Unlike Tang Shi's excitement, Zhou Ze felt a chill down his spine. This was because Zhou Ze had seen the scene of the broken body walking around the research institute and using death to depict art.
That leisurely stroll, that slow pace..,
Was just short of lining up nine coins in front of you and asking you how many ways there were to write the word "Death".
If someone else said, "When I go crazy, even I am afraid of myself" was just a joke..,
Then for the current boss Zhou..,
This was really the most appropriate description.
It was clearly himself..,
But in his heart, he really had an extremely fearful emotion towards that person.
"Actually... you've been neglecting a problem."
Tang Shi said as she slowly walked forward.
"What problem?"
"That's the previous you, it's you..
The current you, it's also you.
Since the current you is you, then the previous you is not you. "
The old priest counted many "You" s at the side. To be honest, he did not understand what Tang Shi meant. At the same time, the old priest began to feel puzzled:
These dead ghosts were indeed different from ordinary people..,
In such a gloomy and terrifying place..,
They were still discussing philosophical issues.
To be honest, the old priest now regretted coming down with them. If he had known earlier, it would have been better to stay up there and let out some fresh air. It was already very dangerous down there, and they still said strange things.
Zhou Ze understood. Tang Shi meant that the scene he saw in his dream was his past self killing people.
Then..,
Eighty years later..,
He had already become Zhou Ze. He had lost a lot of his memories and only remembered that he was Zhou Ze. However, his soul was inherited. This was also the reason why he could also become a zombie.
Because of this..,
It was impossible for him and that broken body to appear in the same era. Even if the other party was here now, it was just a body.
Because the broken figure who had killed here eighty years ago and created the art of death, his soul had already become his current soul.
So..,
Leaving only an empty shell here, the threat was definitely not as great as before.
"Don't you care about your past at all? In any case, I don't feel that you are so eager to know your true identity and your past."
Tang Shi avoided a dried corpse under her feet and asked.
"I only remember that I'm me. I'm Zhou Ze. I think that's pretty good," Zhou Ze replied.
"Heh, your mentality is really good."
"There are quite a few stories in my bookstore. In order to solve the mystery of his life and find the forgotten truth, the protagonist has suffered a lot along the way. But how tiring is that?"
"That makes sense." Tang Shi nodded.
"Actually, the most important thing is that if I find my old self, I'm afraid I won't be the same as I am now. For the current me, I'm almost equivalent to being 'killed'."
The old priest was really confused when he heard this,
Sissy..,
These two must be addicted to talking,
And they were talking so profoundly.
Finally..,
He walked to the door of the laboratory. The door of the laboratory was closed.
"In the end, he made himself run back to the safe?" Tang Shi asked.
"Creak..."
The old priest's voice.
The decayed door slowly opened, emitting an ear-piercing grinding sound that echoed in the research institute. There were even echoes in the distant corners, as if the souls of the dead were still wailing in pain.
"Miss Tang, can we use our hands to open the door now? If you open the door like that, this poor Taoist will feel nervous."
The old priest complained in a low voice.
Tang Shi looked at the old priest and shrugged.
"If I told you that I didn't use my telekinesis just now, would you feel even more nervous?"
"..." the old priest.
The Tang Shi was not in a hurry to walk in. Instead, she looked around again. She had a feeling that something was hiding in the dark, watching her and the others.
"Zhou Ze, we seem to have ignored a fundamental problem. I'm sorry, I haven't dealt with complicated things like you, so I haven't thought of it."
"What?"
"That is, since you're here now, you're Zhou Ze."
"Doesn't that mean that something must have happened to the person who stayed here in the past 80 years?
"Otherwise..,
Where did you come from? "
"Clang!"
Just as the Tang Shi finished speaking..,
A muffled sound came from the laboratory.
The Tang Shi's gaze focused. She could not be bothered to continue discussing the problem with Zhou Ze and directly walked into the laboratory.
The door of the safe had already been closed, and there was dust around it. On the safe, there was a hole the size of a human face.
Below, there was a dried corpse with only white bones left. The head of the white bones was whiter than the rest of the body, as if it had just washed its teeth.
The old priest hid behind Zhou Ze, holding the talisman in his hand, but his eyes kept wandering around the dried corpse. At the same time, he asked Zhou Ze,
"Boss, we can take that skull back. It's like a work of art."
"If you want to take it back, take it back." Zhou Ze did not have much of an opinion on this.
The Tang Shi glanced at Zhou Ze, indicating that she was going to open the safe.
Zhou ze nodded and leaned to the side to be prepared to support him no matter what happened.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak..."
A slight friction sound came from the safe, as if something was pulling at the door to prevent the Tang Shi from opening it with her telekinesis.
The Tang Shi frowned slightly.
She increased her strength.
"Boom!"
There was a loud explosion.
The entire safe flew up.
Yes.
It flew up.
Zhou Ze immediately pushed the old priest away and moved out of the way. Only then did he avoid being hit by the safe.
"Hiss Hiss Hiss Hiss Hiss..."
The door of the safe opened by itself.
Huge rats suddenly jumped out from inside. These rats were as big as kittens. At the same time, their eyes were glowing with a black light. After they came out, they were not afraid of humans. Instead, they gathered in front of them, as if they were ready to attack at any time.
There was a huge hole in the place where the safe used to be. The hole was sunken in, and there was still white smoke coming out of it.
The two pieces of glass on the ground were controlled by the Tang Shi and swept at the rats. The rats were instantly killed and injured. The remaining rats immediately ran back into the cave in fear.
"What happened just now?" Zhou Ze glanced at the pieces of rat corpses on the ground and asked the Tang Shi.
"Something is wrestling with me down there."
The Tang Shi was not in a hurry to go to the cave. Instead, she looked at the surrounding walls.
"Zhou Ze, I don't think the problem now is as simple as solving the body you left behind. There really are other things here."
Just as the Tang Shi finished speaking,
The walls of the laboratory suddenly became hot and began to crack. Tentacle-like things suddenly swept over. There was a whistling sound in the air, carrying an extremely strong force!
The Tang Shi opened her hands, and her psychic power formed an invisible wall, blocking most of the tentacles.
One of them pierced over from another direction. Just as it was about to touch the Tang Shi, Zhou Ze grabbed it and cut it with his fingernails. For a moment, a pool of smelly liquid appeared in Zhou Ze's palm.
It was also at this moment that a rustling sound came from other parts of the research institute, as if countless vines were extending towards this place.
"Pa Pa Pa …"
The nearby glass was also broken, and the vines quickly blocked all the exits and gaps of the laboratory. They did not attack, but began to secrete a thick milky white liquid. This white liquid carried an extremely corrosive smell, and when it landed on the ground, it felt like sulfuric acid had been splashed out.
"Woman, what the hell is this?" The old priest was so scared that his body began to tremble.
It was as if they had walked into the stomach of a man-eating flower, and now they were preparing to digest them.
"It should be a plant affected by this place."
The Tang Shi frowned slightly. "No, it's a monster. I felt that it was a little strange before. There's clearly not a trace of ghost energy here, but I keep feeling that something is staring at me. It's a monster!"
"Ba Ji … Ba Ji …"
The milky white liquid around them began to increase, and gradually began to move closer to Zhou Ze and the others.
"It's trying to drive us into that hole."
Zhou Ze pointed at the place where the rats had gone back to.
"You're very arrogant. We came here, but you didn't take the initiative to come out to see us. Do you want us to take the initiative to pay respects to you?"
The Tang Shi closed her eyes,
Then, she slowly opened them,
In the depths of her eyes, there was a purple light flickering. Her entire body seemed to float. Of course, the distance she floated was not high, only a few centimeters.
Then..,
The wind rose,
For a moment, the white liquid that was surging over from the ground also floated up, flew back in reverse, and all sprinkled on the bodies of the tentacles.
Previously, it was clearly the liquid secreted from the tentacles, but now it also had the same damage to them. In an instant, Zhou Ze's densely packed tentacles began to twist and melt crazily. Then, they began to retreat rapidly. The air was filled with the strong smell of roasted gluten.
The Tang Shi closed her eyes again,
She took a deep breath,
Her body was slightly swaying, but she still forced herself to hold on. Just now, she was already a little exhausted.
"Kacha kacha... Kacha kacha..."
From the bottom of the cave came a clear sound of friction, as if something was moving here.
That thing..,
Was here.
A shadow..,
Slowly rose from the bottom of the cave,
It looked like a human face.
The old priest took out his phone's flashlight and shone it over. His eyes immediately widened.
At the location of the cave..,
What was exposed..,
Was half a human face..,
