Chapter 57 The Rules of Charm
——Vigil rules for experimental animal keepers:
Rule 1: The night shift is from 8pm to 8am the next morning. No one can live to see the sun at nine o'clock under any circumstances.
Rule 2, No place is safe.
Rule 3, everything you see in the surveillance is real and it is about to happen.
Rule 4, the lab rats will attack you.
Rule 5, the experimental white rabbit will attack you.
Rule 6, your phone will ring. If you don’t answer it, you will die! If you answer it, you will die!
Rule 7: When you patrol or add feed, something will prevent you from escaping back to the management room, and you cannot escape.
Rule 8, you will not live until dawn.
After reading the rules on the paper, Liu Hou suddenly felt a cold force piercing his body.
Can't hide.
That's a curse.
Charm's rules are so unreasonable. It weaves rules like a spider spinning its web. Anyone who bumps into the web of rules is its prey.
Liu Hou's face turned pale with anger. The words "death" in the rules clearly meant that he would not be allowed to live until tomorrow.
Since he was not given a way to survive, he found the charm.
Cut it off!
None of these eight rules can be followed.
Complying with it is death, and not complying is also death.
His only way to survive is to kill the charm that weaves the rules.
But where is that charm?
"Shu Ling, where is Mei hiding?"
Liu Hou asked.
Shu Ling said: "It's in the breeding area."
Sure enough.
Liu Hou frowned.
When a spider weaves a web, it will always sit in the center of the web. The rules for charm weaving are indeed the same, otherwise the rules would not hold true.
"How to find that charm?"
Liu Hou asked again.
"It's hiding in the rules."
"Hiding among the rules?"
Liu Hou was puzzled.
"What does this mean?"
"This is the talent of Mei who can weave rules, but the moment the rules are successfully weaved, they become rules. Only when you violate the rules will it appear and take your life."
The Book of Heaven writes.
Liu Hou was silent.
No wonder the master said that charm is hidden in the darkness, and that darkness refers to its rules.
Charms are evil objects formed by animals such as stones, vegetation, or snakes, insects, rats, ants, etc., but not all charms can weave rules.
There is still no explanation as to what exactly the charm that can weave rules is made of.
Therefore, the most troublesome thing for Taoist priests when exorcising evil spirits and catching demons is encountering charms.
Every time I encounter Mei, it's like opening a blind box.
No matter how strong you are, if you are not careful, you will capsize in the gutter.
After all, the charm that can weave rules is too unpredictable and unreasonable.
"That is to say, I must pull it out and kill it at the moment when it kills me."
Since I have been cursed by the rules of charm, this is the only way.
Liu Hou wanted to be more cautious.
He took the hundred-eyed demon's essence in his mouth, pulled up a chair in the management room and sat down: "Shu Ling, deduce the Dragon Gate Demon Slayer Sword."
The essence in his mouth began to melt and was taken away by the heavenly book. Every move of the Dragon Gate Demon Slayer Sword was drawn on the book.
Initially, the moves drawn were very blurry.
As time goes by, the previous tips become clearer.
There are 38 styles of the Dragon Gate Demon Slayer Sword, and each style corresponds to a change in the Yangtze River water colliding with the Dragon Gate.
The mainstay of Longmen remains unchanged and everlasting.
It represents perseverance.
Perseverance, facing adversity, coincides with the way of heaven.
Even if everything changes, I will just remain unchanged to face the changes.
Only the strong can break it.
The derivation speed was not too slow, but Liu Hou still found it difficult.
Suddenly, he felt something was not right.
Looking up, he saw the monitor on his head.
There are many split-screen images in the surveillance system, one of which belongs to Liu Hou.
He was sitting with his back to the monitor, and suddenly his head fell off.
Like a sharp knife cutting off a head.
Liu Hou shivered.
There has never been any monitoring in the monitoring room, so who is he on the monitoring screen?
——Rule 3, everything you see in the surveillance is real and it is about to happen.
In other words, soon, his head will be cut off by an invisible force.
when?
By whom?
Liu Hou was anxious.
The deductions in the heavenly book are still going on, and Liu Hou can't move now.
"Damn it, why did it happen at this time?"
He frowned.
He stared at the package not far away. The eight-sided Han wooden sword was inserted into the package.
The deduction is still going on. In the management room under surveillance, he is already dead and has turned into a corpse that is getting colder. Blood flies from the broken neck and sprays everywhere.
At this moment, the blood also ran cold.
At this moment, the surveillance suddenly went dark.
Only the surveillance in the management room was blacked out, as if it never existed.
"coming!"
A drop of cold sweat dripped from Liu Hou's forehead. He rolled forward and grabbed the eight-sided Han wooden sword in his hand.
The tip of the sword was pointed back.
The first form of the Dragon Gate Demon Slayer Sword, swimming fish hits the waves.
Just listen to a clang.
Metal buzzes.
A critical moment.
Liu Hou felt that the sword in his hand was heavy, and it was obviously hit by something invisible.
Fortunately, the derivation was completed at the last moment, otherwise he would really be like the prediction in the surveillance video, with his body and head missing.
The sword style is immortal, changing from a back pick to an upward pick.
The tip of the sword drew an arc, pointing straight towards the attack direction of the invisible object.
clang clang clang.
Three sounds.
Hit the mark.
Liu Hou was overjoyed and saw a few drops of green liquid flowing on the ground.
The charm was injured, not seriously and not to any vital parts.
Mei was obviously surprised that this guy could actually be within the rules and still hurt it.
In a hurry, he hid back.
Liu Hou didn't have to worry anymore. The charm would be injured and die anyway.
It is not prepared to let itself see the sun tomorrow, and he is not prepared to let it go.
One person and one monster can only fight to the death.
The night is long and I have to be patient.
Liu Hou never lacks patience.
He didn't want to sit still and wait for death, so he simply walked around the breeding area, looking for traces of Mei.
Soon after, we came to the small animal breeding area.
The white mouse in the cage was very quiet, but its eyes were bright red.
Seems to have lost his mind.
They gnawed at the cage, trying to break out.
Rather, there is something driving them, trying to drive them out.
——Rule 4, the lab rats will attack you.
Liu Hou sneered, made a thunder talisman, and swatted the cages one by one.
His strength is not high, and the static electricity absorbed from the air by the Thunder Talisman is not much. But the cage is made of metal and conducts electricity!
Chichi.
Electric sparks shot out from the cage that was hit by his palm, and all the mutated white-haired mice were stunned.
These white mice are the source of his energy reserves in the future, and they cannot be used up today.
There is something strange at the third cage.
The electric sparks that flew past suddenly exploded, forming an outline half a meter high.
"Humph, I found you."
It turns out that it was the charm that escaped from the rules and drove away the mutated rats.
Liu Hou grabbed the sword and slashed at it.
When driving the Dragon Gate Demon Slayer Sword, the wooden sword dances in his hand, faintly like a school of fish swimming, and the water flow is surging.
The blade of the sword passed by and hit something real.
He used his sword blade to wrap around the charm, which was struck several times by the sword and disappeared again.
Liu Hou touched the green liquid on the sword blade, brought it to his nose and smelled it.
The smell of fishy and rotten eggs can make people unable to open their eyes.
Very top.
He couldn't figure out what kind of creature could become a spirit, and its blood was green and smelled so bad?
In the following hours, the phantom seemed to be frightened and never appeared.
No matter how Liu Hou tried to lure him, he never saw its whereabouts.
It's almost dawn again.
Liu Hou is not optimistic.
That charm is definitely plotting something.
Suddenly, the mobile phone on Liu Hou's body rang.
The harsh ringing sounded extremely strange in this dead and silent breeding area.
Liu Hou raised his eyebrows and thought to himself.
Chapter completed!
