Fifty-seven, watchtower

"No, since it is said that this is a building of the Yi people, does it mean that the original Yelang people are the current Yi people?"

I breathed a sigh of relief, I didn't expect Professor Zhuo to say this, but when is this time damn, how can you still think about your academic research.

Professor Zhuo said as he walked, "If history is really like this, then the mystery of the disappearance of the Yelang people in the first place will be solved. ”

Men Yuebin was also helpless, and stepped forward to persuade him: "My brother, can you think about serious things first?" Like how do we get out? Where the hell is this place? ”

Professor Zhuo was not happy when he heard it, and said Isn't this just a serious matter? Now I'm analyzing the culture here, otherwise we might not even be able to find the road, and I have a high probability that outside this watchtower is the underground village of the Yelang people.

Menyue Bin was confused by this old man, and he didn't bother to say more for a while, and a few of us went to the watchhole of the watchtower, and through the hole, we saw that it was an ordinary house, with a bed, a wardrobe, and a table, and these things fell to the ground horizontally.

Got into it one after another, and everyone turned on the flashlights in all directions. Because of the collapse, the floor here has been squeezed and deformed, a large number of wood chips and huge floors, skylight holes all over this floor, because it is the lowest floor, so the damage here is the most serious, countless beds are stuck in the cracks in the ground, and countless wooden slabs collapse in the middle of the house.

After passing through the layers of masonry and earth tiles, it didn't take long for us to reach the lowest level of this watchtower, where the bookcases and bedside tables were scattered all over the ground, and the contents of the upper floors had also fallen here because of the collapse of the hollow, in addition to several corpses lying on the ground, their faces were blank as if they had been dug out by something, and their limbs were also mutilated, that is, the clothes could be identified.

Seeing this, I suddenly thought of the corpses that hung in front of the wooden house tree, which should also be an illusion, and with the disappearance of the wooden house, the corpses were gone, but the smell was still there. So where do those smells come from? Just as I was thinking about it, I smelled a strong smell on the tip of my nose.

"Here!" Professor Zhuo's old guy had a sharper nose than me, and walked to a corner of a wall buried by broken bricks, and lifted a few bricks to reveal a pair of human legs.

"The smell is familiar." As the bricks and tiles were broken, the smell became even stronger, and everyone present could smell it. At first, in the tomb, almost all of them were filled with this smell, and this smell is indescribable, not so rushing, like durian, which is relatively easy to accept, so after we went in, we slowly did not resist the smell. Now he suddenly asked this question, and he noticed it at once.

Menyue Bin stood far away from the corpse, turning on the flashlight from a distance, and I followed the flashlight to see that the man's feet had been gnawed off, and the soles of his feet seemed to be bitten off. And over there, with the efforts of Professor Zhuo and Qin Ge, the body was cleaned up, and it was a Japanese holding a stone statue, the Japanese was carrying a satchel, and the smell came from the body of the stone statue.

"What the hell it smells, I'm hungry when I smell it." Qin Ge took down the stone statue, and the corpse was slowly revealed in front of us, compared to the other corpses, this corpse was well preserved. That is, except for the soles of the feet.

"This guy is starving." Professor Zhuo put his hand against the bones of the corpse and said, "The body is extremely thin and the skin is rough, almost sticking to the bones and turning into a piece of paper. ”

Menyue Bin said: "That's not it, my feet are bitten off, can I not die?" ”

In fact, Professor Zhuo has already explained the problem in great detail, since this guy can keep his body intact in a place where there are many monsters, and he is still starving to death, it is enough to explain everything. Thinking back to the medical tent of the Japanese army that I passed by before, and the tomb full of kneeling stone statues, the problem is in this stone statue, the Japanese army must have discovered something, so they built a base in that place, and frantically carried the stone statues. In other words, the smell emanating from the stone statues allowed them to hide from monsters in human skin.

"No, this stone statue is not made of stone, why is it so light?" Professor Zhuo lifted the stone statue and actually hugged it.

Menyue Bin was surprised when he saw it, and hurriedly ran over, flashlight shone on the body of the stone statue, looked at it for a while and realized that "This is not a stone statue, this is a person!" ”

Person? Are you crazy? I said that I have also seen this stone statue, how can I not tell the difference between a stone and a man?

Menyue Bin walked over with the stone statue in his arms, and when he flashed his flashlight inside, I saw that the surface of the stone statue was actually transparent, and there was really a corpse inside.

Professor Zhuo said that the outside of the corpse should be wrapped in a layer of oars, similar to the way ancient Egyptian mummies are made, the internal organs of the deceased are hollowed out, some spices are stuffed inside, and then sealed with mud, so that the aroma will come out through the mud one after another. And these scents seem to resist the invasion of those creatures in the dark.

As he spoke, he used his gun to bring over the Japanese man's satchel. I rummaged through my backpack and there was only one diary in it.

"What's in the diary?" I'm very concerned about this, this is the record I have been looking for when I entered the Japanese underground base, because only through their records can we know what happened to this place back then, and why it is like this.

Professor Zhuo opened the notebook, and sure enough, it was a booklet that recorded the marching schedule, which contained the daily events in addition to time, and then he selected the more important ones to talk to us.

There is indeed an independent world hidden in the fog of this stone gate, the Japanese army called it "X", in the world of X, time and space are unstable, sometimes you can see yourself yesterday, and even walk into the forest from the camp, and then there will be a camp in front of you. And in this world, slowly the Japanese found its source, that is, underground, under the ground the Japanese walked through a tunnel and found a village, there were no living people in the village, and at the end of the village, there was a mountain crack, the record in the village was a ghost cave, a very magical place, if you throw the dead into the ghost cave, soon there will be living people coming out of it. Exactly the same, no difference.

Then they thought that if this place was developed, wouldn't it be the perpetual combat power of war to throw those who were seriously wounded on the front line into it, and then exchange it for the living to come out? That's why it's at great risk to set up such a large-scale medical tent in this place. But as the tent was erected, something strange happened underground, someone heard the sound of someone talking underground, and then saw ghosts running through the cracks.

The ghosts speak human language and can walk upright in the dark, and if you are caught by it, they will be dragged into a fantasy called "α", where what you imagine will appear. And not only that, the person who is dragged into the environment will be torn open from the skin of the person, and the bones will be removed, and then the person will be replaced. At first, only a few people died, then more and more people died, and death was inevitable. However, they found a stone statue at the entrance to the underground village that could ward off the ghost.

"The account stops here, and as we can see, they were attacked while preparing to carry the statues, and they all died.

There is also a photograph on the back of the diary, a black-and-white photograph of several Japanese officers in the group.

I was holding the picture in my hand, and my mind was not on the mustachioed Japs, but on the ghost cave that brought the dead back to life as mentioned in the notebook.

Is there really such a magical place in the world?

"That's not right!" At this time, Menyue Bin shouted: "Are we getting farther and farther away from our original intention now?" Isn't our goal to find the tomb? ”

Professor Zhuo was quick to change, and immediately changed his mind and said that the rubble was not necessarily from the ancient tombs, but also from the walls and tiles in the village, and that when ancient people built houses, they would also carve patterns on the bricks and tiles for peace.

I secretly gave this shit guy a thumbs up, and this fart will come as soon as he opens his mouth. The kind that doesn't blush.,When you come, you swear by it.,This time it immediately overturned the previous statement.。

"Isn't that right? It is written in this record book that there is a ghost cave at the end of the village, so could it be that we will get out of the ghost cave at that time? ”

Professor Zhuo's task now is to stabilize his position, and he was not happy when he heard that I raised the bar for him: "I said Xiao Sheng, you didn't say that. No one in the village knows what it is, so maybe there's a way to the outside? You also saw those Japanese soldiers still coming in and out of this place. ”

Hey, I'm blown up when I hear it, what do you mean by not me saying that, does he think this is a park? I think the current situation is completely caused by this guy, blindly leading the way, causing us to walk into this place, and now there is no way to go to heaven and no door to earth.

"Fart you!" I was furious, "You're good, you still know that you blame me for being uneducated, I tell you, if you can't find a way out later, I'll throw you out and feed the ghosts." ”

I don't know why, I suddenly exploded emotionally, and pointed at Professor Zhuo without backing down at all.

"Okay, okay, stop arguing, the situation is not good now, everyone is angry in their hearts, don't mess around in this kind of place." Qin Ge was clever and hurriedly ran out to be a peacemaker.

But anyway, now I have completely lost my affection for this Professor Zhuo, and the clues he pointed out along the way are all wrong, from the world called Xian Yan to the problem of the beast's head.

"Forget it!" At this time, Menyue Bin also ran over to play the round!

I waved my hand, too lazy to talk to these theories, squeezed through a gap made of rocks, and moved my position slowly towards the "door".

It was a broken door that had been squeezed and deformed, the door was very large, and I could see a few pieces of gauze falling on the lintel in the middle, it was the gauze curtain of the ancients, the gauze curtain was broken like a cracked glass, and it was broken when the hand touched it.

I peeked through the crack in the door and found that it was a huge village just as described in the records.

After a while, Men Yuebin chased him out, and he said Don't be so angry, brother, you are claustrophobic space anxiety, you have to learn to self-regulate!

"I'm a. If we don't go out, we all have to die here, do you think that when the Japanese army came, so many people died, and there were only a few of us, do you think it is enough to stuff those things? ”
