Chapter 79
Chapter 79 Fear and Lies
Under the gaze of the gun muzzle, the fused three-headed person did not dare to act presumptuously any longer.
The middle head continued to speak:
“At the very beginning, during the first few days after we got lost, my younger brother suddenly appeared one night. At that time, we even thought he was here to save people. Who would have thought that he had completely gone crazy, killed our mentor with a knife, and…”
“And he ate his flesh! That lunatic! He actually ate people!”
“That’s not true, my younger brother definitely just…!”
“That’s not your brother, that’s a devil! A cannibalistic demon!”
“Stop, stop arguing…”
Among the three heads, the one that hadn’t spoken much used its two hands to cover the mouths of the other two heads.
It smiled sheepishly at Ye Qiyan, fearing that he would shoot, and rushed to continue speaking ahead of them.
“He really went crazy. With just a knife, he killed the professor in front of everyone, ate the professor’s entire body, and then disappeared into the snow.”
“We wanted to avenge the professor, but we couldn’t catch up to that guy at all. He was simply too fast, completely unlike the speed a human should have. And then… the remaining people kept getting lost in the wind and snow for more than ten days. Every day, that guy would pop out from somewhere, kill one of us, and eat them.”
“Just when we thought everyone was going to die there, the Guide appeared, found us, and brought the three of us to this Third Supply Point.”
“The Guide left the day before yesterday. He said the road down the mountain and communications were completely cut off, and we could only rely on manpower to go down the mountain for help. He told us to stay here and wait for a while, and then we waited for you, little brother. You, you’re really sent by the Guide to rescue us, right?”
Anticipation burst forth from the eyes of the three heads.
But Ye Qiyan did not nod and answer as they had expected.
Furthermore, he had no intention of putting down the gun in his hand.
The story told by these three heads was full of holes.
Let’s not even mention how they managed to get lost in the snow for more than ten days without freezing to death when there were no material supplies.
And besides, eating people?
A normal adult male could kill someone right in front of them, and then eat the person right in front of them too?
Are these fellows all turtles?
Eating people… a lunatic?
His gaze swept across the lower body of this three-headed person.
Having not observed closely before, their lower body wasn’t just formed by the fusion of three people’s legs; inside, there were also some other redundant body parts.
Was the lunatic really the only one who ate people?
“You are lying.”
Ye Qiyan’s voice was very calm, making it impossible for anyone to discern any joy, anger, sorrow, or joy within it.
But for some reason, the three-headed person in front of him suddenly felt an indescribable fear welling up in their hearts.
“In the story you constructed, don’t you think something is missing?”
The three heads did not dare to speak; that sense of fear was making them suffocate.
“Tell me, why did you become the way you are now? In the story you told, this piece is missing.”
As soon as these words were spoken, a momentary confusion flashed through the eyes of the three-headed person, and immediately after, the roar of a snow monster resounded outside the wooden house.
But at the same time, the light of the pure purification stone radiated, and the snow monster instantly dissipated.
The three-headed person let out a piercing scream.
Blood-red tears flowed from their eyes.
“No, it’s not like that, we had no choice either! If we don’t eat, we’ll die, we’ll die!”
“It was the mentor himself who was the first to be willing to sacrifice! He committed suicide, it was suicide!”
“It was him, it was that lunatic who wrote the diary! He turned us into this appearance!”
The state of the three-headed person became increasingly frantic.
That fused body began to twist and deform, as if it had lost the support of some mysterious power, causing it to collapse because it could no longer sustain this bizarre body.
“Save, save us! Only the mountain, the end point on the mountain! Only there can we leave!”
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry! I was too hungry!”
“It’s the monsters, those monsters, they’re all coming!”
Roars again.
The difference was that the sounds outside the wooden house were no longer just one.
Instead, they were continuous, one after another.
Lifting his eyes to look.
Dozens of snow monsters of various sizes rushed toward the wooden house from all directions.
This time, the light of the pure purification stone could not dispel these snow monsters.
“They’ve completely solidified, huh? But this is fine too.”
Taking a deep breath, Ye Qiyan drew the skyhawk hanging at his waist. With dual guns in hand, he pulled the triggers.
The bullets accurately hit the snow monsters’ heads, chests, and abdomens.
Although they could avoid the attack of the pure purification stone after solidifying, it also meant they could no longer dodge his bullets.
In less than ten seconds, all the snow monsters lost their voices and collapsed to the ground.
Returning to the wooden house, the three-headed person was lying on the ground, shivering.
Their sanity seemed to have recovered quite a bit along with the fall of the snow monsters.
The middle head lifted up a little, and the gaze looking at Ye Qiyan still held a suffocating fear.
“Hmm? Have you been scared so much that you can’t even speak?”
Demon Card: Bewitchment.
Ye Qiyan had just used its second effect: [Consume Stamina, your actions will cause people to feel fear.]
The ability of the Devil Card was even easier to use than he had imagined.
Because this effect increased correspondingly with the increase in Stamina and Mental Power point consumption.
Just now, he only used 10 points of Stamina to terrify this three-headed person until they lost their sanity and fell into a state of madness.
“You can speak now. I don’t care whether you ate people or not; what I want to know is why on earth you turned into your current appearance.”
Speaking of this, Ye Qiyan’s tone suddenly became much gentler.
“No matter what, I am here to save you. As long as we figure out the situation, I will take you away. If there’s a chance, I’ll also find a way to help you change back to your original appearance. This is my duty as an exorcist~”
[Bewitchment: Consume Mental Power, the lies you speak will cause people to believe them.]
The three heads raised up one after another, believing his lie in just an instant.
“An exorcist, oh god, there really are exorcists in this world!”
“Sir, I’ll talk, we’ll talk!”
Among the three, it was still the most cowardly head that explained the reason why they became like this.
After the Guide went down the mountain, these three thought that since they had already arrived and so many people had died, if they went down the mountain dejectedly without getting anything, coupled with the negative impact of eating human flesh, their futures would probably be completely ruined.
Therefore, they took the supplies in the supply point and headed to the highest point of the snow mountain, which was the end point on the map.
There, those members of the scientific expedition team who had been eaten by them unexpectedly appeared there completely intact and unharmed.
And, that lunatic who wrote the diary.
That lunatic and a snow monster stood together, smiling at the three of them.
Immediately afterwards, everything went pitch black before their eyes, and when they snapped out of it, they were back here, and their bodies had also turned into their current appearance.
In the lower limbs, those redundant human parts were precisely from the scientific expedition team members they had eaten…
“This is a curse, a devil’s curse! It must be, it must be that we angered the devil!”
