Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Giant in the Corps
I have been with Tofu and the corpse fairy for a long time, and naturally I can see that something is wrong with the corpse fairy, Tofu hissed, and said in a low voice: "The wood seems to have something to say, it won't let you in, could it be that there is any danger behind this?" β
I looked at the corpse fairy's expression, so I said: "Needless to say, it looks like there must be something greasy." "At first, I thought it was the corpse fairy who couldn't understand us, so he didn't want to enter the door, but now it seems that the corpse fairy's consciousness has obviously grown a little, it can understand our words, in this case, it doesn't want to enter this door, could it be that there is something in this door that makes it feel taboo?
I feel a little scary, my back is creepy, what can make the corpse fairy taboo? Thinking of the menacing swooping Duo before, it suddenly disappeared when the door opened, and it was obvious that this door was also at work.
What is it, exactly?
For a while, the corpse fairy blocked the door and didn't let us in, but made everyone's hearts rise to their throats. At this time, Ouyang Xuan mentioned yì to Tofu, saying that since there was danger inside, just let the corpse fairy go in and take a look, anyway, it was originally dead, and there would be no problems.
Tofu was furious, angry and disappointed, and said to Ouyang Xuan: "You have to go by yourself, don't fight its idea." β
Ouyang Xuan snorted and said, "What's the big deal." Then there was no more silence, and everyone was in a dilemma for a while, and they didn't know what to do. If you go forward, you must take a great risk, but if you leave like this, this trip is equivalent to giving up halfway, this qiΔ has nothing to do with me and Tofu, after all, there is no direct interest link with the two of us, but Zhen Rui is different, so next, it depends on how Zhen Rui decides.
Zhong Gong made an opinion and said in a deep voice: "Boss, I see that the current situation is not optimistic, and I am rash into danger, just afraid that something will happen." We've printed a divine text before, and there may be something we're looking for in that divine text. In my opinion, it is better to go back first, decipher the divine text on it, if it is useful, everyone will naturally be happy, if there is no useful information on it, we now know the location here, many dangers can be avoided, and it will be easy to come back at that time. β
Zhong Gong's analysis was relatively objective, but Zhen Rui didn't speak, and he estimated that he was tortured by Hu Duo, and he didn't want to wait any longer. The rest of us didn't speak, just waiting for him to make a decision. Seeing this, Zhong Gong turned his head sideways and whispered to Zhen Rui for a while, and he didn't know what to say, so he saw that Zhen Rui frowned slightly, as if he had some scruples, and finally looked unkind, but he still nodded slightly, and said to us: "It's hard work for everyone this time, this is the end of the matter, let's go back first." β
Tofu was surprised, and muttered secretly: "What did Zhong Gong's kid say to him, why did the yin and yang face change his mouth all of a sudden?" β
When Zhong Gong was talking to Zhen Rui, I noticed a detail, that is, Zhong Gong's eyes glanced at Ouyang Xuan, probably reminding Zhen Rui that Ouyang Xuan could not make a mistake. Since the Lord has said that he has gone back, then we naturally will not have any opinions, although we are very curious about the world behind the Golden Gate, but compared to curiosity, it is more important to live. My experience tells me a lot of things, or don't be curious.
Tofu stared straight at the dark space, with a kitten-scratching expression, as if he wanted to know what was going on inside. I grabbed him and said, "Don't look at it, let's go, we can go home." β
The crowd didn't bother with the golden gate, turned the lights to the maximum, moved away from the ghostly totem pole, and headed for the way they came. After a while, we saw the magnificent stone steps, I remember the body of the jack-of-all-trades, which we placed on the stone steps, thinking of his dying appearance, I felt uncomfortable, Tofu was even more sad, muttering, "I told him that he would get better, and the result was ......"
I patted Tofu on the shoulder as a sign of comfort, and stared up the wet steps up several floors, and when we were about to get to the place where we had placed the corpse of the know-it-all, all of a sudden, I smelled a foul odor in the air, which I was familiar with, it was a corpse odor, and it was different from the usual corpse odor.
This kind of corpse smell, mixed with a smell of visceral intestines, at this time we have already taken off our gas masks, and we were suddenly washed by this smell, and the smokers rolled their eyes, Ouyang Xuan stumbled under her feet, and almost rolled down the steps, but fortunately Zhang Wen pulled her.
Tofu covered his mouth and said, "What smells so stinky1"
Zhen Rui said: "Corpse smell, fresh corpse smell." β
Fresh corpse stench? My heart says is it a jack of all trades? No, corpse odor is generally produced when the corpse begins to decompose, and it is only about four hours since the death of the jack-of-all-trades, how can there be such a strong smell of?
I couldn't help but speed up my pace, took a few steps up, and a jack-of-all-trades corpse appeared in front of me, and the first time I saw his corpse, my first reaction was to want to vomit, and I really didn't hold back, I turned my head and vomited. Not to mention the tofu that came up on the side, he also vomited together, and soon, the rest of the people saw this situation, except for Zhen Rui, who vomited all of them.
We saw a huge corpse appear in front of us. To be precise, it is an inflatable corpse formed by decomposition and internal flatulence liquefaction, and in the forensic profession, there is an adjective for this kind of corpse, called 'giant view'.
What is the Giant View?
That is, after death, when the decay of the corpse expands to the whole body, the entire corpse swells into a behemoth, which is called the giant view.
The appearance of the giant view is generally related to temperature, and it will be formed in 3~7 days after death in spring and autumn; It forms within 2~3 days after death in summer, and begins to appear 15~30 days after death in winter
After death, because the soft tissues of the whole body are filled with putrefactive gas, the face will be swollen, the eyes will protrude, the lips will become thickened and turned out, the tip of the tongue will be protruded, the chest and abdomen will be bulging, the abdominal wall will be tightly distended, the limbs will be thickened, the scrotum will be swollen and spherical, and the whole corpse will be swollen and swollen into a giant, and it is difficult to identify its appearance before death, so it is called the giant view.
To sum up, when the temperature is not too high, it is generally 5 to 7 days before the corpse will appear this phenomenon, so in the traditional burial customs, the Han people stop the mortuary, generally stop for seven days, and bury on the seventh day, and in the process of mortuary, the coffin will leave a small opening, one is to give the soul in and out, and the other is to worry about the phenomenon of suspended animation, leaving a hole to ventilate the air. Some ignorant children may look through this crack to see the corpse inside, which is absolutely forbidden in the countryside, because the corpse of the giant is very terrifying, and it is possible for some children to be stupid when they see it.
And the corpse in front of us is wearing a know-it-all clothes, but it is already a highly flatulent 'giant corpse', under normal circumstances, if there are mosquitoes and flies, he should be crawling with maggots at this time.
But this place is estimated to be free of mosquitoes, so there are no mosquitoes, flies and maggots, but it is still disgusting. I saw that his mouth, nose and chest were full of brownish and yellow scum, his tongue was squeezed out of his mouth by flatulence, and his purple-red tongue was spit out very long. The dried filth should be a phenomenon of 'dead people vomiting'. This phenomenon is mainly caused by the internal organs being oppressed by putrefactive gases, which causes the contents of the stomach and intestines to overflow before death.
And in the crotch of his pants, you can see a bulging mass, I guess it is the scrotum after flatulence, and it may even be the rectal internal organs that have been squeezed out of the anus by the gas of corruption. Legend has it that in ancient times, there were cases of female corpses giving birth to children, and some people processed it into ghost stories, but in fact it is not impossible.
In the coffins of pregnant female corpses excavated at many archaeological sites, the bones of the baby are located between the legs of the female corpse, not in the pelvis.
I've seen a lot of corpses, dried corpses, dry bones, and non-rotting corpses, but it's the first time I've seen a fresh corpse like this, not to mention the disgusting energy. After vomiting, everyone's fierce reaction weakened a little, and Tofu said with a miserable expression: "This is Xu Li?" Oh my God, how did he end up like this? Does this happen when people die? β
I said, "Yes, it will be like this, so death is a very scary thing, but this situation usually happens in five to seven days, and the temperature in this place is very low, it stands to reason that it will take at least ten days for the corpse to decompose like this...... But it's only been a few hours......"
How so?
I couldn't figure it out.
Although this phenomenon of posthumous giant view is a relatively normal phenomenon, but the thought that he will be like this after his death makes people feel uncomfortable, and reminds him of the know-it-all before his death, although he is not very energetic, but at least his facial features are good and he is physically strong, and now he has become such a picture, which is really worrying.
Ouyang Xuan had already taken out the gas mask and put it on, saying; "It's so stinky, let'sβlet's cremate it."
Zhen Rui shook his head, his eyes burning, and said, "The corpse shouldn't decompose so quickly. β
I said, "Could it be caused by external factors?" Maybe it's a better place for corpses to decompose? β
Zhen Rui didn't say a word, suddenly took the gas mask and put it on, tightened his gloves again, pulled out the dagger, and began to approach the corpse. Zhong Gong is Zhen Rui's loyal dog, so he is also dressed up and follows him every step of the way.
My heart said, "What do they want to do?"
