Mo Xiao couldn't bear to look at it. If he could find a complete piece of meat among the more than ten walking corpses, he could be considered as having accumulated good deeds in his previous life.
"The contamination has been eliminated." Mysterious Pendant said, and everyone praised Patty's behavior. "This is the right thing to do, be decisive, blast the opponent until there is nothing left, and use flames and explosions to bring a smile to the enemy."
"Stop smiling." Ye Xiaoying felt frightened. If such an attack fell on herself, she would probably not be able to survive. "Where does the so-called pollution come from? What does it have to do with the monster hunter?"
Yes, the pollution must have a source. Monster hunters can be infected, which means they are also in the same crisis. What happened to this group of monster hunters? Where are the remaining monster hunters?
The mysterious pendant cautiously reminded: "The pollution naturally comes from the demon world. The research conducted by these demon hunters here seems to have violated some kind of taboo. I'm afraid these walking corpses are just a small addition." Mo Xiao couldn't help but swallowed. If this is a topping, what is the main course?
He couldn't help but think of the rotting corpses called "Dead Skeletons" he encountered in the demon world, which were so similar to the situation just now. Could it be that the walking corpses transformed by the demon hunters were the "Dead Skeletons" that appeared in the real world.
After finishing dealing with the zombies in the pit, everyone began to move forward to the tunnel on the right along the blood stains. The blood stains were intermittent. Fortunately, the residual smell of blood could not be concealed by the bell. Here they found many artificially dug stone cave rooms.
Judging from the beds and some long-abandoned living utensils inside, this was originally a place where people lived.
Ye Xiaoying was attracted by one of the rooms. She motioned to everyone to wait, then walked into the room, waved her hand to sweep away the fallen dust, and focused her eyes on a small item on the bed.
It was a rag doll sewn from coarse cloth.
"Is it left by the ancients? There were children here before?" Mo Xiao took a closer look and said in surprise.
"I don't know, but there should be more than just monster hunters living here." Ye Xiaoying glanced at the furnishings in the room, "This seems like a place for ordinary people to live."
Shu Mo asked: "How can you tell?"
"The residence of monster hunters is different from that of ordinary people. They need to undergo various trainings on a daily basis. There is usually a weapon rack in the room that they commonly use, and the drawing of talismans requires the use of paper and paint. No matter how good the monster hunters are,
Prepare some where you live."
"But along the way, I hardly saw these things in these caves where people live. They are very common daily necessities, and now I also found a rag doll."
"Could they be ordinary people being imprisoned?" Mo Xiao pinched his chin and said, but after speaking, he denied his guess, "These cave rooms have no doors or locks. It is wrong to say that they are used to imprison people.
."
"If it's not imprisonment, then it's voluntary."
Ye Xiaoying looked at the stone cone hoe in the corner and said in a deep voice: "It can voluntarily allow a large number of ordinary people to live in the dark underground. I guess the tunnels under the temple... No, the underground palace structure is jointly hired by monster hunters and officials.
Built by ordinary people."
"An official family? Why an official family?" Shu Mo continued to ask.
"Because monster hunters will not cooperate with bandits." This time it was Xue Yue who took the initiative to speak. She was not young and knew a lot. "The group of monster hunters has a so-called sense of honor and will not collude with 'evil'.
In their eyes, bandits and robbers are naturally members of the 'evil'."
"So it's justice for them to hunt monsters?" Shu Mo mocked.
Ye Xiaoying spread her hands: "In their mindset, monsters are equal to evil. Even if there are monsters that do good things, they are just 'reforming evil' and can save their lives, but they must be sealed."
Mo Xiao couldn't help but cursed: "What kind of gangster logic is this? Did they throw people into the toilet ditch because they were originally good-natured?"
"But we are monsters." Xue Yue said helplessly.
Mo Xiao said angrily: "That's a truth!"
Seeing his angry look, Xue Yue could not help but feel a sense of warmth in her heart.
"Come and take a look."
Ye Xiaoying gently tapped the doll's eyes: "This is what caught my attention."
The eye was originally a small transparent bead, but when she touched it, it suddenly changed. The eyeball emitted a beam of dim light. When the light shone on the wall, like a projector, a picture suddenly appeared on the wall.
images.
Ye Xiaoying explained: "This is a photobead. Monster hunters used to like to use this thing to record information. Unfortunately, only the monster hunters know how to make it."
The image is sometimes clear and sometimes blurry, but fortunately there is no problem with viewing. The beginning of the image shows a man giving the doll to a little girl. Judging from the dark surroundings, they were already underground when the image began to be recorded.<
/p>
The little girl looked very happy, holding the doll almost every step of the way. Through the doll's "eyes", Mo Xiao and the others saw the researchers here making a red powdery substance, and then sending the powder to the people working here.
Ordinary people take it.
The little girl's parents were with her, and many of the handymen who lived underground had their families. At least one person in every household had taken this powder, and it was her who took the red powder in the little girl's family.
Father.
Next are some daily chores. Ye Xiaoying operates the photo beads to fast forward. During the fast forwarding process, the onlookers can clearly see some subtle changes in the user.
The wrinkles on his face have diminished, and the white hair on his temples has turned black again, making him look younger.
However, this change did not last long, and the user began to age faster, and soon became older than before. Compared with the little girl, this time transition did not exceed one year.
Some handymen gradually died of old age, and their bodies were thrown into the deep pit that Mo Xiao and the others had seen before. Because the red powder failed, the researchers began to add a brand new substance to the powder, a strange substance like black mist.<
/p>
After adding this substance, the powder produced turned black. After taking it again for the already old people, the effect was very significant, and they quickly regained their youth. However, before the researchers were happy, stronger sequelae followed.
Come.
The users went berserk one after another, or went crazy.
They tore at their bodies crazily, not stopping even when they were bloody and bloody. They became infinitely more powerful and had a strong desire to destroy. When dealing with this group of berserkers, judging from the magic-breaking light they used,
These researchers are monster hunters.
The last scene of the image is the little girl's mother taking her away from the cave where they have lived for a long time, and never coming back. Whether she is alive or dead, who knows what happened hundreds of years ago?
