Chapter 51: The Aftermath of the Catastrophe
Not only me, but even Dongfang and Liu Ran didn't expect her to have so much strength, so they were stunned for a moment, but fortunately, Liu Ran was the first to react and pulled Chen Haidong out of the coffin, and dodged to the side with us.
was lifted by her like this, and the coffin fell to the ground next to us, with a loud bang! There was a splash of dust, and when we looked back at her again, we found that she was gone.
Night, has surrounded us, her appearance is definitely not accidental, and the things she said before.
In the end, I looked at Chen Haidong's snatch, and a thought flashed through my head, but when I tried to grab it, I felt very vague.
Think about it, could all this have been arranged by someone who can predict the prophet, so that we can kill her - before it gets dark.
This person may be the one who gave her where we are now, but I don't know who he really is or how we know what we're doing.
Just now Qianqian mentioned a word - prophet, which gave me a bold revelation, could it be that there are really people in this world who can predict the existence of prophets?
Thinking about it, I feel that things are more complicated, if someone arranged all this, what is the purpose?
Looking back at the two of them, could it be that the person was also like Qianqian, thinking that we had found what they were looking for from the tomb?
Frowning and trying to link these things together, this girl in the dark night changed her original plan after appearing, so that person must think of other ways, we might as well use static braking to lure this person out of the shadows.
But at the moment we don't know at all about this person and where to start looking; Find out where he plans to go next?
When my eyes finally returned to the coffin, my mind was divided into a small disagreement, on the one hand, why this coffin could not have been the work of a girl in the night.
On the other hand, is the purpose of this coffin placed here just to hide Chen Haidong, or...... Borrow his snatch to kill Qianqian, so that another person can monopolize the ontology, or give her a happy result.
But what does what Qianqian said about exchanging things with us mean to me?
Are the memories and mysteries she doesn't understand really mine, and how can she give them back to me?
There are many secrets hidden behind this girl that I don't know, and maybe only by finding the person who instructed her to come here and arranged these things can I have an answer.
In the meantime, I can be sure that this person is not here, because this coffin could not have been placed here today.
As for Chen Haidong, there are two possibilities for him to come out of the tomb, one is that he was brought out by Lao Zhong, and the other is that he was attracted by something.
Liu Ran opened his eyelids and looked at him a few times, saying that he was currently in a state of coma, and he might have been taken by some kind of drug that confuses his mind.
There are many mechanisms in the tomb, but since the mastermind behind the scenes can calculate the time and place where we will come out, he will definitely be able to prepare Chen Haidong and design everything in the coffin, so that things will fall into place.
But later, Dongfang checked the coffin, and only found some very broken stone slag at the bottom of the coffin, and when he got closer, it smelled strange.
I guess these things must have been the brainchild, so we put them away carefully and then went to check the rest of the coffin.
Dongfang is proficient in the art of woodcarving, and after cutting a layer of blood paint on the outside with the tip of a knife, he tastes the unique moisture in the tomb.
After looking at it a few times, Dongfang nodded and found a refutation of Liu Ran's guess just now, "Although this coffin looks very trendy, and it also has the smell of animal rancidity, there is a high probability that it comes from the ancient tomb." But the time is not right, the longest time for this coffin to be built is only ten years, if it is in the ancient tomb, it is not right. ”
"Looking at the design and construction of this tomb, it is at least a hundred or ten years old, if the wood of this coffin is good enough, it will not become like this, and as far as I know, the material of this coffin is locust wood, and the age of the tree is only five or six years, so after a period of time, there will be that strange smell."
As he spoke, he pointed to the corners of the coffin, where there were still a few crevices, which also explained what he had just said.
"If it's not from the tomb, where did the coffin come from?" Liu Ran then asked.
Dongfang shook his head, but then immediately thought of something, "By the way, we don't seem to have seen a coffin in the ancient tomb!" ”
When he said this, I also came to my senses, and confirmed the speculation of the East, but in this way, on the other hand, it also confirmed my bold idea that all this had been known for a long time, and had been arranged for us to see it.
"No," Liu Ran said suddenly, "we only saw half of this tomb, and from the moment we entered, we chose a different path, which Lao Zhong chose." ”
When I think back to the beginning of the tomb, it is true that as she said, we may have only walked through half of the tomb chamber, and the other half, from the time we didn't choose to go through the cave that had been opened, we missed it.
Maybe there will be such coffins there, like those stone platforms we see, in which the souls of the deceased are imprisoned.
We have no way of knowing all this, or this has been arranged for a long time, from the time when Lao Zhong began to make that choice, even from the time we were about to go to the tomb, or from the night when I went to the beach with Chen Haidong and met those bugs, we began to be arranged by the power of the underworld, until now I have seen all this.
The more I thought about it, the more chills I felt, as if in a hive, the kind of insect nest that was annotated by unknown eyes, and my every move was watched by them, even all my thoughts and practices.
Reminiscing about the tombs, I can only use coincidences to perfunctory myself, so that this terrible idea will not continue to spread.
The appearance of this coffin, whether in the tomb or outside, is an unknown result, because we cannot find out who made it.
Walking around the coffin, I felt that there was something strange about the red paint, and I scraped some of it off with the tip of a knife, and when I came to my nose, I could vaguely smell a damp smell, but when I closed my eyes and looked for it carefully, there would be a faint smell of blood.
The blood gave me a cold feeling, it should not be human, but it looked like some kind of cold-blooded animal, could this coffin be misleading.
Just like Liu Ran thinks, the person behind the scenes poured blood on the coffin in order to make us think that it was dug up from the ancient tomb.
Around the coffin, they are still struggling with the provenance of the coffin, but I am also skeptical of their claims, because they have not seen what happened with their own eyes.
While talking, Liu Ran suddenly asked me again, "What is the relationship between you and that girl, she looks strange!" ”
After she asked, Dongfang also reacted, just now he was only concerned about the problem of the coffin, but forgot to ask about the girl before.
I thought about it and took a deep breath, and the memories that followed were like the night breeze around me, "That girl is the Qianqian I told you, she has a very severe split personality, she is one person during the day, and she will become another person at night. However, she herself thinks that it is because there is another soul living in her body, and the two of them are like the poles of a battery, existing and repelling each other. ”
Like she said, I thought everything was gone and gone, but I didn't expect that here, we could still meet each other.
After listening to me, Dongfang and Liu Ran glanced at each other, as if they wanted to speak and stopped, and finally Liu Ran said, "Maybe it's really just that she has a problem, you don't have to think about that, there are many things in the world that we can't understand, whether it's true or not, it just depends on what we think." ”
I smiled wryly, and didn't want to continue the discussion with her, because I felt that I would come up with all kinds of possibilities to embarrass myself.
At present, the most important thing is the coffin in front of him, but I don't know its origin, so I can only wait for Chen Haidong to wake up and ask him, maybe he can provide any useful clues.
While waiting, we were not idle, but began to look for the string of shoe prints left by Chen Haidong.
By this time, it was already completely dark, so we had to take out our flashlights and follow these shoe prints little by little, looking for them in the distance.
Finally, at the end of these shoe prints, we found some traces.
It was a bloodstain, and depending on the degree of dryness, even if it dripped here today, it was also likely to be Chen Haidong's.
But the strange thing is that we are in the coffin, on Chen Haidong's body, but we didn't find any wounds on his body at all!
The blood stain was very large, and it seemed that someone had stopped here for a long time, but the shoe prints on the ground had stopped there.
We didn't give up, we always felt that the shoe prints would appear again, but after walking some distance along a mountain road, we still didn't find any exit for Chen Haidong to come out of the tomb.
We didn't find much on the way, so we had to split up and look for the neighborhood, and if we found anything, we immediately let everyone meet.
After dark, it is not easy to find, and there are many trees here, if you want to find those shoe prints just now, I am afraid that you will not be able to see them for a long time.
From this, the direction we are looking for is a little complicated, looking at the bloodstains, it may be that the person who brought Chen Haidong over was injured, and this person is likely to be the old clock, so we follow the bloodstains and look for clues that the old bell may leave us in the radioactive area nearby.
