Chapter 8: The Golden Spine
"Are they going to be corpses?"
Chen Xian looked at the dead corpses in disbelief, his expression slightly heavy.
In this case, Huo Fatzi naturally knew the severity and did not dare to use the flashlight to shine on them at will, in the case of four oil lamps, he chose to turn off the flashlight and suppressed the sound of breathing, and stood carefully behind Chen Xian.
Chen Xian didn't make any other moves, he used his ability to see things secretly, and he was observing all the time.
The overview of the whole square, the details of each corpse, he went through it in his mind over and over again.
There are many differences between these corpses.
Age, looks, gender, and even identity.
But they also have one thing in common.
The death of each corpse was the same.
It was thin and withered like a skeleton, as if the fat on its whole body had been evaporated, and its skin was a strange dark gray, with many conspicuous folds.
On their backs, there is also a wound that seems to have been artificially cut, with neat and smooth cuts on both sides, revealing a complete vertebrae curve from the neck down to the tail vertebrae.
For everything he saw in front of him, Chen Xian was a little confused.
Let's not talk about the doctors and nurses in overalls, just the patients.
Didn't they burn to death in the fire?
Chen Xian and Huo Fatzi had met their spirits in the corridor before, and each of them looked like they had been scorched by the fire, why couldn't they be seen from the corpses now?
There was no trace of the bodies being burned by the fire...... What the hell is going on??
"Can you see clearly?" Huo Fatzi asked suddenly.
"Yes." Chen Xian replied, his tone full of doubts, "I don't understand the cause of their death, it doesn't look like they were burned to death by fire, but it looks like they were killed by man." ”
"Artificial?" Huo Fatzi was stunned, he didn't expect to hear this answer in Chen Xian's mouth.
"Possibly." Chen Xian said in a low voice, "Their death should have something to do with the wound on their back, and it doesn't look quite right..... Uncle Huo, lend me your flashlight. ”
Hearing this, Huo Fatzi didn't think much about it and handed the flashlight to Chen Xian.
After turning on the flashlight, Chen Xian didn't dare to keep using the lamp to observe the same target, but kept shaking, carefully observing the wounds of these dead corpses with his excellent eyesight.
There was no blood stain in sight, and no excess body tissue could be seen, as if the internal organs had been taken artificially, and the only thing that could be seen was the vertebrae.
And the most conspicuous is the vertebrae.
"Uncle Huo, look." Chen Xian said, and shook the flashlight on the nearest corpse, but in order to ensure that Huo Fatzi could see it, the flashlight stayed for a longer time than before.
Huo Fatzi followed the guidance and looked over, only to see that there was a golden thing in the wound behind the corpse.
"What's that?" Huo Fatzi asked suspiciously.
"Vertebrae." Chen Xian said in a low voice.
Huo Fatzi was stunned for two seconds and asked, "Golden vertebrae?" That's right? ”
"I won't be mistaken, although there is no way to determine whether it is real gold now, but I feel ......" Chen Xian nodded, the doubts in his eyes became thicker, "I seem to know where those gold bricks went." ”
When Huo Fatzi interrogated Hong Jinxi, Hong Jinxi confessed that Wushan Mental Hospital bought a batch of gold bricks, which was also the source of the whole case, and it was that ton of gold bricks that aroused his greed, which led to so many things.
"You're saying all that gold was used to beat their vertebrae?" Huo Fatzi asked in disbelief.
"Possibly." Chen Xian said in a low voice, raising his hand and pointing at the corpses in the front row.
The doctors and nurses, whose deaths were almost identical to those of the patients, could not see the golden vertebrae.
"Those doctors and patients died in the same condition, maybe they encountered the same thing, but they don't have this kind of golden vertebrae in their bodies, and the bones are the most common color, so I think ......" Chen Xian frowned and analyzed carefully, "Maybe these bones have nothing to do with their deaths, and those golden bones may have another effect." ”
"What else does it do?" Huo Fatzi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "What effect?" ”
"It's not clear yet." Chen Xian shook his head.
The reason why the psychiatric hospital replanted the patient's vertebrae with pure gold must be because there is some purpose, and it is impossible to use money for no purpose to waste money, but what do they want to do...... Chen Xian hasn't figured this out yet.
"Xiao Chen, they kneel like this, is there anything to say?" Huo Fatzi asked suddenly.
In this square, every kneeling corpse bowed its head and faced the hut in the middle of the square, with its hands folded as if in prayer.
That picture is already extremely weird, and the more Huo Fatzi looks at it, the more bottomless he feels, and he feels terrifyingly evil.
In the sound of the group of corpses' breathing, Chen Xian looked unmoved at the middle of the square, as if he was observing something, and did not answer Huo Fatzi's words.
In the middle of the square is a hut about four meters high.
It seems to be only one floor, and there are no windows outside, only a blackened metal door.
The corpses were bowing in the direction of the hut......
What's in there?
Chen Xian thought for a while, and then spoke: "You wait for me here, I'll go over and take a look." ”
"You're going alone?" Huo Fatzi was a little worried.
Chen Xian snorted and said, "It's not certain whether these corpses are offensive or not, and it's too risky to rush over with you." ”
"Be careful." Huo Fatzi reminded.
Chen Xian nodded, then held his breath and walked forward slowly.
Whether the other party is a spirit or a corpse, if you want not to stimulate them, then it is best to hold your breath and ensure that the yang energy in your body does not leak out as much as possible.
They are all abnormal beings of the yin nature, and they are extremely sensitive to yang particles, and in some cases, let alone breathing, even if you inadvertently fart, there will be a risk of irritating them.
There are too many corpses here.
To be honest, Chen Xian didn't want to do anything with them at all, and it was no joke that two fists were invincible to four hands.
Two or three can deal with it, but what about twenty or thirty? What about two or three hundred?
Thinking that this group of corpses was stimulated to attack the living, Chen Xian was a little stunned in his heart, and his mind was full of pictures of zombies besieging the city in the movie.
If these corpses were really raised on a large scale, Chen Xian's first choice was to withdraw from here with Huo Fatzi, which was also the only choice.
If you want to play with them, Chen Xian may not necessarily die, but Huo Fatzi is 100% dead.
"Whew...... Phew......."
The sound of breathing throughout the square is neat, and the regular tone is almost the same, and the further you go, the louder this sound becomes, and the atmosphere feels more and more depressing.
Chen Xian walked among the corpses and gradually discovered many strange details.
The golden vertebrae of these corpses do not have bumps and bumps like real bones, but are large and smooth as mirrors, with many incave incantations.
The style and structure of the talisman are very similar to Taoist talismans, but the handwriting is too sloppy, and Chen Xian can't see what these talismans are for, after all, he is not a Taoist priest and does not know much about talismans.
Chen Xian was hesitating whether to go slower, and when he got closer, he took a closer look at those charms, maybe he could find some clues.
But at this moment, a terrible and painful howl suddenly came from the hut in the middle of the square.
"She's going to kill me!! Help me!! Someone will help me!! ”
This voice can not only be heard by Chen Xian, but also by Huo Fatzi, so Huo Fatzi was immediately stunned, his heart was full of surprise, could it be that there are still living people in this place?
At this time, Chen Xian was also very surprised, because he could tell that the voice was not made by a living person at all, it was too familiar...... That's the dean's voice!
The terrible howl lasted only a few seconds, and soon fell silent, and the room remained dead silent from beginning to end, with the door closed so that it was impossible to see inside.
Chen Xian walked out of the group of corpses and stopped outside the hut with great vigilance.
Looking at the ordinary little house in front of him, Chen Xian fell into hesitation.
Want to go inside and have a look?
Chen Xian glanced back, a little worried about leaving Huo Fatzi outside alone.
At this moment, a strange mechanical sound suddenly sounded in the room, as if there were many gears and some kind of mechanical device working, and the sound of electricity could be faintly heard.
Before Chen Xian could figure out the situation, the metal door of this hut opened to both sides like an automatic door, and there was no sound in the process of opening the door.
Soon, a white and slender arm stretched out from inside, and gently threw out the "remnant body" of the dean's spirit body, throwing it in front of Chen Xian like garbage.
"Could it be...... She's Patient Thirteen?? ”
