I groped around the massive stone, finding only a few bite-like marks.
At that moment, I wedged my crowbar into the gap of the stone and pushed with all my might, but it didn’t budge at all.
Meanwhile, Xiao Xiao sat nearby watching me. I was bent over, and as I glanced over, a torch flickered to life, causing my gaze to naturally fall upon the neckline of Xiao Xiao's clothing.
What caught my eye was a stark white expanse!
Alright, this scene did indeed stimulate my nerves a bit, but as I looked closer, I was suddenly taken aback.
Her clothes were relatively loose, and due to the fabric's texture, the neckline wasn’t very revealing. However, when I looked more “deeply,” I noticed what seemed to be a scar at her heart area.
No, perhaps it shouldn’t be called a scar!
It resembled a black line like that of a centipede, about an inch wide. It looked quite sinister and extended long down toward her abdomen!
What on earth was that?
I felt a jolt of shock within me. If it were a scar, how could a living person have a scar running from their chest down to their belly for several dozen centimeters? That would mean they had been cut open! Even if it were just a cut on the belly without affecting the internal organs, the wound would need proper care. Anyone who has had an injury in that area knows that once hurt, one must lie still to heal because there’s hardly any flesh there. Even if stitched up, improper movement could easily tear the wound open, causing intestines to spill out!
In short, that mark was definitely not right!
Thinking back on everything I had encountered since meeting Xiao Xiao, it was all different from what I had known before. Everything was telling me—she was not normal!
Unfortunately, the dim light here made it hard to see clearly as I followed the neckline with my gaze. After all, Xiao Xiao exhibited very obvious signs of life!
I needed to figure out what was going on with her; otherwise, in this ancient tomb, I wouldn’t feel secure at all. If I encountered something similar to Zongzi or even more ferocious beings while having such an uncertain factor by my side, my life could very well be forfeit here!
I am selfish; I don’t mind helping others or saving lives, but only if—I and those around me can survive!
I had to get to the bottom of this!
With my mind made up, a bold thought suddenly emerged within me. I could even feel it—my gaze toward Xiao Xiao had changed!
Xiao Xiao seemed to sense something unusual as her expression shifted to one of alarm when she looked at me.
I grabbed her collar and yanked it forward with all my strength, hearing a loud rip as her cotton jacket was torn to shreds.
Then I froze.
The torch in my hand fell to the ground, and I let out a startled shout.
Not only me, but even Furball, who had been sleeping on the ground, jumped up high in surprise.
Xiao Xiao let out a cold laugh, having already stepped back a bit, about ten meters away from me. Her upper body was completely bare, and her figure, which should have been the most beautiful work of art in the world, was now grotesque before us.
A scar that looked like a centipede stretched from Xiao Xiao's chest down to her abdomen. In addition to that, her body was crisscrossed with several similar scars. However, these scars had not scabbed over; they were stitched together with black thread, making her look like a tattered doll.
“Brother Xia, this thing is not to be trifled with!”
“Bro! I can't handle this one; I can only deal with physical entities.”
I nodded; there was no other choice. Then I looked up at Xiao Xiao, standing across from me, and softly asked, “Now it's just the two of us. What exactly are you? And what is your relationship with Nikola?”
“Ha ha ha ha! Since the cat's out of the bag, I'll let you die knowing the truth... You really are a bunch of naive kids, ha ha ha ha…”
At that moment, Xiao Xiao laughed eerily without answering my question. Instead, she smiled seductively and said, “I thought I could play along a bit longer; I didn't expect you to see through it so quickly!”
With that, her pale hands moved to where the stitches were pulling at her skin, and she forcefully tore them apart. With a loud rip, her skin was brutally shredded apart. As she exerted more force, her skin was torn into pieces, and a black skeleton slowly emerged from that skin. When it appeared before me, chills ran down my spine!
What kind of skeleton was this?
The Skeleton looked like charcoal but was entwined with Vessel, and there was an entire set of internal organs nestled between its ribs—Liver, Heart... In short, the Internal Organs were all intact and seemed to be functioning; at least the Heart was beating steadily. The only thing missing from her body was flesh!
“Wearing things that don't suit you is indeed a burden!”
The skeleton spoke softly and then raised its hand to violently remove those organs from its body. The Vessel was ripped apart, blood gushed out, and even the Heart was crushed in her grip. She casually tossed these remains into the stagnant water of the tomb chamber. To my astonishment, as soon as they hit the water, they began to emit white smoke followed by a strong stench of decay, quickly turning into pus!
Everything around me strongly stimulated my visual senses; I... vaguely understood what this thing truly was!
“Isn't Nikola a vampire? Shouldn't you turn into a Bat according to logic? How did you end up as a skeleton?”
At that moment, a male voice interrupted, "That's not the point. As her friend, are you only concerned about me?"
Huh? Suddenly, I understood something. Was it Xiao Xiao's body that was just taken off? A wave of dizziness washed over me as I thought about our usual day and night together, reminiscing about those days we supported each other. I felt like I was about to faint, barely able to stand!
"It's all your fault, you old fool! You sealed me away and even destroyed my body. If it weren't for my own strength, how could I have returned from the dead?"
Huh? So he had his flesh completely destroyed, leaving only Bones behind. Similar to the White Bone Lady from Journey to the West, but he was Mr. White Bone?
Had the vampire instantly turned into a skeletal figure?
The White Bone Spirit would peel off human skin and take their internal organs, attaching them to itself, along with a heavy dose of resentment. This resentment would allow the organs and skin to remain immortal. Thus, after transforming, the White Bone Spirit would be almost indistinguishable from a living person, making it hard to detect!
"Hey! I'm just a bit weakened! I'm not some Black Bone Corpse Demon!"
Damn it! Those words left me speechless!
According to the classifications in Mausoleum Secrets, no matter what you call it—Zongzi, Blood Corpse, or any other monster—once it turns into bones, it's labeled as a Black Bone Corpse Demon.
I can't believe I encountered something like this!!
