Chapter 302: Ouroboros

The surface of the palace was moved around by nothing else, but a dense crowd of people, who were like skinned people, bloody from head to toe, crawling like spiders on the outer walls of the palace.

Because there are too many of them, some people step on other people's bodies and climb up, stacking several layers, and those who are pulled down need to climb up again.

Their goal seems to be the top of the palace, but we looked at it for a long time and didn't see anyone climb to the top.

These people seemed to be fighting for something they would never reach, and Gu Yu whispered, "It's a bit like fighting for the opportunity to lift." ”

"Huh? What? ”

"I once read a miscellaneous book about strange things, and there is a little story in it, which says that there is a hole in the underworld, and a rope hangs down from the top of the cave, and as long as the ghost climbs out along the rope, there is a chance to be reincarnated, and there is only one rope and only one quota, but there are many ghosts, so whoever wants to go up must first tear others down, and the result is that no ghost can succeed."

"And then an infinite loop, never ending? Dizzy, these people are not dead, why don't they leave the palace? ”

"I can't do without it."

Gu Yu's expression was cold, he parked the car on the side of the road, and the sound of the car's engine did not attract the attention of the skinless man.

"Alas~" I let out a long sigh, "their brainwaves are still there, but there is only one thought left, evil." ”

Who is manipulating them to repeat such a desperate climb, they are not zombies, they are all living people, looking at the scene in front of me as if it were a real hell, my heart seems to sink into an ice hole, the palace is still magnificent, but it has become a bloody prison, trapping these unfortunate people.

Gu Yu held my hand, the thick and warm palm brought me a steady stream of warmth, I held his hand instead, in addition to the six-legged monster and the zombie group, there must be something else, extremely evil here, I let my brain calm down, close my eyes and start a deeper search.

Through the layers of brain waves on the walls of the palace, my spiritual tentacles reached into the interior of the palace, there were many rooms inside, the skinless people were all concentrated outside, and the palace was empty.

I was fully prepared to wipe out the abnormal brain waves as soon as I found them, so my mental strength was stretched to an extremely sensitive state.

At this time, there is no room for a slight difference, because holding Gu Yu's hand tightly, I can devote myself to this hunt.

However, the abnormal brain wave activity came from the underground of the palace, not at the top of the palace, and I threw a spirit bomb at the brain wave under the palace.

In fact, before I did this, I had already noticed the weirdness of this brain wave, and the brain waves I usually perceive are wavy and linear, more like an electrocardiogram.

But this brain wave is a circle, with no head or tail, no beginning and no end, and there are no ups and downs, and my spirit bomb has no effect on it.

What exactly is this brainwave?

It didn't respond to my attacks, and I increased the intensity of my attacks, whether it was slashing, pulling, smashing, or squeezing, the ring-shaped brain wave would always return to its original shape after a brief deformation.

If it's not dead, why didn't it fight back?

One by one, questions popped up in my head, that this unsteamed, unchewed thing did not look like a living thing at all.

I opened my eyes suddenly and said to Gu Yu, "We have to go in." ”

Gu Yu nodded, he used the air to separate the skinless people, cleared a way on the steps, and walked to the terrace in the middle of the palace, I pointed to a door according to the location in my head.

Gu Yu pushed away the skinless man who was crawling on the door, and the skinless man was pushed by the external force, falling off the wall like a dumpling, and then quickly climbed up from elsewhere.

When we entered, there was a red-toned room with a golden platform, or a pagoda, which I didn't know much about Tibetan culture, so I couldn't really name it.

According to the positioning, the annular brainwave is under this room, and the distance is not close, so the two rooms should be connected by a dark tunnel.

Gu Yu walked around the golden platform, if there was really a secret passage, there must be a mechanism in the house, and he must be looking for a mechanism that could open the secret passage.

This room is not in the main seat of the royal palace, but it must have been visited by many tourists in the past.

Visitors naturally can't mess with the things in the room when they come in, and if the brainwave below is a zombie, it will inevitably leave traces when it goes down.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Gu Yu to find the mechanism that opened the secret passage, and the golden platform panned forward after the sound of a winch turning, revealing the square entrance below.

There was indeed a secret passage below, and there were footprints on the stairs, and it was clear that people or corpses often entered and exited from here.

There are secret passages hidden in the tourist attractions, and tourists who have traveled here may not have thought of it.

Of course, it is not uncommon for ancient princes and nobles to build a secret room and a secret passage in their own houses, and it is a royal palace, in case of a rebellion, take their wives and children to hide inside, maybe... Safe, right?

I sniffed the smell of the air in the dark tunnel, there was no breath of living people, only the smell of blood, well, the smell of the same kind, and I had a judgment in my heart.

We walked through the neat secret passage and entered a secret room, which was said to be a secret room, but in fact there were more than 300 square meters, and there were no red balls in it, only a red stone platform two meters square was placed in the center of the room.

There was a multi-armed zombie sitting cross-legged on the stage, I counted it curiously, it had a total of twenty arms, two normal in front of it, the remaining eighteen in the back, and nine on each side.

It maintains its appearance before its death, with white and tender skin, a delicate face, thick black hair tied up on the top of its head, white long tassel earrings, golden arm rings, just sitting on the stone platform with its eyes closed, it has a special attraction.

That's right, it's attraction, and I quickly added 'and demonic energy' in my heart.

"The look is quite unique, and I wear it like that... The female singer who sang about everything N years ago. I whispered, "What a high-level zombie full of regional characteristics." ”

The mystery of Tibet is not unrelated to its religious beliefs, this zombie may have loved Tibetan culture before his death, and after mutation, he boldly innovated, blending the sacred and the demonic together, making it the current weird.

"What's the feature? Eating only human skin? Gu Yu pulled me and walked two steps towards the stone platform, there were a few red things spread out on the side of the stone platform, because they were the same color as the stone platform, so I didn't pay attention to it just now.

When I got closer, I saw that it was a few human skins facing out, and although the blood on them was cold, it did not change color, and still maintained its red color.

This is clearly the skin that has just been peeled off for a short time, and combined with the skinless people outside, I feel more and more that the zombies in front of me are elusive.

It eats people and only eats skin, and those skinless people are still alive after being skinned, and the skinless people are made to do the repetitive climbing action, all of which is incomprehensibly weird.

"I have a question right now." I tugged at Gu Yu's hand, and he stopped and didn't continue to approach the stone platform.

"What?"

"If it's dead, won't the people out there survive either?"

"Death is not necessarily pain."

"Yes, it could be a relief, or it could be another kind of beginning." I let go of the knots in my heart and whispered, "Do it." ”

Since this zombie's brainwave is invulnerable, then we have to attack her body, Gu Yu in order not to destroy this thousand-year-old building, adopted a relatively 'gentle' attack method, trying to extract the air in its body and suffocate its body.

Ordinary zombies don't have a heartbeat and breathing, or they have, but it's extremely weak, I haven't studied it, but high-level zombies have body temperature, breathing, and a heartbeat.

Gu Yu's method should have been effective, but the brain waves of the multi-armed zombie sitting on the red platform did not disappear after he stopped breathing.

Seeing this, Gu Yu covered it with an air hood equal to the area of the stone platform, and erected an air blade that could rotate inside the cover, and when the air blade rotated quickly, the principle was similar to that of a juicer.

The multi-armed zombie was cut into a puddle of flesh by the air blade, and the bones were also chopped, but the multi-armed zombie kept its eyes closed, as if unconscious.

"The brainwaves are still there, they haven't changed." I've been paying close attention to the changes in the ringed brain waves, and it hasn't changed at all when the body is fatally attacked.

We waited for a while, and there was no movement on the stone platform, and it looked like it was really dead, but it was only physical death, and the brainwaves that controlled the skinless man were still there.

"Can't you pull it out?" Gu Yu asked.

"Brain waves are very similar to electrocardiograms, or audio maps, I can separate, intercept, elongate, etc., but this ring-shaped brain waves, there is no way to start, not to mention, if you destroy them with brute force, it can be restored immediately."

"Let's go in a different direction and start with the people outside."

"Eliminate everyone's brainwaves?" I asked not quite sure.

"Yes."

After hesitating for a second, I nodded heavily, the skinned people would not survive at all, and even if they came to their senses, they would only suffer double the pain, and they would still die in the end.

Let them fall asleep in their fantasies......

I released a spiritual cloud large enough to cover the entire palace, and this sacred and magnificent building was immediately overwhelmed by the black cloud, and in a few breaths it was completely enveloped in the cloud.

The skinless man crawling on the outer wall of the palace instantly lost its strength and fell from the wall like withered petals.

I didn't count how many people there were, and I couldn't count them, but at the moment when the skinless man's brainwaves stopped, a silent scream came straight at me.

The ringed brainwave broke off its head and tail, turned into the shape of a snake, opened its mouth, bared its fangs, and lunged at me.

The image of the Ouroboros has appeared in the mythology of many countries around the world, such as Greek mythology, Norse mythology, Hindu mythology, and so on.

Probably represents immortality, or reincarnation, and now this spirit snake that attacked me has let go of its tail, does this mean that its qi is exhausted?

I may be the only chance I can kill it, and I must seize it, because people say that whoever catches snakes must use a stick.

I condensed the spirit cloud into a long black stick, one end split into a scissor-shaped shape, so that I could pinch its head and pinch its mouth tightly, so that it would not bite its tail again and turn back into a ring state.
