Chapter 42: 'Any Door'
When he arrived in this village, Lan Qi immediately frowned. This...... The village looked like it had been abandoned for a long time, and there were a dozen crows perched on the trees at the entrance of the village. It kept rattling at the head of the village, and the trees were already dead.
From the outside, it doesn't seem like much. But there was no one to be seen, and there was even a very strong smell of blood.
I'm afraid it's not a dead person, but a slaughtered village.
It's scary to think about it, it's either a monster or a bandit. Ghosts can only kill people indirectly, and they can't kill people directly. Not to mention the smell of blood.
After Master Wuqing smelled the blood, he immediately strode towards the village. And Mu Qing followed closely, Lan Qi said with a confused expression: "Don't you observe anymore?" What if there are traps? ”
But the two of them didn't speak, so there was no way. I can only ask the system to help me be vigilant around, and I can't feel the demonic spirit or anything: "System! Be vigilant and tell me what you find. ”
[Understood! 】
After explaining, Lan Qi followed the two of them. After walking into this village, the ground was covered with blood and messy footprints. But he didn't even see a single corpse, how could the corpse disappear?
Looking at the bloodstains on the scene, it seems to be still fresh. It doesn't look like it's been a long time, but it's open from the situation at the village gate.
It's been going on here for at least a few years, and by guess it's a monster.
Venerable Wuqing frowned and walked into their homes from house to house. But nothing was found, and that's when Lan Qi discovered. There seems to be something in the middle of the village, and it looks like a lectern.
How could there be such a thing in this village?
But the system didn't send out an alarm, so he pulled Mu Qing forward to check.
This form of the podium is actually a cabinet. It's just that there is a problem with the angle of Lan Qi's station, so I saw it wrong.
Seeing that there were no clues, he prepared to leave. But Mu Qing found something different in this cabinet, that is, a letter.
And the letter is still very new, like it just came in.
The letter reads: "Who will save us? We've been here for a long time, getting killed every day. I can't stand it anymore! ”
What does that mean? Killed every day? Are you kidding me?
But this is also the only clue, and the whole village seems to have disappeared out of thin air. There was no trace of anyone coming, so Mu Qing immediately told Lan Qi and Master Wuqing about it.
After the two of them learned about this, they were also a little confused. It's a strange thing, just ask the system. Lan Qi covered his mouth and asked the system very quietly: "System!" Have you detected anything strange nearby? Like an energy rift or something? ”
[An anomalous energy fluctuation has just been detected in the village, just in the westernmost part of the village. 】
After hearing the news, Lan Qi immediately pulled the two of them to the west of the village. The two of them were also stunned, what are they going to do? Did you find something?
But Mu Qing and Lan Qi have been searching together, and even Mu Qing doesn't know. How did he know?
When he arrived at his destination, Lan Qi was stunned. This is a huge natural cave, with a height of at least a dozen meters. The width of the interior is also very impressive.
It's a little bigger than the villages outside, inside the cave. There is a wooden door, and this wooden door is also strange. It's just here, is there a neurotic who took down the door and put it here?
At this time, the system said to Lan Qi: [This is the source of abnormal energy! 】
This is the door? What's so unusual about this? Is it like any door in Doraemon?
Mu Qing curiously pushed open the door, it was pitch black inside, and nothing could be seen. But he could vaguely see a glimmer of light, Lan Qi touched his chin: "Could this really be any door?" ”
Then, Lan Qi walked straight towards the door. Master Wuqing and Mu Qing were also stunned, and hurriedly grabbed the corner of his clothes and walked in.
"What are you doing? We haven't ...... yet. Find out...... This thing! At this time, everyone in front of them was stunned. I had clearly passed through the door just now, but now the three of us were facing away from the door. In front of me is the entrance of the cave, which is strange. I didn't turn around yet!
Master Wuqing looked around vigilantly and said to the two of them, "Don't worry about this door for now, let's go to the village to find out first." ”
Obviously, both of them were a little surprised, but Lan Qi looked calm. It was as if everything was as he thought, but he didn't say anything.
Just silently followed the two of them out, and just walked out of the cave door. Everyone saw a group of people walking towards the village with knives, and Lan Qi immediately pulled the two of them to hide.
Mu Qing was stunned, isn't there no one? Why did a group of people suddenly pop up? And it looks like it's a mountain bandit, and it's supposed to be here to rob.
As soon as she thought of this, Mu Qing planned to rush out directly to save people.
But he was pulled by Lan Qi: "Don't get excited! Let's take a look at it first, there must be something hidden here. Hold your horses! ”
Suddenly, a series of screams came into the ears of the three of them.
Master Wuqing couldn't bear it anymore, someone was being killed. How can you ignore it?
However, Lan Qi also desperately pulled the two to prevent them from going out: "Trust me! Even if they die today, they will be resurrected tomorrow. ”
Hearing Lan Qi's words, the two suddenly remembered the note that Mu Qing had found before.
Then he hurriedly asked him, "What the hell is going on?" You answer truthfully! ”
"It's actually quite simple! It's that door, when we walk through it. came to this opposite world, and the people of this world. They were all brought from there, and they experienced the same thing every day.
That's being killed, as you just saw. Those bandits did it, but the bandits can't do this! Lan Qi pointed to the wooden door and explained slowly to the two of them.
"You think! The person who made this door must be over here. The moment I walked out the door, I looked at this place, and it was not a big place. There is at most a hundred meters outside the village to the edge, if he is not near the village. That must be just outside the village! Although he felt that he had spoken very clearly, Mu Qing was already confused.
But fortunately, Master Wuqing understood it, but he couldn't understand it. What kind of person can make such a thing? The thousand-year-old demon can't make this kind of thing, so how strong is 'he'?
After about half an hour, the screaming outside was gone. Then Lan Qi and the others quietly walked out of the cave and came to the village. The three of them lay on the roof of the village and observed the situation inside.
I saw corpses and blood all over the ground. And those hurried footprints, which were similar to those seen when I entered the village. The only difference was that there were no corpses, and the bandits were gone. Just disappeared out of thin air, just when Master Wuqing wanted to go down.
A man in a gray cloak walked in from the village gate, holding a glass bottle in his hand. His hands seem to be a little dry, maybe an old man, right?
He walked to the middle of the village and took out a cabinet and put it there. Then stand on top of the cabinet and open the lid on the glass bottle.
With it, those who died. It turned into a blood-red smoke and flew into the bottle, even the blood on the ground.
In this way, he is the culprit.
The man said, "Hey, hey, hey! Good, good. Great, it's a little close. Two days to go, two more days. I've collected enough, and I'll be able to regain immense power. ”
Lan Qi looked at Master Wuqing and said, "Master! Mu Qing and I will follow later, and you can stay here. If I'm not mistaken, they should all be reborn late at night. ”
"Good!"
After a while, the man gathered the good things. He put the glass bottle in his sleeve and prepared to leave.
Mu Qing and Lan Qi also immediately followed behind him, lightly following ten meters behind him. The tree at the entrance of the village is still dense. Not dead yet, and not crows. There is no yin qi, but the blood qi is very strong.
After walking a hundred meters, the man disappeared in place. It was as if something was blocking the place, and the two of them immediately followed.
After the two walked over, they found that this was actually a dark place. Something like the feeling of a western vampire castle, the man walked ahead. Walk all the way to the position in front of you.
But halfway through, the man suddenly disappeared.
Lan Qi and Mu Qing immediately stepped forward to check the situation, but they were nowhere to be found for a long time. Was it discovered?
Probably not, right?
Since I can't find you, the system should work: "System! What about that guy just now? ”
[Unable to detect current information data!] 】
I thought the system could be a little useful, but I didn't want to be more garbage than myself. There is no way to explore the situation of this place, so there is no choice but to move forward cautiously.
At this time, Mu Qing said: "I can't feel any breath on that person, it doesn't look like a person." It's not like a youkai ......."
Hearing her say this, Lan Qi's first reaction was that he might be a ghost: "Is it a ghost?" ”
"That's not like that, there is yin energy in the ghost. But there was nothing on him! ”
Now is not the time to discuss this issue, it is better to find the man quickly.
Then the two of them walked forward boldly, and at this time, a terrifying scene came into their eyes.
There were many people in an iron pot in front of it, and there was a fire burning under the iron pot. It's cruel!
But that's all good, and then look at the others.
They were stripped of their clothes and tied to hot iron rods, and even those with severed hands and feet were hung from their heads with ropes.
Of course this is just the outside, look around the whole area.
The stones and dirt on the ground were not as dark as they were outside. There is no color that ordinary soil should have, and all I see in my eyes is blood red. It's like it's dyed red with blood, and it's like hell.
