Abuse reformation

If the previous three mutated corpses were just some poisonous mushrooms but still somewhat human-like, this one in front of him gradually began to break away from the category of "human beings".

Compared with the three corpses I had seen before, the changes in this corpse were not small.

Apart from the poisonous mushrooms growing on his body, he has a blue complexion and long teeth and pointed armor. No matter how you look at it, he looks like a zombie or a monster in film and television literature.

It's only been a day or two, how could this corpse change so much?

Staring at the mutated corpse in front of him, Ye Huai frowned.He always felt that this situation was somewhat familiar.

Just like the zombies in Resident Evil, they keep upgrading, and the first level is stronger than the first level.

As he was thinking wildly, the corpse tied to the beam in front of him suddenly moved.

After a while, his drooping head suddenly lifted up, revealing a pair of bright red eyes like a fly mushroom.

After seeing Ye Huai, he was very excited, and immediately bared his long teeth and wanted to pounce on him and bite him.

Seeing this, Ye Huai quickly took a few steps back. Although he moved quickly, his expression remained calm.

Unable to bite him, the corpse was very angry and began to struggle frantically.It's a pity that the rope tied to his body restricted his movements, otherwise he would have rushed over.

The movement inside the house naturally also attracted the attention of the people outside.

After routinely questioning the whole Zheng family and comforting Mr. Zheng, who was still in shock, Cheng Lin led his subordinates to the hut where the mutated corpses were held.Who would have thought that as soon as they arrived at the door, they would hear the movement inside.Worried about the safety of Ye Huai, who went to check on the corpse alone, the group immediately opened the door and entered.

I don't know if it's because the increase in popularity has stimulated the zombie, and it struggled even harder.

Seeing the strange scene in front of them, Cheng Lin and the other officials couldn't help but backed up a few steps in fright.

Seeing that the zombie in front of him was gradually going berserk, Ye Huai immediately took out a yellow talisman and stuck it on the opponent's body.Not long after, the previously irritable zombies suddenly quieted down.

Seeing that the mutated corpse in front of him didn't move, Cheng Linzhi froze, so he dared to walk forward slowly.

Without waiting for the person in front of him to ask, he said directly: "This person is the housekeeper of the Zheng residence. It is similar to the situation of the previous few people. The housekeeper was resting in the room after dinner yesterday, and was found dead in the room this morning. .”

"The Zheng family was very frightened, so they reported to Dali Temple as soon as they found the body. But we never thought that the housekeeper would change on the way we came."

As he spoke, he glanced at the corpse under Ye Huai's control in front of him again, with lingering fear in his heart.

He had seen the scene just now, compared to the three corpses that were burned by brother Fang in Dali Temple, the corpse in front of him was obviously different.Not only has his appearance changed, but his aggressiveness also seems to have become stronger.

Although I don't know how the black hand behind the scenes did all this in a short period of time, it is obvious that there is not much time left for them.

I don't know if Xu Ping and the others found the tiankeng outside the city.

Just when Cheng Lin was extremely anxious, a petty official hurried to the door and called out, "Master Cheng, Xu Huwei and the others are back."

"how?"

"The place was found."

Hearing this, the two people in the room looked at each other in blank dismay.

After a while, Ye Huai said, "Lead the way."

……

The night is as dark as ink, and through the dim moonlight, you can see the mountains in the distance, and there is a Buddhist pagoda hidden in the forest beside the cliff.

Not far away, an unfathomably deep circular hole about one foot wide lay in front of everyone.

Everything was as they had seen it on the painting.

Although they had been mentally prepared before, when everyone saw this scene with their own eyes, they couldn't help but gasped.

This... this can really be found!

Ye Huai went straight to the entrance of the cave and squatted down, shining a light on the entrance of the cave with a torch.Cheng Lin leaned aside and asked in a low voice, "How is it?"

After handing over the torch, Ye Huai stood up, "The place feels like this place, but there is something wrong."

"Not right?"

Cheng Linzhi froze, and hurriedly asked: "What's wrong?"

"Look here."

I saw Ye Huai take out the scroll and pointed to the position of the tiankeng, and saw the black and red gas floating on the screen.

As he said that, he heard him say in a deep voice: "But I don't feel any magic energy here."

Hearing this, Cheng Lin frowned: "What's going on? Could it be that someone blocked some devilish energy in that hole?"

"..."

Although I really want to complain about Cheng Lin's remarks, I have to say that his big brain hole is not completely impossible.

Seeing Ye Huai lower his head and ponder for a moment, "Is it true, you will find out if you go down and have a look." After saying that, he turned around and ordered someone to fetch the rope.

Cheng Lin:? ? ?

Go down and have a look?

Glancing at the dark night around him, he suddenly widened his eyes, now?

Realizing this, he grabbed Ye Huai's sleeve, "Brother Fang."

Ye Huai tilted his head, "What's the matter?"

Cheng Lin frowned, "It's not yet dawn, and this place is in the wilderness, we don't know how deep this hole is, and we don't know if there is any danger in it, so I'm afraid it's inappropriate for you to go on like this rashly." Right? In case of danger, how can I explain to my brothers and sisters?"

Just listen to his persuasion in a slow voice: "Now that the tiankeng has been found, we are not far behind. It's better to wait for dawn before going down."

Cheng Lin's words are not without reason.If the situation is not urgent, Ye Huai will agree without hesitation.

However, things are not what they used to be.Ever since he saw the body of the housekeeper of the Zheng residence today, he knew that the people behind the scenes had sped up their actions.

In addition, the evil energy that should have existed in the Tiankeng disappeared, and all these changes made him have to be vigilant.

I'm afraid that the other party already knew about their actions.

That being the case, if he continued to wait where he was, it would be tantamount to sitting still and missing the opportunity to make things more serious.

Thinking about it, Ye Huai said: "Brother Cheng's kindness is appreciated. It's just that the current situation is unusual, and we can't delay it any longer."

After finishing speaking, he paused, and continued: "But in a few days, more and more people died, and more and more frequently. Brother Cheng must be able to understand what is behind this, right?"

Cheng Lin was silent when he heard that.

He naturally understood what the person in front of him said.If the same thing were done in the past, he would definitely not stop it.But now that he has such a deep friendship with Fang Qionglou, and at the same time knows the situation in his family, how can he rest assured?

Brother Fang's two younger brothers and sisters had just arrived in Bianjing not long ago, and the brothers and sisters had no chance to get along for a few more days, so the other party was summoned by him to Dali Temple to help solve the conspiracy.If something went wrong with Fang's investigation, how will he face the Fang brothers and sisters in the future?

But at the same time, the seriousness of this case was beyond their imagination, and the longer it dragged on, the more variables would become.

For a while, he didn't know what to do.Yu Gong felt sorry for Brother Fang, and Yu private felt sorry for the people of Bianjing.

Just when Cheng Lin's hatchback was tangled, Ye Huai who was on the opposite side had already tied up the rope, took the things he should bring, and prepared to go down to the sinkhole.

Seeing this, Cheng Lin didn't bother to think too much, and said straightly: "Since Brother Fang insists on going down now, then I will go down with you." After saying that, he turned his head and told Guard Xu: "Prepare me a rope too. .”

When Xu Huwei heard this, he quickly agreed.

Just when Master Cheng was about to flex his muscles and follow Ye Huai into the Tiankeng with pride, he heard a sentence beside his ear——

"Brother Cheng knows neither martial arts nor alchemy, and going down will be a drag. It's better to stay on top and help Wangfeng pull the rope."

Cheng Lin:? ? ? ! ! !

This statement hurts little but is extremely insulting.Hearing this, the other officials at the scene could not help but tighten their lips, their faces tensed for fear of laughing out loud.What's more, they even turned their backs and covered their mouths and snickered.

Seeing Ye Huai move his hands and feet calmly, he turned to look at Cheng Lin who was stunned aside, "Brother Cheng, if you are worried, you can ask Guard Xu to go down with me. He is good at work, so he won't be a drag."

Cheng Lin: Co-author, is he disliked?

Facing Shangguan's face, Xu Huwei cautiously clasped his fists and said: "My lord, I would like to go down with Mr. Fang to find out."

After all, Cheng Lin is not a small-minded person, he has long been used to being teased by Ye Huai, but he is not angry because of it.After all, what the other party said was not unreasonable.In addition, now that his subordinates have already volunteered, he has no reason to stop him.

"...That's all. I'd better escort you down."

I saw him sigh, and then said with a serious expression: "But you must pay attention to safety when you go down. If you encounter danger, just shout and we will pull you out immediately."

"Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely act carefully."

……

Just like that, Ye Huai and Xu Huwei tied the rope and went down the cave under the gaze of "old father" Cheng Lin.

With the lowering of the rope, the two were farther and farther away from the entrance of the cave, and at the same time gradually moved away from the light.Looking at the ever-shrinking circles of fire above his head, Xu Huwei's heart couldn't help but tense up.

Seeing his expression, Ye Huai raised his eyebrows: "Are you scared?"

"Master Fang, isn't he afraid?"

"Scared."

"..."

Seeing the person in front of him holding a fire pocket and observing the surroundings with ease, Xu Weiwei couldn't help but slander: How does this seem to be afraid?

I don't know if it's because the person traveling with him is "Ma Darong", but Xu Huwei's heart is a little calmer than before.

He asked: "Did Master Fang see anything?"

Ye Huai turned his head and smiled, "Don't tell me, you really see something."

"what?"

"Look around carefully."

Hearing this, Xu Huwei looked around and frowned, "There's nothing here."

"Didn't you notice? The inner wall of this cave is neither soil nor natural rock."

The person in front of him froze suddenly when he heard it, and looked to the side seriously.

indeed.I was so nervous earlier that I ignored such an important clue.

After descending for a long distance, the surrounding mud walls that were originally overgrown with weeds turned into regular stone and blue bricks!And if you look closely, there are even shallow relief patterns carved on the blue bricks.

Guard Xu froze for a moment.

What is this...

Ye Huai's calm voice came from next to his ear: "Since there are obviously traces of man-made things here, it means that there must be a bigger surprise underneath."

Bigger surprise?

Xu Huwei hesitated, "Master Fang, what a surprise?"

I saw the person in front of me bent his lips towards him, and asked back: "What do you think?"
