Shadow Code - C23

Suddenly, I accidentally stepped on empty air and fell into an unknown abyss.

In a daze, I felt a claw groping around my body, but I struggled to wake up. The feeling passed, and I fell into a state of conscious death.

When I opened my eyes, I was in a daze. After an unknown amount of time, I finally heard a voice. It was also a familiar voice that made me wake up a little.

“Third brother is awake. Hurry and get some water, pockmarked brother!”

“Xiao San, come and drink a little first!”

“Don’t ask too much. When are you going to take a break? When are you going to remember that everything is back to normal?” I saw my sister slip a rag into my arms and move it around as if she had felt claws on me, and the pockmarked girl kept staring at me.

” You had very strange eyes back then, I couldn’t figure out what you saw, so I shouted at you to ask, but you didn’t even turn around to answer me. Later on, we saw you running into Blackwater Cliff, we didn’t dare to let you go on your own, and just chased after you, but that time you were running at an astonishing speed, you were just like an owl wolf, fortunately little sister was agile, and with a somersault, she caught up to you. But right at the moment she caught up, you stepped on air, fell down, little sister also jumped in, I was the last, we all came down right now! ” Ma Zi spoke randomly and I roughly understood what she meant. I looked at my little sister again, wanting to hear what she had to say.

“I think that the mysterious world that Vadang created is not fake. Previously, the time that we fell into the trap was very short, so if you didn’t save us, maybe I would have continued inside the gate, and Brother Pai might have entered into another place with a group of dancing ancient women. But we all missed it, so we ended up following you here!”

” It makes a little bit of sense, but thinking about it, if I didn’t save you guys at that time, then this time, maybe the pockmarks would have gone to the dancers, and you went to the half door heap, and I would have stayed at the Black Water Cliff feces heap by myself. Only then did I sort things out and begin to pay attention to where we were at the moment.

“I don’t know. It should be a pit at the bottom of Blackwater Cliff. It’s just that it’s very difficult for us to climb up. Right, I’ll take this tile with me!” She took the piece of tile from me and stuffed it into her undergarment.

“Don’t panic, that’s a dead man!” The pockmark pressed down on me.

“Dead? What the hell, why are you squatting here like we are! ”

“He’s not squatting, he’s actually so tall!” The pockmark dragged me forward.

” This person must have been skinned alive! ” the little sister said.

” “What do you mean?”

” “I heard that there is a very cruel burial garment. It is said that instead of wearing silk and silk, gold and silver, or pearls and jade, one finds a living person with a body similar in size to the dead person and skin him alive, putting him on while he’s still warm. It is said that this kind of burial clothes can protect the dead person from rotting away!”

“Isn’t this nonsense? I already have skin on me, so if I had another layer of skin on me, I wouldn’t have rotted. Bullshit logic!”

“Of course it’s not that simple. The person who was chosen to make the burial clothes has to drink a type of medicinal soup a hundred days in advance, and then use the sun as a bath every afternoon. The medicinal soup will nourish his skin from the inside, and the Zang Redgrass will seep out and nourish his skin.

“How do you know this dead man is dead?”

“This is because it’s said that people who have been soaked by Zang Hongji grass would be able to seep into the red lake from the inside out. Of course, the burial clothes they made would also be of a bright red color!”

“Cruel, perverted, and simply devoid of humanity!” I looked at the pygmy victim and felt pity for him. I could not be afraid.

“So we’re in a dead man’s cave that’s shelved for burial?” The pockmark suddenly took a few steps back and looked around timidly.

“More or less, perhaps there is more than one red corpse like this, because after many burial clothes are completed, the most important step is to skin them alive, to ensure that they are not damaged at all. Almost everyone will not be able to withstand the pain and struggle, causing the burial clothes to be damaged, so, a successful burial clothes requires a lot of sacrifices!” The younger sister continued, “If we can find something to burn, I have flint here. We can take a look at this hole!”

“F * ck, this one won’t do. It looks green at first glance, so it’s best to find some dried up soy tree!” Just as I said this, the branch in pockmarked hand twisted a little. I thought it was caused by the pockmarked hand, but it shook the branch as if it was electrocuted. “That’s, that’s not a branch, it’s a living being!”

” Snake? Did you just pick up a green snake? ” Only the snake is similar to the rope stick, I all over the chicken skin, panic-stricken.

” “No, no, it shouldn’t be a snake, because when I took it just now, it looked like it was hollow. How could a living snake be hollow?” The pockmark looked back in the direction he had flung it.

?” We squatted down in the relatively bright light of the cave entrance. It probably wasn’t a snake, because it had no head or tail, but as we watched, it did occasionally writhe, and when it did pinch, I squeezed, too, and it was hollow, like an empty piece of snake skin left behind by a snake. But how could a snake’s skin be alive? We all know that snakes have a strong life force. If you skinned a snake, you would chop it into pieces, then throw them into a frying pan to fry. For at least two minutes, every piece of the snake would writhe.

” Little sister, do you know him? ”

” It’s like a snake’s skin! ”

” Serpentine skin? “But how can a slough move? Besides, isn’t a slough usually the color of a cocoon?”

” Snake molt itself is not alive, but it contains living things. When it comes to temperature, it will awaken! ”

” “Besides, the snake skin should be white, and the things that parasitize inside are green. Let’s not disturb this for now, I suspect that there are a lot of these kind of snake skin in this cave. If all the living things inside were to wake up, we would have nowhere to hide!”

” “That’s not right. Since there are living things inside, how can they be hollow?” The moment I said those words, my little sister’s face didn’t look too good. I thought that I was questioning her knowledge and that she would lose a lot of face.

” Could it be the Incantation Qi? “
