Chapter 49: Another Dead
At night, the forest in the mountains is surprisingly quiet, but if you listen carefully, you can hear many sounds that you can't notice during the day.
"Goo-goo!
It's the call of an owl.
"Woohoo!"
Maybe it's the cry of a wild cat!
"Ah...... It hurts, it hurts!"
This one...... Forehead...... In fact, it was Lin Xiuyi's scream!
When Lin Xiuyi finally woke up from the frightened fainting, he realized that he was lucky to be alive. So after a short period of joy, Lin Xiuyi thought about trying to get up from the ground. However, as soon as this thought was transmitted to his body, his body protested violently to him with a sharp pain.
After struggling for a long time, Lin Xiuyi finally withdrew his hand from under his body. Then, he slowly groped his body, trying to check his injuries in the dark. From the head to the chest, then to the limbs, fortunately, although there were many wounds on his body, they should have been skin wounds to the touch.
When Lin Xiuyi confirmed that he was indeed not seriously injured, suddenly the intense pain just now became a little more acceptable, so Lin Xiuyi began to slowly turn over from the ground, and then looked up at the sky and began to think about how to escape from here.
"Alas...... It's a bit cold at night in the mountains!"
Lin Xiuyi sighed secretly, and then groped for a branch of moderate length from the ground. After trimming the branch in his hand a little, he slowly used it to support himself and stood up from the ground. Then, in the hazy moonlight, looking for the next path.
Fortunately, Lin Xiuyi did not fall into the depths of the woods when he rolled down the cliff. So he could see what was going on outside the woods. This made it easy for him to move around at night. In this way, Lin Xiuyi walked forward with difficulty along the edge of the woods and cliffs for a short while. Just as he was trying to get out of the woods, all of a sudden, he stumbled under his feet, and he didn't know what tripped him up again.
"Ah...... Alas...... It's really hard!"
Lin Xiuyi felt a little annoyed and touched his feet, and when he picked up the stone that had tripped over him just now, he saw that in the bright moonlight, a gloomy skull was suddenly held by Lin Xiuyi's hand.
"Eh, this is ......."
I saw that I actually touched the skull of a human being. After Lin Xiuyi experienced the initial surprise, he began to have great curiosity in his heart. Unexpectedly, not far from where he fell off the cliff, there was actually a corpse hidden. For a moment, Lin Xiuyi actually forgot that he was leaving here.
"Uh...... I didn't expect to meet you in such a way, poor fellow!"
Lin Xiuyi said as he solemnly placed the skull in front of him with both hands, and then folded his hands together and silently prayed for the dead who could not do it. A few minutes later, when Lin Xiuyi opened his eyes again, he slowly began to search for the rest of the corpse in the hazy moonlight.
It was a body that had been ossified, meaning that the deceased had died at least a year earlier. Lin Xiuyi carefully removed the fallen leaves covering the deceased's body, and then saw from the half-rotten fragments of clothes that the corpse was wearing before death.
"It looks like he was killed in the winter!"
Although under normal circumstances, this kind of scene where the body was found should be handed over to the forensic division to deal with, but now Lin Xiuyi is unable to notify his colleagues. All he could do was to look up what the corpse was carrying first, and see if there was anything that could prove the identity of the deceased, or something that could help Lin Xiuyi get out of here. It was with this intention in mind that Lin Xiu carefully searched the area around the white bone, and soon ...... Lin Xiuyi found a new discovery underneath the corpse. A small bag made of tarpulin.
"It's ......"
Lin Xiuyi looked at the tarpaulin bag in his hand with some confusion, and then carefully opened him, and then he found that in addition to what looked like a notebook, there were also a few pieces of paper that were soft to the touch. In this way, Lin Xiuyi opened the notepad in the moonlight with difficulty, and then carefully identified the handwriting on it.
"Someday, the hidden treachery will gradually reveal its true form, and although sin can be concealed for a while, it will inevitably be revealed in the end. May you be happy!"
"Is this ...... King Lear?"
Seeing this sentence full of profound meaning recorded in the notebook, Lin Xiuyi couldn't help but be extremely curious about the identity of the deceased, but it was night now, and it was really difficult to read this notebook. This made Lin Xiuyi feel extremely depressed. As a result, he could only dispel his curiosity to find out the identity of the deceased now. Then he began to sit down slowly against a nearby tree.
Now, the Valley of Light can't go back to itself. And he accidentally found another corpse of unknown origin in the dense forest at the foot of the mountain. And thinking of the place where this corpse appeared and what it carried, Lin Xiuyi had an irrepressible sense of excitement in his heart. He felt that the white bones at the foot of the mountain must have something to do with the Church of Light Truth.
I don't know if it's because too many things happened during the day, Lin Xiuyi quickly stayed by this white bone and slowly fell asleep. When he woke up again, it was already early morning.
When Lin Xiuyi took out the notebook again from the tarp bag, he found that the signature on the handwriting of the notebook read...... The name of Ninety-Nine Kojo. Seeing this, Lin Xiuyi immediately opened the notebook as if he had found a treasure.
Just like Lin Xiuyi found last night, the title page of the notebook prominently wrote that passage from Shakespeare's famous tragedy "King Lear". Although Lin Xiuyi doesn't have a deep understanding of drama, he still knows what the drama "King Lear" is about. This is a film about the tragedy of a child who kills his father. When Lin Xiuyi saw the rest of this notebook, he couldn't help but feel extremely shocked.
"That's what it is...... Is there something that the Church of Light Truth absolutely does not want people to know? What kind of miracles are just some magic tricks. ”
