Chapter Twenty-Six: The Mystery of the Corpse
The corpse twisted towards our face was already shriveled and we couldn't see clearly, what should have been the eyeballs, leaving only two deep and terrifying holes, like an endless abyss, which made people feel terrified. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 The skin on the corpse was wrinkled, as if charcoal had been burned by the fire, and the whole body was as black as charcoal.
The hairs on my body stood on end, and I was terrified, not because of the death aura of this corpse, but from the strange smile that the dry corpse showed when it looked at us! That's right, this dry corpse is laughing! The corners of his mouth opened slightly to the sides, and he really seemed to be smiling......!
The dry corpse tilted its head motionlessly, with that horrible and strange smile, staring at us with two dark holes, followed by a foul smell of corpses.
I suddenly felt a little weak in my calves, and I almost couldn't stand steadily, and I sat down on the ground, and my brain was really blank at this time.
"! Zongzi is really a corpse! Jin Buchang reacted very quickly, and when he shouted the words, he had already picked up the crowbar in his hand and was about to sweep directly towards the head of the sitting cadre.
The reaction was even more swift It was Ni Tian, I didn't even react to what was going on, the black donkey's hooves in Ni Tian's hand had already smashed into the mouth of the dry corpse with a grin.
I was so frightened at this time that I still remembered that I still held the blood of the black dog in my hand to ward off evil spirits, and watched the black donkey's hooves stuffed directly into the open mouth of the dried corpse. Immediately after, Ni Tian retreated back to me with extremely fast skills, and the crowbar swung out by Jin Buchang was already swept away.
"Click!" With a bang, the head of the dried corpse was directly slapped away by Jin Buchang like a baseball, hitting the wall at the edge of the tomb, making a crisp sound, and then falling, rolling a few times and then no longer moving. In the huge coffin in front of him, only the shriveled, charcoal-like body remained, still sitting upright and motionless, which was even more weird......
Ni Tian quickly flashed back to me, and took out a black donkey's hoof from the bag behind his back and held it in his hand, held his breath, squinted his eyes, and did not dare to relax at all to stare at the headless corpse.
Jin Buchang saw that he succeeded in one blow, and he didn't care about 3721, picked up the crowbar and wanted to smash it again.
"Wait, old Kim!" Ni Tian seemed to have discovered something, and suddenly opened his mouth to stop Jin Buchang.
Jin Buchang was stunned for a moment, and it could be seen that he also trusted Ni Tian extremely much, and then stopped the movements in his hands, just holding the crowbar with both hands, looking on full alert.
Needless to say, I've been scared stupid for a long time, where have I seen such a weird scene since I was a child. To tell the truth, if two triads pointed guns at my head, I would not have the slightest fear based on my experience of enlisting in the army. But at this moment, in this dark and cold ancient tomb, a headless corpse is sitting in the coffin in front of me, and his head, which had previously shown that strange smile at me, has now flown under the far corner, how weird and weird this scene is, I can't help but be afraid.
I only felt as if time had stood still, the cold and damp air in the dungeon had seeped into my blood, and the bottle of black dog blood was clutched in my sweaty hands, but I had long forgotten its usefulness.
Ni Tian seemed to have discovered something, and actually took a step forward and walked directly towards the headless corpse. Jin Buchang raised the crowbar in his hand vigilantly, looking at the posture, it was obvious that once the dried corpse had the slightest abnormality, it would be unfavorable to Ni Tian, and he would directly smash it.
He cautiously approached the dried corpse, at first just looking up and down, left and right, and then, after reaching out and groping around the dried corpse for a while, he turned his head and beckoned me to exchange money with him.
No way! No way?! Just as I was hesitating in my heart whether to go over or not, Jin Buchang next to me put down the crowbar in his hand and pushed me: "Boy, God shouted, peeing your pants?" ”
"Oh, oh." I blurted out a little woodenly, in fact, I didn't even know what I was talking about, and my body had already followed Jin Buchang towards Ni Tian.
When I got closer, the smell of the corpse became even stronger, and I almost choked. Ni Tian pointed to the ribs of the headless dry corpse: "You see, there are some doorways here. ”
I couldn't help but look at it, only to see that there were many thin and taut copper wires extending out of the ribs on both sides of the dried corpse. I looked along the direction of the copper wire, and saw that the end of the copper wire was on the inner wall of the coffin, and on the inner wall there were many taut copper wires connecting to different parts of the dried corpse.
"This corpse has been embalmed, and the moisture in the corpse has long been evaporated." Ni Tian pointed to the legs of the corpse in the coffin again: "You see, the legs of this corpse were also nailed to the bottom of the coffin, obviously on purpose. ”
I looked at the corpse's legs again, and sure enough, as Ni Tian said, the corpse's shriveled legs each had a row of huge copper nails, nailing them to the bottom of the coffin.
"Look at it, these copper wires, which connect the various parts of the upper body of this corpse, seem to be embedded in the bones. When the lid is opened and slides to one side, the copper wires are pulled and straightened by the enormous gravity generated by the offset of the lid and pulls the dried corpse up, as we just saw. ”
After listening to Ni Tian's explanation, Jin Buchang rolled his eyes and scolded angrily: "Damn, we are designed again, this grandson is really fucking yin, so he didn't scare Jin Ye out of Xiang." ”
"This... This is also a mechanism? I was stunned for a long time before I realized what Ni Tian meant.
"Well, obviously, if you are timid, you will be scared to death at that time." Ni Tian's answer really didn't mean anything else, but the word timid sounded very clear in my ears.
I suddenly felt a burst of heat on my face, and secretly scolded myself for being cowardly, and I was scared stupid just now. There are no ghosts and gods in this world, how can there be living corpses? Intentionally or unintentionally, he has put the hand that is still holding the black dog blood bottle behind his back, but it is estimated that the embarrassed expression on his face cannot be hidden.
Ni Tian smiled, patted me on the shoulder, and didn't mention that I forgot to splash black dog blood just now because I was scared stupid, but it made me feel relieved. But now it's even weirder, aren't we entering the main burial chamber? But looking at the surrounding environment and the layout of the tomb, this is clearly the main tomb, how can it be that the owner of the tomb who was supposed to be buried has become a terrifying body that does not pay for his life? ……
