[Bottle Evil] Snowy Illusion

Time goes back to a day a year ago.

This was originally a very ordinary day, but for Wu Xie, the illusion brought by that snake pheromone changed everything.It is also because of this that Wu Xie's subsequent changes and plan are complete.

The place where he was located was a small abandoned substation. Wu Xie would lock it up every time he came, because not only could he not be disturbed, he could not even be known about what he was going to do.

All he had with him was a recliner from IKEA, a case of fizzy drinks, and a dropper filled with some kind of liquid.

Next will be a long time travel, he will meet some people and experience their stories.

It sounds romantic, but it's not.

Wu Xie picked up the tiny liquid dropper and prepared to drip it into her nasal cavity.The contents inside are newly extracted and come from a kind of snake.By extracting the pheromones stored in the organs under the red and black scales of the snake's head, Wu Xie got the answer to the puzzle he had been looking for, at least the extremely important core part.As the frequency of reading becomes higher and the information obtained accumulates, more and more key points are screened out by Wu Xie.But when Wu Xie connected these keys that seemed to lead to the door of decryption, he saw a huge lie and a cruel truth.

The liquid dripped into the nasal cavity, it started as a burning pain in the nasal mucosa, he started to bleed, then the numbness started from the inside of the nose and crawled down the whole face, crawled into his brain, the neck began to be numb, and then the body sensation disappeared , Various scenes began to appear in the brain.

Wu Xie is still doing this because he can't stop.

In the initial time, the scene in the brain was not coherent and clear, and the sense of hearing and touch could not play a role. It was a state similar to the soul out of the body, and the pheromones completely brought Wu Xie into a snake. consciousness.

The surrounding scene gradually became clear, but it was still not bright. Wu Xie realized that he was in a dark place at this time, it might be a tunnel or simply a nest where snakes gather.

Gradually, Wu Xie realized that he was attached to something moving, he could feel the slight bumpy floating feeling, and the neat walls kept passing by before his eyes, which seemed more like a tunnel.

The black glasses told him that most of the illusions produced by pheromones are meaningless, there may be no sound, no image, pure darkness, not even darkness, but a void.

Wu Xie has experienced it many times. In those long, knife-like stinging voids, his brain is paralyzed. He can't think of any colors, as if there is a cryogen that freezes his thoughts.It was an indescribable despair.

But now, Wu Xie can't even sigh.

Then, this time without warning, a human voice appeared next to my ear.

"Damn it, it's like a fucking labyrinth here."

A familiar voice, a familiar tone.However, it may be because the hearing has not fully recovered, or it may be because the way and place where the voice appeared are very strange, Wu Xie did not recognize the voice immediately.

After saying this, the surroundings fell into silence again, but Wu Xie heard footsteps, the footsteps of two people.

The information collected in front of his eyes and ears shows that he is in a dark passage, and two people are walking with him.

"You won't get lost too, we've been walking for a long time."

It was still the familiar voice, with some complaints and some irritability in the tone, but that voice made Wu Xie feel at ease and trust inexplicably.

At this time, few people could make him feel like this.

Wu Xie felt that he should be able to guess who this person was, but it was strange to hear it here, is this Tamutuo?No, it felt more like another place, one full of obscure and hopeless memories.

However, what the next voice said to the other person allowed Wu Xie to determine the time and place where the conversation took place.

"Brother, why don't you take a look again?"

The moment he heard this title, all of Wu Xie's confusion disappeared in an instant, while other more complicated emotions flooded his brain.Compared with the question of why this kind of snake appeared here, Wu Xie's perception was quickly filled with other emotions.It is a mixture of anxiety and trust, despair and hope, fear and courage, helplessness with exhausted thoughts and obsession with perseverance...

"It's this way." The voice of that person sounded, it was Zhang Qiling.

Wherever there is that kind of snake, there is this person, and Wu Xie has seen him not only once in the illusion.

"Okay, little brother, you can definitely do it." Another voice said, "However, this is also your family's territory."

Zhang Qiling let out a "hmm", then stretched out his long fingers to grope the wall of the passage, and then said indifferently: "No accident, the next fork in the road is."

Another voice hummed, and then Wu Xie saw an extremely familiar face approaching him.

"Brother, what is the use of this thing?"

Zhang Qiling stopped and walked, sometimes groped for the wall, sometimes put his ear against the wall to listen, a voice came from above: "Record."

Wu Xie quickly discerned that he was in an exquisite cage at this time, hung by Zhang Qiling's waist.

There was a big smile on the face in front of him, and he said: "Haha, Ganqing is a live DV, how innocent is this thing? Cut out its brain, connect it to the data cable, and then plug it into your own brain? Brother, we can't do this Treat him cruelly."

Wu Xie wanted to laugh, although he was a snake at this time, and his biological instinct made him have the urge to attack the face in front of him, but he still smiled in his heart.

It is not easy to come across meaningful fragments of pheromone information, and there are these two people in the fragment, which is even more bizarre, and this fragment is one that I have never participated in, and even almost missed forever.Finally read by him, Wu Xie almost wanted to twist his body covered with black scales at this time, but he felt that his body still reflexively slammed into the face in front of him, and of course hit the cage.

Wu Xie didn't feel starved, but heard a curse: "Fuck your grandma, dare to come to have intimate contact with your fat man, I will smoke you to death with my mouth open."

Wu Xie didn't know the expression on his real body's face at this time, but he knew that he hadn't had this kind of excitement for a long time, and it was the excitement that would only be aroused when he was with these two people.

This is the ancient building of the Zhang family in Banai ten years ago, and these two people are his old friends.

The secret about the Zhang family's ancient building has actually been the missing link in the information Wu Xie has collected.The original design pattern of this huge ancient building hidden in the mountain comes from Style Lei.However, after many years, coupled with the special setting and construction of the Zhang family, the movement of the mountain and the movement of Miluotuo and many other factors, many structures have undergone complex changes. It is also impossible to fully solve the mystery.

Wu Xie doesn't have the time and energy to visit the ancient building again, but maybe this illusion can help him solve some unsolved mysteries.

In the illusion produced by pheromones, Wu Xie's perception is not always clear, and after a period of adaptation and discrimination, Wu Xie is sure that Zhang Qiling and Fatty are not ahead of when they first came on the route traveled.This is a completely unfamiliar corridor, the wall is still a whole piece of rock, almost no seams can be seen, as if it was dug directly from the mountain, and the corridor is straight and flat, wide enough for four or five people to pass side by side.

At this time, apart from Zhang Qiling and Fatty, there was no third person in sight.This made Wu Xie even more sure that the illusion at this time was not the one they visited the ancient building for the first time a few years ago. That time, the old lady of the Huo family and others would inevitably follow.

It's actually pretty easy to guess when exactly this is.When he was at the Bronze Gate of Medog, Wu Xie had always had a knot in his heart.I don't know if it was intentional or just a slip of the tongue, but the fat man revealed to him that before Zhang Qiling went to Hangzhou to bid farewell to him ten years ago, he had gone to see him, and he also explained some things related to him.Later, Wu Xie completed those things one after another, but the fat man never said all about the relationship with Zhang Qiling.

Now that I think about it, not only did the two have a conversation, but they even visited the ancient building once again.

Hold.Wu Xie cursed in his heart, the two of them did a damn good job of hiding it from him.

Wu Xie felt the body of a snake at this time, bound in an exquisite cage, and it swayed slightly as Zhang Qiling walked.Zhang Qiling would occasionally place his hands casually on the cage, as if he was completely unafraid of its aggressiveness and venom, maybe his teeth had been pulled out?

The snake should be small in size, and the cage is easily hung on Zhang Qiling's waist like an accessory, and Zhang Qiling's trouser line can be seen from the side.

I can't see it, Poker Bottle still has such a weird habit.Wu Xie smiled in his heart.

After walking for a short while, he saw the fork in the road that Zhang Qiling had mentioned, but what was more striking than the fork in the road was that in the middle of the fork, stood a pillar about as thick as three people hugging each other.

This kind of pillar is not unfamiliar, Wu Xie and the others have seen it in the ancient building.

"What the hell is that on here? Qilin?" the fat man asked, "But it doesn't look quite the same as the one on you, little brother."

Zhang Qiling also stepped forward, and Wu Xie could see at close range that the pattern on it was not a unicorn, but a wild animal.

Pixiu is a kind of auspicious beast recorded in ancient books and folk myths and legends of the Han Dynasty. It has the meaning of absorbing wealth from all directions, and also has the function of driving away evil spirits and bringing good luck.Pixiu is ferocious, while Qilin is a symbol of auspiciousness. At the beginning of the birth of heaven and earth, birds were headed by phoenix, and animals were respected by Qilin.

The difference between the two is quite obvious.But if you look carefully at the pattern on the pillar, it is indeed different. The pillar is covered with patterns in the style of Pixiu, which is quite rare in ancient tombs.And the scales of the unicorn are also mixed in the patterns of these Pixiu, which may be a new type of hybrid beast.

The fat man looked carefully at the Pixiu pattern on the pillar again, and said, "This thing is definitely a mixed race, not as pure as the one tattooed on your body."

Zhang Qiling didn't speak, just stretched out his unusually long two fingers to grope, it seems that it doesn't matter whether it's a Qilin or a Pixiu, what he's looking for is some other details, and he groped very carefully.

Zhang Qiling turned around the pillar several times quickly, until Wu Xie felt a little dizzy, finally stopped, then raised his hand to the top, and tapped a place.After knocking, I saw that the pattern on the pillar suddenly changed, and the upper third of the entire pillar rotated.

This mechanism was obviously cracked by Zhang Qiling, Zhang Qiling then struck the other two places again, and the entire column began to rotate and change patterns at once.

After the blunt and heavy friction sound, the entire column "looks brand new".

"Damn it, it really turned into a unicorn this time." The fat man sighed.

The pattern on the column body didn't know how to recombine, turned, convex and concave. When the rotation of the column stopped, it had changed into a pattern of an auspicious unicorn stepping on the fire and the wind, which was exactly the same as the tattoo pattern on Zhang Qiling's body.

Zhang Qiling stood in front of the pillar, as if he was looking at the unicorn on that pillar, and after a while, said lightly: "It's done."

The two walked to the other side of the column, and at some point, there was a gap on the back of the column that could allow one person to pass through. There was a passage in the gap, which went all the way down to the ground.

"Brother, I dare say there are steps among the pillars in your ancestral grave." The fat man sighed, "It's well hidden."

Wu Xie remembered that the last time he escaped from the ancient building, he walked through the passage inside the pillar. He guessed that maybe the passages hidden in the pillars were connected to form the secret passage in the ancient building, hiding the biggest secret.

Sure enough, Zhang Qiling lifted his foot into the passage and said, "This is a secret passage, only the Zhang family knows."

The fat man was about to follow, but Zhang Qiling stopped suddenly and asked, "Are you still following? It will be very dangerous inside."

Wu Xie sighed inwardly, it really was tricky.Right now, the two of them have obviously entered into a key area, so Zhang Qiling asked Fatty if he wanted to continue to follow. Since he asked this way, Wu Xie thought, with Zhang Qiling's attitude of "my business has nothing to do with you", go further. It must be a very secret and important thing to do it next, and it also has certain dangers.

If he was beside the two of them at this time, he must have dragged the fat man to hug Zhang Qiling's thigh. Seeing that the secret was about to be revealed, how could he let Zhang Qiling run away by himself.

"Brother, if you think my surname is not Zhang, and you are afraid that I will see your baby, then your fat brother will turn around and go back to my old man's place to wash vegetables without saying a word." The fat man said and patted Zhang Qiling on the shoulder. "But the reason of being dangerous really can't scare me. The business between you two is my business. Don't be polite to the fat man."

The fat man did not disappoint, and since the two of them appeared alive and kicking in front of his eyes afterwards, Wu Xie thought that this meant that the danger inside had also been successfully settled.

Zhang Qiling thought for a while, hummed, and then stepped on the stone steps of the passage in the gap, followed by the fat man.

The aisle is narrow, and if a person walks a little, his shoulders will rub against the walls on both sides, and the fat man himself is a size larger than ordinary people, and he almost keeps walking.

The two of them didn't carry much equipment, and the flashlights they carried were also ordinary models, and the range of irradiation was limited.But it can also be seen that this passage is very flat and finely built, the stone steps go down, there will be a wider platform every ten steps, and there are candlesticks for candles on the corresponding walls, even the candlesticks They are all meticulously carved, which shows the particularity of this passage.

After walking for about ten minutes, there were no more steps under the last slow stage, and the two walked into a relatively spacious space, but the light of the flashlight swept it away, and there seemed to be nothing in this space.

"It's over, little brother, we're late." The fat man said, "Your ancestor's treasures have been emptied."

The so-called country is easy to change and nature is hard to change. This fat man always thinks about bright weapons everywhere.But in fact, I also know in my heart that this is Fatty's unique way to relieve the atmosphere, so I can't help but want to laugh.

Zhang Qiling didn't say anything, just looked like he frowned, obviously the scene here was not as expected.

The fat man took another two steps forward, the area swept by the light circle was still empty, but he suddenly said, "Damn it, where is the water dripping down?" He touched his face, and cursed: "Fuck!" , Who the hell is this kid?"

As soon as the words fell, without any warning, a black image suddenly brushed past the two of them like a gust of wind.

In an instant, both of them took a step back instinctively, and at the same time turned to face their backs, making defensive movements.The fat man held a long gun in his hand. The specific model of the gun could not be clearly distinguished, but it was a bit like the one that the ghost provided to Wu Xie and him back then.

Zhang Qiling had an extra long knife in his hand, the whole body of the knife was black. I don't know if it was the one provided by Xie Yuchen, but it should not be the ancient black gold knife that Zhang Qiling carried at the beginning.Because the knife was lying in Wu Xie's shop, at the head of Wu Xie's bed.

In front of him is Zhang Qiling himself, and once the illusion is over, only the knife will be left.

Of course, Wu Xie knew that the focus of attention at this time should not be here. What caught his attention was the reaction of his "body" at this time.

The snake in the cage suddenly arched its body in a posture ready to attack. The snake's reaction seemed to make the two nervous. After all, in dangerous situations, animals are more sensitive than humans.

Both of them stared at the darkness behind them, as if a hidden power was brewing in an invisible place and ready to explode at any time.

The fat man suddenly said: "Brother, what do you think is that?"

Zhang Qiling didn't answer, but made a silent movement with his hands.

Both the fat man and Wu Xie were very familiar with this action, so the fat man stopped talking.In the silence, some faint rustling voices came from behind again.Feeling under attack, Zhang Qiling quickly turned around, the light in his hand shone straight ahead, and within the scope of the aperture, a familiar pattern reappeared.

"Damn it, when did this damn thing come out!" the fat man yelled.

The two were shocked by the sight in front of them, and even Zhang Qiling's face changed color.

A huge unicorn pattern that occupies almost the entire width and height of the space looms in front of you.The scale and size are unusually magnificent, neither like a fresco nor like a relief.What's even more peculiar is that in the change of light and shadow, it is obvious that the scales on the unicorn's body seem to flow with the light waves, shining brightly, it is simply a vivid ancient mythical beast that is about to rise against the wind.

Wu Xie's consciousness was already in an illusion, and seeing things seemed to be separated by a layer of smoke, but at this moment, he was also amazed at the spectacle in front of him.

Wu Xie had conducted a very detailed investigation into the relationship between Qilin Tattoo, Zhang Qiling, and the Zhang family.The tattoo on Zhang Qiling's body, the unicorn pattern, is not a simple totem design, but a very precise topographical map that has been handed down since ancient times.But not in the current sense, but after countless attempts by the ancient Yao people in the land of Banai, they found the safest hunting path in that area.And according to the unicorn tattoo that evolved from the ancient road map, the location of the Zhangjia ancient building can be basically located.

The Zhang family has a genetic disease of amnesia, and Zhang Qiling himself has lost his memory more than once.Wu Xie guessed that this tattoo was originally tattooed on Zhang Qiling's body to help him remember the location of the Zhang family's ancient building, so as to protect the secrets in the ancient building.

Kirin is a very special totem with a high status in myths and legends, and it has always been a symbol of auspiciousness.But the unicorn in front of him seemed to have a faint evil spirit in its agility.

"I said, little brother, can this thing you raised at home listen to you, please let it lie down quietly, I am a little dizzy seeing the fat man." The fat man said.

Zhang Qiling stared at the "Kirin" in front of him, and suddenly said: "They are alive!"

This sentence only pointed out Wu Xie and Fatty. Sure enough, looking at it again, the unicorn was more than one, or the moving object they saw in front of them was not one, but hundreds or thousands of small living creatures. Collection composition.

Then without warning, with an extremely sharp cry, the unicorn instantly transformed into a strange pattern, and then there was a whistling sound, and the pattern quickly approached.

"Back to the side!" Zhang Qiling shouted.

The patterns in the circle of light have been scattered and shapeless, and extremely ugly faces are suddenly revealed, with dark brown body and wings, triangular ears, and the most eerie thing is the sharp canine teeth. They are actually a group of bloodthirsty bats.

The size of each one is not very big, but the number is absolutely amazing.

The bat's echolocation system is also the ancestor of the radar, and the two have nowhere to hide. The countless brown-faced fangs approaching in an instant seem to drag them into hell.Wu Xie was sweating, but then, gunshots rang out.

Fatty can always make the most timely decision in the most urgent time. He is different from Zhang Qiling. Zhang Qiling's experience is far above his. The body's reaction is usually not controlled by the brain, but the body's conditioned reflex.But the fat man can calculate the most effective method in his mind when his body is not familiar with the dangerous situation. Although it may not be the most correct method, it can save his life.

This is also experience, and it is based on will. Wu Xie calls it wisdom. Fatty is indeed a wise partner, no matter what aspect it is.

Gunshots mixed with sharp screams resounded through the entire passage. In the chaos, the gunshots could be seen alarming the entire bat colony. The bat array, which was originally as impenetrable as a wall, was opened. Scary, but actually very timid, they scattered in a short distance from the two of them.The sound of bloodthirsty bats huffing and dancing was still ringing here and there, and just when Wu Xie thought the situation could be stabilized a little, Zhang Qiling suddenly turned backwards.

Zhang Qiling swung the knife out when he landed, the blade cut something, made a blunt impact sound, and at the same time there was a piercing roar-like cry.

As soon as Wu Xie recovered from the 360-degree slewing, he saw a huge bat jumping up in front of him, with a mouth full of white fangs, close at hand, and he was so salivating that the snake was about to vomit.

Compared with the small bats that just rushed up, this one was too huge, and it appeared unexpectedly, rushing up and biting.

This big bat also has a very special feature: there are extremely sharp claws at the end of the five fingers, plus a big mouth full of white and sharp teeth, it looks very terrifying.

The fat man came to his senses and shot at the big bat.The big bat also reacted extremely quickly. It spread its wings to be nearly two meters long, and then took off, but it was still shot twice.

These two shots plus Zhang Qiling's knife slashed just now, not only failed to deter the aura of the big bat, but enraged it on the contrary.When he pounced on Zhang Qiling again, the sound of the wind was shrill.

Zhang Qiling swung the knife again and only slashed the bat wing on one side of the big bat, and was caught by the steel hook-like sharp claws, the sharp claws and long and sharp fangs on the other side went straight to Zhang Qiling's face Door.

Fatty could vaguely see that Zhang Qiling and the bat were torn apart, and it was impossible to distinguish one person from the other. He couldn't shoot like he did just now, so he raised his gun and planned to smash it at the bat.

Zhang Qiling had already sent his knee to hit the center of gravity of the big bat, but was bitten down by the big bat, which was almost in a frantic attack state.

Wu Xie seemed to have heard the sound of fangs piercing into flesh and bones followed by the shattering of bones. Although she knew that Zhang Qiling appeared in front of her eyes intact, her heart still trembled.And because of the extremely close distance, Wu Xie was able to meet the eyes of the big bat, which is really an extremely heinous face.

This bat is very strange both in terms of size and the way it attacks people. When the other bats are all small bats, it is the only one that is so huge and of a different species, which is very rare.Under the almost completely closed ancient tomb, perhaps such a group of bats gathered for unknown reasons gradually experienced some changes.

Wu Xie heard Zhang Qiling take a deep breath, but suddenly the scene in front of him was reversed. To be precise, there was a rotation first, because Zhang Qiling seemed to twist his waist violently, bursting out with strength, and threw the snake cage out.

When Wu Xie was able to see the situation clearly again, Zhang Qiling was already kneeling on the ground, and he could vaguely see something between his knees, struggling vigorously, but then Zhang Qiling raised the knife and fell, thumping in the darkness. Things settled down after a few clicks.

"Fuck, brother, you're still awesome." The fat man held the gun back in his hand and sighed.

Zhang Qiling stood up slowly, and he could see he hesitated a little in his posture, obviously the injury to his leg was not serious.

Zhang Qiling picked up the flashlight, and the moment he swept the light behind him, Wu Xie saw the unicorn pattern from before again.

But this time the pattern is different, it is quiet and motionless, and the unicorn has resumed its jumping cloud-riding shape, which is a huge stone slab similar to a relief.

Just now it looks like the pattern is alive because of the small bats clustered on it.

But when the two were about to observe in detail, suddenly there was a sound of strong movement of air from above their heads, and the light swept upwards, and both of them gasped: just less than ten meters above, there were more than a dozen hanging upside down. A monster the size of a bat whose head had just been decapitated by Zhang Qiling.

The big bats seemed to have just been awakened by the noise, and they spread their wings, and the black wings covered their heads for a while.

"Fuck his grandma!" the fat man scolded, "Dare you still have so many backup troops!"

Wu Xie was in a bad mood, just one was difficult enough, if more than a dozen pounced on them, Zhang Qiling and Fatty would have to be ripped apart.However, it seems that some turning points have been thought of.

Although these bat monsters are strange, they are beasts after all, they are alive, and living things must be eaten.The two of them had checked the entire space just now, and it couldn't be bigger, not to mention that there was no prey for this group of bats to hunt and kill, not even bat droppings.Obviously, this cannot be the main activity space for the bats, there must be another way out.

Sure enough, Zhang Qiling also seemed to have noticed the problem, raised his hand and pressed the fat man's gun, and moved slowly towards the wall. Seeing Zhang Qiling's calm demeanor, the fat man also moved slowly.

The snake cage was thrown out and hit the "unicorn wall", and was bounced back a certain distance, but Wu Xie had already heard a change in the direction of the wall.

The entire wall suddenly made a muffled sound, like a gate, and began to fall slowly, and what came through the opened gap was the afterglow of the setting sun.

Gradually the sound of the wind flapping the wings of bats, large and small, from far to near, became more and more intense.Almost instantly, all the bats in the cave roared past, rushed out of their nests, and flew into the night outside.
