Chapter 211: Life Binding
What is Matter?
Matter is the physical composition of all objects in the world, such as air and water, food and cotton, coal and oil, steel and copper, aluminum, and synthetic fibers, plastics, etc., these are all substances, and like non-living organisms, living organisms are also composed of matter.
Everything that exists around us is matter, and the human body itself is also matter, in addition to these physical objects, strictly speaking, light, electromagnetic fields, etc. are also considered substances, but they exist in another form, and there are thousands of types of substances, and the properties of substances are diverse, which are roughly divided into gaseous state substances, liquid state substances or solid state substances.
The human body or living body can be generally classified as a solid state substance, composed of a variety of elements, and it is tantamount to a fantasy to realize the rapid transformation of the material of a living body, and it is absolutely impossible, whether it is at the practical level or the theoretical level, then ......
What am I up against this time? The mantis is for sure, but this mantis thing actually has the ability to transform the material of the living body, and it feels somewhat similar to the blonde female mth in the original Krosso Town, no, no, the blonde female mth does not have the ability to convert matter at all, the female mantis just freezes people with ultra-low temperatures, and this mantis that has never appeared is really a material conversion, converting the living person's body into wax through contact, and quickly converting! At the beginning, the maid in the video was killed in seconds by touching the stinger, in this case, can I understand it as ...... That scrab must touch a living person if it wants to kill someone?
Damn, there are still too few clues, and guesswork alone is not enough to find the key points......
………
When the Marquis Mel told everyone everything he knew and all the experiences he had had recently had, was it surprising that the veterans did not show much panicked reaction, except for a few newcomers who were frightened when they heard it? No, this is a matter of course, they have experienced many supernatural missions, they have long had a strong tolerance for the strange things in the mission, in other words, in fact, what the veteran is afraid of is not how strange things are, but the unknown, the unknown who cannot get any clues.
So after listening to the narration of the Marquis of Mel, several veterans who obtained some of the value clues were not as afraid as before, and at the same time, many different speculations and analytical reasoning also emerged from their minds, and the Marquis of Mel also observed the people with the old butler after narrating the story, originally the two thought that these Orientals would be as frightened and panicked as they were at the beginning after hearing such a sensational and strange thing, but the two were stunned, except for some of these people in front of them, who showed panic and panic, Didn't think most people would look calm?
This really surprised the Marquis of Mel and the old butler, surprised that the other party was calm, and shocked by the reaction of everyone.
The scene was silent, after a long time, it seemed that a certain point was the first to come to mind, Cheng Ying took the first move, walked forward slowly, and walked to the wax figure on the right side that was almost the same as his own appearance under the gaze of several newcomers and marquises, and carefully measured it, during which he also reached out and stroked it a few times, until he could no longer see anything, this professional killer who had always been unfazed and extremely strong in psychological quality slowly looked back at Marquis Mel, and then said a sentence to him with a narrowed eye: "Your Excellency Marquis, You've said before, including your family and the guards and servants, that since these wax figures appeared, there have been people in the manor who have been turned into wax figures, right? Just like the man in the stable. ”
Listening to the other party's question, Marquis Mel, who didn't know what this handsome oriental guard meant, nodded subconsciously, saw the marquis nodding, and then, still without waiting for Marquis Mel and the old butler to figure out something, turned around, Cheng Ying continued to ask a question, or said that most of the veterans asked a question that everyone wanted to ask:
"In that case, then the Marquis......"
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the rows of wax figures around him and said, "It's been so long, why don't you dispose of these wax figures in the room?" I don't need to explain what it means to deal with it, right? ”
There is no mistake, the reason is very simple, and it can even be said that just after listening to the marquis's narration, whether it is Ye Wei, He Fei, Zhao Ping or Peng Hu, they have all thought about this question for the first time in their minds, and Cheng Ying's question is actually just for the rest of the seniors, but for some reason, He Fei obviously thought of this guess for the first time in his mind and originally wanted to be the first to ask, but thinking of the fact that Marquis Mel and the old butler Domus are both smart people, He Fei still gave up this idea until Cheng Ying said this question on behalf of everyone.
As soon as Cheng Ying said this, she never thought that Marquis Mel would shake his head with the old butler on the spot, Marquis Mel did not speak this time, and the old butler Domus, who was next to him, replied for the master with a bitter expression: "The matter of destroying the wax figure, in fact, the master did it as early as the first maid inexplicably became a wax figure, and the thing is like this......"
Through the narration of the old butler Domus, everyone suddenly realized that the maid who had been converted into a wax figure on the 3rd floor that the executors had seen in the video was indeed a person, not only was there a person, but in fact she was also an old senior maid who had lived in the manor for a long time, the maid's name was Dona, and she was usually responsible for the marquis's family's diet and cleaning the building together with several other maids, she was converted into a wax figure a few days ago an afternoon, and was finally found on the 3rd floor, which is also a coincidence, The Marquis of Mel and the old butler Domus were the first to discover the wax figures.
In the corridor on the 3rd floor, when it was found that there was an extra wax figure in the corridor that was exactly the same as the maid Dona, the master and servant did not know that the wax figure was transformed by a living person at first, in order not to cause panic, and the suspicion suddenly rose, although the two did not make a noise, they also looked for Dona in private, but unfortunately, in addition to the wax figure of Dona located in the corridor on the 3rd floor, almost the entire manor was searched and no trace of Dona was found, Marquis Mel, who is also a soldier, has a bloody and courageous spirit, and his mood gradually turns from panic to anger, and the strange things that have happened recently are all related to wax figures, Marquis Mel is extremely resentful of such things as wax figures, and in anger, the man rushed into the wax figure room, pulled out his waist saber and cut off the head of a guard wax figure......
But......
It was precisely this sword that not only made Marquis Mel regret himself, but then made him and the old butler both fall into fear, fear in the true sense!
Because, having just cut off the head of the wax figure of the guard with his sword, it was not long before the Marquis of Mel learned a terrible piece of news from the captain of the guard:
In the manor, there is a guard named Hardo who is inexplicably decapitated!!
There was no warning, no reason, that day, a group of manor guards under the leadership of the guard captain Ram were practicing arquebus shooting in an open space at the back of the manor, and the guard named Haldo also went to the room to eat according to the usual practice after training, but before arriving at the house, Halldo, who was walking at the end of the line, died inexplicably? Because Haldo was walking at the end of the team, Ram didn't notice it at first, until he entered the room, he found that there was one less person in the team, first left the room to look outside, but it was okay not to look for it, as soon as he left the door of the room, he saw Halldo lying in front of the door, he was dead, his body was in a different place, the red liquid was spread all over the ground, flowing wantonly, and the headless corpse appeared in front of everyone.
Hearing this news, Marquis Mel was dumbfounded, and for a moment he felt that his thinking was a little insufficient, so he was stunned on the spot.
Seeing that the master was motionless and sluggish, in order to cover up the matter, the old butler could only come forward on behalf of the master to use the manor to infiltrate the assassins as an excuse to perfunctory others, and reminded the guards to strengthen vigilance in the near future, of course, not to mention the old butler's explanation to avoid the spread of panic, as time passed, after the Marquis Mel woke up, a sense of death fear swept through every corner of his body!
Fear!
Except fear or fear, the Marquis of Mel's heart at that time was full of fear, and there was nothing else that could compare with it, who would have thought that and who would have thought of it? The wax figure in front of him not only looks the same as the people in the manor, but even everyone's lives are tied to these wax figures? If not, what about the guard called Halldo? Why did he just cut off the head of the wax statue of Hardo, and the Hardo himself in the manor was so inexplicably in a different place!?
Things are not so simple, if the lives of the living are bound to the wax figures, and the living people who are destroyed by the wax figures will also die, then ...... When Marquis Mel, who was in the wax room, came back to his senses, a new discovery once again plunged his already terrified man into despair.
Because......
In the wax figure room, the wax figure of the guard whose head was cut off by him not long ago was restored to its original state at some point! The original severed head is also intact and connected to the body, everything is the same as before, except that, although it is restored, now the Marquis of Mel is no longer a wax figure, but a corpse! A dead corpse that at first glance looks similar to the wax figures around it, but it is clearly human-touchable!!
Yes, the wax figure of the guard Haldo that was originally displayed in the wax figure room is gone, and it is replaced by the real corpse of Haldo, although the corpse is intact and looks no different from a living person, but the body with cold skin without a pulse, no breath and no heartbeat reminds the Marquis of Mel all the time that the person in front of him is dead, just a corpse, a corpse that is obviously dead but can stand like a wax figure, as for the original wax figure of Haldo in the wax room, it is gone.
In fact, the wax figure of Hardo did not disappear, and soon, Marquis Mel learned the location of the wax figure from the old butler, and the wax figure that was inexplicably replaced with Halldo's body now appeared in the coffin that originally presented Halldo's body!
Maybe it was because the fear was too great or it was tortured to the extreme by a series of incomprehensible strange things, the extreme must be reversed, and the extreme torture was exchanged for quick awakening, after confirming that the wax figure in front of him had become a real corpse, out of some thought, in silence, Marquis Mel slowly turned around, looked over the corpse in front of him that was very similar to the wax figures around him, and then slowly looked at one of the wax figures of a maid in the second row, and then ......
He saw the maid Donna, who had been missing for a long time, and saw the maid's corpse!
Like Hardo, the long-missing Dona is standing motionless among the many wax figures at the moment, but Dona is no longer a wax figure, but a solidified corpse that is difficult to see how much difference it is from the surrounding wax figures without looking closely.
After confirming this, Marquis Mel looked back at the wax figure outside the door, the wax figure of Dona that he had found with the old butler Domus not long ago, he thought that Dona was missing, and it was only then that Marquis Mel finally understood that it turned out that Donna was dead like Hardo, and the body was inexplicably replaced with the wax figure in the wax room.
If we describe this matter more simply, it can be understood as:
The disappearance of the living person is equivalent to death, and after death, the body will be replaced with the wax figure originally displayed in the wax room, and the wax figure will appear in the place where the living person died, as for the dead living person, no matter how they died, the corpse will eventually appear in the wax room in an intact manner, and then replace the wax figure displayed in the wax room on the 3rd floor!
This...... What does that mean?
This means that the wax figure cannot be damaged! Never be damaged!
Whoever destroys the wax figure will die!!
