Chapter 6: Leading the team out for the first time Demon House: Soul Fragments
When he woke up, the thin man in black was standing beside him, blocking the small and dense attacks that were coming at him without missing a beat. The occasional omission was also directly hit on the thin figure, making a muffled sound of whipping. But the man seemed to turn a blind eye, did not frown, and accepted it silently. A drop of blood slipped from the man's wound onto his hand. Warm and hot.
It's Brother Shadow.
Robert felt relieved for no reason, and then felt his eyes heat again. This man is usually indifferent and not human. But in fact, this is the kind of person who has always been.
The current situation did not give him much time to think, and the attack continued. Sunshadow looked down to block the attack and found Robert awake and prepared to walk away.
"Find someone else. Sunshadow asked as she moved, frowning slightly. "Are you going to assassinate yourself and come to your senses?"
"Hmm. In the illusion, your corpse is gone. So I tried it too, but I don't remember that I got hit by the black arrow. But I'm a success, haven't I?" said Robert.
"Nope. Sunshadow shook her head. "I stopped you. You didn't get a stab. But maybe if you are stabbed, you will not wake up, but you will be injured and die. I didn't wake up because I stabbed myself. ”
Under Robert's puzzled gaze, Sunshadow cautiously handed out the silver dagger in his hand.
"It's something very important to me. A small fragment of the soul was attached to it. This pure soul can break through the magic barrier. ”
Robert took his hand and took a closer look. This is a very delicate silver dagger, with a shallow soft halo, and the center of the narrow dagger is embossed with fine lines, which seems to be a language, but it is too complicated to be known, ancient and mysterious.
"Whose soul is it?"
"The soul of a person who is more precious to me than life. ”
Robert saw the desperate sadness in Sunshadow's eyes, and he couldn't ask any more, but carefully handed the dagger back. Even though this dagger was so precious to Hikage, he didn't have any stinginess with them, did he?
"If I'm in a hallucination, I think it should be able to bring me out. Sunshadow said, putting away the dagger. "But your weapons may hurt you, and they will be counterproductive. This monster has aimed your black arrow at your heart. ”
"Before I stabbed it, the ghost said, or let them wait, one by one, depending on the situation. But I think if I disappear, they'll definitely give it a try. Robert paused. "And Brother Shadow, your actions just now are too shocking. It was bloodied at first. I went to check and found that you didn't have a pulse, and your body was gradually getting better, so we were relieved. I see you piercing your heart, too. ”
"I stabbed above my left arm. Sunshadow turned to the side and pointed to the wound where blood was still oozing.
"Brother Shadow, don't take such a risk next time. Robert looked at the tiny wounds on Sunshadow's body, and the clothes on his body were not at all as intact as when he first entered the place, and he sighed as he knew how he had been in this battle. "This is terrifying. It's time to go back and talk about us. ”
Thinking of Boss Peng's serious face, he was really a little worried. But at least the ghost is right, Boss Peng never looks at the wrong person. Looking at the figure of Sun Shadow still struggling, Robert sighed a little.
The sun shadow heard in front of him appeared in front of Peng Xiu's angular face, and his back was slightly stiff. The tone was slightly unnatural, but he still said coldly. "It's okay, don't tell him. ”
"Brother Ying, can I understand that you are a little shy? and it turns out that you are also afraid of Boss Peng?" Robert couldn't help but laugh.
"He's very wordy. ”
That's just for you, not so kind to them, just teach them by word and deed, okay? Robert thought to himself, and before he could speak, a black cloud hit his face, unprepared.
"Little Shadow...... It's great that you're not dead!"
At this time, Robert had already snapped and fell to the ground, and a black object was pressing on his face, as if he was having some difficulty breathing.
"Ghost! I'm here. Sunshadow said back.
"Huh?" the ghost quickly floated to Sunshadow's side, up and down, suspiciously looking.
"Are you seriously injured? Xiaoying?"
"I'm badly wounded!" Robert shook his head and got up. "Don't you care about me?"
"Don't care. Can't be stupid. ”
"Ghost, how did you get out? What about them?" asked Sunshadow, interrupting the unnourishing conversation.
"Knowing it's an illusion, it doesn't make sense to me anymore. As for them...... Still waiting to cut it off on its own...... Hehe......" the ghost smiled grimly.
"Go and stop them. Just ask them to wait. ”
"It's okay, those idiots can't die. ”
"Go. Sunshadow said a cold word, turned around and walked forward again.
"Oh. The ghost reluctantly responded. The black mass slowly became lighter, the entity faded and faded, and finally disappeared into smoke and dust.
After a while, the group of men in the dream were finally found, lined up in a row, and woke up one by one as if they had transformed into sleeping beauties and were kicked by Robert one by one.
"Oh, I almost thought you were all dead. I'm scared to death!" Miga said, touching his big head. "Especially Brother Ying, a lot of blood. I thought you must have hung up. ”
"You're just hanging! Can you speak! Brother Ying isn't alive and well...... Didn't Robert disappear without being hit by an arrow...... Dead fart. Mi Jian patted Miga's head, who was exactly the same as him, and said. "But it's a bit of a suspense. I only saw Brother Ying, and suddenly stabbed myself, bleeding all over the ground, and suddenly disappeared. Before Robert could explain clearly, he was about to stab himself, only to disappear again. What the hell is going on? Where is this?"
Everyone looked at the shadow of the sun.
"Still in that house. Let's go out first, and Robert will explain it to you. ”
There were disgusting brown branches rushing around, and it was hard to discern the direction. Sunshadow continued.
"Disperse in pairs to see if there are any people alive and exits. With the whistle as the command, the gathering is called. ”
A group of people tacitly formed a team on their own, turned around and dispersed. The Ghost and Robert follow Sunshadow.
"Brother Ying, Boss Peng is not here, so he will be wronged and settle it with us. ”
When you are too focused, you tend to overlook certain details.
In the process of searching for people, Sun Shadow was just constantly searching for familiar clothes, armor or objects, not caring about his feet, and now that he had enough time, he found fine grains of sand and bones on the ground, as well as some messy living debris, as if he could see traces of his life. But the white bones of Sensen are such a discordant existence.
"How many people have died here, and is that Lout lady alive?" Robert kicked away a puppet-like object.
"I don't know. Sunshadow shook his head, and his cold voice continued, "But it can be assumed that at least it is real, it should not be ossified, perhaps in line with what we saw of her, not dead but not close to running out of life to feed this monster." This monster has a deep obsession with the real things that exist in this room, more precisely with the people who have lived in it, and even falling into his illusion is based on the fact that the characters are based, and there is a very strong sense of reality when a group of people are chained into a semi-real environment. ”
"It's not that you said, I didn't judge that it was in the illusion at all, and even the ghost was trapped in the illusion, and it was no longer a sentence of reality that could be summed up, and I didn't know when I was tricked. Robert said with a little annoyance.
"It's really strange that I've been tricked too. Jie Ji ...... Stain, stain......" the ghost said grimly.
"Maybe it had something to do with the time we walked in. Nikkage thought for a moment and said. "It's too much of a rumor, but I stepped in at the height of my power. The moment you step in, you've already been hit. ”
"Legend has it that in the evening of the afternoon, the moment the sun sets, the devouring houses are waiting to open the black gates, open the space through the different dimensions, and beautiful women are calling your name, gentle and sweet, like the murmur of a lover, come, sink into death, you will never return to this world. Robert's distinctive voice said like reading poetry.
"It's apt. But we didn't listen. ”
Sunkage recalls that before leaving, Robert stood in the middle of the hall where the crowd had gathered, loudly introducing the information he had found at hand, but the group of people chatting and wiping weapons.
"Brother Shadow, didn't you listen carefully, didn't you do nothing?" Robert remembered that Sunkage was looking at him with a serious expression. He asked, confused.
Sunshadow tilted her head a little unnaturally, and did not answer.
"Xiaoying is actually in a daze...... Jie Ji ...... He was embarrassed again. The ghostly eerie uttered teasing things that had nothing to do with the tone.
While the people were talking, a loud whistle suddenly sounded not far from the left. Disgusting brown branches obscured the surrounding view, and the road was basically just a small section of the body in front of him, and the direction of the whistle could only be judged basically.
Sunkage and the others immediately abandoned the front, and then marched to the left. The few people didn't take it too seriously before, but just walked and stopped at random, observing the occasional objects on the ground to judge the situation. After the whistle sounded, he became serious, and Sun Ying threw out a knife violently, containing a bit of killing intent, and the branch instantly shattered a few meters in front of him.
"Brother Shadow, Brother Shadow, you slow down, don't worry about those rabbit cubs, you worry about the wounds. I'll come with the ghosts. With that, Robert walked with the ghost to the front of the Sunshadow.
A distinctive white arrow shook in the ghost's black mist, entangled with a bit of looming black mist, and was shot out by the two of them with a tacit understanding, and the explosion sounded instantly, and a circular passage almost appeared as if it were piercing.
"Hey, hey, say before you shoot! Don't shoot again! Melson's voice, he was already on the other side of the passage, and he jumped out nimbly. "It's good that I hid quickly!Otherwise, I'll be the one who dies first!!"
"Don't worry! Even if they want to come with a second arrow, there will be no more! This arrow is very precious, not to mention the effort to build, and it has to be triggered by magic power, it is a life-saving thing, are you willing to use it?" Mott asked suspiciously.
"once in a while, and besides, the ghost isn't there, and I don't have to trigger it myself. ”
", you haven't used this arrow for years, you said it last time......" Mott was about to say something, when he saw the shadow of the sun that seemed to have undried blood stains on Robert and the ghost walking slowly behind him, and tacitly immediately stopped talking.
"What's going on? needs to be summoned?" Robert asked.
"Oh, see for yourself!"
The brown branches in front of them no longer wriggled, and stretched upwards as if reverently, and it looked a little solemn. Stretched into the air, cut a circular hollow, a thick branch in the center of the bloom to form a huge rectangular box, like a wooden coffin, carefully distinguish the delicate patterns attached to it, delicately emerge a variety of birds, flowers, thorns and vines, the middle of the iris coat of arms delicate and complex, as if the three-dimensional can be blown out by the wind swaying.
"It's Victoria's coffin. "Sunshadow has a gut feeling, almost very certainly.
"Would you like to go up and have a look?" asked Mott.
Just as Mott was still asking, a figure on the right had already rushed up, it was the impulsive Mega of the two Miga Mijian brothers, who was a little late.
"Good girl! this woman looks like she is alive!" cried Miga.
"Bastard, can you listen to the command, don't you know how easy it is to get caught in this place?" Melson scolded.
"Come down first, and take a look at the people below. Sunshadow said coldly, beyond doubt.
It turned out that the dense brown branches directly below the coffin were wrapped in countless people who did not know life and death, and the layers and branches were stacked like mountains, and the tiny disgusting brown branches extended from their skin, linking to the wooden coffin at the top, and were frantically absorbing their life force.
"Brother Shadow, you're right, there's really a prototype for everything. There was really Victoria. These are the people who still appear in the dream, right?" exclaimed Robert.
"Get them out first, and then see if they can be saved. Sunshadow said again, dragging a man out of his hand, and threw it in Robert's direction, slashing off the branches of the body that was still chasing.
Several other people also began to dig deeper, and new bodies were constantly being dug out, not knowing whether they were alive or dead. In a short time, there were seven or eight people in succession.
"Brother Ying, I don't think there's any need to dig it, among these 7, only 1 is still angry, and the others have already lost their breath. Even if these 1 or 2 are rescued, they may not be able to survive. Robert said as he probed one by one.
Looking at the dense forest of branches with no end in sight, Sunshadow stopped what he was doing. Seeing this, the others also stopped.
"Is there Miss Lout in there?" asked Sunshadow.
Robert flipped through the faces of several people. "No, I guess it's possible that it won't be here anymore. ”
"Ghost, go find Miss Lout. If you die, try to bring it with you. Sunshadow said to the ghost, pausing, then turning to look at Robert again.
"Boom ......" the ghost laughed and disappeared abruptly.
Standing among the corpses, Sunshadow crouched down to soothe a young girl's anguished brow. The girl's pale and shriveled face was no longer as beautiful and vivid as when she first saw it, so lovely and beautiful, and in that dream, she sat elegantly in the gorgeous garden, at the white dining table, holding an enamel teacup in her slender white hand, smiling and drinking sweet afternoon tea.
Suddenly, the plump body has dried up, the skin has lost its luster and delicacy, and the face is hateful.
"Is this the girl we just killed?" Mi Jian asked, frowning.
Once there is no need to defend such a helpless reason, they will not be able to poison the beautiful and innocent lives of their righteous masters.
"She's dead. Before being killed in a dream. Sunshadow said. "It doesn't matter to her what kind of death she has. ”
"Brother Ying, in addition to the entrusted Miss Loute of the Earl's family, Boss Peng also asked us to find the missing Lion Legion by the way. Robert said.
"The Lion Corps is missing here, too?" Mott asked.
"You don't have anyone who listens carefully. Robert shook his head and sighed helplessly. "Missing a small third-line opposition, 12 people. ”
"The third line also wants us to find it? Boss Peng loves to take on this kind of work, and it is thankless. Where will those puppies care about our good, and they are not mongrels who only recognize money. Melson said dismissively. "Don't Boss Peng know what they are doing on the front line?"
"The first-line and second-line teams all followed the eldest prince to the eastern battlefield this time, and we happened to take over Miss Loute's situation, so the boss let us see it by the way, which can be regarded as a response to their going to the battlefield. Robert said.
"Come on. Even if they don't go to the battlefield, they won't come here to look for it. Besides, they didn't go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, and it wasn't that the eldest prince was afraid of death, so they let them escort them. The eldest prince's wreck. Melson said.
"Alright. Sunshadow spoke faintly, looking up with a grim look in his eyes. Everyone followed his gaze, only to find that in the middle of the air, a few catties of silent slow changes, those brown branches were slowly, as if caressing, quietly rolling towards the coffin, the edges and corners of the four sides and the lines of the delicate iris were slowly disappearing, the arc appeared, the two ends of the oval were taking shape, and the chrysalis of a human shape was being formed.
"Brother Shadow, what should I do. Mott asked calmly. \t
At the time of Mott's inquiry, everyone had already gathered tacitly and besieged the city in a semicircle.
"Wait. Sunshadow said calmly. "There's no hurry. ”
