That night, the moonlight was hazy, and an obscene figure appeared imperceptibly next to the watchhouse. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The shadow was well acquainted with the nearby terrain, and took advantage of the shadows of the building to deftly avoid the two guards patrolling the doorway, and in an imperceptible corner, the shadow crept up the wall and crept into the watchhouse.

"Hmph, I've been a native of this place for decades, and I can move in and out with my eyes closed. Can you stop me? ”

Butler Penza looked at the backs of the two guards with disdain, and thought to himself: You guys, just with this little ability, you want to protect your master? Standing there straight, how can there be a caretaker!

After entering the watchhouse, Penza observed the situation, several side rooms were dark, it was already midnight, and most of the people should have slept.

In the middle of the watchhouse, in the largest hall, there was a faint light, and Penza slipped slowly past the corner, stopping in the shadow of a column, and when he looked closely, he found that the doors and windows of the hall were hung with thick black cloths, which seemed to be covering something.

Through the gap in the window, you can see that there is a light inside, and you can vaguely see that there are many people in the room, as if some ritual is being performed.

But the place where I stood was a bit far away, and the line of sight was not good enough to see clearly.

Penza watched the surroundings vigilantly, and the guards at the gate were blocked by the building, so they couldn't see what was inside.

After confirming that he would not be discovered, he cautiously leaned to the window, first squatted on the ground and listened to the movement, and after hearing nothing unusual, his head slowly rose from under the window, pulled out the hidden knife in his arms, and gently used the tip of the knife to pick a gap in the black cloth, leaned forward, and peeked in through the crack in the window with one eye.

The hall was lit by a few butter lamps, and on a large pillar in the hall were three people bound in chains—Penza, who had a great memory, could tell at a glance that these three men were the three men who had disappeared earlier.

Strangely, these three men were shackled on their feet, with shackles around their necks that were designed to punish slaves, and they were all dressed in rags, their eyes glazed, and they had lost the swagger of their former glory. Sitting on the ground in despair, as if it had been drained of its soul.

This strange scene made Penza's head tingle when he saw it.

Suddenly, there was a noise in the hall, and three zombie-like people struggled and writhed wildly, their mouths full of lotus sounds, and although their hands and feet were trapped by the thick shackles and shackles, the chains were still wrenched by them.

Penza hurriedly turned his head, his eyes glancing towards the center of the hall, and this look almost scared Penza out of his body.

At the wooden table in the hall stood several men in white coats and masks, one of whom was busy with a bloody corpse with a knife in his hand.

Lying on the table was a corpse with detached flesh and skin – the same body that the Tibetans had taken for the celestial burial ceremony.

The body was gone below the calf, and the upper body was tied to the board with a thick rope.

The muscles on the back, thighs, and arms of the corpse have been cut open by the Heavenly Burial Master, revealing the white bones inside, as well as some muscles and skin. Most of the scalp on the head was pecked away by vultures, revealing half of Bai Sensen's skull.

A white coat stabbed it in the abdomen, and the corpse suddenly writhed and struggled, its head twisted, and the remaining half-cheeked eyes turned to itself.

A scream of "whoop" pierced the silent night and floated in the sky above the watchhouse.

Several people in the hall were also taken aback, and quickly turned their heads to look outside.

The housekeeper of Penza was so frightened that he peed on his crotch, and at this time, he didn't care about covering up his tracks, and ran to the door of the watchhouse.

At this moment, a man in the hall rushed out with three steps and two steps, pointed a strange pistol at him, and ordered in Tibetan: "Don't move!" ”

What is moving, the Pengzha housekeeper at this moment has long been frightened, and he doesn't care what others say. Howling at the top of his throat, he rushed to the door.

Hearing a crisp gunshot in the back of his head, Penza felt a heat in his leg, as if he had been hit hard by something, and a sharp pain hit him, and he rolled on the ground on the spot and couldn't get up.

The man who fired the gun walked over and stepped on Penza's neck, the muzzle of the black hole aimed at his head. Penza closed her eyes in fright, and her mouth whimpered.

"Don't kill him, this is Toast's butler." A voice stopped the man.

At this time, a team of toasts outside also rushed over. Penza's screaming alarm alarmed the nearby toast men, and he saw someone holding a gun at the butler. The crowd was stunned.

The housekeeper lay on the ground and wailed, with snot and tears on his face, and a puddle of blood or urine under him.

After all, these subordinates were still well-trained, and seeing that the situation was wrong, they raised their guns and pointed them at the foreigners.

At this time, the other entourages in the watchhouse were also awakened, and they came out one after another, holding strangely shaped guns in their hands and aiming at the courtyard team, and the people and horses on both sides confronted each other, and the fight was inevitable.

Heinrich. Haller shouted in German and Tibetan: "Don't shoot!" Don't shoot! ”

After a while, Latse Tusi rushed over with a large group of people with bright torches.

"What's going on?" Toast looked at the butler lying on the ground, shocked and angry. It also depends on the owner to beat the dog, and if you don't say hello, the housekeeper will be injured like this!

The housekeeper was lying on the ground and was frightened and painful, and his life had gone seventy or eighty, and when he saw the master coming, he seemed to suddenly have a backbone, and he didn't know where he got a strength, and he crawled over with two hands on the ground.

While crawling, his mouth cried and shouted: "Master, master, they are performing evil rituals, they, they are evil ghosts, they are stealing our souls, they are ......"

His mouth was slurred and he cried and shouted, but he didn't say why.

After all, this is the first time he has experienced such a thing, and he has no experience, so he doesn't know what words to use to describe it.

"Master Toast, let's take a step to speak." Heinrich. Haller took off his white coat and said calmly to Toast.

"Master, don't listen to him, he wants to harm you." Penza finally crawled up to Toast and wrapped his hands around Toast's calves.

"Master Toast, this way." Heinrich. Haller walked to a nearby clearing. Gesture to have no weapon in hand.

Hmph, sir, I have a lot of people and guns, so I don't dare to do anything to you. At this point, Master Toast still doesn't believe that this group of sincere guests will do any harm to him. With a shake of his foot, he shook off Penza and stepped forward to see what this Haller had to say about it.

Haller bowed his head to Toast's ear, and the two of them whispered something.

The remaining two groups of people stared at each other, neither of them dared to gasp, and the weapons in their hands were pointed at each other. lest the old man shout and fire, and the enemy and us will be splashed with blood on the spot.

It was obvious that there were many people on the side of Master Tusi, but the people on Halle's side occupied the favorable terrain, some of the attachés hid behind the door, and some stood on the second floor condescendingly, judging from the posture, all of them were well-trained soldiers, their expressions were very calm, and they did not look panicked like the nursing team.

The gun in the hand was also strange, much shorter than their fork gun, and the two hands were held right on the chest, looking very intimidating.

After Halle whispered to Toast, Toast's expression became more and more serious, but it was clearly not as angry as he had just been.

He waved his hand to his subordinates and motioned for the gun to be put down, and Haller motioned for his attaché to put it away.

Haller whispered to Toast again. Master Tusi looked vigilantly into the hall from the open door.

From this angle, you can see the scene in the hall, with a wriggling body lying on the board, and three struggling "zombies" locked on the pillar.

Master Toast took a few steps back, obviously this scene shocked Master Toast, and shook his head and waved his hand again and again.

It turned out that this Halle explained to Lord Toast that their entourage had encountered evil spirits in the mountains, stained with filth, and they were trying to find a way to heal them, and if Lord Toast gave them time, he would find a way to deal with the evil spirits, and help Toast get rid of the evil spirits in order to prevent future troubles.

The face of the toast master was solemn, and he obviously didn't buy it.

After whispering a few words to Halle, he ordered his men to exit the watchhouse - but to keep it close and not allow anyone to enter or leave.

glanced at Penza, who was lying on the ground, and arranged for someone to carry the housekeeper out for treatment first.

The torches of the nursing team lit up the surroundings of the watchhouse, and the toast transferred more manpower to block the water around the watchhouse.

Halle realized that the situation was not good, and the toast master was really angry, it seemed that he could not stay here for long, so he had to arrange for his entourage to pack up their things and prepare to leave.

From a distance, there are many people in the watchhouse, busy and busy.

A few attendants with guns in their hands looked coldly at the crowd from the windows of the watchtower, and the two sides were still tense.

In a tense atmosphere, I finally waited for the dawn sun to rise.

After daybreak, Toast, who had finished washing, and the butler, who was being carried on a stretcher, came to the door of the pillhouse with his entourage - Penza's injuries were not serious, the bullet had passed through his calf, and it was a penetrating wound, not a bone.

It seems that the person who fired the gun was very accurate in his marksmanship and very measured in his attack.

Although it was a minor injury, it still took a lot of work for the subordinates to clean up Penza's feces and urine.

Haller also appeared at the door with a few people from his side, and the two sides officially began to negotiate, not so much a negotiation as a toast announcing the order:

"You heretics have stepped into the sacred mountain without permission and provoked the gods, so the gods have brought misfortune to you, and these three people who are not human or ghost are the end of angering the gods. Toast commands you to get out of here quickly to avoid the wrath of the gods. ”

Penza paused and then said, "You have desecrated the souls of our heavenly burial bodies without permission—this kind of behavior is a great offense to the esteemed Lord Toast!" ”

"Considering the friendship you have expressed, Lord Toast will no longer pursue your offense against authority and wounding me—the gods will punish you as they deserve! Some of you are already possessed by evil spirits, and you must get out of here before the gods inflict greater punishment! ”

Penza lay on the stretcher, read out the notice with a loud voice, and looked at Haller and the others domineeringly, which was very different from yesterday's embarrassed image - after all, there were hundreds of people behind him and the nursing team.

Halle expressed his deep apologies to Master Toast, and hoped that he would be given some more time to pack his belongings and supplies so that they could safely take the possessed people with them—and of course, they would offer a large amount of compensation.

Toast shook his head and gave the death order, "You must get out of here before the sun reaches the middle of your head." ”

It seems that no amount of sincerity can make Toast change his attention, and Toast is also a very principled person.

Haller and the others had to turn around and go back to pack their things in a hurry, they had collected a large number of precious samples and materials during this time, and it was difficult to take them all away.

And now in this scenario, it is unlikely that Master Toast will borrow a few more animals.

They had to pack several large boxes of important things, plus the necessary food and water. The rest of the entourage can bring as much as they can.

Eventually, before the sun rose overhead, Haller and his party left with a few mules and horses, under the watchful eye of the Tusi Guardians.

The three "retinues", shackled and shackled, were wrapped in black pockets and laid out on the backs of the mules and horses.

After leaving Toast's watchhouse, Haller looked back, his eyes full of unwillingness.

The expedition led to an unexpected discovery, in a Himalayan mountain range known to the locals as the "Sacred Mountain", where they stumbled upon a mysterious substance that could make people "immortal".

Such a discovery is sure to shock the world. What is the "Protoss Army" that the Führer thinks about day and night, he can help the Führer form an "undead army"!

However, he needed time to study this mysterious substance.

It's a pity that Butler Penza suddenly appeared at a critical moment, ruining his research plan at once—if I had given me a little more time, I would have a chance to crack Shambala's secrets, Haller thought regretfully.

Now that they have offended the Toast, they have been expelled from the Toast's sphere of influence, and they will no longer be able to get close to Shambala, and they will not be able to obtain more samples. The only information in my hand now is these three infected "retinues".

Haller looked ahead at Peter. Offschnett's back, a wave of anger could not help but rise in his heart.

He was getting angrier and angrier with this companion of his own, if it weren't for Peter. If Offschneider had shot and wounded Penza's butler, there might have been room for manoeuvre. He can use the remaining treasures to win Toast's trust and buy a little more time to study Shambara.

Heinrich. Haller and Peter. There had been a long-standing feud between Aufschneider, and Haller had always been disliked by Peter. Aufschneider's haughty aristocratic posture, a Prussian aristocrat and an SS elite, had never taken himself, an Austrian-born commoner—he didn't take anyone seriously.

Theoretically, Haller was the captain of the expedition, but Peter. Ovschneider was the military commander of their team, and everyone had to obey his orders, no way, who made him Himmler's henchman.

Peter, who was at the head of the line. Offschneider's heart was full of anxiety, and although the expedition had made unexpected discoveries, it also came back with a lot of costs.

Haller, the leader of the expedition, gave him a lot of headaches, not only did he take it upon himself to give a part of the treasure that should have been buried to Toast, but he also insisted on going his own way, and put the team in trouble several times.

Unorganized and undisciplined, this fanatical adventurer recklessly conducts live experiments after seeing the strange effects of a mysterious substance on his teammates! They even tried to use Tibetan corpses for organ transplants!

If it weren't for the Penza steward breaking up their experiments, it's hard to predict what would have happened next.

Regardless, this fanatical adventurous guy has caused their party to deviate from their plans - if they had gone according to the original plan, they should have joined the rest of the team by now.

But will they still be able to complete the tasks they set out to do now? The situation may have long been out of control.

Now, the great danger hanging over the ranks remained, and looking at the three zombies lying on the mule horses, Peter. Aufschneider secretly made a decision in his heart.

……

Two days later, two men who had arranged to follow the expedition, two of Penza's most capable men, returned, and Penza ordered them to secretly follow the expedition until they left the territory of Tusi.

They came back a few days earlier than planned, could it be that something changed along the way?

The two men reported respectfully to Tusi and Penza that they had been following the expedition for two days, and on the evening of the third day they heard a dense burst of gunfire from a distance.

Although it was getting late and the distance was very long, the two men had good eyesight, and they saw from a distance that the group was firing wildly at each other, as if the team was divided and fighting each other.

After the fight was over, the two men secretly stepped forward to observe the situation and found that there were several corpses left on the ground, and the people who took the lead did not see them.

Thinking that the housekeeper of Pengza had explained that if anything unusual happened, they should rush back immediately to report it, so they ran back non-stop.

Penza frowned when he heard this: "How many corpses?" How many are that, there are twenty people in the expedition, seven horses, three mules, and six large iron boxes, where did they go?! ”

Hearing that the housekeeper Pengza was angry, the two of them trembled with fright: "It's getting late, no, I didn't see clearly, I only saw several mules and horses falling, and my intestines were rotten, I don't know whether they were hit by powerful guns or torn apart by something, there were blood stains and bullet casings everywhere, and the boxes were also broken, and there were some tattered stones inside, and some paper ...... with foreign characters written on them."

The anger on Penza's face grew.

Another person with a more lively heart hurriedly added: "We are worried that the gods are punishing them, and we don't dare to stay there for too long, for fear of disturbing the gods to cast spells, so we immediately rushed back to report to the master." ”

"En," Lord Toast nodded, "these heretics do not respect our gods, and must have been condemned by them. ”

Since Tusi had come to a conclusion, the housekeeper of Pengza was not able to pursue it further, so he gave the two men a fierce look, and the two staggered out.

The housekeeper leaned in front of the toast and asked softly, "What should I do with that watchtower?" ”

Since the expedition left, Tusi had sent people to keep the watchhouses under strict guard, forbidding anyone to enter or leave, and according to the guards, they seemed to be faintly smelling a rancid smell emanating from the blockhouses, and some strange sounds could be heard inside in the dead of night.

Now these subordinates are also talking among themselves, some people say that there are dead spirits left by foreigners in the watchhouse, and that the smell of rancid is the smell of death.

Some say that the foreigners performed some kind of evil summoning ritual in the watchhouse, and that what the Penza steward saw was the evil spirits they had summoned from hell - and there were still evil spirits surrounding it.

There is no doubt that this place has been defiled by pagans.

After much deliberation, Toast finally decided to burn whatever was in the bungalow. The fire of heaven will cleanse this group of people from their sins.

After receiving the order, Pengza ordered people to pile firewood outside the watchhouse, and then poured a large amount of tung oil, after everything was ready, an order, countless lit torches were thrown in, and the watchhouse was instantly engulfed by the raging fire.

The fire burned for a day and a night before it stopped.

It's a pity that such a majestic watchhouse is gone. Butler Penza thought to himself, his calf still aching.

Two days later, the team sent by Penza to find the corpses of the expedition returned. They followed the two people before them to the place where the expedition was fighting, but found that there was no one around them, let alone corpses, and not even a single piece of the box skin.

The two men who had their legs broken swore by the lives of their families that they had indeed seen the expedition in full swing, with corpses and blood all over the ground.

Penza believed that the two men did not have the guts to lie to him.

So, where are these people and corpses?
