Chapter 91

False Person.

This was an urban legend of the twenty-first century in Wu Pifu's memory.

Legend has it that in the bustling crowds, there exist some things that look like people but are completely unknown.

Where they come from is unknown, how long they have existed is unknown, and what they actually are is also unknown.

The only thing known is that they will randomly choose passersby as their prey, perhaps as food, perhaps just for hunting. Because even their existence itself is unknown, it is completely unknown whether they need humans as food.

From the urban myth information Wu Pifu knows, False Persons will hunt humans. Others either cannot see them, or there are legends that they can be seen, but they look no different from normal people. However, in the eyes of the prey they have chosen, they become extremely terrifying.

They will approach you at the speed of a normal person, either walking or running, while others cannot detect any abnormality at all. And you cannot kill a False Person with any weapon; you can only run away. And the False Person will be like a cat catching a mouse; no matter where you run to the ends of the earth, they can always find you, then approach you in a crowd or an open space, and finally...

No one knows what will happen to you—whether you are killed, turned into a new False Person, or sent to some terrifying place, a secret research base of the False Person creator, or some mad scientist's experimental table. In short, you disappear.

The most terrifying thing is, no one knows.

Because all your relatives, acquaintances, and friends will completely forget your existence in their memories, and all traces of your past will completely disappear.

These are most of the information Wu Pifu knows about False Persons; at least he only remembers this much.

So when he saw this False Person walking from the crowd, he immediately pulled Jiu Jiu and turned to leave. While walking, he was thinking about how to avoid the False Person, or whether to see if it could be killed?

(No, it's too risky, because I don't know if this is some kind of touch-to-kill. If it's touch-to-kill, then it would be throwing myself into the net.)

Wu Pifu thought silently, and then his eyes shrank suddenly. As soon as he turned his head, he saw two more False Persons walking towards him from behind. Then he looked around, and there were actually five or six False Persons surrounding him from all directions. The only escape route without False Persons was actually the subway station?

Wu Pifu was about to explode immediately. He never thought about entering the subway station. This was undoubtedly the False Person forcing him into the subway station, where there might be other more terrifying things...

It's very much like the plot of a small game he played before, where the protagonist was also forced into the subway station by a False Person, and then had to avoid the False Person while looking for loose change dropped by others in the subway station, and then spend money to buy a ticket to get on the subway, only then escaping with his life. Although at the end, a False Person was still walking towards him, leaving a foreshadowing.

He didn't want to try what it would be like to have a False Person walking towards him in a short carriage.

Therefore, he must not be forced into the subway station!

At this moment, Wu Pifu planned to carry Jiu Jiu and jump over the crowd immediately.

Are you kidding? A False Person with the speed of a mere ordinary person wants to surround and catch up to him?

It would be more like everyone in the city is a False Person!

But just at this moment, Jiu Jiu made an "eh" sound.

Wu Pifu immediately felt something was wrong and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

Jiu Jiu shook her head and seemed very unconfident, saying, "Just now, I seemed to see a few people who were very tall, but they flashed by. Maybe my eyes were playing tricks on me."

Wu Pifu's face darkened instantly.

Obviously, these False Persons seemed to have a way to perceive his intentions, so when he planned to cross the crowd to escape, they immediately turned Jiu Jiu into a hunting target. A momentary conversion, and then it stopped. Undoubtedly, this was some kind of warning.

Wu Pifu narrowed his eyes and looked closely at the approaching False Persons.

He really had the idea of fighting them. At worst, he would die once. If it was really touch-to-kill, then he would just keep running away. But if he could win... unless every one of these False Persons had an explosive power of tens of tons or more, otherwise he could really punch one kid at a time.

But...

Jiu Jiu couldn't do it.

She was in a human body now, couldn't fly, and her body was very weak, weaker than an ordinary normal adult male. She didn't even need to be attacked directly; just being affected by the battle might cause her to die immediately.

After death, she would appear immediately. By then, he would really be unable to protect Jiu Jiu.

"Heh..."

Wu Pifu took Jiu Jiu and walked quickly towards the subway station. While walking, he said, "Jiu Jiu, a monster has already targeted us. Don't look around. The monster's target is now set on me. You can't see them, so naturally, you won't be harmed by them. In a while, if I let go, you must pounce to the side as fast as you can, understand?"

Jiu Jiu looked nervous, lowered her head slightly, just looked at the hand Wu Pifu was holding, and said in a low voice, "Mm, understood."

Wu Pifu took Jiu Jiu and walked towards the lower part of the subway station, while the False Persons followed behind, but they didn't run either; it was just the speed of a normal human walking quickly.

Along the way, Wu Pifu was also carefully observing the humans around him.

They were men and women, of all three skin colors, and their expressions were normal. Even from the details, they were the most ordinary and normal humans, each in a hurry.

And there were words on the billboards in the subway, but these words were not any kind of words Wu Pifu knew. Obviously, this was not Earth, nor was it any human country he knew.

At the same time, Wu Pifu also saw some things from these billboards. This world, or this country, was at war. It was unclear who they were fighting, because recruitment advertisements occupied more than half of all advertisements, and accompanying the recruitment advertisements were huge mechs.

The style of the mechs was not any style in any game Wu Pifu knew. They looked round-headed, some humanoid, some beast-like, and some spider or octopus types. It seemed that this world had developed towards a mech civilization.

Walking and watching, very quickly, Wu Pifu came to the ticket hall.

He didn't rush to move, but waved his hand casually. Others didn't even react, and there was a large stack of banknotes in his hand. Then he came to the ticket hall, listened to the words of the people in front, and when it was his turn, he said the monosyllables mentioned by the people in front, and at the same time pulled out two banknotes and handed them up.

The ticket seller looked at him, took one of the banknotes, took out two tickets and handed them to him, and gave him some change.

Wu Pifu smiled, took it all in his hand without looking, and took Jiu Jiu into the subway station.

This world was really too much like Earth civilization, even the entrances and exits of the subway station were almost the same—swiping tickets, entering, and then the passages, platforms, etc.

But as soon as he reached the platform, Wu Pifu immediately stood still at the platform door.

Because the entire platform also revealed the truth in his eyes!

The platform was still normal, and the revealed truth was nothing more than ruins, but the subway was different. The subways on both sides were all kinds of organs, mucus, and intestinal types of things, and the subway train that came was also biologically structured, and it was like a hollow tongue.

The most terrifying thing was that when people walked into this tongue, some individual human bodies actually melted into the tongue, but the people around were completely unaware. Immediately after, they condensed back, but they turned into False Persons over two meters tall.

!

Wu Pifu's eyes were solemn. Looking back, he saw that six False Persons had walked in from the ticket gate. Although they couldn't arrive for a while, it was only a matter of time before they arrived.

"... So, forcing me to take the subway is to turn me into a False Person?"

Wu Pifu immediately knew the thoughts of these False Persons, and even his intuition reminded him of this. No matter what, he must not sit on the subway train.

He looked around and found that there was only one entrance and exit, and these six False Persons were separated by more than two meters, approaching him and Jiu Jiu in a blocking way.

Seeing this, Wu Pifu immediately pulled Jiu Jiu and walked towards the toilet.

At the same time, while walking, he said to Jiu Jiu, "After we go in, you stay in the innermost cubicle, lock the door, and don't come out unless I call you. If I die, you stay in the cubicle and delay time. I will come here as soon as possible after resurrection. If you also... then follow what I said before, find a hidden place and delay time quietly, know?"

Jiu Jiu nodded repeatedly in nervousness and was dragged by Wu Pifu into the men's toilet.

At this time, a white youth was on the phone in the toilet. He saw Wu Pifu pull a beautiful girl in, and this beautiful girl was wearing a piece of clothing that was very large for her, and it seemed empty inside. The youth immediately gave a "yo-ho" sound, and then said a lot of words in a crackling way, but unfortunately, Wu Pifu couldn't understand.

The main brain can translate languages, but only in the dream world. For the weekend, neither text nor language is translated.

So Wu Pifu ignored the youth. He walked to the deepest part of the toilet, confirmed that no one was using it, put Jiu Jiu in, and said solemnly, "Don't open the door unless I call you!"

Jiu Jiu nodded.

Wu Pifu watched the toilet cubicle door close, then turned to look at the entrance of the toilet. Not long after, one, two, three, a total of six False Persons walked in.

The youth was washing his hands. He was still making faces at Wu Pifu and saying something, but when these six False Persons walked in, he also felt something was wrong and immediately wanted to get out of the toilet quickly.

Just at this moment, Wu Pifu stepped on the ground. While the ground cracked, he had already rushed to the first False Person, pulled out a palm, and printed it on the False Person's chest like lightning.

At the moment of contact, a huge suction force pulled Wu Pifu's arm and wanted to drag him in, as if the False Person was not a solid body, but some kind of void.

At this instant, the Sleepless Spiritual Light in Wu Pifu's sea of consciousness suddenly shone brightly, and then a red light almost invisible to the naked eye rose from Wu Pifu's body.

The next second, Wu Pifu's palm slapped on the False Person's chest. With one palm, the False Person's chest exploded directly from the back, along with its back spine, and flew out, landing on the wall next to the white youth's head.

Wu Pifu withdrew his palm and saw the False Person sway, then fall to the ground. Its corpse was rotting at a speed visible to the naked eye, quickly turning into a humanoid skeleton over two meters tall.

The white youth opened his mouth wide and watched all this. He was stunned and couldn't say a word.

Wu Pifu felt relieved, sensed the consumption of the Sleepless Spiritual Light and blood energy, then smiled, withdrew his palm, and cupped his fists.

"Wu Pifu, nice to meet you!"
