Chapter 032 ID: Forest (Ashes)
The three of them were startled at first and tried to run towards the woods, trying to use the water and soil of the woods to avoid the attacks of the dead gray field.
But the frightening thing is that no matter how much the three men run, they can't always get close to the woods.
It's as if you've reached the edge of the map, and no matter how much you run forward, it's just a futile slide on the spot!
As soon as they turned around, the church that was about to be destroyed was close at hand, the black tide and ashes were mixed into the sky, the grass and trees around them withered and spontaneously combusted, and even the hair of the three of them seemed to be filled with cigarette butts, and the burning pain became more and more unbearable.
In the black tide, it was more like there were countless sick people coughing and wailing in pain, as if they were going to drag them into it.
The baseball cap player frantically slapped the flames on his head and stomped his feet in horror: "It's over!" We're trapped! ”
Cao Zhengfei hurriedly put away his weapon: "Be careful of bullets exploding due to high temperatures, put away the weapon first!" ”
"Come here, hold on to me!"
With a twist in his heart, Fang Liang no longer had any reservations and scruples, he did not hesitate to activate the power of the curse, and a vague figure flashed from the darkness, and then quickly integrated into his body, turning into a blood-red phantom that looked like Fang Liang, rushing out of his body.
The forest and the earth began to distort in Fang Liang's eyes, and a red light that was more than a foot wide extended from under Fang Liang's feet.
This force is simply a fragile red bridge erected above the abyss, as if if one wrong step without attention will fall into darkness forever.
Fang Liang tried his best to stabilize his mind, trying to control the blood-red shadow to decrease its speed.
However, I don't know if it's an illusion, even if he runs backwards, the shadow seems to be much faster than the last time, so the recast of the technique doesn't seem to be as easy as imagined, a premonition that the curse is about to get out of control makes Fang Liang fall into palpitations for a moment.
"It's a death horizontal, there's no way, let's get out of here first!"
Fang Liang grabbed the other two, the distorted light and shadow quickly regressed in his eyes, and when he used the curse, he fell into a cold body, which was actually able to resist the suffocating ash realm, so that the body would not smoke and spontaneously combust in a few seconds.
Fang Liang had also sensed it just now, once he entered this strange realm of dead gray that was constantly falling ashes, the space around him would also appear strange.
However, compared to the dead line effect, which can be extended in a straight line, the hemispherical coverage of the dead gray field has a limit.
Distorted light and shadow flew on both sides, and in a matter of moments, the three of them were in front of the clinic in Copperkettle Town.
The blood-red shadow was only half a step slower, and it was almost taken precedence.
Only this time, it didn't show too many anthropomorphic movements, it just stood in front of Fang Liang weirdly, and its arms disappeared.
Fang Liang ripped off his mask, at this moment, his face was pale and he was panting for breath, and he felt that the world was spinning under exhaustion and prostration, and he couldn't rely on willpower to support his body to walk, so he had to sit on the ground, covering his buzzing and tinnitus head and sweating continuously.
Seeing this, Cao Zhengfei immediately took out two candles and lit them, and placed them at Fang Liang's feet in an orderly manner.
As the two watched, the candle's flame eerily jumped out a foot high.
The two candles burned rapidly, and Fang Liang's face quickly turned out of pale, gradually becoming sallow, and finally regained a trace of human color.
The candle and wax tears were gradually extinguished on the ground, and Fang Liang didn't have the heart to shovel it at this moment. After getting out of the dead gray realm, Fang Liang gradually felt that his mouth and throat had become moisturized, at least no longer to the extent that he felt the smell of rust in his mouth when he said a few more words.
Breathing a little slowly, Fang Liang pulled the mask again, shook the soaked inner lining, and said in a very helpless tone: "It almost overturned, it's a suffocating operation, Ah Fei, what's going on with that cursed treasure chest, have we triggered some kind of killing law for it?" ”
"If I had to do it again, I'm really not sure if my state would be able to withstand the curse."
Cao Zhengfei's eyes were full of embarrassed smiles, and he hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, this time it's really my pot." ”
"Really, I didn't know that the cursed treasure chest was the type of taking advantage of people's danger at first, obviously I didn't sweep it within a radius of 50 meters, I thought it wasn't nearby, but when it was in danger, it suddenly brushed into the grave, and I couldn't help it......"
Fang Liang took off his hat and shook his head: "Is that so?" This curse is indeed very good at psychological loopholes in a sense, but if this happens in the future, at least inform me that this time there is no preparation at all - it is terrible! ”
"That Tie Han coldly opened a boss, if it weren't for the fact that the church illusion is also some kind of curse, which can offset and confront it, I'm afraid we will have to explain on the spot."
The baseball cap player's face is not very good, ordinary people are simply vulnerable in the face of that kind of power, he really wants to die as much as he wants, he doesn't want to experience death in such a realistic game, but he is afraid of the cursed power on Fang Liang's body.
If the curse gets out of control, you will be killed and occupied in an instant, which is definitely not a regular skill to play around.
Fang Liang recovered and buckled his hat back: "It's all here, you're welcome, just come in." This is our temporary shelter, and while it's still dark, we'll get the exchange of information done quickly, and you'll need to be needed for this. ”
"Anyway, I saved you once, and it won't be a bad thing for you to cooperate with us to investigate the curse later, right?"
The baseball cap player had not yet recovered from the horror, and when he heard Fang Liang's invitation, he had no choice but to nod again and again, following the arrangement of the two.
Knocking on the door, Lu Ming, Li Xiaoyu and the doctor had already heard the movement, and walked quickly with a homemade iron thorn wooden mace.
"What, are you being attacked by a curse? How did you get disgraced, and who is this person? ”
Fang Liang raised his hand to signal the player to enter the clinic, then locked the door, walked into the Sanlian room with a candle, and casually touched a chair and sat down in the corner: "He's the same as us, so we'll talk about those things later." ”
"Long story short, I'm going to confirm the key intelligence now. The more curses we master, the better our chances of surviving to beat the level. ”
After Fang Liang said this, he exchanged words with his teammates for a while, laying out everything in advance to prevent further changes in personnel.
Then, the room fell silent, and all eyes were on the doctor.
The doctor, who could not help but wipe his nose, trembled and sat down in his chair, ready to be interrogated.
Fang Liang pulled the baseball cap player to his side, pressed his shoulder and asked, "Doctor, do you know this person?" ”
"I don't know." The doctor shook his head, obviously not understanding Fang Liang's intentions.
Fang Liang pondered for a few seconds, and then asked again: "Then let me say it another way, have you ever dreamed of this person?" ”
"Staring at his face and remembering carefully, haven't you really dreamed of him?"
The doctor was induced by Fang Liang, and a trace of confusion gradually appeared in his eyes, he looked at the stranger wearing a baseball cap fixedly, and with Fang Liang's words inducing, his expression became more and more confused.
"You really don't remember anything when you remember that swamp, when you remember that slitty path, when you remember the weight of your body on your back?"
Between the lightning and the fire, the doctor began to tremble, he suddenly remembered something, and his face turned pale in an instant: "I, I remembered, I really dreamed of this person!" ”
"He, he won't tell me how to leave, and then he killed me in a dream, not only him, there must be someone else, he came to kill me, he must have come to kill me!"
"Help me, help me! I don't want to die, why, why are you just standing on the sidelines and watching, are you ......"
Lu Ming, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately trapped the doctor who wanted to escape.
Li Xiaoyu took out a sedative and slowly injected it into the doctor's body, and the trembling doctor quieted down again.
Fang Liang looked into the doctor's eyes and asked word by word: "Doctor, please tell me the truth, this matter is related to your life safety, you must not lie to me in this matter." ”
"Did you really fall asleep these two nights?"
"If you fall asleep, what state are you in?"
The doctor couldn't help but touch his nose, which was becoming more and more uncomfortable, and there was a wisp of crying: "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I'm definitely more or less affected by the curse, are you going to leave me here to die after you ask?" ”
Fang Liang continued to soothe the doctor's emotions, and took out twelve points of patience to find an entry point, his words were very skillful: "No, this matter is very important, we will not leave you because of this, as long as you tell me, I may be able to find a way to let everyone live." ”
The doctor endured fear and discomfort, and under the great panic and pressure, he said tremblingly: "I'm sorry, I hid something before, I actually didn't dare to sleep, and every time I fell asleep, I would dream." ”
"The darkness wants to devour me, the forest wants to trap me, obviously I didn't cause it, but every time I dream I am always killed, I always can't find a way out, my food reserves are getting less and less, once I get into the habit of eating mushrooms, I really can't be helped!"
"I don't want to be disgusting with mushrooms growing on my body, I really just want to get out of here, and I don't want to hurt others, but you guys seem to have slipped in from the outside world, why don't you tell me how to leave!"
"I just want to get rid of this nightmare and get some sleep, I don't want to be that disgusting and horrible monster......"
Hearing the sound, the players wearing baseball caps were extremely shocked, and although Lu Ming and the others were also extremely surprised, they did not make a sound.
The doctor was crying with a broken heart, and his long-term inability to sleep was constantly eating away at his body and immune system.
Even if no one kills the doctor in their dreams, when the reserves are exhausted, he will either eat mushrooms and become a patient, or die of a Kuroshio attack due to lack of fuel, or he will starve to death in despair.
Fang Liang closed his eyes and finally let out a long breath, although this situation was more terrifying than the previous one, now he knew at least most of the secrets of the curse.
As long as he could find the true map location of the source of the curse, Fang Liang was sure to dissect this curse clearly.
Just as he was about to ask the doctor a few more words, Fang Liang suddenly felt a chill on his body, his mouth, tongue and throat fell into paralysis, and he said uncontrollably: "It's getting dark, but some kind of terrifying curse hasn't given up the pursuit, if I can't stop it from entering the shelter, we will all die." ”
"I need to increase the power of the curse to be able to protect the house, but it's dangerous because channeling the curse to save people is a contradiction in itself, but if I didn't, I would die here."
Hearing this, Cao Zhengfei and the familiar baseball cap player looked at Fang Liang one after another.
The influence of the curse's power on itself seems to be rapidly increasing, as the length of the curse's lines has obviously increased dramatically......
Fang Liang's heart was shocked, and he didn't have time to speak, so he hurriedly walked to the window and observed the outside through the gap in the wooden plank.
The trees darkened, and an eerie mist of leaden gray poured out of the surface, thickening like dry ice smoke on a magic stage.
The mist swept in the wind, revealing the roots and vines of trees.
But a certain dead gray field was obviously approaching this place, and the candle that Cao Zhengfei had just placed on the road actually spontaneously combusted without fire when the ash field approached!
"Oops, the previous dead line effect didn't succeed in getting rid of it!"
