Chapter 37 The Real Ruthless Man
The lights could not be turned on in the house due to the power outage, and the conversation between Zhu Jue and Jeffrey was held in front of a clock that could automatically glow.
The bowl-sized aperture can only illuminate half of their bodies.
"Drink?"
Jeffrey held a bottle of high-end wine "borrowed" from the mall like Zhu Jue and put it on the table.
When I sat down, half of my face was hidden in the darkness, and the other half was still terrified under the light.
“I prepare drinks for myself when I travel.”
Taking out the functional drink, Zhu Jue thought in his heart that he would ask the sponsor to increase the money after going back.
"Aren't you afraid of me?"
Since the other party didn't drink, he simply lifted the bottle cap and blew it at the bottle. His eyes still inadvertently glanced at the person beside him. The flesh-and-blooded pits on his face and the tentacles that were constantly twisting became more and more strange under his movements.
Jeffrey couldn't understand why the reporter had no trace of fear on his face from the moment he saw him. That was not pretending, he could feel it.
"I have seen too many monsters. You are more handsome among those guys."
He picked up the functional drink and touched the bottle, took a sip of it, and Zhu Jue said with his eyebrows raised.
This is the truth. If all the guys I met before were called to form a team, Jeffrey would definitely make his debut in the C position.
"handsome?"
Olivia was unable to match the two of them just sitting down to talk about their appearance.
"Believe me, what Zhu Jue said is true. Although this Mr. Jeffrey looks very unusual, it is really more pleasing to you than what he saw before."
As an old employee, Li Qinglian confirmed Zhu Jue’s statement. After all, Jeffrey still has a personal opinion, right?
"Yeah?"
Maybe I felt that I had become like this and could chat easily with people a little weird. Jeffrey's expression was very awkward. After pausing for a while, he found a topic and continued to talk.
"You've dealt with many monsters?"
"Of course, if you do this, you can make big news, and for example, I will record our conversation now... Don't you mind?"
Zhu Jue was also surprised at Jeffrey's calmness at this time. He thought that the other party would fall into the madness of self-denial like the person he had seen before, who was troubled by the bloodline of the Deep Diver. Now it seems that this is not the case.
"If I mind, wouldn't you take pictures?"
With a sarcastic statement, he was ready to light a cigarette for himself. The moment the flames rose, the tentacles on Jeffrey's face pressed it out, and he shattered it together with the cigarette.
They don't like fire.
He cursed in a deep voice, took out a pair of scissors from beside him, cut off the tentacles that had "caused him" in front of Zhu Jue, and lit a cigarette forcibly.
Zhu Jue looked around and smacked his lips. This was also a cruel person.
The cigarette butts were unstable, and the smoke was spit out from his mouth, circling around him under the light, and then threw the cigarette and lighter beside him. Then he turned his head and said, "I don't mind taking the video, and I know what you want to ask from me. How many requests do I have? Can you agree?"
"you say."
Zhu Jue was not in a hurry at this time. On the one hand, he faced the conversation of the terrifying monsters, which would become a very outstanding part of the video. He was sure of this; on the other hand, he actually admired Jeffrey, after all, his condition was very similar to him to some extent, but he might be more lucky.
"You have to give my daughter some money. I'm sorry for her during this period. I can't continue to protect her, and I don't want to stay by her side to harm her, so I ran here to wait for death."
"No problem, don't worry about the consultation fee. If you don't believe it, you can tell me your account now and transfer money online."
"No need, just go back and give Anna. I don't know why, I believe you, and don't think I'm normal now. In fact, I'm very confused. I can't even remember my last name. How could I remember my account? It's just that sailors on ocean fishing boats like me, in this state, are just seasickness after sleeping on the sea for a few days. It's a complete problem."
Jeffrey was a little confused in his words, swaying his palms, and the light in his pupils began to dissipate, relying on the cigarette and the spirits to refresh himself.
Even so, Zhu Jue still felt his tenacity.
As a sailor on the ocean-going fishing boat, there is no need to say much about the physical fitness. What is even stronger is actually the tenacious will trained in a long stay on the vast sea.
If it were other people, not to mention calmly cutting off the tentacles on their faces and smoking a cigarette, how could they say something like this? I am afraid that they would collapse the moment they saw tentacles appear on their faces!
"Are there any other requests?"
"Well...you said you often deal with monsters and have you ever killed monsters?"
Staring at Zhu Jue, Jeffrey had a hopeful light in his eyes.
“I’ve had those few experiences.”
"Hahaha~ It's interesting, then that's fine."
He took a sip of cigarette, raised his hand to wipe the blood from the wound on his face, and continued,
"Do you want to know why I became like this, and what are the guys in the outside town coming from?"
A few months ago, Jeffrey Taros participated in the last long-distance fishing before winter as usual. Because the captain said that there was an eruption of undersea volcanoes in the place they fished before, he could not go, so he had to change the fishing ground. As long as he could get the money, he naturally didn't care where he went.
However, it turns out that this time the route change is fatal!
"I saw... it was a huge stone pillar built in the sea. I was sure that it was not a natural product, but then I quickly realized that it was not a human creation, because no one...yes, no one would build that kind of disgusting thing. At that time, the captain asked me to dive in and take a look, and I did, and I saw... giant stones full of moss and kelp, stacked together, like they turned into some kind of architectural structure, but I didn't see any designs related to the steps, those stones... those stones..."
When a person wants to describe something, he will involuntarily discuss the situation at that time. Jeffrey's thinking is doing this now, and his way of recalling quickly caused a violent fluctuation in his spirit.
"Hey, don't continue with this topic, let's say something else."
Zhu Jue tried to stop him not because he was worried about Jeffrey's mental state, but because he found that he had just imagined according to the other party's description, and his spirit was actually affected.
"The moss on those stones dyed the entire sea water light green. I thought it was convex, but when I got closer, I found that they were sunken inwards. There was sunlight passing through the sea water and they turned green...disgusting, I felt extremely disgusting!"
"Wake up!!!"
Noting that Jeffrey seemed to be unable to control himself, Zhu Jue quickly spoke up and reminded him.
"Ahem~dream~"
The continuous dry retching sound, perhaps Zhu Jue's voice, was effective, and Jeffrey's mood was slightly calmer. He poured half a bottle of strong wine into his throat before he could barely stabilize his emotions again.
"I fainted at that time. When I woke up, I realized that I had been rescued from the boat. The captain said that something was wrong with the sea... I don't know what the problem was. We dare not stay there for too long... There were 10 people on the boat, and after I came back, my mental problems were all in trouble. It was okay for other people who did not go into the sea. At first, I just dreamed about that place, but later my body gradually changed. I didn't dare to mention this to anyone, because even if it was just memories, it would make me uncomfortable... Not to mention this, about a month ago, someone suddenly found the captain and said that he wanted to learn more about our ocean fishing. They claimed to be archaeologists, but from the first time I saw them, I knew they were not. Those guys who are in the town now are definitely not ordinary people!"
While speaking, the growth rate of the tentacles on Jeffrey's face was constantly accelerating, and he seemed to feel something, and then began to speed up his speech.
"The captain died, and the other sailors were also dead. Those people tricked them to go to the island to negotiate compensation, but none of them came back, and there were no strange fish with human hands at all. That was just a rumor they made up. It was definitely because it was raining around the town. They wanted to do other things here, but no one believed me... I returned to the island to find out the situation, but it was too late...Aren't you a reporter? You go to expose them. They should be near the sea cliff near the shipyard. I have seen them there before, and our ship is temporarily stopped there!"
Drinking all the remaining wine into his mouth, Jeffrey stood up from his position and stood in front of Zhu Jue.
"It's funny to say. I fuckingly found it difficult to do it myself. You happened to be here, so it's much easier. Haven't you ever fought with monsters? You should carry your weapons with you. Now, kill me!"
At this time, Jeffrey's whole body began to swell, and the only light in his eyes that represented rationality was almost dissipating.
"I...well."
This was the first time Zhu Jue met a monster who wanted to commit suicide. He pursed his lips helplessly. He also knew that all he could do in this situation was to give the other party a relief, otherwise Jeffrey would still suffer at that time.
Carry the weapon box to your side and take out the green-winged pistol. Zhu Jue is still ready to be happy.
"I have to say that I admire you very much. You are countless times stronger than the guy I met before who is about to become a dive."
Point the muzzle at the center of your eyebrows and pull the trigger without hesitation.
......
The moment when we waited for death to come, the chaotic thoughts diverged unlimitedly, and Jeffrey saw the scene he saw in the sea a few months ago.
Among those cities that transcend cognition built with unprecedented spatial dimensions and structures.
He saw the sleeping giant...
