Chapter 16: The Haunted House
"This is it. Caitou pointed to a house several times away, at this time there was no sunlight in the sky, the dim light and floating mist made the house look gloomy, Xu Du looked up at the second floor and the top floor of the house, but did not feel the evil breath of people.
"Sir, go in, I'll wait for you here, and if you can't get out, I can go and call your friends. Caitou said that he did not dare to take a step closer to the house, and the other people here were like him.
Xu Du is not ready to ask others to take him in, after all, he is not three-headed and six-armed, if the person brought in has an accident, he will have to save people, and it will be much easier for him to go in by himself. However, in order to prevent the curse in this house, Xu Du borrowed a lamp from Caitou, the flame can expel evil and cold, which is why few demons can use flames, of course, there are some exceptions.
Xu Du slowly walked to the door and illuminated the door with a lamp, there were some dents on the door, proving that it had been hit by brute force, but now it was locked by layers of chains, and there were some spell marks left on the chains, Xu Du recognized that this was Sapp's exorcism spell. Seeing this, Xu Du was not ready to break in, but turned around and asked, "Is there any other entrance?"
"Yes, but underground, that road is terrifying, you're sure you can handle it!" Caitou shouted from afar, and when they walked into the road below, many people almost fainted, but fortunately there was Sapu to help, and then Sapp told them that they should never take that road in the future, no one can, and now the paladin said that he wanted to go the other way, he thought that he was also a paladin, so it shouldn't be a big problem.
"Take me there. Xu Du said and walked towards Caitou, Caitou turned around to lead the way, he turned a corner, stopped, pointed to the ground and said, "This is it." ”
"Who would dig a hole here?" Xu Du asked in surprise as he watched Caitou open the small door on the ground.
"We need to keep the fish fresh, so in the past we would dig a hole behind our door, put the fish down, and then ask the mage of the city lord's house to make ice for us, but now there is none, since the couple came, the city lord has also left, and the city has become a city of death that is gradually being run by no one, by the way, sir, isn't your order very familiar with Mr. Zorgin, why didn't you send someone to help us? The head of the dish said and took a few steps back, still scared of the curse below.
Xu Du didn't answer, he jumped into the hole, the order is no longer the original order, and now it is basically doing things for the empire, and he has not paid attention to the people who have been violated by the devil at all, even if Ruoerjin comes to beg them, they will not come, so Xu Du has long been ready to rely on those few people to deal with it together.
"Ho-" As soon as he jumped into the hole, Xu Du suddenly took a breath of cool air, just at the moment he landed, he felt as if something was grabbing his heart, and the whole person was paralyzed for a moment, it seems that the things here are not as simple as nightmares, there must be some other demons, a single nightmare can make a small city so helpless that even the city lord and his mages are helpless.
Xu Du recited the incantation in his mouth, holding a lamp in one hand and a shield in the other, there was no evil aura here, but here it just gave people a kind of coldness, this cold was pinching his heart all the time, but he felt that he was about to faint, but fortunately, he was a paladin, and the curse here was not vicious enough to take people's lives, Xu Du barely survived such a small distance by relying on the spell.
Walking out of the hole, Xu Du glanced back at the cave, and suddenly it became very long in his eyes, and there seemed to be an ethereal voice sounding inside, Xu Du took a deep breath, calmed down, and turned his head to look ahead.
Pushing open the small door overhead, Xu Du climbed into the room, because the windows were nailed by wooden boards, there was no light in this house at all, Xu Du stood up and turned around, and saw clearly that this was a cellar, but there was almost nothing stored in it, only a few broken baskets, Xu Du climbed the ladder to the first floor, there was almost nothing here, only a few chairs that had been lifted off and a lot of cobwebs, and every room was empty.
"Probably upstairs. Xu Du walked up to the second floor, it is much more terrifying here, there are red patterns painted on the wall, as soon as he sees these patterns, Xu Du's face changes, the appearance of the pattern is two triangles opposite, the middle is a circle, the triangle below will draw a straight line, and some horizontal lines will be drawn on this straight line, this is a ritual to summon demons from Hades, when they want to summon, they will call out the name of the demons, so that the corresponding demons will rush over from Hades, of course, the summoner must first make a contract with the demon, otherwise he will be tempted by the demon to devour his soul。
The more he walked inside, the more terrifying he felt, the ritual patterns inside were not just ordinary patterns, but also included the spell array of resurrection, the spell array that bound the soul, and the spell array of the soul container, these patterns were either painted on the wall or placed on the ground with ropes, and no one destroyed it, it seemed that the people who came up at that time were afraid of being cursed.
When he came to the end, Xu Du stopped, the doors of every room in this house were open, but only the door in front of him was tightly closed, and there was no pattern painted on the door, Xu Du didn't think that there must be any terrible magic circle behind this door, maybe the people at that time didn't come here, because those magic circles before were already chilling.
Xu Du stretched out his hand to push the door, and before his hand touched it, laughter suddenly sounded behind him, but it passed all of a sudden, Xu Du glanced back, he comforted himself that there was a magic circle of soul binding and soul containers, and it was normal for unjust souls to be locked up in it. Although he is a paladin, his heart still sinks when he encounters this situation.
He no longer paid attention to any possible noise, reached out to push the door, and at the same time as touching the door, Xu Du shouted, he let go of his hand and took a few steps back, as if the door was the incarnation of a beast. At this time, Xu Du just wanted to get out of here, and when his hand touched the door just now, a girl's laughter sounded in his ears, but the feeling in his heart was different, as if something terrifying was staring at him, making it difficult for him to breathe, and making him can't help but shout to soothe himself.
Click!
The door sounded with the sound of opening the lock, followed by a creak, Xu Du no longer dared to face the thing behind the door, he turned around, laughter sounded behind him, Xu Du began to chant the talisman spell, so that the golden light of his whole body filled the entire corridor, and behind him, a light footstep sounded.
"How dare you find here!" A male or female voice sounded behind his ears, Xu Du's eyes widened, and it felt like someone was slowly licking his ears.
"Let's go, boy, let's go, go find me in my dreams, don't come here again!" Another voice sounded from behind, that voice was very distant, but Xu Du could hear who that voice was.
"Stinky old man, ah-" The strange voice roared, and a thud sounded behind Xu Du.
Xu Du didn't dare to linger for a while, he knew that Sapp couldn't delay for long, and suddenly the demon would run back, he needed to escape quickly, otherwise let the demon bring him over, then this small city would really be over.
Impulsive. The sound of knocking on the door sounded upstairs, Xu Du understood that it was the demon who came back, and now it was a waste of time to run back to the cave, and there was a special curse in the cave, I am afraid that before he ran to the other side, the demon would catch up with him, Xu Du looked around, and now there is only one way.
"Ah~ah, I'm ready to go to sea, take my small fishing boat, and go to the ...... of the sea" The vegetable head outside the house was humming their fishing song here, and suddenly there was a loud noise in the house behind, and a figure flew over, so frightened that the vegetable head reached out to cover his head.
"How did you get out of here?" asked the head as he looked at the big man lying on the ground coughing.
"Help me up, go to your house!" Xu Du said, he wanted to stand up from the ground, but found that there was no strength up and down his body, and the vegetable head on the side was smiling bitterly, for him, such a big person, thinking that he raised his eyes to look at the house, in the window that was knocked open, where a black mist gathered into a human form, staring at the two people here, but did not come out.
Snow Mountain Biramo all year round, Tiqiban and Sminno met here again, this time the sky has no color, some are just gloomy and dim, the two of them have been staring up at the sky, what they have been caring about is that Lotomen has not taken any action, of course, this is not to make them feel suspicious, but to make them feel pity, Lotomen is equivalent to giving up the entire human world by doing this, as for why they did this, these two behemoths have not understood.
"Smith, now that we've followed our plan, we're going to free Live, but you're sure you really want him to come out and help us regain our strength. Tikiban turned to look at the dragon that was still rotting.
"If you don't, who can lift the curse on me, this damn curse has been haunting me for two centuries, Lotomon he won't do this, you won't, the other two gods will die, disappear and disappear, no one can help me!" Smirno said this, his mouth was filled with green flames, his eyes became fierce again, and his mouth continued: "Livia must be released, let him lift this damn curse on me, and then take revenge on Lotomen!"
"Well, my brother, since you said so, I can only let him out, but you have to be clear, Livia is more than a hundred times stronger than us, and if he wants to destroy us, he only needs to wave his hand. Tikiban said, now he didn't want to put the monster from another world so much, because a long time ago, when Rivia first appeared, everything was demonized.
Shaking his head, forgetting the horrible past, Tikiban turned around and waved his hand, and a huge door that seemed to be made of blood appeared in front of his eyes, Tikiban glanced at Smino, and said as he walked towards the blood door: "Let's go, we need to go to the abyss, and below there, there is an abyss!"
