Book of the Otherworld

Chapter 39 The Aftermath
Although the three decided to summon a sphinx to tell the fortune and ask about good and bad luck, it was naturally impossible for the three to start summoning immediately given their current state.

First of all, Ning Wenrui needs to rest and recuperate. Although his injuries are not serious, he has basically lost his fighting power. There will be another big battle if we don't get the time, and the three of them must face it in their best condition.

The second thing is that the mess in the hall needs to be dealt with. Whether it is the petrified Qin Ming, or the body of the snake demon whose head was cut off, they can't be left there.

As for the third, it is necessary to discuss what books to use as sacrifices to summon the Sphinx, and how to answer its questions when the time comes, all of which require further preparation.

So after resting for a while, the three immediately got busy.

Ning Wenrui was helped to rest in the villa. Because of his injury, he didn't need to work. As for Xiao Zhen and Xing Tianyu, they were not so lucky. Physical work is indispensable. The two first put in a lot of effort to carefully move Qin Ming's statue was moved to a corner of the hall, so as not to accidentally break it later, and repairing it would be impossible.

Immediately afterwards, the two of them dealt with the corpse of the snake demon in the hall.

The two of them studied for a while about how to deal with the corpse. At first Xiao Zhen suggested moving outside to dig a pit to sell, but after searching in the warehouse, Xing Tianyu put forward a different opinion. After all, the corpse of the snake demon It's not something from this world. It's always a trouble to keep it. He found a lot of barrels of sulfuric acid in the warehouse. He didn't know what they were used for before, but it seemed to come in handy.

To keep the corpse of the snake demon from being discovered, the best way is to dissolve the corpse of the snake demon with sulfuric acid. Speaking of this method, Xing Tianyu learned it from an American drama.

According to the plot in an American drama I saw at the beginning, it is best to use a plastic bucket as a dissolution pool (because plastic is not afraid of sulfuric acid), but this thing is ready-made in the warehouse, and an empty one-meter-high large plastic is directly moved. The bucket was placed in the open space outside the basement, and then the two began to think of a way to move the corpse of the snake demon out. Because the corpse of the snake demon was thick, long and unusually heavy, weighing more than 200 kilograms, and the lower body of the snake demon It's four or five meters long, and it's very slippery to handle, but it's not easy to lift the whole thing out. After two days of handling it, there is no way to drag it outside. In the end, I had to saw the corpse into several pieces. , moving out piece by piece.

Wearing a plastic protective suit and plastic gloves, he walked out holding the corpse of a snake demon exuding a bloody smell. Although separated by plastic, Xing Tianyu could still clearly feel the slimy flesh of this corpse, He felt a numbness in his scalp and an indescribable nausea in his heart. He gritted his teeth and refused to look at the corpse. After finally moving the corpse outside, he hurriedly threw it into the bucket.

The part of the snake monster is okay, but the human part made Xing Tianyu feel even more uncomfortable. Looking at the half body exposed, Xing Tianyu felt that he would be like a madman who killed and dismembered the body, biting Ya lifted the half of the corpse and threw it into the bucket to see that there was nothing left. The two quickly poured sulfuric acid in. Watching the corpse gradually turn into blood under the dissolution of sulfuric acid, Xing Tianyu felt a long sigh in his heart. , Close the lid, the disposal of the corpse is considered complete, and the rest will be handled by sulfuric acid.

Although the body of the snake demon was disposed of, the two of them kept the head of the snake demon. Without him, the snake demon has the ability to stare into stone. This ability may still exist after its death, and it may be used in the future. Use field, this point of view was brought up by Xiao Zhen because he had seen similar plots in some movies and games before.

Xing Tianyu did not object to this.

However, in addition to the corpse, there are still large areas of blood that need to be cleaned up.

I found a mop from the warehouse, various detergents and other chemical cleaners, and sprayed it with disinfectant after cleaning it. Xing Tianyu suddenly discovered that the things in the warehouse really have their own magical functions. When it came in handy, he was suddenly a little terrified as he was doing it. Being able to prepare so well showed that Qin Ming's uncle must be very experienced. He didn't know how many times they had summoned and how powerful they had acquired. But even so, they couldn't escape the ending of destruction in the end. The profession of summoner, as it is introduced in the book, is indeed a profession full of danger.

After working until noon, the two people cleaned up the summoning hall. The floor was scrubbed extremely clean, even the dust and flour left before were cleaned up. It looked even cleaner and tidy than when I first saw it. Only the smell of blood remained in the air, reminding the two of what happened before.

Xing Tianyu said: "Finally, I'm done. I'm almost exhausted. Let's take a rest. Let's call the Sphinx tomorrow and see how it goes."

Xiao Zhen nodded. Although he often exercises on weekdays, playing basketball is not the same as working. He is also exhausted at this time.

When the two returned to the villa, they found that Ning Wenrui looked much better, and even prepared a simple lunch.

The two of them were also very hungry, and they were not polite, so they picked it up and ate it.

After eating, the three of them sat in the living room, all of them were relatively speechless, because what happened today was so heavy that it made it difficult for the three of them to adapt, and they were unwilling to open their mouths, and they were unwilling to face what happened next. The things to be done, but no matter how difficult it is to adapt, they must be faced. In the end, it was Xiao Zhen who broke the silence.

"The summoning of the Sphinx may take place tomorrow, but the preparations should start now. What do you think is a better book to use as a sacrifice?"

Ning Wenrui thought for a while, "According to what is said in the Book of Other Worlds, the book that summons the sacrifice of the Sphinx determines the character of the summoned Sphinx to a certain extent. I think it is best to find A relatively light book, in this way, the summoned Sphinx may be easier to talk to."

"All right, I'll go to the study to see if I can find a suitable sacrifice." Xiao Zhen said, turned and left the living room, and walked towards the study.

However, Xing Tianyu picked up the book of other worlds and flipped through it. There must be more than one summoning ceremony to be performed next, so the more thorough the research on the book of other worlds, the better.

Before, he only wanted the four of them to perform a summoning ceremony before going down the mountain, so he didn't study this book or study it in detail. He just looked at the part of the existing summoning technique. Now it seems that this idea is not quite right. It may have been realized, and in that case, it is natural to take a closer look at it from the beginning.

Obviously, Ning Wenrui hadn't recovered from the pain, so he didn't get together to study together, but he took out a small notebook from somewhere to write and draw.

Xing Tianyu didn't care, his attention was all focused on this book, and the more he read it, the more dignified he became. The information contained in this book is really rich and colorful.
