Monster Escape Room Re-Employment Chapter 26
byTrue colors revealed (2)
Jiang Lingyi returned to the empty apartment. Although he would probably find it “lively” when he took off his glasses, at this moment he just wanted to close his eyes and fall into a deep sleep, looking for Lou Xian in the chaotic dream.
I haven’t seen him for a while. According to Pang Mei, the last incident caused him to lose a lot of mana and he was recuperating in an illusion space without seeing anyone.This situation is really worrying, but no one showed any panic, indicating that survival is not yet at stake.
Jiang Lingyi had no real feelings about the fact that he had become an inhuman creature. After all, his physical structure and appearance had not changed much. Ghosts could also be seen through spiritual vision, and magic could not be released by making a hand seal like in the TV series.
It seems that because the energy of the Yin-Yang Separation Formation is originally drawn from human beings, there will be no abnormal reactions when returned to human bodies. This is unintentional.
Jiang Lingyi didn’t know if Lou Xian was deliberately avoiding him, so he could only place his hope in dreams. He hoped to go to the subway that was like a living thing again, like that time.
Although there was no basis for it, he knew that he would return to that place sooner or later.
If the so-called healthy love fails to make Lou Xian’s heart stay here…then let’s have a real moral kidnapping and use Lou Xian’s tenderness and guilt.To be able to do whatever it takes to achieve a huge desire that cannot be realized, and to give up without hesitation the happiness that shines like stars on the other side of the scale, this is the nature of Jiang Lingyi, a despicable man.
With this determination in mind, he fell into sleep.
…
In an endless wilderness, it seemed that only the spreading scorched earth-colored earth and a vast white sky were left between the sky and the earth.
Somewhere on the earth, there are sparse black dots scattered.When I looked closer, I saw people kneeling on the ground.
Each of them seemed to be enveloped in great despair. Some were so thin that they were inhuman shape, some were blinded by tears, some were holding shriveled swaddling clothes, and some were dragging their disabled legs, walking on their knees in the wilderness…
They bowed their heads, praying and pleading to something invisible.
“Asura Snake…please listen to my wish…”
“With a body like mine, I really can’t fight against those strong men and protect important people. Please, please do whatever you can…”
“Swallow my flesh and blood, accept my soul, let me provide you with nutrients, and merge with you…”
“Let me be your snake belly——”
“——Lord Lou Xian.”
Jiang Lingyi suddenly opened her eyes and found herself sitting in an empty subway car. The roar of wheels on the track echoed in her ears. Outside the window was the scenery of the urban area passing by. It seemed to be a ground light rail section.
Snake belly.
The word stuck clearly in his mind.
If I remember correctly, Luo Su also mentioned that he thought Jiang Lingyi was Lou Xian’s “snake.”
While he was deep in thought, the subway drove underground and the carriage became dark for a moment.
When the lights came on again, a skeleton-like old man sat on the seat next to him.
“We meet again.” The old man smiled at him.
“Hello…” Jiang Lingyi greeted somewhat cautiously.
Silence spread quietly, and he realized that the old man was patiently waiting for him to speak.
“Old man, are you and the other people I met last time… all Lou Xian’s scheming collaborators?”
“Yes,” he replied calmly and kindly.
The so-called snake belly is a living sacrifice that sacrifices itself to the snake of Shura.
Using oneself as a sacrifice is a characteristic of evil in other worlds, and it is also a target that needs to be severely punished.
Therefore, those who pray to evil spirits are also desperate people who have their own difficulties and are not tolerated by the right path.
The Shura Snake has always been fair and responsive to requests. As long as you pay the price of being devoured, the sacrifice’s wishes will come true.
A life that has been devoured from body to soul will never be able to gain liberation. It cannot survive in the belly of a snake body, just like a child that cannot be born.
Become a snake’s belly.
together forever.
The big stone in Jiang Lingyi’s heart finally fell steadily, and she even felt a hint of joy.
It turns out that you can still die for love like this.
He couldn’t help but smile back at the old man: “Then, here is -”
Inside his body?
The old man shook his head: “This is a dream, a kind of projection illusion. It is not really inside Lou Xian’s body.”
“Then do you know how to meet him?”
The old man nodded. At this time, the subway arrived at the station, and a standard female announcer announced the station.
“Huangquan Station, we’re here, open the left door…”
The old man stood up, and Jiang Lingyi immediately stood up with him and walked out of the car door.
Outside the carriage was a very empty subway hall. Perhaps because there were only two of them, the place seemed deeper and vaster than in reality, almost like a huge underground tomb.
There was a huge thing not far away. Jiang Lingyi didn’t wear glasses and his eyesight was not very good, so he couldn’t see clearly. He just walked towards it instinctively.
It was metallic silver-white, with a faint green light, and was very long, perhaps as long as a subway car. Jiang Lingyi originally thought so. It was another train parked in the station.
As I got closer, I discovered that the “carriage” was covered with dense scales, reflecting a cold and psychedelic light.
The scales undulated slightly, as if they were making waves, like the breathing of some kind of creature.
He walked toward the direction of the front of the car and saw the snake’s head.
And those slender pupils that were as beautiful as amber in the dim light.
He stretched his neck, raised his head, and looked down at the tiny human being in front of him.
No matter how deep the love is, it will be gone the moment you see this terrifying gesture.
He clearly saw that Jiang Lingyi stopped and showed a confused expression.
That’s right…that’s fine.
What you are attached to is nothing more than a monster in human skin.
Kick, kick, kick, Jiang Lingyi suddenly started running.
As he ran, he spread his arms, as if he couldn’t wait to welcome something——
Like a speck of dust falling on his body, his arms couldn’t hold the whole snake, but he just tried his best to convey the meaning of hug.
“It’s great that you’re okay…”
The choked words passed through the human body temperature and passed into the gaps between the cold snake scales.
“I’ve always wanted to see you and confirm your safety…!!”
“I know you have your own ideas, I just hope you – please don’t avoid me.”
“…”
What’s going on?The big snake blinked.
Jiang Lingyi also raised her head in confusion: “…Did I admit the wrong person? Impossible?”
“…No.”
His train of thought was almost taken astray, and Lou Xian could only express his doubts without being mentally prepared.
“You don’t have any ideas when you see me like this?”
“What do you think?” Jiang Lingyi repeated blankly, and then reacted, “Ah, are you talking about your prototype… Although I am a little surprised, it’s just because it’s beautiful.”
Lou Xian was speechless and choked again.
Why does this human being’s reaction exceed his expectations every time?Always easily disrupting his rhythm?
“You said beautiful…I know very well that I am not beautiful according to human aesthetics, right?”
“Ah, it’s not that kind of beautiful.” Jiang Lingyi scratched her head, “I mean, it feels like, ‘Wow, this is really amazing~’.”
If I had to say it, it would be the same as seeing a python with beautiful patterns.
However, Lou Xian is still a great evil spirit from another world, and rashly comparing him to a snake in the zoo may make him angry.
“…That’s it?” Lou Xian couldn’t believe it and muttered in a low voice, “Where is my majesty…?”
It only took Jiang Lingyi about three minutes to imagine the scene of being swallowed by Lou Xian. When he listened to the old man’s description, he was worried about what to do if Lou Xian was too small and got stuck in his esophagus. But seeing how big it was, he felt relieved.
Compared to the inhuman body, Jiang Lingyi’s thinking was one step ahead and far away from human thoughts.
“Am I a snake belly now?”
“No.”
“You deny it so quickly…” Jiang Lingyi smiled, “I said, if I make a wish to you, will you agree?”
“…Please don’t embarrass me.”
“You’re kidding~ There should be no wifi in your body~”
Jiang Lingyi was not completely unafraid of this gesture, but the fear was well concealed by him.
Lou Xian slowly moved his body, coiled up into a silver hill, gently rolled up Jiang Lingyi with his tail, and let him sit on his body, which made it easier to talk.
“Well, I said I would explain it to you personally…”
Jiang Lingyi nodded and gently stroked the snow-wave-like scales beside her.
It’s really beautiful.
Jiang Lingyi already knew about the snake belly through the old man.
As for Luo Su, he is Lou Xian’s “apprentice”.He originally did not accept disciples, but one day, Luo Su’s grandfather, who was also his only family member, begged Lou Xian to become a snake belly. In contrast, he hoped that Lou Xian could take Luo Su as his disciple, take care of him, and let him learn how to survive.
Luo Su became the only living thing around Lou Xian during that time. He watched the infant baby grow day by day and taught him knowledge, livelihood skills and some basic spells that did not involve evil magic.
Soon after, Luo Su went out to explore. Unlike Xie Sui, who was hiding in the world, he was just an ordinary person and could move freely in the outside world.Taking this opportunity, he established a sect called the Snake of Shura. Perhaps he was sincerely grateful, or perhaps motivated by interests.
However, Lou Xian was unaware of all this, which ultimately brought him the disaster of exile.
Only when Lei Yu, who was in charge of the trial, came to visit, did Lou Xian know how many heinous crimes the “Snake of Shura” had committed in the outside world.
And the one who took the lead in accusing him was Luo Su.
Luo Su complained in tears about how he had been coerced by Lou Xian since he was a child and was forced to serve and learn evil practices around him. Those appalling evil deeds were all instructed by Lou Xian. He used his grandfather’s soul as a threat to force him to do these things.
Even if Lou Xian has a way to prove his innocence, the existence of Snake Belly is evil in itself.
Normally, it is enough to hide in silence, but when the trouble comes to this level, Lei Yu cannot easily tolerate it.
So, without having a good talk with Luo Su, Lou Xian and his subordinates who followed him voluntarily were thrown to the earth.
“Being an evil spirit in your place is really like engaging in a gray industry…”
This was Jiang Lingyi’s first sentence after hearing the whole story.
“…” Lou Xian was unable to complain.
If you think about it carefully, Jiang Lingyi is this kind of person.It looks very smart, but sometimes it is very off-line.
There was originally a somewhat heavy atmosphere, but his remark about making a fortune made it a mess.
“If I were you, once I’d been betrayed, I’d probably never trust anyone again.”
“Generally speaking, that’s the case… However, I have never felt angry about Luo Su’s betrayal from beginning to end.” Lou Xian was a little confused, “On the contrary, after he hurt you, I… couldn’t suppress my hatred for him.”
Jiang Lingyi was stunned, and suddenly started beating his chest and stamping his feet.
What a shame, this is a dreamland and there are no mobile phones to record.
However, being confessed like this by an evil spirit in a dream is a rare experience.
