Wizard Academy - Chapter 1

[Chapter 1 The Umbrella Man]

The truth of the world is often buried in the invisible underground, buried deeply and deeply by the sand of the years.

Jiang Zhu didn’t believe this before. There are so many unknown things in this world, but now he has to believe it.

Jiang Zhu took out his mobile phone and dialed 110.

“I want to call the police.”

“This is the Yellow River cliff hanging coffin scenic spot. The sarcophagus on the cliff fell.”

“A dead corpse crawled out of it. It… is biting and breaking the corpse.”

Jiang Zhu hung up after saying this. Phone, because…even he thinks he’s a lunatic.

Screams and cries came together, the desire for life, the fear of desperation, all kinds of reactions.

They have resisted and struggled, but it didn’t work. The dead corpse seemed to have infinite power, and it couldn’t be killed no matter how it was beaten.

In the end, the young people decided to lure away the dead corpses for those old people, children, and women, hoping… to survive a little, and tell everyone the incredible experience they saw, take it as a warning, and be in awe of the unknown.

But now, it was all over, and they were forced into a closed canyon with nowhere to run.

“What should I do now?” Several people were also brave for a while. They made heroic actions with their blood and energy. Now they are only afraid and pale.

“We just died like this, and I don’t know if anyone will remember us.” Some people even showed remorse on their faces, which is also human nature.

“Hehe!” It seemed that a bellow-like roar could be heard, like the roar of a monster. It was the dead corpse not far away.

The reason why they were able to escape until now is because every time the dead corpse kills one person, the person must be torn to pieces, and the rotten flesh on the ground will lose its last vitality before continuing to chase the next person.

The scene is like purgatory, which is disgusting. The team they led away from the dead corpses originally consisted of a dozen people, but now there are only five people left. They witnessed the entire process of the deaths of those who did not follow.

The scenes that directly hit the soul one after another made them not even have the will to resist, and they would rather die than see the scene of withered corpses. The

psychological defense line collapsed. The reason why they have not collapsed is because the current The desperation made everyone nervous, Jiang Zhu was sure that the mental torture would only begin when he relaxed.

Jiang Zhu was relatively calm. He grew up in an orphanage. He has experienced unimaginable cold and warmth. He is also the best at observing words and expressions. He glanced into the depths of the canyon, “There seems to be a cave there. Let’s go in and hide.

” The valley was their only escape route.

The cave is dark and narrow.

He was about to squeeze into the depths of the hole, “This hole is small, we block it with stones, maybe we can delay some time until rescue.”

Jiang Zhu couldn’t help but look at the person who was speaking. Said that he had just retired from the army, and it was also his proposal to draw away the dead corpses and leave hope for more people to live.

There are stones next to it, which should have been shaken down during the landslide, just like the sarcophagus that was shaken off the cliff of the Yellow River. The entrance of this cave might have been revealed because of the landslide.

The five hurriedly beat up the pile of stones.

When the stone piles seal the entrance of the cave, the light inside the cave becomes even dim.

“Hey, there seems to be a painting on the wall.”

Jiang Zhu took out his phone and turned on the flashlight function.

The murals on the walls are very old, and the content is barely discernible. It depicts the process of stitching the human head and the beast’s body together to form a new monster, as if performing some evil ritual.

“It is said that there were gods in ancient times, and gods were often shown to people in the image of human heads and beast bodies. Therefore, in order to express their longing for gods, the ancient ancestors would cut off the heads of their tribesmen and sew them on the bodies of beasts after they died. It is a custom in the tribal period.”

“The mural should be the record of this custom.”

The speaker was a young man with glasses, Sven, looking a little shy.

“My name is Zhou Tongwen, a student of the Department of History. I usually like to study these ancient customs.”

Jiang Zhu and the others continued to walk into the depths of the cave with the help of the light of the mobile phone. The eyes have also dried up into two concave black holes. The chasing person should not rely on the eyes, so the farther away from the dead corpse, the possibility of them being chased may be lower.

The size of the cave can only allow one person to pass through, but it is much deeper than expected.

The frescoes on the walls are continuous.

“Such a magnificent mural of such a large length is very rare among the discovered murals.”

“It is a historical miracle and has great archaeological value.”

Zhou Tongwen muttered.

Jiang Zhu sighed, he really is a nerd, when will this be the archaeological value of historical miracles, whether they will survive or not is unknown.

Jiang Zhu also glanced at the mural and stopped.

“What’s wrong?” asked Ji Yan, who was at the end of the break for a few people.

Jiang Zhu pointed to the mural, “Look, the mural has changed.”

The picture on the mural has become a battle scene. In the sky is a monster with a human head and a bird body. It should be the one stitched together with the human head and the beast’s body as seen earlier. of that type of monster.

On the ground are sarcophagi one after another, and countless dead corpses are crawling out of the sarcophagus and fighting with the monsters in the sky.

The five were silent. If they hadn’t encountered the dead corpse before, they might have just felt that the mural was full of whimsy, and admired the imaginativeness of the ancient human beings.

“Could this mural record the history that really happened?”

“We’ve all seen the dead corpse of the sarcophagus. Doesn’t it mean that such monsters with human heads and beast bodies also exist? What are they? Are they really monsters that were sewed up by humans?”

How is this possible? Modern medicine has only put forward the concept of head transplant, not to mention the incredible cross-species thing that combines the human head and the animal body.

The content of the mural is truly shocking and unbelievable.

But not only Jiang Zhu, but several other people also felt that maybe there was an unknown history that really existed, but for some reason, it was forever sealed in dust, and it was not revealed to the world until this time. open its real corner.

No one knows whether the unknown history is good or bad for people today, and it is a little difficult to breathe.

At this time, there was a sudden “bang bang” sound, which was particularly clear in the small cave. It was the sound of the stone pile being pushed down and rolled to the ground.

The five hearts trembled a bit, but they still caught up.

“Go!”

Continuing to move forward, there are no murals anymore.

After walking for about five minutes, the scene in front of me suddenly became brighter, it was a huge space embedded in the mountain.

“It’s not like it was formed naturally.”

If it was made by hand, how could such a large project be accomplished with the tools and productivity that were outdated in ancient times

? A platform extends into the dark distance, and the platform is surrounded by a bottomless abyss. Of course, it may be because the light is too dark to see the bottom.

“It’s really weird.”

“Who built this? What’s the purpose of the construction?”

“Even in modern times, such a project can be called an engineering miracle.”

Jiang Zhu looked around and walked along the The platform moves on.

Ji Yan said, “Be careful.”

Jiang Zhu didn’t answer.

Several other people were silent for a moment and followed, and they had no way out.

To a certain extent, the psychological shadow of a dead corpse has surpassed the fear of the unknown.

It took about two minutes to reach the end of the platform. .

“There’s no way?”

“What’s the point of a platform protruding from a cliff?”

Jiang Zhu walked in the front, and his line of sight was farthest. In front of him, there was actually a large stone on the platform. The platform, because the stone platform is dark, is not obvious in the dark.

Jiang Zhu thought, “Altar?”

What is it used for worship?

The stone platform in front of him was dark and blurry, and it was even more difficult to see in the dim light.

But on the stone platform, there seems to be some kind of light flickering, which seems a little strange.

Mirror? The light reflected by the mirror? Or some ore that reflects low light?

Jiang Zhu couldn’t help but reached out and probed over, but only when he touched the dim light, his entire palm plunged into the boiling oil.

Sting, pain into the soul.

Due to his special upbringing, Jiang Zhu’s personality is particularly tolerant, but at this time, the feeling of pain penetrating into his bones still made him unable to help but cry out in pain.

Several people gathered around, “What’s wrong?”

“Hand!”

Someone took out their mobile phone and took a picture.

Jiang Zhu’s muscles were convulsing from the pain, but he was stunned when he opened his eyes to his palm. There was no burn or burn. The palm was in good condition, but there was a tattoo of “door” on the palm, and the sun, moon, and stars merged into it. The color is very dark and very conspicuous.

“It’s the first time I’ve seen someone get a tattoo on their palm.”

Jiang Zhu: “…”

What’s going on?

He was sure he had no hobby of tattooing, and he didn’t have it in his palms before entering the cave.

In other words, it appeared after he touched the stone platform for sacrifice just now. What is this, the tattooing technique of the ancient ancestors?

Still in a daze, suddenly the sound of “Hehe” entered his ears.

The speed was very fast, and before he could react, a ferocious black shadow rushed over, the smell of carrion and the strong smell of blood in the nose.

The pupils shrank violently, it was the dead corpse!

The light of the phone flickered.

Jiang Zhu originally walked at the front, but now a few people stepped forward to see what happened to him, but instead exposed him to the dead corpse.

The feeling of flesh and blood being cut apart, I only saw the strange power of cutting gold and cutting stones from dead corpses before, but now I can feel it personally.

dying! I truly understood the horror in the hearts of those who just died.

The roar of the dead corpse was like a monster, and it was so frightening that it didn’t even have the strength to move.

At this moment, a figure suddenly bumped into the dead corpse, pulling it with all its strength.

It’s Ji Yan!

But how could human beings be compared to monsters? Almost instantly, Ji Yan’s arm was scratched by the corpse’s claws, and several blood holes were visible deep into the bones. The wounds were a mess, like chopped tofu.

Jiang Zhu was stunned, and he didn’t know where the strength came from. He tried to get up. He hugged the dead corpse by the waist, pushed Ji Yan away with all his might, and then fell into the abyss.

Because he has known cold and warm since childhood, he is more grateful than anyone to those who held umbrellas for him when he was in the rain.
