Early the next morning, the middle-aged man woke up from his coma and regained consciousness.

However, he was still very weak, so hungry that he didn't even have the strength to speak, Li Mian went to the sanatorium again, and took some food and water that Mo Haoxuan and the others abandoned there.

After smelling the food, the middle-aged man's eyes almost flashed green, and he swallowed it in his hand.

"How long has this guy been hungry...... It's too cruel to eat. ”

Mo Haoxuan looked at the middle-aged man gobbling up, and his face twitched slightly.

The refugees fleeing the famine in film and television dramas can't play to this extent.

"It's only three or four days at most, and he won't wake up so easily in a few more days."

Xiang Xuemin said on the side.

He remembered where he had read that humans would hang up as long as they didn't eat or drink water, except for some special cases of opening and hanging, of course.

"Hey, why hasn't Du Bingqing come out yet, doesn't she want to eat?"

Wei Wen suddenly felt a little strange, Du Yujie had come out, why did Du Bingqing stay in the room all the time.

She was so scared last night that she slept in the same room with her cousin Mo Haoxuan, of course, Mo Haoxuan and Xiang Xuemin slept on the ground and gave her the bed.

Hearing Wei Wen's words, a blush flashed on Du Yujie's face.

She secretly glanced at Li Mourning, who looked calm, and said, "My sister, she was so scared last night...... I have some insomnia, and I don't know when I fell asleep, but now I'm sleeping deeply. ”

The others didn't notice the strangeness in her tone, only Wei Wen, who was also a girl, was more sensitive and glanced at Li Mourning thoughtfully.

"No wonder, I didn't sleep well last night."

Xiang Xuemin sighed, and the two dark circles under his eyes were unusually obvious.

He had nightmares almost all night, and when he closed his eyes, he would dream that several of his companions were chasing him with blood, and he didn't sleep well all night.

While the group was eating and chatting, the middle-aged man quickly ate three loaves of bread and a bottle of water, and then lay there motionless.

Obviously, I was hungry for too long and ate too fast, and I was a little overwhelmed for a while.

Li Mian saw it in his eyes and said to a few people: "You guys go out first, I have something to ask him." ”

They were a little curious, but they didn't ask much and left the room.

The room quickly fell silent.

"Are you alright?" Li Mian took a small stool and sat on the edge of the bed.

The middle-aged man opened his mouth for a long time before he spoke: "You...... Who is it? ”

Although he temporarily filled his stomach, he still had no strength to speak, and his voice was a little hoarse.

"The one who rescued you."

Li Mian picked up another bottle of water, unscrewed the cap and handed it to him.

"Get me out?" The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, and then seemed to remember something, and suddenly turned his head to look around.

"I didn't think I'd be able to come out of that hell place alive......"

With a wry smile and amazement on his face, there was no surprise or excitement of escaping death.

"What did you encounter in there?" Li Mian did not ask the name and identity of the person, which was of no use to him.

He just wanted to know what happened to the middle-aged man in the tomb.

Now it seems that this person obviously remembers some of the circumstances at that time, unlike Xiang Xuemin who didn't know anything as soon as he closed his eyes.

After hesitating for a moment, the middle-aged man said, "I don't know what I encountered, it's too dark inside to see anything clearly, only some vague black shadows...... But I can assure you that those dark shadows are not human ......"

In fact, his situation is similar to that of Xiang Xuemin, he encountered some unexplained strange things when he was above, and then he was put into the tomb in a coma.

But he was not as lucky as Xuemin, he was rescued as soon as he had an accident, and he woke up several times intermittently after being hung on a rope.

“…… The shadows hung us on the ropes and then seemed to kill someone every other day...... Instead of killing us simply and roughly, we cut our veins and let the blood flow out on its own, dripping little by little into the pool below......"

The middle-aged man's face was pale, recalling what he saw at the time.

“…… Then I woke up again, and saw a man who had been taken off the wire by those black shadows, and he didn't react at all, he was supposed to be dead......

In the blur, I saw that the black shadows had divided the man into several pieces, and in the process of dividing them, they were chanting some strange sounds, and then the divided bodies were put into the pool below......"

Li Mian frowned and said, "How does it sound like an evil ritual?" ”

Those black shadows that look like people should be yin corpses, and they are indeed no different from ordinary people in the dark, but they have a strong smell on their bodies.

The floating objects in the pool water that I saw at that time should have been the severed limbs of the victims who were dismembered.

But he didn't understand why those Yin corpses followed such complicated steps to kill, which was really very strange.

"You're right, it does look like some kind of evil ritual." The middle-aged man nodded, "I think it's more like a living sacrifice, but the sacrifice used by those black shadows is not pigs and sheep, but living people." ”

Li Mian was silent.

The middle-aged man is right, it is indeed very much like a life sacrifice.

The custom of sacrificial sacrifice was very common in the past, but with the development of the times and the progress of thought, this relatively barbaric and bloody way of sacrificing has gradually been eliminated.

Even so, this form of sacrifice is still preserved in some remote parts of the empire today.

But human beings are sacrificing to gods or ancestors, what are those yin corpses sacrificing?

"Do you know a person named Wang Shitang?" Li Mian couldn't figure out what was going on for a while, so he first asked about his cousin.

"Lao Wang?" The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, "Who are you?" ”

Seeing his reaction, Li Mian knew that he hadn't run in vain.

This middle-aged man is obviously in the same group as Wang Shitang.

"I'm his nephew." Li Mian said: "His mobile phone has not been able to get through four days ago, and I came to him on purpose. ”

"I see......"

The middle-aged man was suddenly stunned.

Then he showed a wry smile and said, "Lao Wang's situation is not very optimistic, you have to be mentally prepared." ”

"What's wrong with him?" Li Mian couldn't help frowning.

Wang Shitang wouldn't have been killed, would he?

Just when he felt something bad in his heart, he heard an unexpected answer.

"There's something wrong with him here." The middle-aged man pointed to his head, "We have no choice but to send him to the Fourth Courtyard of Zongyang City." ”

The Fourth Hospital of Zongyang City, also known as the Psychiatric Hospital.
