Chapter 49: The Defects of the Resurrection Coin
Under the bright light, Xu Yi and his party headed towards the depths of the old theater.
The golden wind chime suddenly shook violently, making a rapid "ringing" sound, and Xu Yi stopped.
They are now indoors, and there is basically no wind, but the wind chimes are actually shaking more violently than when it is windy outside.
The exorcist sensed something.
"The other party is nearby!" Hunter didn't dare to say the name, for fear of attracting attention.
Xu Yi looked around. It looked like a dressing room, with a few tattered costumes hanging on the shelves in the corner.
The ceiling above the head was in tatters, and the surrounding walls were rotten and blackened. It didn't look like a place that could hide a large number of puppets at all.
Xu Yi subconsciously lowered his head and looked at his feet. Hunter and Laura's movements were almost the same. It was obvious that everyone was thinking of the same place.
"Is it down there?" Hunter whispered.
"You'll know after you try it!" Without saying a word, Laura took out a hand ax from her backpack and slashed at the wooden floor.
Xu Yi looked at Laura's neat movements and gave Hunter a look of pity. He couldn't afford his girlfriend who carried an ax with her!
Hunter smiled awkwardly and subconsciously rubbed his aching ribs, which Laura had "accidentally" touched.
The wooden floor had long since decayed, and every time the ax hit it, it would bring out large pieces of debris.
Many exorcists have searched this theater, but have never been able to find the place where Mary Shaw hid the puppets. Someone must have guessed that Mary Shaw would be hiding underground.
But the old theater is too big. If you search every inch of the place, you may be killed by Mary Shaw before you even find it.
Xu Yi casually glanced at the metal box in Hunter's hand. "Exorcist II" was indeed enviable, with many magical weapons.
A large hole was opened in the floor. The three of them stood on the edge of the hole, looked inside, and all took a deep breath.
"What to do now?" Hunter couldn't make up his mind for a moment.
There is actually a deep tunnel hidden under the floor of the room. Even a strong flashlight cannot shine down to the bottom, and there is no way of knowing how deep it is.
Xu Yi squatted beside the tunnel, threw a stone into it, and listened.
Through the echo, he roughly calculated the height of the tunnel.
"About twenty meters, not too high. The diameter of the tunnel is about two meters. In other words, if you really fall through the air, you can use your hands to support the cave wall to prevent you from falling directly to the bottom." Xu Yi said softly. .
"There is a light breeze blowing up from below, which means that the air below is circulating and will not suffocate." Laura added.
Xu Yi patted the dust on his palms and said, "I'm going down now. Although it's safer during the day, evil spirits may take advantage of the night to secretly move the puppets away." He took out a bundle of climbing ropes from his backpack. Since the
flashlight With everything prepared, there are naturally no shortage of things that may be used for these outdoor activities.
"Then let's go down together so that we can take care of each other." Hunter finally nodded.
Along the rope all the way down, I don't know if it was because of the strong light, but they were not harassed by the evil spirits and successfully reached the bottom.
Xu Yi had just stood firm when the cold breath came in like a tide, and he subconsciously tensed up his body.
[You are in "Mary Shaw's Puppet Collection Room", signed in successfully, and received "Resurrection Coin x5". 】
It is actually a scary place with 5 resurrection coins scene!
Xu Yi was surprised and happy. He was surprised because the more resurrection coins he got by signing in, the more dangerous the scene was.
Of course he was happy because of the resurrection coins. When he was wandering around the old theater on the first day, nothing happened. He thought this was not a place of fear. It turned out that he was not in the right place.
Xu Yi looked at the system panel and felt happy.
He originally only had two resurrection coins, but now he has "suddenly increased" to seven, giving him a sense of security.
But the smile on his face suddenly froze.
"System, is there something wrong with the display of the resurrection coins?" Xu Yi questioned the system. Of course, this was through his thoughts and not out loud.
On the system panel, the grid displaying the resurrection coins suddenly split into two. The grid on the left is: "Resurrection Coin x5", and the right is "Resurrection Coin x2". The difference is that the resurrection coin on the right grid is gray and cannot be used.
How is this going?
New information poured into Xu Yi's brain. After Xu Yi absorbed the information, he looked depressed.
Resurrection coins actually have a daily usage limit!
Yes, within 24 hours a day, you can use up to 5 resurrection coins to go back in time.
Xu Yi felt disillusioned. He had originally thought that if he could accumulate enough resurrection coins, wouldn't it be equivalent to immortality?
But now the system tells him that he can only be resurrected up to 5 times a day.
No! If you encounter a difficult problem and it doesn't work if you go back to 10 minutes ago, you may have to use it in combination, and the number of times you can be revived every day will be even less.
Why didn't the system mention this before?
Xu Yi was a little puzzled. He suddenly remembered that he had never had more than 5 resurrection coins before. It did not reach the upper limit, so naturally there was no prompt.
"No wonder the system has a treasure chest mall!" Xu Yi thought of those treasure chests with ridiculous prices.
He was a little curious before. The resurrection coins are so powerful. Can the entries from the treasure box really be comparable to the resurrection coins?
Now he understands that there are only so many resurrection coins used to go back in time every day. If he encounters a powerful existence, what is the use of saving more resurrection coins?
The saddest thing in the world is that people who work hard to make money disappear before they can spend it.
So the best way is to keep only some resurrection coins as backup, and use the rest to buy treasure chests and strengthen yourself.
"Did you find anything?" Hunter asked cautiously.
"Something's not right about this place, please be careful!" Xu Yi replied and said no more.
He withdrew his attention. The most important thing now was to deal with Mary Xiao. Although the resurrection coin has a daily usage limit, it has little impact on his development plan.
The light illuminates the front. This is not the end of the tunnel, but a transitional platform. The front is still bottomless, but the slope is gentle, and you can walk directly inside.
After walking about ten meters, they encountered a fork in the road that split into two roads.
Hunter placed the golden wind chime at the fork in the road. The wind chime automatically floated to the tunnel on the right without any wind.
Xu Yi was a little lucky. If it weren't for Hunter's magic exorcism device, they wouldn't have been able to find their way.
There was silence all the way, no one wanted to communicate, and they seemed preoccupied.
Everyone thought of a question.
Who dug these holes?
It was impossible for Marishaw to dig such a long tunnel just by relying on those puppets.
More importantly, what is the purpose of the evil spirit digging this tunnel?
The more they thought about it, the more they felt something was wrong, and they also smelled a faint rancid smell.
As they went deeper, Hunter and Laura's expressions became ugly, and Xu Yi also became nervous.
The tunnel is much more complicated than imagined. There are forks one after another, and some forks even branch out into six exaggerated roads. It is simply a maze down there.
Just when they were about to give up, the front suddenly opened up and they entered an underground space.
The rock walls of this space are smooth, obviously not dug out, but eroded by flowing water.
Xu Yi thought of the suspension bridge in front of the old theater. The river below the suspension bridge has dried up now, but there must have been water flowing in front of the theater in the past.
There used to be a large lake behind the old theater, and this underground cave was probably washed out in the past.
When they stepped into the cave, Xu Yi paused suddenly and quickly turned the flashlight to shine to the left.
Xu Yi took a deep breath when he saw clearly what was hidden in the corner, while Hunter and Laura turned even pale.
