Chapter 42: The Dried Corpse
As the lid moved, there was a dull grinding sound, and the hand on the side of the coffin lid gradually revealed more, followed by a blue sleeve.
When I saw this color, I felt a wave of joy in my heart, because I remembered that the windproof jacket of the female doctor Lili was blue. At such a time, it is indeed a bit unkind to flash a happy feeling, but I am too lazy to condemn myself.
Soon, the coffin was opened in half, and from this half of the space, we could already see the scene inside the coffin. The dead body inside was Lili, a girl who was not pretty, but quite pleasing to the eye, but at this moment, her face was covered by black green and dried blood.
The black green is the blood accumulated after death, and those blood clots seem to come out of the mouth. The corpse was lying on its back, its eyes wide, and its eyeballs were already showing some signs of bulging, which looked extremely terrifying. Other than that, there seemed to be nothing else in the coffin, it was empty.
How did she die?
Soon, on her body, I found two gunshot wounds, one on the arm and one on the thigh, but these were not fatal wounds, the real fatal wounds should be in the mouth, her lips were completely rotten, as if they had been injured before she died.
The lazy man didn't seem to care at all about such a bloody scene, he wore gloves on his hands, so he didn't have any psychological pressure, and touched Lili's lips with his fingers, and as the rotten lips were broken, I immediately saw that her teeth were also broken, as if they had been beaten by something hard.
Her mouth was covered with blood clots, and she couldn't even see her tongue. Suddenly, I realized that the real fatal wound should be in the mouth, and eighty percent of the broken teeth were hit by a gun, and the bullet went directly into her mouth, causing death.
I was a little frightened: Who did this?
Wen Min? Team Liu? Or the dead Qin Shi?
This shot went straight into his mouth, and the accuracy was excellent, that Qin Shi was a photographer and had never fiddled with a gun, so it shouldn't be him. The biggest possibility is to die at the hands of Wen Min or Team Liu. It is impossible for Wen Min to kill people at will, if it was her, then Lili must have changed at that time.
Why did she shoot specifically in the mouth? I immediately thought of the long tongue from before, and said that Mo Fei Lili was also parasitized? That's why there is such a show?
At this moment, the contents of Lili's mouth were obviously gone, and I thought about it for a while, and made a series of speculations in my mind. It is estimated that Lili was the first to be parasitized, and then Wen Min or Team Liu shot to protect themselves, but after Lili died, that thing came out of her body and parasitized into Team Liu's body.
This parasitic process should be relatively secretive, otherwise Qin Shi would not have been carrying Team Liu all the time in the future. So, now that the three people in the team are dead, only Wen Min is left, where is she?
From what I know about Wen Min, in such an environment, she is likely to make two decisions, first, to find a way to find Team Liu and Qin Shi after they disappear; The second is to withdraw from this altar and wait for us to meet.
Along the way, we didn't find Wen Min's whereabouts, so she probably chose the second path, and when she found that the strange situation in this place was not something she could handle, she chose to withdraw and wait for support. Thinking of this possibility, I breathed a sigh of relief and put Lili's hand on the side of the coffin back into the coffin.
One last glance at her, I motioned for the lazy to close the lid on the coffin. No one spoke during the whole process, the lazy man was too lazy to speak, and I was a taboo person, so I didn't speak. The person who is upside down is very taboo to talk to the corpse in the coffin, and the corpse that dies horizontally is dyed with the yang energy of the living, and it is easy for the corpse to change. I don't have confidence in my luck at all, in Tofu's words, bad luck. The protagonist in the TV series is a master when he falls into a cave, and there is a cheat when he falls off a cliff, while I am a corpse that sees a corpse and a coffin opens.
I don't want to prove the unfortunate constitution caused by this curse.
In silence, the two of us pushed the lid of the coffin, ready to put it back on.
However, at this moment, the movement in the lazy man's hand suddenly paused, and then stared at the coffin.
I chuckled in my heart, and my eyes shifted to Lili, and I said fuck, it can't really be a corpse, right? However, at a glance, the corpse was still the same as before, and there was no movement, let alone long hair, and there was no corpse appearance.
In that case, what are the lazy people looking at?
I gave him an inquiring look, but the lazy man didn't speak, but suddenly reached into the coffin, grabbed Lili's hair, and roughly lifted the stiff corpse out of the coffin, and threw it aside with a bang.
Although I knew that the lazy man was a sadistic and murderous person, I didn't expect him to be like this, there is a way that the dead are greater, and they are also our fellow travelers, everyone is dead, how can he still be so vicious? A trace of anger flashed in my heart, I looked at Lili's corpse on the side, and couldn't help but say in a deep voice: "You are enough, leave a line in everything." ”
He tossed the body aside, but he didn't even look at it, and only cast a lazy, indifferent look at me, and then looked back into the coffin. I followed his gaze and realized that there was something in the coffin.
It was a skinny dry corpse, about the size of a young man, who had been pressed under Lili before, so it was not found. I was a little surprised, and then I understood what the lazy guy had just done, but the act of throwing the corpse away was still very disgusting.
Hari Chagai on the side also came up, and the three of us were corpses, blocking the open space around the coffin. Hari Chagai sat on another coffin, stared at the dried corpse in the coffin, and snorted, "Strange, strange." ”
I saw that this dried corpse was very strange, and its whole body was tied with ropes, and that kind of rope was the kind of black rope on the bronze wheel before, which should have undergone some kind of special treatment, so it has not rotted so far. The rope tied the dried corpse very tightly, and the dried corpse's mouth was wide open, as if there was something in it.
I tilted the light slightly, and the light went into his mouth, but I couldn't see anything, only a black hole, and the throat and the like were already sticking together, and the inside of the hole was full of oil.
I felt a little dry in my throat and coughed uncomfortably.
Hari Chagai said, "You say, why is this corpse being tied up? It doesn't look very old, could it be that he committed some crime before his death? Hari Chagai is not a professional inverted bucket after all, so this speculation is very unreliable, so I corrected: "How can the person who can be put in the coffin be a prisoner?" "Book of Burial" cloud: buried, hidden, but not visible. This place is not a tomb, but an altar, and placing these corpses in the altar of the suppression of 01 is more like some kind of sacrifice than a crime. Otherwise, the bodies should have been buried and hidden. ”
When Hari Chagai heard this, he gave a thumbs up with a smile and said: "Interlaced like a mountain, worthy of a professional, you mean, these corpses were actually used for sacrifice before death?" I nodded. Team Liu had already said that the people of the ancient city of Silkworm Swallowing would carry out sacrificial activities every year, borrowing the power of Tianyan to suppress 01, and this kind of sacrifice was probably to use these living people to sacrifice Tianyan.
At this moment, the Heavenly Eye is being placed in my equipment bag, this small thing, it is so powerful, I don't know whether it is true or false. Is it an exaggerated myth of the ancients, or can it really borrow the so-called 'god' power?
But at this time, the lazy man suddenly said: "These ropes are tied too tightly." ”
I subconsciously said: "Probably because I'm afraid that they will struggle, these people should be sealed in the coffin alive, it's really cruel." ”
However, the lazy man was obviously not satisfied with my answer, he glanced at me, pointed to the corpse, and reminded: "The corpse and the rope should not be so tight." When he reminded me, I suddenly realized something that we had overlooked.
If the rope was tied while alive, then it is normal to cling to the flesh. But in the process of qualitative transformation of the corpse, dehydration, muscle atrophy, and finally a dry corpse, and the whole corpse shrinks and deforms, then the rope should also be loosened.
But now, these ropes are strangled to dry corpses.
In this way, there is only one possibility, that is, these corpses, before they were put into the coffin, were already like this, but they were roped.
But what's the point of tying up a dried corpse like this?
Could it be that these corpses show signs of corpse transformation?
As I was pondering the reason for this, the lazy man suddenly turned his gaze to the right, and in that position was a square entrance, and judging by the non-circular arch shape, it was clear that we had left the ground.
His ears moved slightly, staring at the dark entrance, and said, "Someone is coming." ”
I don't doubt his words, in this regard, the lazy man has hardly made a mistake, he said that if he is a human, he will not be a ghost.
Except for us, the only possible living person in this place seems to be Wen Min.
Could it be her?
