Chapter 528: Light

On the morning after autumn, the air was filled with a bleak and withered smell.

Yellow autumn leaves drifted slowly from outside the wall, bringing a cool breeze.

Yu Guo stepped into the courtyard again, and after only a few seconds of relaxation, he dared not greedily breathe in the air again.

"Quickly find the source of the decay."

At this time, there were only two and a half minutes left before the half-hour period agreed by Ji Li.

At the same time, the whole villa began to wither rapidly.

The walls of the whole villa fell into gray, and the white wall of the courtyard also began to fall off.

The fallen leaves on the ground rolled up by the autumn wind were overwhelming and charming.

A piece of wood fell from the top of the villa and broke into several pieces on the ground, indicating that it had rotted to the extreme.

The current villa is very different from the scene I saw when I first came here.

All of this came from the corpse of the black eucalyptus.

Yu Guo and Zhan Xun went deeper into the courtyard. The more they went in, the more dilapidated they became.

Even every stone brick that Zhan Xun stepped on would break with a sound.

This is the backyard of the villa, which is much wider than the front yard, but it is also extremely messy.

This is a garden-like existence, and the vines, flowers, and bushes that usually grow here have all turned into cold gray and black tones.

As Yu Guo and Zhan Xun entered, the cold wind brought by them rustled the dry branches and leaves and made them fall one after another.

This path paved with stone bricks goes all the way inward.

After passing through a corridor composed of vines and flowers, a round flower bed appeared in front of the two.

The flower bed is the center of the entire backyard, and it is also the place with the strongest atmosphere of dilapidation.

The plants around are all in a dying state or dead state.

The dead vines on the ground are like black lines, connecting every corner of the backyard, bringing death to all places.

What is surprising is that this flower bed of more than ten square meters is full of countless red flowers.

The flowers are blooming extremely lushly, with bright red colors, crowded in a group and blooming.

What's even more bizarre is that the pedicel of each flower is made up of two intertwined stalks, with one flower on each stalk.

Yu Guo thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't recognize what kind of flower it was.

Zhan Xun didn't think much about the flower, but he knew that when he got here, things were almost done.

"How about it? Dig it?"

Yu Guo nodded heavily, took off his coat and shirt, and gave one to Zhan Xun.

The two of them wrapped their hands in clothes, rushed to the flower bed, and pulled all the red flowers out of the soil one by one.

For a moment, the petals, stamens, and stalks were destroyed and scattered.

Many petals were crushed in the soil, like a large pool of blood.

Yu Guo and Zhan Xun were responsible for one and a half areas each, and they started digging separately.

Time was already too tight.

Now there was only one and a half minutes left.

The two didn't care about any method at this time. The four hands and four feet of the two people, in short, used everything they could use on their bodies.

Finally, half a minute later, Zhan Xun's hand touched a hard object.

He quickly took off his clothes and reached into the soil with his bloody hands to touch it tentatively.

The hard object was very smooth, like a round object, and grooves appeared when he touched it further.

"Could it be a human skull?"

Zhan Xun was not afraid when he touched this thing, but was very excited.

"Brother Yu, come quickly, I found the body of Heiyouan!"

Unlike Zhan Xun, Yu Guo's face did not show much excitement. He knew very well that even if he found the body, it might not be so easy to solve.

With the target, the two people worked together to dig, and soon the body of Heiyouan was exposed to the air.

And this time, the two looked at the body, but subconsciously stepped away a few steps, because the body was too weird.

A slender skeleton was connected to each other, like a living person, with tendons, blood and flesh connected, and not separated.

This is the body of Heiyouan after it has rotted.

But behind this skeleton, there is actually a smaller skeleton attached.

Unlike the bones of the body of Heiyouan, the small skeleton is extremely soft, only the size of an adult's palm.

Attached to the corpse of an adult, it is as uncomfortable as a large blood clot.

Yu Guo's eyes were filled with fear, and he slowly said:

"So, Ren Jiayun's body is here too!"

A baby who has not yet fully developed, with the black eucalyptus, caused a death of two lives.

A set of hard bones and a set of cartilage, tightly connected.

This may represent the origin of the black eucalyptus ghost, the one body with two souls.

"The way of life... The way of life seems to be changing..."

After realizing the connection between the one body with two lives and the one body with two souls, Zhan Xun suddenly felt that what they had to do was not just to destroy the body of the black eucalyptus.

But to completely separate the skeletons of the mother and son.

Yu Guo took a deep breath, he could feel that the body of the black eucalyptus was not scary.

What really frightened him was the cartilage attached to its back.

If he wanted to separate the two, he would most likely face something even more terrible.

But now he could no longer waste time, and he rushed out as soon as Zhan Xun finished speaking.

Yu Guo's hands simultaneously pressed on the arms of the black eucalyptus corpse, using all his strength to separate the cartilage.

But as soon as his hands were on it, a cold and gloomy air that penetrated his heart and lungs flowed through his arms into his body.

Yu Guo screamed, and felt that the cold air, climbing up every inch of his body, made him lose control of his body.

He opened his eyes painfully and saw that the cartilage pressed by his right hand was like a wriggling mass of flesh climbing up along his arm.

Every time it climbed up, the bones became transparent, and part of it was melting into Yu Guo's body.

Yu Guo, who had no ability to resist, could only watch this scene, and there was nothing he could do.

At this time, Zhan Xun's footsteps sounded from behind, allowing Yu Guo to regain clarity for a moment.

He lowered his voice and roared:

"Don't get close to me!

Once you intervene, you will fall into the same situation as me, and then both of us will die.

Brother Zhan, wait a minute...

Wait until the cartilage is completely on my body, then you can destroy the body of Hei Yanyan."

Zhan Xun's face was uncertain, standing behind Yu Guo and listening to his words and his pain, that feeling was like a knife in his heart.

He knew that once he did what Yu Guo wanted.

Maybe he, Ji Li, Clyde, and Huang Banxian can survive.

But Yu Guo will fall at the last moment before the mission is successful.

Tick, tick...

The hands of the watch are moving rigidly towards the last minute.

At this moment, Zhan Xun's heart became particularly calm, and he slowly raised his hands.

Half of it was soil and half was blood. After a long period of torture, he had become neither a human nor a ghost.

After a moment, he looked at Yu Guo, and a self-deprecating smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He did not listen to Yu Guo's warning and rushed over.

The broad palm pulled the cartilage out fiercely when it was about to drill into Yu Guo's body.

At this moment, the cartilage was like a drill bit, and when it felt the flesh and blood of a living person, it tried its best to drill inside.

Zhan Xun roared in pain, and then ran back quickly, as far away from Yu Guo as possible.

His body was being eaten away by the cartilage crazily, and he had no strength to stand up after just running a few steps back.

But at the moment of death, he still raised his head and shouted to Yu Guo resolutely:

"Brother! Live, wait until the winter solstice to see your fiancée!"

"Bang!"

The part where the skull and cervical vertebrae of the black eucalyptus corpse were connected was crushed by Yu Guo's foot.

The sharp bone spurs pierced Yu Guo's feet, causing him to fall to the ground powerlessly from the flower bed.

It's all over.

After fighting for so long and so many people died, it's finally over.

Yu Guo trembled and crawled forward step by step, looking at the dead body, his face full of painful regret.

If he could be less impatient, if he could think more about the characteristics of the two bodies, perhaps he would not end up like this.

When everything was over, the dark villa courtyard was finally covered by sunlight.

The light illuminated Zhan Xun's face, which died with determination, as if baptizing and blessing.

But the truth of reality is completely the opposite.

Zhan Xun died the moment before the light came.
