Chapter 17: The Dagger in the Shadows
Silver Night saw a drawer next to it, and the drawer said "Water of the Dark Spring", which can only be taken with a minimum of five blood characters. The effect of the water of the Stygian Spring is that the person who takes the water can sense the imminent breath of death. For example, if you or someone close to you is about to die, you can sense it. The closer the time, the more powerful the induction.
He opened the drawer and found a small white bottle.
When she saw the white vial, Silver Night felt her mind explode suddenly! He couldn't believe what he saw.
"This, this is ......"
He immediately took out the vial and opened the cap, and inside it was a very cloudy liquid, and he took a sip, and the taste was ...... It tastes almost the same as the "divine water" provided by the Golden Divine Kingdom! When he investigated this cult before, he bought a bottle and took it.
"The divine water provided by the Golden Divine Kingdom, is it obtained in this warehouse?"
Something suddenly occurred to him, and he rushed back to the cabinet of curse props, and saw a drawer with "Yin Crack Dagger" written on it, and he needed a minimum of four blood words to receive it. The role of the dagger is mainly to carry out curses. He quickly opened the drawer, and the dagger in the Yin Gap was indeed exactly the same as the dagger specially made by the Golden Divine Kingdom!
However, how could the Golden Divine Kingdom provide such a huge number of daggers and divine water?
Suddenly, he remembered something, and in front of the curse item cabinet, he saw the "Evil Shadow Mirror" that required eight blood characters to receive. This mirror can copy anything that clones non-living things, and can be removed from the mirror. In other words, the Patriarch of the Golden God Kingdom may have this mirror.
Who is that patriarch? Could it be that he was a survivor of the Blood Word Instructions fifty years ago? Took the props out of the warehouse and didn't put them back in?
The three items he brought out must be the Evil Shadow Mirror, the Yin Crack Dagger, and the Water of the Dark Spring!
However, why did the person who had successfully executed the Blood Character ten times only bring out such low-level props as the Yin Crack Dagger and the Water of the Stygian Spring? There are some very powerful curse props, which can also be used in human society!
Why?
At night, the top floor of a serviced apartment in K City. The young godfather was sitting in front of the window with a glass of wine. Dresser stood respectfully behind him.
"Dress, looking back now, I was lucky to get that book." He took a sip of wine and said, "The legend in the book, and the three props left to me by the man named Pu Ling, because of those things, I was able to create the Golden Divine Kingdom. I'm really grateful to Pu Ling, without him, my plan would not have come true. In particular, that mirror can allow the divine water and daggers to continue to grow, and it is precisely because of this that a large number of believers have joined the Golden Divine Kingdom. ”
"Indeed," said Dresser, smiling, "Sect Ancestor, you are very lucky to have obtained that book by accident. Your miracles have been believed by everyone, and even the absurd lie of the Golden Kingdom has been believed by countless people. As you said, the highest level of a lie is a half-truth. ”
The Patriarch took a sip of wine, his gaze looking into the distance.
And Silver Night has finally returned to the real world.
To leave the warehouse, just sign the pass again. Once signed, the signature disappears.
Time stood still, and after reappearing on the ghost ship, the number of ghosts in front of him did not change. I raised my wrist and looked at my watch, and sure enough, there was no change in time.
It was sent to the warehouse just now, and in reality it was only a moment ago!
Although I was stunned by the presence of the Dagger and the Water of the Stygian Spring, it wasn't that that that mattered now. He placed the realm chessboard on the ground. Both black and white in chess correspond to each other's positions.
Immediately, the ghosts' movements seemed to be frozen, and they never moved again.
Ye Tianchen and Xun Moying also returned to the real space, after all, no matter how long they stayed in the warehouse, it was a moment in reality. Both of them are performing the Blood Word for the first time, so they can't claim any items.
"It's fine." Silver Night breathed a sigh of relief, and he immediately took the Spirit Eye Eye Drops and dropped a drop into both eyes. Then, he looked at Ye Tianchen and Xun Moying behind him, there was no change, these two were indeed real human beings.
As for the Three Spirits Murder Scepter, he also held it in the palm of his hand, and the black eyes of the hideous ghost head suddenly turned blood-red, and it seemed that he had begun to absorb the eerie ghostly energy. With these three spirit murderous scepters in hand, even if the source of the curse comes, I am afraid that I must be afraid of three points.
"Mr. Ke!" Ye Tianchen saw the domain chessboard held in Yinye's right hand, as well as the three-spirit murderous head staff held in his left hand, and immediately said with great joy: "You have successfully received the props?" No matter what we do, we can't open any of the drawers. Great, these ghosts, all of them are moving? ”
"Let's go!" Silvernight's expression was still grim: "The apartment will definitely weaken the restrictions on ghosts in the future, we must speed up!" ”
The warehouse can only be entered once every forty-eight hours, and each time you enter, you can only stay inside for an hour. In other words, Silver Night will not be able to enter the warehouse again.
These three spirit murderous scepters are his greatest reliance at present! The disadvantages of the realm chessboard, one is that the static time is shorter when there are too many chess pieces, and the second is the same ghost, the static of the chess pieces can only be used once, and the third is the king of sunspots, the queen of sunspots, the king of whites, and the queen of whites must not be lost, otherwise it is a "general"! In chess, there are sixteen blacks and whites, and the total number of ghosts is far more than sixteen, so there are still ghosts that cannot be stilled.
Through the gap between the still ghosts, the three of them quickly fled. At the same time, because of the existence of the three spirit murderous staffs, ghosts that have not been stationary cannot get too close to the silver night.
Silver Night knows better than anyone that on the surface, these props are like plug-ins in online games, very powerful, but he knows very well that there can be no so-called cheats, or bugs, in blood letters. The apartment offered to provide these items to balance the Blood Word difficulty.
In fact, for a long time, the apartment has greatly weakened the restrictions of ghosts, so as to ensure that the blood letter indicates that someone will survive to the end. Otherwise, there is no time to think about the way to live, and the ghosts will not be able to wait for so long, and they will wait for you to see the hint of the way to live before killing. What's more, most ghosts have the terrifying ability to be immortal, to shift space, to tamper with memories, and even to control time.
In horror stories, ghosts are the protagonists, which originate from people's instinctive fear of death and the unknown. People are too taboo about death, and they don't understand it too much. The world after death becomes everything that people don't understand. Ghosts are the only intersection between humans in this unknown world, which makes the vague consciousness of death manifest itself in a distinct way, making people feel as close to death as possible. This is the root cause of human fear of ghosts.
Terror stems from the unknown, the unknown of death. And the unknown is something more terrifying than ghosts, which can automatically sow the seeds of terror in human hearts, and then take root and sprout, human beings will have unnecessary imagination and produce a sense of fear that is much more than reality. Because the taboo and sensitivity to death is also the most vulnerable side of human beings. Therefore, in modern society, there are often some urban weird talks, people will have a kind of enthusiasm for supernatural phenomena, which is just a manifestation of insecurity, modern people because of their sensitivity to the unknown and death, and the sense of insecurity has long been urban legends and the enthusiasm for supernatural stories.
The various immortal surnames and inextricable surnames of ghosts in horror novels and horror movies are precisely a kind of inner struggle of human beings who are powerless in the face of death, who want to resist but are powerless to resist, and who want to detach but cannot detach themselves from it. No one can explore death, and in this society, no matter how much money is earned, no matter how many people are favored, everything will be empty after death, and this underlying darkness has always been entrenched in the hearts of modern people.
Because of this, it has become the real horror of the blood word indication.
Silver Night is very clear that the props given by the apartment, especially the statement "unable to kill ghosts", maintain this immortality, just like the sense of struggle and powerlessness of human beings against death. But at the same time, it allows the occupants to live, gives them some hope, and releases even greater despair. Let them try to live as far back as possible to the blood letter and experience greater horror.
Silver Night had wondered why this apartment had come into being. He now thinks that perhaps this apartment is the embodiment of the inner contradictions and struggles of human beings, and the terrifying building created by the real demons of human beings.
In other words, after obtaining these props, the real horror is about to be released!
The greatest horror is not ghosts, but invisible curses. For example, in "The Grim Reaper is Coming", the so-called Grim Reaper has never appeared in the movie, but it is precisely this that reaches the ultimate horror.
Most of the props are used for ghosts. So, what if the subject of the curse is no longer dominated by physical ghosts? What would it be like then?
Rushing into the cabin and going down the stairs to the corridor below, Silver Night said with a solemn expression: "You two, hurry up and ask the pen fairy, I will use the Three Spirit Murder Staff to protect you!" ”
Say so, but Silver Night doesn't have enough faith either.
"That'...... Whose name is written? Ye Tianchen immediately asked.
"Anna," he said without hesitation, "write Anna's name!" ”
Anna, most likely killed by the Shadow Slit Dagger. If the dagger is used to kill a living person, the curse will cause them to be unable to fall into samsara, and will remain forever in the place of death, unable to be liberated, which is an extremely evil curse. In other words, Anna is an evil spirit cursed by a dagger in the shadows!
"Okay, then, let's try Anna first!" Xun Moying immediately tore off a piece of paper from the note and wrote the word Anna on it.
Then, she put the piece of paper on the ground and said to Ye Tianchen: "Mr. Ye, you and I hold hands so well, yes, the tip of the pen is against the paper, okay, it's like this......"
Li Yin looked carefully at the "warehouse" in front of him.
"Yin Si Compass, Huangquan Curse, Evil Spirit Mask......" Li Yin was like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden at this time, and she couldn't move her steps.
However, he always remained calm.
The apartment can't be kind to them, which means that the existence of props is just to maintain the balance of blood difficulty, that is, to give the residents enough time to think about survival.
After all, life is the king, and if you want to live to ten times by relying on props, it is a fool's dream.
After all, most of the items for sealing ghosts require very high blood characters, and there are restrictions, so once a ghost sea tactic appears, it will be useless. And there are great restrictions on the application of curses, such as the "curse spirit incense" requires the household itself to be immortal, so if the ghost kills the household instantly, the effect of the curse spirit incense is equivalent to chicken ribs.
However, with the presence of these props, at least the residents will not fall into absolute passivity.
Originally, Li Yin could receive items with seven blood characters, but now he can only receive items with blood words four times. The lower the number of items, the greater the number. Again, the less powerful it is.
"Attack items, ...... that can be claimed four times with blood letters"
The prop drawers on the cabinet are distributed according to the height of the blood word, the higher the blood word is placed on the top, and the lower the blood is placed on the bottom.
There are attack props that can only be received at least four times with blood words, and Li Yin plans to choose a more convenient one.
The four blood word props have very limited abilities, and among the attack props, the best is "black and white impermanence". Li Yin opened the drawer, and in the drawer was a bead mixed with black and white.
"Black and white impermanence...... Li Yin grabbed the bead and said, "Not a bad thing." Within a certain range, the body of a ghost can be restrained, just like the black and white impermanence that brings a ghost into the netherworld. ”
However, the restraint of black and white impermanence can only last for ten minutes. The second binding time will be further shortened, and at the same time, black and white will gradually blend in black and white impermanence, and when the bead is completely gray, the binding ability will be removed. After all, this is only a four-time blood word prop, and the restrictions are still quite large.
Then, Li Yin returned to the apartment from the warehouse.
However, it is obvious that props cannot be brought into the apartment, because the black and white impermanence held by Li Yin disappears after entering the apartment. Just as ghosts can't get into an apartment, so can't these props.
"Gather all the householders." Li Yin's expression didn't change much at the moment: "Start a discussion immediately, sort out all the prop materials, and then ...... Carry out the capacity allocation of households. ”
Midnight had also returned to the apartment at this time, and she looked at Li Yin's expression and knew that he had seen through the intention of the apartment.
This is not a gift, nor is it a miracle. The horror did not end there, but on the contrary, it was even more elevated than before.
"The apartment doesn't impose restrictions on ghosts anymore." Li Yin's hand was clenched tightly and said, "The apartment will force us, we must carry out the Demon King-level blood character instructions!" ”
In the quiet corridor, the pen fairy finally moved!
The tip of the pen drew a horizontal line on the name Anna.
