Chapter 2: The Tomb of the Dead
Hold your breath and curl up your body, trying to reduce your presence.
A series of actions are done, completely from the heart, without a trace of hesitation.
Even if he has already cursed the guy who disturbed his thinking for no reason, he still can't change Gu Cheng's determination to pretend to be dead.
One set in the heart, one set on the surface, is so taken for granted.
Not to mention that during those decades of possession, when watching super long and boring small movies, I was singing all kinds of counter-tunes with the owner of my body all the time.
But all kinds of curses and viciousness, jealousy and resentment and other emotions are not as good as the distorted obsession that he wants to live well.
The unknown danger was outside, and Gu Cheng was not so helpless. His determination to yearn for a new life would never allow him to do those meaningless things.
This is the calm after more than a dozen years of incompetent rage.
Danger was in sight outside, but Gu Cheng was as peaceful and comfortable as a sleeping baby in this dark and narrow space.
"Knock knock, knock knock..."
The sound of percussion grew stronger and faster, interspersed with the heart-rending roar of a monster.
Listening to the sound seemed to be a death-like scream and wail.
"Huh. Poor acting. Gu Cheng flashed a trace of disdain in his heart, but his hands and feet were honest, far away from the handle next to him, for fear that one would accidentally touch a certain mechanism.
"If you want to lure me out and die, don't be kidding. Now I only hope that this iron lump that traps me can withstand the destruction of the other side, and don't let myself die inexplicably here at the place of birth. The heart prayed secretly, and habitually cursed more viciously.
One minute, two minutes.
The tearing screams gradually disappeared, and Gu Cheng was still waiting patiently. It wasn't until about half an hour later that a crack inexplicably appeared in the small space that had trapped him for decades.
It actually took the initiative to open the metal cover above!
The subtle and clear sound of metal gear collision coming from the surroundings all penetrated into his ears, which made Gu Cheng a little overwhelmed for a while.
Lying in it on its own, why did it move on its own? Gu Cheng, who couldn't figure out the situation, subconsciously looked at the widening gap with vigilance.
After a dazzling blue light, Gu Cheng was dazzled. Blue halos of different sizes are irregularly patchwork with each other, forming a bizarre blue light curtain.
The pus in his eyes began to flow unconsciously. There was also a faint slight pain in the head, and the body leaned forward slightly and the center of gravity was unstable.
Gu Cheng only felt that his current situation was terrible, much worse than his predecessor's sick-ridden body.
His head was a mess, and his lungs felt like they were on fire. The legs seemed to be easily broken by an external force in the next moment, and the feeling of fragility was especially obvious.
None of this is such a great experience. For a moment, Gu Cheng began to miss his ex.
The choking sensation in his throat became even more obvious, and Gu Cheng involuntarily began to retch.
The sudden burst of nausea directly made the water in the eyes more turbulent. With one hand on his knees, he was half-lying on the ground, and the other hand was clutching his throat. His body curled up like a dying lobster, desperately trying to breathe the last breath of air in this world.
With each breath, the tearing and burning sensation in my chest became even more obvious.
Waiting for his body to quickly adapt to the sense of balance, Gu Cheng was even more busy starting his self-rescue plan.
The left hand rubbed his eyeballs rudely, trying to get it to adjust to the sudden bright light by stimulating it. Although now Gu Cheng is full of doubts about whether the eyes of his body can still be used! But the situation no longer left him with no choice, and before the unknown danger could move, regaining his vision was a necessary choice.
The right hand went directly into the mouth for a while, and directly grabbed out the hard object that had been stuck in the throat for a long time, and the viscous and foul-smelling liquid on it was directly ignored by Gu Cheng.
In sync with this series of movements, the feet quickly step back. Unfortunately, I didn't take two or three steps back before I hit the wall, and this idea of trying to distance myself from the other party as much as possible was nullified.
After a series of informal stimulation, Gu Cheng finally recovered a certain amount of vision!
The first thing that catches your eye is the dark lamp that still emits a small blue flame. The whole lamp was funnel-shaped, quietly emitting its faint light in the grooves of the wall.
It was this inconspicuous little thing that directly caused Gu Cheng's eyes to suffer a series of damages.
There was no time to give Gu Cheng more time to think about anything else, so he quickly glanced around. Gu Cheng was very afraid of the sound of the constant slapping on his coffin.
Before I saw him with my own eyes, I probably wouldn't be at ease rubbing my eyeballs.
Gu Cheng maliciously complained about his bad body in his heart.
However, there was no trace of the mysterious creature around, not even a living thing, as if everything existed in Gu Cheng's fantasy.
At that moment, Gu Cheng felt as if he was really hallucinating, and he heard that everything was because of the sequelae of his decades of boring life.
However, Gu Cheng knew that this was obviously unrealistic. Gu Cheng thinks that he is not a person with weak willpower, otherwise decades of suffering and torture would have caused his thinking to collapse, where would it be his turn to return to the perfect consciousness?
Hallucination, if there is no interference from external forces, is almost impossible for Gu Cheng, who has only existed in the ability to see and hear for decades.
The surrounding space is not too large, and you can browse it at a glance. A stone chamber of up to 20 x 20 x 5 m, where there used to be anything around it, has now disappeared. There are still some wood chips and all kinds of strange messy garbage left on the ground. Most of the debris on the ground, Gu Cheng has never seen it, but at least he is sure that there are absolutely no such things on the Blue Star... Half of an unknown skull, shriveled fist-sized eyes...
Through careful and careful exploration, Gu Cheng determined that there was no second real living creature in this room except for himself.
Maybe the other party has already left here, Gu Cheng thought secretly in his heart.
Except, of course, the mechanical coffin, which is still changing shapes and making squeaks of various mechanical gears rubbing.
Gu Cheng was extremely sure that it was a coffin erected on the edge of the wall! Although it has changed now, it still can't change Gu Cheng's inherent judgment.
"Crunch~"
The merging sound of metal in place suddenly coalesced, and this one was suddenly louder than any of the previous ones.
This is the difference between a single scene and a chorus of 10,000 people.
Of course, Gu Cheng's attention is not on these small details. Now, he is preparing to sort out what little inheritance he has left.
After carefully observing for a while and finding that the strange coffin did not have any other abnormal reactions, Gu Cheng decisively gave up the idea of staying by its side again.
With his gaze, he drew the farthest distance from the iron lump, where he would next tidy up his self-harvest.
touched his dry and rough face, this is Gu Cheng's own body, that's right! But it's uncertain who the owner of this body is.
Based on the remnants left over from the various similar burial goods around, it was not difficult for Gu Cheng to make a bold guess, this was a small and simple burial chamber.
However, what puzzled Gu Cheng was that the owner of this body before his death should be quite wealthy logically. The richness of the tomb can be seen by the various residues left in the burial chamber, which are small stones that exude a metallic sheen.
Well~,,, according to the name of Blue Star, it should be something like gold, diamond, agate, etc.
That street boy didn't have much contact with these things, and Gu Cheng didn't have much knowledge in this area, so he could only have a vague concept.
But the question is that the wealth in life is what this small and simple room can show?
Even if this tomb was full of the most valuable stones, it wouldn't be able to hold much, right?
"No, no, no. This shouldn't be the so-called Blue Star World, and I can't let that street fight affect my common sense judgment. I'm not the street boy. Gu Cheng put all kinds of doubts in his heart to the back of his mind, and then patiently checked the few useful items he had searched.
A black coat of unknown material, very simple, with several large holes in the middle.
A piece of hind leg meat that I haven't seen a giant beast before!
And then there's the rag doll that I carry with me.
It's shabby, and it's a simple relic.
But this is already very happy for a guy who has just woken up from the coffin and has no hair on his body,,, at least he still has clothes to wear!
What caught Gu Cheng's attention the most was not the first two most urgently needed necessities, but the rag doll that crawled out of the strange coffin with him.
The whole rag doll is covered with all kinds of pudding, and at first glance, it looks like it is made of various scraps. Different from the other cute appearances, this rag doll was not as evil and hideous, and Gu Cheng did not feel any other positive impressions from him.
His eyes were black, like the gaze of death. Gu Cheng just looked directly at those fake eyes, and his heart trembled inexplicably, and he had no intention of exploring again.
Although curiosity is there, it is not so tough.
At least its hideous, scarred, ugly face, and all sorts of other parts to look at, isn't it?
The twisted nose directly refreshed Gu Cheng, and for the cognition of this organ, the big mouth was even more direct, and the back of the head was full of funny.
If it weren't for the non-existent teeth inside, maybe this was definitely a monster ready to eat people.
It's an evil thing!
The absolute represents foreboding and evil.
Gu Cheng's first impression of it was like this. Whenever I think of this guy who has been in the same coffin with me for more than ten years, I feel an inexplicable chill behind my back.
"Whew~."
Exhaled hard, put the doll on the ground, and Gu Cheng was ready to look at the so-called "coffin" that had stopped changing.
As for the other objects, um~,,, one is already wrapped around the body, and the other is in a state of not being able to hold or bite.
It's hard...
