By the time Nie Zun and I washed up in the dormitory in the school building arranged by Hangs, more than ten hours had passed at night.
Hang S asked us to clean up and gather on a stone platform at the entrance of the school building.
When Nie Zun and Jiepa and I arrived, the muscular man Tao Lie and the bandaged man Muli had already reported the situation to the hangman at the stone platform.
"Long time no see, bandage man." I always knew that Muli didn't like me, but I still thought it was interesting that he was wrapped in bandages, so I walked up to him and casually pulled a wrapped bandage on his head. Not a tight bandage.
The man in the bandage gave me a stern look that made me laugh, but he didn't say anything.
Hang S took a look at Muli, and then said: "I asked, the reason why Muli has that smell is because he was bitten by that poisonous insect."
"What?"
There was some embarrassment in Muli's eyes, but he turned his eyes to signal him, so he had no choice but to slowly remove the bandage on one hand.
As the bandage on his left arm was gradually removed, I was shocked.
His arms are densely covered with white wriggling things, exactly the same as the white worms like silkworm chrysalis I saw behind the man who fell from the building! But what is different from last time is that these things did not bite the flesh on Muli's arm, but seemed to be embedded in his arm, densely embedded in the flesh, motionless, and the whole arm seemed to be Like a prosthetic arm studded with white pebbles!
For me, who suffers from trypophobia, this picture is so beautiful that I dare not look at it.
"Ouch... ..!!!" I turned around and supported Nie Zun, spouting mouthfuls of acidic water.
"No, I'm sorry, little bandage, I don't mean to dislike you, it's just that my trypophobia is a bit serious." Panting, I supported Nie Zun and said to him with a guilty face.
Muli, who has always been very hot-tempered, turned out to be very calm this time: "It's okay, I feel a little disgusted when I look at it, let alone you."
Immediately, my sympathy flooded: "How did this happen?"
Mu Li's eyes darkened for a moment: "It was a long time ago, and part of the reason is that I have been wearing bandages. I went to the West District once half a year ago. In the border forest, I met a masked man who attacked me for no reason. I didn't feel anything at the time, but I was attacked by him on this arm. Later, when I returned to the East District, this strange thing began to grow on this arm, but I looked disgusting, but I have never seen him. If it hurts me, it doesn't seem to be a living thing, so I haven't paid much attention to it."
Jiepa pushed his glasses: "If you don't mind, Mr. Muli, can I go back and study one of these worms."
Hang S opened his mouth: "Muli, Jiepa is a well-known healer and informant, you can leave this matter to him. Besides, Shen, I believe that Muli is loyal to me."
Since seeing the skein also showed my attitude, I signaled Japa to do it.
Jappa took out a pocket knife and a glass bottle from his backpack.
When Jiepa was gouging out, Muli didn't even frown. He looked at me and said, "I'm sorry for misunderstanding you before, but I hope you can understand. I can't let go of any possibility of harming our East District. I Absolutely loyal to the District Master!"
His blood boiled as he spoke, his eyes widened, like a big glass ball embedded in a bandaged mummy.
I nodded again and again: "I know, I know, don't get excited."
The muscular man Tao Lie stood up with a majestic figure wearing sunglasses: "Miss Li Shen, our district master has already told us the general situation. During your absence, our people also have a border between the east and west districts." The forest guard may want to tell you some unlucky news. According to reports from my subordinates, hundreds of people died inexplicably in the West District not long ago, and it seems that there are 7 people with the same level as the floor master. And you The former Snake Girl's subordinates seemed to say that you abandoned the residents of the West District and launched a rebellion, and the leader, Blonde, never showed up in the process, so now the people in the West District are complaining, and it is very uneasy."
In fact, I have already prepared in my heart for the possible situation in the West District, but I still can't believe it when I hear such a situation.
Tao Lie continued: "Because you and our district master went to the southern district, and not everyone in the southern district can enter it, so you may not be very clear about many things during this period, because there were also casualties in our district, but okay In the S tribe, there are distinct levels and order, so we have been suppressing this weird death incident, and have been waiting for the district master to come back to solve it, but your district is not so lucky, because the dragons have no leader, and the snake girl is your favorite all the time. Dear friend, she also betrayed you, so the situation is very chaotic, and I hope you will be mentally prepared before going back."
Although I knew he wasn't mocking me, I still deeply felt my incompetence all along. As a result, the West District seemed to have no real protection except for the old order maintained by Li Qing and You Ji.
Deep guilt and self-blame poured into my heart. Although I was not a person who cared very much about the life and death of others before, it was impossible to say that I was not sad or that I didn't care.
Hang S probably sensed my emotions, she signaled Tao Lie to stop talking for now, and then tried to comfort me: "It's okay, although I just had a general understanding of the situation in the West District, it doesn't sound very optimistic, but fortunately, I am here There is still the strength I have been condensing in the past few years, I will help you when necessary, you don’t have to worry too much, the residents of the West District just don’t have a backbone, as long as you can go back, things will always be resolved.”
I nodded sadly.
Jappa suddenly exclaimed: "This thing..."
Following the sound, we saw that Jiepa had already dug out the white soft-bodied silkworm chrysalis and put it into a glass bottle. When we looked closely, there were two small holes in the thing, which looked like eyes. generally.
And the depression on Muli's arm that lost the worm did not have any blood, but something like white pulp, sticky, as if it was the blood flowing in the blood vessels on his arm. It's like this white viscous liquid.
Jiepa looked solemn: "Mr. Muli, I hope we can keep in touch on the phone. Regarding every new change in your arm, I hope you can communicate with me in detail. I don't feel very good about this thing at first. You According to you, this thing does not grow fast, only one in a few days, but now it has covered this arm, although you can't feel any side effects, but I suspect that the damage itself may be beyond your imagination .”
Mu Li nodded: "I see, I will definitely keep in touch with you at any time, please."
Jappa smiled gently: "It's nothing."
"By the way, how did the more than one hundred people who died in your area die?" I asked Hang S.
Hang S sighed: "They all died with their hearts dug out, probably with the power of that kind of blood, otherwise how could they die, the hearts all disappeared."
Nie Zun frowned: "However, according to the situation during this period of time, the only ones with that kind of blood power are Truffle and Li Kiss. Could it be that Li Kiss did it?"
Hang S shook his head: "I can't be sure, although I hate her very much, and the people in the southern district were killed by her, but I can't say that the situation here is what she did. According to her words, I feel that the people who died in our two districts may be a warning to Li Shen and me from the planning team behind this conspiracy, probably wanting us to leave the southern district."
I agree; "Yes, this is just a warning, otherwise, they are in the dark, and they are much stronger than us. If they really want to attack us, I am afraid it will never end so easily."
Hang S turned his neck and stared at me: "So, before their plot succeeds and before the next darkness comes, you and I must be prepared to find out these things. When you return to the West District this time, I will send People go back with you, you and I need to form a force, otherwise we will always be ants in the palm of others."
I raised my eyes and looked far away in the direction of the west district, but from such a distance, I couldn't see my west district.
"I need to reorganize my s tribe. You go back and settle down in the west area, and let's go to the south area together." Hang S continued.
Jiepa also responded: "It just so happens that when I go back this time, I will provide Miss Ah Shen with some of the strength I have accumulated."
I turned around and looked at the eyes of several people who trusted me very much.
Hang S, you also said that you don't know why Liqing and Blonde chose me to be the district lord of the West District, so now you support me so much because you know why
If you know, then can you tell me, because I still don't know, why they trust me so much and choose me.
As you can see, I really am nothing, I can’t do anything well.
Hang S seemed to understand my gaze, her dull eyes looked at me quietly, a faint smile floated on her stiff face, she didn't look so weird in this night.
She said: "Jiepa, you don't need to keep in touch with Muli, because I will let Muli and Tao Lie accompany you back to the West District. Don't underestimate them, they will protect you."
The muscular man Tao Lie always seems to be obedient to the gallows. Although he is tall and tall, he always looks like a reliable mountain with some majesty, but in front of the gauntlet, he always seems to be a loyal servant , without any overstepping.
Mu Li was a little embarrassed: "But the East District..."
Hang S waved his hand, indicating that it's okay: "I will let Feng, Huo, and Lei stay with me for a while, and you don't need to worry about me."
Tao Lie also looked at him calmly and said, "That's right, there are still those three adults. You and I can rest assured. What's more, Guan Nie is back this time."
Three adults? Wind, fire, thunder
Is it the three people wearing bamboo hats who have been inseparable from each other
What an all-powerful name...
Nie Zun smiled lightly and said, "Anyway, thank you all the time."
Hang S smiled: "It's an honor to have Nie Zun open his mouth to say thank you to me. You can rest here tonight and leave at dawn tomorrow."
I looked up at the dark night sky, feeling mixed emotions in my heart, West District, I'm back. It's only been less than a month, but can I still live as comfortably as before in the West District, which I always thought was stable and peaceful
