Chapter 31 The image of misfortune from divination
Could it be that, just like the illusion last time on the Island of the Dead, their corpses were hanging on it?
Carlos observed carefully, and the more they looked, the more they resembled each other, and he could even tell who was who from the size of the corpses.
“What do you mean? You want to seduce us to commit suicide again?” he said.
"I don't know, let's go and have a look." Before Yu Xing finished speaking, he had already started walking towards the tree. The others noticed their actions and wanted to stop them, but when they saw Carlos following them, they gave up.
Half of the heart, let them go as they please.
Walking to the foot of the tree, Yu Xing walked around and looked around.
These corpses were wearing white shrouds that were too simple, like two pieces of cloth spliced together. Inside were their own clothes, with nothing missing except shoes and socks.
So the clothes of the team members are clearly visible in their eyes.
"Sure enough." Yu Xing raised his eyebrows and walked under the slender figure. Judging from the figure, this should be his "corpse".
He came to the bottom and avoided the bird carcasses that fell to the ground and were washed to pieces by the rain. He looked at the height of the carcasses and considered climbing up a tall tree to take a look.
The two of them have not told anyone else that the corpse is theirs. After all, they are deducers. They have seen too many supernatural events and have experience in dealing with various types.
While other team members have only robbed tombs and have seen zombies and ghosts, they rush to accept new things, which will inevitably cause unnecessary commotion.
Yu Xing adjusted his sleeves and checked the integrity of his leather gloves. He stayed away from the other team members and climbed directly onto the tree trunk without looking a bit delicate.
After thinking about it, he still kept a certain distance from the tree trunk, pulled out the dagger, and stabbed it neatly into the tree trunk, using it as a support point, with his legs bent and firmly fixed.
“You can climb trees?” Carlos was a little surprised.
Yu Xing smiled, his eyes exposed by the mask were crooked: "I know a little bit of everything, so I can live a good life."
“How can you say that?” Carlos vaguely felt that there was a profound meaning in these words, but he could not understand anything.
Yu Xing turned his head and started to climb up. He was very fast and his posture was skillful. I don’t know what kind of tree this was, which was seven or eight stories high. The trunk was rough and easy to climb.
He also found traces of previous climbing on the tree trunk, a few pieces of bark that had fallen off, and some small cracks left by the same insertion of sharp tools.
Yu Xing paused in his climbing movements, ignored Carlos's question "What happened?" and carefully studied the size of the crack.
He hugged the tree trunk, pulled out the dagger, and compared it with the dagger not far from his head.
“…Exactly the same?” He murmured, “What do you mean, not only is the corpse ours, but we are also the ones hanging the corpse?”
Things are really a little weird.
He continued to climb, and after finding the branch where his body was hanging, he easily climbed up and stood firmly.
On the other side, the team that had been vigilant for a long time did not find any suspicious persons. Lin and Will were not finished yet, so they guarded the two people, put down their weapons, and observed the surroundings.
"Oh? Ah Shi, look!" Shijiu spotted San standing on a high place and pulled Ash in surprise, "He's really good at it."
Ash followed her gaze and looked over, thinking in his eyes: "That's right, that branch is very thin and has poor load-bearing capacity. It's already difficult to hang a corpse. But San stood on it and didn't even need to support it.
Trunks, his balance and courage can be ranked in the top thirty in our organization."
His Chinese is not good, his poetry and wine make his ears hurt, and he regrets discussing this with Ash.
“Is he trying to lift the corpse’s hair?” Yunika crossed her chest and raised her head, her big eyes full of curiosity.
She was very interested in this newcomer, not only because of his appearance that attracted her, but also because of the sense of mystery that he was always hiding something.
The most important thing is that she has taken the initiative to answer the other party's conversation several times, but the other party still looks lukewarm, just like Will, like a piece of wood.
Several people from the tomb robber family followed Mr. Li and watched Yu Xing's movements carefully. They also wanted to know what kind of face was under the long hair, was it a human or a ghost?
Yu Xing walked towards the branch step by step, and the area under his feet became smaller and smaller. In the second half, Yu Xing felt like he was walking on a horizontal bar. He didn't need to slightly open his arms to maintain balance, because he discovered that the tree's
The branches were very tough, and after bearing his weight, they only swayed slightly, and were still far from the safe zone.
He just put his hands in his pockets and strolled by without any problem.
But he felt several scorching gazes surrounding him, so he had no choice but to stretch out his arms in a pretentious manner and show it to everyone in a cautious manner. Then he stopped where he could reach the body and squatted down.
The corpse was extremely close to him, and Yu Xing's breathing was a little rapid. This was his corpse!
He could immediately see a completely dead, lifeless, pale corpse named Yu Xing who would never open his eyes again. This was a brand new feeling that he had never experienced before, and it was a bit small when he thought about it.
happy!
Yu Xing stretched out his hand and touched the messy hair on the top of the corpse's head. He calmed down, inserted his index finger into the hair in front of the corpse's face, and slowly raised it in his direction.
That touch of skin was indeed as pale as he expected.
Continuing to hook up, a pair of phoenix eyes are also exposed. Because the eyes are closed, the phoenix eyes are more narrow and long. Under the eyes are a high bridge of the nose and cyanotic lips. Due to the poor blood flow, the face is very swollen, and the beautiful skin is covered with
It was almost ruined. It was undeniable that this was the ugliest version of himself that Yu Xing had ever seen.
When the whole face was completely exposed, before Yu Xing had time to spit, the face suddenly seemed to be dried into powder. As a gust of wind dissipated, the head suddenly turned into a skeleton, and the hair became
A handful of them fell to the ground.
"Why, I can't see it yet?" Yu Xing muttered. He was sure that it was because he saw the "true face" of the corpse that the head of the corpse was blown away.
The head is gone, but the body is still there.
Yu Xing did not let go of his body. He saw that this simple shroud had two large pockets sewn on it. Since there were pockets, they must contain something else.
Unfortunately, the pocket position is not easy for him to reach.
After thinking about it, Yu Xing brought the dagger close to the string hanging the corpse, made two malicious gestures, and then
The body fell vertically. Carlos, who was looking up out of curiosity, was almost hit on the head. He avoided it in a panic, and the body fell in front of him. Carlos couldn't bear it and shouted to Yu Xing on the tree: "Holy shit."
, can you say it first!"
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do it!" Yu Xing shouted louder than him, sincerely and sounding aggrieved, "I didn't know you were under it."
Everyone in the team glared at Carlos.
"Carlos, don't be mean to him. Isn't he nervous up there alone? He must not have noticed you." Yunika actually saw that Yu Xing was teasing Carlos, and the corners of her lips raised in a very malicious way.
Added some fire.
“That’s it, Carlos, why don’t you climb up yourself? Do you want me to tell you that you never perform high-altitude magic because you are afraid of heights?” Shijiu smiled.
Mr. Li: "Is this kid still afraid of heights?"
Uncle Zhang: “It turns out he is afraid of heights.”
Ash: “Are you afraid of heights? Then you can’t do many things.”
Eunika: “It’s so shameless to say “san” even if you are afraid of heights.”
ˆ Carlos: “……”
Okay, very good, look at the faces of these people who are just enjoying the fun!
Just shout "Fight! Fight!", okay?
You really have a new handsome guy, so you don’t need the old handsome guy.
Yu Xing saw that his goal was achieved, with a smile in his eyes, and jumped before anyone could react.
He jumped directly from such a high place, and the team members who were paying attention to him screamed in their throats. He had already kicked on the tree, using the reaction force to alleviate part of the impact, and rolled around on the ground, safe.
Landed.
Shijiu and Uncle Zhang ran towards this side, and Carlos was also startled. His eyes were complicated: "Are you performing a jumping machine... You don't need to do this to save time."
"No, I just thought it would be troublesome to climb down. There was a lot of bird blood and dried carrion on the tree bark. I didn't want to touch it a second time." Yu Xing squatted down and groped in the pocket of his body for a while.
Pulled out a crumpled piece of paper.
The paper is folded and the contents inside cannot be seen.
Uncle Zhang ran to Yu Xing's side and scolded: "Young man is really fooling around. He's so tall and breaks his leg. What should we do next?"
"I won't break my leg, Uncle Zhang, I have a sense of propriety." Yu Xing opened the folded paper and responded to Uncle Zhang with a smile.
Uncle Zhang frowned: "You are so measured, are you injured?"
Shijiu looked at him for a while and said with certainty: "He is not injured."
Yu Xing also shook his head and his eyes fell on the paper in his hand.
There are words on the paper, and the scarlet color of the words can be seen through the back of the paper, and a faint smell of blood wafts from the paper.
He looked over calmly and saw a sentence written in a very wild and scrawled style on the white paper with blood-colored ink marks.
【This is your future!!】
Carlos, Uncle Zhang, Shijiu both saw this sentence, and Uncle Zhang asked in a low voice: "What do you mean, this is our future? That thing hanging the human corpse here is threatening those who come after?"
A card flew towards me with the sound of breaking wind. Yu Xing did not avoid it. It hit the paper in Yu Xing's hand and nailed it to a tree not far away.
The three of spades card echoes the scarlet color on the paper, as if foreshadowing something ominous.
Immediately afterwards, a black liquid gushes out from the surface of the card, and the entire card melts silently as if it has been dipped in strong sulfuric acid.
The paper was not affected in any way. After the cards melted, the black liquid disappeared out of thin air, and the paper fell to the ground quietly, leaving no trace of the back shot.
“It melted.” Carlos looked at his playing cards and his expression became rarely solemn. “The spades melted, which represents death and irreversibility. Both results will be linked to the content on this piece of paper.”
If you want to make an analysis of the result of Carlos's hand of cards and flying knives, it would be
Death, becoming a corpse hanging on a tree, this result cannot be changed.
“It’s not so absolute.” Yu Xing thought for a moment and felt it was impossible.
What cannot be changed is the plot trend of this world, but there can never be a predetermined result regarding the fate of each deducer, because the deducer is here to break the result.
Now that there are two deducers like him and Carlos present, how could it be possible that he was already destined to die here?
Putting aside Carlos's strength, as far as he is concerned, it is impossible for him to die so completely, because he can be resurrected without the power studied by the demon.
So the result obtained by Carlos must have a loophole to exploit, but nothing has happened yet, so it is difficult to think of the direction of the loophole.
But this information has diluted the relaxed atmosphere. Weird things happen to oneself, and it is always much more terrifying if it happens to oneself than to others.
While the four people were thinking about the words on the paper, there was a commotion from several people on the other side.
ifies
Will and Lin spit out a mouthful of black blood almost at the same time, and then fell limply. The people close to them quickly caught them, their eyes wide and confused.
"what happened!"
Yu Xing heard the noise and thought. Looking at this situation, Will and Lin should have seen something terrible being swallowed up.
He had determined the identities of the corpses on the tree, and the corpses no longer attracted him. He dropped himself on the ground and ran back to the main army.
Lin's face was pale, his brows were furrowed, and the corners of his mouth were still bleeding. He was supported by Yunika, with the back of his head resting on Yunika's chest, and veins appeared on his thin arms.
“The geomantic omen of these corpses is too turbid. I just glanced at them and they became an outlet for the chaotic atmosphere.” He gasped violently. “You can’t look at them. They symbolize terrible images.”
Will's condition was even worse. Big beads of sweat oozed from his forehead and temples. He was trembling all over and there was strong fear in his eyes.
He was not only repulsed, he was also really frightened.
“Will, what did you hear?” Mr. Li was the calmest person present. He gave Will a sip of water and kept comforting him.
Will communicates with the undead and can convey such strong fear. In the words of Will's hometown, could it be that he has summoned a demon or an evil spirit?
"I..." Will was lost in thought. He grabbed Mr. Li's hand and seemed to calm down some of his fear. "It said that I was the one who killed it..."
"How is that possible?" Everyone who heard it gasped. Uncle Zhang came over to examine them. The man with glasses said, "You met an undead ghost who told lies. Did it say who it was?"
Will closed his eyes and endured the shock he just received: "It said, its name is, Will."
Will used a Ouija board to summon an undead Will. Did Will kill Will?
Everyone felt a chill in their hearts, and they were keenly aware of one thing.
That's right, here are twelve corpses, there are twelve of them.
Yu Xing and Carlos didn’t need to remind them, they also noticed it.
Will continued to tell: "It didn't lie. I asked it about my childhood, and it knew everything..."
