Chapter Eighty-Seven: Prison
We talked about it for a long time, but we still weren't sure what the black thing was. The monk said something that we hadn't thought of, but in his own words, you can never understand what it is without actually seeing it.
Qian Ning then put the film below, and I thought that the film after that would have a few follow-up close-ups, but the next film became a close-up of a soldier, and it was a close-up of the chest very clearly. The soldier had been badly wounded, and I could tell from the blood stains under his body that there must have been several very serious wounds on this guy's body, otherwise this kind of blowout of bleeding would not have happened. Unfortunately, this film is not a close-up of the whole body, but a close-up of the bare chest, so we can't tell what injuries he has suffered.
But we found that the man's ribcage had completely shrunk, just like the two bodies we had seen earlier. But the strange thing is that in the close-up I didn't have even the slightest wound in his chest cavity, how could he not have any trauma at all if he was so badly injured?
Whether this wound was done by the legendary jelly or sucked dry by Namahuraja, there should always be a wound on his chest, but in this close-up, although the skin of his chest is wrinkled like an orange peel, it can also be seen that there is no wound at all, as if this guy has been drained of all the muscle tissue.
Thinking of the two corpses that the two of us encountered earlier, if they and these guys were attacked by the black monster at the same time, the two of them would have rotted to the point that only a skeleton remained. But I see that the decomposition of those two corpses is at most ten days and half a month, could it be that these two guys have survived until now after being sucked dry? Didn't get killed until shortly after we came down?
How is this possible? Regardless of whether human beings can survive under such a change in texture, it will take sixty or seventy years to live from that time to the present, at least, who can live in such a place for so long? Even if the soldier was only twenty years old at that time, and he is eighty or ninety years old now, the two old men of such an age can at most touch a porcelain on the street to find a sense of existence, how can they be alive and kicking here?
Qian Ning put all the back films on them one by one, but they were all close-ups of the drained soldiers. Two of them also photographed the soldier's face, and to my surprise, there was no pain in their eyes and expressions at all, and the only expression I could see was dazed, a kind of incomprehension and confusion about the unknown. These guys didn't even struggle at all under such severe injuries, like patients lying in the operating room under anesthesia.
After reading all the films, the few of us were silent for a while, and neither of us spoke. We don't know exactly what it is, but I'm sure we'll run into that horrible creature if we keep going.
I'm guessing they've thought of this and are worried about their future trips. Although these guys are not very afraid of death, no one wants to die, and if they can live, they will spare their lives more than anyone else.
The monk pondered for a moment and said to us, "Let's go down, maybe soon we will know what that thing is." ”
The monk pretended to look at me casually as he spoke, and gave me a very vague look. I winked at him slightly, indicating that I understood his cues.
The others didn't notice the small movements of the two of us, and they all packed their backpacks and began to walk towards the small door. The monk deliberately stayed behind me and Nangong. Nangong saw the two of us grinding behind, and glanced at us with some surprise, and then pretended not to care, and walked forward by himself for a distance, leaving the two of us behind.
The monk glanced at the others, then whispered to me, "Give me the key." ”
Unexpectedly, the monk actually wanted to get the key back, which suddenly made me speechless. I rubbed my head and didn't know how to answer him, and Eun was speechless.
In the end, I really had no choice but to ask, "Why did you suddenly ask about the key?" ”
The monk looked at the people in front of him and said, "Just now when I went to chase the person who attacked Qianning, I chased him to a room. The guy disappeared after running there, but I found a bronze chest there. I see that the copper box is exactly the same material as your key, it is likely to be a set, let's open it later and see what clues are inside. ”
I swallowed and recounted how the orangutan had snatched the key in the passage. After listening to my explanation, the monk frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head and said to me: "You don't have to blame yourself too much, everything has its own Buddha fate, and it is all due to the Buddha's fate, and you can't force it." With that, he walked out the door.
I followed and found that there was an elevator behind the small door. It's an old-fashioned elevator with a manual console. We walked in and found that the elevator had eighteen floors. This surprised me to the fact that we were a few kilometers from the surface to the surface, not counting the depth of the previous well. Coupled with the height of these eighteen floors, can we really reach the legendary Netherworld? The monk skillfully began to control the console, and the elevator slowly descended one floor, and we all walked out under the monk's leadership.
The pangolin said to us, "When we got here, the guy was gone. We've looked it up here and found nothing. I suspect the guy has snuck away. ”
After the pangolin's words, I began to look around, this place is like an express hotel, except for a corridor opposite the elevator, all of them are wooden doors one after another, and this place should be all cubicles one by one.
What's the use of having so many rooms here? According to my understanding, the three-storey building we passed through was supposed to be a temporary dormitory for the underground fortifications, so what are these rooms used for?
I walked into the nearest room and found that the whole room was separated by an iron bar. The inside of the fence takes up most of the room, and there is only one seat and a table from the outside to the door.
How does this room look like a small prison, could it be that this was the underground stronghold of the Kuomintang at that time? But is it too much to build such a huge fortification in such an inaccessible place and just serve as an underground stronghold?
While we were looking around in this room, there was a sudden click in the hallway, as if something heavy was falling to the ground, and the monk rushed out first, and we all followed one after another.
