Chapter 527 Old WomanWhen Anzi saw Ranran stop, he looked straight into Ranran's calm eyes. He had not given up showing his determination to join the fight.
Ran Ran just looked at him speechlessly.
There was no need for him to do anything. In just a short while, Anzi's face quickly heated up, and his face and ears turned red.
Ranran couldn't help but wonder, why did she have an inexplicable liking for Anzi? Would Anzi have the same feeling as her?
Are the two of them a pair of characters bound by the system in this world?
Anzi felt that he was so hot that steam was coming out of his head, but he still stared at Ranran stubbornly.
Ran Ran suppressed his laughter and said, "When you have a weapon, I will definitely call you when I fight."
After hearing this, Anzi's eyes immediately became bright.
Ran Ran suddenly stopped and whispered, "Now you can make a contribution. Help me go to the warehouse and get all the candles."
"Remember the way? The warehouse is on this corridor, turn right."
Only then did Anzi realize that they did not go out after taking so many turns, but instead walked to a door. He did not ask any more questions, but obediently followed Ranran's instructions and went to the warehouse to get candles.
Ranran's gaze was fixed on the wooden door in front of him, a gleam in his eyes, and with a force, he actually broke the lock with his fist.
It is indeed a digital world.
A rolling pin can break gems and a fist can break a door lock, because everything is measured only by the attack value.
Pushing the door open, Ranran found that this was a very girlish room.
On the left side near the door is a very tall wardrobe with many paintings on it. Next to the wardrobe is a large dressing table filled with girls' gadgets.
Opposite the door is a window. The pink curtains are drawn, and you can see the ivy on the house opposite which is very close.
On the right is a large bed with a pure white bedspread from top to bottom and some cute lace.
Ran Ran saw the old woman lying on the bed.
Her feet and neck were bound tightly by the iron chains attached to the bed. The places where her skin met the shackles were rubbed and bleeding, and the bedding beneath her was ripped apart by her hands.
Through these traces, Ranran could roughly imagine her crazy appearance after she turned into a monster.
But at this time, the old woman just lay there quietly, even her breathing was barely audible.
After confirming that the king insect and the larvae were in a mother-child relationship, Ran Ran knew that the old woman would not survive, but this little concern was not enough to stop Ran Ran from attacking the king insect.
Not to mention that the person who died after the action was the kind old woman who took her in overnight, even if the person who died was Anzi, her companion, Ranran would not have hesitated for a moment.
The reason why the old woman is still alive is only because the larvae in her body are fully mature and live in her body. They will not die immediately without a host like the larvae, so they can struggle for a while longer.
But the mature larvae are just a spent force after the death of the queen insect.
Once the worms in the old woman's body died completely, she would die too.
Ranran walked forward and saw that she had her eyes closed peacefully.
"I have finished most of my work in this city." Ranran said softly.
The old woman opened her eyes with difficulty and looked at her, saying weakly: "It's you, thank you..."
There was no longer the previous indifference and seriousness in her tone.
In the darkness, Ranran saw tears rolling down the corners of the old woman's eyes.
That was relief and gratitude. Ran Ran asked in a low voice: "Since it is so painful, why don't you get rid of it earlier?"
Two completely opposite expressions of pain and happiness appeared in the old woman's eyes at the same time.
"I can't," she said with difficulty.
She looked into Ranran's calm and clear eyes and began to tell her story intermittently.
"I have a daughter, and she is the cutest thing in the world." The old woman took a breath with difficulty, but at this moment her face was filled with pure happiness.
"I am extremely happy every day living with her."
"Maybe I got too much happiness and God decided to take it back."
The old woman paused and continued, "We used to call this place not the City of Jewel Flowers but the City of Ewener, which means ordinary happiness."
"One day, a man in the city presented many beautiful gems to the city lord. The city lord was very happy to reward the man, but the man said he had a way to get more gems..."
The old woman looked at Ran Ran and smiled with difficulty, "You should know what the solution is, kid..."
"But we didn't know it at that time. We just found that the cattle and sheep in the city disappeared inexplicably. Later, people began to disappear. We reported it to the city lord, but he didn't want to pay attention to us at all. He was just obsessed with building his own palace."
"Later, the city lord suddenly passed away, and the man who presented the gem bribed many people with his gem, and he eventually became the new city lord."
".I still remember how lively the celebration was that night, with flowers and torches everywhere, performances, dancing, juggling, and the carnival lasted all night long."
"My dear Anna is having so much fun, with her sparkling eyes and sweet smile, she even said that she wished she could be so happy every day."
The old woman's skinny hand moved to her chest with difficulty, and she covered her heart and cried bitterly.
"How could my poor Anna know that this was the beginning of a nightmare?"
Ran Ran wanted to speak out to comfort him, but she found that her throat was so dry that she couldn't open her mouth at all.
"That night, a lot of bugs came out from nowhere, all over the city, there were so many of them, they drilled into everyone's body."
"There were screams everywhere. Anna was twitching on the ground in pain, calling for her mother over and over again."
“I wanted to hug her, but I fainted from the pain.”
"When we woke up, it was already night, and everyone seemed to be fine. But later, everyone found that they seemed to be sick. No one remembered what they had done or what had happened during the day."
"Everyone only has memories of the night, and everyone finds that they have fallen in love with meat, and even think that the rawer it is, the better it tastes. Sometimes when they see their neighbors, wives, and children, they will have the idea of eating them. Everyone feels that they are crazy. My baby Anna once ate the neighbor's cat at night."
"How she used to love that cat. She used to play with it on the grass."
"My Anna collapsed. She said she was a monster and she refused to eat meat. I watched her getting thinner and thinner day by day but there was nothing I could do."
"Later, the meat supply in the city was insufficient, and many people could not eat meat. Only the very wealthy could enjoy meat."
"Many people began to become haggard and dazed. Everyone felt very, very uncomfortable, as if something in their body was clamoring for fresh blood and flesh."
"But the carnival in the city at night is getting more and more lively. Every day, many strangers come here. But when we wake up again at night, those people are gone."
The old woman looked at Ran Ran in horror, "We warmly invited them home, but they left without saying goodbye!"
Ranran couldn't help but get goose bumps all over her body.
People who come to this city don't leave without saying goodbye... It's obvious...
