第37章 影子的牺牲 (第2/2页)

\third point, don't tell anyone, let alone others. I don't know what will happen, but you will definitely regret it.\ Li Jiahong pointed to his ring finger.

\Fourth, if you look down and see your feet above your shoes, don't look up. Stare at them until you can no longer see them.\

the fifth and final thing is that not only people with feet can wear shoes. Li Jiahong opened his fingers and finally finished talking about the five precautions.

clark looked at the red shoes in Li Jiahong's hands, his Adam's apple moved up and down violently, and he swallowed secretly.

“did you remember?” Li Jiahong looked worried and said carefully, “If you don't remember, I'll say it again.”

\I'm sorry.\ clark was very cautious about this and quickly nodded.

So, Li Jiahong repeated the five taboos earlier.

clark listened carefully and took it to heart.

but just as he was about to pay his bills, clark suddenly realized he was broke and had no money to pay them. these strange yet highly exquisite red shoes cost 200 Shenzhou coins, which is much cheaper than it looks. the value of handicrafts is increasing.

however, when he subconsciously felt in his pocket, he realized that he actually had cash, which happened to be 200 brand new Shinshu coins.

\why...why...\ clark wondered. I didn't know where he got the money, but the red shoes were right in front of me. he didn't think much about it and reluctantly let it go because life is precious and time waits for no one. he paid 200 Shenshu coins.

Li Jiahong accepted the money with a smile and said, ``thank you for your continued patronage.''

mr. clark looked at the money in the cash register, was silent for a moment, and said, \what will happen to me if I pay?\

“You will be blessed,” Li Jiahong said quietly.

…

clark left the cabin in the woods as the bell hanging in front of the door swayed. Employees working in various parts of the store gathered in front of the counter all at once.

\this stranger has mitted many crimes, but he doesn't know it,\ wei Jiang said as he removed the fire stick and chain from around his waist. the warm blue and red light on both torsos slowly disappeared.

\maybe it's a matter of a wounded soul,\ said Li tajin, leaning against the counter. he looked sideways at chen xiaolin, and he nodded. he also felt something strange about the customer from earlier.

Li Jiahong smiled lightly and said, \No matter who the guest is, they must be treated equally. this is the rule set by president Lin.\

196 reunion

the moment clark emerges from his cabin in the woods, time and space change. I turned around and saw a strange little shop in the woods. there was a warm light inside the store, and it was as if it didn't exist. but when he first saw it, he saw a sudden and unexpected horror...a red shoe with a white flower that was supposed to appear here was standing directly behind him, as if it were invisible. the two shoes were slightly spread apart, as if there was something missing. the person standing there.

\blessing?\ clark suppressed his excitement and simply walked forward without putting on his red shoes. After a while, I heard light footsteps.

I guess...I guess...

It's clear, sweet, and mysterious, like the sound of tears falling on white bones.

the shoes really follow you.

\Yo yo yo!

! \As clark became a little numb to the ensuing blessing, he heard some urgent whispers from the girl.

clark regained consciousness and subconsciously looked to see where the sound had e from. he notices that mi Lyle, whom he had been searching for, is hiding behind a large portrait that has been pushed aside. At this time, his face was gray and his eyes had a cautious look. A mouse discovered by a cat.

\A rail on the wall?!\ clark stared at mi Lyle in surprise, simultaneously shocked that this large portrait turned out to be a secret door.

\It's me! e with me!\ mirella gestured to clark, who was walking when she noticed some candlesticks on a nearby wall and said it was darker there. It reminded me.

clark accordingly walked to the secret door and slowly repaired it with miller.

check!

miriel lights a match, and before the match goes out it lights the candles in the menorah, illuminating the dark secret passage.

\why are you here?\ clark was glad that miraille was safe, but at the same time was confused as to how he could avoid being pursued by the fusion monster.

millet looked thoughtful and lowered his voice and said, ``didn't you set miss hella's room on fire? butler Valente and miss herra were chasing them out, and I took this opportunity. I wanted to capture it. I ran away, but I \didn't wait.\ I was so frightened that I screamed and unconsciously threw away everything I was holding, including my ax and oil lamp.

As a result, butler Valente did not avoid the fragile oil lamp with his axe, but he did not expect that the oil lamp spilled on the ground would catch on fire and ignite in the blink of an eye. they flared up and cried, and I took the opportunity to run away. I hid here and there, thinking that I would find a more powerful weapon and meet you, so I ran away to count bluebeard's room, returned to the secret room, and luckily found another secret passage in the secret room. ta.

I never thought that count bluebeard would install so many hidden passages within the castle, almost covering the entire castle. I just looked for you in the secret passage. ”

Fearing that clark would not easily believe him, miller took him back to the secret room where count bluebeard was recording and observing the entire process of magic.

In fact, even if miller didn't prove it, clark wasn't going to delve into its veracity.

\mr. clark, what should we do now?\ miller led clark back into the secret passageway, \Sooner or later, we're going to be discovered here. Even if we aren't, there's a good chance we'll freeze to death.\ \Yes. I'm going to starve,\ he said worriedly.

clark's heart wasn't just about millet. the footsteps of the third person could still be heard in her ears, but millet didn't seem to notice it. El asked instead, \You must have been exploring here for a long time. did you find a way to exit directly from the castle?\

``this secret passage does not lead directly to the outside of the castle.'' milea shook her head. \the only way I found was through one of the secret doors in the secret passageway. It was right near the castle gates, but like I said, if you left the castle now, you'd freeze to death. ”

``I have some good news for you.'' mr. clark smiled a little, ``I just looked at the sky outside the castle, and it looks like it's pletely sunny and the storm has stopped.''

\Really!?\ miraie's smile was filled with joy as she stood on her tiptoes and happily dropped again.

clark nodded. Just before entering the secret passageway with miller, he looked out the window. the weather is certainly showing signs of clearing up again. Since it's officially recognized, there will naturally be a chance to escape from the castle. then you won't have to fight anymore. the bined monsters get involved in battle.

``where else does this secret passage lead? Is there a room where you feel safer?'' clark asked, adding, ``before we wait for the weather to clear, we should at least find a place where we can observe the weather.'' \It's a small, dark place, and you can't see outside.\

miraie remembered this, thought about it, and said, a little embarrassed. ``I didn't pay much attention to it.this is my first time ing to this secret passage.It's familiar to me, but I don't know where it is or what it is.''A secret passageway connects them. ”

\then let's look for it together,\ said mr. clark.

with candles in hand, the two walked through the plex's secret passageways. In the process, they also discovered many hidden doors that looked like large picture frames. mr. clark couldn't help but sigh, \No wonder people still e to the castle for no reason.\ with many secret passages and traps missing, wonder how the mysterious count bluebeard is able to kidnap people.

the fact that it was possible to create a secret passageway that almost surrounded the entire castle can only be said to have been planned and prepared by Earl bluebeard from the beginning of the castle's design stage. ”

miraille similarly said, \people who e here are really unlucky. me too. All of us.\

while talking quietly, clark and miraille discover another secret door at the top. I slowly tried to push it open, but it was very difficult to push. So the two of them worked together to push the door open. And when they reached the top of the highest bell in the castle, it turned out that it was thick snow that prevented them from opening the door.

\that's good. I don't have to look anymore. I'm just here. It's very hidden. If you take the time to open up the space every once in a while, you can see the weather outside. I looked now and there's a lot of snow. It was lighter. It should probably be about the same.'' It's over,'' clark said happily to miraiar as he turned and closed the secret door again.

miller was also very happy to hear clark's opinion.

For a while, the two of them stayed in the corner of the secret passageway, municating in low voices, snuggling close to each other without waking up, giving each other warmth, and unknowingly, a lot was approaching them...

About 3 hours have passed. clark looked at his pocket watch for a moment. both he and miraiel were a little surprised by the cold. they braced themselves and pushed open the secret door again. the warm sunlight shone on him. , quickly warmed his cold body, and he couldn't help but smile: \we can... go out.\

197 people surrendered

the snowstorm that had lasted two nights had finally stopped, and clark felt as clear as the sky.

taking miller's hand, clark ran to the secret door closest to the castle gate.

``but...it's a little late...do you want me to bring you some clothes?'' miraie probably couldn't stand the cold and couldn't help but ask.

clark's limbs were shaking violently. It was really cold inside the secret passage. he stood there thinking for about two seconds, then decided, ``okay, I'll go back and get more clothes.''

In fact, when clark went to Valente's room, he was already changing into warm clothes in Valente's room. however, while in the secret passage, he also gave clothes to miraie, but not to her. I think the secret passageway was not only cold like a refrigerator, but also unexpectedly humid. After a while, his and miraia's clothes became like balls of ice. clothes squeak when you move. It was like falling on shards of glass.

If you escape from the castle, you should risk changing into clean, warm clothes, considering you don't know how long it will take you to get to safety.

Now, which room should we go to?

without hesitation, clark chose count bluebeard's room. the clothes of the great nobles were undoubtedly the best in the castle. when he searched count bluebeard's room, he found several beautiful, valuable and warm coats. the animal skin jackets and linings are woven with a lot of high-quality fabrics, making these clothes even better than the ones in mirai's room.

miraille watched clark's methods and gradually began to understand clark's thoughts. Although she was shivering from the cold, her face showed the excitement of a girl playing a prank on someone for the first time.

Fortunately, clark and mirel return to count bluebeard's room, fearing that the fusion monster might discover them at any moment, but they never see them. Valente and hera seemed to disappear into thin air.

but despite this, clark still did not dare to let his guard down, hesitated, and changed his clothes on the spot. mirai timidly took the clothes she had brought with her, hid behind a bookshelf, and changed into her clothes.

\Ah...\ while I was changing my clothes, there was movement from mi Lail's side.

\what's wrong? hisss...\ clark quickly turned around and asked worriedly. As soon as I turned around, my back suddenly felt itchy and painful. he looked for a mirror in the room and noticed that it was a frozen bone in my back.

mi Reil was also trying to suppress the pain. I heard the sound of clothes rustling from behind the bookshelf and said, ``It's okay... it's just my back hurts.''

\oh, what a coincidence, me too...\ clark thought as they huddled together, leaning against the cold wall of the secret passageway. then he noticed a reflection of light in the room. miraie's face was reflected in the mirror. he was a little feverish and turned away shyly.

but he could still see a little. A sudden chill on her left shoulder destroyed her perfect and beautiful body. contrary to her pure and beautiful appearance, mirail's navel was studded with gorgeous sequins. , it seems like a quick gem.

clark only knew that women of some ethnic groups in some parts of the world have a habit of wearing jewelry or gold objects in their navels. the west coast of his hometown, New York, was a city of global immigrants. he was lucky to meet people who inherited this type of custom. women who bine traditional and modern fashion styles have beautiful bellies like millet.

Just he's still interested, doesn't it hurt?

Although it was a little fanciful, mr. clark didn't slow down and quickly changed his clothes. milea was a little slow. After all, she was a thin woman who always wore fat men's clothes. It's a little easier to organize. Fortunately, despite its problems, miraille is very effective.

``Is it still cold now?'' clark couldn't help but laugh at mirai's fat cat-like appearance, but still asked with concern.

\It's okay.\ mirella pursed her lips and looked at clark, probably seeing the smile in his eyes.

clark and miraille return to the secret passageway and head straight for the secret door closest to the exit. the sound of clark and miraille's breathing could be heard on the road.

they moved quickly and reached the secret door in less than ten minutes.

Similarly, this time before opening the door, clark listened to the walls to see if there were any sounds ing from the fusion monster and if the fusion monster was nearby.

It doesn't seem to be wild. miraie also heard the walls, but she didn't hear any movement.

\okay, count to three, let's go outside together and walk slowly,\ clark said.

clark winked and counted in a low voice.

3...2...1...Go!

clark and millet worked together to push open the secret door and hurried outside, reaching the steps in front of the castle gate in no time.

Although the gate was only a few dozen meters away from the stairs, the two of them walked as quickly as if they had just run an intense 100-meter run, and were drenched in sweat.

Get out! Get out!

clark's heart pounded as he and miraille pushed open the castle door.

patatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatata... the sound of hurriedly stepping on shoes echoed behind me. the moment clark pushed open the crack in the door, his heart felt cold.

cry...

I forcefully pushed the door open, but what greeted me was not the scorching sun, but a large shadow beneath the sun.

I also met butler Valente and miss hella, who I hadn't seen for a while. they fused even more pletely, to the point where certain parts of their bodies were no longer visible. they were swollen like fleshworms with thin branches, only longer. two faces.

butler Valente and miss hera smiled wickedly at clark and mirella, who looked frightened. they seemed to have been waiting here for a long time, expecting to appear here.

\hahaha, I've been waiting for a long time, and it's finally here.\ Valente smiled conspiratorially, his eyes full of teasing, \I don't know that there are secret passages in the castle. don't you think so?'' he said. As he spoke, he held out his hand and opened it, revealing a bloody golden key. At that moment, the key and the bones in his palm connected as if they had grown together.

If count bluebeard is the only one who knows about the secret passage, then what Valente is holding must be a memento that conveys count bluebeard's memories.

\we want to know when you're going to e out of here like rats, so we've been standing here waiting for you to e out.\ hela smiled strangely, her face stretched out and swollen. A face stuck out from the body. A snake-like neck split open and approached the two, surrounding clark and miraille.

198 Noise (2-in-1)

\oh!

oh!

! \when a group of rebinant humans saw this scene in the laboratory, their faces became ferocious and excited, and their already distorted and ugly faces became even more cruel and insane, and they screamed in strange voices.

the giant rat stroked the clear glass separating them from the lab. he scraped the glass several times with his thin foot. the glass cracked and groaned, suddenly scratching the clean, clear glass. he led the field experiment and saw for himself how the experiment went smoothly. Now, that experience is about to e true.

\he will succeed! he will succeed!\ the giant rat trembled with excitement, and saliva could not help flowing from the corner of his mouth. \the power behind the spiritual barrier...the weak ascend to a dimension and control the mighty taboos. power...\

``If the experiment is successful, we will have the opportunity to train an unimaginable conventional army!'' the rebinant man, whose body was curled up like a spiral, further deformed, and his elastic body rapidly shrunk.

“then, if you do not mean these hateful investigators, we will bee a great and rare race, and we will change the course of human history, and we will be qualified to be servants of the Lord. we will live forever, and we will die without dying!'' covered by mass of muscle, but missing. the skin on his strange face was so excited that his muscles were engorged, and his whole body seemed to be getting bigger.

this reorganized group of monsters is steeped in their dreams and full of boundless expectations for their future.

however, the next moment, loud noises continued to be heard from all directions, and the entire laboratory shook with the sound. An explosion that shattered the wall occurred immediately. without waiting for a reaction, green flames erupted from the side wall. he jumped out like a ferocious man-eating giant and instantly devoured several people who had regrouped and were unable to dodge.

that green flame seems to burn up even the soul. those who were lucky enough to be unaffected or able to evade the green flame attack in time to regroup and be present heard a loud scream as they were engulfed by the green flames. Even deaf people could \hear\ the cries of the soul. It was clear and scary.

Even if they watched this scene, the reenactors who were present at the scene would not know what happened.

As they were focused on pleting the experiment, thinking their plan was perfect and that the explorers wouldn't find out anytime soon, the underestimated explorers finally discovered them and heard a roaring sound. I used my power to break through the underground trap. strong

the regrouped people saw moving shadows in the smoke and were not afraid in their hearts. their anger and madness seemed to be fueled by a raging fire. those who regrouped and had a chance of survival fought back.

bang bang bang!

Amidst the smoke and dust, investigators also discovered a group of dark, despicable men. they too opened fire without hesitation.

the relationship between investigators and normal creatures is more hostile than that of fire and water. there is no need to meet in person. As long as they understand who \that person\ on the other side is, they will fight to the death.

that night, an irregular earthquake occurred in the xc area of Fengxiang city and lasted for nearly four hours. All district xcs have been closed. Later, evacuees saw her. thousands of canyons have been created in the xc area. Numerous unknown filth spewed out from the cracks in the ground, and thousands of strange plants were sprouting. the scariest thing is the ghostly screams ing from underground.

Everyone knew that an unusual event had happened in Fengxiang city, but they did not expect that the impact of this unusual event would be so large...but fortunately, in the end Good results were obtained, and the people hiding underground were Fengxiang city. Finally, the remains of mitomi have been pletely removed, and it is only a matter of time before the city returns to its original state.

Let's rewind 4 and a half hours ago...

thanks to the unknown background information about dr. clark, the cooperation of overseas members of the Normal biology Foundation, and the tireless efforts of the members of the occult team fighting on the front lines of Fengxiang city, clues were gathered and the xuanmei group was quickly found. . the remaining forces of Sanfu are hidden underground in the xc area of Fengxiang city.

A mysterious team was quickly dispatched, brought with them a large amount of advanced equipment for fighting ordinary animals, and immediately headed for the fortress.

the action was overwhelming and very effective.

but so-called efficiency is only pared to similar actions in the past. this fight between ordinary animals and humans is not, after all, a fight between humans. casualties are inevitable, but far from what most think. \Smooth and happy.\

beyond the mutilated corpses and the flesh and blood of animals unknown on earth, Yu Lianyun came upon a wild rat with most of its head destroyed and spitting out blood foam and broken teeth in its mouth. , saw Gade. After he died, he said coldly: \where did you hide dr. clark and what exactly did you do to him?\

the vicious rat is an inpletely transformed pufferfish, but it also fully inherits the pufferfish's physical damage. the wounds on his body are difficult to heal. they have a more stubborn life force than humans, but what they must do now is death. In the end, he heard Yu Lianyun’s words and laughed out loud. \hey hey hey... you go look for him yourself, it's impossible to save him anyway... everything is already over because you lost him...\

After saying these words, the strong rat also took his last breath, and his exposed heart stopped beating.

Yu Lianyun had a bad feeling in her heart. he pushed open the laboratory door behind the three-dimensional mouse with a stylish look on his face. Yu mao and Ren qiuji followed closely behind. the sight that caught his eye captivated everyone who witnessed it. the occult detectives' sanity is on the verge of collapse.

A huge, unknown noise washed over us like a sudden tsunami. opening the door will definitely destroy the almost perfect sound insulation of the specially built laboratory. beautiful yet harsh, loud and whisper-like, the contradictory sound affects the psyche of everyone present. Everyone felt that their brains were shaking violently, and they could vaguely hear a sneaky movement like a star ing from the depths of their brains. A crisis that should not have hatched quickly hatched and burst out of its shell due to the influence of this mysterious sound.

what appeared before their eyes were dozens of fresh human brains mixed with an unknown suspension of black, white, and multicolored fluids. they were gathered quietly on a white laboratory bench. the metal electrodes placed in each brain seem to be connected to the flesh of the brain, and the blood merges into one, and the protruding brain tissue extends fine granules like the rhizomes of a plant made of flesh and blood, and the metal It covered the board. Each brain flower is like a hungry evil animal, crazy and greedy. source of electricity.

Under the influence of unknown forces, these brains actually maintained amazing activity and seemed to transform into independent animals. A structure that shouldn't exist in the human brain was growing in the brain sulcus, and had long tentacles. It seems that what is connected to the pounded paw is the ``brain,'' the detection organ of this ``animal.'' when you poke the paw of the other brain, the two brains begin to move strangely. mixed.

Leng qiuzi stepped forward and pushed everyone out of the laboratory, and quickly closed the laboratory door again, finally blocking out the influence of the mysterious noise.

without the noise effects, the mysterious detectives were like drowned people escaping from the depths of the ocean. After escaping, they fell to the ground, sweating like rain and breathing heavily, telling themselves that this was proof that they were alive.

of course, the effects of noise cannot be eliminated so easily. Some of the occult detectives suddenly ran to the laboratory door as if possessed by magic, shouting out loud, ``I want to hear a sound that no longer exists.'' Strange sounds of the world.

Fortunately, not all mysterious detectives are so mentally weak that their sanity collapses. they reacted quickly and stopped the anomalously affected group in time, knocking them out as much as possible and moving them away from the lab door.

\what...what happened just now!? Is this the true content of the top secret experience?\ bu Gaojun's brain was still trembling, as if tentacles connected to paw pads were growing out of his head. Felt. break out of your shell.

``If we understand this experience correctly, we are not qualified to be called human beings!'' Yu Lianyun realized that wu Gaojun was on the verge of a mental breakdown. he yelled at her in a loud scolding tone, using harsh words to calm her down. .

Everyone fell into a moment of silence, and Leng qiuzi said, “I don’t think I’ve seen dr. clark just now.”

\Is it possible that it was skinned alive and only one brain remained? Among those brains that are gathered together and mixed together is the dr. clark we are looking for now.\Yu. mao showed a plicated expression. \dr. clark has been dead for a long time. the purpose of our actions should not have been rescue from the beginning,\ he said with a smile.

Yu Lianyun rubbed her temples a little upwards. due to the strange noise from earlier, the blood flow in my body increased abnormally, and my face became abnormally red. It looked unnatural, but inside she calmed down and said, ``that sound...I feel like I've heard it somewhere before.''

“have you heard of him?” Yu mao was surprised and immediately asked, “where is he?”

I feel nostalgic when you say that. bu Gaojun thought for a while, then suddenly slapped his forehead, his eyes trembling, and said, \cuizhu city! It's cuizhu city's hellish concert!\

In this unnatural incident caused by the music of a human musical genius, a timeless and extradimensional demonic sound broke through the concert stage. A normal phenomenon that occurred in the sky spread all over the world due to the collision between the music played by the human musical genius high morphen and the nefarious extradimensional sounds spread through internet media.

It is somewhat ironic that at that time, there were two major abnormal situations in Suizhu city. however, only ``honkai Night'' is currently well known to the public, and ``hell concert'' is hardly known. perhaps due to the influence of the former, investigations into munist party organizations moved from behind-the-scenes to front stage.

\hell concert? I've heard of it.\ Yumao's smile trembled. \Are you saying that the demonic, extradimensional sound that appeared at the hell concert is the noise we just heard?\

Fo Gao nodded in the affirmative and said with a surprised expression, \however, this time I feel that the influence of the voice is not as strong as last time.\

the impact of this event spread all over the world. many people who listened to live music fell into a vegetative state immediately after the concert and suffered severe physiological damage to their brains.

when Yu Lianyun heard this, he immediately said, \the sound is too far away.\

“Far away?” Leng qiuji frowned.

“to be precise, this sound was not what I was aiming for. It is presumed that the sound of this dimension was captured by a device that reproduces audio. maybe they didn't even notice the sound.'' If there were no leaks in this world, the effects would not be as simple as they are now. ”Yu Lianyun said a guess while thinking.

Simple?

All the mysterious detectives present had bright smiles on their faces. the mere mention of \simple\ has already caused several mysterious detectives to lose their minds. what would be the oute if the music god of this dimension consciously targeted it? ?open the door and kill it?

\I have nothing more to say. Shut off the power and burn down everything here.\ Yu Lianyun took a deep breath.

It turns out that dr. clark has been murdered, and there are no longer any rescue efforts underway...

Eliminate the effects of subsequent abnormalities as much as possible.

After hearing Yu Lianyun's orders, all the mysterious detectives immediately took action and destroyed the main pipe of the circuit connected to the laboratory, causing an immediate power outage in the laboratory.

\what on earth is going on?\ bu Gaojun paid attention to the state of several brains in the laboratory, but after turning off the power, the brains that lost electrode stimulation lost activity. I found that not only was it not there, but it made me more restless. , dozens of brains are merging and devouring each other like crazy.

Seeing this vision, everyone suddenly felt great disfort. Yu Lianyun immediately ordered evacuation. he was the last to leave. he wanted to see the monsters called brains being swallowed up by green flames.

however, just as a fierce green flame was about to ignite in his brain, Yu Lianyun suddenly saw a disheveled woman appear in the laboratory. It appeared that he had no lower body, only his upper body was floating in the air, and something terrifying appeared around him. the black air flow pletely separates all green fire and bypasses the brain.

“blessing?” the moment Yu Lianyun saw the woman, she felt familiar, but she also immediately felt that this woman was a different kind of being than “Yao Zhenzhen” and others.

Yu Lianyun immediately guessed that this half-length woman was related to the forest cabin, and couldn't help but secretly feel a headache.

Soon, xuan's secret detectives were evacuated from the ground. A green fire sent a huge pillar into the xc area of Fengxiang city. the bright flame brought the best fort to secret detective xuan, except for Yu Lianyun. the hotter the fire, the more fortable you will feel.

Yu Lianyun stood idly on a street corner in the xc district, thinking about something.

“these fireworks are not bad.” A clear and warm voice reached Yu Lianyun's ears. the shadow at his feet suddenly boiled over like stress, still conveying Yu Lianyun's trembling.

Yu Lianyun also had a tremor all over her body, sweat on her head, and when she slowly looked to the left, she saw Ling Ling wearing white clothes smiling gently in the corner of the shadow.
