Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Little Devil Makes a Fool
I didn't wait for me to understand this question, and I saw the two of them squatting next to the corpse, Zhen Rui glanced at Zhong Gong, Zhong Gong took out the incense from the equipment bag and lit it, the so-called three ghosts and four, Zhong Gong held the four pillars of incense in his hand and lit it, and there were words in his mouth: "Brother Xu, blame us for being one step late, we couldn't save your life, you go with peace of mind, I will cremate you in a while, promise to bring the ashes back, return to the roots, and never let you stay alone in this place, your family, the head of the family will definitely be properly settled." But your corpse is now rotting strangely, we have to figure it out, if you offend, I hope for our good intentions, don't blame. ”
After saying this, he took out the smokeless stove, inserted the incense on the stove, and used it as an incense burner, and then saw Yuan Rui holding a dagger and cutting it off the chest and abdomen of the corpse of the know-it-all. At this cut, the liquefied yellow water came straight out, and the stench was even worse, and the rest of us couldn't help but retreat in unison.
Tofu was angry and wanted to go up to stop him, so I grabbed him and said, "Don't go over." ”
Tofu covered his mouth and said sullenly: "It's not enough, everyone is dead, the two of them are too immoral to do this, they can hold on to their full meals!" ”
I don't feel uncomfortable in my heart, after all, this time in our team, everyone is of one mind, and they get along all the way, except for Ouyang Xuan, who has a little eldest lady's temper and makes some unpleasant trouble, everyone gets along very kindly. Even if we haven't been together for a long time, when I recall it, I can still remember the smile when I camped in the desert, and the admiration for Zhong Gong that appeared in my eyes from time to time. Everyone has their own idol, and I heard that the jack-of-all-trades were promoted by Zhong Gong single-handedly.
When Zhong Gong was planting incense, I saw this meticulous iron man, and his eyes were moist. Along the way, everyone has also experienced danger several times and helped each other, and now my companion has ended up like this, I can't stand it, not to mention that Tofu has always been soft-hearted, so seeing his fierce reaction, I can only comfort and talk about the reason.
This giant corpse will only appear after a long period of decay, and from me and Tofu leaving, to being trapped in the stone wall, to escaping from danger, and opening the golden giant door, in fact, the process is not long, about three to four hours, how can the corpse become like this in such a short period of time?
Zhen Rui is obviously conducting an autopsy now, for the inverted dou family, in terms of understanding of corpses, it must be better than those of us who are halfway monks, it seems that Zhen Rui wants to find out the reason.
Tofu still couldn't bear it, and said, "Didn't you say it, it may be caused by the environment...... Besides, people are dead, what's the use of tracking them down? ”
I asked rhetorically, "What if it's not the environment?" ”
Tofu was silent, not talking, sitting on the stone steps, with his back to the body of the know-it-all, not looking at the behavior of the two of them. No one wanted to see it, and the rest of us simply turned around and stood on guard to prevent anything else from happening, or the Screamers from attacking again. ,
In about ten minutes, a simple autopsy was completed, Zhen Rui and Zhong Gong put solid fuel on the corpse, began to light the corpse, took off their dirty gloves and coats and threw them on the stone steps, both of them looked a little solemn.
Finally, Zhong Gong spoke first: "The results show that the body has been dead for ten to twelve days. ”
Zhang Wen was taken aback and said, "How can this be, the time should be less than four hours." ”
Tofu said: "Could it be that Lao Xu's corpse has traveled through time and space?" "At this time, with the support of solid fuel, the fire of the crematorium was blazing, and because the corpse was already flatulated, the burning time was shortened, and in about twenty minutes, only the ashes remained.
The smoke from the corpses was so thick that everyone retreated to the bottom of the stone steps, looking up at the flames burning high in front of them, and their voices were heavy.
Why did the corpse of a jack-of-all-trades produce such a change in less than four hours? Could it really be that as Tofu said, this corpse has traveled through time and space? The rest of the people obviously didn't understand what was going on, and for a moment everyone was silent, and the darkness was dispelled a lot by the raging flames, because they were wearing gas masks, so the stench of burning was isolated, and after about twenty minutes, the flames were extinguished, leaving a pile of gray-white ashes with charred black particles on the ground.
Zhong Gong freed up a waterproof tool bag, put the ashes in it, patted the bulging bag, as if patting the shoulder of the jack-of-all-trades, and then put the sealed bag into the equipment bag, and said, "Xiao Xu, go home." "I can see that in fact, in the whole team, it should be Zhong Gong who is uncomfortable.
After everyone gathered up the ashes, they no longer had time to dwell on why the corpse was decomposing faster, and then they went up the stone steps, ready to follow the way they came, and walked to the bottom of the cave to return, who knew that when we got to the same place, we looked up with the light, and found that the rope we had originally erected had fallen down and landed on the stone steps for some reason.
Due to the special material of the stone chamber above, it was impossible to nail down the ground, so we used a very long iron chisel to cross the square hole above the hole, and then erected the rope, and the rope was also tightened and tightened.
Tofu said, "It's over, the rope has slid down, how can we go up such a high distance." ”
I motioned for everyone to gather their lights together and hit the hole above, and said, "We have the Vaginal Claw, and as long as the iron chisel is still in the hole, we can put up another rope." "I find it more strange than whether or not I can set up the rope, but why the rope fell down.
At this time, everyone's lights all hit the upper position in unison, and the iron chisel between them was still in place. Everyone felt that something was wrong with the rope suddenly falling, and after several tests of the hole above for a while, they didn't find anything wrong.
Where has Ouyang Xuan suffered these hardships, after this toss, her body seemed to be a little uncomfortable, and she hugged her arms and said cold. Zhen Rui probed her forehead and said that she had a fever, so it was better to leave this place and settle down as soon as possible. So everyone didn't think much about it, they took out the probe claw, put the rope on the probe claw, and launched it through the guò trap box, with great force. After the box was fired, the rope flew upwards violently, and the probe claw firmly stuck the iron chisel above.
Zhen Rui pulled twice, very firmly, so he climbed up first, everyone's eyes were on Zhen Rui, and he didn't look away for a while, and at this moment, I suddenly caught a glimpse of the cave entrance, I don't know when, a huge black shadow suddenly appeared, just blocked above the cave entrance, and I couldn't see whether it was a person or a ghost.
I was taken aback and shouted, "Descend, come down!" ”
Zhen Rui obviously also found out and wanted to retreat, but at this critical moment, the rope that was obviously stable slipped away suddenly! In an instant, Zhen Rui, who had already climbed ten meters high, fell down suddenly.
In a hurry, I subconsciously pounced forward and slammed into Zhen Rui, who was about to hit the ground. This collision weakened gravity, but I and Zhen Rui were unstable, the downward inclined stone steps couldn't control the shape for a while, and then rolled down, kowtowed and touched feet, and then it was inevitable, the pain needless to say, the key is that the two sides of the stone steps are suspended, there is no guardrail at all, and the two of us can't control it, so they roll directly towards the edge of the stone steps.
At the last moment, I reached out and grabbed Zhen Rui's feet, and Zhen Rui also reacted very quickly, and quickly broke the stone steps with both hands, and the two of them hung in the air.
At this time, Zhen Rui relied on his two hands to bear the strength of the two of us, the muscles of his arms were tense, and Tofu and the others rushed down in a hurry, hurriedly dragging Zhen Rui and pulling people up. When the two of us climbed the stone steps, our faces were blue and purple, panting, and I was afraid for a while.
I breathed a sigh of relief and thanked Zhen Rui: "Thanks to you, otherwise I would have fallen just now." ”
Zhen Rui stopped and said, "If it wasn't for your collision just now, I would have been crippled even if I didn't fall to my death." ”
Tofu said: "Don't be polite to each other, what was lying on the top of the cave just now?" I shook my head and said, "I don't see it clearly." Half of his handsome face was gloomy, and the other half of his disfigured face looked terrifying, he squinted his eyes and said, "I saw it, it was the thing that led us down before." ”
What led us down?
I chuckled in my heart, isn't that the kid?
Hiss...... What the hell does that kid want to do? I remembered what it had been doing, and it dawned on me that the girl had been leading us to this place all along, and now, as we were going up, it was getting in the way.
Does it want to trap us here?
Tofu was surprised, and then said angrily: "I also helped it cremated, this kid is so conscienceless, if it weren't for the wood not eating the soft zongzi, I would have to let the wood swallow it!" I asked Tofu not to talk about these things, and said, "If that girl keeps guarding it, we won't be able to go up at all, so we have to find a way." ”
Zhen Rui said: "Lead it down, face to face." ”
Tofu hissed and said, "What are you going to do with it?" Zhen Rui glanced at the tofu and said lukewarmly: "Say it now, will it still be fooled?" After that, he gestured to Zhong Gong and motioned for incense.
As usual, Zhong Gong lit a jade beauty first, and in an instant, the orange flame suddenly turned blue-green.
Tofu whispered, "I'm gasping." ”
