Chapter 5: The Great Evil
There's nothing to see in this stone chamber, and there's nothing to be found after a casual look. A hole leads to the outside, which is blocked by a stone, and the stone is removed, and there is a passage outside.
Feng Qi and Su Ziyan went out one after another, but when they looked up, they saw a terrifying scene!
On the stone wall in front of him, a steel pipe is horizontal in the middle, and the two ends of the steel pipe are embedded in the stone, and the steel pipe is full of ropes twisted from iron wire, and those ropes are hung with pieces of meat!
The temperature underground is extremely low, and even in the hottest summers, you need to wear a padded jacket to stay here. The meat has been air-dried, like dried bacon, with a layer of ice on the surface.
The reason why it is terrifying is because these meats are not the meat of livestock such as pigs, dogs, cattle and sheep, but human flesh!
The arms with two palms are cut from the middle, and the skin and flesh of the white flowers are turned outward, and the meridians and bones inside can be clearly seen; The two foot plates were chopped off by the ankle bones, and the bone stubble at the broken bone was exposed and jet black. The middle of the footboard was pierced by iron wire, and it hung side by side on the steel pipe, as if a person with only two feet left was stepping on it; There is also a piece of ribs; A skull with no flesh and no bones left, apparently cooked......
It's hanging human flesh here as food! Feng Qi looked at these with straight eyes, and then there was an uncomfortable feeling in his stomach, and he gurgled and made a sound!
Su Ziyan frowned at first, then narrowed his eyes slightly, there was anger between his eyebrows, and his voice was slightly cold, "This is the food source of the lame." ”
Hearing this, Feng Qi couldn't hold back anymore, and ran to the side and vomited!
A man spent more than half a year and more than 200 days under the mine, but there was no shortage of food. It's because he treats people like food......
"How many people did he kill?! How many accidents have occurred and how many people have gone missing in the last year of Mine No. 3! ”
Feng Qi gasped and said with difficulty.
"Just find him and ask him. Eating human flesh to survive, people are fierce, it is really more ferocious than ghosts. Su Ziyan sighed.
There were also two helmets standing squarely on the ground, half-filled with solid stuff inside. One is dark black and the other is white.
"What's in there?" Feng Qi asked.
Su Ziyan glanced at me, "Are you sure you want to know?" ”
Feng Qi looked at the meat and bones hanging from the steel pipe, and then looked at the contents of the two helmets, and thought of two things, pig blood and lard......
Then Feng Qi's face turned into a vegetable, and he turned around and left.
We figured out the right and turned right after coming out of the stone chamber, and the passage went down. The ore on both sides of the passage was 'old', the color of the wind and water that had been exposed for a long time, the grooves on the ground that had been crushed by the wheels were filled with water and the water had frozen into ice, and occasionally a drill or a broken shovel could be seen, covered with rust......
It's been abandoned for a long time, it's an abandoned mine, and who would build a stone house under the mine? The No. 3 mine is only separated from this place by about three or four meters of ore layers, and if the 'ore holes' found by Feng Qi and Su Ziyan are stuffed with explosive Yao and then detonated, the two places can figure it out. The 'gunners' drilled through the two places, and it turned out to be a waste road.
This is obviously illogical, and it is most likely that someone deliberately sealed the place and sealed the mouth of the 'gunner' who drilled there to find out about the situation.
Of course, this is just one of the clues that are not important to us for the time being, and what we need to do now is to follow this path further.
"Su Ziyan, are we really in the wrong place? The steel plate on the side of Mine No. 3 was pressed by stones, and the exit of the stone chamber was not blocked...... That cripple should be in Mine Three right now, right? And stayed over there for a while. ”
Feng Qi gradually walked out of the previous psychological shadow, and after spitting out the contents of his stomach, his thinking was clearer.
"The cripple can't run away, he is just a person after all, a tangible and qualitative existence."
is tangible and qualitative, no matter where he hides, he can always be pulled out. Because there is only one entrance and exit to the surface above, and that is Mine No. 3.
As we learned during the day, there is currently only one mining area on this high mountain, and the Xinling Mining Company has only opened four shafts in this mining area to go deep into the ground.
Xinling Mining took over the mine a decade ago, and before the first shaft was opened, several other abandoned wellheads on the mine were sealed in landfills. Except for more than 100 workers in the mining area, there are no permanent residents on this mountain, and it is rare to see unidentified and unfamiliar faces.
In other words, no matter what is dug into the interior of the mine's mid-belly, there are no entrances and exits other than four known wellheads, hundreds of meters underground.
After walking for a while, Su Ziyan walked in front of Feng Qi, and Feng Qi followed closely behind. There is no pattern in this underground passage, and it is full of twists and turns, not like a mine tunnel.
"Aqi, have you found out?" After walking for a while, Su Ziyan asked Feng Qi.
"Found what? Coming from the No. 3 mine, apart from the stone chamber, there is also human flesh hanging outside, how can I find anything else......"
"This passage goes all the way down, in a spiral, to the center of the earth. Don't you wonder where the end of the passage is, what could be there? Su Ziyan said without selling Guan Zi.
"You're trying to tell me that the purpose of digging this passage is not to mine ore, but to lead to some unknown place? Because there's something there? ”
Feng Qi said along with Su Ziyan's words.
Su Ziyan nodded, and then shook his head again, he seemed to be hesitant and entangled because of something.
Feng Qi looked at the time and reminded Su Ziyan, "An hour has passed, and it will be at least an hour to return the same way." Let's go further, if we can't get back to the surface before dawn, and we can't inform Qiu Xi and them of the news, a few of them will go down to the No. 3 mine, and they may be in trouble. ”
"You mean to go back to Mine Three?" Su Ziyan asked Fengqi.
"Let's find the cripple first, this time let's explore the way first." Feng Qi made a decision and did not take the initiative to consult the opinions of the three groups as usual.
I don't know why, but the further I go, the calmer I feel and the clearer my thinking becomes. But at the same time, a sense of trembling from the depths of my heart is getting stronger and stronger. It's a feeling of excitement with fear, and longing with fear...... I had a hunch that if I went straight underground, something big would happen!
Su Ziyan looked at Feng Qi thoughtfully, and then turned back decisively. As long as Feng Qi is determined to do something, he will never have any objections.
Passing by the row of meat and bones hanging again, Feng Qi endured the discomfort in his heart and deliberately avoided looking at it. Su Ziyan stopped, looked at it carefully, and then his expression became serious, "Wait!" ”
"It's a complete body, with all but the skull and the flesh and bones of the same person. Moreover, this leg has a disease in the left leg, and the thigh bone is deformed; Left ankle misalignment...... The man was a cripple. ”
"Cripple?! Is it the 'lame' that Chief Song said? How can it be?! ”
"That's it." Su Ziyan sighed, and then said: "The 'cripple' has completely replaced his body from the neck down, leaving only his original head. ”
Saying these words so lightly, Feng Qi, who listened to it, felt a chill in his heart, and at the same time, he quickly calmed down. Synthesizing the existing clues, a simple guess came out.
"The lame man 'transplanted' someone else's body, dissected his own body, and put it here as food?" Feng Qi's voice trembled a little.
"Not only that, but his 'transplants' were done in stages, and you look at the flesh hanging on it...... The two legs were replaced first, and they were dried for a long time, so the color was the most sallow......"
Su Ziyan made a scientific judgment with absolute rationality and vicious vision, but Feng Qi couldn't stand it, "You don't have to say it in such detail!" ”
"How did he do it?"
Feng Qi took a deep breath, and then said in a deep voice.
"He has fallen into evil and is an inhuman being. What kind of circumstances can make an ordinary person become like this in a short period of time? ……”
Su Ziyan frowned and thought.
"Hurry back to Mine No. 3 and find him!"
Feng Qi hurriedly walked to the stone room, and Su Ziyan also followed.
"I'll go in this time."
Su Ziyan jumped into the hole first, and after a while, Feng Qi also got in.
Inside the narrow passage, Feng Qi smelled a faint smell of blood, and Feng Qi found a few drops of semi-congealed blood stains! There was no blood stains before we went through the cave to the stone chamber!
Feng Qi's heart sank, and secretly said Su Ziyan, didn't something happen? Wrong...... If it was Su Ziyan's blood just now, it wouldn't have dried up so quickly. What's more, with Su Ziyan's ability, he would be injured so quickly, and he would not be able to break it.
Fengqi's action sped up a few points, and he quickly got out of the passage.
Back at the No. 3 mine, Feng Qi drilled out of the hole, and under the illumination of the miner's lamp on his head, Feng Qi saw Su Ziyan next to him, and opposite Su Ziyan, a person who was grinning evilly!
His teeth were yellow, but his mouth was covered in blood, and there were blood stains on the corners of his mouth. I saw that he was holding a helmet with half missing in his hand, and when he saw Feng Qi looking at him, this person raised the helmet and poured the contents into his mouth.
Goo-dong, goo-dong...... There was a strong smell of blood! He's drinking blood!
The man was ordinary-looking, unkempt, and had a dusty face. The tired state of old age, the appearance of sickness. But his eyes are incomparably bewitching, giving people a strong evil aura and vitality!
His head and body give people a strange feeling of incongruity, and when he looks up to drink blood, his neck is exposed, and a hideous scar can be seen on it!
"Cripple? ……”
Feng Qi tentatively shouted out the word.
"You ...... Come, come to me?! ”
The man threw the helmet, and the liquid inside spilled on the ground, making a stabbing sound, and the ground was dark red, and sure enough, it was blood.
His voice is very hoarse, and his tone is weird, which makes people feel irritated and depressed!
Feng Qi hurriedly concentrated and lifted his breath, and the uncomfortable feeling disappeared.
"Huh...... I didn't expect you to dare to throw yourself into the net! Huh—you were born when you were in the clouds? Ouch, there's a ghost, it must be delicious......"
Feng Qi sneered, seeing the current 'cripple', the sympathy caused by listening to Song Hu talk about the injustice and misery suffered by the cripple was all gone, and was replaced by an extremely strong killing intent!
What is evil and what is evil? This kind of talent is the real great evil!
The 'cripple' tilted his head, licked his lips, and the few drops of blood left on his mouth were swallowed into his throat, and then looked at us, his bewitching eyes lit up, "Nasty breath...... However, the taste of your essence and blood is incomparably delicious...... I'm trying to suck you dry! ”
