Chapter 043 ID: Forest (Source)

"yes, why is it exactly the same?"

The doctor was stunned to sense all this, as a doctor, he should have discovered this a long time ago, what kind of power changed his cognition, causing him to not even be able to detect this basic anomaly?

"It means that the source of the curse is in this hole, right down here."

"You close your eyes first, and I'm going to give you a little protection so that when you enter the exploration, you won't be killed instantly when you trigger the curse law."

Fang Liang pulled out a charcoal pen, there was no red marker here, it was okay to make do with charcoal casually.

The curse itself doesn't have any need for color, it's just for the sake of visual intuition, Fang Liang will use the pen, otherwise it is not needed.

Then, Fang Liang took out the broken knife from his backpack and summoned the figure represented by the death line effect.

Although this knife comes from the Mimic's body, it is not really a cursed thing, but only contains the cursed power of the Mimic, and once it leaves its body for too long, the metal blade is gradually turning to ashes.

It seems that as long as the curse power is completely gone, this broken knife will only turn into a cloud of ashes, and it will no longer have the ability to attack other curses.

Staring at the Broken Knife, Fang Liang glanced at the shadow again, with a slight regret in his heart: It's a pity, this Curse Broken Knife seems to be able to restrain the death line effect, and it can also restrain the curse in this challenge, if it can be held all the time, maybe it can alleviate the backlash of the curse out of control.

However, the essence of the treasure mimic monster is now missing, Cao Zhengfei himself doesn't know where it went, and Fang Liang has no way to investigate its rules, so he can only use this broken knife as a plot consumable.

As soon as his mind moved, the figure gradually approached Fang Liang's palm.

It stretched out its palm and slowly invaded the body of the charcoal pen without any anthropomorphic anomaly.

In the next second, Fang Liang immediately felt that what he was holding in his hand was no longer a pen, but an extremely cold ice pick that was enough to freeze his tongue to the point that it couldn't be torn off without force.

"I'd better not abuse the power of the curse, I'm afraid it's honest now because I have a countermeasure, and it's hard to say as soon as the knife disappears......"

Fang Liang silently drew a black line on the doctor's hands, neck, and waist, but unlike the original method, the line he drew almost formed a circle, only deliberately leaving a little gap at the end to prevent the line from closing completely.

"It's so cold, it feels like the part below the neck doesn't exist, what the hell is this?"

Fang Liang dispersed the figures, put away the charcoal pen and knife, and tied a sturdy rope to the tree at the entrance of the cave: "Doctor, you can open your eyes, and then listen to me obediently." ”

"Now, hold this rope, go into the cave to investigate the clues, and I will save you as soon as you encounter an accident."

"I, shall I go ahead?" The doctor couldn't help but tremble a little, but when he touched Fang Liang's unmoved eyes, he had no choice but to tie the rope around his waist: "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you, I'll go ahead." ”

Taking a deep breath, the doctor mustered up the courage to walk into the cave.

"What's in the hole?"

The doctor replied, "Uh, under my feet?" Landslides formed by rocks and mud? The slope is not very steep and appears to be a hand-hewn downward passage, like a circular walkway at the edge of the quarry, but there are no handrails...... I'm a bit afraid of heights. ”

With that, the doctor looked down at the cavern again.

Suddenly, Fang Liang saw four invisible black lines pouring out of the doctor's body, each tied to his right hand that had just drawn the line.

When the doctor's probe was downward, the black line that Fang Liang applied to the doctor's body actually began to become unstable, and a strange itching and chill continued to surging towards Fang Liang's body along the black line, as if someone was blowing softly in his ears, startling half of his face with goosebumps.

The doctor's voice suddenly became trance: "Strange, there seems to be a light source under the cave?" There weren't any holes overhead, it wasn't supposed to be the light from the sun falling on the lake, but it seemed a little strange, and I couldn't help but want to get closer......"

"Close your eyes and don't look at it!" As soon as Fang Liang pulled the rope, the doctor stumbled and fell to the ground like a dog eating.

In the next second, the black lines on Fang Liang's wrist quickly disappeared, and the itching and chill also disappeared.

"Whew, it hurts, what happened to me just now, what's that?" The doctor who came to his senses lifted his glasses, and he unconsciously rubbed his red nose, which was about to be completely broken, as if the pain could make him feel a little more refreshed.

Fang Liang grabbed the doctor's neck and glanced at it, in just a few seconds, the black line on his neck had faded by one-fifth of its length, if the doctor was allowed to continue to look at it like that, this black line would definitely continue to retreat until it completely disappeared.

"I don't know, but if you look at it for a few more seconds, I'm afraid you'll be dead, and I won't be able to get you out."

"Now, you face the rock wall, with your back to the light source in the middle of the pit, try not to see it, watch your step, and walk down slowly."

Fang Liang commanded again, and the doctor did the same, because he felt that his neck seemed to be a little more comfortable, but there was a strange feeling that could not be explained.

The doctor entered the cave, and the black line on Fang Liang's wrist resurfaced, but this time there was no abnormal sensory coming, and the doctor walked normally.

"Can't you look directly at the body of the source of the curse? The source of the curse is disguised as an anomalous light source......"

"Hmph, I see! If that monster pretends to be me and tricks other people into it, it will cause a group annihilation when you enter the cave and look down, and the attack efficiency of this curse is comparable to that of high-intensity radiation, and it will be attacked the moment you see it! ”

Fang Liang squatted at the entrance of the cave, he didn't dare to slack off in his heart, he put the rope inch by inch, and the doctor also moved forward inch by inch.

The length of the rope is not long enough to reach the bottom of the cave, but it is more than enough to test the laws of the curse.

After all, there is a shortage of materials here, and there are not so many props and conditions to make an insurance investigation plan.

"Now, close your eyes, lean as far as you can against the rock wall, and turn to face the pit."

The doctor obediently complied, and with Fang Cai's strange experience, even if Fang Liang didn't say it, he didn't dare to look directly at the unknown light source at the bottom of the pit.

The doctor continued walking, still uneventful.

Seeing that the rope was about to be released, Fang Liang untied the rope tied to the tree, carried the broken knife in his arms, and walked down all the way facing the rock wall.

The path carved out of this rock wall was actually very wide, almost enough for two people to climb up and down with a burden, but at the thought that the source of the curse was under the cave, Fang Liang didn't dare to go too far from the rock wall.

"Hey, I've gone down to the bottom, there aren't any steps left here, what should I do now?"

"As long as you don't look at the light source, just stand there and wait for me, don't move."

Fang Liang went all the way down, and only after confirming that he had reached the flat ground did he look up to observe the rock wall and the upper part of the cave.

The crevices in the rocks are full of tree roots, and the whole cave is not really deep, but it is hidden in the depths of the forest of the Dawn Swamp, which is usually very hidden, and it is undoubtedly a curse to enter this place quickly in the dark.

The cave itself is not as big as imagined, and it is not even as large as the office area of the building, Fang Liang estimated that the area at the bottom of the cave should not exceed 400 square meters.

Fang Liang went down to the bottom of the cave and asked the doctor to turn his back to the light source and not move, while he faced the doctor's back, bowing his head and retreating step by step.

The situation at the bottom of the cave was much worse than Fang Liang had imagined, it was full of tree roots and human bones, as if walking on a carpet full of tentacles, and every time he landed, he had to be careful not to trigger the cursed nerves.

But soon, Fang Liang found that the situation was wrong, because he found that among the "cocoons" with entwined roots, there were actually many adults curled up like babies, lying in a nest made of bones, unconsciously sucking the bone marrow in their arms.

These people seem to have been trapped here for a long time, and the hair on their bodies has grown super long and grown like wild people, inch by inch entangled with the roots of the tree, apparently without pruning for many years to grow into this strange appearance.

Based on the level of light on their faces, Fang Liang knew that he was not far from the light source, but he definitely couldn't turn around now, otherwise he would have to use another high-intensity death line effect to resist the attacks of other curses.

Fang Liang changed direction and walked towards the adults who were constantly sucking the bone marrow, trying to wake them up.

No matter how Fang Liang shook it, those people just wouldn't wake up, once the fresh bones in their hands fell off, their aging and wrinkled faces would actually let out a terrifying baby cry, and their hands were constantly groping around for warm bones that they could suck.

With this cry, a fresh bone with minced meat fell from above the tangled roots, and fell into the cocoon with unmistakable precision.

The crying stopped again.

Fang Liang immediately gave up these people who couldn't shake or wake up, and continued to walk backwards in front of the doctor.

However, the closer he got, Fang Liang's heart also produced an illusion of warmth and softness, which made him want to look back at the light source so that he could take a closer look at what was occupying the center of the light.

This feeling gradually became stronger, but Fang Liang knew that it was a curse, he just took out the broken knife and held it in his hand, this illusion began to weaken rapidly, and a dull, hot feeling began to gradually take its place.

"The bottom of the cave is almost circular, and it's obviously an area that has been mined by man, so I don't know what will happen if you touch the light source directly."

With a thought in his mind, Fang Liang summoned the figure generated by the death line effect and let it stand quietly near him.

Once the situation was not right, Fang Liang would launch a curse, as long as he entered the realm of time and space confusion, this source would definitely not be able to stop him.

Fang Liang continued to retreat, and he found that there were more and more living people sleeping near the light source, some of them even holding weapons and wearing shabby military uniforms, but when they turned to face the light source, all struggles were over.

Fang Liang stopped, because he found that at his feet, there were several people dressed in investigator clothes, holding fuel cans and lighters in their hands, just lying there quietly and sleeping.

Kicked the investigator, who remained asleep and showed no signs of waking up.

Fang Liang took a step back, feeling something cold and soft behind him.

This feeling was very strange, and it could even force Fang Liang to think about the origin of this feeling: it was as strange as a baby soaking in warm amniotic fluid, touching the womb with his hands and feet.

A pair of hands with long wedding gloves slowly stretched out from the place where Fang Liang touched, and a gentle and coherent voice began to echo in Fang Liang's mind: "Sleep, from this moment on, we will never be separated again." ”

Fang Liang's heart was for a while, because this voice was almost exactly the same as An Yueliu in his impression.

But the next moment, the broken knife in Fang Liang's hand swung, and after these hands were attacked, they instantly retracted into the light source.

"I don't want to kill you, just like I never want to kill anyone, so why do you have to refuse my kindness?"

"Human beings always say that life is like a dream, and some people seem to be living in a nightmare that never wakes up, since the waking world has long been miserable, and the so-called truth has long lost its meaning, why not just fall asleep and never wake up again?"

"Are you going to take away all the power of human dreaming?"
