In the current year...... Already dead??

Ye Yu stared at the gloomy man standing in front of him nervously, wondering if he really encountered some monster who "borrowed the corpse to return the soul", right? However, this unsound idea was quickly suppressed by him, Ye Yu guessed the meaning of Zhou Jinping's words, and suddenly thought of a possibility......

"If Zhou Jinping had died in the tomb that year, then you ...... Isn't it Zhou Shenping himself? Ye Yu calmed down and questioned.

"Hahahaha......! What an interesting person. The man in front of him raised his head and laughed, as if he had heard something interesting, but soon he stopped laughing and tilted his head to look at Ye Yu meaningfully.

"Then what if I am Zhou Jinping himself?"

Zhou Jinping stared at Ye Yu's shocked expression in front of him, and while sneering, he began to unbutton the military coat on his body one by one.

A rancid smell accompanied by blood filled the air in an instant, making Ye Yu reflexively take two steps back, but after seeing Zhou Jinping's body wrapped in his coat, his movements suddenly froze.

"You...... You...... This is!! Ye Yu's pupils instantly constricted, and even his voice trembled a little under the huge shock, he looked at the body in front of him, and couldn't believe his eyes.

The gray-yellow skin did not have the slightest blood color belonging to the living, obviously in the prime of life, the muscles of Zhou Jinping's whole body showed a strange atrophy trend, and even the skin was covered with folds that did not match his age, but what was even more terrifying was that his torso and limbs were rotting in large chunks, revealing patches of dark red muscle tissue, and some wriggling white insects loomed inside the wound, which seemed to be maggots.

"Goo...... "Goo" Ye Yu couldn't hold back any longer, and directly turned his head and vomited.

That...... Can that kind of body be called a "human"!? No...... It's a carrion. A "living" carrion!!

"Hehehe, what I said before, I should understand it now, right?" Zhou Jinping laughed miserably, and the general's coat was wrapped back up.

"From the skin the size of a fingernail at the beginning, to the limbs and then to the torso...... For more than ten years, I have watched my body decay step by step, and I can't survive or die! And all this started when I went down to that "ghost tomb"! ”

"So...... You just said you were back then...... Already dead? Ye Yu has no way to vomit. He raised his head and looked at Zhou Jinping, still not recovering from the shock.

"Hmph, how can it be called 'alive'?" Zhou Jinping snorted. "Over the years, I have been trying to recover the Blood Keystone, in fact, to a large extent, to alleviate the rate of decay of my body."

"What does this have to do with the Bloodkeystone?" Ye Yu frowned, not understanding what the other party was referring to.

"Hehe, of course it does! I'm entangled in the 'curse' of that tomb! And the Blood Keystone ...... It's the only magic weapon to unlock that "curse"! Zhou Jinping looked excited.

"The symptoms of decay began after I sold my first Blood Keystone, and every time I got rid of it after that. My decay sped up a minute, and that's when I realized the relationship between the Keystone and this symptom, and I stumbled upon the Bloodkeystone's magical power to read the memories of others......"

"So you're starting to figure out how to recycle the Bloodkeystones that were sold?"

"Yes, but it was too late to recycle it all. Many people have already discovered the secret of the Blood Keystone, and I can only use the only 'Blood Keystone Brooch' left in my hand to try to find the others, but unfortunately people are not as good as heaven. In the end, even the only one was taken away...... Even if you go through a lot of hard work to get the 'Blood Key Bracelet', it's no different from losing it! Zhou Jinping seemed to remember something and gritted his teeth. A look of resentment appeared on his face. ”

"Since then, my physical condition has deteriorated, and although that 'curse' will not let you die immediately, it will torment you bit by bit for a long period of years, making you watch your body grow maggots and rot step by step...... In the end, it becomes not like a human being, and a ghost is not like a ghost! Can you imagine this pain?! ”

Ye Yu looked at Zhou Jinping's roaring appearance and was speechless for a long time. To be honest, if I had encountered something like the other party, I am afraid that I would have collapsed mentally, and this Zhou Jinping can still hold on for so many years, this kind of willpower is far beyond the reach of people.

"I remember that there seems to be another person who escaped from the tomb with you, and that person is also your case?" Ye Yu thought of the Yao Zijian in the information.

"Yes, he was much more rotten than I was, and then I couldn't bear it and wiped my neck." Zhou Jinping said lightly.

Is it suicidal? According to official information, Yao Zijian died in a factional fight with tomb robbers, and it seems that he deliberately concealed the abnormality of his body......

Ye Yu thought about it, but heard Zhou Jinping open his mouth again.

"Actually, suicide is a relief, but I don't want to do that! I'm not reconciled!! Zhou Jinping roared. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will take back those Blood Keystones that belong to me and unlock the curse! ”

"Cursed...... Is it?

Ye Yu suddenly remembered that he seemed to have heard the mysterious white-clothed young man mention it in his dream, but he was just ......

"You were in the tomb...... Have you ever met any strange people? For example...... Teenage boys? Ye Yu looked at Zhou Jinping, and finally raised the question that he was extremely concerned about.

"How can Xia Dou bring that kind of milky little fart child? Have you been kicked in the head by a donkey?! Zhou Jinping scolded disdainfully. At that time, except for the gang of people in the road I brought, there were no other half of them! ”

Really...... It's a dream, after all.

A trace of disappointment flashed in Ye Yu's heart, and then he asked again:

"And where did you find these Blood Keystones?"

"Where else could it be? So important things are, of course, found in the coffin of the main burial chamber! "Zhou Jinping is a little impatient." Speaking of which, it was Lao Tzu's luck to be able to find the main tomb at the beginning, when it happened to encounter a collapse of the Yongdao and broke a large number of Lao Tzu's people, but it also collapsed the dark wall, so the main tomb was discovered. ”

What the......!?

Ye Yu's heart suddenly trembled when he heard this, the situation described by Zhou Jinping was almost exactly the same as what he dreamed of!

"That'...... Is there a mural on the wall of that corridor? Ye Yu continued to ask, his face a little pale.

"I think there is, some little black man...... But I didn't read it anymore. What are you asking all this for? Zhou Jinping narrowed his eyes and forced Ye Yu to look.

"I didn't ...... It's nothing, usually the murals in ancient tombs will record the life of the tomb owner, so I want to know who is buried in the tomb. Ye Yu looked away in a weak heart, and explained in a hesitant manner, but what he was thinking about was the same behavior as himself in the dream.

Is...... The same......

"I don't care who he buried! I just need the baby inside! Zhou Jinping snorted coldly. There were a lot of things in there, but unfortunately there were only two people left at that time, and the things brought out were limited, and I wanted to go down and pick up some treasures after I went out, but then the tomb was discovered by the government and sealed off......"

"What does it look like inside the main burial chamber?"

"Why do you kid have so many questions?? It's going to take an inch, right?! "Zhou Jinping has obviously reached the limit of patience." Lao Tzu has already told you so much news, what else! ”

Ye Yu was silent, and his heart gradually sank.

In fact, even if Zhou Jinping no longer answers, he has already got the answer. Although it is unbelievable, the details mentioned by Zhou Jinping earlier are enough to confirm one thing, that is, without the help of any information, he crossed the shackles of time and space from his dream, and "visited" the Loulan ancient tomb from Zhou Jinping's perspective.

Why do I dream of these? Why do I know Zhou Jinping's memory?

Ye Yu, who originally wanted to solve the puzzle, was completely messy now, and even faintly panicked, he didn't know what this situation meant, but obviously someone knew-

That's the director of the Special Affairs Investigation Bureau who built a replica of the tomb scene exactly like his dream in the investigator exam!

Ye Yu subconsciously had a feeling that he seemed to be involved in some deeper conspiracy, and he was like a marionette on the stage of this conspiracy, involuntarily being pushed farther and farther away according to the established script.

Ye Yu shook his head and forcibly calmed down, at this time he still had one more thing to verify with Zhou Jinping, and it was also the one that made him the most uneasy.

"One last question, after I finish asking it, I will fulfill my previous promise to tell you the whereabouts of the Ring of the Blood Key." Ye Yu looked at Zhou Jinping again, and the most important picture in that nightmare appeared in his mind-

The lifelike thousand-year-old female corpse, and the dry bones that later crawled out of the coffin and wrapped around her own body in the dream...... If there is really a "curse", the source of the curse must be the female corpse!

"The coffin...... That is, the coffin where you found the Blood Keystone, is there a corpse in it? ”

“！”

Zhou Jinping didn't seem to expect to ask such a question, and was stunned for a moment, some unnatural expressions appeared on his face, and his eyes suddenly lost focus.

"Corpse...... There's ...... in there."

"Bang!"

A loud bang interrupted Zhou Jinping's answer, and he suddenly came back to his senses, immediately pulled out his gun, and turned to look at the iron gate behind him.

"Hmph, I didn't expect to hide here, it really made me easy to find for a while~"

The coquettish female voice echoed in the empty laboratory with a burst of cold meaning, and in the dim light, Ye Yu saw the silhouette of a woman holding a gun appear abruptly at the door.

"This time, you can't run!" (To be continued.) )
