Chapter 9: The Man in Iron Chains
It's really not easy to find ghosts. Even if you find out, you don't know what you can get rid of at the moment. I was stunned for a moment, and suddenly recalled a previous picture in my mind, when the ghost appeared, the bell in my arms made a sound, could this bell predict the appearance of ghosts? In other words, as soon as the ghost comes close to us, the bell will ring, and perhaps the bell is the nemesis of the ghost.
I tried to take out the bell, the quaint surface, it seemed to have a very long history, more or less engraved a few unintelligible characters, at this time, the bell in front of my eyes "Ding Ding Ding" rang loudly. I shook my senses suddenly, only to see the fat man with his mouth wide open, pointing at me, perhaps too frightened, and the frightened fat man didn't even speak.
Realizing the urgency of the situation, I immediately crouched down and threw the bell in my hand directly behind me. I saw the bell in the air across a graceful arc, "bang", as if touching something, and then I heard a terrible shout, and the surrounding environment suddenly changed. The square that used to be endless suddenly turned into a spacious stone room. I picked up the bell that had fallen on the ground, and the moment I bent down, I smelled a pungent smell, and next to the bell, a thick black liquid came out of thin air.
Xiao Ke, come and see! The fat man exclaimed, pointed ahead, and walked over with an arrow step. To the fat man's surprise, inside the stone chamber, that is, in front of us, there was a large black wood coffin. The lid of the coffin is tightly closed, and the inside is quiet, and in front of the coffin, it is like a foreigner's house, the kind of stove for heating in winter.
The fat man who saw the coffin and his eyes lit up, he must have robbed the tomb without a small number of tombs, and he put his ears on the coffin lid with ease, and bounced his fingers on the coffin lid, and said with a smile: "Xiao Ke, the two of us may have made a fortune, this coffin is not empty" The fat man bared his teeth and grinned, not feeling what we were here for, not to mention that we have no way out now.
"Xiao Ke, I can't pry it open alone, you come here to help!" The fat man put a section of the fork on a slightly smaller slit in the coffin lid, and he pried it vigorously at the other end of the fork, but the coffin lid did not move at all.
Just as I was about to pass, the thick black liquid that had been on the ground before seemed to be attracted by something, and it automatically lifted up from the ground, and under my surprised gaze, it went straight into the coffin lid.
Immediately afterwards, a loud "pop" sound was heard, and the coffin lid was suddenly exploded. The whole coffin lid soared into the sky, and the fat man, who was busy with joy, suddenly exerted his force, his center of gravity was unstable, and the whole person fell backwards, "Oops! How did the lid of this coffin open on its own".
Faced with this sudden change, my gut told me that it was definitely not a good thing. There is no other reason, the thick black liquid is made of ghosts, and now it can be said that the ghost shadow drilled into the coffin, for this, there is only one explanation, the ghost shadow I encountered with the fat man before was differentiated from the coffin. The more I thought about it, the more I felt that things were getting weird.
The fat man who fell to the ground suddenly got up and quickly ran to the coffin, his happy face turned green in an instant, and his two eyes were even more wide. There is no need to speculate, the fat man must have seen something that he shouldn't have seen.
Curiosity still drove my feet to the front. At this moment, the bell in my arms rang inexplicably, lasted for a few seconds, and then stopped.
The coffin did not contain the imaginary gold and silver treasures, the murals of celebrities, or the bones, but an intact corpse. Lying inside was a particularly handsome foreign man, dressed in the same medieval clothes. That's all it takes to surprise me and the fat man. What really surprised us was that the man in front of us was wrapped in thick iron locks all over his body, and at the heart of his chest, the whole thing was suffocated, that is, this person's heart was taken by someone.
There is nothing special about the coffin lying underneath, but the man's body can be young. The only explanation is that the foreign man in front of him is not an ordinary person. When I think of this, I can't help but think of some old Western European myths, this is the vampire that Europeans fear! If so, the man's teeth must be different.
Thinking of this, I said hello to the fat man, took the fork over, took a section of the fork, and slowly lifted it off the man's mouth. At the moment when I was about to meet, I clearly saw that the closed eyes of the man in front of me suddenly opened. At this moment, my whole body was suddenly stunned, and when I woke up, the fat man was already leaning on the side next to me, looking at me puzzled, "Xiao Ke, why didn't you get it just now."
I smiled bitterly, how do I want to explain this matter, could it be that I saw this dead corpse that can no longer die, and opened my eyes inexplicably just now. Looking at the motionless corpse, my eyes unconsciously moved to his hands, and the whole person was suddenly stunned, isn't that the thing the ring drawn in the photo? Unfortunately, there is not a single bell on it. I threw myself at the ring, but I couldn't shake it. The still, motionless ring seemed to be enchanted, and was joined to the corpse's hands, and the fat man, seeing that I had returned in vain, had come to help. The two of us combined it still didn't work at all.
As fate would have it, the ring in front of me would not be obtained. But my instinct told me that the ring and the bell on it were very important to us, and we had to take it. My hand couldn't help but touch the dagger, but I couldn't do it, I could only ......, the thought in my mind flashed, and before I could do it, the picture in my arms fell inexplicably and landed directly on the ring.
A surprising scene suddenly happened.
The ring, which stood still for a long time, emitted a dazzling light. The hands that were bound on it became even more invisibly loose. When the light faded, I squeezed my hand, and the photo and the ring suddenly appeared in the palm of my hand. I've seen strange things more than once or twice, and you just told me that the corpse in the coffin can come back to life, and there is nothing impossible.
At this moment, I silently felt that my surroundings became cold invisibly, and a strong sense of crisis arose. "Let's get out of here," I said to the fat man, and the empty stone room, the stove in front of me, suddenly attracted me and the fat man. I tried to walk over, and was surprised to find that the wall inside the stove was a light curtain that constantly flashed with dark glass, no matter why I hadn't found it before, in short, now I and the fat man saw this scene in amazement.
The fat man, who was cautious, took the fork and smashed it into the light curtain, and a section of the fork soaked directly into it. The fat man hurriedly gestured to me, "Xiao Ke, it seems that there is a hole in it, let's go!" ”。
Hearing the fat man shouting anxiously, I nodded slightly, and slowly moved my eyes from the side of the stove, only to see that on the side of the stove, there was a mural shaped like a labyrinth, which was a little peculiar and attracted me easily. Seeing that the fat man had already entered the light curtain, I didn't hesitate anymore and hurriedly followed. (To be continued.) )
