It was already late at night when I came out of the Bai Wenliu Research Institute, and Bai Wenliu and I went to have a supper together.

I ordered ramen and he ordered fried rice.

The two of them were eating face to face, and to be honest, I haven't had a very good appetite lately because there are so many things that have affected me a lot, but I'm not going to cry when I just find someone.

Actually, if Qin Zixuan was still awake, she would be a good person to talk to, after all, we have suffered together in the tomb, and she is also my age, and she is a good-looking girl. And whether it is Bai Wenliu and Xiaoqu, although they are not much older than me, they always give me a feeling of twilight, like a dried corpse in an ancient tomb.

As soon as I thought of this, I opened my mouth to ask Bai Wenliu about Qin Zixuan's situation.

Bai Wenliu told me that Qin Zixuan was still in a coma and showed no signs of waking up for the time being, and the doctor said that the possibility of being a vegetative person could not be ruled out.

Hearing this, I have mixed feelings.

Especially since I know that Old Qin has been busy with my affairs and the affairs of the ancient tomb over there in Huayin, how much pressure an old man like him has to bear.

I said I wanted to go and see Qin Zixuan, Bai Wenliu was stunned for a moment and said okay.

After supper, Bai Wenliu drove me to the hospital, neither of us entered the ward, just stood at the door and watched, Qin Zixuan had left the intensive care, her physical condition had basically recovered, there was no danger to her life, but people couldn't wake up.

I stood at the door for half an hour, and then motioned to Bai Wenliu that we could go.

Leaving the hospital building and getting back into Bai Wenliu's car, I lit a cigarette, Bai Wenliu frowned slightly when he sat in, he seemed to have a habit of cleanliness, but because of my identity, he didn't say anything.

Recently, although I am still the same person, they have begun to show more and more respect for me, perhaps because of the words at my grandmother's dinner table, I can still feel these details.

Then, Bai Wenliu sent me back to the hotel.

That night, I had insomnia again, and I didn't fall asleep until four or five o'clock in the morning, and then about eight o'clock in the morning, there was a knock on the door of my room.

"Master, we're leaving."

It was Xiaoqu shouting outside.

I didn't expect to go so fast, but I didn't complain, I washed up and sat on the edge of the bed for a while, and when I knocked on the door for the second time, I put the hair mound mark in my bag and walked out.

I don't have anything else to bring with me or anything to prepare, which is a bit ironic, because it makes me think that they are scientific researchers, and that I am just a remnant of feudal superstition.

The Xicheng high-speed railway has been opened, our team is to take the high-speed rail to Xi'an first, and then take the high-speed rail from Xi'an to Huayin, Xiaoqu told me that some people in Chengdu have set off with some equipment last night, and there are also people in Huayin who are ready to cooperate with us.

This time, there were not many people who went, and I was accompanied by Bai Wenliu and Xiaoqu, which was not as big as the scene last time, and it seemed a little simple, Bai Wenliu explained that it was because there was no way to specifically determine the location of the tomb this time, so the early survey did not need to send too many people to find his own Faqiu.

Bai Wenliu has the ability to fix the acupoint, and it is enough to have him go.

When the tomb is found, a large group of people will come.

We got off at Huayin Station, and a special car came to pick us up, Xiaoqu was responsible for handling some handover matters with them, and Bai Wenliu and I changed cars halfway to check on a selected location.

I don't know why Bai Wenliu took me with me, it's not raining today, do you want me to recreate the experience of falling into the tomb again?

And it wasn't a good experience for me, if I hadn't fallen that time, Qin Zixuan wouldn't have had an accident.

Huayin is a very famous city, because there is a Huashan here, and the entire Huashan Scenic Area has basically been built into a unified tourism industry, tourists come here to travel, have to take a special tourist bus back and forth to various points.

Of course, we definitely didn't go to the scenic spot, but drove more than two hours from the city to the mountain road, Bai Wenliu looked out the window while looking at the geographical map in his hand, and asked the driver to stop the car from time to time and then come down to see.

Finding it like this is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, according to Bai Wenliu, he is just doing his best to obey the fate of heaven, and he doesn't force it to find it, after all, the scope given is too big, so big that it will take him a long time to read it.

We're actually still waiting for news from the police, after all, it seems that the team of tomb robbers is also planning to do it in the near future.

In fact, a hundred years ago, we were actually one family with them, but now we are court eagle dogs.

I squinted, sitting in the car and thinking nonsense, Bai Wenliu was still busy, at first I followed him out of the car, asked and looked, and then I didn't get out of the car, I wanted to take out my mobile phone to watch and play games for a while, but thinking about it seems that it is too disrespectful to my identity, so forget it.

We were so busy until more than two o'clock in the morning that Bai Wenliu asked the driver to drive us back to rest.

It was already three o'clock in the morning when I returned to the guest house, I took the key and opened the door and planned to take a shower and get a good night's sleep.

However, as soon as I lay down, Bai Wenliu knocked on the door.

"Master, get up, there's news from the police."

I really wanted to curse, but I suppressed my boredom and put on my clothes and came out with me.

This time, it was a convoy of armed police, and there were also some people in charge of the local cultural relics bureau, all of whom were familiar with Bai Wenliu, and Bai Wenliu did not introduce me, so they all regarded me as an assistant or section member who came with Director Bai.

I originally thought that this time it was the same as the last time in Chengdu, the police were responsible for maintaining order, but I slowly found out that something was wrong, we seemed to be vassals this time, and this police and armed police team were the leaders, Bai Wenliu and several people from the local cultural relics bureau kept calling the police in front of the car to explain some things.

After the convoy left the city and entered the mountains, Bai Wenliu handed me a photo in hand.

The first time I saw it, I was glad I didn't eat supper tonight because I was so sleepy, otherwise I would have vomited.

In the photo, a man is stripped naked, and the rest of his body is filled with chopsticks, and he poses in a strange position to nail a wooden stake to the wall, a posture that is impossible for a living person to do, and only a dead person can do it.

"This is an undercover comrade of the police, who lost contact yesterday, and the police found the body in an abandoned wooden house in the mountains after searching the location of the last place where the tracker on his body was found." Bai Wenliu explained to me.

"It's ...... Some kind of sacrifice? I asked tentatively, I don't know why I asked, because ordinary people would definitely think that it was the underworld or criminals who punished and vented their anger on the traitor after finding out the undercover agent, but the posture of the corpse in this photo really made me very uncomfortable, this is not simply killing people to vent anger and insults, it must have a deeper meaning.

"It's called a corpse puppet." Bai Wenliu seemed to be a little surprised by my question, because I really guessed correctly, "Before going down to the murderous tomb, using a living person to light the corpse is equivalent to letting this person replace the tomb robber to make amends to the tomb owner." ”

"We used to ...... Do you do the same? "I asked a very silly question.

This question made Bai Wenliu a little angry, and this man, who had always been polite and polite, actually caused his voice to be a little distorted because of his great anger at this time:

"We have the master of the palm print, and we disdain these crooked ways that hurt heaven and reason."

I ignored Bai Wenliu's anger,

Because my first reaction at this time was,

It turns out that I am in the same job as the corpse in the photo?

Of course, I didn't have the slightest disrespect for this sacrificial undercover agent, I sympathized and respected this sacrificial comrade, and at the same time vowed to find the tomb robbers and protect the relics.

But this did not prevent me from forming a picture in my mind after listening to Bai Wenliu's words, my whole body was full of chopsticks and nailed to the wall.

It's really a human being,

Shudder.
