Mysterious Recovery: Starting at Caesars Hotel

Chapter 18 Unable to Dissolve
  The darkness faded away, but a strange and bloody image was left on the wall, like a living three-dimensional person squeezed into a flat surface.

In the flat image, Xianglan's expression was ferocious and twisted, her hands and feet were broken, and she seemed to have suffered horrific torture before her death.

Liang Tian stared at the strange images on the wall, feeling a sense of horror in his heart. However, after seeing so many ghosts in one day and being in a strange state, he actually didn't feel much fear.

Pandan is dead, but not completely dead.

She will soon be resurrected in Room 101, at the cost of losing her memory.

However, as Xianglan died, the strange image formed by the corpse on the wall began to disappear little by little, as if it had been weathered by the years, turning into a little bit of dust and falling down.

"Living people who survive with the supernatural power of the tombstone curse will disappear when they die, and even their bodies cannot be saved." Liang Tian thought in his heart.

The weird images disappear quickly.

It took almost only a few seconds for the strange images imprinted on the wall to disappear, leaving only a gray-white stain and images of slender, pale arms.

The stains are ashes, and the slender arms are the ghosts that Pandan once controlled.

The ashes are still there, which means that when Xianglan was attacked by the ghost, she didn't even have time to react with supernatural power, and was quickly killed by the ghost.

It seems that the ghost codenamed K is very dangerous. Just one supernatural attack can suppress the recovery of the ghost's arm for a long time.

This may be related to the fact that the suppression effect of the ashes is still there and the ghost arm itself has not yet fully recovered.

Liang Tian witnessed this scene, then stopped lingering, walked quickly to the door of Room 401, and stretched out his hand to hold the door handle.

With a slight twist, the door was opened.

As soon as you step into the room.

He immediately felt a strange cold aura coming towards his face.

In his field of vision, the entire living room was undergoing earth-shaking changes, and time seemed to go back more than ten years ago.

The walls in the living room were mottled and peeling off, and layers of spider webs appeared on the corners. The red sofa was also decaying rapidly, and it was covered with a lot of dust. The neat wooden tables and chairs have become rotten and black, and can no longer be used. They will fall apart at the slightest touch.

It looked like an abandoned room that had not been inhabited for more than ten years, full of decay and dust.

"Sure enough, if you become an outlier, you can gain insight into the most real scene in Room 401."

Liang Tian took a deep breath and walked straight across the living room, leaving footprints on the dusty floor.

He found the location of the bedroom, opened the door and walked in.

The moment the door opened, the truth was revealed.

There was no movement at all in the bedroom, it was very quiet.

The wooden bed disappeared, replaced by a tombstone that had fallen down. Under the old tombstone was a body of a long-dead person.

It was a dead young man, wearing an old-style tunic suit. He looked just like him. He was lying motionless on the ground, breathless.

Being weighed down by tombstones for many years, although the body had long been cold and stiff, it still had not dried up and rotted. After more than ten years of closure, even the remaining blood stains on the floor still exist.

"Liang Tian, ​​I found your body, you should be able to be freed." Liang Tian sighed slightly, and under the influence of memories that did not belong to him, he murmured, "Although the Republic of China period has long since passed away, the only thing left in time is What cannot be defeated is blood. After I go out, I will help you see the descendants of your family."

Those cursed by tombstones will never be reincarnated.

Their own rebirth with the help of his corpse can be regarded as a win-win for both of them.

However, his whispers did not receive any response from the corpse, and the bedroom remained as dead silent as ever.

Liang Tian didn't care, and began to think about the next action plan in his mind: "If I were a real outlier, if I removed the tombstone that was holding the body, the curse would be lifted immediately. But I'm not. Once I remove the tombstone, I would lose everything." Supernatural maintenance, when I break away from the temporary alien status, I will definitely die."

"So I had to take the third step to establish a supernatural balance between the ghost river and the curse of the tombstone."

"But what should I do?"

suddenly.

He walked forward to the tombstone and put his hand on it.

The medium of touch is achieved.

The clear black and white pupils suddenly became as dark as ink.

"Crash..." In the quiet bedroom, a cold and damp breath spread, and the sound of the river flowing rapidly rang out.

"Chichi..."

The light bulbs in the bedroom flickered, the light distorting and blurring.

The river that does not exist in reality is like a flood, constantly washing away everything in the bedroom, creating a strong supernatural confrontation with the entire supernatural room.

At this time.

The upside-down tombstone experienced some kind of change. The black writings engraved on the tombstone continued to twist and deform, and finally formed a twisted and deformed human face, with its mouth open and screaming at him.

Liang Tian's eyes narrowed, but he didn't intend to retreat and give up.

Instead, the supernatural erosion of the Ghost River is intensifying.

Under the continuous erosion of the river, a terrible suppression appeared.

The old tombstone began to seep drops of dark liquid, and after flowing down, it invaded the corpse. The twisted human face composed of black writing is struggling to deform, gradually being covered, and becoming increasingly blurred.

boom!
  In an instant, the rushing sound of the river became clearer and deafening.

The surrounding light was extinguished and everything fell into darkness.

When the light returned again, it was no longer room 401, but a monotonous black and white world.

"The broken river is about to heal!"

Liang Tian's face darkened slightly, staring at the broken section of the river.

Coming to the world of consciousness, he immediately noticed this unprecedented scene.

The dark river surface that was dismembered by the hatchet and forced to stop flowing was partially healed. Every minute, the broken river water was being replenished at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The reason for all this is that the dismemberment and suppression effect of the hatchet is fading, and it is also related to the fact that in order to maintain the alien state and prolong the use of supernatural power, he overstimulated the evil spirits.

"But where is the tombstone I brought in?"

Liang Tian frowned slightly and looked around suspiciously, but found no trace of the tombstone on either this bank or the other bank.

With a sudden thrust into the river, he quickly sank to the bottom of the river.

Finally, in a corner at the bottom of the river, he saw a tombstone half-embedded in the mud, with only the upper part exposed.

Rivers from all directions continued to squeeze and erode the curse on the tombstone, even washing away part of the black writing on it.

However, every time it is completely dissolved, the tombstone will return to its original state.

"Restart? No, it's not a restart on the time level, but it refreshes its own state in the form of resurrection, so it can maintain the color of its outline even when Oni River melts."

After observing for a while, Liang Tian's eyes moved slightly when he saw this surprising scene.

Although the Tombstone Curse sank to the bottom of the river where the sun never shines, it can stubbornly resist the dissolution of the river water. Even the supernatural powers that dissolve consciousness cannot do anything about it.

The Tombstone Curse supernaturally restrained Ghost River's supernatural melting, and there was a discrepancy with the previous plan to use Ghost River to become a Tombstone Curse alien.

"But maybe, this is an opportunity to build a supernatural balance."

Liang Tian realized something and immediately clenched his fists. He didn't care that some traces of his body were disappearing under the continuous washing of the river water.

Onigawa's method of recovery is the fusion of consciousness. The higher the degree of recovery, the more serious the erosion of himself.

But things took a turn for the better at this point.

If he could master the tombstone curse and use it to repeatedly refresh his state of consciousness and interrupt the process of consciousness fusion, he could greatly delay the recovery of the evil spirit.

Thinking of this, he pulled the tombstone out of the mud, took it away from the dark river bottom, and walked to the other side together.

"The tombstone is just an object that carries a curse. It can be the tombstone, or it can be me, but how can I bite off this curse that even the ghost river can't melt away?"

Noticing this problem, Liang Tian frowned and stood aside, thinking silently.
