Twenty-nine: The source of the curse
The smoke covered the sky and the sun, and the crowds around him kept crying. The entire English Concession was in hell. Everyone rushed out of the concession, trying to avoid this place of failure.
The English Guards running in panic rushed into the Earl's Courtyard for rescue, but after entering, they turned around and ran outside. A scream came, and the sight was blocked by the thick smoke. No one could know what was happening inside.
Zhang Jingrui stared at the great elder on the ground. His thin body slowly expanded, and then he grew long tentacles from his body, curled up and rolled, indescribable horror.
"Uhana." The man in strange clothes had fear in his eyes, and he left Zhang Jingrui and ran out of the concession.
Zhang Jingrui was shocked and didn't know what to do. The elder got up from the ground, his eyes were filled with red eyes, and he roared and rushed towards Zhang Jingrui.
"Great Elder, Great Elder." Zhang Jingrui called out with all his strength, but the Great Elder was already in a state of madness and stretched out his palm to grab Zhang Jingrui's shoulder.
Zhang Jingrui flashed away. The growing tentacles sucked quickly, emitting a disgusting smell. The liquid dripping on the ground eroded and evaporated, and Zhang Jingrui felt dizzy.
"No, it's poisonous." Zhang Jingrui screamed inwardly, turned around and avoided quickly. However, the elder was faster and rose from the ground, and appeared in front of Zhang Jingrui in a diagonal thorn. With a wave of his arm, the dense tentacles roared.
Zhang Jingrui's face changed drastically, and these tentacles were deployed, and there was no way to avoid them. Zhang Jingrui closed his whistling, flipped backwards in the air, and hurriedly hid behind the military vehicle.
The tentacle stuck to the body of the car with a "puff". The elder's hideous cheeks turned red as blood. With a hysterical roar, the military vehicle fell into an instant and smashed towards Zhang Jingrui.
Zhang Jingrui rolled away on the spot, forced by the long tentacles to get close to him. Si was extremely frightened and hurriedly pulled out a short gun from his body and pointed at the Great Elder, "Great Elder, if you keep holding it, I'm not polite."
The elder laughed strangely, and couldn't understand what Zhang Jingrui was saying. His body continued to expand, his clothes squeaked into pieces, and his whole body became transparent.
The thin body showed white bones, and red silk threads were wandering from the bones, surging and spreading out of the body. The tentacles around the body were longer and denser. In a moment, the tentacles had reached the level of wrapping the whole body. They were no longer humans, but they were clearly a furry monster.
Zhang Jingrui could no longer help, and the short gun in his hand shot at the red shadow, "bang" several times, but the bullets shot into the shadow, as if they had been buried in cotton, without any sound.
‘Gee.’ A strange sound came, and the tentacles around the Great Elder shot out densely, roaring towards Zhang Jingrui.
The dense tentacles poured towards Zhang Jingrui like a moving wall.
Zhang Jingrui unfolded his body and ran away, hiding behind the street houses. His tentacles were "pu" and shot on the wall. After Zhang Jingrui heard the sound, he trembled and quickly jumped up. Several ups and downs appeared on the roof. He looked down at the great elder who could no longer recognize him.
The round body kept coming towards his dodge, like a sphere squirming forward, and the rich smell was almost unbearable to smell. After seeing the abnormality of the Great Elder, the crowd of people rushing on the street exclaimed and ran away desperately.
Whoosh, the dense tentacles tilted out and shot into the crowd. A heart-wrenching sound rang out. Zhang Jingrui watched the people gradually collapse on the ground with blood oozing all over his body, melting at a speed visible to the naked eye, emitting a strong stench.
Hu Ben Guard, who was chasing Yang Dezhong from outside, returned, and when he saw such a terrifying thing, he took out a short gun and shot at the Great Elder.
A dense gunfire sounded and the bullets passed through the Great Elder's body.
The Great Elder trembled violently, and with a roar, the tentacles all over his body shot towards the Hu Ben Guards. Seeing that these Hu Ben Guards were about to die, the Great Elder's body trembled violently, as if something was afraid of happened. With the wailing, the tentacles all over his body gradually contracted back.
He fled forward desperately, as if
I almost avoided the smoke-filled Earl's mansion. While running, the dense tentacles gradually became restrained and showed a human form.
A bullet penetrated his chest and twitched and fell to the ground.
The Hu Ben Guard then saw clearly that the terrifying monster I saw just now turned out to be the Great Elder, and his face became ugly.
"Stop." Zhang Jingrui's voice sounded, and he jumped down from the roof.
The Hu Ben Guard's face became very ugly, after all, the elder who was killed just now was the Great Elder.
Zhang Jingrui was not angry. He looked at the elder who was gradually regaining his human form on the ground, and his eyes were filled with a puzzled look. He looked at the Hu Ben Guard who shot, stretched out his short spear and pressed against the Hu Ben Guard.
"Young master, please spare me. I don't know if this is the Great Elder. You saw it just now. He... he is not a human." The Hu Benwei trembled.
Zhang Jingrui was introverted and looked at the messy crowd, "Don't disclose what happened today. I order you to take the corpse of the Great Elder to the military camp and place it secretly. Without my order, no one is allowed to leave without authorization."
"Yes." The tiger guards looked at the corpse of the elder on the ground. The juice that was gradually oozing out was very unpleasant. Zhang Jingrui pinched his nose and reminded, "Be careful."
The Hu Ben Guard took off his coat and covered the body of the Great Elder. Then he found the iron frame from the dumped military vehicle, carried the white jade bones in the package, and carried the Great Elder quickly towards the concession.
Zhang Jingrui's eyes gradually looked at the Earl's Mansion. What happened just now? He thought about it and took a risk to find out.
Luo Xiaohu carried the count on his back and hit the two big men's heads with an iron rod. Then the two big men did not fall down as they imagined. The tentacles that wrapped around Cheng Geng's body gradually contracted back, and turned to look at Luo Xiaohu.
The twisted and deformed cheek was even more terrifying than the one he had when the count was sick. The dense tentacles gradually appeared from the body, making the scalp numb.
"Swoosh"
Dozens of tentacles attacked Luo Xiaohu.
Luo Xiaohu hurriedly stretched out the iron rod and waved it, but the tentacles stuck to the iron rod, and then the iron rod was thrown away from Luo Xiaohu. The tentacles curled up and stretched in front of Luo Xiaohu like a human palm, as if they were intimidating him.
These people have long lost consciousness and are like puppets. The tentacles have contracted, as if they are accumulating strength, and suddenly shot towards Luo Xiaohu.
At this moment, the fire behind him became bigger and rolled up the fire in Liaotian. When the tentacles touched Dao Luo Xiaohu's body, the temperature behind him rose.
The tentacles trembled, as if they were very afraid of the temperature. A miserable hiss disappeared as the man turned around and fled out.
Cheng Geng complained. As soon as he escaped from danger, he found these terrifying people rushing towards him. He remembered the Count's ghost appearance, took a deep breath, turned around to avoid it without any haste, and the dense tentacles shot towards his chest again.
Whoosh, the tentacles shot on Cheng Geng's chest, and did not shoot through the human body as before. The tentacles squirmed on Cheng Geng's chest, hissed, tearing off the clothes, and the dark and cold Buddhist beads appeared.
The Buddhist beads emitted heat and a faint light shone. The tentacles were like seeing a ghost. They retracted quickly with a loud noise. The invisible energy scattered everywhere, and the two men's sudden changes returned to calm and fell to the ground.
Cheng Geng looked at the two big men in his body and didn't know what happened. The body gradually returned to normal skin color, brown juice flowed down, and the ground was eroded to paint black.
Just when Cheng Geng was lost, Luo Xiaohu walked out of the small foreign building with difficulty. The flames in the small foreign building behind him soared into the sky, making a rumble sound. It was obviously reaching its limit and about to fall.
Cheng Geng hurriedly stepped forward to help, helped the count down from Luo Xiaohu's back, and the two ran outside, and happened to meet Zhang Jingrui who was rushing in.
Zhang Jingrui swept around and saw the two big men on the ground. His eyes fell on the fire in the small western-style building. He didn't have time to think about it, so he helped the two of them lift the count and flee outside.
Rumble.
A huge explosion sounded, and cries came from the streets. The Earl's mansion turned into a sea of fire, and the surrounding captains rushed to push the water pressure truck to put out the fire.
Luo Xiaohu placed the count on the ground and gasped desperately. At this time, Zhang Jingrui saw the count's face clearly and felt a dazed. He had never seen such a terrifying person before, but because of the two of them, they did not say a word, and suddenly remembered the situation of the Great Elder and the person who fell to the ground. It seemed to be very appropriate to the count's appearance. He was extremely shocked inside. No one knew what he was thinking.
A car stopped, Zhang Jingfang and An Qinghuan ran down from the car. When they saw the situation of the Earl's Mansion, they were shocked and rushed towards Luo Xiaohu. However, after seeing the Earl's face on the ground, they lost their appearance and almost exclaimed.
"What's going on?" Cheng Geng asked Luo Xiaohu.
Luo Xiaohu struggled in his heart. He glanced at Cheng Geng, then swept over Zhang Jingrui and others, and sighed, "The white jade strange bone." He stared at Cheng Geng and said, "Your white jade strange bone was a little strange, which caused the reaction and caused the vessel to explode. Those people were eroded by the curse and became like that."
Zhang Jingrui was like listening to a heavenly book, wondering what Luo Xiaohu was talking about?
Cheng Geng asked, "You were not kidnapped, why did you appear in the Earl's Mansion again?"
"It was Yang Dezhong, who sent someone to hijack us." Luo Xiaohu glanced at the count on the ground, "My father guessed that Governor Yang was related to the incident that year. It should be the person in a past event, so he told Yang Dezhong that there were still many strange white jade bones in his residence. Yang Dezhong was indeed deceived and came all the way to the count's mansion."
"After arriving at the Earl's Mansion, my father took them to the basement. I didn't expect that the strange man would appear here with the Great Elder at some point. The two sides fought. The strange man was so powerful that he subdued Yang Dezhong's people for a while. The strange man picked up the package and opened it. After seeing the white jade bone, his face changed drastically. He knelt down to the white jade bone and shouted something. Who knew that the strange stone extracted from the vessel that day suddenly changed and emitted a strange light. The characters on the white jade bone lit up. The stone exploded and exploded in scattered, destroying the vessel. The liquid in the vessel was a chemical object extracted, ignited by the stone fragments, and the entire underground caused a fire, burning all the vessels, and constantly exploded. The Frankenstein found by Dad was all graveled into the body, and then it was like this."
Zhang Jingrui was stunned, thinking about everything he saw just now, it turned out that it was caused by the bone he saw, and his thoughts arose.
An Qinghuan looked at Luo Xiaohu with a face, "Your father seems to have been cursed by 'Uhana'."
Luo Xiaohu and Zhang Jingrui looked at her together. This was not the first time he heard this. Luo Xiaohu hurriedly stood up from the ground, reached out and grabbed An Qinghuan and asked, "What is Wuhana? Tell me, tell me quickly?"
An Qinghuan's face looked ugly. She was frightened by Luo Xiaohu and looked at Zhang Jingrui timidly.
Zhang Jingrui reached out to stop Luo Xiaohu and said, "Mr. Luo, don't be excited, let him speak slowly."
Luo Xiaohu then let go of his hand. An Qinghuan's face relaxed, "I don't know very well, it was my father who told the weird guy. I accidentally heard it. The man seemed to be from the Longbei Plain."
The few people's faces changed drastically and they stared at An Qinghuan.
Luo Xiaohu asked his stepfather more than once why he became like this, but his stepfather always vaguely covered up the past, and even why his mother abandoned his father and wanted to follow his stepfather to go away from England, but there was no answer. Both the stepfather and the mother seemed to have reached an agreement, and no one would reveal it to him. Now that he knew the source of the stepfather's curse, he looked excited in his eyes. He stood up from the ground, "Qinghuan, take us to see your father."
An Qinghuan looked around the people present and nodded.
Luo Xiaohu carried the count from the ground and ran towards Zhang Jingfang's car, and the others followed.
As Zhang Jingrui left, he looked deep at the Earl's Mansion that had turned into ruins.
