Chapter 231 The Soul Returns
When the butcher team came over, a lot of arrangements had been made along the way.
Whether they were placing signal sources along the way or deploying ground-escape drones, they had tested the environment near the village, but they still left him with two doubts.
First, since [Shenshui Ape] has appeared, based on the opponent's ability, there is a high probability that Ghost Golden Sheep is also nearby, but he has not sensed life fluctuations through the earth veins;
Second, there is no secret door such as a secret passage in the village. How the materials and creatures in the intelligence were transported out, and there is still no definite information about the opponent's space ability user.
Combined with the information given by Sakura on GHB, the opponent's real experimental site is likely to be shrouded in the barrier of the [Yin Yang Pen], which blocks most of the equipment's perception.
If he wanted to find clues in the deep mountains and old forests, he couldn't help with the large army, so he could only find a way to start with the Liu brothers and sisters.
Just like this, the day passed without much progress on Mo Zhou's side.
Dahuang has searched more than half of the nearby mountains, and the investigation team's encirclement has turned into a siege net. Each team is entrenched in the mountain forest, so that Bones and the others do not dare to act rashly for the time being.
Based on the opponent's investigation progress, if he doesn't start today, problems will be discovered in the anchor point on the bone.
After all, it is not like his subordinates who can liquefy and seep into the ground, and the traces on the ground are too easy to find.
And today is the day when Old Dengtou is ready to "walk away".
I saw Lao Dengtou and a few others wearing straw sandals, wearing green shirts, black belts around their waists, and cloth hats on their heads.
In addition to this outfit, there are also props such as gongs, swordsmen, and soul-catching bells. Old Dengtou seems to be much more energetic when he puts on this outfit of a corpse exorcist.
According to him, walking allows the souls of the deceased to return to their hometown. They cannot walk by water, but can only walk on mountain roads.
But the mountain road was blocked, and everyone could only take the usual mountain trails for collecting herbs and cutting firewood.
Mo Zhou watched Lao Deng and the first few people lift the body on bamboo poles, and there were people behind him carrying the coffin. He always felt that it was a bit nondescript.
In order to preserve the body during the past two days, most of the water was removed from the corpse using herbs and fumigation, but the time was too short, so we could only do it hastily.
A corpse was wearing a large shroud, with bamboo poles passed through the armpits and draped on the shoulders of several people, like a jumping zombie in traditional works.
The other body was placed in a coffin and carried like a normal funeral.
There are three things that a corpse exterminator has to do:
Those who were beheaded, hanged, or stood in a cage were expelled; those who died of illness, drowned in rivers, or were incomplete were not expelled.
For Lao Dengtou, he actually violated his conscience.
Yu Qing, the first person who died was a sudden death and should not have been rushed, but he deceived the villagers;
Yu Li, both of them were probably manipulated by Liu Ruoxin. They both died in vain and should have been driven away.
But he happened to engage in a business that was not human inside and out. He did not dare to look at people while carrying the body, and just shouted hoarsely along the way:
"The sky is dry and things are dry - be careful of fire and candles -
An old friend returns home—Pedestrians give way—"
After walking for a while, I heard him shout again:
“Bing the gong to inform ghosts and gods, and ring the bell to capture the souls.
Wearing Taoist clothes, he drives corpses in western Hunan.
Yin people go on the road, strangers avoid——"
In the village, those with inconvenient legs and feet stopped to watch, and those who still had the strength to walk saw each other off, but no one cried or sang.
Old Dengtou said that you should not cry while walking. Once you cry, the deceased feels that he has heard his family and thinks of going home, so he cannot walk.
Old Dengtou also said that the deceased could not ride in a boat or turn on a lamp, and asked Mo Zhou to keep an eye on his own dog. If he barked, he would be beaten to death.
Mo Zhou remained silent and just stayed behind the team, observing the surroundings with his scattered telepathy and qi-gazing skills in his eyes.
The Liu brothers and sisters were in front, helping to clear the way;
The four butchers were behind, seemingly trying to act according to the situation.
As the telekinesis rope on his trouser legs swayed, Dahuang's messages were interpreted by him one by one:
"Master, there are many corpses underground along the road. They seem to have been dead for a long time, but I can't smell the breath of living creatures."
Mo Zhou nodded calmly, looking at the darkening clouds on the horizon, already ready for battle.
The butcher behind him was also a little confused.
He did not hear the heartbeats of other humans. Including himself, there were only about seventy people seeing him off.
“The dark clouds have appeared, why isn’t the Ghost Golden Sheep here?
Could it be that Xingxiudian thinks that these few people can hide the truth? "
The butcher had a lot of thoughts in his mind, but he still took the lead in opening the controller in his pocket and turned on all the signal sources buried around him.
For a time, most frequency bands on several nearby mountains were jammed, leaving only specific frequency bands to maintain communication with the investigation team.
At the same time, with the butcher as the center of the circle, the cannon barrels hidden in the distance quietly adjusted their angles and locked his position.
The Liu brothers and sisters at the front looked at each other from time to time, and a pink-purple light flashed in Liu Ruoxin's eyes.
In this way, everyone saw the body off all the way. From time to time, some old people stopped and gave up. In the end, only about 20 people were left with them.
An hour later, Mo Zhou vaguely felt that something was wrong, but his telekinesis and qi-gazing techniques did not give any negative feedback.
An hour and a half later, it seemed that we were only a few kilometers away from Lao Dengtou's so-called ancestral land, and there were only a dozen people left around him.
This made Mo Zhou think of something, and he quickly tapped Dahuang's head with his telekinesis:
"Re-perceive the breath and direction, close your eyes."
After saying that, his mind directly covered Dahuang's ears, completely silencing him in the world of smell.
A few seconds later, Dahuang suddenly opened his eyes, with a confused look on his face:
"Master, we have made two circles, and now we have to go around another mountain!
And the Liu brothers and sisters were not in the front but in the back. The villagers were still there, vaguely surrounding us! "
"As expected, it was Liu Ruoxin's cognitive distortion that was causing trouble... But rather than cognitive distortion, it was an illusion."
Mo Zhou's heart condensed slightly, which made him realize that perhaps Liu Ruoxin had more than just cognitive distortion and soul conversion abilities.
After all, if cognitive distortion acts on the subject himself, he might be immune, but if it is an illusion based on a certain area, it is hard to say.
At the same time, unlike Mo Zhou's feelings, the butcher and others had been chatting with Liu Ruoxin for a long time.
"You all look healthy. The coffin bearer over there twisted his foot. I wonder if you can go and help?"
Liu Ruoxin smiled sweetly, and seemed to exude an irresistible affinity, which made the butcher frown:
"Sorry, we were also injured in the previous car accident. Now we have a mission, so it is not convenient to help. "
Liu Ruoxin's smile became more obvious when she heard this:
"Aren't you from a decoration company? This is considered a work injury, and it's okay to delay for a while. Why do you say it's so serious?"
"Of course it's serious. Two thousand people have surrounded this place for such a long time. You can't just stop working, right?"
"Oh? What kind of thing requires so many people? It sounds so powerful."
"It's all because of those bastards from Xingxiu Hall and Ge Yihui. You are living an uneasy life now because of that group of people.
But don't worry, even if everyone here dies, our investigation team will definitely stop the other party's plan!"
The butcher and others looked at the brother and sister in front of them, and their vigilance against the two was inexplicably much lower.
Liu Ruoxin saw that the time was almost right, so she asked:
"Plan? You don't even know what plan they have, how can you stop it?
And your investigation team is very powerful, you should be of high status, otherwise tell me about your glorious deeds? ”
The butcher frowned, seeming to be somewhat resistant, but the next moment he still said:
"If it were an ordinary member, most of them would not be able to find the problem. It was thanks to the headquarters that a lot of anomalies were called up and the [Martyr Plan] was launched, so... presumptuous!"
When the five words "Martyr Plan" were mentioned, the butcher's mind suddenly hurt, and the word "presumptuous" made him sober instantly, and his whole face suddenly became hideous!
[Consciousness Firewall]:
"One of the foundations of the Martyr Plan, the research results of the General Administration of the Investigation Team:
By forcibly implanting a consciousness firewall through this chip, once confidential information is mentioned when interacting with outsiders, the word "presumptuous" will be used to stimulate the implanter, and all his words will be said by these two words.
Note: If the implanter cannot break the cognitive influence, the stimulation of the chip will increase until the implanter has a mental breakdown or brain death! ! ! "
With a presumptuous, Xinyuehu's charm was destroyed, and at the same time, she and Shenshuiyuan quickly retreated, and Shenshuiyuan suddenly chanted:
"The soul is back! There is no distance.
Soul, come back! There is no east, no west, no south, no north. "
As these two lines of poetry sounded, the voice of the water ape even penetrated the illusion of the heart moon fox and resounded in the ears of Mo Zhou and others!
"Is this... the "ultimate move" of "Chu Ci"? "
As a liberal arts student, Mo Zhou had countless nightmare memories, so he reacted in less than a second.
There must be something wrong with these two lines of Chu Ci appearing here, which made him turn into flowing water in an instant, and Da Huang's eyes suddenly became alert.
And the dark clouds above everyone's heads seemed to respond to the call of the water ape, and suddenly there was an illusory rain!
The beautiful eyes of Xinyue Fox flashed, and the villagers staggered to the ground one by one. As the rain fell to the ground, illusory figures suddenly emerged from the deep mountains and old forests and drilled into the villagers' bodies!
At the same time, the coffins underground suddenly shook.
In the mountains and forests, a corpse covered by a thin layer of soil suddenly opened its eyes and pushed open the soil layer, and there was a corpse lying under it!
Shua La La——
With the sound of chains, the gloomy man also carried his own coffin.
"Old friend, there are many corpses here, you are no longer alone. "
