Chapter 20: The Female Corpse
Using tracking, in Ma Shen's eyes, faint footprints extended from a position on the wall, slowly pacing a few steps, Ma Shen knocked the wall of that location, the echo was a little dull, and the inside was empty.
The routine of the room in the room, Ma Shen sneered, took the torch in the soldier's hand, and observed it carefully, there was a wall tile that was a little sleek, and someone should have touched it often.
Pressing this wall brick, a stone wall on the side of the "bang" rotated 180 degrees, revealing a black hole.
This is the same as the place where the martial arts masters retreat in martial arts, the ordinary innkeeper must not have the ability to build, I don't know where it came from, Ma Shen didn't think much about it, stretched out the torch and shook it inside, didn't feel that there was anything wrong, called 2 soldiers, and did not hesitate to drill into this secret room, and his intuition told Ma Shen that the answer must be inside.
It was dark and damp, which made people feel very uncomfortable, this was the first feeling that Ma Shen first felt when he first entered the secret room, and it was separated from the wine cellar by a wall, but the senses were completely different.
Coughing, Ma Shen threw the torch in his hand into the iron bucket beside him, and the firewood in the iron bucket immediately began to burn, illuminating the entire secret room.
This secret room is not big, only about 20 square meters, at a glance, shackles, iron chains, first caught Ma Shen's eyes, and then the dense white nicks on the walls around the shackles, and a little dark blood stains on the ground.
"What is the carving?" Ma Shen muttered to himself as he touched the nicks, these marks seemed to have been picked out by someone with his fingernails, and the root cause of the appearance of the evil spirit must be in these ghost drawings, "Do you two know?" Ma Shen turned his head to the two soldiers behind him and asked, he didn't know, maybe the natives of the Ice and Fire World understood.
It's a pity that Ma Shen was disappointed, the two soldiers also shook their heads in confusion, knowledge is power, Ma Shen sighed lightly, and exchanged the basic occult from the system.
Basic Occultism: Roughly understand some knowledge about mysterious things (including language and writing, hobbies), and it takes energy 150 to exchange.
After the exchange, when Ma Shen looked at the marks on the wall, he finally didn't understand anything, unlike reading a book from heaven, and vaguely understood a few words and letters, just like the English level of a junior high school student.
"God ... I.. Help me... Hate... Revenge.. Curse.. Ma Shen seems to have returned to the time when he was doing English reading comprehension in his childhood, looking at each word one by one, but only knowing these few words, and the others were either messed up or completely unfamiliar.
What does this mean? Ma Shen finally experienced the pain of a scumbag, which was simply a riddle.
However, according to the train of thought, Ma Shen roughly guessed that these scratches were painted by the people who were imprisoned here, and she prayed for the help of the gods, and she also hated the people who imprisoned her very much, and wanted revenge.
After glancing at all the traces, Ma Shen wrote down the strange words on the wall, even if some of them were not easy to understand, in case they would be useful in the future.
At present, the situation is very clear, the innkeeper doesn't know when he found out that there is a secret room hidden next to the wine cellar, and then the psychopathic innkeeper has been imprisoning the female corpse in this secret room, usually as a slave or as a tool to vent desire, and it has been abused for a long time, so there will be traces of the female corpse on the neck that penetrate deep into the skin, Ma Shen sighed.
Then it's very simple, the woman died for some unknown reason a few days ago, and tonight with a strong resentment turned into an evil spirit to take revenge on the innkeeper, that is, the old man, but I didn't expect to break into a group of Lannister soldiers and kill the old man, so the evil spirit immediately shifted the target, ready to kill those soldiers, but before it could do it, he and the scar man broke in and killed those Lannister soldiers, no way, the evil spirit could only transfer the target again, but it was unlucky, and it hit his own hard stubble, and he was directly beaten to ashes。
If it is really as he thinks, this evil spirit inexplicably makes people feel a little sad, Ma Shen can't help but laugh and throw aside the shackles that were forcibly pulled by brute force on his hands.
"Ding Da" looked at the shackles thrown on the ground, Ma Shen suddenly remembered something, no! The evil spirit has no substance, and the black shadow he just killed is proof of this, and it was who pulled this shackle open! Who got the female corpse and the old man from the hall to the wine cellar, Ma Shen tried to pull the shackle hard, but he didn't move at all, until he used all his strength, and the shackle slowly changed a little arc.
The person who can break this shackle may know the Magic Mountain, but there is only one Magic Mountain, and no one else has such power, Ma Shen's heart sank, and he had a bad idea in his heart, could it be that there is not only that evil spirit in this hotel, but also other things.
"That female corpse!" Ma Shen's face changed suddenly, and he ran outside the secret room with his sword, but unfortunately he was still a step late.
Outside the wine cellar, the scar man walked back and forth anxiously outside the wine cellar, since the female corpse was found in the wine cellar, the scar man had an inexplicable upset and irritability, similar to the previous situation.
It's okay, Scar Man comforted himself in his heart, the adult said that the culprit was dead, then he must be dead, and the adult is also in the wine cellar, there must be nothing wrong.
Just thinking about it, suddenly a cool breeze came from nowhere, and the scar man subconsciously shrank his neck, and a terrible scream sounded from the cellar.
"How... The scar man took two steps and stopped, thought about it seriously, and felt that he still didn't want to disturb the adult fighting, so he just stood outside the door obediently.
At this time, Ma Shen, who was "trusted" by the scar man, had already fallen into a bitter battle, and just ran out of the secret room, there was a gust of evil wind in front of him, Ma Shen reacted quickly, raised his sword to block, but he didn't expect the impact on the blade to be beyond imagination, so that Ma Shen rolled back three times, and barely relieved the impact.
With two screams of soldiers, Ma Shen finally saw what was in front of him, and sure enough, it was the female corpse, holding two beating hearts in her hands, and two dead soldiers lying on the ground.
Seeing Ma Shen staring at the heart in his hand, the female corpse picked up the heart and took a bite with a smile.
"Die!" Ma Shen instantly became furious, rushed towards the female corpse with his sword, and then rolled back at a faster speed.
Ahem, Ma Shen coughed a few times, some blood stains flowed from the corners of his mouth, and he slashed the female corpse, but he didn't cut it much, but was punched back by the female corpse.
Invulnerable, there is no way to fight this battle, and the power of nature has not yet recovered, Ma Shen stood up with difficulty, fortunately, the female corpse did not care about herself after beating herself back, and kept bowing her head and eating her heart.
After thinking about it, it's not okay to be blocked here, it's better to deal with this kind of thing, an open place is better, so Ma Shen quietly bypassed the female corpse and retreated to the door of the secret room.
Suddenly, I saw the female corpse who was originally bowing her head and gnawing her heart suddenly looked up at herself, and Tie Qing's face exuded some redness, it turned out that the heart on the female corpse's hand had been eaten.
There were bursts of warning sounds in his head, and Ma Shen ran outside with all his might, how big the cellar could be, and in the blink of an eye, he was about to run to the door, and kicked a barrel of wine to the ground on the way.
Ma Shen made an emergency brake, and the wine cellar was full of wine, which was all fueled and burned him.
The female corpse was also very fast, and it had already come behind her, no matter what, Ma Shen gritted her teeth to block the attack of the female corpse, and at the same time kicked down the wooden barrel in the wine cellar and knocked it to the ground.
After feeling that it was about the same, Ma Shen scooped up a burning wood with his sword and smashed it on the ground, and the flames spread rapidly throughout the cellar.
