Chapter 298: Puppets

Because the human body is a very complex living organism, and there have been cases of suspended animation more than once in clinical practice, some older coroners abroad will have the habit of tying bells on the corpse.

Just when Ye Xianguo and I were discussing the issue of bells without a match, suddenly, the strange sound of the bell appeared from the corner again.

The sound of the bell sounded like it was coming from not far from us, and this time, along with the sound of the bell, there was a strange figure!

Someone is there around the corner, waiting for me us!

"Look, who is that!" Because Ye Xianguo was standing with his back to the corner, when he heard my shout and turned around, the corner suddenly became empty again, and under the light of the flashlight, there was nothing but darkness.

Ye Xianguo looked at me with a puzzled expression, and after a long time, he slowly spoke: "Nothing, are you sure you see something?" ”

"It's impossible to be mistaken, just now, a figure did appear in that place!" In that case, I couldn't be mistaken, not to mention, the sound of the bell still seemed to appear and appeared, and listening to the sound, it was probably from the corner before.

For a moment, an indescribable sense of uneasiness swept through the whole body.

The figure holding Xiaoxue was able to find that Ye Xianguo and I were spying on him, and destroyed the emergency power supply system of the underground research institute at the first time, which was already a bit difficult to explain.

Now, the ethereal sound of the bell has reappeared, which has forced me to re-examine the current situation.

Ye Xianguo saw that my expression was wrong, and he probably guessed what was going on. For a moment, he also became nervous, slowed down, and walked slowly towards the dark corner.

Suddenly, the ethereal sound of the bell disappeared again, and only the footsteps of Ye Xianguo and I were left in the entire passage, faintly ringing. I have to say that the current situation is really weird to the extreme, and it is estimated that guys with slightly poor psychological endurance will be driven crazy every minute.

I held the flashlight in my left hand, the dagger in my right hand, and placed my right hand on top of my left, lunging towards the dark corner.

This way of searching in the dark was something I learned when I was at the police academy. First, it can ensure the convenience of one's own action, and second, when there is danger in the field of vision, you can take measures to deal with it at the first time.

As I got closer and closer around the corner, I could almost hear my own heartbeat. As the position of the flashlight beam changed, at this moment, the strange figure from before appeared in my sight again.

Ye Xianguo on the side followed closely behind me, looking at the figure in front of him with a serious face, and he didn't dare to take a breath.

Judging from his expression at this moment, Ye Xianguo should have been quite surprised by the appearance of the figure around the corner, he didn't even know who the other party was, otherwise, this old man, who had long been accustomed to seeing the world, would not have shown such an expression.

Three Steps... Two steps... One-step... As I approached the figure around the corner, I could almost hear my own heartbeat. But what puzzled me was that the other party didn't seem to realize that Ye Xianguo and I were approaching him at all, but still chose to lurk in the darkness and remain motionless.

Like, something isn't quite right!

However, in the next second, an unbelievable situation appeared in front of my eyes. As the flashlight beam continued to go deeper, I watched as the figures around the corner changed from one to two, from two to four... Eventually, the shadows grew more and more, as if there were countless enemies lurking in the dark corners. 、

Well, what's going on?

I couldn't bear this suspicion any longer, and under the influence of curiosity, I simply shouted to give myself courage, and then stepped forward and walked straight through.

But in the next second, the picture that appeared in front of me made me gasp.

What I didn't expect was that the space around the corner was surprisingly large, very different from the passage we were originally walking through. What's even more terrifying is that in such a large and wide space, at this moment, it is densely packed with countless people.

Those guys were all wearing dark red uniforms similar to Ye Xianguo's, neatly arranged in the narrow passages, and they all looked at me coldly and didn't say a word.

In such a strange situation, being watched by so many people, I was about to be embarrassed. For a moment, I couldn't help but clench the saber in my hand, and at the same time hit the beam of the flashlight at the figures in front of me.

It was only then that I finally got a clear picture of what they looked like. It turned out that the people gathered in the passage were not living people at all, but life-size dolls dressed up as living people.

The dolls are all made of plastic and silicone, and they are neatly arranged in the passage in front of them according to the size of normal people, and they are also wearing the same uniform as Ye Xianguo's indoctrination field, because of the light, I can't see clearly at the first time, so I mistook all those things for living people.

As expected, each puppet has a rusty bell tied to its body.

To my horror, the dolls were all standing in front of me, as if they had expected me to emerge from this position. The point is that none of the faces of those dolls have facial features, so it is better to say that the makers can omit the production of facial features.

In the pitch black environment, looking at their bare faces, I only felt an indescribable weirdness.

The surrounding passages and the ground are very old, the tempered roads are covered with rust, and the roads on both sides are covered with dust. However, the dolls were as clean as new, with hardly any dust or other dirt.

This can't help but make me mutter, could it be that these puppets in front of me were deliberately placed here not long ago? What kind of guy would put so many dolls here beforehand?

Ye Xianguo quickly followed, and he couldn't help frowning at these weird puppets in front of him. From the expression he showed at the moment, it was not difficult to infer that it seemed that Ye Xianguo was also very caught off guard by the appearance of these puppets.

"Sir, have you ever seen the same puppet in the underground research before?"

"Never." Ye Xianguo muttered, and said with a puzzled expression: "Don't talk about it before, even when I was checking the monitor just now, I didn't see these strange things." God knows exactly where they came from. ”

With a tactical flashlight, he quickly walked past me and walked over to the dolls to examine them carefully.

After a while, only an exclamation was heard, and Ye Xianguo in front of him seemed to have been greatly stimulated, his face became very pale in an instant, and he fell to the ground along with the tactical flashlight in his hand.

What's the situation? Following Ye Xianguo's gaze, he could only see the back of the puppet in front of him, on the dark red uniform, three big red characters suddenly appeared: Guo Fangzheng!

, what does that mean? Use the puppet in front of you to pretend to be Guo Fangzheng? However, in an instant, as if I understood something, I looked at the dolls one by one, and one after another, bright red blood letters appeared on the backs of the dolls in order.

Lin Bayi, Guo Fangzheng, Ren Fengyue, Gao Tianwen, and even Ye Xianguo's name are among them. And the only thing they have in common is that they were all once participants in the Correctional Field Project.

It's just that, for a while, I can't figure out what the other party wants to do after spending so much effort to bring these puppets here? Could it be true that after putting on my name, I wanted to use these dolls to disguise myself as a real person, as I had thought before? This is a trick that only children can use.

What's more, if you really want to do it, then there should be a better way.

Since it took so much effort to make so many life-size dolls, it was not bad to get the face on the face, why did you write their names on their backs?

Wait a minute! Name! Suddenly, I felt as if my heart was being pounded, and then, as if something extremely important had flashed in front of me.

It dawned on me why the other party had chosen to imply me by writing their name on the back of the doll, because they had always done that.

I vaguely remember that whether it was outside Lin Bayi's villa or the entrance road of the underground research institute before, I saw the familiar riddle:

I give, I take, and I am present the first time you breathe. You did not choose me, but I will follow you until the day I die.

Let's ask, what is there in this world that has been with you since you were born, and even though you didn't take the initiative to choose, you will still be with you? The answer to this riddle is the name of the person!

Cold sweat unconsciously trickled down my back, but the appearance of this mystery caught me off guard. To be honest, even though I know the answer to this riddle, I still don't understand the meaning of the other party's repeated hints to me. Could it be that I want to tell me that my real name is very awesome, but in fact, it is the son of a rich man who has been separated since childhood?

However, what caught me off guard even more was that in this short gap, I actually saw a certain puppet in the dark, and it actually began to move slowly.

And the direction in which the puppet moved was towards Ye Xianguo, who was not far from him.

Seeing this situation, I secretly screamed that it was not good, it seems that someone is deliberately hiding here, wanting to be unfavorable to Ye Xianguo!
