Chapter 781: Empty Coffin
I hurriedly ran forward three or four meters, and when I walked just now, the ghoul had already pulled away from me three or four meters.
With a gunshot rang out, the bullet hit something behind me, and I didn't bother to care, so I came up to the ghoul and stabbed out the blue steel sword.
In fact, I had long expected that even under the weight of star power, the ghoul covered in a hard shell should still be able to move, but when it really avoided the blade again, my heart was still on fire.
Why is this thing so difficult!
I don't think my master had as much effort to suppress the ghouls as I do now.
However, at this time, the ghoul seemed to have a lot of effort to move quickly, and after avoiding my green steel sword, it began to move towards the place that was not covered by the star power, but the speed slowed down significantly, and I followed up with another sword, and it flashed again and dodged.
I couldn't stab the ghoul, but the next day the witch was getting closer and closer to me, and I didn't care if he could understand me, so I shouted in his direction, "Don't come!" ”
Wu Lin ran towards me, shouting words I didn't understand, but the next day Dawu didn't mean to stop.
If he ran into the area covered by star power, even if the ghouls didn't do anything to him, the heavy star power would be able to crush his old arms and legs.
But he finally rushed in.
When one of his feet stepped on the edge of the star force field, a small part of the ghoul had already rushed out of the star force field, and I was close behind the ghouls.
I think that at that moment, the ghoul and the next day witch must have had a very brief exchange.
I'm not sure if it could be considered an "exchange", but when the ghoul and the next day passed by, there was a feeling that felt very familiar to me.
The feeling, gentle and calm, was like the feeling that the green steel sword gave me when it was in my hand, or rather, it was like a treasure that saw its owner, and the breath on my body was quiet for a moment.
At that moment, the ghoul stopped moving, and I realized that this might be the best I could have been, and without hesitation, I stepped forward and slashed my sword into the ghoul's hard shell.
I slashed, and this time the ghoul didn't dodge at all.
The hard shell was broken, and the star power was immediately poured into those soft flesh, and in the blink of an eye, the Qi field on the ghoul was washed away, and it really turned into a lifeless pile of soft flesh, and began to rot at an extremely fast speed.
Now the Great Witch was standing less than a meter away from me, and although the light was dim, I could feel the soul sealing talisman on his body stopping there.
Wu Lin picked up the torch on the ground as he ran towards this side, and he came to me, shining the light of the fire on the face of the next Dan Dawu, and said something I didn't understand.
The next day, Dawu had a very lost expression on his face, and there were two lines of turbid tears on his cheeks.
Referring to the feeling that the ghoul gave me just now, I couldn't help frowning and asked Wu Lin, "What's wrong with him?" ”
Wu Lin looked at the ghouls on the ground, sighed, and said to me, "The daughter of the next day Dawu died. ”
I looked at the next day, and then at the decomposing ghoul: "My daughter is dead?" ”
Wu Lin nodded: "This guy's body is fused with Lazhen's soul, and she is the daughter of the next Dan Wu." ”
My brows furrowed even tighter, and I stared at Wu Lin's eyes: "What the hell is going on?" Didn't the ghoul be brought by Luo Zhongxing? ”
Wu Lin said: "The next day, Dawu's daughter died very miserably, so she became a demon after death, and that person named Luo Zhongxing came in the name of eliminating demons, and he let this thing suck away Lazhen's soul, even if it was a success in eliminating demons." The next day, the Great Witch had said that he had always known that Rajan's soul had not yet died, and that it was imprisoned in the body of this thing. ”
No wonder the ghouls gave me that feeling, presumably Rajan briefly regained her senses the moment she saw her father.
And the reason why the next Dan Great Witch rushed here quickly in a state of losing his mind seemed to be sensing that Lazhen's soul was in danger of disappearing.
I don't know if this explanation makes sense, but after listening to Wu Lin's words, I think this should be the only reasonable explanation.
I asked Wu Lin, "Is the next Dan Dawu awake now?" ”
Wu Lin's voice looked puzzled: "What do you mean?" ”
I said, "You and the next Dan Dawu were both controlled just now, and you fired several shots during this time. ”
Wu Lin was stunned for a moment, then frowned, and said to himself: "No wonder ......"
He only said these three words and then changed his language, and said something to the next Dan Dawu, who didn't respond to him with words, just nodded.
Wu Lin turned his head to me and said, "Wake up." ”
With that, he gave me the torch and turned and walked into the darkness.
Wu Lin should have gone to find his black copper cup.
I turned my gaze to the Great Witch, who was staring down at the ghoul with a blank expression on his face.
After three or four minutes, Wu Lin came back, and I saw that the side pocket of his backpack was much bulging compared to when he came, so I raised my chin towards his backpack and asked him, "Did you find something?" ”
Wu Lin nodded at me: "Found it." Get out now? ”
I said, "You go to the basement corridor first, the corpse refiner is very likely to come in from that position, I'll go over there and have a look." ”
As I spoke, I raised my hand and pointed to the left side of the stone chamber, where there was a coffin with an open lid, but the coverage of the light was limited, and Wu Lin could not see it.
Wu Lin touched his chin and asked me with a frown, "If we don't open the basement door, the corpse refiner won't be able to enter, right?" ”
Isn't this nonsense!
I looked at him puzzled, not understanding why someone as smart as he would ask such a stupid question, but nodded at him.
He also nodded and said, "Then don't worry, I'll follow you." ”
I asked him, "Why are you following me?" ”
Originally, I wanted to add the sentence "You don't trust me?" But looking back, he didn't trust me in the first place, and I asked in vain, and I didn't trust him either, so I didn't say the second half of the sentence.
Wu Lin's answer to me was: "In this kind of place, you are more experienced than me, and I and the next Dan Dawu will follow you, and the probability of survival will be greater." Although the corpse ...... What's going on? ”
I said, "Ghouls." ”
Wu Lin continued: "Although the ghouls have been dealt with by you, no one can guarantee that there will be no other emergencies here. ”
I have to say that Wu Lin's words are reasonable, this stone chamber is likely to be a huge burial chamber, in such an ancient tomb, it is indeed easy to encounter unclean things, although the ghouls are removed, but no one can guarantee that there is nothing else in the depths of the ground where I can't perceive the Qi field, and no one can guarantee that those things will not suddenly come out.
Considering the safety of the next day, I finally agreed to let Wu Lin act with me.
I have a feeling that although Wu Lin has a dangerous temperament everywhere, for now, he is still a relatively reliable ally.
This time I walked in front, Wu Lin walked last, and the next Dan Dawu was sandwiched between us.
On the way to the coffin, I saw a bone whip that had been broken in two by a bullet, so I crouched down and picked it up.
Wu Lin reminded me in the back: "Be careful, that thing may still move." ”
Needless to say, I will be careful, I tried to pick the bone whip, and found that some of the arthropods were very light, as if they were hollow, and some were very heavy, and they should be filled with silver needles.
One of the arthropods was broken, and the light of the fire shone through it, just enough to illuminate its interior, and I saw that there were many incomprehensible incantations carved into it.
Since I can't explain exactly what this bone whip is powered by at this time, I can only tentatively assume that the reason why it moves is related to these strange spells.
But if the incantations have stimulated it, why don't these incantations have any telekinesis, spiritual rhyme, and no Qi field?
I asked Wu Lin: "I remember you said that you caught it, but you couldn't hit it, what do you mean by that?" ”
Wu Lin: "Take a closer look at the end of it. ”
I lifted the half-osteotomy whip in my hand and looked closely at the end of the arthropod, and I saw that there were scratches on it, as if it were cut by a very thin steel wire.
Wu Lin said: "I used a steel wire to tie it, and I originally wanted to restrain it in this way, but it kept writhing, and I couldn't hit it at all." ”
That's what it means.
I sighed, threw the bone whip on the ground, and then picked up the torch and continued to move towards the left part of the stone chamber.
A few minutes later, I finally arrived at the coffin.
It was just an ordinary sarcophagus, empty inside, with no bones or burial goods, and the lid was missing.
I circled the sarcophagus twice and didn't notice anything out of the ordinary.
Wu Lin asked me, "What are you looking for?" ”
I shook my head and asked him, "Why is there a coffin here?" ”
Wu Lin said: "Oh, Tusi buried him here in order to reward the person who designed this power plant. This coffin is the one who designed it. ”
I couldn't help frowning: "What kind of reward is this?" What about the man's body? ”
Wu Lin: "In this village, the bodies of civilians can only be thrown into the river to feed the fish after they die, and only the people of the royal family can put their coffins in the ground. The man who designed the power plant was a civilian, and Toast gave him such a coffin and kept his body, which was the best reward for him. I had seen his corpse the last time I visited, but by then he was only half of his corpse, presumably the ghouls were using him for food. ”
Although the explanations given by Wu Lin can be regarded as satisfactory, I don't know why, I always feel that the reasons he gave me are a bit far-fetched. No, it's not far-fetched, it's ...... There seemed to be something wrong with him, or something unusual in his words. But I couldn't tell for a moment what was wrong and unnatural.
I asked Wu Lin again, "Didn't you say that the food of the ghouls is coal?" ”
Wu Lin: "To be exact, its food is carbon, and the carbon rich in the human body is also its food. ”
I then asked, "Why do you know so much about ghouls?" ”
Wu Lin: "I don't know anything about that thing, these things were told to Tusi by Luo Zhongxing, and then Toast told the next Dan Wu, and then the next Dan Wu told me, the last time I came, the next Dan Wu hoped that I could get rid of the ghouls, so he told me this information." The ghouls would generate electricity every night after eating carbon, and this stone chamber stored the electricity it generated and passed it on to the machines in the power plant, so that the power could still be used on the top side of the treasure so long after the disaster broke out. ”
I thought about it for a while and asked Wu Lin one last question: "What is the origin of the person who designed the power plant?" ”
This time Wu Lin spread his hands: "I don't know about this, I also asked Jidan Dawu, what kind of person can design such a power plant, but Jidan Dawu said that that person's identity is a secret in the village, although he knows some inside information, but he can't tell it." In addition, the next Dan Dawu revealed to me that this power plant was built 10 years ago. ”
