Text Chapter 21 Dawn
As Lin Lingling's words landed, on the palm of his hand, the fist-sized lantern suddenly spun rapidly...
I was shocked, it turned out .... She's not an idle person either?! I also advised her to leave quickly. It's so mouthy... It seems that I am indeed a piece of waste in her eyes.....
I was very close to Lin Lingling, so I could clearly see the wick of the lantern.... is a gray-black strip object, with a pointed shiny shell on the upper part ....
God, the more I look at it, the more it feels like.... A finger!?
I looked at Lin Lingling in amazement..... How is it so familiar? That's right! It is very similar to Uncle Li's practice of exorcising female ghosts! And she also has a spooky lantern! Don't.... She and Uncle Li are out of the same house?
"Boom! Boom! Boom....!"
The female corpse jumped stiffly towards us with her arms outstretched, red liquid dripping down her fingertips, and her unrecognizable face was stained with blood. I know.... It was the blood on the iron pillar and Old Uncle Li's body, and the trembling palms were clenched into fists.
The red light shot out of the lantern, and I felt the temperature around me rise a little bit....
"Huh!"
A red fireball erupted from the lantern and shot straight at the female corpse.
"Boom!"
With a deafening bang, the fireball suddenly exploded, and the cave suddenly became as bright as day. The dirt above my head crackled and fell...
The woman's mangled body burned violently, her shoulders were rotten into large holes, and her arms were broken, revealing black half of the bones.
I could vaguely smell a scorching stench in the air.
Thick black smoke enveloped the woman's corpse, and even though her body had become shattered, she continued to jump forward with her unrecognizable head held high.
"Be careful, there's bad luck in it." I couldn't help but remind her.
Lin Lingling nodded slightly, and dipped his finger lightly under the lantern, gesturing in the air.
Where the jade finger is drawn, it leaves vermilion traces, which gradually condense into red marks. And the imprint center is the word "order" that I have seen before!
"Seal the ghost, knot!"
Lin Lingling snorted lightly, took out a piece of yellow paper with his right hand, and the red mark ran towards the advancing female corpse as if it had spirituality, and it was violently spread like a spider web and wrapped the female corpse tightly in it.
The female corpse was covered with red marks, and as soon as she jumped up, she was firmly attached to the ground, and her progress finally stopped.
"Click, click!"
The flames on her body continued to burn, and the joints on the female corpse suddenly broke, and her body fell into the flames.
“.... It turned out to be a thousand-year-old female corpse. It's good to have a sigil. Lin Lingling said with a slight face.
I couldn't help but exclaim in my heart, this girl is so powerful, even the female corpse that Uncle Li can't do can be controlled so easily.
Lin Lingling noticed my surprised gaze and said lightly, "Do you still want to stay here?" I don't want to be in this place anymore. Then he walked away.
"Oh," I hurriedly followed her.
"See? This is the task of beating the watchman. ”
"What do you do?" I finally asked this question that I had been holding back for a long time.
"Well, who made the watchman obliged to explain to the newcomer... I'll tell you about it today. ”
Lin Lingling pondered for a moment and said softly, "To be honest, I'm not sure what we're doing. ”
"What are you kidding?!" My eyes widened in disbelief, "You don't even know what to do, and you're letting me join?"
Lin Lingling frowned and glared at me, and said, "I only know that we watchmen belong to the organization of Dawn. The boss will continue to arrange our tasks, as a watchman we only need to complete it, and we can't ask anything else. ”
"What happens if the mission fails?" I asked curiously.
"Failure of the mission will deduct the trust value, once your trust value is zero....." Lin Lingling's face suddenly showed a solemn look, "You will die." ”
"Death?!"
"That's right, you're going to die violently...."
"That's an exaggeration, isn't it?" My heart was shocked, and I frowned and said, "Then why do you want to join?"
Lin Lingling's eyes were blazing and said, "Because the dawn will give the beating people extraordinary benefits...."
"Extraordinary?" I blinked, "Money?" Or is it something else?"
"A hundred times more precious than money..."Lin Lingling glanced at me, "For example, life..."
"Life?!" I opened my mouth wide in surprise, "How is this possible?" The organs of the dead will all fail, and the body will become hard, and even if they are resurrected, they will probably be zombies...
"Can they bring people back to life?!"
"To some extent, yes..."Lin Lingling said in a low voice, "As long as you promise to serve Dawn and sign a soul contract... There's nothing that Daybreak can't do. It is only a trivial matter to let the dead have another life, but if you disobey the dawn, everything around you will be against you, choking to death after eating, choking on saliva, and even being struck by lightning when you go out.... Dawn... Take charge of the Heavenly Dao. ”
.......
I fell into deep thought, before Gu Ping said that Uncle Li hanged himself in the Yang Forest, and his son was gone, could it be that Uncle Li agreed to sign a contract with Dawn before he died, and then became a watchman? In this way, all the mysteries of Uncle Li make sense.
As for Daybreak, a terrifying and dangerous organization... I've never heard of it. It can bring people back to life, and it can manipulate providence... That's an exaggeration, isn't it?
I asked, "Then why did the watchman complete the task given by Daybreak?"
Lin Lingling said: "Every watchman has a certain trust value, and only by constantly completing tasks can we accumulate more trust points." The higher your trust score, the more magical treasures you'll be able to exchange for at Daybreak, not to mention money. Once you fail the task within the allotted time, and your trust value drops to zero, you will be wiped out...."
"If there is such a great danger, why should anyone become a watchman?" I asked, confused. The watchman risked his life to work for Daybreak, and once he failed, he would be wiped out by Daybreak, this rule is undoubtedly very unfair to the watchman. Uncle Li may have died because he failed the mission and his credit value was zero.
"Because..."Lin Lingling's expression was a little heavy, "Every watchman is forced to a dead end in real life, and dawn can satisfy their wishes, which is often something that the real world can't even think of." Dawnbreak will look for those who are gifted and who become watchmen for their own purposes. ”
I nodded slightly, if I said that, it seems that the girl in front of me is not very happy in life...
"And what kind of tasks does Dawn usually order?"
"It's hard to say. Lin Lingling frowned, "There are all kinds of strange things, even some inexplicable tasks. It could be to get you a treasure, or kill an evil cult... The purpose of my visit this time is to kill this thousand-year-old zombie, and.... Accept a newcomer. ”
I was stunned and asked suspiciously, "Dawn is such a mysterious organization... How can the watchman accept the task and get in touch with Daybreak?"
Lin Lingling's eyes lit up, probably thinking that I was saying this to have an idea about becoming a watchman, "The ghost lamp treasures in the hands of watchmen, although they have different functions, can allow us to get in touch with the organization in our sleep... As for the location of the organization.. No one knows. ”
"That's right." I asked, "What the hell are you talking about the ghost lamp treasure?" ”
"The Ghost Lantern Treasure is made from the place where the evil things are most condensed during their lifetime, and it is the most important treasure that every watchman must have. And each ghost lamp treasure has its own unique role. Lin Lingling said, "For example, the Dark Glass Lamp in your hand can show the danger ahead, and it can be painted with oil charms, which is a partial auxiliary treasure, while my Ghost Luan Lantern is an offensive treasure." ”
"But it's worth mentioning..."Lin Lingling stroked the lantern in his arms, "The role of each ghost lamp is constantly being developed, that is... They may also have many unknown roles. ”
"For example... Lighting?" I jokingly said that I wanted to liven up the atmosphere.
But Lin Lingling looked at me with a serious face: "Some ghost lamps can be spiritual, and every watchman must cherish his own ghost lamps." ”
I looked away in embarrassment .... It was more informative than I could have imagined, and what she told me was so bizarre. What is the origin of this mysterious organization?
A little light appeared in front of the cave, and finally came out! Outside the cave is a patch of green.
Lin Lingling walked over and stood at the entrance of the cave and looked back at me, as if waiting for something...
"I'm sorry... I don't want to be a watchman. I tried to squeeze out a smile, "I just want to be a normal person..."
Even if Dawn is a powerful organization, I don't want to get any benefit from it, and it's good to have enough to eat and drink. Watchmen also have to risk their lives to complete the mission... I don't think it's necessary...
The voice landed, and the delicate body beside him trembled slightly...
"You deserve to be a waste!" Lin Lingling was a little annoyed, "What do you think I'm saying so much to you for?!"
"What's in it for you to bring me in?" I said in a deep voice.
"Don't you understand? I didn't force you to join..."Lin Lingling glanced at the blue sky outside the cave, "It was Providence that chose you. Each watchman has his own Treasure Piercing, and if the owner falls, the Noble Noble will lose its spirituality. Since the glass cup can be used normally in your hands, you are the destined next watchman. ”
"What are these words..."I couldn't help frowning, feeling that the girl in front of me was a little nonsense, "Uncle Li just entrusted me to bring it to the Curtain Yang Forest, and didn't say that I should be appointed as a watchman." ”
"I thought you were a fellow traveler.... Since you don't want to, okay then. Lin Lingling said coldly, a cold light flashed in his eyes, "If you dare to reveal half a word of what I told you, it is to leak the secret of heaven, and you will definitely die in three days." ”
Lin Lingling's face didn't have the slightest hint of joking, and the solemn look made me a little scared.
"Don't worry, I see.," I walked past her slowly, "I'm sorry for wasting so much of your time..."
"If you change your mind, just tap the lamp at 12 a.m., and the organization will send someone to find you." After Lin Lingling finished speaking, he walked away without looking back.
"Got it." I turned and left, such a strange and dangerous organization, who wants to join...
As far as the eye can see, there are withered yellow woods. It turns out that this cave was dug in the mountain, and in the ravine is a patchwork of houses, and the smoke is rising, a peaceful scene, this should be the inferior ditch.
The autumn breeze was blowing, and I stood on a large rock greedily breathing in the fresh air.
I've found the Purple Tomb Moss, and then I just need to follow the main road to return to Muyang Village.
