Chapter 853: The Grave
The world seems to be spinning.
No, it's the darkness whirling.
In the deepest part of Helios, the invisible space is also constantly reversed and circulated under the secret rites of the two great masters, forming one invisible vortex after another.
Sometimes Huai Shi is in a trance, and he will find that he is walking on the ceiling, and sometimes he will find that this is just his own illusion.
In the silence, except for the sound of rats muttering, all that was left was the sound of a small cart gurgling and turning beneath the skeleton's ass.
At one point, he suspected that he was lost in a dizzying labyrinth.
The further forward it goes, the more silent it becomes, containing the aura of abyssal precipitation, which makes people perceive a vague uneasiness.
"Where is the front?"
"In the vast space and the high price of land, every inch of space must be included in the scope of effective use...... Where else could it be next to the garbage dump?"
Tong Ji said slowly: "Cemetery." ”
Helios's, cemetery.
All the dead alchemists are buried here.
"To be precise, it is a part of the alchemists whose ambition is greater than their ability, and whose ideals transcend reality. Tong Ji shrugged regretfully: "In short, it's the one that doesn't come well." ”
It's a shame that the reality is so cruel.
In the precious territory of Helios, there is no place for the incompetent.
Even if he died, he didn't have the treatment of a grand funeral.
They're too safe, they're too ordinary.
Their skills can neither fulfill their ambitions nor cause enough poison. It can neither work miracles nor turn into calamities.
There are many alchemists, and even if they die, the calamity precipitated in their shells is enough to turn the corpse into a strange relic, or even an abyssal species.
For example, once the Great Master dies, the calamities or miracles condensed by the secret rites of his life will be gathered into something solemn and terrifying.
And some people, dead is dead.
It can only be burned to ashes.
For the sake of the face that used to work for Helios, put it in a small box, and throw it away in a random place that is not in the way of the eyes and the way.
They are not expected to have any surplus value in the end.
In a sense, this cemetery has become extremely mocking.
The incompetent who have a place to die and bury themselves finally gather together to keep warm, and the remaining essentia endlessly tells the delusions of the past, but even ghosts cannot be formed.
Only the material of shame is left, and the eternal is preserved.
"Since there is no way to go further, why not return to the present situation?" asked Huai Shi suspiciously.
"Do you really think Helios is a bus? get on and off whenever you want?"
Tong Ji sneered: "Indeed, in order to maintain the miracle of Helios's gods to the greatest extent and avoid the outflow of technology, there are still people with ill intentions...... Helios returns only once every seventy years.
But the alchemists who monopolized all this are still not enough, and want a longer monopoly and greater benefits. Just look at the rotten look of the Stone Cauldron Society.
From the first person who wants to make a personal profit, until now, the rules have become more and more stringent.
By now, it's very different from the beginning.
Those who come from the present realm can only stay in a cycle for a maximum before they are banished, and those born on Helios can never leave. ”
These laws are inscribed in every soul and cannot be disobeyed. ”
For the alchemists buried here, they were born in prison for this miracle.
The funny thing is that some people leave only to dream of coming back.
In silence, they crossed the final corridor.
Everything in front of me suddenly opened up.
Even though it's still dim.
But under the light of the skeleton's headlamp, it was enough for Huai Shi to glimpse the far away.
It's in this vast, dead space.
It's like you've been on a farm.
But there was no crop on the flat steel ground, only one after another low cross tombstones maintained absolutely precise distances and gaps, sitting on the earth, like dead seedlings, spreading to the end of the sight.
Above them, a massive building-like structure hung high, revealing its silhouette.
It was a long-abandoned furnace core.
But now, even the discarded furnace core is full of cracks, like a broken heart. It broke in the middle and fell to the earth in the lower half of the atrium, leaving a terrible scarre.
But in the discarded furnace core that fell to the ground in half, there was a faint light.
It was as if someone had lit a fire in the ruins of a collapsed tower.
There are also traces of human existence!
Huai Shi subconsciously clenched the hated water, turned his head, and looked at the skeleton that was also forced.
The skeleton scratched its head, "I haven't been here yet...... Is there anyone?"
Huai Shi did not answer.
Who can tell whether it is a human or a ghost?
He'd already met a skeletal who had picked him up in his nest, and he couldn't expect his luck to be so bad that he would come across something that wasn't at all hostile to him.
"That's what it is, right...... What's that......"
The skeleton pulled the pan out of his rib and waved it excitedly: "It's time for a bloody battle!"
“...... No, no, no, you wait, wait, okay. ”
Huai Shi's expression twitched: Why are you so brave!
Huai Shi finally held down the skeleton and the dog together, lifted the hated water, and lightened his steps, planning to touch it first to see what to understand.
As a result, as soon as I took two steps, I heard a gurgling sound behind my buttocks.
As soon as I turned around, I saw an innocent skeleton on the cart.
Look at each other. Thirty-nine
In the silence, Huai Shi had the urge to grab her hair again.
Lao Tzu is a gold medal fighter of the Astronomical Society, a group of backstabbing experts, and the stuffy stick overlord of the Ivory Tower, how can you meet your group of foolish teammates, it is not professional at all!
Soon, Huaishi found an alternative way.
He pulled a piece of tape and simply tied its big rotor to the dog's back!
The transfer is completed in an instant, and the skeleton soldier LVUP → skeleton cavalry!
Problem solved!
It's just a sneaky stalker followed by a doggy skeleton and riding a dog, how do you look at it.
But I can't take care of it anymore.
They had already seized the time to lurk next to the falling core.
The discarded furnace core, which was already full of cracks and empty cavities, was now emitting a hallucinatory light.
Huai Shi cautiously approached, held her breath, poked her head out, and looked in from beyond the crack. Soon, beside him, a dog's head carrying a skeleton pulled at the wall, slowly rising in height and looking in.
Curious.
"Mommy......" The skeleton couldn't help but sigh in a low voice: "It's so miserable......"
Huai Shi couldn't help but glare back at him, raised her finger and made a shushing motion, the skeleton looked dazed, not knowing what he meant.
But the people inside were not aware of their coming.
In the dim light of the candles, it is a humble display like a slum beggar.
There wasn't even a table, countless messy books were thrown haphazardly on the floor, and the unkempt old man knelt in it, muttering something hoarsely, as if in prayer.
It's more like swearing.
The stench is tangy.
I don't know if it's the smell of poop, dirt, or decay......
But he was still unconscious, and he was still writing and drawing on the paper, but the pen in his hand had long since broken, there was no ink, and the paper scattered around him did not record any exquisite techniques or the essence of alchemy.
There are only messy graffiti, and it is impossible to distinguish the graffiti of the content.
Huai Shi bet that even the thing he drew with his toe was a hundred times closer to the truth than this!
But he didn't dare to show his head at all.
The most feared people are Taoist monks, monks, old people and children, but walking hell is also afraid of these things......
Dressed as a religious person in Hell, eight out of ten are tainted with depraved divinity, and they are more than a star and a half more powerful than the other monsters. As for the old men and children who are alive and kicking around in hell, it is even more terrifying.
Pull any one out and you can make ten series of horror movies.
After taking a deep breath, Huai Shi became more and more cautious.
Listen intently to the messy words in the wind.
I heard only a myriad of curses and hoarse unknown words, interspersed with indistinct sentences, repeated over and over again, never ending.
"That dog mongrel...... Bastard stuff...... Those madmen...... It's all crazy...... It's all crazy...... It's been abnormal for a long time...... Hedi ...... Hedi ......"
The crazy figure cursed in vain, sometimes shrilling strangely, sometimes hoarsely roaring: "It's too late, we've all made a big mistake...... It's all my fault...... It's all my ......."
"I shouldn't have presided over the Secret Rite of Fate for that dog mongrel...... What did I do? What ...... I did?"
"No, it's not my fault......"
"They deserve it...... I also...... Deserve...... We all have to pay the price! This is the consequence of disobeying the law! Disobeying the piper...... Wrong...... Contrary to the ...... of Helios"
He smiled vaguely, and suddenly choked up, as if he burst into tears: "It's all my fault, it's all my fault, why did you let him give birth......
I was back then, I was ...... Garand, that damn freak, should be strangled in swaddling clothes......"
At that moment, Huai Shi was like a thunderbolt.
It wasn't because of the implicit meaning in those words, but because the crazy old man suddenly turned his head, and his empty eye sockets were scorched, full of blood, and slipped down.
looked at Huai Shi.
Shed tears.
"Please ......"
He said, "Please ...... for me Condolences to you......"
Thunder!
At that moment, the hated water in Huai Shi's hand burst out with a loud noise, tearing the air, and burst into the narrow cavity from the outside in, entangled in thunder and blood, and smashed towards the old man!
can change faster than he does.
The moment he broke into the breach, the dim lights went out silently.
Everything is gone without a trace.
Just phantoms.
Huai Shi's movements paused.
When he slowly lowered his head, he saw countless pages flying in the churning air current, and the source of the stench......
In the corner, the corpse of an old man who had long since decomposed.
He was already dead.
He still holds a broken pen in his hand.
The skeleton's headlamp illuminated the floor, revealing the last of his handwriting.
Full of hatred for the name written.
Rather, it is a futile curse, which simply does not work.
“...... Add...... Rand?"
Huai Shi was silent for a long time, unbelievable.
It's not just that he'd just heard the name of the Pied Piper.
It's the name in front of you.
Before his death, the old man did not resent what Publius had done, but instead resented Garand? What is even more incredible is that Grand Master Garand was actually born above Helios?
