesh and blood—Tang Ling chose the scene ability she brought back for herself. For a veteran tourist like her, of course, there are dozens of different abilities for her to choose from, and this ability is the strongest and most convenient for Tang Ling one.She can affect all life forms through her body, reconstruct the characteristics of life from the atomic level, and even directly deprive them of life.As long as Tang Ling has this idea, she can create a biological disaster such as biochemical crisis, alien invasion, gene mutation, etc. at will.Transforming one's own body into something superhuman is just the simplest application of this ability.

However... Tang Ling is not planning to implement any human transformation plan. Her character is far from that kind of devil king. She just hopes that she can live a happy life, and now this unknown situation is a kind of dissatisfaction for her. thing.

"That's odd enough."

Tang Ling and Tong Yang walked to the end of the street, where there was a small dilapidated house, she opened the door there, and there was a strong smell of medicine and stench from the room.

"Hey, don't the people here know how to clean the house?"

"My time is running out, kid..." An old voice came from the room, "If you don't mind, please open the window for me..."

Tang Ling walked into the house and opened the window. The outside air was blown in with the wind, taking away a little of the strong smell in the house.

"I heard that many people who left have visited you." She turned around and looked at the person lying on the bed in the corner.The man's hair was already pale, and his description was haggard, only a pair of eyes were still shining.

"Yes... If someone can really track this down, it must be... a capable person." The old man coughed twice, and then laughed slowly, "The one I'm waiting for is you..."

"wait for me?"

"You have hatred and anger in your heart, but you have nowhere to vent it. You have no intention of being an enemy of the world, yet you hate this world. This hopeless hatred has brought you here...I, the last choice."

"Stop talking to me, who are you?"

"Pharmacist...that's what we call ourselves." The old man smiled and picked up a jar from the bedside, brought it to his nose and took a deep breath, then put it down.

"Poison?" Tang Lingyi frowned.

"No, no, our medicine is a medicine that truly saves the world...Young man, I can clearly see the confusion in your heart, which also proves that I do have this ability. This kind of knowledge bestowed by God is not blessed to be enjoyed. Those seeds have been scattered, but the root system... ahem, the root system cannot be broken..."

"What." Tang Ling curled his lips, walked up to the old man, and glanced at the jar, which contained some gray powder without any smell.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, haha, I'm too impatient. However, your life lacks a goal. I'm not wrong about that, am I?"

"You seem to be a bit capable, but so what?"

"Want to know? My ability, my knowledge, all of these... are actually greater than you think, you are suitable, and you should find the meaning of your life instead of wasting your time."

"Unless you explain everything to me clearly, I won't listen to your nonsense at all." Tang Ling said coldly, "Don't think that I dare not kill you when you are old and dying, as long as I do it, you will die It must be done so quietly that no one will know for another century."

"I believe, I believe." The old man was still smiling, "You should have such courage, as you should. I will tell you everything, everything—"

At this moment, the old man's expression froze, and Tang Ling had already raised his hand and pierced his abdomen with his fingers through the thin quilt.

"I don't trust anyone in this world, especially a cult leader like you." Tang Ling squinted and said, "Good people? Bad people? No, there is only this distinction between me and others in this world. You think your things can seduce me Is it? The number of paragraphs is still too low. If I need something, I can read it myself, and I don’t need to bear any responsibility at all... I hate these inexplicable responsibilities.”

The old man's body shrank rapidly, became fatigued, and then deformed.There was a crackling sound from the bones and flesh, and Tang Ling finally picked it up, and it turned into a book between her fingers.

"Aberrations? Believers? Hmph, I'm getting less and less convinced that I'm returning to my original world. After all, how could I want to go back to that shitty place."

There was the sound of flipping through books and Tang Ling's slightly cold voice talking to himself.
