Chapter 33: Temptation
Inside the coffin was a jade object that looked like an urn.
"Corpse collection coffin?" After seeing this object, Xiao Mo suddenly recognized it, because he had seen this object on the wooden cabinet on the third floor of the supermarket.
Hearing Xiao Mo mention this name, Li Shuai hurriedly lowered his head, and after a closer look, the objects inside were indeed very similar to the "corpse collection coffin" worth 200 consumption points.
The old man also glanced into the coffin at this time, and then heard him sigh and say:
"You're lucky, you guys actually opened a 200 cost point item."
"What the hell is this for?" Wang Zi asked suspiciously.
"As the name suggests, it is specially used to collect dead bodies."
"Collect the dead? Are you kidding me? What is there to collect for dead bodies, isn't that psychopathic! β
Seeing that Wang Zi misunderstood what he meant, the old man was impatient and explained:
"When you experience supernatural events, haven't you met people who make you particularly regretful and reluctant?
Of course, I am only the one who died in the incident, because of the special circumstances at that time, or the special circumstances, you couldn't even collect their bodies, and some of them didn't even get to see the last face, but only asked about the death from other people's mouths.
And what this coffin can do is to recall the bodies of those people for you to mourn and bury. Not only that, but the coffin also has the ability of the undertaker, that is, to put on the makeup of the deceased who were recalled by it, and to wear neat and clean clothes.
As for the more specific, you'll see for yourself when the time comes. β
The old man's explanation made Li Shuai extremely excited, and he couldn't wait to take that thing into his arms. Seeing Li Shuai's appearance, Xiao Mo glanced at Li Shuai with a strange face, and asked uncertainly:
"You want to keep those 100 consumption points, maybe you just wait until you have enough 200 points in the future, and then buy this thing, right?"
"yes!" Li Shuai nodded noncommittally:
"I thought this thing might have that ability. I didn't expect to be guessed by a handsome guy. β
As he spoke, Li Shuai called Wang Zi over, and the two of them carefully pushed open the lid of the coffin, and then took out the crystal clear little jade coffin. As for Xiao Mo, he looked at the old man with a very suspicious gaze in the process, maybe he felt something, and the old man's gaze also fell on his face.
"Are you suspicious of me for anything?"
"Not really."
Xiao Mo's gaze remained unchanged:
"But I wonder again, how do you know what that coffin is capable of? In addition, almost all the buildings in this camp are fortress-style buildings, so why is this the only one in the style of a medieval castle? β
Xiao Mo threw out two questions, but the old man only replied to him lightly:
"It's this handbook that tells me these things."
After speaking. The old man took out a small book of seven or eight pages similar to an atlas from his arms, but he didn't hand it over to Xiao Mo, but just shook it quickly in front of Xiao Mo's eyes.
"What is this booklet ......?"
"Prop Function Manual."
"Props? Just like the items in the game, with the ability to assist the player? β
"Almost, you might interpret it as a curse that gives you humane benefits."
"Can you lend me a look?"
Xiao Mo stretched out his hand and curiously wanted to see the introduction manual, but the old man didn't buy his account, the old man shook his head and simply refused:
"As you can see. It's not very convenient. β
After speaking, the old man put the manual back into his arms, and then looked at Xiao Mo with a gloomy face with a smile.
Xiao Mo can be regarded as having served this old man, and he has no temper at all when the old man is boring. I don't know what this old man wants to do, how he turned into hob meat as soon as he arrived at them.
"I found out that you old man is really going to be idle." Xiao Mo complained about the old man, then turned around and ignored him again, and returned his attention to the "treasure chest".
After Li Shuai and Wang Zi took out the jade coffin inside. The chest closes automatically. Xiao Mo threw off his arms and pulled hard, but the lid was covered very tightly, and his actions were all useless.
Looked at. The old man reminded in a calm voice:
"This thing is for people like you who have gone through the Curse Transition, and the key you have left is the only thing in the world that can unlock it.
So don't be stingy with the use of the key, because what is opened can help you more or less. β
Xiao Mo squatted down, holding the key with a slight hesitation, but in the end, he threw the remaining keys one by one into the gap that could only be put into the key, until all of them were thrown in.
At the same time, its tightly closed lid slowly opened again.
Li Shuai and Wang Zi also cast their eyes at this time, and they were both looking forward to what would be opened this time, and what kind of surprises would be waiting for them.
The lid on it was finally fully opened, revealing something similar to the remote control of the Thunderbolt from the inside, about the length and width of a palm, and an antenna about ten centimeters long stood at the top.
"I've seen this thing, it seems to be called a "hazard alert", and the price is 150 consumption points. β
Wang Zi recognized the object inside, apparently this item had also appeared on the third floor of the supermarket.
"Hazard alerts?" Li Shuai repeated in a strange tone.
Xiao Mo took it out from inside, and after observing it, he suddenly had a feeling of being a cheater. Because these keys are all things that Zhang Tianyi and Lao Gao worked hard to get together, they are full of hope for life for I don't know how many people.
One event, or even several events, can be obtained, and it can be said that these keys have symbolized their desire for life in some kind of chengdΓΉ. But now, these keys are thrown into the coffin-like box one by one by him as if they are worthless, and finally these two so-called compensation rewards are issued, which has to be said to be a great irony.
Thinking of this, Xiao Mo suddenly laughed, because he didn't need to complain about Zhang Tianyi and them, because no matter whether the key was important or not, none of them participated in the collection, to put it bluntly, they were all pure beneficiaries, so no matter what compensation was, it was better to have than not.
And looking at the two items they obtained, it was not completely chicken, at least the corpse coffin made them very excited, because they could finally do something for these dead friends.
In addition, the danger warning device in his hand should also have some kind of special ability.
"What's the use of this?" Xiao Mo asked the old man.
"If there is a danger to your life in your area, it will alert you by calling the police. It only uses danger as a condition for it to call the police, not that it will scream if there are ghosts around.
It will give you two hazard alerts per event, and when you run out of numbers, it won't call again. β
"That's what the manual says?"
"Why else do you think I would know?" The old man still looks like hob meat.
Xiao Mo's intuition has always been very accurate, he thinks that this old man must know a lot of secrets about the curse, but how to make the old man speak obediently?
After thinking about it, Xiao Mo suddenly found a way that might make the old man speak, the old man had many secrets, and he also had a lot of secrets, so he took off the mirror on his back and fell heavily to the ground.
The old man had noticed the things Xiao Mo was carrying on his back before, and when he saw Xiao Mo take it down, he asked:
"What is this?"
Xiao Mo didn't turn the mirror around, and pretended to be unfathomable:
"It's also an item with supernatural powers."
"Don't bluff me there." The old man shook his head and did not believe it, and he said:
"All the props sold in this camp are shipped from me, do you think I will have anything I haven't seen before?"
"Where did all the items with paranormal abilities come from? Could it be that you made all those props? Xiao Mo seemed to have heard an extremely shocking news.
"You little bunny is talking to me!"
The old man suddenly realized Xiao Mo's intentions, but he still answered this question:
"How can I have such a powerful ability, to put it bluntly, I am just a slave of this curse, and I will do whatever the curse tells me to do. Before you enter this room, you must have noticed that there is a room next door, and that room is where those props were born.
However, the props that have not been put on the shelves for consumption are all incapable props, and even if they are obtained, they are just decorations. β
Hearing the old man say this, Xiao Mo's eyes narrowed, and then he turned the mirror to aim at the old man. The moment he was pointed at in front of the mirror, the old man was shocked, retreated in horror, and begged Xiao Mo to turn the mirror over.
Xiao Mo held the mirror and stepped aside vigilantly, and then asked coldly at the old man:
"Only ghosts are afraid of this mirror, what are you...... It's a human and a ghost! (To be continued......)
