Chapter 59: Gu and Puppet

"Do you smell it, that smell, it's complicated." Pull the door panel to the maximum, and I'm ready to go down.

But when she looked up, she found that Yao Qianwen's expression was a little strange.

"What's wrong with you?" I asked.

"Huh? Not...... The taste is not very good. She shook her head.

From Yao Qianwen's eyes, I saw the content, she seemed to be facing something familiar, but it was just déjà vu, and she may not be sure whether she really "knows" with that thing.

"You've been here?"

"I don't remember......" Yao Qianwen continued to shake her head, but there was a deep doubt in her expression. So she added, "At least in my impression, I shouldn't have been here." ”

"Let's go down and see what's in there."

"Hmmm......"

Yao Qianwen and Lan Lan went down one step ahead of me, not to use them as shields or to explore the way for me, I would not use women and children to save my life.

The last one went down to seal the door.

Pull down the tin door first, and then close the sliding door.

"Aren't you afraid of encountering any danger and making it inconvenient to leave?" Yao Qianwen asked me.

"I'm afraid, but maybe something more dangerous will appear up there."

"I don't understand what you mean." Yao Qianwen looked at me suspiciously.

I didn't explain too much, I was also guessing, the bet was right, it seems that I am a great person, and the most wrong is a superfluous move.

Underneath the door is a small boxy space, like an imperfect elevator.

In fact, this thing seems to be an elevator, we are groping in this small space, Lan Lan doesn't know what he touched, and the small space suddenly fell! It was extremely fast, and then hit the ground hard.

The impact was so strong that when we got up, we still felt like our minds were spinning.

Click!

Directly opposite us, a door opened, corresponding to a dark tunnel.

I used to buy two flashlights near the bazaar, which I've been using a lot lately, and now they're coming in handy. Walking along the tunnel, we found that there were lamps on both sides of the wall, but it seemed that they had not been used for a long time, and they were covered with a thick layer of dust.

However, the ground under his feet is clean, indicating that someone often comes down, but that person is not used to turning on the light.

So why install these lamps?

My guess is that perhaps the people who use it regularly are not the same people who built it in the first place.

Walking deeper into the corridor, those strange smells began to be more layered, and doors began to appear on both sides of the corridor, most of them locked, and occasionally opened. Looking through the crack in the door that occasionally opens, there are still bottles and cans inside. The difference is that the bottles and cans here obviously taste greater than the ones above.

Moving on, something is different.

In one of the rooms, although the door was locked, there was an empty space the size of a man's hand, just like the previous trap door. I pressed Lan Lan's little hand up, and the door opened.

The moment I opened the door, I was shocked, there were people in this room!

Yao Qianwen also quickly covered her mouth, and we were stunned at the door for a long time before realizing that the illusory figure in this room was not a real person.

The light of the flashlight shone carefully into every corner of the room, and found severed limbs, bones, and strange potions, some equipment that looked like modern medical equipment, and some black bones and venom that looked mysterious and evil, with the wind of ancient witchcraft......

Three of them are suspended upside down from the ceiling, their joints held in place by special silk threads, like two assembled puppets.

Their bodies are crudely stitched together and air-dried, making them appear to be pieced together from the corpses of real people.

"It's all ...... What is it? I couldn't help but look down at the little girl next to me, but she was at a loss. But this dazed may only be for a moment, I have already vaguely seen a similar excitement in Lan Lan's eyes.

"It's probably called a corpse puppet, Du Youlan occasionally mentions this. In the underwater cave of the Holy River before, the Southeast Asian woman also said it...... I guess, I'm a little girl, I don't know that much. ”

"I didn't say you know, don't be that nervous." I withdrew my gaze from Yao Qianwen. Returning to the upside-down corpse puppet, I also thought of what the Southeast Asian witch master said when she was in the underwater cave, and the thing that seemed to hurt her monster was the corpse puppet.

So this thing, can it really be moved?

I subconsciously stretched out my hand, but before I could touch it, I relented and took it back.

I'm afraid that if you touch them once, they'll really open their eyes the next moment.

"Actually, it's nothing, half-finished, can't be moved."

Lan Lan's voice suddenly came from the corner of this room.

Such a sentence, for me and Yao Qianwen at this moment, it seems to be the roar of a demon from hell, I didn't move at that time, standing in place, I didn't know how to answer for a long time, my eyes followed the direction of the voice, Lan Lan ran to the corner at some point, and at the moment she was grabbing two half-dried arms, looking and smelling.

"Mom, she's ...... Did she remember? It's over......" Yao Qianwen trembled and grabbed my arm, her nails were about to pierce into the flesh.

"If you don't want to be infected again, scratch my skin as much as possible."

She immediately let go, "You're not afraid! ”

"I'm afraid, but isn't it okay?" I walked step by step to Lan Lan in the corner, squatted down, and asked in a slow voice: "How do you know, it is a semi-finished product, what did you think of?" ”

Lan Lan looked up, fortunately, the moment she made eye contact with me, her eyes still looked innocent, and she shook her head: "I didn't expect anything, but it was a half-finished product." ”

"Why?"

"For ...... For...... How Lan Lan knows, just look at it. ”

She looked at me strangely, not weird, just like she was looking at a strange uncle.

I gradually discovered the problem, Lan Lan didn't seem to have recovered a lot of memory, and the reason why she said what she just said was instinctive. It's like when we eat raw rice, we don't need to explain why it's raw, but we can still be sure that the rice doesn't taste good.

"Na Lanlan, do you have any new ideas for expelling the insect poison from your brother's body?"

But I still want to see if the answer to this question will change somewhat.

Lan Lan began to pull a small box under the cabinet in the corner, shaking her head absentmindedly, "I don't have any idea, I don't know what my brother wants to ask...... Help, Brother Wei Heng, there's something interesting down here! ”

I took a handle and helped Lan Lan pull out the wooden box under the cabinet.

In the wooden box, there were several bottles and cans, but this time there was no movement in them, and it seemed that they were not filled with living things. Lan Lan opened one of them, and it was full of pale green powder.

"What is this?" I asked.

Lan Lan smiled, just like any ordinary child who got her favorite toy, she took the vial, went to the half-finished corpse puppet, grabbed some powder with her fingertips, and then flicked it three times on the corpse's hand, so that the pale green powder was evenly sprinkled on the corpse's hand.

At first, I didn't see any effect.

But after about a dozen seconds, maybe twenty seconds, suddenly! That hand clenched into a fist!!

The next moment it began to pull out, scratching, as if resurrected!

My heart was beating fast, with fear, curiosity, and even yearning.

Then, Lan Lan opened another bottle of powder, this time the powder was red, she repeated the previous action, this time the corpse's hand immediately lost its vitality, not only lost its vitality, but even began to melt gradually, the flesh turned into slurry, and the white bones fell off.

"Haha, it's fun!"

Lan Lan smiled happily, like a petite demon.

"And the last bottle, hehe!" Lan Lan excitedly opened the last bottle, this time it was black powder, sprinkled on the fallen white bones, and after a while, the delicate flesh flowers surged on the white bones, growing......

Is this witchcraft?

I don't know what it is.

At this time, Lan Lan suddenly said something that made me concentrate 100%, "Brother Wei Heng, I seem to have remembered a little!" ”

"You remember...... Rise...... What's up?? "Yao Qianwen is more concerned about this issue than I am, but she is pure nervousness and fear.

"I remembered, in this room, what these potions do."

Lan Lan smiled happily and handed me the three vials: "Put them away, brother." ”

"What?" I'm concerned about this issue as well.

She said two words, human Gu.

Lan Lan recalled that this was the content that she had compiled from some ancient books about witchcraft and evil spells that she had read, and that people were refined into Gu. She hasn't really succeeded yet, but the ultimate effect she wants to achieve is that after becoming a Gu, the human Gu will not die or die.

No matter how much damage the body is to, it can heal quickly.

"Aren't you?" I asked.

"Lan Lan? Lan Lan's that isn't, Lan Lan's ...... It's different from the human Gu that Lan Lan said. ”

I pointed to myself, "So am I?" ”

"Isn't my brother poisoned? Probably not. ”

"Then my poisoning symptoms are very similar to the human Gu you mentioned. My poison can help you study that so-called human Gu, right? ”

"It seems to be, it's a little related, but I don't remember it very well."

"And how do you need to remember?" I asked.

Lan Lan shook her head blankly: "I don't know, maybe take a look?" ”

From the initial fear, to the anticipation, excitement, and curiosity at the moment, I seemed to have opened the door of her soul, but I didn't know if there would be a monster in it that would be enough to swallow me alive.

Lan Lan ran out of the room excitedly and ran towards the depths of the corridor.

Yao Qianwen's legs trembled when she walked, and she needed to pull my sleeve all the time, and her voice was extremely impatient, even with a little crying: "Are we playing with fire and self-immolation, can you control it?" Uncle? Don't want her to think of more and more things, and suddenly sprinkle a little dust on us...... I haven't had enough of it, I don't want to die! ”

"Be quiet, I don't want to die. But you put it down, she doesn't have that ability. Even if I had the ability, I didn't plan to do that. ”

"How do you know??"

"Intuition."

"Big brother, you're too foolish to talk like this!"

I'd like to explain more, but it's really just a gut feeling. However, recently, I really believe this, not to fool Yao Qianwen, nor to fool myself. But since I was completed the 14-person ceremony, my weird instincts and accuracy have become stronger and stronger over time.

And at this moment, at the end of the corridor where Lan Lan disappeared, there was a sudden sound of gear rubbing, and she seemed to activate some kind of mechanism.
