Chapter 17: My Corpse

Zhang Dezhu's mystery made me a little uncomfortable, and when I looked around, there was a surge of people around me, and even if someone was watching, I couldn't tell it in a short time.

But I followed Su Xiaomei and they came with me when we entered the city, and it doesn't make much sense to do this now, so I still hide myself as much as possible and follow behind Zhang Dezhu.

He knows his surroundings very well, and after walking out of the square, he entered a supermarket, and when he walked out of the exit, it was a different scene outside, and it was a lot more dilapidated than the glamour outside. Outside, the plaza is filled with well-dressed tourists and casual people, and here are roadside vendors and hurry-looking passers-by who are on the road for their lives.

In stark contrast, it was soon discovered that he was followed by three suspicious people.

Zhang Dezhu still didn't stop, and continued to walk forward, and after passing through the alley, the flow of people became less, and he stopped at this time, made a sign language, and motioned for me to solve the people behind him.

I observed, if I hid in the alley, they could see when they turned around, and when they met, they would inevitably make a noise, and I estimated the distance between the buildings on both sides, and I kicked my feet and climbed up. Hanging high in the air waiting for the people behind to chase after him.

Losing my trace, the people behind seemed a little anxious, chasing after him in a panic, and seeing Zhang Dezhu walking away in the alley, he hesitated and quickly followed, it seemed that he didn't plan to continue to follow, and he wanted to identify himself.

The person who proved that they were following was not Zhang Dezhu, but me.

The four of them walked underneath, and I fell down violently, my palm like a knife, and struck the artery in their neck, and it didn't take much effort to put them down.

I don't dare to kill people in a big city, Su Xiaomei and I don't expect to live a stable life. But just as I was about to chase Zhang Dezhu, I glanced at the chest pocket of their suit and saw a strange sign embroidered on the breast pocket of their suit, two small golden swords crossed, and the lines around them looked like a charm.

I frowned slightly, the logo is definitely not the brand of the suit, is it an organization?

"Chen Xiu, don't delay!" The squad leader waited at the end of the alley, saw that I was still stunned, and shouted from afar. I was suspicious, but I didn't have time to observe carefully, not to mention that Su Xiaomei was alone in the hotel, and I didn't feel at ease.

After I passed, Zhang Dezhu took me around a few more alleys, and in a flash I entered an old residential building, and there was a middle-aged man wearing an old military uniform at the entrance of the building, but the military marks on the clothes were taken, and he was not on active duty.

He opened the door to the first floor, let us in, and looked nervously outside before closing the door. Zhang Dezhu took off his hat at this time, revealing a vicissitudes of life, and asked the middle-aged man with some anxiety: "Are you ready?" ”

The middle-aged man nodded and led us towards the bedroom next to us.

Suddenly a stranger appeared, I hesitated, Zhang Dezhu smiled when he saw this and said: "He is my old comrade-in-arms, Shen Xue has too many people, I can't support it alone, I can only ask him to help!" ”

I nodded, inexplicably remembered Su Xiaomei's words, and touched the dagger on the cuff vigilantly, but after entering, I saw a big hole in the bedroom, in which a cold wind was blowing, and a faint light could be seen.

"This old house was built on top of the morgue of the People's Hospital, and it took me a few days to get it through, and the staff inside were all knocked out, but you only have ten minutes."

Zhang Dezhu's comrades-in-arms spoke very quickly and motioned for us to go in.

Mortuary? The squad leader wants me to see dead people? Could it be Li Chuang and Xu Peng?

I learned the news of their deaths, and I also thought about inquiring about their location, Zhang Dezhu also gave me the address, but not in a province, the two places go back and forth for more than ten days, and it is very inconvenient to take Su Xiaomei, not to mention that their deaths do not prove anything to me, unless the real culprit can be found.

And such a death, the police can't figure it out, let alone me!

Zhang Dezhu didn't hesitate, and jumped directly.

I took a deep breath and jumped along. Below is a basement, the lights are a little dim, Zhang Dezhu should not have been here, keep looking up at the road signs overhead, the two quickly found the morgue, there is a corpse bed parked at the door, there is a corpse on it, and there are two middle-aged men next to it, who were knocked unconscious while working.

The door of the morgue was open, Zhang Dezhu pushed it open and got in, inside were rows of freezers, probably because of the cold leakage, the temperature was much lower than outside, I couldn't help but shiver, and at this time Zhang Dezhu had already opened one of the freezers and motioned me to look.

I suspiciously opened the body bag, and it was Han Jun inside, I chuckled in my heart, and hurried to see the second and third.

The first seven are all members of the accompanying combat squad of the expedition team, and the other is a professor in the expedition team, which impresses me not deeply in the Kunlun Mountains.

Their deaths were expected by me, so I don't think it's strange, and I don't know what Zhang Dezhu's purpose was for me to see.

But then there was it, and when I was over, he suddenly stopped me and said, "It's going to be a little weird when you see it later, you have to be mentally prepared." ”

I have a very good psychological quality, and I have encountered so many strange things in Kunlun Mountain, and I can finally maintain my composure, not to mention that in the special company of engineers, I have seen a lot of strange things, and I believe that I have the ability to bear it.

Seeing me nodding, Zhang Dezhu let go of me, but the moment the body bag was opened, I couldn't help but take two steps back in shock, and stammered: "Shen, Shen, Shenxue!" ”

"That's right!" Zhang Dezhu whispered, not surprised, and continued to open the freezer.

I looked at the row of freezers that had been pulled open, and I felt a chill in my back.

In the second and third freezers were Li Chuang and Xu Peng, and my hanging heart calmed down a little, after all, I knew about their deaths a day ago.

But when the fourth body appeared, I couldn't keep my composure anymore. Later came Liu Tiande, Shen Guojun, Zhang Hu, Gao Chuan...... The penultimate corpse is me.

What's going on?

Zhang Dezhu opened the body bag of the last corpse, laughed twice and said with a self-deprecating laugh: "This is me!" We are all dead, so to speak! These bodies were found in Death Valley. Shen Xue knew about it, but she hid it from you. ”

I felt like I didn't have enough brains, so I slapped myself hard, it hurt, and it hurt.

I wasn't sure yet, so I bit the tip of my tongue hard, and I didn't believe I was alive until I was in severe pain.

But who is the body in the freezer?

"Chen Xiu, I know you can't understand it, and I can't understand it either, but I can be sure that I am a living person, and I am Zhang Dezhu." The squad leader had a hoarse voice, and his eyes were a little bloodshot.

I think the same way he does now.

Zhang Dezhu continued: "I suspect that when we were in Kunlun Mountain, we were contaminated with some mysterious power, and another us appeared, and they died in Kunlun Mountain, and we survived. Shen Xue discovered this power, so she chased and killed us, wanting to take possession of the power in us. ”

His analysis may sound absurd at first glance, but it is entirely possible that this is the case. It's just that I thought of another question, if this kind of power really exists, then I'm afraid it's not just Shen Xue who is peeping, thinking of this, looking at the squad leader's eyes full of vigilance.

Zhang Dezhu said: "The investigation is just a pretense, the real purpose is that force, sixteen people, now that Li Chuang and Xu Peng have been killed, Shen Xue must have obtained the power from them." ”

I frowned slightly, "Since Zhang Hu and Li Chuang have died 'again', there should be two corpses." Do you know where they are? ”

"In Shen Xue's hands, it's a pity that the power behind her is very big, I don't dare to investigate, she hasn't officially guarded you yet, maybe you can get in."

I'm thinking about Zhang Dezhu's proposal, maybe it works. It's just that with Su Xiaomei, it's too risky.

"It's almost time, we need to leave as soon as possible!" Zhang Dezhu motioned for me to go, and his comrades-in-arms pulled us up and went our separate ways. At this time, I grabbed Zhang Dezhu, "Do you know that Shen Xue brought out a black box from Kunlun Mountain, and there was a stone chip in it. I feel like it's ......."

"Really?" Before I finished speaking, Zhang Dezhu excitedly took my hand, he was so strong that it hurt my arm bones.

Realizing his gaffe, Zhang Dezhu adjusted his emotions, coughed dryly and said, "You are right, that is the source of strength, and you can also think of things in the gates of hell." I think our plans need to change, you need to find a way to get close to Shen Xue and get things out of her hands. ”

I nodded, but my heart sank, did he treat me as his own? But for now, I can only say yes.

If I had said that there was a stone chip on my body just now, would Zhang Dezhu have changed his face immediately?

Staring at the squad leader's face, I suddenly had a strange feeling, and suddenly I had a terrible thought, since we all died once, was it "it" with our memories that survived, or was it the original us?

Or is it that part of us is the one we are, but part of it, "that thing" is mixed in?

This thought sent chills down my back and I didn't dare to continue thinking about it.

Right now, I have to find Liu Tiande as soon as possible and get the notebook back from him, what we encountered today must have been recorded by the people back then.

Leaving the residential building, Zhang Dezhu and his comrades-in-arms walked from the side, while I returned the same way, and when I got to the alley, the unconscious person was gone. I felt a little sorry, and I thought I would come back and ask them to find out who they were.

But as long as they are still following, there will always be a chance, and now the most worried is Su Xiaomei, I didn't dare to make any delays, I took a taxi and went straight to the hotel.

It's daylight, it's broad daylight, it's unlikely that a big living person wants to do anything to her, if it's those things, my amulet should be useful.

Thinking of this, I was a little relieved, I knocked on the door and shouted softly, and after a while, the door opened, and a slender girl came out of it, wearing a red dress, exposing her fair calves, and looking at me with a pair of surprised eyes.

At first, I thought I was in the wrong room, but when I looked up, it was our room, and when I looked at it, I realized that the fashionable girl in front of me was Xiaomei.
