We can only cross the body, swim at the top tens of centimeters, there is hair everywhere, obviously we can't move, but we always inhale it into our mouths as if we are alive, I don't dare to breathe against the surface of the water, I can only lift my body high every time.

This scene is actually very funny, we are like stranded fish, fluttering in a shallow puddle, in fact, the water below is not shallow, but if you want to pass through, you have to squeeze between a person's skin figurines, and the soft skin touch makes people's scalp tingle just to think about.

I prayed that the water would get deeper, and it stopped at this point, and we swam against the top of the human skin, and we couldn't help but touch it, and I was so sick that my whole body felt like it wasn't my own.

It was all human skin figurines, one after another with almost no gaps, and as far as the eye could see, all the body touched was hair, and the slender hair was black and shiny, endless like a sea of hair.

I raised my body again and took a deep breath, fortunately Lao Huang didn't come, he was already a bit clean, and he hated this slender ubiquitous thing, when I was in the inn before, I often complained that the guest room was full of hair, and if I saw this scene, I would not have to die on the spot.

Somehow I remembered the swill room in the escape room, and it felt worse now than it was then, the human skin figurines had gathered so much that I could smell the strange smell they emitted, the stench of old corpses, the slight smell of human oil, and the heaviest of all the hair, which seemed to have been soaked in some kind of potion, and emitted an inexplicable strange smell that made people sick.

It's a pain to stay here for a second longer, and I really want to go back to the sand cave to deal with those tentacle monsters, even if I have to cut them down endlessly, it's better than here, although they're disgusting and disgusting, and it's still more comfortable than here.

We swam through a few more rock crevices, only to see that the road ahead gradually opened up, and the water level was lowered, revealing the top of the heads of the figurines, which was the hardest time, we could not swim, if we stepped on the rocks below, we could only show half of our heads, not to mention that there were human figurines everywhere, and we could only squeeze around among them.

The figurines were too soft to walk on top of their heads, and their bodies were filled with mercury, and although they didn't look like anything on the surface, we were soaked in venom all the time.

It's not going to be easier to walk around than those sand holes, Eleven stretched out his hand and hung on the rock wall next to him, sank down, turned back to Nineteen and said a few words, Nineteen discussed it with Brother Shen again, I don't know what they said, but Eleven turned his head and walked forward again.

Eleven was half a head shorter than me, but he walked at the same height as me, and we were clinging to the rock wall, and he certainly didn't walk where I landed, his body was crooked, and he was holding the rock in his hand, and he was moving against the higher bulge of the rock wall.

I couldn't hold my body for long, I could only walk in a gentle place, I felt like I was about to vomit, these pink-gray mercury spots of human skin figurines kept rubbing against me, I could only use my hands to push them away, like a big balloon, I clinged to them and walked through them, it was as difficult as walking in a large group of people who were going against the grain.

Fortunately, the water level is getting lower and lower, and gradually, their whole heads are exposed, and some of the shorter ones are still soaked in the water, and from a distance it looks like a dense dark gray, and I always feel that their eyes will move, and they are always staring at us.

These smiling or numb expressions are full of weirdness, smiling and evil, as if to invite us to hell, numb and gratuitously indifferent, like a group of indifferent or stabbed in the back.

I knew they were dead, but they were just puppets wrapped in some strange bugs, and their hair stood on end, especially now, it looked more like human heads floating on the water, and their long hair spread out against the water, as if they were alive.

I kept fighting a cold war, I don't know if it was cold or because the yin air here was too heavy, I always felt that there were eyes shooting from all directions, and I turned back frequently to confirm that Brother Shen was still there before I dared to continue to move forward.

The terrain was significantly higher, and after passing through a few rock crevices, the water level dropped to the calf, but fortunately there were no monsters attacking along the way, and there was a bend in front of me, and I saw rocks in the distance, and we finally didn't have to walk in the water anymore.

Eleven also picked up speed, and we finally set foot on the land we had not seen for a long time, although the rocks were still moving slowly, and the number of human skin figurines was increasing, there was always a sense of stability away from the water.

The road ahead is getting wider and wider, and this place can no longer be called a rock crevice, I saw that in front of me is a rock cave four or five meters wide and more than ten meters long, densely filled with human skin figurines, they are placed very neatly, and the messy appearance I saw in front is very different.

Eleven's pace slowed down again, and we walked against the edge of the stone wall, and the front suddenly opened up, and in front of us was a nearly circular cave with a diameter of dozens of meters, which was the largest one we had seen so far.

There are many smaller caves around the cave, and there are many wide crevices, the caves are large and empty, only near the left place stands two rows of human skin figurines, about a dozen, the light is very dim, I vaguely feel that there seems to be something different between them, and I can't see it really.

We walked into the cavern, against the edge of the cave wall, and in the smaller cave on the other side, I saw a dense mass of white bones, glued together in one place, petrified or rotten, no longer visible, these bones huddled together, in a strange and twisted posture, not like they were piled up here.

Eleven took a closer look, then stepped back and said a few words to Nineteen, who nodded, smiled at me, and made a gesture covering his nose.

Thinking about Eleven's lips again, I immediately understood that these people were drowned, Brother Shen stepped forward and touched the rock by the cave, and I saw strange marks on the side of the rock, there should have been something here, but now it is gone.

In fact, if you think about it, you can understand that these white bones were once living people, and they must have been locked up here, but it has been too long, and the "door" that locked them has long been rotten.

What the hell is this place?

We walked forward, the cave in front of us was also full of white bones, looking at the twisted posture should also be drowned, and then forward are the two rows of human skin figurines, I thought it was strange before, but now I look closely and almost didn't call out, where are these human skin figurines, they are people at all!

They were naked/naked, the dark gray mercury spots on their bodies were extraordinarily deep, the dark red clots were also obvious, the intersection of red and gray was extremely terrifying, their eyeballs were all gone, only the hollow eye sockets were left, huge and pitch black, it could be seen that they were dug out very carefully, and the skin around the eye sockets was not injured, and there was an obvious slit on the top of their heads, and the edges were slightly upturned, because of the antiseptic effect of mercury, as if they had just died, as if they were as lifelike as specimens.

But they all have a trace of indescribable weirdness, their expressions are too stiff, I remember Ah Chuan said that the production of human skin figurines needs living people, and after such a great pain, their expressions should be very hideous, but they didn't.

I was shocked, and then I realized that the biggest weirdness of those human skin figurines is the expression, after death, the skin will become stiff, and then slowly decay, after soaking in mercury, it will definitely maintain the expression before death, it is not so easy to deform, but they do not look painful at all.

I lifted the flashlight and looked closely, and found that there was a transparent shell on their faces, covering the whole face, only the part under the nose was exposed, I tentatively stretched out a finger and touched it, and I could feel it through the thick gloves, it was hard, and it seemed to grow on the face.

Nineteen walked up to me, and he must have noticed it, turned his head to look at me, reached out to the face of the figurine, and with a little force, removed the transparent shell.

I was taken aback, I saw him hand me this shell, and smiled at the corner of his mouth, I took it, only to feel that it was hard and soft, very tough, if I had to describe it, it was like the tactile feeling after applying a very thick glue and driing.

I didn't dare to get close to smell it, there really seemed to be a strange smell on it, maybe it was really glue or something, in order to prevent the expressions of these people from becoming distorted and ugly, the maker first applied a layer of glue to freeze their expressions, so that the deliberately set aside under the nose also made sense, he wanted to peel off the human skin completely while these people were alive.

They must have been tied very strongly, but after a long time, everything that held them in place was rotten, and we saw them standing upright here.

I subconsciously took a step back and threw the transparent face shell in my hand aside, I couldn't imagine how cruel this maker was, he was a pervert, he clearly regarded the production of human figurines as an art.

This is his workshop for making human skin figurines, and I feel uncomfortable when I think about it, with living people locked up on one side and figurines being made with mercury on the other, so isn't the other side related to those weird bugs?

I raised my flashlight and looked, the cave on the opposite side seemed to be really full of strange things, I was a little disgusted, I didn't really want to see it, but Nineteen they had already walked over, I didn't want to stay with these figurines at all, so I walked a few steps quickly and followed.

It's so well preserved here, and the division of labor is orderly, the water hole we walked through earlier is probably a warehouse, but I don't understand, if it's for burial, why these skin figurines are only half done and then suddenly stopped, obviously these dozen have already been done, and there are living people locked up over there, wouldn't it be a head and tail to stop suddenly.

Did something happen during the production? I think it's very abnormal, or is this not a mausoleum at all, and the human skin figurines are not burials, this is just the pastime of the owner of the floating island, and it is the place where he makes art.
