I saw that the two missing buddies came here at some point, and they were helped on the stone wall, obviously caught here.

The wires wrapped around his body have been deeply cut into the flesh and blood, one by one, and the bones are visible.

In addition to these two people, there are countless corpses on the stone wall, and it seems that some of them have only been dead for about a year, and they have not even completely dissolved their bodies.

Most of them have turned into white bones, and Ah Ci counted them carefully, and there were hundreds of corpses here.

In the silent and mysterious mountain village, the accumulation of white bones in the hidden cave is as weird as it gets.

And their way of dying should be the same as these two buddies, they are all tightly strangled into the flesh and blood by the iron wire, wrapped around the stone wall, and their blood is drained.

Linnaeus screamed and turned his face away, and Ah Ci stared at the scene in front of him with a strange sparkle in his eyes.

Liang Zhan glanced at Ah Ci and was startled by the glint in her eyes.

"Aci?"

Ah Ci pointed to their feet and said, "Blood." ”

Only then did Liang Zhan notice that the blood in their bodies was dripping into the groove below along the soles of their feet, and the blood in the groove didn't know where it was going.

Liang Zhan was puzzled: "The insects didn't eat these two people, is it just to take their blood?" ”

Ah Ci said in a deep voice: "This blood was specially reserved for that person. ”

Liang Zhan frowned: "Which person?" ”

Ah Ci looked up at Liang Zhan: "Follow the direction of this blood flow, just look for it." ”

Saying that Ah Ci took the lead in the front, Liang Zhan thought about it and followed, then looked back at Linnaeus, and said: "The front may be very dangerous, you don't have to follow, I have to find out." will come back to you. ”

Linnaeus shook his head and stepped forward to hug Liang Zhan's arm.

Liang Zhan shook her hand with a helpless expression: "What are you doing?" ”

Linnaeus put his face on Liang Zhan's arm: "I'm really scared, Liang Zhan, I'm really scared, don't leave me here alone." ”

Liang Zhan sometimes really feels that Linnaeus is a trouble.

"Then watch your step." Liang Zhan reminded without being salty.

Ah Ci glanced at the woman lightly, pretended not to see it, and continued to walk. The blood in the trough didn't extend far. The blood of two people dried up, almost more than three thousand milliliters.

Suddenly, Ah Ci stopped his steps, and Ah Ci stopped again to make the hearts of the two of them skip a beat, and subconsciously looked up.

I saw that all the blood in the blood tank flowed into a small circular pool.

The cylinder rose out of the pool of blood, a full dozen meters high, and reached the top of the cave.

Linnaeus's eyes widened in panic, and even his voice trembled: "What is this?" It's so weird, let's get out of here quickly. ”

Taking advantage of Linnaeus's distraction, Liang Zhan quickly pulled out his arm and stepped forward to check it. This look almost didn't scare Liang Zhan's legs.

Seeing that Liang Zhan hurriedly pulled Ah Ci back a few steps again and again, he said in a trembling voice: "This pool is full of insects. ”

Ah Ci didn't seem to be surprised at all, and said calmly: "Obviously, they catch a few people every year to come over and sacrifice these insects. ”

Linnaeus hid behind Liang Zhan, trembling helplessly: "We can't escape, they are all dead, they are all ...... He's dead. Now there are only three of us left, and there is definitely no way to get out of here. ”

Seeing that Ah Ci was about to walk over, Liang Zhan grabbed her: "What are you doing?" ”

Ah Ci broke free of Liang Zhan's hand and said, "If these insects are aggressive now, we will all be buried in this pool of blood." ”

Liang Zhan thought about it, there was indeed some truth, when he watched those insects attack his companions before, he was quick and merciless, and the three of them were standing here now, it was impossible not to react at all.

Unless these bugs are not aggressive right now.

Ah Ci boldly walked to the pool, and in the blood pool, there were countless dense and tiny black insects rolling and wriggling in the blood pool.

Fortunately, there are no people with dense phobia, and it is estimated that they will be scared to death when they see this scene.

I don't know how many people's blood was collected in this blood pool, so Ah Ci looked around and brought a dead branch over.

Just as he was about to reach out and probe into the pool, Liang Zhan snatched the dead branch from her hand and said in a deep voice, "I'll explore." ”

Liang Zhan poked the dead branches into the pool, a large pool with a diameter of more than 100 meters, and when he went down, it was submerged more than ten centimeters deep.

Not long after the dead branches poked in, they were devoured by insects at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Liang Zhan threw the remaining dead branches in his hand into the pool, and the dead branches soon had no scum left.

It turns out that in addition to parasitic on the human body and sucking the blood of the human body, these insects also eat some dead branches or rotten leaves.

Liang Zhan: "Those who died on the stone wall are probably sacrifices to this pool. ”

Suddenly, Ah Ci pointed to the top of the stone pillar and said, "Look. ”

Linnaeus and Liang Zhan looked up in the direction pointed by Ah Ci, only to see a heavy chain wrapped around the top, and they didn't know what it was for.

Ah Ci walked sixty degrees counterclockwise around the pool of blood.

When they saw the scene in front of them, the three of them didn't make a sound for a long time.

I saw that on the stone wall, there was a small figure locked there by heavy chains. The man's flesh was dried and gray, thin and thin, with distinct joints.

The most bizarre thing is that although the person was dried and looked dead, her hair had not fallen out and had fallen down to her ankles.

The air flowing in the cave formed an air current, stirring the hair of the little girl who was dried corpse, shiny, black and thick.

"A person has been dead for so long, but why is her hair still so black and shiny?" Linnaeus gasped: "This is incredible. ”

Ah Ci said lightly: "As long as people can provide enough nutrients to their hair, they can continue to grow and be shiny and shiny like this hair." ”

Liang Zhan shook his head: "This is even more weird, the girl in front of me should have been dead for a long time." Judging from the bearing of the corpse's air drying, it has been several years to say the least. ”

Tzu: "What if it's more than a few years?" Maybe a dozen years, maybe decades. She's always been here. ”

Linnaeus scolded: "Don't scare me! ”

Ah Ci looked back at Linnaeus, sneered, and did not speak again.

Liang Zhan seemed to think of something, and suddenly said: "Those portraits on the stone wall, are they ......?"

Ah Ci: "The little girl in the stone wall is the little girl we saw in front of us." ”

Suddenly they heard a noise, what seemed to be the sound of people moving, but it sounded like the footsteps were messy and unorganized.

Linnaeus looked back sharply: "Did someone come in?" ”

At this time, a trace of panic flashed on Ah Ci's face: "It's not a person, it's a parasite." ”

Liang Zhan looked around and pointed to a depression in the stone wall: "Let's climb up and hide there, it is estimated that they will not be discovered for the time being." ”

Ah Ci glanced at the hole hanging about four meters from the stone wall and nodded.

Linnaeus frowned: "So high, how can we go up?" ”

Liang Zhan pointed to the natural tree roots that came in from the top of the stone cave, hanging densely, "We climbed the roots that grew in and climbed up. ”

Ah Ci pulled the root vine of the tree, which was very strong, so he quickly climbed up the hole.

Then came Liang Zhan, Liang Zhan's speed was very fast, and he couldn't keep up with Ah Ci after a while, but Linnaeus obviously didn't have any motor cells, even if she tried her best, she still couldn't climb up.

The chaotic footsteps and the murmur of what seemed to be a beast were getting closer and closer, and Linnaeus was sweating profusely as Liang Zhan and Ah Ci had already climbed to the cave.

Linnaeus said in a crying voice: "Don't leave me, we are friends, Liang Zhan, Liang Zhan!" ”

Ah Ci said coldly: "The two of us worked together to pull her up." ”

Liang Zhan glanced at Ah Ci. asked, "I thought you hated her." ”

Ah Ci: "I don't like it, but I don't have a deep grudge against her." It's not enough to watch her die. ”

Liang Zhan smiled: "Ah Ci, in fact, your heart is very kind. ”

Ah Ci sneered: "Kindness? Someday you'll regret using that word to describe me. ”

Liang Zhan smiled while pulling Linnaeus hard: "How come? I will always remember you for your kindness and take care of you. ”

Ah Ci's eyes sank, and he didn't speak again, and the moment the parasites came in, they finally pulled Linnaeus up.

This hollow is designed to hold three people, and if there is one more, it will not be possible.

Liang Zhan was secretly glad that they were lying in the hollow, not even daring to get out of the atmosphere, staring at the movement below for a moment.

I saw that the things began to bow down to the little girl on the stone pillar.

Ah Ci gasped hard, and felt a faint uneasiness in her heart.

I don't know if it's an illusion, they just felt that the little girl seemed to move, but no one spoke, just exchanged glances with each other.

I don't know how long the parasites knelt down, and suddenly the insects in the pool began to agitate.

Linnaeus's eyes widened as he watched the bugs inside tremble.

Liang Zhan was just pretending to be calm, only Ah Ci was really calmly observing everything below now. I saw that the insects in the pool of blood began to climb up the long pillar, very fast, and those insects poured into the little girl's body from the mouth, nose and ears.

Linnaeus covered his mouth, and he was sick to his stomach and almost threw up.

Suddenly, the little girl on the pillar really moved, and struggled twice with her hands and feet, and then her empty eyes seemed to come alive.

Ah Ci's eyes widened, looking at the things in front of him that might not be encountered in a lifetime, obviously the people who died before, a dried corpse, gradually came back to life in front of their eyes.

The worm had sucked enough blood to pour back into the dry corpse, and the shriveled skin seemed to be held up all at once, and began to glow.

This process lasted for more than half an hour, and the little girl really came back to life, even though she had died again and again after so many years, but she was still alive after all.

No one could tell what kind of evil art it was, and Ah Ci suddenly thought of the immortal art mentioned in that diary.

Perhaps the immortality technique written by the female author has something to do with this, and she came here to unlock this secret, so she can be like them. A glimpse of the secret.

The insects in the pool gradually disappeared and burrowed into the little girl's body.

The little girl who was tied to the stone pillar was full of insects, and these monsters could no longer be called human. They're just puppets manipulated by bugs.

And now they must not harm their current host, otherwise they will look for a new host if the host is hurt.

Ah Ci was really afraid that they would stay here and worship all the time, and the little girl struggled on the pillar for a long time, but she never broke free, and the chain was too tight. And Ah Ci noticed that there were several mirrors around the cave.

Because the roots of the tree are broken and the earth can seep into the sunlight, the mirror reflects the light, which is projected right on the little girl's body.

She seemed to be afraid of such light, but Ah Ci wondered if she would break free from the chains at night, if there was no such light?

After estimating the time, it was exactly eight o'clock in the morning, and it had taken them nearly a night to jump into the cave from outside.

Finally. When the worship was done, it was like a walking corpse leaving.

The cave was not quiet because of this, and the girl on the stone pillar struggled even harder, and seemed to moan in pain.

Linnaeus shuddered and covered his ears desperately, making sure that those things would not come back.

Ah Ci crawled out and was about to go down, Liang Zhan's face turned pale for a while, and he called softly: "Ah Ci, what are you doing?" ”

Question voice. Ah Ci had already gone down two meters, Liang Zhan looked worried, it was impossible to let Ah Ci go down alone, looked back at Linnaeus, and commanded in a low voice: "You stay here alone, Ah Ci and I will go down." ”

Linnaeus wanted to pull Liang Zhan to accompany her, but Liang Zhan climbed down quickly and almost did not hesitate.

Seeing him like this, Linnaeus was full of jealousy in his eyes, and Liang Zhan also put Ah Ci too much in his heart. Is there really any danger that he still has to stand in front of Ah Ci and die for her?

Ah Ci walked slowly to the little girl, looking up at the little girl on the pillar.

I saw that the little girl was looking at her for a moment, and I don't know what the reason was, the little girl's eyes were blood-red, and she couldn't distinguish between the whites of her eyes and the pupils.

Ah Ci looked at her for a long time, and the little girl suddenly seemed to make a cry for help.

Liang Zhan felt incredible, and said softly to Ah Ci: "Is she telling you something?" Or do you want to reveal something to you? ”

Ah Ci stared at her for a long time before she affirmed, "She probably wants us to put her down." Get her out of here. ”

Liang Zhan frowned: "Are you sure she wants you to save her?" ”

Ah Ci replied softly: "She doesn't seem to have any ill will towards us. ”

Liang Zhan raised his forehead: "How did you communicate with her?" Why can't I see at all that she's not malicious? ”

Ah Ci: "I don't know, I seem to be able to hear the words in her heart, very lonely, very desperate, I want to break free from here, she has been trapped here for too long, too long." ”

Liang Zhan looked back at the exit where those things disappeared, and said to Ah Ci: "Let's leave her alone, no matter how she looks, she is also a monster." And those things don't know when they're going to come back, so we're leaving now. ”

Ah Ci: "If those hosts are all outside, once we venture out, we won't be able to run away." ”

Liang Zhan: "Otherwise, we can only go back." ”

Ci: "Maybe there's a third option. ”

Ah Ci didn't say it, Liang Zhan also knew what she was referring to, he firmly objected: "You and I saw her resurrection scene just now, if there is really an incredible demon in this world, then she is that demon, otherwise those people would not have locked her here twice." ”

Ah Ci glanced at Liang Zhan lightly, "I trust my instincts. ”

Liang Zhan couldn't: "You're gambling on your life at all." If this demon is just tempting you. Show us her vulnerable side, just to get you to save her, and when she comes down, we will be his next host. Know that she has hurt a lot of people before us. ”

Seeing that they were not in danger, Linnaeus also jumped down, heard them talking about putting down this monster, and followed Liang Zhan's words and said, "Ah Ci, don't be nervous, just listen to Liang Zhan once." Now the three of us are grasshoppers on a rope, if it is really as Liang Yizhan said, the three of us will have to die here. ”

Ah Ci was silent and did not speak again, and Linnaeus proposed again: "And I see that they have been out for a long time, and they have been active in the village before, and it is estimated that they will not come back, so we can go out now, maybe we can escape from the village smoothly." ”

Ah Ci listened to it and laughed mockingly, Linnaeus's idea was really naïve!

Liang Zhan glanced at Ah Ci, and at this time he also felt that Linnaeus's proposal was feasible, so he said: "Ah Ci, I think Linnaeus has a point this time, why don't we leave here now, maybe there will be a glimmer of life." ”

Ah Ci ignored them, just kept looking at the little girl, and the little girl's mouth made a strange sound, which seemed to be a human voice, but when she listened carefully, she couldn't understand anything.

Linnaeus shuddered. He staggered back two steps: "It's crazy, she is still trying to communicate with her." ”

Liang Zhan stepped forward and pulled Ah Ci, "Ah Ci, I think you need to listen to some of our suggestions this time, compared to us, this demon is even more untrustworthy." ”

Ah Ci's cold eyes did not have a trace of emotional ups and downs, as if stating the facts and results of objective reality.

"Without her help, we'd never want to get out of this village."

Linnaeus has always been unaccustomed to Ah Ci, and sneered: "Don't be alarmist, you put it down." I bet to you, she won't let us go, she sucked the blood of so many people, didn't she do it all by instructing those bugs to be controlled? If you want me to say, just burn her to death with a fire, and it will be a hundred. ”

The little girl seemed to understand Linnaeus's intention to burn her to death, and she became emotional.

Ah Ci said indifferently: "You guys go first, I'll stay." ”

Linnaeus quietly evoked a light smile and pulled Liang Zhan over: "Liang Zhan, let's go." It seems that Ah Ci will not listen to my advice and go with us. ”

Liang Zhan looked back at Ah Ci helplessly, he really didn't expect her to be so stubborn and not listen to other people's advice at all.

Ah Ci looked back and watched Liang Zhan's figure leave, and it was not until she disappeared in front of her that she slowly withdrew her gaze.

Linnael pulled the passive Liang Zhan and muttered as he walked: "Ah Ci is really too stupid, she is really too naïve, how could that monster leave her?" Once she puts the monster down, we're all going to die here. Is it really good for her to be so willful? When Liang Zhan, I think we need to get out of the village as fast as we can before she puts that thing down. ”

Suddenly, Liang Zhan paused violently and whispered: "I can't leave her there alone, I have to go back to find her." ”

Linnaeus's eyes widened and he looked at him unacceptably: "Are you crazy too?" It's just a dead end to go back like this! Is Ah Ci really that important? More important than your life? ”

Liang Zhan shook off her hand and smiled: "You are really right, Ah Ci is indeed more important than my life, I promised her that I would protect her well, my life is hers, so I can't break my promise, I have to go back to her." ”

After that, Liang Zhan ran to the cave without looking back, Lin Nai looked at Liang Zhan's background helplessly, his eyes were red, Lin Zhan had no choice but to follow Liang Zhan back to find Ah Ci.

When Liang Zhan went back, he saw Ah Ci climbing on the rock wall and taking down the mirrors one by one.

Now that it was ten o'clock in the morning, when the daylight was at its strongest, Ah Ci noticed some details, these insects actually rarely came out during the day, indicating that these insects were afraid of light.

Comparatively speaking, they are much less aggressive during the day, and once it is night, it is the peak of their activity.

At this time, Ah Ci had already taken off the two mirrors, and the little girl who was tied to the pillar did not seem to be as lifeless as she was at the beginning, and her vitality seemed to be more vivid.

Liang Zhan saw that Ah Ci was very determined. Then he shouted, "Ah Ci, I'll help you." ”

Ah Ci heard Liang Zhan's voice, a strange streamer flashed in his eyes, and he looked back at him sharply, not expecting him to come back.

Thinking that Liang Zhan and Linnaeus left nothing, she has always been alone and can handle all dangers.

I don't know why, when she knew that Liang Zhan came back to accompany her regardless of the danger of her life, Ah Ci felt a trace of warmth flowing through her heart.

Liang Zhan and Ah Ci took down the mirrors embedded in the surroundings together, and without the reflected sunlight, the thing seemed to be extremely excited.

The body writhed and couldn't wait to come out. It's just that the chain is tied too tightly.

Linnaeus ran over, and when he saw the little girl struggling more and more on the stone pillar, he was so frightened that he almost cried.

"You're really crazy! We're all going to die! We're all going to die!! ”

Ah Ci glanced back at her in disgust, "Actually, you can leave, but why do you want to come back?" ”

Linnaeus stared at Aci and couldn't say a word.

The reason why she is relying on Liang Zhan is precisely because Liang Zhan is now the only piece of driftwood she can grasp?

Ah Ci's eyes, which seemed to perceive the sharpness of everything, made Linnaeus feel afraid and hated, Ah Ci and them were simply people from two worlds.

At this moment, an even more bizarre scene happened.
