Chapter 9: The One-Eyed Infant Corpse
After the thunder, the rain poured down, dark clouds covered the sky, and the stone house, which had no light, was even more dim at this time, and it was impossible to see the surrounding scene clearly, only the skeleton beetles outside the door seemed to grow in the rain again, buzzing and gathering more.
"What can I do about this?" Su Su was the first to cry, and the sound of those raindrops falling to the ground sounded like a life-urging song from the underworld at this time.
Fang Rui and Ni Zhiwei took out flashlights to illuminate the stone house, and there was nothing in the whole room, only the bluestone slabs on the ground looked smooth and clear. Old man Xu was so frightened that he sat on the ground, muttering something in his mouth. Li Lei still forced himself to look around the room calmly, not knowing what he was looking for.
"Li Lei, what are you looking for?" Ni Zhiwei couldn't help but ask.
"Those bugs don't dare to come in, it means that there must be something in this room that they are taboo about, and I want to find it." Li Lei explained.
"But there's nothing here!" Ni Zhiwei said a little discouraged.
"Don't you still have these bluestone slabs!" Fang Rui was also thought that there must be something hidden in this house when Li Lei said this, these bluestone slabs can shine brightly, indicating that they must be often trampled on before they look like this.
Li Lei listened to Fang Rui's words, and immediately walked over from the wall, and when he left, he used his strength to step on those bluestone slabs, Fang Rui shone the flashlight on the ground, squatted on the ground and took a closer look, and sure enough, he saw a little doorway.
"Look at the center." Fang Rui pointed to the floor in the middle of the house, and saw that the few bluestone slabs there were slightly different from the surrounding bluestone slabs, not rectangular, but strangely put together into a gossip figure.
"Grab your flashlight." Fang Rui immediately handed the flashlight to Sun Xiaoxiao next to him, and then took out a Swiss Army knife and inserted it into the gap between the bluestone slabs.
Li Lei was not idle, he also took out a fruit knife from Ni Zhiwei's backpack, followed Fang Rui's example, and inserted the knife into the gap between the bluestone slabs. It took a lot of effort for the two to cut the gap between the gossip-shaped bluestone slab and the surrounding bluestone slabs, and then used a knife to pry up one of the gossip-shaped bluestone slabs.
The four men finally pried open a bluestone slab with the joint efforts of the four men, and after prying open a piece, the rest was naturally much more convenient. At this time, Old Man Xu had already stood up from the ground and walked over, and when he saw that they were dismantling all the bluestone slabs, he hurriedly stopped: "What are you doing here?" What is sealed under the gossip, can it be released casually? โ
"Uncle Xu, there must be something in this room that can make the insects outside afraid of them so they don't fly in. We have to find it, or are we really waiting for these bugs to eat us? Li Lei replied while the work in his hand did not stop, and the last bluestone slab was dragged aside by him and Ni Zhiwei.
"Even if there's something, I can't care about it right now." Fang Rui patted Old Man Xu on the shoulder to comfort him.
Old man Xu wanted to say something, but he turned his head to look at the skeleton beetles outside the house and couldn't say anything.
After the gossip-shaped bluestone slab was completely removed, there was black and reddish soil underneath, Fang Rui touched it and smelled the soil, there was a strong fishy smell. Although the smell was extremely fishy and instantly permeated the entire stone house, it was obvious that the skeleton beetles outside the house actually flew back a meter in unison.
"It works, it really works!" Su Su also saw this scene and cried out happily in his heart.
Fang Rui, Li Lei, Sun Xiaoxiao and Ni Zhiwei saw that just prying open the bluestone slab could make the insects retreat, and they immediately came to the strength, and they found a few things and began to dig the soil. The more you dig down, the stronger the smell becomes, and everyone can only breathe with their mouths, but this smell not only smells disgusting, but also feels like a tumultuous stomach when you breathe through your mouth. Ni Zhiwei was the first to be smoked, put down the tools in his hand, lay to the side and vomited repeatedly, Sun Xiaoxiao couldn't help the churning in his stomach when he vomited like this, and he vomited out the tools in his hand before he had time to put them down.
Fang Rui and Li Lei endured the fishy smell and dug down, and the sticky blood mixed with the black soil became more and more wet and became more and more wet. Suddenly, Fang Rui felt that the tools under his hand seemed to have touched something, and after digging out some soil with his hands, a small hand appeared from the soil.
"Ah~~!" Su Su was so frightened that he took several steps back.
Li Lei wiped the corners of his mouth, forced the desire to vomit over, and helped Fang Rui remove some of the soil around his little hands.
How.... How a... Infant? Fang Rui didn't expect that what was buried in the soil was actually a baby corpse, its skin was terrifyingly white, and there were blue-black meridian lines on it. The baby's head is facing down, and the face can't be seen clearly, this has been buried for a long time, why is there not the slightest sign of decay?
Continuing to clear the soil, Fang Rui and Li Lei became more and more frightened, where is this baby's corpse? It's a bunch of them! The corpses of these babies were clumped into a ball and buried in the earth, all of them were pale with bluish and black meridian lines on their skin, and it was obvious that these babies were all deformed. Some are missing an arm, some are missing a leg, some have a huge arm growing out of their backs, some have two legs together like a mermaid, and what is even more terrifying is that one eye has been gouged out of their faces, leaving a small black hole.
At this time, Li Lei was already so frightened that he shrank aside and didn't dare to come out, only Fang Rui was left to pull a baby corpse off the corpse ball, the baby corpse's tentacles were cold but there was still a trace of elasticity, and it still didn't rot after being buried in the ground for many years. After removing the three infant corpses, Fang Rui finally saw the contents of the corpse ball clearly, and his hands and feet trembled even more. It was also a baby corpse, but the baby's hands and feet were intact and not deformed, but the biggest deformity was that there was only one eye on its face, which grew in the center of the eyebrows, and this eye had no eyelids so it was always open, and it stared at Fang Rui in a daze, as if it was angrily accusing him of disturbing its long-term peace.
"What's inside?" Li Lei asked the questions in the hearts of the others, because of the angle problem, only Fang Rui could see the contents of the corpse ball clearly.
Fang Rui settled down, and kept telling himself in his heart not to be afraid, my brother is a person who is a 'mixed' person! The one-eyed infant corpse's hands were clasped together as if grasping something, Fang Rui reached in and pulled it away, and a small red bead fell into Fang Rui's palm.
"What is this?" Li Lei saw Fang Rui take out a red thing from the corpse ball, and hurriedly asked.
Fang Rui didn't speak, he spread out his palm, and a red bead appeared in front of everyone's eyes, the bead was crystal clear like the most precious pigeon's blood ruby, but the middle of this ruby was a little black, as if it was a bloody eye.
"It's beautiful!" Su Su was a woman in the end, and when she saw something shiny like a gem, she forgot anything terrifying, staring at the bloody eyeballs on Fang Rui's hand with her eyes shining.
At the same time, the skeletal beetles outside the house made a buzzing sound and faded away like a tide, and they all flew away in the blink of an eye, leaving only the heavy rain outside the house still pouring down, covering everything in the world with a veil.
"They must have been afraid of the bead and gone! That's great! Ni Zhiwei shouted excitedly.
Fang Rui and the others all breathed a sigh of relief, sure enough, all things are born to restrain each other, although I don't know why these insects are afraid of this bead, but it is always fortunate to be able to scare them away.
Standing up straight, Fang Rui said to the others: "Let's wait for the rain to stop and go back quickly!" โ
"Okay!" Everyone immediately nodded, this kind of ghost place really didn't want to stay for a moment.
Just when everyone thought that the danger was over, the whole stone house suddenly began to shake, and the ground began to shake, as if it had been an earthquake. Everyone couldn't stand still and fell to the ground and exclaimed, the bloody eyes in Fang Rui's hand suddenly emitted a dazzling red light, everyone only felt that a red light flashed in front of them, the ground of the stone house collapsed, and everyone fellใใใใใ
