Chapter 159 Mummy
"Wait, did you hear any strange noises?" Luas, who sensed something was wrong, spoke first.
"It is similar to the howling sound of some kind of creature, and the source of the sound seems to be behind us." Vitor took up what Luas said and turned his head to look behind.
Did you only hear the howling, not the strange metal clanking sound?
Plisson touched his ears and felt a little suspicious. The sound of metal collision just now was extremely clear. He was sure that he never heard it, but everyone except him seemed to only hear the sound of metal collision immediately after. The cry.
So, is it you or someone else who has the problem?
"Roar!"
A low roar echoed in everyone's ears, and at the same time, a cabinet against the wall in the house began to shake slightly.
"There's something wrong with that cabinet, so don't get close to it yet."
Pleasant was keenly aware of the strangeness of the cabinet. The cabinet that was originally used to store things was shaking at the moment, as if what was stored in it was not something that had long since decayed, but some kind of living thing.
As the frequency and amplitude of the cabinet's shaking continued to increase, the low roar gradually became clearer, and that sound originated from the constantly shaking cabinet.
"Ho! Roar!"
Accompanied by a sharp and ear-piercing howl, the closed cabinet door was slammed, and a mummy wearing tattered clothes emerged from the large cabinet and rushed towards Vitor, who was nearest him with bared teeth and claws.
However, before the mummy got even 2 meters away from Vitor, it was kicked hard by a pair of slender legs and flew to the wall of the house. The fierce kick was followed by several stabs containing extraordinary power.
This poor mummy was nailed to the wall by Luas's black blade within a few seconds of getting out of the cabinet. It lost the ability to move and became a "mummy" in the true sense of the word.
"Well done, Luya." Vitor praised Luyas.
"It's the second time I've seen this ghost thing, so I'm naturally a little more familiar with it." Luas twisted his hands, and the wounds he had scratched by the mummy controlled by the greedy insect in Solendre were clearly visible.
Luas looked at Mummy who was nailed to the wall by the black blade and couldn't move, and then pointed another dagger at the forehead of the mummy.
"Puli, come here and see if there are any of those bugs you're afraid of in this damn thing."
You are the one who is afraid, what I am afraid of is death!
Although he thought so in his heart, Plissen followed Luas's words and walked to the side of the mummy.
In addition to sucking nutrients from living organisms, greedy insects will also live in corpses when there is no food source. Through their own characteristics, they can inject some nutrients from the body into the dead body and bring it back to life, thus achieving the effect of controlling the corpse.
The body that has been sucked by greedy insects or is parasitic has the appearance of a mummy because all the water in the body has been sucked away, and it will not decay even after hundreds of years.
Although the living mummy in front of me is somewhat tattered, the degree of damage to the cloth on its body is much lower than that of the mummy that Plisson encountered before in Sorendler, and based on the clothing of this corpse, it can basically be distinguished. They were the original residents of Inriges.

These poor people had no peace after death. Their bodies were invaded by twisted monsters and became tools for monsters to attack and persecute other people.
Pleasant sighed lightly, and then immediately said to Luas: "Don't just stare at the eyebrows of the corpse. The bug may come out of any place on the corpse. You should first see if the thing has emerged. Prick it as soon as it comes up, very hard, this thing has a strong vitality, it’s best to prick it a few times!”
"I know, I know, I will watch. Just trust the speed of my sword and the sharpness of the black blade."
As soon as Luas finished speaking, an obvious bulge appeared on the clothes on the chest of the mummy. The black blade aimed at the center of the brow instantly pierced the bulge on the chest of the mummy at an extremely fast speed. Then, the mummy completely stopped responding. .
"Puli, this should be considered a solution... Do you need to retreat so far?"
When the mummy's clothes started to stir,
Plisson, who quickly retreated behind Vitor and Onai, said to Luas: "Just in case, you'd better stab him a few more times."
「…………」
Luas, who was speechless by Pleasant's performance, directly cut open the clothes on the chest of the mummy, completely placing the insect corpse in front of Pleasant's eyes.
"Well done, Black Blade certainly deserves its reputation." Plisson gave Luas a thumbs up.
"Have you... seen this thing before?"
Vito, who had not had direct contact with greedy insects before, was a little confused by the performance of Plisson and Luas.
"This is a corpse controlled by greedy insects. To deal with this kind of thing, we must not only deal with the ability to regain mobility, but also deal with the dangerous greedy insects in the mummy."
"Greedy insects? Are they the kind of weird insects secretly cultivated by the supernatural beings of the Greed Sect?"
"No, the greedy lowest descendant of the Seven Sins Evil God. The presence of such a thing here speaks volumes."
Vitor's expression changed slightly. According to the previous letter in the Governor's Mansion, he knew that there were active corpses in Inriges, mainly living corpses, and at certain times, they would gather for activities.
Regarding the appearance of the "undead", Vitor originally guessed that the Ghost Count was responsible. Especially after seeing the Ghost Count himself before, Vitor was even more convinced of this idea.
But at this moment, when he saw with his own eyes the greedy insects cultivated by the fallen sect that only appeared in confidential information within the military, Vitor had to put aside his past speculations and face a more terrifying reality.
If the so-called "deaths" that Inrigos is active in are all of this kind of thing, then the number of greedy insects currently existing in Inrigos has definitely reached a very terrifying number. Think about it, the number gathered together Thousands or even tens of thousands of insects, these tiny and deadly insects are much more terrifying than the immortal and fragile living corpses.
If we use the worst guess to speculate on the current situation of Inriges, assuming that Plisson's assumptions are all facts, will Inrigos, who has become greedy and earthly, have a higher level of greed than the greedy insect? Or even a greedy pseudo-insect body?
This terrifying conjecture made Vitor shudder, but the reality forced him to accept this fear.
The mummies and insects in front of them were completely dead. The harsh, low howling sound did not stop, and the weird screams reached everyone's ears from all directions.
In the noise, there is only one thing that can be judged. The sound is definitely not an individual.
Like the despicable savior
Feeling sad and happy
