The history of the ancient houses that have not yet been demolished in the Chaotian Mountain villa area can be traced back hundreds of years. During the Republic of China, the country was in turmoil and everyone was in danger. So in order to escape the war and disputes, our ancestors came to Chaotian Mountain to live in seclusion.
Life.
The ancient house here has been almost demolished, and all that remains is the most remote mud house.
It is getting late, and there is no moonlight tonight. There are street lights on the roads in the villa area, but part of the villa area that is still under construction has not been developed yet.
In the dusk, there seemed to be a figure flashing through the woods in the villa area, but it seemed like just a cool breeze blowing by.
In front of the ancient house on Chaotian Mountain, a black figure stopped in front of the wooden door.
That's right, he is Lin Yi who has the memory of another world.
The cicadas and frogs chirping all around, and the refreshing feeling of cool breeze blowing across the face can all be felt carefully in this silent night.
Maybe it's because he has more memories of his past life in his mind, so after an afternoon of deep sleep and digestion, he is now extremely energetic.
Lin Yi turned on the flashlight function on his mobile phone. The light shone in front of the old house, and he saw a rusty copper lock hanging on the dilapidated wooden door.
He came here at night, and his purpose was to find the thing in the mud room that made all mankind crazy in the early days of spiritual energy recovery.
It was a long black nail driven into the stone.
This black spike looks ordinary, but whenever someone uses it, the heartbeat will accelerate, and all functions of the human body will skyrocket. For example, speed, strength, and reaction will all reach a level beyond ordinary people.
The first owner of the black spike was Lin Yi's colleague from the same hometown - Zhu Xiaogang.
According to another Lin Yi's memory, the company is planning to demolish these few ancient houses tomorrow.
It was at that time that Zhu Xiaogang, who was idle and bored, discovered an escape tunnel built back then under the large tank during patrol, and simply found the black spike.
The black spike had a total of 5 owners before Lin Yi's death, and none of the people who used it lived more than two years.
The original Zhu Xiaogang died in a car accident on the way to the Internet cafe just two months after getting the black spike. The other owners also passed away due to various strange reasons.
The last owner of this black spike was Lin Yi, who had used it for a year and a half.
Although Lin Yi died after being chased by a strong man, there was also a certain reason because of that black spike.
Therefore, this long black nail is also called the black nail of doom.
Although Lin Yi's death in his previous life had something to do with the black spikes, as the longest-serving user of the black spikes, Lin Yi was confident that he could avoid the bad luck brought about by the black spikes.
And he must also obtain the black spike so that he can have the capital to compete for those precious resources.
"Squeak." The worn wooden door was pushed open by Lin Yi, and thin dust rose in the air inside the room.
Lin Yi took his cell phone and took a look inside the room. In the white light, apart from the tables and chairs covered with a thick layer of dust, the only living things were the spider webs in the corners and the squeaking mice.
"We're almost here." Lin Yi waved away the dust floating in front of him, feeling a little excited.
Lin Yi quickly walked through the lobby and walked straight to a side door.
"It should be this big vat." When he came to the big vat again, Lin Yi was so excited that he could hear his own breathing.
"Wow..." When the old vat was pushed away by Lin Yi, the wooden board under the vat appeared in front of him.
What's under this plank should be the escape tunnel.
Along this tunnel, the light in Lin Yi's hand became the only light in this small space for many years.
This tunnel was only about half a meter high. Lin Yi walked hunched over for a long time, and the pain in his waist became more and more intense.
"Tick, tick, tick," the sound of water dripping from nowhere reached Lin Yi's ears.
Ignoring the sound of water, Lin Yi finally came to the stone room covered by a copper plate.
It's about to succeed...
Lin Yi stood in front of the copper plate. The sound of water dripping in his ears gradually turned into the sound of running water. In addition to the dust rising in the air, his nose also smelled a fishy, rotten smell.
Is it a corpse?
Lin Yi didn't have time to think too much. The black spike that could make him a strong man again was right behind the copper plate.
With a loud "Boom!", Lin Yi opened the copper plate weighing hundreds of kilograms and hit the ground heavily.
The dust rising from the surroundings filled the entire stone chamber. As Lin Yi walked inside, the sound of water flowing and the fishy smell that made people's stomach acid turn became heavier and heavier.
"Human?"
The sound of water rushing in my ears stopped, and instead a low voice came from the depths of the stone chamber.
"who!"
Unexpectedly, there would be people in this tunnel. This unreasonable thing really made Lin Yi's heart pick up in his throat.
"Haha, by the way, I have tasted human beings for more than 1,000 years without repaying them."
"Who the hell are you!?"
The fishy smell in the air was getting heavier and heavier, as if it could corrode Lin Yi's stomach at any time.
Holding back the unpleasant smell, Lin Yi's mobile phone light hurriedly shined towards a corner.
"ah!!"
Suddenly, in front of a huge stone illuminated by the light, there was a monster with a black body and a lion's head full of sharp teeth!
Lin Yi screamed in fright, and the strong smell of corrosion made him collapse to the ground.
The monster opened its only white eyes, grinned, revealing sharp teeth, and smiled ferociously at Lin Yi with saliva drooling from the corners of its mouth.
"I am Fugu."
"Fu Gu? I've never heard of it." Lin Yi had recovered from the fright. He used the light of his mobile phone to shine on Fu Gu again. On the monster's chest, black spikes were nailed to it.
However, Lin Yi didn't think clearly about some issues. He remembered that in his previous life, there should only be this black spike here, and where did this monster nailed by the black spike come from?
Is it because my memory caused the spiritual energy to regenerate earlier? It caused some creatures to mutate in advance?
"Human, you haven't even heard of my name? You know, I ate a whole city of humans back then."
"Isn't it a mutated beast?" Lin Yi said to himself inadvertently after hearing what the monster said.
Fugu's hearing is very sensitive, even Lin Yi himself may not have heard what he said, but it heard him clearly.
"Hey! Human, are you listening to what I'm saying? I'm a monster that really wants to eat people. Don't compare those inferior beasts with me!"
As a monster that everyone is afraid of, Fugu has finally found a food that suits his taste for more than a thousand years. However, this food is not afraid of this fierce and cruel monster, which makes Fugu very angry.
Fu Gu grinned and ordered Lin Yi with a very fierce look: "Human, quickly pull out this stinky nail in my chest. This way, I can regain my freedom."
"Oh? Is it the nail on your chest that traps you?" Lin Yi pointed at Fugu's chest in pretended surprise, as if it was like this.
"Yes, this stinky nail has trapped me for a thousand years. As long as you pull it out, I can do whatever you want!"
"Then what are you going to do first after you get out of trouble?"
Fu Gu grinned and replied naturally: "Of course I will eat you."
"Haha!" Lin Yi gave Fu Gu a look that looked like he was mentally retarded, then turned around and prepared to walk back.
Seeing Lin Yi leaving without looking back, Fu Gu anxiously said, "Hey! Wait, don't leave. The worst is, I won't eat you."
Lin Yi turned around and looked at Fu Gu again with the eyes of a mentally retarded person.
