Chapter 230: Blood Skeleton
The deeper you go into this underground bomb shelter, the darker and more oppressive it becomes. The walls around us are covered with moss-like plants that seem to absorb the glow of the flashlight, and even though all four of us set the tactical flashlight to its brightest, the darkness still lingers.
Tick tock, tick tock! Water droplets continued to drip down the gaps overhead, accumulating in more than one puddle in front of them.
Every time there was a drop of water, it was like a demon's whisper, for fear that after the next drop, an unknown monster would suddenly rush out of the dark corner and tear me apart.
So the more I moved forward, the more I didn't dare to relax.
"Holy, what the hell!" Liu Guoqiang's sudden exclamation once again pulled my heart to my throat. This Northeast man has always been bold, and what can scare him must be unusual.
Swallowing his saliva, he hit the beam of the flashlight at the area where Liu Guoqiang was.
Suddenly, I saw a skeleton standing upright in front of him. The skeleton was almost completely white, and several joints on its body were like the walls on the side, and moss had grown. Unlike the corpses of the young men before, it looks like this guy should have been dead for a long time, probably when this underground bomb shelter was built, and he died here.
"Damn, I'm scared to death, what the hell!"
"It's already like this, so there shouldn't be any danger." As soon as Uncle Tian's words fell, along the light of the flashlight that was about to fade, I suddenly caught a glimpse of a wisp of bright red, which continued to flow down the lower limbs of the skeleton!
"Wait!" I almost used all my life's strength to shout such a sentence directly from my throat, so shocked that Liu Guoqiang on the side didn't even dare to take a breath.
The lower half of the skeleton's body, the part that should have been soaked in white bones, was constantly seeping blood into the ground at this moment.
Blood seeped out of the bones, and if my eyes hadn't deceived my brain, at this moment, this skeleton was actually leaving blood!
Although the hematopoietic tissue of the human body is located in the soft tissue of the long bones, the skeleton in front of it has been dead for too long, and it stands to reason that the bones are almost weathered, how can it still drip blood?
However, I'm used to the smell of blood, so it's impossible to smell it wrong.
It is indeed impossible for the skeleton that has been ossified to bleed, even if it is a strange thing, it is absolutely impossible to violate the logic of nature. So, the only explanation is that someone wanted to bleed the skeleton and did it in front of us.
In this way, my previous speculation was further confirmed. At this moment, in this underground bomb shelter, there are indeed some people hiding, secretly watching us.
Liu Guoqiang didn't even dare to breathe for a moment, and while looking around with a flashlight, he lowered his voice and said to me: "Brother Gao, what do you think, what does that guy want to do when he does this?" β
"This γγγγγ" For a moment, I couldn't figure out what that bastard was trying to do.
At this moment, Uncle Tian on the side suddenly trembled his voice and slowly spoke: "I recognize here!" When I first disposed of the girl's body, I seem to have been around here! β
Is it around here? I accentuated my tone and slowly said to Uncle Tian on the side: "Uncle, are you sure?" β
"Although I don't have a good memory, I shouldn't remember such a similar place, but the last time I came here, I didn't see that skeleton!"
Indeed, the other party deliberately made a blood skeleton here, guess it, I can't think of what he wants to do, is it just to scare us away? That's underestimating those of us.
But as the old saying goes, if you come here, you will be safe.
The other party spent so much time and energy to deliberately prepare such a blood skeleton, so I simply went over and saw with my own eyes what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of the guy who pretended to be a ghost.
The blood gathered into a small stream, and gradually spread towards the side of the passage, where there was deeper darkness, and God knows what else awaited us.
Unconsciously swallowed saliva, randomly clenched the tactical flashlight in his hand, and walked over slowly.
The blood trail went all the way forward, as if to guide us to a certain place, and gradually, the blood actually spread out in all directions, as if to form some kind of specific picture.
"Oh my God, this is too weird!" At this time, even Long Zaitian, who had been at the end of the line, became cautious. Originally, we just wanted to find Yin Jiahui's corpse, but now the situation here has already exceeded the expectations of everyone present.
When I finally got close and saw the situation on the ground, I found that the blood stains in front of me had been artificially smeared into a line of text.
"I give, I take, I am there for your first breath. You did not choose me, but I will follow you until the day I die. β
Damn, I remember, I've seen the same text before.
At that time, when I was investigating the murder case, in order to find clues as soon as possible, I ventured to visit the villa where Lin Bayi lived, and it was after I walked out of the villa that day that I saw almost the same text in a small alley not far from Lin Bayi's residence.
When I think about it, the situation at that time seems to be quite weird, the blood word appeared on a mountain of corpses made of dead rats, and it was obvious that someone deliberately left it for me, but to this day, I don't understand the meaning of this line of words.
The same words, the same weird scenes, the same blood, could it be that the guy hiding in the underground air-raid shelter has some kind of relationship with the mysterious person who appeared in Lin Bayi's villa at that time? Or rather, they're just the same person!
I didn't dare to imagine it any longer, so I could only think of these things as a coincidence for the time being, otherwise, just dwelling on these things would be enough to drive me crazy.
The three people on the side read the content of the blood letter, and suddenly showed interest, Liu Guoqiang even took the initiative to speak: "What do you think, what does this line of text mean?" β
I never thought that Long Zaitian, who had always been silent, actually took the initiative to come up and say this time: "It's not easy to say, it seems that the other party wants to vaguely express a certain meaning, or subjective thoughts, in short, it is a bit similar to the feeling of Western religion!" β
The question is, to whom is this expression of thought expressed? Is it the four of us? Liu Guoqiang said helplessly: "Please, the ghost knows what this guy is writing nonsense, if it is really written to us, it is a pure waste of time." β
Uncle Tian stared at the line of text for a long time, and suddenly muttered: "Do you think it will be like some kind of charade game?" β
"Charades?"
"Yes, it's like guessing lantern riddles during the Lantern Festival!" Uncle Tian said, and gestured with his hand: "This line of text may be a word puzzle, you want us to guess something!" Maybe if you guess it, you can know something, Officer Liu, you say meγγγγγ β
"Shh Liu Guoqiang suddenly made a silent gesture and told the three of us to stop talking. At this moment, his bronze bell-like eyes were locked at the end of the passage, and he didn't even dare to take a breath.
Following his gaze, I also looked to the side of the passage.
I saw a vague figure about fifty meters ahead, standing in the passage, standing there quietly, without saying a word.
Damn, who's this bastard!
Liu Guoqiang swallowed his saliva and took out the matching gun from his waist. And I quickly reacted, and also took out the revolver that I had taken from the dwarf at that time, and walked with him.
Suddenly, the entire passage was surprisingly quiet, except for the sound of water droplets echoing continuously. At this moment, neither we nor the figure opposite seem to dare to act rashly, for fear that an inadvertent action will cause irreparable consequences.
Liu Guoqiang put his index finger on the trigger, ready to shoot at any time.
After taking a few more steps forward, a huge smell of corpses greeted me, and even with a mask, I could clearly smell it. Could it be that this passage is next to the corridor where the corpses of those young people are stored?
Just as he was thinking, the figure in the passage suddenly began to act. Looking at that guy's movements, I couldn't help but chuckle in my heart, no, the other party also has a gun in his hand!
