25. The Land of Foresight (II)
After a few minutes, Qiao Wei and I finally walked to the barn, which was much more dilapidated than it looked from a distance, and even the wooden door was full of holes.
I went over to push open the door of the barn, but before my hand could touch the door, I smelled a familiar stench, which was very similar to what I had smelled in the hut before, no, not like, it was exactly the same!
Qiao Wei also noticed this, he immediately squatted down and grabbed a handful of soil on the ground with his left hand, and at the same time reached into his arms with his right hand and grabbed a handful of rune paper. After he was ready and nodded at me, I slammed my arms hard and pushed the wooden door of the barn in.
The wooden door clicked and I pushed it down from the door frame, and everything in the barn instantly jumped into my sight.
My head instantly "buzzed", my scalp also went numb, and my body couldn't move as if I had been electrocuted.
I've seen dead people, and I've even seen people eat people, but none of that compares to what I'm seeing now! It was dark, but it only took a faint light to see inside, and the barn was full of beams of wood, on which were fastened chains and hooks, and on which were hung skinned people!
The human body looked pretty much the same when it was skinned, it was all red muscles, and these muscles were hung by two iron hooks, the hooks went through their shoulder blades, and then pierced out from under their collarbones, and even for a moment I suspected that I was not seeing people, but a herd of slaughtered livestock.
Who hung them here? Are they still alive? This idea is so silly! Is it possible for someone who has been tortured like this to live?
I stood in the doorway, asking myself questions and answering questions in my head.
Where did their skins go? Weishenme There is no blood on the ground? Is the smell from these people?
Suddenly, the red muscular man who was hanging on the outermost side near the door moved! I thought it was my delusion, so I rubbed my eyes vigorously, and when I focused my gaze on the muscular man again, I was sure that I wasn't wrong, he was indeed moving! His legs swayed back and forth as if he were walking, and his eyes were moving from side to side!
"Alive! They are alive!! ”
I exclaimed, and then quickly ran into the barn and came to the moving muscular man.
His feet were only thirty centimeters above the ground, and I could touch him directly, but it was obviously not easy to get him off the hook.
"He's still alive?" Qiao Wei had also arrived in the warehouse at this time, and stared at the muscular man in front of him in surprise as he asked.
The muscular man seemed to hear Qiao Wei's words, and he also swung his legs harder again, this time he moved even more, which was enough to prove that he was still alive. In addition, his eyes were also staring straight at Qiao Wei, feeling as if he knew Qiao Wei.
"Do you have to get him down first, and do it with mud?" I said to Qiao Wei.
"Give it a try!"
After speaking, Qiao Wei was ready to throw the soil in his hand on the ground.
But before he could throw it, the hanging muscular man moved again, this time it was not his feet but his hands, he gently shook his fingers from side to side, as if he didn't want Qiao Wei to do this. I saw the movement of the muscular man, so I quickly grabbed Qiao Wei.
"What's wrong?" Qiao Wei looked at me in surprise.
"It's him, he doesn't seem to want you to summon a mud arhat." I pointed to the muscular man and said to Qiao Wei.
Qiao Wei turned his head to look at the muscular man, and then asked in English, "You don't want me to save you?" ”
The muscular man's eyes moved up and down, as if he was nodding his head with the movement of his eyeballs.
“weishenme? Could it be ......," Qiao Wei paused, "Could it be that if I put you down, you will die immediately?" ”
The muscular man moved his eyes up and down again.
I felt a thump in my heart! Although I didn't think there was any chance of these people surviving when I first saw what was going on in the warehouse, I was shocked to reconfirm their death after seeing a little hope, and the shock still made me feel extremely uncomfortable.
"You can't speak?" Qiao Wei also continued to ask at this time.
After moving his eyeballs up and down in affirmation, the muscle man gently raised his hand and stretched out his index finger.
I thought he was going to show us something, but I soon realized that this was not the case, as if he was trying to convey a message with his hands. I quickly ran back to the car, took the books on Norse mythology, opened them, and handed them to the muscular man's hand.
Sure enough, the muscular man began to write in his trembling hands.
EXOR……
"It's an exorcist!" Qiao Wei didn't wait for the muscular man to finish writing, and asked excitedly and loudly, "You are the exorcist arranged by my father to come and investigate the town?!! ”
The muscleman paused, then moved his eyes up and down.
I also hurriedly turned over the pages of the book where he had written the blood letters, and asked him to continue writing, and Qiao Wei also focused all his attention on the book.
"Leather ...... Skinwalker ?!! The muscle man only wrote three letters, and Qiao Wei hurriedly asked.
The muscular man then confirmed it with the up and down movements of his eyes.
Turning the page and writing again, Qiao Wei also quickly saw what the muscle man was going to write, this time he wrote five words, namely: Goddess of Youth, School, Servant, Silver, Fire.
Qiao Wei immediately asked after reading these words: "You mean that the goddess of youth has descended into the elementary school in the town, and she has her own servant in the school, this servant is a leather walker, and to deal with these leather walker servants you need to use silver and fire, right?" ”
The muscular man's eyes move up and down, and then left and right, meaning that the first half is right, but the second half is wrong.
Qiao Wei immediately changed his words: "That silver is against the leather walker, and fire is against the goddess of youth?" ”
This time, the muscular man's eyeballs just moved up and down, and Qiao Wei was completely right.
"Great, this information is too important, what about the others, what about the other ......" Qiao Wei was about to continue asking the muscle man questions, but he stopped halfway through his words.
I understood that Qiao Wei Weishenme didn't say any more, because the muscular man's eyes had become hollow, his pupils had begun to dilate, and the muscles that had been tense just now had visibly and quickly relaxed—the exorcist seemed to have given up on fighting death because he had fulfilled his mission.
"! Damn it! Qiao Wei scolded angrily, and then took out the phone and dialed his father's number. When the phone was connected, he told his dad more about what we had found. Qiao Wei's father did not let us go back to London this time, but asked us to withdraw to the town first and wait for him to come and meet, and in twenty minutes he will come to the town with all the necessary tools, and the goal of tonight's action is also very clear - to kill the goddess of youth.
After hanging up the phone, Qiao Wei contacted the bearded deputy sheriff again, the corpses hanging in this warehouse must be forty or fifty, and it is impossible to put them down by just the two of us, even if they let the deputy sheriff come over, they can only find more people to come.
We're not worried about startling the snake by doing so, after all, the snake has already scared this morning, and whatever Eden plans to do next, we'll have to kill him.
In less than ten minutes, Deputy Sergeant Mustachioed and two other police officers arrived at the barn, and when they saw the skinless muscular people in this room, they were also completely speechless, and the police officer who had just come over today even ran directly to the dock and vomited for a while.
Qiao Wei and I also told Mustache about what we were going to do with the Goddess of Youth. This process is very necessary, we have to kill not only Eden, but also the leather walker who made her a servant, there will be a massacre in the town tonight, so the police must make sure that they do not come out to stir up the trouble, and even help from the sidelines.
The mustache had been with us for a day, and he knew very well what he should and should not do, so he nodded decisively and agreed.
Everything was ready, and the next step was to meet the moment of the decisive battle, when it was completely dark, and suddenly there was a long neighing of horses in the woods.
I just remembered that we were chasing a horse to find this place!
Sunset, Skinwalker ......
"That's not right! That horse is not a horse, it's a fucking skinwalker! It dawned on me.
