[Bottle Evil] The Old Mansion's Strange Story

I looked up at the tall coffin bed, the wound on my thigh was still aching, it would definitely be torn open after such a jump.I didn't care, but Poker-Face saw through it and didn't talk nonsense, let alone ask for my consent. He hugged my waist from behind and picked me up and sent me up.

I stretched my arms, took a deep breath, pulled to the edge of the coffin bed, kicked up with the leg that was not shot, and the oil bottle dragged my buttocks to push me. But the wound really didn't open.

Poker-Face took a step back, leaped lightly, and crawled to my side.The coffin bed was as tall as a person. When we looked down, the cloud of white mist was gradually rising and had already covered the coffin where the fat man and the fourth child were hiding. However, the shape of the coffin could still be vaguely seen, indicating that the bugs had avoided the coffin.

"What kind of bug is it? I didn't see any bugs flying out of those holes above, let alone growing out of the sand." I asked Poker Bottle.

Poker-Face nodded and said, "Insect eggs are in the sand, and they don't usually grow. When they come into contact with the things painted on the floor of the tomb, they will come out immediately."

Poker bottle told me that the sand mantis and a plant can be regarded as a symbiotic relationship. Their eggs rely on the juice of that plant to "hatch" adults. After the insects die, they become the necessary nutrients for the plants.We haven't looked closely at the floor of the tomb, and we can only know what was painted on it, but what Pokerfing said is probably correct.

When the eggs in the sand fall to the ground, just like a chemical reaction occurs, the eggs turn into insects and fly up, and the eggs on the upper layer fall again and touch the ground again, so they gather more and more underground.As for the white mist produced, it may be the redundant product of the "chemical reaction", which will cause a burning sensation to the human skin, and redness and swelling if the reaction is obvious.

I immediately thought, what would happen if people or animals inhaled that kind of insect mist, and there was no plant juice in their bodies, wouldn't the insects die?But Poyoufeng said that once the sand mantis enters the body of a human or animal, not only will it not die, but it will suck blood instead.They enter human blood vessels or organs, gather together, and are like leeches, constantly sucking blood, and people will be sucked empty from the inside.But the blood is actually still in the human body, to be precise, it is in the body of the bug.

There is only one kind of blood that can restrain them, that is Qilin blood.Sand mantis worms can't suck the blood of unicorns at all, and they may be "poisonous" to them. The worms are not stupid, and they will instinctively avoid them.

Pokerfoil felt the sand accumulated in the corners of the bronze coffin and the coffin bed, checking whether the juice was applied and whether there were any insects.He sniffed his fingers, seemed to be slightly relieved, looked at me again, and said, "Wrap up the wounds on your hands too, otherwise your blood may attract them once it loses its effectiveness."

I immediately went to get a bandage, he was right, I don't want those bugs to suck my blood too.

"This bug is quite rare, I have never heard of it before."

Poker bottle said: "Someone raised this kind of worm in a special way, probably for blood collection."

blood?When human blood leaves the body, it will slowly coagulate, so if the temperature and liquid state of the blood are to be maintained, a "container" is needed.Poker bottle said that after this kind of bug sucked human blood, it would be blown apart slowly, but the corpse of the bug would form a special membrane.Countless worm membranes will form a sphere, wrap the blood in it, and keep the blood in the human body.

Therefore, the dead person looks dry on the outside, but there will be some big swellings on the body, which will spurt blood when poked, and the person is almost like a human skin blood bag.

This is really a high-end plasma bag, but it is also really cruel.I suddenly thought of the blood on the wall of the tomb. Could it be that the blood came from the "blood bag" formed by the body of the person who was invaded by the sand mantis insects after death.It's fucking perverted.

And who raised this kind of worm? Does he need a lot of fresh blood? The amount is so large that it is not enough to kill a few people to bleed, but to use worms to slaughter, and then store the corpses for use and poke them to complete a certain task Huge project?

It turns out that during the time of Khitan, there was a rampant terrorist organization?

I suddenly realized that the tomb itself seemed to be beyond my cognition.It looks like a mausoleum, with a female corpse in a bright red uniform, with some disguise, and an exquisite mechanism.But these judgments come from the combined analysis of it and my previous knowledge. If that knowledge doesn't apply here at all, I may simply copy it mechanically.

It's like I saw an object that looked like an apple, but it was blue, with skin, flesh and core, but all the characteristics were different from ordinary apples, so I concluded that it was an unusual one. blue apple.But in reality, it might not be an apple at all, or even a fruit.I was blinded by its shape, size, structure, etc., because the concept of Apple was too preconceived and deep.

In other words, this "tomb" may not be a tomb at all, it is a tomb, or a relic of an alien civilization. The probability of these two things may not be much different—both are close to zero.

I asked my question, but Poyoufeng was noncommittal. He told me to stand up, and then used a flashlight to shine on the lid of the bronze coffin.

We stood at a corner of the coffin bed, and this angle was just enough to see the entire coffin lid clearly. I also took a photo with my flashlight, and suddenly felt a buzzing in my head.

On the lid of the bronze coffin, there was a familiar pattern engraved, which was the snake head on the ring worn by the fourth child.

And it's not just one, but countless snake heads like that, but they are not densely arranged, but nested one by one, and a small snake head can be seen in the mouth of each big snake head.Looking into it with human eyes, there is an illusion of being swallowed by the bloody snake mouth, and it is extremely disgusting.

My brain hurts watching it, because of this visual effect, my eyes are naturally drawn to the middlemost and smallest snake head.I saw it and took a breath, it was just right, about the size of a ring, and it was still a groove.Apparently, that ring should have been stuck here in the first place.

"What they want to take is what was originally placed in the middle." Poker Ping said.

They should be referring to the Zhang family with bad intentions.What does the Zhang family want such a ring for, and what does taking this ring have to do with Qilin's blood.

Poker Bottle saw my confusion, pointed to the groove in the middle, and said, "Only by using blood as a guide can I use it."

Looking at the lines on the snake's head, I suddenly realized that it is not only a pattern, but also a complicated mechanism.It's similar to the iron plate that Xiaohua and I saw in Sichuan back then, but we activated that iron plate when we sprinkled pig blood on it. This, I'm afraid only Qilin blood can do it.

I was still puzzled, and said: "This tomb is really not designed by your Zhang family, why can only the blood of your family be used everywhere."

Poker bottle thought for a while, and said, "No, Qilin blood is not a reference, but a loophole."

I nodded, thinking that most of the information related to unicorn blood that I had come into contact with before seemed to be like this.There are many strange mechanisms in ancient tombs that only Qilin blood can decipher, and many strange poisons that only Qilin blood can restrain.For example, the snake-head pattern mechanism here, such as the sand mantis, and the female rice dumpling lying below.I always thought it stopped because the figure was controlled, but it seems that it gradually calmed down after Poker Fing's waist was scratched, maybe it was also because of fear of Qilin blood?Just like the female zongzi who knelt down to Poker Bottle when we were in the corpse cave in Shandong.

But those traps couldn't have been set up just to wait for the Zhang family to crack it, and those poisons wouldn't be designed to leave loopholes for the Zhang family.

Is this ancient and mysterious bloodline owned by the Zhang family at the beginning, or has it been enjoyed since the Zhang family was given the mission of protecting the ultimate, so that they can rely on it to navigate the dangers of the ancient tomb and ensure the biggest secret? be preserved.

We don't know a lot of things anymore, and I'm actually not curious anymore.It's just that every time I think about it, there is still a feeling of destiny.It's the same for the Zhang family, it's the same for Poker Ping, and it's probably the same for me now.

Ever since my grandfather gave me the name "Wu Xie", it has been difficult for me to get out of it.

Even now that the dust has settled, the end itself will be a long process.It's like an earthquake, it's all over, but unfortunately there are aftershocks, if we want to survive, we still have to fight.

But I have already thought about it, and I don't even bother to swear.Damn.

I looked at the lines on the coffin lid, and remembered that the figure used blood as a guide to open the mechanism and take off the ring, but at the same time activated the big mechanism in the tomb, and was trapped, so I asked Poker Bottle: "What should I do now?" , this organ has to be brought back with blood?"

Poker bottle has already answered me with actions, he opened his palm, and the wound opened again.

Fortunately, the lines on the snake's head are small, and it probably doesn't need much blood. A few drops of blood were poured on the Poker Bottle, and the blood quickly filled a large area.

I stared intently, but Poker Ping shook his head and said, "It won't work."

I sighed, this mechanism can only be activated with blood, but it cannot be closed with blood. The figure should have dripped blood before he came down, and if we feed it blood now, it won't want it anymore.

After the failure, I thought about other possibilities. After all, the figure survived and restored the mechanism. First killed the Zhang family, and then came to kill us this time, which shows that there is still a way out.

Poker bottle looks calm, his appearance makes me feel at ease.

He seemed to have expected that the blood would not work, so he took out something from his pocket.

At this time, the white mist and cricket flies had spread all over our bodies. Fortunately, my blood was still effective, and there was only a thin layer around us.

I saw the snake head ring in his hand that was confiscated from the fourth child. I didn't know what Poker Face was going to do, but he just stared at me, as if he was thinking about something.

"Oh." So I said, "I do."

Poker-Face clicked his tongue, and pointed to the looming female zongzi in the mist below: "Maybe we can use it."
