Chapter 42: The Abandoned Coffin Shop
Getting back to the point, since I talked about the conspiracy of the people behind the scenes, I immediately contacted the evil runes engraved on the bell, and I couldn't help but have a strange thought in my heart.
"Doctor, Roy, do you remember what I told you about the Heavenly Witch Cult?"
The doctor frowned and looked at me: "Heavenly Witch Sect, is the cult you mentioned that appeared in Fengyang Town and your hometown?" Why, do you suspect that this has something to do with them? β
Although Sister Bailing told me not to tell anyone else what happened in Yeling, the doctor and I are friends of life and death, and my relationship with him is better than that with the Taoist priest, and I need the doctor's help to analyze the places that I missed in the two things, so I told the doctor all these things.
As for Luo Yi's words, I also told her what happened in Fengyang, and when I was talking about Bagan, I also told her the secret of the Heavenly Witch Sect that the third uncle told me as a story, so she also knew.
However, no matter how you look at what is happening in the ancient town, it can't be related to the Heavenly Witch Sect, so they all look at me suspiciously.
I wasn't in the mood to sell anything to them, so I took the bell from Luo Yi's hand, pointed to the evil rune on it and said: "This kind of rune is called the evil spell, listen to a friend who understands this, the history of this kind of spell is earlier than the origin of the witch road, no one can interpret it, but wherever this kind of spell appears, it is where the terrible evil creatures are suppressed." β
"I just saw this kind of incantation not long ago, after the incident in Fengyang. I have told you about Fengyang, at that time, in that underground ruins, the Taoist priest and I died nine times, and finally sealed that terrible abyss. And shortly after that incident, I had another very terrible encounter, and it was also a terrible place. β
When I said this, Luo Yi's eyes were full of little stars, and she was very excited, and I had a headache, and I knew what she wanted to do, so I said to her: "I'll talk to you about this later, but now let's get down to business." β
As I spoke, I ignored her complaining eyes and continued: "In the place after that, I discovered the abyss again, and I also saw the relief of the Three-Eyed Man, that is to say, the underground ruins of Fengyang and the dangerous place I came to later have traces left by the Three-Eyed Man, and they are also sealed with the Abyss. And above the abyss, I saw countless black iron chains engraved with this evil spell, which were used to seal the abyss. β
"The Three-Eyed Man and the Abyss, there has always been an indescribable connection between the two, I suspect that the evil suppression spell that appeared later is also inseparable from the Three-Eyed Man and the abyss, and it is even possible that there is also this kind of evil suppression spell on the mysterious sealing stone that sealed the abyss under Fengyang, but the situation was urgent at the time, and I didn't find it."
"Whether it is Fengyang, or the dangerous place I experienced later, there are people from the Heavenly Witch Sect, that is to say, every time the abyss, underground ruins, and evil suppression spells appear, they must have something to do with the Heavenly Witch Sect. And this bell also appeared on the evil spell, and the person who sold the bell also said that the bell came from the town of the underworld, which made me have to suspect that there may be an abyss and traces of the Three-Eyed Man in the ancient town, according to previous experience, where there is an abyss, how can the Heavenly Witch Sect not get involved, maybe, the person behind the doctor's assumption is the Heavenly Witch Sect. β
Such speculation is actually very far-fetched, but after returning from her hometown, what happened in Lin Qiaoer's family also appeared in the shadow of the Heavenly Witch Sect, and Lin Qiaoer's long-dead father actually had something to do with the Heavenly Witch Sect. Maybe it's nervousness, maybe there's something strange in it, I heard the third uncle say that the Heavenly Witch Sect has always been very low-key, but in the last few incidents related to me, this mysterious cult organization is unusual, high-profile, and completely reckless, I have a feeling that their actions these times should be aimed at the abyss and the Three-Eyed Terran.
After listening to my analysis, the doctor nodded, glanced at the bell in my hand, and then said: "We don't have any other clues related to the people behind the scenes except for the bells, let's assume that your guess is true, then we can deduce from this that the people behind the scenes, that is, the intention of the Heavenly Witch Sect to do all this." β
"The Heavenly Witch Sect revealed the information of the ancient town to the company along with another factor that is very attractive to the company's top management, prompting the company to continue to send people to the ancient town, and we know that there is only one person who escaped alive after entering the ancient town, and finally died, so can we assume that the Heavenly Witch Sect already knew that no one could get out alive after entering the ancient town?"
I didn't understand the significance of the doctor's assumption, so I asked him, "Since they know that no one will get out alive when they enter the town, what is the point of them secretly pushing the company to send people inside?" Are they just trying to kill a few more people? β
The doctor shook his head: "Naturally not!" β
"You also said that you know that the person who is sent in will die, and you have to keep sending it inside, but the female photographer who escaped at the beginning warned the people who entered the town that they must not let people die in the ancient town. When the purpose of the conspirators is contrary to the subjective judgment of the people who have experienced reality, it is not difficult to guess the secret, the purpose of the Heavenly Witch Sect to send people to the ancient town may be to let more people die in the town, what do you think this behavior looks like? β
The doctor's words reminded me, and something seemed to flash through my mind, but I couldn't grasp it, and I couldn't help but be a little impatient. The doctor patted me and gave me another hint: "How did the rakshasa come out?" β
My head buzzed instantly, and I exclaimed, "You mean, sacrifice? Human sacrifice? β
The doctor nodded, and said with a solemn expression: "I have listened to your narration and found that the Heavenly Witch Sect has a very bloody feature, that is, the use of human sacrifices, whether it is your own experience or your grandfather's experience back then, you have witnessed this cult killing people and sacrifices to invite the so-called gods. They know that there is only a dead end for sending people into the ancient town, or they keep luring people to the ancient town, what is the difference between this kind of murder without seeing blood and the priesthood of the living? β
I only felt a tingling of my scalp, and a cold chill instantly rushed from the soles of my feet to the Tianling Gai, and my whole body was uncontrollable.
"Well, this is fucking terrifying! What is the purpose of doing this? Is it also to release some evil god? "I really can't understand this chilling move, what are they trying to do?
"Doctrine!" The doctor looked at me, then at Loy, and suddenly showed an incomprehensible smile.
I was stunned, "Doctrine, what doctrine?" β
"Have you forgotten what your third uncle said, the predecessor of the Heavenly Witch Sect, that is, the Nine Lotus God Sect, their doctrine didn't release the supreme god of the Black Witch to achieve the goal of saving the world?"
"That's right!" I patted my head and suddenly realized, but the doctor shook his head at this moment: "No! β
I was puzzled, and looked at him, only to see that he suddenly looked up at the cloudy sky and muttered, "I'm afraid it's not that simple!" β
Just said something inexplicably, he stopped talking, and I wanted to continue to ask, but he suddenly interrupted my words and said: "It's useless to think about those things now, no matter how you think about it, it's just our guess, the most important thing now is to find the so-called Yin and Yang Jiaotai Eye, and the origin of the copper bell must also be investigated." If the people behind the scenes are really coming to the abyss, then there must be that terrible abyss in the ancient town, the spell on the copper bell is to seal the abyss, and the source of the copper bell must be the place where the abyss is located, if I guess correctly, the reason why the ancient town has become like this is probably affected by the abyss. β
At this time, Luo Yi, who had been unable to interject, pursed his lips unhappily and muttered: "Check the bell, you think I don't want to check, now that the townspeople have all become like this, how can I find out?" β
Hearing this, I suddenly had an idea, clapped my hands and smiled: "Not necessarily! Hehe, aren't there still two normal people in the town of Suo? We can go find the old man in the coffin shop! β
β¦β¦
Since the path we ran away just now was the remote path that the old man had taken us on, we were not far from the coffin shop, and after ten minutes, we had entered the alley and came to the coffin shop.
However, the scene that unfolds before us at this moment makes us all stunned.
I remember very clearly, at that time, we followed the old man to stop here, the coffin shop did not occupy a large area, the faΓ§ade was only about six or seven meters, and the shop was only one floor. On the left and right sides are three-story wooden buildings, very high, and the coffin shop is sandwiched between the two tall wooden buildings, and the characteristics are very obvious. However, at this moment, the two three-story wooden buildings in front of us are still the same, but the coffin shop in the middle is gone......
No, it's not that the coffin shop disappeared out of thin air, to be precise, the coffin shop collapsed, scattered, and became a ruin.
If it is simply collapsed, we can accept it, but now we see a dilapidated ruin, and the dilapidated state after the collapse of the wooden building is not what the newly collapsed wooden house should be. The floor rubble, beams, columns, rafters, and some furniture that can still be identified in the ruins are all in a state of long-term corrosion, and they are even covered with moss, and they turn into black slag at the slightest touch of the hand.
However, we had just been here the day before yesterday, and we were sitting in our chairs talking to the old man, and it had only been two days, how could a good room be like this?
The three of them froze in front of the ruins, their eyes were full of incredulity, this fucking weird, isn't that the old man in the coffin shop human?
