I have two principles as a human being:
1. Never lie.
2. Never believe anything anyone says, including myself.
“Sir, I must point out that your second principle contradicts the ...
This time it went very smoothly. The moment he saw Hong Lin nod, Cheng Shi jumped down and fell straight into the corpse field from under the Pig Bridge.
Last time he came, he was shocked by what he saw. His attention was completely drawn to the endless rolling corpses of the gods. In his fear, he didn't even have a deep feeling about what "death" meant. But this time, perhaps because he was affected by the disappearance of the tomb keeper, Cheng Shi actually felt a trace of the aura of "death" during the fall.
The vivid feeling of death lingered in his mind, refusing to leave, making Cheng Shi's expression unusually solemn.
Something seemed to have changed at the Corpse Field of the Gods; a dense power of death permeated the area.
But why is there the power of "death" here? The death here shouldn't be related to "death".
Any abnormality is a sign of danger. Sensing something was wrong, Cheng Shi steadied himself and suddenly stopped during his fall, quietly swimming towards the edge of the corpse field.
He's not here for adventure; he's here to find something.
The most valuable item in the battlefield of the gods should be the throne that was pieced together by someone. Since Cheng Shi had already pocketed the throne, what was he looking for this time?
The answer is simple: since we're in a corpse field, we're naturally here to find... corpses!
That's right, Cheng Shi came here to collect the corpses of gods!
He collected the corpses of gods not to replicate an identical throne, but to conduct a crazy experiment. He wanted to use this experiment to verify what he thought, and the materials for this experiment were right in front of him!
Cheng Shi cautiously made his way to the edge of the pit of corpses. This time, he would not venture deeper and risk his life. He would only take some corpses from the edge area to complete his mission.
Therefore, Cheng Shi was unusually cautious. He repeatedly confirmed that there was no movement around him, and carefully approached the body of a god, gently touching the severed arm of the puppet... But just as he was about to retrieve the package, a terrifying aura of death suddenly erupted from the severed arm and enveloped him.
Cheng Shi's expression changed drastically, his pupils contracted sharply, and he snapped his fingers immediately. However, he did not return to his past position, but instead turned into smoke on the spot and emerged from the dense aura of [death].
It was during this process that Cheng Shi discovered that this aura of death was extremely strange. It was not deadly, nor was it the kind of offensive method he had imagined. Rather, it seemed more like a signal!
When the signal is triggered, a series of chain reactions begin.
Suddenly, the corpses of the gods surrounding the edge of the pit trembled all at once. Then, a sound like a surging tide seemed to come from the abyss deep within the pit, as if some force was pushing a wave of air to burst forth, bringing a deafening explosion to the entire corpse field.
"The gods... vanished..."
Although the terrifying sound wave lasted only for a breath, it was enough to frighten any life that broke into this place into a panic and flee. Moreover, the momentum of the sound wave had not yet subsided. After a moment of silence, the sound of surging waves rose again from the depths of the corpse pit!
Upon hearing this, most intruders who still had the strength to run would disappear without a trace.
but!
This wasn't Cheng Shi's first time here!
He knew where the sound came from; it wasn't some unknown entity at all, but rather the sound of inanimate objects being washed by air currents as they rushed over the throne!
So he was only surprised and doubtful, but not panicked.
But the problem is, didn't I already take away that divine throne that could speak?
Why is this sound still here?
What's even stranger is the trembling of the corpses of the gods at the edge of the pit and the surging air currents. I only slightly touched a mutilated corpse, so why did it cause such a big commotion?
Moreover, from the aura of death just now to the current chain reaction, this series of changes gave Cheng Shi a sense of familiarity, as if he had experienced it somewhere before.
But why do I feel this way?
Cheng Shi frowned, finding the situation increasingly strange. Just then, a second wave of energy erupted, blasting through the corpse field once more.
"The universe... is collapsing..."
Such a loud noise doesn't seem like a natural phenomenon; it's more like someone deliberately did it.
But this voice concerns the secrets of the throne, so who would "spread it far and wide" like this?
Besides, that terrifying noise scared people away, so how could it be...?
"!!!"
etc!
Is it possible that this wasn't a public announcement at all, but rather a scare tactic to drive people away?
Someone is using this shockwave to scare away outsiders!
I was only afraid because I had heard this sound before. If it were any other outsider, they would have run away long ago at this noise!
Cheng Shi was startled and immediately realized that there was very likely another person in the mass grave!
Someone who arrived before me and had already set up the intimidation trap!
Who could this person be?
Another version of myself?
Something doesn't seem right!
Death, trigger, reaction, trap...
Amidst surprise and confusion, Cheng Shi suddenly realized why this feeling felt so familiar.
Isn't this the trap in Old Zhang's cemetery?!
The numerous reactions in this corpse field are strikingly similar to the defense mechanisms in the graveyard of the gravediggers at that time!
Just as he was thinking this, Cheng Shi noticed someone approaching from behind. He froze and didn't move. The next second, a scalpel gleaming with a ghostly light was placed against the back of his neck.
A very familiar voice came from behind.
"Weaver of Fate, you are far too reckless."
At that moment, Cheng Shi's mind went blank.
