Chapter 26: Dumping the Figures
Lin Guihe noticed something strange about Chu Zhen, and looked in the direction where Chu Zhen was looking, and saw that directly above them, a huge brass mirror filled the entire top.
The black hole that fell down has disappeared.
And on the mirror, human bones were so densely adhered that it made people's scalp numb just looking at them.
They stood upside down on the bronze mirror and looked at them with their eyes open.
[Let me go! What is this? What is this? Why are there so many corpses? 】
[I thought the monster would come out of the water, but I didn’t expect it to be above. I really underestimated the system’s imagination.]
[I think I overestimated my endurance. This thing is too scary to look at. Thinking about it, there was something staring at me from above...]
Some of the corpses had turned into white bones, leaving only dry frames, empty clothes, and stains of blood that had solidified and turned black.
Some have turned into mummies, with their skins attached to their bones.
Some seemed to have just died, their faces still fresh, but the flesh and blood gushing out looked like disgusting white worms.
In the gap between the bones, the brass mirror reflected the appearance underneath, three faces full of shock. Strangely, their appearances in the mirror were also upside down.
Zhu Zhen frowned strangely.
Also reflected were the deep pool and the strange pavilion.
The appearance of the pavilion was particularly clear. For some reason, the bones seemed to have deliberately avoided the image reflected by the pavilion.
In addition, there is a subtle feeling, as if these corpses are the audience sitting around the pavilion, enjoying the wonderful performance in the pavilion.
Suddenly, all the surrounding lights dimmed, and a light from nowhere fell on the pavilion in the pond.
Before Zhu Zhen had time to look at the pavilion, he first saw the bright red figure inside the pavilion from the image of the brass mirror.
She quickly looked towards the pavilion, and sure enough she saw the red priestess in the pavilion.
She was still wearing bright red clothes, with silver jewelry hanging around her waist, wrists, head and neck, and the hanging fine silver jewelry jingled.
She also wore a silver mask that covered half of her face, just like what she had seen in her memory.
Chu Zhen vaguely remembered the girl in his memory with a smile as bright as a flower, but when he saw her again, he only felt chills running down his spine.
A familiar chant rang in my ears, but this time, it wasn't just Zhu Zhen who was heard.
"Be careful." Lin Guihe warned carefully. Zhu Zhen nodded and became wary, looking at the woman in red on the stage without turning his eyes.
The woman in red just stood there with her eyes closed, like a puppet.
As the chanting became clearer and clearer, the woman in red suddenly opened her eyes and her body began to dance slowly.
With her graceful figure and flexible waist, if she wasn't in this weird place, I would have wanted to give her a luxurious carnival.
Ye Xiaotong, who was beside him, suddenly pulled off the sleeves of Chu Zhen's clothes and whispered into Chu Zhen's ear: "Is that person the red priest we saw before?"
Ye Xiaotong's breath, which was a little unsteady because of fear, touched Chu Zhen's ear, and Chu Zhen shrank in discomfort.
"It should be."
In fact, it is definitely her, because she is exactly the same as what he saw in his memories.
"Then, what is she doing now?" Ye Xiaotong asked timidly, except that she didn't notice that her eyes were always on herself.
Greedy, eager, yet full of resentment.
Zhu Zhen shook her head, but she guessed that this might be a kind of sacrifice, but she didn't know what the purpose of this sacrifice was.
Thinking of everything I experienced at the altar before, it was also a sacrifice, a sacrifice in which the saint's life was used to exchange the peace of the village.
I don’t know if it has the same purpose this time.
Thinking of that suffocating feeling, I can't help but feel a little scared.
Ever since the red priestess appeared, Lin Guihe had been carefully observing his surroundings.
Suddenly he heard something, like a "clacking" sound caused by the cracking of bones, mixed with a slight moan.
Lin Guihe suddenly raised his head, his eyes widened suddenly, he quickly stretched out his hand to hold Chu Zhen, and took a step back.
Zhu Zhen was pulled back a step, still holding Ye Xiaotong's hand.
As soon as the two people stepped back, a corpse that was as shriveled as a zombie and seemed to have no flesh and blood except for its skin fell on the ground where they were standing just now.
The eyes that were almost falling off were staring at Zizhen and the others tenaciously, the corners of his mouth were grinning upward, and he opened his mouth, revealing the sharp fangs that no longer looked like humans.
Just a moment ago, these bones were just sitting quietly on the mirror, but with the dance and sudden singing of the red priestess, they began to move.
At first, he just turned his head and limbs slowly, then became more and more rapid, more and more crazy, and gradually became rioting.
Until Lin Guihe heard the noise and raised his head, the corpses were completely crazy, and finally jumped down from the bronze mirror in an inverted form.
One of them came straight towards Lin Guihe and the others.
Lin Guihe could only quickly pull Zhu Zhen away, while throwing a charm onto the corpse.
The talisman burned in the air as Lin Guihe recited the spell, but before the talisman fell on the corpse, it suddenly went out for some unknown reason.
Although the spell did not harm the corpse, it angered the corpse.
The corpse turned its head, suddenly let out a roar, and rushed towards Ye Xiaotong who was closest to him manically.
Ye Xiaotong was so frightened that he wanted to run away, but the place here was only so big, and the bones moved faster than he thought, and he was caught up within a few steps.
Corpse stretched out his hand to grab Ye Xiaotong, but Ye Xiaotong subconsciously blocked it with his arm. Corpse grabbed Ye Xiaotong's arm and bit Ye Xiaotong's arm.
The sharp fangs pierced the handwriting, and Ye Xiaotong screamed in pain.
Zhu Zhen turned around and kicked the corpse away, and saw several dark holes on Ye Xiaotong's arm where the corpse had bitten them, with unknown yellow mucus staining the sides.
Within a moment, the yellow mucus quickly burned the contaminated skin, exposing the flesh and blood and white bones inside.
This mucus is so poisonous!
Despite being really horrified, there was no time to bandage Ye Xiaotong right now.
Over there, the corpse that had just been beaten away by Zizhen quickly stood up and wanted to rush in their direction.
