416, like a female corpse of a living person
After Liang Fatzi finally came back to his senses, he turned his head to look at everyone, didn't say anything, his eyes were a little cold, and then turned around again, carefully raised his feet and stepped on the edge of the sarcophagus to stand firm, tiptoe to reach the lighting groove on the wall, but unfortunately he couldn't reach it, no matter how hard he tried, no matter how straight and tight his body was, he still couldn't reach it, and the torch was more than ten centimeters away from the notch.
He had to jump down, re-examine the height and distance, and then step by step, retreat to a place about five or six meters away from the sarcophagus, run wildly, borrow the help, tiptoe to the edge of the sarcophagus and jump into the air again, raise the torch high to the notch of the lighting slot, and then fall back on the edge of the coffin on tiptoe, open his arms to keep his balance to avoid falling into the coffin, and after re-stabilizing, jump down quickly.
It seemed to be going well, but the flames spread rapidly along the trench with a loud roar, from the rock wall on the left to the front wall to the wall on the right and then to the back wall, lighting up on all sides, and the whole hall was lit up with fire, and the dark wall reflected the light of the fire like a mirror of hell.
Hey, this place is so big, so high, it's so frightening, it doesn't really look like a tomb, it's a bit like a pre-apocalyptic hall, an extremely abstract existence.
Liang Fatzi walked back to everyone and said that the vines and plants on the coffin were not dangerous, but the contents of the sarcophagus were worth seeing.
When he said this, a smile of interest appeared on his lips, and he said, "We need to get to know the world again." ”
As he spoke, he helped Jenny extinguish the torches, tidy up her equipment, and beckoned everyone to turn off the flashlights and walk to the sarcophagus.
Fu Yuxin tightened Li Xu's hand and walked at the back of the crowd. Li Xu thought to himself, he himself was definitely not afraid of death, but he was afraid of her death, so he held on so tightly.
Although Liang Fatzi tried that those plants were not dangerous, Lou Mingjiang was not at ease no matter how he looked at them, and always felt that if there was no danger, they would definitely not appear in the sarcophagus, so we still had to stay as far away as possible and be careful.
Fortunately, it was far enough to see the scene in the coffin.
No wonder Liang Fat Man stood for a minute just now as if he had been pointed, who could not stay in the sarcophagus, the sarcophagus contained a clear liquid, and there was a hint of cold ice blue in the firelight, and the corpse was soaked in that unknown liquid.
Yes, corpses, not bones.
A naked female corpse, lying in it as if it were a living person, with its eyes open, its pupils dark, and a sad look that is difficult to describe in words, as if at first glance it was really alive, as if it would suddenly sit up wet and so.
The corpse's mouth in the coffin was also wide open, and a bowl of large, white, translucent, petal-layered, never-before-seen flowers burst out of her gaping mouth, covering most of her face. And those green vines and leaves wrapped around the whole corpse, from the neck to the toes, all wrapped around, only a little white skin was faintly exposed between the gaps, and the woman's long black hair floated in the clear liquid like seaweed, staring at it carefully, it would feel that it was moving, and then looking closely, it was not moving, and it was completely impossible to distinguish which second was real and which second was an illusion.
The whole scene looked like an oil painting with intense colors and religious significance, and if it weren't for the sarcophagus, if it weren't for the fact that it was soaked in liquid, Li Xu couldn't believe it was a corpse. Even now, she couldn't believe that the beautiful young woman in the sarcophagus was really a cold corpse.
She looked like she was alive, but she was so entangled in plants that she couldn't move.
Li Xu suddenly felt that Liang Fatzi's sentence just now was wrong, not that he needed to re-understand the world, but that someone had reconstructed a world.
It was her strongest feeling at the time, and it was also the most accurate intuition. More than four years later, the information we collected from our investigation confirmed her suspicion, and the people who came out of the Hall of Eternal Life successfully constructed a new world by using the "parasitic" experiment conducted by the backup laboratory in the underground of Chenjiawu.
It should be the "brave new world" defined by Su Mosen.
As I understand it, the brave new world is built on the basis of a perfect "symbiotic system".
All the things in the tomb, the sarcophagus, the liquid in the sarcophagus, the liquid-soaked female corpse, the flowers blooming in the female corpse's mouth, etc., etc., also include the medicinal herbs in another burial chamber, as well as those black walls, as well as the cold water pool near the Chenjiawu locust forest, plus the structure of the entire tomb, combined into an incomparably powerful "symbiotic system", they need each other, support each other, support each other, and act on each other, perfectly realizing the dream that ordinary people can hardly achieve.
I wanted to think about it, but I didn't say it, because if they asked me what a "symbiotic system" was, I probably wouldn't be able to explain it.
So let's listen to Li Xu first.
Liang Fatzi walked forward without taking care of everyone, and after seeing the second sarcophagus, he turned around and said, "It's the same." ”
Then he walked forward again, and for a moment he was stunned in front of the third sarcophagus, then turned and shouted, "This one is empty." ”
So everyone here ran over to see the empty coffin.
Fu Yuxin always pulled Li Xu's hand tightly, and dragged her very hard to prevent her from getting too close to the sarcophagus. At that time, she only thought he was cautious, but in fact, Fu Yuxin knew that as long as she touched the green vines and plants wrapped around the sarcophagus, she would be finished, and the gods would not be able to save her, so while he was holding Li Xu tightly, he was also very concerned about Jane's movements, and he didn't want her to have an accident.
The situation in the second sarcophagus is similar to the previous one, it is also a female corpse, and it is also a white translucent flower with her eyes open and her mouth open, and her body is wrapped in green vines, if there is anything different, it is that the eyebrows and eyes are different, just like Li Xu and Suni look different.
And the third sarcophagus was empty, there were no bodies, no flowers, only that transparent liquid that shone slightly blue in the firelight, oh, and a withered vine, which was in the sarcophagus, on the edge of the coffin, on the ground outside the coffin, all withered and black.
No one knew how to explain all this in front of her, but when Li Xu looked at the liquid in the sarcophagus, she remembered the fish tanks in Chen Qiaobin's house, she remembered that day a few months ago, she went to his house for the first time, and when she left, she stood in the courtyard and turned her head once, and saw that the liquid in the fish tank also glowed with this kind of faint blue color that seemed to be careless.
Therefore, she subconsciously understood that the liquid in the coffin was highly toxic.
It turned out that Chen Qiaobin didn't need to extract the toxins from the plant by himself, he just had to enter here and scoop up the liquid in the coffin to do whatever he wanted.
It's unimaginably simple.
Lin Qiliang had been in high spirits since he entered the tomb, and he was so excited that he almost breathed fire, but Lou Mingjiang showed some reactions that Li Xu had never seen before, such as calmness, such as caution, such as ...... He didn't seem surprised by what he saw, but he seemed preoccupied.
After Lou Mingjiang found that Li Xu was observing his expression, he raised his head, stared at her eyes seriously, and said a little nervously: "I don't know what's going on, I'm panicked, and I feel that something is going to happen." ”
When Lin Qiliang heard this, he turned his hand and slapped him, and scolded through gritted teeth: "If there is a bird incident, isn't it just a few corpses, how many corpses can such a large number of living people be afraid of?" Less frustration! ”
Li Xu could hear that Lin Qiliang was worried that everyone would retreat, so he said this kind of thing. Although what he said seemed to be right, just a few corpses, she also felt that what Lou Mingjiang said was right, something was going to happen.
This feeling is very bad, I feel that something is going to happen, and I don't know what will happen, and I don't know how to prevent it in advance, and my heart is very empty, as if there is a trap in front of me at any time, and if I fall, I will die and have no place to be buried.
Li Xu thought about it, and couldn't help but look up, the grotto was so high that he couldn't see the top at all. The surrounding black walls are only about three meters, which is high enough, and these walls used to block the space and create a labyrinth are the main renovation projects, and the more Li Xu looks, the more he feels that this is not a human tomb, it is a huge trap.
Jenny was also observing everything around her, looking up and down, left and right, and after looking at it for a while, she said, "No one should have entered this tomb before, otherwise, the pine resin in the lighting trough would not have waited for us to light it." ”
Li Xu nodded, and she thought the same thing.
But He Zhiqin didn't think so, he pointed to a place in front of him and said: Someone must have come in.
Everyone looked in the direction he was pointing.
On the ground next to a certain sarcophagus a dozen meters in front, there seemed to be something white that was incompatible with the environment.
Li Xu wanted to go up to see what was going on, but was dragged by Fu Yuxin.
Fu Yuxin pressed not to let Li Xu move, and walked forward by himself, but when he walked five or six meters away, he suddenly stopped, thought about it for two seconds, and then turned around and pulled Li Xu forward together. His series of actions were very confusing, and Li Xu didn't know until later that he was afraid that she would get too close to the sarcophagus and have an accident, so he didn't want her to go forward, but after thinking about it, he felt that if he left her there, she might also get close to the sarcophagus by herself, so he would rather drag it by his side.
He's really heartbroken.
The white thing He Zhiqin pointed to was one of the Nike sneakers that Shi Ling wore when she was handling the case in Chenjiawu, the day she disappeared, the pistol and a shoe were lost in the village, and when the police finally found her three days later, she was naked, and the other shoe was originally lost here.
Just as they speculated, Chen Jin Ziyu kidnapped Shi Ling and took her to the underground tomb, which is here, and then, something terrible happened, causing her to change greatly after she returned, and there was an extra gloomy soul in her body.
So, there's an absolute danger here, and that danger, once it happens, is irreversible. The problem is that everybody knows that there is danger, but they don't know what form that danger will take and happen, and that's what makes people afraid.
