Liang Jing's husband, Weng Zichen, is a well-known artist in the city. He is thin and personable, with a strong artistic temperament. He is mainly engaged in sculpture creation.
From the very beginning, they seemed not so suitable. Liang Jing is engaged in biological research, busy with work, spending all day in the laboratory, has a strong and serious personality, and has no interest in art; while Weng Zichen is a bit crazy Temperament, flirtatious by nature, loves to drink heavily, disregards everything when creating, and spends money if he has money. No matter how you look at it, these two people are the most mismatched couple in the world, but they got together because of various chances and coincidences.
After getting married, faced with all kinds of family matters, the personality conflict between the two became more intense, and soon the conflict escalated, leading to infidelity and domestic violence. The husband and wife turned against each other and fought against each other every day. After a fight, seeing that the marriage was irretrievable, they each went to a lawyer to file a divorce lawsuit, but the divorce lawsuit got stuck on the division of property, and neither of them would back down.
After Liang Tian passed away, Liang Jing's emotions collapsed, and she simply stayed in the dormitory of the Institute of Biology, never going home, trying to numb herself with work.
Now, the address given by Liang Jing is the Institute of Biology, and she also said that Weng Zichen is also here.
The point is, why did Weng Zichen turn into a snake? According to Li Yuebai's deduction of the current situation, human beings are at most possessed by dormant bodies and become vampires. How could they become snakes
Li Yuebai and Ye Qing rushed to the research institute as quickly as possible and found Liang Jing's laboratory.
Open the door and go in, only to see snakes everywhere.
The Biological Research Institute is full of experimental animals such as mice, rabbits, and pigeons, and it is as lively as a farm. Liang Jing's laboratory is specialized in the research of anti-venom serum. It not only raises a lot of snakes, but also has a full range of species, such as cobras, five-step snakes, bamboo leaf greens, everything you need, but these snakes are usually kept in glass cabinets, why are they all running out now
It turned out that the glass cabinets were all broken.
Not only the glass cabinet was broken, but all kinds of tools, such as the test bench, swivel chair, computer, glassware, etc., were also thrown and fell. The whole laboratory was in a mess, and there were bright red blood stains on the floor. Like being blown by a hurricane.
Two people stood in the center of the laboratory.
One is Liang Jing. She is wearing a white coat. Her slender and slender body is standing upright, motionless. Blink once, lips parted slightly.
Obviously, this is the expression of entering hallucinations!
Li Yuebai recalled the little girl who was briefly controlled by Countess Karnstein, and Liang Jing's expression was exactly the same now!
Not far from Liang Jing, there was another person standing.
Weng Zichen, a famous artist in this city, has his photo in Li Yuebai’s memory bank. Compared with him, it’s the same person, but the closer he gets, the more he feels wrong—the pattern of scales seems to appear faintly on his exposed arm. , the temperament of the whole person has completely changed, cold and terrifying.
Weng Zichen had a crazy expression on his face, staring straight at Liang Jing—his eyes were no longer human eyes, but like snake eyes, with vertical pupils.
Li Yuebai finally understood what Liang Jing meant by "my husband has turned into a snake".
"Hahahahaha..." Weng Zichen suddenly laughed wildly, showing his sharp teeth, and a tongue that seemed to be forked, stretched out his scaly fingers to Liang Jing, and shouted in an unclear and cold voice: "Liang Jing, you vicious woman, I've been tired of you for a long time, now, I finally found a chance to take revenge!"
"Who are you?" Li Yuebai drew out his knife and placed it in front of him, carefully avoiding the poisonous snakes running around on the ground, and walked towards Weng Zichen step by step, while asking about the identity of the vampire.
"Lilith." Weng Zichen replied in a strange voice, "I am Lilith, the snake demon."
Lilith
Li Yuebai recalled the introduction he saw in that "Blood Charm Test".
After all, it is a book from the Ming Dynasty, and the translation of the name is different from the current one. In "Blood Phantom", there is a kind of vampire named "Snake Girl Li Lisi", which should be the right one. She is half human and half snake, and she is sucking blood. There is no particular preference in terms of vampires, but the ability to create illusions is stronger than other types of vampires.
In myths and legends, Lilith is also quite famous. She is rumored to be an evil god, a goddess, a demon, and Adam's first wife... She played various roles in various races, so that the information was confused, and no one Can tell exactly what she is.
There was a click, the sound of a bullet being loaded, and the gun in Ye Qing's hand was aimed at Weng Zichen.
"Want to shoot? Hahahahaha, how dare you?" Weng Zichen laughed presumptuously again, and made a hissing voice: "Didn't you see that this woman has fallen into the illusion I created? If I die , she will also be affected and become insane, and even die with me!"
Li Yuebai had to admit that there was indeed such a possibility.
He just didn't understand, what purpose did Weng Zichen have? Didn't he hate his wife? Why didn't he kill her directly, but pulled her into the illusion
"Why?" Li Yuebai put the knife back into its sheath calmly: "Lilith, or Weng Zichen, what is your purpose?"
"Purpose? Hmph, I just want Liang Jing to bow her head to me and admit her mistake!" Weng Zichen's voice changed a little, emotionally: "She has never respected me, never respected my art!"
Li Yuebai's mind went into chaos with a buzz.
Although he teaches Chinese, he has never been sentimental and sentimental as a literati should. He has always been a super idiot when it comes to relationship issues.
The two vampires he met before had a clear purpose, so he could see through them.
But this time, it's too sentimental! Possessed and turned into a half-human, half-snake vampire with powerful abilities, what she wanted to do was to make his wife apologize? Isn't the relationship broken, domestic violence and divorce? Wouldn't it be better to see people and ghosts in different ways
There are also many kinds of artists, some are rational and practical, and some are emotional. Weng Zichen is just the latter, and because of his obsession with art, this kind of emotionalism is intensified.
"I... God, what should I do!" There was a trace of anxiety in Liang Jing's dull eyes, as if the illusion in front of her made her unable to solve it.
"I was in an illusion, and I asked her a question." Weng Zichen sneered, "As long as she answers correctly, I will let her go."
Judging by Liang Jing's appearance, she couldn't answer at all.
Li Yuebai probably understood the meaning.
He had watched an anime before crossing, and there was a scene in which the gods used illusions to test the hero, let the hero hold a gun in the illusion, and three of his closest people appeared in front of him, choose two of them kill...
Few people can pass such an illusion test.
I don't know what kind of illusion test Liang Jing is facing
Whatever it was, she was clearly desperate.
"System, come out." Li Yuebai called the system.
"Hello host, may I help you?" The system's voice sounded fake.
"Let me also enter the illusion." Li Yuebai said concisely.
Weng Zichen's sentimental, when Li Yuebai brought an excellent opportunity - don't need to go to war, just find ways to help Liang Jing solve the problem in the illusion, half the success.
"Okay, I will arrange it for you right away, please take a few steps forward." The system readily agreed this time.
In fact, as long as you are close enough to Weng Zichen, you can be pulled into the illusion he set up. What the system can do is to isolate Weng Zichen's perception of Li Yuebai's actions, making him mistakenly think that Liang Jing is the only one who can solve the problem independently in the illusion. question.
Li Yuebai made a reassuring gesture to Ye Qing, and took a few steps forward.
Soon, like Liang Jing, he also fell into a hallucination, surrounded by a vast expanse of whiteness, and after a while, the white mist cleared, and the surroundings showed the appearance of an exhibition hall.
The white walls, the white ceiling, and the golden sunlight coming in from the windows all seemed so real. The only thing that could remind him that this was an illusion was only one thing—the ground was still covered with poisonous snakes, exactly the same as in the laboratory.
Maybe Weng Zichen didn't even have time to transform the ground
Thinking this way, Li Yuebai walked towards Liang Jing who was at a loss in the middle of the exhibition room.
"Sister Liang, how are you doing now?" Li Yuebai walked up to her and greeted her softly.
Liang Jing was taken aback, and when she came back to her senses and saw that it was him, she felt relieved, sighed and said, "What should I do, why did Weng Zichen bring me to this ghostly place? Isn't it obvious that I should be in the laboratory?" What is it? Where is this?"
"This is an illusion created by him." Li Yuebai explained.
"Illusion? I study science, I can't believe this mess." Liang Jing said in disbelief
"Your husband has become like this, isn't it very scientific?" Li Yuebai sighed. In fact, he is also a materialist, but since time travel, he has to believe in the existence of various non-scientific things.
"He... I don't know what's wrong with him." Liang Jing's tone was full of undecided fear: "First he came to the laboratory to argue with me, and then he became like this..."
"The reason for the change, I will tell you later." Li Yuebai said: "The first problem now is to get out of this illusion."
"How can I get out?" Liang Jing looked around anxiously: "There is no door here."
"You have to solve the problem Weng Zichen gave you." Li Yuebai said seriously.
"The question? I don't even know where the question is!" Liang Jing almost collapsed.
"Wait, I just came here, so I have to take a good look." Li Yuebai looked around - the exhibition room is not big, and there are a few sculptures in it, but there is nothing else.
The sculptures are all made of white plaster, which looks very weird.
"Do these sculptures have any special significance in your married life?" Li Yuebai asked.
"I'm not interested in sculpture, so I can't remember much." Liang Jing replied, "Weng Zichen is an art lunatic, and he regards sculpture as his life... That's right! I remembered!"
"What?"
"When we quarreled before, I smashed several of his sculptures!" Liang Jing said anxiously: "It's this kind of plaster sculpture, I guess, he may still be resentful about it..."
