Chapter 60: A Thousand Coffins

I finally left the inn and walked out for a long distance with my head down, until the feeling of being watched was completely gone, and I stopped.

Looking back at the inn, which had been completely shrouded in night, I couldn't help but shudder, and a sense of fear rose in my heart for no reason, knowing that I should have escaped a catastrophe, I didn't dare to stop again, and continued to walk along the red line to the depths of the ruins of the ancient town.

I escaped from the inn, but I still don't know what happened inside. The ancient town is located in southern Shonan, and built near the water, the climate here is naturally quite humid, and the people who die in such a humid place should soon be corrupted, even if there are bones left, what is left should be a skeleton, but the corpse I found in the inn, except for the zombie, all the others have become dry corpses, which is really a bit strange.

And the thing that deliberately guided me into that room just now to find the remains of three people, I don't think it was Lin Yuanzhang's ghost, the Taoist priest told me that the so-called ghost is actually a very complex thing, and it is not easy to produce, especially for cultivators, it is impossible to produce ghosts after death, unless it is a side door and left road.

The most incomprehensible thing for me is this mirror world, the so-called mirror and parallel are just my guesses, whether it is the truth is still inconclusive, and up to now, all the experiences are so real, and the possibility of hallucination is not very large. If it is really a mirror world, why did all the expeditions sent by the company appear in this place, and we can't find the slightest trace of them in the real world we are in?

This can't help but make me think very terriblely, if there really is a mirror world, then which side is the mirror image and which side is the reality?

With this creepy question, I cautiously followed the red rope all the way through most of the ruins of the ancient town, during which I never encountered a building that had survived the fire like the inn and was still well preserved, until I reached the end of the red rope, a very magnificent building appeared in front of me, and I froze.

It is a circular tulou that covers an area larger than a football field, with four floors and more than 20 meters high, although there are also traces of being burned by the fire, but because the foundation wall of the tulou is made of clay mixed with mud and sand and gravel, it is not afraid of fire, and the place where the wood is used is very high, so the damage is not very serious, and the tulou as a whole still looks very grand.

What made me stunned was not the tulou, but the red rope that disappeared out of thin air, that was my last straw, without it, I really couldn't go back.

After being stunned for a moment, I immediately went crazy, and rushed to the place where the red rope disappeared in front of the tulou, and looked carefully, and the red rope had indeed disappeared.

Strictly speaking, the red rope is not completely gone, the end that binds me is still in my hand, and the other end is still there, tightly taut, but the rope is missing in front of the tulou.

It was so weird that I felt the red string and moved it to the place where it disappeared, and I could still touch the red string a little before the red string disappeared, but when my finger crossed the point where it disappeared, the touch of the red string disappeared immediately.

My heart suddenly cooled half, I couldn't cope with such a strange situation, the other part of the red rope literally disappeared into thin air, and there was no hidden passage or wormhole or anything like that in the air.

Lost the only hope, I didn't know what to do all of a sudden, paralyzed on the ground in front of the tulou, and scolded the eighteen generations of the ancestors of the old man in my heart.

Just when I was at a loss, a figure suddenly appeared not far away, staggering towards me, startling me. However, when the man walked in, I was suddenly relieved, it was a stiff and wooden-looking fellow, I thought it was one of the corpses I had brought from the stone bridge.

I wondered, why are these guys here?

The target of the wooden figure was not me, it turned around a dozen meters away from me, and continued to walk towards the tulou, and I found that the gate of the tulou was next to me.

Before I could figure it out, immediately after the figure of Mu Ne, a series of figures appeared in the ruins on all sides of the tulou, and they were all those who had turned from corpses to people.

I watched with wide eyes as all these sluggish figures crowded towards the tulou, and I wondered more and more, could there be any other mysteries in the tulou? Anyway, now that the red rope is useless, instead of sitting still, it is better to follow up and take a look. Having made up my mind, I immediately pretended to be sluggish and squeezed towards the gate of the tulou with the people who passed me.

I heard Wang Xi say this earthen building before, in fact, if you want to trace it, it is here that we began to encounter changes in the ancient town. There is a square in this tulou, and that square has a mysterious power that can make people fall into illusions. In hallucinations, you can get anything you dream of, and you can see what you fear the most.

Once you fall into this kind of hallucination, as long as someone next to you gives you a little verbal guidance, the person in the hallucination will reveal the true thoughts in your heart, which is very scary. It is precisely because of this square that Xiao Li and the fat man Boss Li fought, and Ling Rou and Xia He, the intimate best friends, also had an estrangement. Because of this, Boss Li and Xia He lived alone that night, and it happened that all the two people who lived alone were attacked, and Boss Li disappeared because of this.

Now that I think about it, what happened that night was really unusual, and maybe it had something to do with the tulou.

While thinking, I followed the crowd and walked slowly into the tulou, and at a glance I saw the square with mysterious power that Wang Xi said.

A gust of wind hit me, and I couldn't help but gasp and stop walking. Not because of the wind, but because of what I'm seeing at the moment.

The square is indeed as Wang Xi described, very wide, surrounded by a circular earth building, the moonlight pours down from the top of the square, the square is illuminated by a ghostly firefly, very clear, and the surrounding earth buildings appear relatively dark, because of the corridor, can not see what is in the earth building.

However, this is not the point, what makes me tremble at this time is the dense black lacquered wooden coffins placed on the square, there are thousands of them, neatly arranged on the square, the coffin lids are all open, and the inside is empty, and those wooden guys are climbing into these coffins in an orderly manner at this time, and the coffin lid is closed expressionlessly, and my scalp is numb.
