The Secret Art of Refining the Dead: The Walking Corpse File

Chapter 244 Face Change
I was talking to Jiang Xi, and Tang Linlin was woken up. When she saw me wake up, she quickly surrounded her and looked at Jiang Xi vigilantly: "What do you want to do again!" Jiang Xi ignored her at all and took a look at her. He walked to the stone gate, wondering what he was thinking about.

Before I could speak, Tang Linlin lowered her voice and said, "Not long after you fainted, he forcibly searched us, and the lock was found by him. Only then did I know that this person rescued us before. He didn’t have any good intentions, he saw us breaking out of the chain formation and suspected that we had locks on our bodies, so he took us all the way.”

When I heard this, I finally understood the doubts I had been having all this time. Before, I was speculating about the reason for Jiang Xi's change of attitude, but now it seems that he has already set his sights on us.

For a moment, I didn't know whether to admire him or scold him. This man's scheming is too deep.

Seeing that I didn't answer, Tang Linlin said again: "You developed a high fever on the way and almost died, and then that fox fairy saved your life, otherwise you might have..."

Fox Fairy?

This surprised me a bit, because Zhou Xuanye had warned me that the more often the power of the fox fairy wakes up, the worse it would be for me. I never thought that such a thing would happen during my coma, but , Why don't I feel it myself?

As if she knew what I was thinking, Tang Linlin showed hesitation, but she still said: "Tiantian, you have to hold on, I'll show you something, don't be too shocked." As she spoke, she took out the equipment from the equipment bag. I picked up a portable mirror and handed it to me to take a picture.

Suddenly, in the small round mirror, I saw a face that was both familiar and unfamiliar to me.

That's my face, but at this moment, the eyeballs should be black, but they have a strange dark blue color, and the corners of the eyes are hung up, looking very evil.I am obviously expressionless, but the face reflected in the mirror gives people a rather evil and weird feeling. It is not ugly, but it makes people feel cold when they look at it.

I suddenly remembered the scene that old man Fu encountered back then. It is said that when I was just born, my face was quite weird and evil. In addition, Xiao An would come to 'take care' of me from time to time, and many supernatural events happened. When I think about it, he threw me away at that time, it doesn't seem so difficult to understand, because now I am startled by myself.I feel a little hairy all over my body.

Tang Linlin looked at me with complicated eyes, slowly put away the mirror, and said: "Afterwards, your fever subsided automatically, and the injury on your leg also recovered a lot..." No wonder I felt that my body didn't feel as painful as before. .

After a pause, she suddenly asked again: "Are you still Tiantian?"

I felt a little uncomfortable in my heart, uncomfortable and helpless. To be honest, when I saw that strange face in the mirror, I had a feeling of who it was, especially with the blue eyes in the mirror. When I looked at each other, I seemed to see the eyes of another creature.

Am I really still me?
of course!
At least except for the face that I wanted to slap at a glance, I felt that I hadn't changed much, so I said, "Yes."

She showed a relieved expression, and said, "That's great... I don't know what to do if something happens to you. We came together, we have to go back together!" I nodded and said : "We have to find a way to open that stone door and find the hub of the whole mechanism."

Tang Linlin said in a deep voice: "Do you really believe that there is an organ hub there? He has lied to us more than once."

I shook my head: "I don't know, but do we have any other options now? Just the two of us, we can't get out. However, since he came to the secret palace to seize the treasure, he definitely didn't want to die here. He is the only way out for us."

Tang Linlin gritted her teeth and said, "I really want his head to be crushed with high heels."

I said, "You can't just have fun for a while, bear with it." Tang Linlin nodded and didn't speak any more.Although I am in a better situation than before, I am just taller than a dwarf, and it is actually still difficult to move at the moment.

I didn't want to sit still, so I gritted my teeth and stood up with Tang Linlin's support, and walked to Jiang Xi's side, which is under the big stone gate.

The stone gate is gray and white, and the seams are so tight that not even a hair can get in the middle, and the craftsmanship is quite exquisite.

In the center of the stone gate, there is a triangular flower-shaped groove, which is filled with things of different sizes, like brain patterns.This should be the lock of the stone door.This kind of agency has been mentioned casually by Jiang Xi before.This is not just a simple lock, but under the groove, there are many precision iron leaf springs, which can measure the weight of the lock.Once it is light or heavy, it cannot be opened, and it may even trigger some assassination mechanisms.

With this level of protection, those who want to open the stone door must get the original lock, otherwise, even if you know what the lock looks like, you can build one according to the original, but there is no corresponding weight, or the material is not used correctly , are all in vain.

We only have two at the moment, and the third one is in the hands of the Patriarch of Yumen. Obviously, the Shimen cannot be opened through normal methods.

Jiang Xi folded her arms around her chest, with black braids hanging down behind her, standing there by herself, giving people a feeling of being out of place.

In this world, there may always be some people who seem different, but these people happen to have something that most people don't have.

I don't know what kind of person Jiang Xi is, after all, we don't get along very well, but I know that this person must have something in his heart, and this thing must have a deep impact on him, because the first time I saw him in prison Sometimes, what I feel is lifeless and depressive emotions that are difficult to express.

Perhaps it is precisely because of these things that his character becomes weird and unpredictable, but even if I am curious, I can only be curious.

After a while, Jiang Xi said, "It would be great if there were explosives."

Tang Linlin said, "Aren't you talking nonsense? Where can I find explosives?"

Jiang Xi didn't speak, but pressed his hand on the stone door, the muscles on his arm swelled, obviously pushing in hard.This action is of course futile, if the push can be pushed away, what is the use of the lock.This should be just a subconscious action of Jiang Xi.

After pushing for a while, he seemed to think of something, and said to me: "Call out that little devil you raised."

Call out again?

I became vigilant and said, "It's too weak to come out again." At first, Xiao An was slashed by Zhou Xuanye with the Ghost Sword. The next head, when it came out for the last time, even the head began to become blurred.

I don't know what Jiang Xi's plan is, how he wants to use Xiao An, but if he lets it out again, the consequences will definitely not be light.

Jiang Xi frowned and said, "Let it observe the situation behind the stone gate and study the direction of the mechanism inside the stone gate. As long as it is clear, give me a certain amount of time, and it can be opened."

I said: "Impossible."

Jiang Xi said: "Then you want to die here? Or, do you want your other two companions to die here too? Maybe...they are already dead."

"Shut up!" Tang Linlin yelled angrily, and said, "You think you are the Lord of Hell, you die as soon as you say, Zhou Fox and the others must still be alive!" The ancestors greeted over and over again, but at critical moments, they were still of one mind.

Jiang Xi ignored Tang Linlin at all, and only said to me: "A little devil and a few human lives are more important, you should know in your heart."

"Of course I know, but I can't let it die. I believe in my two bosses, and I also believe that we can go out with our own strength."

Jiang Xi sneered, and said coldly: "Daydreaming, do you believe that I can send you two to heaven immediately?"

"I believe it." I said, "But if you want to send us to the west, you must pay a corresponding price." Tang Linlin pulled out her dagger, like a cat whose hair has exploded, her eyes focused on Jiang Xi, her body It is also obviously tense, ready to go, and looks like it is obviously desperate.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Xi didn't know what he was thinking, so he changed the subject and said, "It's just a little ghost. Is it so important to you? There are a lot of little ghosts like this, and among the little ghosts, female ghosts are the most important." It is the best, and the evil spirit is also the heaviest. This little male ghost is useless, and it has already been injured. After I get out, I can catch a little female ghost for you."

Xiao An, who was hiding in the god's seat, suddenly shouted: "I'm useful! Don't catch the little ghost for my brother!" But this time it didn't get out, probably because it was too weak to come out.

I touched the god's seat, comforted me, and said, "I don't raise a ghost for the purpose of borrowing strength, so there is no difference between a male ghost and a female ghost. I only raise it because it is my big brother."

"Brother?" Jiang Xi showed a frown for the first time on his expressionless face.

I said: "It's my elder brother, he died young, I can't take advantage of it."

Jiang Xi probably saw my determination, so he just glanced at the tablet in my hand and didn't say anything else.

Xiao An saw that she would not be dragged out, so she whispered to me: "Brother, I can tell stories, so don't throw me away."

In order to take care of a ghost's self-esteem, I said: "Your storytelling is very good. If you are still alive, you will definitely become a writer."

Xiao An thought for a while, and immediately said: "I can also become a writer now, and I will write stories after I go back. You have to send me a 'postion'."

"..." I really lifted a rock and shot myself in the foot.
