Chapter 113: It Seems You're Not Alone
This isn't the first time a ghost has come to his door asking for help, and it won't be the last. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
But in this way, this is really the first time he has encountered it.
"What's wrong with the ghosts now? Asking someone to do it is like trying to kill each other, is there any sincerity, hey?" Ming Chuan stared at the black female ghost in front of him, and said angrily.
"Lord Mingchuan, we have no choice but to come to see you like this. The female ghost's voice was full of crying, and it was so sharp that people felt their scalps tingle when they listened to it.
"You guys?" Mingchuan noticed her words, half-squinted his eyes and swept around, not seeing the other ghosts, so he fixed his eyes on the female ghost in front of him.
Although it is said to be a female ghost, in fact, the one in front of him is a black mist gathered together, but it only forms the outline of a woman, and it is really two to say whether it is actually a "female" ghost or not.
Soon, however, he saw something in the black mist in the shape of a woman.
The black mist was not static, and in the constant flow of markings of different shades appeared on the body of the "woman". And those markings, at some point, will form a human face.
Ming Chuan found that on the body of the "woman" in front of him, "human faces" continued to emerge, and those human faces were constantly flowing, forming all kinds of strange expressions, swimming around her body.
It looks really weird, it's like......
"It seems that you are not alone. Ming Chuan said and sat back on the sofa.
After the black mist condensed into the woman in front of her, the light around her brightened a little. Although it was his dream, it was clear that the scenery in the dream was exactly the same as the memory in his head.
"Lord Mingchuan, we are the spirits of that river, because our strength is too weak, we can only use this method to meet you. The "female ghost" simply knelt in front of Ming Chuan and said as if she was crying, "Please forgive me." ”
"In that river?" Ming Chuan raised his eyebrows, suddenly thought of something, was stunned for a moment, and said with a face full of disbelief, "You can't be a ghost swallowed by that thing, right?"
"Exactly. The "female ghost" knelt on the ground with her hands on the ground, and the part of her head was almost attached to the floor, making a sincere gesture, "Those of us who died in the river, the ghost is bound by that monster and cannot follow the ghost to leave the world. Not only does it bind us, but after a while, it swallows us into its belly. ”
"It's been used as food. "These Mingchuan had already heard Gao Shanling say it before, so he was not surprised at this time.
"After being devoured by that monster, we don't disappear immediately, but remain in its body for a while. "During this time, we can hear and see everything that is happening around us, but our consciousness gradually becomes blurred, and eventually we lose ourselves and become part of its body. ”
It's not a good feeling to watch yourself being digested little by little in the belly of a monster.
And he is surrounded by ghosts who are also swallowed, and seeing those ghosts slowly melt into each other's flesh and blood after losing themselves, fear will involuntarily spread in the bottom of his heart.
While feeling intense fear, I was afraid that my fear would become numb, and eventually I couldn't even feel fear, and became an unconscious piece of flesh and blood, melting into the monster's belly.
Fear, despair, and numbness eroded them little by little, making them constantly cry out of pain.
However, no one can see them, no one can hear their sorrows.
Gradually, they became distorted.
I want to pull more living people into the river, I want more souls to become their companions, and I want more people to accompany me to feel this pain and despair.
They are constantly attacking others, trying to pull more people to bury them.
The more people die, the more powerful the monsters become, and the more powerless they are for these devoured ghosts to break free. Malicious intent continues to ferment in this cycle, becoming more and more intense, nourishing monsters while also attracting more ghosts.
The accumulation of ghost qi makes the river muddy and ominous, bringing more disasters and completely disrupting the balance in the river.
Just like the balance of yin and yang that fellow Taoists emphasise, ghost qi and vitality are like yin and yang, and can only be maintained in a normal state when they are balanced. Once the balance is lost, it will lead to all kinds of disasters.
Under normal circumstances, the balance is not disturbed.
At present, the Meri River is facing such a serious problem.
The heavy accumulation of ghostly energy has upset the balance.
Ghosts lead to death, and the death rate in the Meili River is rising dramatically, and the number of deaths in the past six months alone has exceeded the total number of deaths in the past five years. Although some people have doubts about this, it is just that no one knows the reason now, and no one will look in this direction.
"Now that you've been devoured by that monster, you shouldn't be able to break free. Ming Chuan half-squinted, looked at the "female ghost" kneeling in front of him with no expression on his face, and asked lightly, "Why did you come to my house?"
"Originally, we had completely given up hope, just waiting for our consciousness to gradually disappear and turn into pus and blood in the monster's body. "The female ghost" said with a trembling voice, "but yesterday, a voice suddenly came into our ears, and our consciousness was awakened like never before. We realized that the owner of this voice was our last chance. So we used up almost all of our strength and followed you here. ”
After listening to the other party's words, Ming Chuan thought about it a little and understood what was going on.
What they heard was the sound of a net bell.
Although the net bell is not as powerful as the ghost sword, its bell has a strong purification function. It was this bell that penetrated the monster's body and reached its body, causing these ghosts, who had long lost their will to live, to wake up.
The instinct to survive reawakens in their souls. It took all their might, using the best energy they had left, to make a small fragment of their soul break free from the monster's restraints and float out of its body.
The escaped soul is only a small fragment, not the entire soul of the dead. Their strength is too weak to be condensed and formed, so they will use this troublesome method to communicate with Mingchuan.
Ming Chuan also understood at this time, although the "female ghost" in front of him looked ghostly and had a complete shape, but this was just an image in a dream, and in fact, the soul fragments floating out were not even the size of half a fingernail.
Thinking of this, his half-squinted eyelids jumped slightly.
