Chapter 101 Bone Sprouts

The homeless child was stunned for a moment.

Watched by those empty eye sockets, an indescribable, cold sense of fear overwhelmed him.

He suddenly felt a little itchy on his back.

It's like a wound heals.

It's like the bone has sprout and is growing slowly.

"Ai Lei" touched it lightly. I vaguely felt that there were some protrusions on my originally smooth back. His spine seemed to be wriggling, and it became sharp in...

He was very attentive, stroking his spine lightly. Some couldn't stop, and at the same time felt that their elbows and knees began to become itchy, as if something was about to burst out——

"What's the matter, Ellie?"

At this moment, Amos asked again with some doubts.

The homeless child was suddenly startled.

He immediately returned to reality.

When he came back to his senses, he found that Amos' face was as usual.

His face did not turn into a skeleton, there was no difference from before... There were no white bone spurs protruding from the skin on the back of the neck, and the skin was smooth and even without wounds and breaks.

As if everything was just an illusion just now.

"...No, it's fine."

Alley replied softly and started changing clothes.

Put on those three heavy, scary plush dresses.

Amos felt that her gaze was a little weird, but he didn't pursue it any further, just scratched his face again and turned back.

...but that was definitely not a hallucination.

The homeless child is very sure.

Not only because of the itchiness deep inside his body.

And the large barrage that suddenly flashed in front of him also confirmed this for the first time:

"—Fuck you to death!"

"——It is the ghost father who is convinced (referring to the supernatural level"

"—Damn, this eldest brother startled me when he turned around..."

"—Be content, at least your face is clean and free of maggots."

... Just by looking at this chaotic barrage, he can be sure that the terrifying scene just now was definitely not his illusion.

So what's the situation?

The wandering child subconsciously opened the property panel.

Then he froze for a moment.

[Health: 95%]

[Erosion degree: 5%]

...wait, 5%?

Wasn't it just 2%?

It will only increase by 2% if you die once... But the erosion rate has just increased by 3%?

The barrage also saw this line of numbers:

"—Is this a san?"

"—No, it should be said to have added spiritual vision."

"—This seems to be more serious than the punishment of dying once!"

"—Wait, we won't continue to increase the erosion rate, right? This is just a preparation ceremony?"

...So in the nightmare, can you directly increase the erosion degree?

Annan also frowned slightly.

He first checked himself, and he was relieved after confirming that he saw this scene through the live broadcast and did not increase the degree of erosion.

"Is that the skeleton? Or what?"

He murmured in a low voice.

But not quite like it.

According to his knowledge in the book, the human body of the skeleton is a giant skeleton with a height of two and a half meters:

"He should be clothed in a ducal blue and white robe of fluff - said to be unicorn hair, with a sacred copper crown on his head, a golden mask like a human face on his face, and under his feet They are heavy steel boots, with dragonskin gloves on their hands, and their whole body should be covered by clothing. Even the back of their neck is blocked by the stand-up collar of the robe.

"The way to identify the skeleton is mainly by his height, and secondly by his dress - there are only bones under his clothes, so he must look extremely thin.

The skeleton is the god of ancient giants. The height of modern giants is generally between four meters and five meters five. Only ancient giants have short bodies that are less than three meters but more than two meters.

"Remember, don't use any ability to see through or perceive the essence when looking directly at the skeleton. The duke's clothing he wears is a kind of protection for others - if you see the skeleton without protection Any bone of the duke will be continuously eroded by the curse. At the same time, 'ossification' will occur, and the bones of the whole body will become active, rejecting the master's will control, and actively swallowing all the surrounding frenzied growth, including the flesh and blood tissue... "

——The ossification phenomenon recorded in the book is somewhat similar to the situation of the homeless child just now. The situation of increasing erosion also coincides with it.

Annan clearly remembered that at the moment when the illusion appeared, the bones at the neck of "Ai Lei" did start to become a little sharp and protruding...

But it's not quite right either.

If it is really the skeleton, then "Ai Lei" can't be alive at all.

It now appears that the difficult nightmare is not just a death threat. Even in a dream, if you see something you shouldn't see, the degree of erosion that should rise will still increase.

In this case, he probably understands...why would someone go mad the night they entered the nightmare, when the erosiveness would only increase a little after the death of the nightmare.

This should really be a silver-level nightmare...

Annan was a little strange at first, because the nightmare was so simple.

Although he is only a level in the "Gallery", it is the lowest difficulty of the silver level. But looking at it now, as long as the portrait painting is not completed at the beginning... the difficulty will immediately rise to the silver level.

So, what is the mechanism that triggers this?

Is it painting? basement? ceremony? Or the mood of Amos?

"It's all ready, Ellie."

Finally, Amos breathed a sigh of relief.

Ellie on the side had already changed her clothes.

She wore a three-layer cashmere dress, and now she looks bloated like a zongzi. Not to mention fighting, it's hard to move just by moving... I feel like I can't even breathe.

But the homeless children were relieved a lot.

Looking at this posture, at least there is no need to be injected...

All good, all good.

Amos leaned over to Elle and comforted her in a low voice:

"Don't be afraid, it won't hurt. It's just a very simple ceremony... Fortunately, it's June, so it won't be too troublesome."

"...Yes, Father."

Alley paused and said softly.

Seeing that there was no fear on her face, and even a little curiosity, Amos smiled with satisfaction.

Under Elle's gaze, he respectfully lit three thick candles, which were placed in the direction of one o'clock, two o'clock, and four o'clock on the bone bed.

Then, he motioned Alley to climb onto the bed from the three o'clock direction.

He took out another protractor, and three black ram horns, three black ram horns, and three pairs of bull horns. They were placed on both sides of the three candles, forming three angles of 120 degrees inward, covering the body of "Ai Lei" at the same time.

At the moment when the three included angles were formed, the candle suddenly trembled at the same time.

The warm glow of orange suddenly turned icy blue.

The homeless child suddenly felt a strange chill descend on him.

It was as if his whole body was immersed in ice water, and his body could not feel the slightest temperature, but he would not tremble because of it.

Instead, I felt very quiet, very peaceful... I didn't want to move at all, and then slowly closed my eyes.

At the last moment, he struggled to open his eyes.

But I saw the flesh on Amos's face falling off piece by piece... His body began to rot, and the bones remained.

He vaguely heard that Amos was chanting something in a low voice, but his consciousness was very dim. His body seemed to be pressed down by something, and his limbs could not move.

After that, the homeless child completely lost consciousness.

When he woke up again, he found himself still lying on the bone bed. And those three candles have been completely burned out.

Not only that, but Elle's weak body suddenly became strong and powerful.

Even more powerful than the body other than his copy.

As if you can jump to the ceiling with a single jump——

Only one thing.

Only one difference.

He felt... his left eye was a little uncomfortable.

He subconsciously reached out to touch it.

But I could only touch something cold and temperatureless... as if it had been dead for a long time—

- The eye sockets of the corpse.
