1989 The strange house (1)
Seeing the dense arrows on the tree, the emaciated woman’s body trembled slightly. She imagined the appearance of being shot by these arrows and felt a chill run down her spine.
This crossbow was so powerful. The hand crossbow he had seen before couldn’t be compared to it at all.
However, her eyes lit up in the next moment. If she had this weapon, she would have enough power to protect herself in the future.
Even when facing other desperators or even night patrollers, he did not have to run and hide like he used to.
However, the problem was, would Tang Zhen really give him such a powerful weapon?
Just as this thought rose in her heart, she saw Tang Zhen turn around and casually throw the strange crossbow into her arms.
“This crossbow can be fired at a single target, but it can also be fired in a row. There are thirty arrows inside.
It belongs to you now. Go and retrieve the crossbow bolts on the tree. Remember not to waste them.”
Upon hearing Tang Zhen’s words, the thin and weak lady lowered her head to look at the repeating crossbow in her bosom. It was as though she had just woken up from a dream.
He quickly nodded and ran to the tree like a deer in joy. He pulled out the arrows one by one with great effort.
Tang Zhen involuntarily laughed softly after seeing this scene. His heart was thinking about the time when he had just created this repeating crossbow. Some memories suddenly appeared in his mind.
This crossbow was not designed and made by him. He had seen something similar before, so when he saw the painting of the thin woman, he suddenly had a similar memory.
Tang Zhen was certain that this thought that had suddenly appeared was definitely related to his lost memories. It had only suddenly appeared after he had come into contact with the related things.
It seemed that if he wanted to recover his past memories, he would need to come into contact with more people and more things.
Tang Zhen had already made his plans. He was going to take action now.
The emaciated woman had already pulled out all the crossbow arrows and was now putting them back into the arrow chamber, her face full of expectation.
“Alright, you can leave now.”
Tang Zhen said to the thin lady. While the other party was in a daze, he turned around and walked toward the building with a bright entrance.
The emaciated lady revealed an anxious expression when she saw this. She hurriedly rushed in front of Tang Zhen and extended her arms to block his path. “What’s wrong with you? I’ve already told you that the house is very dangerous. Why did you still go in?”
Tang Zhen used a strange expression to look at the thin woman. At the same time, he extended his hand and pressed her head, gently pushing it to the side.
“Who are you? Why are you interfering in my business?”
The emaciated woman was stunned when she heard this. She hesitated for a moment and said, ” “I want to hang out with you, so I’m qualified to give you suggestions to prevent you from making unnecessary mistakes.
Besides, I know more about the city of despair than you do. You’re just a newcomer, so you should accept my suggestion!”
The emaciated woman spoke eloquently, as if it was only natural.
Tang Zhen did not know whether to laugh or cry. He looked at the thin and weak woman who had once again blocked his path and used a somewhat helpless tone to say,”First of all, I didn’t agree for you to follow me, so we have no relationship.
Moreover, even though you’ve been in the city of despair longer than I have, that doesn’t mean anything.
I’m going to take a look at the house and find out what’s going on here, so don’t stop me, understand?”
Seeing the cold glint that flashed in Tang Zhen’s eyes, the emaciated lady’s heart trembled. She could not help but open up a path.
Tang Zhen held the saber that he had created with his will. The saber that he had originally used had turned into a cylinder and was now hanging at a position that he could easily touch at his waist.
Just as he reached the door of the building, a series of footsteps sounded behind him. The emaciated woman had caught up with him again.
Tang Zhen’s brows were slightly raised. He looked at the thin and weak lady, wanting to see what exactly she was up to.
“I can’t take your things for free. Since you insist on entering this room, I’ll go with you. At least I’m more experienced than you.”
Tang Zhen laughed softly when he heard the thin lady’s words. He extended his hand towards her.
Under her puzzled gaze, a two-foot-long slender battle blade quickly took shape. It was then handed over to the thin woman by Tang Zhen.
“Since you want to follow me, I won’t stop you. Take this saber with you for self-defense.”
The emaciated woman didn’t stand on ceremony. She directly took the short knife and inserted it into the belt on her waist.
After which, she took a deep breath and looked at Tang Zhen with a determined gaze as though she was prepared to enter the battlefield.
“Let’s go, I’m ready!”
Tang Zhen smiled and shook his head when he saw the serious expression of the thin woman. Soon after, he slowly turned around and extended his hand to push open the door in front of him.
A ray of light shot out from the room and shone on their faces. Looking at the scene in the room, Tang Jing’s eyes narrowed slightly.
After a few seconds, he smiled and entered with his knife.
The emaciated lady’s body trembled slightly. However, she still clenched her teeth and followed behind Tang Zhen. They walked into the room together.
There were a few huge candles in the room, but they looked very strange.
It was as if a living person was thrown into a wax pot and then wrapped in wax. A long lamp wick was inserted into a mouth that was wide open because of the pain.
This was human wax.
The candlelight flickered, emitting a dark green light that illuminated the entire room, but it also gave people a feeling of eeriness and horror.
In the corner of the room, there was a dining table, and on both sides of the table, there were figures sitting, seemingly enjoying dinner.
These people looked like puppets with no expression on their faces. When Tang Zhen and the thin woman pushed the door open and entered, these figures turned their heads in unison.
we have a new guest. Let’s stand up and welcome him!
An old woman sitting closest to the outside revealed a smile that made one’s scalp tingle. A baby-like voice came out of her mouth.
“Welcome!”
The figures at the table stood up one by one. There were men and women, old and young, and they all showed fake smiles and clapped to welcome him.
Tang Zhen’s gaze swept over these human figures. Finally, it landed on a chair at the corner of the dining table. There, he saw the dwarf who had entered the room earlier.
At this moment, the dwarf’s face was filled with fear. The eyes that he used to look at Tang Zhen were actually filled with pain and fear as if he was asking for help.
Unfortunately, the dwarf could no longer speak, because his tongue had been cut off and was placed on a plate on the table.
Other than his tongue, a few of his limbs and a palm had been cut off and were all served as food on the table.
One of the family members, who looked like a child, had a wriggling wrist in his mouth and was chewing on it.
A soft sound came from behind him. The door suddenly closed automatically and then disappeared.
Tang Zhen did not even turn his head around. He merely used his calm gaze to size up this strange family in front of him.
The emaciated lady’s body was still trembling. This was especially so after the door was suddenly closed. She subconsciously walked behind Tang Zhen as though she would only feel a sense of security by doing so.
“The guest must not have had dinner yet, please join us!
Please don’t reject our good intentions. It’s very impolite and will make us very unhappy!”
The old woman said emotionlessly with a sinister smile. As soon as she finished speaking, the table automatically extended a meter.
Two chairs emerged from the ground and were placed on both sides of the table. Then, the old woman made an invitation.
The other family members stood on the spot and stared at Tang Zhen without blinking. Their eyes seemed to contain a trace of threat.
“I can’t refuse your hospitality, thank you for your hospitality!”
Tang Zhen’s voice had just sounded when he took a step forward and sat on one of the chairs. At the same time, he waved his hand at the thin lady.
After the emaciated woman sat down, the strange family members showed the same smile and sat back in their chairs.
hey, why don’t our guests have any food? that’s so rude.
The old woman shook her head. She seemed to be very unhappy. After she said this, she raised her head and looked straight at Tang Zhen.
“I have a question that I hope you can answer. If you answer correctly, you will be rewarded.
If you answer incorrectly, I’ll take something from you. I’m sure you’ll want to try it. ”
