Something dug up under the house?

Somewhat surprised, Ma Wei followed behind Halder, the person in charge of construction, to the construction site not far from the hotel.

Because it was already night, the night construction must not make too much noise, just Ma Wei planned to renovate the original basement of the restaurant, increase the storage area, so the construction person in charge asked the workers to dig at night, paving bricks, but unexpectedly, the floor tiles just lifted, digging down less than two meters, suddenly dug out something.

The glow of a few kerosene lamps lit up the diminutive faces of the workers in the dark basement, who stood by the excavated dirt, not daring to move.

Who doesn't know what happened on Flower Street a few days ago?

If it hadn't been for Halder, the construction manager, who told them to stare here, they would have been scared away.

Walking into the basement, Ma Wei saw several gray-yellow clay pots exposed in the mud pit, most of which were still buried in the soil, only the top of the jar leaked.

Jumping into the mud puddle first, Mavi turned and hugged Yunia, stretched out his hand to the workers around him, and said in Frederick's language:

"Lights."

The workers did not react, and looked at Halder, the person in charge of construction, who was also at a loss, "Mr. Nicholas, what did you say?" ”

Can't understand Frederick ....

Ma Wei said in Windsor instead, "Give me the kerosene lamp." ”

"Oh oh oh!"

The workers hurriedly stepped forward, stood on the edge of the pit and handed over the kerosene lamp in their hands, resolutely refusing to jump into the pit, in their eyes, the clay pot in the pit was some kind of terrible symbol, maybe it was sealed with something like the devil....

Getting the kerosene lamp, Ma Wei put on gloves, squatted down, pulled out a fragment of a clay pot inserted in the soil, and found that the fragment was very corroded, I don't know how many years it had been buried in the soil, and it turned into powder with a light force.

Unable to see anything through a single fragment, Mavi asked Yunia to carry a kerosene lamp to light herself, then picked up a shovel and began to dig out the earth, ready to dig out the clay pot in the soil to see.

With Unia by his side, he has nothing to fear, and if there is a problem, Unia will naturally remind him, not to mention that the demon spirit wooden box in his arms has not reacted much, even if there is a threat, it is not much.

Ma Wei, who has been a sailor, moves fast, he has always disliked dragging mud and water, and in the blink of an eye, he planed out a dozen clay pots, just as he was about to continue digging down, breaking the casserole and asking the end....

With a 'bell', the shovel touched something hard and stopped.

"Ni... Mr. Nicholas... Don't dig in, I... I'm afraid..."Mr. Halder, the person in charge of construction, was so frightened that he trembled when he saw Ma Wei keep digging the earth, he had done so many years of engineering, and he had also dug things out of the ground, but before digging things, there had never been a transcendent creature like a millipede....

Ignoring Halder, Mavi thrust the shovel into the ground, bent down to pick up a clay pot stained with dirt, and carefully brushed away the soil, the body of the jar was so badly corroded, the lines were intermittent, and many places had been smoothed.

Vaguely, Ma Wei found that there were many strange patterns carved on the body of the can, twisted like vines, there was not much symbolic meaning except for the patterns, and the mud seal on the top of the can was intact, but the body of the can was full of cracks, revealing the dark inside.

"Daddy," said Yunia, who was carrying a kerosene lamp, whispered in Frederick's voice, "the jar has the scent of that millipede, and it is very strong, and there should be nothing left." ”

"So, the millipede that parasitized Mr. Hamlay's youngest son crawled out of the clay pot?"

"Well, it's quite possible."

According to Mavi's investigation, the doom of Mr. Hamlai's family began almost a year ago, on the day of Yunia's arrival.

There was an earthquake that day, and Mavi speculated that it might have cracked the clay pot underground, causing the sealed millipedes inside to crawl out, burrow through the dirt, and come into contact with Mr. Hamley's family.

Either that, after the earthquake, the millipede inside the clay pot woke up, crawled out of the jar, and parasitized on Quintto's body.

No matter what the truth is, the millipede parasitic on Quintor must have something to do with the clay pot in front of him!

Who keeps millipedes in clay pots?

Ma Wei inspected the clay pots one by one, and found that among the dozen or so clay pots excavated, all of them were damaged, and none of them were intact, let alone millipedes.

Realizing this, Ma Wei simply tore open the mud seal, intending to see what was going on inside the clay pot.

A clay pot was opened, and when the light was smeared, Mavi saw that the inside of the jar was black, as if it had been smeared, and at the bottom of the jar, he saw the corpse of a curled and completely shriveled millipede, only the thickness of his index finger, a full two circles smaller than the millipede parasitic on Quinto's body.

"Big brother!"

While Mavi was inspecting the clay pot, the Coming and Edward went to the basement, "I heard that something was dug up?" ”

"Well, some small jars .... Come over and help and see if these clay pots are all the same. ”

At Mavi's beckoning, the communication and Edward slid down the pit and opened all the clay pots, almost every jar had a black sticky paste, and at the bottom of the jar with black paste, there must have been a dead millipede corpse.

The only exception to this is the clay pot that Yunia says has a remnant of the evil aura, and not only does it not contain the corpse of a millipede, but it also does not contain the black paste that smears on the walls of the jar.

Asked Daniel to bring a table knife from the kitchen, Ma Wei scraped off a little paste on the wall of the jar, leaned to the tip of his nose and sniffed, a spicy and fishy smell suddenly ran along the nasal cavity to the top of his head, stimulating his scalp numb, and the whole person instantly refreshed.

Clay pots, black paste, millipedes.....

Could it be that the black paste is some kind of medicine used to feed millipedes?

Even in the texts left by the Apocalypse Cult, there is no information about black pastes and millipedes, which is actually normal, and encyclopedias are also flawed, and it is impossible to be all-encompassing, omniscient, and omnipotent.

There is something underneath the clay pot, and when Ma Wei was digging, the shovel touched some kind of hard object, if nothing else, it is likely to be related to the clay pot.

As long as you keep digging down, you can definitely dig up something else, but....

"Mr. Halder, fill the hole."

Ma Wei jumped into the pit, turned around and picked up Yunia, and then moved out a dozen clay pots one by one, hiding the fact that there were secrets under the clay pots.

"But according to the drawings, you want to build a two-story basement and fill in the holes...", the person in charge, Halder, stopped at a moment's notice.

"It's okay, just do the construction according to my requirements, work hard and overtime, and invite everyone to drink tomorrow."

"Well, since that's what you mean."

Halder and the two workers next to him breathed a sigh of relief, they didn't want to keep digging, this house was too weird, keep digging, who knows what will be dug up?

In case you dig something unclean....

As soon as Mavi walked on his front foot, Halder led the workers to fill in the dirt pit with his hind foot.

Back at the hotel, Wen looked at the dozen clay pots in Ma Wei's room and said, "Big brother, what do you want to do when you bring them back?" ”

"Of course, it's a good study, aren't you curious?" Ma Wei closed the door and motioned for Edward to use the Bloodline's ability to observe human blood and qi to monitor the surroundings, and to warn anyone as soon as they approached the room.

Using the dinner knife, Ma Wei scraped off the black paste attached to the inner wall of the clay pot little by little, and collected it in the teacup, a dozen clay pots, collected the black paste that filled two teacups, and then, Ma Wei closed the curtain and asked Yunia to take out the Mithril tag around her neck, and unfolded a shielding field that shrouded the room, isolating the outside world.

With all this done, Mavi closed his eyes and whispered out Badge's name.

A point of light floated out of his arms, conjuring up a phantom of Badge in mid-air, and Badge yawned as if he had just woken up, looking sleepy-eyed.

"You just slept?" Ma Wei frowned, Baji is not a human, he is a god, and he is just a projection of consciousness, and the act of sleeping has nothing to do with her at all.

"After you came to London, I put myself to sleep." "The goddess of fate is right above us, so I can only use my sleep to avoid her prying eyes, and when I summon me, I must activate the Mithril tag or I will be discovered by her," Badge explained. ”

Above our heads? What do you mean? Is it literal or is it that the three goddesses of fate are watching London?

Before Ma Wei could ask, Baji saw the black paste in the teacup, he let out a 'huh', floated to the teacup and took a closer look, looking at it, his face gradually became solemn.

"Where did you find the soul ointment?"
