Chapter 546: A Fellow Prisoner
In the early morning in K City, the sun has not yet risen, and the streets are filled with a little bit of the desert of last night.
Due to the impact of the tsunami, most of the shops on both sides of the street are still closed, and only a few cleaners are cleaning the streets.
At the door of the pet store, Mu Mianmeng squatted on a pony, holding a branch, and was intently teasing a row of marching ants on the ground, but he was unaware of the changes that happened in the house.
The little girl was having a lot of fun, and suddenly found that the cement floor in front of her was shrouded in a layer of shadows.
The little girl turned her head blankly, and saw a broad figure standing behind her, grinning at her.
"Auntie, you, are you okay?" The little girl hurriedly got up and jumped back to the store, leaned on the door, and asked a little scared.
Appearing at the door of the store was a middle-aged woman, with a stout figure, a dark face, rough skin, and calluses on her palms.
"Little girl, don't be afraid, my baby saw a small pet sold in their store on TV, crying and asking me to buy it for him, I came to buy a pet for my baby!" The woman smiled innocently and explained in an accent.
"Huh? But my shop is not open now...... "Little Lori is embarrassed."
"Not open? I've run so far, I can't go back empty-handed, right? Can the little girl take me to meet your adult, I'll tell him myself! The woman seemed to be in a hurry when she heard this, and stepped into the store on her own.
"Ah, Mu You, someone is looking for you...... Mu You? The little girl saw that the other party had entered the store, and subconsciously turned around and called Mu You.
But when I turned around, I found that Mu You was stunned in front of the table in the distance, motionless, as if petrified, no matter how she called, she was indifferent.
"That's the manager of this store?" The middle-aged woman asked.
"Yes, it was fine just now, but suddenly it didn't move......" After Xiao Lori finished speaking, she looked up at the woman, and just wanted to say that she should sit down first, but found that the woman was staring at Mu You directly, and the corners of her mouth suddenly hooked up a penetrating arc.
In the next second, in the stunned eyes of Xiao Lori, the woman stood in place, her head flew up directly, and the short hair behind her, which was originally a little hoarfrost, quietly turned into a smooth black hair nearly a meter long, and the woman's originally rough and dark face quickly changed into a girl's face with delicate facial features.
The girl's head dragged her long hair and flew by, and she approached Mu You in the blink of an eye.
At this time, Mu You was still in a state of immobility, and could only watch as the head flew towards him with a feverish smile, and the last bite was on the back of his neck.
This feeling is exactly the same as the scene in the game, when the character first entered the city of Enoch, he was bitten by a black shadow from behind to suck his blood.
"Hahahaha, it's over, your body is mine......" Mu You vaguely heard laughter behind him, and at the same time, the blood in his body was being quickly sucked away.
The encounter in the game, coupled with the scene of the present world at this moment, Mu You has already understood everything.
The human head in front of him was Lilith's human head, and Cain's only remaining body.
In the game, the headless corpse hidden in the blood coffin is Cain's original body.
The once down-and-out Cain was taken in by Lilith, but her twelve disciples were jealous and joined forces to assassinate him, and his head was cut off and burned, leaving only a headless corpse.
By the time Lilith sensed that something was wrong and arrived, Cain had already been killed.
Lilith felt ashamed of Cain, so she sent the remnants of his body into the artifact 'Coffin of Resurrection', and released her own blood to fill the sarcophagus, hoping to resurrect Cain with her own blood and the resurrection power of the artifact.
Unbeknownst to him, the resurrected Cain, instead of thanking Lilith for her kind deeds, dragged her into the sarcophagus while she was losing too much blood and was weak.
I don't know what kind of twists and turns Mu You went through, but in short, when Lilith finally got up from the pool of blood again, the reincarnation ritual had been completed, and Lilith was completely occupied by Cain's consciousness.
Cain used Lilith's power to cleanse the twelve disciples with blood for revenge, and from then on he assumed the identity of the god of blood.
Needless to say, Cain went mad in his pursuit of power, offended the gods, and was finally judged by the gods together, and suffered the punishment of dismemberment, and the rest of his body is still trapped in the major dangerous places in the real world, bearing the scorching sun forever.
What everyone didn't know was that Cain's body, that is, the headless corpse, did not disappear because Cain was reincarnated, it was still soaked in the bottom of the blood coffin, and under the power of resurrection, it remained alive.
Although the corpse had no soul and had become a 'walking dead', it was still alive and under Cain's control.
It was none other than the headless corpse that rescued Lilith's head in the first place.
Cain manipulated the corpse and carried the bloody coffin to the place where the head was tortured, and after saving the head, he fled back to the server for refuge.
It wasn't until today that the Blood Coffin welcomed its second visitor, and Cain was given a new chance to be reincarnated.
But at this moment, the scene is just a doppelganger of Mu You, and if you want to complete the reincarnation ceremony, it is not enough to simply drag his game character into the coffin, but more importantly, the storage of the soul, so in reality, Cain's head must also actually come into contact with Mu You in order to send the soul into his body......
In general, this is a trap that has been planned for a long time.
From Mu You entering the scene, to Cain borrowing the body of a little boy to come to Earth, to tricking him into opening the sarcophagus in the scene......
Everything was designed for the last step: to open the sarcophagus willingly, and then be dragged into a pool of blood to complete the reincarnation ritual.
"Hehe, do you finally understand? It's a pity it's late......"
The girl's melodious voice continued to come from behind her, as beautiful as a wind chime, but the words spoken were vicious and unbelievable.
"It's your greed that hurts you, if you can take it when you see it, and don't covet the artifact, how can you fall into the reincarnation trap? It's the same as the woman at the beginning...... At the beginning, in the blood coffin, she had the ability to resist, but she didn't, and the guilt for me made her hesitate a little, and then I got it, hehe, hypocritical kindness...... After all, you are all at your own expense! ”
Mu You didn't refute, and he didn't have the ability to refute at all at this time, because he had already sensed that an alien thought was driving straight into his consciousness.
"Hee-hee, I've found it, the sea of spirits ......"
In the empty and quiet space, a boy's sneer suddenly sounded.
The little boy descended from the sky and finally landed on a white mist of water.
The boy was rickety, his right leg was born disabled, and he limped around on the sea, looking at the surrounding fog, he couldn't help but pout, and with a wave of his hand to drive away, the surrounding fog quickly dissipated.
However, looking at the scene unfolding in front of him, the boy frowned instead.
"A ...... Tower? ”
The boy looked in amazement at the ceiling overhead, and at the staircase leading to the upper floor in the distance. Other people's knowledge of the sea is only a lake and sea, or a flat land, how can this person have a tower in his head?
The boy didn't think too much about it, and hurriedly walked to the stairs and climbed up the stairs, wanting to find Mu You's true consciousness dwelling, as long as he found Mu You's consciousness body and replaced it, he could complete the reincarnation ritual.
In his opinion, all this in front of him is nothing more than a protective trick, since it is a 'tower', then the consciousness of the other party is likely to be hidden on the top of the tower.
So the boy began to climb the tower with great effort, but he soon found that the tower was too high, and he still did not reach the top after climbing nearly 100 floors.
Fortunately, the speed of time in the world of consciousness is different from that of the outside world, and an hour here may only be a moment in the outside world.
The boy continued to climb the tower, and after several hours of climbing, he finally found the top of the tower.
"Thunder...... Peak? ”
The boy looked at the plaque hanging at the top of the tower and could not quite understand the meaning of the name.
Once at the top of the tower, the boy rushed into it and eagerly began to search.
But before he could act, he suddenly felt a strange coolness coming from behind, the boy's body froze, and he turned around mechanically, and saw a pair of snake pupils appear in the air behind him at some point.
"Giggle...... Boy, this snake has been waiting for you for a long time...... From now on, you will be the plaything of this snake, and you will stay here forever......"
A sneering voice suddenly came from the ceiling overhead.
The boy couldn't help but shudder, his whole body couldn't stop trembling, for some reason, the moment he saw the pair of snake pupils, he actually felt the most primitive fear, it seemed that the thing in front of him was some kind of heavenly existence, he couldn't turn up any waves in front of the other party, he could only be reduced to a plaything.
Waiting for him for a long time? Is this a trap?
The boy quickly realized this, and while shocked, he didn't care about anything else, turned and ran.
The boy didn't care about his disabled feet at all, and he rolled and climbed down the stairs as fast as he could, more than ten times faster than when he went upstairs.
Even so, he could still hear the sound of rustling behind him at all times, the sound of a large number of snakes climbing and spitting letters.
The boy was shaking like chaff, he didn't dare to look back, reincarnation or something had long been left in his mind, and now his only thought was to escape from here as soon as possible.
However, this tower is more strange than imagined, when it came up, it climbed more than 100 floors at most, and at this moment it went down the tower, but it went down more than 400 floors, and it was still far away from the bottom of the tower, it seemed that this tower had no bottom at all, and it led to the Nine Hells.
The boy became more and more panicked, but he could only keep running away in sweat.
Finally, as he entered a certain floor, he vaguely saw a door of light.
The boy was overjoyed, like a drowning man grasping at the only straw, and hurried towards the gate.
But after approaching the door, he realized that there was something wrong with this door, saying that it was a 'door', which was more like a chaotic mass of energy.
The god of blood he inherited was a standard order god, so he was extremely sensitive to this chaotic energy.
The boy had the feeling that if he came near the door, he would be entangled in this dangerous mass, and that he would probably never be able to get rid of it for the rest of his life.
However, if it is compared to the thing chasing behind him, this threat in front of him is nothing, even if he is entangled by this thing, it is more troublesome at most, and it will not kill him, but the chasing soldiers behind him are really things that can make him worse than death!
It's easy to see which side to choose!
The boy only paused at the door, and then rushed to the light door without hesitation.
The moment he came into contact with the light gate, sure enough, the pitch-black thing quickly wrapped around him, and the surging chaotic energy almost suffocated the boy, but he didn't have time to pay attention to it, like a person who fell into the quagmire, forcibly dragged the heavy object on his body, and crawled out of the quagmire......
At the same time, in reality, the girl's head lying on the back of Mu You's neck suddenly opened her eyes.
Consciousness returned to the skull, and Cain hurriedly walked away from Mu You like a ghost, forcibly interrupted the reincarnation ritual, and flew towards the body of the headless middle-aged woman at the gate.
Fortunately, there is no one else in the store at the moment, the reincarnation ritual has just been lifted, and it will take some time for that guy to resume his actions, and there is only a weak little girl at the door, and no one can stop him from leaving!
Cain laughed like a catastrophe and flew towards the middle-aged woman's headless body.
However, just as it was about to fall back onto the neck of the headless body, she suddenly felt a pain in the back of her head, as if a hand had firmly grasped her hair from behind.
The girl's head turned mechanically and looked behind her.
Behind him, the little Lori who screamed in fright just now was expressionlessly pulling her by the hair, forcibly pulling her in front of her, and then lifting her head and looking directly into her eyes.
"You think this is a place where you can come and go whenever you want?"
“……”
The girl's skull, with shock written all over her face. The little Lori in front of her is obviously just a harmless little Lori, why can she hold a human head so calmly, and say such cold words calmly?
Cain couldn't understand it, but he didn't have time to think about it, so he immediately controlled the body of the woman in front of him to move and pounced on the little girl.
No matter how strong the other party's psychological quality is, after all, he is just a child who is powerless, and it is impossible to resist the strength of a woman in the prime of life.
However, in the face of the headless female corpse that attacked, the little girl just raised her foot at will, and with a flying kick, she kicked the female corpse far away, knocking over a table and chair.
The girl's eyes widened, and she was even more dazed.
"Ahh
Just then, another scream rang out from behind.
The head subconsciously looked back, and saw that at the staircase on the second floor, a little girl wearing pajamas and holding a sleeping pillow pointed in horror in the direction of it: "People, everyone's head ......"
As she spoke, the little girl rolled her eyes and fainted.
The head instantly understood something and immediately turned around.
Sure enough, the little girl who was holding it in front of her at this moment quickly transformed into a white-faced young man.
"In order to wait for you to send it to the door, it really delayed our efforts for a long time......"
The young man sneered, took a birdcage from the side, grabbed the hair of the girl's head without mercy, threw it into the cage, and then locked the cage door.
Pitfall! Sure enough, it's a trap!
The head of the girl who was imprisoned in the birdcage suddenly showed a sad and frightened expression on her face.
But before it could say anything, footsteps sounded behind it.
The head looked back and saw that Mu You was walking towards it, and a figure flashed halfway, and another figure separated beside him.
"Why did this little girl run out at this time...... Well, when I turned around, I told her that it was a hallucination that I saw in a nightmare...... I should believe it......" The watchman thought in pieces, didn't even look at the birdcage, walked up the stairs quickly, picked up the little girl who had passed out, and sent her back to the room.
"You're right, it's in my nature to be greedy."
Mu You walked to the birdcage and looked at the head of the girl who was glaring at him angrily: "It's a pity that you don't know enough about my greed...... What I covet is more than just an artifact......"
"And ...... What? The head subconsciously asked.
Mu You didn't speak, but took out a palm-sized crystal gem from his arms.
In the transparent gem, a blue caterpillar was sealed, and at this moment, the layer of chaotic energy that had been entangled in the caterpillar's body had disappeared.
The poison of chaos is difficult to remove once it is in the body, but it can be transferred to other consciousness bodies with one heart, which the fairy girl has demonstrated to him before.
And just now, Mu You used Cain to invade his body, wanting to take away his opportunity, relying on the fright of the snake to force the other party to 'take the initiative' to inherit the poison of chaos.
"Click......"
Just as he was thinking, the crystal in his hand quietly cracked a crack, followed by more cracks one after another.
After getting rid of the influence of the poison of chaos, the protective shell created by the fairy girl with tears no longer has the need to exist, and it seems that it is about to break out of the shell in advance.
