Path of the Dead Prequel: Wings of Silver

After putting on the delirium bracelet, as I moved my arms, I noticed a long string of large objects hanging from the detective's neck. It was a porcelain figurine made of white clay. It looked like a rooster and was as big as a rice dumpling. It was really cute. I once saw this thing being used as a cannon when I was in the Yin Eclipse Dojo. It crackled and released a powder-like mist. I forgot to ask about it in a hurry afterwards. Now that he was so close, Sister Di, who had sharp eyes, was the best at spotting reflective things, so she asked him what they were.

"RipeClaw, I was going to give it to you. It is also called the Ground Chicken. When it finds danger lurking around, or an invisible evil spirit trying to attack people, it will be thrown out. The released gas will track and leave chicken claw-like traces on the ground, which is specially used to find enemies."Lao Dai untied them and asked us to share them. After looking around, he added:"The fat man who always likes to do bad things is gone, and the advantage of the human mortar no longer exists, so you will have to take the Fallen Soul Slash soon.."

The dream controller named Rabbit was squatting on the ground at the moment, playing with a pile of cleaned jam glass bottles with Eubisio. Ruddock Razor took out a few bags from the car, and then put the plaster inside and fireflies poured in. After doing this, the three people immediately sealed it with oil paper, and then carried it in their hands to the Heifengkou Tunnel, waiting for Lao Dai and Paco to finish their work. The national detectives lined up in the grass at both ends of the stone mountain, At the same time, they were also busy helping the Channel 9 team carry batteries and set up camera positions. They turned to look at this group of weirdos doing strange warm-up exercises. They laughed one after another, and some were even commenting, How could Lao Dai mix with them? In the crowd, there were only a few who remained silent or even had solemn expressions on their faces. The military doctor was one of them, because they had heard about the horrors of File 2201..Only three people entered in the first round, Soul Sickle, Lao Dai and the new rabbit. They will go through the tunnel first to ensure safety, and then we will follow up in the second round. When the entire section of the pass is controlled, the rest Waiting for people to enter

"You think it's funny, right?"Lao Dai returned to the crowd and asked everyone to put their key cases, mechanical watches and other small items into the cartons in the car, and asked those who had undergone cardiac pacing surgery to stay where they were and not to follow. The crowd went to take risks. After seeing that everyone was almost busy, he explained:"Do not wear monotonous balanced sounds or things that make regular sounds. Since this is a tunnel that has had an accident, we must take full precautions. If Black Maple Pass had been an Indian burial ground, the sound would have been like church bells, guiding them in the right direction, so they had to leave it alone. Rabbit also wiped his face with oil and sweat and explained to the national detectives that our night exploration could be said to be very safe but also a bit risky. Because we had made sufficient preparations in advance, it was basically a complete plan and all aspects were taken into consideration; The adventurous element refers to the fact that he learned that the tunnel was originally dug on someone else's ancestral tomb. It was already 4:30 in the afternoon. He had suggested to Hun Si and Lao Dai to postpone it for one day, but Sister Di and the others had no chance of taking pictures. It's only tonight, so it's not adopted. Just because everyone knows nothing about the Indian stuff, it's hard to imagine what will happen. The general reason is this.

Eubisio puts on the fangs A ghost-etched iron mask, Lao Dai put on a dry wheat cake in his mouth, and Rabbit brought nothing but a pair of sunglasses. The three of them tied iron rings around their waists, stood three meters apart from each other, and began to walk into the darkness. Following the figures Disappeared at the end of the field of vision, only a dozen flying insects in glass bottles were seen flickering, like a group of glowing blue will-o'-the-wisps, moving up and down.

"Are there fireflies in the bottle? It's September now, where do you catch summer insects?"The lockbox pushed Ruddock's razor and asked

"It was not a firefly, but a glowing night bug, a cricket-like thing called a Giusepia, brought from Tunisia."The big black man smiled slightly and began to introduce them. This kind of cricket called Gisba is a small insect that lives near wild caves all year round. They feed on carrion and lay their eggs in the bones, which is equivalent to death itself..For this reason, taking the Soul Scythe with them can hide the breath of living people. If there is something weird in the tunnel, it will be difficult to detect them

"What is the theoretical basis for these remarks?"As expected by Lao Dai, there are always very realistic people among the national detectives. They adhere to scientific principles in everything and are accustomed to arguing with others on the Internet. When I heard this, I was naturally dismissive.

"It is said that you all watched the live broadcast of the items lost in the North Carolina hotel on the 18th. So how do you explain that they came hundreds of miles away to Georgia? Ruddock pointed at the silk gloves and Saga wings and asked him with a smile.

"Don't argue pointlessly and stay quiet."Paco was silent when he saw this, and turned Fan Pang's double-sided deck recorder to the maximum, allowing everyone to listen to the whispers walking in the tunnel. Waves of audio as thin as mosquitoes came, as if The insect sounds were like people whispering, and they were flowing, moving from one channel to another. This also showed that there was indeed something strange in the cave.

Beyond these noises, there were the whispers of Lao Dai and others, talking to each other. It seemed that they were doing some checking, but Soul Scythe stopped the other two and said we would discuss it in detail after they left. With them still busy in the dark, I scratched my head and started asking the national detectives around me. , what happened to the Indians in Georgia. However, the seemingly knowledgeable military doctor could not say much. He only knew about the Great Cherokee Migration and the Trail of Tears. On the contrary, Sister Di understood the historical origins of these native North Americans better.

In the 19th century At the beginning, veins of precious metals, mainly gold, were discovered in the Cherokee Territory of Georgia. What followed was the Georgia Gold Rush, which triggered a series of political events that drove the Indians out of the east bank of the Mississippi River.

This book about Indians moving westward People include not only the Cherokee, but also five civilized tribes including the Creek, Choctaw, Seminole and Chickasaw. They also moved from their territories in accordance with the Indian Removal Act. were expelled. However, most of the relocated tribal territories are in southern Georgia, and Black Maple Town, where we are located in the northern part of the state, has not been heard of which Indian tribe is located. Therefore, even in old lands like Rabbit, I don’t know what happened to the bone cave in the past.

"Do you think it was because the old money offended the ancient gods and was cursed? When he dreamed that he had lost all his teeth, wasn't it similar to the Indian magic? I remember Lao Dai once made this judgment."Krys shuddered. Seeing that Sister Di was very calm, he hugged her arm and asked,"Maybe the bones of the dead are still buried in the earthen wall and have not been removed. I think that's probably the case. What do you think?"

"I don't think it's possible. Since the mountain has been dug into a tunnel and the ground has to be leveled before track can be laid, what are they left for? Hearing this, the coach stepped forward, pointed at two abrupt hills not far away under the night sky, and said,"Have you seen them?" I suspect it may have been moved to that end. Two mounds of earth were piled up in front of the river bank for no reason. They looked like they were used to dig out the mounds of earth."

Ten minutes later, Soul Sickle and others returned to the tunnel after a round trip. He lit up a cigarette and brought back some unfortunate news. After he said that he had descended eighty meters into the tunnel, the air suddenly became violent. It was colder, several degrees lower than before the entrance, and he seemed to have suddenly fallen into the void of interrogating corpses. What could be felt was that there were countless souls wandering around, and they were in a disordered state, scattered throughout the tunnel. It ran inside and made a faint noise. It got out of this state only within forty meters in front of the exit at the other end. In other words, the middle section of the 268-meter-long Heifengkou Tunnel, which is about 148 meters away, was a ghost. The gathering whirlpool.

These words naturally made the national detectives look at each other. They had never experienced this and could not understand the rules of the dark world. Seeing this, Rabbit used popular grammar to explain. He told everyone that this paragraph There are indeed weird things in the tunnel, but even if something is running around, it is not a big problem. The souls are invisible and isolated from us humans in two time and space. Only the sound can be detected. Through the black maple During the oral process, he always maintained a state of sleeping fugue, but he would still be awakened by noises. Those things were like drafts coming and going, but they should not be able to hurt anyone.

Lao Dai asked me and Sister Di to recall carefully, Where exactly is the so-called Wind Alley, and what are its characteristics? But according to Dixie's recollection, every time he ran away and broke into a period of darkness, he would naturally enter between the extremely narrow cracks in the wall like an alley, and that place was full of twists and turns. Just like a maze, she gradually found the patterns through splicing memories many times.

As for me, no one thought they could count on it. So Lao Dai and Rabbit used their own methods to make my incomplete flying bird survive. Memory. The detective's unique skill is through sleep whispering. The method is extremely simple. It is to keep whispering in my ear and repeat the same answer many times. This will leave an echo in the cerebral cortex; as for the dream catcher, it is I need to first select a humanoid through the nine rounds of sleeping and use him to synchronize with me.

What is the principle of this sleeping round? This is roughly understood. The reason why dream controllers can invade other people's dreams is The main reason is that he himself acts as a tuner. The brain waves released by the human body are different. He selects the frequency band to receive it like a radio station, and finally finds the correct MHz to connect. But he can only see or hear it himself. Well, everything has to wait until he wakes up before he can follow up in time. Then he loses his advantage. Therefore, he urgently needs a tool from the crowd, hypnotizes this guy and starts interrogating him, so that he can tell everyone what he saw and heard. Keep up with the progress. In this way, it is equivalent to the flash wheel of the bird of prey.

The national detective who first asked for the principle said that he could use it as a human tool. After asking in detail that there would be no side effects, he followed the rabbit into the station wagon.. The dream controller muttered something. Not long after, the guy yawned profusely, tilted his head and fell asleep. Seeing that he was fast asleep, the rabbit jumped down and waved to me, Sister Di and others, signaling that the second round of people was now We can go in.

We followed the instructions of the four-eyed woman and adjusted the dazzling light of the headlights into cold beams. I took out the strange gun that came from the orichalcum mine in my bag and gave it to Krys, while I held it tightly in my familiar paws. , following Lao Dai, Hun Si and others into the cave. He quickly crossed the 80-meter safe zone and entered the treacherous area where the incident occurred. Because I had to keep absolutely quiet, I was afraid that speaking would break the balance, so I tried to go to Sister Tongdi. As my brain waves rippled, she turned around and blinked her eyes, and tightened her hands.

"What's wrong?"Sister Di looked a little surprised. Since returning to the real world, we have never tried it once. She was very surprised by the return of gold thread. However, because of the Earth Mother incident, she was still frightened, so she cut it off decisively and asked

"I didn’t say that you can’t talk, so it’s better to take it easy when you’re good at using the gold return line." Lao Dai noticed the abnormality and said,"But keep your voice down."

As I approached the middle of the tunnel, the noise in my ears became more and more confusing. I remembered what Soul Scythe said when I was at the Yin Eclipse Dojo. As an incomplete flying bird, soul-transmitting is actually a passive behavior and requires external attacks. As a result, he asked him how he could take the initiative. Eubisio thought for a while and said that he had spoken with the commander of the formation, Tieblich, and the other party said that the real eagle of prey was actually a catcher, and he could capture anyone at will. It's impossible for me to move souls into their minds in my current state, but I might as well try moving souls.

"How to do it?"After hearing this, I seemed eager to give it a try so that Krys could see how powerful I am.

"We must first find the exact location where the souls are whispering. Whether they are like wind or rain, they are all spread out by the same vortex. There is no light inside the tunnel for a long time, so it is a good place for accumulating shade. In addition, people do not move around often, so it can become a guest hotel for ghosts."Lao Dai thought for a moment, and suddenly came up with an idea and said:"You can try it with salt bombs. After the dust is thrown out, the soul will dodge and flee to the nest like a low-level creature. For a poor bird of prey like you, this is the only way"

"No, this method is good, but it can easily irritate them. Why the souls gather here is still a mystery, so it is better to be careful. Before the detective could finish his words, he was rejected by Soul Scythe. He lit a cigarette for himself and asked,"Don't you remember the scene in the nightmare at all?" What a hassle. However, among the people present, only you and the female anchor have actually been there. Now you two free your mind and try your best to sense. As long as you can understand what the souls are discussing, it will be victory."

"Wait, don't talk yet."Sister Di frowned and said silently to those who were whispering around her.

I didn't know what she found out, so I couldn't help but stand there and waited for about two minutes. Dixie didn't say a word. Really. Unable to bear the loneliness, she asked if she heard something? However, she shook her head and said that she was just trying to remember the check between the two of us in the nightmare. Although I had also seen the brick wall maze, it seemed that I had been in a different perspective. After what she said, I gradually had some impressions in my mind. It seemed that after the third or fourth scene was reshaped, I arrived at a ghost place like a community.

"Yes, I have been there. This corner is full of crossroads, streetlights, and independent houses."

Gradually, the noise in my ears began to become clearer and clearer. I could hear it clearly. The voices rushing back and forth seemed extremely excited, and they were all shouting,"Come, come, come, come, get ready." In an instant, the lost memories were filled with me. In my mind, I have really been here, and I heard what Lao Dai said just now. It was a perspective of falling from a tall building to the bottom of a valley. It is supposed to be the point of view that can only be reached in another form after being thrown to death. There are flying lights all around. The black shadows are waiting for the arrival of the giant monster and plan to ask questions

"I remembered everything. That oversized thing was actually us talking to each other now."As long as people have a clear mind, they can immediately recall many things. I reached out blindly to fish for the soul, but it was in vain. In my memory, when I heard Lao Dai's words, I felt that the distance was still quite far, but this old neighborhood , and where exactly is it?

"That's it." Soul Scythe breathed a sigh of relief and took out his walkie-talkie to let the people staying in front of the tunnel come in. He already had the answer in his mind. Seeing our confusion, he put his hand behind his back and said,"The so-called Luxiang is a place where souls send messages to each other. It is like some rural legends in Portugal. In a specific place and at a specific time, you can go to a cemetery or wilderness and ask questions to the ghosts floating around. So some people try their luck, for example, asking me how my gambling luck is? Did my ugly wife steal a man? How much can I sell the horses for if I go to town tomorrow? People should not ask ghosts and gods to ask deep questions. They can only get superficial and immediate benefits, and then they can get the answers."

"I understand a little bit. You want to say that this place is exactly the opposite. It's that the souls want to know good or bad luck and will ask questions to passers-by. Isn't that like that? Krys blinked his eyes and suddenly understood, and asked:"So, there is no need to worry about the ghosts in the tunnel harming us. They are all kind and kind, right?""

"I don’t know about kindness and kindness, but I’m sure these things are harmless. They are not like the evil ghosts of Lu Sha, who are wandering around committing crimes, but ordinary souls who have settled in settlements. And that settlement is called Fengxiang or Luxiang. In fact, it is not relying on the flying birds to move the soul, but they are searching for the portal to send the soul. Any one of us will receive various questions."
