Chapter 120: Stiffness

In this kind of ghostly place beyond common sense comprehension, Fu Ji Xianli will of course always be vigilant, so after receiving a reminder from Shinaka Aoi, he quickly grasped two situations - first, his own position is a bit unusually far away from Shinaka Aoi; Second, there seems to be something behind him.

He felt a chill come over him.

In order to prevent "turning back and killing", who knows if something will suddenly reach out and screw off his head when he turns around? So Fu Jixian suddenly lowered his body, and at the same time, the tentacles on his body suddenly opened and slammed towards the back bread.

After realizing that he had touched something cold and stiff, Fu Ji Xianli turned around, and then, he saw a figure standing in the mist.

Like a stone sculpture, it doesn't seem to move.

In order to prevent this thing from suddenly coming back to life, Fu Ji Xianli leaned over little by little while maintaining control of it, and after a little inspection, he said to Manaka Aoi behind him, "Sister Aoi, the person we are looking for seems to have been found." ”

When Manaka Aoi came here, Fu Ji Xianli just shook hands with the other party, "Hello, Mr. Taniyama." ”

The thing that was standing behind him just now was the corpse Taniyama who had been thrown into the well a moment ago.

"It's the corpse, it's just ...... The transformation in him seems to have been a little too fast. Aoi Manaka circled around the corpse and said so.

At this point, the corpse was in a state of stiffness, but the stiff posture was noticeably different from what it had been before it had been dropped, and it was now able to stand there on its own, and even stranger than this was that some kind of scales had begun to grow on the corpse's blue face.

Not just his face, his back was arched entirely, and there were some tapered scales that had pierced the clothes behind his back.

Fu Jixian tried to flick the scales on the other party's face, and found that the thing seemed to be very strong.

"It should be a stone, although living things will be transformed into fossils after a long time under certain geological conditions, but the speed and process of this old gentleman's transformation into fossils seems to be a little fast."

Fu Ji Xianli looked at the other party's back again, and it looked like a stalactite pillar had suddenly grown from the corpse.

"There's really a problem here, Sister Aoi, this kind of change won't happen to us, shouldn't we go up sooner...... After all, we have come down to investigate the situation, not to be martyred. ”

Then he began to worry about the more practical question, since such a noticeable change would occur in the corpse in such a short period of time, would this change affect them? This is very suspicious.

And more importantly, the two seem to have lost their way back at this time. They came down the wall of the well, but now this "bottom of the well" has become extremely open in perception for some reason, and it seems that people can't see the edge at a glance, so the key question comes...... How can the two climb up?

Fu Jixianli looked back in the direction where he remembered the well and found that he could only see a circular spot of light on it, like the sun hanging on the earth.

The thing cast a cold light, and unconsciously, the brightness of the space below seemed to have increased a lot, and Fu Jixianli put down his phone, and he could still see things nearby.

The cool-toned environment is surrounded by a thin mist, and it seems like a place that doesn't belong to the real world.

Manaka Aoi also looked in the same direction as Fu Ji Xianli, but her expression was more focused.

After a while, Sister Aoi said, "It's okay, I can find my way back, as for what you're worried about...... Take it easy, this kind of environment does not have such a big impact on living people, and it is not harmful to stay in this environment for a short time under the premise of maintaining body temperature, activity and metabolism.

I probably know where we've been. ”

There was no panic in Manaka Aoi's attitude, and he even showed a sense of familiarity with this kind of environment, so Fu Ji Xianli calmed down.

"Don't go too deep, just search around here and see if you get anything."

"Then the two of us want to stay together, preferably hand in hand."

It is right to stay together and move around, and it is not necessary to hold hands.

Fu Ji Xianli reached out and patted the half-petrified corpse, then walked around him and continued to search the surrounding situation...... I don't know if it's an illusion, but he thinks that in this moment's work, the stone scales on the corpse seem to have grown a little.

As for the more critical matter, Fu Jixian opened his mouth, as if he wanted to ask but didn't know whether this kind of question should be asked.

"What do you want to say?" Manaka Aoi also sensed this person's entanglement, so he said, "Just ask whatever you want, what to do with such a pretence, this kind of thing that takes into account the emotions of others, you are not suitable." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Fu Jixian didn't expect that his other party didn't understand, but yes, he should still ask this question directly, "Sister Kwai is a little familiar with this place?" What is this place that you have ever been to? ”

"Of course I haven't been here, it's not accurate, I should say that I've been in a similar situation and know a little bit about this kind of environment.

As for what kind of place you asked...... Want to know? ”

Nonsense, Fu Jixian said rationally that I don't want to know, why ask.

Some garbage began to appear in the surrounding environment, and as they had talked about before, the sacrifices thrown into the well were not salvaged, but scattered in the space.

Some of them still have a sense of freshness, and some of them look like they've been thrown down for quite some years, and Fu Jixian stepped on a piece of wood and smashed it directly...... This thing is completely rotten.

"To explain it in terms of scientific theories, this environment is still related to the 'ancient gods'."

"Uh...... "Fu Jixian looked at Zhenzhong Aoi with a look that you are especially teasing me, does she think that as long as she adds a "scientific theory" when making an explanation, she can increase her credibility?

"Extending to the previous coagulation and condensation techniques, people like us who are different from normal people have a saying that it is self-awakening after inadvertently coming into contact with certain things, and there are also sayings that it is...... People like us have been eroded by the power of the 'Old Gods'.

It's a two-way explanation, depending on how you interpret it.

And according to erosion, if this erosion is something that really exists, then who can guarantee that it will only be eroded by people?

There are also effects on the environment and other things, and some people think that erosion is a general erosion.

So...... You should understand how this environment came about. 'The Dream of the Old Gods', as many people call this environment, has a feeling of being somewhere between the virtual and the real. ”

"To be honest, I don't quite understand...... Because this statement of yours seems to be saying that the 'old gods' really exist, but is this possible? Fu Jixian found it difficult to understand, "Ancient God Dream"? There are dolls, but they are of stone, so is there still a Geman living in them?

"It's just a hypothesis, and the existence of the ancient gods can't be proven, of course, but the problem is that he can't be falsified either. There are other hypotheses in the occult realm for the raison d'Γͺtre of such a place, and the old gods I am talking about are just one of them. ”

"And what are the other hypotheses?" Fu Ji Xianli tried to find the most reasonable one after the many statements of many gods.

"I don't know, I'm not studying this thing, for many things, I just need to know that its existence is a real existence, as for the reason for its existence...... Because all research is in vain, no one can give a reasonable and convincing explanation of the mystery. ”

So Fu Jixianli's "learning expectations" were broken in this way, and Sister Kui actually had times when she didn't learn and didn't know how to do it, although the reason she gave was very iron.

"It is said that the deepest part of this place retains the consciousness of the old gods, and it will absorb everything in the periphery like a whirlpool, and what is engulfed will never reappear...... Although I haven't been to the depths, it's better not to try to go into them.

There doesn't seem to be any danger on the outside, but no one knows what it's like inside. ”

Manaka Aoi said again.

"Understood." Fu Ji Xianli nodded, according to this statement, the ancient gods are equivalent to black holes, relying on great mass and gravity, it will absorb everything around it, and there is no way for the captured things to escape.

However, there is one thing that Aoi Manaka is probably wrong, that is, even in this so-called "periphery" environment, mystery is mystery after all, and the unknown is unknown after all, so there is no guarantee of safety at all.

As they walked forward, the two of them saw a second humanoid object, but compared to the previous corpse in the process of petrification, the thing here could be regarded as a stone statue full of evil taste.

It stood there with its hands raised, and it always felt like it could add a line, "Please everyone on the earth, give me your vitality" or something.

The stone statue is covered with flat stone spines, and the jagged edges of the scales feel like they can easily cut through human skin, and what makes people feel even more uncomfortable is that its eye sockets and open mouth are densely covered with such stone chips.

If nothing else, the stone statue should have been a human before, perhaps a "sacrifice" in previous years.

Aoi Manaka stared at the stone statue for a long time, then took out her phone, turned on the flash and took a picture of it.

"Sister Aoi, do you like this style of life-like figures? It can only be said that the hobby is very peculiar. ”

"Less nonsense, show you, don't you think it'......"

When Shinaka Aoi turned around after taking the photo and walked over with a mobile phone in front of Fu Ji Xianli, without warning, the stone statue behind her suddenly moved!

Its raised right hand spun stiffly, and then slammed into Aoi Manaka's head...... If this punch is smashed, it is estimated that there will be no crying anymore.

Fortunately, Fu Jixian's eyes were quick, and he swooped forward, bent down to protect Manaka Aoi under him, and at the same time opened all his tentacles, trying to stop this heavy blow.

But in fact, this one doesn't seem to be so easy to block.

Despite the blocking and cushioning of multiple tentacles, Fu Ji Xianli still felt that he had been smashed hard, he only felt that his face had a close contact with the ground, and as for Zhenzhong Aoi, who was sandwiched in the middle, he was also crushed.

Fu Jixian shook his head vigorously, and spit out the soil that he was caught off guard and gnawed off, at this time, he didn't forget that the stone statue had two arms, so he pulled Zhenzhong Aoi under him with his arm, and pulled her back immediately after getting up.

With a loud bang, the statue's second arm slammed into the ground.

"Lijun, don't let it make too much noise."

The sudden "resurrection" of the stone statue and the impact of why it came to life have not yet dissipated, and Manaka Aoi immediately thought of another possibility...... If one stone statue is capable of locomotivity, does that mean that other stone statues also have this ability?

Even if there are corpses thrown down here every year, there are certainly not a few corpses that have been thrown down over the years, and Aoi Manaka definitely doesn't want to face a gargoyle.

"It's a bit of a strong man, it's as unlikely as asking Sister Aoi to show you your career line."

The stone statue tried to continue walking this way, but because of Fu Jixian's resistance, it was standing still at this time.

"Can't you tear it down?" At this time, Aoi doesn't have the heart to talk nonsense.

"I'm a physical attack, and on the other side is a pure armor stone man, which is a bit difficult to dismantle."

The strength and tenacity shown by this stone statue are a bit beyond Fu Jixianli's expectations, and it is rumored that zombies have invulnerability characteristics, and this stone zombie should be an incremental enhancement plus version...... This thing is probably the most difficult thing Fu Jixianli has encountered in his life.

Fu Jixian controlled his hand to wrap around the stone man's arms and torso, and then his gaze shifted downwards to the thing's upside-down legs.

"Let me show you my Fu style mastery...... Lightning whip, lightning whip, lightning whip! ”

Fu Jixian grabbed one of the stone man's legs and jerked it, then pushed it up and down and pulled it down, and with the same force, he put the thing down in an instant...... After all, a stone is a stone, and the joints of the limbs are much stiffer.

After being put down, it becomes like a turtle, and it is not easy to turn over.

Fu Ji Xianli rushed to the direction of the top of its head, stepped on its shoulder, and then wrapped all the tentacles around the stone head, and then suddenly used force to remove the stone head.

However, at this time, the stone man seemed to struggle how he should struggle.

"Lijun, what are you doing in a hurry to dismantle your head, it's more useful to dismantle an arm and a leg than this."

"Uh, sorry, habit issues."

Fu Ji Xianli just subconsciously regarded this thing as a living thing, so he chose such a deadly attack.

Aoi Manaka: "......"

Habit problems? This man's habits seem a little wrong.
