Chapter 471: Crown wants to punish you
Just when Yu Xing was staring at his fingertips in a daze, the door of the grocery store was pushed open.
The clown pendant on the door made a rapid and sharp laugh, but the guests who pushed in did not seem to care about the existence of the clown pendant.
Yu Xing raised his eyes and saw that this was a short person. Judging from the outline of his chest, he should be a woman. He was covered in a cloak. If the style of this cloak was not very different from that of the wizard sect, he would have almost thought that he was As soon as I arrived at Dead Island, I met an NPC related to the wizard sect.
"Is this place open?" The person who came was indeed a woman. Her voice was quite decent, the kind of timbre that people would soon forget after listening to it. When the woman came to the counter, she first asked about the bleak business situation in the grocery store. Questioned.
"Business, what do you need? You can take a stroll and ask for help from my two clerks if you need anything." Yu Xing showed a polite business smile and took a look at all the exposed features of this woman.
It's a bit strange. Not only did this woman cover her head with the hood of her cloak, but her chin that should have been exposed was also covered by a strip of cloth, as if she didn't want anyone to see her appearance at all. .
"I...I want to buy some bandages." The woman did not go to Qu Nianqing or Zhao Yijiu as Yu Xing said. Instead, she stood in front of the counter and told Yu Xing what she wanted.
Yu Xing repeated: "Bandage."
If he remembered correctly, there were products such as bandages in the grocery store, but it was also clearly written in the wish book that the last time he requested a replenishment of bandages was actually "yesterday".
There is a calendar in the grocery store, with red pen circles on it, counting the days that have passed each day. According to the calendar, today should be autumn on Dead Island, October 31st.
In short, the bandages were out of stock, so the first customer directly chose something other than the dazzling array of products in the store. This made Yu Xing squint his eyes and feel something strange.
Seeing that Yu Xing repeated "bandage" but didn't say anything, the female guest took another step closer, looked at his face, and then asked lightly: "Boss, I haven't seen you before. You just came here recently." ”
"Crown and I are good friends. He has other things to do today, so I help him take care of his property." Yu Xing said this smoothly, and casually glanced at the clown in the trash can from the mirror. Wow, the doll's head had turned towards him at some point, still staring at him with its moving glass eyes.
Zhao Yijiu and Qu Xianqing stood at two different shelves, watching them cautiously.
"So that's it. So, don't you know where the bandage is?" the female guest asked again. This time her tone was a little colder than the indifference just now. Yu Xing's expression changed uncontrollably - There really weren't many things that could make his expression change, and the power of the curse accounted for half of it.
Yes, because after being in contact with the ghost Chenshu, his physical condition improved, even after all his system-related abilities were taken back on Dead Island, he has yet to experience the side effects of the existence of the curse, that is, Being near sacrifices and ghosts will make him weaker and weaker.
But now, as the female guest approached him step by step, he actually felt the power of the curse becoming active in his body for the first time in a long time, flowing through his limbs, passing on to his body with waves of irresistible cold feelings and the gradual loss of life force. pain.
It's just that his efficiency is a little low. Based on his current level of activity, he can still survive for a long, long time...
So Yu Xing's expression only changed for a moment, and then he smiled: "I'm sorry, the sales of the bandage are so good that they have been sold out, and Croun hasn't had time to make up for it."
He didn't care about the passage of life anyway, but this provided him with great convenience in a short period of time. For example, he instantly determined that the guest in front of him was indeed a ghost, the so-called pollutant on Dead Island. Although it was not I know the level, but I think if it can only activate the power of the curse to this extent, it should still be E level, at most stronger than the human-limbed spider in the secret room.
It may also be D-level—that is probably because this female ghost can talk, communicate, and even buy things.
The baseball bat is at his hand. As long as he sees something wrong, he can beat up the customer who mistakenly enters the black shop. The reason why the human limb spiders make the deducers so passive is because they have no weapons. Now they have weapons in hand. , the confidence to cause trouble is very sufficient.
"...There is no bandage." The female ghost murmured under the robe, "If there is no bandage...what should I do?"
"Excuse me, what happened to you? Maybe I can provide help besides bandages?" Yu Xing raised his eyebrows.
"No..." The female ghost became even more gloomy. A drop of liquid dripped from under her hood. Yu Xing stretched his neck and looked at the ground. Oh, isn't this blood?
Her face is bleeding? Disfigured?
"I'm so hungry, I'm so hungry..." The female ghost suddenly said something else. She leaned forward, slapped her hands on the counter, and moved her head quickly towards Yu Xing. Before Yu Xing could do anything, No matter what reaction he had, he had already seen the female ghost's face through the hood.
It was a **** face that could be called a human face. Small tentacles stretched out from her eyeballs, dancing wantonly in the air. Streams of blood flowed out from the gaps between the tentacles and the eyeballs like bursts of blood. , the nose was cut off, exposing the red flesh and blood inside, and the entire nose bone was missing.
The mouth was stretched very wide, a bit like the girl with a cleft lip in the urban ghost story, with the cleft lip extending to the cheek. This made Yu Xing think that the cleft was similar in shape to the red paint on his own face. Could it be that it was a clown doll? What's the special relationship with such a "cleft girl"?
"I'm so hungry!!" The female ghost's mouth opened wide, and the bright red tongue inside was exposed. It was still covered with shredded meat, as if ghosts would never keep it clean. If Yiqing was here, she would definitely I scolded these ghosts for being slovenly and hindering their appearance in the ghost world.
Speaking of it, Yu Xing's thinking was too fast. In such a frightening moment, he was always thinking about other things.
For the female ghost, this action is considered a jumpscare in the conventional sense. It was fine just now, as if she could communicate, but the next second she jumps into a person's face, which can easily cause adrenaline to surge, the heart to beat violently, and cold sweats. The consequences include instantaneous rage and uncontrollable screaming.
Few people can face face to face with a ugly female ghost like Yu Xing. When the distance is not more than one centimeter, the heartbeat is stable and the mentality is also good.
He was even able to calmly smile and say to the female ghost: "If you are hungry, you can buy the food in our store. It is all fresh and not expired."
"No, I won't eat those things..." The female ghost's teeth were also exposed, and she drooled **** saliva at Yu Xing.
Yu Xing stepped back a little: "Madam, there is no use eating bandages when you are hungry."
"I want a bandage!" the female ghost roared, reaching out and pinching Yu Xing's shoulder. Yu Xing originally wanted to avoid it. After all, he had heard the descriptions of Wu Kaiyun and Cui Hui, and knew that ghosts like human-limbed spiders could make people touch them. He couldn't move, just in case the female ghost had similar abilities, he decided to try not to let the female ghost touch him.
Besides, he didn't know how painful it would be if he was touched by a very powerful ghost. But at this moment, he realized that the female ghost's movements were very slow, no faster than ordinary people, and he had a quick thought. formed in Yu Xing's mind.
When Zhao Yijiu showed the intention of attacking, he was already running towards this side. The fruit knife in his hand shone coldly - it was a sharp fruit knife that Zhao Yijiu had just picked up from the shelf. Come down.
For him, stick weapons are not comfortable, but the touch of this small cold weapon is the most familiar and comfortable.
However, he was a little far away after all. Before he was completely close to the counter, he saw Yu Xing fish out a baseball bat from under the counter. He turned aside to avoid the female ghost's hand grabbing his shoulder and did not hesitate. , and hit the female ghost on the head with a baseball bat.
There was a muffled sound of smashing, and the female ghost suddenly fell to one side, followed by the sound of Yu Xing sucking in cold air: "Hiss... my hands are going numb." Qu Xianqing was watching from the side. In her opinion, Yu Xing, a female ghost of this level, could fully handle the bustle, not to mention Zhao Yijiao assisting her.
But she didn't expect that Yu Xing's force was too great. The female ghost not only fell down, but also flew a certain distance on the ground along with the inertia, stopping right at her feet.
And, if she heard correctly, there was a sound of cracking bones coming from under the robe.
Sure enough, the knocked down female ghost wanted to get up from the ground, but it seemed that many bones were broken starting from the shoulders, and it was unable to withstand the kinetic energy needed for the body to get up.
Qu Xianqing: “…”
She bent down and lifted the hood of the female guest, and then she saw the female guest's face. Her forehead twitched, and she couldn't understand how Yu Xing could sell food to such a face without changing his expression.
Zhao Yijiu also saw the true appearance of the female ghost. He fell silent, as if thinking about something.
Zhao Yijiu, who has a fierce character, has indeed improved significantly in terms of intelligence compared to when he first entered the game. Sometimes even Yu Xing doesn't know what he is thinking. This is due to the gap between his background and memory.
Yu Xing flicked his wrist and was very dissatisfied with the effect of his blow. The strength and lethality were the same as before, but the reaction force was too exaggerated, right?
He was not joking when he said that his whole arm was going numb. It was really numb, and he was almost going to lose feeling in this arm.
“Customers are everything, how can you hurt your customers! Oh my **** of plague, look what you have done? You need a lesson to learn to follow the rules!”
At this moment, the clown's voice rang in the ears of every deducer in the grocery store. Although he sounded frustrated, the surprise and joy inside him could not be concealed at all.
It was as if he did not tell the players in advance that they could not attack the guests, and was waiting for the moment when they broke the rules.
"You didn't say it." Qu Xianqing immediately caught the loophole, "Before this, you didn't tell us that customers are not allowed to be harmed, so for those of us who are temporarily visiting the store, this rule does not exist, or You can't punish us for saying it counts from now on."
"Hehehehe, who said I made the rules?" The clown was obviously very happy, "Even if I don't tell you, it is still the rule of existence, as the God of Plague testifies! According to the punishment, I can now..."
Yu Xing remembered the God of Plague mentioned by the clown. Europe at that time really liked the concept of gods, even if the degree of mechanization became higher. Presumably the Isle of Death must have a similar setting.
Then he glanced in the mirror.
The clown puppet still stayed in the trash can and did not move, but behind him in the mirror... there were an extra set of hands.
The hands were stained with paint, with a pen in one hand and a palette in the other. The tip of the pen had just been wiped across his face, leaving a red mark on his nose.
As if he noticed Yu Xing's awareness, the movements of his hands paused, and then, a head slowly poked out from beside Yu Xing's shoulder.
That was a clown looking at him silently with a crazy smile.
The appearance of the clown is the same as that of a clown doll, that is, it has changed from the appearance of a doll to the appearance of a three-dimensional human being. His hair is smeared with blood one by one, divided into two sides and hanging down under the pointed hat, and that When she opened her mouth, it was like the female ghost who fell to the ground, it was really split open.
I don't know if the clown is floating or not. After his head is fully exposed, his neck and shoulders appear to be more than ten centimeters higher than Yu Xing's horizontal position.
Looking into the clown's dark eyes, Yu Xing felt that the power of his curse became more active, and a feeling of weakness emerged from his heart.
It leaned down and put its split lips close to Yu Xing's ear, so Yu Xing heard the clown's voice again: "I can punish you and become a clown! Hehehe—"
This sense of distance and voice are exactly the same as the feeling I had when I heard the clown's voice several times before. Yu Xing suddenly realized that although there is a clown doll, every time I hear the clown's voice, it does not come from the doll. It turns out that... It's the invisible clown who's always lying behind the performer.
The clown is actually a disembodied ghost?
This is much more difficult to deal with than a physical monster-like ghost like a female guest.
Yu Xing's lips curved: “Since I will be punished by being turned into a clown by you, I can't suffer the loss.”
He jumped over the counter at once and walked towards the female ghost who fell on the ground. At the same time, he took away the fruit knife from Zhao Yijiu's hand and warned Zhao Yijiu: "Did you hear what the great Kroon said? ? Don't be violent to customers, I will confiscate your knife.”
Yu Xing took the confiscated fruit knife, squatted down in front of the female ghost guest, and cut off the female ghost guest's shaky neck with one knife: "But I am different. I have already been punished because of her, so I will kill her directly." It doesn't matter if you drop it.”
With his sharp clicking sound, the female ghost quickly died in every sense of the word. Her body quickly shrank and dried up, just like a human-limbed spider. After a while, only one thing was left in place.
A tooth.
"That's not right." Yu Xing was still questioning, "Why do you think this thing is easier to deal with than the human-limbed spider? The human-limbed spider has the skills of immobilization and mental pollution, but she doesn't have any."
Based on the combat effectiveness she has shown, if the pollutant has an F level, she probably deserves it.
The strangest thing is that the curse power in his body did not move when faced with the human-limbed spider, but became active when faced with this weaker female ghost.
Zhao Yijiu, who witnessed this scene: “…”
He frowned, already discovering the fact that the clown was incorporeal: "Being turned into a clown may have unpredictable consequences. I warn you not to follow the trend."
"Don't worry, your captain, I'm not as weak as you think." Yu Xing picked up the tooth and put it into his pocket in disgust, while comforting Zhao Yijius, "Isn't it just an incorporeal ghost? Don't worry, as long as If he wants to do something to me, I will draw a circle and curse him!”
Qu Nianqing: "No, it always sounds like it has done something to your IQ."
