Volume 3: The Eternal Kingdom Chapter 177: How to Hide Your Body?
"Li Sheng, I'm afraid the matter is not over yet, we must hold on a little longer!" When Meng Lei slowly pushed open the wooden door in front of him, it was still a hall that they were very familiar with, and the clock behind the screen was still making a regular ticking, ticking sound, and when Meng Lei saw the familiar and "cordial" scene around him, his face instantly deteriorated.
"What time is the clock and watch?" Li Sheng seemed to have guessed this ending, and opened his eyelids with all his might, shook his sleepy head, and then looked at the hour hand on the clock, and the direction of the hour hand was about to reach twelve o'clock in the morning.
"Twelve o'clock in the morning... What does twelve o'clock in the morning in ancient times represent?" Meng Lei sat on a stool beside him and pondered.
The corresponding mantra is: Use Hai as a mirror to hide your body! This riddle ..... The answer is already easy to guess!" Li Sheng sat on the stool on the other side and whispered in a hoarse voice.
"Hiding the body, but is there really a place to hide in that kind of room?" Meng Lei is really tired of it, and his nerves are on the verge of collapse, the Eternal Realm is indeed not a place where a person should stay, if they use this state to resist a wave of paper figurine attacks, the survival rate is basically infinitely close to zero, unless their ability suddenly returns, otherwise relying on the remaining few strings of Buddha beads to fight against dozens of terrifying paper figurines is completely self-defeating.
"Li Sheng, listen carefully! That voice ...... It seems to have appeared again!" Meng Lei picked up the sleepy Li Sheng next to him, and quickly shook him awake, and the familiar and strange voice in his ears suddenly came from his ears.
This sound was the strange baby cry coming from the well when Li Sheng and Meng Lei were on the first floor, and this time the cry was very close to them, and it was accompanied by a deafening fighting sound, this sound was like a shot of adrenaline, directly into the bodies of Meng Lei and Li Sheng.
"The sound seems to be very close, it must be in the hall behind us!" Li Sheng woke up from the fainting suddenly, even though they were now in the relatively safe living room on the second floor, but the danger was still not lifted, this sound was obviously the resurrected monster downstairs, it seemed to have gotten rid of the five ghosts to come to the second floor, and the screams and fighting sounds at this time were obviously the sound of entanglement with the paper people behind Li Sheng, the sound at this moment was too close, as if it had come to their ears.
This kind of voice also indicates that there is not much time left for Meng Lei and Li Sheng, if they just sit here and wait for death, and they can't think about it, then what awaits them will definitely be that monster's butcher's knife!
"Li Sheng, I'm afraid we can't rest, both horizontal and vertical are dead, it's better for us to go forward and seek a glimmer of life!" Meng Lei also stood up from the chair suddenly, and Li Sheng supported each other and walked forward, at this time, the state of the two people is not only physical torture, but also from mental oppression, if a person's nerves have been in a tense state, it is definitely a matter of time before the whole person collapses, and at this moment, Li Sheng and Meng Lei have been in a state of high tension since entering the eternal realm, if they were an ordinary person, it is estimated that they would have already had a mental breakdown and gone crazy!
"Li Sheng, are you ready, let's go in!" Meng Lei stuck his arm on Li Sheng's somewhat weak body, and the two of them glanced at each other, then showed a bitter and helpless smile, and slowly pushed out a gap in the gorgeous deadbolt in front of him.
This room is still so spacious, but carefully Meng Lei found that the decoration of this room has changed dramatically, first of all, the surrounding paper figures, although there is no change in their bodies, but the overall standing formation has undergone earth-shaking changes, this change is particularly strange, just like a very united team, but in this room there seems to be an infighting, a team of forty or fifty paper figures at this moment was divided into two teams, they are facing each other at this time, posing a posture of about to fight, as if waiting for the moment when the bell rings, the fierce battle between the two sides will begin.
But these are not the things that Li Sheng and Meng Lei are most concerned about, what they are most concerned about at the moment is whether there is a place to hide, even if the "hiding figure" in the mantra at this moment The meaning of these four words is very simple and rude, but when it comes to the actual action, they want to hide the figure but it is not as simple as imagined, the room here is completely empty, as far as you can see, except for the grimace paper figures arranged everywhere, you can't find any object that can hide the body, this situation directly made Li Sheng's heart emerge a kind of despair, it is impossible to plant his head in the soil even if he hides his body, that ass will definitely be pierced into a hedgehog by them!
"If you want to hide your body, you must only start with the paper figures, and there must be some patterns in them that we haven't discovered!" Time was already very tight, Meng Lei hurriedly came to these paper figures, and began to carefully observe every detail of the paper figures, including the knives they were holding, and began to carefully compare them, but unfortunately they still found nothing.
"Meng Lei, there is a very strange difference between them!" Li Sheng suddenly called out to Meng Lei behind him in weak words, and Meng Lei walked in front of Li Sheng like lightning.
"Although there is no difference between them, but in terms of movements, some paper figures have become very strange!" Li Sheng finished speaking, pointing his trembling hand at one of the ghost-faced paper figures, at this time all the paper figures were in a state of stretching forward, but several of them were different, their movements at this time were in a straight and upright standing state, like soldiers who made mistakes in a formation exercise, among the dozens of paper figures, it was particularly incongruous.
"I think the hiding figure mentioned in the mantra may also mean that we are hiding into their camp, which should be regarded as a method of hiding!" Li Sheng seemed to have an epiphany, and said to Meng Lei next to him with a fixed gaze.
"But... There isn't even a gap in their lineup, how can we get into their camp?" Meng Lei wrapped the bandage around his chest again, panting and asking Li Sheng.
"Since there is no place, then let's make a place to come out!" Li Sheng can't control so many rules and regulations now, if they can't find the meaning of the formula before the bell rings, what awaits them will definitely be death!
Li Sheng said to do it, directly aimed at a paper man in front of him and smashed it, the paper man deserved to be a paper man, under Li Sheng's head-on blow, he was directly smashed out of a big gap, and then Li Sheng did not let him go, only to see Li Sheng throw the body of the paper man at his feet, and began to ravage it to his heart's content, until it completely became a ball of confetti and completely adhered to the ground, and Meng Lei also followed his movements, completely crushed the other paper man into crumbs, and inserted it into the team.
But..... Li Sheng and Meng Lei's bodies are very awkward hidden in the paper man army, and in the eyes of outsiders, they are completely out of place with the grimace paper people in it, because they are wearing modern clothes, but they are standing in the middle of a group of drama costumes. At this time, there was a group of paper people standing around them, and if the paper people were to be explained in nouns, they should be regarded as paper, not people.
From one point of view, this should also be a game for Li Sheng and Meng Lei, if the paper man really has his own wisdom, then Li Sheng and Meng Lei's costumes are too obvious, and they will definitely be completely finished, but this kind of race against time, Li Sheng has no other way than to gamble!
Just as Li Sheng and Meng Lei were holding their bodies into their array, the sound of a piercing sound of banging on the clock suddenly echoed in the room, this kind of sound Li Sheng and Meng Lei were so familiar that these paper figures ..... at the same time as they heard the sound The event is about to start!
Sure enough, the moment the paper people struck the bell, the sound of squeaking and squeaking body movements began to emanate from the entire room, and the creaking sound was accompanied by the sound of the paper people starting to move, but this time their actions were very different from the previous actions of the paper people.
This time, they were completely moving in place, and I saw that they were in unison, as if they were rehearsing the art of war, and began to wield the Guan knife in their hands, and... Just as the paper figures on one side began to arrange the art of war, the paper man army standing opposite them at this moment also began to move.
But they did not line up the art of war like the paper figures on the opposite side, but lined up in a line and began to walk towards the array of soldiers in front of them, and Li Sheng and Meng Lei were standing in this group of teams at this time, and they were also helpless, so they had to follow their pace and walk towards the formation in front.
It wasn't until they walked in front of the group of paper figures who were rehearsing the formation that they suddenly stopped, they were like overseers in the array, staring carefully at the behavior of the paper figures in front of them, and suddenly ..... One of the paper men seemed to be stuck in an operation, and at this moment, the paper overseer standing next to him didn't say a word, and actually held a knife in his hand and aimed it at the neck of the errant soldier, although the paper soldier had resumed his previous actions at the last second, but the paper overseer did not have any emotion until the soldier's head was completely moved.
Li Sheng was standing behind this paper overseer at this moment, and when he saw this frightened scene, he couldn't help but take a few deep breaths, he finally understood the murderous intent hidden in this room at this moment.
This room is the easiest level in other ways, they divide the team into two parts at the moment, and divide the two teams into two opposites, when one team starts to practice the formation, and the other team begins to act as an overseer, to check whether each soldier on the opposite side is rehearsing according to the formation, if there is a slight mistake in their movements, or the slightest hesitation, then sorry, the paper overseer will directly chop off the head of the paper soldier who made the mistake。
Just when Li Sheng finally came to his senses, and the change in front of him also happened at this moment, I saw that the paper man he supervised also made a huge mistake, it should have raised its leg to make a knife but it was completely stuck at this moment, and the whole leg was stuck in mid-air and did not lift it.
And at this time, the cold sweat on Li Sheng's body began to flow down his neck completely, he should belong to the overseer of the soldier in front of him, but this paper soldier has already made a mistake, but the Guan knife in Li Sheng's hand has not fallen for a long time, he is still a little hesitant, should he immediately cut off his head?
But the Overseer behind him gave him the answer, he seemed to be very dissatisfied with Li Sheng's hesitation, Li Sheng only felt a silver dangling knife behind him aimed at his neck, accompanied by a cold wind, and at this moment Li Sheng felt the threat, I saw that he immediately aimed the knife at the head of the errant paper soldier on the side, until the head of the errant soldier was completely separated.
And at the moment when Li Sheng swung the knife out, the silver edge behind Li Sheng also stopped abruptly, at this moment, this silver dangling knife was only a fraction of a minute away from Li Sheng's neck, if Li Sheng hesitated for a few tenths of a second, then it was not the soldier next to Li Sheng who dropped his head, but Li Sheng himself!
