Chapter 54: A Strange Call for Help
It's a huge glass container that's more than a man tall. The container was filled with a clear liquid, presumably formalin. However, An Zhiquan was not surprised that this container was too large, but because there was a person in this container. No, a corpse was soaked in it, to be exact.
All intact corpses are placed in the basement, where only the dissected organs are placed. But there was a corpse in the huge glass container in front of him. More importantly, this corpse is one of Zhao Jiajia's companions.
Everyone looked at the corpse in the container and did not speak, because they really did not know what to say.
So far, all the missing people have been found, except for Hyde. It's just that except for the three who were sent to the hospital and were not in danger of life, the others were already dead.
Li Mu and An Zhiquan looked carefully around the huge container, and their hearts were very strange. The container was more than a man tall and had an opening on the top, which looked like an enlarged beaker. There is no place to borrow strength around such a container, even Li Mu and An Zhiquan are difficult to climb on, let alone alone. But why is there a corpse inside, and it is also Zhao Jiajia's companion.
It's all going on, it's clear that these people have been killed since they disappeared last night. But who did it? Although Li Mu and An Zhiquan felt the strangeness of Tianyou Tower, they had not found a single ghost so far.
For now, if you want to know the reason, I'm afraid you will have to continue to search until you find Hyde.
Looking at the corpse soaked in the container, everyone vaguely knew in their hearts that Hyde was probably also more than lucky.
"Xiao Anzi, do you think we can summon the souls of these people and ask them?" Just when everyone was worried, Li Mu thought of a way, so he hurriedly asked An Zhiquan.
An Zhiquan also thought a little after listening to it, it seems that Li Mu's method can be tried.
With the spell of Anzhiquan, it is naturally easy to summon spirits, not to mention that it is still a few people who have died not long ago. Spiritualism requires something that the corpse used in its lifetime, but in their current situation they have something even better, which is to take some directly from the deceased.
An Zhiquan asked Xiao Song and the mechanical control to go to the basement floor to relocate the bodies of Zhao Jiajia's companions, and asked them to cut off some of the deceased's hair and nails.
Xiao Song went up with a bitter face and mechanical control, and Li Mu and An Zhiquan here were preparing some things for soul summoning.
Soon, Xiao Song and the mechanical control came back, but looking at Xiao Song's somewhat pale face, I am afraid that he was also a little worried when he saw the clump of corpses.
An Zhiquan put the hair and nails that Xiao Song had retrieved in a beaker. Then he took out a spirit rune, lit it, and threw it into the beaker he had just started.
The hair and nails in the beaker began to burn under the ignition of the spirit rune, and then a puff of green smoke came out.
An Zhiquan saw the green smoke coming out and immediately recited a conjuring spell. As soon as the spell came out, I saw that the green smoke that had been rising suddenly paused in the air, and then became sluggish, and then formed a line of obscure symbols in the air. Yes, these symbols are the Spiritualist Charm.
The conjuring spell composed of green smoke stayed in the air for a moment before spreading out in all directions.
Seeing that the conjuring spell was successfully dispersed, An Zhiquan also stopped chanting the spell. The others were also holding their breath and waiting for the ghost of the deceased to appear.
But after waiting for a long time, there was no movement, which made Li Mu and An Zhiquan feel that something was wrong.
"What's wrong?" Yu Wanqing saw that Li Mu's face was different, and she also asked in a low voice.
"Just now, Xiao Anzi used the soul spell to say that he would appear if he was summoned a ghost in three moments, but it had been almost half an hour and no ghost had appeared. In this case, unless the deceased is directly dissipated at the time of death, the other situation is that their ghost is trapped in one place. ”
Li Mu's words were heard very clearly, so was he scattered or trapped somewhere?
"According to the body of the deceased, it doesn't look like the soul is scattered, so it means that the soul of Zhao Jiajia's companion is trapped somewhere. It's just that we don't know exactly where this place is. In the end, Li Mu and An Zhiquan summed it up and made a judgment.
This time, I encountered too many questions when I came to Tianyou Building, which made everyone's mood a little low. Now that the dead can't be summoned, it's hard to ask what happened last night, and there's no clue to finding Hyde.
After a night of running and encountering too many frightening scenes before, everyone felt a little tired at this time. Li Mu and An Zhiquan also saw a hint of retreat in the eyes of others, and just when Li Mu wanted to say whether to go back first, he suddenly said something in a mechanical voice.
"I remember hearing rumors in the school that the basement of the Tianyou Building was not only two floors, but had a third floor."
As the so-called word wakes up the person in the dream, everyone didn't think of this place because they were a little depressed. After such a reminder from the mechanical control, everyone remembered that Tianyou Building did have a hidden place with three underground floors.
With the goal, everyone also swept away the previous decline, and hurriedly looked for the entrance to the third underground floor around.
"Here." In a corner, the sound of a mechanical control was heard.
When everyone got closer, they saw that there was a door behind a shelf full of glass bottles.
The door is designed to be so discreet that if you don't see the doorknob, it's easy to overlook him. In addition, it is blocked behind the shelf, so naturally ordinary people can't see it.
There was a lock on the doorknob, and of course it was thanks to this lock that it attracted the attention of the mechanical control.
Click, I heard the snap of a spring, and the lock opened in the hand of the mechanical controller.
When the lock was opened, Li Mu stepped forward and pushed hard, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't open the door. So he tried to pull it out again, but the door still didn't move.
Could it be that he encountered the ghost blocking the door again, but just when Li Mu was about to retreat to discuss with An Zhiquan, he felt that the door that had just moved moved moved with a swipe of his hand.
Closed for a long time, the door is not pushed in and pulled out, it is a door that slides horizontally.
Li Mu coughed a little embarrassed, and then pulled hard to the right, and the door was completely opened.
When they opened, they were greeted by a corridor-like passageway, and at the end of the passage a door appeared.
Everyone walked to the door at the end of the passage with doubts and found that the door was not locked, but Li Mugo still did not tamper on the door, because a spirit talisman was posted on the door.
Li Mu and An Zhiquan took a closer look and found that this spiritual talisman did not look like that used by Taoists, because it was written in Sanskrit. That is to say, this talisman is from the hands of the Buddhists.
Because they didn't know what the purpose of this spirit rune was, Li Mu and An Zhiquan didn't dare to reveal it at will.
"Wow, this talisman is a few years old, you see it's all moldy!" Xiao Song estimated that he had an occupational disease, so he also came to the front to take a closer look. For the spirit rune, even Li Mu and An Zhiquan didn't know it, so Xiao Song naturally didn't know it. So he didn't look at the words on the spirit rune, anyway, he thought that the handwriting was like a ghost drawing rune, which was not pretty, but some black dots on the spirit rune caught his attention.
"Moldy?" Li Mu and An Zhiquan were also stunned when they heard Xiao Song's words, because how could the spirit rune be moldy.
The general spirit runes themselves have a trace of spirituality, and these spirits can keep the spirit runes intact and not eroded by wind and rain, and more popularly speaking, they have their own preservatives. Take 10,000 steps back and say, the spirit rune's own spirituality will slowly disappear over time, but how long has it been since the Tianyou Tower was built, and in such a short period of time, the spirit rune cannot be moldy at all.
Li Mu and An Zhiquan were surprised and took a closer look, and sure enough, they saw that there were dark spots on the spirit rune, like it was caused by mold. But Li Mu and An Zhiquan knew in their hearts that this was not caused by mold at all.
The only explanation for the black dots on the rune is that it has been invaded by evil energy, and when the rune is completely covered by the black dots, then the rune will be completely useless.
Obviously, the spirit rune in front of him has been invaded by evil qi and has begun to slowly become ineffective. As for what the consequences will be after the failure, Li Mu and An Zhiquan don't know at all.
Just when Li Mu and An Zhiquan were still thinking about the effect of this spirit rune, they suddenly heard Zhao Jiajia's voice.
"What's wrong?" Everyone was also puzzled by Zhao Jiajia's shout again.
"I heard my name being called."
"Call your name?" Li Mu also looked at Zhao Jiajia suspiciously, a similar phenomenon had happened when he was on the ninth floor before, but that was after opening the door, could it be that Zhao Jiajia encountered the same thing again?
"Yes, the sound came from inside the door."
"Inside the door, are you sure?"
Zhao Jiajia nodded and said very surely.
This situation made Li Mu feel a little embarrassed, because if he wanted to figure it out, then he had to open the door. But once the door was opened, Li Mu didn't know what kind of situation they would encounter.
For a while, Li Mu encountered a dilemma, and glanced back at An Zhiquan to find that the latter was still staring at the spirit rune at this time, his brows furrowed, and he was obviously in deep thought. Li Mu looked at the others again, but what he saw from the eyes of the others was blank.
Li Mu clenched his fists a little indignantly, but he still didn't open the door without permission.
Bang bang bang
After Li Mu decided not to open the door for the time being, there was a sound of pounding on the door again, and at the same time, there were bursts of shouting.
"Help me, save me!"
"Ah, it's Hyde's voice." When she heard the voice for help, Zhao Jiajia exclaimed again.
Li Mu looked at the mechanical control, and the latter was also shocked at this time, obviously recognizing that the voice calling for help was Hyde's voice.
If the voice calling for help was really Hyde's, then how did Hyde get in?
