I felt a little perverted to think that the guy who made these figurines was definitely gone, and I could tell from just looking at the dry bones that the workshop had been out of operation for a long time.

The labyrinth began to get restless again, but it was too big to crush us, but our feet shook so hard that we held on to the rock wall and walked to the other side, where there were several separate caves, and there were things in them.

The one closest to us was the largest, and it was full of human skins, and the human skins were deflated, and their facial features became very flat, and at first glance their faces looked like masks, but I knew that these were all real human skins, and their hair was still on their scalps, and when the floating island sank to the bottom of the sea, it must have been full of water, and now there were water stains everywhere, and clumps of hair were tangled together, and they looked shiny.

There was still room behind this pile of human-high human skins, and Nineteen walked over from the lower place next to him, and I stepped on it, and my feet were soft and very tough, if I didn't know that it was human skin, I thought it was something like rubber.

I tilted my head from behind Nineteen to see that the inside of the cave was larger, and there was a pool hewn out of stone on the ground, which had been cut out of a rough and timed manner, and it was almost smoothed out over time, but it was still the first time we had seen traces of artificiality.

The pool was filled with seawater, and I smelled a strange smell in it, which was familiar, and I remembered at once that it was the smell of the hair of human skin figurines, which must have been filled with some kind of potion for tanning human skins and embalming hair.

It's really a clear division of labor, I pouted, I don't know how to describe it, Nineteen walked in, and shone a flashlight around, I saw that there was a sunken cave inside the cave, which was also full of human skin, but it had rotted into a big mess, and the hair on the scalp had fallen out, and it was estimated that it had already been washed away by the water.

I bent down to look at the bottom of the pool, only to see that there was still a layer of black at the bottom of the pool, the strange smell was what it emitted, I looked closely, and I couldn't see what it was, it had not been washed away by water for so many years, it must be difficult to wash off, I immediately thought of asphalt, and it smelled very similar.

I didn't want to look any further, so I walked out the same way, Brother Shen and they had already gone to the next cave, and I saw that there were layers of gray-black pillars piled up inside, and my heart couldn't help but tighten.

It's those bugs, they're really here, it's really awkward to see it like this, and if I didn't know, I wouldn't have imagined that there could be such a horrible thing hidden in these seemingly non-threatening vessels.

These gray-black things are an unknown material in themselves, not like metal, but also like metal, and the toughness of rubber and the feel of plastic, at first glance they are quite advanced, they have been washed away by the water, and the outer layers are rolled everywhere, and there are also in the caves outside.

I saw Brother Shen slash one of them in half, I thought there would be worms spraying out, so I quickly took a few steps back, but I didn't expect that there was nothing inside, it turned out to be empty.

Brother Shen also seemed surprised, cut a few more, all empty, they walked to the next cave, I looked back a few more times, these strange pillars themselves are sealed, if there are no bugs, how did those bugs get stuffed into it later?

The next cave is very small, just a few square meters, and it is very empty, only a furnace-like thing is placed on the ground, half as tall as me, made of metal, it should be bronze, but obviously the smelting is not good enough, they are corroded too badly, there are complex and dense patterns on it, but now you can only see a ball of patina, only a serpentine pattern wrapped around it is more obvious, but I can't see the specific appearance.

It was a strange vessel, round with a big belly, but it was neither an incense burner nor a ding, it was completely sealed, without a lid or any gaps, and it looked so thick that it didn't look like it could be cut.

Nineteen and Brother Shen glanced at each other, and the two of them half-crouched down to move it, and I saw their expressions change, and they only shook it for a moment before putting it back in place, and they took a few steps back and moved away from it.

"What's in there?" I couldn't suppress my curiosity and asked, pulling Nineteen.

He shook his head, I don't know if he didn't know what it was or if there was nothing in it, but it didn't look like they didn't have anything, they were a little afraid of it, otherwise they wouldn't have backed away.

I didn't ask any more, I couldn't feel it through such a thick metal, but there must be something in it.

There are two rock crevices next to this cave, which are quite wide, and the flashlight can only see a darkness, I don't know where it leads, and there is a cave next to it, and when I was on the opposite side, I saw a figure standing inside, and sure enough, there were human skin figurines that had been assembled for the final step of processing.

They have their own appearances, some have not yet been sewn with the knife edge on the top of the head, some have been sewn up, but the facial features have not been painted, I saw a few small jars on the ground, the lid was tightly closed, nineteen carefully opened it and looked at it, it was full of water, very turbid.

Nineteen stood up, raised his foot and kicked it down, and suddenly all the water spilled out, and in the jar it was so black that I couldn't see anything, and when I spilled it, I realized that the water itself was black, and I understood, it was the paint for painting human faces.

But there must be something wrong with these paints, otherwise the human skin figurines would not change their expressions with the rise and fall of the water level, and sure enough, the paint sprinkled on the ground began to move on its own, spreading from the distance to the middle little by little.

We retreated far away, and I watched the scene in front of me dumbfounded, and saw that it was gradually gathering, moving slowly and sluggishly like oil, it was not water, not a drop stuck to the ground, like mercury would not penetrate, and we watched it gather together, and it stood up little by little!

What the hell is this!

I didn't dare to get out of the atmosphere, looking at this black liquid like an alien, it seemed to be conscious, it slowly moved to the side of the jar, and flowed into it against the wall of the jar, its strength was quite large, the jar moved a little, and slowly stood up again, except that the lid fell aside, the jar liquid actually returned to its original state.

As the saying goes, it's hard to get rid of the water, but I didn't expect to be able to see the spilled water return to the container by itself, and I felt that either my eyes were broken, or my brain was broken, or the world was broken.

Everyone looked incredulous, even Brother Shen showed an expression of disbelief, Nineteen picked up the lid that fell on the ground, and stepped forward to cover it, since this liquid is not going to conflict with us, then we don't want to provoke it.

I feel more and more that there are ghosts around me, what the hell is this, Ah Chuan is not here at such an important time, he will definitely be very interested, maybe he will collect a little.

This world is really getting more and more bizarre, I suddenly found that there are many mysteries on the earth that I can't imagine, the jar is not in place, but no one dares to move, I looked into the hole, only to find that the eyes of these skin figurines are also sewn, but when painting, the needle edge is covered with paint, and there are no traces of stitching, and the details are indeed meticulous to the extreme.

There were caves ahead, but they were all piled up with finished human skins, and we didn't see the bugs, nor their missing eyeballs.

I felt very awkward, like eating a live earthworm raw, there were thousands of bones in that burial pit, all of which had their eyes gouged out, and the number of these figurines would only increase, but their eyes were gone, and I didn't know what these eyeballs would be used for.

I'm always used to thinking about things as bad, maybe the truth is not so terrifying, and there are many legends about the soul in the eyes, maybe the tomb owner was just afraid to kill too many people, so he gouged out their eyes, and these eyeballs may have been thrown away and rotted clean in the sea.

Since it was a place where human skin figurines were made, those bugs must have existed, and the pillars were empty, only the strange furnace ding, we returned to the big cave outside, my eyes stayed on the furnace ding, Brother Shen, they must have found something, I watched from afar, and I didn't dare to touch it.

They were discussing something, and soon they unloaded their equipment and began to eat and rest, it was really tiring after swimming for so long, I slept a few times at first, but they never slept, and we had been in for at least forty hours, and even if they could hold on, they would not be able to bear it.

It's a good place to rest, it's not dangerous and it's spacious and clean, the maze is still moving, but it's certainly not moving enough to fill this huge cave, we don't have to worry about being squeezed to death, the only drawback is that the yin qi is too heavy.

There were dead people everywhere, and that weird stove and paint, and although it seemed safe now, no one knew what would happen after a long stay, safety was only relative, and for us it was enough to have a piece of land to lie down on.

Everyone lay down, except for Brother Shen, I also lay down, stunned to watch him untie the bandage and change the dressing himself, I wanted to help, but I felt that I couldn't do anything, I wanted to help him lift the flashlight, so I sat up, Brother Shen's movements immediately stopped, and he turned his head to look at me, his eyes were as sharp as a knife.

"Do you need my help?"

I asked, and although I couldn't hear it, he must have understood, and shook his head.

I fell down again, watching him toss with one hand, the front of the shoulder was fine, and the back was awkward even with the medicine, I couldn't help it, stood up and walked next to him, and took the tweezers with the alcohol cotton in his hand.

He was stunned for a moment, and let me take it without refusal, his injury was indeed much better, the side of the wound had scabbed, and there was no sign of infection, the originally deep wound became like a trauma, and I saw that new flesh had grown inside the wound.
