Chapter 17 Enemies meet on a narrow road
Xiahou Shuo searched through Mu Xin's bedroom for a long time and finally found a dagger. "Found it!"
He walked closer to the firewood, pointing the cold blade at it, but the hand holding the handle was shaking. The person on the bed had no idea of the impending danger.
Xiahou Shuo had never killed anyone, not even a zombie. So facing Mu Xin, who was sleeping peacefully and looked like a normal person, Xiahou Shuo felt a little conflicted and reluctant.
He looked at the wood with a painful expression, and two voices were fighting in his heart.
One told him to make a quick decision, otherwise Mu Xin would suddenly turn into a zombie and jump up to eat him! The other said he couldn't kill him, otherwise Yan Shaohui would cause trouble for him and the Xiahou family!
But in the end, the former defeated the latter. Xiahou Shuo didn't know why the infected Mu Xin fell into a dormant state, because logically speaking, after being infected by the zombie virus, it would only take a few hours to be assimilated into a zombie, and judging from Mu Xin's appearance, he must have been sleeping for some time.
Although Xiahou Shuo could not explain these phenomena, he could not allow the slightest possibility of Mu Xin turning into a zombie. You know, the attack power of a zombie is immeasurable. If Mu Xin wakes up the next second and turns into a zombie, then he, who is powerless, will certainly not be able to escape its clutches.
Moreover, he is also responsible for Ming Xiche and his teammates.
So even though Yan Shaohui had warned him, he had no choice but to do it anyway.
He raised the dagger high, closed his eyes tightly, looked nervous, and was about to stab the sharp blade of the dagger into Mu Xin's chest.
Just before the tip of the knife touched Mu Xin's clothes, Mu Xin, who was still sleeping, suddenly opened his eyes.
He quickly grabbed Xiahou Shuo's hand holding the dagger, and then threw the dagger to the ground beside him.
"You... why did you wake up suddenly?" Xiahou Shuo was dumbfounded.
Mu Xin's eyes were clear, not at all like the look of a person who was soundly asleep.
"If I don't wake up now, I will never wake up again, Xiahou Shuo." Mu Xin said with a cold face, looking at the panic-stricken and embarrassed appearance of the person in front of him.
"You...you know me?"
"It would be strange if the young master of the Xiahou family didn't know this." Mu Xin sneered and loosened the hands that were restraining Xiahou Shuo. Xiahou Shuo then fell to the ground in panic.
Mu Xin got out of bed, picked up the water that Yan Shaohui had placed on the bedside table in the morning and took a sip, then walked to Xiahou Shuo and squatted down.
"Why are you here?"
"I came here with Xi Che. We...we all thought you were not here or had been killed by zombies...but we didn't expect to meet Yan Shaohui, and he let us stay here."
Mu Xin nodded, and he had a general understanding of the situation.
It's true that enemies meet in a narrow road. He wanted to find an opportunity to meet formally after some time.
It is really better to do it today than to wait for a better day.
Mu Xin stood up, and a hint of deep thought flashed across his upturned almond-shaped eyes.
He turned around, closed the bedroom door, and locked it. Then, under Xia Houshuo's slightly horrified gaze, he walked to the window and looked at the scenery outside.
When Xiahou Shuo saw that Mu Xin didn't say anything, he was not sure what Mu Xin wanted to do for a moment, so he could only break this very awkward situation and start talking.
"The wound on your arm was caused by a zombie's scratch, right? You are so lucky to be okay!" Xiahou Shuo pretended to be relieved.
Mu Xin, with his back to Xiahou Shuo, crossed his arms and a rare smile appeared on his cold face.
"I am indeed very lucky. The zombie virus has also transformed my body. My body now has a magical power. Do you want to see it?"
"What magical power?" Xiahou Shuo was a little confused, but also faintly excited and curious.
Then he saw Mu Xin turned around, his pair of phoenix eyes staring at him. There seemed to be a whirlpool in his pupils as deep as a dark pool, drawing all his attention into it.
"Look at me and tell me, besides you and Ming Xiche, how many other people have come to the old house?" The ghostly voice echoed in Xiahou Shuo's ears, tempting Xiahou Shuo to say what was in his heart.
"There are four more, Wang Jia, Yue Le, Zhang Ting and Jia Renzhong."
Mu Xin's eyes darkened. These people were Ming Xiche's best helpers in his previous life. Of course, these people also bullied him openly and secretly, especially Wang Jia, who loved to bully others!
Even though I have died once, I still remember these people's names deeply!
"Why come here?" Mu Xin continued to ask.
"We are going to the Xiahou family's base camp, and this is the only place we have to pass. We don't have much supplies left, so we want to stop here and rest for a few days."
"So, what is your relationship with Ming Xiche? Do you know who I am?"
"Me and Xi Che?" Xiahou Shuo tilted his head, a hint of thought flashed across his gradually empty eyes, "We are in a romantic relationship."
Then he turned his gaze to Mu Xin, "You are Mu Xin. Xi Che showed me your photo. But he said he didn't love you, it was you who insisted on pestering him. If the end of the world hadn't come suddenly, he would have planned to break up with you."
Clinging to him? Mu Xin sneered inwardly. It seemed that he was the one who was paying for everything, but if it weren't for Ming Xiche's acquiescence and indulgence, he wouldn't have gotten so deep in the trap!
If Ming Xiche had told me clearly at the beginning that he didn't like me at all, I would have given up on him reluctantly no matter how much I liked him.
Everything was just a matter of one person willing to fight and the other willing to be beaten, but now Ming Xiche has turned the tables and thrown all the dirty water on me! He is really shameless and unmatched in the world! How could I have fallen in love with such a scumbag back then!
Xiahou Shuo standing opposite him was like a doll that had lost its soul, and he answered whatever Mu Xin asked.
After Mu Xin had asked all the questions he wanted to know, he began to hypnotize Xiahou Shuo.
"Go down, lie down on the sofa and have a nap. Wake up when Ming Xiche and the others come back. When you wake up, forget everything that happened just now, including going upstairs and meeting me, okay?"
"Yes." Xiahou Shuo nodded blankly, then staggered down the stairs like an empty shell without a soul.
"This dark power is really interesting. It can actually hypnotize people." Mu Xin watched Xiahou Shuo go downstairs, then looked at the black mist that appeared in the palm of his hand and said to himself.
Indeed, after Mu Xin was infected by the zombie virus, his dark abilities were activated.
In fact, in addition to fighting the zombie virus in the body, the previous sleep was also sorting out the ice-related supernatural powers and internal strength that were running around in the body.
No one knew what had triggered it, but a cloud of black mist gushed out from his dantian, which surprised Mu Xin, whose soul had been nourished in the jade ring. He originally thought it was a virus spreading, but who knew it would be a dark power.
Mu Xin was very surprised to have awakened a dark power that was even rarer than the rare power. He originally thought that his ice power was already amazing enough, but now, an even more amazing power appeared.
He had only heard of dark powers before, which were said to be able to hypnotize and devour. But he had never actually seen it, so he was not sure.
Originally, he thought he would wake up after the zombie virus was completely cleansed by the Horcrux, but who would have thought that the Horcrux sensed that someone wanted to kill him, so he had no choice but to "wake up".
He originally wanted to use ice-type abilities to kill Xiahou Shuo, but then he thought that doing so would attract Ming Xiche's attention and suspicion, and he didn't want Xiahou Shuo to die so early, so he simply used dark-type abilities to deal with Xiahou Shuo, and by the way, try to see if dark-type abilities can really hypnotize people.
I never thought that this dark power was actually the same as the rumors said, and could really hypnotize people.
"Since it can hypnotize, can it also devour?"
Mu Xin washed his face, then walked into the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, found a bag of instant noodles and a few remaining eggs, and started to make breakfast for himself.
It had been more than a week since he had been sleeping and had not eaten. He was already hungry! Although he would not feel hungry if he drank the spiritual spring water every day in the Horcrux, once his soul returned to his body, he felt particularly hungry. So he did not care about anything else, and quickly cooked noodles for himself, and then ate them with relish.
After finishing his meal and washing the pots and pans, he thought about testing the destructive power of his dark abilities.
Mu Xin thought about it, then changed into a set of black tights, took his sword, jumped out of the bedroom window, and went to find the zombies to practice.
