Chapter 40: Demon Servant (2)
If the appearance of Wang Lu made Liang Ye and Lu Hanyi feel unhappy and disgusted, the appearance of this man made the three of them enter a state of high tension and full alert at the same time.Wang Lu put away her innocent smile, pursed her lips, and quietly retreated behind the two men.Liang Ye was a little disdainful of her little gesture, but he didn't stop her, his eyes were fixed on the entrance of the Forbidden Forest.The alien world surrounding the three of them has greatly shrunk, leaving only a radius of about one or two meters, which seems to be able to gather strength more.

The visitor approached slowly.Judging from his figure, this person's legs and feet are a little bit wrong, and he walks staggeringly and crookedly, and his figure is quite weird, as if he has a big neck disease, the neck is so thick that the head It was tilted to one side, and a large tumor hung on the other side.

Only after walking within the line of sight can one see his terrifying appearance. Anyone who sees him for the first time will be shocked: his neck is not thick and crooked, nor does he have any tumors. Instead, an extra head grew on the neck.

This is a rare case of bicephaly.

The two-headed deformity limped up to the trio.Of his two heads, the smaller one is located on the left side of his neck, about the size of a coconut, hanging aside with his eyes closed and motionless, it looks like a decorative human head chopped off by cannibals and dried. The one on the right is the size of a normal human being and has to be tilted to the right due to being squeezed by the other.On this head is a rude and ugly big face, which looks to be about 40 years old, half of the cheeks are stiff and expressionless, and the other half has a distorted and hideous smile, coupled with a bald head full of scars and a hand dragged on the ground The disabled left leg looked like a failed product of the Creator grabbing a handful of dirt and kneading it.

He grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, and a pair of venomous snake-like triangular eyes radiated a sharp and cruel light, looking at the three people in front of him as if sizing up prey.The three of them all had tense faces, staring at him intently, as if the slightest negligence might be taken advantage of by his fangs.

"Look at how tightly you hold the moth marks..." After a long silence, he finally said, "Don't be so nervous, relax, I'm not here to kill you today."

After speaking, he slowly dragged his left leg to the door of the tomb.Wang Lu immediately dodged timidly. Although Liang Ye and Lu Hanyi didn't move, their eyes followed each other's figure closely. The strange layer that the two-headed man called "beetle marks" covered their bodies. The light didn't change either.The two-headed man didn't care, he put his hand on the stone door, and seemed to be humming some song casually. A minute later, he turned around, with a wider smile on his face: "What is happening in this tomb now is very interesting, really very interesting."

"What's going on inside?" Wang Lu couldn't help asking in a low voice.

"You'll know when you go in, let's do your work, Xiaolu." The two-headed man hooked his fingers at Wang Lu.

"What work?" Wang Lu was stunned.

"Those two trash are useless, it's up to you and me to smash these broken stones." The two-headed man staggered and kicked at Shimen, "Otherwise, the Chosen One will die." gone."

two

Of course, Feng Si didn't know that he was already regarded as the "chosen one" by many people.Even if he knew, he could only complain angrily: What the hell is the Chosen One?Chosen by God to deliver the dead?

Just a few seconds ago, the ancestor suddenly exploded in front of him.It is actually not very accurate to say that it exploded, because this process does not have the impact and explosive force of ordinary explosions. A more accurate term should be: disintegration.

The ancestor disintegrated, and his huge body turned into countless fragments in an instant.These glowing white pieces of meat have irregular shapes, and each piece is about the size of a walnut. After falling on the ground, they are still bouncing and wriggling, like a group of ugly little reptiles.

This scene made people feel disgusted, not to mention the danger of these fragments, Feng Si hurriedly pulled Guan Xueying out of the temple.

"Stay outside, don't go in." He said as he re-entered, intending to help the old village chief who was seriously injured and unconscious.Only then did he realize that there were some strange changes in those fragments.

The fragments were just wriggling chaotically at first, but after less than a minute, they began to gather together nearby.Scattered small fragments gathered together, stuck to each other, fused together like water droplets, and gradually formed larger fragments, and these larger fragments continued to adhere to other large fragments, thousands of small fragments The fragments gradually turned into dozens of medium-sized fragments of different sizes, the large ones were as large as a small poultry, and the small ones were equivalent to a football or a brick.

The next scene is even more peculiar.The activities of these medium-sized fragments began to have differences, as if they had made different choices: some fragments continued to stick to each other with the surrounding fragments, but due to their larger size, the process of fusion slowed down significantly; while the remaining Some of the lower pieces no longer merged with other pieces, but began to deform on their own.They swelled and shrank suddenly, and their shapes changed drastically, and such changes had no commonality at all. Some gradually became round, while others showed sharp edges and corners, and some desperately stretched themselves into long strips.

Feng Si was inexplicably attracted by this grotesque scene.He first dragged Wan Dongfeng out and handed it to Guan Xueying, then returned to the temple again, carefully observing the changes in these fragments, not knowing whether he was nervous or slightly excited.These fragments seemed to be chaotic and disordered at first, and gradually began to find a specific direction as independent individuals. This astonishing change in just a few minutes reminded Fons of a process that lasted for hundreds of millions of years. .

That is evolution.

"What the hell are you? What the hell are you guys?" Feng Si's tone was full of confusion.He recalled the body of his ancestor, and then looked at the countless disintegrated clones in front of him. It was really difficult to figure out what its essence was.After being distracted for a while, he refocused his sight on the changing fragments, only to find that several of them had produced new mutations.

Those were a few medium-sized fragments that had been trying to fuse together before, and at this moment they were finally completely glued together and merged into a whole, forming a brand new shape.And this new fusion is almost exactly the same shape as the previous ancestor. It is still similar to a giant brain, but it is much smaller.

Seeing the birth of this new "brain", Feng Si suddenly realized that something was wrong.His nose smelled some strange smells, although there was some fishy smell faintly mixed in, but overall it was close to the smell of meat.This unbelievable smell of meat was mixed with the still undiminished blood, which made him feel that danger was approaching rapidly.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly turned around and prepared to run out, but it was already too late.As soon as he took two steps, he felt something pulling the soles of his feet.Looking down, it was a hand.

A hand formed from the small fragments of the ancestor's disintegration. It has no wrist, arm and no torso. It is a hand that exists alone.The hand crawled over the ground like a bug and grabbed Fons' ankle.

Fons kicked this hand hard, but it didn't seem to feel any pain at all. No matter how much Fons stomped on it, he wouldn't let go.Moreover, the strength of this hand was greater than that of ordinary people's palms. It was only a small hand, which made it difficult for Feng Si's body weighing nearly [-] kilograms to move.

What happened next was even more terrifying.After the brain-like fusion appeared, some small fragments also began to quickly combine. They wrapped the "brain" in it, and the volume expanded rapidly, gradually forming the shape of a human body.Its skin color is constantly changing and adjusting, from the initial gray to crimson, then to miserable green, and then to deep purple, and finally gradually showing normal human skin color, and the muddy skin has become alive little by little. The texture of the skin.

—they are becoming one!

Although this so-called "person" may be just a shape, like a plastic mannequin, Fons is still deeply shocked by this change.This "person" is like the lines drawn by a painter, or the mud in the hands of a sculptor. From rough to fine, it becomes more and more like a real person.It had skin, smooth lines, muscular contours and hair, and a face shape, and Fons had vaguely predicted the face shape of this "human" from the very beginning.

"It's the second time... Am I really that popular? And can you change a pair of pants anyway?" He smiled self-deprecatingly, looking at the naked "self" opposite.This humanoid fragment polymer is exactly the same as himself, even the shallow scar left by the fight on the forehead is not missing.

Now the two Fons stood facing each other, the one in a dirty coat, the other naked.In addition, they have the same body shape and the same appearance. If it is not for the difference in clothing, they are like looking in a mirror.

But Feng Si was a little puzzled.If it is said that the time when he fell into a foreign land on the train, the unknown enemy used the cloud in the shape of his human head to demonstrate to him, why did these fragments in front of him have to form his appearance?They can completely change into some more powerful forms, such as the giant monster waving tentacles before the ancestor disintegrated.Is it just to make a naked Fons to humiliate himself and lighten his momentum?
The avatar on the opposite side seemed to have mind reading skills, seeing through what Feng Si was thinking, and there was a strange "gurgling" sound in his throat, which suddenly turned into a voice: "I just follow the template closest to me and choose the most convenient one. The human form can be combined in a way so that you can have human speech organs to talk to you. The human body is a complex structure, and it is difficult to simulate the speech organs alone."

"As expected, you can not only understand human speech, but also speak it yourself, which is quite suitable for the identity of a thousand-year-old monster." Feng Si nodded, "So, now you obviously plan to have a conversation with me, don't you?"

The avatar on the opposite side nodded deeply, and Feng Si let out a long breath: "That's fine, no matter what, you are finally the first 'person' I meet who is willing to tell me something... But, you'd better go first Do one thing."

He took out a pair of old patched military trousers from his backpack, which Guan Xueying secretly stole from home for him to change and wash when he was hiding in the cave.He handed the military trousers to the avatar, and pointed to Guan Xueying who was poking her head towards the entrance of the temple: "Be civilized and polite in front of ladies."

"Let me think about where to start..." The avatar wearing military trousers and topless was sitting on the floor. The face was indeed exactly the same as Fons, but the expression on his face was as rigid as an ice sculpture, and his tone of voice was lacking. It's also like electronic synthesis sound without cadence.Feng Si tried his best to suppress this strange feeling of familiarity and strangeness, watching the other party's every move, and at the same time paying attention to other fragments.After the formation of this human form, they stopped their activities temporarily, but Feng Si couldn't be sure if they would explode suddenly.

"Or let me ask: what are you, or you, what is it?" This was the first question he asked, and it was also the most important question.Everything that happened to him was due to this.

"We are a group of servants, a group of servants who are struggling to find their master." The avatar replied very happily.But Feng Si understood every word in this sentence, but when combined, it was as if nothing had been said.

"Servant? Looking for the master? Have you been abandoned by the master?" Feng Si asked.

"Maybe it's not necessarily the voluntary abandonment, but maybe it's forced." There was a hint of bewilderment in the avatar's eyes, and this expression finally made him look like a real person, "I've been trapped in this small mountain village for thousands of years, The master never showed up to call."

"Who is your master?"

"It is a... devil king who has been erased from all history books, but exists in every period of history."

"Demon King?"

"The devil or the devil is a name borrowed from your human culture. In fact, I don't know how to characterize it. It can be called a devil, a monster, a foreign race or a foreign race. It was born The age of the human is earlier than that of human beings. It has coexisted with human beings for a long period of time, but it is fighting with human beings to the death. The interesting thing is that despite this, no one has ever seen the true face of the master. , are all servants and slaves commanded by the master."

Devil.

This was originally a somewhat vague term, and it was not easy for people to understand it, but Feng Si was able to grasp the key point at once, because he suddenly recalled the hallucination on the train.

Those raging flames sweeping through everything, those rivers of blood flowing vertically and horizontally, those humans and monsters fighting to the death... He had never understood what such a scene meant before, but now he finally understood, what the illusion described , is the scene where the subordinates of the devil wage war with humans.It was a war that did not allow the slightest cowardice to retreat, because the result of failure might be the extermination of the genocide.

What kind of history would that be?Feng Si couldn't help thinking.Primitives wearing animal skins and wielding stone axes even had difficulty hunting by themselves, but they had to fight to the death with such a powerful monster army. Any failure would bring about the extinction of the race.From the ancient apes to the age of civilization, from West Asia to the South Asian subcontinent, from the Americas to Africa, how many human beings from different periods and origins have fought fiercely with the servants of this devil?Why is such a song and tearful history not handed down at all?And those monsters with weird and hideous shapes have never even been found as fossil remains?

"But I have never heard of this period of history. Why was it erased from history?" Feng Si asked, "If it is really such a serious event, it will more or less leave traces, right?"

"Of course there will be traces left, otherwise how would you find this place?" the avatar asked back.

How clever to avoid my first question like that, Fons thought sullenly.He paused, then asked again: "According to what you said, your master's purpose is to destroy human beings? Isn't this too clichéd?"

"The war with humans is just an appearance, and I don't know what the master's ultimate goal is." The avatar said, "As far as I know, since the appearance of Australopithecus 800 million years ago, the master has had countless opportunities to take this It wiped out the species that represented the divide between humans and animals, but it didn't do that."

"You are its servant, and you don't know what it wants to do?" Feng Si was a little surprised.

"Frankly speaking, no demon servant has ever seen the true face of the master, or even talked with the master. The master's instructions are all unilaterally issued to us. But in the dark, I always have Such an unshakable belief: I am the master's servant, and I will always wait for the master's call."

This is like a hidden genetic switch, Feng Si thought, perhaps all the servants of this master are subject to this invisible control.In any case, this is the most important achievement since the incident happened, because the general direction has finally been found.The catastrophe he was involved in seemed to be even bigger than he had imagined before.

"The demons that coexist with humans...the alien races that are at war with humans..." Feng Si muttered to himself, "It is indeed a fatal event, but what does all this have to do with me? Why would anyone want to control Me, someone wants to kill me?"

"Because you are most likely the chosen one that people have been looking for for thousands of years." The avatar replied.
