Chapter 651 The Man Under the Tree
Xifa quickly blinked his eyes and activated his spirit vision.
He immediately saw that there was a vague, incomplete aura just under the tree. It is not difficult to see from the outline of the aura that it is a person. It's just that this person's aura is entangled with the roots of the big tree, and it looks like the big tree is growing on him.
Xifa looked around again, but found no other suspicious auras or spirits, so he approached carefully, and then pushed aside the leaves on the ground. A moment later, a face appeared under Sifa's eyes.
This is a man in his forties who looks like a resident of an island. With his eyes closed, he seemed unable to move his body, so he could only speak: "Who is there, please save me, I have been here for many days, I am worried about Sally, oh, she is my wife."
Xifa said in a deep voice, "Wait a moment."
He continued to clean up the nearby leaves, and gradually, the man's body was cleaned out by him, but seeing the current state of the middle-aged man, Xifa knew that he could no longer go home.
Half of the man's body was buried in the soil and under a big tree. He was wearing island-style clothes, but no matter whether the clothes or the body, only a part remained, and the rest seemed to have been decomposed by bacteria or microorganisms.
Now the middle-aged man in the soil, he is missing an arm, the tree root has drilled into his chest, his abdomen is open, and some gray intestines are stuck together with the tree root. His legs disappeared from below the knees, and from his knees, tree roots drilled out, and those things were connected to the big tree next to him.
This is a person to be 'planted' in the soil, and his body has become a supplier of nutrients for trees, but for some unknown reason, the middle-aged man in front of him has not died yet, he is 'alive' in a strange state with.
"What's wrong, did I scare you. I'm sorry, I must be dirty now, I can feel ants or other goddamn bugs crawling all over me these days."
"There was a heavy rain the day before yesterday, and some sand and sand rushed into my ears, so I should be quite scary now."
"But I beg you, kind sir, please take me back to the town. I must be sick, but I can recover after a while. Old Mick in the town is a good doctor, and my family's environment is not bad. .”
Seems to see hope, this gentleman is no longer as weak as before, he even has a smile on his face, as if he is already imagining the scene of returning home.
"I hope I don't scare Sally"
Xifa didn't know what to say, so he could only ask, "Can you open your eyes?"
"Of course." The eyes of the man who was planted in the ground twitched, as if trying to open them, but his eyelids only opened a tiny gap, and they couldn't open them anymore, "What's going on, why did I Can't keep my eyes open."
"Hey, it's itchy. My eyes are itchy. Sir, can you scratch it for me?"
Xifa was trying to see what was wrong with his eyes, when he saw his eyelids rise and fall slightly, and then a black thing came out from under the eyelids.
hum—
A blowfly took to the air.
Cifer suddenly had a bad premonition. At this moment, more and more flies crawled out of the gentleman's eyes. Finally, his eyes were opened, but there were no eyes under the eyelids, only two A dark hole.
Right in his eye sockets, densely packed flies crawled, then buzzed, and flew up like a black cloud!
"Ah, I'm much more comfortable now."
The man in the field continued to let out a long breath, and then 'looked' around with his two black eye sockets: "It's so dark? Sir, is it night now?"
"It should be quite late now, well, the clouds should be very thick today, and we rarely get so dark that we can't see anything at night."
"Where are you, sir? Is there a light beside you? Can you turn it on? To be honest, I'm a little scared when it's so dark, which makes you laugh."
Sifa was silent.
After a while, he said, "What should I call you?"
"Jeb, my name is Jeb." The man on the ground responded without hesitation.
"Yes, Mr. Jeb."
Xifa slowly pulled out the 'Depraved Whisper', and this rough revolver shone with an inexplicable and ominous light under the crimson moonlight.
"You're right, it's night."
Jeb seemed relieved, laughed and said, "I'm just saying, why can't I see anything, I thought I was blind."
"You are not blind, but your eyes are missing." Sifa squatted down and continued, "Unfortunately, you probably won't be able to go home anymore, if you go back now, your wife will be shocked. "
"Please allow me to describe your current situation to you. I think you need to know."
"Your arms are gone, your abdomen is completely open, your intestines are entwined with tree roots, and roots have grown from your legs below the knees."
"You are dead, but some kind of strange power keeps you 'alive', but I don't think you can still be called a living person like this."
"In fact, your body is dying, bacteria and microbes are actively decomposing your body, and it won't be long before you're left with a skeleton."
Having said that, Sifa stopped.
Jeb was silent for a moment, then he laughed: "That's impossible, sir, are you kidding me?"
"If I'm as serious as you say, why don't I feel any pain at all?"
Xifa let out a breath from his mouth: "It's not that you don't feel pain, you don't feel anything at all, right?"
The expression on Jeb's face froze slightly, and then he said in a crying voice: "No, no."
"The priest said that as long as we pray sincerely here, we will be able to get God's favor. The great Asturka will not deceive us, and the priest will not deceive us."
Jeb's body jerked upwards: "I want to go home, I want to go home"
He struggled, but couldn't get up from the soil, those tree roots bound him tightly in the soil.
Xifa raised the "Depraved Whisper" and pressed the cold barrel of the gun against the man's temple: "Unfortunately, Mr. Jeb, I can't help you."
"Right now, the only thing I can do is to set you free."
"are you ready?"
Jeb was quiet for a moment, then screamed, "I don't want to die, Asturka betrayed us, I don't want to die"
boom!
Huge gunshots rang out in the forest, but none of the night birds were startled.
Jeb's head was blown to pieces, and in only half of his head, there were fat white maggots falling down in groups.
