Chapter 56: The Water Falls, and the Stone Emerges (Part 7)

"Ahh

Marisa made a trumpet gesture with her hand and roared deeper into the tunnel. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

"Fool Marisa, what if the enemy hears you!"

Seeing this, Reimu hurriedly covered Marisa's mouth to stop her from continuing to make this strange scream.

"Uh......h Wh! "Marisa obviously had something to say, but her mouth was tightly gagged, and she could only wave her hands indiscriminately to express her displeasure.

"This tunnel is really deep...... Alice, who was walking at the front, ignored the two living treasures behind her, and said to herself, "It's like a bottomless pit." ā€

In front of Alice, a doll was flying with a lantern larger than herself, providing limited light to the trio as they walked in the darkness.

The light of the lantern can only illuminate the front and back for a few meters at most, and the three of them have walked all the way to the present, and they can no longer even see the sunlight at the mouth of the tunnel behind them.

Inugo, who gave them the way and provided information, had to report to his superiors because of the disappearance of Marufumi, so he left in a hurry. These three people are also masters of the arts, and after listening to Zhen's words, they didn't say a word, they dared to break into the black hole with a lamp, and they were not afraid of any demons and monsters popping out of it.

Even if there were any youkai that popped up, it wouldn't be Reimu's opponent, but after walking such a long way, I couldn't even see a ghost, which was a bit unexpected.

"So I've said it all, it's definitely an anomaly!" Reimu said as she pressed Marisa's mouth. Marisa beside her, even though she couldn't make a sound, nodded with a look of vigour, as if to say, "I, Detective Marisa, have expected this for a long time."

"You're a ghost!"

Lingmeng saw Marisa's sunny virtue, and suddenly his anger surged, and he raised his fist and slammed it at Marisa's heavenly spirit cover, and immediately smashed out a big bag.

Marisa's eyes widened in pain, and she screamed "Whimper", saying "Help!

"By the way, Alice, do you smell it?"

Leaving Marisa aside, who was silently protesting, Reimu sniffed twice, sniffing the increasingly strong, ominous smell in the air, and then asked Alice in front of her.

As for what she smelled, Reimu didn't mention it, but as long as Alice turned around and glanced at Reimu's expression at this time, she could know what she was referring to.

"Hmmm......"

Alice nodded, and was about to reply, when she suddenly felt the soles of her feet go limp, so she stopped, and by the light, she found that she was stepping on a broken arm.

"Here we are, this is the place that the white wolf tengu said. ā€

She took the lantern in the puppet's hand and lifted it high to dispel the darkness around her, and the things piled up on the ground came into the eyes of the three of them.

"This ...... It's really ...... Shura Hell, ......"

Reimu just glanced at it, and then froze in place, unable to lift his legs. Marisa beside her looked down and immediately turned blue, and her stomach was "gurgling", and she was about to lose it.

"Okay, you can throw up. ā€

Feeling the wet touch coming from her palm, Reimu quickly withdrew the hand that was covering Marisa's face. Without this barrier, the filthy "flood" would have burst immediately. Marisa clutched her stomach and bent over, and began her second round of vomiting of the day.

The three of them were now stepping on the same thing, the hills that formed on both sides of the road, and the large patches that were painted on the walls: pieces of minced meat. When Reimu first looked at it, he even had the illusion that he had entered a slaughterhouse, and the floor was full of pork liver, tripe, tenderloin, pork ribs, and some other soft deboned meat that I don't know what part of the animal. Then she realized that these broken limbs and rotten flesh looked like human flesh no matter how she looked at it.

Although reason told Reimu that this thing was not human flesh, but the corpse of some kind of monster that had been attacking frequently in recent times, it really looked like it was not much different from human flesh.

No, if you have to say the difference, there are still some of them. The color of these shredded corpses is even duller than that of fresh corpses of humans and youkai, and at the same time, there is unusually little blood coming out. It stands to reason that so many people have died, there should have been a river of blood, but there is hardly any blood here except for a little black and red stain near the corpse - these corpses will not blood at all.

Another anomaly lies in the taste. According to Inugo, these guys were all killed by her own hands just now, and they should be fresh corpses that haven't even had time to disperse. But what Reimu smelled was the peculiar stench of highly decomposed corpses that had been dead for at least a month.

"The living dead. Alice glanced at the corpses on the ground and uttered the term.

"Ah, I agree. Reimu nodded, "These guys died long before they were killed, and then they were dug out of the grave by some ill-intentioned guys and made into human puppets. ā€

"Uh-huh...... cough cough cough cough ......"

Marisa finally vomited out her stomach, quickly wiped her mouth, straightened up with her waist, and said, "Live...... The living dead?

"Ah, there is no doubt about it. ā€

"So these living dead are the real culprits of the mysterious murder in the Mountain of Monsters?"

"Ah, no doubt, no. Alice turned around and said with a straight face, "The living dead are thoughtless puppets, and their masters have the final say. There must be a necromancer behind this, or ......"

"Vampire...... Reimu said, "This trick of digging up graves and driving corpses, if I'm not mistaken, seems to be one of the vampires' housekeeping skills?"

Of course, there is also this possibility****Lisi raised her head, looked at the top of the arc of the tunnel, and said, "I'm afraid, this tunnel was also made by the person who was making trouble behind the scenes." ā€

"These guys...... Those two tengu killed them?" Marisa stared at the corpses with a bloodless face, not knowing what to say about it for a moment.

From her standpoint, she should thank Wen and Zhen for helping her get rid of the enemies who stood in her way. But as a human being, as a little girl of only fourteen, she really can't accept this hellish situation on earth.

"You ...... Don't you think you've gone too far?" she spoke, her teeth chattering.

"No, not at all, must you have mercy on the enemy?" Reimu spread his hands, disapproving.

"It's all dead, and there's nothing too much to overdo it, and I'm more concerned about where the blood they took away goes than that. "Remember the corpses that were drained of blood, and these living dead don't look like blood-hungry guys, do they?"

"There may be some clues at the end of this tunnel, and I am also very concerned about Wen's whereabouts. After Reimu finished speaking, he took a step forward and walked to the front. Seeing this, Alice also followed.

"Hey, don't leave me here alone!"

Marisa shuddered at the thought that she would be left in this bloody slaughterhouse, and hurriedly chased after her, clinging to Alice's back, and swore to herself that no matter what happened, she would never look back.

In the next few hours, there was no conversation between the three of them, and I am afraid that the scene just now gave them a dismount. Now the three of them have their own thoughts, and their heads are turning diligently, and no one is willing to speak.

"When it comes to ......," the one who broke the silence is Reimu, "and this is the end." ā€

"What do you mean? There's no sunshine ...... you?"

Marisa poked her head out of Alice's back, immediately startled by what she saw.

"This, this, this...... What is this!" she exclaimed.

In this seemingly endless dark tunnel, there is also a place where there is no way out, and that is the place in front of the three of them. The long road is interrupted here, and in front of it is a mirror.

Different from ordinary mirrors, the surface of this mirror wall is filled with slight ripples all the time, like a calm lake. It's just that anyone in their right mind knows that it is impossible for the "lake" to stand on the wall.

Moreover, the surface of this mirror is as smooth as water, and the things reflected are very blurry, and there are several double images. Behind those ghosts, there seemed to be something else hidden, something unrecognizable to the naked eye.

"Reimu, do you have a clue?" Alice asked, looking at her reflection in the mirror.

As a Hakurei shrine maiden, Hakurei Reimu is undoubtedly the second largest enchantment expert in Gensokyo after Yakumo Murasaki, and it is better for her to deal with the visions related to space.

"Hmmm......"

Reimu hugged his arms, frowned, pursed his lips, and stayed there for a long time, and finally held back a sentence:

"I don't know. ā€

"I'm talking about you!"

Marisa slapped her head and said loudly - what constructive advice did she expect from Reimu.

"I don't know what it is, but it's certainly not an ordinary mirror. Reimu added.

"I don't need you to say it, I know about it!" Marisa said, pushing aside the two of them and walking to the front, "Okay, let's leave it to Detective Marisa!"

"Wait a minute, Marisa! Touching this kind of thing indiscriminately will ...... Very ......"

Alice tries to go up and grab Marisa, but her outstretched hand can't catch the person who should be standing there.

ā€œ...... Dangerous. ā€

She rubbed her eyes to make sure she was right, for Marisa had melted into the mirror, leaving only half of her body outside, and all the ripples of water spread out in circles around that half of her body. Seeing this sight, even Alice, who is a magician, was really taken aback.

"Hmm...... This one...... Sure enough, it's that kind of thing, right?" Reimu said, looking at the other half of Marisa's body that slowly disappeared into the transparent ripples, "That's the kind of thing you Western magicians call portals, it's not the same thing, but it's pretty much what it feels like!"

"Now is not the time to discuss such a thing!" Alice saw Marisa disappear out of thin air, and suddenly became anxious, "Marisa is in danger!"

"Don't worry, it's okay. Reimu pointed to the strange "portal" and said, "Look, she's back again." ā€

As Reimu said, the black and white witch costume slowly floated out of the "lake" again, and finally returned to the two of them intact.

"Marisa, are you alright?" Alice patted her chest, relieved.

"Hehe, no problem Daze!" Marisa said with a smile.

"So, what are your conclusions?" asked Reimu.

"There's a road ahead!" Marisa gently patted the surface of the mirror, causing several layers of ripples, and said loudly, "I don't know why, but this strange mirror is completely passable!"

"Okay, let's go. ā€

After Reimu finished speaking, he didn't even give him time to breathe, and directly grabbed Marisa and Alice's arms, and rushed into the mirror with them.

The process of passing through the mirror is very short and relaxed, Alice does not feel any resistance, and her body does not feel any discomfort, as if she has broken through a piece of plastic wrap, and there is almost no real feeling. At the end of the day, it's very doubtful whether that thing has a thickness, or even whether it has a substance.

On the other side of the mirror, there is also a tunnel, but unlike the previous tunnel where you can't see the light, this tunnel has an end. Far ahead, there is a glimmer of light, and if you don't look closely, it's really hard to spot.

"I said, isn't it good that we're coming here so recklessly?" Alice said worriedly, "I don't think this place is that simple, otherwise the Raven Tengu wouldn't have been able to come back." ā€

"What's wrong?" Marisa snapped and slapped the hard concrete wall behind her, "If you really can't do it, just go back the way you came, this wall can be ....... anyway"

"Hmm...... walls?"

She once again confirmed the feel, it was indeed cold and hard, no doubt, and then turned her head to see a thick, flat, solid, wall standing behind her.

"Wait, wait...... There must be something wrong," Marisa broke out in a cold sweat on her forehead, "the walls?

"Originally, it wasn't ...... Can you pass it?"

"Ah, we've been calculated...... Reimu said with a blank face.

"Indeed, it was calculated harshly...... Alice shook her head.
