Chapter 053

A group of people walked back and forth in this gloomy forest, only the rustling sound of the withered grass was heard when they walked, surrounded by dense cypress trees, and a little bit of light was given by the flourishing branches and leaves. blocked.Walking into the depths of the forest, I felt that it was getting darker and darker, and I even had the urge to feel for the flashlight.

In addition, the weather this afternoon is not good, the sky is already gloomy, looking for things in such a desolate area at this moment, in fact, everyone is a little nervous in their hearts.

A group of seven people was divided into three groups, Xiao Yao and Juya were in a group, Miori was in a group with Xiong Fei and Mrs. Q, and Eric and Roger Brown were in a group. The three groups spread out and searched around.Because the area in this area is relatively wide and the vegetation is verdant, everyone had to separate. Before the separation, they also agreed on a time and kept in touch with each other.

The group of Xiong Fei, Mei Xuli, and Mrs. Q walked in the southeast direction. The three of them buried their heads in the grass and searched. The dead branches and leaves covered the barren mountain path, and they stepped on it as if they were stepping on a soft carpet. superior.The wind driven by it when passing by diffuses the decayed fermented smell and spreads to the tip of the nose, which smells weird.

After searching for a while, Mrs. Q still couldn't find the object in the description, so she yelled helplessly: "It's a lot of age, and I still have to look for things here, it really hurts my waist."

Xiongfei and Miori turned their heads to stare at Grandma Q who was standing there rubbing her waist. Xiongfei couldn't help laughing at Grandma Q and said: "Grandma Q, do you have a waist? It's already round like this. Speaking of it, it seems to be more eye-catching than finding the entrance of the underground passage!"

These words immediately made Mei Xuli happy. She didn't expect Xiongfei to still have such a humorous mood at this time, and she also said: "Bend down to exercise, and there will be delicious and fun things in the future. You are strong and strong, you must be The first one to get it, Mrs. Q!"

"My hand is already nimble and vigorous enough," Mrs. Q laughed. "It's really exhausting to find an entrance to an underground passage in such a dark environment in winter. Bullying my eyes is not good." Make it!"

Mei Xuli said: "I think we should pay attention to the dead branches and fallen leaves under our feet, maybe they are covered by these fallen leaves." After a pause, he said, "Look, the road under our feet was originally left by the previous construction team. Yes, after not leaving for many years, it was buried by weeds, so I guess that even if the entrance is sealed, it must have been marked. As for the mark, it will definitely be covered by weeds."

Unexpectedly, as soon as Mei Xuli's voice fell, a voice came from afar, shouting: "Come here quickly, we found the entrance, hey, you guys, don't look for it, it's over here." The voice was Luo What Jebron said, just like his impetuous temper, he roared loudly, and he heard them all.

Mei Xuli spread her hands and said with a smile: "Grandma Q, they found it, let's follow."

The wilderness is quiet, and the sound of walking is particularly clear. I can only hear the footsteps and voices not far away, and I know that Xiao Yao and Shiye have arrived. Mei Xuli, Xiong Fei, and Mrs. Q are not in a hurry He walked over looking for the source of the sound.

Taking a closer look, I saw the four people standing under a towering tree and muttering. The entrance to the so-called underground passage was really hidden in the weeds as Miori said, but it had been covered by Eric and Luo. Jay Brown pulled away.

After the weeds were pulled out, the rusty cover inside was exposed, and the red rust on the cover was also old, and it was loosely stacked in layers.The cover is more than one square meter square, and there are two wrist-thick handles on it, and the surroundings are well sealed. If it weren't for the protruding handles, it would be difficult to find the cover.

After Mei Xuli, Xiong Fei, and Mrs. Q arrived, everyone agreed to lift the cover now.Originally, I wanted to let the air circulate more, and it was much more convenient when I came at night.Let's just say that this underground passage has not been opened for many years, if it is common sense, it must be opened.

After a while of discussion, several people worked together to pry the cover off.Why is it said to be prying open, because the waterproof construction of the tight joint is so good, it seems that after years of not opening, a vacuum film is formed, which is completely breathless.At the beginning, Roger Brown raised his sleeves excitedly and was about to go back and forth, but he didn't know that the cover didn't move at all, his face was blushing and he still didn't see any improvement, so he simply joined forces.

Strange to say, after the iron cover was opened, there was no mildew smell, and there was no strange smell in the air.It must have been connected to other vents.

Tired after tossing around for a long time, everyone decided to go back to the hotel and drive tonight for a detailed investigation.

After going back, they each went back to their respective rooms to rest. While it was still early, Miori lay down on the bed and fell asleep soundly. She was really tired after getting up early in the morning.In fact, the members of the whole team are almost the same, and everyone is resting.

At nine o'clock that night, after everyone was full of food and drink, they drove the RV and went all the way to visit the good places during the day.After finding a place to store the car and carrying the corresponding tools on their backs, they lined up in a small team and walked towards the shrine in the mountain.

Walking in this gloomy place at night, Miori felt goosebumps arose.Fortunately, there are many people accompanying him, so he is not so afraid.Only Mrs. Q is in a good mood, humming a little song all the way, and chatting leisurely with Xiong Fei.

When I came to the entrance, I was about to pack up and was about to climb down the ladder on the wall, but Sha Lisi appeared again.

Her sudden appearance surprised everyone, especially Toya.He stared at Sha Lisi's face without blinking, and doubts flashed across his eyes, as if he was silently asking why he came out at this time.Miori also couldn't figure out how far the relationship between Xiao Yao and him had progressed. It was tacit understanding that the two had an affair, but it was best not to ask about the details of their relationship.

"Shalis, is there something important?" Miori asked instinctively when she saw Shalis appear.That's right, there must be a big problem wherever Sharis appears.

Sha Lisi glanced over everyone, and then said: "In this tunnel, there seems to be the breath of my race. Although it is very faint and thin, I can feel it. I am afraid that there is something bad, so I appear Remind you to be careful."

Her words made Eric and Roger Brown a little excited. Now that Salis said so, the reliability and accuracy of the relationship between this place and Yuyi have increased.Just stay and take a look, check it out, and you will definitely gain something.

"Then will you go down with us?" Thinking of this, Eric asked, "We don't know what Yuyi looks like, so why don't you come down and have a look for yourself to make sure?"

Sharis didn't answer, but turned her head and told Shiye: "Tenye, you go ahead. Everyone follow behind. Since Shiya is naturally immune to the spell power of our family, even if there is something down there When the situation happens, Shiye can help everyone avoid it." Look at what he said, it's too explicit.

Everyone listened to Sha Lisi's arrangement and began to prepare to enter the underground passage.

Shiya took the lead, and Mrs. Q arranged to go last. She carried a super-high-wattage searchlight to illuminate the entrance, and then everyone followed one after another.Seeing Toya's figure disappearing into the darkness first, Miori couldn't help gasping.Immediately, there was the sound of 'step, step, step' made by everyone's shoes stepping on the steel pipe ladder.

The humidity in the underground passage, which has not been opened all year round, is heavy and stuffy, as if the air breathed into the lungs will stick the alveoli.This is how Miori felt at the entrance of the underground passage at the moment. When her feet landed on the ground, her keen sixth sense seemed to be able to feel the damp air coming up from the ground and crawling up her trouser legs.

Contrary to Miori's uneasy mood at the moment, Roger Brown has no idea where he came from, and started to be a speaker again: "I forgot to tell you one thing. This place was not authentic before, but the dilapidated The shrine was buried here. Originally, the construction team surrounded it, but after that incident, the government ordered it to be buried here. Therefore, it is very likely that this is the site of the shrine half a century ago.”

"Stop talking, I'm getting goosebumps." Mrs. Q muttered.

"Let's go, walk inside." Roger Brown originally wanted to walk in front, but Sha Lisi knocked him back silently with a look, and he had to obediently follow behind Toya.

Five or six strong flashlights were turned on at once, illuminating the entire dark underground passage.I don't know where Roger Brown got the news, but the preparation is amazing.Indeed, as he said, after walking less than a dozen steps, they saw a dilapidated gatehouse. Such old things are really rare nowadays.Next to the pillars of the gate, there are still stones for sacrifices, and water drops can still be faintly seen on the stones.

"Look, I'm right, this rumor is really true." Roger Brown said complacently.

As soon as he finished speaking, a black shadow suddenly flashed in front of him, and everyone hurriedly huddled together in horror.The shadow just now is definitely not dazzled, and now it is late at night, it is even more taboo to say those words.

But Shalis was the only one standing by, frowning and thinking hard while staring at the place where the shadow disappeared.

Xiong Fei firmly grasped Mei Xuli's hand, his palms were sweaty from nervousness, Mei Xuli couldn't help but turned his head to look at him several times, seeing that his expression was focused and dignified, he didn't dare to say anything .

Just when everyone was about to relax their vigilance, Sha Lisi suddenly shouted: "Come out, we've been looking for you for a long time. Don't be afraid, we won't hurt you." Her voice echoed in the empty tunnel , the more it shows the quietness and darkness here.I said it several times in a row, but there was no response.

Just when Eric couldn't hold back and wanted to go forward, suddenly another black shadow flashed past.This time everyone saw clearly, the so-called black shadow.

It seems that there is also a long, tail-like thing dragging? !

Miori couldn't help rubbing her eyes, thinking she was dazzled.Xiongfei turned his head and said: "My eyes are not blurry, I seem to see it too." He didn't say clearly what he saw, but Miori guessed that he should have seen the shadow dragging its tail.

At this time, Sha Lisi said again: "What's the use of hiding, what are you afraid of?" While speaking, taking herself as the origin, the surroundings began to faintly appear large and small celestial curse wheels, like Petals floating in mid-air.She said again, "You should know this totem and be familiar with it. Now that you've seen it, come out."

The luster emitted by the mantra wheels floating in the void illuminated the dark environment, and that kind of peaceful light immediately dissipated everyone's sense of fear.

As soon as Shalis finished speaking, there was a sound from a corner not far away.Hearing it carefully, it sounded like footsteps. Before everyone could discern them carefully, a figure slowly appeared from the shadow of the archway.

When everyone saw this figure, they were stunned and couldn't help but let out a low voice.This is not a monster, it is clearly the heroine of the sci-fi blockbuster "Alien".The whole body is black, the skin is covered with scales, and it emits a dim light under the illumination of the flashlight. The whole head presents a weird oval shape, with protruding eyes, torn lips, and even more mutated limbs. Scary.There is a fluffy tail dragging behind it, the upper limbs are like ape-like arms, and the lower limbs are like two thighs after the flesh has been peeled off.Seeing this, everyone was horrified, and couldn't help but backed away again and again, and couldn't help shaking their hands and feet for a while.

It stood there without moving, and tears welled up from those protruding eyes like goldfish eyes.

Sha Lisi sighed, "It turns out that you put on the feather robe of the Heavenly Lady Tango, so she couldn't go back to the sky. Once you put it on, even if you can take it off, it's useless. No wonder, no wonder." Sha Liz lamented again and again, as if she felt sorry for the family member who died here, and also seemed to be feeling sorry for her own fate.

Tango's goddess, how sad and helpless she must have been at the beginning, watching her life go by, but helpless.Thinking back to the batch of celestial maidens who came to the mortal world back then, how many of them managed to leave here and return to their hometown?How many innocent lives have been lost in order to extend life after trekking thousands of light-years away? !

When the monster heard Sha Lisi's words, it whimpered immediately, and the crying sound became more miserable and gloomy in the dark environment.

At this time, Roger Brown on the side seemed to recall something, and muttered in a low voice: "There was a record in the county records here, saying that this underground shrine was originally used to seal the person who offended and offended the goddess thousands of years ago." It was built. From this point of view, I’m afraid it’s the person in front of me.”

Eric also took the words and said: "Because he was wearing a feather robe, he has been alienated and turned into an immortal monster?!"

Miori listened to the conversation between the two of them, and also remembered what Sharis had said to her and the little demon about the tree of life and the mutations that occurred during the evolution of the race.When he glanced at the mutated person in front of him, he felt a lot of pity in his heart.It's like this, you can't live or die, you can only live in such a dark environment without seeing the sun, how painful it is.

The monster was only crying, and when it saw the spell wheels that appeared around it, it couldn't hold back its emotions. Suddenly, under the watchful eyes of everyone, it knelt down towards Sha Lisi, whimpering and saying something , everyone can't hear clearly.

Its behavior stunned everyone, who didn't know what it was going to do.

Shalis looked at the monster kneeling on the ground, and said softly: "I know, once a mortal puts on a feather coat, it is very difficult for a mortal to take it off. I know you don't want to be seen like this, and you also want to get rid of it." Liberated from such pain, I will save you now, and prevent you from suffering this kind of suffering."

Hearing that, the monster wept loudly with joy, and knelt down to Sha Lisi vigorously.Its pious behavior made Miori feel very sad.

As soon as Sharis finished speaking, a large totem of the celestial mantra appeared at the place where the monster was kneeling, which happened to make the monster kneel in the center.A faint fragrance also began to appear out of thin air in the void, and petals appeared faintly.Xiongfei nervously pulled Mei Xuli and whispered in her ear: "Is she going to kill that monster?!"

Miori was not very clear either, but she could feel that there was no trace of murderous intent in the surrounding air, but rather an invisible aura that made people feel comforted and peaceful from the bottom of their hearts.Xiongfei also seemed to be aware of it, and he was relieved, what was in front of him was not what he had seen before, and the moment he appeared, he was full of murderous aura.

While watching in a daze, he suddenly saw a strange color coming from the endlessly spinning spell wheel, just like the dreamy color in a fairyland, the gorgeous brilliance flowed, and began to cover the monster's body.Immediately, what appeared in front of everyone was a girl whose age was estimated to be fifteen or sixteen years old. She closed her eyes tightly and had a happy smile on her face.However, such a picture is only a blink of an eye, and it is completely gone.

In the empty underground passage, silence was restored.After witnessing this moment, the ancient archway also slowly fell down, and those sacrificial stones seemed to be completely shattered into a pile of rubble after the girl's resentment disappeared.In the dark environment, rumors and stories that have lasted for thousands of years will be completely dusted from now on.

When everyone came back to their senses, the tunnel fell into silence again.

After looking at the place where the monster disappeared, Sharis let out a long sigh, then gave control of her body to the little demon, and disappeared without saying a word.

"What's going on? Why am I here? What did Sha Lisi do just now?" After waking up, the little demon began to shout after looking at the surrounding environment, "Aren't you looking for Yuyi? Are you all standing in a pile in a daze?"

Everyone was still immersed in the fantasy scene just now, but after she interrupted them, everyone woke up.

Seeing that the little demon was quite excited, Shiya stepped forward and explained: "Yuyi and that girl disappeared together."

The little demon asked anxiously: "What? Disappeared? Then what about me and Miori?"

"Little demon, that girl put on a feather coat and turned into a monster. Sharis also said that once a mortal puts on a feather coat, it is difficult to take it off. Even if she takes it off, it is not a complete feather coat. So Sharis helped the alienated girl and Yuyi to solve it together." Miori further explained.

"Is it dead?" The little demon's face suddenly became depressed, and suddenly his expression changed, and he asked hurriedly, "Is there anything left behind? Didn't Eric say last time that as long as a little fragment is needed, it can be reproduced with biotechnology." Yes!"

When everyone heard this, they immediately supported their foreheads and sighed, there was really nothing left.

This time, they returned completely empty-handed. A group of people struggled to get out of the tunnel, put the cover back on, and prepared to go to a nearby hotel to rest and return to Tokyo tomorrow morning.

This trip is empty for Miori and Xiaoyao, but Eric and Roger Brown have gained a lot, at least they have learned more about Yuyi.

At this time, the two were reporting what they had seen and heard that day in the hotel room, especially the one that confirmed the rumor that ordinary people would turn into monsters once they put on a feather coat.The doubts in the minds of the ministers of Yujing who received the call became clearer, and his guesses gained direction.The escape of the ancestor and the investigation of the personnel these days wasted a lot of energy, and the news of this kind of news also made him feel better.

After returning to Tokyo, Miori didn't go to Yujing Mansion, but returned directly to Wu's house.Returning empty-handed this time caused her to be hit again. Although she didn't say it out loud, she still felt uncomfortable in her heart.Eric didn't say much here, and before leaving, he said that if there was any good news in the institute, he would definitely notify her as soon as possible.

Similarly, when Miori and Xiaoyao arrived in Tokyo, the courtiers also called to inform them about the ancestor's escape, hoping that Miori and the others would be more careful.At present, they are also patrolling around, trying to find traces of the ancestors.Thinking of the hatred in the eyes of the ancestor, Miori's heart shuddered.

After resting at Wu's house for two or three days, Eric suddenly called again. The content of the conversation was very bad, not about Yu Yi's problem, but about Urakawa.

Miori noticed just now that when she was concentrating on finding Yuromo to prolong her life, the situation on Urakawa's side couldn't help but went in the worst direction.Eric's tone on the phone was quite heavy, and Miori felt uneasy. In fact, Urakawa's situation was more or less caused by her.After contemplating for a long time, she called Eric back and decided to go to the research institute of Yujing Building to see Urakawa.

She originally planned to go alone, but Xiong Fei was worried about life and death this time.Because during the trip, he overheard the conversation between Eric and Roger Brown. After learning the motive of the ancestor's murder last time, he wanted to go with Miori no matter what.Unable to resist his request, Mrs. Q drove the two of them to Yujing Mansion.As for Xiao Yao, now she has the bodyguard Toya specially arranged by the courtiers, so she is quite safe, not to mention that the ancestor is still looking for her everywhere, she'd better stay at Wu's house and don't make any comparisons. good.

After coming to the research institute and following Eric to the experiment where Urakawa was, Miori couldn't believe that the girl lying on the bed with a rosy complexion and an extremely healthy appearance was about to die for a few days.In Eric's words, her body functions are slowly weakening and slowing down, but the strange thing is that her appearance has not changed, and all her organs are in good condition.For example, it's like a machine has no energy and can only stop working.

Seeing Miori, Urakawa, who was lying on the bed, opened his eyes with difficulty, and smiled at her, "You came to see me, I think I won't live long, thank you for saving me." Her voice It is extremely subtle, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as the sound of a mosquito. "Actually, I should have died at that time. It's really amazing that you and the little demon saved me with all your strength. That strange force is devouring my body. They tried to hide me, but I couldn't knew."

The words of comfort that Miori had prepared on the way here were all stuck in her throat at this moment, unable to speak.

Urakawa smiled very relieved, "I was a child who didn't pay attention to me when I was a child, and I have always been neglected like that since I was a child. But now I'm fine, and I'm finally going to be relieved." After taking a breath, she said again, "You are looking for Yuyi. I heard that it is the hope of living. I can't wait any longer. You must work hard to find Yuyi." After she finished speaking, she seemed to be tired and fell asleep.

Miori looked at Urakawa who was sleeping peacefully, and left the room under Eric's prompt.

After he came out, he asked Eric about Hagoromo's progress, Eric hesitated, and Miori knew that he must have something to say, but it was just inconvenient right now.
