I didn't understand what Cui Benshan meant, but soon I understood what he was referring to.
While running, Cui Benshan asked Fang Weijiang if there were other exits in the forbidden area. Although the other party struggled, he finally revealed the location of the exit because his spirit had been controlled by him. Although I understood the direction of the exit, I did not feel relaxed because if we wanted to go to that exit, we had to pass through the entire forbidden area. Although the Guixu believers are trapped by the monster, it does not mean that we are safe. Because those monsters can't tell the difference between good and evil, and we will naturally be targeted by them.
So, I finally saw the true face of that monster!
They were roughly human-shaped, but their faces and bodies showed a sickly distortion, their skin was as dry as a tree trunk, their eyes were lifeless, their mouths were bloody, and they had no sense at all, just like zombies that only appear in movies!
It's just that these monsters move much faster than zombies, and are even much more powerful. They can carve cracks into walls with one claw. Even Cui Benshan found it difficult to deal with these monsters. Fortunately, most of the monsters were attracted by the Guixu believers, and only one or two appeared in front of us. Cui Benshan finally solved them all.
"Dead souls!" Cui Benshan continued walking and said the names of these monsters, "They are the dead with incomplete souls!"
"How can the dead have souls?" I was very confused about this and couldn't help but ask.
Fang Weijiang seemed to understand something and said: "Because they can't rest in peace after they die!"
I still didn't understand, but what happened next made me no longer allowed to ask.
It seems that the Guixu believers have been eliminated one after another, and a large number of dead souls have begun to gather towards us. Seeing that our way was blocked, we had no choice but to take shelter in a room ahead. Fortunately, Fang Weijiang knew how to open the door, otherwise we would all die there. Of course, Fang Weijiang is not afraid of death, nor does he want to save us. He did this just because he didn't want to lose me as the carrier of the soul box.
I have to say that in order to protect an important part of my plan, Fang Weijiang even risked his own life. Before we entered the gate, he handed the child to me, and he stayed outside to try his best to prevent the attack of the dead souls, and almost no monsters were killed on the spot.
Although the other party is said to be an evil Guixu believer, I still can't bear to see the miserable situation of the other party surrounded by dead souls. At this time, the child actually woke up.
"Where is this?" The child's consciousness was still a little blurry, and he muttered something incomprehensible in my arms.
Strangely enough, after hearing the child's voice, those dead souls suddenly stiffened and stopped moving.
Cui Benshan took this opportunity to rush over and rescue Fang Weijiang, and finally closed the door. His move was not merciful, just because he still needed the other party to show him the way, and he couldn't let Fang Weijiang die like this. The child seemed to be talking in his sleep, mumbled a few more words, and fell asleep again.
According to Cui Benshan, the dead souls outside the door cannot find living people and will disperse soon.
I finally breathed a sigh of relief and realized that the place we were in was a bit unusual.
The space here is much larger than I imagined. The entire space is like a theater that can accommodate nearly a thousand people. In the center of this space, there is a statue about four meters high. Judging from its image, it is a woman wearing different clothes. The woman's expression was solemn, with a hint of sadness in her expression. I couldn't help but be in a trance, but I didn't notice Fang Weijiang quietly walking to the corner of the room.
Cui Benshan noticed Fang Weijiang's strange movements and immediately asked: "What are you going to do!"
Cui Benshan thought, and Fang Weijiang, who was restrained, suddenly groaned in pain. At first, Fang Weijiang wanted to continue struggling, but the pain became louder and louder, and finally he fell to his knees holding his head.
"If you move around, I will crush your mind!" Cui Benshan warned.
Fang Weijiang succumbed to the pain, begging for mercy like a wounded beast. Cui Benshan "hummed", but he didn't make any movement. Fang Weijiang suddenly relaxed all over, breathed a long sigh of relief, and leaned softly against the wall behind him.
"What is this place?" Cui Benshan asked Fang Weijiang.
I also saw that Fang Weijiang knew this place.
Sure enough, Fang Weijiang replied, "This is the center of the forbidden area. It is said that there are treasures left by strangers from ancient times."
"Including the soul box?" Cui Benshan asked again.
Fang Weijiang nodded.
"What is the soul box?" I asked.
"The soul box is actually the treasure of our Guixu believers! It is the hope for the revival of our Guixu believers after the Jedi Tiantong, but the stranger took it away!" Fang Weijiang said through gritted teeth.
"Jedi Tiantong?"
I heard a familiar word, which, if I remember correctly, refers to a mythical story. Emperor Zhuanxu's fate was great, and Li opened the distance between heaven and earth. From then on, gods and humans did not interfere with each other. Could it be said that this is not just a fairy tale, but that Jedi Heaven Tong really happened
Cui Benshan saw the doubts in my heart and explained: "The Jedi Heaven they refer to is not the mythical story you know. It mainly refers to the ancient real people and foreigners working together to block the relationship between the God of Guixu and the believers of Guixu." The induction of time. Without the support of the ancient gods behind them, the minions of Guixu declined rapidly. However, the centipede insects did not die. They have been lurking in the dark, trying to restore their former glory, and this soul box is the result of these evil spirits. Part of the believer's revival plan! Once they get the soul box, the Guixu believers are likely to return the world to the brutal and cruel mythical age!"
"This box actually has such terrifying power?" To be honest, I don't really believe it. Even after experiencing so many weird and bizarre things, what Cui Benshan just said was beyond the scope of my imagination.
"It's not just terrifying! It's also very vicious!" Cui Benshan said, "This soul box will cause the carrier to suffer great torture and completely destroy its consciousness. The collection of wills of the returners of the past generations will replace it, and then the carrier will be destroyed by this force. The powerful spiritual power twists the carrier's physical body and turns it into a terrifying monster."
This carrier naturally refers to me.
Just listening to Cui Benshan's description made me shudder. What's even more frightening is that it seems that these words have touched the imprint of Du Chunsheng in my consciousness. I find that my consciousness has become a little blurry, and all kinds of vicious thoughts are breeding in my mind. Memories that do not belong to me are gradually reviving. Even behavior begins to get out of control.
"How could this happen! Du Chunsheng's spiritual imprint has actually revived!" Cui Benshan was shocked when he saw this, and immediately said to me: "Calm down! You can't succumb to Du Chunsheng's consciousness! You must fight against it before you can..."
I also tried to resist the influence of the mental mark, but my own will was too weak, and the power of Du Chunsheng's mental mark was much stronger than I expected, and he quickly took over the dominance of the body. The last thing I remember is that my eyes are getting darker and darker, and Cui Benshan's voice is getting farther and farther away from me. Then I felt myself sinking completely into darkness.
