Chapter 207: The Magic Diamond Ring

Whether there will be clues when they go out, Leng Ai doesn't know, but if they continue to stay in the building, they will definitely not find a clue. When the three men saw that Leng Ai really walked out, the three of them glanced at each other and hurriedly chased after them.

Inside the building, they could clearly see the raging fire, but when they walked out, they saw a different scene, with no flames in sight and no screams in their ears. The raindrops gently slapped on the four of them, but the ground was very dry, and every step would splash the black ashes on the ground.

Where the flashlight can shine, there is no figure, there is no wind around, not even the sound of rain, Cheng Hao shines the flashlight on the top of the tower, and is suddenly taken aback, an owl man appeared in front of the eyes of the four people, but in an instant, the owl man disappeared without a trace.

The owl man had the head of an eagle with a dark green glow, and its body resembled that of a human body, with black feathers on its body and a pair of huge black wings behind it.

The four of them hurriedly ran to the top of the bell tower, and did not see any trace of the owl man, looking at the ground, where the naked eye could reach, it was densely packed with corpses, Wang Sheng gasped, he thought he was wrong, and rubbed his eyes vigorously, but there were still dense corpses on the ground, and the number of corpses was very large, at least more than 10,000.

Coming down from the tower, not a single body was seen, only a thick layer of black ashes on the ground, and the flashlight shone again at the bell tower, which was empty.

The bald head touched his shiny head and said, "This is too strange......"

The four returned to the abandoned building of the mental hospital, the fire raging outside the window, and the sound of painful wails reached the ears of the four. Wang Sheng's brows were furrowed, and his heart was full of doubts, could it be that the location he was standing in was different, and the images he saw were also different?

To confirm this suspicion, the four of them walked out of the building again, and there was not the slightest flame in sight, replaced by black ashes. The four of them climbed to the top of the bell tower and could see the dense corpses on the ground.

Cheng Hao leaned against the wall of the bell tower, pecked his teeth and scolded: "This haunting is really evil enough!" I don't know which one is true and which one is fake! ”

After a moment of silence, Leng Ai suddenly clapped her hands and said, "I understand!" ”

Cheng Hao asked suspiciously, "What do you mean?" ”

Leng Ai replied, "Do you know why the owl man appeared in the bell tower? ”

The three men looked at each other, not understanding what Leng Ai meant, Leng Ai asked, "Then do you know what an owl is?" ”

The three men shook their heads at the same time, and Leng Ai covered her forehead helplessly: "I can't communicate with you normally anymore." ”

Cheng Hao snorted coldly: "We don't know ...... in the first place."

Leng Ai said: "Owls are commonly known as owls, do you know what owls mainly eat? ”

"I know!" Wang Sheng replied first: "Eat rats!" ”

Leng Ai smiled: "Owls don't just eat rats, they also eat carrion!" Do you know how the Black Death spread? ”

The three men looked at Leng Ai with a confused expression, not understanding what Leng Ai meant at all.

Leng Ai sighed lightly: "I won't ask you anymore, I'll tell you......"

The Black Death could be transmitted through saliva, blood, food, etc., but rat fleas were the main vectors of plague. The owl eats mice, but it has antibodies to the plague and does not show any symptoms, so the owl is a carrier of the plague.

The owl is a bird that barely interacts with humans, but the owl is different, the owl is no different in size from humans, and the small mice can no longer fill their stomachs, so the owl turns its attention to larger prey.

Owls are not demons, they do not eat people, but the domestic animals raised by humans are their prey, and the owls threw the carcasses of the eaten domestic animals on the land where humans lived, and the Black Death broke out.

In the sixteenth century, medical skills were not developed, the Black Death spread at a very fast speed, and the government had no ability to stop the epidemic, so it could only send all the patients suffering from the Black Death to the island of Boveglia, and the owls, like owls, they also ate carrion, how could they spare so many delicacies, so the owls followed the human transport ship to the island of Povelia. However, the humans burned the corpses to ashes, and it did not become a delicacy for the owls.

Since then, the island of Poville has become haunted, and as long as you stand on the bell tower, you can see thousands of corpses, and the owls have somehow stayed, but there is no food for the owls on this island, they can only stand on the towers and weep.

The bald head took a deep breath: "It's really mysterious, it's really fake!" ”

Cheng Hao whispered in the bald ear: "She guessed!" ”

The bald head exclaimed, "Guess! It's kind of like the real thing! ”

Leng Ai glared at her bald head unhappily: "Then you give a reasonable explanation." ”

The bald head touched his head and smiled: "You're right, you're all right, tell me what happened to that neurologist?" ”

"I'm not sure, could it be that the doctor found out about these things and killed the patient to feed the owls?"

Wang Sheng asked, "Then what should we do?" ”

Leng Ai shook her head: "I don't know ...... either"

Wang Sheng held his chin and pondered, this place is not very far from the other islands, why did the owls refuse to leave, could it be that there is something they are afraid of outside the island? But this is impossible, the owls can't go to Venice, but choose another place, is it because they have no food in their stomachs and have no physical strength?

Wang Sheng's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said excitedly: "I know, if the neurologist is really using the patient to feed the owls, when the owls have enough food, they can leave here, so, when the owls have not been able to leave here, there is a mysterious force that pushes the doctor down from the tower, but the doctor did not fall to his death, so the mysterious power will suffocate him to death with black smoke!" And the purpose of that mysterious power is only one, to trap the owl people here. ”

Cheng Hao pecked his teeth and said, "It seems reasonable to say this, but what is that mysterious power?" ”

Wang Sheng scratched his hair: "Is it possible that a wizard or a mage?" ”

Cheng Hao smiled: "This is impossible, even if there is a mage, then he will already be dead, and now he is rotten into scum." ”

Leng Ai said solemnly: "It is absolutely possible, Bovillea Island has been abandoned for more than 400 years, and the owl has not left for 400 years, which shows that the mage's spell is still there, and the mage must have left a medium for casting spells before he died, as long as we find the items left by the mage, we can open the enchantment here." ”

Wang Sheng looked at the dense corpses on the ground, sighed and said: "The mage trapped the owl people here, he is doing a good thing, if we release the owl people, the black death may break out again in the world, and countless people will die because of it, and we are the culprits of the plague." If that's the case, I'd rather give up this task! ”

Leng Ai said: "We should first find out if it is because of the Black Death spread by the owls, so we should now look for the medium left by the mage." ”

Cheng Hao asked, "What could it be?" ”

Leng Ai shook his head: "I don't know, but he must be on the island, and he has to find it out after digging three feet into the ground!" ”

Although there are clues, however, the four of them are very afraid of the black ashes, and the owl only appears at night, and the magic left by the mage must only work at night, if they look for it during the day, they may not be able to find clues.

The bright sun shone on the faces of the four, and Cheng Hao looked helplessly at the dark hands with a depressed expression. Wang Sheng gloated and laughed, finally someone accompanied him to chop his hands, Wang Sheng raised his hands and cheered: "God, you have finally opened your eyes, I can finally take revenge......"

Although Leng Ai had also touched the ashes, her hands were not stained with a little black, her white hands kept shaking in front of the three men, Cheng Hao was angry and didn't dare to speak, and her face was red and her neck was thick.

After self-harm, the four took turns resting as usual, and as soon as the sun set, the four walked out of the building again. For one night, the four of them didn't even drink saliva, but they didn't find anything. The sun illuminated the sky, and the surroundings returned to their original appearance, Wang Sheng lay on the green grass, and said with a wry smile helplessly: "I have found all the places I can find, do you really have to dig three feet into the ground tonight!" ”

Leng Ai blinked her big beautiful eyes: "Yes, why didn't I expect that it is recorded in the book on Wasteland Island that the patient was pushed into a pit and burned, and there is no pit at all!" ”

Wang Sheng frowned, the scene they saw was burning living people on the ground, and they didn't see the pit at all, if they saw history repeating itself, but this was completely different from history, the medium left by the mage was very likely to be in the pit.

Although the island of Poville has been deserted, not many items have been removed here, and it is very easy to find a few tools, and the four of them did not take any rest, and dug for a full day, but did not find anything.

After dark, it rained lightly in the sky, and the four of them had no intention of resting, and still dug desperately.

The hard work paid off, and at ten o'clock in the evening, the bald head held a diamond ring and shouted: "Look, I'm rich!" Ha ha! ”

Leng Ai took the ring in his hand and looked at it carefully for a long time, but he didn't say a word.

Cheng Hao asked anxiously: "Don't just look at it, isn't it this thing?" ”

Leng Ai looked at her watch: "It's almost eleven o'clock, if you don't come out of the pit again, you will be buried with ashes in a while!" ”

Instead of returning to the building of the mental hospital, the four of them went up to the top of the bell tower, hoping to wait for the owl to be seen after eleven.

Cheng Hao asked, "What kind of ring is this?" ”

"This is a magic ring, it should be used by a Western mage."

In the ancient Western world, the status of a magician had a unique symbol, often marked by a gray magic robe or a diamond ring on the index finger of the right hand. There are only two possibilities for this ring to be in the pile of dead people, one is that the magician also had the Black Death, and the other is that the magician volunteered to stay here!

Wang Sheng couldn't help but gasp: "Could it be that the mage sacrificed his life to trap the owl here?" ”
