Chapter 110: The Cave of Sorrow (19) Li Mo
When Wei Wei returned to Xing'er's home, his parents heard about his secret kiss with the drunkard. They insulted her for a whole day and night, using extremely vicious words. They wished she would die immediately so as not to bring shame to their parents.
Xingzi's shadow squatted under the eaves and kept crying. Wei Wei saw her crying for a while, took out the pesticide and prepared to drink it, but suddenly saw the black jade pendant in his hand, burst into tears, and threw the pesticide aside.
What happened thereafter was the same as what the players had heard in the dungeon. Early the next morning, Xiuhong came over and spoke on behalf of Wu, saying that Xing'er had been chosen by the Ghost Doctor.
Xing Er transformed herself from being despised by everyone to being praised by everyone. She also held a series of ceremonies to prepare to become the bride of the Ghost Doctor Fairy.
Wei Wei wanted to see Xing Zhe again, but he searched the whole village and couldn't find her. He thought Xing Zhe must have returned to the town. He always wore the black jade pendant as a talisman.
On the day of her wedding, the whole village gathered in the cave and knelt down to pay respect to Xing'er. The stone door opened, and smoke rose up. The fog was so thick that they couldn't see each other's features clearly. From time to time, there was an ethereal sound of collision behind the stone door.
Wei Wei walked into the cave alone. The stone door closed behind him, and the cave fell into absolute darkness. There was no divine light or fairy air, only the pungent smell of traditional Chinese medicine.
Paper figurine.
A few minutes later, Wei Wei fell into a coma.
The first thing to recover was his hearing, and several people were whispering in his ears.
"Hey, boss. I got another one for the acupuncture... a woman. I don't need organs in the near future... Oh, she doesn't look that good."
"Yes, yes, doesn't this all depend on your help? I will definitely give you some nice-looking... children?"
"How young? Under 13. OK, I'll see if there's anything suitable."
It should be that Wei Wei's physique was better than Xing'er's, so he woke up earlier. The group of people didn't expect that he was already conscious and talked about secrets without any concealment.
"Send it to the lab? Okay."
"Don't worry, we are in the middle of nowhere and the police don't care much. Women in the village are worthless, so what if a few of them die?"
"Besides, there is no way out for them if they live. Living is torture."
"How much fate is there this time? Good, good!"
If I’m not mistaken, “fate” refers to reward.
The so-called marriage to the ghost doctor turned out to be human trafficking.
: These days are becoming more and more uncertain.
: The meaning of "钻xue" is to refer to the trafficked people, right? The NPC said this slang to the cleansers as soon as they entered the dungeon.
: It's human trafficking, no doubt about it! There is no such thing as a ghost doctor!
The comments were filled with indignation, and someone said:
: There should be gods in the dungeon, otherwise, how to explain what happened in the Forest of Steles? The several-ton stone tablets flew up, and a human face appeared on the stone tablets. This cannot be done by mechanical devices.
The man finished the call. He heard a buzzing sound in his ear, the voice coming and going: "He wants a pretty girl, and she also wants a girl under 13 years old."
Another man spoke up. He sounded a bit bloated. “That boss is a pedophile. He likes both boys and girls.”
"What does pedophilia mean? Who cares? I don't understand the preferences of these rich people. There are not many children in the village. Many people, upon hearing that the women are pregnant with girls, force them to have abortions. Boys are treated as treasures and they are not willing to let them marry the Ghost Doctor."
Wei Wei thought that when they first entered Changming Village, their target was Freesia. By accident, he became the scapegoat because he burned incense for Freesia.
: If you really send the freesia over, he will know how delicious he is.
: How is that possible? Freesia likes to eat human flesh, but not animal flesh.
: Let me correct you. Freesia likes to eat mammals. She enjoys eating werewolf and bear meat. She doesn't like duck blood.
: This kind of meat tastes stinky.
The puffy man asked, "This chiseled piece of blood can't be sold for a good price, right? Where can I send it?"
"laboratory."
"Oh, they want to use her for human experiments. She's going to suffer a lot!"
Wei Wei thought about what happened to Xing'er's parents, who were exposed to anthrax.
Anthrax virus is a common biological weapon and is also often used in human experiments.
The fairy in white used anthrax to deal with Xing'er's parents. Was it to help Xing'er get revenge?
The tapping sound continued. Wei Wei quietly opened his eyes and saw a lame man with crutches. The tapping sound was his cane hitting the stone slabs.
Next to the lame man was a man with a beer belly, wearing a polo shirt and a gold watch.
These two people were the Zhongzhou doctor and the unidentified cripple whom Gao Mengtang met when he was eavesdropping.
"As usual, you pick a pee-belly first." The lame man made a "please" gesture.
The man with a beer belly put on a white coat and rubber gloves and complained, "It's hard to find a kidney source. The old cadres in the hospital lie in bed every day waiting. They have money. After the transplant operation is completed, we will split it in half."
They were still in the cave, and Wei Wei was lying on a crude operating table. The beer-bellied doctor disinfected the patient and walked towards him with an anesthetic needle.
A shadow emerged from Wei Wei's body, struggled to get out of his coma, and sat up.
It seemed that Xing Er had just woken up at this time. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw the doctor was going to remove her kidney.
The anesthetic needle was close to Wei Wei's waist. The next second, Wei Wei broke the doctor's nose bone with a punch and kicked him away.
The lame man screamed and raised his cane to hit Wei Wei.
Although he could not use any special skills, he still retained his fighting skills, and was more than capable of dealing with a disabled man. With just two moves, he knocked the cripple down.
On the other side, the fat doctor rushed over again, trying to inject the anesthetic needle into him. Wei Wei kicked him over, and because of the interaction force, his body fell backwards.
With a glance, Wei Wei thought to himself that something was wrong. The light in the cave was dim, and he had not even noticed that there was a cliff here!
It was bottomless and no one knew how deep it was. Wei Wei wanted to steady himself, but it was too late and he fell on his back.
He used all his strength to hold on to the crack between the rocks and did not fall to the bottom, but his nails were cracked in two.
"She fell!" the fat doctor shouted.
"Don't chase! Don't chase!" the lame man shouted, "There really is a ghost down there!"
"We can't let her get away! If she lives, we all have to die!"
"If she falls down, she won't survive!" the lame man shouted, "Doctor Xing, come back soon!"
The pain was so severe that Wei Wei's forehead was covered with cold sweat. When he heard the words "Doctor Xing", he was so shocked that he even forgot the pain.
The surname Xing is not very common.
And that devilish little girl was named Xing Zhe.
His nails broke and blood flowed to his elbows. Wei Wei couldn't hold on any longer and fell straight down.
Plop, the sound of falling water. When I opened my eyes again, I found that this was the same old place - a flooded corridor.
It was here that he stole Qin Xishuang's Yin-Yang Pisces Pendant.
"You died here, didn't you, Miss Xing'er?" Wei Wei soaked his hands in cold water to relieve the pain. On both sides of the corridor, clumps of paper figurines grew vigorously in the cracks of the stones. The smell was so pungent that he almost fainted.
The sobbing of a ghost echoed in the void: "I am sinking... wuwu, I am sinking."
After Xing Er woke up, she slipped and fell here. When she got married, she took the black jade pendant with her as a treasure.
She died here and the jade pendant was left in the corridor.
His head was becoming increasingly dizzy. Wei Wei gritted his teeth, bit his broken nail, and pulled it out forcefully!
The severe pain drove away his tiredness, and he woke up briefly and began to look for a way out.
: Such a ruthless person, it hurts just looking at him.
: I admire you. I really admire you.
: Be ruthless to yourself.
: He was even more ruthless to others. Gu Kang died in such a tragic way, have you forgotten?
: I feel like after watching this video, I will be stabbed in the back by a eunuch.
He Lun replied angrily: Who do you think you are to be stabbed in the back by Wei Wei? Does he even want to look you in the eye?
Wei Wei found a flashlight that was still working and used it to illuminate the way out.
One of the exits of the flooded corridor is the stairs leading to the stone coffin, but the sarcophagus is sealed and he cannot open it without any skills.
Every time he was about to faint, Wei Wei would pull out a nail. He pulled out the nails on all ten fingers, but still couldn't find a new way out.
It looked like he was going to die here.
Since he couldn't escape anyway, he might as well go deeper. Wei Wei walked further and further, turning around and around, and finally found an underground lake. The water in the tunnel came from this lake.
He swam across the lake and came to the shore. He hadn't eaten for a whole day and was now hungry and cold. But without food, Wei Wei drank two sips of cold water and rested on a clean-looking white stone.
After a few seconds, I vaguely felt that something was wrong.
The stone is moving.
Looking back, I saw that one end of the stone was swinging back and forth, sometimes expanding and sometimes shrinking. When it expanded, the stone cracked, revealing a transparent golden crack in the gap.
There is not only this stone. On the shore, there are dozens of moving olive-shaped white stones, about one meter long, wriggling at an extremely slow speed.
In the empty underground cave, the clicking sound of the moving stone cocoons continued to be heard, like the chirping of some strange insects.
Wei Wei frowned and tapped the stone: "This looks like... a pupa."
: Grass, grass, grass, it looks so scary. Will something hatch from this pupa?
: Didn’t the lame man say that there really are ghosts here? Ghosts will be hatched here.
: I bet five broken bones that Wei Wei will die here.
: Why doesn’t he run away?
: Why run? You will die anyway, just repeat the cycle again.
Wei Wei stroked the stone cocoon and his throat moved up and down.
: Why don't you run away? I'm so worried.
: I think drowning in the lake is better than being chased by a female ghost.
: Why do I feel like the eunuch is... greedy?
Wei Wei lifted a stone and broke the cocoon, and the yellowish liquid flowed out. Wei Wei washed his hands and ate the thick liquid.
：I have six points to make...
: As expected of a blind man’s follower^^ Every step is unexpected.
: Fuck, can this thing be eaten???
: Well, it's really edible and quite clean. After the insects undergo complete metamorphosis and become cocoons, all their organs dissolve into proteins to provide nutrition for the imaginal disc inside the cocoon. However, this thing is not an insect.
The contents of the cocoon have a cheese texture and can be pulled into strings. The aroma of grass mixed with the aroma of protein is very similar to fruit wood barbecue. Wei Wei took a bite and his eyes lit up.
Of course it’s not because the cocoons are delicious, but because the cocoons contain extremely powerful energy, just like the remains of our ancestors.
Moreover, this energy is extremely pure, better than the first-level ancestral remains.
In less than half a minute, the nails he had just pulled out grew back, he no longer felt dizzy, his eyes were no longer blurry, and he was completely recovered.
After Wei Wei had eaten his fill, he smashed the cocoon into pieces. The pale yellow liquid flowed into the lake. All of a sudden, the water was stirred, forming a vortex and glowing faintly.
He found another "stone" in the cocoon. This stone was white, translucent, and had a light blue fluorescence. It felt cool to the touch and could not be heated by hand.
Wei Wei has seen this kind of stone before.
In the [Princess Castle Rules Strange Stories] copy, they killed little Gao Mengtang, and little Mengtang's body turned into this kind of ore.
If I'm not mistaken, this stone is equivalent to the "imaginal disc" of an insect cocoon, in other words, the embryo of an adult insect.
"Fu Ling. There really is a Fu Ling in this copy." Wei Wei murmured.
When he looked back, the stirring had stopped. Wei Wei had strength left and did not want to give up this cycle easily, so he dived into the lake and searched around, but still could not find the exit.
Just as I was about to swim to the shore, I suddenly saw a white stone the size of a palm at the bottom of the lake.
It is the white jade pendant among the Yin-Yang Pisces pendants!
Wei Wei picked up the jade pendant. There was a lot of mud and sand in the gaps between the carvings. It must be that when the lake water was stirred, the silt at the bottom of the lake basin was stirred up, allowing the white jade pendant to see the light of day again.
The two black and white jade pendants must have fallen into the hands of different people. One of them was stolen by Xing Zhe and given to Miss Xing'er. The white jade pendant was buried deep in the mud and must have fallen into the lake many years ago.
: It made me laugh to death. I just watched Qin Xishuang’s clearance video. He spent half a day digging in the mud at the bottom of the lake, more than 10 meters deep, before he found this jade pendant.
: And then it was snatched away by the blind man :)
: Crazy (well done)
: Buried ten meters deep in the lake? Based on this, it is speculated that this white jade pendant fell into the lake at least two hundred years ago. I don't know where it came from.
Wei Wei couldn't find the exit and didn't want to leave, so he turned around a few times and picked out the largest and most happily twisting white stone cocoon and smashed it.
The cocoon shell broke with a snap. Wei Wei reached his hand inside and suddenly retracted his hand as if he was scalded.
He felt something bumpy, soft on the outside and hard on the inside.
It looks like... a face.
All the white stone cocoons began to vibrate with a click, and shrank and collapsed one after another. The contents evaporated into specks of silver light, and gathered into glittering ribbons, passing through Wei Wei's body and merging into the smashed cocoon.
The scene was like a river of stars, magnificent yet solemn and awe-inspiring, making it impossible for people to appreciate the beauty at all.
"￥#, &."
A voice came from the cocoon, in a language that Wei Wei could not understand.
Outside the screen, the Rabbit Enemy was sprawled on the lazy sofa, but upon hearing these words, he sat up straight.
"The language of the other world?" Duan Song asked.
The enemy rabbit nodded: "He asked, who are you."
A face peeked out from the gap in the cocoon, and the three-dimensional and delicate facial features were covered with a layer of mucous membrane.
Even so, it can be seen that this person is very beautiful. Wei Wei has also seen this face before, and it is the person who appeared in the stone tablet.
He only has a face. Where the brain and body should be, it is still a wriggling ball of flesh. It looks like a white maggot with a human face mask attached to it.
"Human?" The creature that looked like Fu Ling asked in the awkward Zhongzhou language.
Wei Wei calmed down and said, "Yes, I, I want to leave here. May I ask who you are?"
The unknown creature slowly looked at the red wedding dress on Wei Wei. Normally, being looked at like this would make one feel uncomfortable. But his expression was compassionate and solemn, making people feel closer to faith, full of strength, and able to rely on him.
"Where to go?" He asked.
Wei Wei: "Anywhere is fine except Renxin Valley. Who are you?"
"I..." The flesh worm that was sticking to the human face shrank back into the cocoon, and the silver light slowly repaired the crack caused by Wei Wei.
A multi-layered silver magic circle with intricate patterns appeared under Wei Wei's feet.
"Li Mo."
The voice fell, as vague as a dream. When he opened his eyes again, Wei Wei had been teleported away. In front of him was a strange city and the sunshine of the human world.
[Past·Ebb] The secret realm ends.
*
The time in the secret realm was different from that in the dungeon. The time the three of them spent in the secret realm ranged from 1 day to 1 month, while in the dungeon, the difference was only a few seconds.
Gao Mengtang returned to the copy and struggled hard in the water twice, and He Luo's tentacles lifted him up.
"Mr. Blind, are you okay?" Wei Wei shouted.
Gao Mengtang coughed up two mouthfuls of water: "It's okay. How about you? Where's Xiao Canglan?"
Freesia also lay on He Luo's tentacle, bit off a large piece of meat, chewed it, chewed it, but it didn't taste good, so she spit it all out.
He Luo slapped her and threw her to the shore, then gently put Gao Mengtang down.
"Awoo! Why don't you ask me?" Pegana swam to the shore on his own, shaking his red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple fur, and howled angrily.
The dirty green lake water became clear again. Butcher Li Xing'er was nowhere to be seen, and only the sobbing sounds of "woooo" and "woooo" could be heard.
There was another person struggling in the lake, it was Wu Feng who had turned into a bloody man.
After thinking about it, Wei Wei rescued him to shore and took out some healing items from the black tower to help him heal his wounds.
Wu Feng's skin was dissolved and she was unrecognizable. The Black Tower's healing props were only responsible for saving lives, not for medical beauty.
Wu Feng's life was saved, but he turned from a handsome young man into a monster, as if he had been splashed with concentrated sulfuric acid and was completely disfigured.
"My face! My face!!" Wu Feng screamed heartbreakingly, kicking and rolling on the ground.
The noise alarmed the Wu Xiang's old house, and Miss Xiu Hong came out holding an oil-paper umbrella to check the situation. Seeing Wu Feng's miserable appearance, she just frowned and said, "What kind of species is this, a human?"
Wei Wei: "He is from Changming Village, his name is Wu Feng."
Wu Feng was a rare student from a prestigious university in the village. Miss Xiuhong also recognized him. She was surprised: "Wu Feng?! How did he become like this?"
Wei Wei made up an excuse: "I fell into the lake and was attacked by some monster."
"You three are also soaked. Did you fall into the lake as well? How come you are okay?" Xiuhong asked.
Wei Wei: "I don't know why either."
"Shit luck," Xiuhong said, raising her chin and saying commandingly, "Wait here, I'll go find Wu Xiang to take a look."
After a while, amid the rain, there was a tapping sound, and Xiuhong came over supporting an old man.
Wei Wei was craving for a cigarette, and as soon as he came out of the secret realm, he couldn't wait to light a cigarette. When he heard the "tapping" sound, he paused and looked over.
He slightly widened his eyes and said, "That lame guy is Wu Xiang."
