Chapter 16: Cave Exploration
At first glance, the corpse looked very terrifying, but the deceased's face was cut by a knife, and the whole face was covered with blood, and the sticky and dry blood spread, and it was impossible to see what the person looked like.
Tang Xin's brows furrowed again, it was another case-solving reasoning puzzle, how good is this! Tang Xin poked and poked the corpse here, pinched there, and then tossed it over and over several times, except for the hole in the top of his head and his face covered in blood, nothing else was found.
Helpless, it seems that she really isn't the material for Sherlock Holmes, she found the second son of Wen in the friend list and sent a message to the past.
"Wen Er, I have a dead man's body here, are you interested?" Scare! Why is this so terrifying, if someone sees it in reality, the police will probably come to question it soon.
"What kind of corpse, take a few pictures for me." Wen Er Gongzi quickly replied, without the slightest feeling of discomfort, and calmly asked for the picture.
Tang Xin's photography skills are still passable, I saw that she first took a panoramic view of the front, then turned the body over and patted the back, and then took some wounds on the back of the head, the hideous bloody face, the chest muscles and abdominal muscles after the clothes were peeled off, and a few close-ups of places below the thighs that could not be described, and they were all sent to Wen Er Gongzi.
"Wash the blood off his face and take another picture, I want to see what he looks like."
Yo! I just want to see my face when I can't describe it! Tang's mind was opened, and he still took a kettle in his hand neatly, and slowly rinsed the blood from the corpse's face. "Huh! Isn't this Warren? Shui Ling'er originally looked at Tang Xin's actions with a frightened face, and she looked like she had seen an alien, she hurriedly smashed her mouth, and when she saw the corpse's face clearly, she made a sound in surprise.
"You recognize?"
"Well, it's Uncle Ato's son, he's a baker, and I've helped him deliver goods before." Shui Ling'er grabbed Tang Xin's shoulder, looked at the corpse, nodded and said.
"Is his shop next to the fountain? How is business going on a regular basis? What enemies are there in the village? Tang Xin asked, Shui Ling'er was born on the island to do small tasks, don't dare to say anything else, the villagers on the island should have recognized everything.
"Well, it's on the street around the fountain, because you have to take water from the fountain to make bread, there are more people there, business is quite good, there is only one bakery on the island, and the bread he makes is delicious, I don't know about Warren's enemy! But Warren has a good temper and is a very nice person, I help him deliver and he teaches me how to make bread! â
Tang Xin sent this information back to the second son of Wen, and he was also thinking in his heart, Yato is a tower keeper, he is on the lighthouse for more than 20 days a month, and their family also lives in a small house next to the lighthouse, usually the residents of the island can rarely see Yato, let alone the enemy, who can attack from the front, make him unsuspectingly stabbed, and then throw him on the beach?
In fact, this is a superfluous move, if it weren't for the player's mission, there would be no local villagers going to the beach behind the lighthouse, and wouldn't it be faster to throw them into the sea and destroy the corpses?
As Shui Ling'er said, Warren is just an ordinary baker, on this small island, the interpersonal relationship is very simple, everyone knows each other, the atmosphere is harmonious, and there is only one shop of all kinds, and there is no competition with each other.
Such an island, with abundant fish, fruit groves, fertile fields and harbors, even disease and death rarely come, let alone the murder of two fathers and sons in succession, which is estimated to be a rare big news on the island in a century. Tang Xin thought as he explored the stone platform they were on now, the bottom of a hollow cave behind the waterfall, the stone walls had been washed away by the currents for years, leaving traces as smooth as fish scales. The further in, the lower the height of the hole, from the outermost side, more than four or five meters of the hole, to the bottom, you need to kneel on the ground and crawl forward.
Tang Xin was not wearing a long priest's robe at this time, and her racer vest and shorts made her already slender waist even more dexterous. She held a holy light in her hand, illuminating the depths of the cavern.
As the light advanced, Tang Xin found that there was a gap twenty centimeters high and one person wide at the point of the cave, and when he touched it, the water here was clear to the bone, and when he reached the entrance of the cave, he could feel the cool breeze blowing, bringing a cold smell.
"Let's go, go in and have a look." Tang Xin grabbed the stone walls on both sides of the cave entrance with both hands, lay on the cold stone, and slowly leaned into the water, the edge of the stone was a little slippery moss, which made the whole movement very laborious.
She kicked her left foot, took a deep breath of oxygen, and slid into the water like a fish.
The entrance of the cave is only ten centimeters high on the ground, but there is still about two people in the deep underwater space, but the width has narrowed, if it was a one-person model before, the underwater part is only about half a person to two-thirds wide, fortunately, Tang Xin's figure is slender, and he rubbed against the edge of the stone wall and crossed it.
Shui Ling'er was not so lucky, although her figure was also petite, but her chest was too well developed, and she was still stuck in the middle of the stone wall wearing a small I-shaped vest without a gathering effect.
Tang Xin, who turned his head back to rescue her, couldn't help but laugh when he turned his head back to rescue her, but in the end, he remembered that he was now underwater, and it was no joke for water to pour in, even if it was a game, it was impossible to open his mouth and talk underwater, and he would let you drown in minutes.
With Tang Xin's help, Shui Ling'er was pulled out and passed through the narrow stone wall, fortunately this is in the game, and the player's pain is 20% by default, otherwise she will definitely scream in pain.
Walking through the cave and continuing to swim forward, Tang Xin felt that his qi was not enough, but now the place above his head less than three or five centimeters from the water surface was a stone wall, and there was no way to stretch out his head to breathe. Shui Ling'er obviously encountered the same problem, although the game prolongs the player's breath-holding time, but after all, there is a limit, otherwise the efficiency underwater is the same as on the shore, so how to reflect the realism of the game?
Moreover, the priest's chanting needs to be spoken, at least to move his lips, so Tang Xin can't add blood to himself.
Now that they had to continue to swim forward, the two couldn't help but speed up.
After walking for about 20 meters like this, Tang Xin felt that the oxygen was exhausted, and her chest gradually became painful, at this time Tang Xin had not drowned, but the number of blood minus 20 points per second appeared on her body, according to Tang Xin's existing blood volume, she definitely couldn't last 20 seconds.
Shui Ling'er's situation is similar, but the thief's natural blood volume is slightly more than that of the priest, and it is estimated that he can last a few seconds longer than Tang Xin.
The amount of blood dropped rapidly, and Tang Xin was ready to trigger today's second divine resurrection, at this time, his eyes suddenly brightened, and the water suddenly opened up.
Call! Tang Xin suddenly popped up.
Saved!
She didn't bother to look around her, she couldn't wait to gasp for air, she had never felt that it was so important to have zĂ i oxygen in every moment of her life like this moment.
The smell of the air was very weird, first it was an unpleasant fishy smell, and there were some weird aromas mixed with it, but Tang Xin and Shui Ling'er couldn't care about it so much.
It was a huge cavern, very bright in the cavern, and there was a large circular hole above their heads, through which they could see the distant blue sky.
If you want to use a vessel to describe this place, it may be a narrow-mouthed vase, where the two of them are located is the bottom of the vase, and there is a big waterhole very appropriately, the waterhole is surrounded by stone walls on all sides, and there is no place for people to go ashore to rest, so Tang Xin and they are still soaking in the water.
The surrounding stone walls are curved and rounded, like the fat body of a vase, and the stone walls are smooth and moist, with a fish-scale-like shape.
"Sister Sugar Heart, there doesn't seem to be anything here! And it tastes so weird, disgusting to death! After Shui Ling'er recovered, she had already walked around the cave, and after finding nothing, she shouted to Tang Xin.
"Do you see there's a box up there?" Tang Xin held a telescope in his hand and looked up at the entrance of the cave, constantly stepping on water under his feet.
"Where, where...... Yes! It seems to be oh, and the reflection flashed in my eyes just now! Shui Ling'er also seemed to see it.
"I'll go up and have a look." Tang Xin put away the binoculars and swam to a stone wall that was not so arcing, and then she took out a bag of parts, wrapped it around her waist twice and fixed it on her body, put on gloves, and took out a tool that looked like a hammer and an awl.
Tang Xin first used the special tool to carve out three cross-arranged grooves of different heights on the stone wall, and then took out a flat awl-shaped part from the belt of parts around his waist, and used the side of the special tool hammer to nail the parts into the stone wall as a fulcrum for climbing. Then she grabbed the fulcrum with both hands, and with one force, her body had jumped out of the water, and she stepped on the smooth stone wall, so that her feet could step on the two fulcrums at the bottom.
After she had stabilized, she continued to climb upwards, choosing a suitable place to serve as a fulcrum according to the shape of the stone wall, nailing a flat awl or a spiral awl into about half a meter, and so on......
Tang Xin climbed higher and higher, getting farther and farther away from the water, and gradually, Shui Ling'er, who was looking up at her on the water, had become a small lump.
The higher you go, the harder it becomes.
This is due to the large curvature of the cave, and even though this side is already the most vertical, there is still a part of the stone wall that is almost parallel to the ground when you climb to the opening at the top of the cave.
Even the most professional climbers may not be able to cross this parallel area 100 percent, because when climbing, the weight of the whole body is borne by the hands and the feet are suspended in the air, and people who are not very muscular in the arms simply cannot hold it for long, let alone about 3 meters or so.
In addition, this is not a rock climbing prop in the training ground, but a real freehand climbing, except for the smooth surface of the stone wall, there is no bulge, she needs to hang in the air, hit the fulcrum into the stone wall, and then be able to grasp the fulcrum and move forward.
