Chapter 65: The Origin of the God-King
A chill rose behind me when I looked at them, and when I looked back, I saw the demons with teeth and claws rushing towards me, and I immediately turned and ran forward.
But when I ran to those faces, I slowly stopped, because those faces were taken off, and behind the faces were familiar faces.
Baizhou, Lao Zhong, Dongfang, Liu Ran, Qianqian, and Inspector Wang, they all appeared from behind the face, and when the last face was taken off, I actually saw myself.
Looking at this self, I felt like I was standing in front of a mirror, my face was sluggish and stiff, as if it was a puppet, without any expression, either crying or laughing, not angry or cowardly.
I walked towards myself, trying to find something special from this face that I had been looking at for more than ten years, but I searched and searched, and found only the most familiar appearance of myself.
However, I am not like this, I know that I am not such a dull person, I also have my own vivid expressions, vivid thoughts, I am no different from them.
But thinking like this, those people were slowly leaving, leaving me and myself alone in the same place.
At this moment, the evil ghost came running again, and I hurriedly put on a mask for myself to scare it away, but the evil ghost looked at it and suddenly laughed.
That smile was different from humans, it seemed to laugh at my stupidity, I didn't have any expression, and I pretended to be able to scare others, like a clown who amused himself.
The dream seemed to have a profound meaning, and when I woke up from that laughter, I was still thinking about what I had just dreamed about.
When I looked up again, I saw a bright light coming in from the window of the hallway, and it was close to noon, and I stretched, but I didn't know where he had gone.
When I called Lao Zhong and them, I pushed open the door of the ward, walked in, and looked at a person lying on each of the two beds in the ward.
When Chen Haidong saw me come in, he greeted me, looked at the girl next to him, and asked me what was going on.
She hasn't woken up yet, but it's a miracle that she can save her life, and the doctors gave her a lot of anesthetic last night, and even if the operation is successful, I'm afraid she will need to lie down for a few more hours to allow the wound to heal naturally.
Looking at the girl on the bed, I didn't know how to tell Chen Haidong her identity, because I was also curious, how could she appear here again, and who told her that I was here?
Or I should believe what she said that day in the mountains, she has my memories and will naturally find my place.
Thinking so, I smiled wryly again, and found a chair to sit between them, between the two beds.
At this time, the voice of the old bell came from the mobile phone, "Hey, how is it at the hospital?" ”
"The thing has been taken away, and that person is Inspector Wang, what about you?"
Lao Zhong was silent for a while, and then said, "No, this person is also pretending, the real Inspector Wang has been killed, when we opened that room, we found a dark room, where Inspector Wang's body was found!" ”
This result was both reasonable and unexpected, and the words he asked me when I first met this man seem more meaningful now.
I replied, "If it's okay, you guys should come back first!" There was a man in the hospital, we had seen it in the mountains! ”
After saying this, I hung up the phone, looked at her lying on the bed with her eyes closed, and inexplicably remembered the days when I was at school.
I don't know when I started paying so much attention to her, as if I didn't know why she was here, why I had a longing in my heart, imagining all kinds of possibilities in my life in the future.
Colorful, but also adventurous, so separating the distance between us, I had to jump a long distance.
"Hey, what are you thinking?"
My musings were interrupted by a voice that suddenly appeared next to me, and Chen Haidong got up and waved his hand in front of me, showing a puzzled look.
When I saw him like that, I suddenly remembered something, and reached out to touch my face, as if I could vaguely find something.
Just like the way my face was painted that day, I felt very stiff, and hurriedly asked Chen Haidong, "Do you see anything wrong with my face?" ”
Chen Haidong is even more strange, looking at his extremely natural facial expression, it reminds me of the self in my dreams.
He looked me up and down, then shook his head, "Nothing special except that his face is a little pale, I think you should get a good night's sleep!" ”
Hearing his answer, I touched my face with my hand again, and the stiffness immediately faded, and I was relieved.
It's true that I haven't had a good rest for a few days, but the dream just now made me reluctant to think about resting anymore.
When I introduced Qianqian to Chen Haidong, I hesitated to use the word "classmate", but when he asked why she came here and came to me on purpose, I didn't reply.
"How well do you know her?"
I shook my head, and when it came to knowing that I really couldn't answer, or what I knew about her, it wasn't something I could say in a few words.
Just as we were talking without a word, the door of the ward was suddenly opened, and a nurse came over, saying that she was going to change the dressing for Qianqian.
The nurse was followed by Baizhou, who pulled me out when he came in and said that he had a few words to talk to me, but his eyes looked at Qianqian slightly.
I don't know if this is because I think too much, because I feel that Baizhou's eyes are full of hostility towards her.
After walking out with him, we sat on the chairs, Baizhou took out a paper bag and handed it to me, I looked at him, but he didn't explain but motioned for me to open it.
I ripped open the seal of the bag and several photos fell out of it, I hurriedly reached out and took the photos in my hand, and found that there were some stone fragments on it.
I looked at them one by one, and among the rubble, I found several coffins, and there were strange vine inscriptions engraved on them, which looked no different from what we found in the ancient tomb.
In the last few photos, I also found a person, who was in his forties, wearing a long shirt made of coarse cloth and an armed belt on his upper body, looking very old.
The outline of this person's face is very blurred, and in the aperture of the lens, only his upper body can be seen lying on a sarcophagus, and the sarcophagus is also engraved with the vine script just now.
Could it be that this was shot from different angles? I thought to myself, and asked Baizhou where these things came from.
"I found it from my junior brother's room when I was tracking down the murderer!"
Hearing him say this, I was even more puzzled, could it be that Li Sansi also had something to do with these vine inscriptions, could it be that he had also entered that tomb.
Following this clue, I think that if I can follow them and trace down the deceased, I may be able to decipher the contents of these words.
But looking at Baizhou, he didn't seem to understand Fuji Wen either, and he didn't even know anything about the photos in his junior brother's hands.
Speaking of which, I thought of Lao Zhong again, and the place he said seemed to coincide with the content on the picture, maybe I could ask him.
After putting the photos away, I said, "Lao Zhong seems to have seen the contents of these photos, and when he comes back, I will ask him what he might find." ”
It's not sure if these photos are Li Sansi's own or someone else gave them to him, so we can't tell if there is a direct relationship with him, but even if there is, we can't verify it now.
There was something in my heart, so I didn't say more, but just as I was about to leave, I suddenly found that Baizhou's expression was a little wrong, and immediately asked more, "What's wrong with you." ”
He glanced sideways at me, "You already know about the God-King Mask!" ”
God-King Mask?!
This is something that the murderer told me on the phone, and it is also the reason why they seized the blueprints of the clan tomb.
I nodded, "Their purpose is for the God King Mask, what the hell is this?" ”
Baizhou took a deep breath and began to talk to me, "The God-King Mask is related to a prophecy, it was a prophecy hundreds of years ago, and the prophecy said that the last person to find the God-King Mask would bring disaster to the world......"
The origin of everything is too ancient, but there is always such a group of people who guard it and pass it on from generation to generation, those ancient myths and legends.
In ancient times thousands of years ago, people used fire to discover many powers in the night, some of which could be accepted by people and used to protect the night, while others were not, they were greedy, murderous, and bloodthirsty.
In the midst of the chaos, the flames divide the darkness and balance the power, and the God-King Mask, discovered by humans from the underground abyss, is a special material, and those who bring it can gain the power to control the undead.
When people discovered it, they recorded it in the Divine Descent Diagram and offered it to Emperor Xuanyuan, but the Emperor did not use its powers, because the mask also chooses the owner.
However, many years later, the God-King Mask was acquired by a warrior who used its power to stop the undead and imprison them forever underground.
The warrior was proclaimed Lord of the Realm, and in imitation of the mask of the god-king, various totems were developed to ward off evil spirits.
But things are far from the end of the story, because the underground world is constantly expanding, and one day, they will return to the human world through other means.
And the owner of the God-King Mask will also die one day, and at that time, how will people fight against them?
In order to prevent all this from coming, the Lord of the Earth Realm seeks to change the world, and finally finds a huge abyss that leads directly to the underground.
That's where the God-King's Mask was found, and he asked the Emperor to order the construction of a city there to prevent the undead from climbing up from the abyss.
The Emperor agreed to this request, so he sent the Demon Riders to guard the place.
In this way, the Lord of the Earth Realm spent his life, and before he died, he was afraid that the God-King Mask would be used by the wicked, so he sealed most of his power.
After that, another thousand years passed, and the god-king mask was guarded by generations of people, and its power was constantly weakened, because it was no longer used, and there was no one who could become its master.
And that prophecy came from a prophet who had been to the abyss and had seen the city built by the emperor, so he left such a prophecy.
