Holding the torch high, Yuan Hong led the frightened Liang Yun'er to continue walking towards the depths of the cave.

Because the cave was so quiet, he could easily hear everything around him, including the "tick-tock" sound of water. From time to time, there was a "squeak" sound of rats fighting with each other, which repeatedly made Liang Yun'er shiver.

"Senior brother, it's too gloomy here, I'm so scared, let's go back. Liang Yun'er grabbed the corner of Yuan Hong's clothes and stopped.

"Hey, I'm here, what are you afraid of! Even if the female ghost comes, I can let her take maternity leave, but I'm afraid she won't dare to come." Yuan Hong patted her head lightly, trying to dispel her fear.

"What if it's a male ghost?" Liang Yun'er still stopped, and her facial expression changed from fear to unconvinced.

"Male ghost, I will cleanse him and make him fall to his knees and shout long live. ”

"It's disgusting, senior brother, don't talk about it. I'll go inside with you. ”

Yuan Hong was going to help her correct her mistakes, but after thinking about it, she felt that it was not necessary, after all, the subjects in the Holy English Continent never shouted long live, and if she corrected it, it would also be playing the harp to the cow.

The two continued to walk in, walking and walking, and Yuan Hong found that his left foot had stepped on something hard again. With a torch, another skeleton came into his eyes.

He crouched down and examined it carefully. Liang Yun'er also squatted down together.

"Senior brother, have you noticed, there are two shallow indentations on this skull, and the two indentations are still intertwined. ”

As for the details of what Liang Yun'er said, Yuan Hong had already found out. He didn't speak, just nodded in response. Pinching his chin with his fingers, he fell into deep thought.

Liang Yun'er also stopped talking, and continued to look at the yellowed skull, thoughtful.

The two of them were silent together for a long time, and suddenly, Liang Yun'er pointed in the direction of the cave entrance and said slowly: "Could it be that two people used sharp weapons to kill each other in order to compete for property?" I have already discovered just now that there are also two intertwined indentations on the skull in front of me, but they are not as obvious as the one in front of me. ”

Taking a long breath, Yuan Hong said slowly: "On the surface, it seems that there is such a possibility. But when I think about it, I feel that there is a big problem in this. If two people beat each other to death with sharp weapons, it is impossible not to find those sharp weapons nearby. Besides, the two scars on the deceased's skull were perfectly crossed, and both of them were like this, which was too much of a coincidence. ”

Hearing this, Liang Yun'er nodded slightly, and cast her eager gaze on Yuan Hong, waiting for his answer.

Yuan Hong held the head skull with his left hand, and kept gesturing with the index finger and thumb of his right hand on the two scars. After a long time, he turned his head to Liang Yun'er and said unhurriedly: "Actually, those scars are not the indentations of the utensils, but the pinching marks of the fingers. ”

Liang Yun'er's face was full of doubts after hearing this, and she said that she didn't believe that her fingers could leave a pinch mark on the top of her skull.

Yuan Hong smiled and told her that although ordinary people can't do it, people with a certain amount of cultivation can. He also told her that the frontal bones of these two people were more prominent than ordinary people, and that was because they often practiced the lower glabellar chakra to be more open.

After a little bit of his dialing, Liang Yuner finally accepted the statement that the scar was a choke mark. She nodded and said, "So it seems that two people strangled each other to death in order to compete for benefits. ”

Shaking his head, Yuan Hong said: "If two people want to strangle each other, pinching the throat is obviously easier to kill with one blow than pinching the top of the skull." Besides, if two people die together, their remains should be next to each other, how can they be separated by seven or eight feet?"

After a pause, he continued, "I'm sure you've noticed that these two skulls, one orange-yellow and the other light-yellow, indicate that they died at least three years apart. This further indicates that the pinch marks on the top of their skulls were not left by the other party. ”

Liang Yun'er looked a little stunned, and said dumbfounded: "Do you want to say that there is a more powerful third person here who strangled them?"

Yuan Hong smiled slightly: "I don't think so. If a third person breaks in and kills the first deceased, will he stay here for more than three years to kill the second deceased? Obviously not!"

Glancing at the red flames on the torches, Yuan Hong continued, "Of course, you might suspect that a fourth person broke in and killed the second deceased many years later. However, it seems unlikely to me that the two intruders would not have been so coincidental and killed the two dead in the same botched way. ”

After hearing this, Liang Yun'er buried her head deeply, muttered for a long time, and suddenly said, "They shouldn't strangle themselves, right?"

With a thumbs up, Yuan Hong said excitedly: "Senior sister has finally found the right direction." Yes, I also think they all died under their own fingers. ”

Liang Yun'er just smoothed the way and was taken into the pit again, she really didn't understand why the person who risked his life to seek wealth committed suicide.

Knowing Liang Yun'er's doubts, Yuan Hong closed his eyes slightly and fell into deep thought again: That's right, why do people who risk their lives to seek wealth commit suicide? Could it be that their suicide was not willing? Or is it that their consciousness has been manipulated, but there are "people" who kill people with the help of their hands?

Opening his eyes, Yuan Hong glanced at the skull beside him again, and secretly wondered: Why did the two deceased only leave the skull, where did the bones of the other parts go?

Just as Yuan Hong was thinking hard, he suddenly found that in the depths of the incomparably darkness, there was a pair of round eyes looking at him. He couldn't see anything but those translucent red eyes.

Just as he was about to perform a magnifying move on those unusually terrifying red eyes, the red eyes suddenly disappeared.

Liang Yun'er seemed to have noticed all this, her arms were hanging in the air, shaking non-stop, and even her facial muscles began to tremble.

Yuan Hong regretted taking her into the cave, not to mention her at this time, even he was a little afraid. After all, I am still young and have not yet experienced the fun of burrowing, so it would be a pity if I died in a cave like this.

However, he had already gone more than ten feet away, and if he walked out empty-handed like this, he was really a little unwilling. Furthermore, as is commonly said, the wisest choice in the face of unclean things is not to look back, so as not to extinguish the yang fire on your shoulders.

In desperation, he had no choice but to stay where he was for the time being, and took Liang Yun'er into his arms, so he comforted her.

For a long time, Liang Yun'er no longer trembled. However, she was not willing to go any further. There was really no better choice, Yuan Hong handed her the torch and let her retreat out of the cave step by step. And he himself stood still, guarding against a sudden attack from the shadows.
