Chapter 124: Snatching the Hatchet
There is a supernatural passage on the fourth floor of the hotel.
On both sides of this passage, there are guest rooms with closed doors, and there is an inexplicable weirdness everywhere.
The style of the door has an old European style. It seems to be a bit old, and the wood paint on the door is peeling off.
Beyond that.
There is also a copper room number hanging on the door of these guest rooms. The numbers and style on the room number are very different from the house numbers of other rooms in the Caesar Hotel.
The bronze number on the door of the room closest to Su Mubai is "1", which means that this is the first guest room in this strange corridor.
Behind Room No. 1, the numbers on the doors on both sides of the passage are 2, 3, 4, 5... in this pattern, extending deep into the passage.
The floor of the corridor was covered with a red carpet, and Su Mubai was walking forward along the carpet.
But his feet did not touch the soft carpet, and were still a few centimeters away from the ground.
At the same time, the ghostly light on Su Mubai's body became more intense, and wisps of dark mist like ink continued to pour out from his body.
The next moment.
The ghost realm successfully opened, and the surging mist quickly spread around, covering the doors on both sides of the corridor, trying to invade and open the closed guest doors.
"Huh? No way?"
The invasion failed. This place is different from other normal floors of Caesars Hotel. The walls and doors in this corridor have a supernatural power. .
This power isolated Su Mubai's ghost realm.
"What are there in these rooms? Are they ghosts? Or something else..." Su Mubai's eyes moved slightly.
He did not want to take action against the supernatural beings in the rooms, but wanted to see what was in these rooms.
Trying to open the door was just an attempt. Even if he really pushed these weird guest rooms away, he would not go in and explore now.
“Crack!”
Su Mubai quickly walked to the door of the first guest room. He put his hand on the door of guest room No. 1 and pushed hard, trying to push the door open, but the door did not move at all.
There was still no movement from the door, as if Su Mubai was pushing not a door but a very solid wall.
"Can't it be pushed open with brute force that exceeds the limits of ordinary people? Can this door be forcibly opened only with the ability of the ghost itself?"
Su Mubai thought, and then pushed it again He opened the closed door. This time, he not only used brute force, but also added the suppression ability of the ghost hand.
"Creak~" a sound.
There was a sound of the door being pushed open, and the door of the first guest room in the corridor was slowly pushed open by Su Mubai.
The moment the guest room door opened, a cold wind blew out from the room, carrying an unpleasant smell.
Just when Su Mubai looked through the open door and was about to see what was going on inside the room, his body suddenly stopped, and then he quickly turned towards the other person. Look in the direction.
In the corridor, a very strong corpse smell suddenly filled the air, as if there was a rotting corpse wandering nearby.
Tap tap tap!
The next moment, dull footsteps came.
A tall, stiff "man" with an old hatchet in his hand appeared at the intersection in front of Su Mubai.
This "man" holding a hatchet is a fierce ghost and the first target of Su Mubai's trip.
To be precise, Su Mubai wanted to get the hatchet in the hands of the male corpse!
At this moment, the tall male corpse was looking ahead expressionlessly. His eyes seemed to be gradually rotting, and they were constantly dripping with black corpse water.
The male corpse walked forward on its own, not caring about Su Mubai who was standing in the air not far away.
As long as it doesn’t trigger the medium of the old hatchet in his hand, or trigger the killing pattern of the male corpse itself, you won’t be targeted by him!
The steps of the tall male corpse were very heavy, and the body looked very stiff, as if it were a walking corpse.
“Finally found you!”
Su Mubai looked at the tall male corpse passing by, the corners of his mouth raised in an arc, and the dark palms shook a few times in the air in front of him.
The next moment, the ghost hand's supernatural power broke out.
Pitch-black palms appeared out of thin air on the body of the tall man's corpse, and each palm was exactly the same as Su Mubai's ghost hand. They were densely packed, covering the whole body of the male corpse.
At the same time, black liquid was surging in the palms of the male corpse.
These liquids are the supernatural power of ghost bones. Both ghost hands and ghost bones have the ability to suppress ghosts. The abilities of the two are superimposed on each other. Su Mubai intends to suppress the male corpse in an instant and directly grab the hatchet with force!
However, the suppression failed.
The tall male corpse was not suppressed. Foul-smelling corpse water was constantly dripping from his body, and his own supernatural power resisted the suppression by the ghost hands.
The horror level of the male corpse is very high!
Although the danger level of the tall male corpse in the original work is only C level, that is because he is not very diffuse and only wanders around the Caesar Hotel. This does not mean that the male corpse is very scary. Low.
A strange scene happened.
Su Mubai clearly did not trigger the curse of the hatchet, but his attack seemed to trigger some kind of law in the tall male corpse.
The male corpse, which was walking forward numbly and ignoring Su Mubai, suddenly turned around and looked at Su Mubai's position with his rotten eyes.
Immediately afterwards, the old hatchet held in the hand of the tall male corpse drew an arc in mid-air and slashed directly in the air in front of him.
The next moment, the curse of the hatchet broke out.
Before Su Mubai, who was in the fifth-level ghost realm, had time to react, his body was chopped off at the waist, and the upper half of his body fell to the ground with a "pop".
At the same time, the densely packed black palms on the tall man's body seemed to have lost the support of all supernatural powers at this moment, and fell down one after another.
After doing all this, the tall, rotting male corpse in the corridor slowly turned back, seemingly not paying attention to the wave of attacks by Su Mubai just now.
The male corpse continued to walk towards the depths of the dark corridor with stiff and heavy steps, paying no attention to Su Mubai lying on the ground.
On the ground, Su Mubai looked at his body that was split into two and fell into thinking.
The hatchet only dismembered his body. This level of suppression was not enough to cause him to automatically restart. As time goes by, his two body parts will automatically recover.
Of course, he can choose to restart himself at this time.
This situation is not difficult to understand.
Just like Guizhan, Guizhan will only passively restart when he withstands supernatural power that is currently unbearable.
For example, if you cut off Guizha's hand, he can choose to restart, but it will not achieve the effect of passive restart.
Only by suppressing him in all aspects will Guizhan passively restart! This is also the reason why Yang Jian can modify Guizhan's memory in the original plot.
“The hatchet’s ability to dismember is not as thorough as that of the saber. The two parts of the body dismembered by the hatchet are still partially connected. As time goes by, the dismembered parts will gradually return to the original body.”
"Just like the ghosts that Yang Jian dismembered in the ancient house in the original work, they recovered after about a day or so."
"But this is not the case with the saber. The dismembered parts are completely lost from the original body. If the connection is lost, as time goes by, the body will not automatically recover, and the severed The parts will be revived, controlled by the evil ghost instinct, and gradually form a new individual. "
Su Mubai has already experienced the dismemberment of the saber and the dismemberment of the hatchet, and the dismemberment of the saber cannot even be restarted. Restores the body, while Hatchet's dismemberment can be counteracted by restarting.
After feeling his current state, Su Mubai decisively chose to restart himself.
Although you can recover after a while, it will take a certain amount of time.
The more terrifying the ghost, the shorter the recovery time after being dismembered by a hatchet. According to Su Mubai's guess, it would take about half a day for him to fully recover.
The next moment.
The surging mist in the passage became more solid, and the dark mist rendered everything around it black!
On the ground, Su Mubai's broken body moved closer together, and the wound made by the hatchet disappeared strangely.
Finally, Su Mubai, who was intact and without a single wound on his body, stood up, took one step forward, and appeared directly in front of the tall man's corpse.
Su Mubai's restart is just to restart himself in the ghost realm. Although this ability to restart has no solution, it is very different from the method of restarting time.
There are several types of restarts.
The two closest ones are restarting one's own state like Su Mubai and Guizhan; and restarting one's own time, which returns one's physical state to how long ago.
The two restarts may seem to be similar. They both restore oneself to the most perfect state, but in fact there is a big difference.
It’s just that these two restart abilities have their own advantages and disadvantages, and it’s not necessarily a good or bad one.
Other than that.
There is also a range restart, which directly restarts the time of a large area, reversing everything that happened in this area and forcing it back to a certain previous time period.
This kind of restart is much more powerful than the ability to restart itself.
While restarting your own state, you can also restart things around you, and you can even resurrect dead characters!
Tap, tap, tap...
The tall male corpse, whose body was rotting and dripping corpse water, turned a blind eye to Su Mubai who appeared in front of him, and still walked stiffly.
At the same time, Su Mubai also walked towards the position of the male corpse. He had no idea of probing and was directly preparing to rob it.
Su Mubai never paid attention to the tall man's corpse from the beginning to the end. From the beginning, he had already counted the old hatchet as his own.
This is not because Su Mubai’s self-confidence has expanded, but because he has the capital to ignore the tall male corpse!
It can be said that the strongest attack of the male corpse is the dismemberment curse of the hatchet. As long as the charm is triggered, even the evil ghost can easily dismember it.
But in fact, the curse of the hatchet cannot cause any substantial harm to Su Mubai, and the final result will only make him restart once.
This also tells Su Mubai a fact from the side... He can use the ghost hatchet almost without paying any price!
Because the curse of the hatchet is ineffective against him, the cost of using the hatchet is only to restart himself.
“The hatchet is not omnipotent. In the final analysis, it is just a supernatural object, the product of the collision between supernatural beings.”
“Whether it is a hatchet or a saber , coffin nails, and even ghost mirrors, ghost cabinets and other items are all supernatural items made by humans in the past era. ”
"I just don't know if these things were made by one person. If so, how powerful would this person be?"
Su Mubai glanced at the saber in his hand, and then at the tall man's corpse. Holding the old hatchet in his hand, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Hatch knives and coffin nails are not bad, as they are relatively easy to make.
For example, Ye Zhen, in the original work, forcibly hammered a terrifying ghost into a sword, creating a "sword that cannot be looked at directly".
That sword is also very scary, equivalent to a different kind of hatchet. As long as you see that sword with your eyes, it will trigger the killing pattern of the evil ghost inside.
And it is still a law of death!
Even Ye Zhen himself made and used it with his eyes closed, which shows how powerful the curse of that sword is.
Compared with supernatural items such as hatchets, the manufacturing of ghost cabinets is much more troublesome. After all, the complexity is far beyond that of hatchets and other items.
When Su Mubai traveled through time, the novel Mysterious Resurrection was not finished yet, so many mysteries have not yet been solved.
For example, a series of questions such as the secret of supernatural resurrection, what happened during the Republic of China, and who is the maker of ghost cabinets and other supernatural items have not yet been solved.
Even the truth about the ghost post office has not been revealed. Before Su Mubai traveled through time, the plot of the mysterious recovery only stated that Yang Jian and others successfully completed the letter delivery task on the fourth floor and survived from the old house.
The plot from then on is unknown to Su Mubai.
But based on what has been published, Su Mubai also speculated on a lot of things.
In his opinion, there should be some connection between the ghost closet, the ghost post office, the ghost bus, including this Caesar Hotel.
Even if they were not built by the same person, they must know each other directly. They should belong to the same era and the same level of existence!
Of course, these are just his personal guesses. There is still a lot of key information missing. It is definitely impossible to get the truth by just relying on speculation. To know the truth, further exploration is needed.
………………
As time passed, the distance between Su Mubai and the tall man’s corpse became closer and closer.
"Pa ta", "Pa ta", "Pa ta"......
When the tall man's corpse was about to get close to him, Su Mubai took the lead in launching the offensive again. A pair of pitch-black palms covered the body of the male corpse, and there was also black liquid surging in the palms.
Not only that.
A black shadow was reflected on the ground under Su Mubai's feet. The black shadow spread quickly and soon covered the body of the tall male corpse.
At the same time, Su Mubai's eyes with faint green light were also staring at the body of the male corpse. The supernatural power spread, and the curse of the ghost eyes also broke out.
This time, Su Mubai directly used the ability of his four ghosts to jigsaw the puzzle. Even the male corpse holding the hatchet stopped moving and stood stiffly on the spot.
The tall male corpse was suppressed.
Su Mubai took one step forward and came directly to the tall man's corpse. At the same time, he stretched out his palm and grabbed the hatchet held by the male corpse, trying to snatch it away.
“Click!”
Su Mubai’s dark palm smoothly grasped the rusty hatchet blade.
At the same time.
Supernatural power spread, and the tall male corpse seemed to be controlled by some supernatural power. The hand holding the hatchet slowly relaxed.
Su Mubai used a force of his hand to snatch the old hatchet from the male corpse's hand.
At this moment, the old hatchet in the hands of the tall male corpse changed its owner. Now, its owner is Su Mubai.
At this time, Su Mubai was also dressed very strangely. He was holding a strange-shaped saber in his right hand and a hatchet in his left hand.
But both the saber and the hatchet looked a bit old. The blades were rusty and full of traces of time.
………………
Other colleagues write one chapter with two thousand words and two chapters a day, which is four thousand words a day. You praise them for their diligence.
I write one chapter a day, but this chapter is more than 4,000 words long, yet you say I am lazy.
What’s so special about this? ? ?
It’s 4,000 words a day, but others divided it into two chapters, and I directly merged it into one chapter and published it. Why are there two results?
