Chapter 75: Blood Coffin Twelve
Twelve.
I followed and chased after Zhou Yu, and I was taken aback by the sight inside the door.
In fact, the door of this room itself is quite strange. From a distance, you can't see anything, but up close you can see that the door is metal, with extremely heavy iron cables and heavy chains, and it looks like the door of a prison cell.
I remember this room.
Because I had seen the woman who was called the deaf by the Underworld, standing at the door of this room with her back to me, and kept pecking at something with her fingers by the door.
I didn't take it seriously at all, after all, who would have thought that a woman who didn't seem to have anything wrong except for her strange behavior would be a ghost among ghosts. And who would have noticed that a door in a dimly lit corner at the end of the hallway of the inn would be a large iron door that seemed to be used to imprison the criminals.
But what was even more surprising than this door was the piece of the door that came into my eyes immediately after that.
It made me feel like I was blown away the moment I saw it.
It was a big bloody color.
Blood-like, the walls were crawling all over the walls of this small, gray room, and even the air was filled with the salty smell of blood.
I don't know if the smell came from the rusty iron door in front of me, or the blood-like stuff on the wall.
On closer inspection, they look like some kind of plant, emerging from the cracks in the wall and extending into every gap in the wall, densely covered with their amazing fecundity.
But how can plants grow on the walls of the cement brush, is it some kind of mold of strange color?
I didn't wait for me to think about it, but then there was an answer, and the answer came from the three Taoist priests who had just followed Boss Zhou up to inspect this room.
They were all standing on the west side of the room, and I couldn't see them when I first arrived, because they were a little far from the door.
It wasn't until he cautiously entered the house behind Zhou Yu that he saw all three of them standing against the wall on the west side, motionless, like three yellow candles covered in mud surrounded by a blood-colored moss.
I thought they were all staring at these walls in a daze, but suddenly the old Taoist priest turned around and shouted at Zhou Yu, which made me understand that this was not the case. He sternly told Zhou Yu not to go any further.
I immediately stopped, and I wasn't going to go any further into this horrible room.
But Zhou Yu seemed to be deaf to him, and instead walked towards the three of them even faster, crying as he walked: "What are you doing! What are you going to do!!"
But the three Taoist priests didn't seem to be doing anything.
They just didn't hold it, they just rattled and stood there motionless.
However, after a while, I finally understood, and it turned out that although the two apprentices of the old Taoist priest were indeed standing by the wall and did not make any moves, the old Taoist was moving.
But it was moving very slowly, because like his apprentice, his palms and wrists were crawling all over the walls like they were infected with germs.
That's why I realized that those things are plants, and they're plants that have an incredible ability to grow.
It seemed that the three Taoist priests were trying to pull those things off the wall just now, but they didn't expect to pull them out, not only did they fail to pull those things off the surface of the wall, but instead pulled out a large tentacle-like thing from the depths of the wall. Like the things on the wall, they were scarlet, but darker, they squirmed and hissed like living animals, and at the same time, like the rhizomes of plants, firmly wrapped around the wall behind them, and quickly moved the front tips, climbed onto the hands of the three Taoist priests when they touched them, and then drilled straight into the skin, taking root and sprouting like seeds.
The thought of the word rooting and sprouting makes my scalp tingle.
I can't imagine how those things would have felt when they got into the palms of these three Taoist priests, and they seemed to be growing through their skin and blood, as if they were going to become entangled with their flesh and blood. As a result, the two little Taoist priests couldn't move, but the distorted expressions on their faces told me that their minds were still very clear, but they couldn't move, and they didn't seem to be able to speak.
The old Taoist priest is okay. Because he was only pinned to one hand, the other hand kept shaking the bell in his hand, so fast that it was almost impossible to see the bell, but the bell never made a sound.
It turned out to be a dumbbell.
What is the use of dumbbells shaking so strongly? Although it looked confusing, it soon became clear that indeed, under his fierce shaking, the red things on the wall did not quickly encroach on his body with his trapped hand as if they were swallowing up two paths. Therefore, before Zhou Yu and I came up, he relied on this method to stalemate with the things on the wall, until Zhou Yu was about to walk up to him, he suddenly stared, gritted his teeth and screamed from his mouth, and then spurted out a mouthful of black blood from his mouth.
The blood quickly seeped into the palm of his hand where the wall was infested by the infestation.
After a while, he saw the wall in front of him hiss, and then the originally red wall turned black. You can even smell a stench of burnt flesh. Seeing this, Zhou Yu screamed urgently, hurriedly flew over, grabbed the Taoist priest, and pushed him the shoulder:
"Don't move! That's mom's blood! There's not enough blood! Don't move!"
This push didn't seem to use much strength, after all, the child was also very stimulated, so he cried and screamed so much that he had no strength at all.
But Lao Dao suddenly turned purple and knelt on the ground in great pain.
After kneeling, his whole body curled up, and cold sweat broke out, which showed that he was quite painful. But Zhou Yu didn't realize this at all, and only raised his head to stare at the changes on the wall, crying while continuing to hit Lao Dao with his fist.
This made Lao Dao spit out a mouthful of blood from his mouth again.
But unlike just now, the color of the blood was almost white, and he turned his head with great difficulty to say something to me, but after opening his mouth for a long time, he saw that the teeth in his mouth fell one by one, but he could not make a sound. So I hurriedly ran towards them, but as soon as I ran behind Zhou Yu, before I could hold him, a cold voice suddenly floated in my ears: "Don't touch him." โ
I was stunned.
I subconsciously wanted to turn my head to see who was speaking, and then realized that the voice was not coming from behind me, but from my eyeballs.
It seemed that the Snow Bodhisattva had once again broken free from his confinement, and at the moment when I was about to put my hand on Zhou Yu's shoulder, I stopped my actions and leaned back towards the old way with the hand that was stretched out to Zhou Yu.
He grabbed the bell from his hand and shook it left and right, and after three times when it rang softly, something fell out of the empty body of the bell.
When I caught it subconsciously, I immediately felt my right eyeball burn as if it were burning.
It was so hot that I wanted to jump into the ice water, but there was not even a bottle of tap water on the side, so I could only cover it with force, and at this moment I only felt that the world was spinning, as if the floor around me was about to fly, and I stumbled against the wall before I could barely stand still, at this time my hand moved uncontrollably again, driving my body to turn sharply backwards, and then my hand was raised upward, and I slapped the thing that fell out of the bell against the wall!
