Chapter 6: The Melted Corpse

Behind the altar, there were many fragmentary idols scattered on the ground.

Spreading all the way down from the top of the Dharma platform, the statues of the common gods of Buddhism and Taoism, which can be seen almost everywhere, have been smashed into broken pieces.

And at the very bottom of the Dharma platform, there is a place that resembles a small square.

The whole is rectangular, as long as the Dharma Table, and about as wide as the Dharma Altar, since we are directly facing the front of the Dharma Altar, so I still just know all this behind the scenes.

But none of that matters.

In this small square paved with white marble, there are piles of peeled skin...... No....... It should be a corpse that has been melted away from the skin and flesh has been melted away!

The corpses looked like adults, men and women, more than a dozen, and they were piled up like small hills against the edge of the altar.

The bones of the corpse showed signs of severe wear and tear, not as if they had been melted, and the uneven surface edges looked like they had been eaten by something.

And the internal organs of these corpses have long since disappeared.

The skull of the corpse was the most severely melted, all the flesh and blood were gone, and the surface of the bones was covered with a layer of pale green pus.

Although their skulls were still intact and unbroken, my intuition told me that their heads were all empty shells, and that their brains were probably missing like the internal organs.

The only thing that remained in the skulls of the dead bodies was the eyeballs.

This is also what makes me feel very puzzled, how did something as fragile as the eyeball escape this "melting disaster"?

When I saw these strangely shaped corpses, my first reaction was...... Those who were sent by Situ to stay at the scene should be them.

Even if the flesh on their faces was gone, I could see it in the last eyeballs they had...... I saw that fear that I couldn't understand or describe.

What melted them? When did these people happen?

These are all things that I don't understand, and it's also a difficult problem that I can't get an answer to for the time being.

It's no exaggeration to say that I didn't even feel nauseous, I just felt scared.

The nearest corpse was only two meters away, and its face was still facing me, and its lifeless eyes seemed to be watching me and begging me for help.......

The kind of scene that you don't have in hell, only a scene that exists in nightmares, is enough to make me forget this scene for a long time.

The rat seemed to be frightened stupidly, its body kept shaking, and it didn't even dare to shrink its head, and finally I took it into my arms, and it came to its senses.

Just as I was holding the rat tightly and leaning my back against the Dharma platform, the continuous chewing sound seemed to start to gradually increase, becoming more and more clear, like something that made a sound...... You're getting closer to me?!

I and the rat could hear that the chewing sound was in the same place where we had seen the corpse, in the small square directly behind the altar.

But we have just seen clearly, except for these corpses, there is basically nothing, there is nothing in the small square.

Thinking of this, I put the rat on the ground, grasped the pendant in my hand, and slowly stretched my head out with it, and glanced at the back of the altar.

It was only when I looked at it that something seemed to be wriggling behind the pile of corpses.

It seems to be hiding in a pile of corpses, and when it moves, it moves even with the corpses on top.

I don't know what was hidden in the pile of corpses, but I could figure it out on my toes that it wasn't a good thing, it was probably .......

"Hee-hee."

Suddenly, an extremely crisp child's laughter came from the pile of corpses.

Immediately, the pile of corpses squirmed violently a few times, and on the side where we could directly see, a thin and withered little hand stretched out from the pile without warning, pointing straight at us.

It's really not an exaggeration, that hand is indeed pointing at us, just like when the old man scolds, he likes to point at people's noses and scold his mother.

The arm was a child's at first glance, so thin that no flesh could be seen, as if only skin was wrapped around the bones.

But the strange thing is that the skin is also like something has melted away, and it is a bloody patch, full of rotten flesh.

Before I could react with the rat, the little hand had already taken it back and opened the corpses on both sides, and the "child" stuck his head out silently.

That's not what normal injustice should be, absolutely not.

The flesh and blood on his face were blurry, very similar to the situation on his arms, but there were many more compound eyes that resembled spiders, and a rough count of them showed twenty or thirty of them, all over the face, and could be seen from beginning to end.

These black jewel-like eyes, with eyelids and eyelashes, resemble the human eye, but vary in size, the largest being the size of a quail egg, and the smallest being the size of a soybean grain.

Opposite.

Don't look at the many eyes on its face, but in the eye sockets, there are no eyes, only two black holes that are leaking green pus.

The skin around its mouth is gone, and its gums can be seen directly.

It is no exaggeration to say that the lower half of its face looks like a skull.

The teeth are very thin and normal, barely human standards, and you can tell that they are children's teeth.

While we were still in a daze, the monster screamed abruptly, and its laughter stopped abruptly, and was replaced by the most terrible scream it was now.

The screams were not threatening, and I could feel that the monster was not threatening us, but signaling...... Signal?!

"! It's calling for reinforcements!! I gritted my teeth, looked left and right, and saw that there was no other situation, so I immediately made a decision: "Little fat!" Don't fight it!! Try to contain it with evil energy!! ”

"Squeak!!

Before coming, Qin Bing told us about the general situation here.

There were eight children who were sacrificed alive by the Old Church, four men and four women.

The one we bumped into at the moment was supposed to be a boy, because after it crawled out, I could vaguely see some indescribable male trait.

That is to say, the corpse becomes a monster, which is already a clear thing.

As for the officials who stayed here, they must have died at the hands of these monsters, including those gentlemen, and no one has been able to get them.

I can't guarantee how powerful the gentleman of the official family is, but at the very least, in our industry, it is also at the middle and upper level.

Eight little monsters, a dozen people plus some gentlemen, not to mention being able to kill and suppress these monsters, they couldn't even get out alive...... That's enough to show that they're not easy to deal with!

"Squeak!!

The rat hissed, as if to embolden himself, and then kicked the ground twice, just as a bull was preparing to take a man.

Suddenly, four streams of black mist visible to the naked eye immediately emerged from the bottom of the rat's claws, enveloping the rat's body in just a few seconds.

From beginning to end, there was nothing missing, and on the whole, the rat had changed its appearance, looking like a small monster made of black mist.

The eyes that emitted a dazzling red light were even more dazzling when they looked at it, and compared with the body covered in black mist, it was even more intense.

When the rat pounced on the monster, I hurriedly followed, clutching the talisman that had fallen to my body, and followed it closely behind to meet the enemy.

At that time, in the headphones I was wearing on my head, the voices of Qin Bing and Chen Qiuyan suddenly came.

"How's your situation going?? Is there something wrong?? Chen Qiuyan hurriedly asked me, "There was something screaming in the forest just now!" Did you hear that?? ”

"Brother Shen, something is approaching us, I heard a voice." Qin Bing said with some solemnity.

Hearing their words, I realized that I was not alone, and I still had to take care of those oil bottles.

"Don't get stunned!! Come and meet me!! There is an ambush in the woods!! It's a death !! for us to be separated ”

At the same time, the monster that came out of the pile of corpses also spread its arms, like a child's coquettishness, and ran straight at me and the rats, not even trying to dodge, and was not afraid of us at all.

With a bang, the rat slammed into the monster, and the primer in my hand was accurately attached to its head.

Before I could breathe a sigh of relief, a burst of gunfire and screams suddenly rang out in the direction where Chen Qiuyan and the others were.

In the earphones, Qin Bing's roar also sounded.

"Quick!! Come on!! ”
