Chapter 595 Gan

Raindrops made pits on the tan skin.

Suppressing the pain of being hit by the rain all over his body, he shrank his body as much as possible, hoping to reduce his pain in this way.

Both sides of the road began to collapse, and countless gravels fell to the next level of the community. He lowered his head at a height of tens of meters, wanting to see the light source on the street of another community, but unfortunately all he saw was endless darkness abyss.

The faint whispers of Xisuo still tried to lead him to the edge of the cliff.

"Messenger, how far do we have to go?"

Looking at the cracks that had spread to his feet, panic prompted him to ask the three messengers in front of him.

He was afraid that he would not last the moment of prayer.

"The time has come. Your sins can only be forgiven if you repent sincerely."

The messenger with the lantern in his hand turned sideways, the lantern in his hand was raised high, and in his opinion, the extremely warm light illuminated the road ahead.

There are abysses on both sides, but there is a stone path in the center that he can pass alone. When his eyes cast along this stone path to the distance, tears slipped from the corners of his eyes uncontrollably.

At the end of the stone path is a huge platform.

A verdant ancient tree was standing there. In this world full of darkness and despair, the color that represented vitality made him take steps almost as soon as he realized it, rushing towards that place recklessly. place.

Depressed, depressed, depressed, all the negative emotions dissipated without a trace the moment he came to the platform where the ancient tree was.

Looking up at the lush tree canopy, the wind and rain falling on it can only change into crystal dewdrops, and I reached out to pick one up and put it in my mouth, sweet!

This is my place of salvation!
He thought so.

So he knelt down on the ground, kissed the ground of the platform over and over again, and said words of repentance, as if he wanted to confide all the mistakes he had made in the past.

Until the wooden vine fell in front of his eyes, he suddenly realized what he should really do.

Standing up and grabbing it, wrapping it around his neck, it wasn't as cold and rigid as he imagined, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief at the soft touch. It might be his best choice to rest in this way.

Looking back at the way he came from, the three envoys were looking at him. For some reason, he felt that the faces of the three must be full of approval.

Release your hand.

Feet are still on the ground, but consciousness is plunged into permanent darkness.

"I didn't expect that there would be a bone tree here."

The three of them came to the middle of the intersection, and the first thing Zhu Jue noticed was the uncomfortable bony tree full of tentacles!

Only this time it doesn't have the polluted area and the guards of the infected.

Occupying the center of the street, the bare and off-white tree roots are criss-crossed on the street, and the dry branches extend unscrupulously to all parts of the street, which makes it look like a beast dormant in the dark, stretching Minions, waiting for the prey to take the initiative to come to the door.

No, it is waiting for the servants to offer their prey to it!

"He committed suicide?"

Gu Yinxing murmured blankly when he saw the scene where the man leaped over the three men in black robes and took the initiative to grab a tentacle and hang himself.

Xu Shi saw that the prey was dead, so the man in black who sent him here turned to another street and quickly disappeared in the heavy rain.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhu Jue began to approach Bone Tree: "To be precise, I was bewitched. I have seen similar scenes in community 37. They think this is not death, but redemption or something else. I have to rely on Go and have a look."

Said to be close, Zhu Jue didn't really go to the bottom of the bone tree, it was the existence cultivated by Gadamon's offspring, and it was guaranteed to be monitored by Mi Ge. expose themselves through their actions.

Why did the Ouroboros organization create a bone tree in Gadamon's illusion?
Standing more than ten meters away from the bone tree, I could barely see its whole picture clearly. After looking at it for a while, Zhu Jue found that it was different from the bone tree I saw in No. 37 and No. 40 communities. It doesn't make any difference.

This made Zhu Jue fall into thinking.

In his impression, the Ouroboros organization used the gadamon sprites to create a polluted area with bone trees in the bottom-level communities. One of the purposes was to provide fruits that could transform the infected by infecting the population.

Of course, this kind of behavior also caused panic in a large area and brought a lot of trouble to the Qianfan City government.

But this is Gadamon's illusion, a complete spiritual world. Even if the fruit is produced in this way, it is impossible for them to take it out, and it will not have any impact on the real world.

But they still continue to do this kind of thing, which means that there must be some kind of secret hidden in it.

"Can you see anything?"

Gu Yinxing stared at Zhu Jue's face, hoping that he would discover something.

Being close to the bone tree made the discomfort in her mind gradually develop into a feeling of vomiting, and the whispers in her ears made her even more horrified.

"How do you feel now, can you hold on?"

Finding something wrong with Gu Yinxing's expression, Zhu Jue asked instead of answering her question.

"Although I really want to last a little longer, I'm afraid the reality will not allow it"

"Understood, it won't take long for you to wait for me here."

Zhu Jue was going to take two steps forward, he chose the former between leaving with nothing and taking some risks.

Try to stabilize your mental state as much as possible, take a few steps forward, and keep a certain distance from the bone tree while continuing to observe the corpse. Zhu Jue is the only one who can observe it now.

Not to mention, because of the closer distance, Zhu Jue found that the corpse had actually changed a little compared to before, and it was becoming transparent!

This state is a bit like the "blurring" in some video production software. The human figure does not change, but the parts of the corpse are translucent, as if the tentacles entangled around its neck are absorbing and maintaining its existence. energy of
Wait, energy?
The divergence of thinking made Zhu Jue suddenly think of a key clue that he had ignored.

The corpse in front of me is not a real corpse, it's just someone's dead soul!

The bone tree in Community No. 37 produces fruit by absorbing infected people, so what will this bone tree produce after absorbing souls?
Zhu Jue looked back at Gu Ginkgo, who gave a thumbs up in the rain, indicating that he could still withstand it.

Looking back, the line of sight began to wander among the branches.

However, until the corpse completely disappeared, Zhu Jue didn't find anything growing on the bone tree, and those branches were still bare, with nothing but tentacles.

Where did the absorbed soul go?

Just when Zhu Jue was puzzled, his eyes moved down unconsciously, and fell on those "passers-by" who were still unaware.

His sight suddenly froze!

Immediately, he widened his eyes and carefully observed the posture of the "passer-by".

The Adam's apple fluctuated up and down, and in the end, he could only spit out one syllable: "Gan!"
