Chapter 7: The Scarlet Cross

"Hell!"

With a terrible scream, Zhang Fatzi looked at the lifeless eyes in horror, threw the lighter in fright, and crawled backwards. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Hearing the screams of the fat man, I was shocked, and a cool breath rushed from my spine to my head, and cold sweat broke out instantly.

"Fat man, how are you?"

I shouted to the fat man, and at the same time pinched the law with one hand, regardless of whether it was useful or not, I protected it in front of me, and at the same time retreated again and again, until my back leaned against a big tree, I was slightly relieved, but my whole person was tightly tensed, and I didn't dare to come out.

Darkness shrouded all around, only the faint light of the lighter in his hand, and this little soybean-sized light swayed in the wind and rain, and it looked like it was extinguishing at any time.

I was worried that it would go out, so I held it tightly with my hands.

Fat Zhang retreated quickly, and almost instantly came to my side.

I grabbed him by the back of the collar and made him stand up, and he grabbed a dead branch on the ground and made a defensive stance.

The whining wind weaved through the forest, making the sound of a sinister sway, and the shadows of the trees distorted by the light and fire in their hands, as if countless evil spirits were slowly walking towards this side.

We looked around nervously, trembling.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and the cold wind stimulated us to tremble, and the soybean-sized fire was extinguished with a snap, and the four sides returned to darkness.

I chuckled in my heart, is there really a ghost?

Although I am a family student, this is the first time I have encountered such a situation.

The two of us were back to back, eyes wide open, wary of the dark trees around us.

This gust of wind came and went quickly, and in an instant, the surroundings became quiet.

Except for each other's gasps, neither of us could see or hear anything, and in the silence, it was extremely depressing.

After a few seconds, the whole scene was as silent as death, and the pin drop could be heard.

"What did you just see?"

Swallowing my saliva, I finally broke the silence and asked nervously.

The fat man on the side was startled by my sudden sound, and was stunned, only to realize that it was my voice, looked around carefully, and said in horror.

"Skull!"

"Fleshy skull!"

I was stunned for a moment, randomly realized something, and my face suddenly flashed with surprise.

Corpse......

There is a corpse, and this may be the missing person we are looking for.

After all, the compass had shown that the missing person was around here.

Tell Zhang Fatzi what I thought, he was also stunned, and randomly he realized that what I said made a lot of sense, the disappeared missing person was likely to be the identity of the skull.

Click......

Taking a deep breath, we froze, and a flash of fire rose from my hand again.

Groping around, we found a flashlight that had fallen in the grass not far away.

Two slightly dim rays of light shone out, and Fat Zhang and I looked at each other, nodded to each other, and slowly walked towards the skull step by step.

The light finally shone on the bloody face.

The skin on the face has long since disappeared, leaving only a layer of vague flesh and blood remaining on it, as if it has been torn by some animal, the dark red blood that has coagulated is all over the cheeks, and in some places you can see the white bones of Sensen, the two eyes are round, and the front of the body seems to be extremely frightened, and the face is distorted greatly.

Seeing this scene, even though I was already prepared in my heart, but seeing the honor of the skull, my heart still trembled unconsciously, and even my hands shook a few times before I regained my calm.

The ground next to the corpse was covered with dark red bloodstains, and when I looked closely, I realized that the corpse was not just a head, his body was completely covered by wild grass, only the head and a little neck were exposed, so it looked like there was only one head left.

There was a faint smell of rancid smell in the air.

It's a corpse stench.

"How do you recognize this?" Frowning, I looked at the corpse's bloody face.

Zhang Fatzi also frowned, and the flashlight in his hand kept scanning the corpse, as if observing something.

"What now?" I asked.

Zhang Fatzi took out his mobile phone, looked at it, and there was no signal, so he asked me, "Does your mobile phone have a signal?" ”

I pulled out my phone, looked at it, and shook my head.

Seeing me shaking his head, Zhang Fatzi's face became solemn, and he was silent for a moment before he said slowly: "I can't wait for the forensic doctor to come, let's search first, confirm his identity, and then transport him down the mountain, if I leave him here, I'm afraid that by tomorrow morning, there will be no bones." After saying that, he looked around.

Although we have not encountered any danger so far, we have heard from the people living around us that there are wolves and some wild beasts in the mountains.

I nodded immediately, then glanced at my phone, it was already half past eleven in the evening.

Although there is no danger now, no one knows if there will be danger in the future.

"Hurry up and check, you are a policeman, and you are familiar with the inspection procedures, you come." I agree.

Fat Zhang nodded, handed me the flashlight, and he fumbled in his pocket for a while, took out a pair of rubber gloves, put them on his hands, and squatted down, about to remove the wild grass from the corpse.

"Wait!"

At this moment, the light in my hand shone on the corpse, and my eyes stared, as if I saw something.

"What's wrong?"

Fat Zhang turned his head and asked suspiciously.

I looked at a place with a flashlight with a complicated face: "Look here? Isn't it a little strange. ”

Zhang Fatzi looked at the light, his face changed, and he became extremely solemn, as if he had discovered something incredible. Slowly, he removed the barren grass that had been blocked from the place, and only then did the obscured place completely appear in front of us.

"What is this?"

Fat Zhang turned his head to look at me, but there was excitement in his eyes.

My eyes were fixed on the place, thinking.

The place where the light shines is the palm of the corpse.

Perhaps the deceased had received extreme shock and terror before his death, not only his face was distorted, but even his palm was distorted, bloodstained, twisted, like a chicken claw, but under this bloodstained palm, a cross-shaped pattern was drawn, and a finger that resembled a chicken claw's palm was staying at the end of the cross-shaped end.

Dark red blood flowed into the cross pattern and the like, and when coagulated, it looked like a strange blood-colored cross.

"Ten"

I pondered for a moment before speaking slowly.

A cross, or an unfinished word?

Obviously, this is what the deceased left before he died, but why did the deceased leave this thing behind?

However, the thing left by the deceased is obviously what the deceased wanted to express most before he died.

I looked at the cross and frowned.

What is the deceased trying to express?
