Chapter 222: Brick Tower Town Demon
The tower was pitch black, I looked up from below, and I didn't see Gu Yu, I realized that I might have been fooled, I turned around and wanted to go out, and when I looked back, the door that came in was gone!
It didn't close, it disappeared, and like the surrounding walls, there were traces of peeling, but it was actually a wall.
The so-called concern is chaos, just now I was too eager to find Gu Yu, so I credulously believed what the voice said, and in the face of the life-and-death problem of my lover, even if I knew that there was little hope, I would come in to verify it.
It is as if parents know that the kidnapped child may be ripped off by the kidnappers, but they still choose not to call the police and pay the ransom.
I patted the place where it was originally a door, and slapped off a layer of dust from above, listening to the sound that the wall was solid, and the disappearance of the door should not be an illusion.
In my impression, pagodas are generally Buddhist buildings, and there should always be some stone carvings, murals or statues related to religion, but the space here is bare, and the brochure does not introduce the purpose of building this pagoda in the first place.
But the ancients never built an empty tower to idle, and then abandoned it, thinking of the Leifeng Pagoda that fell down a long time ago, and the legend of the White Lady, I can't help but feel that this place is even more weird, it trapped me, should it be...... Suppress demons, right?
"Hello? Can you hear ME? I knew the voice was near the brick tower, so I shouted.
This tower is a dead gourd, and there is not a single window, fortunately, my spiritual power can be used outside, but at this time, there is a dead silence outside the tower.
I thought of the brain wave I sensed earlier, and it came from the inside of this tower, and if there was something hidden in the tower, it was definitely not from above.
The floor was paved with green bricks, and I suspect that no one has come in since it was built, because the bricks, though old, show no signs of artificial wear.
I probed my spiritual tentacles into the ground, and it turned out that I really found a brain wave, and I said in my heart that it was it, it was a human or a ghost, and I wanted to dig it out and walk it.
The brain wave was faint, but it was completely immune to my tentative attacks, and I was almost certain that it was the one that saved the orc's life.
The dagger was inserted into the gap between the bricks, and I would not have succeeded in doing so if the tower had just been built, because the bricks fit so tightly that I was afraid that not a single piece of paper could be inserted into it at that time.
Fortunately, nothing can withstand the wear and tear of time, and the temperature and humidity on the island are high, so I warped a few times, and then I dropped a brick, and as long as there was the first one, the rest would be easy.
The rammed earth layer under the blue bricks seems to be a composite material, and the color of the soil is red, and I have heard that the nobles of the long time ago would mix cinnabar in the soil to seal the tomb and have the effect of warding off evil spirits.
But I'm not a doctor or an archaeologist, so I can't tell if the ingredients in the soil are cinnabar or not, whether it's or not, I have to continue, so after digging for a while, broken bones appeared in the soil.
I'm very familiar with corpses, human bones and the like, and after digging out a few broken bones, I dug up a skull, and the bones were buried in the soil, which had changed color, and the skull was full of dirt, and the brain waves were definitely not emitted by it.
Digging down, there were two bones stacked in a foot of earth, and if the forensic doctor was present, they might be able to tell by the order of the bones whether the corpse was buried properly.
It's a pity that homicides are happening every day nowadays, and who can care about the old cases of a hundred years ago, the place I dug was in the middle of the tower, and the brainwave was under the bones.
First of all, it is certain that it is definitely not human, in such an environment, human beings cannot survive, and it is more likely to be zombies.
Just as I was about to dig in, there was a sudden knocking sound outside the tower, and a muffled voice came in, as if calling my name.
It's Gu Yu! I was pleasantly surprised, and I didn't care about digging anymore, as long as Gu Yu was okay, I answered, and just wanted to get up and knock on the wall twice to let him know that I was there, but my wrist was suddenly choked by a cold thing.
It was a hand that came out of the dirt, and the white and cold fingers grabbed my wrist tightly, and I thought to myself that it was really a zombie, and I wanted to break free from its grip with my backhand.
But that hand was so strong that I felt like I would break my hand and even be torn off my arm by touching it.
At this point, the dirt beneath my feet became as thin as a swamp, and I couldn't borrow any strength from my legs, and I watched as one arm and two feet sank into the dirt.
Then came my knee, and I balanced with my other hand, but there was no support point in the mud, and soon I would be sinking into the ground in a half-kneeling position.
I shouted Gu Yu's name loudly, calling for help as hard as I could, holding my head high and making as many sounds as I could.
The brick tower began to shake, obviously under attack from an external force, and I struggled even harder, knowing that the mental attack was ineffective against it, but still launched a fierce attack on it regardless of it.
"This tower itself is a cage, you can't get out." The voice whispered in my ear.
"What's the big deal about a dilapidated house, we are a demolition team!" I gritted my teeth, and my chest was already lying on the mud.
Hehe...... With the low laughter of this voice, the brick tower was finally broken out of a gap, with the gap as the center of the circle, and the tower body was shaken out of several cracks.
There was a hint of excitement and anticipation in the laughter of this voice, and the rest was all joy, I suddenly felt bad, it let go of my hand, what does it mean, before I had time to think about it, Gu Yu rushed in.
He dragged me out of the mud and left the brick tower as fast as he could, and the tower was so damaged that it collapsed in a matter of seconds.
"Gu Yu thinks-" Before I could finish my words, another sound suddenly sounded from the collapsed ruins, like the sound of glass breaking.
There was no glass on the brick tower, and there was dirt under the tower, and it was less than two seconds before a man jumped out of the ruins.
She was dressed in a bright red wedding dress embroidered with pink peonies, and the color was extremely bright, and I had never seen a red like this...... Uncanny!
The dress seemed to be woven with blood, which fed the peony and gave the flower a bewitching color.
The bride wore no hijab, her thick black hair was draped over her shoulders, her face was pale, her lips were purple, and the most terrible thing was her eyes, which were black and hollow, and there were no eyeballs.
She suddenly opened her mouth and laughed, the corners of her mouth almost cracking to the base of her ears, and there was no tongue or teeth in her mouth.
It was a monster at all, or perhaps the way she died was very miserable, her body casting shadows in the sunset day, and it was clear that she was a physical being, not a ghost.
It turns out that the demon of Brick Tower Town is not me, it is her, no wonder the origin of the tower is not written in the tourist brochure, it is estimated that there will be many tourists who refuse to go to such an ominous place to take pictures.
Who would have thought that there was really a monster sealed under the tower, and she escaped now, at this time, she lured me in, and then used me to force Gu Yu to destroy the tower.
Now that she is free, how will she repay our 'benefactor'?
"I've finally waited for this day." The monster bride closed her mouth, but the familiar voice came from her.
I couldn't see her eyes because she didn't have eyeballs, and her expression was hard to recognize, but I could hear her excitement in her tone.
I want to ask her, what are you waiting for this day to do, destroy the earth?
But before I could ask, she said, "My chance for revenge has come, and you will help me get out of here." ”
She said this very politely, I looked at Gu Yu, I don't know if it was the reason for the monster to lift the ban, although the sun had sunk in the west, but the sky was originally very clear, but at this time, it was suddenly covered with dark clouds, and the sky and the earth changed color.
"The outside world has changed, and you can't find an enemy when you go out." Gu Yu said lightly.
"I know that the world has changed, and they have only trapped my body, but my consciousness can still perceive the people and things around me, in your words, the times are advancing, and I have learned a lot."
The way I heard the monster bride speak before, I didn't expect her to be an ancient, and I dare to love her for more than 200 years, she has been keeping pace with the times, constantly learning, and improving every day.
Now that she finally came up, there was no obstacle to communicate with us at all, she explained a few words and then said: "That old immortal is not so easy to hang, do you think she is a good thing, she is under the banner of subduing demons and eliminating demons, and she cultivates evil arts by herself, no matter the ends of the world, I will also find her, let her taste the taste of life is better than death." ”
I cleared my throat, whether it's human or not, after being locked up for so long, there must be something wrong mentally, and it is normal for her to just release a few words of complaint to us.
But we weren't her allies and weren't obligated to help her, so I said, "Sorry, we're not going the same way, we have something important to do to get to Lanka." ”
In fact, whether she is a monster or not, it has nothing to do with us whether she wants revenge, it is strange that she sent orcs to kidnap Tian Xiuxiu and them, causing us so much trouble, and trying to lure the giant python out to eat us, I am not so generous, I can be friends with people who want to kill themselves.
"Lanka? There are no living people left in that place, and you are looking for zombies? ”
"How do you know?" Gu Yu asked.
"There is a man who escaped from there who has come to hide here, and you have seen him just now." As the monster groom spoke, the yellow-haired orc jumped out of the woods, and a few leaps came to her, with very docile eyes and expressions.
Gu Yu looked at the orc and asked, "What about the owner of the Baiyun Inn, who is also dead?" ”
The yellow-haired orc said, "Is it the old man with the white beard, the one who wears a white vest and shakes a fan all day?" ”
Gu Yu's face sank and nodded: "Yes." ”
"I didn't die when the virus broke out, but a few days later, Lanka was attacked by a group of pirates, and all the survivors boarded the yacht to escape, but there were still five boats that were blown up by missiles, and the person you said was on the blown yacht."
Red Night only said that the person was a demon expert, not that he was King Kong's incorruptible body, the entire boat was blown up, and the people on it were fine!
"The pirates just wanted to steal supplies, they bombed and killed people on the island, and it was already a dead island." The orc said with a little sadness.
What's more frustrating than knowing you've been disqualified before you reach the finish line?
