Chapter 64: A Thousand Knives
After listening to Yanzi's story, the second sister said "oh" after a long time and said, "At such a young age, it is not bad to have such insight and courage." ”
The woman raised her narrow eyes and said lightly: "In this case, give him a corpse to try, if you want to work here with me, it is not just bold." ”
When the muscular man heard this, he was overjoyed and immediately agreed. Ma Boss turned his head and ordered Hei Mao to hurry up and push the corpse from before. As soon as I heard it, I guessed that the so-called "previous corpse" was about a corpse for applicants to use for interviews, and it was estimated that it would be necessary to inspect the skills of a corpse makeup on the spot.
This is also normal, after all, it is a position that requires extremely high technical content such as makeup artists, but I don't know which unlucky ghost's body fell into the hands of these people and was actually used as interview materials.
The black hair agreed, and was about to go out, when he heard the second sister say: "Don't bother, I just have a ready-made one here." ”
When Hei Mao heard this, he was stunned for a moment, nodded and said "Okay", then turned around and walked back again, and looked at me with a strange face.
There was silence in the room. I scanned around the room and found the atmosphere weird. The swallow glanced at me several times, but the muscular man stopped talking.
"You want to use that corpse...... Not quite right? Ma Boss said loudly.
"What's so bad. Since you all say this kid is good, let me take a look at it too. The second sister sat on the chair and said lightly, without any expression on her face, and asked the muscular man to go over there and push the body out.
The muscular man glanced at Ma Boss, said "Okay second sister", and hurried to the other side of the house. From my point of view, I could see that there were three corpse dressing tables inside, one of which contained a corpse parked on it, covered with a shroud. I thought that the corpse that the second sister was referring to was the one she was talking about. Sure enough, I saw that the muscular man had already walked to the corpse dressing table and pushed the corpse over.
Judging from the reaction of everyone just now, I can roughly guess that there is something strange about this corpse. But I'm not too worried, as long as it's a corpse, it won't be too much of a problem for me.
But in the blink of an eye, the muscular man had already pushed the corpse over and placed it in front of us. Generally, rollers are installed under the corpse dressing table to facilitate the pushing of corpses.
The second sister coughed lightly, picked up a cup on the table, took a sip of tea, and said weakly: "Open it." ”
The muscular man agreed, looked at me again, grabbed the corner of the shroud, and lifted the cloth open.
In fact, just when the corpse was pushed over, there was already a smoky stench coming to the nostrils, and when the shroud was lifted at this time, it was even more stinky. Swallow and Black Fur couldn't help but take a few steps back.
I was accustomed to it, and I had experienced the smell of corpses worse than this, and I stood there with an unchanging face, all my attention drawn to the corpse under the shroud.
This corpse, at first glance, could not be seen in his face, nor could it be distinguished whether it was a man or a woman. It's not that it's a headless corpse, but that the corpse's head is a skull with pink bones and residual flesh fascia, apparently removed from the bones not long ago.
But this man's body from the neck down was full of flesh and blood. In other words, the flesh of this person is still there from the neck down, but there is only a skull with no flesh and skin above the neck, which is really weird and terrifying to look at, and even I, a veteran who is used to dealing with corpses, is the first time I have seen such a strange corpse.
However, that's not all. The body of this corpse below the neck is not necessarily much better, it is swollen all over, and even pus has begun to flow out in some places, and the stench hits people.
swept around, only to see a cadre of people, except for the second sister and the thin bamboo pole face did not change color, even the hemp boss took a few steps back, probably unable to bear the strong smell of rotting corpses, not to mention the swallows and black hair, retreating far away, looking at other places.
The muscular man is the closest one, and his whole face is tense, and he probably endures it very hard.
The second sister glanced at him and said, "It's none of your business, just go away." ”
The muscular man was immediately relieved, and quickly retreated to the side of the swallow and the black hair, watching from a distance. While the others were backing away, I took a few steps forward, my eyes fixed on the corpse.
I can't figure out how such a monster corpse could be caused. There are many ways to get rid of all the flesh and skin on a person's face, such as using some very corrosive venom, or burning it with extremely high temperature flames, but these methods have a problem, that is, they cannot do it without hurting the skull under the flesh.
"You kid, your concentration is good. See what? The woman's voice came weakly.
I was about to get into my thoughts, but she interrupted me, and I woke up, and when I looked up at her, I saw the woman's dull eyes looking at me.
I shook my head and said, "I can't see it yet." He glanced around and said, "Can you lend me a pair of gloves?" ”
I saw the thin bamboo pole with long thin legs coming over and handed me a pair of gloves to wrap the corpse. I smiled gratefully at him, put on my gloves, walked over to the corpse, and reached for his skull to take a closer look.
For such an unknown strange thing, I don't dare to do it without gloves. The types of corpses are ever-changing, not to mention anything else, just talking about the corpse poison that may be contained makes it difficult to prevent it. In our industry, I don't know how many seniors and veterans lost their lives due to a moment of negligence.
Judging by the man's skull and size, he was undoubtedly an adult man. There is still pink skin and fascia left on the skull, so it is impossible to use venom or fire, but more like someone used a knife to remove the skin and flesh on the head!
But this is all my speculation, and there is no evidence at all. I really can't imagine anyone who can cut people like this with a knife.
"You're a smart kid, but you're not very knowledgeable." The woman sat in her chair and looked at me with her slender eyes, "What's so strange about separating flesh from bone?" ”
When I heard her say this, my heart suddenly moved, and I thought of something that had happened a long time ago. This is a form of torture called "Ling Chi".
Ling Chi, which is often said in the world, is a thousand cuts. The torture of Ling Chi, which first appeared in the Five Dynasties, was the most brutal type of death penalty. The tortured person will not be put to death immediately, but will be stabbed to death by three thousand three hundred and fifty-seven swords.
Ling Chi is definitely an extremely difficult handicraft, to cut thousands of knives to keep the tortured person alive, to put it mildly, this is already a cruel art.
For those who have died of such torture, it is far more troublesome than the corpse of another beheading.
Under normal circumstances, the corpse of Ling Chi is not picked up by our insiders.
Since the Five Dynasties, until the end of the Qing Dynasty, the torture of Ling Chi has always existed, and Ling Chi's stunt has been passed down from generation to generation for nearly a thousand years.
It's just that since the Republic of China, even the beheading has been abolished and replaced by shooting, not to mention the cruel death penalty of Ling Chi, and the people who will Ling Chi this craft have also disappeared in the dust of the years.
"Could it be that the person who killed this person is a person who knows how to use the Ling Chi knife technique? How much hatred does this have to be? I asked curiously, could it be that Ling Chi, an ancient skill, still has a successor until now?
The woman looked at me and said, "I'm a little insightful." After another cough and a sip of tea, he said, "But it doesn't have to be so troublesome to make people like this." ”
As soon as I heard this, I couldn't help but blurt out, "Then what else is the way?" "Look at the appearance of the skin and flesh on this person's head, I really can't think of any other way other than Ling Chi's knife technique. looked at Ma Boss and a few others, and saw that they were all looking at their mouths and noses, and their noses were looking at their hearts, obviously in front of this "second sister", they were really more honest than rabbits.
The woman coughed and said, "There's something else that works." ”
