Chapter 108: The human head waiting to be released
Ebetsu had already tried to "prune" the ghosts, but the trimmed parts would grow immediately, and there was no way to hinder them from moving by cutting off the ghosts' limbs.
"I saw that there was some rope or something in the clutter on the second floor of the small building, otherwise we should tie it up while the ghost is not yet well, and it may not be able to move after it is tied up like this and matures?" Zhao Ziyang proposed, but he himself felt that this method was unreliable, and if the ghost could be trapped by the rope, it would not be called a ghost.
If there is a big iron cage here, maybe it can delay the ghost for a few minutes.
Yu Jue also felt that this method was not very good, but he still nodded: "Since there is a rope, let's try it, maybe it will be successful by mistake."
As he spoke, he raised his feet and walked in the direction of the curtain of the greenhouse, wanting to go to the small building to get the rope.
Jiang Bei walked quickly to Yu Jue's side: "I'll go with you."
It's night, and it's dark outside.
Although they didn't find any danger outside the greenhouse, they had to be vigilant at all times, and they could take care of them in case of any accidents.
Fortunately, nothing went wrong halfway, and Jiang Bei and Yu Jue quickly came back with a few pieces of rope, and by the way, they also brought some to the greenhouse next door.
"The rope is not enough to tie up all the ghosts in the shed, so it can only be used on the ghosts that are rising faster. Yu Jue and I divided the rope with the next door and asked them to try to tie up the ghost as well." As he spoke, Ebetsu took the rope and walked towards a ghost with two heads.
Yesterday he watered and fertilized the two heads.
One of them had grown into a ghost with arms on its body, which had been dug up and weathered because it had grown too quickly.
And the other one is the ghost in front of him, it grows another head under the original head, and this ghost does not continue to grow taller after growing a second head, but the brain melon seed seems to be about to crack.
I saw that there were watermelon-like cracks on the top of these two heads, as if they would crack at any time.
"These two heads look like flower bones, as if they want to bloom." Zhao Ziyang, who was tying a long-necked ghost next to him, glanced at Jiang Bei's side.
The ghost on Zhao Ziyang's side only grew a long neck, and it was not easy to tie the rope, so he had to take the rope and strangle it around the long neck, and finally tied it tightly, like he wanted to strangle others.
"Speaking of which, these ghosts in the greenhouse are not really ghosts yet, I think there must still be some unfamiliar ghosts in them when the dungeon is cleared, and these things won't follow back to the base, right?"
It's hard to say.
After the dungeon is cleared, the landforms will follow to reality, and the objects in the dungeon will also come, but the ghosts and the original inhabitants inside will disappear together.
Jiang Bei couldn't say what these human heads planted in the ground were before they were mature.
"Even if these things really follow back to the base, the base will definitely dispose of them all, if you don't deal with these things and become ghosts in the base, you can't control it at all, and we don't have to clean up any sudden copies, just stand and wait for death." Yu Jue, who was not far away, spoke.
He was going with Ah Dog to tie up a very large ghost, the ghost did not grow a body, only a head, and the head exposed outside the dirt was already forty or fifty centimeters wide.
The ghost only had one head exposed, and it was round and difficult to tie, and the two of them were consulting on where to start.
"Did you notice that these ghosts really resemble plants? The one you dug up was covered in hands, like a plant with many leaves, and now the one you tied up has two more heads and looks like it's about to bloom." Zhao Ziyang opened his mouth while tying the ghost in his hand, "This one in my hand is a bit like a vine plant, and it grows with vines."
"Then the one I tied to Ah Dog should be like a big pumpkin, only growing its head and not anywhere else." Yu Jue also spoke.
After all, it's called a ghost greenhouse.
It's also understandable to look like a plant.
"Since these demons have the characteristics of plants, do you think they are afraid of fire?" Jiang Bei patted the head of the budding person in front of him.
Hearing this, Zhao Ziyang stopped what he was doing: "There is also such a possibility."
As he spoke, he took out a lighter from his left pocket, the one he used to light cigarettes, "Why don't we try a ghost first?"
Jiang Bei nodded: "Try it."
He found a human head that was a little wilted, and put together a lighter to burn someone's hair.
Everyone else stopped what they were doing and stared at it, but after trying the lighter several times, it couldn't light the ghost at all, and Zhao Ziyang also came over and tried to make sure that the ignition was useless.
Zhao Ziyang silently stuffed the lighter back into his pocket: "Ignition doesn't work, and I don't know if these ropes tied up can come in handy."
At this time, they had already tied up a few ghosts that grew faster with ropes, and Jiang Bei looked at the crooked ropes on those ghosts: "I think it's enough, let's not have too much hope for these ropes."
"Let's think about any other way to stall tonight." Zhao Ziyang felt the lighter in his pocket.
The four of them talked about it for hours.
Yu Jue proposed that these ghosts were planted in the greenhouse, and their properties were somewhat the same as those of crops, so they might be eaten.
I just burned the ghost, but I didn't expect that someone would want to eat the ghost now.
After Yu Jue put forward this idea, he even tried to bite the head of the person next to him, and almost jumped his teeth.
The proposal to eat ghosts failed.
Zhao Ziyang thinks that he still has to use the time before the ghost is mature to do more, and it is best to limit the ghost's actions, but as for how to restrict the action, he can't think of it for the time being.
Ebetsu planned several escape routes according to the map drawn in the notebook, and planned to make some "traps" everywhere tomorrow
"Take off your coat and give it to me tomorrow," Ebetsu whispered to the three people around him, "I'll tear them apart and arrange them in some places to disturb the ghosts, and try to delay as long as possible."
The four of them deliberated on countermeasures until late, and then began to take turns keeping vigils.
Like yesterday, Jiang Bei and Ah Gou slept first, and Zhao Ziyang Yujue came to guard the first round.
Before Jiang Bei went to bed, Zhao Ziyang and Yu Jue also carried buckets to patrol the greenhouse, watering people's heads at any time to prevent them from dying.
The growth rate of ghosts is really irregular, and when Jiang Bei was woken up in the second half of the night, the first thing he did was to look at the heads not far away.
I saw that half of the previous ghosts that had risen well didn't grow much, and the other half didn't grow much, although they had grown, they didn't grow much.
However, there were three ghosts that had not paid much attention to it before, and they suddenly jumped higher, and they were higher than the others.
Jiang Bei looked at the three ghosts on the form of the record he had just made last night: "They didn't grow much before I went to bed last night, but I didn't expect them to suddenly grow so big in just a few hours."
"Pay attention." Zhao Ziyang looked a little worried, "These three ghosts are growing too fast, they can grow like this in a few hours, I'm afraid that these ghosts will have to mature before dawn."
Yu Jue opened his mouth and said, "Actually, when we found that these three ghosts were growing rapidly, Captain Zhao and I both beat drums in our hearts, for fear that they would suddenly mature as they grew;
"We thought about it for a while and decided to call you up first, and the four of us discussed whether we should get rid of them if they were any longer."
The other ghosts haven't grown much now.
If only one of these three ghosts matured now, it would be too fast, and the rest of the ghosts didn't know when they would mature.
