Chapter 10: The Corpse Guard
The stairs behind me were still lit, and I leaned against the stone wall and gasped, my cousin sitting in front of me licking his paws. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info is physically and mentally exhausted, and this is really not an easy job.
In the dark atmosphere, only one man and one dog sat quietly.
After resting for five minutes, I finally felt the soreness in my muscles subside, and I called out to my cousin to continue walking. The brightly lit steps behind him suddenly darkened, as if someone had touched some kind of mechanism.
Immediately afterward, a cold, moist breath came to my face. It's corpse breath, and this breath has become very familiar to me at this moment.
The cousin's front legs are prostrate, and his fierce appearance is exposed, as if he is facing a great enemy.
I turned on the flashlight in a panic, and yellow light shot out of my hand, but only a vague outline could be seen from a distance of five or six meters. This is a man, his clothes are bewitching and eerily shiny, his face is not clear, and his hair is scattered.
The most terrifying thing was that he didn't walk upright, but crawled on the steps like a corpse. His limbs were stiff like puppets, his raised hands were dark blue, and his nails were like eagle talons.
I beckoned my cousin and hurriedly ran towards the hole in front of me. The people who appear here don't always have good things, and it's not good to say whether this thing is a person or not, but in short, it's not good.
After running for about 100 meters, my cousin was just wheezing heavily, but I couldn't stand standing against the wall. I poked my flashlight behind me to make sure it was far away, and then I sat down on the ground and coughed violently.
Just as I was coughing, my cousin quietly took a few steps forward, and then barked wildly. I flashed my flashlight forward, and I saw corpses standing on both sides of the road.
The corpse was covered in black armor that couldn't see clearly, and the armor glowed a little under the flashlight, like fish scales.
I approached and looked left and right at a total of sixteen corpses. My cousin tugged at my trouser leg behind me and seemed to say not to go near them.
Randomly picked up the long hair of a corpse, and the flashlight shone at the face, actually wearing a metal mask. The mask is smiling and smiling, with deep sunken eyes, but no eyes under the face.
What kind of dress is this? I greeted the owner of the tomb from the bottom of my heart, and my eyes looked towards my limbs. The flesh was shriveled and bruised like blood, and I raised my hand to compare it with it.
But in an instant, my cold sweat brushed the water.
My arms were also jet blue, full of the elasticity of fresh muscles, but the dark blue was as good as this dry corpse. Poisoned? As soon as I asked this question in my heart, there was a sudden sound behind me, like a sigh when people were helpless.
The flashlight shot into the darkness, and I saw a man crawling on the ground five or six meters away. Its dress, its appearance, and its stiffness are all so familiar.
Looking back at the corpses beside me, I felt like my heart was going to jump out of my throat. A thin layer of green hair sprouted from the corpse, and the black nails of the hand I was holding were about to dig into my flesh.
Run! I almost gritted my teeth and shouted the word.
My cousin seemed ready to run, and at the moment I was about to take a step, the thing had already jumped into the darkness ahead and disappeared.
I took a step, and suddenly there was a strong force from behind me, which directly pulled me back to where I was. When I looked back, the claws of the dried corpse had actually grabbed my clothes, and the jet-black nails had poked four large holes deep in it.
Are you going to keep me going? I yelled loudly, and the corner of my eye jumped suddenly, and the rest of the dried corpses in the vicinity actually moved one after another.
This is prepared to bully less with more. I cursed meanness in my heart, and with a flashlight, I smashed down on the dry corpse behind my back. Hearing only a thud, I was plunged into absolute darkness.
scolded a **** to himself, jumped up and put a foot on the corpse behind his back. A tingling sensation spread down the surface of my feet to my thighs and waist, but I was happy in my heart.
My clothes were torn. But at this time, the master is free, isn't he? He spread his legs and chased after his cousin, while looking back with trepidation as these stiff, clumsy shadows in the darkness slowly woke up from death.
Without lights, it is difficult for people to walk in the dark.
After a few steps of running, I started coughing violently again. And my cousin didn't know when he would show up, so it turned out that this thing had been waiting for me.
Good thing I have a cousin. I said with a wry smile.
My cousin is not human, and in the darkness he can see things that ordinary people can't see, and he can also hear subtle noises. Follow it, at least guarantee that I don't get lost.
My cousin trotted and I trotted. The dry corpse behind me couldn't catch up all of a sudden, but my heart was even colder, because there was no way ahead. A huge black rock blocked the way, and it seemed like entering it was a dead end, and I listened to the louder and louder noises behind me, and if I gave me a knife, I could fight them to the death.
My cousin also seemed to know that he was in a desperate situation, so he ran and jumped, then jumped two steps on the flat black stone, and finally landed helplessly, and repeated.
This scene directly stunned me, a dog actually has such skills, if a person can pay it back? I also run, my feet on the rocks, but I only fell back to the same place in one step.
I'm not even as fluent as my cousin, but not giving up in this desperate situation is the only hope for survival. How much I miss Gillian at this time, if she had turned into a black shadow and knocked all those dried corpses to the ground.
It's good that Lao Yang is here, at least he knows how this thing came about, and there must be a solution.
A man and a dog are constantly sprinting, constantly hitting the stone wall. The voices behind me grew louder and louder, and I looked back.
Even their forms can be discerned in the dark, crawling on the ground. In this way, we should be very close.
I ran one last time, gritting my teeth and letting my feet on the stone wall twice, and my body jumped upwards, when suddenly something was grabbed by me.
It feels like a rope, what surprise could there be compared to this moment? I subconsciously called out to my cousin, this thing seemed to have seen the rope a long time ago, and it sprinted quickly, and bit my waist with only one step on the stone wall.
Luckily, I just bit my belt, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to hold on to the rope in pain. My hands slid on the rope, and there was a burning pain in my palms, but I gritted my teeth and persisted.
His weight of 70 kilograms, coupled with his cousin's huge size, is more than 100 kilograms, and it is already the top of the sky if he can catch it without falling. But at this time, it is not only necessary not to fall, but also to go up.
A group of black figures below kept swaying back and forth, and a sense of pleasure was felt at this place. Although you can't go up, as long as you hold on until you give up automatically, you will win.
My cousin let out a low whining sound, as if urging me to leave. But my hands were fixed on the rope, and I had to alternate one-handed attempts to get up, and once I let go of one hand, I seemed to see a man and a dog fall into the crowd and be torn apart.
Later, Lao Yang told me that these dried corpses were called corpse guards, which were specially made by the guards of the deceased before his death. But whenever it touches the living, it will be a corpse. The mask has two long spines in its eyes, and once it is put on, it follows the eyeballs like deep into the head, and it is difficult to remove them.
The horror of this corpse guard is that it is difficult to immerse itself in fire and water, and it is not afraid of knives and guns, it is really difficult to deal with.
Just when I believed that perseverance was strength, the corpse guard actually crawled on the stone wall, approaching me like a gecko. The whine in my cousin's mouth became tighter, as if to say that my brother had expected it.
