Volume 3: The Eternal Kingdom Chapter 156: The Ghost in the Palace!
"Something is wrong! Compared to the kind of rotting corpse in front, how could this corpse be..."Compared to Li Sheng's strange thoughts, Meng Lei at this time seemed much more normal, he looked at this corpse that was still bright after hundreds of years of precipitation, and he was very puzzled.
"Damn, what kind of corpse is this? This is clearly a layer of paper!" Li Sheng obviously belongs to the kind of person who is not high in art, but has great courage, he completely left his incapacitated thing behind him at this time, and even reached out directly and began to touch this mutilated corpse.
"This.... It's so realistic! It's really incredible!" Meng Lei also tried to touch this corpse with his hands, and the moment he touched it, his entire body trembled violently with shock, if they didn't touch it with their hands, they might never notice it....... This corpse is actually a paper human shell.
It's so realistic, this is simply the highest level of a work of art, even every vein, every joint is done vividly, even every wrinkle of the expression is so vivid, and at this moment the most real place of this artwork is.... Traces of blood that have dried up completely from the mutilated parts of the body.
"This is indeed blood, yes!" Meng Lei hurriedly sniffed in front of the blood, and came to this creepy conclusion, this is a paper man! What about scarlet blood?
"Wu~~~...."Just as Li Sheng and Meng Lei dragged the entire space into silence because of their shock, the sound of someone pushing open the paper wooden door suddenly came from behind them, and it also successfully destroyed this quiet atmosphere in an instant.
"Someone seems to be coming! quickly find a place to hide" Meng Lei shuddered the moment he heard the voice, and shouted anxiously towards Li Sheng.
Meng Lei knew that this was the Mirror of Eternity! Who knew what demons and monsters were waiting for them behind them?
"I didn't steal, I didn't rob, I didn't cuckold him, what are you afraid of?" Li Sheng subconsciously prepared to take out his Zhiyang God, and then give it a set of happy gift packages, but at this time he remembered that he couldn't use his ability at all.
"Do you want to spit and drown him, hurry up and find a place to hide!" The sound of slapping on the wooden plank behind him became heavier and heavier, and the sound became louder and louder, Meng Lei's face changed and he hurriedly urged.
"Hey, squeeze it, move your ass a little!" Meng Lei saw a wardrobe next to him and hurriedly hid it, and Li Sheng also squeezed it desperately behind him.
"Move a fart! the door can't be closed, go find a place by yourself!" The reality is always cruel, and flying separately is the eternal truth when disaster comes, Meng Lei hurriedly kicked Li Sheng off the closet.
The footsteps outside the door of the "black ....." had already pushed the second wooden door open, and it was only the last bolt in front of Li Sheng, and it would completely appear in front of Li Sheng, but Li Sheng was still looking around at the moment, and he never found a place that could accommodate his body.
"Huh, it seems that you can hide under the bed!" Just when the footsteps were completely approaching the door, Li Sheng finally rushed his body under the bed, and the door was completely opened at this moment.
"It's worthy of the realm of eternity, hey, it's really funny!" When Li Sheng swept the whole body of this uninvited guest through the cat's eyes under the bed, Li Sheng completely revealed a loveless look, and his expression was a little more helpless, a little more habitual, he lowered his head and sighed, and muttered
I saw that this man was wearing a black-brown dress, a bowler hat on his head, and the word "wealth" was engraved on it, and he was holding a bronze dagger in his hand at this time, and he kept scanning everything around him with a pair of miserable red eyes.
Although this man is here for the first time, Li Sheng is already familiar with him anymore, because this man.... It's the mutilated corpse paper figure lying in the cubicle just now, it's exactly the same.
But there is also one difference, the man who came in at this time had his legs intact, and he didn't look injured at all.
However, Li Sheng would never dare to go out to "drink liquor and make friends" with him at this time, because at this time, his whole body was shrouded in a layer of pitch-black aura, the dagger in his hand flashed with a strange white light, and more importantly, his fierce and vicious face seemed to tell the people around him: "Don't let Lao Tzu see you, otherwise I will chop you into fish-flavored shredded meat!"
But fortunately, the man did not stay long, and after he looked around and saw that there was nothing unusual, he began to turn and walk out of the hall, and closed the door lightly.
After the man in the bowler hat walked for a full minute, Li Sheng finally couldn't stand the silence anymore and hurriedly crawled out from under the bed.
"Meng Lei, Meng Lei, why haven't you come out yet?" Li Sheng glanced around, and after making sure he was safe, he walked behind the closet where Meng Lei was hiding and shouted.
"Shhhhh
"Don't make a sound!" Meng Lei said lightly with his mouth in Li Sheng's ear, and the two men hugged each other motionless at the moment, as if it was an alternative sculpture carved by an artist.
As the sound of tapping on the plank became smaller and smaller, Meng Lei finally let go of his embrace, and Li Sheng's worried heart slowly calmed down, but fortunately, the dome man seemed to walk up the corridor.
"Did you see it just now? That person is exactly the same as the paper figure in the compartment!" Li Sheng said as he slowly calmed his breathing.
"I'm sure the man in the yarke-hat who came in is no longer human! It's completely a soul body state composed of a layer of black qi, it's just too strange!" Meng Lei thought deeply against his chin.
"I'm used to it, even if there is an elephant popping up in the Eternal Realm now, I won't be surprised! Let's get out of here first!" Li Sheng patted Meng Lei's left shoulder as he was pondering, signaling him to prepare to leave.
"Wait! There seems to be a note here!" Just the moment Meng Lei withdrew his gaze from the corpse of the paper man in the compartment, there was an inconspicuous note on the window with the red wooden wall.
Meng Lei slowly spread out this small note, and inside it was a sentence written by someone with a modern ballpoint pen refill: Hello strange friends, you are already in extreme danger at this time, you must avoid the wandering ghosts, I will wait for you on the third floor, come to me alive, good luck to you- Light and ink are separated!
"Isn't Lu Li the master of this world? Could it be that everything here is arranged by him?" Li Sheng's ideal master is omnipotent in this world, why does this Lu Li still have to use such a child's behavior as leaving a note? Li Sheng is really unpredictable!
"If I were Lu Li, I would never play such a boring game at this time, this sentence actually only contains one meaning: there should be some huge changes in this world, even he can't fully control it, so he has no choice but to leave this kind of note for us!" Meng Lei slowly stuffed the note into his pocket and explained to Li Sheng in a deep voice, and even Li Sheng was quiet the moment he finished speaking.
"Neither can use the ability, nor can we seek Lu Li's help, maybe we..." At this time, even the optimistic Li Sheng changed his normal, and his words revealed a sense of decadence, the situation has indeed reached the most critical time.
"Don't be discouraged, we just need to get the map now and find the way up to the third floor, and Lu Li will definitely help us when the time comes!" Although Meng Lei's face was not good-looking, he still reluctantly squeezed out a smile to comfort Li Shengdao.
"I hope so!" Li Sheng was not pretentious, adjusted his mood, and continued to walk forward with Meng Lei, until a brand-new paper wooden door appeared in front of them again, Li Sheng and Meng Lei glanced at each other tacitly, and then pushed open the door bolt in front.
"Damn! I'm scared to death, what the hell is going on, what the hell is going on..... What happened that night in the palace?" Li Sheng shuddered the moment he pushed open the door, only to see him slowly look up, a terrifying figure hanging on the beams of the house kept shaking.
At this time, Li Sheng and Meng Lei pushed open a bedroom on the left side of the hall, the whole bedroom is not big, and the decoration is very ordinary, like a maid's room living alone, and at this time in the middle of the house, there is an old maid hanging on the beam of the house with a rope, without any external help, the maid is shaking in the room.
It was an elderly woman, her collapsed hands were covered with calluses, and the strangest thing was that the old woman was also mutilated, her right shoulder was completely hollow, her whole arm was missing at this time, the gap was covered with red blood, all the way to the floor below, and both eyes were so wide with a great sense of suffocation that they were almost trying to burst out, and it looked very scary.
"Sure enough, this is also a paper man!" Meng Lei stood on the stool and stretched out his hand to touch the old maid's right foot, this rough feel is definitely a paper man.
"Li Sheng, you go and search the side to find some useful information!" After Meng Lei finished instructing Li Sheng, he began to grope carefully on the old servant's body.
"Meng Lei, I found this, come and take a look!" As soon as Li Sheng opened the cabinet, he saw a stack of photos, and Meng Lei hurriedly walked down from the stool.
"These seem to be family photos of the servants, but they were taken during the Qing Dynasty, and they are not very clear!" Li Sheng handed several black-and-white photos in his hand to Meng Lei and said.
"Hey, Zhao Chunlai? This should be the name of this maid! Look, this man should be the man in the round hat just now, Liu Mao? Why do these photos have names on them?" Meng Lei stared at one of the photos of the two people and said suspiciously, because the two people in the photo were actually circled with a ballpoint pen and their names were written, it seems that these materials have been prepared for Meng Lei and Li Sheng!
"Look! There's a broken map here!" Just as Meng Lei was carefully examining the photo, Li Sheng seemed to have made a new discovery in the cabinet, and hurriedly took it out and prepared to hand it to Meng Lei next to him.
But Li Sheng, who was in the head of excitement, didn't notice a glass vase on the table at all, and at the moment when he turned his body, the vase fell straight to the ground, and the huge crisp cracking sound with endless echoes was like a huge cannon battle of kings and kings, and a huge noise suddenly burst out in this silent mansion, and the sound lasted for three or four seconds.
And just as the piercing sound of shattering ended, the footsteps of the machinery slamming on the planks suddenly began to sound outside the room, and the footsteps were still overlapping alternately, and they were getting closer and closer to the sound of this small bedroom, they must have been attracted by the loud noise!
