Chapter Sixty-Nine: Half a Man

Everyone was shocked, they didn't expect there to be blood here. They cautiously walked over, only to see blood stains coming out of a nearby house, and then crawled along the bluestone road zigzags forward, turning to the right at the intersection.

This large amount of blood stains is dark red, and it is impossible to tell whether it is human blood or animal blood for the time being, but there are bloody palm prints on the bluestone road! The crowd looked at the house on the side, following the bloodstains: it was a magnificent house, very tall, with doors and windows open. The room is richly decorated, with calligraphy and paintings on the walls and blue and white porcelain vases in the corners.

Everyone thinks that this is a jewelry store, and the counter inside is filled with glittering gold and silver jewelry, jade jewelry, and the wall behind the counter is also full of hairpins, jade pendants, necklaces and other gold and silver items, flashing with alluring brilliance.

But on the stone floor in the middle of the house, there was a large pool of blood, and the blood on the road extended from here.

Everyone looked closely at the pool of blood, and it splattered all over the ground, as if an animal had been torn alive! Seeing such a scene in the empty ancient city, everyone couldn't help but shudder!

But there was only blood on the stone floor, but nothing else, and everyone knew that there had been a massacre here.

Obviously, although this ancient city is peaceful, it hides danger! When everyone returned to the bluestone road, Nanyang looked down at the bloodstains, frowned and said, "It looks like human blood." Everyone didn't need to think much about it at this time, and followed the bloodstains.

They walked along the bloodstains, and found that the bloodstains were crooked, and there were bloody palm prints along the way, as if they had been left by someone crawling on the ground covered in blood.

Nanyang's face was a little ugly, looking at the bloodstains, it should be someone injured and struggling to crawl on the ground, leaving bloodstains all the way. Looking at this situation, although I don't know the identity of this person, it must be more than lucky.

What's also a little strange is that the blood stain seems to be divided into two lines, mixed together.

Everyone turned a corner along the bloodstains on the bluestone road, and suddenly found a broken step burden on the ground, which had been scattered, containing hemp rope and other things, and a black cloth hood.

Zhou De was originally very anxious, and when he saw the black cloth hood on the ground, he seemed to be a little surprised, he strode to the side of the baggage, and carefully rummaged through the things inside, and found nothing special.

Gao Qin and Xu Ming took a few photos of the baggage, and everyone continued to move forward, turned another corner, and immediately stopped: suddenly found that "half a person" had fallen on the road.

The reason why it is "half a person" is because it is the lower half of a person's body, which is cut in half by a brush at the waist, and the other half is torn, and the upper body is missing.

Everyone was taken aback, they didn't expect to see such a bloody and terrifying corpse.

The corpse fell here, and one of the two blood stains also stopped here, and everyone cautiously walked to the side of the corpse, only to see that the pants and straw sandals on the corpse were all dressed as villagers in the fifties and sixties, splashed with mottled blood.

Gao Qin and Xu Ming saw this miserable scene, although they had a lot of experience, they couldn't help but feel nauseous and chilled.

Xu Ming said: "It seems that this is a tomb robber!" How...... Why did you die so miserably? ”

Gao Qin frowned and said, "It seems that he has been hit by the mechanism." She pointed to the blood stains on the ground, and then said, "This person should have been victimized in that jewelry store, senior brother, you see, there is very little blood here, the blood is running out, there must not be an accident here." ”

Xu Ming said: "But this person was cut open in a jewelry store, how did the lower half of his body get here again?" He continued, "What about his upper body?" ”

Nanyang thought for a while and said, "Someone should have carried it here." The man was cut in half at the waist, probably not immediately dead at the time, but was rescued and carried here to die. ”

Gao Qin said: "The person who carried him may not be his accomplice, but an enemy, otherwise he should have been rescued at that time, and he should not have moved so far." ”

Xu Ming nodded and said, "Or if there was any emergency at that time, his accomplices didn't have time to save him, so they had to drag him away first!" This also explains the bloody palm prints on the ground, and this person may be being dragged by others while still climbing his own! ”

Xu Ming thought that there was a terrorist mechanism in this ancient city that cut people in half, and he couldn't help but be terrified!

Gao Qin and the others were discussing, but they always felt that no matter what kind of inference was unreasonable, there were loopholes, but Zhou De didn't speak, he saw that the lower half of his body was dressed, his nervous expression relaxed a little, and he continued to walk along the bloodstains.

After the lower half of the man's body stopped here, there was a trail of blood extending forward, and everyone followed the trail of blood in the empty ancient city, always feeling eerie.

Then they crossed a street and saw a tall house, which was actually a bank. The door of the bank was open, and a few glittering gold bars were scattered around the door. Gao Qin and the others walked over cautiously, only to see that the counters in the room were full of copper coins, gold and silver ingots, gold bars, etc., flashing with charming light.

Looking at this room full of gold and silver, everyone was dumbfounded: in this lost empty city, why should the gold and silver be so unguarded in the bank? Moreover, even a real ancient money bank may not have so much money on the counter.

It was as if the empty city was showing off, showing off its incomparable wealth. Who built this ancient city? What is the purpose?

Some of the gold bars on the counter were missing, and some were scattered on the floor, apparently by some means. Gao Qin and Xu Ming leaned over to look at the gold bar at the door, Xu Ming carefully picked up a piece, it was golden and heavy, it was really made of pure gold.

Xu Ming looked at the gold bar in his hand and was very excited, this piece of gold bar was worth a lot of money. He really wanted to go into the bank, but the thought that there might be a deadly mechanism hidden in the bank, dispelled the idea.

Zhou De was not interested in these gold bars, and still followed the bloodstains, and everyone turned a few corners and entered an alley, and suddenly found a person's upper body lying motionless on the road.

Nanyang, Ah Hu, and Zhu cautiously walked to the side of this half of the body, only to see the person with only the upper body lying on the road, face down, unable to see his appearance clearly. The man stretched out his arms and fingers like hooks, as if he were about to grasp something.

The man was cut off by the waist, and the blood was gone, and the blood stopped here. It seems that the "lower body" in front should be his.

Although everyone found this disgusting body, they couldn't help frowning, although the identity of this person has not been clarified, this person's death is really too miserable.

Nanyang didn't act rashly, he first measured this person with an instrument, he had no body temperature for a long time, and he was already a corpse. Ah Hu took out the crowbar and carefully turned over the corpse, but the appearance of the corpse surprised everyone: the man was pale, his flesh seemed to have been cooked, fluffy, and very paralyzed. His eyes were red, his mouth was wide open, and his tongue was sticking out.

Moreover, although the man looked like he had been dead for a long time, he was not corrupted, as if he had just died.

Everyone looked at the corpse, and only saw that the deceased seemed to be from the sixties, looking like a villager, and there were no obvious clues to the rest. Everyone was wondering: What the hell are these people doing? What the hell happened to them?

Xu Ming frowned and said, "This person looks like a tomb robber who was killed by a trap, but how could his body be scattered and so far away?" ”

Gao Qin was also puzzled and said: "If someone is carrying this person away, and the lower half of this person's body has been left elsewhere, why do you have to move the upper body here?" ”

Xu Ming said: "Yes, if someone wants to save him, then they shouldn't do it, doesn't this make him die faster?" If someone wants to harm him, there is no need to be so troublesome, it is so bloody, just kill him. ”

No matter how Gao Qin and the others think, they can't explain the reason why this person's upper and lower bodies are separated, and they also can't explain the bloody palm prints on the ground that look like the dead crawling, and what happened here seems to be hard to imagine.

When Zhou De saw the appearance of the deceased, he was very excited, as if he was looking for something. Seeing that everyone was speculating about the reason for the tragic death of the deceased, Zhou De said with a serious expression: "Don't guess anymore, he climbed here by himself." ”

Everyone was taken aback when they heard Master Zhou say this, judging from the current situation, this person really seemed to be crawling. However, the distance from the jewelry store to here is not short, a person is cut off by the waist, the upper and lower body are separated, he should have died a long time ago, how can he climb such a long way? Could it be that this corpse with only the upper body can still crawl here with its hands?

Xu Ming was a little frightened, and he was even more panicked when he thought of the terrifying head of the corpse with a long tongue, and he asked angrily: "You said he crawled by himself?" Isn't it still haunted?! ”

Master Zhou didn't argue with Xu Ming, looking at the streets and alleys in front of him, his eyes became deep. He said coldly: "It seems that the situation is very bad. ”
