For Chen Xian, who used to be an outside temporary worker, living expenses have always been a big problem, because the number of different cases that can be assigned to him in Ningchuan City is limited, although the remuneration for handling those high-level different cases is not low, but It is undeniable that those salaries are not a perfect guarantee for him. He has always been full of anxiety about his future life. After all, it is not a joke that he can eat hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars a month.
What's more, it costs money to do everything in the alien circle, and you have to buy a batch of commonly used equipment and utensils every now and then, plus the daily necessities at home... Chen Xian has always been anxious, anxious like a middle-aged man with a family burden Although he was the only one in his family at the time, he still felt a lot of pressure.
But the reality is quite satisfying to him, at least he has a lot of cases assigned to him every month, and the remuneration he gets is enough to maintain the most basic life, not to mention the "part-time" jobs that come to him from time to time, in general Counting it, he had a pretty good time in those years.
The part-time jobs he usually takes are from old crooks.
Compared with the dangerous missions of the Bureau of Secrets to eliminate abnormal life, the work given to him by the old liar is much more interesting. Sometimes he will be asked to search for certain things in the mountains near Ningchuan City, and sometimes he will be asked to settle down. A person (or anomalous being) who comes to cause trouble at the grocery store.
The acquaintance between Hu Si and Chen Xian also originated from a part-time task assigned to him by the old liar.
It was the Ghost Festival two years ago.
On the day of the Ghost Festival, aliens will deliberately avoid all activities going to the Yin Market, and abnormal beings will swarm in the Yin Market.
Including those abnormal beings who have no consciousness and don't know what cultivation is.
In the middle of the night, Ningchuanyin City welcomed such an unexpected visitor.
According to Zong. The name of the teaching, it should be called "Five Lives Rose", it is a kind of spirit body species formed by natural mutation.
"Five living roses?"
Following Hu Si into the nightclub, along the way Lu Yisheng and the others were quietly listening to Chen Xian's narration. When they heard the name of that abnormal life, they also seemed a little strange, as if they had never heard of it.
"This kind of abnormal life is too rare. It has never appeared in our internal Taoist records. The only record about the five-life rose is in the "Saha Gathering" archived by Shamanism in 1982."
Chen Xian explained patiently, and the memory of that incident gradually became clearer. After all, that monster was really difficult to deal with. Among the enemies he had fought against, the five-living rose was one of the most difficult abnormal beings.
As the name suggests, the five bodies are the same and belong to the same matrix.
A single body of five roses. The body is very easy to deal with, but in these five bodies. In the body, whenever someone kills one, the remaining body will be divided. The strength will be multiplied by the body, they are like some kind of water pumps that extract the Yin Qi particles, and the Yin Qi particles in a radius of tens of miles will be drawn by them and continuously pour into their bodies.
Since the old liar was not in Ningchuan on the day of the Hungry Ghost Festival but went to the capital to do business, there was only one person who was able to work in Yinshi Town of Ningchuan at that time.
To be precise, it is a rose.
Song. Safety.
Chen Xian had never dealt with it, so he didn't know exactly how strong it was, but judging from the information he heard from the old liars... Song. Ping'an's strength should be stronger than that of ordinary high-level abnormal life forms. If it didn't have this strength, it would not be pushed out by old liars to suppress the market.
Of course, this strength seems not enough for Wu Shenggui.
After eliminating the three bodies of Wu Shenggui in succession, Song. Peace was directly divided by the remaining two bodies. The body suppressed it unilaterally, and in less than half a minute, two-thirds of its entire body was swallowed by the five roses. If Chen Xian hadn't rushed to the scene in time to save it, Song would probably have. Ping An is really cold.
The fighting power of the remaining two bodies of Wu Shenggui was too terrifying. It is no exaggeration to say that in the Yin City at that time, no abnormal life could deal with them. Those abnormal beings in the Yin City were seeing Song. After Ping'an's defeat, they ran out early in a scattered manner. Some of the slow runners were unlucky and got into the belly of Wushenggui.
Waiting for Chen Xian to arrive at the scene, Song will be sent to the scene. When he was rescued safely, North Street had become a deserted battlefield.
"It's not easy to deal with." Chen Xian recalled this, and couldn't help frowning, "After I divided the fourth body and ate it, the last remaining one...is the real five-life rose. "
"How strong is it?" Lu Yisheng asked curiously, "How does it compare to the sacrificial demon on Jiuling Mountain?"
"Seventy to eighty percent of the body sacrificial demon." Chen Xian shook his head, and said, "At that time, my strength was no better than now, and I was beaten by it from the beginning to the end. If it wasn't because of my special physique, it couldn't attach to my body. Maybe I'll have to die at its hands from the start..."
That night, the real battle situation was far more cruel than what Chen Xian said.
The five roses are best at attacking with the body, but they are also good at melee combat. The two bodies made of energy are almost invulnerable, and the bunch of magic weapons sold to Chen Xian by the old liar are also useless.
Ever since he was seriously injured and managed to kill the fourth body, Chen Xian was completely hung up and beaten. During the ensuing battle, Chen Xian was beaten to death seven times by Wu Shenggui, two of which were The brain tissue was directly destroyed, and nearly 90% of the brain tissue was eaten away by the five roses...
The battle lasted for nearly six hours. Chen Xian kept coming back to life and dying. The self-healing cells continued to rotate overnight without resting. Until dawn, Wu Shenggui seemed to be tired of this kind of battle. Endless battle, ready to leave Yinshi, a place of right and wrong...
Just as it let down its vigilance and was about to leave Yinshi, Chen Xian, whose heart had been eaten by it, cheated on the corpse again, seized the opportunity of its distraction, and jumped up and bit it on the head.
"Almost didn't touch it." Chen Xian's memory ended here, his face was full of emotion.
Lu Yisheng looked at Chen Xian with admiration, half flattering his stinky feet and half admiring him from the bottom of his heart: "Boss, you are really awesome, the last body part. The body should be considered a super abnormal life." right?"
"Almost, maybe touched the side." Chen Xian said with a smile.
At this time, Xu Yanan suddenly asked, "What does this have to do with her?"
From the beginning to the end, Xu Yanan and Mu He's attention was not entirely on Chen Xian's memories, they were always staring at the back of Hu Si walking in front.
For some reason, Xu Yanan felt as if he was facing an enemy, as if a friend he had found with great difficulty was being entangled by a bad guy, and Hu Si didn't like it no matter how he looked at it.
As for Muhe...
She had secretly started a plan in her heart, she was thinking about how to get rid of this bad-looking woman behind Chen Xian's back.
"I don't know." Chen Xian shook his head, also full of doubts, "I only met her once afterwards, and she was just thanking me at that time..."
Suddenly, Hu Si who was walking in front turned her head, with a charming smile on her face, but the look in her eyes was much more real than before, and she seemed to be very grateful to Chen Xian.
"Isn't the battlefield between you and Wushenggui outside the store?"
Hearing this, Chen Xian thought for a while, nodded and said, "I remember that the store hadn't opened at that time, it seemed to be a rough house without decoration."
"Actually, when you were fighting Wusheng Rose, I was always in the blank room you mentioned."
As Hu Si spoke, she turned around again and helped everyone push open the door of the nightclub corridor.
"It found me from the very beginning, but before it could kill me, you appeared."
"You have been hiding in the house?" Lu Yisheng looked at her suspiciously, and couldn't help asking, "Didn't everyone else run away? Why didn't you run away?"
"All my savings have been spent in this store. If this store disappears... I don't know what I will do in the future."
Hu Si said without turning her head, her mature and moving voice was full of unspeakable emotions.
It seems to be a kind of helplessness.
"What do you mean?" Lu Yisheng was taken aback.
"Before Brother Chen came, Wushenggui and Song Ping'an had been fighting outside for half a day, and a row of front houses across the street were bulldozed by them..." Hu Si said helplessly, "I'm afraid they will also destroy my shop. It was pushed, so I didn’t want to run away, and kept hiding in the store, preparing to fight it to death, at worst, I would die with this store.”
"Is it so cruel..." Lu Yisheng looked at her in astonishment.
"There's nowhere else to go anyway."
Hu Si shrugged, and led the crowd slowly through the door of the corridor, the charming smile from before reappeared on her charming face.
Lu Yisheng was full of curiosity about this nightclub, so he rushed to the front as soon as he entered the door, like a country bumpkin entering the city for the first time, he opened his eyes and scanned around, and then couldn't hide his face. surprised.
"Fuck?! So many goblins?!"
