Chapter 230: The Ring
In the camp at night, no one spoke, and in the crackling sound of firewood, everyone stared at the things in front of them with a strange gaze, as if it had a great attraction. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info However, in fact, the things in front of you are not a novelty, everyone has long been accustomed to it in many years of adventurous life, only because of some special reasons, it has become particularly attention-grabbing, if you change the scene, I am afraid that you may not even look at it.
The thing in front of me was a corpse, a corpse wrapped in a black leather bag, the corpse had long since decomposed, and together with the bag in which the corpse was wrapped, it emitted a pungent stench that anyone who came even closer would be so smoky that they couldn't even open their eyes.
Unsurprisingly, the body was found by Pannis, but not in the water, but on the shore of a lake near the surface. In the evening, when the girls set up camp, Pannis and Dilly worked together to search the bottom of the lake near the wreck, but found no useful clues, such as broken crystal bottles and rusty nails.
However, when he came ashore from the lake, Pannis seemed to have noticed something, and as soon as he came ashore, he quickly ran to a narrow-leaved tree on the shore, and quickly wiped the trunk of the narrow-leaved tree near the dirt with both hands. Soon, the earth firmly attached to the trunk was wiped away, but instead of rough bark, the soil was covered with a smooth trunk that had been peeled off, and a few lines of words carved into the trunk were unrecognizable because of their age.
Seeing this scene, the girls also realized something, their expressions became solemn, and Catherine took out a shovel from her backpack and threw it over. Pannis wielded a metal shovel, and after a dozen seconds, a black kick was revealed under the dirt. As the black leather was dug out, a foul smell also diffused in the air. This stench is very clear to everyone, it is obviously the stench of decomposing corpses, and there is no other stench, which is more lethal than it.
"Why didn't that corpse from before smell so strong? Everyone surrounded it in the middle as if they were afraid that the corpse would run away, staring at it with blazing eyes, Lina covered her nose and frowned, "The smell of this body is too choking." ”
"Because last time the body was buried directly in the soil. Catherine held her breath and tore the black leather bag open completely, exposing the corpses inside, and the smell of corpses in the air immediately became even more smoky. However, everyone still endured to gather around the corpse, with a faint worry on their faces, and the knight girl bit her lip and said, "Are they in any trouble?"
"Pennis, according to the records, there should be no physical attack in this forbidden land. Vivien also put on gloves and stabbed around the corpse: "But this fatal wound is obviously caused by a physical attack. ”
"Hey, Vivien, you idiot. Lina poked Vivian's waist and said dissatisfiedly in the girl's protest: "I actually secretly drank the breath-holding potion by myself, and deliberately let us be smoked by the smell of corpses, and you have learned badly." ”
"You two stop making a fuss, be serious in front of the dead. Catherine glared at the two girls with a smile, no longer paying attention to the two who were secretly smirking, and said to herself: "His head should have been cut off, otherwise this state would never fall off naturally." ”
Indeed, this corpse was different from the corpse of the warrior seen before, perhaps because it was wrapped in a body bag, the corpse was not completely decomposed, the half-length hair was glued to the back of the head, the brownish-black rotting skin was clinging to the bone, and there was yellow-green mucus hanging from some parts of the skin, and the fingers would ooze out from under the withered skin at the touch of the fingers. However, this is not the point, the point is that the head of the corpse is separated from the body, and there are smooth sharp blade cuts on the cervical vertebrae, which are obviously cut off.
"He should have been killed by his own people. Pannis didn't touch the corpse, but rubbed his chin and said, "I have checked the fracture of the neck bone, and only by consciously slashing with a sharp weapon can this mark be caused." ”
"Why is this happening?" Catherine asked, puzzled, "This is a team carefully selected by my grandfather and the former president, and theoretically, there shouldn't be internal discord leading to infighting." ”
"It's not infighting, it's not internal feud. Pannis grimaced and said, "In some cases, I will not hesitate to cut off the heads of one or more of you. ”
"You mean, he was assimilated by a twisted soul?" Catherine was not dissatisfied or surprised by Pannis's words, "But didn't you say that if the soul is assimilated by the twisted soul, even the body will be twisted into a disembodied illusory thing? ”
"Before anyone is about to be distorted and assimilated, I will cut it. Pannis said very seriously, and his voice was so serious that it sounded panicked: "This is a very serious problem, once it is distorted and assimilated, it will endure thousands of years of eternal pain, madness and despair, and it will never be liberated, and no living creature can bear to be distorted and assimilated." Therefore, when he was entangled by a twisted soul and could not be saved, killing him early was the only option to free him. ”
Pannis's words made the girls lose their laughter, and they fell silent and didn't know what to think about, but Dilly knew about it for a long time, and said without mind: "He's right, all those who enter this area are risking their lives, and once they are distorted, there is no chance to escape." So it's a default rule to commit suicide before you are on the verge of warping, or if your teammates help you commit suicide. Not only you, but also him, whoever is distorted is treated the same. Hmm, but what do you do now, Kyle, will you still be corrupted by the twisted soul? Theoretically, you're immortal, probably not. ”
"I don't know, it's still going to be disturbed, but it's hard to say if it's going to be distorted. Pannis shrugged and said, "I don't want to test this kind of thing, it's too stupid, why don't you try it?"
"Fuck off, I still want to go home. Dilly roared, "Who will be responsible if the test fails?" ”
"So I can't answer your question. Pannis spread out his hands and said very scoundrelly: "Only wait for the verification of time." ”
"Okay, I see. Although the two of them deliberately soothed the atmosphere, the girls still felt a real psychological pressure, and the knight girl exhaled heavily, nodded, and said: "What you said is indeed reasonable, rather than the soul being trapped here, being distorted a little bit, losing oneself a little bit, and finally becoming some simple symbolic lines or shadows, it is better to die in the hands of friends before being distorted." But in this way, the deceased is liberated, but the friend who killed him has to bear the pressure of self-blame, and it is estimated that he will not be relieved for the rest of his life. ”
The girls did not notice that when Catherine said these words, Pannis's eyes became very subtle, and the muscles of her whole body were tensed, so that she could barely suppress the trembling of her fingers. Perhaps, no one but himself and Vral knew what kind of mental preparations he had made, and no one would know what kind of consciousness he had in mind to embark on this expedition.
The girls didn't think of this, so they gathered around the foul-smelling corpse, and Lina pointed to the corpse and said, "So the person who killed him left the same ring as a memorial?"
On the left hand of the corpse, there is also a pair of golden rings, one is on the fingers of the corpse, and the other is held in the palm of the hand by the corpse, due to the severe decay of the corpse, part of the hand bones have fallen off, so the ring is also exposed to everyone's sight, it can be seen that the two rings are almost identical in addition to the different sizes, from the style to the texture.
"This is ......" Catherine smiled wryly, closed her eyes weakly and sighed, "This is a wedding ring." ”
"Does a husband have to kill his wife with his own hands?" Freya's eyes lit up, no matter how disguised her appearance was, Her Royal Highness the Princess's heart was still slender and soft, and she was most afraid of seeing such an emotional tragedy. The girl wiped the corners of her eyes, sniffed and said, "That's why he left his ring, and let it take the place of his own eternal guardian wife?" ”
"Ahem. Pannis suddenly coughed dryly, and at this time seemed to have completely recovered from the previous excitement, and said lazily: "Actually, there is another explanation for leaving the ring, maybe the husband left the ring in his heart, finally have a chance to get rid of you, now I am free, wine, carnival, and fresh flesh, oh, beautiful girls, wait for me, I can finally come to you, hahahaha...... Hey, I'm just saying a possibility, what are you going to do, why is Eva even opening her eyes to you, hey, are you trying to kill me? Dilly help me, they're crazy. ”
"Damn retarded. Dilly didn't even bother to raise his head, closed his eyes and whispered, "I'm too lazy to talk to an idiot." ”
"Huhu, I'm tired. After the daily chase, the girls threw the grieving Pennis aside, and when they returned to the corpse, they found that they could no longer find the depressed and sad atmosphere they had before. The knight girl glanced at Pannis with a smile, and took off the two rings on the corpse's hands: "Let's take this with us, if we have a chance to return to the Holy Capital alive, find out the identity of this couple, and bury the rings, so that their souls can be reunited in their hometown." (To be continued.) )
