Chapter 42: The Alchemy Room
I shone my flashlight on it and flipped it up one by one. I have to say that every time I open a basket, my heart beats.
As I guessed, there was a child's corpse in each basket, but they all died in different ways, with different organs removed except for the eyes.
I didn't have the time or energy to examine the corpses one by one, so I just picked two random children's corpses and looked at them.
One of them died of liver disease, and the other had a problem with the rectal system.
These are all children, such a young body, under normal circumstances, they shouldn't have this strange disease. If you think about it, there is only one possibility, after they were captured by the Demon Heart Arhat, they were forcibly drugged.
I don't know what the specific intention of the Demon Heart Arhat is, maybe it's doing experiments, maybe it's related to alchemy and things like Danding, right?
Looking at so many innocent child corpses, my heart was a little heavy, but I also understood that now was not the time to be sad, and I also noticed that each child corpse had a wooden sign hanging around its neck, which was unusual and hard. In addition, the wooden plaques are engraved with words, not to say that I am lonely and unheard, but this character is not Chinese at all, there is a feeling of ghost drawing symbols.
I compared the two wooden signs, the words on them are different, and the content should be different.
I wasn't going to stay here long, so I just dragged a wooden plaque in my pocket and put the rest of the wooden plaque and the child's corpse here.
I want to leave first, and after I find Jiang Shaoyan and the iron donkey, I will tell them about the situation here, and if necessary, we will come back together.
The walkie-talkie on my waist is gone, so I can't use it to contact other people. I looked at my surroundings in a tangled way, and finally came up with an idea. I walked along the trail of water, and if I was lucky, I would be able to meet other people on the way, and if I was unlucky, I would return to the entrance of the Water Curtain Cave and wait there to meet the others.
I did the same, but after walking more than a hundred meters, I realized that the plan was not working.
There were five forks in the road in front of me, I looked at them and wanted to scold my mother, and said that if there was only one fork in the road, then it would be good to say, I would be lucky to go down, and there was a fifty percent chance of being able to choose the right one.
But at the five forks in the road, which one I choose, the chances are very slim.
I was a little tired, so I leaned against a cave wall, pondered, and tried to think of another way that would work.
But just by accident, I heard a very slight click. This caught my attention, and upon closer examination, I could hear that the clicking sound was coming from the leftmost fork in the road.
It feels to me that this clicking sound seems to be from a pistol, as if someone is pulling the chamber of the gun, my first reaction must be Jiang Shaoyan or the iron donkey, only they have guns.
But I didn't think too much about it, and I couldn't rule out that it was the devil's heart Arhat who caused the ghost.
I quickly turned down the brightness of the flashlight, even so low that I could barely make my way by the light. I deliberately tiptoed so that my weight fell on my toes, and I walked without making a sound.
I walked down the leftmost fork in the road, which at first was also dirt roads, but soon became "smelly", and not only was there no dirt on the road, but it was also paved with a layer of green bricks.
I looked around and found that the walls of the cave were carved with various alchemy monk and child paintings, which were more delicate and realistic than those I had seen before.
I have a gut feeling that this place is not ordinary.
When he went some further, there was a light in the distance, and a cave wall was cut out, and there was an additional stone door on it. This stone gate is hidden, and from here the light comes out.
I didn't dare to gasp for breath, so I quietly leaned over and poked my head a little to look in.
It is a large stone house, estimated to have an area of thirty or forty square meters, and an oil lamp was lit.
I saw two corpses hanging in a corner, and it was a bit reluctant to call them corpses. Their entire skin was lying on their stomachs, and the flesh on their bodies was almost stripped up, and it would be okay to describe them as skeletons of bones.
On the ground next to them, there were several pieces of clothing, as well as some knives, ropes, and two shriveled backpacks.
I guessed that these two were supposed to be members of the Black Tiger Squad. The Demon Heart Arhat had leaked it before and skinned them. What I didn't expect was that they were not only skinned, but also died so miserably.
I pressed my nerve and looked elsewhere. In the center of the stone house, there is a large furnace that is one person high, and there is a fire in the furnace, which seems to be alchemizing. There was also a man sitting by the hearth.
He was bald-headed, skinny, and skinny, and wore a robe. It is said that even if there are some decorations on the robe, it is enough to write some scriptures, and on his robe, all the paintings are eyeballs.
Based on this alone, I have a guess that this person is a demonic arhat.
He didn't notice me, so he sat sullen and fiddled with his pistol down. But he doesn't know how to play with guns, it's just a fool's errand.
At this moment, I was very scared because I had met the main master. In addition, I was a little excited, I always felt that we had worked so hard to find him, and now we finally arrested him, and it would be a pity not to catch him.
I quietly retracted my head and stood against the wall, my mind racing.
Now it's just me, and I must calculate how to catch the Demon Heart Arhat, otherwise there will be one more corpse hanging in the stone house in a while.
I thought of using poison. It's the only weapon I think is powerful.
I hurriedly secretly dispensed the medicine. I was afraid that a single poison would not be able to stop him, so I simply used snake venom with a high-intensity anesthetic.
After the match, I pondered again, how can I lure out the Demon Heart Arhat? If I learn what a mouse is called, will it have this effect?
I really didn't expect it, and I really didn't know where I was exposed, and before I could make the next move, the stone door was opened, and the Demon Heart Arhat poked his head out and looked out.
I was purely conditioned, and I turned my head, which is good, and we have become big eyes to small eyes.
Looking at each other at such a close distance, I found that the eyes of the Demon Heart Arhat were too cautious, which made my backbone cold, especially his face was almost skinny, which made me feel that I was looking at a human skin skull again.
The Demon Heart Arhat reacted faster than me, and he snorted, first stretched out his hands, and grabbed my neck fiercely.
He used a lot of force, which made my head buzz for a moment, but I am not a good stubble, and it is impossible to let him bully. Fighting the uncomfortable feeling of suffocation, I lifted the syringe and stabbed him in the neck.
I have to say, he was very stupid, he didn't guard my hand at all, and when the needles were all in, I pushed the needle hard.
I'm still a little proud, and I said look at it, he can be snorting now, and he will be asleep like a dead pig for a while.
But I was still happy too early, and after a few tries, I found that I couldn't push the needle at all, as if there was something in his neck that blocked the needle.
The Demon Heart Arhat was also hurt by the needle, and he freed up one hand and pushed hard against the syringe.
The syringe was blown off. He snorted, sneered, and continued to pinch me.
I'm dumbfounded, I don't have a weapon in my hand, how can I continue to fight with this pervert? The more he pinched, the more addicted he became, so he simply shifted his position and pushed me to the wall of the cave. Gradually, my whole body was about to hang.
I was so forced to do something that didn't have a glamorous move.
I was wearing stiff scalp shoes, so I used them to aim at the lower body of the Demon Heart Arhat, and I came at it fiercely.
The Demon Heart Arhat was in pain, and he wow uncomfortably, and finally let me go. I took advantage of the momentum and slashed him twice in the neck with the palm of my hand.
I felt that this was a neck, and it was an iron stake at all, and after I cut it, the edges of my palms ached.
The Demon Heart Arhat shook his head and suddenly opened his mouth to me.
I got closer, looked closely enough, and I could smell a strange smell wafting from his mouth, a feeling of fire oil, and a strong irritation.
I purely subconsciously came up with a sense of escape, thinking that his mouth must be fine.
I subconsciously lowered my head. It's also a shame that he hid fast enough, and when he snorted, the Demon Heart Arhat actually spewed out a mouthful of fire.
I shuddered in my heart, and said in my heart, this Nima is still a human being? How can you breathe fire? But for a moment I thought of acrobatics again, and they often played this trick.
The fire was not very strong, and it only lasted less than a second after it erupted, and then it was extinguished.
But it flew past my scalp and made me feel like I was heating up a little on the top of my head. That is, there is no mirror now, otherwise I will take a photo, whether I have been burned.
The Demon Heart Arhat is still going to fight with me, and I am very self-aware and know that it is not his opponent.
I didn't do anything either, so I hurriedly kicked him twice, and when I had forced him back, I turned around and fled.
The Demon Heart Arhat's movements are a little stiff, and he limps when he walks, but his chasing speed is not slow at all, I really doubt how he did it.
I panicked a little. It is true that the ground is paved with green bricks, but it is not so smooth, and occasionally cracked bricks appear.
I stepped on a broken brick, and I fell to the ground with an unbalanced look. The Demon Heart Arhat laughed, stretched out his hands, and waited to get closer to continue pinching me.
I looked at the broken brick, and with a cross in my heart, I picked it up and skimmed it at the head of the Demon Heart Arhat.
This time it was quite accurate, and the momentum was not small, and the smashed Demon Heart Arhat leaned back.
But his body is also too tough, he is almost 90 degrees on his back, but he can still force his waist to forcibly break his body back.
His successive actions just now completely frightened me from the inside out. I don't know where the momentum came from, but miraculously I stood up like a spring, and swished and swished into the distance.
The Demon Heart Arhat continued to chase, originally the two of us chased and ran, purely half a catty and eight taels, but the Demon Heart Arhat chased and chased, and suddenly stood still
