Chapter 350: The Square
The strange cold wind blew down the cracked door behind me, and I couldn't help but gasp, and then, with my intuition, I turned the porcelain bottle with my hand little by little.
At first, it was a bit of a struggle, but then the bottle actually shook on its own.
With the crisp sound of the mechanism turning, it creaked in his ears, and even Suchak, who was lying on a stool and was dying, noticed the movement and turned his head to look at the corner.
I looked at it, and sure enough, I noticed a black iron door quietly opening in the corner.
It's just that no matter how hard he tries, the iron gate has never moved.
I was a little impatient, wondering if it was because of the time that had caused the mechanism inside to rust.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a gap suddenly opened in the corner of the wall overhead, and two gun-like barrels slowly poked out.
When I looked up and saw it, I almost broke down.
This is obviously a mechanism to deal with outsiders, and if you can't find the correct way to open the secret door, the muzzle of the gun above your head will instantly beat the door opener into a sieve.
It's just that I don't know if the bullets in the mechanism can still fire normally after so many years.
I stood there and couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from my forehead with my hand, looked at the dark secret door in front of me, and suddenly saw a round keyhole above the iron door.
Seems to be used to insert keys.
Seeing this discovery, I retreated little by little according to the original footprints, thinking about how to open this iron door.
Looking at the several corpses hanging upside down in front of him, Suchak next to him suddenly made an extremely strange move.
With great effort, he moved his right arm, which he could barely raise, picked up a stone from the table, threw it at the corpse, and threw it at the corpse.
I saw that he seemed to want to say something, and hurried up to him to listen.
In the dimly lit and narrow stone room, Suchak's hoarse voice was accompanied by the almost shattered internal organs in his body, and he kept gurgling and gurgling.
It wasn't until finally that I suddenly heard a few words.
That's the "key... and corpses. ”
It occurred to me that if the people hanging upside down in front of me were experimenters who had worked here, then the key would definitely be on them.
With that in mind, I looked up and walked over to the first corpse facing me.
I first tore off a square cloth from my body and tied it to my nose, for fear that some unclean dust would infect me.
But then, no matter how much he fumbled for the contents of these corpses, he found nothing.
I suddenly remembered that there was a piece of magnetic ore in my pocket, which I had originally seen next to the four magnetic pillars in the warehouse.
There are also strange Taoist runes engraved on it, and I originally planned that if I had a chance to escape, I would definitely figure out all this according to the clues above in the future.
I didn't expect it to come in handy at this time.
I groped for several corpses with a magnet until I finally landed on the last one.
His body was hanging upside down, and it was already a little scarred due to the decay, and it was even covered with green moss, which made people want to retch.
After a few probings, I came to a conclusion that I had to believe, but it was very disgusting.
That is, the key is hidden in the stomach of this corpse.
I can imagine that after receiving the order to destroy the documents, this group of little devils burned all the documents related to the genetic plan of the Soul Returning Gate.
Only the key that opened the secret door could not be handled.
In a hurry, he didn't even hesitate to swallow it in his mouth, and then with the determination of the jade shattered tile, he swore allegiance to the so-called Emperor Majesty.
Holding back the stench, I reached out and dug into the cavity of the corpse's abdomen, groping back and forth, and finally found an iron object resembling a key in my palm.
After getting the key, I couldn't wait to open the secret door, but when I pushed the door open, I was stunned by the scene inside.
This is an underground plaza that is a few points larger than the original coffin warehouse.
A sallow-yellow corpse was neatly arranged on the ground.
They sat on their knees, facing a huge dusty sun-raising flag in front of them, and they all had a terrible wound cut by a dagger in their abdomen.
There were thousands of corpses densely packed together, and this strange sight shocked me beyond words for a moment.
I couldn't help but guess what the little devils had dug up back then, or what irreversible blows they had encountered.
will choose such a tragic suicide behavior.
If you calculate according to time, this group of little devils a few decades ago is still a few years away from the emperor's surrender, and there is no reason why they all committed suicide by seppuku.
The cold wind whistled past my ears, and I seemed to have the illusion that these corpses were not dead, when I subconsciously looked at them.
The corpse closest to him in front of him, revealing hollow hole eyes, lowered his head and stared at the wound in his abdomen that had been cut.
The palm of his hand seemed to tremble suddenly.
I broke out in a cold sweat and hurried out of the iron gate to breathe in the air.
There was an indescribable oppression in these squares full of corpses, the first time I had ever had such a strange feeling in all my years of dealing with dead people.
Suchak sat calmly in his chair, staring straight behind me, as if I had noticed something all at once.
I turned around and found a dried corpse suddenly appearing behind me.
I was so frightened that I subconsciously took two steps back, and the death of the dried corpse in front of me was even more eerie.
His shriveled eyes and pupils were constantly looking upwards in his still rotten eye sockets, and a rusty bayonet was clenched in his hand.
The most bizarre thing is that the bayonet penetrated through his chin into his brain, and the scene exuded an incomparably strange and depressing feeling.
I clutched my heaving chest, feeling a little breathless, the corpses here were so weird.
It's like being bewitched and controlled by something before he dies, so he will make a move that wants to kill himself.
I suddenly remembered that at the end of the corpse in the square just now, there was an extremely strange big iron door.
Seeing that there were no more clues to be found, I picked up the limp Suchak and went into the huge underground plaza full of suicide bodies inside the secret door.
After entering through the door again, I realized that the corpse that had suddenly appeared behind me had most likely been hanging from the top of my head.
It's just that the rope on the corpse broke because of the vibration of opening the door, and then it hung down the wall silently.
I couldn't help but gasp, puffed up my chest, and finally picked up the courage to explore the tomb of Concubine Jin ten years ago again.
Everything that happened in Concubine Jin's tomb could not be described by science and common sense.
Compared to there, these little devils who have been dead for decades in front of them seem to have nothing to fear.
Maybe it's because the psychological suggestion has played a role, looking at these little devils who committed suicide by disembowelment in front of them, there seems to be a strong fear in their hearts anymore.
