HPDBC #259 - The Evil One
#259 - The Evil One
Liang Jin quickly returned to the dilapidated temple with the unconscious little girl.
He had changed into clean clothes and had also put a set on the little girl.
Inside the dilapidated temple.
Lei Zhen was still asleep.
And Xiao Liu had already returned.
He saw Liang Jin and hurriedly apologized:
"I'm sorry, Hero Song, I'm incompetent."
"The villages nearby are all empty, and I couldn't find a single grain of food."
Xiao Liu was quite familiar with this area, but who would have thought that after half a year, when he returned here, earth-shattering changes had taken place.
Now, there wasn't even a single person to be seen in the villages.
Without thinking, one would know that the people here had fled from the famine.
Liang Jin replied:
"It's okay, I've already found something to eat."
As he spoke, he took out ropes and tied the little girl up securely.
Xiao Liu glanced at the little girl in Liang Jin's hand, and couldn't help but reveal fear and embarrassment on his face:
"Hero Song, how about... I go out and look again."
"This time I guarantee, I can definitely find something to eat!"
"We haven't gotten to the point of... eating children, right?"
He glanced at the little girl again, and only felt a wave of nausea and disgust.
Xiao Liu knew that the famine here was very serious, and he had also heard of the tragedy of exchanging children for food.
But if he were to eat people, he still couldn't bring himself to do it.
Liang Jin was slightly stunned at first, and then realized:
"What I said about eating, it's not her."
As he said that, Liang Jin took out a few steamed buns from his bosom and threw them to Xiao Liu, then took out two sets of clothes and threw them to him.
"After you eat, change out of your and Lei Zhen's prison uniforms."
Liang Jin said.
Only then did Xiao Liu breathe a sigh of relief, and he took the steamed buns and hurriedly devoured them.
He was also very hungry.
After Xiao Liu ate two steamed buns, he soaked the remaining two steamed buns in water to make a paste, and then began to feed it to the unconscious Lei Zhen.
After feeding Lei Zhen, he began to change Lei Zhen's clothes.
Liang Jin didn't have any objections to Xiao Liu following him.
Liang Jin didn't have the time to do this kind of caretaking, but this Xiao Liu was very observant and diligent.
These chores were just right for him to do.
As for Liang Jin himself, he entered the [Nine Empty Realms] again to continue his research.
After entering the Nine Empty Realms, Liang Jin saw a person.
He didn't have a single exchange with this person.
Because they were of one mind.
That's right.
This person was Liang Jin's main body.
But now it seemed that the main body and the clone shared the same [Nine Empty Realms].
This was also the first time Liang Jin's main body and clone had met.
This feeling was very strange.
And the two of them in this [Nine Empty Realms] also had the same authority, both being the masters here.
"It seems that we have to divide this world into two parts."
"Leaving some interconnected channels will be better."
"Next, we will start here – creation!"
Liang Jin already had the idea of turning the [Nine Empty Realms] into a place similar to a game world, attracting many martial artists to come and challenge the levels, so as to bring more benefits to Liang Jin.
Immediately, in the minds of the two, the [Nine Empty Realms] began to change.
Like the yin and yang fish of Tai Chi.
One side occupied half of the world, but they were tightly intertwined with each other.
Liang Jin's clone was building his own world.
"What I want to build is a world similar to a 'tower' or a 'dungeon'."
"Limit the space here, and let them go to the set levels through paths, and pass through the levels step by step, or fight each other."
"And here also needs a boss, I can act as one of the bosses, and the war puppet Wild Walker in the item bar can also act as a small boss here."
"As for the rewards, let's use the pills and gold and silver jewelry in the item bar."
Liang Jin's heart moved, and his half of the world was changing frantically.
Buildings, passages, walls... were rapidly produced in this world under his thoughts.
The feeling of constructing a world was very wonderful, and Liang Jin was immersed in it.
I don't know how long it took, but a general map had been constructed by Liang Jin.
This map felt very real.
I'm afraid that many people, when they first arrive here, would only think that they have come to a real world.
Next, it will wait for its challengers to arrive.
Subsequently.
Liang Jin withdrew from the [Nine Empty Realms].
His spirit continued to return to the body in the dilapidated temple.
Here, everything was as before.
"Why do I suddenly feel a little tired?"
At this moment, Liang Jin actually felt that his spirit had a feeling of fatigue and weakness.
"Could it be because, as long as someone is fighting in it, the martial spirit generated can constantly nourish my spirit and prevent me from being tired."
"And once only I am busy in it, the consumption of mental power will be very large?"
Liang Jin felt that there was this possibility.
It seems that I still have to find someone to go in and fight.
And Liang Jin himself cannot fight the clone and the main body, the two have the same martial arts, the same realm, and even the same ideas, so there is no way to fight.
Although Liang Jin had heard that some people can play chess with themselves, he at least couldn't do that.
But he just wanted to rest well now and verify it when he had time.
Immediately, Liang Jin lay down in the dilapidated temple to recuperate.
When Xiao Liu saw that Liang Jin was asleep, he very wisely got up and went outside the dilapidated temple to stand guard.
Time slowly passed.
It was already midnight.
Suddenly.
Liang Jin, who was sleeping, opened his eyes.
He had already sensed that someone was coming nearby.
At the same time.
A new message also popped up on the system interface:
[Detected that there are extremely evil people near the host.]
[Do you want to bring them into the Nine Empty Realms?]
[Yes / No]
On the radar interface, several light spots appeared nearby.
This made Liang Jin slightly surprised:
"So many?"
He originally thought that these Extremely Evil people were few in number and difficult to encounter.
Like Lei Zhen, who was loyal, and the little girl, who was cruel, should be in the minority.
But I didn't expect that there would be five Extremely Evil people nearby at once.
And looking at the direction of movement of these light spots, they were approaching Liang Jin's location.
At this time.
Xiao Liu, who was originally on guard outside, hurriedly ran into the dilapidated temple:
"Hero Song, there are several people in the distance."
"They are walking towards here, I'm afraid they are not friendly."
Liang Jin sat up and smiled slightly:
"It doesn't matter, visitors are guests."
"Welcome them in."
When Xiao Liu saw that Liang Jin was so calm, he felt relieved.
He took the initiative to come and stand behind Liang Jin, and in the posture of a servant, handed over the identity of the owner of this place to Liang Jin.
Soon.
With a burst of footsteps, a group of people walked in.
There were six people in this group.
Five men and one woman.
The five men all had weapons in their hands, and they were all martial artists.
The woman was crying, full of fear for the men around her, seemingly being coerced.
"Tiger, there are people here!"
The newest novels are first released on 69shu.com!
As this group of people entered, someone shouted loudly.
When they saw Liang Jin and the others, besides being surprised, their eyes also gleamed with greed.
These people stood there holding knives, their gazes sweeping over Liang Jin and the others.
A burly man pushed through the crowd and stood out.
He seemed to be the Tiger Lord that everyone was talking about, also the leader of the group.
He was burly, with a fierce face. His chin was covered with uneven stubble, which complemented his ferocious face.
His eyes were deep-set in their sockets, his gaze as cold as the ice blades of winter, occasionally flashing with cunning, as if he could see through the fears and secrets in people's hearts.
When he looked at Liang Jin and the others, his eyes also filled with greed.
But the next second, when he saw Liang Jin clearly, he looked surprised:
"May I ask, are you… the Green Forest hero who robbed the government's grain, Nameless?"
His voice was low and hoarse, with an unspeakable sense of oppression, as if it could instill fear in people.
Liang Jin said lightly:
"Do you know us?"
The fierce man carefully looked at the two and the others, and then seemed to recognize them:
"The one lying there should be Lei Zhen, known as 'Iron Fist' in the Green Forest!"
"The one behind you should be Xiao Liu, known as 'Blood Sword Lone Wolf.'"
"It seems it really is you!"
"Now the officials outside are spreading your portraits everywhere. By the way, where are the other heroes?"
The fierce man asked, while looking around the dilapidated temple, as if trying to see where the others were hiding.
The other men behind him couldn't help but put away the greed in their eyes and became much more low-key when they heard this.
People who dared to rob government grain were all desperate outlaws with their heads hanging on their belts, not to be trifled with.
Xiao Liu said in a deep voice:
"Who exactly are you people?"
The fierce man at the head laughed loudly upon hearing this:
"Heroes, we are all the same kind of people!"
"I am Li Hu, and these brothers beside me are all my brothers. We also travel the Green Forest path, specializing in opposing the government!"
The men behind the man who called himself Li Hu also greeted Liang Jin and Xiao Liu.
Liang Jin smiled slightly and pointed to the ground:
"Guests from afar, we are destined to meet again. Why not sit down and have something to eat?"
Li Hu heard this and saw the little girl who was tied up with ropes and unconscious on the ground.
He smiled:
"No need, no need, we brought our own food."
"Two heroes, would you like to eat something with us?"
Liang Jin looked at the men behind Li Hu.
Their hands were trembling slightly from time to time.
Their martial artist realm was low, and it was difficult to eliminate this sequelae.
Only Li Hu, who was at the sixth-rank realm, could eliminate this sequelae with his strong body.
This seemed to make Liang Jin understand.
Utterly evil people…
These guys really deserve to be called utterly evil people.
The little girl was lost in humanity and degenerated into a beast, so she couldn't be regarded as an utterly evil person, but only an utterly fierce person.
But these guys in front of them clearly knew what they were doing, but they didn't have any remorse or revulsion, but instead looked used to it.
Such people are indeed more in line with the conditions of utterly evil people.
No wonder so many utterly evil people appeared all at once.
In Chang Prefecture, where the drought and famine are severe, I am afraid that there are not a few such utterly evil people.
Li Hu was already greeting his men at this time:
"Brothers, set up the fire and prepare the seasoning."
"Today, we will invite these heroes to taste our craftsmanship!"
Upon hearing this, a group of men immediately searched for firewood in the dilapidated temple.
Li Hu smiled at Liang Jin:
"Heroes, don't worry, our fire will not attract the attention of the government."
"We have already found out clearly when we came that the government's fools have chased in the direction of Dianzi Ping. They still think you have run there."
"Who would have thought that a few heroes would unexpectedly hide here, it's really a brilliant trick of hiding in plain sight!"
Li Hu smiled as he looked at the sleeping Lei Zhen.
He deliberately spoke very loudly, as if trying to see if he would wake Lei Zhen up.
Li Hu also keenly noticed that Lei Zhen's condition was a bit wrong.
As for Liang Jin and Xiao Liu, Li Hu didn't care about them at all.
After all, the martial artist aura that these two showed was only at the ninth-rank level.
Two ninth-ranks are like two sheep in front of him!
Soon.
This group of men had already lit a bonfire.
Li Hu sat by the fire and tentatively asked:
"Why do I think Hero Lei's condition is not very good? What's wrong?"
Liang Jin smiled without saying a word.
Xiao Liu said in a deep voice:
"Brother Lei is just temporarily sick, just resting for a while."
Xiao Liu also often traveled the Jianghu, and he also noticed that the Li Hu in front of him seemed to be plotting something wrong.
When Li Hu heard this, a look of shock appeared on his face.
It's just that this look seemed a bit too exaggerated, and he couldn't even pretend well.
"Oh dear! How can Hero Lei be sick?"
"Let me take a look! I'm worried about him, don't get a fever."
As Li Hu said, he suddenly stretched out his hand and touched Lei Zhen's face.
Xiao Liu wanted to stop him but it was already too late.
Li Hu's hand had already pressed heavily on Lei Zhen's face.
Even because he used too much force, it looked as if Li Hu had slapped Lei Zhen's cheek.
"Pa!"
A crisp slap sounded.
At this moment, Li Hu was on guard, and his other hand couldn't help but reach for the handle of the knife on his back.
The name of "Iron Fist" Lei Zhen resounded throughout the Green Forest, and everyone knew that he was a fifth-rank master!
Li Hu didn't dare to be careless about such a master.
However.
Even after Li Hu slapped him, Lei Zhen was still closing his eyes and not waking up.
This time, Li Hu breathed a long sigh of relief.
Lei Zhen, as expected, was not resting, but was unconscious!
The men who followed Li Hu couldn't help but exchange glances with each other, and the greed that had been silent in their eyes reappeared.
"What are you doing?!"
Xiao Liu questioned sharply.
Li Hu laughed:
"I'm really sorry, I just wanted to see if Hero Lei had a fever."
"But accidentally, my hand pressed a little too hard."
"It seems that this Hero Lei is seriously ill, and he is actually unconscious like this, tsk tsk, what a pity."
He said apologies in his mouth, but there was no hint of apology in his tone.
As long as the strongest Lei Zhen is really unconscious.
Then Li Hu can really be unscrupulous!
Sorry, book friends, I have been delayed by something these past two days, which has led to only three chapters being updated every day these past two days, and the quality has also declined. Crab guarantees that the updates and quality will be restored soon, thank you for your support!
