The woman died like this.
There was no deathbed counterattack, no declaration before death, and he didn't even look back in the direction of the child.
Under the siege of the prison officials, she simply died.
Death was as smooth as the inconspicuous ripples on the water.
This method of death was so hasty that it gave Lu Zhan a sense of unreality... What kind of crossbow can kill a being comparable to a B-class transcendent in one blow?
You must know that let alone a crossbow, even a heavy sniper rifle can hardly target a B-class transcendent, let alone cause damage.
Anyway, he doesn't think this thing can kill him.
The battlefield was a mess, and many mutilated corpses were buried by collapsed buildings. Even if there were some survivors, most of them were missing arms and legs, and they were carried into ambulances while wailing.
As for those who were seriously injured and it was obvious that they could not be saved, the people from the Prison Department could only kill them with tears in their eyes, thus quickly ending their suffering.
As for the man who shot the crossbow arrow and was the absolute hero in ending the battle, he lost all his strength the moment he shot the arrow and fell to the ground not knowing whether he was alive or dead.
After settling the injured, at Jiang Xue's suggestion, the people from the Prison Department quickly came to the hut where the evil spirit hid the child, and soon found the evil spirit's child under the bed.
Not only that, they also found the bodies of many human children under the floor of the room.
Most of these corpses were mutilated, and their bodies were abnormally dry. They were obviously dead because their blood was sucked dry. Needless to say, only evil spirits could do such a thing.
"Why?"
Lu Zhan looked at the scene in front of him. While he was angry at the evil ghost's actions, he also had many doubts in his heart——
Although the ending of the evil ghost's physical death has not changed, the process of the evil ghost being killed is undoubtedly very different from what Xia Yuxi said.
The man who manipulated the chain did not appear, but the Prison Secretary used his own power to kill the evil ghost.
...Although the price is very heavy.
Not only that, the reasons why the evil ghost kills are also different. Xia Yuxi said that the evil ghost was angry and killed because his child was almost sold. However, he did not see this scene. Instead, he saw that the evil ghost did not accept communication.
He keeps killing people for no reason.
So……
Was there something wrong with the picture Xia Yuxi saw, or was there something wrong with what he saw?
In other words, there is something wrong with what both people see?
Assuming that Xia Yuxi did not lie, which of these two different versions of the story is true?
However, in Lu Zhan's view, Xia Yuxi had no need to lie, and it was impossible for her to make up such a story in such a short period of time, so what Xia Yuxi said was most likely true.
what is going on?
Headache.
Lu Zhan looked at the girl with red eyes beside him, and saw that the latter's face was as calm as ever, as if she had no other expression, and he simply asked directly: "Do you know what the situation is now?"
"What do you mean?" the girl asked.
"Is what we're seeing real or fake?"
The girl was silent for a moment: "Then it depends on how you define truth and falsehood."
She really knows something...
Lu Zhan said calmly: "In my opinion, what actually happened in history is true."
"History... but who do you think recorded history?" the girl said, "With the same ending, history can have many directions."
After a pause, she suddenly changed the question, "Do you know what these scenes on the Mountain of Atonement are?"
"What...story?"
Lu Zhan had an idea and instantly remembered what the old beggar had repeatedly emphasized on the way -
"Stories are the only hard currency in Hidden Beast Mountain."
The girl was noncommittal and asked: "Then do you think a story is true or false?"
Lu Zhan was stunned for a moment, and he had a vague understanding in his heart, and asked tentatively: "Is it true or false?"
"The so-called stories are either fabricated out of thin air, exaggerated based on the truth, or half true and false..."
The girl asked, "Then...which kind of story do you think the story in front of you belongs to?"
Lu Zhan didn't speak, but he had an answer in his heart.
At least the gravekeeper won't store a false story in his heart, so it's very likely to be the truth.
The red-eyed girl pointedly said: "Whether it is in real history or in false stories, there will always be winners. And I believe you should have heard that sentence, history is always written by the winners.
of."
Seeing such words come from a child, even though Lu Zhan knew that this guy was definitely not young, he still felt strange.
So she means what she saw was false?
And at this moment, the other party seemed to have remembered something and suddenly asked: "Why do you doubt the authenticity of this matter?"
"Just humans work together to defeat evil ghosts. Isn't this the kind of story you love to hear the most? Why should you doubt it?"
Although the girl's face remained expressionless, Lu Zhan still vaguely detected a hint of sarcasm.
He hesitated for a moment and felt that there was no need to hide it, so he said: "Of course it's because I heard another version of the story before."
This girl definitely knows a lot of things, and she doesn’t seem to have any malicious intent so far, and she has a lot of connections with the tombkeeper...
This kind of opportunity to obtain information is rare. If possible, he doesn't mind exchanging what he already knows for more information.
"Another version of the story..."
The girl looked at him and asked after a long silence, "Can you tell me?"
"certainly."
Lu Zhan began to tell.
While he was telling the girl Xia Yuxi's version of the story, the people from the Prison Department suddenly had a dispute over how to deal with the evil ghost's child.
One person asked: "Is this guy the child of an evil spirit? How should I deal with it?"
"What's there to hesitate about? Those who are not of my race must have different minds, so kill them." Someone said angrily.
Jiang Xue picked up the child from the ground and hesitated: "But he is just a child after all."
"He is indeed a child, but he is not a human child! This guy was born with the blood of human children, and he will eventually become an evil ghost!"
"But……"
And just when Jiang Xue was hesitating, something happened suddenly.
The child in her arms suddenly opened his mouth, revealing two rows of sharp teeth, and then bit Jiang Xue's arm, tearing off a large piece of flesh.
"Jiang Xue!"
The people in the Prison Department were shocked and angry. Someone with quick eyes and quick hands snatched the child from Jiang Xue's hand and threw it heavily to the ground.
Perhaps because he tasted the taste of human blood and human flesh again, a happy smile appeared on the child's face. It was clearly a childish and cute face, but the smile on his face made everyone shudder——
Including Lu Zhan.
If the children of evil spirits are born to be interested in human flesh and blood, and even feed on humans, then they must be born to be on the opposite side of human beings.
If it were Lu Zhan, he would definitely kill this child without hesitation.
The girl listened quietly to Lu Zhan's story, while her eyes fell on the child who was thrown on the ground, her expression still cold and unchanged.
It seemed like she would always have this expression.
After a long while, Lu Zhan finished telling the story he knew, and then asked: "Do you know which one is true?"
"What do you think?" The girl didn't answer, but asked him back, and then spoke calmly.
"One is that in the face of an invincible evil and powerful enemy, all human beings fought one after another and defeated the monster at the cost of their lives; the other is that human beings have no means to fight against the monster, and can only hope to kill the monster by aliens..."
"Hope and despair, victory and failure...if it were you, which story do you think is better?"
After a pause, the girl continued to ask, "In other words, which story would you rather believe?"
Lu Zhan remained silent.
To be continued...
