Chapter 36: The Ball and the Head
As soon as she reached the center of the two sides of the stone pillar, the female beggar fell from the sky a few centimeters in front of her, and a blood-colored head fell. The head was still staring at a pair of dead eyes, and its lips were moving slightly, and it said, "Head! Head! β
This frightened the beggar, and hurriedly shrank her feet, but she didn't expect that when she stepped back, her feet accidentally slipped, and she rolled down the stairs. It rolled all the way to the grass, covered from head to toe with dirty dust.
When the three white-clothed soldiers in the stone pavilion saw this, they didn't go up to help them up, but just watched stupidly.
Until the beggar said with a dying breath: "Come and help me, why are you stupid there?" Sick? β
This time, the three white-clothed soldiers rushed forward, and at the same time ran down the stairs to help the female beggar, and when they helped, their hands were trembling, and they seemed to be afraid of something.
The beggar got up and patted the dust. Each of them gave them a slap in the face, and went down the stairs again, looking at the head that had fallen before, it was the old man from before, and his beard was half red and half white with blood. There were many small black holes all over the face, as if they had been stabbed by a dagger.
The beggar pointed to the skull and said to the soldier, "Have you seen this one before?" β
The soldiers shook their heads one after another and replied in unison, "No! β
The beggar looked up at the top of the stone pavilion again, and saw a rooster feather hanging from the plaque, and even the hair was covered with blood, and the strange smell hit her nose.
Just when everyone didn't notice, the strange voice suddenly echoed from all around, "Head...... The voice dragged on for a long time, and his voice was like swallowing a mouthful of talk, and he made a hoarse voice.
This time, so the soldiers' ears heard this call clearly. One by one, they twisted their heads and turned to each other, and countless pairs of puzzled eyes cast into the corners of the jungle on all sides, and even a single weed stared at it carefully for a long time.
The beggar was even more panicked, and here she reacted the most. I don't know if it's a ghost in my heart or what, my body keeps spinning in place, and my long messy hair is scattered and shakes between my back.
But in this open area in the jungle, there is no extra dark shadow at all. The armor worn by these soldiers was silver and shiny, and it could be seen clearly in a corner of the inconspicuous white-clothed soldier, and no one was better to spot it than the beggar.
At this moment, a white-clothed soldier walked out of the crowd. The white-clothed soldier looked thin and thin, and he was not tall, less than a meter, like a dwarf.
The dwarf broke away from the group without permission, sneakily jumped up the stairs, picked up the bloody head, and held it in his arms, laughing incessantly, not knowing what he was doing.
The beggar walked around a few times before she returned to her senses and looked at the stairs. Seeing that the dwarf soldier was holding his head in his hand, he was about to go back. The beggar stopped, "Stop! What are you doing? β
As soon as these words fell, the white-clothed soldiers around them just relieved themselves. Seeing the dwarf holding his head, he immediately drew his spear and rushed to the dwarf with seven or eight guns in front of him, completely surrounding him.
The beggar walked up to the dwarf soldier and asked again, "What are you doing?" Who told you to pick up the head? β
Several white-clad soldiers held their guns around his neck. The dwarf smiled and replied, "Hey, I thought it was fun, it looked like a leather ball, so I played with it in my hand." β
The beggar's expression changed, and she sneered, "Who are you?" β
"I'm your subordinate, Soldier in White." The Soldier replied.
"Then you just put it down quickly, what kind of nerves do you have?" The beggar said.
"Hey, I'm a psychopath, if you can't get used to seeing me, you can put it back." With that, the dwarf put his head back in place. Later, he stretched his waist and dragged him like an uncle.
The beggar naturally couldn't stand it, because she was the king of Hades. In the underworld, she basically has the final say on all matters, big and small, and every word is terrifying. From the reactions of the white-clothed soldiers before, as well as her own actions, it can be seen at a glance.
As soon as the dwarf turned around, the beggar rushed up and kicked him over, and said angrily, "Arrest him for me." β
The white-clothed soldiers immediately turned their spears around his neck. Confused, the dwarf looked left and right with a smile and asked, "Why are you arresting me?" β
The female beggar also laughed and said: "It's nothing, it's just that you don't like this soldier and want your life." β
After hearing this, the dwarf did not feel the slightest fear on his face, but said with a smile: "Ah, Lord Hades, don't kill me, if you kill me, you will definitely regret it." β
The female beggar stared at him for a while, hesitated for three or two seconds, and then asked curiously: "Then tell me, why did you act without permission?" Still pick up your head in your hand? β
The dwarf soldier said: "My lord, I am not holding the head, it is the ball, I have been greedy for play since I was a child, I am excited when I see the ball, I don't believe you are looking, it is a ball or a head that falls to the ground." As he spoke, the dwarf pointed to the staircase.
The beggar looked back and rolled her eyes. I was surprised to notice that the head on the stairs before had turned into a round ball at some point, and it was still wet.
"You see, it's a child's ball."
The beggar couldn't believe it, and asked the white-clothed soldiers around her. But no one knew what was going on, and no one even cared about the change in the head, all eyes were on the dwarf.
The beggar walked all the way over again, took the ball on the stairs and looked at it in her hand. I found that the heavy one didn't look like a leather ball at all, but more like a heavy big stone, weighing dozens of pounds.
The beggar threw the ball into the hands of one of the white-clad soldiers and asked, "Look, is this a ball or a human head?" β
The white-clothed soldier took it in his hand and looked at it, and replied: "Back to the Hades King, it is indeed a leather ball, but it is a little too heavy, and there will not be a stone hidden in it, right?" β
"Okay, I got it." The beggar took the ball back, spun around, and slammed it on the head of the dwarf.
The ball hit the heart of the Soldier's head, cracking a bloody skin. The ball bounced off the ground, didn't jump, didn't even roll, and landed next to the stone pillar.
The beggar squatted down and faced the dwarf soldier and said, "Why is your head bleeding?" β
"I was hit by a ball, hehe!" The dwarf replied as he wiped the blood from his head.
This time, the female beggar was completely enraged, went up and stepped directly on his chest, and said angrily: "Can the ball smash the head and break the skin?" β
The dwarf didn't speak, just smiled.
The beggar looked at her and stood up. sneered: "Okay, you dare to deceive me, I will roast you to death on a big fire." β
The dwarf had never been afraid, and when he heard this, he smirked and said, "You can't kill me, you'll regret it." β
"Regret is regret, I really don't know how to write the word regret since I was a child." The beggar stepped on him several times, and when she stood up, she turned to the soldiers and said, "Tie him up with a rope for me, like the woman, to the cross, and put dry wood under it, and burn it with fire." β
When the soldier answered, he tied the dwarf with a rope and carried it around the bell and crucified it.
But the dwarf still looked calm, and said with a smile: "You can't roast me with fire, you will definitely regret it." β
Several soldiers poured fire oil on him and placed dry wood at his feet. One of the middle men threw a torch into the pyre, and the fire ignited.
The fire continued to burn on him for several minutes. The dwarf not only did not scream, but laughed incessantly, and kept repeating the phrase: "You will regret it......"
This sentence frightened the surrounding soldiers a lot. The fire burned for a while, and the dwarf showed no signs of burning, just a silly laugh.
The beggar, who did not believe in evil, stabbed him in the chest with a knife and pierced his skull with a spear. But he was unscathed at all, and after tossing for a long time, he didn't see any scars at all, and he felt that his body was like an iron wall, invulnerable.
Several soldiers told her that it was a weirdo and that it was better not to act rashly.
Still not convinced, the beggar pushed the soldiers away. He took out the white blade and slashed at the dwarf's neck. But the dwarf's body became very soft and limp, and his head fell from his neck.
The beggar slashed at the dwarf's head again, slashing after slashing, and the edge of the blade was cut off a corner, but she did not stop. A few soldiers around him couldn't stand it anymore.
The skull on the ground didn't react at all, not a single scratch.
The beggar picked up her head, threw it into the dry wood, and asked the soldiers to burn it with fire. The soldiers in white had no choice but to act according to her methods.
The fire burned for a while, and when it was taken out again, the skull somehow turned into a ball.
And the body of the dwarf soldier, before he knew it, turned into a rock behind him, towering in front of the cross, and stunned the white-clothed soldiers around him.
The beggar picked up the ball and was about to cut it with a knife. Unexpectedly, he was suddenly kicked by a person behind him. She had to look back quickly.
At this moment, she saw a little boy of eight or nine years old, wearing a little red riding hood, looking up at her like this, stretching out his hands, turning his palms and saying, "That's my ball, give it back to me!" β
The female beggar was so angry that she threw the ball directly at the boy's head, and said to a few white-clothed soldiers around her: "Take down this yellow-haired boy for me!" β
"Yellow-haired child? Where are there any yellow-haired children? The white-clothed soldiers looked left and right, looking everywhere for the child that the beggar had spoken.
At this time, the female beggar was even more angry, grabbed the white blade tightly, slashed wildly at the boy's head, quickly kicked the little boy to the ground, and slashed the boy's body dozens of times, and her face was splashed with blood.
The white-clothed soldier immediately stepped forward to stop her, and the soldier asked, "Lord Hades, what are you doing?" Why are you chopping at a rock? β
The beggar didn't believe it at all, and continued to stab the boy's body three times, four times, five times, one more ruthless than the other, and kept scolding: "You weird doll, I'm going to kill you today." β
The white-clothed soldier pulled for a while, but found that he couldn't pull it at all. In the end, I didn't care about it, so I had to stand by and watch the beggar go crazy alone.
When the crucifixion bell saw it, he sneered: "Presumably this is the venom of cat urine, this hallucination is estimated to take a long time." β
"Cats? What cat? Where are cats? The white-clothed soldiers looked left and right, and replied in unison.
Bell smiled and didn't continue to speak. Soon the beggar finally stopped, and sat down on the grass, breathing heavily.
It wasn't until the female beggar came back to her senses that she realized that she had cut herself on the ground and was really a big stone. But the big stone looked like a baby, and if you put a layer of yellow paint on the stone, you would see a two-month-old baby in the dark.
The beggar looked at the big stone in front of her, and suddenly she couldn't believe her eyes. One of the white-clothed soldiers stepped forward and said, "Lord Hades, why don't we go back first." In this way, that's not the way to go. β
After the beggar nodded, she said, "Okay, I think I can only go back first, and there is really no other way to control such an illusion at present." β
With that, the beggar got up from the grass. Just as he was about to turn around, a terrifying laugh came from behind him. I had no choice but to look back, and saw a black figure standing on a pine tree, jumping and jumping onto the stone pavilion.
"Who are you?" The beggar looked at it and asked.
The black shadow stood at the top, pinched his beard and said, "I, it's the white-haired old man you want to kill." What do you think? Are you interested in playing a game with the old man? β
When the beggar heard the voice of the old man from before, she immediately looked back at the top of the floor and said, "Why are you?" Aren't you dead? How did it come back to life? β
The old man smiled: "Who do you think you are, you know some three-legged cat kung fu, and you want to fight with me, it's a pipe dream." β
The soldiers rushed to the old man again, put their guns at the old man's chest, and warned, "Don't move, I'll kill you if you do." β
"You soldiers are so naΓ―ve, what are you doing with a girl? There is no benefit at all, and in the end he gave his life, is such a Hades worthy of your life? Yu Qi worked hard for her, it is better to follow the old man, at least the situation will not be like now. The old man said.
The soldier said, "You are not allowed to insult our Lord Hades, he is the one who led us all the way to this place." If it weren't for her, we'd probably be dead. β
"Well, if I don't touch you, then you will take me, crucify me, and roast me with fire." The old man raised his hand and slowly raised it.
Seeing that he was more sincere, the soldier immediately took out the hemp rope from his pocket, threw it at his feet, and said, "In that case, then tie it up yourself, and we won't do it." β
The old man said, "You guys are still ridiculous, how can I tie myself up?" β
"Then we'll help you." After the soldier tied the old man's body, he carried it to its place, set it on the fire, and said, "Today we will send you to the western sky, do you have any last words?" β
The old man said: "There is nothing in the last words, just to have a good time." β
At this time, the female beggar stepped forward, took out the white blade, raised it, and said, "Good! Then I'll give you a little more pleasure. When the beggar finished speaking, she raised her knife and slashed at the old man's neck.
After the old man's neck fell out of his body, his limbs were still moving, how terrible it was.
Soon after, the old man directly broke the cross from the cross, and with a strong stretch, the rope of his body fell off.
All the soldiers around were frightened, trembling their legs, trembling, their guns falling to the ground one after another.
The old man came down from the cross, stretched out his hands and chest forward, and shouted, "Come back! Come back! Come back soon, Boss. β
Unexpectedly, the half of the head that fell on the ground really reappeared on the old man's neck.
When the beggar saw this, she was so frightened that she went up and slashed at the old man's neck. This time the old man dodged quickly, and grabbed the female beggar's wrist with one hand, kicked hard, and snatched the white blade over.
The beggars flipped to the ground with their feet in the air, while hundreds of soldiers rushed away. The old man jumped over and trembled with it, every move was fatal, almost killing a white-clothed soldier with a single palm.
At this time, the bell also kept rubbing against the rope on the cross, trying to break free.
The old man jumped to the top of the house, and dozens of white-clothed soldiers jumped up with him, fighting with him.
When the beggar stood up, she had a slight wound on her leg, and limped to the side and sat down.
At this moment, two ghosts appeared out of nowhere in the woods, ran all the way behind the bell, and untied every rope on her body. After the bell got out, he looked back and saw two big men standing behind him.
At this moment, the two ghosts knelt on the ground at the same time and begged for mercy: "Lord Woman, I'm really sorry, we shouldn't have betrayed you just now, but this time, our conscience found out, and we suddenly figured it out, so we came to save you." β
The bell didn't speak, just gave them a blank look. Turning back to the beggar, he walked over.
When the female beggar saw this, there was no soldier around her, and she kept shrinking her body back in a panic. and begged for mercy: "The heroine spares her life, it was my fault just now, please spare a life." β
Bell smiled and said, "Aren't you the King of Hades?" How can Hades be afraid of death? β
The beggar stopped talking, and continued to shrink back. Bell looked down and saw that she was covered in mud and looked like she hadn't taken a bath in three years, and said, "Look at your whole body, being a king of Hades deserves you to be such a wretch." β
The beggar hurriedly stood up, knocked the bell several times in a row, and replied: "Yes, yes, it's my fault, please spare a life, after all, I only have such a life, if you take it, I won't be able to live." β
"Nonsense, of course you only have one life, could it be that you are a nine-life cat?"
When the sound fell, the two ghosts behind him put a knife on the beggar's neck and threatened, "Take out the key quickly!" β
"Keys? What key? Why can't I understand what you say, can you explain it a little bit? I'm also an honest man. The beggar said.
The ghost said: "Of course it's the skeleton key, this key is the god key, it is said that there are three of them, one of which is on the old fox, one is with us, and the other is with you." β
The female beggar looked panicked, looked back at the group of white-clothed soldiers under the stone pavilion, and found that more than half of them had been killed or wounded. Ma moved his body and replied, "Really not! So saying, the beggar handed over the white blade, and said, "Oh, by the way, this knife is priceless, and if you need it, it will be given to you." β
The bell stepped forward, put the knife directly into his hand, took a closer look, and said: "Sure enough, it's a good knife, I've experienced so much, it's really the first time I've seen a good baby like this." β
The beggar continued, "Yes, yes, it's a good thing, by the way, aren't you leaving?" Let's go, I won't bother with you, it's all right? β
The bell smiled coldly and said, "Yes, we are leaving, but we have to take you with us when we go, you don't have to say anything, you open your eyes and take a look, who controls who is in control now, who has the final say, we have the final say, you don't have to be reluctant." β
When the bell had finished speaking, he went up and knocked the beggar unconscious, and tied her up with a rope.
The two ghosts around searched her body, and sure enough, they found a key. After taking it in his hand, he handed it to the bell and said, "Eldest sister, this key is for you, but it is a good thing." β
"What's the use?" Bell asked.
"Hey, this key is powerful, it's worth a lot of money, at least 500,000 Dead Coins."
"500,000? So much, it's not enough for a few lifetimes. β
The two ghosts laughed, picked up the white blade from the ground again, and handed it to the bell at the same time, and said, "This is also a good thing, worth at least 200,000 Immortal Coins, which used to be a special magic weapon for necromancy, you can keep it!" β
The bell took the white blade and turned back to look at the old man who was fighting on the stone pavilion. In just a few minutes, the old man had gathered up the hundreds of soldiers to only seven or eight, and they were all scarred and unable to fight again.
Seeing that the opportunity was particularly good, the bell jumped up with him, slamming his palms on the white-clothed soldiers, knocking down one of them.
The old man picked up the chain of hammers and gave them a hammer to each of the white-clothed soldiers who met them. The remaining white-clothed soldiers were all eliminated.
The bell jumped in front of the old man, saw his face step by step, and asked, "Why are you?" β
"Of course it's me, I saw you being tied up, and I knew there must be some deception in this, so I came and looked. What I didn't expect was that the Hades King was also in this place, which was really killing two birds with one stone. β
Bell smiled faintly and jumped from the roof to the bluestone slab. The old man threw the chain hammer and jumped down with it.
The two ghosts in the back also ran up with low eyebrows, stepped forward to the old man, and said with a smile: "Hey, old fox, it turns out that you are also here, this is really too coincidental." β
"What a coincidence? Don't think that the old man doesn't know anything. It was you who harmed you, how much money did the female beggar give you that is worth your life for him like this! The old man said.
