Chapter 692 Keep Crying
But for now, I prefer the third possibility.
September, think carefully, have we seen many strange plants and animals on the road along the way?
For example, there are animals that look like wild beasts, but when their fur is peeled off, they are full of plant roots and juices;
Plants that look like plants, but have the ability to hunt and imitate;
...and those mushrooms and fungi that look like jellyfish...
We can make a bold guess.
Could it be that some special fungus happened to devour your brother's body and copied his thoughts and life appearance...
In this, everything is possible.”
The more Jiang You spoke, the weirder Jiu Yue's expression became.
She looked at the monster standing aside and watching the two of them quietly, and suddenly realized that the monster had not spoken again during the time she had her eyes open.
I was wondering why this monster stopped talking.
Jiang You took out something that looked like a hose from somewhere and threw it to her.
Then came a white lung, heart, stomach, and even kidneys...
"Look, this is the throat I pulled out. It looks 80% similar to humans, but it doesn't have complete organ functions, which makes it difficult for these monsters to pronounce..."
“I just cut open the abdomen of a monster and found that they were just imitating the human form, with only empty shapes.
They do not have a human digestive system.
No matter how similar it looks, it is still a plant.
A plant that can learn to mimic human emotions.
In a sense, perhaps life in the abyss cannot be defined with simple words like plants or animals.
The boundary between animals and plants is very blurred here... Perhaps, this is a new species..."
Jiang You explained seriously, it was not that she had patience.
Instead, this monster obviously inherited the memories and emotions of September's brother, and has a special feeling for September.
Only by establishing communication between the two of them could Jiang You get more information.
……
At this moment, Jiu Yue was holding a pile of heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys, and her head was buzzing.
God knows, she was still immersed in fear a second ago.
I just felt that this cave was filled with a strange atmosphere.
But now, she had inexplicably switched to biological sciences, and this sudden turn made her unable to keep up with the pace.
Just when her head was dizzy, she saw Jiang You poke his hand directly into the belly of the monster standing next to him, getting his hand covered with sticky blood plasma, and then he licked it casually.
The bright red mucus dripped from the corners of her lips, contrasting with her pale skin, making her look like a morbid ghost.
She calmly stated her experience, "This monster doesn't look very good to eat, but the liquid has a light sweetness and floral scent. To be honest, it tastes good."
"younger sister--"
The monster looked at Jiang You thoughtfully for a while, then slowly broke off one of his little fingers.
Holding it in the palm of his hand, he passed it to September, his expression was just like when he was a child, his brother would find something delicious and always hide it secretly, and he would also pass it to him so gently...
Jiu Yue couldn't stand the visual stimulation, so she threw away the things in her arms, ran to the side and vomited.
Jiang You: "..."
The monster tilted its head, seemingly confused.
It learned Brother September's memories, but it seemed that it did not learn them completely.
The air suddenly became quiet, with only the sound of September retching.
Jiang You looked at the monster pitifully.
"Forget it, she's not very hungry, give it to me." He reached out and took the broken little finger.
The little finger looks like a human finger, but the cross section is a bit like the color of beetroot, and the texture is a bit hard and not crispy enough.
It's like a combination of yam and beef tendon.
She couldn't help but marvel at the magic of life.
If Xiao Baiyin were here, he would definitely like this special snack.
The wine brewed in Chenjia Village contains all kinds of ingredients that look inedible. Jiang You is used to it.
When faced with such a strange life form, it is impossible to say that I am not afraid at all.
But fear can't solve anything.
She chewed the "yam" in her mouth calmly, with no emotion in her eyes.
"Kacha~Kacha~"
After Jiuyue finished vomiting, he prepared himself mentally for a while before finally being able to calmly face this monster that he had killed countless times.
"Jiang You, as you said, my brother really died here, then whose was the skeleton we saw by the stream?" Jiu Yue was a little suspicious.
Jiang Youxin said, this is your memory, how could I know?
"The skeleton was just wearing your brother's shoes, but we can't be sure that he is your brother just because of a pair of shoes."
Jiang You took her to see a body that had grown into the ground in a dark corner.
There was no sign of decay on the body. Although the body had become limp and deformed, the skin was still lifelike. It was just that the strange plants growing on the skin made it look a little disgusting...
Jiu Yue stared at the body on the ground, then looked at the monster outside.
After listening to Jiang You's explanation, she was silent for a long time.
"You mean, those monsters came out from here?"
Jiang You nodded, "I suspect this is your brother's body. He arrived at this place before you..."
September knelt on one knee on the ground, carefully looking at the deformed body on the ground.
After a while, she was almost certain that this was her real brother.
“…This is…my brother…”
She choked with sobs, and could not help but let her body go limp. She fell to the ground and cried loudly, as if she wanted to release all the grievances and despair in her heart one by one.
The cold, damp moss pressed against my face, soft and sticky.
Jiang You's originally calm gaze suddenly froze.
She looked in disbelief at the body that had merged with the ground. At that moment, she seemed to see the chest of the body rise and fall.
Is it an illusion?
Jiang You narrowed his eyes and stared carefully. After half a minute, he saw another faint rise and fall.
However, this situation did not occur when she came in to observe.
The only change between now and then is...
She gradually turned her gaze to the crying September.
Jiu Yue's brother might not be dead yet...
He just sleeps...
Yes, that's right. In the abyss, the boundaries of all creatures are very vague.
Who says he must be dead?
Who said he couldn't be between life and death...
While Jiang You was thinking, Jiu Yue had already accepted the reality.
She stopped crying and just shed tears silently.
Jiang You frowned and suddenly said, "Keep crying, cry louder."
Jiu Yue, who was originally in tears, suddenly paused, suspecting that she had just heard wrongly, "What did you say?"
"I told you to cry louder."
"why?"
"I doubt your brother is dead yet."
"But he has become like this."
"Have you forgotten? This is in the abyss..."
"So my brother might actually still be alive?!"
Jiu Yue quickly wiped the tears from her eyes and asked, "Is there any way to take him away?"
Hearing that there was still hope for her brother, she was filled with joy and couldn't cry anymore.
All I wanted was to save him and take him away.
"I'll let you cry louder."
"I...I can't cry anymore..."
September blinked her dry eyes, and her throat became a little hoarse from crying and screaming.
I saw that she really couldn't cry anymore.
Jiang You lowered his eyes slightly, "Are you really unable to cry anymore?"
"real."
"Then, I can only do it myself..." Jiang You began to roll up his sleeves and spoke softly.
"September, if a girl is bullied, she must cry out loudly. If you don't cry, no one will know your grievances."
