The people living in the cold palace could not be treated well. He found an old bunt, maybe it was left by some palace maid, and it was no better than the soaked clothes, so he changed it.
He pressed his hand on the broken locks, and the metal melted into a liquid at room temperature and gathered in Dong Linhai's hands. Linhai patted them on the windows and doors, and the liquid metal quickly solidified, sealing the room from the inside.
After doing all this, exhaustion flooded into his limbs, and he suddenly turned into a little girl. Dong Linhai, who was used to being strong, was simply too uncomfortable.
The bed was very damp, and I didn't know if there would be cockroaches or the like in the quilt. Dong Linhai didn't open it. He leaned against the wall and planned to take a rest.
A small rustling sound rang out.
Lin Hai's just closed eyes suddenly opened, and the sound came from the bottom of the bed.
He clenched the metal piece he had put aside, and retreated vigilantly to a more easily defended place, the sound continued, as if something wanted to come out, but got stuck.
"Who's there?" The girl's immature voice echoed in the dilapidated room, but there was no hint of timidity.
Finally, a hand stretched out from the bottom of the bed, and it was spotted with mottled blood, some of which were still fresh.
Immediately afterwards, more parts crawled out from the bottom of the narrow bed, Dong Linhai's breathing stagnated, and for a moment he could hardly be sure what was in front of him.
It seemed to be a person. His body was twisted into the shape of a chair, the joints of his legs and arms were twisted abnormally to become the four legs of the chair, and his torso was hunched, forming the chair surface and the back of the chair.
Some intricate structures of metal and wood are mounted on him, making him truly feel like a chair.
Is this a... human chair
Linhai has never been baptized by a circus freak show, and when he saw this strange creature, he got goosebumps all over his body and sang the national anthem under the effect of the Uncanny Valley effect, he swallowed hard, and his voice was a little jerky: "… Who are you?"
Speaking of which, it's like turning some parts of your body into equipment in steampunk, but this one looks much more disgusting.
And... this person doesn't want to take the initiative to be made like this, right
"Don't be afraid." The human chair said with difficulty, his vocal cords seemed to be damaged, and the sound was hoarse and unrecognizable - because a chair does not need to speak.
"I used to be the same person as you." The man said, "You escaped from the national teacher, right?"
Dong Linhai actually didn't understand what the plot development was before, but he did escape from somewhere, avoiding the pursuers all the way.
He nodded.
"In order to refine the elixir of life, the national teacher gathered boys and girls and used magic to extract their blood. Although the people whose blood was drawn would not die, they would rapidly age. Those ageing children would soon be useless. I was sent to the secret place and made into various objects." The chair said painfully, "I was once... one of the people who was first used by the national teacher to test sorcery."
Dong Linhai was shocked. Although he saw some strange wooden mechanical products along the way, he thought it was not a documentary background, but he never expected it to be so mysterious.
Talking seems to be a huge burden for the human chair, he gasped for a while, and continued: "If you can't escape, the emperor's dark guard is specially responsible for retrieving the escaped raw materials, no matter where you run, you will be found. ."
Dong Linhai: "Then how can I survive?"
"To live? It's very simple to live, am I still alive soon?" Ren Yi smiled, his face was extremely grim, "If you want to end all this, you can only kill the national teacher or the emperor. Only in this way, to end all misfortune."
The task panel is updated at this moment [challenge task: kill the national teacher]
"There is a secret passage under the bed that connects to the scrap yard at Tianji. I came from there." The limbs of the human chair have been forcibly fixed by wood and metal, which makes him unable to even sit down and rest. , can only maintain this terrifying and twisted posture, he seems to be very tired, and he said these words to Dong Linhai with a sigh of relief:
"Remember, you must... must kill him, otherwise, there will be more people like me who can't live but die... no."
The voice gradually weakened, and the eyes did not close, but they would never blink again.
Dead restless.
In Dong Linhai's opinion, this feeling was even more terrifying than some ghosts and monsters that appeared in front of him. He stood still, and finally stepped forward to melt all the metal on the chair, and disassembled the tenon and mortise that trapped him. .
But his joints have long been set, and even if they are removed, they will never be able to return to the way they were before.
Lin Hai struggled to get out of the bed, but the bed didn't move at all, but fortunately now he is a thin little girl and can crawl in directly from the bottom of the bed.
There was indeed a dark passage inside.
The smell of rancidity became heavier. It came from the "Scrap Yard", and he didn't know how many people were killed in this way. In the darkness, Dong Linhai groped his way forward.
In the challenge box, if he fails to complete the task proposed by the box, he will be punished, so even if he does not consider the commission of the human chair and some human rights, he will kill the national teacher.
it's getting dark.
Xia Qiongyun sneaked in the darkness, and the night and black dark guards completely concealed her perfectly.
After she entered the box, she turned into a man. She was No. 17 in the Dark Guards that the emperor trusted and valued most. Before she could get used to this body that was much stronger than hers, Xia Qiongyun quickly received a message from The emperor's order was also the first challenge the box gave her—
[Pursuit target 0/4]
Four boys and girls escaped from the national teacher. The task of the dark guard team was to capture these four children. Xia Qiongyun tried hard not to think about why these children escaped, and what the national teacher wanted to do with them.
What kind of punishment will the children experience if they take them back
But if you don't finish it, you will be punished by the box.
Except for the people who stayed by the emperor's side to protect him at all times, there were nine people in charge of arresting them. After those children were sent to the hands of the national teacher, the clothes they wore were all smoked with special spices, just to make it easier for them to escape. Find your whereabouts quickly.
Xia Qiongyun took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms and poured some of the liquid in it on the road. The liquid quickly spread in a certain direction in a way that did not conform to the laws of physics. where to flee.
Xia Qiongyun stepped on the palace wall and chased after him.
On the other side, Dong Zheng has been dodging people by hearing. They didn't know where they ran along the palace road. It seems that there were not many people who escaped. More palace people were doing their own things and hurried. on.
The two kept slipping into a relatively quiet courtyard, bypassing the palace maid who was building flower branches. Dong Zheng and Cui Zuojing turned into the side hall where no one seemed to come over for a while, so they could finally rest for a while. .
There should be a concubine living in this other courtyard. Even the side hall has many good things. There is a small table on the couch, and these delicate and small snacks are placed. There is also a small pile of blue grapes in the porcelain plate. It's round and looks delicious.
Cui Zuojing grabbed a handful unceremoniously, took a tentative bite, determined that it was really sweet, and stuffed two more in Dong Zheng's mouth.
As expected of the concubine's food.
The two fake loli sat on the bed with their plates and ate grapes. After a while, they spit out a piece of grape skin. Cui Zuojing saw that Dong Zheng looked really miserable, so he found a comb and dipped him in the dog hole. Messy hair of grass clippings was re-combed.
Dong Zheng doesn't care about this, but since Cui Zuojing is willing, he will not destroy this rare taste.
After taking care of Dong Zheng, Cui Zuojing held the mirror and looked at his current appearance. He couldn't help but sigh again: "Sure enough, no matter what I become, I am so handsome, so beautiful, so cute."
Dong Zheng laughed and said, "Don't you have a younger sister? Does she look like you now?"
"I don't look like her in the first place. She was much uglier than this when she was a child. Fortunately, she grew up slowly. Otherwise, I don't know if I can get married." Cui Zuojing pouted and published a series of The younger sister heard the remarks of her brother who was going to beat someone. Although he and Dong Zheng were the same brother, they had completely different attitudes towards their younger siblings in many aspects.
Da da da…
"Someone is here." Dong Zheng keenly heard an unusual voice, as if someone was running and jumping on the roof.
Cui Zuojing's hearing is not as sensitive as he is to the point of perversion. Without saying a word, he wiped his mouth and grasped the softness he had touched before in the palm of his hand, ready to strike first when someone came over.
The footsteps were getting closer, and now even Cui Zuojing heard it, and soon it stopped, just above his head.
Cui Zuojing quietly retreated to the window step by step. He gave Dong Zheng a look. Dong Zheng pressed his hand lightly on the window and stepped on the low stool, ready to push the window and run away at any time.
Ten seconds passed, one minute passed, three minutes passed.
There was no other movement, Dong Zheng's hands were sore, and the people on the roof seemed to have left without making a single sound.
Cui Zuojing and Dong Zheng exchanged glances, the young man stabilized the frequency of his breathing, but he still did not relax.
None of them heard the voice of the man leaving, and the man must still be there.
The sudden change occurred in the next second.
It seemed that the people inside had relaxed their vigilance, and there was a loud bang with a bang as the roof tiles were broken, and a sturdy man covered in black descended from the sky. and another child who was cut off for her.
Whoosh!
The sound of breaking the air came face to face, Xia Qiongyun raised his hand to block, and the dagger tied to his forearm blocked the pearl earring with a bang. The force of the shock made his arm slightly numb, and the refined dagger was directly smashed out. It's hard to believe that it popped out of a little girl's hand.
This is…
Cui Zuojing? !
The familiar attack method made Xia Qiongyun recognize his teammates at once. When surprised, the two children had already turned over the window and ran away quickly. Xia Qiongyun hesitated. If these two children are teammates, her mission What to do
She didn't catch up immediately, and seemed to sense her hesitation. A sudden stabbing pain burst out from her waist and went all the way down her spine to the back of her head. Xia Qiongyun, who was in electric shock, almost cried out.
