Something was dug under the house?
A somewhat surprised Ma Wei followed Halder, the construction leader, to the construction site not far from the hotel.
Because it was already dark, the construction work at night must not make too much noise. It happened that Ma Wei planned to renovate the original basement of the restaurant and increase the storage area, so the construction leader asked the workers to dig soil and lay bricks at night. Unexpectedly, the floor tiles I just lifted it up and dug down for less than two meters when something suddenly came out.
The light of several kerosene lamps lit up the dark basement, illuminating the bewildered and frightened expressions of the workers. They stood beside the excavated soil, not daring to move.
Who doesn’t know what happened in Flower Street a few days ago?
If Halder, the construction leader, hadn't told them to stare at this place, they would have been scared away.
Walking into the basement, Mawei immediately saw several gray-yellow clay pots exposed in the mud pit. Most of the pots were still buried in the soil, and only the tops of the pots were leaking out.
Mavey jumped into the mud pit first, turned around and hugged Yunia, stretched out his hand to the surrounding workers, and said in Frederick:
"lamp."
The workers did not respond and looked at the construction leader Halder, who also looked confused, "Mr. Nicholas, what did you say?"
Don’t you understand Friedrichian?…
Marvey turned to Windsor and said: "Give me the kerosene lamp."
"Oh oh oh!"
The workers hurried forward, stood at the edge of the pit and handed over the kerosene lamp in their hands, resolutely refusing to jump into the pit. In their eyes, the clay pot in the pit was a terrible symbol, and maybe something like a devil was sealed inside. ....
After getting the kerosene lamp, Mawei put on his gloves, squatted down, and pulled out a fragment of a clay pot inserted in the soil. He found that the fragment was severely corroded. It had been buried in the soil for many years. With a slight exertion, it became of powder.
Nothing could be seen from just one piece of debris. Mawei asked Yunia to hold a kerosene lamp to illuminate himself, then picked up the shovel on the side and started digging in the soil, preparing to dig out the clay pot in the soil and take a look.
With Yunia by his side, he has nothing to be afraid of. If there is a problem, Yunia will naturally remind him. Besides, the magic wooden box in his arms has been unresponsive, and even if it is a threat, it is not much of a threat.
Ma Wei, who had been a sailor, moved very quickly. He never liked to mess around. In the blink of an eye, he dug out more than a dozen clay pots. Just when he was about to continue digging and break the pots to ask...
With a 'clang' sound, the shovel touched something hard and stopped.
"Ni...Mr. Nicholas...stop digging, I...I'm afraid..." Mr. Halder, the construction manager, saw Mavey keep digging. He was so frightened that he trembled all over. He did this After many years of engineering, he has also dug things out of the ground, but before digging things out, no extraordinary creatures like millipedes had appeared...
Ma Wei ignored Halder, thrust the shovel into the ground, bent down and picked up a clay pot covered with soil, and carefully brushed off the soil. The jar body was corroded too badly, the lines were intermittent, and many places had been smoothed out. .
Vaguely, Ma Wei discovered that there were many strange patterns engraved on the jar, which were twisted like vines. Apart from the patterns, there were not many symbolic things. The mud seal on the top of the jar was intact, but the jar was full of cracks and exposed. Pitch black interior.
"Dad..." Yunia, who was holding a kerosene lamp, whispered in Frederick: "The breath of the millipede is in the jar. It's very bland. There should be nothing left."
"So, the millipede that parasitized Mr. Hamlet's youngest son crawled out of the clay pot?"
"Well, it's very possible."
According to Mavey's investigation, Mr. Hamlai's family suffered bad luck almost a year ago, that is, the day Yunia arrived.
There was an earthquake that day. Mavey speculated that the earthquake might have cracked the clay pot in the ground, causing the millipede sealed inside to crawl out, drill through the soil, and come into contact with Mr. Hamlai's family.
Or maybe after the earthquake, the millipedes in the clay pot woke up, crawled out of the pot, and parasitized Quinto's body.
No matter what the truth is, the millipede parasitic on Quinto must be related to the clay pot in front of him!
Who would keep millipedes in clay pots?
Ma Wei checked the pots one by one and found that among the dozen or so pots excavated, they were all damaged, and not a single one was intact, let alone a millipede.
After realizing this problem, Ma Wei simply tore open the mud seal and planned to see what was going on inside the pot.
A clay pot was opened, and when facing the light, Ma Wei found that the inner wall of the pot was dark, as if it was smeared with something, and at the bottom of the pot, he saw the body of a curled-up, completely shriveled millipede. The thickness of an index finger is two full circles smaller than the millipede that lives on Quinto.
"Brother!"
While Mawei was inspecting the clay pot, Laiwen and Edward came to the basement, "I heard something was dug out?"
"Well, some small jars...come here to help and see if these clay pots are all the same."
Under Ma Wei's greeting, Lai Wen and Edward slid down the pit and opened all the clay pots. In almost every pot, there was a black sticky paste, and the bottom of the jar with black paste must be There will be a dead millipede body.
The only exception was the clay pot that Yunia said contained an evil aura. Not only was there no millipede body in the pot, but there was also no black paste smeared on the pot wall.
Asking Daniel to get a table knife from the kitchen, Ma Wei scraped off a little of the paste on the wall of the jar, brought it to the tip of his nose and sniffed it. A pungent and fishy smell suddenly went straight to the top of his head along his nose, irritating his scalp. Feeling numb, the whole person suddenly became energetic.

Clay pots, black paste, millipedes...
Could the black paste be some kind of medicine used to feed millipedes?
Even in the classics left by the Apocalypse Cult, there is no information about black paste and millipedes. This is actually normal. The encyclopedia also has flaws, and it is impossible to be comprehensive and omnipotent.
There was something underneath the clay pot. When Ma Wei was digging, the shovel hit some hard object. If nothing else, it was most likely related to the clay pot.
As long as you keep digging, you can definitely dig out other things, but...
"Mr. Halder, fill in the hole."
Ma Wei jumped into the pit, turned around and picked up Yunia, and then moved out a dozen clay pots one by one, hiding the fact that there were secrets underneath the pots.
"But according to the drawings, you want to build a double-story basement. If you fill in the hole..." Halder, the person in charge, hesitated to speak.
"It doesn't matter, just follow my requirements. Thank you for working overtime. I'll treat you all to a drink tomorrow."
"Well, since that's what you mean."
Halder and the two workers next to him breathed a sigh of relief. They didn't want to continue digging. This house was too weird. If they continued digging, who knew what they would dig out?
In case you dig something dirty...
As soon as Mawei walked away, Halder led the workers on the back to fill up the pit.
Back at the hotel, Lai Wen looked at the dozen clay pots in Mawei's room and said, "Brother, what do you want to do by bringing them back?"
"Of course, study it carefully. Aren't you curious?" Ma Wei closed the door and signaled Edward to use the vampire's ability to observe human blood to monitor the surroundings. Once someone approaches the room, he will immediately alert him.
Using a table knife, Maweila scraped off the black paste attached to the inner wall of the clay pot bit by bit, and collected it in the teacup. A dozen clay pots collected two teacups full of black paste. Then, Maweila Close the curtains, ask Yunia to take out the mithril tag around her neck, and launch a shielding field that covers the room to isolate outside perception.
After doing all this, Ma Wei closed his eyes and whispered Buggy's name.
A point of light floated out from his arms and transformed into the shadow of Buggy in mid-air. Buggy seemed to have just woken up and yawned, looking drowsy.
"Were you sleeping just now?" Ma Wei frowned. Buggy was not a human, but a god, and was just a projection of consciousness. The act of sleeping had nothing to do with her.
"After you came to London, I let myself fall into a deep sleep." Buggy explained: "The goddess of fate is above our heads. In order to prevent her from sensing it, I can only use deep sleep to avoid her prying eyes. When she calls me , be sure to activate the mithril tag, otherwise I will be discovered by her."
Over our heads? What's the meaning? Is it literal or is it that the Three Fates are watching over London?
Before Ma Wei could ask questions, Buggy saw the black paste in the tea cup. He said "Huh" and floated to the tea cup to observe it carefully. As he looked at it, his face gradually became serious.
"Where did you find the soul mud paste?"
