Chapter 60: Corpse Roar
The sound of the mechanism suddenly came from the end of the corridor, Yao Qianwen and I rushed quickly, only to find that a staircase extending downward appeared at the end of the corridor, and it was obviously Lan Lan who triggered this thing, and there was a faint light under the stairs, and the special smell that irritated my nose became extremely strong here.
Something suddenly occurred to me, this smell......
The smell is a bit like what I first smelled in the western-style building on the outskirts of Ben Thanh.
That's right!
I quickly walked down the stairs, and in front of me was a space of about 200 square meters, with a stone table in the middle, the size of a billiard table, with potholes on it, and a model of mountains, rivers, houses, etc., which seemed to be a map.
But this thing didn't attract my attention at the moment, and I was more concerned about the few "cylinders" placed around. What the hell that thing is, I don't know, it's just a cylindrical container that looks like a vat. The top and bottom of this thing should have been sealed, but now three of them, split in two from the middle, were scattered with white bones all over the ground, among which there were human bones, animal bones, and shriveled insect corpses.
Seeing these things, my guess is that this round container was once sealed with a person, a living and a dead person, but there were also various poisonous insects sealed with it.
There is still a complete cylindrical container, standing due north.
"What are these things?" Although there was some speculation, I still asked Yao Qianwen.
Only then did I notice that the girl's face began to become inexplicably ugly again.
Especially for those cylindrical containers, she walked around, and didn't want to get close at all, when I asked, her body suddenly shuddered, and her eyes were very empty when she looked at me, but she quickly returned to her normal state, shook her head at me and said, "No, I don't know...... But just look at it, before this, there should be a living person or something, right? ”
"Then you say, after opening it, is the person who was stuffed in it still alive?" I asked again.
"How do I know it's time to die?"
"Then these people have a grudge against Du Youlan? Can you torture them like this? ”
Yao Qianwen shook her head stiffly: "I don't know ......"
"You shouldn't have been in this before, have you?" It occurred to me that this question.
She shook her head harder, "How is it possible, then how can I live...... but halfway through the sentence, she couldn't control her blank eyes, maybe even she wasn't sure if she had been here or not.
"There's another one over there, I'll take a look." I didn't continue to ask, Yao Qianwen is not harmful to me now, what she has experienced, it is her business, I am not too curious, and I don't want to expose people's scars.
But as I walked towards the cylindrical container, I suddenly stepped on something under my feet.
There was a sound of glass rubbing when the thing was stepped on.
I took a step back and picked up what I was stepping on, and saw that it was a dial that I seemed to have seen somewhere......
"What?"
Yao Qianwen also found out, and was about to take the dial from my hand, but I suddenly remembered where I had seen it.
It's Cheng Haidong! I should have seen this watch on Cheng Haidong's wrist!
My heart beat a little faster, I thought that I seemed to have forgotten something, I pinched the dial in the palm of my hand, and asked Yao Qianwen: "I first encountered a hijacking ship before, then fled all the way, and then shuttled through the ghost market, I never had a chance, and I forgot to ask you, the person with me, called Cheng Haidong, where did he go?" If I remember correctly, he should go with you to find Du Youlan to detoxify, right? ”
Yao Qianwen's hand retracted, looked at my clenched fist, and pointed at my palm: "This ...... It's not that guy's watch, is it? ”
"It's his."
"Hey, hey, don't think about it! I remember I told you, didn't you? ”
"I didn't say it, so hurry up."
"He's, he's fine, it's okay...... We detoxified together, Sister Lan was not interested in him at all, and let him go after detoxification. Really, I saw it with my own eyes. ”
Yao Qianwen doesn't seem to be lying, and there is no need to lie.
And the Du Youlan she described seems to really have no need to leave Cheng Haidong, let alone make an illusion of letting Cheng Haidong go.
So why is there a table of Cheng Haidong here?
"Detoxify here, huh? I said I couldn't remember anything, maybe I was detoxified here...... The detoxification process was complicated, and I really lost a little bit of memory halfway through. Speaking of this, Yao Qianwen's gaze suddenly turned to the cylindrical metal container and pointed to the thing, "Don't you think that your friend is locked up here?" ”
"My gut tells me that what is locked up in this really seems to have something to do with me. But not Cheng Haidong, I don't know. ”
"You just put gold on your face, Cheng Haidong...... Du Youlan is not picking up rags, why should he be imprisoned? ”
"I've got to open it up and see what's in there."
I put away the dial and walked to the metal container, instinctively ready to grope for it, but before my hand could touch it, I felt a chill to my bones penetrate through the metal container and into my palm.
I immediately retracted my hand.
Not only because of the chill, but I also realized that the smell of déjà vu also came from this container.
"Brother Wei Heng, do you want to open it?" Lan Lan's voice, at this time, suddenly came into my ears.
Looking back, she had climbed onto the map in the middle, her fingers on some protruding parts of the map, pressing gently, and as she pressed, the structure of the map began to change regularly.
"Do you have a way to open it?"
"Yes, this Lan Lan remembers." She looked at me confidently.
"Lan Lan, can you tell my brother what is in this container? Yes, people? ”
Lan Lan nodded lightly, "Well, yes, it's human." ”
"Who?"
Lan Lan shook her head: "I don't know, Lan Lan only remembers the people locked up here, who look black and thin, don't speak or move, just like ...... Like dead, hehe! ”
Black black skinny?
Like dead?
So what is it?
"Who got it?" I continued to ask.
Lan Lan thought for a while and pointed to her nose: "It seems that Lan Lan got it herself, and it doesn't seem to be ......"
"What are you going to do?"
She shrugged her shoulders and shook her head, "I don't remember, it seems to have something to do with human Gu?" What Lan Lan remembers most clearly in her mind now is only human Gu. Just as she said this, Lan Lan suddenly frowned, turned over and jumped off the table, her eyes staring at the map, and it took a long time to squeeze out a sentence from her mouth: "Oops!" There are invaders! ”
Around the map, rows of dark red reptiles appeared, crawling slowly towards the center of the map.
I suddenly noticed that the structure of the map looked familiar, and it seemed to be ......
"A map of the village?" Yao Qianwen said the answer in my heart.
It is indeed a village, down to the point where every house is located, and it corresponds exactly to when it first arrived. And the location in the center of this map is directly opposite Du Youlan's residence. Now those dark red bugs are moving closer to the center.
"Gotta fight back." Lan Lan smiled and clicked on a house on the map, the house was torn apart, and there was a milky white flesh worm in the house, which crawled forward slowly, blocking the only way to Du Youlan's residence. As if this one flesh worm was not enough, Lan Lan began to click wildly on the house, and the house models she touched were all rotten, and each model contained one to three flesh worms.
They begin to approach the invading bloodworms, and soon, they are in a clump.
But that flesh worm didn't seem to be the opponent of those red worms, Lan Lan's brows furrowed more and more, "Oops, lack of ability, maybe you have to lose......"
Her hand ended up on where we were, the house of Du Youlan on the map.
With the press of her fingers, the basement began to vibrate from weak to strong......
"Lan Lan, what are you doing?"
"I can't beat it, but Lan Lan wants to win."
"Hit what?"
"Intruder!"
"What's that for?" I'm more concerned about this, I'm thinking, milky white flesh worms have been drilled into those house models before, so now Lan Lan is in the house we are in, what will appear here?
Before Lan Lan could answer my question, there was a sudden violent crashing sound from the cylindrical metal container!
The sound comes from there, and the things in there are alive!
"Oh my God!" Yao Qianwen flashed behind me in fright, "It, it's not going to come out, is it??" ”
"I don't know......" I stared at the metal container, but I was curious, what would be in there?
Bang!
Bang bang!!
The sound of impact became more and more intense, and the metal walls had begun to deform, and traces of sharp claws appeared one by one.
I turned my head to look at the broken container on the ground, the walls were metal, I don't know exactly what the material was, but it was three to five centimeters thick, and it was hard to imagine how the flesh and blood could tear it apart.
Rumble!!
There was an extremely violent sound of impact from inside the container, cracks appeared in the walls of the vessel, very deep, and the light entered it, and I vaguely saw a crimson shiny thing, like a blood-colored eye!
"Woohoo......!"
A low roar came out, accompanied by a rich smell.
I'm even more sure that the smell is what I smelled in the western-style building before.
The monster's claws pierced through the wall of the monster, it was a black, withered human hand! Its strength was incomparably great, both hands pierced through the walls of the vessel at the same time, tearing hard to the sides, the cracks in the container became bigger and bigger, the single bloody eyes became a pair, and I saw the huge mouth with bloody saliva open! I'm beginning to wonder if this thing can tell the difference between friend and foe, and if the moment it breaks open the container and appears, it will devour me!
"Ahh
With an earth-shattering roar, the container was instantly split in two by a huge force!
Thin, swarthy, he appeared before my eyes.
At that moment, my memory flashed back......
But there are only flashbacks of the picture.
Because of my shock, I lost the ability to think for a moment, and when everything recovered, I finally understood why I kept smelling that familiar smell.
This guy is the dried corpse.
The fourteenth corpse in the basement of a western-style building on the outskirts of Ben Thanh!
