Otherworld travel

Chapter 4

The calamus in front of me seems to be different.In Shanglu's impression, Calamus has always been a cheerful little fat man, because his family is rich and has no worries, so he looks generous and fat.

But the one in front of him now has a more mature and deeper temperament, different from that heartless little fat man.

Shanglu was secretly vigilant, and kept his distance from Calamus calmly, in case he could do something behind his back.After all, Shanglu knew that these students had problems all the time. If he made an attack now and attracted the attention of monsters, Shanglu would be attacked by two sides at that time, it would not be good.

Calamus noticed Phytolaca's small movements, and said directly, "If you have any questions, you can ask me now."

"Ah, Calamus, what are you talking about, I have nothing to ask."

Shang Lu showed a very puzzled expression on his face, he was afraid that Calamus had already found out that something was wrong with him, and he was also afraid that he was cheating him, and would kill him if he behaved wrong.

"Don't be stupid, I know you're not from here, otherwise why do you think other students would regard him as one of them."

Shanglu looked at Changpu seriously, "You did it."

"Yes, yesterday, you suddenly appeared in the seat next to me. You know, I have been sitting alone all the time, and I have no deskmate."

"Why didn't you say it directly, and helped me hide my identity."

"Because I feel that you are very important and can help us a lot, so I blur the memory of other people and let you act with us."

Hearing what Calamus said, a big question mark appeared in Shang Lu's heart.

Why did he feel that those students were stronger than him, able to confront monsters head-on, he didn't dare.

But there is no time to think about it now, the top priority is to deal with those monsters.Shanglu quickly asked: "What are those monsters?"

"As you heard during the day, this fishing village used to mainly hunt and kill dugongs. The number of hunted and killed, coupled with the location of the village itself, the resentment of those dead dugongs gathered together to form an evil thing."

"That evil thing can amplify the desires in people's hearts and lure people to make wishes to him. But the wish is false, and it must first swallow people's souls through contact to be true."

"And the body of the person who has lost his soul slowly mutates towards the fish and is controlled by it to collect more souls."

"Because it has absorbed human souls, it knows about mermaids. If you want to turn into a mermaid with enough soul power, then it will be even more troublesome to solve it."

Calamus' words answered some doubts in Shang Lu's mind, but added more doubts.

"Since it is so powerful, what can I do?"

"You come from the yang side, and the yang energy in your body naturally restrains evil things, and it depends on you to eliminate them."

What is Yang Nian? Before Shanglu could ask the question in his heart, Calamus continued,

"We must first find the body of the soul that was first devoured by the evil. The soul that was swallowed first is already considered its origin. If that body is destroyed, the evil will not be feared."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Shanglu, and then said: "I know what you want to ask, and I will tell you in detail when everything is over."

Now that the conversation has reached this point, Shang Lu stopped asking more questions and said instead,

"Then do you have any clues about that body?"

"It's a short and fat girl, and the evil thing should know her importance. It is impossible for her to be among the monsters that are active outside now. She must have found a place to hide."

Calamus looked at Shanglu helplessly, "We have been to the fishing village many times, but we have not found her."

Too little information, no clue at all.Shanglu can only change the question,

"Where is that evil thing now, do you know?"

"You know, it's near the sandy place we went to in the afternoon. It was originally a stone sculpture, and it was placed in a special place to gather resentment. But if you don't destroy the original body first, even if you find it, you can't do anything about it."

Shanglu thought for a while, and said to Calamus: "Let's split up, you take people to surround the stone sculpture, and I will go find the original body."

After speaking, he looked out of the window and opened the door without seeing the monster.

Shang Lu also had his own ideas when he proposed to act separately, and he came to find an opportunity to try the effect of Yang Qi on his body that Calamus said.See if this yang qi is the same as the yang qi in the movies and TV dramas he watched before.

Secondly, Phytolaca still doesn't trust Calamus and the others.After all, the previous words are just his one-sided words, and it is not certain whether they are true or not.

Furthermore, Calamus did not explain their problems to Shanglu, which also made Shanglu unable to fully trust Calamus.

Along the way, Shanglu thought about what Calamus said, since the original body is so important, the stone statue should not let her be too far away from him, probably near the sandy land.

But Calamus and the others should have thought of this, but they searched for it many times but couldn't find it. There must be something they didn't notice.

Near the sandy land, the number of monsters suddenly increased. Judging from the strict defense, we knew that this place was very important.

Although it was moving in one direction, Calamus went to call up the manpower, but he hasn't come here yet, which is also in line with Shanglu's wishes.

If he really acted with them, he still felt a little worried.

Thinking of Calamus saying that the stone is a combination of resentment from dead dugongs, and these monsters mutate in the direction of and, they should be similar to dugongs.

For example, the movement is slow, which has been verified by the monster's actions last night.

Another point of dugongs is their keen hearing.Because of this, Shang Lu was very careful when approaching the monster, and picked up a stick beside him.

Calamus said that these monsters actually have no thoughts, and they can only act under the control of stone statues.The stone statues can only see the surrounding things through their eyes.

Looking at these monsters orderly divided into several teams to patrol around the sandy ground, it should be the knowledge absorbed by the stone statue after devouring the soul.

Evil creatures with wisdom should be dealt with more carefully.

While thinking about it, Phytophthora followed the cover of the trees to observe the monster's actions.

There are many monsters gathered around the stone statue mentioned by Calamus, but according to the observation of Phytophthora, there are more monsters gathered in the woods some distance away from the stone statue.

The original body should be in it.However, with the cover of trees, it is difficult to distinguish these monsters.Moreover, these monsters act in the same way, and there is no one that is special.

Furthermore, they are all gathered together, and if one is disturbed, it is likely to attract the attention of all monsters.Perhaps this is the reason why Calamus and the others could not accurately find the original body.

It was so far away that it was impossible to observe which one it was.

Shanglu could only move forward cautiously, and only when he was close could he recognize it.

The stone statue hides the original body in the woods, perhaps to make it difficult for people to observe with the help of trees.

But it forgot, or maybe because it has always existed as a dugong, it has never noticed that dugongs have poor eyesight.

Trees block the peeping of outsiders, but they also help people hide with the help of trees.

Although the monsters have keen hearing, as long as they move lightly, under the cover of trees, there is still a chance to get close to them without disturbing them.

While the monsters were walking in another direction, the pokemons moved forward slowly, and when they turned their heads back, they hurried behind the trees.

In this way, with the cover of the trees and the dark sky, Pokemon approached the monster step by step.

When they got closer, Shang Lu realized that these monsters were all female in appearance, and most of them were short and fat, and there was no difference at all.

It is estimated that Calamus and the others may have reached this point, but because they really couldn't find it, they gave up.

But let Shang Lu look at it from here, he can't tell the difference, it is impossible to get in front of the monsters to distinguish their looks one by one.

At that time, if you are surrounded by monsters, you will die.

We must first find out which is the original body, and kill it decisively.Once the wrong target is found, it will be difficult to start after the stone statue reacts.At that time, when the stone statue is transferred to another place, it will fall short.

Just when Shanglu was secretly anxious, on the other side, Calamus had already led the students to surround the stone statue.

But when they came around, there was a lot of noise, and the stone statue discovered it.

In order to prevent the stone statue from running away, Calamus and the others could only strike first, attacking first, trapping the stone statue in the encirclement, and not giving it a chance to escape.

When Calamus and the others took advantage of their numbers and surrounded the stone statue, making it temporarily unable to escape, the monsters on the forest side also moved.

It is possible that they received instructions from the stone statues, and they headed in the opposite direction, going deep into the forest.

The stone statue made a good plan, as long as the original body is not destroyed, even if it is found, it cannot be destroyed.

This made Shang Lu very anxious, he hadn't decided which one was the original body, what should they do now that they were going to run away.

There was no other way, Shang Lu had no choice but to follow carefully and walked deep into the forest.

When following the monster, Shang Lu remembered the words of Calamus in his mind,

"The girl whose soul was devoured at the beginning was Fuling, a third-year student in our school. Because she was short and fat, and her face was covered with pimples, she was often excluded by people in the class. Maybe it was because of this that she was born. You will be tempted by the stone statue."

Thinking of this, Shang Lu suddenly paused.He thought, maybe he and Calamus both thought about something wrong.

The stone statue lures others to make wishes to it, promising that their wishes will come true. It may not be a lie, but it does not tell the wishing people that the price of wish fulfillment is their souls.

Before devouring the girl's soul, the stone statue may indeed have granted her wish.

So, what is the wish of a girl who is bullied at school because of her appearance?

Shanglu watched the monsters in front of him silently for a while, and followed them quietly.

Perhaps, he already knew which was the original body of the stone statue.

The author has something to say:

I feel like I'm going to finish writing soon, maybe it's too short.This article is inspired by a dream I had. Because the dream is very short, the story is not long, and I feel that it will be over in a few chapters.
