Chapter 162: Corpse
"You're here. ”
A sentence without any emotional ups and downs, as if a machine-synthesized voice suddenly sounded in his ears, Fan Wu couldn't hear where the sentence came from, as if someone whispered it in his ear, and it seemed to suddenly appear in his mind.
And this voice didn't sound again after it appeared once, Fan Wu felt very strange, it was obviously similar to a machine-synthesized sound, how could he feel familiar?
It was a neutral voice, without any emotional fluctuations in it, just three words like that, but Fan Wu felt extremely moved, as if he had been waiting to hear it and finally heard it.
He stopped and stood between the two small buildings for a long time, but the voice that moved him did not sound again, and Fan Wu had to continue with a look of disappointment.
Not only are the buildings in the Black Prison different in style, but even the locations are chaotic, with all kinds of bungalows and small buildings of different styles mixed together, and there is no clear street or pathway.
Fan Wu walked down the path between the houses and walked towards the center of the black prison, and the more he walked, the more he wondered if it was the same black prison he had been to before.
Even if the building is different, it is very abnormal to walk for so long and not see the houses of the prisoners.
I remember that in the past, the black prison not only had a uniform architecture, but also except for the outermost house, some creatures of different races could be seen in the buildings inside.
Although Fan Wu hadn't entered those houses to see them with his own eyes, he could feel that there were creatures inside, but here he didn't feel anything.
With Fan Wu's current sensory sensitivity, if there is a creature in the house along the road, even if the breath is suppressed, it can still be sensed, and there is no feeling that there is really no creature here.
Since there were no living beings, Fan Wu's speed increased, and he recognized the direction of the central position, and hurried forward through the periphery of the houses.
It wasn't until I entered the inner circle of the Black Prison that I saw the first creature, but it was a corpse, a creature like a cow and an elephant, dead between two bungalows not far in front of Fan Wu.
Fan Wu approached and took a closer look, the creature was huge, several times the size of an ordinary elephant, and had the trunk and body of an elephant, but it also had the horns and limbs of a cow.
The distance between the two houses was not large, the body was stuck in the middle, and the giant elephant's trunk was still smashed on the tile of the house on the left, but neither house was damaged in any way, the bull elephant was just stuck there, and it didn't seem to have died here.
Fan Wu could tell that it had been killed in battle, because there was a huge wound on its back that stretched across its entire waist, and it was almost cut off, and the wound looked like it had been cut with a knife.
If this is really the case, it must be a machete that is even bigger than Fan Wu's body, otherwise it will be difficult to give this bull elephant, which seems to be very strong in defense, almost two pieces with one sword.
Although it was in the open air, the carcass of the cow elephant was well preserved, except that there was no blood coming out, and even the muscles on the wound turned out as if they had just been hacked to death.
But this bull elephant definitely didn't just die, Fan Wu couldn't feel any breath of life from his corpse, with Fan Wu's current sensitivity, even if the corpse had been dead for a month, he could still feel a slight breath of life.
Because no living creature is an independent individual, especially a flesh-and-blood creature, there will definitely be a soul and countless channels connecting with heaven and earth, even if it is killed, it will not immediately sever its connection with heaven and earth in the short term.
This is the theory that Fan Wu heard from Zhong Kui back then, these passages connecting heaven and earth will slowly dissipate after the death of the main body for a period of time, so there are legends that those great gods can help people resurrect soon after death.
They use these channels to reverse the soul that has gone away or is dissipating, in order to achieve the feat of going against the sky, but only the god-level master with mana to the sky has such ability, let alone helping people to resurrect, even those channels can't be sensed anywhere.
Fan Wu couldn't do it before, but since he was resurrected by Cheng Xi again, the sensitivity of his senses has increased again, so he can vaguely feel these connection channels that ordinary people can't perceive.
After seeing the corpse of the bull elephant, he began to carefully feel and look for the passage on its body, no, there was no one, which proved that the cow elephant had been dead for a long time.
As for the corpse being able to keep it so well, it should be related to the rules of heaven and earth that fit the place of Black Prison, and any independent space similar to the Cave Heaven and Blessed Land will have its own unique rules of heaven and earth.
Some of them can speed up the speed of cultivation, most of the Taoist caves and blessed lands are like this, some things can purify the mind and bless themselves, the small world of Buddhism basically has this characteristic, and there are all kinds of strange characteristics according to the preferences of the person who established the independent space, maybe the characteristics here are long-term preservation or constant or something like that.
Although it is not as universal as the real rules of heaven and earth, it can still be maintained for a long time in his own small world, whether it is like this or not, anyway, the corpse of the cow elephant that Fan Wu saw is very well preserved.
But the strange thing is that all the blood on its body has disappeared, and it stands to reason that even if it is drained, there should be corresponding traces on the ground, is it really that it is really bled dry in the place where it really died, and then it was put here?
Because there was no damage to the surrounding buildings, and there were no signs of a fight on the ground, Fan Wu judged that the bull elephant did not die here, but was just thrown here.
Here, like outside the gate, he couldn't fly, so Fan Wu had to climb onto the cow elephant to observe, and after going up, he found that there was only this wound on the entire cow elephant's body, and there was no injury in other parts.
Not only was it not injured, but it didn't seem to react at all, because it still had a normal expression on its face, as if it didn't know that it was going to die.
How could such a powerful creature be hacked to death without warning? And the bull elephant had its eyes open, not by the way of being fascinated and dying in its sleep.
A creature that is not weak was hacked to death by someone when he was sober, and he didn't know it at all, no matter how he looked at it, it was impossible to happen, but it was really in front of Fan Wu.
This situation reminded Fan Wu of an ability that he had also touched, that is, the ability to control space that he had mastered when he was a squire, but he had only learned it at that time, which should be the most basic level of spatial ability.
At that time, Fan Wu had the ability to draw and take away the things he saw in the form of soul paintings, but only for almost stationary objects, although he also successfully took away creatures, but that could only be achieved if the other party did not resist.
To be like the ghost king with an umbrella I saw at the auction when I first became a ghost, it is the real spatial ability, and it is estimated that only that kind of space is static can hack him to death without the Niu Elephant knowing.
But if you already have that kind of anti-heaven spatial control ability, why do you need to hack it to death with a knife, it doesn't make sense.
Fan Wu carefully explored the bull elephant for a long time, and found no other anomalies, but when he took the time to look ahead, he saw that there seemed to be a corpse of a creature not far ahead.
Fan Wu immediately got down and walked around the two houses to another five-story Western-style building not far away, and came to the alley behind the small building he had just seen.
Sure enough, there was a corpse lying here, this time it was a humanoid creature, with all the characteristics of a human, but with two more arms and two heads than a human.
This is a bald monk with a height of more than two meters, three heads and six arms, but only two heads and four arms remain on the corpse, and the other pair of arms and a head have been cut off with sharp weapons like a bull elephant, and they are missing.
The severed arms were the arms in the normal shoulder position and the skull in the middle, leaving only the two heads on either side of the shoulders and the four arms under the armpits.
This image of three heads and six arms is not far from the image of the Bodhisattva in Fan Wu's mind, and he is still a monk, which can't help but make Fan Wu think of a Buddhist monk or a master such as an Arhat.
Although the image resembles the impression of the Bodhisattva, Fan Wu did not go in this direction, because he did not want or dare to believe that the real Bodhisattva would die in this place.
And it's the same as the cow elephant, the kind that died completely unknowingly, looking at the expressions on the faces of the remaining two heads on his shoulders, the expressions on his faces were peaceful, and there was no trace of the hideous appearance of struggling before death.
Fan Wu found that the difference between this monk and the bull elephant was that the bull elephant was fatal with a knife, but it did not suffer other injuries, and the body remained intact.
And the fatal part of the monk must be that the head was cut off, but the other party actually cut off his arms after cutting off his head, and in addition to that, a big opening was made in his heart.
Fan Wu looked through the opening and found that the monk's heart had been taken away, that is to say, this three-headed and six-armed monk was not only killed unprepared, but also had his head, arms, and heart taken away, and he was simply dead!
Starting with the bull elephant and the three-headed and six-armed monk, Fan Wu saw many corpses of creatures on the way to the center of the black prison, and they all died in similar ways.
Almost all of them died by slashing, but the fatal part was different, but there was one thing that particularly caught Fan Wu's attention, although there were corpses of all races along the way, all the other races were able to keep their whole corpses, as long as it was a humanoid race, all of them were cut off their heads and arms, and their hearts were taken.
Who did it and have a deep enmity with the Terrans?
