Chapter 256 – Agitated Corpses

Chapter 256 – Agitated Corpse Herd

The face of the half-bodied woman whose arms and fingers were like spiders hit the ground hard, making a loud ringing sound.

A huge penetrating crack appeared on the stone platform, and it shook even more.

The half-body monster woman also stopped moving and seemed to have been broken apart by the fall. It was only because it was a conscious body that there was no scene of blood and flesh.

Outside, perhaps this woman was very scary, but inside Sol’s consciousness platform, cleaning her up was simply easy.

The three bodies of consciousness watching the battle from the side, on the other hand, winced in unison, as if they were the slabs of stone that had been smashed.

Suppressing the bodies of consciousness that had been completely contaminated, Saul’s face remained gloomy.

His skin slowly crawled with a layer of white frost, just like the madness that gradually colored his eyes.

Morton, who was standing not far away, realized that something was wrong and immediately shouted, “Master, please calm down, your current state is not right.”

Saul immediately raised his eyes to look at Morton, and the coldness in his eyes caused the latter to shiver.

However, the grimness quickly receded again, restoring a bit of warmth.

Saul blinked, not allowing himself to be swayed by his anger.

“The Grinding Sound Fruit Juice is not potent enough, and if I insist on staying here by my own will alone, I am in danger of losing control at any time, so it’s better to exit first and study this uncontrollable evil spirit next time.”

Thinking of this, Saul raised the diary in his hand.

Only to see the half-bodied woman that had just appeared, it reappeared as mutilated black pages and flew back into the diary.

Only this time, the pages of the book were smaller than just now, and it seemed that Saul had consumed his opponent’s energy when he attacked the woman with his tentacles.

Saul once again looked at the other three.

A few people immediately understood, and they all turned into a black light, voluntarily returning to the diary and turning back into black book pages.

The stone platform under his feet re-stabilized, but the starlight around him was still flickering rapidly.

Those starlights were becoming more and more like pairs of eyes, desperately blinking, as if they were transmitting some kind of signal.

The starry sky that made other consciousnesses wary was just like the real sky in Saul’s eyes, and it was refreshing to look at it.

If it wasn’t for the fact that mere consciousness bodies were prone to falling into extreme emotions here, Saul wouldn’t mind staying a little longer.

He closed the diary with a forceful snap of his fingers, closed his eyes and exited the consciousness platform.

Just as he opened his eyes, the magic crystals fixed between the spell formations under his feet instantly shattered, and even the spell formations that he had painstakingly drawn were instantly destroyed by spontaneous combustion.

Saul hurriedly dodged the flames and jumped out of the spell formation.

“This time the formation was damaged more seriously, could it be that I moved too much inside? It won’t do to be like this all the time, we have to find a way to reinforce this spell formation.”

After leaving the space of consciousness, the kind of grumpy emotion just now was also dispelled, and Saul’s state gradually regained its calmness.

“It seems that if you want to enter the consciousness platform multiple times, you have to prepare enough drugs that can stabilize the conscious body or emotions. The Sound Grinding Fruit is not bad, but right now I have too little stock in hand, and the time it can be maintained for a single time is limited, and I almost lost control again just now.”

Saul decided to refine a large amount of Sound Grinding Fruit to extract the essence of it to extend the time while continuing to search for a high-grade substitute.

“But right now I don’t have any ideas for higher-order substitutes, so it’s more reliable to get more Sound Grinding Fruits.”

“There shouldn’t be any at Billy’s place. Maybe I can go over to Mill Sail Town and search for them. Though they were ransacked by the barbarians, they should have seeds or stocks. The last wandering apprentice that showed up at the time seemed pretty reliable, and should do whatever he can to restore the Ground Sound Fruit fields.”

Saul rubbed his chin and prepared to get a sweeping tool to clean up the debris on the ground, only to be startled by the person behind him just as he turned around.

“Drink!”

Between the forested shelves behind Saul, there were surprisingly dozens of corpses standing.

Unlike in the past, each of them opened their empty eyes and stared straight at Saul.

And the closest to him was Herman’s corpse.

This “cosmetized” body was clinging to the edge of the shelf, as if trying hard to cross the invisible boundary. From the bottomless darkness of his eyes, Saul seemed to hear an unceasing …… cry.

“Help me, help me, help me ……”

“Herman?” Saul stepped back until his back hit the lab bench.

He put his hands behind his back and covertly groped for something in the table.

As Herman’s body opened its mouth, a cry came from the hollow eyes of the other bodies.

Some were pleading for help, like Herman, while others were conversing, only their voices were too blurry to hear exactly what they were saying.

Saul didn’t try to listen for specifics either.

As the voices grew noisier, the bodies began to continue moving.

Because they had once appeared without warning in the corridor outside the bronze gates, Saul had never seen them in action either, and had assumed that the corpses were capable of instantaneous movement like Golza.

Today was finally the day to see it.

They weren’t instantaneous, but walked like normal people, but as they moved, they would form a heavy shadow in the air, as if more than one person was moving at the same time.

Creating a visual disorientation, as long as one didn’t stare at them, it was easy to ignore their existence.

So when people looked back, they would realize that there were already many more terrifying figures around them.

Gently pulling open the drawer, he touched a cylindrical object.

Slow down your movements so as not to irritate the corpses.

Little by little, Saul brought the object in his hand to his face.

It was a red candle made from his blood.

With the appearance of the red candle, the originally noisy and restless corpses suddenly became much quieter.

Saul slightly accelerated his movements, took out the lamp lighter that was also in the drawer, and lit the candle.

The corpses on the opposite side gradually closed their eyes, and as the black hole closed, the cries for help completely disappeared.

Only then did Saul slowly approach the corpses with the candle raised.

He walked all the way to Herman, and the other party did not react any more, just face to the candle in Saul’s hand.

Saul placed the candle on the ground not far in front of the corpses and saw all the corpses lowering their heads before stepping back a little.

“I’ve checked many times, and I didn’t find any souls in the corpses, but they still have some consciousness and can act on their own. Could it be that there is a consciousness lurking in the flesh as well?”

“But why did they call for help? And where did those cries come from?”

A term came to Sol’s mind – entrapment.

The Sorcerer’s Tower had 22 floors, in addition to a mezzanine where no living person existed.

A dark space full of eyes existed in the mezzanine around the treasury. Here Saul’s soul would be seared and he could only last a few seconds at best.

And there was also a mezzanine in the bronze gate outside the treasury.

Saul analyzed that there should be the entrance to the mezzanine. Those thin, slim-like hands were both guards, not coveting the fresh souls.

The weakest attacks were probably those pipes connecting the candles.

Those mouths were going to hurt a lot, but the combat power was so crummy that even if you accidentally fell in, you could still try to kill them back.

By that count, the mezzanine already had eyes, mouths, and hands. It seemed to have dismembered a bunch of human souls as well.

What about the rest of those souls?

As souls, do they also feel pain after being dismembered?
