My Healing Game - Chapter 703
There was nothing wrong with the ceremony of worshiping the Lake God, the problem was that the worshippers were different from before.
Guan Miao glanced at Han Fei quietly, and did not dare to continue speaking, he was afraid that Han Fei would say something outrageous again.
After the copper coins fell into the water, the wooden boat was much faster, and the water ghosts in the lake seemed to really just want to collect the passing money.
The water collided with the wooden boat, and the gurgling sound of the water seemed to carry a special melody, making people’s hearts involuntarily follow it up and down.
The more they rowed toward the center of the lake, the quieter the surroundings, as if they had come to another space.
Here there is only a bottomless lake and an endless night.
The sense of direction gradually weakened, and several people on the boat felt that their bodies were also undergoing subtle changes. They were obviously sitting on the boat, but they felt that their bodies were slowly sinking.
Everything seems to be in a dream that cannot be escaped. The consciousness can clearly perceive that the body is flooded with cold water, the sight is submerged by the lake, and the breathing gradually becomes difficult.
“Don’t fall asleep!”
Han Fei, who was sitting on the bow, spoke abruptly. He waved Xu Qin’s curse into the bodies of the three companions, and the bitter pain from the heart brought them back to their senses.
“The curse I put on you won’t hurt you, it’s just to prevent you from being brought into a dream.” At the very moment, Han Fei could only take the simplest and most effective way to deal with it, using the curse to fight the poison with poison. Although it would be a little painful, it always Better than dying in a dream.
When Yan Le and the lifeguard were cursed, they only felt severe pain, while Guan Miao showed strong unease after coming into contact with Xu Qin’s curse.
There was a lot of blood oozing from under his hood, and scars similar to fish scales fell off. Even more terrifying, some black bugs crawled out of the wound on Guan Miao’s skin.
Those bugs also seem to have emerged from the black cocoon. They look completely different from butterflies. They are extremely ugly, like bringing together the ugliness and disasters of the entire world.
The lifeguard wanted to avoid Guan Miao, but the boat was so big that he could only keep curling back to prevent those bugs from crawling on him.
“Old man, are these parasites on your body? Do you usually like to drink raw water?” The lifeguard endured it for a while, but still asked.
“I don’t know when these things entered my body.” Guan Miao shook his head, he took off the blood-stained turban, revealing his somewhat scary face: “In my memory it’s just constant Dream, and then the body starts to get sick.”
“As long as you have a dream of turning into a fish, your body will grow fish scale lines, and these scar-like things will appear. Can dreams really affect reality?”
The lifeguard was surprised after examining the old people’s bodies. He thought that dreams can only bring people mental pain and torture. Who would have thought that dreams can also change a person’s body.
“Uninterrupted nightmares affect a person’s heart, spirit and consciousness. The real reason for the mutation of the body is the cocoon.” Han Fei also knows a little about dreams: “Dream seems to have all kinds of cocoons. , there are different bugs in each cocoon, and those bugs are probably also human.”
Han Fei remembered the human chrysalis made by butterflies. It turned some unique souls into worms, so that those corrupt souls could be reborn on another body in this way.
The wood pulp repeatedly set off splashes, and the boat rowed toward the depths of the darkness for more than ten minutes. The island in the middle of the lake that the old man said still did not appear.
Both the lifeguard and Yan Le’s mother began to become restless, saying that they would be there in twenty minutes, and now half an hour has passed.
“Could we be deceived?” Yan Le’s mother stared at Guan Miao, her mouth opened wide, and an adult woman’s face appeared in her throat. She doesn’t care whether Han Fei can destroy the ritual of the dream, but only cares about the safety of her daughter. Han Fei took advantage of this and tied her to his side.
“It’s coming soon, it should be soon.” Guan Miao had no idea, he took out a compass-like thing from under his clothes, and after fiddling a few times, he found that the pointer on the compass kept spinning: “How could this be?”
Picking up the flashlight in the cabin, Guan Miao tied it to the rope and slowly put it into the lake.
The bright light from the flashlight dispelled part of the darkness and allowed everyone to see clearly under the wooden boat.
“what is that!”
Directly below the boat, there was a large shadow, which seemed to be following the boat.
“too big!”
A rough estimate is that the shadow is more than six meters long, twice as long as the wooden boat.
“Water monster?” Lifeguard players have never seen such a big fish in a freshwater lake, and it doesn’t look like a fish at all!
Everyone on the boat panicked, and Guan Miao was also stiff. He didn’t know if he should take back the flashlight. The underwater thing seemed to have sensed the light.
The current became obviously turbulent, the wooden boat undulated up and down greatly, and there was a possibility of capsize at any time.
“Quick! Turn off the flashlight!”
The underwater shadow floated forward, and Guan Miao heard Han Fei’s voice, and immediately pulled the rope back and turned off the flashlight.
Darkness returned to the surroundings, and only the bow of the ship was still dimly lit.
“The water monster seems to be following the light of the lantern? I seem to know why hitting the lantern can break the obstruction of the water ghost.” The lifeguard glanced at the lantern on the bow: “The underwater monster was attracted by the firelight and swam under the boat. Of course those water ghosts don’t dare to come, they are not for your ancestors’ face, but are afraid of the huge shadow.”
Guan Miao has lived by the water for so long, and this is the first time he has seen a giant underwater, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: “I can’t say the same, since my grandfather’s generation, there is a saying that lanterns lead the way. , that water monster might be a friend of my ancestors.”
“Don’t talk, keep quiet.” Han Fei also saw something underwater. His eyesight far exceeded that of ordinary people, and he could vaguely see the outline of the giant shadow with the help of the light of the flashlight.
The water was no longer calm. Han Fei stood at the bow of the boat and carefully observed the changing water patterns. His expression gradually became solemn. After a while, he shouted at several people: “Hold on to the wooden boat!”
Just one second after Han Fei finished speaking, the bottom of the wooden boat was violently hit, and the whole boat was almost overturned!
“Paddle forward! Go to the island in the middle of the lake!”
Han Fei has been rowing for half an hour, and it must be too late to go back now, they can only go ahead with a desperate gamble.
Without waiting for the wooden boat to stabilize, Han Fei grabbed the wood pulp and started paddling. His stamina exceeded thirty points.
The impact of the underwater monster seemed to be some kind of signal, the darkness was shattered, and a fluffy black water plant quickly fled.
“quick!”
The four people on the boat did not dare to stay, and tried their best to row forward. The huge shadow was not ready to let them go. The collision just now seemed to be just a test.
An indescribable sense of urgency hit the hearts of several people. All they can do now is to protect the only boat. If it falls into the water, the consequences will be disastrous.
In the face of unknown danger, Yan Le’s mother was the first to react. She knew that her daughter could not swim. Once she fell into the water, it would be difficult for her to escape even if there were many ghosts sealed in her body. In a bad situation, she put her hand down her throat and pulled out a **** sac from it.
“This is rotten flesh with a ‘dream’ aura, and those ghosts should like it very much.”
The flesh sac is not large, and the skin is similar to that of an orange, covered with white and brown lines, and it will shrink and expand regularly when touched by hand.
Yan Le’s mother waved her arms and threw the thing far away.
The stinking meat sac splattered black blood beads. When it was about to fall into the lake water, a huge wave rose, a huge black shadow jumped out of the water, and the torn mouth swallowed the meat sac instantly.
“My God!” The water splashed wet the lifeguard’s body. He stared blankly at the place a few meters behind him. The scene of the shadow jumping out of the water just now was deeply imprinted in his heart.
“Paddle fast! Don’t be stunned!” Yan Le’s mother spat out a mouthful of blood, she grabbed the rope from the boat and tied Yan Le to the wooden boat: “The monsters at the bottom of the lake are very sensitive to the breath of ‘dream’, and they are all subjected to the resurrection ceremony Could it be that Meng has prepared an inhuman body for himself?”
My mind is the largest lake in the city. The center of the lake is very deep, and it is connected to the underground river. It is said that through those rivers, every corner of the city can be reached.
If the brain is compared to the brain of a city, the countless underground rivers are like nerves and blood vessels extending from the brain. There must be a deeper reason for the dream to hold the resurrection ceremony here.
The underwater monster was attracted by the meat sac, which bought time for Han Fei and the others. They rowed forward desperately, and a small island finally appeared in their field of vision.
The island was looming in the dark, looking like a black eye.
Hope is right in front of them, and the four of them worked extremely hard. Just as the distance between them and the island in the heart of the lake was getting closer, the surroundings fell into dead silence again. There was a murderous intention hidden under the water, but it was calm above the water.
“Have you heard the child cry?” Guan Miao suddenly raised his head, and his eyes were already different from normal people unconsciously. They looked like fish’s eyes, which looked very scary.
“It seems that there really is…” The lifeguard pricked up his ears and looked in the direction from which the cry came. On the left side of the island in the heart of the lake, there was a broken boat upside down on the water, and there was a bamboo basket hanging at the stern of the broken boat. Wearing a lot of old clothes, the baby’s cry came from the bamboo basket.
“Do you still want to sacrifice babies alive when you worship the lake god?” Han Fei glanced at Guan Miao, his hands kept moving, keeping the speed of the boat.
“How is that possible!” Guan Miao shook his head again and again: “There are only three animals and…”
“And what?”
“Anyway, we will never sacrifice babies. It’s too hysterical.” Guan Miao lowered her head and didn’t dare to look at Han Fei again.
“Then there is no need for us to save the baby. Who would bring the baby out to fish for no reason? The bamboo basket should contain other things.” Han Fei is not stone-hearted, he just keeps his senses at all times.
“Something else is pretending to be a baby? But this cry is too similar.” The lifeguard is a good person, otherwise he would not be a lifeguard, the salary is not much, and sometimes he will risk his life.
“Listen to me!” Han Fei was the backbone of the team, and he continued to row towards Huxin Island without hesitation.
Seeing them pass by the broken boat, the old clothes on the bamboo basket suddenly slipped off, and an ugly scaleless fish jumped out of the bamboo basket and fell into the water.
“That fish can still make the cry of a baby?” The lifeguard took a deep breath. He was about to say something when the broken boat not far away was overturned. things are crawling.
If Han Fei and the others approached just now, as long as they enter the waters, they are likely to be targeted by those crawling water bugs.
“What the **** is going on in this world?” The lifeguard felt that the world had a big problem. It was the end of the living. All kinds of weird stories and monsters emerged one after another, and there was no safe place.
After avoiding the broken ship, Han Fei and the others successfully approached the island in the center of the lake.
Under the guidance of Guan Miao, they tied the boat to the simple ferry on the shore with the fastest speed, and the four quickly went ashore.
“Don’t forget what’s on the boat, bring it all to the island!”
With his feet on the ground, the sense of urgency in his heart faded a little. Han Fei held the statue and looked around.
The island in the center of the lake can be seen at a glance. In addition to various strange rocks and trees, the most eye-catching is a three-story stone house.
“Put the statue of the lake **** in the shrine and complete the second half of the ceremony. It should be enough.” Guan Miao’s heart ignited hope. He did not expect that everyone would actually be able to successfully land on the island. I found that my voice was significantly different than before, as if I was immersed in water, and my pronunciation became more and more blurred.
Walking along the stone road to worship the gods, Han Fei was holding the statue with a strange expression on his face. He vaguely felt that something was calling him.
The resurrection ceremony of the dream was clearly in his mind, but he felt a trace of pain in his heart, as if the person who was sacrificed and tortured was himself!
The closer he got to the stone house, the stronger the feeling, but at this time he couldn’t think about so many things. With Xu Qin and the Death Sword, he was confident that he could deal with most ghosts.
Soon, the four of them came to the door of the stone house. The surrounding area was full of locust trees, most of which were dead, and only a few trees near the stone house were particularly lush.
“Just open the door and go in. The next ceremony needs to be done by yourself.” Guan Miao clenched her hands and looked a little nervous.
“Am I going in alone?”
“Yes, normally, only the orphans who participated in the ceremony can board this isolated island. Everyone else is waiting for him in the boat. After he has placed the statue, everyone will go back together.” Guan Miao talked about the traditions of the village.
“Is that really the case?” Han Fei grabbed Guan Miao’s collar: “Come with me.”
Pushing open the door of the stone house, a damp stench came out.
The inside of the stone house is not the ground, it is completely hollowed out, it is a bottomless pool.
Holding a flashlight, under the turbid water surface, you can vaguely see something swimming.
“The wooden ladder is on the left wall, and the shrine is on the top of the stone roof, suppressing the entire lake.” The old man pointed to the third floor of the stone house.
Everyone looked in the direction of his fingers~www.mtlnovel.com~ There were rotten wooden ladders hanging on the walls of the disrepaired stone house, and the ladder connected to the top floor of the stone house.
In the center of the stone roof, which is the center of the whole mind, a wooden shrine was built.
This shrine seems to be reinforced every year, and its shape is also different from all the shrines Han Fei has seen before.
“Open the shrine and put the statue in it.”
It’s easy to say, but it’s difficult to do. The wooden ladder is seriously rotted, and if you step on it, it will fall directly into the pool where something is hidden. Moreover, the statue is very heavy, and it is very difficult to hold the statue with one hand, and it is necessary to carefully run along the wooden ladder to the top of the stone house.
After staying at the door for a while, Han Fei picked up the statue of the lake god: “All the shrines in the world of shrines are symbols of some kind. I want to see what the shrines ‘Dream’ prepared for me look like?”
After moving his arm, Han Fei entered the stone house. He grabbed the wooden ladder with one hand and climbed up.
The sound of the cracks expanding constantly sounded on the wooden ladder, and the sawdust fell from the heights, sank into the deep pool, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
