Chapter 148: The Altar of Hidden Corpses
Back to a familiar place.
There is still a fire on the ground that we burned yesterday.
The fat man crouched down and touched the wood inside the fire with his hand.
"Did you put out the fire with water yesterday?"
Zhang San and I glanced at each other.
"Have you extinguished?" I asked.
Zhang San shook his head.
Neither of us ever poured out the fire, but the fire on the ground was extinguished.
The point is not to extinguish, but to burn only half of all the wood.
It seems to have been suddenly extinguished by some external force.
Could it be that there are people in the woods who specialize in putting out fires?
This is unlikely.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I entered the forest, a strange place immediately appeared.
A few of us looked at each other, and our eyes became solemn.
At this moment, Li Si suddenly noticed the jar I had seen earlier.
"Look at the jar over there, who's going to pickle kimchi in this forest?"
Li Si was even more excessive than me, and directly said that the jar was a kimchi jar.
Zhang San looked at him helplessly.
"Where do you think this thing looks like a pickle jar?"
Li Si frowned.
"Could it be a corpse jar?"
Zhang San nodded slightly and gave him an affirmative answer.
But when I looked at the jar again, I felt that something was wrong.
Those villagers knew that there was something wrong with this forest, and they also knew that there was a so-called cat demon here who wanted to eat people.
How can you still put the corpse here?
Isn't this the same as feeding those cat demons?
Maybe the jar is different from what we thought, and it wasn't a corpse?
I looked at a few people.
"Have you ever thought about it, if it is really a corpse, how can those villagers put the corpse here?"
"This thing in the woods is a cannibal."
"How is it possible to put a corpse in after knowing that there is a man-eating thing?"
Hearing my words, the expressions of several people became solemn at the same time.
After a few moments, several people looked at me at the same time and asked.
"Then Brother Li, what could be the situation?"
What could be the situation?
That's a lot more likely.
I squinted my eyes slightly, then looked at the fat man.
"Whatever the case is, you have to go and see it first."
"Wait for me here, I'll go and have a look!"
As soon as they heard that I was going over, the faces of several people immediately twisted like bitter melons.
The fat man even grabbed me.
"You're crazy, you? No one knows what is in there, go at this time, isn't that looking for death? ”
I don't know where the fat man got the answer to the question of finding death.
After a long sigh of relief, I looked at a few people and said.
"If you look for death, not necessarily, I only know the current situation, if we don't look at it, the answer to the puzzle will never be revealed."
It wasn't until I said this that several people calmed down.
As it stands, that is true.
If I don't go over and open the jar, then we'll never know what's in the jar.
Whether the contents of the jar have anything to do with this forest, we will not have an answer.
So the only thing we can do now is to get over as soon as possible so that we can find out.
After glancing at each other, everyone also made a decision.
I went over and they kept me safe from behind.
Step by step, I approached the jars.
Some images came back to my mind.
It's the figure of the people before me.
Those figures still linger in my mind.
What exactly are they? Is it something that is in a jar?
Whatever they are, as soon as the jar is opened, I have the answer.
Stopping in front of the three-mouth jar and stabilizing my mind, I slowly gave birth to my hand.
The closer I got to the jar, the more I could intuitively feel a chill.
It's as obvious as putting your hands in the freezer on a hot summer day.
It's obviously just as obvious, but if it's comfortable, it's really not any comfort.
My hand was on the lid of the jar.
For a moment, it was as if I had touched a piece of ice.
A chill came up instantly.
My brow tightened, and the people behind me hurriedly ran a few steps towards me.
But after seeing that there was nothing wrong with me, everyone quickly stopped again.
"Brother Li, are you okay?" The fat man asked in the air.
I waved my hand.
"It's okay, I'll open this thing right away!"
As the words fell, I jerked the lid of the jar open.
Suddenly, a rancid smell came to my face.
Even though I've already smelled too much disgusting.
But for a while, there was no way to accept the washing of this smell.
Covering my nose, I took several steps back in quick succession.
Inside the jar was pitch black mud.
If it's all mud, there's a lot of slime.
It's like a jar of stuff mixed with liquids and solids.
But what are these things?
After scratching my head, I turned my face to look at the other jars.
The appearance and structure of the other jars are similar to this jar.
Could it be that they are all the same thing?
What the hell are these things?
Just when I was confused, the fat man reminded me in the back.
"Brother Li, if you can't stand the smell, you will just smash the jar."
Smashed?
I don't know if it will have any effect.
Now it seems that there is no better way than to smash it.
After taking a deep breath, I grabbed the stone next to me.
Then he faced the jar and suddenly turned over.
There was no crunching sound, only a muffled thud and a pop, like a big rock falling into a puddle of slime.
Then the pitch-black sewage gushed out.
I hurriedly ducked to the side.
The jar also collapsed soon after the sewage gushed out.
At the same time, a lot of solid things came out of the jar.
If you look closely, you can see what it is.
That's a bone.
This, this is indeed a jar for corpses.
I hurriedly stepped back, and the fat men also came up to meet me.
The four of us stood together, looking at the sewage and the bones scattered on the ground.
"This, is this really a jar for corpses?" Until now, my tone was not quite sure.
The fat man looked at each other blankly, looked at each other for a moment, and then said softly.
"Looks like it's a human bone."
They've been fighting for years, and they know more about bones than I do.
Whether it is human bone or not, you only need to see it at a glance.
Now it is certain that it was human bones, that is, I was wrong in judgment.
This is indeed a jar for corpses.
But why did those villagers put their bodies here?
And according to the age of the jar, it is no more than ten years at most.
What's going on?
"What the hell is going on?" The more I thought about it, the more I couldn't figure it out.
