Under the leadership of the other party, Bai Zhi went all the way straight into the manor.
In the entire manor, except for the two of them who were holding hands, there was no one in the manor. The decorations inside were strange and weird, and there was a faint sense of absurdity and weirdness.
"… gas?"
While being held by the girl's hand and walking forward a little helplessly, Bai Zhi asked the other party curiously.
"Do you recognize me based on this so-called Qi?"
"That's right, just like fingerprints, everyone's Qi is unique. Although my eyes are gone, I still have my mind."
Holding his hand and walking forward along the long corridor, the girl started talking very lively.
"Everyone's anger is different. It's best to recognize your anger."
"Angry...what does my anger look like?"
Thinking of the other party's status as an inheritor, Bai Zhi slightly raised his eyebrows.
"sun."
Suddenly stopping her progress, the girl turned around and looked at him seriously.
"In my mind's eye perception, you are like the sun."
"Just like the sun in the sky outside?"
Bai Zhi pointed out slightly amusedly.
"No, it's a star, a burning star in the universe."
Holding out a finger in front of his face, the deceased Zero seriously corrected the typos in his words.
"I don't know how to describe it in words, because I can't see everything. Maybe it's more appropriate to describe the scene as vast or spectacular. I don't even dare to look at you directly, because it will burn you. to me."
"No...am I so mysterious?"
Bai Zhi looked at himself from various angles with God's perspective, but he couldn't see anything.
"some."
Looking up at him, the girl with white gauze around her eyes nodded seriously.
"... Let's talk about other things."
Although he knew that the other party could not see him at the moment, Bai Zhi was still a little unaccustomed to being stared at by the other party, and turned his head and looked aside, and at the same time changed the topic.
"Why did the message you sent us take that form?"
"Because as long as I reveal even a little bit of information, you will be pulled here when you read that text. The contagious effect of this thing is very powerful."
Putting her head in front of Bai Zhi, the girl's words were full of begging for praise and flattery.
"So, I'm smart, right? I've even thought of such a thing."
"... Well, very smart."
Bai Zhi felt a little complicated and reached out to touch the other person's head.
"Hehe, I knew it."
After rubbing her head on his hand with great satisfaction, the girl happily reached out and hugged his arm again.
"Don't worry, those watchdogs can't get in here, because they are just watchdogs. Before that will is fully awakened, there is nothing to be afraid of here."
"So where are we going now?"
After trying to pull out his arm but touching a piece of softness, Bai Zhi reluctantly gave up the move.
Although he couldn't tell because he always wore that kind of clothes, he didn't expect that the other party's figure would be so impressive... Well, quite impressive.
"The center of the manor, I have permission there."
As she spoke, the girl looked eager to try and reached out to hold the night knife in her hand.
"That will hasn't woken up yet, but it will wake up soon. It seems to have been suppressed by some kind of force, and a lot of the power cannot be used, but that kind of power is gradually growing over time. Gradually reduce it. If we don’t take advantage of this rare opportunity to do something, it will be too late.”
"… Yeah?"
Bai Zhi lowered his head and glanced at the girl holding his arms, with a thoughtful look on his face.
The gravekeeper is on the verge of death, the puzzle cards have mutated, and the suppression power of [Ghost Story Cemetery] has weakened... This in itself is indeed the inducement for the buried thing to wake up.
- The deceased Ling had clearly never seen the tombkeeper, but he accurately deduced the development of the situation.
It would be okay if he didn't discover this, but after realizing that if he ignored it and just escaped for his life, the situation might lead to a worse outcome, with the character of the deceased Zero, it was indeed possible for him to do something like this alone.
It's just that the deceased Ling has calculated everything perfectly, and even her retreat has been planned in advance, but Bai Zhi is sure that the other party never thought that she would become like this...
With the character of the deceased Zero, if he thought back on this experience afterwards... he wouldn't be so ashamed that he would commit suicide, right
Thinking of this, Bai Zhi's expression suddenly looked strange.
After walking in the manor for about ten minutes, under the leadership of the girl, Bai Zhi and her came to a very strange hall.
"This is it."
Reluctantly letting go of her hand, the girl raised her hand and pressed it into the void in front of her. As she moved, a strange and complicated pattern appeared on the palm of her hand.
And at the moment when the pattern was fully displayed on the palm of her hand, a dark passage appeared in front of them.
—There was dead silence in the passage.
Volume 1 The Gap between Virtuality and Reality: Chapter 840 Chapter 830 The Cave of Desire
It was dark inside the passage. If you looked in from the outside, you couldn't see anything at all.
However, Bai Zhi's current mind was not on the dark passage in front of him, but on the right hand of the deceased Ling.
After the passage was opened, from the strange pattern on the palm of her right hand, black cracks spread wantonly on her palm like a spider web.
As if the land was experiencing an extreme drought, the girl's skin was chapped, and the cracks quickly spread from the palms to the wrists, and quickly spread upward along the elbows.
And the girl seemed to have expected this kind of thing. When the cracks started to creep up on her wrist, her left hand had already clenched the night knife tightly, and she slashed down with her right hand without hesitation... Bai Zhi promptly stopped her behavior.
"Can you stop being so hard on yourself all the time?"
Bai Zhi glared at the other party angrily, and while the blade opened a gap in the palm of his left hand, Bai Zhi reached out and grabbed the girl's right wrist.
—The injury to the left hand was located at the long scratch on the arm, and the place where he lost consciousness was also there. The other parts had no effect.
"Wait a minute, that's a high-concentration poison of desire. Only those like me who have had their desires stripped away can do it..."
When she felt the hand grabbing her right hand, her expression suddenly changed, and the girl quickly and anxiously tried to shake that hand away.
But what she didn't expect was that at the next moment, a hand directly pulled her into a warm embrace, and the sound of warm breathing sounded directly in her ears.
"Don't worry, I'm fine. I have a sense of discretion in this matter."
Sensing the other party's struggle, Bai Zhi frowned slightly and hugged the girl in his arms tighter again, resting his chin on the other party's shoulder. Bai Zhi lowered his eyes and looked at his left hand.
"Also, don't move."
Using the crack in the palm of his left hand as the entry point, the surging poison of desire no longer spread upward along the girl's arm, but all of it sank into his hand.
It was as if there was something in his body that attracted the poison of desire. The poison that had spread to the top even returned with it, and all of it sank into his arm.
With the influx of toxins, his left hand was undergoing extremely horrific changes. His fingers were split one by one like exploding flower bones, the skin was chapped inch by inch, and black cracks cut the palm into pieces...
—But they didn’t spread up the arms.
These extremely contagious poisons of desire completely lost this characteristic in his body.
Regarding this point, Bai Zhi had already noticed it before. Compared with bloody hand chopping, this was obviously more cost-effective.
"Okay, take this medicine."
Seeing the girl's arm gradually returning to normal, he exhaled a little in his mouth and let go of his hand. Bai Zhi scolded the other person in an annoyed manner while he took the last dose of anti-curse potion from his backpack. Take it out.
"Don't be so cruel to yourself in the future. If you don't agree with me, you'll gouge out your eyes and cut off your hands. You can do it... Stop looking for me. I'm fine."
Hiding his left hand behind his back, Bai Zhi gave the girl in front of him, who had her head lowered and refused to give up, a blow with his hand.
"Don't you know this thing is contagious? Take the medicine quickly. It was caused by your best friend Q Lingmeng. It's a pity that Q Lingmeng is not with me, otherwise..."
Before Bai Zhi could finish his sentence, all the rest of his words were blocked in his mouth.
Looking at the girl standing on tiptoes in front of him with her hands around his neck, and feeling the soft touch coming from his lips, Bai Zhi couldn't help but froze there.
This is...the fifth time
… … … … … … … … …
Five minutes later, the two of them stepped into the dark passage together.
"This is the core of the entire labyrinth of desire. If you want to enter here, you must have the corresponding permissions."
Holding Bai Zhi's arm tightly and following him step by step, the girl spoke seriously.
"If the desire itself is not stripped away, once the high-concentration poison of desire breaks out, it will kill people in an instant and turn it into that kind of terrifying monster, which will stay here forever. But even if It's because one's own desires have been stripped away, and the poison will permeate the whole body in an instant. Cutting off one's wrist is the best way."
"…where did you know this?"
Bai Zhi raised his head and looked at the scene in front of him, exhaled a little breath in his mouth, and asked the girl next to him.
What appeared in front of him was an extremely wide underground cave.
Corpses were buried in the soil, or embedded in the rock wall, and were densely arranged. These terrifying corpses stretched far ahead, and were eventually obscured by darkness, making it impossible to see the end.
It is no longer suitable to describe it as littering with corpses. This place is simply a corpse cave full of corpses. What the two of them stepped on was not uneven ground, but corpses that were piled up one after another.
-The scene in front of me is simply shocking.
"In a certain room, I found records left by players who came here before. Those players used this method to seal this thing before."
As he spoke, the girl turned her head and looked forward.
In her mind's eye perception, the dim and obscure light spots in front of her almost formed a vast ocean.
"At the beginning, a lot of people died trying to find out how to seal it. But this time we are very lucky. Those things have fallen into a deep sleep, so there is basically no danger."
"Do you want to record it... What should we do?"
As he spoke, Bai Zhilue turned his head and looked at his left arm.
Due to the poison of desire, although the poison was limited to the left hand and did not spread to other parts of the body, his left hand was completely dehumanized at this time and was basically completely useless.
However, although it was said that he could be completely restored by using the title [Dominated], considering certain factors, he did not intend to use this trump card here.
"Find the center and cut off the connection between the will and these corpses. If possible, it would be better to completely destroy these corpses."
The girl spoke seriously.
"But there are millions of corpses here. It would be impossible to destroy all these corpses, so we can only use the first method."
"Destroy the body... where is the center?"
Bai Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly.
"The place with the highest concentration of corpses."
"Then let's go."
After letting out a breath, Bai Zhi summoned the ragdoll cat.
"We don't have much time, let's seize it."
Volume One: The Gap between Illusion and Reality: Chapter 841 Chapter 831: Dreamland, Princess Hug, Flower Curse
In this cave filled with corpses, it is not difficult to find the place mentioned by the dead Zero.
Bai Zhi didn't even need to deliberately find the way, he just had to follow the place with the most corpses and find his way there.
With the ragdoll cat as a means of transportation, Bai Zhi and the others did not spend too long and easily arrived at the center of the corpse cave.
Here, corpses were piled up to form a large mountain, and more than a dozen corpse pillars formed by piled corpses led straight to the sky, giving people a strange illusion that the entire cave was made of corpses.
"..."
Squinting his eyes slightly, Bai Zhi stood up from the ragdoll cat, raised his head and looked at the mountain of corpses and pillars in front of him.
Along the way, he had basically learned about the origins of this strange story from the deceased Zero.
At the beginning, this strange story was just a pleasant dream that made people feel comfortable.
