Chapter 4: The Master of the Ice Cave
The corpses have become specimens, why can't we be sure that they are really dead? I was confused by the fat brother, so I asked, "What do you mean?" Why do you talk like a strange smell now? ”
The fat brother said: "It's very simple, didn't you sue us, have you ever seen the corpse of a one-horned person?" ”
I nodded and said, "Yes." ”
The fat brother then said, "When you saw the corpse of the one-horn, was the one-horn dead?" ”
I immediately understood what the fat brother meant, his thinking jumped too much.
It's not that I haven't thought about it, it's that I really don't dare to think about it, if I see the body of the unicorn once, but the unicorn is still alive, then it can at least be explained, as I thought before, there is always one fake, either disguised and pretended, or the unicorn has twin brothers.
If you see the body of the unicorn twice, and the unicorn is still alive, how can you explain it? Triplets? Or is there a group of fans of the unicorn who specialize in plastic surgery according to the appearance of the unicorn? The face of the single horn is too depressing, whoever looks like him will die.
Seeing that I was silent, the fat brother continued to express his opinion: "I think that the unicorn is definitely not dead yet. We were in the snow cave before, when we saw the unicorn fighting with the black dragon, the unicorn was injured, and this corpse had no scars on its body, and judging by the expression, most of them died of breathlessness, either drowning or suffocation, and it was definitely not bitten to death by some fierce beast, right? ”
The words about the fat brother of the dead method are not credible, but unfortunately Lu Shan is not there, I looked around, and decided to ask Su Rina, after all, people have contact at work.
I looked at Surina and asked, "What do you think?" ”
Su Rina was not as scared as Jiang Li and Yan Qiu, and said with a very cold expression: "What the fat brother said has some truth, but there are loopholes. ”
Needless to say, I urged her to talk about the loopholes.
Su Rina said: "If it is said that the dead unicorn is sealed in the ice, it is a strange person who specializes in collecting corpses, then it is also possible to do some repair on the corpse before collecting, it is darker here, and the roof of the cave is high, we can't see it so carefully, and there may be injuries that we didn't find." Also, if this person is indeed not a single horn, then his death is not only suffocation, but also may have a heart attack or something, and an autopsy must be done by a professional. ”
She said very rigorously, as a case-handling officer, it is absolutely correct to be as rigorous as possible, but for our current analysis and judgment, it seems a bit sharp.
I don't care how he died, anyway, he died of internal injuries, and the frozen human corpse doesn't know if it's a human or a monster, and it's a bit too much to take it for granted that he will repair the corpse.
In my mind, I have been biased towards the fat brother's statement, this man is not a single horn, or rather, this person is not the one who fought with the black dragon, he and the corpse I saw in the arsenal are grouped together, and it is temporarily called a replica of the single horn.
A new question arose in my mind, that is, where did these replicas come from? What's wrong with a unicorn for this replica? And why did these replicas die? Where is the right eye?
Although there are doubts, but I am not eager to solve these doubts, even if the unicorn is alien Ke/Long into the football team, it has nothing to do with us, it is best to solve this question, and it does not affect all of us if it cannot be solved.
In order to adjust my state and get my thinking back on track, I try not to think about the unicorn, keep persuading myself that there are still a lot of things to do, I don't have time to pay attention to the ins and outs of the unicorn, and now the most important thing is to ensure the safety of everyone in the team, at least for the time being, I am still the decision-maker of this team.
Thinking of this, I thought that my mood would be relaxed, but I didn't expect to be even more nervous, because we actually forgot one thing for so long, that is, it is our danger that seals/unicorn corpses.
I hurriedly got up, not bothering to complain about my own negligence, and hurriedly said to everyone, "What else are you talking about?" Run, you can't stay here for long. ”
Everyone also realized that we were a little bit out of order, so we quickly got up and walked out, the sound of hail could no longer be heard outside, and it was best to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible while there was no weather obstruction.
But as soon as we reached the upward corner, the fat brother turned to one side and stopped us with his arm.
I was just about to accuse the fat brother of delaying time, but there was a sound of footsteps outside the cave, the footsteps were not loud, but because the structure of the ice cave was heard very clearly, and with the sound of footsteps, it was a heavy pant sound that was getting closer and closer.
It's broken, it's broken, I'm afraid of what's coming, it's over, and it's time to drag out a conversation, and the owner of the cave is back, and this time I have to be blocked in the hole by this monster.
I heard that the other party had already arrived at the entrance of the cave, and it was impossible to run out, so I took everyone and tiptoed back to the cave as much as possible, trying to find a place for everyone to hide.
But when we got back to the cave, we realized that there was no hiding place at all, the ice cave was empty, the ice walls were smooth, and there was nothing to furnish except for a bed made of animal skins.
In desperation, I took off my backpack and pushed it with both hands, and as soon as I lay on my stomach, kicked my legs, pressed my belly to the ground, and skated, I got into the semi-circular hole.
The others also hurried to follow my example and got in one by one.
After entering, there is another space, a larger ice cave, not a passage as I imagined, it seems that this semi-circular hole is a small door for the inside and outside.
The ice room inside is not as delicate as the outside, the walls are all unpolished, pure natural ice rooms, and there are many ice cave-like passages that extend in all directions, like the center of a sewer system.
Originally, in my mind, the owner of this place was a tall snowman with white hair, saliva, and a big wooden stick, and in an instant, he had turned into a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle with a pot lid on his back.
After entering, Su Rina shone the ice room with a flashlight, almost scaring us half to death.
Because on the wall of the cave inside, all kinds of postures, all kinds of expressions, frozen with one-horned corpses, no clothes, no right eyes, and even some limbs are mutilated and incomplete.
The appearance of this scene directly overturned all my previous speculations, and instead leaned more towards the Ke Long people, which is simply an exhibition hall of one-horned corpses. In comparison, seeing this scene is more terrifying than rushing to fight monsters.
There is also a detail, on the two ice walls, two large rectangular ice blocks were taken down, and the ice cubes were hollowed out in the middle, like two ice coffins.
Everyone couldn't speak with their mouths open, and they didn't dare to say it, because there was still a danger of life outside.
Before we could catch our breath, a big burden was pushed in at the small hole where we entered. The big burden looked a little familiar, but after a closer look, I realized that it was the shàn cloth that covered the tank in the arsenal, and of course, it was also the cloth that covered the body of the one-horned horn that was blown up, and I don't know what was in it.
After the whole burden was pushed in, there was a male corpse pushed in, no need to think about it, it must be a one-horned corpse, and the body was full of new injuries, some muscles had been broken and turned out, and I felt sick to my stomach when I looked at it.
What else to see, then look at the main lord and come in, we are like a herd of sheep without the care of a shepherd dog, scattered and fled, randomly found an ice-like tunnel, and hid inside.
The direction I ran, followed by Yan Qiu, we didn't dare to make a sound when we got into the ice cave, and showed one eye with our faces sideways, observing what happened next.
It was a man, he had slipped in in a lying position, dressed all the more familiar to us, with pigtails, strips of colored rags, bare upper body, and scars on his dark muscles. He wears a red grimace mask on his face, and the two long fangs on the mask are particularly scary.
I immediately realized that this man was actually a heritage worker, just like the corpse that tricked us into doing something unknown, not representing a person, but a profession.
When the man entered, he dragged the dead body's feet with one hand and the tarpaulin with the other, and walked towards the two ice coffins.
Walking to the ice coffin, he threw the scarred corpse into an ice coffin, and shook off the tarpaulin, just as I imagined, it was the body with a broken arm and leg wrapped inside, which was also thrown into another ice coffin. Then the weirdo pushed the two ice coffins back into the ice wall.
Now I can see clearly, it turns out that all these frozen corpses were sealed in this way.
I thought that when he was done, he was going out, and we didn't have to hide, so we could breathe a sigh of relief. I didn't expect his business to be done yet.
He walked to the center of the ice room, sat cross-legged on the floor, and began to hum a little song in his mouth.
It was a language we had never heard before, it seemed more like chanting some kind of scripture, and I guess he was overliving the dead.
Singing and singing, the strange man's body actually rose from the ground, and the whole person floated cross-legged in the air one foot above the ground. R1058
