Chapter 33: Locking Spirits

According to Lao Meng, most of the content in the book is flat and straightforward, and the only thing that is a little strange is that the middle year has been broken for ten years.

I was amazed at how careful Lao Meng was, and he could even see the omission of ten years.

Lao Meng explained that it was the person who recorded it who was meticulous and arranged all the years in order. There happened to be a row of vacancies on the shelves, and I checked the omissions that happened to be ten years.

I looked at the vacancy that Lao Meng said, and found that there was clearly a mark left on it.

It's clear that someone took this row of books away, and it didn't take long.

Someone has been here before us.

At that moment, the sound of glass beads falling to the ground was heard upstairs. Yu Nian and I glanced at each other for the first time, and ran upstairs together.

I ran upstairs only to find that upstairs was an empty room, and in the middle of the floor, there was a cross-legged female corpse.

To my surprise, the clothes on the outside of the dried corpse turned out to be exactly the same as the statue downstairs.

Is this a coincidence?

I raised my foot and was about to leave, but Yu Nian grabbed me at this time, "Don't move yet." ”

I was wondering when she looked up and gestured, "Do you see the red rope on this woman's head, this is the technique of binding." Wrap a red rope soaked in chicken blood around the corpse's neck to bind the person in place, and her soul will never be able to escape. ”

"Fuck, the person who did this is perverted enough, what kind of hatred and grudge, to make the family never overborn?"

Yu Nian asked us to wait where we were, stepped forward and lifted the corner of the dry corpse's clothes with the tip of his knife, and took out a copper bell from the dried corpse's clothes. Tear a piece of cloth from my body, wrap it around the brass bell, make sure it doesn't ring, and hand it to me.

I looked at it and saw that there was nothing special about the bell.

"What is this?"

Yu Nian said that the thing is called Lock Spirit, which is a pair.

The person who made this bell could put another bell on the person who wanted to cast the spell and wear the mother bell himself, so that on the fifteenth day of the month, the bell could be called to control the behavior of the other person.

This was originally a token between lovers, but later it became a kind of witchcraft, and no one knows whether it is true or not.

In ancient times, people always believed that their wishes could be fulfilled with the help of mysterious powers, just as people today believe that they can keep their marriages by relying on the provisions of the law.

So, this dried corpse was kept here until he died?

Judging by the clothing, the corpse bears a strong resemblance to the statue downstairs. However, the face of the dried corpse has collapsed, and it is no longer possible to make out the full appearance except for the bones, so the appearance is unknown.

Could it be that Monroe fell in love with the woman upstairs, but the woman had a lover who swore to death, so Monroe thought of such a way to lock up the woman?

Otherwise, what kind of conspiracy is it, it takes so much effort.

After I made my guess, Yu Nian glared at me mercilessly. Also, Monroe is a faith-like existence in her heart, how can she do such a degrading thing.

It wasn't until later that I realized that what I see now is just the tip of the iceberg in this huge story.

At this time, Lao Meng seemed to see something pressing under the dry corpse.

I said, "Do you want to move it up and see what it is?" ”

Lao Meng nodded, "I agree." ”

After saying that, he and Yu Nian both took a step back, obviously not wanting to touch the dried corpse.

I looked at Tuso for help, and Tuso looked at me indifferently, telling me with a practical reaction that he wouldn't care about me.

I couldn't overcome my curiosity, so I rolled up my sleeves and stepped forward.

The female corpse had turned blue-black from top to bottom, and the joints were clearly piercing through the dry skin. The eyeballs have long since dried up and fallen off, replaced by two lifeless prosthetic eyes.

I secretly slandered this person for being perverted enough, not to mention that he was not allowed to be buried when he died, and he also filled her with rotten eyeballs.

I couldn't bear to face her, so I turned sideways and carefully lifted her, but I didn't expect that the female corpse had dried up and dehydrated to the way it is now, but the weight had not decreased little by little.

I gritted my teeth, held the female corpse's armpit, and lifted it up vigorously. Now the female corpse is closer to me. I tried to avoid her eyes against the tip of my nose, but I could still see her dry skin and strangely long fingernails.

I smelled a very sour smell, wrinkled my nose, tilted my head back, and shouted to Lao Meng to hurry up and pull out the contents under the dried corpse.

Lao Meng pinched his nose and stepped forward and took out a mat from under the dry corpse. At the same time, she found something wrapped in cloth under her.

After taking the things away, I hurriedly put the person down, the mat was hard, and when I touched it with my hand, I could clearly feel that there seemed to be something sewn inside. After the cloth bag was opened, it was found that it was a brand-new silver bell, although it was the same as the one that Yu Nian had taken down just now, but this one was as bright as new.

Lao Meng shook it, and the bell made a crisp sound.

Echoing in the empty room. Who knew that Tuso shuddered when he heard this. It's not like a simple shiver because of the cold, but like an electric shock, a slam of time.

Because Tuso is larger, the action is more obvious.

We all looked at him, and who would have thought that his eyes would glow with a faint green light at this moment.

Tusuo looked at the bell in Lao Meng's hand, humming and panting, like a cow in the bullring, as if he was about to pounce on Lao Meng and tear him apart in the next second.

"What's going on? Can't he hear it? ”

Lao Meng didn't know why, so he shook the bell in his hand again.

Tuso had already started to go berserk by this time, and he didn't look like the same person at all. It was as if it was already a transformed beast, roaring and pounced on Lao Meng.

Yu Nian jumped up and directly shot down the bell in Lao Meng's hand. Before Tu Suo pounced, he pushed Lao Meng under the table to the side.

Yu Nian pressed one hand against Tuso's shoulder, and the other hand against his chest.

The two of them fought separately, although Yu Nian was nearly two heads shorter than Tusuo, but the two were evenly matched at the moment.

But Tu Suo hooked Yu Nian's injured shoulder with his backhand at this time, and Yu Nian's cold sweat flowed in pain.

I clenched my fists and stepped forward, slamming them into Tuso's head.

But the circle seemed to hit a concrete pier, and it shook my hand as if it was about to crack to the bone, but Tuso didn't think so.

I thought about it, and quickly picked up the bell that had fallen on the ground, held it in front of me and shook it twice.

Tuso heard the sound of the bell and tilted his head sideways to find his way, exactly like a wolf.

He let go of his thoughts in the next second, gasping for breath and lunging at me.

At this moment, the entire octagonal tower was plunged into darkness.

I just began to recall, this octagonal tower is underground, there is no light at all, why from the moment we came in, it was like daylight, brightly lit?

It wasn't until after falling into darkness that I realized the problem.

In the darkness, except for Tuso's eyes, which were still shining, everyone was like a headless fly, in a panic.

At this time, Lao Meng grabbed my feet from under the table and whispered to me to hide in.

At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly came from downstairs. In the next second, a group of red-eyed things flew down from the upper floor, instantly surrounding the room.

For a moment, the octagonal tower echoed with the high-frequency cry of that thing.

I looked up and finally saw what the bunch of things were flying down from the upper floor.

It turned out to be the bats that were lying on the Buddha statue just now.

It's just that this time it's much larger than before. Blood-red eyes with sharp teeth that grow outside the jaw, as if they were a previous mutant.

These mutant bats seemed to be attracted by the sound of bells, and all of a sudden, they rushed under the table of Superego and Lao Meng.

I hurriedly pushed Lao Meng out from under the table and moved towards the place where I remembered Yu Nian was.

As soon as I walked out, I felt a pain in my heart.

When I turned my head, I saw that the bat had been biting hard at my shoulder blade. Lao Meng saw that I was helpless, and I was heartbroken, and I directly asked it to catch that thing.

Lao Meng grabbed the bat's wings and pulled them down hard. But the bat seemed to bite my bones to pieces, and no matter how hard Lao Meng dragged it, it refused to let go, and finally tore a piece of meat off my shoulder.

Tuso, who was on the side, smelled blood, was instantly excited, and pounced on me.

After shooting down a few bats in front of him, Yu Nian threw the bone umbrella at me. I took the bone umbrella in front of me in the dark, and Yu Nian shouted at this time, "Crush that bell!" ”

I hurriedly did as she said, threw the bell on the ground and stepped on it.

At the same time as the bell shattered, Tuso collapsed to the ground as if the power had been cut off. The bats also seemed to have lost their ability to recognize their direction and began to crash into the wall on their own, some of them fell to the ground, and some flew back the way they came.

The second floor was in shambles, and I checked everyone's injuries again and again, and found that except for Suihe's wrist bite, no one else was injured.

"Suihe, hurry up and find something to bandage the wound first, be careful of infection."

After I finished speaking, I only felt that Suihe looked at me with a little shocked, "You, how do you know that my wrist is injured?" ”

As soon as I said that, I realized that although Suihe and I were only separated by less than five meters before, it was pitch black all around, how did I see her wounds?

It's hard for me to describe the range of vision I have now, I know it's dark all around me now, I can't see my fingers, but I can still see what I want to see.

For example, I know Yu Nian's broken hair that is now wet, as well as Suihe's injured wrist, and Tusuo's posture of falling to the ground......

I rubbed my eyes desperately, and realized that the world in front of me was still like this.

At this time, Yu Nian picked up the mat on which the dry corpse was sitting under him, picked it up and asked me tentatively, "What is sewn into this mat?" ”

Through a thick layer of wool felt and padded cotton, I could still see that there were six bamboo slips sewn inside......
