Chapter 53: Underground Sacrifices

Not long after, several police cars arrived, fortunately, Li Xiaoxia's identity was in front of them, and just as the two sides were negotiating, seven or eight black SUVs also arrived.

As soon as the hat of the Academy of Sciences was pressed, they immediately took over the investigation of the place, and the black-clothed guards set up a cordon outside, and the police retreated safely.

The people in the community were alarmed, and onlookers from all walks of life watched the live broadcasts in an endless stream.

At this time, the military personnel also arrived, but since the Academy of Sciences was here, the investigation was still led by the Academy of Sciences.

The upgrade trip that was originally carried out privately turned into an alien spirit investigation involving all parties, and Shi Yan was also very depressed.

He couldn't help but groan in his heart, his upgrade journey had never been smooth, and he was still stuck at level 1.

After hearing Shi Yan's words, the three elders gathered around the dug up corpse with great interest and observed.

"I have also heard of this case, it was Xiao Zhang and Xiao Li who came to investigate, and then there was an accidental danger, for the sake of insurance, it was required to confirm the safety before coming, but who dares to say that it is safe to be sure of this matter? It just dragged on. Wu Lao said, although Wu Lao is not in this field, but after all, he is in the same Academy of Sciences, and it is not surprising to hear the news.

"Why don't these three bones have heads?" Zhang Lao said strangely.

There were three skeletons in the ground, two large and one small, but none of them had heads.

"Judging from the bones, these two big bones are a man and a woman, and it seems that it is really possible that they are Li Lizhen's family." Li Lao said after careful observation.

Looking at everyone's puzzled eyes, he smiled and said: "I usually like to read crime-solving novels, so I have also studied some things, and it is not difficult to judge gender from bones, of course, everything is subject to forensics, I just have a personal opinion." ”

Wu Lao nodded and said, "Let's assume that your conclusion is right, this is Li Lizhen's family, so the question is, where are their heads?" Is this the origin of the shadow they call it? ”

Zhang Lao pondered for a while and said: "Generally speaking, the corpses on the heads will not be buried separately, even after the heads are cut off in ancient times, they will be buried together, unless the head has another purpose, such as showing the public." ”

Li Lao also nodded and said: "I agree with Zhang Lao's statement, this head must have some kind of use, so the head will be buried." ”

Wu Lao asked, "What use will that be?" ”

"Sacrifices, demonstrations, some kind of ritual or something." Zhang Lao replied.

Wu Lao nodded and said, "It's very likely." ”

Elder Li suddenly turned to Li Xiaoxia and asked, "When you accompanied Xiao Li and the two of them to the Li family's mansion to investigate, did you find any altars, incense cases, or places where rituals can be performed?" ”

Li Xiaoxia pondered for a while and said: "There seems to be such a place, in the cellar in the backyard of the house, there are a lot of tablets and incense cases and other things. ”

When Li Lao heard this, his eyes lit up and said, "It should be that place." ”

A few immediately rushed back to the Li family's house by car, and the police and guards had already arrived first and searched it.

Shi Yan and the others, led by Li Xiaoxia, came to a small room in the backyard, which contained some simple tables, chairs and a bed.

Li Xiaoxia pushed the bed away and pressed it on the wall, and a dark hole appeared in the corner.

Li Xiaoxia turned on the flashlight and was about to go down, when Zhang Lao suddenly said, "Wait a minute, let it go down." ”

Li Xiaoxia smiled and said, "It's okay, the ventilation system below is very good, but you wait for us to find out the situation before coming down." ”

Then Shi Yan and an awakened escort followed Li Xiaoxia into the cave, the hole was not deep, and it was about ten meters down to the end, and then walked along a long passage for hundreds of meters to an open hall.

The hall was empty, except for a large stone case at the end of the hall, on which was a solitary copper incense burner.

The stone case is dark black, which is the color of blood stains that have been soaked for a long time and precipitated.

On the wall in front of the stone case, the skeleton of a cow's head hangs, which seems to be worshipping the cow.

The air in the hall is not muddy, and there is even a feeling of a breeze blowing, indicating that the ventilation system is very good.

The guards who came down with them also took out their instruments and measured them for a long time, as if to test whether there would be toxins or radiation in the air.

After making sure it was safe, the three elders entered the underground hall surrounded by guards.

As soon as the three elders came in, they were attracted by the stone case and the cow bones, and they were all carefully observing and figuring out.

Shi Yan was also inspecting the entire hall, but after looking at everything, he didn't find anything unusual.

Looking for the dark spirit, you can't see anything from the surface, and while everyone is not paying attention, Shi Yan picked up the "Eye of the Dead", and the pupils of his eyes turned into two green flames.

In the vision of the Eye of the Dead, the whole picture is different again, and a circle of qi appears on everyone's body, and these qi are all white.

But the aura of the awakened is whiter and thicker, and the aura is stronger.

Suddenly, Shi Yan discovered a detail, the qi of the awakened is layered, like Li Xiaoxia's white qi is only one layer, and the white qi of the two personal guards beside the third elder is two layers, and his own white qi is three layers.

This is exactly the same as the strength of each person, doesn't this mean that you can see the strength of others! Very useful abilities.

Shi Yan was constantly checking the strength of each person, when suddenly a very thin black line appeared in his sight, and he hurriedly concentrated his attention to find the source of the black line.

Following the tiny, almost imperceptible black line, Shi Yan came to the left wall, a granite wall made of hand-cut granite.

Shi Yan stared intently at the granite wall, and after more than two minutes, another imperceptible black line floated out from the crack in the wall below.

Got you.

Shi Yan shouted, "Everyone stand back." ”

For a while, no one knew what was happening, but out of professional habits, the guards immediately escorted the three elders to the entrance of the hall, and they could evacuate at any time.

He nodded to Li Xiaoxia again, and the latter stepped back.

Shi Yan stared at the wall, and the red mist on his eyebrows was slightly released, and the others couldn't notice it at all.

The blood qi of the whole body suddenly turned back, and a faint golden light appeared on his body, Shi Yan suddenly punched out, hitting the granite wall hard, the rock shattered, the gravel dust splashed, and after a while, the dust dissipated.

The walls had long since shattered, revealing a deep dark hole behind it.

Shi Yan didn't stop, he went directly into the cave, and left a sentence: "Don't come in yet, I'll go and explore the way." ”

As soon as Li Xiaoxia had time to say something, Shi Yan had already disappeared into the cave.

After Shi Yan entered the black hole, the red mist instantly erupted and enveloped his whole body, and he was not careful, but strode forward and rushed quickly.

It's a passageway, it's not tall, it's shorter than normal, you have to bend over, and after walking for a short time, you reach a hall.

This hall is smaller than the one in front, and in the center of the hall is a large stone platform on which a small but peculiar skeleton rests.

The stone platform is surrounded by human bones, and I really don't know how many people died to pile up such a thick layer.
