Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 295

[Chapter 295 Dying hallucinations]

A strong aroma of herbs permeated the room.

No, it’s not pervasive, but it appears in the perception instantly—as if the strong breath had already filled the entire space without knowing when, but this fact has always been shielded from the dimension of reality, and until now , as the old watchman’s voice fell, this ubiquitous aura suddenly revealed its existence in front of the uninvited guest!

The two men in black reacted almost instantly. The short man suddenly raised his finger and pointed at the old caretaker who was standing by the stove, and there was a low and hoarse sound in his throat, as if two voices were superimposed. Shouting strangely, the other person quickly took out a few pieces of paper with a dirty texture from his arms, and threw them into the air.

The low, hoarse and weird cry turned into a blurry ripple that was faintly visible to the naked eye, covering the space of the old caretaker in all directions like an explosion shock wave, and the pieces of paper thrown into the air split into countless silhouette fragments, and the moment it landed It turned into countless black poisonous insects and snakes, rushing towards the direction of the stove while making disgusting rustling sounds.

The old guard hunched over, silently watching these vicious attacks coming straight at him, but he didn’t have the slightest intention of avoiding them.

The shock wave tore apart the shelf next to the stove, shattered all the bottles and cans in a loud noise, and also smashed the burning stove, instantly extinguishing the flame that was emitting a strong smell of herbs in the hearth. Black venomous insects and snakes climbed onto the old man’s body, frantically biting the flesh and blood of the latter’s limbs.

The old caretaker was swallowed by these attacks almost instantly, and his crooked old body fell to the ground, turning into a pile of messy blood and clothing fragments.

All this happens within seconds.

The two men in black looked at each other nervously until the guard fell to the ground and the ashes that were still hot in the hearth were scattered all over the place.

Both of them had the same confusion on their faces.

“This solves it?” The tall and strong man looked at the wreckage on the ground in disbelief, and said to his companion suspiciously, “These weird and dangerous cemetery guards… are so easy to deal with? Or is this Is the old man the weakest among the guards?”

The short man didn’t dare to relax at all, he was still staring at the place where the old guard was standing before, and at the same time quickly glanced at the small room from the corner of his eyes, frowning. Wrinkled a little bit: “It’s strange…have you smelled…the smell of the herbal medicine is getting stronger and stronger? It seems that someone is lighting incense beside… No! Get out!” The short man seemed to suddenly understand

something In an instant, he rushed to the wooden door of the hut not far away, but when he stretched out his hand and pushed the door violently, he found that it stood still like a wall, and the seemingly fragile wooden boards felt like pouring steel.

An old and sinister voice sounded in the hut: “One of the dying hallucinations, I think I am trapped in a certain room, and the passage to leave the room is in front of me, I try to go through that passage, but I can’t find the right way. The way to open the door.”

The sudden sound startled the two men in black, and at the same time exacerbated their already faint sense of fear, and this fear would often turn into impotent anger—— The short man gave up trying to open the door, turned around and yelled into the air: “I don’t care where you hide!” After the words fell

, layers of illusory ripples appeared around him. He could vaguely see an ugly bird-shaped monster standing on his shoulder, stretching its neck and screaming—it was a “death bird” demon.

The screams of the deep demon and the roar of the short man overlapped, and a translucent shock wave swept across the entire room in an instant!

The loud noise of the furniture being torn and the furniture falling to the ground and shattering came and went one after another. The small caretaker’s hut was in a mess in the blink of an eye. Almost everything was smashed to pieces in this invisible shock wave. The side of a man in black is still intact—the tall and strong man in black propped up the barrier, while blocking the aftermath of the shock wave, he scanned the surroundings quickly, trying to find the person hiding in the twisted air. the caretaker.

He had already guessed the watchman’s trick – hallucination.

A hallucination caused by burning a powerful hallucinogen.

The watchman concealed himself with the dual effects of supernatural strength and herbs, and played tricks in this hut, but since his voice is still here, it means that he is just hiding by the side, as long as the whole room is swept once, the old man Things will always leak out.

However, he didn’t find anything. The shock wave tore apart everything in the room and stirred up the air, but he didn’t force out the watchman’s figure.

“Another dying hallucination, fear and anger will be magnified, resulting in a strong sense of powerlessness, and occasionally feel as if you are omnipotent, and even successfully reverse life and death – but this illusion often occurs after a very short moment Dissipated, and then fell into emptiness and greater fear…”

The old voice echoed in the hut, for some reason, the two men in black suddenly felt that the voice seemed to become erratic, far and near, as if separated by The light and shadow of the curtain.

“The breath of the devil——I now know who you are. It turns out that you are two Annihilation Cultists. Your disguise is very good, hiding from my eyes, but not from my intuition,” the old caretaker continued, “Why are you here? What do you want to do?”

“The Holy Lord has given us courage and pure essence!” The short man said loudly, he suppressed the fear in his heart by forcefully relying on his belief in the Youshen Holy Lord, and said Gradually fell into a kind of frenzy of sacrifice, “You stupid earthly fakes should be proud! You can only be proud for a while!” After finishing speaking,

the cultist suddenly took out a black dagger from his arms , Then he stabbed the dagger into his heart without hesitation!

“Holy Lord gave me the power to surpass life and death!”

In the situation of feeling hopeless and unable to fight against the cemetery guards with their own strength, this cultist chose to sacrifice his heart to the Youxu Holy Lord to completely release himself in the “symbiosis”. The power acquired in the “contract” is to make a last-ditch effort.

However, the expected death did not come.

He didn’t feel the excruciating pain he should have felt when the dagger pierced his body.

Didn’t even feel my own heart.

The Annihilation cultist raised his head in astonishment, and looked at his companion not far away, only to see that figure had fallen to the ground at some point, with a huge hole in his back, and the blood had already been drained.

In the last few seconds of rapidly dimming vision and growing confusion in his mind, he recognized the terrible wound caused by the close-range bombardment of a double-barreled shotgun-his companion had long since died, and he was stepping into the guard’s room. The moment he entered the hut, he was shot dead from behind by the old guard.

What about yourself?

The diminutive Annihilation cultist lowered his head and saw that he was actually sitting on a chair in the middle of the room.

A red-hot poker was inserted fiercely between his chest and abdomen, and the place where the poker touched the flesh and blood was still emitting green smoke.

He recalled being killed in a short but furious fight by a pair of pokers—just ten seconds earlier.

“That’s why… people can’t… die twice…”

the cultist muttered, tilted his head, and died completely.

“The dying hallucinations are over. May your souls be dissipated. There will be neither happiness nor suffering.”

On another chair across the room, the old guard with a gloomy temperament quietly looked at the cultist who had completely died, with a blank expression on his face. Muttering expressively.

His trusty old double-barreled shotgun was by his hand, and the messy marks of the brief struggle were everywhere around him.

The old man took a few breaths on the chair, regained some strength, then reached for the shotgun at the side, propped himself up on his knees and sat up from the chair.

“It’s really useless…the two heretics are in such a mess, and they didn’t ask anything in the end,” the old guard muttered, stepping over the tall corpse lying on the floor and another corpse on the chair, Holding the shotgun, he walked towards the wooden door of the hut, “There are still two troubles outside, I hope there is still time.”

When he came to the door, he stretched out his hand and was about to open it, but his movements stopped suddenly.

There is a strange breath approaching.

A look of vigilance instantly appeared in the eyes of the old man, and he suddenly clenched the shotgun in his hand, and the next second, a knock on the door came from the other side of the door.

“Dong dong dong—”

On this cold and silent winter night, the sudden knock on the door was actually a bit ear-piercing.

The old man didn’t make a sound, but just stared at the dark old wooden door.

The knock on the door came patiently.

There are no living people outside the door.

The old man narrowed his eyes. In his field of vision, there was a pale and dim silhouette standing outside the door. Some distorted and chaotic lights and shadows could be seen around the silhouette, but he couldn’t see what it was.

Not alive—but definitely not dead, either.

What is it? !

“Open the door, thank you.” A polite voice came from outside the door.

The old guard slowly raised his shotgun and aimed at the hazy silhouette outside the door through the door.

Before he could pull the trigger, however, there was a slight click in his ear.

The door… opened by itself.

A gorgeous and distorted starlight rushed towards his face.
