I Forged the Myth of the Old Ones

Lu Bian shoved the two dried small fish into the hands of the reluctant child in Dryshui Town. After sending him away, he then looked at the reef cave.

The cave is not deep, but at this time the sun has risen, and the entrance of the cave looks quite dark.

Drizzt took out the revolver, while Lu Kian directly took out the flashlight, ready to illuminate it.

"Wait a moment."

Drizzt stopped Lu Jun immediately.

"I'm on guard outside, you go check the situation first."

He had just lost his sanity because of Ayu's incident, and now he obviously wants to see the body of an inhuman thing. If he doesn't deal with it, he may have another wave of confusion, so Drizzt decided to let Lu Bian go first. Try the water, if Lu Bian doesn't respond, then he will follow up.

In A Quiet Place, this kind of exploration method is very useful when the team is investigating. After all, when seeing those monsters or encountering extremely strange scenes, it is better to take turns one by one instead of losing their senses together.

Moreover, when the sanity has decreased to a certain level, people will also have various temporary crazy phenomena, such as fainting, hysteria, confusion, confusion, depression, etc. Just now Drizzt almost wanted to face himself Shoot, kill yourself, it's very dangerous.

If only one person encounters such a situation, at least the other companions can help suppress it.

If everyone goes crazy together, they might be wiped out immediately.

"no problem."

Lu Bian didn't know Drizzt's considerations, so he only went into the cave with a flashlight.

Soon, Lu Bian saw the corpse.

hum-

Lu Bian felt his heart beating a little faster.

The body of the corpse was like an ordinary human, except that the limbs were more slender, and there seemed to be some kind of mucous membrane-like structure between the fingers. He had almost no clothes on his body, and the corpse had swelled slightly due to decay. It is estimated that the process of decay has already begun.

The head of the corpse, that is the most striking.

The head has no human appearance at all. Instead, it has large fish eyes, thick lips, and gills on both sides of the head. The part where the fish head is connected to the human body is slightly stiff, as if it was forcibly sewn into together in general.

If Lu Bian is a person with firm religious belief, he may blurt out blasphemous comments at this time, but as an ordinary modern person who has watched many horror movies, Lu Bian only slightly Leaning down, illuminated its head with a flashlight.

The fish's eyes are very cloudy, and the scales on its head have fallen off. In the dark cave, only the light of the flashlight lights up this hideous and terrifying corpse.

Lu Bian got closer, trying to find more clues from the corpse.

He inspected the few remaining clothes of the corpse. The fabric of the clothes was delicate, not the same as ordinary coarse clothes. It seemed that they could only be worn by well-made high-class people. There were traces of reef cutting on the body. Not fatal.

"How the hell did this die?"

Lu Bian flashed his flashlight down, his eyes focused on the corpse's hand.

He noticed two things.

First of all, apart from the scratches caused by the reef, this hand has almost no traces of other labor. Obviously, as a fisherman, his hands are bound to wear calluses due to long-term fishing, but this person did not , indicating that he usually does not perform routine labor.

Secondly, between the fingers of this person, there is a translucent structure like fins, like the webbed of a frog, which is obviously a structure that only creatures living in water have.

Combined with the fact that it appeared by the sea and the mission information obtained by Lu Jian, this means

"A walking fish, is this the kind of creature you're talking about?"

Lu Bian muttered to himself as he prepared to look down.

At this moment, a clear laugh came from behind Lu Bian.

"whee."

The crisp female voice made Lu Bian turn his head immediately, the flashlight illuminated, but he didn't see anyone.

After scanning the cave, there was no more discovery. Lu Kian continued to check the corpse, but when his eyes returned to the corpse again, he found that the corpse in front of him seemed to twitch.

With the flashlight up, Lu Bian saw that the fish head seemed to have moved, but it didn't seem to move.

He looked there, only to see a strange reflection of light in the eyes of the fish.

It's mobile proof!

Lu Bian took a step back and saw that the half-fish half-human guy seemed to stand up.

No, it wasn't, its belly started to swell.

Realizing what was going to happen, Lu Han hurriedly turned around and ran away.

bang——

Explosions erupted from the corpses, and the rotting, festering, filthy blood splashed in the cave, muddying the water.

When the organism dies, the microorganisms inside the corpse begin to putrefy, and a large amount of gas will be released. If these gases cannot escape, they will accumulate in the organism and swell the corpse. When the critical value is reached, or the corpse is exposed to the outside world The disturbance is very likely to break the balance and explode directly.

In the real world, after the death of giant creatures such as whales and elephants, there will even be explosions in a very large range, which is quite dangerous.

The corpse just now probably exploded because of Lu Kian's inspection, creating the illusion of movement.

"what happened?"

Drizzt heard a loud noise from the cave and hurriedly called out to ask.

"The body exploded."

Lu Bian replied briefly, the air was full of stench, and he flashed his flashlight back to the place where the corpse was originally located. Only the remains that were so hideous that a mosaic was needed to be viewed.

"However, these internal organs are similar to those of humans, and the lungs were found."

Lu Bian reluctantly found something resembling a lung from the pile of blood and flesh.

Later, he discovered that this organ was full of silt.

The silt smelled different from the rotten smell, more like some kind of metal.

"These creatures should be mutations of humans, but it is not clear whether these silts are the cause of mutation or the result of mutation."

Unfortunately, without a suitable container on hand, Lu Bian was unable to take some samples.

After another check, Lu Kian left the cave.

After exchanging information with Drizzt and searching around the beach, it was already evening when the two returned to the town.

Walking into the door of the inn, Lu Bian saw that the servant who was as pale as a dead man was waiting here the night before.

"My master wants to invite the two of you to the mansion tonight for a chat."

There was a smile on his face, like a paper figurine for memorial service.

Ask for a monthly pass, recommend a ticket!

===073. Have you prepared dinner===

The sea mansion.

It was difficult for Lu Kian to describe how a building could have such a gloomy feeling.

The two ever-bright red lanterns at the gate shone with a faint light, making the gate a little bloody. Lu Bian and Drizzt followed behind the servant. The man walked lightly and silently, which is why It was only before that he could silently appear behind the two of them.

Under the light of the lantern, Lu Bian could only see the opponent's thin shadow, like the afterimage left by the light penetrating through a piece of paper.

This kind of mansion usually has a small door on one side of the gate.

They are the sea family mansion who entered through the small door.

"Master ordered, the two are our important guests, and I want to entertain them tonight to rest at home."

The servant's voice was also somewhat illusory, as if it came from a jar.

Entering the mansion, the first thing that catches your eye is some decorative trees.

It's just that these trees are not like welcoming pine or wealthy trees, but are crooked, with sparse branches and leaves, and it seems that no one has taken care of them for a long time.

On the branches, there seem to be traces of ropes entangled, strangling the bark, as if someone had hanged here.

The road was a little wet, and it looked like soft sand when stepped on it. Lu Bian lifted his foot to see that it had never rained, but the ground was wet and full of water marks.

"Have you cleaned up today?"

Lu Bian asked immediately.

"The big wedding is coming soon, and the whole family is very busy."

The servant replied without explaining.

But contrary to what he said, Lu Bian and Drizzt did not see any other servants.

As dusk fell, only scattered red lanterns illuminated the road in the mansion. Other than that, it was empty and did not look like there were living people living there.

Lu Bian looked to the side of the road, looking for the traces of the seal that the Black Queen Mother said.

Soon, with almost no effort, Lu Bian saw the thing.

It's so conspicuous.

In the center of the mansion, in the center of a pond, is a tower.

It was a tower whose architectural style could not be described by Lu Jian. Counting from the bottom to the top, it had six floors in total. The height of each floor was no more than one meter. The surrounding trees are connected, and it is very unlucky at first glance.

"What is that tower?"

Drizzt and Lu Bian apparently thought of it together, he asked.

"The mansion is very big, be careful to get lost."

The servants avoided talking.

Just when Drizzt turned his gaze back to the front, he suddenly saw that there seemed to be a woman wearing a red wedding dress standing beside the Lake Heart Tower.

In the blink of an eye, the woman disappeared again, leaving only the lonely tower standing in the desolate courtyard.

The servant took the two to a different courtyard.

From a distance, they saw dim lights in this other courtyard. Lu Bian and Drizzt walked into the courtyard and saw two people sitting in a room with a Chinese-style layout.

There is a painting on the wall facing the gate. The painting is not a traditional landscape, flowers and birds, but the sea.

It's just that the sea is turbulent, and among the waves, some kind of creatures that have never been seen before are hiding in it. They capsize ships, attack humans, and surround the two writhing people in the middle of the picture. of weirdness.

As for the two people sitting in the chair, it was even more strange.

On the left is an elderly man. His face is paler than paper, but his lips are very red. He has an unnatural morbid feeling, more like a dead man than a servant.
