Chapter 627 Blood Thief
"Cough cough cough cough...huhu..."
The cough sounded like late-stage tuberculosis, and the cougher seemed to be trying to cough up the thick phlegm in his throat, but was unable to do so.
"Shh..." Chen Ke made a shushing gesture. He glanced at the building, but there was no one inside.
"What did you see?" Daniel asked quietly. He had already guessed that Chen Ke's sparkling blue eyes had some kind of detection ability.
"I didn't see anything, that's the problem." Chen Ke replied.
He picked up the REC7 automatic rifle and walked slowly towards the source of the sound. Behind him, the secret guards were also ready for battle.
In the low bungalow, a moldy smell wafted from the windows sealed by wooden bars. Chen Ke pointed the muzzle of his gun into the dark cracks in the wooden bars and blew a blow, causing a puff of dust to spread.
"Cough cough cough cough..." The cough inside seemed to be a response to Chen Ke.
"Who's inside?" Chen Ke asked.
"Uh... Wuwu..." The person inside made a strange moaning sound.
"...Do you want Jianmin throat tablets, brother?" Chen Ke asked again.
There was silence for a moment, and suddenly, a small black stone was thrown out of the crack, and fell into the mud with a grunt.
"This... is for you..." the thing inside said in a deep voice.
Chen Ke looked down and saw that it was a small stone about the size of a thumb cap with complex patterns.
"What is this...?" Chen Ke asked.
There was no more sound from inside. Chen Ke held the rifle guard in his left hand, held the rifle against his chest, put his right hand on the wooden bar sealing the window, and with a bang, used a burst of psychic energy to stretch the wooden bar away.
He cautiously leaned into the window and scanned the room with his gun. Dirty floors and musty, dilapidated furniture came into view. There was nothing in the room.
"Interesting..." Chen Ke said to himself.
"Did you see anything?" Brown asked from behind.
"Nothing." Chen Ke shook his head.
"It's really strange that there is such a loud coughing sound." Daniel shook his head.
Chen Ke bent down and picked up the small stone. It was about the size of a thumb and had lines on it similar to plum cores. It was black and gave off a foul odor.
"What is this...why are you giving me this?" Chen Ke didn't know what the use of this thing was, so he put it in his pants pocket first. What happened just now was definitely not groundless. I wonder if Diana had experienced it when she came here. Such a thing.
"The destination is not far from here. If it is safer here, we can plug in the second light." Ying Guode suggested at this time.
"It's time. This is a long way from Fountain Square in the city. If we fail, we can start again from here..." Daniel nodded.
Chen Ke felt a little strange as he watched them talk about the resurrection from the dead.
"Is that lamp artificial?" Chen Ke asked.
"Nature can't conjure up a lamp." Yinghuode said with a smile.
"Are those people who were born from...the lamp still the same people as before?" Chen Ke asked tentatively.
The secret keepers around him all looked at him, their eyes revealing unfriendly messages.
"You're asking too much, why not share your secret first?" Daniel said.
"Let's get on our way." Chen Ke ended the topic, picked up the rifle and checked the magazine.
The keepers planted a white light on the roadside, and Daniel and the others didn't say much and started heading towards the trail in the distance.
The road is full of corpses of monsters. Chen Ke guesses that it was the work of Diana when she arrived last time, but other secret keepers regard this as Chen Ke's work. However, judging from the shape of the wound, the monster's death state did not match the weapon in Chen Ke's hand, so Daniel and Yingbode guessed that Chen Ke had other weapons that he had not yet revealed.
"This road leads to a dead end," Daniel said.
Chen Ke walked aside, not knowing if he was talking to him, but he looked at Daniel.
"It's very quiet. It looks like this place is no different from the last time you came here. I think we are not very lucky. They have either left or they have never been here." Brown shook his head.
"But at least we have to bring back the companion who is trapped here." Daniel said.
The path was not too long. After walking for more than ten minutes, it began to slope slightly and turned into a cliffside path. An abnormal sea appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and the waves crashed against the rocks on the cliff. A cool, salty smell hit my face.
Chen Ke looked at the sea. From a geographical point of view, whether it was the UK in his memory or Ingram here, it was impossible to encounter a sea based on the geographical location on the map. After all, Longton It is an inland city, and there is no such sea area in Ingram.
"This is the border of reality, and the other side of the sea is the border of fantasy." Daniel said.
"What's on the other side?" Chen Ke asked.
"You can't get to the other side. Be careful not to slip down. Real things will disappear immediately if you fall in." Ying Guode said.
The secret keepers lined up and walked forward cautiously. At the end of the path, Chen Ke saw a large house built on the mountain wall. An unpleasant smell wafted out from the dark hall.
He scanned it with his spiritual vision as usual and found nothing. The secret keepers rushed in with guns in their left hands and cold weapons in their right hands. Chen Ke followed them without saying a word.
The dark wooden corridor was spacious, but it was pitch dark inside. A disgusting stench filled the air. The keepers took out small lanterns and hung them around their waists. The orange light made the corridor a little clearer.
Chen Ke saw many remains of mummies on the floor. Their thin bodies and black, dry skin looked like zombies.
Chen Ke was suddenly tripped by something. He turned back and kicked it, and found a hard lump of meat.
"They are some losers." Some keepers whispered.
Chen Ke did not ask them, probably because they were too lazy to pay attention to him. However, Chen Ke guessed that these things should be similar to the women that Little Jack killed in the alley, but they had been dead for too long and were already hard.
There was nothing in this room. At the end was a large hall. The keepers searched, and Chen Ke stood aside to watch the excitement. He came, but felt that his trip was in vain. There was nothing here, and Ms. Maria was not here.
Not long after, the keepers found their companion in a small room. When they got him out of the room, he was dead.
For both Chen Ke and the keepers, the end of this expedition was not good.
"You are right. We can achieve each other." Daniel said.
"It seems that I am not lucky. Ms. Maria is not here." Chen Ke shook his head and took back his weapon and sighed.
The keepers mourned for their companions. Brown, Daniel and Yingguode stood there to discuss the next things. Chen Ke walked aside and looked at the surrounding environment.
At this time, a resentful voice floated into Chen Ke's ears.
"Blood thief...curse you...curse you to suffer forever...your descendants will be tortured by being disemboweled for generations...ah...blood thief..."
This voice was neither male nor female, and it was extremely resentful. It could be heard that he had suffered a great injustice. Chen Ke looked up at the ceiling and saw a hole on it. A ray of pale light shone into the room from the hole.
"What is that?" Chen Ke seemed to see something entrenched on the top of the cave, but there was clearly nothing there.
At this moment, he suddenly felt that his body was grabbed by something and squeezed tightly.
"Not good!" Chen Ke said secretly, trying to free his hands to do something, but the force that was wrapped around him was too strong, making him unable to move. Chen Ke was slowly taken off the ground, and the ray of white light became stronger and stronger, as if it was a portal.
"Curse you... Blood Thief! Curse you!"
Chen Ke was dragged into the white light and disappeared without a trace, while the secret keepers around him were indifferent.
"Did you see him?" Ingod looked around the room at this time, but he didn't find Chen Ke.
"Isn't he right next to it? Huh?" Daniel said as he turned around and found that Chen Ke was gone.
