Volume 2 Tales of the Night Chapter 38 The World in the Mirror
In the front hall of the castle, Donglai Muzhi was still holding a lightsaber, standing in the center of the hall with a shining light like a sun god, but if you look closely, you will find that his face also has a tired look, and there are still fifteen black-clothed people under him, all of whom have their heads bowed and are staring at their shadows intently.
Bai Ye walked into the hall with a mirror, and greeted Donglai Muzhi from a distance, Donglai was surprised: "What? Is your matter solved? ”
Bai Ye said: "It's still a little close, you hold on a little longer." Soon, everything will be over. As he spoke, he kicked the shattered carved mirror to the side and replaced it with the one he was holding.
Under the gaze of the Shadow Pupil, the position where the Ancient Mirror was placed revealed a distinctive half-plane anchor. With a low roar in the white night, a beam of divergent shadows shot out from the pupils of shadows, covering the ancient mirror, and the mirror immediately changed, creating a ripple flower of shadows.
Donglai Muzhi condensed and said: "This is where the ultimate secret of this ancient castle is, right?" Do you want me to go in with you? ”
Bai Ye shook his head and said, "It's a pity that you can't get in." If you walk through here, you'll only be randomly teleported to the rest of the castle. Only those who possess the same power as it can enter. I'm in, be careful. ”
Donglai Muzhi smiled and said, "It's you who should be careful." ”
Bai Ye smiled, turned and stepped into the mirror.
The other side of the mirror, of course, is also a mirror, when Bai Ye stepped out of the mirror, he couldn't help but be stunned, because in front of him was still the antechamber of the ancient castle, the walls full of oil paintings, the shining lights, the high dome and the huge columns, almost no different from before, Bai Ye almost thought that he was reflected back by the mirror space like before.
However, the next moment, Bai Ye knew that he had truly entered another dimension, because there was no Donglai Muzhi here, and when he opened the pupil of shadows, he really discovered the difference between the inner world and the original world.
Under the pupil of shadows, Bai Ye clearly saw that everything around him began to change, whether it was the wall, the ground or the dome, the epidermis began to roll and fall off one after another, and finally dissipated into black smoke, and after the epidermis fell off, all the surface of the entity was quickly covered with a layer of fleshy cornea, like human internal organs, but there was no blood on it, but a layer of disgusting insect body fluids adhered to it. On those membranes, there were places where it began to bulge rhythmically, like something was trying to break out of the cocoon.
The oil paintings on the walls also changed silently, the pictures changed abruptly, all the plants began to wither and fester, the sky and the earth cracked everywhere, and the characters in the paintings all became strange evil spirits, all the pictures were like the end of the world, even the scenery in hell was nothing more than that.
On the floor of the hall, there were two corpses lying on the ground, which Bai Ye recognized at a glance as the two Brasov townspeople he had brought into the castle - Beverly and Koman. Both of these men died at the hands of the Shadow Ghost, and for some reason the bodies were here.
As the white night arrived, the entire space suddenly fell silent, and a second later, an eerie rustling sound came from all around, like countless insects eating leaves. The two corpses on the ground suddenly let out a terrible roar and began to squirm in pain. Koeman's corpse stood up slowly, black blood continued to gush out of his facial features, and shadow energy continued to penetrate the flesh membrane on the ground and enter his body, where the shadow passed, the flesh and bones fell off, and Koeman's face had been distorted by pain.
Bai Ye suddenly realized that this is the process of turning people's souls into shadow ghosts!
Coman suddenly let out an almost crazy scream, and shouted to the white night, "You killed me!" You murderer! His mouth opened to the extreme, revealing the black disgusting flesh inside, and countless insects were wriggling in the flesh, which looked extremely disgusting.
Bai Ye shrugged his shoulders and said, "Although I know that it is pointless to talk to you, I still have to defend myself, the reason why I brought you two in to be cannon fodder is because you want me and my friends to die." People of a heart like you are like a virus in the last days, and I am already very merciful that I did not kill you myself. ”
Before Bai Ye could finish speaking, Coman had already pounced, but Bai Ye's forehead flashed slightly, and a shadow ray had already penetrated Koeman's chest. This attack was nothing to the corpse that was already rotten flesh, but Bai Ye's blow hit the core of the converging shadow energy, and after the blow, the shadow energy flowing like a vein in Koman's body immediately became chaotic, and then dissipated, and Koeman turned into a real piece of rotten meat, and collapsed into a ground with a "snap".
The other Beverly's corpse also moved slowly, but before he could get up, the white night was another ray, and he immediately fell, the shadow power dissipated, and the soul completely dissipated.
After this, Bai Ye looked at the devastated hall again, sighed, and turned to walk deeper into the castle.
White Night didn't have to deliberately look for a target, in the dark, something seemed to be calling and guiding him, which was the direction of the underground warehouse.
In this mirrored half-plane carved out by the power of shadows, the entire castle is covered in a thick film of gray-white rotting flesh, and walking in it is like walking in the esophagus of a disgusting bug. The air was filled with the smell of corruption and despair, and White Night knew that this was the breath of the Ethiopian plane. Along the way, Bai Ye kept recalling the scene before he died in his previous life, and faces kept flashing in front of him: the terrifying king of maggots, Feng Hua, Ji Yunfei and the innocent girl with a ponytail - Luo Jiajia.
"Sobia, the withered plane, and Beelzebub, the king of maggots, in this life, we will finally make a decision!" Bai Ye's heart thought so, and the cold light in his eyes became more and more intense.
Bai Ye tightened his grip on the handle of the "Soul Cutter" and walked towards the depths of the tunnel step by step, the sound of footsteps echoing in the empty darkness, and the "Soul Cutter" would rub against the walls around him from time to time, rubbing and making a harsh sound.
The sound seemed to prick the nerves of the monster in the castle, and the flesh membrane on the surface of the wall burst out, and countless disgusting tentacles stretched out from it, blocking Bai Ye from moving forward, but Bai Ye didn't even look at them, just walked forward quietly, and the tentacles that broke through the wall around him suddenly broke, fell to the ground, and wilted and dried up after a few frantic twists. So he walked all the way, leaving a shriveled tentacle behind him.
It turned out that in silence, the white night had cut off their veins of shadow energy.
Bai Ye walked all the way without hurry, and finally stood in front of the two iron doors of the underground warehouse.
Bai Ye took a deep breath and pushed the door open, but the scene inside the door was beyond his expectations. Finally, it is no longer a projection of the castle, but a huge hall of great expanse. The floor and walls of this place are free of those disgusting flesh films, and the entire hall is paved with steel. In the center of the hall, a huge magic circle with a diameter of ten meters is engraved, and there is a special insect body fluid flowing in the magic circle, which should be the same thing as the "Seal Shadow Enchantment" engraved in the attic of the ancient castle.
The trajectory of the circle is extremely obscure, and even Bai Ye, who has dabbled in the knowledge of the circle, cannot understand it at all. In the center of the circle, there was a huge shadow light cluster, almost exactly the same as the shadow origin that the Shadow Prince gave to Bai Ye, but the size of the light cluster completely exceeded Bai Ye's imagination, just like a black sun burning in the sky!
Four strange tentacles stretched out from the circle, wrapped around the black sun, the surface of the tentacles undulated, constantly sucking the energy of the shadow from the black sun, and then spreading through the circle to the entire space, but despite their continuous sucking, for the black sun, the energy lost was like a drop of water in the sea, insignificant.
Continue past the circle until you reach the end of the hall, where a large metal chair is placed, surrounded by savage-style torches that reflect the throne.
On the chair sat a beautiful woman, leaning back in a languid posture with one hand on her chin, and in the other hand holding a high-legged metal cup, the liquid of which was as red as blood. And she shook the liquid in the goblet while silently watching the white night approach.
Seeing this woman's face, Bai Ye's expression became very exciting: "It's actually you?" ”
The woman smiled, smiling charmingly: "Surprised? I thought you'd think of it! After saying that, she threw away the wine glass, slowly stood up, walked straight to Bai Ye, and stared into Bai Ye's eyes.
This woman has blonde hair, almost as tall as Bai Ye, and her figure is bumpy and attractive. However, that face is very familiar, she is Monica!
Bai Ye frowned and said, "Others may be suspicious of you, but I have never, because I have observed you very carefully before, you are definitely a real human being, it is impossible to be a monster in Ethiopia!" Even now, I'm 100% sure that you're a human and not possessed by monsters. ”
"You're special." Monica smiled sewitchingly: "I am very shocked that a human from another time and space actually knows Ethiopia. However, as much as you seem to know everything, you are too weak to comprehend the abilities of higher beings, let alone the secrets of the soul. In the Endless Plane, there are many beings who can manipulate souls, such as me. As long as you pay a sufficient price, it is not impossible to give your soul and change your body. ”
As she spoke, she turned around in front of the white night, her posture elegant and seductive: "How is it?" My new body is beautiful, isn't it? I am very happy with my new body. Let me introduce myself again, I'm Bensaba, a corrupt parasitic lady from Ethiopia. ”
"Ben Saba? I see, it's a soul takeaway! Bai Ye suddenly realized.
