Chapter 54: No Skull (Ask for Recommendation, Ask for Collection)
“0216”? What does that mean?
Zhang Tianyi stared at the badge and lost his mind for a while, he searched the memories in his mind, and he couldn't think of which army in China could be related to the four numbers "0216".
"Could it be foreign troops?" Lin Fan also felt strange, even if he didn't know him, but Zhang Tianyi didn't know him for no reason as a policeman.
"No, it won't." Zhang Tianyi shook his head and said: "Look at the collar of the clothes, there are a lot of needle holes on it, I think it was originally embroidered with the number of this army, although I have not seen the style, but the number of the domestic army is embroidered on the collar, and most of the foreign countries are on the shoulder." ”
After speaking, Zhang Tianyi looked at Wu Shengnan again and asked, "Do you know which army this badge comes from?" ”
Wu Shengnan's eyes were a little evasive, but then he calmed down and said, "No." ”
Zhang Tianyi looked at her suspiciously, and didn't say anything more.
"There's a hole in the front." Lin Fan looked around and said.
"Let's go." Zhang Tianyi asked Wu Shengnan to go ahead, and put away the badge while she was not paying attention.
Lin Fan stopped not far away and said, "There is really light this time!" ”
Lin Fan was a little excited, but he still didn't dare to act rashly, the shadow just now was still lingering in his mind.
"Phosphorescent or phosphorescent?" Zhang Tianyi asked.
Wu Shengnan said: "I can't see it clearly now, only the past knows." ”
"Be careful." After Zhang Tianyi finished speaking, he hunched over and held the iron pickaxe bow, his eyes constantly scanning back and forth around.
"What does this smell like?" Lin Fan suddenly stopped and said, he glanced behind him twice, and suddenly saw a figure flashing by, and then jumped up directly from behind!
Lin Fan was shocked: "Tianyi, be careful!" ”
Zhang Tianyi also smelled the familiar stench, he really didn't expect to meet that animal here.
Zhang Tianyi felt a little cold on his scalp, and a cold wind blew straight over. The space in this cave is too small, the road in front is blocked by Lin Fan and Wu Shengnan, and they can't go back in the back, so it is difficult to even turn around.
Zhang Tianyi simply turned his body to the side, raised the iron pickaxe without hesitation when the cold wind came, and then smashed it on the head of the white fox with his arm.
"It's still fucking hard!" Zhang Tianyi's arm was numb from the shock, and the buzzing sounds in his ears rose and fell with each other.
"It's broken! There are also fronts! Lin Fan saw a pair of dark green eyes flash in the darkness in front of him.
Wu Shengnan had already held a dagger in his hand, and when the white fox pounced into the air, she suddenly knelt on the ground, the white fox exposed his abdomen, Wu Shengnan picked up the dagger and cut a long hole in the white fox's stomach from below, and all the internal organ liquid dripped on Wu Shengnan's body.
On the other side, Zhang Tianyi can be regarded as killing the white fox, and the iron pickaxe directly pierced the white fox's head and died. After the white fox died, he was about to help Lin Fan, but it turned out that Wu Shengnan was squatting on the ground wiping the dagger with the hair on the white fox's corpse, and there were still some blood stains on her face.
"Are you alright?" Zhang Tianyi went up and asked.
Lin Fan shook his head to indicate that he was fine, but his face was still as pale as ever.
Wu Shengnan wiped the blood stains on the dagger and put it away again, Zhang Tianyi looked at her and wanted to say something but couldn't say anything.
"Could it be that the figure I saw before was a white fox? Zhang Tian couldn't help but say when he thought of the mysterious figure that Lin Fan said before.
Lin Fan shook his head with a wry smile and said, "No, that figure is much bigger than the white fox." ”
Zhang Tianyi didn't say anything more, but walked up to Wu Shengnan and asked, "Are you okay?" ”
Wu Shengnan glanced at him and said, "It's okay, thank you." ”
The three of them ate something on the spot, and Lin Fan complained and said, "I really don't know how to survive here by walking through the soil gate." ”
Wu Shengnan drank some water and said: "Didn't Tianyi say it just now, this is a karst cave, since it is a karst cave, there must be a water source nearby, and the skeleton we just saw should be caught by them from outside for daily consumption." ”
"Are you saying that they still maintained the tribal tradition of hunting in the late Qing Dynasty?" Zhang Tianyi felt incredible. What exactly do they want to live in seclusion in the mountains, this is completely the living habits of primitive people.
"What's so strange about this, they don't speak the local official dialect after thousands of years of inheritance in the Tumen, and their daily communication is in the language of the tribe." Wu Shengnan explained.
"If, I mean, if the people who stayed weren't dead, where would they be?" Zhang Tianyi seems to have grasped a crucial point.
"Yang Yong and Ye Zi have no personal intersection between the two of them, but they are all helping to kill people in Tumen, we might as well boldly imagine that Yang Yong and Ye Zi are just accomplices, and the real mastermind is someone else! And this person is likely to be the one who chose to stay in the first place! Zhang Tianyi was taken aback by his conjecture.
If you follow this line of thought, then you are also a real murderer behind the scenes, why is he doing this? Is it to resurrect the spirit fox and lead the Tumen back to its former prosperity?
So did he succeed? It's normal to look cute, and it should be that the sacrifice has failed. But since they failed, why did Yang Yong and Ye Zi still die for the murderer?
"What if they're dead?" Lin Fan looked at the flickering light in front of him and suddenly spoke.
Zhang Tianyi immediately thought of the light he had seen before, could it be ......!
Zhang Tianyi ran straight ahead, the water under his feet was kicked by him, and he tripped over a stone several times during the process, but he got up and continued to move forward.
Really......
Zhang Tian was stunned in place, there was an altar in front of him, the altar was much larger than what he had seen in the photo before, and on the altar there were several layers of skulls, and those lights were the phosphorescence on the bones.
"...... here," Lin Fan caught up and looked at the scene in front of him and stopped.
Wu Shengnan was also stunned by the scene in front of her, she turned on the flashlight and found that the space here was incredibly large, the flashlight light could not shine on the surrounding walls, winding down, the soles of her feet were all bluestone slabs, some places were narrow like funnels, and some places were as big as halls, and what was even more surprising was that the layers of neatly placed human skulls!
After entering here, each of them couldn't help but wrap their clothes tightly, it was cold here, and there were stalagmites, stone pillars, and stone flowers everywhere.
There was a dripping sound of water in the cave, and Zhang Tianyi was a little puzzled: "Only the skull is left, what about their bodies?" ”
"Look up." Wu Shengnan said and shone the flashlight above his head.
When Zhang Tianyi looked up, a headless white bone suddenly appeared in the aperture of the miner's lamp, and its hand bones were tied with ropes and hung on the stalactites on the top of the cave.
Zhang Tianyi moved the miner's lamp and found that the entire roof of the cave was full of headless white bones that had been hung up, no one knew how big the hole was, but as long as the light could reach it, Bai Sensen's skeleton could be seen.
Zhang Tianyi was sure that these were human bones, and from time to time the wind would blow and make a creaking sound of bones rubbing, and at first glance, those white bones seemed to be dancing with steps.
"These are the Tumen walkers who stayed behind at the beginning?" Zhang Tianyi couldn't believe it, he thought that after the death of the spirit fox, they would gradually decline until they were born, old, sick and died, but he never expected that they would be greeted by such a way of death.
Wu Shengnan said: "It should be true, but how did they die here?" ”
Wu Shengnan was also very puzzled by this.
Lin Fan didn't feel frightened when he saw these white bones, a person boldly stepped forward, looked left and right for a while, and said: "It was killed by man, the skull has no different color to rule out poisoning, and the broken neck bone is smooth and neat, and the preliminary judgment is that the head was cut off with a knife and killed on the spot." ”
"Kill with a single sword?" Zhang Tianyi repeated, the murderer's modus operandi was somewhat familiar, and he then stepped forward to take a closer look, yes, it was exactly the same as Wang Fugui's death.
Lin Fan seems to be born to be a forensic material, he is not taboo at all, he directly picked up a skull with his hand and put it under his nose to smell it, and then pinched it with his fingers, and said: "The bones are already very loose, and the calcium, iron and other minerals in the bones have been lost, and it is estimated that he will die for twenty or thirty years." ”
Twenty or thirty years? What happened here twenty or thirty years ago? Are all those who remain dead?
"Look!" Wu Shengnan shifted the light of the flashlight to the altar and asked, "Have you found anything?" ”
Zhang Tianyi looked at it and said, "This altar is different from the size you see in the photo?" ”
Wu Shengnan glared at him and said angrily, "I'll show you the skull on the altar." ”
"It's nothing, maybe it's just a psychopath of the murderer, deliberately piling up the skull into a pyramid." The skulls are stacked layer by layer, but from many to many, and the shape is like a pyramid in the shape of a triangular pyramid.
Zhang Tianyi picked up the top skull as he spoke, and Wu Shengnan's face changed dramatically and he suddenly hurriedly shouted: "Don't move it!" ”
However, Wu Shengnan said that he was a step too late, and Zhang Tianyi had already picked up the skull.
At this time, Zhang Tianyi already felt as if he had done something stupid, and when he picked up the skull, the temperature around him suddenly dropped several degrees, and the yin wind blew from all directions, and he couldn't help but sneeze.
"What's that sound?" There was a creaking sound in his ears, Lin Fan felt strange, he looked up and saw that his heart was about to jump out of his throat!
The skullless skulls on the top of the cave actually twisted the skeleton and moved, Lin Fan was sure that he was not mistaken, one by one the skeletons began to struggle, and then the vine that tied their hands hung down, and by the time everyone reacted, those skullless bones had already fallen to the ground.
For a while, none of the three of them dared to act rashly, and the sudden change made them panic!
