Chapter 764 Comrades
Inside the door was a dark room, with some old medical equipment and several beds vaguely visible inside. Qi Tongwei hesitated for a moment, but thinking that he might be able to find clues to leave from here, he walked in carefully.
As soon as he stepped into the room, the door behind him slammed shut, and then the white cloth on the bed fluttered slowly, as if something was struggling to get out from underneath. Qi Tongwei held the talisman paper tightly and watched the movements around him.
Suddenly, a hideous ghost sat up from the bed, its body incomplete and emitting a disgusting smell. The ghost pounced on Qi Tongwei with its fangs and claws bared. Qi Tongwei hurriedly threw the talisman paper at the ghost. The talisman paper burned the moment it touched the ghost, emitting a strong light, temporarily repelling the ghost.
But Qi Tongwei knew that this was only a temporary relief. He looked around and found a tattered diary in the corner of the room. He quickly picked up the diary and opened it, and found a horrifying truth recorded in it.
It turns out that this mental hospital had conducted some illegal human experiments, and many patients died painfully in the experiments. Their resentment accumulated here and could not be dissipated. The mentally ill patient who was left behind was the only survivor. His spirit was completely broken and he was entangled by the resentment of those wronged souls.
Qi Tongwei realized that in order to completely solve the problem here, he must find a way to save these wronged souls. Based on the clues in the diary, he found a hidden altar in the basement of the hospital.
In front of the altar, Qi Tongwei placed some of the patient's relics found in the hospital according to the ancient ritual, and sincerely recited the scriptures for salvation. As he recited, the evil spirits around him gradually dissipated, and the figures of the wronged souls began to become blurred.
Finally, in a soft light, the wronged souls rested in peace and the mental hospital returned to peace.
Qi Tongwei heard that there was a mysterious treasure hidden in the remote mountains and forests. It was said that this treasure was hidden by a wealthy businessman in ancient times to avoid war. It contained countless gold, silver and jewelry, as well as mysterious objects that could change people's destiny. Driven by greed and curiosity, he resolutely embarked on this treasure hunt full of unknowns.
Along the way, the forest became deeper and quieter, with lush branches and leaves blocking out the sun. Only a few rays of sunlight could barely penetrate the gaps between the leaves, forming patches of light on the ground. The air was filled with a damp and rotten smell. Qi Tongwei walked along a path that was almost covered by weeds, and from time to time he could hear the low roars of unknown beasts in the distance, which was frightening.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, he finally found a hidden cave deep in the forest. The entrance of the cave was covered by vines, and it was very difficult to find if you didn't look carefully. Qi Tongwei was excited, and he pushed aside the vines and walked into the cave carefully. The cave was dark and damp, with mosses and various unknown insects crawling on the walls. The ground under his feet was also rugged and uneven, emitting a pungent fishy smell.
He groped forward, the torch in his hand swaying slightly with his steps, the light and shadow swaying, making the surrounding scene even more eerie and terrifying. Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew, and the torch was almost extinguished. Qi Tongwei shuddered and looked around vigilantly. He saw some strange symbols and patterns faintly emerging on the cave wall, like some kind of ancient text, but he could not decipher its meaning.
Continuing to go deeper into the cave, a huge tomb appeared in front of him. In the center of the tomb was a huge sarcophagus. A circle of gems emitting dim light surrounded the sarcophagus, which made the whole tomb look a little weird. Qi Tongwei's eyes were attracted by the sarcophagus, and he thought that the treasure might be inside. However, when he approached the sarcophagus, he heard a slight "clucking" sound, as if someone was grinding their teeth, or like the sound of nails scratching stone.
Qi Tongwei had an ominous premonition in his heart. He slowly stepped back, but his eyes were always fixed on the sarcophagus. At this moment, the lid of the sarcophagus slowly moved, making a dull sound, and wisps of black mist poured out of the sarcophagus, filling the entire tomb. Then, a pale hand stretched out from the sarcophagus, followed by a woman in ancient costume who slowly sat up.
The woman's hair was disheveled on her shoulders, her face was as pale as paper, but her lips were strangely red. She stared at Qi Tongwei with empty eyes and made a low and mournful voice: "Why do you come to disturb my rest..." Qi Tongwei turned around in horror and wanted to escape, but found that the way he came had been blocked by a huge stone at some point, and there was no way to retreat.
The woman floated out of the sarcophagus and slowly approached him. With every step closer, Qi Tongwei could feel a piercing chill. He closed his eyes in despair, waiting for the unknown fear to come. Suddenly, the purification crystal in his arms emitted a faint light, as if it was fighting against the evil spirit.
When the woman saw the Purification Crystal, a trace of fear appeared in her eyes. She stopped and said coldly: "Where did you get this thing? It shouldn't be here..." Qi Tongwei held the Purification Crystal tightly and said with courage: "No matter what you are, I have no intention of offending you. Let me out!"
The woman sneered: "Want to get out? Not so easy. Since you are here, you have to pay the price..." As she said that, she waved her hands, and the dim gems in the tomb suddenly flew up and shot towards Qi Tongwei. Qi Tongwei dodged quickly, but was still scratched on his arm by a gem, and blood dripped onto the ground.
At this moment, something strange happened. After the blood dripped onto the ground, it slowly seeped into those strange symbols and patterns. Then, the entire tomb began to shake violently, and rocks kept falling from the top of the cave. The woman's face changed drastically, and she screamed, "What have you done!"
It turned out that Qi Tongwei's blood accidentally triggered an ancient seal, which, once triggered, would release a more powerful evil force. As the seal loosened, cracks began to appear on the walls of the tomb, and countless pairs of dry hands stretched out from the cracks, grabbing the woman tightly and dragging her into the depths of darkness.
Qi Tongwei took the opportunity to run to the sarcophagus and found a secret compartment at the bottom of the sarcophagus, which was filled with gold, silver, jewelry and an ancient book. He didn't care about much, stuffed the book and some jewelry into his arms, and then desperately looked for an exit.
Finally, in a corner of the tomb, he found a hidden passage. Qi Tongwei went in without hesitation and ran desperately along the passage, with waves of eerie roars and the sound of rocks collapsing coming from behind him.
