Before Xiao Tan said that, ghost hunter had always thought that Xiao Tan was the same as him, the type that could only be a sidekick in a limited scenario.
But soon … Ghost Hunter’s opinion changed.
“After all, you’ve already taken care of the puzzle. I haven’t been of much help so far, so …” As Xiao Tan spoke, he walked to the sink.”Let me do this dirty and tiring work.”
He didn’t think much of his words. To brother Jue and the others, it did not sound like much.
However, to the demon ghost, it was a little “harsh …”
!!
Even though ghost hunter had contributed a lot to the team along the way, at the end of the day … Those were things that brother Jue had asked him to do, and when he had accepted the mission, he had been very unwilling.
Earlier, when Feng bujue said that to ghost hunter, the meaning was to mock him,”since you chose to run away when faced with your own weakness, then we can accommodate you and help you clear the game … If you think that is appropriate.”
Ghost hunter had only said ‘I’m sorry’ because he understood what brother Jue meant and had accepted the job of covering the team’s retreat.
However, under brother Jue’s guidance, he was only temporarily forcing himself to face his fear through his actions. In reality, his mind was still running away from it.
Until … This moment.
When he saw Xiao Tan, who was as timid as he was, step forward and search the dirty, smelly sink that could trigger some kind of scary plot at any moment, ghost hunter suddenly felt ashamed.
He suddenly realized that there was no such thing as “good or bad at this kind of script”. When you encounter something you are not good at or do not like, run away or let it go, waiting for others to help you deal with the aftermath. That is the way children deal with things. Adults, on the other hand, had to be responsible. They could not run away in the face of difficulties … No matter what the situation was, they had to at least do what they could.
Of course, we still have to be objective. Ghostly isn’t even an adult yet. However, there was no doubt that he was a particularly strong-willed child among his peers.
“Hmm … It’s sticky and slippery …” After feeling around for about half a minute, Xiao Tan mumbled with a conflicted expression.
“You don’t have to describe it to us, really.” Xiao Ling responded from behind him with a disgusted expression.
“Hehe … It sounds like he’s describing snot,” Feng bujue, on the other hand, put on a look as if he thought that was not disgusting enough and continued with a malicious tone.
“No, it doesn’t look like snot. It does look like …” Xiao Tan actually replied brother Jue seriously.”Er … Something like swill.”
The conversation did not progress further because after Xiao Tan said that, there was a gurgle and a few bubbles rose from the liquid in the sink. Then, the dirty water slowly flowed into the drain.
“Phew …” Two seconds later, Xiao Tan sighed in relief and turned around to tell everyone,”we’ve found the cause of the congestion.”
As he spoke, he raised his right hand and displayed an oval object in front of everyone.
“This is …” Ling, who was the closest to him, pinched her nose and looked at it for a few seconds.”Soapbox?”
Indeed, it was a soapbox, and it was the very old kind. It was basically an oval plastic box that could be divided into two parts.
“Hmm, I think so too …” After hearing Xiao Ling’s words, Xiao Tan wanted to respond.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, there was a sudden change!
From the sink behind him, from the narrow drain … A hand reached out and reached for the back of Xiao Tan’s waist.
At that moment, everyone’s attention was focused on the soapbox in Xiao Tan’s hand, so this sudden attack … Caught everyone by surprise.
After 0.5 seconds, RUO Yu was the first to react. However, she was standing quite far away from the sink, so she could not help even if she wanted to. But she still made the right response. Yingying immediately turned on her flashlight and aimed it at the sink.
Feng bujue and ghost Hunter’s reaction was slower than RUO Yu ‘s. The former was also standing further away, and ghost hunter … Was coincidentally standing beside Xiao Tan.
Pfft!
A second later, a m.u.f.fled sound was heard.
In that split second, blood had already appeared.
A piece of flesh was ripped off from the right side of Xiao Tan’s waist. In the pain, he groaned and staggered a few steps forward.
At the same time, the demon ghost’s hand had already grabbed the monster’s forearm.
“Beep! Beep!” No one knew what Feng bujue cursed, but as the curse escaped his mouth, he shot forward like an arrow, and a pair of large scissors appeared in his hand.
It happened too late! The arm that was held by ghost hunter could not be pulled back. Brother Jue, who had rushed forward, saw the opportunity and raised the scissors to stab at the arm.
Clang! Clang-clang-
How ruthless was brother Jue? The tip of the scissors pierced through the arm and hit the bottom of the metal sink, making two sounds.
“Wuwuwuwu” then, a dull groan came from the pipe at the bottom of the sink. It seemed to be the monster hiding in the pipe.
“Are you alright?” As Feng bujue used the scissors to open the monster’s wound, he turned around and asked Xiao Tan in a relatively calm tone.
“I’m fine …” At that moment, Xiao Tan’s hair was already dripping with sweat, but his expression was surprisingly calm.”There are no internal injuries, and the loss of life Points is only 28%. It’s just that the ‘bleeding’ state needs to be dealt with, but it’s nothing serious.”
“Okay …” Brother Jue sighed in relief when he heard that. Then, he started to work on the arm …
“Then … I’m sure everyone is curious. How did this guy’s body get hidden in the drain?” When Feng bujue said that, he gave ghost hunter a look.
For some reason, even though ghost hunter and brother Jue were not close, he completely understood what brother Jue meant.
“Er … I’ll leave it to you …” Therefore, GUI Xiao let go of the monster’s forearm and left the sink.
He had just taken a few steps back when Feng bujue made his move.
Brother Jue pulled out the scissors, threw them to the side, and then … Jumped up onto the sink. His feet stepped on the edge of the sink, and his hands gripped the monster’s arm.
“Ha … You’re quite strong …” Feng bujue felt like he was pulling a giant carrot. He pulled a few times in this exaggerated posture and even squeezed out this sentence from between his teeth.
As for the monster … It was screaming every time brother Jue exerted his strength.
“I’ll help!” After thirty seconds of this strange tug-of-war, RUO Yu put her flashlight on the table and went up to hold brother Jue’s waist.
At this moment, the others were a little stunned. They had no idea what the meaning and result of this was. No matter what, with the size of the drain, it was impossible for a human head to pa.s.s through, let alone a torso.
Therefore, from an observer’s point of view, Feng bujue was merely trying to avenge Xiao Tan by purposely going to bully a wave of monsters, and RUO Yu … Seemed to be trying to help Brother Jue … No matter what he was doing.
Logically speaking, the result of pulling like this would be nothing more than breaking the monster’s arm. The question now was where the spine was broken. When will it be broken? And what event would be triggered if it was cut off?
However, they never expected … Another shocking scene to appear.
After fifteen seconds of this cruel hand-pulling action, there was a strange sound of “GRU GRU GRU GRU GRU GRU” and a strange substance with a diameter similar to the drain was pulled out of the sink.
That thing … It was as thick as the monster’s arm, but it looked very strange; To describe it, it was like putting a living person into a decorative bag (the kind used to decorate a cake with cream), and then squeezing it out of a hole smaller than a bowl … In the end, the noodle-like state was created.
The internal organs, flesh, blood, and bones were all twisted into a whole, dragged out from the back of the arm for a full five meters, and then thrown on the ground.
When they saw this scene, everyone was silent, mainly because this thing was really nauseating. Just looking at it made people want to vomit, let alone commenting.
“Ha!” However, Feng bujue had to say something.”The good news is that we should have killed the monster already.” He paused for a moment.”The bad news is that he doesn’t seem to be able to provide us with any more information.”
“I have a feeling …” RUO Yu, who had helped him, said,”the nature of this monster is similar to the one we encountered at the entrance of the music cla.s.sroom … We just need to force it back. There’s no need to go to this extent.”
“Hey, you didn’t hesitate when you attacked.” Feng bujue turned around and said.
“I saw that you couldn’t hold on much longer, so I came to help you.” RUO Yu said coldly,”besides … I wasn’t sure what would happen if you did that.”
“Okay.” Feng bujue opened his arms and turned to Xiao Tan.”Er … Xiao Tan, how’s your injury?”
While brother Jue and RUO Yu were ‘pulling out the monster’, Xiao Tan was not idle. He had used the gauze and tape on the lab table to apply emergency treatment to his wound and stop the bleeding.
“It hurts …” Xiao Tan’s answer was very direct.”But my life Points are not dropping anymore, and my movement is not affected much.” After saying that, he sighed.”Sigh … Now that I think about it, I was too careless just now. In that situation, there was indeed a high possibility of triggering a dangerous plot, but I overlooked this point and directly showed you the soap box. If only I had been more careful and waited until all the dirty water had flowed away, or if I had taken a few steps back before talking to everyone, I wouldn’t have …”
“No… I’m also responsible.” At this time, Xiao Gui suddenly interrupted Xiao Tan and said,”the moment the hand appeared, I was shocked again … With my normal reaction speed, I should have been able to grab that hand faster. At the very least … I could have turned the flashlight in my hand and aimed it at it. That way … You wouldn’t have been so badly injured, and you might not even have been injured.”
“Eh~your train of thought is quite clear this time.” Hearing that, Feng bujue turned to ghost hunter and smiled.”Not bad, not bad … You’re worth teaching …”
“Stop being so long-winded. Even if I really wanted to find a life mentor, I definitely wouldn’t look for you.” Xiao Gui rolled his eyes at brother Jue and said,”His tone was very subtle when he said this. To give an inappropriate example, it was as if he was saying “no meeting”…
“Hehe … I didn’t plan to be anyone’s life mentor.” Feng bujue laughed.”Oh, by the way, if you’re really looking for someone, I think ‘smoking and drinking hot’ would be a good fit …” Brother Jue immediately made fun of brother Chan.”Just from that sentence of his,’don’t look at me like this now, I was like this in the past’… I can tell that this is a man with a story.”
“Alright, who was the one who said we had to save the power of the flashlight? How long are you two going to continue this?” An Yueqin was still a reliable person. She knew very well that if brother Jue was in his sarcastic mode, this conversation would not end …
“Okay, okay~since the monsters are dead, let’s continue looking for clues.” After that, Feng bujue walked to the lab table and unhesitatingly opened the soapbox that Xiao Tan had placed on the table.
The thing in the box was really outrageous …
“Why …” When the demon ghost saw that thing, he immediately read,”why is there a dead frog in there …”
His question was quickly answered.
[Please dissect this frog according to the instructions in the lecture Notes within 20 minutes] the system prompt sounded as the frog appeared.
At the same time, one of the drawers that could not be opened around the experiment table suddenly popped out. Without a doubt … The “Lecture Notes” mentioned in the hint were in this drawer.
“Well … This time, the system directly gave us a clear instruction, unlike the ‘ghost’ in the music room just now.” Feng bujue touched his chin and mumbled,”is this because the ‘ghost’ in this cla.s.sroom has already been made into Italy by us?”
“Hey! Is this the time to be concerned about that?” The demon ghost’s face changed when he heard the prompt. He raised his voice.”I used to dissect frogs in biology cla.s.s. I remember it took me an hour and a half to finish it!”
“You are you …” Feng bujue said and looked at Xiao Tan with a proud gaze.”We have a professional here.”
Xiao Ling, who was beside him, was even more straightforward. Before brother Jue could finish, she had already taken out the lecture Notes from the drawer and spread them out before Xiao Tan.
“Good luck.” Xiao Ling nudged Xiao Tan’s arm.”But don’t force yourself if your wound hurts. I can help you.”
“Ha … There’s no need for that.” When Xiao Tan said that, his eyes and presence … Suddenly changed.”When it comes to dissection, I can do it with my feet …”
