Chapter 717, Underground Secret Realm
The vortex wrapped around me like a sticky mud, I couldn't see anything, but I could feel a lot of resistance, and if it weren't for the speed of the candle dragon's dive, I would probably have suffocated before I could get out of it.
Finally. The darkness in front of me was broken, and the resistance that surrounded me disappeared. The candle dragon burst out of the vortex and landed in a tattered wooden room, which hovered like a dark cloud directly above the room, replacing the entire ceiling.
A dozen or so spiders then burst through the vortex and clung to the floor, and soon the black wolf landed in the room along the shrinking silk.
It doesn't look like a real basement, but more like an ordinary house buried in the ground for some reason, because there are windows open in the walls of the room, and this kind of thing doesn't make sense in the basement at all.
I went to the window and looked outside, but it was pitch black and there was no light in sight. I tried to push the wooden window outward. The window opened after a moment of "resistance", and an eerie wind blew into the room, in which I faintly heard a strange cry.
"You said Hasegawa built a secret base underground?" I asked the black wolf.
The black wolf is also very strange. He walked to the door of the room and reached down to touch an old wall lamp on the wall, "This place is really shabby, if anyone tells me that this is the cell of that secret concentration camp, I absolutely believe it." ”
"It seems that the information collected by Nie Yuanzheng is not entirely correct." I said.
"That's for sure, after all, the story has been told for so long, and it must have been filled with a lot of material." The black wolf replied as he reached out and pushed the door, and the wooden door fell out with a thud. Stir up a cloud of dust.
Outside the room was a straight hallway, and everywhere was a mess. The beams of the canopy were full of cavities, and the wooden planks of the roof and walls were tattered, as if they had been strafed by heavy machine guns or bombed.
More than twenty meters ahead, a tall man in a Nazi military uniform stood on the right side of the corridor, and a gray mist hovered at the man's feet.
I hid the candle dragon in my shadow for a moment, and then I cautiously walked towards the Nazi officer. Joints and blood.
As soon as I got closer, the fog that had entrenched on the ground lifted, and I immediately realized that it was not a living person, but a dried corpse. Perhaps there were no bacteria at all in this place, so the corpse showed no signs of decomposing, but had become dry due to severe dehydration.
The Nazi cadaver stood upright against the wall with a horsewhip in his hand, as if he were standing guard here. Not far in front of him was a tattered wooden door.
I pushed open the wooden door and looked at the room, where there were several large wooden basins. Eight dried corpses in tattered homespun clothes sat around the basins, holding hardened uniforms in their hands, looking as if they were washing clothes. Among the laundry washers stood a dried corpse in a Japanese military uniform, holding a short stick in his hand and looking like an overseer.
After exiting the "laundry room", Black Wolf and I went down the hallway to glance at the other rooms, which were in a similar situation, and were filled with dried corpses in various postures.
As the Black Wolf said, this is the legendary secret concentration camp, and the entire concentration camp seems to have been buried in the ground in an instant, and the prisoners of war and soldiers here all died at the same time, and even after their deaths, they have maintained their previous posture.
Reaching the end of the corridor, the black wolf took out a simple map from his pocket, on which he pointed and said, "We are probably in this area where prisoners of war are held now. Hasegawa's words, it should be here. ”
"This is a map you got from the Internet?" I asked, glancing at the drawing.
"The layout of the concentration camp was mentioned in the materials collected by Nie Yuanzheng, and I probably drew a backup based on those materials, and it seems that it was really used." The black wolf said with a smug expression, then opened the door at the end of the hallway and stepped into the thick darkness outside.
The lights in the hallway didn't seem to be able to penetrate the darkness outside, and all the lighting tools we had could only illuminate less than two meters around us, so we had to try our luck in the darkness by feeling. After figuring around for five minutes, we came to a two-story wooden house.
"Are you sure Hasegawa will be here?" I asked, pointing to the wooden door.
"I don't know, let's go take a look first." As he spoke, the black wolf directly reached out and pushed open the wooden door.
And the moment the door opened, a ball suddenly burst out and flew over our heads, burrowing into the thick darkness behind us in less than a second.
I immediately turned my head and threw a few pieces of rune paper into the darkness, and quickly recited the mantra of the Great Golden Light Mantra. Those talismans emitted several dazzling golden rays of light that pierced through the darkness and shot over, and something in the distance immediately fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
The black wolf and I hurriedly followed the sound and found that what fell to the ground was a ball densely gathered by countless bones, and half a skull protruded directly above the sphere, and two pink flames danced in the black eye sockets.
Suddenly, the half of the skull burst out of the ball, and then the entire "bone ball" burst out layer by layer, and countless broken bones slammed towards me and the black wolf.
Before I could dodge, the candle dragon had emerged from my shadow to block me, and twisted around and swept its large tail towards the center of the bone orb.
With a "snap", the bone ball was completely shattered, leaving an arm on the ground!
The section of the arm was neat and tidy, and it seemed to be bleeding, as if it had just been cut off. Just when my attention was focused on the section, the arm suddenly moved, and the muscles of the upper arm twisted into a bulge, squirming frantically towards the section of the wound, and in a short time a small ball of flesh came out of the section.
"You are guilty! You are all guilty! ”
Suddenly a shout came from that arm, and then the ball of meat turned into a human face! The face looked like an Asian man in his forties, with a very strange accent and a trademark mustache on his upper lip!
A head grows on my arm, this kind of strange thing makes people feel disgusting when they look at it, and with this full-screen mocking beard, I really can't bear it for a second! So at the same time that this head was growing, I had already rushed over with the White Tiger Knife, and then slashed Huashan in half with a single sword.
The strange arm didn't play any tricks, and after being cut in half, it immediately turned into a puddle of pus and blood, and then slowly seeped into the ground.
"What do you think this is? Is it Hitoshi Hasegawa? I asked the black wolf.
The black wolf looked at the pus and blood on the ground that had not completely penetrated into the ground with a stern expression, and then hesitated and said: "I really don't know this, I feel that the story collected by Nie Yuanzheng seems to be a little biased, and that thing just now looks like a kind of seal." You've probably heard of soulless corpses, right? ”
"I ...... I've heard of it. ”
I paused, and quickly remembered the soulless corpse in my head. I remember that during the puja, Vivi told me about the "soulless ghouls", and she was talking about the ancient Onmyoji would refine corpse soldiers, and some very rare corpse soldiers could move on their own when they were not infused with souls, and to deal with these soulless corpses, they had to chop up their bodies and bury them to prevent them from recovering - this thing that appeared in front of us was indeed very reminiscent of soulless corpses.
"If it's really a soulless corpse, there should be a lot of parts of his body, and this is just an arm." I say.
"There may be somewhere else! Go into the room and look for it. With that, the black wolf ran towards the door that had just been opened, and I immediately followed.
We quickly searched the room carefully, but found no bone balls, so we went back the way we came, and tried our luck in the darkness to find the next barracks on the black wolf's drawings.
Only this time Lady Luck did not favor us, and we walked around in the dark for twenty minutes but could not find the next barracks. Just as I was wondering if I should go back to the small two-story wooden building before to look for clues, suddenly a series of painful cries came from behind us on the right.
"It's the direction we're coming from!" The black wolf said immediately, then turned his head and ran over to the voice.
Following the sound, we quickly found the place. In the open doorways and windows, many souls struggled in pain to escape, but they seemed to be being dragged backwards by an invisible force, so that they could not escape out of the barracks and into the darkness outside.
Suddenly, that invisible force seemed to strengthen. With a series of more intense cries, the souls of the dead surrounding the door and window were instantly dragged away.
The black wolf and I ran back to the corridor we had first passed through, and found the body of the Nazi soldier standing in the corridor lying on the ground. We ran all the way to the room with the black swirl, and along the way all the dried corpses in the room fell, and all of them were reduced to a pile of bones.
It's obvious that the thing attached to Brother Onion's body has already done something to this place when we are not familiar with the terrain and run into walls everywhere, and the thing that was sealed is finally going to be resurrected!
Sure enough, when the black wolf and I ran back to the room where the vortex was, there were five skull balls hovering directly below the vortex, but I didn't see the shadow of Brother Onion.
Suddenly, all the skull balls exploded at the same time, and the broken bones forced me and the black wolf to retreat out of the room for a while, and when we returned, we saw a head, a torso, two legs, and an arm, and these five body parts quickly gathered in the air to form a man with a missing left arm.
The man grinned at us, then opened his right hand and uttered a spell, and immediately a six-pointed star with black blood appeared in his palm, and the six-pointed star immediately emitted a blinding white light.
The light was so strong that I couldn't even open my eyes. When the light finally faded, the man with the missing left arm disappeared from our eyes.
"Upper!" The black wolf pointed to the ceiling.
I hurriedly looked up and saw that the black vortex from before was gone, leaving only a tattered roof. At the same time, the whole room began to shake violently, the broken beams began to fall, and the walls supporting the room collapsed one by one!
We're going to be buried alive!
