Chapter 9: Confusion

I believe that when you hear titles like "Autopsy" and "The Book of Burial", most people think of something related to medicine and funeral customs, such as anatomy or ancient funeral systems. But the two examples given by Sanjiu make it impossible for me to understand the content of this book according to common sense, if it really records the production methods of corpse monsters and corpse dolls, then its value is self-evident.

Chinese civilization has a long history, there have been many talented people, but also created a lot of incredible obscenity, I believe in science, but also do not deny the reality of supernatural phenomena, because science can not solve the question for the time being, can only be said to be unknown, but can not judge it false.

Sanjiu said that there is some kind of parasite in the corpse monster, they live on corpses, they feel a bit like zombies, the one that jumped down the abyss is obviously different from other kinds, it is likely to be similar to the queen bee in the group, but why did it give up Sanjiu near and attack me who was far away on the platform? Since I can even use the autopsy technique recorded in "Autopsy", why do I need to come with them?

Sanjiu stared at the abyss under the stage, and suddenly spit out four words: "Unfathomable." ”

My brain was occupied by a lot of thoughts, and I couldn't figure out for a moment whether he was sighing at the abyss in front of him, or if he meant something else, and I wanted to continue to ask him if he knew who built the stone bridge and stone gate, and what this platform did, but three gunshots blocked my words, Sanjiu immediately grabbed the flashlight and turned off the light source, and his and Wu Feng's reactions in the emergency were surprisingly consistent.

The gunshot was followed by a terrible howl, which was followed by a curse, followed by more intensive gunfire, and a man with a loud voice and a deep voice shouted: "Set off the flares!" ”

With the two 'bang' sounds, the flares rose into the air, and I found that the space here was not boundless as I imagined, but my attention had been on other things, ignoring the surrounding environment, this should be a natural cave, full of jagged strange rocks, the hole was shaped like an upright rugby ball, Sanjiu and I were in the middle of the ball, and the flares were shot up from the bottom.

I lay on the edge of the platform, stuck my head out and looked down, because the distance was too far, I could only see a few small figures shuttling through the rubble, some ran two steps and hid behind a boulder taller than a person and fired two shots behind him, and some did not even look back, just ran away.

I asked Sanjiu, who was lying on his stomach next to me, at a volume that only the two of us could hear, "Who are they?" ”

Sanjiu looked suspicious and replied in a low voice: "Zhao Wuye's subordinates." ”

Hearing Zhao Wuye's name, I suddenly remembered the ownerless severed hand, and Sanjiu quickly added: "He's not in it." ”

The skills of the people below are good, even if they are fleeing for their lives, they do not show panic, running, jumping, soaring, and jumping every action is clean and neat, especially the man who walks at the end, he should be covering the person in front, shooting while retreating, not looking at the road under his feet at all, and the back of his head seems to have eyes.

He can take down one with every shot...... Devil! Demons, no, now call them goblins!

Seeing that the goblins I released were chasing and attacking their teammates, I felt a little guilty and hoped that they would run to our side quickly, but then what? The platform where Sanjiu and I are hiding is more than ten meters from the ground, can they climb up with their bare hands?

At this time, a question suddenly popped up, even if the distance between the platform and the ground was twenty meters, it was impossible for the two corpse monsters to fall without a sound at all, right? Is it possible that two skeletons of bones fell on the stone without even making a sound?

Sanjiu's lips were tightly pursed, and he quietly left a sentence of "good for himself", and the person rolled down the platform, this scene is tantamount to witnessing the scene of jumping off the building, I don't even have a chance to hold him, if he falls to his death, I'm afraid I will have nightmares for a long time.

Fortunately, two more flares were successfully fired, and I hurriedly looked down, trying to find Sanjiu's figure, but I only saw that among the people below, the one who ran first was already close to the bottom of the platform, and suddenly the platform shook, although it was very weak, but it did move......

Why does a good platform move? Just as I was in doubt, the tremor became more obvious, and I secretly screamed that if the platform collapsed, I would have to fall to death!

"Don't come here!" It was Sanjiu's voice, it seemed that he was still alive, and he was under the platform, he definitely didn't say this to me, it should be said to the person who approached the platform.

"Ninth Brother?!" The man's voice was not very old, with the characteristic clarity of a young man, and his tone was full of surprise.

I couldn't see his expression because of the distance, but I believed that the young man's face must have been smiling, but his joy was instantly replaced by horror, and I saw a black shadow catapulting towards him, the starting point was under the platform, the black shadow was like a black lightning, the speed was too fast, the young man had no time to react, and the black lightning struck him!

Sanjiu rushed to his side, but he was still a step too late, and the young man fell to the ground without saying a word, and several black arrows flew towards them like arrows, and at this juncture, the light of the flare was extinguished.

The platform became more and more unstable, and I retracted into the center of the platform, and heard someone below shouting 'Little Pig' or 'Little Zhu', I guessed it was probably calling the young man who had been struck by black lightning.

"These snakes will discharge, be careful!" Sanjiu's voice sounded again.

"What the hell is he's X?"

"How is the young master?"

"Ahh

In the dark, I listened to the sounds of fighting, gunshots, and screams below, and it felt like a movie suddenly went black at the most critical moment, and I could only rely on the sound to depict the scene in my head.

Damn it, am I qualified to be a bystander now? My own crisis has not yet been resolved, if the black lightning is a snake, will they climb up the pillars that support the platform?

But the truth is, I didn't have any means of escape except for a flashlight, and I suddenly had a ridiculous idea that maybe it was all a dream, and if I really died, I might be able to wake up......

"Get out of the way, see if I don't serve it in one pot!"

"Don't—"

I was pulled back to reality by Sanjiu's 'don't' that could be called a roar, and then I heard a loud 'bang', and the exploding fireball briefly drove the darkness away, and I was so shocked that I rolled around a few times, and my feet had fallen outside.

The platform is tilting! That's the first thought that crosses my mind.

I'm going to fall! It was the second, and the third thought was not what I could do to save myself, but 'Whoever did it, I'm going to kill him'!"
