Chapter 411 The direct confrontation with Queen Himihu! [2000 updates have been made! 】
The group of people paused in front of this narrative-like mural for a long time, feeling a little incredible about the strange legend of Queen Himihu.
While everyone was meditating, Su Mo's ear heard the eerie whisper again: "Help me complete the ritual, and I will give you powerful power!"
This voice was intermittent before, but now it can be connected into complete sentences. It seems that the other party's strength has recovered some.
"If this is really the voice of Queen Himihu, then according to the mural, her body was finally left in the secret room used for the reincarnation ceremony. Could it be here?"
Thinking of this, Su Mo continued to explore forward for a while, and sure enough he found that there was an iron gate at the end of the corridor.
However, there are several huge iron chains wrapped around the door. Judging from the rust on it, it cannot be something from thousands of years ago, but was tied up by the researchers later.
Standing in front of the iron gate, Su Mo suddenly figured out many things.
The people at the original institute may have discovered this place when they were building the building above, but I don’t know what happened later. They chose to lock the door and abandoned the entire institute.
But according to what the commander said, the islanders on the island have now become believers in Himihu, and their greatest wish is to help the queen resurrect.
But if that's the case, then why are they running away? They have Himihu's body firmly locked here.
Su Mo was a little confused. He stretched out his hand several times to hold the doorknob, but finally let go.
He didn't believe in those legends of gods and ghosts before, but what happened today has forced him to believe it. If he opens the iron door, he might meet the queen who has turned into a wraith.
He didn't think that an old man who had been dead for thousands of years could like him like other women. Although they said it was nice and would give him great power, who knew if it was a lie?
Thinking of this, Su Mo was ready to return the same way, but the murmur immediately rang again: "Don't go!"
There was obviously a hint of urgency in his voice this time, as if he was afraid that he would leave directly.
Su Mo immediately stopped and pricked up his ears.
Sure enough, the voice seemed to be relieved, and said: "The power you had before was incomplete, so it couldn't be controlled. I have removed it for you. Don't you want to get the complete blessing?"
Su Mo's eyes suddenly shrank, because the sound really came from behind the iron door.
"It's really here!"
Although his heartbeat had accelerated involuntarily, there was still no wave on his face.
It's not uncommon for Su Mo to receive complete blessings. He came here just for money and to relieve the negative impact of the black stone. If Himihu really helped him eliminate negative influences, then half of the purpose of his trip would have been accomplished.
Thinking of this, Su Mo decided to go back and experiment first. He immediately returned quickly, completely ignoring the increasingly urgent murmurs in his ears.
Returning to the mural, he pulled Aphrodite into his arms.
"Master, you..."
Aphrodite thought he was having another attack, but before he could finish his words, Su Mo's mouth blocked the rest of his words.
This made KOKIA speechless for a while, and he quickly turned his head.
But Su Mo immediately let go of the woman in his arms, because since he was negatively affected, as long as he had too close contact with the opposite sex, he would immediately reach the critical point of losing control, but this time he didn't react at all. .
Doesn't this mean that he has returned to normal?
Thinking of this, the joy in Su Mo's eyes could no longer be concealed.
He immediately ran to the big iron door and said slowly: "Can you hear me?"
"Of course, I am the omnipotent Queen Himihu..."
Before Himihu finished speaking, Su Mo rolled his eyes: "If you are so powerful, why are you locked up here?"
"You..." Himiko was choked, and after a while he continued: "My loyal fan, this Queen can forgive your rudeness, as long as you... "
Su Mo interrupted her again: "Laobanggua, please stop flattering yourself. Please understand that you are the one asking me to do something now, so be polite to me!"
His words made Queen Himihu, who had been dead for thousands of years, so angry, "Aren't you afraid that I will give back what I just removed for you?"
Su Mo sneered: "You can try it."
Himihu stopped talking. In fact, it can be said that she regained some strength after absorbing the negative influence from Su Mo.
Su Mo was also betting that she didn't have this ability, so he was not polite to her at all.
After a moment, Himihu seemed to realize the reality and said slowly: "Then what do you want to do before you are willing to help me?"
Su Mo did not answer the question, but asked: "Don't you have many loyal believers? Why don't you ask them to do it?"
"Huh, those guys are not my believers!" Himihu said with gritted teeth; "When they opened this secret room, I promised that as long as they help me complete the reincarnation ritual, I will send them away safely and give them a gift. Batch the treasure."
Su Mo nodded. This was very different from what the commander said. According to what was said on the mural, as long as a young woman, Himihu could be reborn temporarily, but it would not last long.
But decades have passed, and one woman after another has been sacrificed on the island, but Himihu still has not completed the reincarnation.
This is simply unreasonable.
"Did they betray you too?" Su Mo asked.
"Yes, they are all traitors!" Himihu cursed: "You have already seen the murals, and you should know that before the reincarnation ceremony, the selected sacrifices need to undergo a fire ceremony, and they will tie the sacrifices to pillars. Then light the dry firewood below, and the specific rule is that as long as I like the sacrifice, I will use strong wind to blow out the fire, otherwise I will let the fire burn the sacrifice."
Having said this, Himihu seemed to be even more angry. After a while, he continued: "I have become like this, how can I still pick people? But the leader of this island betrayed me. He turned this iron fan The door was locked, the fire ceremony was held elsewhere, and my scepter was taken away so that I could not influence the outside world."
Su Mo raised his eyebrows, guessing what happened next, "You mean, the leader deliberately burned those women to death to create the illusion that you were not satisfied with the sacrifices?"
Himihu sneered and said: "Yes, if there is anyone on the island who doesn't want to leave the most, it must be the leader. He uses my name to run rampant on the island, but he enjoys this very much. It’s a privilege.”
Su Mo didn't expect that all these people were trapped on this isolated island, and there were still people who wanted to enjoy privileges and exploit others. It was really hopeless!
......
Outside the iron door of the secret room, Himihu's voice already had a hint of pleading.
"Now that I've told you the whole story, what do you think, are you willing to help me?"
But Su Mo still shook his head: "One more question, why can't my companion hear your voice?"
"Alas." Himihe sighed: "I once had a scepter. After I became like this, I could only talk to the holder of the scepter. The scepter is now with the leader of the traitors. There, but you should have come into contact with a black gemstone, which was once the most important part of my scepter, so I can talk to you."
Su Mo was a little doubtful, but now everyone is trapped in the extremely evil sea. If he doesn't cooperate with Himihu, how can he leave here?
But if you cooperate with this guy, you might be fooled. Who knows how much bad water this guy who has lived for who knows how long has in his belly?
No matter how powerful a person is, Su Mo is not afraid, but how can he deal with something like the "vindictive spirit" that exists in the story?
Thinking of this, he decided to give in to the other party first: "Okay, I can help you, but there are too many iron chains on the door, and I can't open it."
Hearing this, Himihu's tone immediately became urgent: "This is easy. The key should be with the leader of the islanders. Just go and get it."
Su Mo sneered in his heart, but he still said: "I'm not familiar with the road outside, why don't I draw a picture on the ground and you tell me the correct route?"
He said this because he wanted to test how capable this guy was.
Himihu did not doubt that he was there, and immediately replied: "I am very weak now, and I am not as omnipotent as before, but as long as you leave you and go directly to the top of the mountain, you will definitely find the gathering place of the islanders."
Su Mo knew now that this old gangster's current strength was indeed pitifully weak. If he hadn't wanted to lead them out of the Sea of Evil, he would have turned around and left long ago.
Although he thought so in his heart, he still nodded: "Okay, I'll go right away."
Himihu was overjoyed and immediately made a promise: "As long as you help me, I will give you some treasures in return and send you away from here."
"A lot?" Su Mo asked pretending to be greedy.
"Of course, I can't spend it all in a few lifetimes!" Himihu immediately followed his words and said.
"That's great, I'll go find someone right now!"
With that said, Su Mo left here quickly and walked towards the mural.
Arriving in front of KOKIA and others, he immediately made a silence gesture, and then wrote on the dusty slate with his finger: "You stay here while I go out to save Amamiya Aoi."
Although the two of them didn't know why he did this, they nodded immediately.
After telling the two of them not to go toward the iron gate, Su Mo quickly left the corridor and returned to the ground, then ran non-stop towards the top of the mountain.
Without the wounded to take care of, his speed accelerated many times, and he finally reached the top of the mountain before dawn.
Looking around, I saw a small village stretching for several miles in the distance, almost all of which were traditional Japanese huts. It must be the gathering place of the islanders.
After climbing up a big tree and observing the terrain for a while, Su Mo found that most of the houses here were one-story wooden buildings. There were only two-story cement buildings in the open space of the village. If nothing else, it was probably This is the chief's residence.
The commander really didn't lie. It's not unusual for thousands of people to live in such a large house. It's not easy to rush in and save people in this situation.
Moreover, at this time, there were moving torches on the paths inside and outside the village. It seemed that some islanders were patrolling, and the defenses were so tight. It could be said that as long as outsiders showed their heads, they would be discovered immediately.
But this didn't bother Su Mo, and he even thought of a good way to enter the village.
He quickly walked through the jungle and soon came to a path, then lay down in the dense bushes.
After waiting for a while, several islanders came along the path, but Su Mo did not rush to take action. Instead, he lay there motionless, carefully observing their movement routes and words and deeds.
He soon discovered that these people didn't communicate much when walking. They just patrolled with their heads down, and the routes were fixed. Perhaps because it took too long, some people would go to the bushes on the roadside for convenience from time to time.
Seeing this, Su Mo knew that the opportunity had come.
When the next patrol passed by, an islander broke away from the team in front and walked into the woods in a panic. It seemed that he was preparing for a convenience.
Su Mo immediately tiptoed over to him, and then while the other person was feeling happy, he rushed forward and broke the other person's neck.
His movements were very fast, and the islander just grunted and returned to the west.
Putting the body down gently, Su Mo took off the other person's clothes with all his hands, then put them directly on his body, and then quickly followed the patrol ahead.
It was still not fully light now, and he was walking with his head lowered, but no one noticed that his teammate had changed.
In this way, he finally managed to sneak into the village.
He lowered his head and looked around, and saw a large group of people building a wooden platform in the open space in the center, while more people were transporting firewood.
And an old guy wearing a military coat and carrying a command knife at his waist was pointing fingers at the working people. He seemed to be the leader here.
And a scepter in his hand immediately caught Su Mo's attention.
"Could this be Himihu's scepter? Are they preparing to hold a fire ceremony?"
Su Mo was a little anxious, but there were so many people here and Amamiya Aoi didn't know where he was being held, so he didn't dare to act rashly and could only follow the patrol and continue moving forward.
After patrolling for several more times, and after he was familiar with all the surrounding roads, the patrol team finally returned to the village again.
At this time, the sky was completely bright, and the open space was already crowded and lively.
This undoubtedly gave Su Mo an opportunity, and he immediately left the team and blended into the crowd.
After a while, the leader he saw before slowly walked up to the wooden platform that was set up. He waved the scepter in his hand and began to talk in a gibbering manner. When he spoke impassionedly, the islanders below immediately applauded. It's like giving a speech.
Of course Su Mo didn't understand a word, but in order not to be discovered, he could only clap along against his will.
After talking for a while, all the islanders present suddenly cheered loudly and moved their heads in one direction.
Su Mo immediately turned around and saw Amamiya Aoi being dragged out by a group of elderly women. She was tied to a log in various ways and could not move at all. Even her mouth was stuffed. There was a strip of cloth, but strangely, the strip of cloth around her eyes was still intact, and she didn't know why the islanders didn't move.
A moment later, Amamiya Aoi was put on the wooden platform. As all the guards on the wooden platform left, a flash of fire flashed, and a raging fire broke out below the wooden platform!
"Fuck, is it so direct!"
Su Mo was a little surprised. He was about to take action, but something unexpected happened!
