List of strange talismans

Chapter 64
At first, Gu Xiuya thought he had overlooked it.

After the split body is separated from the ignorant boa constrictor and completes its parasitism, it will move with the flesh and blood in the body, so sometimes it is possible to go east and west.

He then manipulated the heat flow to make a full circle in Satchett's body.

The results of the review did not change.

Indeed one is missing.

Gu Xiuya frowned.

He has never encountered such a thing.

In the last round of stories, the split body he implanted in the residents of Galanz remained active for half a year and coexisted well with the host.

How long has it been since this time?

Gu Xiuya didn't believe that the clone would die naturally in such a short period of time, and die so cleanly.

The reason for this situation must be related to extraordinary power.

"When did you start feeling sick?"

he asked Satchett.

Satchett said, "Yesterday."

"Recap what you did yesterday."

"...Yesterday morning, Angelet called me at home. I went to Shuntian Temple with him, and cut wood to repair the gate. I worked until evening, and I went home after dinner."

"Did you feel unwell while watching Suncheon?"

"No."

"How about on the way home?"

"No."

"You didn't react until you got home?"

"Correct."

"What was it like at first?"

"... a little dizzy. Like drunk."

"gosh?"

Gu Xiuya rubbed his little finger and looked at Sachet: "When you felt dizzy, did you smell anything?"

"You, how do you know?"

Satchett looked surprised: "I did smell a smell at the time, but I couldn't tell what it was, I just felt faint, and it disappeared immediately."

Volatile gas?
Gu Xiuya felt that he had grasped the key, and he asked Sachet, "Where is it?"

"It's there."

Sachter pointed to the doorway where Angelet was standing.

Angelet's face turned pale, and he backed away in a panic.

"Don't be nervous. With the windows open, the gas won't linger for so long. Not to mention you're still wearing a mask."

Gu Xiuya comforted Angelet.

He motioned for Angelet to get out of the way, then opened the door and went out, then came in again, and stopped by the door.

"Is this the location?"

Sachter recalled, nodded.

Gu Xiuya stood still on the spot and looked around the room.

The room was very small, with only room for a bed and a table, and the straight-line distance from the window to the door was less than three meters.

The walls are made of clay, brushed with rice paste, filled with very little straw, and almost airtight to the touch.

Perhaps because of the subsidence of the foundation, Gu Xiuya vaguely felt that the wall was tilted.

The floor above the head has been around for many years, and they are all brown and black. There are spider webs hanging in the gaps that have been eaten by moths, and the dark second floor can be vaguely seen.

as for the floor
Gu Xiuya stomped his foot lightly, shaking up a piece of yellow powder left by moths.

The raised floor should be for moisture insulation.

From the perspective of ventilation, this room is very qualified.

If someone had sprayed some kind of gas into the room after Sachet left, it would have been impossible to survive the situation for a day.

In other words, the gas should have been produced just at that time and sensed by Sachter at that very moment.

"Take me to the second floor."

Gu Xiuya greeted Angelet.

Angelet responded and led Gu Xiuya upstairs.

Pushing the door open, Gu Xiuya found that this room was almost unoccupied, and it was full of various sundries, tables and stools, seasonal clothes, and some sprouted potatoes.

There is also a half-open window in the room, and the ceiling is covered with breathable bright tiles. No matter how you look at it, it does not have the conditions for the natural formation of poisonous gas.

Gu Xiuya got down on his knees, looked closely at the floor, and quickly confirmed that the traces of dust on the ground had not been touched.

The few possibilities are eliminated in turn, leaving only .
Gu Xiuya got up and went downstairs, and returned to the room where Sachet was.

"Can I get out of bed?"

he asked Satchett.

Satchet nodded and got out of bed with difficulty holding onto the edge of the bed.

Angelet wanted to go up to support him, but he stopped for a moment, and turned to look at Gu Xiuya.

"It doesn't matter, what he is suffering from is not the plague."

Gu Xiuya said.

Only then did Angelet breathe a sigh of relief, and quickly stepped forward to support Sachet.

"You guys go to the kitchen and wait for me."

Gu Xiuya stretched out his hand to signal.

When Angelet heard this, he tactfully took Sachet out of the room without asking why.

Gu Xiuya immediately closed the door, thought for a while, and then covered the window with the worn curtains.

Then he drew the pistol from his belt and pulled the trigger against the board.

boom!
boom!
boom!
The high-explosive ammunition pierced through the wood in an instant, blasting several large holes.

Gu Xiuya grabbed the edge of the bed to stabilize his body, and stomped his other foot.

Click!

Whoa!

The wooden plank shattered, collapsed and fell to the ground, leaving a gap of one meter square.

Gu Xiuya groped in the backpack for a while, grabbed a flashlight, and pressed the switch against the gap.

The light then lit up, revealing the situation under the floor.

Weeds were overgrown on the damp ground surface, puddles were densely covered with accumulated water, and there were all kinds of messy broken stones and dead rats everywhere.

The light disturbed the silent darkness, and a few mouse women could be vaguely seen crawling away quickly.

Gu Xiuya measured the height, then stepped on the surrounding planks, widened the gap, and jumped down.

The moment he landed, he felt that he smelled a strange smell.

Like some kind of alcohol substance, it volatilizes extremely fast and melts into the air almost instantly.

But it was such an undetectable wisp of smell that instantly made his heart beat faster, his blood flow accelerated, and he even felt a slight dizziness later on.

found it.

Gu Xiuya can be sure that this smell is definitely not a normal product. The Baixingguo technology in the 18th century didn't even handle the steam engine, let alone organic chemistry.

Only extraordinary power can overcome the barriers of technology and create this kind of thing.

He turned his head, pointed the flashlight in the direction the smell was coming from, and saw a large hole in the weeds.

It runs through half of the ground, slopes downward, and leads directly to Matthews' mansion.

So, Captain Jeffrey Lai stayed in Matthews' house just to dig this hole?
No wonder the frequency of guard patrols has suddenly increased. Is it because they are afraid of being found out?
Gu Xiuya's thoughts turned.

He didn't think Jeffrey would have nothing to play with. This kind of thing must have its irreplaceable purpose.

what is it then?

Gu Xiuya recalled, and found that there seemed to be no memory of these people during the last trip.

How strange.

He came to the entrance of the cave and looked carefully.

The pitch-black hole is extremely deep and almost 45 degrees downward. Because there are too few light sources and the bright spots are too concentrated, it looks eerie at first glance.

Gu Xiuya listened attentively.

The sound of the wind gushed out from the ground, and it was particularly howling in the silent environment, as if it was whispering from the abyss.
