Chapter 135: A knock on the door outside the coffin
Something is always in my ears.
I couldn't hear it clearly, and I couldn't even tell if it was a whisper or a roar.
Tang Sen tried hard to open his eyes, but the body that was obviously controlled by the immortal curse seemed to be separated from the soul, and there were countless hands, which grabbed him densely, he felt that he was drowning, he struggled frantically, but it was as if he was not moving at all.
He didn't know how long it lasted, but he felt the voices become clearer and clearer.
Something is about to be lost.
However, at this time, suddenly there is a text appearing.
[Product 1: Extraordinary characteristics of shepherds.] 】
[Procurement time: 6 months.] 】
The words made Townsend open his eyes at once, but it was still pitch black in front of him.
The soul successfully merges with the body.
"Just now. What's going on? ”
Townsend tried to remember it fearfully, but he couldn't remember the slightest thing, as if he had had an incomparably terrible nightmare, and woke up only with the joy of the rest of his life, and a little remnant of that incomparably terrible fear after it had faded.
"This has never been the case with previous crossings."
"This world. Something is wrong. ”
Tang Sen moved his hands and feet, feeling that he was in an extremely cramped place, the space could not allow him to sit up, and the whole person could not relax.
He reached up and felt the cold wood, as did the space to the left and right.
"I have an ominous premonition."
Townsend pushed it up hard, but the plank was so tight that it didn't move for half a minute.
He continued to carefully grind around, making sure that the entire space was completely wooden, without any gaps.
"Am I in a coffin?"
This is just enough space for him to lie down, but there is no way to relax and move, and Tang Sen has to doubt this.
He tapped the plank above with his knuckles, and the sound was dull.
"The outside is not empty, that is, I am not only inside the coffin, but probably buried in the ground."
What's the start?
There seemed to be no way to break the coffin on his own, and Tang Sen's mind sank into the sea of consciousness, seeing that the dragon Smaug was still frozen.
Fortunately, he still has external forces, so he really can't summon Smaug, just summoning the other party in such a narrow place, although he will definitely be able to swell the coffin and break out of the ground, but he is afraid that he will also be squashed.
The immortal curse is still in effect, and Tang Sen doesn't have to worry about running out of air in the coffin, well, this curse is a perfect match for the coffin, even if he is buried for a few years, he is still alive. Hell, now is not the time to think about that!
Whoa—
A small voice from above interrupted Townson's thoughts, and Townsend suddenly stopped moving, quieted down, and tried to listen.
The voice was getting closer, and it was getting louder.
Finally, there was a "thump" sound from the plank above.
It's kind of like a knock on the door.
What should I do if I lie inside a coffin and there is a knock on the door outside?
Townsend chose not to say a word, because he could hear that the irregular sound was caused by accidentally touching the plank while digging, that is, someone was trying to dig himself out.
"That's fine, at least you don't have to think about using Smaug's first summoning in this world for something so nonsensical."
The planks above began to creak, the nails that had been driven into the coffin were being pried open, and Townsend saw a faint light shining through the cracks, staining the entire coffin a faint crimson.
He saw his body turn to bones in crimson.
So he closed his eyes and stopped moving, the bones were a natural disguise, making him look like he should have been lying in a coffin.
Squeak - bang -
The coffin lid was lifted and flipped to the side, and Townsend could feel his gaze fall on him.
"Huh?"
A voice sounded, with surprise: "It's really unlucky, digging the wrong grave?" This coffin looks a little new. ”
It was a completely unfamiliar language, but fortunately, Townsend had a general knowledge of the language and understood the meaning of the other party's expression very smoothly.
"It's already a skeleton, can it still be used?" Something else sounded.
"Maybe. OK? ”
"The corpse is only a medium, and more importantly, it communicates with the world beyond the senses through the spirit dance, and recalls the soul of the corpse."
"But, after all this, there must be no way to resurrect, right?"
"There's not enough time for us to dig another grave, let's give it a try, if not, we'll have to wait until next time."
"That's bad luck."
The jumble of voices continued to reach Town's ears.
"There were six, or seven." Townsend continued to analyze: "Except for one of them, the others all sound younger. ”
"What do they say? Necromancy? Resurrection? ”
The name of the purchased item flashed in Tang Sen's mind, and the crimson moonlight that he had just seen Tang Sen confirmed that the crimson light was moonlight, because only in the moonlight would the immortal curse make himself appear like a skeleton.
"Shepherd, Crimson Moon."
"I have an even more ominous premonition."
Townsend heard the sound of chaotic footsteps around him, and the men seemed to begin dancing around him, and after a few minutes, the more mature voice began to chant:
"Death!"
"Honorable Death!"
"Coming back!"
Townsend obediently opened his eyes, finally seeing what was happening around him.
It was seven people in black robes, forming a circle around the coffin pit where they were, in the crimson light, Tang Sen could barely see their faces clearly, as he had guessed before, most of them were very young, male and female, with deep facial features, typical Western faces.
"It's moving. It's really moving! ”
Townsend heard a frightened and excited voice from one of them.
The others subconsciously took a step back, but couldn't help but look at them curiously.
The man standing directly in front of Townsen's head spread his arms and shouted, "I command you in the name of death!" ”
"Stand up!"
Townsend then stood up from the coffin and turned to face the man.
The man looked to be about thirty years old, with high cheekbones, and his face was full of excitement.
"It worked! It really worked! His lips trembled, and he said quickly, "I knew that death really exists, and death is not the end of everything!" ”
The others were also fanatical, constantly looking at Townsend and even trying to reach out and touch it.
"Be careful!"
The adult man hurriedly shouted: "Don't touch it, he is just a awakened deceased, if it is not for my control, he is very likely to hurt you!" ”
The teenagers quickly retracted their hands, and a timid looking girl whispered, "Teacher Red, what should I do next?" ”
The question stopped the man whose surname was Red, and he froze for a moment, moving his eyebrows a little confused.
To be honest, this was his first success, he just wanted to confirm that the soul really existed, but he never thought about what he would do if he succeeded in awakening the dead.
"According to the story, since Mr. Red can control him, maybe he can help us fight?" A teenager said.
"Of course not, Mr. Comm." The man said solemnly: "We are a pure academic research club, not those chaotic criminals in the East Side, as a student, you shouldn't have such thoughts." ”
"And he doesn't look strong, he's a bunch of bones, and he probably won't be able to beat me." Another teenager interjected, "Maybe we should bury him back and put him back to sleep, and find a new one next time. Fresher. ”
“.” The man was silent.
He didn't want to tell the teenagers, he didn't know how to put them to sleep.
He looked at the skeletal shelf, the other party was wearing a suit that was not too decent, and there was no word on the tombstone, obviously he was not rich in life, and even the burial was just a thin coffin prepared by the welfare agency.
And it has rotted into bones, such a person, no one knows about digging it up, and there is no point in burying it back.
"After all, it was our first successful resuscitation of the dead." The man hesitated and said, "He may still have research value, I think we can bring him back." ”
"I can't live in a skeleton!" The teenagers shook their heads frantically.
"When my family knew that I came out in the middle of the night to dig a grave, they would beat me to death."
"And he only obeys Mr. Red's orders, what if Mr. Red is not there, what if he hurts us?"
The man was a little difficult to ride, and he looked at the motionless skeleton again and gritted his teeth.
"I command you in the name of death!" He shouted, "Follow my steps." ”
Townsend silently crawled out of the coffin, following the man's steps step by step.
"Today's club activities are over." As the man walked towards the outside of the cemetery with Town, he said to the boys, "Re-cover the coffin, fill it back with earth, and be careful not to let others find the traces." ”
"While it's still late at night, there's no one on the street, so I'm going to go and hide him."
"Okay, Mr. Red." The excitement of the teenagers has not subsided, but they also know that digging up graves and robbing corpses is a felony, and they hurriedly start to deal with the scene.
Townsend followed the man out of the cemetery as quickly as he went, silently observing everything around him.
The moon is crimson, the names engraved on the tombstones in the cemetery are mostly Western surnames, and beyond the cemetery, there are neat streets and rows of houses.
The style of the houses is somewhat similar to that of London in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.
Townsend fumbled around his body without a trace, and finally found a leather wallet in the inner pocket of the suit.
He looked at the man in front of him, and saw that the other party did not look back at him, so he took out his wallet, and by the crimson moonlight, he could see that it was an ordinary, folded black wallet.
Text appears on the top of the wallet.
