1676 A strange lifeform (1)
Tang Zhen stepped into the hall. A “creaking” sound was heard behind him as the decayed metal door slowly closed.
The strange man who led the way followed them in, but the rotten smell on him seemed to have disappeared, and he looked no different from a normal person.
However, Tang Zhen felt a trace of uncomfortable aura. It was as though the other party’s body was covered with a layer of human skin. The essence of the other party was still that rotten wreckage.
Or rather, both the ferry and the strange man in front of them made them feel very uncomfortable.
It was as if he was facing another creature, filled with a sense of strangeness and estrangement, and there was no way for them to communicate.
Tang Zhen seemed to casually size up the items in the hall. He discovered that the decorations here were very complete and it looked like a real Inn.
In the center of the hall, there was even a fake mountain, from which spring water that emitted dense mist slowly flowed out.
Tang Zhen’s gaze landed on the fake mountain and he took a few more glances.
There were two female puppets standing in the hall. Their faces were as white as paper, and their eyes flickered with green flames. They flickered constantly when they looked at Tang Zhen.
“No. 1 and No. 2, bring this guest to his lounge.”
The strange man waved his hand as he instructed the two female puppets. His tone was very casual.
“Wait a moment, Zhenzhen.”
Tang Zhen stopped the other party’s actions. Then, he sized up the two female puppets. He smiled at the strange man and said, ” there’s no need for us to pretend to be confused. I just want to know how you can be sure that I will board a void ferry of unknown origin.
That man looked at Tang Zhen and laughed,”perhaps it’s because you’re highly skilled and bold. You don’t fear any danger, right?”
Tang Zhen nodded and seemed to acknowledge the strange man’s words. At the same time, he turned around, walked to a chair and sat down.
“Under normal circumstances, no one would take your ship, including me.
But after I discovered something, I realized that if I don’t board your ship, I’m afraid I’ll always be in one place, right?”
The strange man smiled in the face of Tang Zhen’s question. He similarly nodded, ” that’s right. You have been trapped by me. However, the question is, when did you discover it? ”
Tang Zhen sighed. His expression seemed a little vexed. However, he still explained, ” do you really think that I’ve stayed in the true immortal plane for more than ten years for nothing? don’t tell me that I don’t know how to take advantage of a loophole and secretly obtain some world’s origin? ”
The strange man nodded. To a sector Lord, it was easy to get to this point.
However, Tang Zhen’s method was to poach the Wheel of Fortune’s members. One could only say that he was very bold, and not just ordinarily bold.
Tang Zhen didn’t seem to care that his secret was known by the other party and continued to explain,”although I’ve been forced to leave, I can still sense the origin aura of the true immortal plane while being in the void.”
At first, I thought that I had gone far, so I didn’t pay attention to these details. In the end, the moment you appeared, I sensed the aura of the true immortal realm. Don’t you think it’s strange?”
The strange man laughed and replied, ” it’s not strange at all. You’re not too far from the true immortal plane. You’ve been walking in circles all along.
Tang Zhen revealed an ” as expected ” expression as he looked at the strange man. I can’t leave that area and you can’t do anything to me either. So, you simply jumped out and let me board your ship, right? ”
The strange man nodded in acknowledgment, ” that’s right. This is a direct method. I’ve never thought of using the illusory void to trap the sector Lord to death. Even if we have to wait until the sea dries up and the rocks crumble!
After the strange man finished speaking, he looked at Tang Zhen and sighed,”there’s just one thing that I didn’t expect. You actually dared to board the ship!”
I think you also saw the trick and knew that if you want to get out of trouble, you must board the ship, right?”
Tang Zhen did not reply. Instead, he mused for a moment before asking another question.
“Can you tell me who Hua Yue is to you?”
The strange man looked disdainful and shook his head. there’s no special relationship. It’s just that he gave me enough rewards. I just happened to be free, so I took on this mission.
I originally thought that I would have to wait for more than ten years, but I didn’t expect you to come out early. You must have already stabilized the first realm, right?”
Tang Zhen no longer had any doubts after hearing the strange man’s words. Instead, he sized up the interior of the hall.
“Although this Hall is the only exit, it is also the most dangerous place. The cultivators of the Wheel of Fortune are indeed better at fiddling with these dirty things.”
When Tang Zhen said this, he casually picked up a teacup on the table and gently squeezed it.
The strange man’s expression changed slightly. A trace of killing intent also flashed across his eyes as he looked at Tang Zhen.
At the same time, an ear-piercing scream was emitted from the teacup. Soon after, a sharp mouth appeared on the teacup and bit Tang Zhen’s finger ruthlessly.
“Crack!”
Perhaps Tang Zhen’s fingers were too hard, as cracks appeared on the mouth of the teacup. Soon after, the entire teacup shattered and fell to the ground.
The broken pieces of the teacup wailed as they fell to the ground, shaking continuously, but they quickly gathered together.
Then, two hands appeared on the broken teacup. One hand held the eye-shaped teacup fragment while the other hand carefully reassembled the fragment.
Then, the cracked teacup slowly moved and jumped into the spring water in the center of the hall, letting out a moan of enjoyment.
The cracks on the teacup began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye. In the blink of an eye, the teacup was as clean as new.
Then, the teacup flew out of the pool and landed in the hands of the strange man, making a grinding sound.
He was like a child who had been bullied and was complaining to his parents. He seemed to be extremely aggrieved.
The strange man also nodded quickly, appearing to be very cooperative.
Tang Zhen merely watched this scene in silence. A trace of ridicule was contained in his eyes as he said indifferently, I’m guessing you don’t trust living beings with flesh and blood, so you used your Origin Energy to create all these messy things. Even your own body was modified into a state without flesh and blood.
The strange man’s eyes were a little cold. Hearing this, he sighed and said in a sorrowful tone, ” flesh and blood are the most unreliable things. Greed, selfishness, treachery, disloyalty, and countless flaws.
The life forms in the main hall are different. They are pure, obedient, and will always be by my side. They will never leave!”
“So you killed your friends and family, went to the Wheel of Fortune, and then took their bodies to the void?
Let me guess, you’re probably trying to use the special environment of the void to make those corpses undergo a qualitative change, and then use the power of the origin to turn them into life forms like this teacup, right?”
Tang Zhen’s tone became increasingly unkind. The gaze he used to look at the strange man was as though he was looking at a complete lunatic.
