I, Hikigu, are contained by the evil god

Unspeakable worries and huge shadows filled Hikigu's heart.

……

Chapter 28 Exploration and Search: The Stench of the Sky

The apprehension didn't last long, because it was clear that there were many important things waiting for them to do.

After observing the stone sculpture of the swineherd for a while, Hikigu found no abnormality on it, and the watch did not glow. Feeling a little relieved, Hikigu turned around and walked towards the hideous monster statue again——

There is obviously the core of the cave, and it is also the place where clues are most likely to be found.

Shana and Kaguya did not follow Hikigu this time, but began to consciously search the entire cave—the pigherd statue made them realize that there might be something lurking in the dark corner, and there might not be no clues on those things. And there's no guarantee they'll be as harmless as the swineherd statues.

Biqigu came to the foreign statue again, and Biqigu didn't dare to touch it even once before making sure it was all right, so he could only carefully observe it.

This observation really revealed some problems——

Biqigu found that there are dense and wonderful patterns on the body of the statue, and those patterns have almost been worn away, and the stone tablet has a similar situation. Biqigu can even put a lot of moss and a small amount of seaweed on them——

Obviously, this phenomenon cannot be formed in a cave that lacks air under a thousand meters, which means that this statue is not carved by the owner who built this cave, and they are more likely to come from a seaside or a wet and primitive sea They should come from some ancient temple belonging to the local aborigines that once stood somewhere.

For this conjecture, Bi Qigu also found more evidence in the following observations: on the surface of the stele directly in front of the statue, below it close to the ground, there was a brown stain, which Bi Qigu judged was a fire. traces, which indicate that sacrifices were burned and burnt offerings were held in front of it.

——And there is no building in this cave where sacrifices can be placed or burned. It is just an ordinary offering.

"Crack-crack-"

The monstrous flames and the huge shadow swaying from side to side with its teeth and claws swaying left and right reflected Bi Qigu's face flickering, he was silent and thinking.

"Did you find anything?" Kaguya and Shana came over, and the sound of clear footsteps approaching from far broke the silence.

"It looks like there's nothing else in the cave except the swineherd statue."

"I have a little clue here, but it's just fragmentary information, and it's not very useful until it's successfully linked together." Hikigu shook his head, continued to observe carefully, and suddenly sniffed, feeling that something was wrong with the air.

"Do you feel that the smell is a bit strange?"

Ask if you have any questions, Hikigu looked at Kaguya and Shana, he didn't know if this was his illusion, but if Kaguya and Shana also confirmed his doubts... three people have the same sense at the same time, it doesn't matter whether it is an illusion or not Big problem.

Kaguya and Shana wrinkled their delicate noses and inhaled at the same time, the familiar musty smell of earth and mold was gone, they did smell a strange smell.

Kaguya frowned, and nodded hesitantly, "It seems that there is really a trace of... rancid smell? And only near this statue?"

Her answer aroused the vigilance of Hikigu and Shana. Shana raised the Odachi and held the sword in a fighting posture with both hands, looking fiercely at the statue like a hunter.

Will the statue have a rancid smell?Of course not, unless, instead of a statue, it's something alive!

Hikigu stared at the statue, raised his gun and aimed at the statue, thought for a while but didn't know how to investigate, so he shot directly.

Forget it, if there is really a problem with the statue, shooting can solve the problem; if there is no problem with the statue, shooting is even less of a problem... So when things are unresolved, bullets can really solve most of the troubles, as for other bullets Problems that cannot be solved can be solved with shells.

"Bang bang bang-"

As soon as the gunshot sounded like a signal, Kaguya set up two guns and sprayed out flames. The two Berettas crackled, and the pistol felt like a submachine gun when she shot it.

Shana raised the knife, held the knife in both hands and raised it in front of her eyebrows, concentrated, held her breath, inhaled, stepped, exerted strength from her waist and abdomen, and slashed cleanly!

The flames left the knife, the flame knife cut across the air, and the scorching heat wave covered the sky and covered the sky, chopping off the statue vigorously and dignifiedly!

"boom!!!"

How could the statue withstand such a combined attack, it exploded on the spot, torn apart, not even the base remained.

"Leave the stele!" Hikigu stopped his gun and raised his hand, signaling Kaguya and Shana to cease fire in time.

The stone tablet has value left behind. If the inscription on it can be deciphered, it will greatly ease the current search impasse, and it will be of vital significance to the follow-up actions to rescue Kaneki Ken.

The smoke and dust dispersed, and the three of them looked intently, only to find a hole in the ground beneath the wreckage of the statue!

After nearly a thousand meters of underground passage to reach this cave and see this statue, who would have thought that there is a new underground passage hidden under the statue?

A passage within a passage...Where does this road lead?

The rotten smell that once had only a trace rose into the sky at this moment. The pungent stench seemed to have been endured for a long time and finally saw the light of day. After the meat rots naturally in summer, it is soaked in a septic tank for a whole year, and finally it is covered with dense mold through special methods...

The smell was so pungent that it irritated the eyes, and Bi Qigu was so smoked that tears were left behind, and his stomach kept rolling, and he endured it for a long time before he vomited.

Kaguya and Shana on the side couldn't bear it anymore, they vomited to one side on the spot, but after just vomited, they hurriedly set up their swords and guns to re-guard, for fear that some cunning and terrifying monsters would crawl out of the hole, Prepare for a sneak attack.

Hikigu suppressed his nausea, and approached cautiously, pointing his gun at the hole at any time... Through the huge gap that could not be covered by the wreckage, Hikigu saw a creepy and shocking scene.

Hikigaya could have sworn he saw hell.

This is a nearly square hole, and there is a section of stone steps behind the hole. The whole section of stone steps is quite worn, and a part of the steps in the middle has been worn into a slope... So far, everything is similar to the hole found in Jin Muyan's house. .

But on this ladder, there are still many densely packed skeletons of all kinds: humans, cows, sheep, pigs, dogs, various livestock, and various skeletons that look like human beings with slightly different shapes.

It was clearly the entrance of the hole that had been covered in dust for an unknown amount of time, but the rotten meat that should not have existed was scattered on the bones, and even maintained a bloody posture, exuding a stench that soared to the sky.

On the ground, white lumps of flesh and black, disgusting jelly spread across the steps, up to knee-thick.

Hikigu wanted to take a deep breath but stopped abruptly because it was too smelly... He glanced at Kaguya and Shana with a gloomy expression, and asked them to come and see.

"vomit--"

Kaguya immediately covered her mouth, resisting the desire to vomit; Shana involuntarily took two steps back, and supported her body on the ground with a clang of the knife pillar, with a dazed expression on her face.

"This look is disgusting and terrifying..."

Hikigu glanced at this disgusting hell corridor: rotten meat, bloody white bones, white lumps as thick as knees, black gum everywhere...

"I'm very sorry."

Bi Qigu spoke in a low voice, his eyes drooped, and his face was not pretty:

"But we have to hold back the stench, step on these disgusting things, and move on."

……

Chapter 29 Shocking Discovery! !

"Yeah." Kaguya's face turned pale, "We know."

"I hate these things." Shana suppressed her nausea, not hiding her resistance to this step.

But even though she said so, she was the first to take a step—she came staggeringly with a knife, and stepped on the first step full of filth and filth with her toes cautiously and disgusted. She could clearly feel the greasy feeling through the soles of her shoes, which gave her goosebumps all over her body.

Raising the knife to burst into flames, Shana first cleaned up the wreckage of the statue blocking the entrance of the cave with one knife, and then swept all the debris and filth three meters in front of her to both sides of the steps, clearing out a path that was still full of filth but at least it was clean. Some small trails.

She turned her head, the firelight shone on her face, her slightly pale face and bloodless lips looked extraordinarily resolute and heroic under the light of the fire.

She wore a dark black windbreaker like a cloak, her red hair poured out like fire, and she held a big sword with raging flames behind her slender fingers, and looked back with her flaming eyes, like a glimpse.

"Not leaving yet?"

Hikigu's face was in a daze for a while, he seemed to see the original agents on Shana, including Qiu Mingwen, senior Yousu Township, and everyone who died together...

Dazed for a while, in this disgusting, dirty and harsh environment, Hikigu also raised the corners of his mouth and stepped forward.

"it is good."

"coming."

Everyone yearns for someone who doesn't change his face in the face of crisis, but the vast majority of people are not invincible supermen, and neither are the detectives; It can be done without, and the agents will fight to do it.

It's like no one wants to die, everyone wants to live, desperately wants to live, just like the little fat man Qiu Mingwen who was greedy for life and afraid of death, but when necessary, the agents can only go to death - get rid of the shrinking of the brain Not moving forward and weighing the pros and cons, driving the body to do things that cannot be done.

Those who are called brave by us may not be so brave, but they still go forward indomitably. This is the backbone of human beings.

Of course, Shana didn't seem to be doing such a great thing at the moment, but she said she didn't want to go, but she was the first to move, and then turned her head impatiently——

Really, super handsome!

……

At the same time that the statue was destroyed, in a hidden place in Chiba City, a black and red light suddenly bloomed on someone who fell into a coma.

In a coma, he involuntarily showed a painful expression on his face, trembling all over, and sweat dripped from his body.

This frightened the man who guarded him, and he hurriedly reported to his superiors.

Not long after, a mysterious woman in a black cloak walked up to Kaneki Ken, quietly watching his changes.

"Pfft-"

Kaneki Ken trembled all over, four tentacles intertwined with scarlet and pitch-black suddenly grew out from behind!Swaying and dancing in front of the mysterious woman.

The woman snorted... This is very interesting.

……

Hikigaya, Shana, and Kaguya walked down while cleaning up the wreckage. As before, it was still illuminated by Shana's fire.

——As a third-stage fire-ability user, Shana's ability to deal with fire is absolutely superb. Bi Qiguzheng deeply realized how convenient it is to take Shana with her when she goes out to do tasks.

As for Kaguya, her abilities are more supportive, with the effects of healing, boosting, and controlling the field, which is quite comprehensive and extremely usable.

Plus a real object Hikigu, a fire-type Shana—it has to be said, except for the storage and various equipment, the top combat power of the Chiba City Association is no less than that of the Chiba County Association... Except for the three top fighters, there is no one else in Yeshi.

……

Biqigu noticed that besides the white bones of cattle, sheep, pigs, dogs, and various livestock, there are also human bones and a primitive and ape-like bone that looks like a human but is obviously different from human skeletons. Both skeletons, in a panicked pose, are covered in marks from rodent bites.

He found a blind spot in the problem.

"Why are so many livestock and people dying, and the association in Chiba City didn't find the problem?"

"Who knows where these bones come from, maybe the hunting range is the whole of Japan, maybe he just picked up corpses... In short, there will never be such a large-scale disappearance of people and animals in the history of Chiba City, otherwise it would not be our turn here Come explore."

Shana was obviously still resisting this disgusting exploration, she puffed up her mouth and gritted her teeth, like an angry kitten or a bunny:

"In that case, this place would have been blown up by the association long ago...not even the dregs left!"

Hikigu wanted to complain that such a deep underground cavity might not be blown up, and there would be a risk of landslides and earthquakes, but he looked at Shana's angry look, and wisely chose to shut up—it depends on the time to complain, unless you don't want to Life.

"hiss--"

Kaguya seemed to have noticed something, staring at the wall beside him and frowning.

Hikigu and Shana's attention was attracted: "What happened?"

Kaguya raised his finger and pointed at the wall: "Look at the gouges on the wall!"

Hikigu carefully observed the gouges on the wall, the uneven gouges were densely covered, "They don't look wrong...the direction of the gouges?!"

Hikigu opened his eyes suddenly, and found the problem, a burst of cold air rushed straight into his brain, and inexplicable and unknown fear surrounded him.

"The direction of the chisel marks is reversed." Kaguya replied confidently to Hikigu, with a heavy and horrified expression, "This passage seems to be dug up from below!"

"But how is it possible?" Shana frowned, "No one can do that, unless he was born in the center of the earth and dug a passage to the surface."

Bi Qigu didn't think about people in the center of the earth, he thought even more terrifyingly.

A dead person sleeps in the ground, and after going through vicissitudes, the soil layer on the ground is more than 1000 meters... One day, he wakes up from the ground, forcibly digs a passage from the bottom up, and returns to the surface!

He thrives on the ground like a normal person, but secretly hunts all kinds of livestock and humans, and even raises some of them in captivity. In this dark underground, he raises them to be extremely mentally retarded, suffering from apes, like apes. sub-races!And the terrifying group of rats, like the shepherd's faithful shepherd dogs, helped him watch over the humans.

Of course, this terrifying idea is just speculation, and what is the truth remains to be speculated.

Hikigu and the others suppressed the uneasiness in their hearts, bit the bullet and continued to move forward.

After 2 minutes, they came to the exit.

It was that special low door again, made of red bricks and stone carvings, symmetrical on both sides, in the shape of a split triangle, and the split part in the middle left a passage.

Hikigu and the others bent down to enter and came to a small space.

This place is really small, only a dozen square meters in size, and there is nothing inside, only many bright and colorful murals painted on the walls, and...

Two coffins.

"That's all?" Bi Qigu frowned and looked at the mural. This is a mural with an aboriginal style who doesn't know where. The picture looks weird, but it doesn't look too weird.

Kaguya shook his head and muttered: "It's strange, this is so strange... The things we have encountered so far don't even seem to be related, and they are not very useful for our next move.

"..."

"Do natives understand Christianity?"

Xia Na suddenly asked such a strange question.

Hikigu looked at Shana strangely, wondering why she would ask such an obvious answer.

"Of course I don't understand. You see, this style of painting is not a Christian thing."
