Chapter 25 - Zhao Xue is dead?

Shen Tuo was able to see through my intentions with a single glance. Even though his eyes were still filled with worry, Shen Tuo knew that this was his final move. Otherwise, if he were to take Zhao Xue's life, Zhao Xue would probably not leave.

Furthermore, even if Shen Tuo were to die, Zhao Xue would not let this matter rest. On the contrary, without Shen Tuo blocking her, Zhao Xue will be even more reckless. Not only Su Xiao and Bai Weiwei, even I might not be able to escape death by then.

I raised my peach wood sword and saw the place where Zhao Xue's back was still smoking. I stabbed with all my might.

This time, there was no longer any resistance as the peach wood sword directly pierced through Zhao Xue's back. I, who almost fell on Zhao Xue due to the weightlessness, quickly stabilized my body and let go of the peach wood sword.

The blood-red sleeves that were just about to come into contact with Shen Tuo seemed to have lost all their strength in an instant. They turned back into soft cloth, hanging lifelessly on the ground.

I quickly ran to the front. I didn't know why, but I was no longer afraid of Zhao Xue.

Zhao Xue was in pain, but she still forced herself to smile sinisterly. Her blood-red lips were extremely wide as if she wanted to devour someone.

"Hahaha, useless! I have already made a death wish, none of them will be able to escape! "We can't escape!"

After she finished speaking, Zhao Xue instantly transformed into a wisp of smoke and floated out of the window.

At this moment, I pressed the switch again and the light on the ward was switched on.

I wasn't in the mood to care about the current situation. I helped Shen Tuo sit down. Originally, I wanted to ask him about his injuries, but he pushed me away and anxiously ran to Su Xiao's side.

At this moment, Su Xiao's eyes were glazed. Although she wasn't tied down by Zhao Xue, she still maintained her posture, like a puppet. As long as no one was controlling her, she would maintain this posture.

Shen Tuo clearly no longer had the strength to stand. He suddenly sat on the stool beside the sickbed, his head lowered as though he was thinking of something.

I'm a bit worried. This is the first time I've seen something like this.

"Shen Tuo, did Zhao Xue just die?"

Hearing my words, Shen Tuo acted as if he was self-deprecating as he shook his head. He snorted coldly, "No, she didn't. How could she die so easily?"

Shen Tuo's tone was filled with disappointment.

"Looks like it's right. Those dead infants in the basement were Zhao Xue's doing." She absorbed the resentful aura of the dead baby and had already become a Fetal Life Spirit. Her strength greatly increased and even I am no longer her opponent …

I sighed to myself. I didn't expect that after risking my life in a desperate battle, it seemed that I wasn't able to injure my opponent in the slightest. Fortunately, he had at least brought Shen Tuo down.

Only then did I notice that Bai Weiwei was still lying on the side and had yet to wake up!

I anxiously patted her face. After a long while, Bai Weiwei woke up in a daze. Luckily, Bai Weiwei was only knocked unconscious by Zhao Xue and didn't suffer any injuries.

"Did Zhao Xue intend to kill Su Xiaoxiao just now?"

Shen Tuo let out a heavy breath and explained, "No, Zhao Xue was just taking a Soul Search. Stimulation the opponent bit by bit, causing the opponent's soul to lose its defense and then devouring it. "

phagocytosis

If Zhao Xue devoured Su Xiao's soul, then Su Xiao would die …

Fortunately, although Su Xiao was still a little sluggish, at least her life was saved.

I don't think that Zhao Xue will make a comeback after getting heavily injured tonight, and Shen Tuo's injury can't be delayed either. Shen Tuo could only add a few more incantations under Su Xiao's bed, and then take out a few more incantations to give to Bai Weiwei. After that, I brought Shen Tuo back to the police station.

I threw Shen Ta on the back seat of the car, opened the door, and got into the driver's seat. I took a deep breath — I had never driven a car since I took off my license.

At that moment, I suddenly smelled a pungent smell of tobacco.

I rolled my eyes and turned my head. Sure enough, despite having lost all of his strength, Shen Tuo still tremblingly lit up a cigarette.

[This guy really wants to die!]

I just sat there with the window open, and it wasn't until he was out of the car that I tried to start the car.

"Take me home."

With these words from Shen Tuo, the car that I just started was forcefully extinguished by me. "Go home? "What family?"

Shen Tuo helplessly crashed into the back seat and loudly shouted: "My house! My house! You go ahead, I'll show you the way! "

After finally getting on the road, Shen Tuo didn't look like an injured person at all. His face reminded me of the coach who sat in the passenger seat when I was learning to drive a car a few years ago.

Along the way, I was very nervous, so I didn't see the road clearly. I simply followed Shen Tuo's directions and turned the steering wheel left and right.

It wasn't until the car turned into a deserted alley that I began to notice my surroundings. I had never known that such a quaint place existed in the city where I went to school.

Surrounding him were the same green slabs of stone. The road ahead and the surrounding walls were as simple and unadorned as the Jiangnan town in his dreams. Unfortunately, it's late at night and there's a vicious police officer sitting behind me. He was just severely injured in order to save a few of our people, so as a legal citizen of the People's Republic of China, I can't just leave him be.

"Right in front, that gate."

I understood. I parked the car in front of the door, and before I could knock, the door opened by itself!

My entire body shuddered and I subconsciously took a step back. Could it be that there is something inside?

However, it turned out that I had experienced so many things tonight that I was feeling suspicious everywhere I went.

An old man with a white beard came out from behind the wooden door, dressed in an old blue robe. I frowned, unsure of what to say.

The old man looked at me and sullenly said, "That boy is back?"

"Huh?"

I didn't realize that the "brat" the old man was referring to was Shen Tuo.

Shen Tuo struggled to open the car door, his legs went limp as he laid on top of me. He didn't forget to reply with a hoarse voice, "I'm back, Grandfather."

It was only then that I understood. The grandfather-grandson pair, it was no wonder why they spoke in such a similar manner and were so incomprehensible.

With great effort, I supported Shen Tuo and followed behind the old man. After passing through a large courtyard, we arrived at a hall.

So, Shen Tuo's family was a nouveau riche.

The old man looked at Shen Tuo. He didn't know why, but he let out a sigh and walked into the room to grab something. Without saying a word, Shen Tuo immediately drank it all without even drinking a cup of water. Seeing that Shen Ta's heavy breathing had gradually calmed down, I felt at ease.

"Little girl, it's getting late. Let's rest here tonight."

After the old man finished speaking, he chuckled and turned to leave.

Me

I looked towards Shen Tuo. Shen Tuo coughed as he waved his hand at me, "This old man has probably misunderstood. It's alright. Anyways, I don't plan on resting tonight."

What? He's already in this state, and he still doesn't intend to rest?

You don't want to rest, I still need to rest! I thought to myself, but still helped Shen Ta up and walked into Shen Ta's bedroom.

Originally, I wanted to put Shen Tuo on the bed, but then I made a bed or slept on the sofa. Unexpectedly, Shen Tuo actually forcibly brought me to the computer table and sat down on a chair while supporting himself with the table.

"You go to sleep first, I still have something to do."

Honestly speaking, I am physically and mentally exhausted. Zhao Xue's ghostly laughter still echoed in my head. However, I probably can't fall asleep if you let me sleep.

"This is simply mental torture. If you can get Zhao Xue to help you interrogate the prisoners, I'm afraid that Shen will have one each."

Shen Ta was amused by my words, but soon after, he coughed a few more times.

"What is a Fetal Spirit?" I suddenly remembered what Shen Tuo told me tonight. Before I could ask about it, a series of things happened.

Shen Tuo leaned back in his chair and stared at the ceiling, "A vengeful spirit like Zhao Xue was formed when the resentment was too great. If you want to increase your strength, you have to absorb the grievances of the other dead." "However, when one absorbs the resentful aura of an ordinary corpse, if the resentful aura is too weak, there is no way to fulfill one's expectations. Moreover, if the resentful aura is too heavy, it is easy to be devoured."

"So, she chose the part with the heaviest grievances but the least aggressive — the baby, right?" Hearing Shen Ta's words, I seemed to have understood something.

"Yes, because the infant's consciousness is too weak, the resentment in his body is extremely heavy, but it can only be used on his parents. Maybe Su Xiao's hospital just happens to have a basement like this, which is also a good opportunity. "

As Shen Tuo spoke, he closed his eyes, but his mouth was still muttering, "However, there is still another power to the resentful aura of the dead baby, which is to promote the transformation of the soul. After reaching a certain amount, Zhao Xue will transform from a resentful ghost to a Fetal Spirit."

"Oh, this is what you mean by quantitative change."

At this point, Shen Tuo's even breathing reached my ear. In order not to wake him up, I didn't move him onto the bed, but instead covered him with a blanket.

I was a little worried about the matters at the hospital, so I walked into the courtyard and called Bai Weiwei.

After we left, Su Xiao was still as she had been before. Her eyes were glazed, she refused to sleep, she didn't speak, she didn't move. The doctor had already gone to see her several times, and she had also been given a sedative, but it was to no avail.

Until just now, the doctor had been unable to do anything but give her a few sleeping pills. Su Xiao closed her eyes, but remained in the same position.

Now, Bai Weiwei no longer dared to stay alone with Su Xiaoxiao. She simply found a nurse and stayed with Bai Weiwei all night to guard Su Xiaoxiao.

I hung up the phone and paced the yard with a worried look on my face.

"Your friend has caused a great deal of trouble."

At this moment, Shen Tuo's grandfather appeared out of nowhere. Listening to him, I had the feeling that he was blaming me for injuring his grandson. I was so embarrassed I didn't know what to say.

But the old man had no intention of chatting with me. He walked past me and into a bedroom.

I went back to Shen Ta's room and fell asleep at some point.

When I woke up, Shen Tuo was already nowhere to be seen. The computer on the desk was still on.

I rubbed my eyes and finally saw the two words on the webpage — Death Wish.
