105. This old man is not simple
When he was about to get off work, Zhou Chu suddenly received a text message with an unfamiliar number.
[I am Qin Qing’s good friend Ye Xin. If I have time, I want to talk to you.]
Zhou Chu looked at the text message, countless possibilities flashed through his mind, and finally replied with a message.
【Just make an appointment】
The other party quickly replied [The night after tomorrow?]
【Call me then】
Ye Xin... Zhou Chu had no memory of this girl in his impression, but his circle and Qin Qing's circle did rarely intersect, so I just heard her say that there was a good friend named Ye Xin.
But Zhou Chu didn't dare to think about what was going on, nor did he want to think about it.
And according to the time in the nightmare world, what's inside is really imminent.
When Zhou Chu returned to the Nightmare World again, he found that Fangzi, Bailang, and the ancient name were waiting in the church hall.
"We need to talk openly and honestly," said Fangzi, his voice soft, but not questionable, "about the said powerful team of Awakeners."
Zhou Chu nodded, so he didn't go out, but walked to the corner and sat down, waiting for everyone to arrive.
The last one who came late was Mariana. Seeing everyone waiting there, she knew what to do, so she just snorted and found a seat to sit down. Although no one knew what her hum was actually indicating.
"It's all here." Fangzi stood up, looked around, and then continued. "I discussed with Bailang that no matter whether the sudden awakened person said true or false, we need to make some preparations to deal with it."
"What to deal with?" Mariana said the strange words that ruined the atmosphere again, "It's not just what you decide to do."
"That's right." Bailang glanced at Mariana. "But before doing it, I need to confirm with you other things, such as your respective abilities."
"Well, that's about it. If the intruder's information is true, it is very likely that after the restrictions have been completely lifted in the past few days, the team of Awakening Squad will appear in this area. Of course, we will communicate with the other party in advance, but we must also prepare for unreasonable and sudden attacks on the other party, so it is indeed necessary to understand the fighting styles that everyone is good at and their own abilities."
Fangzi added after Bai Lang finished speaking. Then she looked at everyone with a smile: "So, who will come first?"
I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but Bai Lang’s words and tone feels tougher and unquestionable than before, and it’s hard to describe such a feeling. But if the Bai Lang gave Zhou Chu the feeling before, he gave Zhou Chu a feminine and silent, then the tone and personality of Bai Lang’s speech today is abnormally tough.
Why? Yanlang? Or why? Zhou Chu asked a question mark in his heart and continued to wait for the response and reaction of others.
There is a brief silence. Because if it is just everyone's way of fighting, it's okay. But even if everyone's ability has to be said, it will make people hesitate. After all, this is just a temporary team, not a team with a permanent soul contract and a guide. Everyone is unwilling to show their trump card when facing others, because once the trump card is revealed, it means that the other party knows everything about you.
So even if this way of showing the trump card is a way of exchange, it still makes people worry and have to be cautious.
Zhou Chu lowered his head and waited for the others to speak, but the first sound surprised him. It was not Fangzi who set an example, nor did he avoid the white wolf who had to stand out by himself. The sound was a sound of old age and coughing.
"Well, I haven't been able to exert any effort. This time I'll let me start first, ah cough."
Zhou Chu raised his head and saw Gu Ming coughing while raising his hands.
However, Gu Ming always appears as a good old man and a kind old man. At this time, it seems normal for him to break such a deadlock and atmosphere. So after saying such words, everyone's eyes were focused on him.
"Everyone knows... ah, an old man like me is not good at body, his bones are hard, and he breaks when he touches it... So I'm not good at close combat, ah... "
Gu Ming said this first, but there was a unique smile that was only a kind old man on his face. After coughing desperately for a while, he continued to say.
"But if you really encounter any enemy, you can still protect yourself. Although you are sick, you won't be dragged back by others... Cough cough..."
"Damn old man, please say something quickly, don't talk about so many things." Mariana shouted in a very high tone and voice, and Tang Long also had some impatient expressions, only Fangzi, Bailang, and Zhou Chu, who were still maintaining a calm expression.
"Okay, okay, the young people nowadays... are just impatient..." Gu Ming still smiled humbly, and the dead hand with unique old-fashioned spots raised it up and placed it on the back of the wooden chair beside it.
"My ability to protect myself is... poison... cough cough."
Halfway through his words, Gu Ming coughed again, but this time no one scolded him, because everyone's eyes and attention were focused on Gu Ming's hand pressed on the back of the chair.
There seemed to be dark green liquid or something, which was transmitted and soaked through the ancient name's hand to the position of the chair back pressed by his palm. Then the chair back was silent, as if it was eroded by something, and slowly corroded. Although there was no sound, the sizzling feeling seemed to ring in everyone's heart.
"My ability... cough cough... is to use toxins... cough cough, I'm not talented, I'm just this shallow ability to defend myself, haha."
Gu Ming took his hand back and looked at everyone with a smile. A large piece of his hand had disappeared. The gap or even the location outside the gap could no longer be seen clearly. The original color of the wood in the table was blue, just like venom was still there.
When Gu Ming raised his head and looked at everyone with a smile, a sense of danger arose in everyone's hearts. Mariana, who had been ruthlessly scolding and scolding Gu Ming, subconsciously took a step back, and the whip made an empty sound in the air.
"Old guy! I can warn you, don't think about anything!"
Gu Ming smiled again and waved his hand: "Oh, Oh, Oh, I didn't say what I want to do, but Fangzi said it? At this time, everyone must be united and open-minded. Only then did I express my ability to protect myself. Mariana, you are too worried... Cough, just my body... It's not an easy thing to deal with me... Cough, it's not a matter of "Cough..."
Mariana just snorted coldly and sat down, but the seat was farther from the original position.
The moment the ancient name showed and expressed his abilities, countless thoughts and questions flashed through Zhou Chu's mind.
He was not worried about what the ancient name would do to him. First, because he was basically alone and rarely talked to the ancient name, let alone him. Second, because his body has been transformed and strengthened by the original, he has a very high reaction and repulsion towards toxins and other things, so if there is anything unusual in his body, he will definitely notice it immediately.
He always appeared in front of everyone in a kind and sick manner. He only agreed with the team's opinions, and he always smoothed out the situation when quarreling. He never made any big moves, and always gave people the feeling that he seemed as weak as Zhou Chu. However, at this time, he showed that this ability that might not be powerful enough, but terrifying enough was shown.
If it is straightforward, or even the most powerful ability, it will not make everyone feel so vigilant and dangerous. But it is a toxin that is unpreventable. In the description of the ancient name, it does not reveal how many toxins it can use, is it a toxin that will only take effect immediately, or is it a chronic poison that will kill people silently, is it an animal toxin? A phytoxin, a biochemical toxin, a bacterial toxin? Or a chemical toxin?
None of them said.
He also did not say how his toxin ability was used, whether it was necessary to contact objects and human bodies to use it, or that it could be used within a certain range and distance.
What if it is a silent chronic neurotoxin that can be used to use a long-distance disposal that makes people poison but will not take effect immediately?
Zhou Chu glanced at Mariana quickly and continued to lower his head to think.
This move was really beautiful! Zhou Chu looked at the sickly and kind-hearted old man, which was considered a shocking shock? He first showed his weakness, but at the most critical moment he showed his terrifying side and had some reservations, so that even if he knew his abilities, he did not know the degree and specific details of his ability.
As Gao Ming said, although he cannot directly kill temporary teammates with contracts, it is possible and has had countless examples to create trouble and traps to kill the other party. But in this way, no one dares to underestimate him and make any ideas about him, even if his abilities must be physically contacted, even if his abilities are so weak that there may be any restrictions or other things, no one wants to act rashly or tempt when he is not sure about these, because once he tempts, he may have to pay a great price when he understands these.
Even life is possible!
After all, it is a sinister and unpreventable thing like "poison". No one is willing to risk paying the price to test the background of the ancient name's ability. What's more, at least there is no direct or obvious conflict of interest yet.
This old man...is not simple...)
