"How do you want to choose?" Ji Heng asked him after making an analogy.
Sur tried to avoid looking at each other: "Look at you."
Wei Jun has recovered from the pain caused by the comparison, and simply spoke on the matter itself: "Death scam, but wealth and wealth are at risk."
In the game, you have to pay, and the things that ghosts give out can often bring huge benefits to players, but they are also fatal.
Sur knew what he wanted to express, so he pursed his lips and said nothing. Because of the friendship of his classmates, he would rather believe that Zhu Yun had something he wanted to give to him, but because of the rules, he could only transform it into a gift on the condition of killing.
This analysis may be stupid, but it can bring a lot of psychological comfort.
Ji Heng saw the yearning in Su Er's eyes, and made a final decision: "Then go and have a look."
When it was just dawn, the three of them set off together.
According to Sur's plan, I tried to catch a game. If I was lucky, I might get the treasure and catch the last train of the god operator.
Wei Jun laughed after hearing this: "Fortunately, it was me and Ji Heng who were with you."
Otherwise, whether this temperament will be killed by ghosts is another matter, and it will definitely be beaten to death by players with a broken mentality.
Su Er smiled and suddenly looked up at the gray sky. At this moment, the moon had not completely disappeared, as if he was struggling for the last time before sunrise. past."
"It's very small." Wei Jun said honestly: "Unless they take the initiative to seek clues, there will be a turning point."
In his opinion, among the remaining players, only Song Jiayue has this kind of aptitude.
Sur didn't say much, he helped when he could in the game, and at other times, his life was earned by himself.
Wei Jun stopped: "I probably understand why Ji Heng chose you to go to the grave."
Sur raised an eyebrow.
Wei Jun pointed to the ghost house that was about to arrive in front of him, and said softly: "Knowing that there are tigers in the mountain, I prefer to go to the tiger mountain."
Ji Heng, who was at the forefront, did not deny it, stepped forward and knocked on the door symbolically and pushed it open.
The house was still deserted and overgrown with weeds.
Sur really hopes to continue to encounter ghosts hitting the wall, so that after finding the well, he can justifiably investigate.
It's a pity that Tianyi Gua didn't give this opportunity. The old man sat on the stone table, cooking the corpse liquid. Seeing that the snake behind them hadn't grown much, he narrowed his eyes unpreparedly. Glancing at Sur, this dissatisfaction almost reached its peak.
"What did you do to this snake?"
It's just that the scales are damaged, and a pair of icy snake eyes are now only dull.
Sur looked back and was also taken aback by this miserable appearance, and he fixed his mind and insisted: "It's a fake, touching porcelain."
Thinking about it, I really didn't deal with the flower snake very much, I just let the child rub it and turn it on again, and basically don't give blood on weekdays. Compared with Hua Snake's repeated attempts to kill people, Sur believes that it can be called retribution with virtue.
Of course, this argument is not approved by Tianyi Gua.
"You don't deserve it."
The old man waved his hand, and the flower snake swam back to him as if relieved.
"Huh." Wei Jun looked at Sur: "There is nothing that can threaten you in the end."
Sur looked up at the sky: "Today is a good day."
It doesn't matter if his life is changed or not. At that time, he chose a flower snake just to dig out potential information and get rid of the copy. Now that they know that snakes are likely to eat people, it is a threat to live in their place and stay by their side.
"… "
The moment the flower snake returned, the old man regained his composure, and after drinking the freshly boiled corpse liquid, he seemed to be in a good mood.
Sur leaned forward dog-legged: "I'll help you fill it up."
The old man gave him a deep look. He had seen shameless people, but he had never seen shameless people who were so familiar.
Sur tentatively reached out to the small teapot. Seeing that the other party didn't stop him, he moved back a little bit. During this period, the old man coughed abruptly, and after a few breaths, Sur retreated to a place several meters away.
Running backwards can still be so stable! So fast!
Wei Jun said with a complicated expression what everyone said: "It really is a talented player."
Pretending to not see other people's eyes, Suer approached the well, stuck out half of his head, and stared at the turbid water for a long time. The dead flower snake corpse that was thrown in that day was still floating on it, and it was amazing that there were no maggots.
It is not accurate to say that it is a well. It does not circulate with groundwater. It is more like a tank. Various corpses are thrown into it, and then it is filled with unknown liquid.
Sur didn't see anything special.
Seeing his timid appearance, the old man smiled condensedly: "Would you like the old man to take you down to have a look?"
Sur declined the offer. '
On the side is a long spoon for scooping things, which is probably used by the elderly to hold corpse liquid.
Sur took it and stirred it for a while. If he didn't find it once, he stirred it a second time.
The old man couldn't stand it any longer, and scolded: "Stop."
Sur looked up and saw the disgust in his eyes, a little puzzled.
"Follow the top scoop." The old man seemed to have some nausea.
Sur was stunned, but the white fox ran over to stop him from continuing to die: "He is half-human and half-ghost, and drinking these is to prolong his life."
The so-called cooking process, taking the tea set carefully, is just a kind of self-deception in the final analysis.
Su Er couldn't understand why he couldn't do it well when he was a ghost. Gou Baopu and the gardener saw that they were making meatballs with monster meat that day. It was obvious that ghosts should not avoid these things.
Sur did not give up, and finally fished it again, his arm froze slightly in mid-air, feeling that the surface of the spoon seemed to touch something soft, and slipped over again.
"So you came for that thing." The old man moved his eyes and walked over directly.
This time Sur did not retreat, but deliberately walked to the other side to maintain a safe distance.
The old man rolled up his sleeves, reached out and stirred in the thick corpse liquid, and finally pursed his mouth into a line and pulled it hard, and an eyeball the size of a fist appeared in his hand.
This is the site of Tianyi Gua, unless you kill him, you can't hide it from the sky. Sur didn't react much when he saw the strange eyeballs being taken away, and just waited for the old man to ask for conditions.
Unexpectedly, the other party handed the eyeball directly to him in the next moment.
Sur is not the opposite, and it is not if he does not.
"I was entrusted to keep this thing, and I promised to give it to someone with a predestined relationship."
Facing the old man's nasty smile, Sur asked, "How can you be considered a person of fate?"
"According to what she said, it's the kind that I want to cramp, but slaughtering it 10,000 times is not enough."
"… "
Sur carefully stretched out the long spoon: "Please put things in."
The old man's eyelids twitched, how can people be so greedy for life and fear of death
At this moment, Ji Heng, who had acquiesced to Suer's actions the whole time, suddenly appeared in front of him with the momentum of thunder, and pulled Suer back a few steps. Almost at the same time, his eyes jumped out of the spoon, jumping up and down in the air, and kept moving towards him. Sur on the charge.
This scene was obviously beyond the old man's expectations, and he was a little surprised.
His eyes seemed to be locked on Sur, even if Ji Heng stopped in front of him, he would not hesitate to make a turn and attack from behind.
Ji Heng punched him, his eyes trembled, but he didn't respond much.
Sur has seen each other kill a ghost. Could it be that the eyes are more powerful than ghosts
"Space." Ji Heng lowered his face.
Breaking through the critical point of force value can slightly distort the space and damage the ghosts, but these eyes can obviously escape in different spaces, if so...
Ji Heng pushed Suer away, but unfortunately it was too late. His eyes were clearly still a meter away, but he suddenly appeared in front of Suer and merged directly from his forehead.
"Two eyeballs?" Sur was stunned.
Ji Heng frowned: "This is a real entity, and most of what we just saw was the afterimage it left behind by escaping through space."
Sur didn't quite understand, he only knew that he had an extra eye in his body, and touched his forehead tremblingly: "I'm not... a god?"
Ji Heng didn't speak, and poured out a little incense ash from a small bottle. Suer didn't know what it was, but seeing Wei Jun walking from behind staring at the incense ash with aching and envy on his face, he knew that it was of great value.
"ate."
It's just incense ash, Sur can accept it and swallow it obediently.
Ji Heng: "Are there any burning sensations?"
Sur shook his head: "It's a bit bitter."
Ji Heng: "That's good."
In Sur's puzzled eyes, Wei Jun helped to explain: "This shows that you are not parasitized by monsters."
The old man seemed to be very interested in the eyeballs that were integrated into Sur's body, but because of the blood oath he made, he did not dissect the person.
"Get out of here as soon as you get it."
Sur had a lot of questions in his heart. On the one hand, he was worried that it would be inconvenient for other people to ask, and the answer given by Tianyi Gua might be misleading.
As soon as he stepped out of the threshold, a strong sting came from his mind, as if something exploded directly inside, and Sur hurriedly sat down with his head against the corner of the wall.
Slow down a bit, and look down to see that the spiritual value has dropped a lot.
Ji Heng didn't help him up immediately, and let him rest for a while before asking, "What's wrong?"
"I saw..." The five fingers folded together, leaving traces of fingernails on the ground, and Sur's face was extremely ugly: "There are... all snakes on the street."
Like the snake that appeared in their room last night, it had a human face and a snake body, but it was transparently attached to the human body.
Wei Jun, who was closest to the door, looked outside. The place was remote and there were not many pedestrians in the past, so it looked quite ordinary.
Ji Heng thought for a while: "I'm afraid it has something to do with that eyeball. It should have a special effect like Charm."
It's a pity that the two sides have just merged, and Sur can't be retracted freely.
Wei Jun's expression was not good when he heard this: "Trouble, I can't let him walk with his eyes closed all the time."
Sur smiled bitterly: "I can see it with my eyes closed, it's a wonderful feeling."
He stood up on the ground and looked at the old man in the distance: "What have you done to the people of Tianji City?"
Facing the Tianyi Gua, there was also a tingling pain in the head, but it was not very strong. The state of the old man seemed to be different from that of the snake people outside... Sur touched his forehead, and the things integrated into his body seemed to help him see the essence of things.
The old man sighed: "That eyeball is really a good thing."
If I knew earlier, I shouldn't make a blood oath, and I should find a way to keep it for myself.
"Didn't you see..." With a regretful sigh, the old man's attitude was high: "I gave most people a longer life span."
Sur thought of the scene on the street when he came. Some people were bargaining, some people were shouting and doing business. How could a monster pretend to be so good, unless they didn't know they had turned into monsters.
Baihu almost fainted listening to this conversation. There are not many experts in Tianji City, how could they all become ghosts? The key is that she didn't notice anything unusual.
Sur looked at him: "Why?"
The old man said indifferently: "It's like the jade pendant you brought... Even if I gave something for self-defense, the child still died at the age of twenty."
As the culprit, the white fox didn't dare to make a sound at this moment.
"Evil spirits like demons can live for thousands or hundreds of years, but humans only have a few decades." The old man's tone was not serious, but he said plainly: "It is clear that people are the longest of all spirits."
Using past fame to deceive trust, it is really easy to reform the people here little by little. He succeeded, and he has no regrets.
"These people still retain their original consciousness and think they are normal people. It's just that they occasionally lose control at night, but it's not a big deal."
It is a pity that the research is not perfect, and to survive in this attitude, at most, it will be seventy years old.
Sur didn't plan to reason with the lunatic at all, he was thinking about how to get out.
There are more pedestrians in the market ahead, and the eyes hidden in the body automatically start to observe uncontrollably, sooner or later consume his spiritual power. There is only one hexagram of Tianyi in the house, and the flower snake is the body, so the influence can be ignored.
Seeing Sur's plan, the old man gloated on his face: "You can stay with me, but you can only stay."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Wei Jun and Ji Heng again: "Before this old man finishes drinking this cup of tea, if you don't leave, I will drive him away."
It's dangerous to stay, but it's even less of a wise decision to hang out.
Even if you hide, who knows what will appear on the street when it gets dark.
The lesser of two evils, Sur whispered, "I'll stay."
Ji Heng gave him the bottle of incense ash he had poured out before, and said in a low voice, "Control the use of the eyes in your body as soon as possible."
Sur nodded.
But for a moment: only the old man and Sur were left in the house.
"You have to work if you stay." His malice towards Sur was not so great: "Come with me."
Every time he came, the scope of activities was limited to the periphery of the house. This was the first time Suer had entered the inner courtyard.
Nothing was placed in the main hall. The old man lifted a few small green bricks to reveal a small iron door. There is a universe underneath, which is a hidden cellar. Walking down the long stone steps, the air is wet and cold, and there is a fishy smell.
As the torches on both sides were lit, everything inside was finally clearly presented.
The surrounding stone walls are engraved with the patterns of many gods, including Nuwa, Fuxi, and some unnamed gods. Each one is a human face and a snake body, but it is carved here, with less majesty, but instead showing a touch of evil.
An old man's corpse was frozen with ice cubes at the front. No corpse spots were seen, and he should have died soon. The skin below the neck has all become snakeskin texture, at first glance it looks like a dense net.
The old man handed Sur a knife: "Go and take out the snake eggs from his body and soak them in the corpse fluid. As for the internal organs, take them out separately and store them in small pots."
After explaining the task, the old man turned around and walked up: "The moment the moon comes out, if you don't hand over the finished product..."
The latter words were replaced by a sneer, and instead reminded—
"Remember, there are at least hundreds of snake eggs, and there are also in the brain, and none of them can be missed."
Sur can be sure that this fellow is deliberately disgusting and rectifying himself.
Being in a cellar with a corpse couldn't have been a pleasant experience, and there were quite a few small jars on the shelves, with labels on them, and the liquids in them of different colors.
There are still a few jars at the bottom, and Sur can barely make out a few: the heart of a pig, it seems that there are duck intestines, the tail of a mouse, etc.
He took a breath and walked over to the corpse.
There seemed to be something squirming in the deceased's shriveled stomach, as if it was about to burst out the next moment. Sur guessed that it was snake eggs, and once they came out, he would definitely die without a place to be buried.
Fortunately, the Tianyi Gua does not say that things are meant to be alive, so a loophole can be drilled in this regard.
For safety, the best way is to kill the snake eggs first.
No matter what, Surr poured all kinds of strange liquid down his mouth, worried that the snake eggs would not die, and added some incense ash left by Ji Heng before he left.
…
The sky was getting dark a little bit, the old man leaned against the tree and looked at the dark sky, and stretched out his thin hand: "Life is a hundred years, it's too short, I'm not reconciled..."
The moon finally came out.
In recent years, Tianyi Gua has changed a lot in his temperament. He is dedicated to survival, and even wants everyone to live a long life, but occasionally he can't control killing people. Killing can make him feel a sense of pleasure.
He got up with a smile and walked in one direction.
Sur was sitting on the small iron gate of the cellar, motionless, when he saw the old man coming, his eyes flickered, and he stepped back slightly.
The old man smiled: "Failed? It seems that I have to ask you to leave here."
The secret city at night is not safe, and human beings will surely die once they go out.
The old man approached step by step, and he couldn't wait to see him being divided.
"You said before that humans should have hundreds of years of lifespan. I don't think it's right," Sur did not beg for mercy, but instead showed a smile that was uglier than crying: "It's right to live with the sky."
Only when he was afraid of death did he deliberately say something to cater to, the old man hooked the corner of his mouth, just about to say something—
Boom!
There was a loud noise under the iron gate, as if something was desperately hitting.
The old man frowned. According to the normal speed, snake eggs would not grow so fast.
Sur bluntly stated what he had done: "I poured all those liquids into the body and added some other things."
Hearing this, the old man showed a hint of interest: "Can it promote the differentiation of snake eggs inside the corpse?"
This is an unexpected gain.
Sur shook his head, blocked the entrance, and said with some prostration: "There is a creature whose lifespan is longer than that of a snake..."
bang bang bang bang! The sound of the impact was even more violent, and the iron door was almost about to be deformed!
Sur's face turned pale: "...that thing is called a zombie!"
The author has something to say:
Tianyi Gua is very arrogant: I want to borrow another five hundred years from the sky!
Sur: … I can lend you a thousand years, but this dungeon has to be called Resident Evil!
