Chapter 123 Secret
Seeing the supervisor's hesitant expression, Ye Ming knew that he must know about this matter.

However, the supervisor quickly sorted out his expression, frowned and said: "What you said is indeed a bit strange, I will report this matter to the higher-ups, and ask them to send someone down to investigate this matter, and notify them as soon as they have the result. you."

"I'm very sorry, I will arrange to change a room for you immediately."

The supervisor bowed apologetically.

"Then trouble you."

Ye Ming said calmly.

He has already determined that there is something wrong with this hotel, so he can only find a chance to investigate it himself.

"By the way, let's change the room for that one too!"

Ye Ming glanced at the suite next door and said.

After all, it has been confirmed that that guy is Orbis, so naturally he can't let him disappear before his eyes.

The supervisor was a little surprised, but still nodded and said:
"no problem."

After speaking, the supervisor waved to the waiter, who immediately understood, went to the next door and knocked on the door of the guest room.

"Sir, are you in there?"

The waiter knocked on the door and asked carefully.

But there was no movement from inside.

"Haven't you come back yet?"

The supervisor said unexpectedly.

The waiter was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I saw that gentleman return to the room before, and he never went out again."

Ye Ming frowned, and spiritual perception penetrated into the room.

Immediately, his face changed slightly, and he said:
"There's something wrong with the people inside."

"What do you mean?"

the supervisor asked subconsciously.

"People are dead."

Ye Ming replied.

This answer surprised both the supervisor and the waiter. The supervisor was the first to react and hurriedly said, "Hurry up and get the spare key!"

The manager's face was a little anxious, but it wasn't because someone died in the hotel.

After all, it is very normal for people to die in this place, and it is not a major event worth mentioning.

It's just that this person's status is unusual, he is in the room now, he has no reason to explain to the higher authorities.

He still doesn't know that Orbis has been sold by the people above.

The waiter quickly brought the spare key and opened the door. The light in the room was off, and the room was pitch black.

He entered the room and turned on the light, and the scene in the room was presented to several people.

This is a very strange picture. Although they knew in advance that there was a dead person inside, even Ye Ming couldn't use his mental perception to see what it looked like inside. Now he saw the picture in the room for the first time.

I saw Orbis sitting quietly on the sofa, with his body sideways, making a gesture of supporting his head with one hand.

But the head that should have existed in that place was now held in his arms.

Those eyes were wide open, as if they had seen an extremely terrifying scene temporarily.

The room was very clean and tidy, not even a single trace of blood could be seen on the body of the dead Orbis, and the part where the body was separated was as smooth as glass.

"what!"

The waiter glanced at it for a few moments, then cried out belatedly.

The supervisor frowned, and subconsciously looked at Ye Ming beside him.

Orbis died here, and the biggest suspect here is Ye Ming, after all, there is a wall between the two.

It was Ye Ming who proposed to change another room for Orbis just now.

"not my business."

Ye Ming couldn't help shrugging.

This incident was indeed a bit of a coincidence, and the supervisor would immediately suspect that there was no problem with him.

It's just that he was also surprised by Orbis' death.

Now that Orbis is dead, their trip was wasted.

The supervisor withdrew his gaze, arranged for someone to change rooms for Ye Ming, and then left in a hurry.

The death of Orbis did not cause any disturbance for the time being, except for the three people at the scene, no one else knew about it.

The supervisor rushed to report this matter to the higher-ups, and Ye Ming also wanted to tell the captain and others about it.

Ye Ming soon got a reply from the captain.

Obviously, Xia Lun didn't expect this kind of thing to happen.

"In that case, prepare to leave!"

Xia Lun was silent for a while and said.

After all, Orbis is dead, and this mission is meaningless.

Ye Ming hesitated for a moment, and told Xia Lun what he saw those eyes before.

"I suspect that Liberty City hides a big secret, and finding out the truth may make up for the loss of this mission." Ye Ming said.

"Don't act rashly, wait for us to come down."

Sharon finally nodded.

Regarding what Ye Ming said, he had some guesses in his heart. If it was what he thought, then this time it would be fun again.

Ye Ming ended the communication and lay on the bed ready to rest.

After changing another room, he didn't feel that strange sight again.

Of course, he didn't dare to relax his vigilance. After all, Orbis had died in a room separated from him by the wall, and his death was in a strange manner.

Judging by the cleanliness of the room, Orbis didn't even have time to struggle before he died.

It's just that his consciousness was in that empty space at that time, and he didn't know what happened next door.

Thinking about it now, I still feel a little scared. After all, his consciousness was separated from the body at that time, and he was in a state of separation of body and soul. If someone tried to harm him, he would not be able to wake up again.

This also gave him experience. In the future, he must not be promoted in an unfamiliar place.

In addition, he didn't know if the pair of eyes on the wall he saw had anything to do with Orbis' death.

It's a pity that he has no way of knowing this.

In Orbis' room, he didn't feel the breath of the soul, which means that Orbis was annihilated together with his soul after death.

It can only be said that the emergence of necromancy has greatly improved the process of killing people.

Ordinary killing only needs to kill people, but due to the existence of the necromancy arcane that can make the dead speak, everyone has another job after killing people, which is to erase the soul together.

Fortunately, necromancy can't make corpses speak.

Otherwise, it will not only erase the soul, but I am afraid that such things as frustrating bones and ashes will become the norm.

Ye Ming's thoughts kept diverging, and when he came back to his senses again, he found himself lying in a bloody world.

A blood-colored full moon hangs high in the sky, and the thick blood color covers everything.

A huge stone statue under the moonlight attracted Ye Ming's attention.

It was a strange statue, like a dry tree trunk, covered with dense snake-like creatures.

There is only one statue standing there in the empty space, which looks very strange, and at the same time, if you look at it twice, you can feel the line of sight coming from that statue.

Ye Ming knew very well that he was in a dream.

Just why do such dreams appear?

The Arcanist has basically gotten rid of such things as dreaming. The last time he had a dream was because he was guided by Amon.

But now because of the existence of the Dream Weaving Crown, it is absolutely impossible for anyone to guide his dreams again.

This should never have happened.

At this moment, he suddenly heard a voice coming from the direction behind him. Someone was talking, and there was more than one person. They were speaking in an obscure language and repeating the same words.

Ye Ming subconsciously turned his head and looked behind him. He had confirmed that there was no one nearby at all, but now there were groups of people.

Those people walked towards this side like walking dead.

To be precise, their target was the weird statue, and they only had that statue in their eyes, and they turned a blind eye to Ye Ming's existence.

These people kept appearing from the direction behind him, passed by him, and passed directly through his body.

Everyone's face was cold and numb, only their lips were moving slightly.

Immediately afterwards, those who walked in the front knelt down in front of the statue, and they still repeated those words of unknown meaning, which seemed to be some kind of prayer spells.

Ye Ming walked through the crowd slowly, the statue didn't give him a good feeling, especially after these mysterious people appeared.

He was even more afraid of the statue.

He came to the end against the crowd, ready to observe from a distance how things would develop next.

With the Crown of Dreams protecting his spirit, he is not afraid of accidents that will cause him to fall into a deep dream and be unable to wake up.

Maybe it has something to do with those eyes.

But when he walked through the crowd and reached the end of the crowd, he suddenly froze.

Because he saw a familiar face.

His previous opponent in the deathmatch, the man codenamed Dawn!

Ye Ming's mind buzzed, as if some kind of switch had been turned on, and a bold guess emerged in his mind.

Li Ming also looked numb like everyone else, even though the two stood face to face, Li Ming didn't respond to him, the one who killed him.

Li Ming is indeed dead, he can be sure of this, because after all, he personally ended Li Ming's life.

As a necromancer, no one could feign death in front of him.

In other words, the dawn he saw at this moment was only his soul body.

Holding these complacent doubts, Ye Ming's eyes swept across the crowd behind him, and then he found several familiar figures.

He has seen those people before, and they are all losers in the arena of death.

But at this time they all appeared in this place in another way.

"Is this the secret of the death match?"

Ye Ming grasped the point.

He had some doubts before, because he didn't feel any breath of dead souls when he entered the death fight field.

It stands to reason that many people die every day in the Death Arena, so it is impossible that there is no breath of dead souls at all.

It's just that he thought it was the people in the death battle field who cleaned up those dead souls.

But now it seems that this is not the case. No one in the death battle field will be responsible for cleaning up the dead souls, because there is no need for this.

Lost souls will appear in this place.

In other words, they have such a purpose, the people who died in the death arena are gathered here, and then use them to worship the statue.

What are they trying to do?
Ye Ming turned his gaze to the statue. At this time, almost everyone had knelt down, and the dense crowd knelt in front of the statue, whispering certain words in unison.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Ye Ming felt that the snake-like creature on the statue seemed to be more agile.

At this moment, a huge spiritual force suddenly gushed out from the statue, aiming at Ye Ming.

It was a hazy thought, and it seemed that he did not have a complete consciousness, but Ye Ming still understood the meaning contained in it.

The thing was asking him, why didn't he kneel?

Ye Ming ignored that idea and directly expelled that idea with the Dream Weaving Crown, but this behavior seemed to offend the inexplicable existence.

Ye Ming saw that the blood moon in the sky was brighter at this moment.

Immediately, the dense crowd kneeling on the ground turned their heads at the same time, all looking in Ye Ming's direction.

Their faces were full of anger.

It seems that Ye Ming has desecrated the supreme existence in their hearts.

Liming was the closest to Ye Ming. Almost instantly, Liming, who had turned a blind eye to Ye Ming, launched an attack directly.

However, in this spiritual realm, no one can hurt Ye Ming who owns the Crown of Weaving Dreams.

Liming's soul was instantly shattered and completely dissipated.

Afterwards, Ye Ming was not idle either. Now that he was here, he was going to smash the statue directly, anyway, he had an advantage here.

All the dead souls who tried to stop him were dispersed along the way.

Although Ye Ming once suspected that the Crown of Weaving Dreams might not be a magic weapon of the spiritual system, this does not affect its strong influence in the face of spiritual power.

In this kind of spiritual world, Ye Ming with the Crown of Weaving Dreams in his hand is completely invincible.

The statue also seemed to realize something was wrong, and the snake-like creature that was originally compressed into a ball also stretched its body at this time.

The picture was a little weird for a while. It turns out that the main body of the statue is not the tree trunk that Ye Ming thought, but they are actually one.

The thing that looks like a tree trunk is the body of that thing, and the other snake-like body is its head.

There are a total of nine such heads, but so far only seven have truly formed, and two snake heads have not yet formed.

Nine snake heads danced in the air, and the blocking souls in front of Ye Ming seemed to be encouraged. For a moment, their eyes were red, and snake scales appeared on their faces. They even began to transform into that weird basilisk.

Ye Ming frowned, and suddenly his heart moved, and a holy sword of light appeared in his hand.

"Does it really work?"

The moment he summoned the holy sword of light, Ye Ming himself was a little surprised. After all, this is a spiritual world, but the holy sword of light is an entity.

He just wanted to try it, but he didn't expect it to succeed.

I don't know if it's the role of the Dreamweaving Crown or the holy sword of light itself has spiritual attributes, but it doesn't matter anyway.

Ye Ming, who got the holy sword of light, directly cleared all the obstacles in front of him with a single sword.

The holy sword of light also has an absolute restraint effect against spirit bodies.

It's just that the basilisk has disappeared here, the blood moon above has also dimmed at this time, and the remaining soul body has also begun to disappear.

"Escaped? But where can you escape?"

Ye Ming squinted his eyes. Although he was escaped by that thing, it was obvious that that thing couldn't really run away. This is its breeding ground.

That thing is not yet a complete body, there are at least two heads left to conceive.

He will come back here after all, and Ye Ming didn't destroy this space, and woke up from the bed after closing his eyes.

He didn't investigate any more, but prepared to wait for the captain and the others to come down from the upper city.

Now the secret here has probably been confirmed, someone here is using the dead people in the death match field to breed some kind of monster.

Once that weird basilisk grows into a full body, it might be a big trouble.
