I changed the world

However, according to the current discoveries, it should contain a lot of relevant knowledge and secret methods about the path of "Wizard". Zhang Jing is quite interested in this. He has always been interested in these mysterious knowledge passed down from ancient times. He has a longer-term and more ambitious idea. He is trying to figure out the principles and logic behind these cultivation methods, and what is the relationship between different paths?How do they differ in terms of basic principles?What are the advantages and disadvantages between different paths?

And, in the future, can I learn from each other's strengths and make up for my weaknesses, and is it possible to find my own path?

As the collection of Dharma treasures becomes more and more abundant, and with the help of figurines, Zhang Jing believes that his idea should be worth trying. Although it seems difficult, if you do difficult things, you may be able to go further. Far.

Leaving aside this point, the current exploration of this ruins is only preliminary, and there is no time to conduct a detailed search. Zhang Jing has explored several ruins so far. It is very clear that for such ancient ruins, it is generally necessary to conduct It took several explorations to clear it out.

Chapter 451 The discovery of "dirty"...

承和37年西历2016年3月21日19:11加索尔王国托尔特克自治领首府圣安蒂亚斯

San Antias, the capital of the Toltec Dominion of the Kingdom of Gasol, is a city that does not look very advanced. Compared with the capital of the Kingdom of Gasol far away in the western continent, the overall infrastructure here looks like, It's like being stuck in 20 years ago.Some old-fashioned cars can be seen everywhere on the street, and the models are all types that have long been retired from the Western Continent.

The streets here are narrow and dilapidated. From time to time, you can see some scantily clad girls standing on the streets, most of them with darker skin. If someone or a driver stops to look at them, they will immediately walk up and say hello in a coquettish way.These are some local street girls, most of whom are descendants of aboriginals or mixed-race people, and many of them have local gang backgrounds.Of course, this does not mean that these girls have to use gangsters to play fairy dances or something, but that most of them voluntarily or forced to borrow money from gangsters. Many of them also have a history of drug addiction, and local gangs use this as a control These women charge monthly protection fees, and if they refuse to pay, they will soon disappear on the streets.

Some strong men usually stand some distance away from these women, either smoking and chatting, or sitting on the street playing cards. These people are the eyes and ears of local gangs.

Occasionally uniformed colonial policemen would pass by on the streets, turning a blind eye to the idle men and women on the streets.

The number of murders in San Antias is dozens of times that of Gasol itself. Last year alone, the number of murder victims exceeded 2000, making unblocking the sewers here a rather terrifying task. job, because from time to time you can dig out some strange pieces of chopped meat...

Chadwick was walking on the street with a travel bag on his back. He arrived at San Antias by shuttle bus at noon today and planned to stay here overnight. He would take a flight to Canelia in Gasol early tomorrow morning and then transfer back. Rune.

As he walked, he carefully paid attention to his surroundings. Before coming here, he had read the local travel guide online and knew that in this city, a foreigner must be careful about the situation around him at all times, and at the same time be careful not to Go to some remote place alone...

But at this time, Chadwick's face was heavy and full of worries, and his eyes were wandering, especially when he glanced at the dark corners of the street. The appearance of being seen by something.

If he hadn't been carrying a travel bag on his back and dressed like a tourist, Chadwick looked like a DU vendor running a street gang, the kind of person who carefully looks for customers while worrying about being discovered by a big gang...

In fact, Chadwick is really panicking right now. He has discovered that there are some inexplicable changes in himself...

To put it simply, he seems to be able to see some "unclean" things now...

For example, right at the street corner ahead, in the shadow of the streetlight, he could see a well-dressed old man standing there, just like an old man wearing a gray woolen suit after a meal. Of course, if it weren't for the large blood stains on the suit, the multiple bullet holes in the old man's forehead after he was obviously shot, and the missing half of his skull on the back of his head, it would look more normal...

Yes, the old man was obviously shot in the head. However, in Chadwick's eyes at this time, he did not fall, but stood in the shadow with a confused look, just stunned. looking ahead.

A drunken man hummed a song and walked towards the old man, shaking his head. As if he didn't see anything, he bumped straight into the old man. However, the collision did not happen.The two people passed each other as if they were in different parallel time and space. The drunkard passed directly through the old man's body and then walked forward.

It was as if the old man standing in the shadow was just a phantom, and only Chadwick could see this phantom.

He quickly glanced at the old man. Before his eyes could meet with the old man, Chadwick quickly withdrew his gaze, suppressed his violently beating heartbeat, pretended to be nonchalant and couldn't see anything, and walked quickly. Since walking in front of the old man...

The day before yesterday, because he had no experience, he saw such a "ghost thing" for the first time. He didn't know why at that time and thought it was some kind of street cosplay. He walked up to see what was new. As a result, he "awoke" the ghost thing, and then it mutated. , and then was chased by mutated monsters...

Fortunately, Fate had just encountered a group of patrolling colonial policemen. After the chaos, he took advantage of the chaos to escape. As for the consequences of those policemen, he had no control over them...

In the past two days, he has had two "exciting" experiences in order to confirm some of his ideas. As for the fact that he still has to complete it so far, it can be attributed to his good luck and some preparations in advance...

However, now, he has roughly understood the changes that have happened to him. Just like in some mysterious stories circulated among Western folk, he seems to be able to see those "unclean" things.

According to Chadwick's own speculation, this is most likely inseparable from his previous adventures in the rainforest.Especially, he is still confused about what exactly happened to him in the stone temple on the underground pyramid.

However, the only thing he was certain of was that there must have been some kind of change in himself that he was not aware of yet.

By the way, there are quite a lot of unclean things in this city...

Chadwick secretly murmured in his heart. Along the way, he had noticed several "dirty" places. It seemed that some of the records in the travel guide were indeed correct. He had to be more careful here. …

Chadwick was thinking in his mind, and he became more and more vigilant. Then, he noticed that there seemed to be something wrong. Not far away, there seemed to be a few local youths who were idle and leaning on the roadside, looking at him. They were talking to each other at the same time.

You know, in this city, robberies and even kidnappings happen from time to time... Chadwick glanced around calmly, continued to walk forward for about 30 meters, and turned left onto a road. Forked road, avoiding the location of those young people.

Chapter 452 Blood in the Bathtub

However, he soon noticed with the corner of his eye that the young men left the position they were in, swayed behind him, and actually followed him.

This is not a good sign. It seems that these people regard themselves as a single foreign tourist as a fat sheep.Scenes such as robbery, shooting, kidnapping, etc. flashed through Chadwick's mind quickly. After that, he quickened his pace and began to search around the road.

Soon, he saw a hotel with a sign on the roadside about 40 meters away from him. Without thinking about it, Chadwick almost ran into the hotel called "Ace". Calle Hotel" hotel.

Generally speaking, even in chaotic areas, businesses that can open hotels will at least fulfill their obligations to protect guests, at least on the surface. Otherwise, these businesses would have gone bankrupt long ago.

That's what Chadwick thought. After entering, there was the hotel lobby. After looking around, Chadwick found that the environment here looked pretty good. Although the solid wood decoration with some classical styles was a bit old, it was It doesn't look shabby.

He walked to the front desk in front of the lobby. Behind the front desk sat a middle-aged woman whose body was a little deformed due to obesity. She was concentrating on scrolling through her mobile phone. She didn't raise her head until Chadwick came in front of her.

"Give me a cleaner hourly room." Chadwick said in a slightly stiff Gasol language, and then asked a little uneasily: "By the way, is it safe here?" ?”

"Don't worry, as long as you don't cause any trouble, no one will come here to make trouble..." The middle-aged woman spoke a somewhat vague Gasol language with a strong local accent and looked at it nonchalantly. He glanced at Chadwick and handed over a room card.Then, he picked up his mobile phone again and no longer cared about the guests in front of him.

Chadwick put away the room card and took a look at Room 207, so without saying anything, he walked directly upstairs along the side stairs.

After opening room 207, Chadwick closed the door. He took off his backpack and put it on the ground. He quickly walked to the window. He did not open the window. Instead, he stood on the side of the window and carefully looked down the window. , from here you can see the street below, which is the street he just walked along.

Sure enough, through the light of the street lamp, he soon saw three familiar men, the same people who were following him just now. At this time, he saw them standing at the door of the hotel and did not enter the hotel. Instead, they stayed there for a while, exchanged a few words with each other, and then turned around and walked away. It seemed that they had given up tracking Chadwick.

Seeing this, Chadwick was relieved. He observed at the window for a while and confirmed that there was no danger. Then he returned to the room, stretched out on the bed, and let out a sigh of relief.

There were so many things he had experienced these days, and he didn't get a good rest along the way. Lying on the bed, Chadwick couldn't help but feel his eyelids twitching, and he fell asleep unknowingly...

........................

………………

He didn't know how long he slept. Chadwick opened his eyes in a daze. It was still dark outside the window. It seemed that it was not yet dawn. Chadwick stretched himself and rubbed his sore shoulders. He propped up his body.

Why did he fall asleep... Chadwick sat on the bed and was stunned for a while. Then he took his phone and checked the time. It was now around 1 a.m.

At this time, he only felt a little sticky on his body, so he rubbed his face vigorously and decided to freshen up first before continuing to rest.

Chadwick's room has a relatively simple structure, similar to most hotel rooms of this level. It has a bedroom and a bathroom. The bedroom has a bed, desk, two small sofas, coffee table, and clothes racks.He walked into the bathroom and took a look, and found that there was a flush toilet, a white bathtub, and a shower head next to the bathtub. The shower and bath were separate.

After taking a look, he felt quite satisfied, so Chadwick directly turned on the faucet in the bathtub, quickly adjusted the hot water, and prepared to take a bath in a while.He had been trekking in the rain forest a few days ago, especially the last series of "encounters". It was inevitable that he had some bruises on his body due to bumps and falls. Although it was not serious, if he could take a hot bath, it would definitely be helpful for recovery. helpful.

With this thought in his mind, Chadwick couldn't help but feel better. He hummed a tune and quickly brushed his teeth in front of the bathroom sink. Then he took off his clothes, adjusted the hot water and started taking a shower. He was ready to Rinse your body first. When you finish washing, the hot water in the bathtub is almost full, just right for taking a bath.

The warm water rushed over the body, mist rose up in the bathroom, and the hand-washing mirror nearby was also covered with a hazy layer.

Chadwick stood under the spray head and enjoyed the pleasant feeling of hot water washing over his body for a while before he started to rub his skin...

After a while, he took the shampoo placed on the washstand nearby, squeezed it into his hand, then closed his eyes and began to apply it on his head, and then began to rub it, and soon white foam was formed...

Just as Chadwick was washing his hair, in the bathtub a few steps away from him, the hot water faucet was turned on, and the water level in the bathtub was slowly rising as the hot water was poured in.

What Chadwick didn't notice was that as the water level rose, a stream of red liquid began to spread in the bathtub...

It was as if someone knocked over a jar of red ink in the bathtub. In a short time, the entire water in the bathtub had turned a deep red color, and at the same time, strands of black hair began to emerge from the water.

The hair spread out from the bathtub like algae. Soon, a head silently lifted up from the water, with black hair hanging loose. Then, on the shoulders, there was a figure, sitting up in the bathtub out of thin air. …

Hmm...what does this smell like?Chadwick, who was rubbing his hair with his eyes closed, smelled an increasingly strong fishy-sweet smell on the tip of his nose. This smell carried a sense of horror, some kind of instinct engraved at the bottom of his genes, which made him The first time I smelled this smell, I felt some discomfort and vigilance.

It took him a while to realize that this was the smell of blood...

A bad feeling suddenly came over his heart. He quickly raised his face and washed it under the nozzle to wash away the foam on his face. Chadwick opened his eyes, and then, almost immediately, Then he discovered something that made his heart stop!

Chapter 453: Don’t be alarmed...

The bathtub that was empty just now turned red just as he applied shampoo. A woman with disheveled hair was sitting silently in the bathtub. Judging from the skin color and hair color, they were in line with the locals. They are similar to the local people. Most of the local people are mixed-race, the mixed-race descendants of the Gasol colonists and the local indigenous people. Gradually, a new ethnic group has been formed. The hair color is black and slightly curly, and the skin color is more similar to that of the yellow race. However, the facial features are... Has characteristics of Western white people.

The exposed upper body looks like that of a woman. Except for the slight sagging of the chest, the outline seems to be quite beautiful.However, this is not the point. The point is, how did this inexplicable person sit in the bathtub, and why was there a pool of blood in the bathtub? ! ! !

At this time, Chadwick stood naked under the nozzle. The warm water washed over his body, but he could not feel any warmth. On the contrary, after the initial shock, his heart beat violently and adrenaline began to be secreted.After using his reason to suppress the scream that almost blurted out for the first time, Chadwick soon realized that he must have seen something "dirty" again...

Don't alarm her...don't alarm her...

Chadwick had already grasped the key from his previous experience. It seemed that as long as he pretended not to see these ghosts, they would not attack him...

Chadwick only felt that his legs were a little weak, and goose bumps appeared on his body one by one. He suppressed the urge to rush out. He almost relied on the inertia of his body to maintain the posture of scrubbing his body. , he did not dare to look directly at the figure sitting in the bathtub, for fear that his sight would irritate her.

Chadwick stared closely at the poster of a revealing woman posted on the back of the bathroom door, almost cross-eyed. If there were other people present at this time, they might mistakenly think that he had never seen a woman. **mad.

Just like that, while Chadwick accelerated the scrubbing speed, he glanced at the figure in the bathtub again from the corner of his eyes.

Then only wisps of black energy were seen rising from her body and dissipating in the air.This abnormality further strengthened Chadwick's understanding just now.

Sure enough, with Chadwick turning a blind eye, the woman in the bathtub also made no movement. The two parties in the same room seemed to live in different parallel spaces, and the water in the well did not interfere with the river...

After swallowing hard, Chadwick hastily rubbed the foam on his head. He originally planned to apply shower gel to clean his body, but at this moment, he was still washing himself! ! !It’s only proper to wash up and go out as soon as possible! ! !

However, he couldn't make any sudden moves immediately. He was also worried that going out suddenly would disturb the ghost in the bathtub, so he could only follow the normal bathing process step by step...

However, the next moment, a new incident happened. The woman sitting quietly in the bathtub suddenly changed. Her body revealed a series of hideous scars, which looked like they were cut with a knife. It was like skin, ugly and cruel. Then, her left hand fell down and fell into the bathtub as if it had been cut off by some invisible sharp blade.

Immediately afterwards, her head was suddenly disconnected from her neck, and just like that, it rolled into the bathtub, followed by the right half of her body...

Right in front of Chadwick, the woman's body was like a broken doll, falling into the bathtub piece by piece. Chadwick just watched a person "disintegrate" in front of him. "...

The blood in the bathtub suddenly became as thick as plasma, bubbling with foam...

And at the next moment, the plasma-like liquid began to tumble, and then, pieces of meat began to squirm and gather together, like living worms, and they came together again!

"Da da……"

"Da da da……"

Faced with this horrifying scene, Chadwick was stunned. It took him a while before he heard a continuous knocking sound coming from somewhere.

Soon he discovered that the sound was actually the "ta-ta-da" sound made by his upper and lower teeth that could not bear to tremble.Not only were his teeth trembling, but his legs were also trembling, his knees were weak, and he almost sat down on the ground...

When Chadwick saw the woman who was made up of a pile of flesh, groping for a head in the blood with his hands, he couldn't help but feel his throat rolling, and he felt the urge to vomit well up, but he knew that , he must not vomit at this time, and tried his best to restrain his will to vomit. He turned off the nozzle with trembling hands, and then grabbed the towel hanging nearby. His hands trembled, and he failed to catch the white towel after grabbing it twice. .

Maybe his movements were a little too big. In the bathtub, the woman who was about to place the head on her head suddenly stopped moving, and the severed head she was holding in her hand looked straight at her with a pair of dark eyes. To Chadwick...

At that moment, Chadwick's heart almost stopped beating, but a huge sense of crisis came over him.

However, at this moment, he resisted the urge to rush out of the bathroom. Reason told him that that was not the best choice.

Previous experience told him that as long as he pretended not to see it, these ghosts would not do anything to him...

I can't see, I can't see...

Chadwick muttered to himself almost hypnotically. At the same time, he deliberately glanced to the other side, staring at the poster of the exposed girl posted behind the bathroom door. At the same time, He finally took off the towel hanging beside him, and began to wipe his body quickly despite being gentle...

In order to show his "normality", Chadwick even started humming a ditty. In fact, he himself didn't know what he was humming...

The tens of seconds of rubbing together seemed like a lifetime. Chadwick even felt dizzy due to excessive tension. Finally, after wiping his legs, Chadwick maintained a normal posture. , walked out of the bathroom and closed the door behind his back...

He stood at the door and paused for a moment, stiffly listening to the movement in the bathroom. After finding that there was no unusual movement, he breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, he ignored the fact that his back and head were not completely dry. He quickly put on his clothes, grabbed his backpack, and stumbled out of the guest room...

In the bathroom, after Chadwick walked out of the room, the woman in the bathtub put the head in her hand back on her own head, and then sat in the bathtub for a while, stunned again. Split into pieces of minced meat...

Chapter 454 I want to be a wizard!

After paying the room fee at the front desk, Chadwick rushed out of the door almost as if he was running away, as if there was a ghost chasing him behind him. He trotted along the road for at least a hundred meters and walked backwards. After looking around, he could no longer see the shadow of the hotel, nor could he see any "unclean" things following him around. Then he took a deep breath and began to slow down.

Feeling slightly relaxed, Chadwick began to sort out what he had just seen. According to his guess, the so-called "unclean" things he had seen these days were very much like the ghosts of people who died due to accidents.This was a guess that he had not yet verified. The reason was that he found that it seemed that the cause of death could be seen from these ghosts.

For example, if there are bullet holes, a broken head, and a body like the woman just now split into broken pieces of flesh, then maybe she was dismembered...

In other words, maybe, not long ago, a woman was killed, quartered and taken away in the bathroom of the room where he stayed? !

Well, it makes sense to think so. It was most likely that the body was dismembered after drowning in the bathtub, so I didn't see the ghost before, and I didn't see it until the water was released...

As for whether this conjecture is fact, it still needs some confirmation.

However, whether it is or not, Chadwick now feels that a world that he has never been exposed to before seems to be slowly opening the door to him.

Originally, he had two purposes for this expedition to the New World. One was to see if he could find any treasures, which would undoubtedly bring huge returns to his financial situation.Secondly, the resulting archaeological discoveries, after being announced, will undoubtedly bring him a considerable increase in reputation. This is also a matter of fame and fortune.

However, so far, one incident beyond imagination has shaken his previous thoughts.

As a rune, the environment in which he lived since childhood made him no stranger to legends about wizards and ghosts. Even in his childhood, the elders would scare disobedient children with some legends and stories containing such elements.

As an adult, because of the developed entertainment industry in modern society, whether it is movies, novels or games, it has an amplifying effect on this kind of subculture, and also allows him to be more exposed to this kind of information.

However, before that, he had only regarded these elements as fantasy stories passed down in history to deceive children, as well as baseless ramblings of the ancients. After all, this is the scientific and prosperous 21st century, not the ignorant and backward Middle Ages.

In this era, even churches and religions that once occupied a major position in Western people's lives have been relegated to become part of folk culture, and the new generation of young people have no fear of religion and the like. Many regard it as a relic of the feudal era. According to a newly released survey, it is said that the number of people under the age of 25 who go to church to pray every year has hit a record low. In fact, most young people only pray in churches during religious festivals or major events. Will step into the church.

Once upon a time, Chadwick was also such a young man. Instead of those illusory legends, he was more concerned about real things such as future development, personal wealth, and career prospects.However, after that experience, he suddenly thought clearly about some questions, which were questions that had been lingering in his mind since he came back from that magical secret realm.

He understood that something must have happened to him, so that he could see things that did not seem to exist in the eyes of others.And this kind of change is definitely inseparable from the previous experience. He once again recalled the last words left to him by the "Master Wizard" in his memory: "Finally, I will give you a piece of advice: what you have experienced The journey has paid off..."
