Path of the Dead Prequel: Wings of Silver

The old woman's words made my heart tremble. Judging from her age, she is a contemporary of Li En, probably much older than her. From now on, the old woman has been full of praise when inspecting the deep hole. Even though she calls the other party a lackey, she actually quite recognizes the strength of Black Narcissus. Now she keenly sensed that, as a flying bird of prey, I might have known her in this life and past lives, so she couldn't help but change her mind immediately, and started to test with a smile. It's like he's trying to prove his point of view, but also like he has something to say from the bottom of his heart.

"Just now you said that the person who dug the deep hole used a method called Hua Fei Po, right?"The old woman climbed out of the pile of dead wood and walked slowly towards the depths of the mine. As she walked, she sighed:"At that time, a thought flashed in my mind, could it be that person? Now looking at your expression, it's obvious that I'm slow. Now that we have experienced the famous Wulongya Island incident, how could we miss her? You two met and interacted. Wow, I didn’t expect that after so many years, she would still keep the name Hua Feipo. She really feels guilty."

"I've seen him before, but I'm not familiar with him. It was just a few hours ago. I tried my best to suppress the excitement in my heart, pretending to be as calm as possible, and said,"Because of this, I feel a little unhappy when others call her a lackey.""

About this old woman, she is the one with the most extensive knowledge among the people I have met so far. Although she and Kestrel are unwilling to reveal their trump cards, they must have extensive connections with the three underground worlds. If they are not alone, She is one of them. Lien is the well-known Broccoli Lady. She has done many evil deeds in the dark world and killed many people. How could she not know about it? Her tone of voice all hinted that she is very familiar with her. So, if I can stay rational, I might be able to learn more secrets from her mouth, so I don’t have to look for the tape number H1-092 anymore. The answer to Madeleine’s sadomasochism will be found out today.

However, This kind of testing is extremely risky. Although Li En has died tragically, Madeleine is still alive, and now the dark world is looking for him. I don't want the trouble caused by Wulongya Island to happen again, so I can only press"No" Watch and wait for the opportunity.

Go back twenty meters and move away the charcoal blocking the way. Your feet collapse and you immediately fall into the smelly pool, with corpse fat and oily flowers pouring out. Continue to paddle forward for a few steps, clothes A thick layer of white scale had condensed on the part where it was connected to the dirty water. The old woman and I had already approached a cramped corridor. Apart from the appearance being different from the one in the nightmare, there were still things that should be there, such as bones that were so rotten that they lost their shape, and adults. Millions of tons of collapsed earth, metal bars that were melted and mixed into the rocks, etc., all of which were not bad, were standing in front of me. The old woman, maybe because she was dirty, climbed up the mud mountain on the debris and asked me for it. After the smoke passed, I puffed away the mist alone to dispel the accumulated smell. This is a small slope, which is on the edge of geological collapse. It is like the remains of the walls of a house after an earthquake. It is a relatively stable ruin. Even though Even so, I didn't dare to mess around, so I still moved close to the stone wall inch by inch. Just like this, I turned over a few corners and came to a bottomless abyss, turned on my headlamp, looked around, and quickly found... Thirty meters above my head, there are honeycomb-like geological bubble zones, one of which is the cave where I once photographed this scene of purgatory.

"Come and find out if this was lost by a child at the oil and gas station."The old woman's voice came from behind. She fished out a red baseball cap from the water, which was exactly what Eugene used to wear on his head. However, the old woman said that the place was right, but her eyes were fixed on the other side of the narrow passage. At the other end, when I was about to ask a question, she jumped on my shoulder, pointed to the end of the darkness, and said:"The mud hole where the little guy came down should be deeper in the narrow wall. Since the place is already there, let's go over and take a look at what you said. What happened to the room with the door?"

I asked her what she relied on to identify the road. The old woman said that by observing the water shape, groundwater seeped into the fourth floor shortly after the collapse. After the collapse, the entire area formed a spoon shape, so it was filled with smelly water. The overflowed part was drained deeper into the ground along the abyss. This also shows that the living water has a source, and you can easily find the right path by observing the slow flow direction. However, the old woman asked me if I had carefully examined the corpses, and I felt very Suddenly, I was about to ask a question, but she waved her hand and said it didn't matter. It didn't matter whether she looked or not.

"I'm not interested in this couple at all. Let's hurry up and look for the opening where Miss Cosita walked. If Kestrel needs assistance, he can help in time."I carried her on my shoulders and walked forward step by step.

"Isn't this what you are looking for? You also said that nearly half an hour passed between when Miss Cosita appeared opposite the amber crystal and when you were knocked unconscious by her. Why did it take her so long? It is precisely because the terrain here was severely damaged that the gas veins of the mine were cut off. So she needs to use other methods to gradually restore it, and that is to ask ghosts! The old woman frowned and couldn't help but wonder:"And neither Flag Mirror Master nor Black Narcissus can do this kind of thing. Could it be that this person is also a famous bird of prey who knows how to enter the arc?" If so, that would be awesome"

"Ask a ghost? what is that? Is it like a certain sect that knows how to interrogate souls?"I asked, pointing to the white floating corpse in the distance.

"Stop, stop!"The old woman suddenly stopped me, pointed to a pile of rocks on the side, and said:"It's right here, that's right!"

This place is the root of the narrow wall of the turning point. Further forward, it is blocked by rocks. Obviously there is nowhere to go. And the direction of her finger is also the same landform, just a few feet above the water. Put the old woman down, I My hands and feet flew up to the rubbish mountain, and I saw a crack crawling on the ruins. I could barely squeeze my arm into it if I stretched out my hand to explore it. Anyway, it didn't look like a corner where you could go in and out freely.

Even so, there was nothing on the back of the stubborn stone. There was a dark wind blowing through the house, which showed that if you knew how to shrink your bones, you could squeeze in. There was another enclosed space on the opposite side, and it was quite large. The old woman waved me to step back three feet, took out the flag and held it tightly in her hand. Hearing a shout, the wall seemed to have been smashed through by an invisible hammer, sinking a large piece into it, and then pushed in a few more feet. As she continued to exert force, in less than half a minute, the ruins were covered with A deep hole appeared, exactly the same as Hua Feipe, with a diameter of thirty meters.

"Why are you standing there? Not fast forward yet? This deep hole cannot last long and will disappear immediately!"The old woman kicked my butt hard and rushed in like a gust of wind. I followed her closely and followed her down to a place so dark that I couldn't see my fingers. When I looked back, I saw that the opening in the distance had shrunk to only The size of a fan, the future road was blocked again in the blink of an eye

"This, this is simply unreasonable. Are rocks and rocks living creatures?"I was stunned and couldn't help shouting.

The old woman polished the fluff on the tip of the flag, and the faint light shone through, illuminating her green and miserable face, which looked both mysterious and terrifying. I was caught off guard, and there was nothing under my feet. He stood firm and fell to the ground. He hurriedly turned on the headlight. However, an even stranger thing happened immediately, that is, the cold beam was immediately swallowed up by the darkness and could not illuminate anything. It was just like the story about the corridors of Lycu's ancient ghost house.

"Jihehehe, it turns out this is the case!"The old woman's words echoed around like a ghost. After laughing a few times, a bright white light like an atomic bomb suddenly exploded in mid-air. It was obvious that she threw a sharp pepper glass bubble. I was completely unprepared. Hundreds of moths sprang up and danced around, until half of the compressed air burned out, and then they barely recovered.

"Why do you just dump the bubbles without saying a word? Anyway, please let me know. Do you understand the rules? I turned sideways to avoid the light, and couldn't help but secretly wonder, and asked:"I didn't see you carrying a gun or any loose objects. After the Thunderbird was thrown out, what did you rely on to ignite it?""

"Young man, the Thunderbird is just a grenade. Why does it need to be so troublesome? You claim to have thrown away many grenades, how can you not understand how to use it?"

The old woman came to the side proudly and held up a glass bubble for me to look at. It turned out that at the bottom of the Thunderbird, there was a piece of machinery the size of a fingernail. If you press it with your finger and throw it, it can cause it to explode on its own. There is no need to raise your hand to raise the gun. If you regret it and don’t want to throw it away, just press it one more time to seal the fire door. Its structure is the same as the principle of modern grenades. It is really a good thing with exquisite design.

"Aunt Polly, what the hell is this place? How could it swallow up all the stray light but be unable to do anything to the thunderbird?"

"This secret room is exactly the dungeon hut you visited in the nightmare! Don't forget, it was transformed by a mountain hunter. This kind of terrain is called maggot surge. No matter how many times you open it with Hua Fei Po, it will come back together within a moment. The mountain hunter was killed in the desert, causing the land it walked on to never recover. Unless you can subdue it, let me throw another one in for you to take a closer look!" Before the old woman finished speaking, she tried her best to throw the second glass bubble. When the light started to rise, I avoided the ignition point and lowered my vision. I finally saw everything in front of me clearly!

This shabby room was about thirty square meters, and it was a resting place for stacking work equipment. In the room, in addition to chains, generators, oil batteries and many felt cloths, there were two sofas and a desk in the center. That was exactly what they saw in the fantasy. Ligeia and Grant once sat facing each other, talking and laughing.. However, these tables and chairs were chopped by some strange force for some reason, and the other half was missing. The incisions were extremely smooth, and only laser cutting tools could do it. Not only that, the dust on the ground and the dirt bags were all broken, and the other half was missing. There were many open cans, as well as large amounts of human feces and urine, piled up in the four corners of the shabby house.

"So, could it be that Ligeia and Grant did not die on the day of the mining accident, but lived hiding here for a long time?"I not only cried out loud, but also held my head and fell into trouble. I could no longer figure out what was reality and what was illusion.

"Not only the two of them, but all the corpses in the narrow passage came here to take refuge. This ghost place is just like you said. It was originally a tool room for people to rest, but its appearance was changed due to the mountain hunting. That much poop is enough to prove it. I just counted the bones. There are five in total. Doesn’t that match the names on the list?"The old woman lamented several times and sat down on the sofa that was lying on the ground. She said:"There are two evil spirits, a man and a woman. They may have been nice people when they were alive. Although I don't know why they came here, but after the mining accident, they guided the survivors. People come here to take refuge. So, this is the reason why all the bones are concentrated here!"

The glass bubble burned for two and a half minutes before slowly dimming. I lit two cigarettes in silence, gave one to the old woman, and sat alone on the other side of the broken wall, speechless. Ligeia and Grant were there. How many days and nights had passed in this endless darkness? How desperate and helpless did they feel at the moment of death? They were so miserable that the world could no longer remember that they had ever existed.

"How did you peek into the hut deep in the ruins? Why can't I find it?"Over time, I recovered from my sadness. Seeing the light of the cigarette butt flickering between bright and dim, I couldn't help but push her withered leg and asked,"Do you know how to peek through walls?"

"But this is not possible. There should be no master like that in the world. Young man, you have a very rich imagination. The old woman laughed a few times and said,"I remember the features in your description. There is an apple-green door. I saw wood pulp among the rocks, so I can tell.""

"So what are we sitting for now? Don’t you also know how to dig holes in the ground like the black narcissus? Hurry up and get started"

"The black narcissus digs holes in the ground. Hua Fei Po is my special skill, but she secretly learned it. But she also knew that she was shameless, so she kept her name. That man's name is Clemens, right? Why don't you think about it, how could such a rustic girl, who spent her childhood in Latama's crypt and never received a good education, come up with such a beautiful name? hehe."The old woman looked a little angry after hearing what I said, but she quickly regained her composure.

"Was Hua Fei Po originally your method? real or fake? This is really exciting!"When I saw the old woman reveal Li En's real name, I felt that there was no need to hide it anymore. I couldn't help but nodded repeatedly and asked her what was going on and what the Latama Crypt was. It turned out that Li En was trapped by the Golden Staircase. She was brought out of Latama's crypt. After that, she became the adopted daughter of the Emerald Flower. Therefore, she was more loyal than ordinary people. She served as his thug for a long time and became a retinue knight. Starting in the Emerald Flower Before attacking Yamakari, in order to find out if there were still flag mirror masters in the world, he deliberately erased the identities of many girls of her own age and inserted them into the dark world, so that they appeared in Aunt Polly's life.

"It's a pity that she didn't have six-sided eyes, so she couldn't steal everything. The old woman let out a long sigh and fell into reminiscing about the past, saying:"She betrayed me. She was particularly taboo about others mentioning the Mirror Master, so she lied to you and said that she had died long ago." Don't you think her behavior is bizarre when she gets angry for no reason? That is an uneducated wild girl. As for the Latama Crypt, you'd better ask less! That is a darker and more dangerous place than the land of hell! Clemens had been dumped there! If you really want to know, you can ask her yourself!"

"Eh? ask her?"My whole heart was about to beat out of my chest. These words she accidentally said made me forget everything in an instant. I saw with my own eyes that Li En died in the countercurrent sun and gave Aliaosulfur to me. Why did the old woman's words seem like the person was not dead but still alive? This is incredible! I suddenly had an urge to see her immediately and hold her deeply in my arms like before. Thinking, I asked calmly:"Aunt Polly, where can I find her?"

"Where else do you think it could be? Of course, he hid in the doghouse on Wulongya Island. Okay, don't mention this evil girl again, we are here to break the mirror and go to the bar."The old woman stood up with a roar, took out the thunderbird and threw it as hard as she could, and shouted:"Don't be stunned, let's look for it together when the light comes up. Since Miss Cosita has been here, she will definitely ask about ghosts, so she will stay. Traces of black cobwebs."

To be honest, their heresy sounds more advanced, and every sentence is a new term. In order to speed up the efficiency, I divided the labor with the old woman. She is responsible for keeping an eye on the left compartment of the hut, and I am responsible for the right compartment. No matter how many bubbles are thrown, You have to find them all. Although Hua Fei Po is easy to use, it consumes a lot of energy. She is old and weak, and this place is undoubtedly a maggot swarm. Maggot swarm, as the name suggests, is described as spewing like maggots, filling the gap immediately. There was not enough time to even leave a mark on the sealed avatar, so Krys used another method, which was to ask the ghost. As for what it was, he could only identify it clearly by finding the black spider web.

"This is why no matter what kind of light it is, it will be swallowed up. The maggot swarm is a mass of chaos, in order to make you confused about the direction. But don't worry too much, even if we are trapped, the little master can easily break through, but we will cause more trouble for her."

A ball of bright light like an atomic bomb exploded, and another one exploded immediately after. After throwing away three glass bubbles, the old woman shouted in surprise that she had found the trace of the ghost. I took advantage of the peripheral light to descend. I hurried over and saw that in the shadow of the corner, there was indeed a black spider web the size of a palm print. The shape was particularly like the mark struck by lightning on the cement floor. In the center of the dirt, there was a ring-shaped white mark.

"What does this mean? I thought it was a palm print. Was she carrying something special? The old woman marveled, asked me to sit down, pointed at Ban Zhen, and said:"There are only three ghosts to ask about. They are palm prints, leaf-shaped or water drop-shaped, but I have never seen these before.""

"Wait, how many Thunderbirds do you have left? Throw another one, this ring-shaped white mark seems familiar to me!"

The old woman muttered reluctantly, saying that most of the glass bubbles had been brought into the vortex by the kestrel, and she didn't have a few left. I wasn't assigned to a group of seven, so why didn't I throw away my own? In fact, , I am reluctant to waste such a precious thing casually, after all, it is hard to come by. If they can get it, where can I look for it? She took out one and threw it as hard as she could.

In the dazzling light Under the white light, I could see clearly this time. The ring was quite small, and there were many steel thorn-like marks on the edge. I had indeed seen this thing before, and it was the strange ring that Sister Di picked up in Kondia Stone Gorge.
