Chapter 164: Someday, Hell Meets Again
Before he could come back to his senses, the whole person was held flat in the air, his limbs were clamped tightly, he couldn't struggle, and he was steadily pushed to the bonfire like a phoenix spreading its wings.
"Ahh Ahh โ
When I first woke up from a dream, I found that everything just now was just an illusion, no one was holding me, no torches, no black-robed people muttering incantations, only me, as if I had been hit by a magic barrier, step by step towards the raging fire burning in the middle.
The whole back froze, from head to toe, and my heart was cold, but my body was scorched by the heat. It was cold on one side and hot on the other, which made me feel my brain swell for a while, and I took a few steps back and breathed a long sigh of relief before I eased up.
What's going on? Am I hypnotized, or drugged?
Due to the previous experience in the stomach of the hooked snake, the skin on the body has been more or less corroded, and the meat in some places is even directly exposed to the outside, plus the high temperature just now, it exudes a trace of burnt smell.
I guess I must be scary right now.
I wiped my face, but my vision was still blurry. When did I start to fall into hallucinations, it was too real, this feeling was the same as when I first entered the Lishan Underground Palace, and somehow at that time, I hallucinated, climbed into the jade coffin, and was poisoned by the corpse.
I don't believe that there really is such a thing as a ghost, could it be hypnosis?
I've heard that the most brilliant hypnotists don't even need to meet you, just through the air, they can hypnotize you. Moreover, the more wary people are, the more vulnerable they are to the contagion.
Some struggled to stand up, patted their faces, and forcibly sobered themselves up, and if they thought about it at this time, they were really hopeless.
The body is almost full of dense wounds, and I can't find intact skin, and the feeling of numbness and pain fills all the nerves, and it is no exaggeration to say. I can barely feel myself moving sometimes.
Am I the only one left? Blue eyes left me alone in this kind of place. What exactly is the purpose? Do you just want to see me being hypnotized and thrown into a fire pit and burned alive?
Realized, even if I screamed out of my throat. I don't necessarily get any response from Blue Eyes. I started to follow this place. Trying to find some clues. Could it be that the old and thick voice I heard in my dream was also my imagination?
He said he was the only person in the world who had the same experience as me. He also said that we would see each other one day. Even if it is an imagination, it must be related to Yang Yun's memory in the subconscious.
After walking around the campfire a few times, I found that there were neatly arranged human bones all around, and each human bone was damaged, or covered with charred black, or had clearly distinguishable knife marks, or it was an unnatural darkness that came out from within......
None of these people died naturally, they all died unexpectedly, some were burned to death, some were hacked to death, and some were poisoned......
It's like a corner of a crime museum, with an accusation against the killer on every bone. The raging fire is like the wrath of these unfortunate people, struggling and tearing, and one day it will pull the real murderer into hell and deal a painful blow.
I heard that the fires of hell cannot be extinguished, just like the bonfire in front of you, and it seems that there is no day when it burns out.
I remembered the movements of those black-robed people in the hallucination, and unconsciously imitated them, clasped his hands together, lowered his head, and wished the deceased rest in peace and the dead in peace.
I said that I don't believe in the existence of ghosts and gods, and I pray this in my heart, purely out of respect for life, and if I have any, I hope that those who were killed by "Yang Yun" can also turn a blind eye, and one day, everyone and I will meet again in hell.
After a deep bow, I took the dagger back in my hand and clenched it tightly. His eyes were vigilantly staring at the movement in the darkness, moving step by step and cautiously into the depths.
Walking around the campfire, a large shadow seemed to appear in the line of sight not far away, and I vaguely felt that something important would be there.
It was quiet all around, except for the sound of the campfire burning and my breathing and heartbeat, and my footsteps slowed unconsciously, and the shadow gradually took shape before my eyesโa sarcophagus, placed on the stone steps.
Is there any meaning to put a sarcophagus here?
The sarcophagus is about half a person high, and the lid is nearly ten centimeters thick, although it is a sarcophagus, but the coffin surface is inlaid with seven precious stones, similar to the one on the outer sheath of my dagger, arranged in seven different colors. This dagger is called a seven-star dagger, and this coffin won't be called a seven-star coffin, right?
Seven Star Coffin?
It's not like in the movie, what mechanism is hidden, and as soon as you open it, you will immediately put me to death, right?
Just as I was thinking about whether to open it, there seemed to be a small voice coming from inside, and I shuddered, wouldn't it, a corpse? Leaning his ear against the coffin, he heard the faint beating sound from within, sometimes like the sharp sound of a fingernail rubbing against a sarcophagus.
Suddenly, I had the idea of retreating, no matter what strange creatures were hidden inside, or if it was really a corpse, I didn't want to face it, with me now, I really didn't want to ask for trouble anymore.
But just as I wanted to leave, I heard a regular tapping sound, different from the previous mess, this is Morse code!
Three short, three long, three short, and then a burst of three short, three long, three short.
Even if I don't understand the meaning of all Morse code, the message I'm hearing so far is obviously common sense - SOS! What's inside is calling me for help in Morse code?!
I think so, if you open it, unfortunately it's a high-IQ monster, or an ancient corpse that somehow can use Morse code, I won't say a word, and stab it; If it is a living person who is locked up in it, he will do a good deed that day.
However, there seems to be little hope for the latter, this sarcophagus does not seem to be breathable, and anyone who is locked in it should be suffocated to death.
Dragging a half-lame leg, he walked around the sarcophagus, intending to start from the end of the coffin.
First, he used a dagger to insert it into the gap between the coffin lid and the coffin, and slashed left and right several times, and found that it was almost impossible to exert too much effort, and the sarcophagus was not glued together because of time, indicating that someone had really opened the coffin lid recently.
However, the question is, with my bare hands, how can I push open such a large coffin lid, and how can this weight be used as a unit in tons, right?
Or can't you rely on brute force, this coffin itself is strange?
Isn't it too tyrannical to stop at the seven gems set on the coffin surface, exposing the seven dazzling gems to the coffin, and setting them on a featureless sarcophagus. My gut instinct was that there was definitely something wrong with this gem.
The beating for help continued, but it was obviously quieter than before, if I wanted to save someone, I had to hurry, don't go to the end, it took a lot of effort to open the coffin, but it was a dead person who was rescued. (To be continued......)
