Hearing Li Zhenzhen's sudden shout, Zhao Zheng was not only not surprised, but laughed, he thought that Li Zhenzhen must have deliberately scared himself, so he didn't take it seriously. He was not surprised, Li Zhenzhen continued to shout, and there was an increasingly violent posture, and his fingers shook and pointed to the feet behind him.

"Lady Li, don't scream, I won't be fooled even if you scream and cut your throat." Zhao Zheng smiled.

"Corpses, corpses! There's a corpse behind you! Li Zhenzhen said in a trembling voice.

"I'm a fool if I believe you."

"If you don't believe it, see for yourself!" Li Zhenzhen almost cried, and wanted to retreat a little, but she didn't want to leave the only light source in the secret passage.

"I'll turn back, but not because I believe your lies, but because I want to keep going, so I have to turn back." Zhao Zheng still didn't believe Li Zhenzhen's words, turned around with a smile, set his eyes on the front of the secret passage, and was stunned at the first glance!

It turns out that Li Zhenzhen is not lying!

Under the light of the candlelight, the outline of a corpse appeared on the ground in front of him, the deceased had been dead for a long time, ** completely decomposed, only a layer of clothing and pale bones remained, the skull of the corpse was looking diagonally to this side, and the two eye sockets were deep and dark, as if there was still life. Farther away, there were several other corpses, but they were not very visible.

Zhao Zheng gasped and took a few steps back in a row, until he hit Li Zhenzhen, he didn't expect that what Li Zhenzhen said was true, there was really a corpse here!

"Big fool, do you believe this?" Li Zhenzhen said angrily.

"Yes." Zhao Zheng nodded dryly, his heart fluctuating.

"Whose are those corpses?" Li Zhenzhen pointed to the corpse in front of her and asked in a trembling voice.

Zhao Zheng also felt that he was in a fog and had no clue, so he shook his head a few times.

"No wonder I felt very stinky as soon as I entered this secret passage, it turned out that there were dead people here, and there was more than one." Li Zhenzhen said and pulled out the fire spirit sword, and the sword body shook several red rays by candlelight.

"They are all dead, what are you doing with your sword?" Zhao Zheng looked at the fire spirit sword with red light and asked with a frown.

"I'm a little scared when I draw my sword."

"If you're scared, stay here and don't move, I'll go ahead and take a look myself, maybe I can find some clues from the corpse." Zhao Zhengdao.

"Well, there you go. Remember to be careful. Li Zhenzhen nodded like pounding garlic, holding the fire spirit sword tightly with both hands, completely losing the chivalrous majesty of the rì.

Zhao Zheng held a candle and walked towards the corpse step by step. He had just killed someone a few years ago, and his heart had already undergone a subtle change, and he was much more courageous than before, and a few corpses could not scare him, unless the corpses would come back to life.

The closer you get to the corpses, the stronger the stench becomes. As the flames approached, the corpses in the distance were also illuminated, and there were as many as five as far as the eye could see. The corpses were in various poses, looking chaotic and irregular.

Zhao Zheng walked to the nearest corpse, slowly leaned down, and took a closer look.

Judging from the appearance of the corpse, there are still some rotten flesh attached to the skeleton and not completely rotten, and there are some small bugs crawling back and forth in the flesh, these bugs are more creepy than the corpse itself. The corpse was dressed in ordinary clothes, just coarse cloth clothes, and did not look like a rich man. The clothes are very well preserved and show no signs of weathering, which shows that the deceased did not die very long, probably within a year or two.

Zhao Zheng began to inspect the corpse's head, moving it down a little bit, not letting go of any details, and when his eyes fell on the corpse's lower abdomen, he found a neat damage, which looked like it should have been caused by a sharp weapon piercing and then quickly pulling out. Beneath the torn part of the garment, there is a clear deep stain, which should be bloodstains.

He stared at the break, making up in his mind what had happened in the past.

A warrior stabbed the sword into the deceased's lower abdomen, and then pulled it out in an instant, and the deceased fell to the ground in agony, and soon lost his breath and became a corpse.

Zhao Zheng's brows furrowed and he stopped imagining. He walked to the next corpse with a candle in his hand, and upon observation, he found that this corpse had a lot in common with the first corpse, also wearing coarse cloth clothes, and his body was seriously injured with a weapon. He walked on, as was the case with several corpses. He was reluctant to touch the corpses, unable to find any more clues.

The corpse that appeared in the secret passage slightly disrupted Zhao Zheng's position.

There shouldn't have been these corpses in the game's mission, but since there is a discrepancy with the game data, the game data can no longer be fully trusted, and can only be used as a reference to re-investigate.

Was this secret passage dug by those members?

Who are these bodies? And why did he die?

Why would anyone leave a body here?

All kinds of questions came one after another, impacting Zhao Zheng's thoughts like cháo water, making him more and more confused the more he thought about it.

He didn't have a clue, returned to Li Zhenzhen's side with a calm face, and explained: "There are five corpses in total, and they have not been dead for a long time, and they were all killed by martial artists with sharp weapons. The deceased probably didn't know martial arts, there was no sign of resistance on their bodies, and they were all poor, and their clothes were all coarse cloth. ”

"Could these dead have anything to do with those three outsiders?" Li Zhenzhen asked.

Zhao Zheng fell silent, now there is an abnormal situation, he can no longer fully believe in the game information, thinking of this, he shook his head and said: "I can't be sure, anyway, let's go ahead and see, find out the situation first, and then make plans." ”

"I—I'm a little afraid to go forward." Li Zhenzhen has never dared to look at a few corpses, and her face has become a little pale, and it seems that she is indeed frightened. Although she is more capable than Zhao Zheng, she is still a fifteen-year-old girl after all.

"That's fine, I'll accompany you back to the top first, and wait until it's the dead of night, and the two of us will come back. When the time comes, you will take care of the wind for me, and I will come down alone to explore the way. Zhao Zheng decided.

"Can you do it alone?"

"It's worse for the two of us to stay together and quarrel, and it's not as convenient as it for me to act alone."

"You scared me first today, no wonder I am." Li Zhenzhen shirked.

"Okay, okay, blame me today, I scared you. Alright, let's go back first. Wait until the evening to come back. ”

Li Zhenzhen answered and turned back.

Zhao Zheng was bold and walked behind the back hall, letting Li Zhenzhen walk in front.

Li Zhenzhen looked back at Zhao Zheng from time to time, and saw that Zhao Zheng was really behind him, so he dared to continue to move forward. The two quickly returned to the bottom of the dry well, and then climbed up the rope. There were still no pedestrians around the dry well, it was very quiet, and the two untied the rope and left the place in a hurry.

After returning to the compound, the two went back to their rooms to change their clothes, wash up, and get rid of the bad luck on their bodies.

Zhao Zheng folded the dirty clothes, put them on the chair, and left them to wear at night. At this time, Li Zhenzhen knocked on the door, holding a dinner plate in her hand, holding a teapot and a teacup on the plate, claiming to continue to talk to him about the secret passage.

The two sat down facing each other, each with a steaming cup of tea in front of them. One teacup reflects Zhao Zheng's constricted brows, and the other reflects the pink sè face towel worn by Li Zhenzhen's face.

"Who are the dead?" Zhao Zheng muttered, picked up the teacup, and took a sip.

"I guess those people may have been digging the tunnel, they dug the tunnel to escape, but they were discovered by the outside men, so they were killed. The clothes worn by the corpses were coarse cloth, which matched the identity of the workers. Li Zhenzhen said her guess excitedly. The terrifying scene in the secret passage has long been thrown out of the clouds by her.

Zhao Zheng tasted the fragrant tea in his mouth, letting the bitter taste spread on the tip of his tongue. If it is assumed that this secret passage was indeed dug by the three outsiders, then Li Zhenzhen's guess is quite reasonable.

"It's a possibility. After the three men killed the workers who tried to escape, Suo Xìng left the workers in the secret passage and sealed the ends with earth. Zhao Zheng speculated further and put down the teacup in his hand.

"That's right, that's right." Li Zhenzhen agreed, but thought of a new question and frowned, "But...... Now that all these workers have been killed, why do you overhear about this secret passage from others? Could it be that someone else leaked this secret? ”

"Maybe only one of the workers escaped, and the rest didn't make it." Zhao was embarrassed and lied.

"How did you hear this in the first place, tell me about it, maybe I can find any clues." Li Zhenzhen said with great interest.

Zhao Zheng made up some nonsense, lying that he was passing by a small alley while begging, and overheard two people talking about this underground secret passage, and said that one of them had calluses on his hands, and that Bacheng was one of the workers. Li Zhenzhen was simple-minded, listened to his words, and did not doubt.

After Zhao Zheng finished speaking, he drank tea again.

Li Zhenzhenyu put her hand on her cheek and said depressedly: "There are no important clues in your words." ”

"I've told you all the clues, and now the two of us know as much as we do." After Zhao Zheng finished speaking, he put down the teacup and got up and said, "Okay, these problems can't be thought of just by thinking, and when it comes to the evening, I will go to the dry well to explore again and learn more about the situation." ”

The two left the house and found a tavern to eat, and when night fell, they took all the tools to the dry well in the south of the city.

Li Zhenzhen stayed near the dry well to let out the wind, looking left and right. Zhao Zheng was wearing dirty clothes, holding a candle in his mouth and carrying a shovel on his back, and climbed down the rope.

The second time he came to the secret passage under the dry well, Zhao Zheng bent down and walked in with a bumpy and restless walk.
