Chapter 123 – Temple of the Five Internal Organs 13

“Wuuu!” 

The medical student only felt a stab, as if an awl had pierced his chest. He immediately covered his chest and bent down, screaming nonstop.

Lian Qiao protected RenDong behind him and held the medical student in front of them, staring straight at a large rock several meters away.

The color of this stone was very similar to that of the wasteland and it is not noticeable at first glance, so it is very suitable for hiding. Lian Qiao has noticed it for a long time, so he has been vigilant. Only in this way could he be so quick with his reflexes and pull the medical student to block the knife at the critical moment.

RenDong was guarded by Lian Qiao and was still standing a little unsteady. He narrowed his eyes and stared at the big rock with Lian Qiao. He whispered, “The gentleman?”

Lian Qiao didn’t answer but called to the big stone, “Come out!”

Before the person behind the stone came out, he made a low sigh. Even if RenDong turned to ash he would still recognize this voice. It was undoubtedly the gentleman.

They saw the gentleman slowly walk out from behind the stone, with rags flying all over his body. At first glance, he looked like a bloody man. Thinking about it, he had been lying in ambush behind the stone for a long time and the holes were forcibly scraped by the wind blade.

His face was also blurred with blood but his voice was still polite: “Hello, we meet again.”

Lian Qiao’s eyes fell on his hand and sneered: “A nail gun?” 

The gentleman raised the object in his hand and smiled happily: “Yes, it’s a nail gun. The firing speed is 500 meters per second, it is difficult for you to escape.”

Hearing this, RenDong was a little curious about the living situation of the medical student. He bent down and patted the medical student’s back and asked, “Are you still alive?” 

The medical student clutched his chest and shook his head in pain. RenDong just turned over his body and saw the large bloodstain where he was covering with his hands. It seems that the nail really hit his chest, causing a lot of damage.

RenDong shoved the medicine he had just taken into the medical student’s hand. Seeing that it was a painkiller, the medical student was stunned for a moment and a very complicated emotion flashed in his eyes.

RenDong didn’t think much about it and once again turned his attention to the gentleman.

The gentleman said with a smile: “When in front of an enemy, you are still thinking about taking care of the traitor. You are really a good person.

“Stop wasting time.” Lian Qiao clutched the crowbar, while being slashed on all sides by the wind blade. “What do you want?”

The gentleman raised his hands in a gesture of surrender and smiled, “Don’t be nervous, I have no ill intentions.”

Lian Qiao glanced at the half-dead medical student and said, “You two are really from the same school of thought. After hurting people, you still have the face to say that you have no malicious intentions.” 

The gentleman sighed: “Just now I did but I really don’t any more.”

They heard a “pop” sound. The gentlemen threw the nail gun from his hand to the ground voluntarily and then helplessly shrugged: “I’m not trying to hide it. As you can see, my nails have been used up. You have three people and I only have one. I can never beat you in an empty-handed fight. So it’s better for me to come out and negotiate.”

Xu RenDong couldn’t help showing a little surprise after hearing this.

He looked at the gentleman as if he did not recognize him. Thinking about it carefully, it was probably because his face was covered in blood and the wind blade hurt his throat and his voice was hoarse, so the gentleman didn’t realize that they were mortal enemies.

In this way, perhaps the gentleman is really here to negotiate.

At this moment, RenDong suddenly felt that something touched his palm. Looking down, it turned out to be the pale medical student, his lips moved and he said something silently.

Lian Qiao didn’t notice the small movements of the people behind him. He sneered at the gentleman: “Since you are already helpless, why should I cooperate with you?” He pointed to the dying medical student, “He is still alive. Not only that but he is obedient, can be a meat shield  and can also cure diseases. What about you? What use are you?”

The gentleman noticed his contempt and hostility but didn’t take it personally. He still smiled humbly and said politely: “Although I can’t cure diseases, I am also a veteran player who has cleared several levels. When it comes to being useful, I think brains are more important than a meat shield right? Not to mention…” He rolled his eyes, his eyes fell on Xu RenDong and the corner of his mouth smiled even more, “Not to mention this friend was seriously injured. The road ahead is not to walk. With me at your side, you can spend your concentration on taking care of him. Isn’t it the best of both worlds?”

Lian Qiao glanced at the half-dead medical student and nodded: “Indeed. This knife was stabbed by that idiotic boy. I should stab him to death for revenge.” 

The medical student was horrified . He was shocked to see Lian Qiao moving his wrists and wanted to ask for mercy, but then he saw Lian Qiao glance back at the gentleman. Lian Qiao  said indifferently: “Unfortunately, I don’t like you either!” 

Before he finished speaking, Lian Qiao had already jumped out like a cheetah!

No one expected that Lian Qiao would suddenly attack at this time. The gentleman opened his eyes suddenly and subconsciously stepped back to dodge. However, Lian Qiao’s explosiveness was astonishing and he rushed in front of him in three or two steps. The crowbar was raised high and it swung in front of the gentleman in an instant.

However, a cold light suddenly burst out in the air!

RenDong exclaimed: “Lian Qiao be careful!”

Only a dull sound was heard, as if a sharp weapon had pierced into the flesh. Lian Qiao’s movements froze and the whole person instantly stood on the spot like an ice sculpture.

The next second, he fell straight back. His eyes were wide open and a steel nail was embedded between his eyebrows!

The gentleman held the second nail gun he pulled out of nowhere, raised his foot, and kicked Lian Qiao’s body. The steel nails gleamed with silver light and fresh blood poured out from the blood hole between the eyebrows. Lian Qiao turned his eyes up and didn’t move, and he died suddenly on the spot!

“Lian Qiao!” RenDong let out a cry that was almost a scream. He ignored the wound on his waist, crawled to Lian Qiao’s side with his hands and feet and hugged his body tremblingly.

Lian Qiao’s body was terribly heavy and his limbs were as soft and heavy as they were filled with mercury. Xu RenDong was heartbroken, holding him to cry tearlessly.

In a trance, Xu RenDong was suddenly picked up by the collar. He struggled subconsciously and accidentally tore the wound on his lower back, causing him to curl up in pain.

A big cold hand caressed his cheek and wiped it indiscriminately. Then there was a chuckle above his head.

“Sure enough, it’s you.” 

The gentleman smiled and looked at the desperately struggling RenDong, as if he were looking at an energetic prey. RenDong knew that he had no way out, so he turned his heart away, pulled out the knife in his lower back with his backhand and stabbed toward the gentleman’s eyes.

“Heh.” The gentleman chuckled lightly, dodging the desperate blow with ease.

He threw Xu RenDong on the ground like a torn sack. Xu RenDong fell heavily to the ground, and his internal organs were convulsed in pain.

His back felt smooth and greasy and it was unknown how much blood was shed. The late pain occupied all of his brain and he tried his best not to faint. As for fighting? He couldn’t think at all.

It hurts… It hurts…

When he was occupied by severe pain, from his ears that kept ringing he heard a vague question and answer. Those words were light but, like a heavy hammer, they slammed hard on his heart that was about to shatter.

“Can you still feel more pain?”

“You can still feel more pain.”

Xu RenDong’s eyes darkened. A dark shadow pressed down and sat on his chest, pressing down on his lungs and making him unable to breathe. He struggled instinctively and suddenly felt his wrist get cold. Something hard pressed against his wrist.

Snap!

–it hurts!

“Uh…” Xu RenDong was too sore to make much of a sound, so he could only squeeze out a wailing from the depths of his throat. There was a piercing pain in the middle of his wrist. He tried desperately to withdraw his hand but found that his wrist had been pinned to the ground.

A steel nail pierced his wrist.

The diabolical whisper sounded again.

“You can still feel more pain, you can still feel more pain…”

Snap. Snap. Snap. Snap. Snap.

Elbows, shoulders.

Then the wrist, elbow, shoulder on the other side.

The gentleman fired a total of six shots and nailed both Xu RenDong’s arms to the ground. The steel nails more than ten centimeters long penetrated deep into the bones, penetrated the flesh, and spattered blood all over the place. Xu RenDong was in so much pain that he spasmed and every twitch of his body would affect the nailed place, making him almost collapse in pain. HE could even beg for death.

Tears had already washed away the blood on RenDong’s face. His expression was distorted and didn’t even look human. The gentleman looked at him carefully like a work of art, savoring every bit of his pain.

“…!” Xu RenDong suddenly felt something hot on his lips and suddenly opened his eyes wide.

The gentleman actually- was kissing him!

He turned his head desperately, trying to avoid the disgusting kiss. The gentleman squeezed his chin tightly, sucking the smell of blood on his lips greedily.

Xu RenDong’s hands and feet were firmly nailed and there was a heart-piercing pain when he moved. There were a lot of tears in his eyes all of a sudden, and the already beautiful eyes were heavily painted with a layer of brutal beauty.

A rough tongue licked the corners of his eyes. The gentleman tasted his tears mixed with blood and his eyes gradually showed a drug-like intoxication.

“Ah… you can still…” 

The nail gun moved down slowly, aiming at Xu RenDong’s stomach. Xu RenDong had already anticipated what would happen next. He gasped for breath, staring at the sky with dull eyes and even lost the strength to moan.

All of a sudden.

“Bang!” 

A loud noise exploded from above!

The gentleman’s head tilted and then his whole person was tilted to one side. He toppled off  RenDong and fell heavily to the ground. His body twitched and then he stopped moving.

Then, there were several loud noises.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

One by one, like the sound of metal hitting the bone. Mixed with the sound of blood splashing, it was soft and sticky, disgusting.

Xu RenDong turned his head to the side with difficulty and saw a familiar figure who was wielding a crowbar fiercely and desperately.

“Lian…Qiao…” he called in a hoarse voice.

Lian Qiao’s eyes were red and didn’t seem to hear at all. He just kept smashing at the gentleman, until the gentleman’s skull shattered and his brain spattered, until the head and neck were completely separated, and until the rotten flesh on the ground could no longer be seen as a human figure. Even then, he did not stop.

Flesh, brains and bone splattered all over his face, but he didn’t notice it at all. He just continued to mechanically destroy the gentleman’s body.

At this time, Lian Qiao was full of murderous aura and he had turned into an Asura. There was only hatred in his eyes.

RenDong only felt that his eyelids were getting heavier. His lips moved but he no longer had the strength to call out to him. A man stumbled not far away, pushed Lian Qiao hard and Lian Qiao fell to the ground.

“Enough! How long do you want to whip the corpse!” The medical student pointed at RenDong and roared at Lian Qiao, “He’s dying! Come and see him first!”

Lian Qiao fell to the ground and, in a trance, raised his face. He didn’t seem to understand what the medical student was saying until the medical student took him to Xu RenDong. He looked down and saw the pale face of RenDong. Then he woke up like a dream and climbed to the side of RenDong, trembling.

“Hold on… RenDong…” Lian Qiao’s voice was fighting, trying to pick him up but he found that both his arms were nailed to the ground. His heart couldn’t help tearing and while trembling, he tried to use the crowbar to pry at the nails, “You hold on… hold on, I’ll take you out!”

Xu RenDong’s lips twitched. He wanted to say ‘I’m in pain, just let me die.’ But seeing Lian Qiao’s face full of blood and tears, he couldn’t say anything.

Lian Qiao suddenly remembered something and hurriedly said to the medical student: “Did you give him the doll he stuffed me with just now?” 

The medical student nodded with a solemn expression: “But…”

“Do you have anything else!” Lian Qiao interrupted him eagerly, “Any other props? Tell me what you have on your body!” 

The medical student sighed heavily: “No, I really don’t have any more. With such a doll, I just want to repay my favor… I didn’t expect that he would give it to you.”

Lian Qiao bit his lip fiercely, turned his head and threw himself at the gentleman again.

The medical student frowned and said, “Calm down! What’s the use of revenge now!…Huh?”

He thought Lian Qiao was in a hurry and wanted to continue whipping the corpse, but he didn’t expect Lian Qiao to start feeling up the gentlemen from top to bottom. Apparently he was looking to see if the gentleman still had a doll.

But Lian Qiao found nothing but a box of nails.

The last hope was broken again and Lian Qiao’s face turned ashen.

The medical student sighed again. Just now, at the juncture of life and death, RenDong handed him a bottle of painkillers, which moved him greatly. He thought that he didn’t have much fighting power, so he might as well take a gamble on Big Boss RenDon. He secretly gave the only doll in his collection to RenDong. Unexpectedly, RenDong gave Lian Qiao the doll. This enabled Lian Qiao to resurrect on the spot and kill the gentleman.

Unfortunately, there weren’t any more dolls. They had no choice, and Xu RenDong couldn’t be saved.

“I’ll take you out… I’ll definitely take you out…” Lian Qiao repeated like a murmur, carrying the RenDong on his back and walking forward.

Even with his little medical knowledge, the medical student knew that RenDong wouldn’t last long. He wanted to persuade Lian Qiao to stop fussing and say goodbye to RenDong. But Lian Qiao couldn’t hear it. He cut out the gentleman’s internal organs cleanly and threw them to the medical students, then stubbornly carried the RenDong on his back and started running into the wilderness.

The sharp knives in the wind seemed to be denser, wiping the corner of Lian Qiao’s eyes several times. Lian Qiao didn’t duck as though he couldn’t feel pain, letting the wind blade scrape his cheek, stab his lung and even cut off half of his earlobe.

The medical student followed closely behind, holding a bag of bloody internal organs, trembling with fear. Lian Qiao’s half ear that was cut off almost slapped him on the face. He was scared to death. He just thought that this person was crazy and really didn’t care about his life.

He didn’t know how Lian Qiao was able to identify the direction in the wilderness. After running for more than half an hour, a black door appeared in front of the two of them. The word “winter” was written in characters, indicating the end of this level.

Lian Qiao snatched the internal organs from the medical student and threw the lungs, intestines and other viscera at the door. Blood splashed everywhere and the stench of blood choked the medical student out of breath.

The door seemed to sense something. When the internal organs slid down the door, bit by bit, they swallowed the lungs.

The rest of the internal organs slid to the ground and piled up into a small mountain of dark red meat.

The black door opened slowly and behind the door was still an unpredictable mist. The medical student had seen this scene four times but, at this time, he was inexplicably shocked.

Lian Qiao glanced at him and said, “Let’s go.” 

The medical student was in a complicated mood and raised his hand to probe the breath of the man on Lian Qiao’s back. Surprisingly, Xu RenDong was still breathing. Although weak, he was  indeed alive.

…will he survive to the next exit?

Can he survive until the next unlucky person comes along to donate his kidneys?

The medical student was hesitant and finally did not have the courage to take that step. After all, they have been delayed by the lungs for so long, and so far they have not encountered other players. But the kidney level will still need a kidney. Where does this kidney come from?

“Don’t worry.” Lian Qiao seemed to see through his thoughts and said coldly, “We can use mine. Let’s go.”
