I remember walking alone to the tent, but the person who greeted me shouted "you two", and I didn't see anyone around...... Could it be that I have met a ghost?

When I looked at each other in amazement, the man shouted again, "What about you two, what are you rubbing around there?"

I looked sideways again, and my left and right were still empty, but there was a feeling of proximity behind me. A chill ran down my spine.

I was about to turn around, but Tao Siyu's voice came from behind: "Don't be afraid, I'm behind you." ”

At the same time that I was relieved, my heart suddenly tightened - Tao Siyu's skills were so strong that he could cling to me without being noticed by me!

Before I could be shocked, the man on the other side had already shouted angrily: "You two are deaf, come over to me!"

Tao Siyu and I can't think about it. After Tao Siyu and I walked over with our heads down, the man raised his leg and kicked me: "How deaf are you? Roll over, lift the corpse, and follow me to the elder." ”

I suddenly let out a "pop" in my heart, and my right hand unconsciously touched the handle of the gun at my waist. Tao Siyu touched me behind her, and she probably meant: It's worth the risk, at least we can get to the edge of the headquarters in the name of it.

I thought about it quickly. If we turn around and do it now, not only will we not get any information, but we will also be besieged by the other side, so it is better to take the risk and give it a try, maybe there will be greater gains.

I hurriedly lowered my head and followed Tao Siyu behind the man and walked to the northwest of the camp. According to the location of Qimen, the northwest should be where the ghost gate is located, and the torture hall places the corpse in the northwest of the camp, which should mean to send the ghost back to its place. But when I followed the man to the northwest corner of the camp, I couldn't help but be stunned on the spot.

We entered through the camp entrance, not noticing anything unusual until we approached the northwest and saw a circular trench dug out of the area, filled with barrels of gasoline.

In the middle of the trench were rows of stretchers, and on each stretcher lay a corpse covered with a white cloth, more than half of which had been stained red with blood, and the remaining half had dried blood.

It can be seen from the blood marks on the cloth that the corpses here have increased more than once, otherwise, the corpses would not have been stacked into two layers, and there would not have been a situation where the blood of the upper corpse was still dry, but the blood of the lower corpse was brown.

What really struck me was not the bodies piled up in front of me, but the gasoline in the trenches. I once heard people say that the most feared thing for a corpse that has just undergone a corpse transformation is fire, and as long as there is fire, there is no fear that the walking corpse will burst out and hurt people.

The gasoline in the trench was clearly prepared to prevent the corpse.

I had just taken a few looks, and the man in the lead said sharply, "What do you see, why don't you hurry over and carry someone? Two more people over there, carry up the corpse below, and follow me. ”

Tao Siyu and I stepped on the wooden planks on the trench, walked to the clearing, lifted a stretcher with blood dripping on it, and followed the man in the direction of the command post. We walked all the way, and the blood on the corpse was also spilled.

The more I walked, the more frightened I became—the blood in a person's body is limited after all, and it is impossible for the blood to run dry, unless that person can continue to make blood at a rate hundreds or even thousands of times faster than a normal person, or someone is constantly transfusing blood to him.

But what we are carrying is a corpse, and the most distinctive place for the blood stains on the corpse cloth is the blood line between the front chest and the lower abdomen of the corpse, which is obviously a dead man who has been disemboweled, where does the blood on his body come from?

Tao Siyu walked in front with his back to the corpse, maybe he didn't feel anything, but the more I walked, the more dizzy I felt, like a person who had drunk too much, every step I felt like I was swaying left and right, and the corpse in front of me also appeared one after another.

My two hands on the stretcher became softer and softer, as if I didn't need any strength: "Brother, slow down, I can't ...... hard"

I wanted to remind Tao Siyu that something was wrong here, and asked us to go over and carry the corpse The man walked over a few steps and slapped me on the back of the head: "Don't look at the corpse, hurry up, see too much, Lao Tzu doesn't have time to pull you." ”

After being slapped hard by him, I suddenly sobered up a lot, quickly raised my head, and strode forward, until I was led into the command post by the man, and I was relieved.

The man commanded, "Put the bodies side by side on the ground, and you all go out and wait." ”

A dark and thin old man suddenly said: "There is no need to go out, let them go over there and smell the fragrance of awakening souls, sober and sober." ”

"Thank you for the grace of Elder Wang. The leader said, "What are you doing in a daze, don't hurry up and thank the elder." ”

"Thank you for your grace. "After thanking the elders as the others did, I bowed my head and walked to the corner of the command post, where the incense burner on the table had three sticks of cyan incense the thickness of little fingers.

The incense had already been lit on the incense stick, but the ashes had not yet fallen under the incense burner, and it seemed that the three incense sticks had not been lit before we came in. The elders of the Torture Hall will personally light incense for a few low-level disciples to ward off evil spirits?

I just wanted to remind Tao Siyu to be careful, but I saw that she quietly stuffed two soybean-sized pills into her nose, but fortunately, the others only cared about smelling the fireworks on the green incense and didn't notice her movements.

As soon as I frowned, Tao Siyu stuffed two pills into my hands: "Don't smell it." ”

I pretended to rub my nose and shoved the pill into my nostrils, and my eyes quickly scanned the command post.

The only command post built of wood in the entire camp is divided into two rooms, about 100 square meters, there are five people sitting in the command post, but there are eight teacups on the table, it seems that there should be three people living in the inner room, and these three people must be of great seniority, otherwise, they will not sit still in the house when the five people outside have gotten up.

The identities of the five old men in the outer room should not be much different, one of them is an elder of the torture hall, then the other four should at least be at the level of an elder.

Elder Wang in the distance had already spoken, "Everyone, please see, this is the corpse of the disciple we sent to Shimen Pass three times. ”

A white-faced elder asked, "All three batches of disciples are dead?"

"More than seventy percent of the people are missing, and three out of ten are seriously injured even though they have come out, and none of them have lasted more than 12 hours. Elder Wang said in a deep voice, "This time, the price we paid is too great. ”

I saw at least a hundred corpses in the trench, if this was only the three horses sent into the Black Bamboo Ditch by the Torture Palace, then the Torture Hall had already lost at least three hundred elites, plus the people trapped in the secret realm of the mechanism, the Torture Hall should have paid the price of nearly five hundred people.

Five hundred people, whether in ancient times or now, is enough to rival a sect of considerable scale. To what extent has the power of the Temple of Torture reached?

Elder Wang said, "You are all core members of the Torture Palace, I am here to say something that should not be said, is it worth it for us to pay such a big price for a secret realm of a mere organ?"

The white-faced elder said in a deep voice, "For the sake of the secret technique, even if you kill the elite of the torture hall, it is worth it. ”

"Elder Wang, don't forget what is the purpose of the Divine Hand to explore the forbidden area of mythology! It represents an era, an era that has declined, but may rise again, or even be unprecedented. ”

"What does it mean to have a mechanism that can be activated without energy? It means that if we crack that secret technique, we will be able to find a new type of energy that mankind has been searching for for more than a hundred years. Whoever gets the secret art is equivalent to changing the pattern of the world. ”

The white-faced elder's eyes glowed with a feverish light: "Think about it yourself, what will the secret technique of the mechanism bring us?"

"We can get an astronomical amount of honorarium. ”

Our name is enough to go down in history and be revered by future generations. ”

"Seeking power, can't the secret art of the organ make our torture hall a hegemon?"

The white-faced elder continued: "Besides, there are not only secret techniques in this forbidden area, but also demon servants, Zhuge Liang's Eight Array Soldier Diagram, Qimen Dunjia Technique, and even the thousand-year-old immortal method. It's worth it for all of this. ”

"But......" Elder Wang hesitated, "if we continue to draw elites, it will have a great impact on our original plan. Won't our plan to unify the hand of God ......"

The white-faced elder said, "Those opportunities can be postponed. Getting the secret method as soon as possible is what we should do. The Demon Gate, the No Ghost Sect, and the Five Veins of the Exploration God are all ready to move, and if we don't do it now, when they all come together, I'm afraid that most of the things in the secret realm will be divided. ”

Elder Wang was still hesitating: "Wouldn't it arouse their suspicion if we sent so many elites over?"

The white-faced elder said, "I have my own arrangements for these things. Rest assured, I'm sure they'll not dare to act rashly. ”

Another elder helped: "Old Wang, don't hesitate, we have already paid such a big price, do you still want to stop in the middle? Putting aside the secret technique, even in order to capture Wang Huan, we have to continue to send people into Shimen Pass." ”

The Temple of Torture is now stuck in a position where it is difficult to enter and retreat. They are like a group of gamblers who have lost half of their belongings, obviously they are already in extreme pain, but they still have a batch of chips in their hands, and they still have the illusion that they can make a lot of money after turning the book in their minds, and they will never be willing to gamble to win or lose, even if they know that the secret technique of the mechanism is the poisonous bait that tempts them to bet, they will automatically give up more considerations and think about everything in the best place.

What's even more terrifying is that this kind of gambler's heart will be contagious.
