Volume 2 The Underground Labyrinth Chapter 47 The Red Nursery Rhyme (II)
"Ding!
Two more crisp and ethereal voices sounded in a row, and in an instant, the area of the double ring aperture in the study was several times larger than before.
The reincarnation magic circle that originally only occupied the entire study room became extremely huge at this time, and the golden vortex enveloped the entire Liu family mansion in it, and every brick and tile exuded a golden light full of Haoran mana.
Bathed in the golden mana that was as warm as the sun's radiance, Shen Xiaolang felt more comfortable than he had ever felt before. At the same time, he found that the wounds on his body, even the torn clothes and the lost physical strength were all miraculously healed.
Here, Shen Xiaolang was still enjoying the comfort brought to him by the vast mana in the study, and he forgot about the two people in the courtyard for a while.
Turning the picture to the other side, Ding Xiaofan is still deeply trapped in the grief of Liu Lixue's death and cannot extricate himself. The doctor, on the other hand, looked meaningfully at the reincarnation circle not far away, and said to himself, "The last artifact has finally been destroyed......
After all, the doctor, who has never been smiling, laughed softly this time. It felt subtle, like a child who had succeeded in his mischief.
"Ding Xiaofan, doctor, the reincarnation circle has opened, let's leave now!" As soon as he came back to his senses, Shen Xiaolang hurriedly ran to the courtyard and reminded the two of them to leave quickly.
However, in response to Shen Xiaolang's reminder, the doctor stopped and said, "Don't worry, this magic circle will automatically take us back to the real world." Otherwise, we won't be able to go anywhere. ”
Sure enough, as soon as the doctor's voice fell, a dazzling silver light flashed in the courtyard, and the surrounding scenery changed rapidly. Immediately afterward, the original house and the corpses on the ground disappeared, and the three of them returned to the cave where they had been.
After the golden circle gradually disappeared, the surroundings suddenly became pitch black again. Not only that, Shen Xiaolang was horrified to find that Ding Xiaofan, who was originally holding Liu Lixue tightly, was now holding a corpse that had already decomposed!
In addition, Ding Xiaofan was actually the same as the people embedded in the ground outside the cave before, more than one-third of his body had fallen deep into the dirt full of wreckage and white bones!
"Ding Xiaofan, wake up, what's wrong with you, come to your senses!" Seeing this, Shen Xiaolang hurriedly stepped forward and dragged Ding Xiaofan's arm, trying to stop him from continuing to be swallowed by the ground.
"It's useless, he's unconscious. As he spoke, the doctor pushed Shen Xiaolang aside, chanting strange and incomprehensible spells in his mouth, while violently tapping Ding Xiaofan's Heavenly Spirit Gai with his palm.
One, two, three...... Ten times...... Twenty strokes...... I don't know how many times the stroke was made, but the doctor suddenly increased the force of the strike, and each blow seemed to smash his skull.
"Witch dead bones, witch dead bones, corpse soul Strekong!town!convex mud, corpse mud, silent!" After reciting the incantation, the doctor suddenly pointed his index finger at Ding Xiaofan's eyebrows.
At the same time, the doctor hurriedly waved the scalpel and quickly cut off the hands of the corpse that was choking Ding Xiaofan's neck. Immediately after, the corpse that tried to devour and assimilate Ding Xiaofan instantly turned into a pile of withered fragments.
"Where is this? Lixue? I want to save her, I will definitely be able to save her!" As soon as he came to his senses, Ding Xiaofan picked up a seemingly sharp skeleton fragment from the ground and cut it off his wrist in a panic.
But at that moment, an oncoming stone knocked the skull fragment in his hand to the ground.
"Liu Lixue is not dead at all, what you just saw is just an illusion. Wake up quickly, otherwise it's really too late!" After dragging Ding Xiaofan up from the ground, Shen Xiaolang sighed and muttered to himself, "Perhaps, it's too late......"
Hearing Shen Xiaolang's words, Ding Xiaofan gradually calmed down, "What's the matter? Why is it so dark here? Haven't we already returned to the Liu family's mansion?"
"This is a cave in the Valley of the Devil's Eagle, and we didn't go out of the confines of this cave. He turned on his own flashlight and handed another flashlight to Ding Xiaofan, and the doctor continued, "Moreover, if you go back now, it should be too late." ”
"What! what do you mean?" Hearing this, Shen Xiaolang looked at the doctor standing next to the coffin with an incredulous expression.
"That's right, time has stood still since we fell under the Mirror Spell. Therefore, it is only half past nine in the morning, and there are still more than two hours left before the pumpkin juice expires. As he spoke, the doctor jerked the lid of the coffin open.
However, to the surprise of the three of them, the red-haired ghost who originally thought that would appear after breaking the spell still did not appear this time. In addition to a translucent green cylinder, there was a small handful of golden hair in the coffin.
"Could it be that this ghost has already left long before we came here?" "It's just right to leave, save us trouble!" Obviously, Shen Xiaolang and Ding Xiaofan didn't pay attention to the empty coffin in front of them.
But although they didn't care, the doctor, who had always been calm, became extremely nervous at the moment. "It's time to come!" sighed, and the doctor first tucked the golden hair into the skin compartment on his wrist, and then removed the corpse fungus from the coffin.
So in this way, the thousand-year-old corpse fungus was put into a leather case and wrapped, and the doctor directly handed it over to Shen Xiaolang along with the eyes of the ghost head eagle and the ox tongue grass.
Unlike when they were in the illusion world before, Ding Xiaofan and the others did not encounter bandits or other people who did not belong to modern times. Of course, they didn't encounter the legendary martial saints Guan Yu and Red Rabbit Horse, so they could only hike back to Yongle Village.
"I said, can you slow down? Even if you arrive at the Liu family's mansion in time, without me, Zhang Tianlin's poison will not be cured. On a dilapidated highway, Shen Xiaolang was panting behind Ding Xiaofan and the doctor.
And Ding Xiaofan, who was running at the front, was really concerned about the safety of Liu Lixue who stayed at home at this time.
Because, although he knew that it was an illusion, the scene of Liu Lixue lying on the ground covered in blood still lingered in his mind until now, and it always lingered.
Xiao Yi, Xiao Yi, why are you, why don't you want to be friends with me? On the way back to the village, Ding Xiaofan's ears suddenly sounded a crisp and ethereal singing. The sound was eerie, like the sound of the wind whistling by.
Do you remember the promise you made when you were a kid? I think you forgot. We have promised, we have promised. Since you've long forgotten, relive the memories between us in red......
After pausing in place for a few seconds, just as he was about to continue his journey, Ding Xiaofan heard the strange singing voice in his ears again. Not only Ding Xiaofan, but at this moment, even the doctor and Shen Xiaolang, who was not far behind him, couldn't help but stop.
Xiao Yi, Xiao Yi, when the cold dagger slashes through your white skin, will you feel cold? Xiao Yi, Xiao Yi, don't be afraid, because this bright color, it is as fiery as our friendship......
The strange singing continued to float in the air, but although the content of the song could be heard clearly, Ding Xiaofan and the others could not find where the source of the sound was.
The only thing that is certain is that it was a girl about fourteen or fifteen years old who was singing. And under normal circumstances, how could an underage girl appear alone on this wilderness road that has not been repaired for more than 20 years?
Thinking of this, Ding Xiaofan hurriedly entered a demonic state, and looked around vigilantly.
However, at this moment, a pink afterimage suddenly flashed across the road and disappeared from the sight of the three of them in an instant.
"Xiao Fan, did you see the true face of that figure just now? While nervously taking out the compass and money sword from the black cloth bag, Shen Xiaolang cautiously approached Ding Xiaofan's side and asked in a low voice.
Hearing Shen Xiaolang's words, Ding Xiaofan shook his head indifferently, "No, her speed is too fast, so I didn't have time to see her clearly." ”
"Can't even your demon pupil be captured?, no wonder my compass doesn't react......" Hearing this, Shen Xiaolang had no choice but to put the compass and the money sword back into the black cloth bag hanging from his waist.
"Although I didn't see her clearly, I know where she went!" As soon as the words fell, the demonized Ding Xiaofan turned into an afterimage and rushed towards Yongle Village at a speed far beyond the limit of human beings.
Seeing this, the doctor put his arm across Shen Xiaolang's face, "Grab my arm, but remember not to touch my hand, unless you want to die." Also, you must not let go on the way. Because if you fall into the gap between time and space, you will never come back. ”
After some psychological struggle, Shen Xiaolang finally made up his mind and grabbed the doctor's crumpled arm tightly, "I'm ready, let's go." ”
Nodding slightly, the doctor raised his left hand and pinched a strange handprint in midair. Then, dozens of dazzling colorful lights erupted around the two of them, and the bodies of Shen Xiaolang and the doctor gradually became translucent until they completely disappeared from the spot.
Here, in less than five seconds, the doctor and Shen Xiaolang had already returned to Yongle Village, twenty kilometers away.
On the other side, Ding Xiaofan was still desperately chasing the pink figure that was not far in front of him, but he couldn't get close.
Under the continuous acceleration, Ding Xiaofan had inadvertently overtaken several cars passing by accidentally. But despite this, he was unable to close the distance between himself and the strange figure.
"Damn! since you can't catch up......" As he spoke, Ding Xiaofan, who was physically exhausted, suddenly stopped, and stood in place and raised his right hand that released the hellfire to his chest, and quickly aimed at the direction where the pink figure was far away.
But just as he was about to attack it, the figure that seemed to be slow and slow disappeared from his sight.
However, as soon as Ding Xiaofan withdrew the magic power of the hellfire, a black armored car with the word TX printed on the door that had been overtaken by him not long ago whizzed past and stopped at the intersection about five meters away in front of him.
Not only that, but the next moment, the four people who walked out of the black armored car made the atmosphere extremely tense.
Because among the four people who got out of the armored car, two of them, Ding Xiaofan, had seen them before. That is, the one-eyed director wearing a gray trench coat and Gao Yan, the peacekeeping captain wearing a set of dark red biochemical battle armor and known as a human tank.
As for the other two, one of them, a middle-aged beautiful woman wearing a white coat, gold-rimmed glasses, and long blond over-the-shoulder hair, and a great figure and appearance, is the head of the chemistry department of TX, Dr. Yang Shuqing Yang.
And the last one is about fifteen or sixteen years old, although she looks petite and cute, and she is dressed in a school skirt, but she carries four katanas behind her, and her temperament is as cold as an iceberg.
"It's been a long time, Ding Xiaofan. Since we met here, let's end it by the way!" As soon as the words fell, Gao Yan couldn't wait to pull out the two steel knives hanging from his waist and rushed towards Ding Xiaofan.
Putting aside the situation of the battle between Ding Xiaofan and Gao Yan for the time being, the picture will be transferred to the Liu family's mansion. After listening to Shen Xiaolang's description of the strange singing and the content of the song on the way back to the village, except for Liu Lixue, the faces of the other five people in the hall all changed greatly.
"You said you heard the red nursery rhyme on the way back?" is it true!" After pondering for a moment, Liu Siye still asked in disbelief.
Hearing this, Shen Xiaolang hesitated for a few seconds, then nodded and said, "That's right, I did hear it." Not only did we hear the singing, but we also saw a pink figure. Xiaofan didn't come back with us just to chase her. ”
While putting the ox tongue grass and mandala and the thousand-year-old corpse fungus into the pumpkin juice and mashing it, Shen Xiaolang looked at the fourth master sitting opposite with a puzzled expression, "But what is the red nursery rhyme you just said? I don't think that kind of weird song can be compared to nursery rhymes." ”
Facing Shen Xiaolang's question, Liu Siye sighed deeply: "That is a legend a long time ago. Legend has it that there is a terrible nursery rhyme, but anyone who listens to this nursery rhyme will not end well, either dead or crazy. ”
After the last mandala was also mashed, Liu Siye put down the wooden stick in his hand and continued to explain, "Because there are many words similar to bright red, miserable red or terrifying red in it, it is named red nursery rhyme." ”
This story is pure fiction and will be continued
