Chapter 33, The Corpse (1)
The pit is full of corpses, and there seems to be something like a key in the blood light that rushes to the sky, Song Shun who saw this scene was really shocked, at the same time, when the key in the blood light appeared, the crowd of onlookers around the illusion also began to stir, the middle-aged man who ordered to kill the girl before took the lead in kneeling down towards the key while wiping his sweat, after kneeling down many times in a row, the commotion around gradually subsided, and the key in the blood light floated out, hovering around the heads of everyone, as if looking for somethingand finally picked someone in the crowd.
It was a young man, the blood-colored key was suspended above his head, the man was extremely excited, his body trembled a few times because of the excitement, and the people around him also cast strange glances, the game was blessing and joy, but more was jealousy, it seemed that the young man was extremely jealous because he was chosen by the key.
The man knelt on the ground, but his hands were raised high above his head, and the key fell little by little, but just as the key was about to fall into the man's hand, suddenly a guy appeared in the crowd, desperately rushed towards the key, and then reached out and tried to grab the key, he should have wanted to snatch the key for himself.
But at the moment when this bold guy grabbed the key with his hand, the key suddenly burst out with a terrible blood light, and the blood light shrouded the guy who tried to snatch the key, and a few seconds later, there was a terrible scream, Song Shun squinted his eyes and looked in the direction of the blood light, and after a while, a corpse that was no longer in human shape fell to the ground, and it was no longer possible to see who it was through the appearance, but the clothes he was wearing could see that this corpse was the man who tried to snatch the key a few seconds ago.
In a short period of time he had gone from being a living person to a corpse.
And at this time, the key finally fell into the hands of the young man he had chosen, he held the key, and then put the key on his chest, the blood light released outward and wrapped the man's whole body, this scene was the same as the scene that had just killed the robber, but the blood light passed quickly, and the man's figure emerged, he didn't have anything at all, but there was blood-red smoke floating like steam all over his body, and the man under these smoke kept taking deep breaths, although his face was pale, but with a strange smileAfter a while, he stood up, and the people around him involuntarily retreated, and then the man suddenly roared, and a red mark appeared on his face, and when the mark appeared, everyone around him bowed and bowed, and the man raised his hands as if accepting the support of his own people.
Song Shun saw this and already felt a chill down his spine, and bursts of cold air surged from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, he was definitely not a timid person, but he was still frightened by the scene in front of him, because he knew what was going on in front of him, it was possession, an evil ritual like an ancient spirit possessing a living person, but this scene was even more evil than an ancient spirit possession, because this was symbiosis and fusion.
With such a long history of illusionists, there will always be some people who will make deviant behaviors, the lighter ones may fall into the evil way and act without being understood by ordinary people, and the more serious ones may deliberately kill people and set fires to do all kinds of evil, and on top of this, what is even more evil and unacceptable is the guy who still wants to exist in this world after he dies.
Not to mention, Tang Yao has encountered this kind of guy several times, the blood king of Solan City before, and the Han Yangzi he met later, are actually all of this kind of people, they are not willing to die after their own yang life is exhausted, but try to find a way to live longer in disguise, maybe it is to dissect into immortals, or to transform their will into other objects, and the most evil of these is probably symbiosis.
Symbiosis is actually a bit similar to the original method of resurrection of the Blood Martial Marquis in Solan City, which is to detach his consciousness from the body, and then parasitize on other things, generally speaking, some items with special magnetic fields, such as crystal gems and the like, if some are evil, they may use special dried corpses as their own body resurrection like the Blood Martial Marquis, but these "resurrection" methods are actually very limited, first of all, they are not considered alive after resurrection, especially the resurrection method that transfers consciousness to the crystal gem, That's basically to cocoon himself in order to survive, build a cage for himself, and have to get into it, and like Xuewuhou, the method of using a special dried corpse as his resurrected carrier is of course much better than crystal gems and the like, but after all, it is not a living person but a corpse, and the dry corpse cannot be used after a little longer, and it has to be replaced with other bodies, so at that time, Xuewuhou took a fancy to Tang Yao's body, and wanted to forcibly take it away, but in the end he was killed by Gulin.
Compared with these two "resurrection" methods, there is a more terrible and evil way of resurrection, that is, from the beginning, it is intended to use the living person as their own carrier, the living person must be willing, and the most terrible thing is that after the symbiosis, the consciousness of the carrier itself still exists, he can feel that his vitality is being exploited, and it was okay at first, after all, the carriers selected as symbiosis should be very strong, but generally after more than ten years, the carrier will begin to collapse, That is, the vitality is extracted too much and falls into the torment of disease, and often this carrier is painful until the end of life.
However, what really made Song Shun feel chilled was that this symbiosis was built on deception from the beginning, and there were many ancient top-secret materials within a big clan like the Song clan, which mentioned that many guys like the Blood Martial Marquis tried every means to deceive low-level illusionists or ignorant people in history, making them think that even if they encountered symbiosis and felt pain, they would still be sheltered in the end, and even if they died, they would get reincarnation or the opportunity to step into the immortal class.
But these are all lies, and the terrible thing is that the deceived person will believe that there is hope in the midst of severe pain and torment at the end of his life, and what he does not know is that this hope does not actually exist.
Song Shun had read this information so he could judge at a glance what these people in front of him were doing in the illusion, this land, to be precise, in this upside-down city, there was actually a symbiosis a few decades ago, that evil and mysterious guy transferred his consciousness from the key to the young man, and the young man was obviously chosen, because the person who tried to snatch the key before was killed immediately.
It is not difficult to see from the face of the young man in the illusion that he is very excited, and even has a happy smile on his face, and it is not difficult to see that the jealous eyes of these people around him are not difficult to see that they prefer to be chosen.
In Song Shun's opinion, the group of people who had appeared here were crazy, and then the middle-aged man who was obviously the leader in the illusion took a golden robe from the hand of the servant, and respectfully sent it to the man's side, and then put on the man's robe with his own hands, and then the young man walked to the inner city of the Heavenly City under the congratulations of everyone.
Song Shun thought that the illusion should almost end at this time, but the strange thing was that when the crowd disappeared in his eyes, the illusion still existed, he frowned and walked in the direction of the inner city, but at this moment there was a strange sound in his ears, like a moan, but this moan was so much that it made him upset, he looked around, but saw a pair of bloody hands stretched out from the big pit, and those corpses that had already been killed were actually trying to crawl out of the pit.
Song Shun couldn't figure out if it was an illusion or something else now, if it was just an illusion caused by something that had happened here, then he naturally didn't need to be nervous, but if it was something else, then he would be in danger now.
Strange things are more than this, at this time he heard a painful groan on the ground next to him, he looked sideways, and saw that the body of the man who snatched the key before and was inexplicably killed actually moved at this moment, struggling to get up from the ground, Song Shun could clearly judge that this guy was dead, but why could he still move, and why were the corpses in those big pits able to get up.
"Is it possible...... Is there really such a strange thing as a corpse? A terrible thought popped up in Song Shun's head.
