Volume 1: Apprentice Onmyoji Chapter 40: Stealing the Black Box (Part II)

He's dead?

If the one lying in the coffin was really himself, then what was going on with him now? Ghosts?

Seeing his corpse, Xu Shiying was really frightened, and the mourning people around him glared at him angrily, wielding all kinds of agricultural tools and beating him, everyone was dead, and he was so disrespectful to the deceased, he should be beaten!

Xu Shiying numbly endured the beating of everyone and did not resist, he felt incredible, and he also seriously doubted his existence, and his pale face still echoed in his mind.

The coffin has not been accompanied by any good meaning since ancient times, in Xu Shiying's opinion, no one would not think that he could still be happy to see the coffin, especially the coffin lying in him and the little boy who was taken away by the black shadow just now!

Thinking of the little boy, Xu Shiying suddenly thought that the black shadow asked him to come to the castle, so it was bound not to let him or the little boy die before he saw the black shadow, so he saw that the coffin might just be a trick for others.

As soon as he thought of this, his spirits were lifted, he staggered to his feet, and the crowd who wanted to beat him saw him suddenly get up, and thought that he wanted to resist, and the guy in his hand was even more unscrupulous, Xu Shiying not only did not feel pain, but grinned, and a gap appeared on his forehead and eyebrows.

Ignoring the beatings of the crowd, holding on to his tired body, forgetting the fear and anxiety in his heart, even if the road under his feet turned into a cliff at some point, and he walked above the cliff like a tightrope like a flat ground.

After figuring out some key points, Xu Shiying gradually overcame the fear in his heart, and the person who could continue to work at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night was very bold in himself, and he did not fall off because he walked in the sky, which also confirmed some of his guesses.

In the castle, in a room by the window, two beautiful maids opened the curtains, a woman was lazily lying on a crystal chaise longue, a man with a grimace mask was half-kneeling in front of the woman, and a little boy was lying next to the man who was tied with a rope to prevent him from escaping, and the little boy had no wound on his chest, except that he was still asleep and lay there quietly, his appearance was like jade, his good-looking eyelashes moved and there were signs of awakening, and he shook for a while, and the little boy did not wake up, and it seemed that he was still asleep.

However, the small flutter of eyelashes proved that he was awake, and when the black shadow carried him on the road, he had actually woken up, and the little boy did not dare to open his eyes, and at this moment his heart was full of regret, for the sake of two hundred oceans, he almost lost his little life!

The black shadow knelt on the ground, his legs and feet were numb to the point of being unconscious, he had been kneeling for half an hour, he didn't dare to raise his head, the woman lying on the crystal chair was an unattainable existence for him, and there must not be the slightest disrespect.

The maid handed over a glass of red wine, and the woman lying on the crystal chair took it with her jade hand, shook the wine glass elegantly and looked out the window, opened her cherry mouth and took a sip, looking at the kneeling black shadow and said lightly: "Get up!" ”

Hearing this, the black shadow stood up tremblingly, his legs and feet were numb and weak, but he did not dare to massage it with his hands, he was afraid of causing the woman's unhappiness, so he bent over and stood respectfully; "The man has been brought, what to do next, please tell the king!"

"Find a place, put things away, and wait for him to pick them up!" The woman moved her feet like white jade, and the red lace dressing gown she was wearing was sexy and sultry as her body floated to reveal two white thighs.

"Your Majesty, do you think that he, who refuses shortcuts, will be able to pass through the layers of levels and come here?" The dark shadow stared out the window into the depths of the clouds and mist, as if he saw something.

"If you can't come, then add a fresh bone to the White Bone Tower!"

The woman drank the wine in her glass, and the twilight quietly fell, and a waning moon hung in the sky to illuminate the whole earth, first of which was the castle of Zobla, which rose in the light of the bright moonlight and raised a white mist like a fairyland, and gradually the castle revealed its true face.

This is a thousand-foot-high castle made of bones, the area of the castle is roughly estimated to be tens of thousands of square meters, and it looks like a majestic bone tower from a distance.

The castle is made of bones, the blood remaining on the bones is still dripping down, the land around the castle is dyed red with blood, the soil is soft like a swamp in the rainforest, a few birds fly over the castle, as if time has stopped staying in the air and motionless, a moonlight shines on the birds, not even screaming, a few birds are stripped of flesh, into a pile of white bones and fall, adding a few white bones to the castle.

The woman walked out of the castle with her glass in hand, followed closely by two maids, the shadow standing to her right to protect her, and the woman looked up at the moon in the night light; "The moon is dark and the wind is high on the night of killing, it's quite appropriate, isn't it?"

The maid didn't dare to speak, and the black shadow was even more subconsciously far away from the woman, the woman's voice was as gentle as the moonlight, but the words she said made people feel cold like ten thousand years of ice, and the bone castle behind her set off a little gloomy.

The woman came out barefoot, and she didn't feel cold, shaking the wine in the cup, looking at the clouds and mist in front of her calmly and indifferently, even a sneaky shadow behind her failed to attract her attention, the wine of the toon moisturized the internal organs, a drop of red wine was left along the lips, and the woman stretched out her bright red tongue to moisten her lips, quietly waiting for something to happen.

Countless pairs of bloody hands stretched out from the ground in the clouds and mist, these hands were uneven in length, but there was only one goal, that is, to drag Xu Shiying's body, and a scarlet mouth grew out of the palm of his hand, and he bit at the flesh and blood on his body. And he kept scratching his scalp, and with each scratch, a piece of skin slipped off his body, and soon no part of his body was intact, and this scene can only be described as eerie.

An eyeless paper figure emerged from the clouds, picked up the skin that fell on the ground and pasted it on his body, and through piecing together the paper man had his own skin, except for the lack of eyes, he was alive and well Xu Shiying without eyes.

The paper man was not satisfied with this, and the humanized cheek raiser seemed to be thinking about something, and soon the paper man understood what it was missing, a pair of eyes, so he aimed at Xu Shiying, who was mechanized and tickling, with stiff legs, the skin on his body was not adaptable, and he walked very stiffly, and his legs seemed to weigh as much as a thousand pounds.

Stepping out of his legs and walking, I really want the zombies in the movie, one by one the bloody hands smelled the breath of Xu Shiying, and grabbed the paper man, but when the bloody hand grabbed the paper man, the bloody hands merged into the paper man's body, and the skin attached to the paper man gradually merged with the bloody hand into the body, as if the skin grew from the paper man.

The pale cheeks were rosy and smooth because of the human skin, and after the godless paper man adapted, he behaved more and more like a person, walked in front of Xu Shiying, pierced his chest with one hand, grabbed the heart and wanted to pull it out, Xu Shiying, who was trapped in the dead loop, woke up because of the stinging pain, grabbed the palm of the paper man, broke his arm with a force, and the paper man let out a miserable scream.

As he woke up, the clouds cleared, revealing a path paved with cobblestones, and Xu Shiying walked up calmly, not caring at all that the left side of his chest had been eaten by bloody hands, leaving only ribs, which looked particularly oozing.

This soft stone road leads straight to the looming castle in front of him, he doesn't know how long this road is, but he must go down, thinking of the danger just now, Xu Shiying is very glad that he found a clue to the way out, and the paper man has helped him a lot, otherwise he is still trapped in that place, the flesh and blood are swallowed by many bloody hands, and the heart is taken by the paper man for himself, and then his eyes are deducted, and he becomes a living person instead.

Escaping death didn't make him retreat, because the moment he entered the dream, he knew that there was no way back.

On the other side of the clouds, the woman standing at the gate of the castle had a smile on her lips, and a look of anticipation flashed on her face. The black shadow who had originally lowered his head raised his head suddenly, revealing a look of disbelief, he didn't expect that an unarmed mortal would be able to come here through layers of levels, no wonder the king paid special attention to him, so it was.

Inside the castle, a weak figure slipped into the houses to look for it, looking back out the window from time to time, whether the woman and the black shadow had noticed him, this person was the little boy who woke up in a coma.

The moment the black shadow grabbed him, the little boy knew that it was going to be bad, so when the black shadow hit him in the stomach, he fainted very cooperatively, and did not dare to wake up until the woman and the black shadow went out, the rope tied to his hand was not strong, but for a seven or eight-year-old child, it was still very troublesome.

But there is no end to the road, just when he couldn't get rid of the rope with all his might, he happened to sense something underneath, and reached out to find it, it was a small Swiss army knife that he had stolen from play, and the knife was in his crotch and was not found, and this also gave him hope of escape.

The little boy took out the knife with difficulty, used the knife to cut the rope, and ran away when no one was paying attention to him, his hearing was excellent, although the black shadow closed his eyes when he carried him, he recorded the number of steps of the black shadow, but he did not choose to run away, but stayed to find the black box.

He remembered that the black box had been placed in a house by a black shadow, and he did not know what this house looked like, and there were too many rooms in this castle, and in such a short time, he had already rummaged through four or five rooms, which were separated by messy debris, and cobwebs everywhere, which must have been due to the laziness of the maids in the castle.

The little boy closed the door and continued to search, he didn't notice, when he closed the door, a pair of red eyes lit up in the room, spitting out a seeping red core, the ground sounded the sound of tearing and pulling, and a black shadow crawled out along the crack in the door below, slowly driving in the direction of the little boy.

The hard work paid off, just when he found the eighth house, he finally saw the black box that Xu Shiying said, the black box was quietly placed on the long golden table in the house, the little boy did not rush forward, he carefully observed the surroundings, and picked up the stones on the ground to test whether there was any danger.

As the son of an archaeologist, he needs to know that where there is a treasure, there is danger, and people often forget the potential danger because of excitement at the moment they see the treasure, so they lose their lives and die with hatred.

The little boy threw three or four stones in succession, but there was no alarm response, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, and cautiously walked to the golden table, and was about to pick up the black box, when a voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

Cluck, cluck!
