Chapter 5 Domains
"You met the dean? Where is he! Where are you going?! ”
Huo Fatzi asked a little excitedly, looking around the dean's room with a flashlight, trying to find the figure that was extremely important to him.
The dean must be the leader of this mental hospital, and it is impossible for him not to know the whereabouts of the key, so as long as he catches him, everything will be done logically.
"Ran through the wall." Chen Xian maintained the movement of one hand in his pocket, raised his other hand, pointed to the direction in which the dean disappeared before, and his tone of voice was also a little helpless, "Actually, this area is all made by it to hit the wall, and we were fooled by it from the beginning." ”
As he spoke, Chen Xian took Huo Fatzi out of the office and came to the corridor before.
The landscape of this corridor has changed, or rather, this is what it really is.
The walls were full of traces of fire, and the walls that had been white and new before were now blackened by the fire, revealing an unpleasant and pungent scorching smell.
"I thought something wasn't right before...... I've also wondered if this could be a domain ...... But it all looks too real...... I've all been fooled by it......"
Chen Xian stood in the corner of the wall, gently wiping the blackened marks on the wall with his hands.
Over the years, he had seen many spirits, but most of the realms created by spirits had loopholes, and it was easy to get rid of them, and it didn't take much effort.
But the domain created by the dean was terrifyingly real, and he couldn't even notice it before he entered the office, and he couldn't see any loopholes to shape the domain so real..... Is the dean really that strong?
Chen Xian was thinking in his heart, feeling a little unreasonable.
Judging from the hand-to-hand combat, the dean is quite strong, which is the truth.
Before meeting the dean, the opponent with the greatest strength and the most agile movements in Chen Xian's eyes should be the corpse he met at the Ningchuan funeral home half a year ago.
In Taoist parlance, the monster that raised the corpse should be called the Nine Corpses.
"The people who died in vain are buried in the yin eye, the filth gathers on the spiritual platform and does not disperse, the three souls fly one of them, the fetal light and the essence are hidden in the seven spirits, and the corpses are haunted by the qi, and there are two souls and seven spirits, which are thought to be nine corpses."
The Nine Corpses is an extremely difficult monster to deal with, at least in Chen Xian's eyes, as long as its valve is not broken, this thing is similar to a perpetual motion machine, it does not know fatigue or pain, and can always maintain a state of fighting with all its might.
Moreover, the corpse qi on its body is also extremely corrosive, not to mention the flesh of a living person, even ordinary metal objects will be corroded by this corpse qi extremely quickly.
This is also one of the reasons why the Nine Corpses are the most difficult to deal with.
The spirit body that the dean became after his death was not weaker than the Nine Corpses in any way, but it did not have the extremely corrosive corpse qi of the Nine Corpses, but was better at creating "domains".
This corridor had been covered by the dean's domain before, and the area here was at least three or four hundred square meters, except for the office.
can expand the domain to three or four hundred squares, and can also control every detail, so that a senior stranger like Chen Xian can look away, which shows how exaggerated the dean's ability to build a domain is.
This kind of ability seems to be a chicken rib, and it is difficult to cause substantial damage to people, but in Chen Xian's eyes, this ability is the most headache for him.
He is not afraid of fighting head-on, but he is afraid of encountering this troublesome situation, and it will take a lot of work to find the main master.
"You had contact with the Dean before?"
Huo Fatzi wanted to find a breakthrough from Chen Xian, after all, after the dean died, he became a spirit, and the only person who knew it best was Chen Xian.
"Yes." Chen Xian nodded.
Huo Fatzi asked cautiously, "Did he say anything?" ”
"Something interesting."
Chen Xian grinned, and his slightly green face was a little curious that could not be concealed.
"The reason why the psychiatric hospital caught fire and why they died seems to be because of a mentally ill person."
Speaking of this, Chen Xian was also a little interested, how terrible is it to scare the dean like that?
Even if the dean is dead and has become a spirit, he will still be so scared..... Chen Xian was really curious, because he had never encountered such a situation before.
"I don't recommend continuing the survey work, and even if it does, I can't take you with me anymore."
When Chen Xian said this, his expression rarely became serious, and he also expressed helplessness about the current situation.
"This psychiatric hospital is much more troublesome than I thought, and you've seen the domain created by the dean before......"
At this point, Chen Xian sighed.
"If it separates me from you again, there is no way I can guarantee your safety during that time, and if you meet other spirits, the probability of death is very high."
Regarding Chen Xian's words, Huo Fatzi didn't dare to take it lightly, after all, everything he had seen before was evidence.
Not to mention the dean, the hundreds of spirits he had encountered before were enough to deter him.
Without Chen Xian's protection, how could the risk of entering the target search and exploration under such extreme circumstances not be high?
After thinking for a while, Huo Fatzi said coldly: "If I can, I want to continue to search the scene until I find the key." ”
"Are keys so important?" Chen Xian couldn't help but ask, his heart was also full of doubts, it was just a cultural relic, it was necessary to find it at this time?
"That key is a cultural relic that the superior named to be recovered, and Lao Zhou also sent a message to me before to tell me the seriousness of this incident, if you can't find the key in time, let alone me, even the other people involved in this case must be held accountable......"
"Your superiors are quite unreasonable." Chen Xian frowned.
"Being reasonable is not a superior." Huo Fatzi sighed.
After that, Huo Fatzi lit a cigarette with some heaviness, and the expression on his face was cloudy.
"Since everyone died in this fire, there is a good chance that the key is still in this mental hospital and has not been transferred by them."
Huo Fatzi said, with a trace of worry in his eyes: "But that key is very fragile, after all, it is an ancient cultural relic, and it can't be compared with our modern keys......
At this time, Huo Fatzi was silent, smoking a cigarette and not saying a word.
"That's how you want to find the key?" Chen Xian asked.
"Even if I don't want to, what my superiors want is equal to what I want." Huo Fatzi smiled bitterly, "Sometimes you can't ignore the above words, if you don't follow the rules, who knows what they will do with us, after all, the internal changes in the past few years are more complicated......."
Chen Xian glanced at Huo Fatzi deeply, and suddenly showed a smile.
"Okay, let's keep looking."
Hearing Chen Xian's words very crisply, Huo Fatzi couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
"Aren't you afraid that this mission will be risky?" Huo Fatzi couldn't help but ask, after thinking for a while, he decided to say what was in his heart, and his expression was very ashamed, "The nature of this case is more complicated, if you don't protect me well, cause me to die or encounter other accidents, you will also be held responsible, you can think about it." ”
As soon as the words fell, Huo Fatzi took a hard puff of cigarette, as if he had made some decision, and his eyes became complicated when he looked at Chen Xian.
"Otherwise, let's withdraw, and wait for follow-up support to come before conducting the search, after all, you are innocent, if I have an accident and implicate you...... Not worth it! ”
Hearing these words, Chen Xian just smiled and didn't say anything.
He lowered his head, pulled out his right hand, which had been in his trouser pocket, and looked at it quietly, making sure that the wound that had been pierced by the pen was gone, and then looked away.
"Uncle Huo, I won't help you for free, if I can..... Can you satisfy my curiosity? ”
Chen Xian touched the ribs that had been restored to their original state, and there was a sense of interest in his smile, taking this opportunity to sell favor to Huo Fatzi, he asked the question he had always wanted to get the answer to.
"That key shouldn't be as simple as an ancient artifact, right? I don't believe that I would let you come here for the sake of an ancient artifact. ”
Hearing this, Fat Huo couldn't help but turn his face and looked at Chen Xian with a wary expression.
"Why do you ask this?"
"Pure curiosity."
A smile appeared on Chen Xian's green face, he subconsciously touched his nose, glanced at Huo Fatzi a little embarrassed, and saw that he was a little embarrassed, so he took the initiative to say.
"I won't say it if it's inconvenient, I'm just curious, and I don't mean anything else."
Hearing this, Fat Huo took a puff of cigarette, looked at Chen Xian carefully for a while, and finally looked away again.
"That's a master key."
