Chapter 40 The Object of the Altar
Chapter 40 The Altar
A gunshot sounded, and a bullet almost flew over Hu Bayi's face.
The three-eyed tower abdomen that flew towards him instantly exploded into a pool of green mucus, splashing his head and face.
It was the fat man who changed the magazine in time and shot him to relieve Hu Bayi's danger of biting his face.
Hu Bayi and Xiao Ran also changed the magazines one after another. The three of them continued to shoot and retreat, but they were still doing useless work after all. The only thing that is to be thankful is that these living dead people with pus aeruginosa have been rigid for decades and are now acting extremely slowly.
Since it was a three-eyed tower abdomen, it would be easy to solve it. While the fat man was fully fired, Xiao Ran quickly ran to the valve in the middle of the corridor.
Seeing this, Hu Bayi shouted to the fat man: "Stand up, and retreat when you call you!"
He ran to Xiao Ran, and the two of them tried hard together, and the switch turned "crunched".
After a sound, a large amount of salt gushed out from the openings above both sides of the wall, like a quicksand trap in a tomb that prevents tomb robbery.
"Fatty, take it away!"
The fat man stopped his gun when he heard the sound, and before the salt waterfall could touch him, he turned around and ran towards the iron gate.
The salt waterfall poured down, giving the shaking pus aeruginosa zombies a large salt shower. The salt mixed with the exposed pus and was quickly melted and absorbed.
These zombies twitched and fell down like short-circuited robots. But their bodies were still twisting and struggling, and some of their skin kept bulging, and big holes burst out.
A large number of three-eyed tower abdomen crawled out of the hole, and at least a dozen were lived in each corpse.
These disgusting insects were bigger than those who were about to die in the coffin above. Their bodies were obese and swollen, and their velvets stood densely and their eye handles twisted flexibly.
They jumped actively on the corpses, like huge and strange fat maggots, and some of them tried to jump toward the three living people next to the iron gate, but were all wrapped in the pouring salt particles. Their bodies were quickly lost to water and shriveled. After spraying out a few mouthfuls of pus aeruginosa, they lay down and stopped moving.
After a while, the flow of salt gradually stopped, and the gray-white salt grains were covered with a layer on the floor of the spacious passage, almost covering the fallen corpses.
The entire passage finally calmed down. Xiao Ran took the lead and walked carefully to the corpses. Most of the corpses were separated from bones and flesh, and the carrion turned into a viscous semi-solid form, and mixed with nearby salt particles into a green rotten slurry.
The three-eyed tower abdomen that had broken their bodies had become empty skins, like strange-shaped air-leak balloons, scattered softly around them.
"This little Japanese devil is so cruel. I don't let him go... There is also a German devil!"
The fat man's tone was a little surprised. He used the engineer's shovel to pick up a pile of gray military uniforms with green meat paste and broken bones. This person was the one who led the lead in kneeling in the front just now.
"It seems that this is the German mentioned in Imai's diary. He brought these things here. Judging from their appearance, they may have been controlled by the three-eyed tower abdomen and became that bullshit believer." Xiao Ran said.
The fat man didn't care. He looked at the Knight's Iron Cross in the military uniform and his eyes shone: "There is also an Iron Cross. Is this thing worth a little money, right?"
Hu Bayi looked disgusted: "That broken thing is almost soaked in green soup, and you don't feel disgusted. There is also a word on it. Chinese people don't care about this thing, so foreigners may not dare to accept it, so throw it away quickly!"
The fat man had no choice but to throw the pair of rags on the ground and apply a shovel with a clean pile of salt.
"Now that it's quiet, don't waste time. Take a look, just take a look if you have nothing to take."
Hu Bayi finally took the initiative to propose, but Xiao Ran felt a little upset. He could instinctively feel that although these pus aeruginosa were a little disgusting, they were just a trick. The huge monster figure in his mind could not be removed.
He thought about it, but decided to say, "Let's go, let's go and go back quickly."
The three of them carefully returned to the secret room again. There was nothing inside, only the large circular pool that raised like a flower bed, lying silently in the middle under the blockade of iron chains, and from time to time, one or two turbid bubbles appeared on the dark water surface.
Xiao Ran noticed that there was a small altar in front of the previous officer, but it was blocked by the corpse just now.
It is said to be an altar, but it is actually a square stone pier with a height of about thirty centimeters. The surface above is slightly tilted, and there is also a broken book covered with dust.
Xiao Ran bent down and looked carefully. The book should have been handwritten, and the text was reddish-brown, and it seemed to be written in blood. But he couldn't tell which country the text on it was from, but it was definitely not in Japanese, let alone in English.
He flipped through it casually. From the typeface, these words were very rhythmic. Combined with the words "believers" in Imai's diary, these were probably a prayer.
The altar, prayer, and the direction of kneeling... Xiao Ran suddenly raised his head, as if he felt the iron chain on the pool shaking slightly.
The object of their kneeling worship is in this pool!
He suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of fear, just like after watching a horror movie, he went to the bathroom by himself in the middle of the night, and always felt like there was a ghost behind him, and his instinct drove him to turn around and run away.
"What a broken thing?"
The fat man suddenly came over, Xiao Ran's thoughts were broken, his body was slightly shocked, and the inexplicable sense of fear disappeared, making him feel that his condition just now was a bit incredible.
The fat man grabbed the notebook and flipped it over, frowned and said loudly: "Good belly oil, little belly! Three grams of yarui oil, Emas!"
Hu Bayi came up to take a look and asked the fat man: "What are you talking nonsense? Is it like you pronounced? Why do I listen to at least the three languages?"
"Hey, I don't know you anyway, I'll just play around with it. I don't know what the devils in these two countries are doing."
As he said that, he handed the book to Xiao Ran. Xiao Ran hesitated for a moment, took it and put it in his carry-on bag.
"What is this?" Hu Bayi said, "There should be something inside, there is a handle..."
At this time, Xiao Ran and Fatty noticed that in the center of the altar stone pier, there seemed to be a lid, and there was a small protrusion below. On the stone lid, there was also a nine-petal chrysanthemum logo, which were previously covered by the handwritten book.
Hu Bayi held the small handle of the lid and gently lifted it. There was a groove inside, stuffed with white paper talismans, just like the ones hanging outside the air-tight door.
In the pile of paper talismans, there is a small gray square. It is not obvious what material it is, but it does not look like jade.
The edges above and on the left side of the small square are smooth, while the other sides are a bit rough, which looks like they were knocked down from a whole object. There is also a "Tian" in the middle of the square.
Xiao Ran subconsciously reached out to get it, but the moment his fingertips touched the block, he suddenly seemed to be electrocuted, and some strange images instantly appeared in his mind.
