Chapter 72 Erase or Join
Accompanied by drowsy drowsiness and intense pain, Li Tianque fell into a drowsy sleep.

He felt that he was in a constantly bumpy environment, and he didn't know how long it took to wake up slowly.

After waking up, Li Tianque felt weak all over, his hands and feet were numb, and his brain was still a little dazed.

He didn't know what he had experienced, but he felt a very strong sense of exhaustion, as if he had just finished a marathon, his whole body was sore and weak, and he had no strength at all.

The first thing he did when he woke up was to touch his face subconsciously, to see if the corpse powder on his face was still there.

When his hand touched his face, he felt that his face had become very rough, but there didn't seem to be any small holes on it that made the scalp tingle like ghosts, but the touch felt particularly strange.

The itchy feeling that made him almost go crazy completely disappeared, and it was the first time that he realized that his face had become something that could make people feel at ease and happy, which was simply too outrageous.

Li Tianque sat up straight slowly, then looked around.

He found that he had returned to the car, and Fatty Bi was lying beside him. This guy was bandaged with blood oozing from the wound.

The loud snoring in the car came from his mouth, and he was still raving about something from time to time.

Duan Xiaoyu was concentrating on fiddling with the big computer, but still ignored Li Tianque, while Wu Miaoran, who was sitting in the driver's cab, was humming a song while driving leisurely.

Li Tianque was still in a trance, and asked dreamily:

"Miaoran... I... have we completed the task?"

"Of course, but in order to save you, I wasted another bottle of potion. When the task reward is issued, you have to pay it back to me!" Wu Miaoran said with some dissatisfaction.

"Okay, if you can remove the corpse powder, I will give it to you..." Li Tianque paused.

He originally wanted to say that it would be fine to give you all my salary for this month, but after hesitating for a while, he still sensibly didn't say it.

Obviously, if he really said that, Wu Miaoran might really accept his proposal without hesitation.

"Even if it's for you!" Li Tianque changed the subject.

Wu Miaoran in the rearview mirror gave him a blank look, curled her lips and said:

"Hmph, your life is really good, if I come a little later, you will be dead!
There is really no good thing among these inverts. They deal with corpses every day, and their hearts are also very poisonous!
You, I really didn't say you, you are quite a big person, do you have some organizational discipline? I told you not to come down, but you are disobedient! "

Li Tianque scratched his head and said with some embarrassment:

"It really can't be my fault. When I was waiting for you up there, I met this fat man. Then, for some reason, the well started to spray blood and water, and then a thick fog rose up.

There are also many thin and long scary ghosts in the fog. Have you seen the movie "Slender Ghost"?Just like the scary guy in that movie, I was almost caught by them, and I jumped into the well when I had nowhere to go! "

"So? Why did I give you those two pieces of equipment? It's just to help you deal with the danger. After you go down, you will know that the danger below is beyond your current strength!" Wu Miaoran said a little said sternly.

Li Tianque also realized his problem, so he nodded and said:
"Well, you're right. I'm indeed inexperienced. I'll pay attention next time."

"Okay, okay, let's have some snacks!" Wu Miaoran threw another piece of chewing gum into her mouth.

"But what are those slender ghosts? Are they the ghosts of people killed by the nuclei in the cave?" Li Tianque asked.

Before Wu Miaoran could answer, Duan Xiaoyu on the side explained:

"No, they are also derivatives of Xie Hu, but the luck of these derivatives is not very good.

These slender ghosts were originally ordinary people, but after being parasitized by the evil plants in Xie Hu's body, their bodies were severely eroded, and their height increased wildly in a short period of time, leading to direct loss of control.

The body was stretched and elongated by brute force, slowly petrified, and finally the consciousness was completely controlled by Xie Hu, becoming a puppet.

They can hide in the mountains at ordinary times. Once they come into contact with the water vapor containing the nuclides of evil dendrobium, they will wake up and attack nearby creatures. "

Li Tianque suddenly realized, and suddenly remembered another strange creature he had encountered, and couldn't help asking:
"By the way, I remember hearing Wu Miaoran say that the evil dendrobium seems to be able to affect the surrounding creatures within 50 meters, so the strange-shaped stones I saw in the cave may also have something to do with it ah?
Those guys can jump straight on us, and then use their disgusting tentacles to tear through the clothes and suck the blood of the body! "

"That's right, it should be that the surrounding stones were affected by it and turned into that kind of strange creature. I even brought back a few of them for research," Duan Xiaoyu said.

"What about those who are still in the cave? Wouldn't it be dangerous if someone strayed into it?" Li Tianque asked hastily.

"No, we have already dealt with everything before we leave. If the bloodthirsty strange stone does not come into contact with the water vapor containing nuclides, it will slowly petrify and eventually turn back to ordinary rock.

It's just that those slender ghosts on the rock wall are a bit pitiful, they can no longer change back to their original state. According to my guess, since they have been missing for so long and no one has tracked them down, most of them should be homeless, who were lured here by Wu Liangjin. Or they strayed into the mountains and were killed by evil dendrobium.

But being able to become a stone sculpture forever like this may be more meaningful than being buried in a cemetery. "Duan Xiaoyu said casually.

"Huh? It makes more sense to become a stone sculpture?"

"Otherwise? Could it be a sand sculpture? Haha..." Wu Miaoran said with a smile.

Li Tianque swallowed, but he didn't want to say something too holy, but he still felt that it was a life anyway, and he still hoped to give their families a proper explanation.

Duan Xiaoyu seemed to see Li Tianque's thoughts, stroked his thick glasses suddenly, stared at Li Tianque and said:

"Li Tianque, since you have chosen to join the pest control company, I still want to remind you of some things. What we are doing now has nothing to do with the so-called morality, and sometimes it is even opposed.

But it is undeniable that we are also a kind of extreme justice. If you still hold some innocence and kindness that shouldn’t be there, I don’t think you are suitable for this job. "

"I……"

Before Li Tianque could speak, Duan Xiaoyu continued:
"I know you have no choice if you want to say, but if you insist on quitting, I can help you choose a painless and decent way to die."

Li Tianque's heart trembled, although Duan Xiaoyu's words sounded very uncomfortable, but he also knew very well that since he agreed to Lu Mou's choice to join the shop inspection team, he had already made the worst plan.

"Okay, I know, I will work hard to adapt to the current environment, but if my contract expires, I may also leave here."

"This is your own business." Duan Xiaoyu's eyes moved back to the computer screen.

Li Tianque originally wanted to ask Yang Tianshu's parents how to deal with it, but after hearing what Duan Xiaoyu said just now, he knew that there was no need for him to continue asking.

Li Tianque moved his gaze out of the car window, and he found that the sun was hanging high in the sky at noon at this time, it seems that a day should have passed.

"Then why did you bring Brother Bi here? Is it because he knows too much?" Li Tianque said with a smile.

"That's right, for this kind of person, he has only two choices, either be killed or join." Wu Miaoran said, looking at the fat rice dumpling in the back row through the rearview mirror.

Li Tianque looked at Bi Youqian with some sympathy, but suddenly felt an inappropriate feeling of relief.

After all, it is not a bad thing for someone as unlucky as himself to join this organization.

Li Tianque still had some questions in his mind, such as why the well spurted blood?Who is the woman combing her hair by the well that the donkey friends saw before?Those children who have been affected by Xie Hu and grew up will not be affected in the future, and so on.

But these are not important anymore, after all, it is a good thing that he is still alive now.

Li Tianque stared at the scene of pulling away from the car window, feeling very complicated in his heart. Apart from uneasiness and fear, he also had a sense of accomplishment and inexplicable joy in completing the task.

It seems that this job is not useless.
