Chapter 139: The Origin of Fear (Monthly Pass Plus Update, Ask for a Monthly Pass~)
The cave is very long, and as you explore it, you get farther away from the cave entrance and there is less and less light. If it weren't for the thunder light entangled in Gu You's body, it is estimated that only Tang San's soul guide through the bone nail would be able to open the way.
After walking for nearly ten minutes, Gu You found that there was a bright light in front of him. Glancing at Zhu Zhuqing behind him, Zhu Zhuqing understood and launched the second soul technique "Latent Shadow Attack" hidden in the shadow of Gu You.
Xiao Wu launched the second soul technique, and after a while, he said to everyone with a guarded face: "There is no sign of any life activity in it. ”
Gu You's brows tightened, this is not normal, how could someone who could hide in this place for at least half a year leave suddenly?
Could it be that his purpose has been accomplished?
"Also," Xiao Wu's expression was ugly, "the smell of blood is very strong. ”
Hearing this, Gu You immediately rushed towards the depths. The crowd followed, wondering what was going on inside.
"It's... This is ......" Gu You's pupils shook dramatically, and his voice trembled slightly.
Hell on earth, only Hell on Earth can describe this scene in front of you.
In the deepest open area, the ground was densely packed with people. Fear, despair, madness, these expressions appeared on everyone's face. All over his body were wounded. It's not the result of fighting, it's more like self-harm in madness.
The skin on his face was torn apart, revealing muscles and bones. Only holes remained in the eyes, and there were still a few relatively intact eyeballs left in the scattered flesh.
Meng still stumbled to the ground, feeling that his hand was holding his hand as if he was touching something slimy, and raised his hand to put it in front of him, only to see a dark red palm in his palm.
"Ah!!!h
Meng Yan's screams interrupted the silence in the cave. The trio, who had never seen such a scene, threw up on the rock wall. Xiao Wu went over to comfort them. Gu You immediately rushed in to see if there were any survivors, Tang San called out the Blue Silver Grass, the second soul technique was activated, and the aroma of healing ability filled the cave, suppressing the thick smell of blood slightly.
"Damn bastard!" Unable to find any survivors, Gu You gritted his teeth, and the words squeezed out of his teeth were full of anger. He now wanted to crush the jaw of the person who had done such a thing, and then start with his fingers, and crush the man's bones into powder little by little.
"Brother You, come here, there's someone wrong here!"
Xiao Wu's words made Gu You sober up, and he followed the sound to look for it, only to see everyone surrounding a corpse, and the flesh and blood on his pale feet were blurred.
The three of them were also there, still a little pale, but they also forced themselves to observe the situation.
"What's wrong?" Gu You asked, the ground was full of corpses, and he didn't know what Xiao Wu had found.
Hearing Gu You's voice, everyone dispersed directly to let Gu You in, Xiao Wu pointed and said, "See for yourself." ”
Seeing the people on the ground, Gu You's eyes widened.
I saw that although his face was also blurred with flesh and blood, there were also two holes in his eyes. But unlike everyone else, he didn't have a frightened look on his face, but a closed mouth and a furrowed brow.
Quickly comparing the characteristics of this person, Gu You said in disbelief: "This is ...... Ah Wei?! ”
………
"Kill !!!"
"Idiot, don't rush up, stand back."
Zhao Jie's body was covered with blood, the bristles on his arms were missing in the east and in the west, and the ring finger and little finger of his left hand were missing. There were three scratches on his face, and blood trickled down.
"Brother Jie, save me! I don't want to die! With horror on his face, the words he shouted in his mouth were also frightened, but his movements were strange and rushed towards the group of soul beasts.
His figure was covered by a rush of soul beasts, and disappeared from everyone's field of vision, leaving only blood and flesh splattered from it.
"Damn!" Zhao Jie roared angrily, and used his teeth to pick a few soul beasts around him and rushed over there. Without rushing a few steps, more soul beasts rushed up, and Zhao Jie had no choice but to retreat.
Seeing the members of the group die in front of him, but he couldn't do anything about it, Zhao Jie roared angrily at the soul master of the Wuhun Hall next to him: "Damn, what's going on with you, why did it become like this?!" ”
"We don't know either!" The expression of the soul master of the Martial Spirit Hall next to him seemed to be about to cry, the two soul rings, one white and one yellow, flashed alternately, and the round shield on his arm knocked all the approaching soul beasts out accurately.
"The hall master asked us to organize a team to go in, just leave a minimum of people on the periphery, and everyone else will enter the soul beast forest."
"What about them!!
"We don't know! At first, there were still people who came out to get supplies, but fewer and fewer people came out every day, and no one came out a month and a half ago! ”
"Damn!" Zhao Wei slammed into the soul beast in front of him and flew up, and after the soul beast screamed and landed, several white soul rings appeared. "Didn't you send anyone in to find it?"
"Yes, but they're missing too." The soul master of the Martial Soul Hall shouted, took off the shield on his arm, and threw it at the soul beast behind Zhao Jie who was about to sneak attack. After knocking the soul beast into the air, it bounced back into his hand accurately.
"Well done, Rogers Kid." Zhao Jie didn't reply, and frantically used his teeth to sweep away the soul beast. "Where's the lord of the hall? For such a big thing, why didn't you see him? ”
Rogers used his shield to block the Coyote Dog's attack and threw the Shadow Lizard lying on top of him away. "I sent someone to find him, but he wasn't in the office."
"He's been here for a year, and I haven't seen him." Zhao Jie spat blood foaming at his side, the fangs on both sides were already stained with the blood of soul beasts, "He can't run away." ”
Rogers didn't answer, just concentrated on fighting soul beasts. Zhao Jie didn't expect a younger brother to dare to complain about his own leader to outsiders, and he was ready to continue fighting with a casual mention.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, the soul beasts stopped attacking, and slowly retreated in front of everyone. Leaving corpses all over the ground, both human and soul beasts, and countless soul rings floating in the air.
"We... Is it a win? Zhao Jie stared blankly at the retreating soul beast, his eyes full of disbelief.
The same was true of Rogers, who had no idea that he would survive such a situation. He was about to laugh when suddenly there was applause in his ears.
Smack, smack, smack
"You're very good." A man with a human skin book under his armpit clapped and came out of the shadows, tall and with slender limbs, but it was clear from his bare wrists that he should be thin. A black robe covered his face, and his hands were covered in blood.
"I didn't expect you to happen here, Zhao Jie of the Taixun Regiment." The man lifted his hood, "This is the so-called "misfortune", things never go according to plan, we can only constantly revise and improve it. ”
The man raised his head, his face was covered with hideous scars, as if he had been scalded by boiling water, and his two eye sockets were empty. Just looking at this face, Zhao Jie felt unwell all over his body.
"Temple... The hall master? Rogers' voice was very shaky, and he could hear that the man's voice was exactly the same as that of his own hall master, but it looked completely different.
"Ah, it's Rogers." The man heard the voice and turned the two black holes towards Rogers. "You're still alive, I thought you'd be among the first to die."
"Hall Master?" Zhao Jie couldn't believe it, would the Martial Spirit Hall send this kind of person over to be the hall master.
"Zhao Jie, haven't you always wanted to meet me, I'm the hall master of the Martial Spirit Hall here, Klein." The man wiped his hand on his face, and his face changed to that of a well-mannered man. He wears a pair of black-rimmed glasses and a warm smile on his face.
"What?!" Everyone was stunned, not only Zhao Jie and Rogers, but also the other people nearby didn't expect that just by wiping their hands, their faces completely changed.
"Hahahahaha" Crane covered his face and laughed wildly, and that polite face turned into a mist and dissipated.
"Are you really sure that what you're seeing now is real?"
The man sneered, "Your breathing is very short." ”
………
"I'm Zhao Wei, everyone calls me Ah Wei, and I'm the deputy head of the Taixun Regiment."
"I'm probably going to die."
"It was just an ordinary and ordinary day, and I took my members into the dark place to collect a rare medicinal herb. But unexpectedly, this is the beginning of the nightmare. ”
"Hell, I'm in hell right now."
"I saw people tearing their faces and hitting the rock wall crying and laughing."
"I saw people picking out their eyeballs in the midst of screams and putting them in their mouths to chew."
"I saw someone indiscriminately attacking the people around me amid screams, but was quickly killed by a man in a black robe."
"The book, the blood-red book, the book that printed the face. It's pumping out people's souls and stuffing them into stone. ”
"The village disappeared in the flames, and everyone in the Taixun Regiment was burned to death."
"The soul beast attacked the village, and in order to cover the retreat of the villagers, Brother Jie and Ah Tong were both killed."
"Hallucinations, all hallucinations, I'm still in this cave."
"He couldn't escape, he didn't stop those people from escaping, but they always came back with a mess of attacks, and then their souls were drained."
"I can't see it anymore, and when I wake up, my eyes are pitch black, and my face hurts hotly."
"I must be ugly now, I'm still crying, and I will definitely be laughed at when Brother Jie finds out."
"Although I am far inferior to Brother Jie in combat, according to the new division now, I should belong to the reconnaissance type soul master."
"Unlike the wild boar that Brother Jie used in battle, my martial spirit strengthened my sense of smell. Even if I can't see it now, I can smell the disgusting smell here and the breeze outside. ”
"Also, I haven't been able to detect strange smells in the air in the past."
"The hallucinations are still there, and every time I wake up, my head hurts more and more."
"It's not a hallucination, it's not an eye, it's a nose, it's a nose!"
"I'm going to run away, I'm going to have to run away, I'm going to have to run out."
"The smell of decay in the dark places is the smell of freedom."
"I'm back, the hand on my head is exerting force, and it feels like my soul is being torn apart."
"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts."
"Can't open your mouth, can't open your mouth, hold on, hold on, hold on,
"I'm sorry, Brother Jay. The Taixun Regiment will leave it to you. ”
"Whoever it is, please, understand what I mean, and discover my last gift."
…………………
"He's Ah Wei?"
"That's right." Gu You remembered that Zhao Jie had told him about Zhao Wei's characteristics, although he was unrecognizable, the clothes on his body could clearly see that he was Zhao Wei who Zhao Jie asked them to find clues.
"Why does he have this expression?" Gu You couldn't understand why only Zhao Wei's expression seemed to be enduring the pain, his face was full of horror, pain, and despair.
After a while, Gu You suddenly remembered something and took out the two identical tokens from his arms.
"This token is Zhao Wei's token!" Gu You suddenly realized something, turned over the token violently, looked at the word "mouth" carved in stone behind him, and then saw Zhao Wei's tightly closed mouth.
“… Sorry for the offense. Gu You stretched out his hand and forcefully broke Zhao Wei's mouth.
Before Zhao Wei died, he used all his strength to close his mouth tightly, and the stiff muscles after death made Gu You have no choice but to break his mouth a little bit.
When you open your mouth, you will see cracks caused by excessive force, even some broken teeth, and a cloth with your tongue on the roof of your mouth.
Gu You carefully pulled out the cloth, and there was a piece of paper wrapped in it, on which were written.
"Soul King, Blind, Poison Gas, Fear, Hallucination, Skin Book can extract souls, Flower Rock Monster, almost done, protect the town, protect the town!!"
"This is?!" Tang San saw the words on it, as well as the three huge exclamation marks, he glanced at Zhao Wei with admiration, then took out the herbs from the soul guide and began to configure the antidote according to the clues left by Zhao Wei.
From the behavior of Xiao Wu and the others just now, Tang San judged that it might be related to hallucinations, but because he didn't know the principle of hallucinations, he didn't dare to configure the antidote at will.
Now that he knew that the most important principle was fear, then Tang San knew how to break the influence of this poisonous gas, and he needed to choose a medicine to calm his mind.
"At that time...... Gu You recalled the hallucinations that appeared when the hooked claw cat attacked him.
"I see, at that time, the strong wind brought by the hooked claw cat blew away the aroma of the mistress next to me, so there was a previous hallucination. Being so irritable in a dark place should have something to do with it. ”
Gu You and Tang San had been to the more terrifying Resentful Swamp, which was more uncomfortable than the Gloomy Place, and the two of them who had passed the test of the Resentful Swamp couldn't stand the slightly better environment here because they were affected by the poisonous gas that permeated the forest.
Zhao Wei, who was trying his best to leave information, Gu You stretched out his fingers, gently pressed on his tightly locked brows, and slowly rubbed them.
"Good work, brother. We'll leave it to you next. ”
………
"Heh, Soul King."
Klein looked at the black figure that suddenly appeared in front of him, as well as the five soul rings floating beside him, two yellow, two purple and one black, with a trace of disdain on the corner of his mouth.
"Fallen, your time of death has come."
The person who came was Zhu Zhuqing's guard, and he had been silently watching the soul beast attack. He knew very well that normally, there would be no soul beast riot in this place.
If you want to have a soul beast riot, at least a qualified soul beast must appear as the leader, there are not even thousand-year soul beasts here, so it may be done by the degenerate.
He must be patient, retain his strength, and wait for the mastermind behind the scenes to appear.
"Taste this."
Crane opened the human leather book and took out a stone with blood-red veins from his arms, and the five soul rings of the best configuration appeared behind him, and his eyes radiated a grim light.
————————————————
PS: It seems that no one has discovered the clues I have buried earlier, sad
Two more are sent. I'm personally quite satisfied with this plot.,Although it's not about the protagonist.,But at least I read it myself and think the characters are okay.。 I don't know if you have any friends who have played FGO Chapter 2.6.5, these characters I want to portray as the nameless cavalry, weak, ordinary, but able to give out a little brilliance only once, leaving hope for the future. Because these two chapters are the product of the onset of Wenqing's disease, I decided not to read the comments, and I was a dog after reading it.
