living in the world of reincarnation

Chapter 11 The Last Night

As night fell, the flames of the candlesticks and kerosene lamps had been burned out, and the castle returned to darkness; the moonlight was hazy, and the crow on the spire hummed lowly. .

Mu Lan was running covered in blood, looking back from time to time, as if being chased by someone, she hid in a room and closed the door heavily.

The man holding the bloody dagger followed the direction of the sound. He came to the room where the girl was hiding and kicked open the door forcefully. Then, the girl screamed in despair. After a while, the sound stopped and the man left. Come out, with cruel eyes.

As the man walked away, another shadow hidden in the darkness moved. He laughed mockingly, and then walked out of the darkness. He came outside the room, looked left and right, and entered the room when no one found it.

After lighting the lamp, he saw that there was no one in the room. He was puzzled for a moment and realized that something was wrong. Then he turned around and saw the girl standing at the door, smiling at him.

The Earl found out that he had been tricked, and he rushed towards Mu Lan, but Mu Lan was not afraid at all, and threw the glass jar in her hand towards this man, with a loud crash, the glass jar smashed on him, and the liquid inside was poured all over his body. Then it ignited spontaneously in an instant, and the fire burned all over his body. The earl screamed and tried to extinguish the flames, and Mu Lan also took the opportunity to escape and blocked the door.

Ah Feng, who pretended to go away, came back again, and blocked the door with Mu Lan, Ah Feng asked Mu Lan: "Is this possible?"

"White phosphorus will spontaneously ignite when it meets oxygen, and the phosphorus pentoxide produced by burning is highly poisonous." Mu Lan said: "Our Lord Earl will not be burned to death, but will also be poisoned to death inside."

White phosphorus was discovered by Mu Lan when she was investigating Earl's alchemy laboratory. The white powder settled at the bottom of the glass bottle filled with liquid caught her attention at that time. Today she sneaked in again, and took it out. big risk.

In fact, the white phosphorus in Mu Lan's world was discovered during the period when western alchemy was in vogue. Alchemists were eager to convert ordinary metals into gold, and white phosphorus was a by-product of alchemy.

The earl's voice weakened, and Mu Lan was still waiting, waiting for the time when there was no movement inside,
But unexpectedly, a moment later, the wooden door that Mu Lan and Ah Feng were holding against was hit by a huge force, and the two of them were almost knocked open with a bang.

"Not dead yet?" Mu Lan asked in surprise.

Then that force hit the wooden door continuously, cracks appeared on the wooden door, and it was about to be knocked open, Mu Lan and Ah Feng looked at each other, and they both withdrew at the same time.

Without resisting, the wooden door was knocked open, and a cloud of black mist rushed out.

The Earl was severely burned by the flames caused by the white phosphorus. He covered his mouth and nose, lying on the ground and twitching constantly. There was no good flesh on his scorched skin. Centered on him was a heptagram pattern drawn with blood, densely packed with blood-red symbols. The floor was full, weird and mysterious. There was a heart on each of the five tops of the heptagram. This black mist seemed to appear out of thin air, wrapped in coldness and rancidity. The red eyes stared at the two of them, making people shudder.

"Skeleton man again?" Ah Feng asked in surprise.

"It doesn't look like it! This seems to be conscious." Mu Lan and Ah Feng ran away when they saw this, and a woman's face could be vaguely seen in the black mist, and this face was a bit familiar.

Its overall shape is different from the skeletons I saw before. Mu Lan remembered that in "The Steward Leon's Diary", it was said that the earl had been killing the servants in Fort Hill for experiments, and those might be failures. The skeletons wandering outside It is its product, and the real success is related to the ritual that the earl needs to kill seven people to complete.

"You made me unable to complete the ceremony! You all have to die! You all have to die! Kill them!" the earl roared ferociously, his face was completely unrecognizable, his eyes were exposed, and the burns were deep enough to show the bones. He pointed in the direction of the two, Black Mist activated as if he could understand it.

The undead creatures wrapped in the black mist attacked the two of them at an extremely fast speed. Seeing the disgusting rancid smell approaching, Mu Lan was so anxious that she had no choice but to grab Mu Lan's body with a pair of pale hands in the black mist. At that time, Mu Lan was quick to wit, and directly climbed over the railing of the corridor, her heart skipped a beat, and she jumped.

The height of the second floor is about five or six meters. If you don’t grasp the posture properly, you will fall to your death. Mu Lan protects her head, her body hangs down, trying to shorten the distance from the ground as much as possible, but it still hurts when she falls to the ground. Numb, the body did not stand still, and rolled directly on the ground several times, knocking down until the stars appeared on the head.

There was no time to think about her physical condition at all, Mu Lan looked up, and the undead creature suddenly opened a long distance from her, instead of chasing her, she attacked Afeng who was relatively close.

Faced with a pair of hands coming towards him, A Feng still wanted to forcefully dodge them with his own skills. While running, he put his hands on the ground and suddenly changed directions. But this time, his opponent was neither Wang Qiang nor an ordinary skeleton. He was pale and exuding death. Qi Qi's hands still touched A Feng's back.

In an instant, Ah Feng's clothes were burned through by the black mist, and a large piece of skin on his back rotted and fell off. He gritted his teeth and tried to hold back the pain. This face-to-face undead creature was so terrifying just by rubbing it on his back. If it was really caught, it would definitely die, so Ah Feng He also imitated Mu Lan and jumped down from the second floor.

When Ah Feng jumped down, he was not as embarrassed as Mu Lan. When he landed, he rolled and stood firmly. He hurriedly looked at Mu Lan, who had a colorful and disheveled face, "What should we do now?"

"Let me think about it, let me think about it" Mu Lan noticed that the jade bracelet on her wrist was shining again, and she didn't have time to think about what was going on with it. Stay calm and cool.

After thinking for a while, Mu Lan said: "I need to find a complex terrain to deal with it, you go and open the gate of the castle, and bring in all the skeletons outside!"

"Okay!" Afeng nodded directly without questioning Mu Lan. He ran to the door without forgetting to tell Mu Lan not to be touched by undead creatures.

The cloud of black mist floated down from the second floor and chased in the direction of Mu Lan's running. The Earl looked down at the two who ran away separately, his scorched face exposed two rows of sharp teeth, and he smiled strangely. .

Mu Lan dodged in countless corridors, door openings, and pillars. This is the residence of the servants on the first floor of the ancient castle, and the back kitchen of the ancient castle is also here. The rooms are interconnected and very complicated.She was playing a "peek-a-boo" game where she would die if she failed. Fortunately, this undead creature obeyed the laws of physics and did not pass through the wall, otherwise she would have died countless times.

The closest Mu Lan got to the undead creature was just now. The moment she flashed into the side passage, she felt a chill on her back, but her clothes seemed to be burned by flames. The sense of crisis that was close at hand forced her She exploded with an unprecedented survival instinct.

run!Hurry up!Hurry up!

Mu Lan never looked back, because the cold feeling of death and decay was always behind her. She prayed that time would pass quickly, as long as it was early in the morning, everything might turn around, and she was also praying for Ah Feng's side The action quickly succeeds.

Ah Feng is also running, and the situation on his side is more dangerous. After all, he does not deliberately choose a terrain suitable for avoiding. There is only an open garden outside the castle. Ah Feng keeps making noises. Run to the castle.

Although Ah Feng was fast, he could only run in a straight line. After being almost attacked by skeletons several times, he finally led the group of red-eyed monsters into the castle. He had only one target, and that was the count himself.

There was no expression on the earl's scorched and festered face at all, but he should be shocked at the moment. Ah Feng rushed directly to the earl on the second floor. Passed by and ran further behind him.

"Come back quickly!" The earl knew his purpose and roared loudly. The skeletons attracted by Ah Feng only attacked the nearest person. Ah Feng had already run away, so the skeletons faced the seriously injured earl.

Mu Lan felt that the sense of danger behind her disappeared. She looked back and saw that the black mist was quickly moving away from her. It seemed that Afeng had succeeded. This undead creature was different from the skeletons. Although it was summoned through five hearts It is also a semi-finished product, but it should be stronger than those skeletons. It is conscious and controlled by the count. If the count is attacked, it will naturally be called back to protect its master.

The earl was also running away, but he couldn't escape the group of skeletons as he was seriously injured, and was thrown to the ground by the leader within a few steps. The bone claws tore his body frantically, and the earl screamed and wailed.

"Win Ruiti! Help me!"

"Vinity!"

When the undead creatures arrived, the earl was almost dying, his breath was weak, and he was still calling this name while his vitality was dissipating.

"Win Ruetti, my wife."

Undead Wen Ruidi erupted with a horrifying aura, and the black mist exploded. The skeletons around the earl instantly turned into gray powder, and the powerful aura also caused the nearby skeletons to be blown away.

The count smiled when he saw the undead Wen Ruidi, "I knew that you have always cared about me the most." His eyes showed a rare tenderness, and he wanted to get up, but he couldn't sit up anyway, so he lay on the ground, There was sadness in the laughter, "It's a pity. I'm going to succeed this time, damn it, I almost resurrected you."

The remaining skeletons are still pouring into the second floor. They have no thoughts, only the hunger for life. The undead Wen Ruidi guards the earl, and the skeletons that attack it are constantly smashed, but there are still countless skeletons rushing forward one after another. come up.

"These lowly servants are still so useless even if they die." The earl's voice was weak, full of sarcasm: "They all think I'm crazy, haha, without you by my side, I am indeed crazy, no matter how many people die so what if you can come back"

As if feeling the Earl's sorrow, the undead Wen Ruiti howled in pain. The sharp cry made the heart palpitate. The black mist spread to the entire corridor on the second floor. It can only be inferred from the impact of various objects that there are still people there. A battle of undead and skeletons is going on.

Ah Feng walked around to the corridor on the other side and came down the stairs. After exercising vigorously, Mu Lan joined him panting heavily. The two of them watched the non-human battle upstairs, hoping that they would both lose, because no matter which side survived Mu Lan, who was physically exhausted, couldn't resist anymore.

The east in the distance was slightly bright, the long night finally passed, the black mist dissipated, the skeletons disappeared, and the earl died after calling out the last word Wenretti. Judging from his scorched face, he was carrying The body of the undead Wen Ruidi, who died smiling, also gradually faded away. It looked at the earl until it disappeared.

The Earl's love touched Mu Lan. She didn't know what kind of emotion could make the Earl explode into the madness of resurrecting his dead wife no matter how many people he killed. Without Mu Lan and A Feng's intervention, he would almost succeed.

But here they are natural enemies, sighed, Mu Lan put away a trace of compassion, and then found that her body was getting lighter and lighter, her hands were almost transparent, and the same was true for Ah Feng next to her, both of them were surprised Watching all this change.

Is it over?Do you want to leave this castle?

Although everything that happened here was only three days long, the tense nerves made Mu Lan feel extremely long, and her consciousness returned to the half-dream and half-awake state at the beginning. Before it disappeared completely, Mu Lan smiled. She actually forgot to ask Ah Feng professional.
