Chapter 21: The Bell
I didn't sleep much in the second half of the night, and I kept thinking about the scene of driving out the corpses, where did the corpses that suddenly disappeared on the street go? Whose hand is it that appears out of nowhere? And what is the origin of the mysterious corpse chaser who did not show up, did he happen to pass by the ancient town?
My mind was so full of questions that I couldn't sleep at all, and whenever I closed my eyes, the image of the corpse chaser that I had just seen came to mind, and it was not until dawn that sleepiness swept over me like a tide. I finally fell asleep, but this sleep is still unstable, I had a lot of bizarre dreams, dreaming that the people in the tour group are dead, Wang Xi and Dong Qian stood in front of me covered in blood and cried to me, the tour guide Sister Yang waved at me with tears on her face, her mouth was open, as if she was shouting something at me, and several other people were the same, they all died miserably, crying at me sadly, but I couldn't hear what they were shouting anyway.
When I woke up from the nightmare, I was drenched in cold sweat, and even my bed was half soaked.
The doctor came back from washing and fetched water for me, but when he saw me sweating profusely, he frowned, especially when he saw the bed wet with my sweat, his brow was about to wrinkle into his nostrils.
This is the doctor, and his severe cleanliness habit makes him very disgusted with my sweat, after all, we are now in the same bed. But this is limited to dislike, for so many years, the doctor knows very well what kind of person I am, although I also love cleanliness, but usually I am the kind of person who is not informal. Let's take our respective desks during college, because many classes of students have moved in before us, so it is inevitable that there will be some graffiti on the tables, and even slashed boogers and chewed gum will be glued under the corners of the tables.
I could not stand it, so on the first day of his stay, he spent the whole afternoon cleaning the table and bed, and even the old graffiti was scrubbed over and over again. At the time, we all thought he was hypocritical, but later we found out that what was revealed on the day of admission was just the tip of the iceberg.
One noon after living for about a month, when the doctor moved the stool, he accidentally touched a grain of weathered boogers stuck under the stool, and the sound of rage resounded throughout the dormitory building. Our beds were all above and under the table, and the doctor dismantled all the beds this time, scrubbed every part carefully, and worked until ten o'clock in the evening, and when the whole bed was put back together, we seemed to see the bed shining brightly.
The doctor can be the best iron buddy with me, naturally he will not turn his face with me because of a little sweat, and I bet that when I wash it, the doctor will definitely take the quilt apart and wash it himself.
I took the water the doctor gave me, smiled at him, didn't pay attention to his unnatural expression, and went to the screen to wash myself. Ten minutes later, I had finished washing, changed into clothes, and felt refreshed.
The doctor wasn't in the room, so I looked at the dismantled futon and smiled knowingly.
Regarding the incident of Luo Yi last night, Sister Yang asked my opinion again very intimately, I looked at Luo Yi who kept glancing at me behind Sister Yang, smiled in my heart, and politely refused. So, after instructing me to pay attention to safety when I went out to play, Sister Yang set off with the rest of the tour group.
Luo Yi stayed in my room and asked me where the doctor was, and I reluctantly pointed to the dismantled bedding at the head of the bed and said, "Wash things!" ”
Hearing this, Luo Yi's mouth opened wide in surprise, I saw that her eyes were wrong, and I hurriedly patted her head: "What do you think?" The guy had a serious cleanliness fetish, and I sweated a little, and he couldn't stand it, so he went to wash it. ”
Luo Yi covered her mouth and snickered, muttering: "People don't think about anything, it's the reporter you want to be crooked!" Why are you so nervous, hehe! ”
I stroked my forehead with my hand, and I got it, and I was put into an army by this little girl, what the hell is this, a treacherous person like a Taoist priest can't take advantage of me in my hands, how can a little girl make me deflated? Am I born with no immunity to beautiful women?
The doctor hadn't come back yet, so I asked Luo what his plans were and where he was going.
Luo Yi mysteriously took out a small bell engraved with mysterious symbols, approached me and said, "I want to find the person who made this bell!" ”
I felt that the bell in Luo Yi's hand was a little familiar, and I was curious for a while, so I took it from her hand and looked at it, and was immediately surprised, only to see that the symbol engraved on this bell was somewhat similar to the evil suppression spell on the mysterious black iron chain in the core of the Yeling Hell Tree, and the shape of this copper bell was exactly the same as the shape of the copper bell used to control the corpse in the hand of the mysterious corpse chaser last night, but the size was much smaller, and it was completely a miniature version of the corpse control bell!
"Where did you get this?" I managed to suppress the shock in my heart and try to calm my tone down, but there was still a trilling in my voice.
"I bought it from a guy on the forum, and he told me about the post about Underworld!" Seeing my shocked expression after seeing the bell, Luo Yi's face showed a trace of pride, in her opinion, people like me who have experienced so many strange things are also shocked when they see the copper bell, which means that this bell is absolutely unusual, doesn't this mean that her vision is very powerful?
I was puzzled and asked her, "But why did you buy it?" Do you know where this bell came from? ”
"I don't know!" Luo Yi opened a pair of big eyes with an innocent expression, "The first time I saw it, I thought it was mysterious, so I contacted the owner of the bell and bought it." ”
Loy's explanation almost made me faint, and I said that this is okay?
"This broken bell looks like something unusual, just this, a treasure is searched for a lot, ten yuan three, and free shipping!"
Hearing me say this, Luo Yi was immediately unhappy, snatched the bell from my hand, held it in his hand and said, "Don't underestimate it, this bell is amazing, have you heard of the corpse control bell?" It's a magic bell that can control corpses, and it's the same as corpse bells, which can also control corpses. ”
I frowned, "You know this?" You say it's the same as the corpse bell, have you tried it? ”
Luo Yi smiled mysteriously and explained: "These are all told to me by the person who sold my bell, as for the authenticity of the bell, let me tell you, before I came to you, a relative in the village died, and I thought about trying to see if the person lied to me, so I used it once." ”
"What? Did you really use it? "I was shocked, and I said that this little girl's courage is also fat! What if this gets into trouble?
But who thought that Luo Yi said nonchalantly: "Cut, what's the big deal, the man said, although the bell can control the corpse, this is not a complete corpse driving technique, so the most you can make the corpse move, the corpse is still a corpse, there will be no change, but if you encounter a zombie made by the corpse chasing technique, you can control it with this bell." ”
"How could that person know this? What else did he say to you? "I feel that the person who sells bells in Luo Yi's words is not simple, how can ordinary people know this, and since he knows this, he also sells the bells to others casually, which shows that this guy should not be a good person, and he must let the third uncle check it when he goes back.
Luo Yi shook her head, saying that the bell was bought by the person she took the initiative to contact the person after seeing the picture on the post, these were bonus messages, and later Luo Yi used the bell, which really made the dead body react, and scared the relatives enough at that time. Later, Luo Yi learned about the magic of the bell, so he went to ask the man about the origin of the bell, and later found the post of the town of Hades.
According to the man, the bell was brought back from the town by a deceased friend of his, who also saw the post in the town and went to the town before going there. Luo Yi also discovered the magic of the bell, so she came up with the idea of finding the origin of the bell, because she felt that the person who could make the bell must know how to drive out corpses, and she happened to be a super admirer of these magical powers, if she could, she even wanted to worship the person who made the bell as a teacher.
I don't know why, after listening to Luo Yi's words, I suddenly felt uncomfortable in my heart, I always felt that something was wrong, but I couldn't say it.
At this moment, the doctor came back, his hands were wet, and he was soaked a little white, but his expression had a sense of relief, I thought it was funny, the doctor was like this, if he didn't wash off the quilt, it is estimated that he would be absent-minded no matter what he did this day, this is a typical perfectionism and heavy cleanliness.
The doctor also returned, and we cleaned up casually, and left the inn to find the maker of the brass bell that Loy had said. The symbol engraved on the copper bell is very similar to the evil suppression rune in the Hell Tree, aside from the relationship that I don't know the meaning of the symbol, the two may be the same rune, and the evil suppression rune is related to the three-eyed human race and the weird underground abyss, since it collided, I naturally can't let it go, in case there is also that kind of weird underground abyss here, it will be bad.
Besides, the function and shape of the bell are very similar to the corpse control bell in the hands of the corpse chaser I saw last night, which makes me very mindful, if last night I thought that the corpse chaser might just happen to pass by the ancient town, then now I have begun to suspect that the corpse chaser is a resident of the ancient town, if this is the case, last night's scene is too weird, so many zombies, where did they come from? There may be some conspiracy involved.
But until you find the maker of the bell, everything can only be guessed.
