Volume 1 Snake Dream Chapter 15 Humanoid Stone Statue
I stood in the basement door and looked inside, and a long hallway appeared in my field of vision, and there seemed to be a corner at the end of the hallway, and I didn't know where it led.
"This basement is even more terrifying than the first floor of the villa, I have to be careful." I pulled out the kitchen knife again and held it across my chest to avoid accidents.
When Li Yingyang saw me pick up the kitchen knife again, she was a little scared, thinking that I was going to do something to her, and she didn't dare to hold my hand.
I took the initiative to take back her little hand and give her a reasonable explanation: "Don't be afraid, Xiaoyingyang, my uncle took the kitchen knife to protect you." β
Li Yingyang blushed and seemed to be a little ashamed: "In this way, then Yingyang is wrong to blame his uncle, uncle won't blame Yingyang, right?" β
Seeing that Li Yingyang was about to cry with grievances, I immediately replied: "Silly Yingyang, how can my uncle blame you." β
After speaking, I took Li Yingyang and entered the corridor in the basement.
It was also raining blood in the basement, even bigger than the first floor of the villa, so I could only take off my coat to cover Li Yingyang to prevent her from catching a cold when she was drenched in the rain.
Although it was raining blood, it was warm inside the basement, and I walked down the aisle, not feeling cold at all, even feeling a little hot.
The aisle floor was so potholed with ring-shaped scales that I almost tripped over.
"These ring-shaped scales, I've seen on the arm of a woman with a broken leg, look a lot like snake scales." As I stepped into the aisle, I felt the snakey smell in my nose getting heavier and heavier, faintly overshadowing the smell of blood in the air.
"But in addition to the smell of snakes and blood, I also smelled a very strong fragrance, hey, it turned out to be Li Yingyang's body fragrance." Looking at the little girl next to me, I was a little puzzled, why her body fragrance could be equal to the smell of snakes? Could it be that this little girl is really a fragrant person?
As I went deeper into the aisle, I gradually found that the sides of the aisle were crawling with blood-colored vines, and the bodies of these blood-colored vines were even more blood-red than those on the snake floor, as if they were about to drip blood.
These blood-colored vines are entwined together, and they actually form a cage, like an iron prison in ancient times.
I thought that the blood-colored vine would take the initiative to attack me when he found out about me, so I had secretly decided that if I couldn't fight them, I would pick up Li Yingyang and run away.
But I guessed wrong, when those blood-colored vines saw me, they didn't move, and even retreated faintly, as if they were afraid of me.
"It is impossible for the blood-colored vine to be afraid of me, is it afraid of Li Yingyang beside me? It's impossible, it's probably because the blood-colored vine has changed somewhat, so you don't want to attack me. I shook my head and looked into the cage surrounded by blood vines.
There are many live snakes trapped in these blood vine cages, and these live snakes are constantly roaring, filling the basement with hissing sounds, which is very impatient.
Suppressing the irritability in my heart, I continued to observe the cage, and it was okay not to observe, but I was shocked when I observed.
In the corner next to the snakes, there were more blurry figures, and these figures looked straight at me with blood in their eyes.
"Are these living people...... What are they doing here?" I got goosebumps and was about to run away.
But when I looked closely, I found that this figure was just a humanoid stone statue.
They just look like people.
Each of these stone figures is different, some of them have their hands cut off, some have their faces bitten off, some have their hearts gouged out, and some have their intestines disemboweled, oozing out a disgusting small intestine.
But one thing in common, their faces are contorted, as if they are suffering from hell.
Where they stood, it was like a living person immobilized there, unable to move, only crying out silently in pain.
These stone figures are like cursed living beings, unable to escape from the cage of blood vines for the rest of their lives.
"These stone statues are really made like living people, looking at them, I feel like I am looking at living people, are these people like they are watered with human corpses?" I thought to myself.
I suddenly remembered the dining table in the hall on the first floor of the villa, and the food in the round bowl of the dining tableβhuman organs.
The two scenes overlapped in my mind, and finally, I came to a horrified thought: "Could it be that the humanoid stone statue is made of dead corpses?" Because...... Because their missing organs and limbs are in the white porcelain round bowl on the dinner table! β
Although this is just my conjecture, I vaguely feel that this possibility is very high, and even this conjecture is the truth, which is the origin of the humanoid stone statue.
Because it makes perfect sense.
"There were only severed human organs on the first floor of the villa, but there was no body of the victim, and I thought the body might be in the basement."
"But along the way, there were no dead bodies in the basement, but there were these strange figures, and they happened to have broken arms and legs."
"If there are many coincidences, it is the truth, so the owners of the organs at the dinner table are likely to be made into humanoid stone statues."
"How much enmity does this man have with the dead? After cutting off their organs, their corpses are also made into stone statues. β
"Judging by their distorted expressions, they should not have died when they were made into stone statues, which shows how desperate they were when they died, and it was better to live than to die."
I paused, looked at the horrific figures, and came to a shocking conclusion.
Seeing me stop, Li Yingyang also glanced at the stone statues, and she was so frightened that she hid behind me, shivering.
"Uncle...... Uncle, what are these? Why are their tears blood-red? Li Yingyang asked in a tremolo.
But while Li Yingyang trembled, he also muttered to himself a little dazedly: "How do I feel that they are somewhat familiar, I seem to have seen them, when they were alive." β
When I heard this, I was shocked: "Li Yingyang said that he had seen them, could it be that these stone statues are really made of human corpses?" Is there a father or a mother in these portraits? β
I can't imagine that if her parents were really in there, and they were made into humanoid stone statues, how would I explain to this little girl? She's going to die of grief.
I didn't know what to do for a while, so I had to cover her eyes and deceive her first: "Don't look at them, those are just ordinary stone statues, let's go quickly, maybe your parents are in front." β
After all, she was just a child, she didn't have much thought, and I hid the past from me, but she still had some fear on her face.
In order to dispel her fear, I covered her eyes and talked to her: "Mom and Dad have put you on the second floor of the villa for so long, why don't they come to see you?" β
"It's not that my parents don't come to see me, it's my sister who won't let them come up." Li Yingyang suddenly felt a little aggrieved.
This was originally a very ordinary sentence, but I was shocked when I heard it, and my heart was full of question marks: "What? Do you have a sister? And your sister is here? Why didn't you tell me? β
Seemingly frightened by my series of question marks, Li Yingyang thought that he had done something wrong again, and cried with a sad face: "Uncle, you didn't ask, so I forgot to say, did Yingyang do something wrong again, uncle I'm sorry." β
How could I blame a little child, just think it's a little strange, how can she have an extra sister? What identity does this sister play in the Snake Tower?
Judging from Li Yingyang's words, it was her sister who didn't let her parents come up, and a girl could actually stop her parents' actions? Why did she prevent her parents from coming to see Lee Young-yang?
"Does my sister think that Li Yingyang is not worthy of having parents? It seems that this sister does not care about her sister and even regards Lee Young-yeong as an enemy. β
"This extra sister is not simple."
I secretly reminded myself to be careful of this extra sister.
