Corpse Chaser!

Is there really a corpse catcher in modern times?

The four of them all had such a thought in their minds, and although they didn't believe it, the strange man who didn't even fall with a few arrows before seemed to have proved it.

"I still have the same old saying, I believe that some things in this world are inexplicable, and I believe that all things are animist, but so far, all the seemingly bizarre and unexplained things that have happened to me are man-made." After the torture technique finished speaking, he raised his hand and pointed ahead, "So, we must find out if there is a corpse catcher here, if so, why is he here, what he lives on, and most importantly, find out what that immortal guy is." ”

Yan Gang and Tan Tong nodded, Samuchuan was still stunned, and Tan Tong immediately said, "What are you still stunned?" Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, and I know that you weren't sent by the Weasel, I'm relieved anyway, otherwise I'd have followed the name of a spy on my back. ”

Saying that, Tan Tong deliberately glanced at Yan Gang, and Yan Gang immediately said: "I'm sorry, it's me who thought too much, don't care, just treat me as nonsense." ”

Tan Tong patted Yan Gang on the shoulder: "It's okay, when I go back to buy a car, you give me some car interiors, what kind of mats, car purifiers, dash cams or something, anyway, you are also sorry for Samuchuan, originally he was going to give it to me, you bought his share, it's so decided!" ”

"Eh-" Yan Gang was stunned, "Why do you want me to buy it?" ”

Tan Tong grinned and said, "Don't you want to make amends?" Then show some sincerity! ”

When the two of them were in the middle of the riverbed, a wail came from the back end of the plane wreckage, and the wail echoed in the man-made cave, so that the four of them immediately stopped all movements, and their whole bodies froze there, not daring to move.

After a while, just as the torture technique had taken a step forward, there was another wail from behind the wreckage, which was even worse and louder than the previous one......

The wail came out from the hole at the top of the wreckage, echoing in the labyrinth, whether it was Yuan Zhenba, He Chenxue, Fan Meng, and Xu You, who were still in the labyrinth, or Bai Zhongzheng, who had already walked out of the maze and stood on the edge of the deep pool, they all heard it clearly.

"What sound?" Fan Meng looked in the direction where the voice came from, and then at Xu You, "Do you know what that sound is?" ”

Xu You shook his head slightly: "I don't know, I only know that there is a hole in the location where the sound came from, and the hole was hit out by a Japanese reconnaissance plane during World War II, and the hole is connected with the underground cave, and there is an underground river in the cave." ”

Fan Meng was stunned: "What? There's a cave down there? ”

Xu nodded: "Yes, the labyrinth we are standing on now is built on the basis of the underground river, in other words, the underground river below is an ordinary river, someone has re-paved the ground above the river, and then built this labyrinth, and the birthplace of the Jade Casting Society you have been looking for is here." ”

Fan Meng looked around: "Here? Where? Ground floor? ”

"Nope." Xu You shook his head and pointed to his feet, "This is the labyrinth where your feet stand, this is Jiacuo Fort!" ”

The surprised Fan Meng kept looking at Xu You, and he didn't react for a long time to understand what was going on.

As the sun sets, the red sun moves slowly along the ridge, and in a few moments, the fiery red celestial body will leave with light, leaving darkness over the world once more.

Yuan Zhenba and He Chenxue, who were on the other side, were also stunned by the wail, He Chenxue subconsciously approached the stone pillar behind, and not long ago, Yuan Zhenba, who found that the words on the stone pillar were strange, also subconsciously turned around, looked in the direction where the voice came from, and whispered to himself: "What is that?" ”

He Chenxue said: "Maybe someone is injured?" ”

"Sounds like it, but ......," Yuan Zhenba said and stopped, shook his head and said, "But how can it be so miserable?" ”

He Chenxue nodded slightly, turned her head and continued to look at Yuan Zhenba's hand that removed the vegetation on the surface of the stone pillar, and asked, "What are you looking for?" ”

Yuan Zhenba turned his head again to look at the symbols on the stone pillar, raised the magnifying glass and said: "These so-called mysterious symbols are actually just deliberately stretched Chinese characters, if you change the angle and tilt your head to look at it, you can clearly see it, your eyes are more peculiar, you only need to tilt your head slightly, you don't need a magnifying glass to see clearly, if you want to see, just hurry up, because as soon as the sun sets, you can't see anything." ”

He Chenxue nodded, and while following Yuan Zhenba's instructions, she asked, "What should we do after dark?" ”

Yuan Zhenba shook his head: "I don't know, the worst plan is that you sleep, I will guard, carry it until dawn, I dare not say anything else, but I believe that the torture will definitely come to save us." ”

When He Chenxue heard the word "torture", her brows furrowed slightly, she didn't say anything, but looked carefully, and then began to chant the words, looking at it, He Chenxue suddenly fell silent, and raised a hand to touch her mouth, with a surprised expression.

Yuan Zhenba on one side looked at her appearance and immediately asked, "What did you find?" ”

"This ......" He Chenxue pointed to the text on it, "The text records on this are all methods of selecting and making jade, and they are all traditional ancient methods, many of which are methods of casting jade that will not be passed on, etc., should this not be ......?"

Yuan Zhenba is so smart, after he heard He Chenxue say this, he immediately understood, subconsciously looked around, and then said: "This should be Jiacuo Fort, as long as you get out of this labyrinth, you should be able to reach Jiacuo Palace, the Xuan family of the Jade Casting Society did not enter the Jiacuo Palace, but only came to the Jiacuo Fort, the reason is that the Jiacuo Fort is a labyrinth, and it can't be easily passed, so it stops when you get here, but the Xuan family is so smart, they should be able to crack this labyrinth, I think, It should be the records on these stone pillars that really made them stop and stop moving forward. ”

The records on the stone pillar, for the Xuan family back then, are like the Lang Huan blessed land of Wuliang Mountain in Dali in Jin Yong's "Tianlong Babu", which collects the world's martial arts secrets, once the martial arts practitioners come here, they will stay permanently, even after the Lang Huan blessed land, there is a more mysterious place.

He Chenxue also agreed with Yuan Zhenba's analysis, and she also seemed very excited at this time, and after being excited for a while, she found that the sky had darkened, and the idea of fear came back to her mind.

Yuan Zhenba saw that He Chenxue's face changed, and immediately turned on the flashlight, and the moment he turned it on, he found that a fire was burning somewhere in front of him, and he couldn't help but immediately shouted: "We are here!" Feed! Come on! We're here! ”

Yuan Zhenba said, grabbed He Chenxue, and was about to run there, but after running two steps, Yuan Zhenba stopped again, because he came from that direction at the earliest, and when he came, he was almost plotted by the agency four or five times, and at this time it was already dark, and he was still with He Chenxue by his side, so he couldn't take risks.

"Forget it, let's wait until dawn." Yuan Zhenba took a deep breath and took He Chenxue back to his place, "Believe in torture, he will definitely be able to save us." ”

He Chenxue didn't say anything, just sat there and didn't say a word.

In the middle of the labyrinth, Xu You had already taken Fan Meng to the hole where the plane wreckage was smashed, and when Fan Meng was in a hurry to go down, Xu You stopped him and asked: "The voice that shouted us before should be Yuan Zhenba, he must have seen the light of the burning rod in our hands, and he should be with He Chenxue now, I can go back to save them." ”

Fan Meng looked at the hole, but asked, "Xu You, you are very familiar with the terrain here, what is going on?" Who told you that? Have you been here before? Now that you know, why don't you go ahead of us? ”

Xu You stared at Fan Meng, or asked: "I ask you, I, do you want to go back and save them?" ”

Fan Meng frowned: "You answer me first." ”

Xu You's face slowly sank, and his tone immediately became cold: "The surname Fan, listen, I have a cooperative relationship with you, that is to say, during the cooperation, our status is equal, if you understand, I can make it clear again, that is, you can't command me, otherwise, you won't live for ten seconds." ”

Fan Meng gritted his teeth and asked coldly: "I just want you to answer my question, since they are allies, then they should share resources, right?" ”

"Ten, nine, eight, seven......" Xu You stared at Fan Meng's eyes and began to count down, and when he counted down to "three", Fan Meng shook his head slightly.

Xu You stopped counting down: "Don't save?" ”

Fan Meng smiled: "Why save? Do you give me a reason to save? It's not good for us to save them, Yuan Zhenba is too smart, saving him is equivalent to one more enemy, He Chenxue is completely useless, and staying will become an obstacle between me and Yuejia. ”

Xu You smiled, laughing from ear to ear, and then raised his hand and patted Fan Meng's face: "You are really a person who does great things, you are ruthless enough." ”

Fan Meng sneered, and when he wanted to raise his hand to pull Xu You's hand away, Xu You suddenly raised his hand and slapped it hard, directly beating Fan Meng to the point that his eyes were full of stars, and his brain was dazed, he suddenly turned his head and glared at Xu You, and found that Xu You still had the same expression as before: "In addition to being ruthless enough, you are also shameless enough, in addition, you are stupid enough." ”

Saying that, Xu You directly kicked Fan Meng into the hole, and he turned his head to look in the direction of Yuan Zhenba and He Chenxue: "Wait, if the torture technique is too late to come back to save you, I will also come back." ”

After speaking, Xu You jumped down.

When the two jumped, the four of them had already gone away, and they had been following the strange man towards the source of the underground river, and the four wails of the strange man before were all because of the sound he made when he pulled out the four crossbow arrows, and when the torture technique bypassed the wreckage, when he stepped on the edge of the riverbed, he stepped on one of the arrows, and then crouched down, adjusted the flashlight to the weakest light, and after careful search, found three more.

The torture technique fell into doubt, thinking it was too strange, that thing did not let out a wail when it was hit by an arrow, but instead cried out in pain when it pulled out the arrow, what was going on?

But time did not allow him to think too much, because the strange man had already begun to go back, perhaps summoned by the so-called corpse chaser? Maybe by following the weirdos now, you'll be able to figure out what's going on.

So, the four quickened their pace and quickly chased after each side of the riverbed, but kept a certain distance from the strange man, fearing that the strange man would hear any movement.

In the labyrinth above, only Yuan Zhenba and He Chenxue, who were still here, looked at the extremely small bonfires in front of them in a daze, it was not easy to light these bonfires, because there were very few dry firewood branches and other things that could be burned around, most of them were brought in from the outside world when it was windy and rainy, so they could only save a little, it would be good to have firelight, firstly, it could prevent the invasion of wild beasts, and secondly, it could let the people who came to rescue them see the location clearly.

Although Yuan Zhenba was very tired, he knew that he couldn't sleep, if he slept through, it would definitely be impossible for a weak woman like He Chenxue to be on duty at night, once something happened, both of them would die, so he held on and comforted He Chenxue and said: "It's okay, don't worry, the torture will definitely come to save us." ”

He Chenxue was still silent, Yuan Zhenba glanced at her, and asked, "It's strange to say, if I were a woman, I would definitely choose criminal art instead of Fan Meng, you are quite different." ”

He Chenxue looked at the bonfire: "If you were me, you would also choose Fan Meng." ”

"I know, Fan Meng is your first love, but this person ......" Yuan Zhenba shook his head, "I can only say that this person is not suitable for you, but it is suitable for your sister He Yuejia." ”

He Chenxue raised her eyes: "Why?" ”

Yuan Zhen said: "Your sister is not as simple as you. ”

He Chenxue knew that Yuan Zhenba's words actually wanted to say that He Yuejia and Fan Meng belonged to the same hill, so she asked, "What about the torture technique?" On the contrary, I think that the art of torture is much more terrifying than Fan Meng in some cases, some things in Fan Meng are on the surface, and he is hidden, and I don't like to be with someone who likes to hide himself. ”

Yuan Zhenba took a deep breath: "Miss He, give an inappropriate but illustrative example, for example, you raised a wolf dog, raised from childhood to adulthood, the wolf dog is very docile to you, very cute in front of you, but one day the wolf dog will grow up, no, it should be said, even if you don't grow up, when you, the owner, are attacked, the wolf dog will come forward to protect you, at this time, the wolf dog will give up the cute side and put on a fierce expression, because if it doesn't do this, it can't protect you." ”

He Chenxue smiled bitterly: "However, the person of torture, you will never be able to fathom it, even if he is extremely angry in his heart, his expression and behavior may be very indifferent, and when you are affectionate with him and look at each other, you may be nervous and excited in your heart, but he is analyzing and judging in his heart, what I need is a man of flesh and blood, not a thinking machine." ”

Yuan Zhenba nodded: "I know, I understand, but you don't know, and you don't understand." ”

"What?" He Chenxue looked at Yuan Zhenba with a puzzled expression, "You have something to say." ”

Yuan Zhenba threw a branch into the bonfire, and the branch was immediately burned, and then he said: "What you want to find is an ordinary man who can speak sweet words, coax you, and worship you as a goddess, but first, you don't understand what kind of person torture is, and second, you don't know that you yourself are not ordinary." ”

He Chenxue said lightly: "The reason why I'm not ordinary is because I'm half-blind?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Yuan Zhenba suddenly thought of something, he remembered that he had checked the words on the stone pillar before, even with a magnifying glass, it was so difficult, and He Chenxue only needed to get close to see it clearly, and besides, Xu You had said before that Fan Meng didn't understand He Chenxue's value......

Perhaps, the reason why the secret in the Jiacuo Hall has not been discovered is because of the relationship between the green pupils? Yuan Zhenba fell into deep thought, thinking about it and couldn't help but get excited, and subconsciously muttered in a low voice: "Fan Meng, you are really stupid enough." ”

However, at the same time, when Yuan Zhenba connected everything, he deduced an extremely terrible answer, the moment this answer popped out of his mind, he stood up suddenly, felt the satellite phone in his hand, and after squeezing it, he felt that the evidence was not sufficient, so he had to put it down again.

Yuan Zhenba's series of strange actions made He Chenxue feel very strange, but she didn't ask again, after all, she couldn't figure out what she was pursuing now.

Deep in the bed of the underground river, the strange man was dragging the thick iron chain slowly, going around one pillar after another, and the river was also deep and shallow, but the strange man's pace was steady. The torture technique that kept a certain distance behind him judged that this strange man should not be the walking dead without thoughts, and this could be judged by the way he walked alone.

The weirdo is supposed to be patrolling the wreckage of the plane and his location at the behest of the so-called corpse catcher, killing the "ingress" if he finds any disturbances.

However, as they got closer and closer to the source, and could clearly hear the sound of rushing water from there, the torturer was surprised to find that the strange man stepped into the knee-deep water, slowly walked towards the underground waterfall less than seven or eight meters in front of him, and then walked through the waterfall, opened the small door inside, and walked in.

"Underground waterfalls?" Yan Gang looked hard ahead with half-squinted eyes, "So, the water from the underground river still flows down from above?" ”

The torture technique listened carefully, and then said, "Listen carefully, the sound of the waterfall is not quite right. ”

After listening carefully, Samuchuan nodded in agreement, and Tan Tong asked on the side, "What do you mean?" ”

"If you guess correctly, there is a waterfall on the ground, and the sound of the waterfall smashing against the water is not singular, maybe, the exit of the maze is above our heads." ”

Tan Tong smiled: "Hope, this is hope, let's go, go through that door and see what is inside!" ”

Yan Gang raised his hand and motioned for everyone not to move: "I'll go and see first, it's better to take risks alone than four people." ”

Xingshu shook his head: "No, it's too dangerous, you also saw that monster, it's so powerful that you can't even shoot a crossbow." ”

"As I said, it's better to risk one person than to kill four." Yan Gang took off his backpack and handed it to the torture technique, "A person's target will be much smaller, believe me, I have more experience than you in similar infiltration missions." ”

The torture technique had to agree, Yan Gang grabbed the two daggers and held them tightly in his hands, slowly went into the water, and walked towards the door in the waterfall that did not open, Samuchuan raised the crossbow and stared ahead, and the torture technique leaned behind Tan Tong, Tan Tong stared behind him with the mountain opening knife, worried that something else would suddenly appear behind him.
