Chapter 50: Target Location
"Buying something... or not buying?"
Listening to the hoarse voice that sounded like it was coming from some obscure corner, made by a sharp awl grinding against a broken wooden board, Ding Mo only felt a bit of a headache.
Are you a tape recorder? You only know this one sentence?
"Hey!" At this moment, Zhang Yunfan beside him seemed unable to endure it any longer; he drew his police baton, held it against the old man's neck, and threatened:
"You old immortal! Speak quickly!! Otherwise, my baton doesn't know how to respect the old or cherish the young!"
In this eerie place, Zhang Yunfan did not want to talk about morality with an inexplicable passerby.
Upon hearing this, the old man finally reacted!
He raised his head, his turbid eyes looking at Zhang Yunfan.
As their eyes met, Zhang Yunfan felt a shock in his heart—he could not see any vitality in these eyes; the dead, silent gaze seemed to portend that its owner was originally a corpse.
"Zhang Yunfan!" At this moment, Ding Mo pushed away the baton he had held against the old man's neck and said to the old man:
"Fine, I'll buy."
"Hey! What are you doing now!" Zhang Yunfan shouted.
Gu Zixu also frowned slightly upon hearing this.
"As long as you tell me about this girl, I can buy." Ding Mo ignored them,
instead raising the photo again and presenting it before the old man's eyes.
Upon hearing this, the old man...
finally looked at the photo!
Seeing this, Ding Mo felt a stir in his heart.
It worked!
Just when he thought this trip was about to make progress again, the old man suddenly became strange!
As it turned out, he only glanced at the photo, and in his originally dead and motionless eyes, a trace of fear actually welled up!
"You, you!" He climbed up tremblingly, pointed at the bewildered Ding Mo and his group, and said in terror:
"You!
"Will come to no good end!!"
What is this? This sudden change made Ding Mo unable to help but stand up and step back.
The three of them stared at the old man vigilantly.
"Sir, we just wanted to ask about someone and..."
However, before he could finish speaking, Ding Mo saw the old man hurriedly pull a transparent plastic bag from his body,
and then he couldn't wait to lick it!
But there was clearly nothing inside this plastic bag! The old man was just licking such an empty bag. It even gave Ding Mo the feeling that he wished he could eat it.
No... Ding Mo observed carefully for a moment and discovered that there were actually some white powders stuck inside the bag, which seemed to be the residue of something.
Zzzzz~
The sound of the plastic bag constantly deforming came through.
"Let's go." Zhang Yunfan grabbed Ding Mo's shoulder and said.
Seeing that the old man had lost his sanity and was just frantically sticking out his tongue, Ding Mo had no choice but to sigh.
Getting into the car, the group left quickly.
Before long, only this old man who had lost his sanity remained on this street.
At this moment, he seemed even crazier than before! He was already kneeling on the ground, burying his entire face into the bag! His body was trembling slightly!
But, at one moment, the old man's movements suddenly stopped.
Immediately after, he suddenly opened his mouth wide,
and began to vomit frantically at the bag!
Ugh~
Large swaths of eyeballs were vomited out by him! And they were still alive; the pupils were rolling around, looking at the surroundings.
"No—!!" The old man grabbed the eyeballs and stuffed them into his mouth.
But, it wasn't just in his mouth; eyeballs also began to grow in his eyes, like foam proliferating; his eyes quickly turned into compound eyes!
On his hands, feet, and neck, various skin surfaces also began to crack, and dense, crowded eyes opened up within them!
Soon, the old man's mouth could no longer hold them, and he vomited violently once again,
this time the amount was even greater and larger! In huge swaths!
At the same time, his whole body was covered in eyeballs.
He stood frozen in place, motionless; a few seconds later,
the whole person disintegrated into a pile of eyeballs, clattering as they rolled on the ground...
"Tell me, what will happen to that old man?" Ding Mo sat in the car, unable to help but recall the scene from just now.
Zhang Yunfan beside him shook his head and replied:
"I don't know. He wasn't normal anymore; I think it's better if we don't know."
"No, I'm actually more concerned about why, as soon as he saw this photo, he would..." Ding Mo looked at the photo of the cute little girl in his hand, stopping mid-sentence.
His words caused a silence in the car.
What happened just now had already confirmed to a certain extent that this little girl was clearly not normal.
What kind of person was the Processing Bureau asking them to escort?
No... is she even a person at all?!
However, the group had no way back, so they had to bite the bullet and continue forward.
A stifling atmosphere spread inside the vehicle...
Until,
"Hey, hey, hey?" A communication came through everyone's earpieces:
"Attention! Attention! You have arrived at the target area!
"Repeating, you have..."
The sudden call startled the group, but only Gu Zixu replied calmly:
"Received. Can you provide the specific location of the target?"
Ding Mo also looked around at the surroundings.
What met his eyes was still the same monotonous reinforced concrete, multi-story buildings, and Shopping Mall; if they had to find one person within this area, it would take quite a lot of time.
"Static... Unable to determine specific location, please search on your own! Over!"
"..."
"Damn it!" Yan Yu couldn't help but curse at this moment:
"It's already noon. You want us to search such a huge place one by one? Can we even find them before dark?"
It wasn't just him; the others also felt a wave of irritation after hearing this.
Moreover, it wasn't just about the time; the experience at the bizarre milk tea shop was still fresh in their minds, and staying in buildings for a long time could mean unknown danger!
For a moment, no one moved.
Until Gu Zixu, she sighed:
"There is no other way, everyone. Let's pair up. The Task of a Killer Squad is just that difficult...
"Yet, hardship is also tempering! This is the necessary path to becoming a top-tier killer! Only by enduring three thousand dead nights of cold rain and asceticism will there be a chance to slay that detestable Watermelon Person!
"Killer Squad, it is time to split up and act!"
Her tone was solemn and heavy, like a general giving a pre-battle speech.
Listening to her words, although they couldn't fully understand them, the group felt a sense of teenage angst while simultaneously, for some reason, feeling a spark of courage ignite.
Ding Mo felt the same, but this time he noticed something unusual:
This was likely the ability of Gu Zixu, this "veteran." Indeed, being able to survive 5 "Typewriter" Tasks was not just a matter of luck...
"Gu Zixu is right." Zhang Yunfan, having heard her words, nodded as well:
"We must take action, otherwise no one will be able to go back. We'll just end up finished here together."
"..."
"..."
With someone emphasizing the importance of the Task once more, the group finally got out of the car one after another.
In the end, only Yan Yu remained in the car.
Seeing that everyone had gotten out, he shifted back to neutral and pulled the handbrake, preparing to leave as well.
But immediately, he noticed something—under his gaze, a corner of a stack of papers was sticking out from the dashboard compartment of the driver's seat.
Yan Yu pulled it out in confusion, but when he focused his eyes on it, his hand shook!
Because this thing was actually a traffic ticket!
