Shadow Code - C24
” So, what does all this have to do with what we’re seeing? Could it be that the legendary Curse Technique is also used on us? But normally, only the royal family would use it. Could it be that this grave is the royal family’s funeral chamber? ”
” I can’t be sure about this, but you reminded me just now, if the parasite isn’t empty, then I thought of the incantation, and I’m not sure if the hair green snake skin in front of us is real or not, but there’s a possibility that we have to be careful, and if it’s true, then we won’t be as simple as dying in a graveless place, maybe there will be endless troubles in the future, and we’ll never be able to escape the curse! ”
” little sister, if this is really a curse, how are we supposed to avoid it? ” The pockmarks were hidden far away.
” You must not break it, and vent the anger in it! ”
” “Right now, we must find something that can be burned for a torch. Otherwise, if we are not careful, we can break a snake skin under our feet, release the aura, and then, without anyone noticing, we will be hit with an incantation. Aiya, shit, we shouldn’t have stepped on it long ago!” As the pockmark spoke, he almost floated into the air with a light movement. He could not move his feet, nor could he move them.
” I have an idea. One of you take off one of your clothes, and I’ll shave some corpse oil off the corpse just now and soak it in your clothes! ” The little sister looked at me and the pockmark.
” “Little, little sister, where did you come from? How come you’re even more daring than this brother?”
” “Nutjob, you’re so long-winded. Like I said, heroes don’t ask about their origins, and bears don’t ask about their gender. You can’t ask about your little sister’s origins. Just take off your hat. It’s convenient with a zipper anyway!” I looked all over my body. It was cold to take off any of my clothes, but only the pockmarked hat was all right.
” This shouldn’t be ice, right? When I was touching the branches, I got all the dust on my hands! It’s not cold, and feels grainy to the touch! ” The pockmark said, spreading out his palm. No, there was a layer of white soil on the pockmark’s hand, which was definitely not ice or snow, because it had already been a few minutes. If the snow had already melted, could it really be white soil?
” No, Little San, I understand, this is just a corpse’s ashes, okay? ”
” Damn, could it be that we are standing on a thick layer of ashes and a red burial ground? ”
The little sister didn’t say anything. She broke the neck of the squatting red corpse and held her head in her hands. As she walked, a red head oil lamp expanded our visual field bit by bit. We followed her steps, step by step, and saw more scenes within the grave.
My mind was a mess. I suddenly realized that the world I had seen before was too simple. The real world might never be as bright as it was under the sun, but there was a corner in the darkness that was even more mysterious and real that we didn’t know about. As long as I tore it open, it would be an unstoppable mystery.
” Don’t move, pockmarked brother! ” My sister’s voice interrupted my thoughts.
It turned out that pockmarked person almost stepped on another snake skin. I indicated that we should go around and continue walking.
Those who don’t know what is happening would think that it is just a branch. Moreover, it isn’t moving at all, and from the looks of it, it doesn’t have any temperature, so it isn’t possible for me to disturb this creature. I gave it a glance, so I temporarily couldn’t analyze this matter any further.
However, after walking through this, I couldn’t help but take another glance back. Just from that glance, I unexpectedly noticed something unexpected.
One of them laughed.
There was a smile in the slough, but I couldn’t find a face.
It never occurred to me that I would not have the face to make a platform, or the smile, or the paper to make a floor, or the painting, or the heaven to make a background, or the clouds to see?
I was about to call out to them when the voice of the pockmark called out from behind me, “Run the fuck out!”
I was almost wrenched out of my mind by a powerful hand, pulled my body back, and ran.
As they were running, pockmarked man panted and explained, “I just stepped on the third shedding snake. Fuck, I missed the curse. We’re going to suffer!”
“Where’s little sister?” Where did little sister go? ”
“I ran faster than anyone, so I was already far away from you!” The pockmark was pointing at the figure in front of him. It was almost like a bird flying in the air.
“Nutjob, if that isn’t little sister, then where did little sister go?”
“But, little sister, you’re right in front. When I shouted for her to run, she really did start to run. I only turned around to pull you, then turned around, and it was as if she ran far away!”
“You don’t need to think about it. Little sister, although we just met, we aren’t people who only care about ourselves. Moreover, when little sister runs away, why didn’t you say anything? At least ask, what’s the matter?” Or call out, Follow up, what do you think? ”
I’m not running with the pockmarks, I’m not running either. I don’t know if the snake skin that was broken behind us was really a spell or not, and maybe we were already under a spell. Also, if the person in front wasn’t my little sister, then who was it, then where was my little sister?
