"If I guess correctly, all the bones in his body are made of crystal." Yue Muyang took a deep look at the two people who were looking at the hand bones, sighed, and said impatiently: "It seems that the one that came out yesterday I’m not the only one, tell me about your findings, two bold novices, I think your previous careers were not ordinary.”
Mu Chen was the first to speak: "Last night around two o'clock in the morning, I went out. As for my profession, I was a soldier. So it is not difficult for me to protect myself."
"I followed a worker and found that they were not simply dragging the ax around, but chopping bones. I personally saw a skeleton crawling out of the ground, and then being chased and chopped all the way by the workers."
Mu Chen paused and raised his brows gently. For a materialist, the scene last night really refreshed his worldview.
Are you a soldier? Yunchuan glanced at the man whose outlook had been refreshed, and began to make up random things: "I was similar to him. I ran out following a hand bone. But I lost track of him, so I don't know what happened next. Originally I planned to come out tonight to have a look, but I didn’t expect to meet you..."
Yue Muyang nodded,
"Then you are really lucky. I did see the skeleton yesterday, but it was not the workers chasing the skeletons, but the skeletons crawling out first to look for the workers. After attacking the workers, they were chased and chopped by the workers. After combining the newly dissected Crystal hand bones, I doubt..."
"You suspect that those skeletons are actually the original products of the workers, but for some reason, they were replaced with crystals. So when the skeletons go looking for the workers, they actually want to return to the workers' bodies. So those workers are actually controlled by the crystals Go and drive away the bones." Yun Chuan quickly picked up what he had left unfinished. "Then the crystal with the finger bones I picked up today is most likely to imprison the bones."
"I agree with your view." Mu Chen raised his eyebrows and asked his own question: "So the bones of regular workers are crystal. Does that mean that when we become regular workers, our bones will also be replaced?"
"Tsk, not necessarily. Who knows whether you turned into a crystal because you became a full-time employee or because you became a crystal? Why don't Mr. Mu take off your arm now and let us see..." He still remembers the hatred of the morning's report. Yun Chuan raised his lips and teased.
"Ah!" "I'll go, what is this!" Mu Chen, who was suddenly startled, was about to retort when he was interrupted by high-pitched screams coming from other rooms.
There is a situation! Listening to the constant banging and yelling from next door, Yue Muyang and Mu Chen quickly picked up their weapons and rushed out of the room.
The door was pushed open and slammed into the wall, making a loud crunching sound. Yunchuan stood alone in the middle of the dim room, the light casting thick shadows on his delicate profile, not thinking about anything.
After a long while, he tilted his head, picked up the crystal hand bone on the ground, and walked towards the room where the scream came from.
Before he had taken two steps, he saw Wu Wei tremblingly opening the door and looking out in horror.
As soon as he saw him coming, Wu Wei quickly squeezed out the door and fell behind Yunchuan as if he had seen his backbone.
‘Tsk. ’ Looking at the rough and trembling hands on his shoulders with some disgust, Yunchuan frowned slightly, but didn’t say anything.
When the two arrived at the door of the room where the accident occurred, Yue Muyang and Mu Chen had already firmly pressed down the struggling white bones on the ground and tied them with sheets to prevent them from crawling all over the floor.
The little green hair squatted on the rickety clothes hanger holding a pillow. God knows how he got up.
At the foot of the bed, the girl Shangguan Jin had a small white face, staring straight at the bones twisting on the ground. Ms. Wu hugged her tightly and kept touching her daughter's shoulders.
The situation inside the house seems to be under control, but...
Yun Chuan tilted his head suddenly, and a white bone almost grazed his face and hit the door with a loud bang.
"Oh, let me go, what is this!" Wu Wei was so frightened that he sat on the ground, trembling and wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.
Yun Chuan clicked his tongue, then quickly pulled out the bone stuck in the door, and looked sideways at Mu Chen who was squatting on the ground.
"My hands are slippery, I'm sorry..." Mu Chen gave him a smile that showed no guilt at all, but he seemed a bit gloating about his misfortune.
"Okay, okay, you two, let's get down to business." Peacemaker Yue Muyang pulled down the young man squatting on the clothes hanger and looked at the two people who were arguing with each other impatiently. It was fine to separate. Why? Together they are like enemies. I really can't understand these young people.
The green-haired boy who jumped down let out a long breath, and complained in a panic: "I'm scared to death, what the hell is this thing. I was sleeping, and a bunch of bones came out of the bed. Damn it, if it weren't for My brother arrived just in time, so I should have folded here!”
"That's right, thank you. If you hadn't come, I'm afraid my mother and I would have..." The girl sobbed slightly and continued: "I felt something grabbing my hair when I was sleeping, and I saw it as soon as I opened my eyes. Mom is hitting the bones with a pillow, they want to get into the bodies of mom and me, ugh..." Ms. Wu's eyes were red, she looked at her daughter distressedly, and used her hands to explain that the bones came in through the door, and they turned out to be Can pick door locks.
Yun Chuan calmly knocked the bones in his hand. The sight of Ms. Wu holding his daughter in front of him reminded him inexplicably of the way the Lord God waved his tentacles to protect his shortcomings last night. After uncontrollably bringing Ms. Wu's face to the Lord God... …hiss, terrible. He quickly cleared the picture in his mind and carefully observed the bound bones.
The twisted bones on the ground were divided into three parts by Mu Chen and Mu Yueyang and wrapped in strips of cloth torn from sheets. At first glance, they looked like three twisted rice dumplings. Ning Yu hugged the pillow and pinched the corner of Mu Chen's clothes. The green hair seemed to be alive again, glowing green under the dim light.
The boy who had recovered was curious and asked, "Brother, tell me, how do these things run together? I don't think there are any muscles connecting them."
Looking at the boy who dreamed of finding science in the world of infinite flow, Yunchuan leaned against the wall and said lazily: "Stop poking, kid. What I'm poking may be your own bones."
The young man squatting on the ground froze when he heard this, quickly stopped his hand, and quietly wiped it on his brother's clothes again and again.
Mu Chen knocked off his hand with a look of disgust and simply recounted to everyone what the three of them had just concluded.
"...That's it. We suspect that these white bones were replaced by crystals. They will chase you if they want to return to the body. Moreover, Brother Yue and I divided the bones we just controlled into three parts according to bone age. , two copies have two complete hand bones, arm bones and clavicle, and the remaining one has a few extra ribs. According to the bone age, they can match the three of you."
Yue Muyang looked at the three people who were stunned, took over the topic and continued: "Although this place cannot be scientific, human bones will not be replaced for no reason. We have been carving all day during the day, but there has been no danger, even for novices I won’t waste a whole day, so the replacement condition must be during the day.”
"Damn, it can't be that kind of sculpture. I remember that I did carve the chest of the figure, and they only carved two arms." The young man shouted in surprise, holding his arms tightly.
There was silence in the room, and the answer was self-evident.
"Um..." Wu Wei raised his hand tremblingly, "I have a question. I also carved it, and the three elder brothers also carved it, but the bones don't seem to find us?"
"Of course they found us, but before they could find us, they were discovered by the workers and chopped back. There were a lot of broken bones on the ground when we came here, but the ground last night was very clean. And tonight the workers stayed in the corridor The time in this factory is much longer than yesterday, but there are no other changes in this factory except us who joined the carving yesterday, so the workers know that the bones will come to us.”
Yun Chuan struck the palms of his hands with white bones,
"But bones are just bones, without brains. They only know how to return to the owner's body, but ignore the workers behind them. If we don't kill the workers in advance, more than just bones will be chopped off." The wrist that was chopped off last night is still there. In the dull pain, I am afraid that only he and Baigu will know the power of the giant axe.
"Then what should we do now?" The trembling girl said firmly: "I want to live and go home with my mother."
"Wait, wait for these bones to crawl back into the ground on their own. They will crawl back into the ground before the sun rises." Yue Muyang nodded to the girl. The skeleton he tracked yesterday was drilled into the soil half an hour before the start of construction.
"Yesterday, a piece of crystal orchid grew where the skeleton was buried. Today I want to see if this is a coincidence. Ah, it's almost time..."
As soon as the words fell, the struggling bones on the ground suddenly twisted toward the door.
The time has come
"Follow them! Be careful not to confront the wandering workers!" Yue Muyang gave an order and quickly shook off the cloth tied to the bones.
In an instant, the freed bones quickly joined together and rushed out of the door. The speed was so fast that only white afterimages could be seen flying across the ground and walls, leaving only the clanging sound in the corridor. sound.
They ran through the winding dirt roads and over the rusty iron sheets, constantly escaping
Finally, a second before the sun raised its head, they plunged into the soil at the edge of the factory.
The three of them stopped and looked carefully, and sure enough
In the dry soil, a little bit of silvery white grows densely against the corner of the wall - crystal orchid.
"Do you still remember the flower language of crystal orchid?"
"Of course, sincerity is harmless, but fragility is useless..."
"Oh, sincere and harmless, crystal orchid? Or should I say, sincere and harmless, fragile and incompetent, skeleton?"
"A bit of both, I guess."
Their eyes looked at each other, and Yun Chuan raised the corners of his lips. The first ray of sunshine in the morning shone on his delicate profile, making him look particularly sincere and harmless.
