Chapter 27: The Crystal Coffin
What are you worried about? Only a thousand mountains pass over the end.
The sick man was full of poetry, and after they had finished their poems, they walked to a wall with unfinished satisfaction. Guanglong knew that it was the mechanism leading to the exit.
On the wall in front of him is the first word, which he created himself. Guanglong also stepped forward and touched the words on the wall, the stone wall was hard, and there were no foreign objects in the trenches, and there was nothing special. It seems that Guanglong can't guess the location of the mechanism even if he wants to break his head.
I saw the sick man holding the judge's pen on the wall, along the wall carved stroke by stroke, full of strength and heard the sound of the stone wall rubbing, first "the elegance is peerless", and then described "the sky is high and the clouds are light".
Guanglong looked at Fei Nan incomprehensibly, thinking to himself Is this the key to solving the mechanism? It's really hidden enough, it's hard to imagine. At this moment, the stone wall engraved with the words began to tremble, and the stone chips and dust fell one after another, faintly taking on the shape of a door in the thick of smoke. At the same time, the gears in the door rotate and the bracket rumbles. The stone door is about to open, in a way that no one else can imagine.
Click, the stone gate is the large wall that suddenly turns 90 degrees, forming two gaps of equal width, which can accommodate 2 people to pass side by side. As the mechanism activated, the smoke slowly dissipated, and the faint candlelight inside the door could be seen flickering, as if it were a hall.
Guanglong was curious about the principle of this mechanism, and simply drew two strokes to unlock the mechanism?
Meow meowed: "It's definitely not a random description, it seems simple but it actually hides a murderous motive." This decryption method itself is not something that ordinary people can think of, and even if you think of it, what words will you draw? If it's not the original design, you might want to be greeted by hidden arrows, traps, etc. It's a unique design. ”
Fei Nan said: "I think it's not only that, but it can't be without the key to open this lock." Think about the diamond on the tip of the pen, is it just for engraving? ”
Guanglong suddenly realized: "You mean, the mechanism uses a certain characteristic of diamonds?" ”
Fei Nan said: "I don't know very well, it's just my personal guess." It is estimated that it takes advantage of the heat-sensitive and extremely conductive properties of diamonds. You must know that the temperature here is already very cold, and it only takes a little temperature to resonate with the stone wall. ”
Guanglong touched the stone wall with his hand, and sure enough, it was cold to the bone, and he suddenly remembered that in the mirror array, there were thousands of years of icicles standing, and the cold between them was inevitable.
Fei Nan added: "Also, don't forget that the composition of diamonds is carbon, which has the property of triboelectric electricity. ”
It makes sense, I don't know if the opening of the stone door has some connection with electricity.
Although the secret room is large, not necessarily every poem is a secret door, just take Guanglong and Fei Nan accidentally opened, it is obviously not a door, and the thin stone wall cannot contain the mechanism to open the door. If it hadn't been for the coincidence of using the sarcophagus to knock the wall open, they might have been together with the zombies by now.
Guanglong walked into the stone gate with a worried heart. As soon as he arrived in another room, the sick man gently pushed the stone door, which closed like a spring, and then clicked it shut. Looking at the tight seams, I couldn't see any clues on the stone wall.
The stone room in front of me is about the same size as the previous secret room, the light is obviously much brighter, there are many stone beds on one side, the stone platform and stone bench in the middle are simple and natural, and there is a side door open at the end of the stone room, and the sick man said that it is connected to the outside corridor. Finally it was no longer a secret room, Guanglong felt a little relieved in his heart, and found a long-lost sense of security.
At the same time, Guanglong had a sense of foreboding. I looked up inadvertently, and sure enough, I saw a number of sarcophagi hanging from the ceiling, and there were 8 of them.
Fei Nan also gasped, "Good girl, we're in a zombie den." ”
Meow meowed: "Don't worry, they are failed test specimens, and there will be no danger." ”
Guanglong and Fei Nan were a little surprised, would the walking corpse worm still miss it?
The sick man explained: "Our human experiments here are not only with walking corpse worms, but also other biochemical tests. ”
Guanglong couldn't help but be frightened, the terrifying human laboratory.
The sick man cleared his throat and shouted, "Is there anyone alive?" Come out and serve. ”
After a while, a small guy flashed out of the side door, hurriedly ran over, and said respectfully: "Master, you are back." What are the commands? ”
The sick man said, "Well, go and prepare two men's clothes, and then prepare wine and dinner to entertain the distinguished guests, we are hungry." ”
The little servant commanded: "Okay, a few masters, wait a while, the little ones will come when they go." As he spoke, he bowed his hand and withdrew respectfully.
Guanglong didn't think it was funny when he saw it, he must be the sick man's subordinates.
Meow Meow smiled: "Now there are not many people, and there are only a few soldiers left." Brother Long, let's rest first, your brothers will reunite, and you can have a hearty drink for a while. ”
Guanglong will know, and thank Meow Meow for his carefulness with his eyes. Yes, I haven't seen Fei Nan in the work for just a few days, but it's like a few centuries, when I encounter such an opportunity, and life and death are uncertain, why not have a good drink? They sat down on a clean stone bed, covered with thick hides of unknown nature, with thick fur, and sat on it warmly and comfortably.
At this time, through Meowmeow's description, Guanglong had a deeper understanding of the walking corpse insects, surpassing his own design.
It is said that these ancient insects have been prevalent in the local area for thousands of years, but no research materials have been handed down. And with increasing pollution, the walking corpse bugs have mutated. The Party of Spades has been studying this poisonous insect for a long time, a worm that can control people's movements. Finally, we have recently overcome the problem and are ready for clinical trials. Many hostages fell victim to live experiments.
It is clear that the prison here is actually a secret laboratory.
Walking corpse bugs, as the name suggests, after entering the human body, people will become walking dead and lose their thoughts and wills.
According to Meowmeow, the walking corpse insect is hermaphroditic and reproduces on its own even if there is one left. The period of time required to fully control the human body's behavior is known as the first stage of the infection period, and the time before becoming a zombie depends on the host's mental will, but will eventually be controlled by the walking corpse bugs.
Guanglong imagined the hostages devouring roundworm-like insects, and covered his mouth to vomit. How cruel it is to test people in vivo, can't you use mice?
Usually after a few days, the person's body begins to change: itching all over the body, bloodshot eyes. Then the illness became more and more severe, accompanied by a large area of swelling of the body, and the arms and legs seemed to be fat. It felt like every vein was crawling with worms, and the crowd was about to burst. The host knows that the walking corpse bugs have penetrated deep into the bone marrow, but still wants to pull them out. So he grabbed his skin uncontrollably, leaving a trace of blood, but he didn't feel any pain, and his strength increased a lot unconsciously. Strangely, although he has lost his ability to speak, he can still roar. This is the second stage, and Guanglong has encountered it twice.
Guanglong knew what they wanted. Zombies have no pain, which is equivalent to invulnerability; There is also a frightening rage of violence.
Guanglong foresaw a terrifying illness and felt like a man's back, no less than a live thriller. Especially after the experience, the impression is even deeper, red eyes, steel body, and strange power, it turns out that this is how it came. The terrible bloody faces of the zombies were also caught by themselves. There is no pain, indicating that the nervous system of the human body is also occupied by walking corpse worms. Guanglong looked at the hanging coffin above his head with palpitations, can this coffin seal them?
Fei Nan, who couldn't stay idle, didn't feel tired, and took care of herself and turned around leisurely in the stone room.
"Hey, look here!" Fei Nan shouted, only to see him pointing to another stone bed in the distance.
Meow Meow and the sick man looked at each other, as if they knew what Fei Nan had seen, and they didn't react. Guanglong ran over curiously, and suddenly felt familiar, which is the stone bed!
Another sarcophagus! Two sarcophagi placed side by side. However, this sarcophagus is extraordinary, it has no lid and the coffin inside is crystal clear. The deceased is clearly visible and peaceful, as if he were taking a nap. Even Guanglong became careful with his breathing, for fear of waking them up.
"This, this is," Guanglong remembered, "it's a crystal coffin!" ”
Fei Nan nodded and said, "Yes, it is indeed a crystal coffin." You see how well the corpse is preserved, it's like falling asleep. ”
A man and a woman lay in a colorless and transparent crystal coffin. The man is tall, and at first glance he is a powerful type, and his clenched fists are still on either side of his body. Looking at the beard on his face is clearly visible, he is gulping, frowning and squeezing his eyes, as if he was extremely angry and unwilling before he died.
The female corpse had a graceful figure. She has a long barefoot dress, slender arms, and a white flower on her chest, white and flawless. The long hair is scattered casually at the back of the head, flowing like clear water. The eyes are slightly closed, the nose is upturned, and the lips are lightly opened to reveal a shallow smile, giving people infinite strength and a fresh feeling. Charity for the deceased. What's even more amazing is that her skin is fair and delicate, without a line of wrinkles, and there is no swelling. Looking at the woman in the crystal coffin, people inadvertently want to lean down and kiss to wake up the sleeping beauty.
At this time, Guanglong's body was shocked, and there was a shadow of the female corpse!
If the male corpse is a painful and angry death, it brings people despair. The female corpse is a happy and sweet sleep, giving people hope. It's because they looked at the female corpse twice, and the meow who rushed over was not happy, and he was jealous.
Fei Nan said: "Speaking of crystal coffins, it is difficult to use even foreign heads of state now. Who are they treated like this, and are they of high status? ”
The sick man stroked his beard, shook his head helplessly, and sighed: "Alas, they are the 6 and 7 of spades of the predecessor." ”
Yes? So what are Knight and Midnight now? Guanglong didn't care about that, and even the thick clothes sent by the little guy, Guanglong forgot to change them. The little guy said a few polite words and went to prepare wine and food.
Meowth said, "They were defeated by Knight and Midnight, and the price was death." ”
Fei Nan said indignantly: "You are too cruel, look at how old this little girl is, did you do it?" ”
Meow Meow sneered: "It's just that she is not good at school, and her skills are not as good as others." There has always been only one person in the group, and there is a capable person. And don't be fooled by her appearance, she's a notoriously cold-blooded killer. ”
But I heard the sick man say coldly: "Hmph, if the little girl is still alive, you don't know how many times you have died." Remember, roses are beautiful, but they have thorns. ”
Meow Meow continued to explain to Fei Nan: "Don't make a fuss, once you join the group, your life has long been put aside. It's not uncommon to accept challenges from others. If you want to survive, you need to be stronger and stronger. ”
Guanglong couldn't believe that Midnight would attack them, and said to himself: "They really killed them in the middle of the night? ”
Meow Meow doesn't speak, which is equivalent to acquiescence. The owner of the hole cards in the syndicate was originally obtained in this way, completely by force. The chill of killing people in the middle of the night, especially ...... Guanglong became more and more disgusted with him.
Fei Nan stared at the beautiful face of the female corpse, and was embarrassed for a while: "She is a little familiar, can you tell her name?" ”
"Jessamine." Meow Meow muttered, "The Party of Spades has become a member of the killer team. ”
Fei Nan said miserably, "It turned out to be Jasmine, no wonder it was so beautiful." ”
Guanglong and Concubine Nan looked at each other, Jia Simin and them were in the same three-dimensional world, how could they die here.
