Silver Part 10 - The Land of Dreams
"I don't know why, it feels a bit like a horror movie?" Samle stood still, looking at the old house in the distance. Update fastest 78xs // The Ice Road is originally a connected cave, so even in the middle of the day when the sun is at its strongest, it won't be too bright.
The gray mansion is not very complicated from the front, and the walls of nearly ten meters wide are slightly dilapidated, and many parts are even crawling with cobwebs and cracks. The gate of zhōngyāng is much higher than the wall, and the courtyard can be seen faintly from the side of the gate. This is a traditional house, which is not quite the same as the villa building that some people expected.
"Click", in Samle and Mahonin's stunned kung fu, the stars have already inserted the key into the lock hole,
"Aren't you being frivolous, shouldn't we be prepared?", Samle asked,
"I've just noticed that from outside the gate, there is no valuable information." Xingchen turned his head and said, "If there is really anything in this mansion, I'm afraid it will only happen the moment the door is opened." ”
"Mahonin's weather, my toxins, don't seem to be of much use here." Samle said, looking around.
"So I'm in charge of this mission," Xingchen took out two pills from his pocket and handed one of them to Mahonin, "This is a special pill that can resist most of the toxins, including the poison, and may be able to use it later." ”
"Hmm", Mahonin swallowed the pill at the same time as the stars,
"It's only three hours, and you can only use it once a day." Xingchen reminded, "So we have to do our best to solve it." ”
"Where's my share?" Samle asked, puzzled,
"I'm sure even here, there's nothing more poisonous than you." Xingchen held his chin and thought about it for a while, and said seriously,
"Haha~ Just kidding, kidding" Samle waved his hand, "Then let's go in." ”
"The lock won't open...... Xingchen frowned, fiddling with the key, making the keyhole click, "Can't get in"
"What did you say?!" Samle was surprised, and looked down at the keyhole, only to see that the red key had already fitted into the keyhole, but no matter how hard the boy tried, there was no sign of twisting.
"Is the power too small?" Mahonin asked, frowning slightly.
"If the power is a little bigger, the key must be the one that breaks first." Xingchen muttered, lowering his hand, "It seems that it is a bit troublesome to open this door"
"I'll try~" Mahonin stretched out a wrist and replaced the stars.
"How?" Samle asked,
"No," Mahonin said helplessly,
"Then I'll melt the lock," Samle snorted, causing the stars and Mahonin to take a few steps back, take off their gloves, and grab the key.
"Mahonin, do you have any more wounds on your hands?" Xingchen asked, looking at the red between his index fingers.
"Well, yes," Mahonin raised his hand and looked closely, and sure enough, he found a wound on the upper end of his middle finger.
"Shh~hiss~hiss", although the keyhole is relatively strong, the moment it touches Samle's finger, a large hole melts out.
"Huh?" Samle felt something strange in his fingers and couldn't help but stop.
"What's wrong?" Xingchen asked strangely when he saw Samle stop moving.
"This lock, sucking my blood," Samle said with a frown, stroking his palm.
"Kerala", the key that should have been dissolved for the most part, suddenly turned slowly, driving the keyhole and making a burst of sounds.
After half a turn along the arc, the keyhole slowly disappears along with the half-melted key, and the door separates to the sides.
The old and dilapidated courtyard is overgrown with weeds, and the inside of the gate is not much different from what the three of them thought.
"Why was the gate just now?" Samle, still puzzled, asked.
"The blood of the three people, plus the red key, I'm afraid this is the condition to open that door." Xingchen speculated, looking around, as if there was no other way to go except the door that led to the living room.
"This time, the opponent is probably the Spirits of the Ghost Department. Or ......" Mahonin stopped talking and remained silent. It seems that this is really ......
"I don't know if 'they' are afraid of poison?" Samle sneered and said,
"Boom~" The hall connected by the overgrown courtyard was blown open by the strong wind that came for no reason, exposing the deepest darkness. In that invisible space, it was as if there was a closed eye slowly opening......
"Hum~" At the moment when that eye opened, the three of them felt something more on their bodies at the same time, and just when the three of them wanted to come back to their senses, that eye disappeared as if it had never existed. All that was left was a large pile of obsolete furniture.
"What was that?" Mahonin hesitated, did it appear? The dark witch that my father said?
"Shadow?!" Samle shouted strangely as he saw the boy re-enter the door.
"Bang la la", the gate of the ancient mansion popped up a layer of enchantment at the moment when the stars approached, blocking the young man's footsteps.
"I can't get out," Xingchen said solemnly,
"Because of that eye?" Samle asked,
"I don't know, let's go in and have a look" Xingchen shook his head and walked into the room in a few steps.
The living room is much larger than expected, with three doors and long staircases on the left and right edges leading to the second floor above. Also on the upper floor there are three rooms with closed doors.
"Which room to choose next?" Samle crossed his hands around his chest and his gaze swept over the brick floor and old sofa in the living room, "There's nothing in this living room, is there?"
"No, there are." Mahonin tilted his head and whispered.
"Huh?" Samle looked in the direction of Mahonin, and a gray oil painting was hanging on the wall a meter away, and because the colors of the walls were similar, the few people did not see it clearly for a while.
"桀~桀", Samle didn't have time to see clearly, and he heard the whisper of Yin Measure, but it didn't last long before it disappeared.
"Ding~", the black ripples escaped, Samle reluctantly turned his head, only to see that the young man was holding a high-grade ball, which was constantly exuding black aura.
"Banjira's Wave of Evil?" Samle stroked his forehead. "How did you forget this ......?"
"Won't you let it out?" Mahonin asked,
"It's not that you can't let it go, it's that you can't do it." Xingchen frowned, "From the moment we entered the door, we couldn't use the Spirit. ”
"What?" Samle was startled, and the spirit ball on his waist trembled, but there was no sign of opening.
"Step ~ step", in front of the three people, there are bloody footprints, as if someone is walking forward.
At the end of a dozen bloody footprints, a circle of small and small ones appeared, and the last footprint stood on the right zhōngyāng.
As if remembering something, Amle took a deep breath and was about to act, when he saw that Mahonin had already taken three or two steps along the blood mark into the circle.
"Mahonin, what are you doing!?" Samle exclaimed, and was about to step forward and grab Mahonin,
"Snort ~ snort", the arc emits a strong light at the moment when Mahonin enters, and one of them points to the middle room on the upper floor.
"The door is open?" Xingchen said softly, through the door of the upper floor, he could vaguely see the scene inside,
“mahonin?!” Samle's footsteps faltered, and a tall hat suddenly popped out behind him,
The shady arm touched Samle's back, leaving him frozen in place.
"Rules, not allowed to be broken~", the gloomy arm slowly appeared a trace of blood red, sluggish. Taking advantage of this gap, Samle forcibly moved a step, only to finally see the phantom behind him,
"桀~桀", a ghostly spirit with a wizard-like appearance, a two-meter-tall figure, is emitting bursts of oozing laughter.
"Dream demons?" Xingchen hugged Mahonin's cold body and said coldly.
"How's mahonin?" Samle leaned on the ground with one hand and asked with difficulty,
"This is" Xingchen touched Mahonin's arm, and suddenly felt a surge of blood outflow, and his eyes were shocked with anger, and he stood up and looked at the dream demon, "You guy! Draining her life force?! ”
"桀~桀. This is, exchange, condition" The dream demon made a strange tone, but if you listen carefully, it is human language, although it is not very mature, but it is not a problem to express the meaning, the blood-colored part of the front of the arm slowly separates out, and reunites, and the dream demon's injuries recover.
Self-healing? No, this is not self-restoration, the star's gaze moves to the mahonin in his arms,
"Are you using her life force to restore your body?!" The shackles in Xingchen's heart suddenly broke, the mirror that was silent in his heart suddenly became restless, and slowly turned into a starry sky, the young man's eyes turned into beautiful purple in an instant, and with the appearance of the starry sky, strong anger filled his heart. The rare sense of violence in the past 14 years has been slowly liberated......
The dream demon who was thinking about how to mock the three of them suddenly felt a strong aura echoing in the hall, and the ripples formed by the air could even be confirmed with the naked eye, and in front of the dream demon, the black-haired young man slowly stood up, like a demon god. Having lived for a long time since its birth, it understands for the first time what fear is.
"I'll ...... Kill you! Xingchen gently lowered his body, and his eyes swept over the space where the dream demon was,
"Huh?" The dream demon wanted to escape, but the moment he saw the purple eyes, he couldn't move his body.
"Wow", an arm pierced through the body surrounded by black mist, and the stars appeared behind the dream demon at some point.
"Ji !!" The dream demon let out a cry of pain and howled in an unknown sense.
"Ahem ~ Shadow, stop !!" Samle struggled to get up and looked at his companion who had lost control, "Don't let Mahonin's efforts be in vain!" ”
"Huh?" Xingchen heard Samle's cry and turned his head away.
"Huh?" The Dream Demon seized this moment, burst open the lower part of his body, and flew into the door of the upper floor as fast as he could.
The knuckles of the "Kara" stars sounded softly, and they were trying to catch up,
"Shadow, I said stop, ahem," Samle shouted as he struggled to his feet.
Is this the power of the moving state of mind, the irrepressible strong emotion xù? Xingchen breathed the air deeply, slowly stabilized his own feelings, and his eyes turned black again......
"How are you?" Xingchen walked up to Samle in two steps, "What the hell is going on?"
"Ahem, listen to me," Samle's face turned pale, "This ancient mansion, which the boss has studied in detail, should be the residence of a large group of ghost spirits. ”
"Oh?" Xingchen hesitated slightly, a large number of ghosts are agitated spirits? It's not easy to do......
"The real name of this ancient mansion is actually 'The Land of Dreams,'" Samle said after a pause.
"The Land of Dreams?" Xingchen was shocked, why is this here?
"Judging by the way you look, you should know this place...... "Samle Wolf Bèi smiled, taking the boy's astonishment into his eyes, "Gather three powerful trainers, the first person will pay more than half of their lives to open the door of the 'Black Witch', the second person will pay blood to maintain the state of 'open the door', and the third person will enter the 'trading' space, which is the holy place of the ghost department - the land of dreams." Because no matter what you want to get lost, you can achieve it, hence the name. Of course, everything here has to pay an equal price, and the bargaining chip in the deal with the ghost is the life force."
"What about her?" Xingchen clenched his palms and said in a cold voice,
"I'm afraid I've lost more than half of my life...... Samle said helplessly, "I was the first person to take the position...... But now"
Samle took the blades off his waist and slashed them hard at his wrist, causing blood to splash in an instant.
"You!?" Xingchen frowned, "Why?"
"If you don't fill the second person's place, Mahonin's life force will be wasted," Samle shuffled into the circle, blood flowing down his wrist into the circle, but not spilling over the outer area. The dull arc was moistened by Samle's blood and slowly lit up.
"Get in before my blood runs dry," Samle urged,
"Huh~" Xingchen shook his head, unable to accept the qiē in front of him for the time being.
"After entering the 'Dark Witch'," Samle's voice grew softer and softer, and it was clear that the passage of blood had affected him a lot. "Aside from getting the Lost Book back, I hope you'll do me a favor."
"Say it," Xingchen said softly,
"The Lost Book is a catalogue of skills that are not very precious. So there's not much life force to exchange," Samle forced back the dizziness in his head, "If you can, please make another 'trade' to make up for Mahonin's lost life force, and as for the price, take the ...... out of my body"
"In this way, you will die," Xingchen said lightly, "Even if you have a fierce poisonous physique, after losing a lot of blood, and then losing more than half of your life force, you will definitely die."
"It's not something you have to think about. After that's done, the rest of my life will be your reward," Samle's voice grew quieter, barely audible.
"You, are you to Mahonin?" Xingchen asked helplessly,
"I ...... Know...... You like her......" Samle chuckled softly and looked up, "You...... Do not worry...... I don't mean anything to her...... But when I first came to the organization, she was the only one who talked to me...... Plus...... His father was the one who took me out of ...... Poisonous ...... Rescued ......"
"Di~la" Samle fell into a deep coma, and together with Mahonin, there was no sound.
The one who brought you out of the poisonous swamp, is it Satan? Xingchen sighed, and a deep sense of helplessness welled up in her heart, I was just entrusted by someone to not be able to watch her die like this. And you did it in order to repay your kindness...... What a fool.
Xingchen turned around, stepped on the stairs, and walked quickly towards the open door of zhōngyāng...... ()
