Snap, snap, snap.
As all the substances in her body disappeared, Xie Xiaona was shattered as soon as she turned into a mummy. She, who had barely retained a haggard corpse earlier, was unable to support herself due to the brittleness of her bones, just like a sculpture made of sand. It collapsed instantly when the wind blew, and then completely turned into a pile of white powder that looked like ashes! ! !
Xie Xiaona died. She died tragically and inexplicably on the spot during the kiss of the purple-haired female. She was easily taken away by the female with a kiss of death, and finally turned into a pile of white ashes without even a body left!
At this moment, looking at the ground below her body, looking at the pile of nutritious debris, the purple-haired female worm returned to her original expression, and her face was expressionless again, but...
If you observe carefully and observe the female locust at this moment, you can actually still find changes, two obvious changes.
After absorbing the human beings in front of me, I saw that the originally pale-skinned female locust was now blood-colored, and the white skin was somewhat relieved. Although it was still not to the level of a human being, at least it was no longer frighteningly pale, at least it was barely close to it. Human skin color, not only that, as the absorption ends, except that the skin of the body is no longer pure white, a less obvious lavender mist also appears out of thin air around the female locust.
Next…
As if she was not satisfied with the above changes, after looking down at her more beautiful self, the purple-haired woman slowly shook her head, and at the same time raised her arm and slowly pressed it down. As her arm was pressed down, a strange scene happened again. On the opposite side, all the time The blazing red fire wall suddenly went out. In addition to the fire wall extinguishing and disappearing, the electric current covering the corridor also disappeared almost at the same time. As for the purple-haired female...
"Abel, thousands of years of hell torture have not changed me. I am still the same me. My love for you will not change. I want to find you, no matter what means I use, I will find you!"
She was mumbling to herself, declaring some kind of oath in an unquestionable tone. After saying this, the female wolf made a move. She opened her arms, raised her head while making unknown movements, and spoke again in her mouth. He muttered to himself a string of strange spells that were difficult to hear because his voice was too low. At the same time, as the spells echoed and undulated, the next moment, the dim purple light surrounding the female frog began to increase in intensity, and it was astonishingly like a fully charged power. A dazzling light suddenly released like a lightbulb. Because the light was too bright, it was so bright that it was blinding. For a moment, the corridor was filled with purple light, and the female hawk disappeared in a halo comparable to the sun.
The strong light came and went as quickly as it came. After about 10 seconds, the strong light disappeared. It stands to reason that the female hawk would reappear after the strong light disappeared. However, as the strong strong light completely disappeared, if you turn your eyes and look at the corridor again , looking at the position where the female locust was earlier, only to see that the purple-haired female locust disappeared, replaced by another person, an oriental woman with black hair. This person was not someone else, it was the one who was supposed to turn into powder. …
Xie Xiaona! .
At this moment, the reborn Xie Xiaona stood expressionless, her whole body exuding a cold aura. However, surprisingly quickly, less than 5 seconds passed. Suddenly, Xie Xiaona's expression changed. She was no longer as expressionless as before. It turned into a face full of panic, and the cold aura disappeared in an instant. At this point, Xie Xiaona turned into a timid woman again, and became the timid female Internet celebrity again. Xu Shitai Overly afraid of the darkness around her, feeling the darkness enveloped her, Xie Xiaona's body trembled, and she immediately ran away in panic. First she ran out of the corridor, and then she ran straight to the hall, rushing to the connecting staircase that leads to the third floor of the castle!
While running, Xie Xiaona's face was full of panic. She ran towards the stairs and shouted in a panic: "Captain, help me, help me!"
……………
The first day of the supernatural mission, at 18:15 at night, on the 3rd floor of Chris Castle.
Everyone gathered in the luxurious room, and three candles stood on the table and burned slowly. With the help of the candlelight, you could see He Fei standing in front of the wall, opposite Cheng Ying, Chen Xiaoyao, Zhao Ping, Li Tianheng, Chen Shuihong, Tang Meng and others. Jiang Dafeng, Qiao Mengting, and Kong Ling have already been held in Peng Hu's arms. It can be said that except for Xie Xiaona, all the executors are gathered here.
"The mummy has been absorbed by the magic circle? Are you sure?" In front of the wall, he first glanced at the astonished people, and then glanced at the unconscious Kong Ling with complex eyes. He pondered for a while, and He Fei opened his eyes slightly, and looked at Then he looked at Zhao Ping.
Yes, as mentioned above, through the spiritual link, He Fei successfully summoned everyone except Xie Xiaona. On the surface, this move seems dangerous. After all, it is not appropriate for the team to gather in a dangerous castle with the presence of worms. , it is also not appropriate to place orders individually. The safest way is to divide the team into groups, and then spread out in groups of several people. He Fei uses the spiritual link to coordinate the center. This is what everyone did at the beginning. , but when the time came to night, He Fei somewhat abnormally called everyone back together, and that was all. Unexpectedly, the gathering place was still the third floor of the castle with a small space, and the location was the room with both red formation and There was a weird room with weird oil paintings. To be honest, if they didn't trust He Fei very much, no one would have come. The result was certain. After passing the stairs and running all the way to the room, Peng Hu stared at He Fei and asked for the reason. It was a pity that the bald man did not receive a direct response. The reason why he was described in this way was because He Fei had already explained the reason for the call in disguise through subsequent conversations.
As soon as the crowd gathered, He Fei was the first to look at Zhao Ping, and Zhao Ping, as if he had guessed what He Fei was thinking, spoke without any nonsense, telling the truth about his experiences and what he had seen and heard since the team dispersed. With Zhao Ping taking the lead, others understood and then recounted their earlier experiences one by one. Obviously, as things progressed to this point, He Fei's intention gradually became clear, which was to collect clues, gather information, and combine what everyone saw and heard during the separation. The purpose of communication is self-evident. After all, everyone knows that if you want to find a way out of a mission, collecting clues is always the top priority. Without enough clues, no matter how smart you are, you will not be able to find a way out of thin air. So, why? Fei did indeed do this. As everyone told the story one after another, He Fei soon obtained a large number of clues. However, because there were too many information clues, He Fei could only filter and streamline, and some of the low-value ones were eliminated. After receiving the information, he finally locked the following important information. .
First, regarding the mummy nymph itself, it can be affirmed that the mummy nymph is not a nymphoid spirit in the conventional sense, but a product of some kind of magic. It belongs to the undead from hell summoned by magic. Its existence form is more similar to the oriental corpse in Chen Xiaoyao's mouth. Fortunately, they are just similar to monsters, and their actual strength is far from the level of zombie monsters. In addition, mummy monsters are extremely ferocious. Like the evil ghost monsters in previous missions, they kill people on sight, and their abilities are weird and unheard of. They can both isolate and isolate people. The Air Imprisonment can kill people from a distance, and its movement speed is about three times that of a human being. Its overall strength is terrifying. It is no less threatening to the executor than the Earth Binding Spirit. Its strength is worthy of difficult-level tasks, of course. , even though the mummy hawk is powerful, the opponent also has weaknesses. One of the biggest weaknesses is that the mummy hawk has extremely poor perception. Perhaps its existence form is too different from that of conventional hawks. The mummy hawk does not have the strong perception of conventional hawks. If If he wants to find the target, then he can only see with his eyes and listen with his ears like humans. Logically speaking, the odd perception can be considered good news. However, unfortunately, although the perception is not good, the mummy has made up for it by releasing black worms in disguise. this weakness.
To put it simply, it can be understood that by using the special connection with the black worm, the mummy worm can share the perception with the black worm. In other words, each black worm is equivalent to the search and locator of the mummy worm. As long as the black worm finds it, At that time, the mummy hawk can quickly move to the location of the prey by hiding from the ground. In addition, the mummy hawk still seems to be immortal!
According to Zhao Ping, a few hours ago, he had done an experiment to test the ability of lynx to sense by waiting in a certain position for a long time. About an hour later, Zhao Ping got the answer, confirming that the sense of gnats was extremely poor. , the answer was obtained, but unfortunately he himself accidentally got away with it because of this experiment. Because he never dreamed that the mummy worm could release black insects for exploration, and he escaped quickly, Zhao Ping fell into a desperate situation. The mummy that played the card was caught, but the other party actually spared the two closest security guards and the Kong Ling who was also lagging behind. Instead, he instantly imprisoned himself who was running in front! In a panic, Zhao Ping took out his firearm and shot decisively, but the bullets could not hit the mummy. Note that the reason for the failure was not that his shooting skills were too poor and he missed the target, but that the mummy could even trap bullets in flight!
Next, Zhao Ping was imprisoned. Referring to the security guard who died tragically earlier, it stands to reason that once he is caught, the only thing waiting for him is death. Unexpectedly, at the critical moment when Zhao Ping was desperately waiting for death, Kong Ling appeared, abandoning Zhao Pingcang earlier. Kong Ling, who fled in panic, returned to the scene as a soul. After deliberately turning off the power of the castle, he used the prop soul to leave the body. He immediately killed the mummy in a sneak attack and killed Zhao Ping before he was crushed into a meat pie. Cutting it in half, Kong Ling immediately cut it in half in order to prevent any unexpected events, and used some method similar to the netherworld fire to burn the mummy to ashes, leaving it completely shattered. However...
What makes Zhao Ping's hair stand on end is that, with a soul that is a hundred times more powerful than ordinary people, although Kong Ling did eliminate the mummy worms, he inevitably suffered a backlash and was forced into a coma in the following time. However, only half of the time passed. When he was young, he saw the mummy worm again! It was discovered that the mummy that was supposed to be destroyed by Kong Ling was frantically chasing Peng Hu and others!
There is no denying that Zhao Ping also imagined that the mummy worm would be difficult to eliminate, but when he witnessed the scene of the mummy worm actually being resurrected and reborn, Zhao Ping was still shocked. As for how the mummy worm was resurrected? Regarding this point, Chen Shuihong undoubtedly has the most say. After all, the mummy was resurrected in front of him, but the method of resurrection is difficult to understand, that is...
Star array!
The mummy, which had lost its soul and even died until it could no longer die, just emerged from a red magic circle!
what does that mean? Very simply, it means that the mummy is immortal. Even if it is destroyed, the opponent can still be reborn infinitely with the help of a strange magic circle, thus randomly appearing anywhere in the castle!
By relying on all the executors to gather and exchange information, the above is the information that He Fei obtained, but it is only one of them.
As for the second message…
The second piece of news highlighted by He Fei is a bit incomprehensible, and this important piece of news has just been mentioned. It is none other than the star formation that represents magic!
As mentioned above, with the help of that strange magic circle, the mummy gained the ability to be infinitely reborn, but the question is what exactly is the magic circle? In other words, even if it is magic, the power of this magic is too abnormal. It can actually make the soulless mummy reborn again? And rebirth is only one of the doubts. In fact, what really bothers He Fei and everyone is the disappearance of the mummy!
According to the narrations of Zhao Ping, Peng Hu and others, at the moment when the time reached 18 o'clock at night, the mummy that was about to take Peng Hu's life disappeared and was absorbed and devoured by the magic circle that suddenly appeared. Without a trace?
As an aside, He Fei knew that there were bugs in the castle and the space on the third floor was small. He Fei's original plan was to gather everyone to exchange news. As soon as the news was exchanged, he would lead everyone downstairs as quickly as possible. Leaving this floor was not conducive to escape and hiding. However, after knowing clearly that the mummy had been absorbed by the magic circle and disappeared, He Fei changed his plan. He thought that since it was temporarily safe, he would not order everyone to go downstairs immediately, but Extending the time, I plan to use this inexplicable safety period to continue to stay on the third floor. There are two purposes. The first is to discuss the problem together when everyone is gathered together and try to find the answer. As for the second reason...
He wanted to do an experiment, and no matter what, he had to test the guess himself!
Of course, before that, he still had to confirm whether what Zhao Ping said was true.
Let’s get back to the topic, at this moment, in the room on the third floor.
"The mummy has been absorbed by the magic circle? Are you sure?"
As mentioned above, considering the safety of himself and other members, He Fei looked stunned and immediately asked Zhao Ping again in a tentative tone. Zhao Ping nodded slightly and said noncommittally: "Well, I'm sure. In fact, it's not just with my own eyes." When the aperture reached the aperture, Brother Peng also witnessed the whole process."
"Yes, yes, I can testify to this. What Zhao Ping said is true. After all, I have experienced it up close and personal!" As Zhao Ping nodded in affirmation, Peng Hu quickly came forward to confirm that Xu was too worried about his earlier experience. After saying this, he shook his face, and the bald man added again: "Mom, luckily that weird aperture appeared in time, otherwise I would have died long ago!"
"It seems that the news is true..." After being confirmed by Zhao Ping and Peng Hu, He Fei muttered to himself, then turned his eyes behind him to stare at the wall, and once again locked onto the red magic circle that painted the eyelids.
He Fei was muttering to himself and observing the wall. Chen Xiaoyao was also not idle. Taking advantage of the opportunity when most people were thinking and pondering, Chen Xiaoyao quietly walked to Li Tianheng and whispered: "Hey, you kid, you can do it. You have been paddling all afternoon." Water, we are all together, but I didn’t expect that you didn’t know how to rescue Brother Peng when he was in danger. Don’t tell me that you were frightened.”
"What an injustice! Where did I paddle? Yes, I was with Brother Peng and Sister Tang Meng all afternoon, but you didn't understand the situation at that time. In order to escape, I didn't even use exorcism bombs I used it. You know, I only brought two bombs in total. Unexpectedly, the mummy was too abnormal. The black smoke that could last for 1 minute only blocked him for 10 seconds! And the mummy itself was too fast. Hurry, before we can run downstairs, the monster has already rushed in front of us, I, I can't react at all!"
"If you don't believe it, just ask Sister Tang Meng, or just ask Chen Shuihong, who escaped alone like lightning!"
Sure enough, when he saw Chen Xiaoyao complaining about himself, in order to avoid being blamed by Chen Xiaoyao, Li Tianheng, who had been playing the dumb role in the crowd, immediately shouted that he was wronged, and at the same time hurriedly looked for witnesses, as if he wanted to take the blame no matter what. With a posture of throwing away, he shouted that he was wronged and looked for witnesses. Little did he know that Chen Xiaoyao was just nervous for too long and teased casually, intending to use Li Tianheng as a way to relieve the pressure.
Chen Xiaoyao thought so, but unfortunately Li Tianheng didn't know this. Instead, when Chen Xiaoyao forced him to take the blame, he suddenly thought of one person, Chen Shuihong, who had ignored his teammates and only cared about himself!
Thinking of the middle-aged fat man, Li Tianheng suddenly looked unhappy. Later, in a voice that anyone could hear clearly, he deliberately said that Chen Shuihong only wanted to escape! Sure enough, under Li Tianheng's deliberate reminder, Peng Hu, who was still immersed in fear, was stunned for a moment, then suddenly turned to look at someone, staring at Chen Shuihong, who was now embarrassed, with eyes full of irritation!
Although Peng Hu didn't speak during the gaze, who was Chen Shuihong? As soon as he met Peng Hu's eyes, Fatty instantly understood the meaning from Peng Hu's angry eyes. The meaning was very simple, that is...
"I didn't hesitate to go out to rescue you, but you damned yourself abandoned others and ran away alone when you were in danger!?"
"Ah! Brother Li, look at what you said. When did I just care about myself and escape? Well, I admit that I used an escape tool that can increase my speed instantly. I also admit that I could have run far away at that time, but I quickly ran away. I came back again, but because I was not used to the high speed when I used it for the first time, I accidentally fell down on the way back and was briefly unconscious for a while."
As expected of a shrewd man known as a veteran, after hearing what Li Tianheng said and facing Peng Hu's displeased look, Chen Shuihong immediately started to lie, opening his eyes and telling lies with lightning speed that was no less fast than his original escape. During this period, his face was neither red nor out of breath, and his face was as thick as a city wall. Everyone was dumbfounded. Of course, not to mention why Chen Shuihong was so thick-skinned. At the same time, in front of the wall, after looking at the red magic circle for a while, he touched his chin. , He Fei turned around again, and then turned his head to scan the scene under Cheng Ying's curious eyes. Finally, he locked on Zhao Ping and mentioned the key point again, proposing the third key point that had already been classified by his plan: "Every time the mummy kills someone, Questions are always asked of those who are captured, about a person named Elaine?”
Yes, as mentioned above, He Fei obtained a large number of clues through the gathering of people to exchange information. Because there was too much information, He Fei had to filter and streamline it. If the worm itself is the key point, and the Starlight Array is also the key point, then Isn't the abnormal behavior of the worm not the point?
"Actually, I have always been concerned about the mummy worm itself. Not only does it have an extremely special form, but it is also a worm with only self-awareness. When I was caught by the mummy worm, I discovered that it can communicate with people and speak like humans. , as expected, the mummy should be conscious. He knows he is a bug and knows what he is doing. But I can’t figure out who Elaine is in the mummy’s mouth? And why is he in the castle? Are you frantically looking for this person? Or maybe killing is just the secondary goal of the Mummy Man, and his main goal is to find the mysterious being named Elaine."
Seeing that He Fei always talked about the key points, Zhao Ping also analyzed directly and explained the previous analysis conclusions truthfully. After speaking, he glanced at Tang Meng who was thoughtful beside him. Zhao Ping was not talking, but He Fei was slightly affirmed. He nodded and said: "Well, my point of view is the same as yours. I also think that the mummy has consciousness and is a rare creature with only self-awareness. Otherwise, he would not have made the abnormal behavior of asking questions first before killing, which would be even more impossible. Make a searching gesture.”
"And the one named Elaine, the name sounds like she is a woman. As for who Elaine is..."
At this point, He Fei stopped abruptly, and then he just touched his chin and remained silent. Although he was silent, his eyes slowly moved involuntarily as if they were attracted by something, and finally turned to the wall beside him. However, he was still silent. Bi Yu had been observing the magic circle before. This time, He Fei cast his gaze to the center of the wall and looked at the oil painting of a figure that was as inexplicable and strange as the magic circle.
(Huh?).
Xu Shi saw something from He Fei's inexplicable behavior. Seeing this, Cheng Ying seemed to have some understanding. Together with Peng Hu, who had been listening carefully, they both expressed surprise and suspicion. This was described as such, and the reality was also the same. It was a fact. Except for the newcomers Jiang Da Feng and Qiao Mengting who were still at a loss when they came to the scene, after asking about Zhao Ping's hysterical analysis and seeing He Fei's sideways movements, all the experienced people were all aware of it, even the less experienced people. Tang Meng subconsciously followed He Fei and looked at the wall, looking at the strange oil painting depicting a young man and woman.
(Is it possible...)
As a top assassin who is good at observation, Cheng Ying's thinking speed is slightly faster than others after all. Sure enough, after seeing the oil painting, when Peng Hu touched his head and tried to speak, with a certain idea in mind, Cheng Ying looked over first. He Fei spoke first at the same time, and then announced his guess on behalf of He Fei, a truthful answer that shocked everyone:
"The couple in the oil painting should be the mummy and Elaine, right?"
