Chapter 467 Fear
Then, the girl took out a small notebook from her waist, flipped it to one page, and showed it to He Xin through the coffee table.
Under the dim light, a picture of a young man was drawn in pencil on the notebook. He was in his early twenties, his face was sharp and sharp, and his gaze was incomparably sharp. Even though it was only a few strokes, it could clearly depict the other party’s expression.
“Have you seen this person?” The girl asked.
He Xin looked up at the girl and shook his head gently.
“What about this person?” The girl turned the page and asked.
The second page was also the portrait of a man. He was in his early thirties. His face was square, his gaze steady, but his beard was pulled out. He looked a little disheveled, carrying a sense of ruffianism and righteousness. He was a great soldier ruffian. He Xin only took a glance and recognized him. This person was the commander of Crimson Peak Stronghold, Hagrid, whom he had just met not long ago.
He Xin nodded. The girl immediately asked him where he had seen him, and he told him everything he knew. Of course, he didn’t say a word about anything unrelated.
After understanding the situation, the girl put away her notebook and said “Thank you”. Then she turned around and walked towards the door.
He Xin did not expect that things would end so easily. He immediately looked at the girl’s back with a vigilant expression, worried that she would suddenly explode and kill her. It wasn’t until she opened the door and walked out that her tense nerves gradually relaxed. He had thought that the other party would say something threatening, or use some other method to make him forget what had happened today.
A moment later, looking at the empty corridor outside, he stood up and walked over. Just as he was about to close the door, a strange voice suddenly sounded from behind him.
“Ya ~ I forgot to tell you ~”
He couldn’t help but tremble as he retracted his hand and turned his neck stiffly. At some unknown time, the girl actually returned to her room and appeared behind him.
He Xin stammered, his forehead covered in cold sweat, and he didn’t say a complete word for a long time. “You … How … How … How …”
“Today’s matter is a small secret between us” The girl blinked her bright eyes and threw him a charming glance. “Don’t tell anyone ~”
“Yes … yes …” He Xin nodded his head and was so frightened that he almost collapsed to the ground.
‘”Bye-bye ~” The girl walked past him and waved her hand at him.
After a long time, He Xin finally came to his senses, slowly closing the door and entering the room. After a while, he rushed into the room and searched around the house. He completely couldn’t understand how that girl had returned just now. Could it be that she would go through the wall?
At the same time, two slender girls were walking side by side, appearing at the entrance of the city hall. The guards couldn’t help but be dumbfounded. Not only were the two girls beautiful, their figures were extremely similar, as if they were printed in the same mold.
“It’s the first time in my life that I’ve seen twins that look so alike.” After the two women left, a guard sighed.
“That’s right. Other than clothes and hairstyle, there’s no difference at all.” Another guard echoed.
At this moment, outside their line of sight, the two girls were whispering to each other.
‘”You’re bad, bitch!” “You’re bad!” “You’re the worst!” “No matter how bad I am, I’m not as bad as you!” “No, you’re still worse!” “Is that so? I think you’re still worse!”
Just as the two women were whispering, a person wearing a gray robe and a headband walked towards them and passed them in a flash.
After walking for a while, the grey-robed man turned his head slightly and glanced behind him with the corner of his eyes. Then, he continued forward as if he had never seen anything. Not far from him, the two women stopped at the same time and looked in his direction.
“A little suspicious.” “Perhaps it’s a woman.” “Even women are curious ~” “Yes.” “Do you want to go back and take a look?” “There’s no need.” The two women discussed as they left.
A few minutes later, the gray-robed man walked to a corner of the outer wall of the residential area. After observing for a while and confirming that there was no one around, he bent over and jumped. Six long knuckles suddenly shot out from behind him, pierced into the wall, and quietly climbed up.
Not long after, He Xin, who was in a trance, met a second uninvited guest in his living room.
At that time, he was resting with his eyes closed when he suddenly heard a trace of movement. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a gray-robed man standing in front of him. He was so scared that he almost fainted on the spot. However, he quickly calmed down. He was scared three times in a day and began to get used to it.
“You are” Just as He Xin spoke, the man stepped forward and grabbed his collar, lifting him up from the sofa. He struggled desperately, but it was as if he was caught in a steel clamp, unable to move at all.
“Swoosh!”
With a light sound, a long spider-like thing suddenly shot out from behind the man, and it rose high above his head and stabbed down abruptly! It stabbed into his shoulder in a flash, and he felt a heartbreaking pain. Immediately after, a swelling sensation came from the pain, as if something had been injected through the spider leg.
“Very soon, you will feel that death is only a form of relief for you.” The gray-robed man said slowly. He withdrew his knuckles, then released his grip and threw him on the sofa.
After gasping for breath, He Xin covered his wound and struggled to get up. But before he could sit down, a sharp pain came from his chest and abdomen. In an instant, it was as if thousands of needles were piercing through his body, and it was as if there was a high-voltage electric current running around his organs.
“Ah …” He Xin let out an extremely painful scream. Countless serrations were biting his internal organs and devouring his flesh and blood. A few seconds was as long as a century, and in the end he crashed into the wall out of control and fainted on the spot.
After an unknown amount of time, he gradually woke up. Before he could figure out what had just happened, he heard that nightmarish voice.
“I hope you can remember this feeling and never forget it.”
“What do you need me to do?” At this time, He Xin calmed down instead.
In the next few days, the grey-robed man asked two questions.
Firstly, why should they target Crimson Peak Stronghold? Secondly, did you come into contact with any suspicious people just now?
Until now, He Xin could only tell Yang Yong everything he had done in private and didn’t dare to hold back at all. He answered the second question truthfully.
“Where is the stronghold of the Sun Snake Sect?” Tie Zha couldn’t help but frown when he heard that Bi Qinglan’s people were inquiring about his situation. This crazy woman had been haunting him for a long time, giving him endless headaches.
To answer his question, He Xin took out a map of Desert 5 and spread it on the coffee table, pointing out the locations of the three strongholds of the Sun Serpent Sect.
The human-controlled area of Desert Five could be roughly divided into three parts. The northwest and northeast of Wind Sand Castle were controlled by the Temple and the nobles, while the southwest was controlled by the nobles of Notre Dame and the territories, and the southeast was controlled by commercial groups. Of the three strongholds of the Sun Snake Sect, the largest was in the southeast hinterland, while the smaller ones, the Green Snake Stronghold and the White Snake Stronghold, were at the southeast frontier. There were more than ten occurrences within their jurisdiction.
It seemed that in order to split up the Far East and rope in the Spirit Snake Clan, the nobles had invested a lot of money. Looking at the dense strongholds and mines on the map, Tie Zha couldn’t help but feel dejected. A few small factions made it difficult for them to walk. In this heavily fortified world, it was not easy to light the Holy Flame.
Sensing his silence, He Xin tactfully lowered his head and waited quietly.
A moment later, Tie Zha recovered from his thoughts and said to He Xin, “If you want to live, deal with Yang Yong’s matter. Otherwise, I don’t mind killing more people.”
“But …” He Xin said painfully, “if I betray them, I won’t be able to survive either.”
“You can turn yourself in and hide in prison.” Said Tie Zha.
“This” He Xin’s face turned pale and he was speechless.
“Whatever you do, anyway …” Tie Zha paused for a moment and said in a deep voice, “I’ve already injected a parasite egg into your body. As long as I’m not satisfied, you’ll immediately die from within and without.” With that, he turned around and left.
After the gray-robed man left, He Xin was stunned for a long time. Finally, he sighed and put on his coat and went out.
About half an hour later, he arrived at a corner of Sandstorm Castle’s Store Street, turned into a pitch-black alley, and walked several hundred meters before appearing in front of a small brick building.
“Knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock. Not long after, a man in a white coat opened a crack in the door and let him squeeze in.
“What’s the matter?” The man asked.
“Doctor Xue, help me examine my body. An insecticide injected a parasite egg into my body.” He Xin said calmly.
A few hours later …
After a series of examinations, the doctor concluded that He Xin did have a large number of xenogeneic cells in his body.
“How many … are there?” He Xin asked in a trembling voice, as if a criminal had been sentenced to death.
“In a drop of blood like this …” The doctor picked up the glassware used for microscopic observation and said, “There are at least a few thousand of them.” Then, he turned the LCD screen on his desk and pointed at the red cell-like object on the screen. “You see, this is the xenogeneic cell in your body,” he said.
“Can you clear it?” He Xin didn’t look, but asked.
“It’s very difficult” The doctor shook his head and explained, “Their cell walls are very thick, and their ability to protect themselves is extremely strong. I heated them to 500 degrees just now, but I was unable to kill them.”
“Ah” He Xin took a deep breath and asked, “Is there any other way?”
“Give me some time to study, but …” The doctor thought for a moment and said seriously, “Don’t hold out too much hope. The structure of this cell is too strange. I don’t have enough instruments here to carry out a full-scale experiment.”
“Then you mean …” He Xin hesitated. “There’s nothing I can do about it?”
“Probably.” The doctor spread out his hands and said helplessly.
