"Huff … Huff …"
Looking at the note that had fallen into a deep sleep, Fang Zhoushu heaved a sigh of relief. The huge stone in his heart had finally been lifted. When he heard the note let out a bloodcurdling scream just now, Fang Zhoushu didn't dare to make another move. He was afraid that the bill would die from the intense pain.
But from the looks of it, the will of the police to survive was not bad.
He had successfully endured the first stage of expelling the corpse poison.
Although the note had already passed the first stage of expelling the corpse poison, but looking at the purple lips of the note, the worry in Fang Zishu's eyes did not decrease, but instead increased.
Because the chain of actions that he did just now was only the first step to get rid of the corpse poison. Facing such a vicious corpse poison, there were still a lot of things that needed to be done, such as how to maximize the limits of the corpse poison's effects and its aftereffects.
Of course, to withstand the backlash of the corpse poison, the System would still need to rely on their own tenacious willpower, no matter how hard Fang Zhoushu and the rest tried, they could not bear the pain. The only thing they could do was to use all sorts of methods to suppress the corpse poison's attack on their heart, allowing the System to minimize the pain.
Fang Zishu originally wanted to carefully consider the ancient book's records regarding the 'Nine Palace Eight Trigram Formation', and see if he could find a way to break through this formation.
However, the appearance of the note made Fang Zishu give up his original plan. From his point of view, since the note had walked out of the tunnel filled with fog, it meant that the note was very clear on the inner workings of the tunnel.
As the saying goes, 'know yourself, know your enemy. A hundred battles are not enough.' If you can get the details of what happened in the tunnel from the police, then you can come up with a plan to deal with it in advance.
However, the most important thing right now was that the police officer had already fallen into a deep coma due to the corpse poison. From the looks of it, he would not be able to wake up within a short period of time. Just in case, Fang Zishu planned to discuss it with Professor Xu and the others and suggest that they wait for the note at the entrance of the passage to awaken.
Fortunately, they had plenty of food and water with them, enough to last them for a week on the spot. With no worries about food or water, everyone agreed to Fang Zhoushu's suggestion and decided to stay where they were until the note woke up again.
People said that time flew by, but in this dark array, the curve of time seemed to lengthen infinitely in this narrow space, and every minute and every second felt like a long time.
Here, Fang Zishu did not feel that time flowed. The only thing he could do was to do his best to take care of the unconscious Warrick, hoping he would wake up earlier.
In the darkness of the night, everyone's mood became downcast.
Initially, she could still take care of the cops, but in the end, her eyelids were trembling from sleepiness. Seeing this, Fang Zhisu took the initiative to take care of the cops himself.
The night was dark, and the fog was still there.
It was unknown how much time had passed. Perhaps it was a few hours, or it could be one day and one night.
Without the timer, he didn't know how long it had been in the outside world. The only thing he was sure of was that while they were waiting for the note to awaken, they had eaten a total of six times.
If the interval between each meal was six hours, it proved that they had spent at least thirty-six hours at the mouth of the passage.
Even though Xiao Hui and the rest of the team had changed shifts for the past two days, Fang Zishu still felt exceptionally tired. Just as he was dozing off in front of the stone wall, a soft moan came from the cop's mouth.
"Ugh …"
Although the voice of the note was very soft, it was still loud enough for everyone to hear. The napping script woke up immediately and rushed to the note's side with the fastest speed possible.
Thirty-six hours had passed. The cop's lips were still jet-black, but it was much lighter than before he had fainted. "Xiao Hui, the cop seems to be waking up. Come and take a look!"
"The 'corpse poison' in the wound of the note has been greatly reduced. It seems like the 'penicillin' that I had previously injected into it, as well as the 'Evil Repelling Talisman' that you had planted within it, have all taken effect." Just as Xiao Hui was checking the wound for the note, the note, which had been asleep for more than ten hours, slowly opened its eyes.
"I... This is... Have we arrived in hell? "
Perhaps it was due to the fact that he had been in a coma for too long, but even though the policeman had woken up, his head still felt a little muddled.
"Bands, bars..." Wake up, I'm Fang Zhicheng! "
Under Fang Zishu's repeated calls, the bar's slightly narrowed eyes finally opened. "Zi Shu..." Zi Shu, is it really you? I... I thought I was dead. "
"What nonsense are you talking about? With me, Fang Zhisu, here, even if you really become a 'zombie', I will still treat you!" "How do you feel now?"
"It's much better now!"
A smile appeared on the corner of the man's mouth. He looked at Fang Zhushu, Professor Xu and the others, who were all looking at him, and lightly nodded his head, indicating that he was fine.
Under the meticulous care of Xiao Hui, the cop who had eaten dried meat seemed to be in a much better mental state. The policeman saw that everyone was looking at him and understood what they were thinking. He leaned against the stone wall and slowly told them everything he had experienced in the past few days.
It was traced back to the mural in the cave ten years ago.
At that time, the note was sizing up the cave with its beautifully engraved frescoes, thinking that if the murals in the passageway were gouged out and sold on the black market, they would probably sell for an extremely high price.
"Ai, the woman in the mural seems to be smiling at me!"
When the note was sizing up the third mural, it suddenly heard Da Ceng's surprised exclamation. The note followed the sound and found Da Ceng's eyes blurred, as if attracted by the woman in the painting. Unconsciously, he approached the mural.
Although the note did not know what was so strange about the mural, he had followed the book for a long time and had seen many strange things. Thus, when he saw the blurry look in Da Ceng's eyes, he immediately realized that something was wrong and immediately pulled Da Ceng back without thinking.
As he was pulling, the strip's right hand accidentally touched the wall of the mural. Immediately, circles of ripples appeared on the surface of the mural.
Soon after, the note felt a huge suction force from the mural, a suction force that made him unable to move. Under the gaze of Fang Zhoushu and the others, he was sucked into the mural alive!
