Chapter 527 Old Woman
When Anzi saw Ranran stop, he looked directly into Ranran's calm eyes. He had not given up showing his determination to participate in the battle.
Ran Ran just looked at him speechlessly.
There was no need to take action at all. After a while, Anzi's face quickly heated up, and his face and ears became red.
Ran Ran couldn't help but think that she would have an inexplicable liking for Anzai. Would Anzai have the same feeling as her?
Are the two of them a pair of characters bound by the system in this world?
Anzai felt that he was so hot that his head was steaming, but he still stared at Ranran stubbornly.
Ran Ran held back her laughter, "When you have a weapon, I will definitely call you when I fight."
After Anzi heard this, his eyes immediately became bright.
Ranran suddenly stopped and said softly: "Now you can make a contribution. Help me go to the warehouse and get all the candles."
"Do you remember the road? The warehouse is right in this corridor."
Only then did Anzi realize that they had not walked out at all, but had walked to a door. He didn't ask any questions, and obediently followed Ran Ran's instructions to go to the warehouse to get candles.
Ran Ran's eyes were fixed on the wooden door in front of her, a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes, and with a strong force, she actually smashed the lock with her fist.
It is indeed a digital world.
A rolling pin can break gems, and a fist can break a door lock, because everything is measured by attack value only.
Pushing the door open and entering, Ran Ran discovered that this was a very girl's room.
On the left near the door is a very tall wardrobe with many paintings on it. Next to the wardrobe is a large dressing table filled with girls' gadgets.
The door is facing the window. The pink curtains are pulled up, and you can see the ivy on the house very close to the opposite side.
On the right is a large bed with a pure white bedspread from top to bottom, with some lovely lace.
Ran Ran saw the old woman lying on the bed.
Her feet and neck were tightly restrained by the iron chains connected to the bed. The joint between her skin and the shackles was bruised and bloody, and the quilt underneath her body was grabbed by both hands in a horrible way.
Through these traces, Ran Ran can probably imagine her crazy appearance after turning into a monster.
But at this time, the old woman just lay there quietly, even her breathing was inaudible.
After Ran Ran determined that there was a mother-child connection between the king insect and the larvae, she knew that the old woman would not survive, but this small concern was not enough to stop Ran Ran from attacking the king insect.
Don't say that the person who died after the attack was the old woman who kindly took her in for the night, even if the person who died was Anzi, who was her mutual companion, Ran Ran would not hesitate for a moment.
The reason why the old woman is still alive is just because the worms in her body are fully mature and living in her body. They will not die immediately without a host like the larvae, so they can struggle for a while longer.
But the mature larvae are only at the end of their efforts after the death of the king worm.
Once the worms in the old woman's body are completely dead, she will die too.
Ran Ran walked forward and saw her closing her eyes peacefully.
"I've finished more than half of my work in this city." Ran Ran spoke softly.
The old woman opened her eyes with difficulty and looked at her, and said weakly: "It's you, thank you..."
Her tone no longer had the coldness and seriousness before.
In the darkness, Ran Ran saw tears rolling down from the corners of the old woman's eyes.
That was relief and gratitude. Ran Ran asked in a low voice: "Since it's so painful, why not get rid of it sooner?"
There were two completely opposite looks of pain and happiness in the old woman's eyes at the same time.
"I can't" she said with difficulty.
She looked into Ran Ran’s calm and clear eyes and began to tell her story intermittently.
"I have a daughter, she is the cutest existence in the world." The old woman breathed hard, but at this time her face was filled with pure happiness.
“Living with her, I am extremely happy every day.”
"Maybe I got too much happiness, and God decided to take it back."
The old woman paused and continued: "Our place used to not be called Gemstone Flower City but Iwen'er City, which means For ordinary happiness."
"One day, a man in the city presented many beautiful gems to the city lord. The city lord was very happy to reward that man, but the man said that he had a way to get more gems... "
The old woman looked at Ran Ran and smiled with difficulty, "You should also know what the method is, kid..."
"But we didn't know it at that time. Everyone just found out. , the cattle and sheep in the city would disappear inexplicably. And then the missing people would become people. We reported to the city lord, but he didn’t want to pay attention to us at all, and was just obsessed with building his own palace.”
"Later, the city lord died suddenly, and the man who presented the gems used his gems to bribe many people, and he eventually became the new city lord."
". I still remember how lively the celebration was that night , there were flowers and torches everywhere, performances, dancing, juggling, the carnival lasted all night"
"My dear Anna had so much fun, with her bright eyes and sweet smile, she also said If only I could be so happy every day."
The old woman's skinny hand moved to her chest with difficulty, and she covered her heart and cried bitterly.
"How could my poor Anna know, that was the beginning of a nightmare"
Ran Ran wanted to comfort her, but found that her throat was so stiff that she couldn't speak at all.
“It was that night. Lots of bugs came out of nowhere. They were all over the city, so many. They got into everyone’s body.”
“There were sharp edges everywhere. Anna twitched on the ground uncomfortably, and she called her mother one after another."
"I wanted to hug her, but I fainted from the pain."
"When I woke up it was already... It was night, and everyone seemed to have no health problems, but later everyone found that they seemed to be sick, and no one could remember what they had done or what happened during the day."
"Everyone only has the memory of the night, and everyone finds that they are all in love with meat. They even think that the more raw they are, the more delicious they are. Sometimes they look at their neighbors, wives, and children and have the idea of eating them. Everyone thinks they are crazy. My baby Anna. Once she ate the neighbor’s cat at night”
“She used to love that cat so much that she often played with it on the grass”
“My Anna collapsed, she Said she was A monster, she began to refuse to eat meat. I watched her lose weight day by day but there was nothing I could do."
"Later, the supply of meat in the city ran out, and many people could not eat meat, except for the very wealthy people. Only in this way can we enjoy meat."
"Many people began to feel haggard and in a trance. Everyone felt very, very uncomfortable, as if something in the body was clamoring for fresh flesh and blood."
"But the carnival in the city at night is becoming more and more lively day by day. Many strangers come here every day. But when we wake up consciously one night, those people are gone."
The old woman looked at Ran Ran in horror, "We warmly invited them home, but they left without saying goodbye!"
Ran Ran couldn't help but get goosebumps all over her body.
People who come to this city leave without saying goodbye...it is clear...
