Volume 2 The Lake of Ghosts and Corpses Chapter 53 The Community of Man and Beast

I muttered, "Gu Wanling? ”

I seem to have heard of this name, because the surname Gu is not a big surname, and if I knew this person, it would definitely leave an impression.

"Gu Wanling, Gu Wanling, huh? Gu Wanling? Is she Gu Wanling? I looked at the second uncle with wide eyes and disbelief.

The second uncle nodded, sighed and said, "Your second uncle and I regret the most in my life is to take her to that place, otherwise she wouldn't be living like she is now." ”

Actually, I haven't met her, but I've heard her name, from my grandfather's mouth.

Back then, my grandfather had a friend named Gu Huainan, and I heard that he was also a big scoop in Chengdu. He lost his hand during a fight, and later his daughter-in-law remarried, leaving behind a daughter.

At that time, her grandfather remembered her old love and accepted her as a righteous daughter, but when she was twenty years old, she went out with an expedition to investigate, and it is said that when entering a cave, a large area collapsed, and more than a dozen members of the expedition team died inside.

I remember when I was only four or five years old, I often saw my grandfather staring at the sky in a daze, and his mouth kept muttering, saying that he had hurt her.

It's just that I didn't expect to see a person who has been dead for 20 years now, and it has become like this.

The second uncle knew what I was thinking, so he said to me, "Actually, everything is a foregone conclusion, and after she became like this, I bought the yard here and let her live in the basement." If it is known that she is still alive, that force will be out of control. ”

"But the second uncle, she.... How did my aunt become like this, isn't she already dead? ”

I knew it would be awkward to call my aunt to a monster that had no mind, but I couldn't think of anything else for a while.

The second uncle sat on the ground, leaned against the coffin, and said to me, "Chen Baiyan should have told you about Lop Nur, right?" ”

I nodded hurriedly, "But this..."

The second uncle waved his hand and motioned for me to continue listening: "Back then, Gu Wanling followed the expedition to Lop Nur, where they found a huge underground cave.

The cave is inhabited by a species of lizard that can merge with any living creature to form a symbiotic system. ”

I shuddered when I heard this, and hurriedly asked the second uncle: "Fusion, you mean that the lizard can fuse with any creature?" ”

"That's right, they will enter the host's body, and then gradually merge with the host's body to form a kind of human-animal community."

"At that time, the cave suddenly collapsed, and Gu Wanling was smashed by a stone and half of her body, I had to do this to let her survive."

When I heard this, I seemed to understand a little, "You mean, you let Gu Wanling fuse with those lizards, and then it became like this?" ”

"That's pretty much it, but I didn't expect that the lizard after the fusion would dominate, causing her to be unable to think, and now she's a monster. Alas, if I hadn't had such a heavy obsession at that time, maybe she would have been reincarnated a long time ago, and I hurt her. ”

Now I already understand what is going on, although I don't know some of the details yet, but what is certain is that Gu Wanling is a member of the missing expedition back then, and the second uncle must know about that expedition.

"Second uncle, why did Gu Wanling go to Lop Nur back then?"

I have always wondered why, although China had opened up a lot in the 80s, there were still blockades in some special areas, and for ordinary expeditions, there was simply no ability to enter that area at that sensitive time.

The second uncle pondered for a moment and said softly: "At that time, the national construction project base, their expedition team was conducting exploration and investigation, and the expedition team was just a name for the outside world. ”

I don't think the second uncle told me the truth, at that time, Lop Nur was an important place for the state to conduct secret research, if you want to explore and investigate, it is impossible to send a pair of inexperienced people, not to mention that Gu Wanling has not learned professional knowledge in exploration at all, and like this kind of confidential investigation, professional troops and engineers will be dispatched, and it is impossible to use a civilian team of more than a dozen people.

Now I can't debunk the second uncle, so I can only let him analyze it after he finishes speaking, "Second uncle, how could the cave collapse suddenly, unless there is an earthquake or a diversion of the dark river, it is difficult to collapse under such a stable structure, and it is a comprehensive collapse." ”

"This ..... This one.... I don't know, but when I found her, she was buried in a pile of rubble. Later, after the accompanying doctor examined the wound, he said that it was impossible to rescue, the entire spine had been broken, and it was better to let her die early than to live like this. ”

I suddenly felt that the second uncle's eyes were in a trance, as if he was deliberately avoiding something, and suddenly I knew what the problem was, and I asked the second uncle coldly: "Second uncle, how did you appear in that underground cave, and how do you know this method of fusion and symbiosis." ”

After speaking, I stared at the second uncle, and saw that his face suddenly turned white, and there was a trace of panic in his eyes, I have accumulated a lot of experience in the antique business in the past few years, and often a few words can set out a person's reality and reality, and the second uncle's reaction at this time is very abnormal.

I thought that the second uncle was going to continue to lie to me, but suddenly I saw him sigh and feel relieved, and then said to me weakly: "I was the leader of the expedition back then." ”

I stayed there in an instant, I never imagined that it would be such a result, I suspected that the second uncle had been to that place, and even guessed that he might have followed the expedition to get in, but I really couldn't imagine that my old and unscrupulous second uncle was actually their leader.

I secretly screamed in my heart that it was a pity, no wonder the expedition team disappeared mysteriously, and it was not uncommon for such a strange thing to happen to the second uncle.

"But second uncle, why did you take them there?"

"Hey, I handled a batch of pottery from the ancient country of Loulan back then, and there were some strange symbols on it. Later, after I researched it, I found that these are a kind of ciphers, which can be translated as long as they are interpreted according to specific rules.

It took me twenty years to fully decipher it, and it's because of what is hidden in these codes that I went there. ”

I knew that the second uncle had a deep study of some ancient code words and words, but I didn't expect that this old and unserious person could spend twenty years studying a few clay pots, unless there was something hidden in those passwords that even he coveted.

"Second uncle, hurry up, what is it?"

"Jade pendant, a jade pendant that can be mirrored."

I asked my second uncle in surprise: "Is it a Pisces jade pendant?" ”

The second uncle nodded and said: "It's that thing, alas, it's a pity, Lao Tzu spent so much effort back then, but in the end he was put on a side, if I didn't go deeper, even I would have died there." ”
