Page 46 The Living Corpse and the Ghost Hand
The fact that he couldn't hear the noises and couldn't see the ghosts didn't mean that Merlin couldn't feel the trembling of the whole tower, the claws that were scratching at the ground seemed to have infinite strength, and they could even pull the whole tower to follow its rhythm and vibrate, especially when the pair of claws scratched between the dirt and stone slabs on the ground, it made the ground tremble, as if even the earth that bound it was afraid of it.
[What?! Merlin, who was startled by this sudden shaking, subconsciously curled up and looked around nervously, but the living darkness around him froze for a moment, leaving only a pure, flowing black in front of his eyes.
[I don't think you want to know!] Wizil said quickly, "Let us out, you can't handle this on your own!" It was a little angry, because it was about to take it upon itself to run out of the Poké Ball to help Merlin, only to find itself trapped. In fact, not only it, but all the Poké Balls have been wrapped by Merlin with his abilities, and these abilities that have already quietly wrapped the outside of the Pork Ball make it impossible for it to come out of the Poké Balls at all.
At this time, several other friends also expressed their indignation at Merlin's self-imposed action to block the Pokéball, and it seems that they all plan to run out to help Merlin face those things.
[This time, only this time......] Merlin used his strongest telepathic induction and said to all his companions, "You don't need to help me face this. I know what I'm going to face, and it's my personal responsibility to face these things, and you don't have to risk it with me......]
He took off his silver-rimmed glasses and completely gave up his vision, [Shinto has worshiped and worshipped the dead strong as 'gods' since ancient times, and during the national Shinto period, it even wantonly sent gods to the heroes of lofty ideals, and even revered the living emperor as a mortal god, making it a national symbol and turning it into a hot and distorted faith...... And this is supposed to be the shrine where they are buried and enshrined......]
Following his instinct, Merlin raised his arms and unleashed his power into the bottomless darkness in front of him, the tyrannical ability that could destroy a tangible entity rushed indiscriminately towards the darkness, the sarcophagus shattered, the planks shattered, and the wreckage exploded...... The unbridled frenzy of ability destroyed everything it swept in, crushing and tearing them apart bit by bit until it could no longer be destroyed.
[Since the contact between humans and demonic beasts, human beings have maintained a stereotype, that is, 'humans and beasts are not allowed to bury in the same cave', human beings choose specific tombs for demonic beasts to converge, but bury themselves under ordinary land and return to dust...... It's an old taboo, for some unknown reason, but it's always been observed......]
The unbridled spurt of power was finally blocked, a pair of dark energy that resembled both hands and claws blocked Merlin's ability from continuing to rage, one claw forced them back against the invisible ability, and the other claw kept waving, scratching, tearing at the compressed abilities and tearing them apart bit by bit until they completely dissolved.
"Who broke this iron law! Who would dare to bury the human corpse and the remains of the monster in the same place as the corpse of the monster at such a great risk! Who exactly wants humanity to occupy the forbidden land of 'rebirth'! Who is playing with this forbidden spell! Merlin's low growl came from behind the mask and respirator, and the sound of mixed power echoed violently in the basement of the stone tower, and even the eerie crying and laughing roars could not hide it.
But nothing could answer Merlin's roaring question, and in response was a whistling sound he could not hear at all, a cry that was sharper than the other, a laugh that was more twisted than a maniac, a murmur and a roar that grew more and more frenzied.
It was just that in the thick darkness of the underground stone chamber, a pair of crimson lusters suddenly flickered, like a pair of living things, and the ominous, ugly, and cold light stared in Merlin's direction without concealing the desire and greed contained in it.
"Meat...... Fresh meat ......" the voice of many distinct voices began to murmur to itself again...... Hunger...... Eat...... Eat ......" it gripped harder and harder at the ground that held its body tightly, its sharp claws making noise and tremors incessantly.
"I don't care what you are! I don't want to know who made you so mad! Merlin continued to growl, "I don't want to see you even more!" His cry was somewhat out of tune and broken, "I just know that you shouldn't save zài!" Since there shouldn't be a zài...... more destructive abilities began to escape from Merlin's body, and these powers, which only followed the destructive instinct, quickly dissolved the surrounding darkness into a huge gap with a purple brilliance like substance, "then...... Disappear!! ”
With a final roar of rage, Merlin unleashed his power again, destroying the power of the tangible entity with a terrifying purple glow and dancing like a burning flame, swallowing everything of darkness, dust, slate, wood, dirt, bones, and stumps...... Still, the moment everything touched the energy released by Merlin, it all returned to nothingness, and their tangible entities were destroyed in an instant, until they dissipated into indestructible elementary particles and resettled back into the earth.
However, not "all" of things were destroyed by Merlin's power. First of all, the stone tower itself was not too tragically destroyed, although this force ravaged the entire underground stone chamber, but whether it was the wall carved with exquisite murals, the floor carved with mysterious runes, the ceiling engraved with unknown figures, or the stone pillars with a diameter of several meters and arranged in a regular arrangement full of strange images, they all escaped its poisonous hands, they all maintained their original posture, but the ability to wreak havoc shallow erosion of the original smooth surface, really that's all. In addition to the stone chamber itself, there was another "thing" that was also unharmed after Merlin's unleashed ability, and that was the thing with half of its body buried in the dirt and a pair of claws scratching at the ground with all its might.
Merlin's power dissolved and blew away the darkness around him, and at the same time, with the purple flash it emitted, it briefly illuminated the underground stone chamber that seemed extremely empty at this time, and in the middle of the stone chamber, surrounded and covered by layers of divine patterns and spells, the shape of the thing was finally revealed.
It was a pale "human body", with a disgusting pale and a disgusting slippery feeling on the skin that had not yet been left with a few hairs, as if it had just been salvaged from some long-soaked liquid—swollen and tight, and soaked at the same time. The upper part of its body, which was exposed to the surface, had begun to decay, and beneath the disgusting pale, slippery skin was pink, reddish, crimson, and even brown musculature, which was constantly flowing outward, a thick dark fluid, including both yellow pus and reddish-brown blood. The whole body is skinny, with inelastic skin and rotten muscles hanging on the skeleton, and each of its bones can be directly pointed out, without touching just looking at it. A huge fissure had been made in the abdominal cavity, and through the wound that was covered in mud and dripping with mucus, it was possible to see that the internal organs that had long since lost their function were rotting and decaying......
This was the thing, a corpse that was alive for some reason, a living corpse that was desperately scratching at the ground with a pair of claws that didn't look like human hands, a taboo that wasn't supposed to be buried.
However, Merlin could not see any of this when he took off his glasses, and he could only dimly see a light patch of color moving in his eyes that was different from the color around him......
The darkness that had lost its body seemed to displeased the living corpse, and it suddenly stopped scratching at the ground beneath it, and with a pair of claws supporting the ground, it leaned over and opened its mouth wide, revealing its messy fangs and spitting out a long scarlet tongue, and then a terrible scream erupted from its mouth. Thick black as ink, as if alive, the black also reverberated through the entire stone tower with this scream, once again dominating the space.
"Pre-dinner activities...... I don't like ......."
"Fresh meat...... Eat until ......"
"Stay......"
The surging black space faintly shimmered with a purple glow, and in the empty darkness only echoed the meaningless words of the living corpse.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Merlin and the living corpse that can only be described as disgusting in the basement of the stone tower are holding each other, which can be regarded as the official activation of this unknown plan, and the strange people who are behind the plan are naturally embarrassed to be idle, and they have also actively participated in this plan, each acting as a pawn that has been planned for a long time.
The rickety old woman with a wooden cane in her hand, and Mrs. Juzi, one of the famous Four Heavenly Kings of Guandu, were standing calmly between the large cemeteries in the depths of the Aster Valley at this moment, behind and beside her, there were more than a dozen men and women in black alliance uniforms, and these men and women whose faces were completely covered by gas masks looked around from time to time, not only being careful of the big men of the Guardian Alliance, but also nervously guarding and waiting for something. And in the shadows cast by these men and women, in the sometimes thin and sometimes dense smoke, sinister smiling faces will emerge from time to time.
Kikuko looked at the thick smoke in the distance on crutches, looking very expectant. A man next to her was whispering to her to put on a gas mask just in case, but Kikuko clearly didn't care, "I've been playing with poison all my life," she said to the man in a hoarse voice, "There's no reason to be afraid of these things that I've tamed for a long time." ”
Seeing that repeated persuasions had failed, the man had no choice but to stop talking, and had to carefully step aside and continue to look around vigilantly.
At this moment, there was a sudden explosion in the northwest direction of the group, followed by a series of non-stop roars and explosions, mixed with all kinds of shouts and shouts, from far and near, constantly approaching where they were.
"Be prepared." Juzi raised her thin right hand and ordered, "The fierce battle is about to begin!" She laughed suddenly, lowered her head and whispered to herself, "It's time to end this farce...... As she finished speaking, she slowly raised her gaze, her eyes unbiased as she saw a hunchbacked thin figure emerge from the thick smoke, and the small hunchback in a rag of rags clearly bore the traces of the aftermath of the battle.
"Attack!" Without waiting for Kikuko to speak, the man behind her immediately waved his hand and launched a full-scale attack.
The grimacing grimaces that were originally hidden in the shadows and smoke have now revealed their own shapes, these guys are all Geng ghosts without exception, although some are tall and some are short, some are fat and some are thin, some are dark and some are dark, but these guys with the same sinister smile are all the same kind, and they all look ruthless. The Genghs who leapt to the front of the group have all their special skills, such as shadow balls filled with ghostly energy, night curses with the deepest malice, and stinking mud bombs that emit foul odors...... All kinds of completely different tricks were released from the hands of the completely different Geng ghosts, but the goal was surprisingly unified, that was the short hunchback.
"Cough cough, cough ......" The hunchback in tattered cloth made an extremely strange sound, and then stretched out a hand that was also wrapped in an old bandage from the tattered cloth strips, and scratched it in midair...... Then, nothing was born and nothing changed.
But just as those tricks that vowed to take his life were about to be forced to the hunchback, a vision appeared. I saw a huge palm suddenly emerge from the void, this is a shrunken but extremely fine white palm that has rotted, and the bones and ligaments are directly exposed under the skin and flesh tissue that has begun to peel off, and the tendons in the wrist can be directly seen.
The disgusting palm slowly wrapped into a clenched fist, and then swung forward very slowly...... With such a simple action, it directly destroyed all the special moves that attacked it, and completely annihilated them into nothingness. Then the palm wrapped into a fist slowly opened, and then slowly, little by little, disappeared into invisibility.
The Genghs were very annoyed that they had not received satisfactory results in their first attack, and their trainers, the men and women wearing gas masks and League uniforms, were even more shocked, but they had no more opportunities to express their original feelings, just as the men were about to give the command to "continue attacking", and just as the Gengs began to gather strength again and prepare to perform their tricks, the white palm that had disappeared suddenly appeared again, only this time this palm appeared among the Gengs, The expressions of these guys, who had always been smirking, finally changed, and they all showed expressions of extreme fear and uneasiness.
The white palm naturally did not change its pace because of the fear of the Geng ghosts, it moved very slowly towards the head of one of the fat and strong Geng ghosts, who was obviously the leader, and this Geng ghost locked by it actually began to scream in panic, it writhed its body in fear but could not move at all, it could only stare at a pair of huge, revealing extremely frightened red eyes and watched the white palm touch it lightly, and then disappeared again.
"This ...... What the hell ......" a woman asked a vague question, "how ......"
At this moment, the Geng ghost that had been "touched" by the white palm was suddenly able to move, and I saw it let out a scream that was more than a scream like crazy, writhing its body wildly, and under the gaze of everyone and the same kind, this Geng ghost, which kept venting the pain that only it could experience, melted little by little and turned into a pool of black slime......
"Ahh One of the women let out a scream that shattered her eardrums. Other men and women in the alliance also expressed their shock, backing up, trembling and so on.
"That's the power you got?" Madame Kikuko, however, was unusually calm, and she asked in her slightly hoarse voice that the hunched figure was like two old friends reminiscing about the past, "Is this thing worth your attention?" ”
"Ahem, ahem, caulk......" The hunchback still made a strange sound, "This is not what I want!" He was so excited that he jumped to his feet and shouted, "That's not what I want!" Not these! He jerked up his bandaged palm and pointed at Juzi, "You ruined my one!" Do you want to go on now!? I won't let you succeed again!! No! Absolutely not!! ”
"Why should you continue to be obsessed?"
Directly behind the hunchback, several onmyoji in white formal clothes surrounded the handsome Xiuzuka and walked out of the smoke, and the leading young onmyoji Xiuzuka still looked like he was out of the dust, and he was still holding a folding fan to cover the lower half of his face, "Continue to hold those forbidden thoughts, continue to try to challenge the supremacy," he said indifferently, "You will eventually fail again, no matter how many times you come back............" He stared at the hunchbacked figure with those clear and translucent eyes, " Why do you keep challenging an unchangeable fate?! Everything is doomed, and there is no reason for your doomed failure, and you can't see it yourself......"
"Hiss~~~" The hunchbacked short guy made an ugly hiss, and he jumped on his feet even more excitedly, but just as he wanted to refute the words of the Onmyoji, a sharp blue-white flash suddenly burst out from his left side, and then a series of runes burning with blue-white flames flew into the air to surround the hunchback, and then one after another burning runes stuck to the hunchback's body, and each rune would immediately ignite a sky-high blue-white flame when it touched the hunchback, And the hunchback also let out a huge scream of pain because of the proximity and burning of each rune.
Seeing the hunchback roaring from the constant torture, Hidezuka frowned slightly and looked in the direction where the runes flew out, where dozens of Shinto priests and shrine maidens walked out of the smoke, and the leader was the blind old man who was crumpled like a shriveled orange and always held a wooden bead and a white candle in his hand.
"I'm sorry to disturb the warmth between you onmyoji...... "The blind old woman said in a strange tone, "I think we should eradicate it as soon as possible!" There is no time left to waste! ”
"Ah~~!!" Hunchback roared, "Township!! Are you so eager to get rid of me!? Hunched back twisted to look at the priests and shrine maidens of Shiolai and Shinto, "Are you so eager to get rid of the benefactor who once gave you the greatest authority and the highest honor!?" You guys ...... counted."
Before he could say the rest of his words, he was interrupted again, this time by the sound of Huang Zhong Da Lu's chanting. And the monks who can recite the scriptures like this are naturally those monks who have always been home, these monks with shiny bald scoops holding wooden fish, rattle bells, and bronze bells are beating the old tones to match their own chanting, and they are approaching the hunchback in the roar of hugging their heads step by step.
"Bald donkey!!" The hunchback let out an even more ugly roar, "Why didn't I kill you all in the first place!" ”
......One of the monks seemed interested in answering the hunchback's question, but he didn't have the opportunity to do so, because his words were simply interrupted by the tide.
"Get rid of him! Right now! The blind old woman shouted, "Join forces to get rid of him!" ”
"Now is not the time!" Hidezuka, who had always maintained his demeanor, finally became majestic, and he scolded sharply, "Our chance hasn't come yet!" ”
As he had said, it was not the best time to take out this hunchback, because this hunchback had broken free from the runes and jumped out of the blue-white flames, and he didn't seem to have suffered any more damage except for the burn marks on a few strips of cloth on his body.
"Anything that doesn't kill me will make me stronger!!" He roared, waving his hands in the direction of the blind tide and the monks, and in mid-air, two white palms appeared and rushed towards the priests and shrine maidens of the Shinto and the monks who had always been.
The Shinto side was better, and although they were a little flustered by this attack, they quickly organized a response. But the bald man's side was unprepared, and the monks who obviously knew that this palm was powerful had decisively stopped beating and chanting, and fled with the bald head in all directions, fortunately, followed by a few guys in strange costumes who rushed out of the smoke 6 to organize the chaotic monks again, and finally the finale appeared Another strange man with a mess of heads and rags held up the small crystal ball in his hand and chanted.
"Why do you continue to go against the sky and move against fate." Hidezuka still seemed to try to persuade the hunchback, "You taught my master how to see through fate, how to look through the fog and look into the future, why do you continue to struggle with the future that you have already predestined?" ”
"Fate?" The hunchback seemed to be scratched on the itch, and he turned his head sharply to stare at Hidezuka and the onmyoji behind him, and the resentful and resentful gaze made the onmyoji behind Hidezuka lower their eyes and dare not look at him, only Hidezuka always covered his face and met the hunchback's eyes with an unwavering gaze.
"Ahem, ......ahem," the hunchback laughed a few times, "I've long seen through this so-called 'fate', that filthy bitch, that slutty whore!!!" He cursed a whole lot of foul language, "...... will only deliberately reveal a little bit of seemingly beautiful and moving ** under the tulle, evoking countless fantasies, but cleverly covering up her most filthy and disgusting place!! She is a meat/pot that can be used as much as she can, and a prostitute/prostitute who leans on the door and laughs! As long as you have enough power, you can prostitute her at will! Get on her!! Fiddling with her!! ”
"I think I've ever controlled my fate, I've held her under me and in my hands, I've played with her and bullied her at will......," he cried frantically, "and she couldn't resist at all!" She can only do what I want!! I've pushed Sekiki to the highest heights in history! I made this land so old that it should have been eliminated a long time ago to stand at the top of the world! I have made my lowly servants 'gods' to be worshipped! I make the world tremble and tremble for me!! ”
"But you! But you!! He spun in circles angrily, pointing his bandaged fingers at everyone present, "You have let me down again and again, you have made me sick again and again, you have ruined the qiē that I have worked so hard to create!! Ruined the effort I made!! He roared, "You don't know me at all, you don't know my greatness, just as I didn't know the horrors of this world in the past!" He turned and pointed viciously at Kikuko and the Alliance Operative beside her, "You have no idea what the rules you maintain, what you maintain, what you maintain, they're ugly enough to disgust me, they're evil enough to scare me, they're going to end up being your nightmare!" It has become a lingering nightmare for the whole world and all mankind!! ”
"You guys! You guys!! He pointed to Kikuko, "You will eventually go to perdition, and you will eventually go to the dead road that you have laid for yourself...... If you believe in fate, then I can tell you what awaits you at the end of fate—nothingness! Nothingness of nothing!! It's an endless nothingness of endless regret!! ”
"You guys! You have deprived humanity of its powers! You have convinced mankind of your lies and nonsense! You have led the world into madness and mistakes! You have forced humans to dig their own graves, to build their own coffins, to write their own epitaphs, and you will fill their graves with the last handful of earth...... When that day comes, when that day will inevitably come, you will taste the incomparably bitter and you will suffer the greatest revenge!! ”
"You ......"
Just as the hunchback still wanted to continue his boundless, mindless shouting, a loud roar suddenly sounded in the very center of the valley, accompanied by a tremor of the earth.
"Get rid of him!" Kikuko's eyes suddenly sharpened, "The time has come." ”
Without her orders, the people who had already surrounded the hunchbacks used their own means, and all kinds of attacks beckoned towards one target.
The hunchback, which stopped screaming, let out an even more terrible roar: "No! You can't ......"
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Caught in the infinite darkness, facing the existence that should not belong to this world, Merlin did not have the slightest sense of fear in his heart at this time, which may be due to the reason why he could not see, hear or smell. In a world with almost no senses, Merlin mechanically executes the simplest commands, attacking, attacking, continuing to attack, and constantly attacking...... Wave after fray, he used his power to attack the only thing that existed in this dark world.
Merlin's attack is hardly effective, but the living corpse doesn't seem to have much to do with Merlin, and the two guys, who don't seem to be able to hurt each other, just attack each other monotonously in the underground chamber of the stone tower, one following instinct and the other following something similar.
"Poof!"
Merlin's ability to release has encountered obvious stagnation, and with the feedback of his feelings and abilities, Merlin can only barely analyze that it is some viscous semi-liquid matter, which seems to be a mixture of toxins and ghosts, but there are some other unknown substances in it. But if his eyes were good and his nose could smell the scent, he would be able to see that what was actually blocking his abilities was a large puddle of purplish-red, rotten, soft "sludge" that seemed to be a mixture of rancid blood, rotten flesh, and coagulated venom, and the mud that kept dripping from the main structure would make a burning sound when it fell to the ground. They form something similar to a "hand", and five "fingers" are spread out to wrap Merlin around.
Merlin certainly couldn't let the stall envelop him, he didn't want to taste how poisonous the solidified venom was. Immediately, he summoned a furious blast of power towards the mud that was enveloping him from all directions.
But at the same time as his ability to attack the mud out of his body, another "hand" suddenly pierced the mud and stretched out and grabbed Merlin, who was almost defenseless at the moment. It was a dark purple claw, with countless barbs and spikes on the tip of the claw, and the ghost claw composed entirely of metamorphosed ghost energy not only pierced the "hand" made of mud, but also easily tore through the ability protection system arranged by Merlin, and the fingertips that flashed with purple light and cold light reached Merlin's throat almost instantly, and it only needed a little further to tear apart Merlin's throat and grab fresh flesh and blood.
"To the end ......"
"Finally fresh meat to eat......"
The living corpse muttered contentedly.
