Chapter 25: The Dead Man's Cave
The one-eyed man's knife swung in my face, his eyes also looked at me directly, his face sank, and he asked, "Are you also here to dig for treasure?" ”
The one-eyed man's name was Xihe, and he seemed to be the commander of their subordinates, and from his body, this man from time to time revealed the ferocity of a jackal.
I couldn't help but chuckle in my heart, thinking that now that I am also hanging here by them, these Nine Masters and Uncle Mu don't know where they have gone, even if they shout, it will be useless.
For the sake of the overall situation, I also said, "Yes! ”
Xihe stared at me for two minutes, and then said, "How did you find out about this?" ”
And I, too, am a person who understands, if I say that I have found an ancient map in my pocket watch, they will definitely lead me there, and at that time, they may kill people and destroy their mouths.
After thinking about it, I still just told them about the strange death of the person in Linhai Village, but, to make people confused, Xihe kept staring at me, looking at his eyes, as if I was deliberately deceiving him.
However, the yellow-haired boy on the side interjected, "Look, let me say, this river is not ordinary, it is a mysterious ancient river, maybe there are more man-eating monsters in it?" ”
But while speaking, the yellow-haired guy also began to be scared in his heart, and he began to regret that he had come here.
Only then did Xihe turn around and say, "Tuba, untie him!" ”
Tuba was stunned, he didn't know what Xilu was doing, "Xihe Commander, are you just letting this kid go." ”
The Governor of Xihe spoke, and Tuba could only carry out his orders.
I was untied, and my bones were falling apart, and I sat down on the floor, panting heavily.
So, I was picked up by two other Naxi men, and according to Xihe's will, I walked towards the depths of the secret passage here. I didn't take a good look at it when I came in. The place is open all around, and the stone walls on the left and right sides are still showing large and small holes.
However, the entrance to the cave here is much wider than what I have seen before, and the creaking sound of my feet on the soft mud makes my hair stand on end.
With a faint light, I always felt that something was about to happen, but I couldn't find any clues.
Until he got out of the hole, the yellow-haired guy on the side pointed forward, "What's that?" ”
Out of curiosity, the yellow-haired boy leaned forward directly. But as soon as I stepped forward, I saw dozens of ropes suddenly popping out of the cracks in the stone wall, and Tuba wanted to go and pull back the yellow-haired boy, but he was still a step too late, only to see that the rope that jumped out directly hooked the yellow-haired guy's chin, and then, and then lifted up, the yellow-haired boy was suspended in the air.
He struggled a few times, kicked around, but to no avail, and his neck was completely entangled, until he was dying and died in agony.
My instinctive reaction was to take a few steps back, I was a good person, and in just a few minutes, I just died, and no one believed that this was the truth. I cowered, a little scared.
Instead, Xihe stepped forward and tried it, he called a few people to Tuba, and directly touched the hanging corpse. And I'm just following behind them.
When I got closer, there was a faint light, but I found that the yellow-haired guy's face was pale, his eyes were open, and he was staring ahead. Xihe nudged his body, he was no longer conscious, and his whole body stiffened.
However, Xihe was better at it, and used a flying knife to cut the rope on which the yellow-haired guy was hanging, and with a bang, his body fell to the dirt and rocks.
And I also hurried to check the dead yellow-haired boy, looked at his neck, but surprisingly, he couldn't find a wound on his body, exactly the same as the death incident in Linhai Village, I panicked, I remember that he was hanging by a rope at that time, no matter what, there should be traces on the neck, but now I see nothing.
Xihe also noticed that something was wrong, so he picked up the rope in his hand and looked at it carefully.
"Ah...... This ......," I was amazed.
"Human skin rope?" Nishiwa's brows furrowed, a puzzled expression.
What I saw was not one of the kind of turf ropes, but a human skin rope with blood stained in the skin, all made of cut human skin.
I was horrified, this vile method could be described as extremely cruel, and I had never encountered such a thing in my six years in the detective guard.
"Commander Xihe, he may have been murdered!" Tuba said.
Xihe got up and looked around, called the other two men, and looked for them separately from the side wall of the cave.
The other two big men also wore sheepskin coats, fur boots, and a few small braids tied on their heads, the taller one was called Tashi, and the fat short one was called Kampot, which sounded more like Tibetan names.
This is their custom, and it is a symbol of the Dongba people.
"Nope!"
The two big men came one after the other to pay their respects.
At this time, I saw Xihe's gloomy face again, so I pointed forward with my hand.
I didn't quite know what he meant, but Xihe's subordinates directly touched forward.
It's very confusing, walking forward, there is a circular opening down, above this opening, there is a trace of blood spots distributed, I don't know, this is just left, or someone did it on purpose.
And below this opening, it is even more unusual, and the inside is more like a grotto.
Xihe, who was the leader, slipped down with a gun in his hand.
Well, my legs are a little weak, from the hole down the visual inspection is more than ten meters high, although there is a slope, but I have seen, this slope is extremely steep, if you are not careful, it will be fatal on the spot.
What's more, there are still many carved stones above the slope, like the tip of a needle, and the end of this stone is only 30 cm from the bottom, and it is extremely difficult to pass.
However, Xihe had already slipped down, but it passed so smoothly that I saw him slowly disappear from sight.
"It's up to you!" Finally, Kampot said to me.
I hesitated, trying to slide down, but when I reached the entrance of the cave, my bones went limp.
Kampot glanced at me and reminded me again, "If you don't do it again, don't blame me for being ruthless!" ”
When I heard this, he must have nothing good, so he simply let it go, his life was already in their hands, and he would die wherever he went, so he didn't hesitate any longer, and leaned in, and then I felt a hot current behind me, and my ass was like a spark burning.
The pain came from my feet to the top of my head, and I couldn't control my body and kept sliding down......
