Paranoid Beauty reigns supreme at Infinite Game

basement

All the way up from the garrison at the foot of the mountain, the feeling of oppression is getting stronger and stronger, and the difficulty in breathing is a trivial matter.

The endless hallucinations floating in front of their eyes, which seemed real or fake, interfered with their sanity. Despite the talisman paper provided by Zhu Changan, everyone's sanity value was still declining at a slow speed.

After entering the mountain, the dense and tall trees cover the sky and the sun, and the already dark light is completely lost among the intricate branches and leaves.

Even the signal of the mobile phone is lost in some claustrophobic corner, turning into an iron plate that can only watch the time.

Fortunately, Zhu Changan is very familiar with this place, and can find the way even with his eyes closed.

The thin whip wrapped around Zhu Changan's waist is still continuously absorbing unknown streamers from all directions, and the surface changes from dull and pure black to shiny, as if it is going to be covered with dangerous shadows like the mysterious and unknown things in this mountain. breath.

"Hold this talisman paper, step back one meter, and squat down."

Clutching the talisman paper newly given by Zhu Chang'an in their hands, the four obediently stepped back a meter and squatted against a thick tree.

On the way, they heard the gloomy roar of mountains and tsunami, and the hazy figures overlapped densely, surrounded by translucent bodies, revealing pairs of scarlet eyes staring at them.

It is impossible to distinguish between illusory reality, but the danger is visible to the naked eye.

These transparent floating objects with teeth and claws all wanted to bypass Zhu Chang'an and attack Zong Xiao and others who seemed to be easier to deal with.

But they rushed up one after another, and they were either beaten to death by Zhu Changan's whip, or they seemed to hit a wall of air when they approached the four of them, and were scattered by the golden light emitted by the talisman paper.

The screams of the coquettish and madman were endless, and it sounded creepy, without the slightest pleasure and relaxation to solve the enemy's attack crisis, but when it fell into the ears, it seemed like the wind mixed with sharp needles was blowing into the heart, causing pain.

Zong Xiao forced himself to open his eyes in the strong wind, and his eyes passed through the mountains that made his sanity drop faster and stayed on Zhu Chang'an.

The figure with a graceful figure like a pine and cypress fluttered like a mortal, and he stood indifferently in the gust of wind, and the full sense of security instantly soothed Zong Xiao's inner worries and tensions.

In this special dungeon, his ability might not be of much help to Chang An, all he can do is to listen to Chang An's words and not cause him any trouble.

Zhu Chang'an held a long whip in one hand, raised his hand and waved it. The crisp sound of waving the whip was particularly loud in the gloomy environment.

Ordinary weapons can't hurt these intangible things, but Zhu Chang'an's whip can hit the ghosts around him without any mistakes.

Every time the whip is swung, the swirling airflow condenses together, stretching and tearing the translucent soul, turning it into countless tiny fragments and pouring into the whip in his hand.

"Walk."

About three or four minutes later, the people squatting under the tree heard Zhu Changan's voice, and found that the surroundings had returned to calm at some point, as if nothing had happened.

It's just that they saw the thick circle of fallen leaves around Zhu Changan's feet, the cracks in the ground on the left and right, and the bare branches on the tree, so they knew how fierce the battle was just now.

After the battle with the invisible enemy was over, it unexpectedly went much smoother. Under the guidance of Zhu Chang'an who was familiar with the road, they saw the hut on the mountainside in a few minutes.

It is not small in fact, although it is a bungalow, but the area is enough to accommodate the daily life of two or three people.

Before approaching the mountain house, Zhu Changan hit the two folded talisman papers against the wall with a flick of his fingers, and after the collision, they fell into the grass that was already half a person tall.

Zhu Chang'an used broken air to draw a formation on the uneven ground under his feet. The black whip was placed in the eye of the formation, and five blank yellow talismans were pasted around it.

He didn't draw the runes, but squeezed the wound on his index finger, dripped blood on the five blank yellow runes, let them overflow on the paper, and stepped over them.

The mountain house is a bit old. Although it is built with stones, it is covered with moss that no one cares about.

In the background of the dark green forest and sea, it still looks lonely and depressed, and this kind of depressed mood of isolation from the world hits the face.

The lock on the door is full of rust, no need to smash it, it will fall off when you pull it hard. The wooden door is corroded by insects and ants, and it is extremely fragile. As soon as the palm of your hand touches it, the door will fall backwards with a snap, kissing the hard stone ground and then shattering. Crack into several pieces.

Dust squeezed out of the door like moths to a flame, and was dispersed by Ji Yunhu with a wave.

After the dust settled, they looked up and were unprepared to be startled by the sight before them.

An unrecognizable man was nailed to the opposite wall, with nails as thick as half a fist driven into his wrists and ankles.

Because of time, the blood stains on it have long been integrated with the rust, turning into something stronger than stone.

The man has no hair, and there are dense blood holes on the cover of the sky. It seems that something has been poured into it, so that it is so full that it overflows from the hole and piles up on the ground.

When I got closer, I found that it was the old shells and some feces left by the insects after they had molted their skins.

Zhu Changan stopped at the spot and looked at the man's body carefully, looking at the nests of large and small carrion worms in the abdomen that had been eaten to the bone. For the first time, he did not show disgust because of his cleanliness.

Instead, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and his gloomy expression since entering the dungeon finally eased.

The four of them even found a touch of joy on Zhu Changan's face that didn't fit the current situation.

"Chang'an, do you know this person?"

Zong Xiao had a bad premonition in his heart, and he vaguely understood something. Looking at Zhu Changan's seemingly comfortable expression, he asked tentatively, but got an affirmative answer.

"Of course. Not only do you know each other, but you are also very familiar."

Zhu Changan stared at the man's body for a long time, then turned sideways and walked to a corner of the room, chopping his foot on the ground twice.

The seemingly tight-fitting floor suddenly collapsed, revealing a stone staircase deep underground, the end of which was hidden in the darkness.

"Is there any authenticity here?"

Seeing the dusty stairs that could be used as a quilt, everyone was surprised and believed that Zhu Changan was really familiar with this place.

Zhu Chang'an was the first to go down the stone steps and illuminated with a flashlight.

After a long walk, they saw a broken iron gate at the end.

Behind the iron gate is a room, which seems to be larger than the stone house on the ground, and is made of cement inside and out.

Although dilapidated and decayed, there are many furnishings here, and it seems that someone has lived here.

The ground is full of ashes and scraps of paper, and the large and small bookshelves next to it are many furniture in the room, but there is no book on them.It seemed that they were all burned and turned into ashes all over the floor.

Lu Bai noticed that there seemed to be something covered under the ashes, he pawed a few times with his feet, and found a destroyed formation map.

"This looks a bit familiar..."

Lu Bai thought for a while, and found that this formation was exactly the same as the formation that Zhu Chang'an had just drawn outside the house.

He turned his head to look at Zhu Changan, but Zhu Changan didn't seem to hear it, and looked straight at the place where the beam of the flashlight in his hand was shining.

Looking in this direction, they saw a pile of half-finger-thick rusty iron chains in the corner. The tail end was fixed to the wall, and the head chain was broken into two pieces.

Beside the pile of iron chains, there is a dinner plate twisted into a C shape.

Zhu Changan's eyes were dim. In the dark space tens of meters deep underground, a strong wind suddenly blew up and messed up the ends of his hair.

Everyone was startled by this turn of events, thinking that an enemy had come in, they immediately guarded their surroundings, and then realized that the wind seemed to be blowing from Zhu Chang'an's direction.

"Chang'an?"

Zong Xiao's voice was like a stone falling on the lake, and the ripples caused actually calmed Zhu Chang'an's turbulent heart.

His eyes cooled down quickly, and after a few deep breaths, his eyes returned to the calmness just now.

"here is?"

After seeing Zhu Changan's emotional stability, Lu Bai intuitively felt that this place was very special to Zhu Changan, as can be seen from Zhu Changan's reaction when he saw the corpse just now.He was deeply impressed here, it was engraved in his bones, but it was not a good memory.

"The place circled by this chain is the cage where I lived for five years."

He was mentally prepared when he came, so he didn't lose his composure when he saw He Shen's body just now, but he still couldn't control his emotions when he saw this corner where he had lived like a livestock for five years.

"What did you say……"

Zong Xiao's pupils constricted, and he stared at the cramped corner, the dirty environment, the harsh chain aphasia, and it took him a long time to squeeze out a sentence from his teeth in astonishment.

"My mother suffered from cancer when I was very young. We made a living from the circus and went to various places to perform and treat the disease. We moved to Fengzhou five years ago for treatment.

But my mother died in the end, and my father couldn't accept it, so he chose to die in love.Our family owed a large amount of money for medical treatment. After my parents passed away, I dropped out of school to work to pay back the money.But I was knocked out and brought here one night, and I was locked in this basement until I died. "

The oppressive atmosphere was more clogged than frozen air, and everyone quietly listened to Zhu Chang'an's reminiscence of the dark past with no light in sight.

"The corpse just now belonged to that person. His name is He Shen. He is an old Taoist priest who walks the evil path. He exorcises evil spirits and ghosts in the righteous way. He refines ghosts and makes ghosts work for him, which becomes the nutrient for his growth."

"According to what he said, I was born at the time of the most yin, and my body is pure yin, which is the best bait. Use me as the eye of the formation to let bloodletting, attracting ghosts."

"In order to prolong the service life of my bait, so as not to die too early, he will teach me some simple Taoism, and I will secretly learn the scripture Taoism on the bookshelf when he is away, so I learned How to refine and manipulate a ghost."

"At that time, my only goal was to kill He Shen for revenge. For this reason, I arranged everything and hibernated for a long time. Finally, I waited for an opportunity. I didn't expect the sky to fail, and it was still a little bit close. I couldn't die before I died. Take the life of this thing."

Zhu Changan walked to the pile of chains, looked at the marks of being broken, and whispered softly: "He is luckier than me, at least he got out of here alive."

"If I had been so lucky back then, maybe I would have become the tyrant that anti-God people say."
