Chapter Seventy-Six: An Unexpected Discovery
However, what really attracted Chen Yun's attention was not the photo, but a small record book pressed under the photo, written in Japanese, the paper was yellow, and the handwriting on it was still legible, but unfortunately I didn't understand Japanese, so I could only squat down and ask Chen Yun, do you understand?
Chen Yun finally encountered something that he couldn't do, frowned and said I don't understand, but looking at the picture above, it should be a topographic map of the ancient tomb and the ruins of the Kwantung Army. Didn't I say that the tomb was always moving, and if so, what could this fixed topographic map do?
Chen Yun said yes, maybe that's why they were trapped and died here, but it's impossible to say, you see, the short knife of another Japanese soldier is unsheathed, could it be that they also fought with someone before they died?
I said it was all decades ago, and what is the use of studying the causes of death of these Japanese soldiers, but the topographic map on it can be left behind, and maybe it can help us find the ruins of the Kwantung Army.
Since the beginning of the tomb, we have been taking a fork in the road, not to mention the ruins of the Kwantung Army, it is a question of whether we can even get out alive, but Chen Yun has a part of the topographic map in the palm of his hand, which is not a good thing for us, as long as we can leave this mysterious tomb, it should not be difficult to find the exit.
Perhaps because the corpse had been turned over by Chen Yun, the corpse on the ground could not keep its balance, and I was just about to stand up when the corpse moved on its own, startling us. We thought it was a corpse, but the corpse was soon fixed there on the ground again, like a stinky salted fish, but I noticed that the moment the corpse moved earlier, it seemed to suddenly make some small sound.
It was a subtle sound of metal grinding, and it was a strange sound, and I wondered how it could be in a person who had been dead for decades.
The curiosity in my heart prompted me to decide to study it, and then I carefully stretched out my foot and stepped lightly on my body, and sure enough, I found that the inside of his clothes looked like a hard thing, and the moment my foot was released, I felt the hard thing move.
I was shocked, damn it, there must be some ghost in his corpse, right?
Chen Yun said, "Don't kick him too hard, after the corpse decomposes, there will be corpse qi in the stomach and it will be in a state of expansion, beware of him exploding." ”
I said to Chen Yun, "No, I have to check again, there seems to be something on him." Chen Yunzhi frowned and said that I had checked just now and found nothing.
I pointed to the corpses and said, don't you think it's strange? The Anti-Japanese War ended in 45 years, and these corpses have been here for at least 50 years, why they haven't completely decomposed for more than 50 years, I think, it is very likely to have something to do with the contents of their stomachs.
After saying this, I didn't care about her, and used a yellow cloth to gently untie the corpse's clothes, and then touched the inner lining of the corpse's clothes, well, there was a hard thing.
While I was still carefully discerning what kind of thing it was, suddenly the thing moved again, and I immediately shouted to hold the grass, which frightened me into two steps back, and my heart almost jumped out of my throat.
The thing in the corpse's body was cold and cold, and sometimes it moved, and it didn't beat fast, but it was like a human heart, and it would beat a few times occasionally. Chen Yun's face changed, and she grabbed me and was about to leave, but I grabbed her with my backhand and said You go farther and let me come by myself.
Seeing that I was so persistent, Chen Yun was very helpless, and said Why do you have to take care of the contents of a dead corpse's stomach?
I looked at Chen Yun and felt that this kind of words came out of her mouth, it couldn't help but be a little strange, ordinary people will naturally subconsciously avoid anything weird, but I firmly believe that Chen Yun will not, this woman's curiosity is heavier than anyone else's, why is she stopping me now?
Are you really scared? But when I look at her expression, it doesn't look like she's particularly scared.
At this time, I took out a dagger, waved my hand at Chen Yun, asked her to step back first, and then used the dagger to gently cut the corpse's clothes, and opened a hole in the lining of the clothes, and at this moment, a snake-like thing slipped out.
This thing made a metallic friction sound on the floor, and when the brush pulled, it had rolled half a meter away, I was startled, and subconsciously waved the dagger and slashed at it, but Chen Yun's voice came from my ears, don't move......
My face was frightened, the dagger that had been split out stayed in mid-air, and when I looked at it again, my eyes suddenly flickered, and I actually saw a pocket watch, and I could vaguely hear the sound of "click".
"This is a pocket watch?" I frowned, leaned over cautiously, picked up the watch chain with a dagger, looked at it in front of me, then nodded, and handed the pocket watch to Chen Yun, saying that the quality of this pocket watch is so good, it is still turning after decades?
Chen Yun shook his head at the iron sheet on the outside of the pocket watch and said no, this is not the sound of the clockwork turning at all, it is when the corpse moves, something inside also moves, no, you pry open the iron sheet outside, there must be no clockwork inside.
I was skeptical of Chen Yun's statement, so I quickly squatted down, stepped on the outer cover of the pocket watch with my foot, gently pried open the outer skin with a dagger, and then squatted down to take a look, and sure enough, there was a bunch of metal keys lying in the pop-up pocket watch.
"It's the key!" I covered it with a yellow cloth, picked up the metal key, looked around at it, and said that this Japanese devil was really shrewd, hollowed out the metal spring in his pocket watch, and hid this small key inside, if I hadn't had an extra eye, I really wouldn't have found it.
Chen Yun said, "This person cherishes this key so much that he even did not hesitate to destroy a pocket watch, as a disguise, during World War II, a pocket watch like this was very valuable, which shows that this key is very precious." ”
I guessed, "Could this key be the key to a certain door in the Kwantung Army's underground base?" Chen Yun said that it was very possible, and then she stretched out her hand to me and said Sima Nan, hand it over to me for safekeeping, do you have no opinion?
I said of course no problem. As he spoke, he handed her the key, and Chen Yun wrapped the key with the cloth and carefully put it in his pocket.
I grabbed the Japanese saber and stood up, took it in my hand and chopped it, I thought it was very easy to use, the Japanese saber was well-made, and it was a World War II item, maybe it could be sold for a good price outside, I was reluctant to let it go, so I wrapped it and pinned it to my waist.
Chen Yun naturally foresaw my movements, just frowned, but didn't say anything, after all, this is not something of archaeological value, so he turned on the flashlight and continued to walk in front.
