Chapter 142: Human Skin Mask

After Nie Yang'er finished speaking, Mu Chen didn't know anything, so he asked them.

"Why didn't you mention it to me today when I asked Mrs. Nie about Pingping, and when we went to the wasteland to investigate the scene?"

"Alas!" Nie Yang'er sighed after hearing this and said, "You know, the Nie family has always been like a curse, and the men of the family have died one after another. In my lifetime, it hasn't been broken. ”

"But Sister Pingping was the first female dependant of the Nie family to die suddenly, and she was the first person to have a change after death. This made the Nie family, who only had women left, worried. ”

This became a taboo for the whole family, and the grandmother ordered that everyone should stop talking about it. When you went to look for Grandma this morning, she forgot to tell you about her grief, and I didn't dare to mention it without Grandma's permission. ”

So it was, Mu Chen vaguely felt in his heart that there was something hidden in this Nie family, and I was afraid that something big would happen. I don't know if he and his friends can help the Nie family avoid this catastrophe.

"It's too late today and the temple is closed. I'll take you there again tomorrow. Nie Yang'er said.

"Good. Mu Chen agreed.

But after Nie Yang'er left, Mu Chen said to Bai Chen: "Let's go, let's go and have a look." ”

"Huh, where are you going?" Bai Chen asked suspiciously.

"Temple. ”

Bai Chen didn't understand what Mu Chen meant, and asked, "Didn't you say that you would go tomorrow?"

Mu Chen really wanted to know where the tacit understanding between him and Bai Chen to join forces to defeat Yingtz a few days ago had gone!

Mu Chen had no choice but to explain: "The best time to go is at night, what can you find out if there are so many people during the day? Besides, do dead people dare to change in broad daylight? Of course, except for you." ”

"I'm going too!"

Mu Chen refused to give up and said: "Bai Chen is a zombie who knows the dead best, it is enough for the two of us to go, otherwise the target will be too big to attract attention." You help me take good care of Yaosi, and notify me of anything in time. ”

After listening to Mu Chen's analysis, he agreed.

After midnight, the Nie family had all fallen asleep, and Mu Chen and Bai Chen sneaked out of the Nie family together.

When Nie Yang'er told them about this, Mu Chen had already asked the location of the temple, which was on the edge of the suburbs in the south of Yunzhou City, and it only took about half an hour from Nie's house to the temple.

It is said that this temple is the largest in Yunzhou City, and the incense is prosperous. The abbot of Yunkong inside is still a monk, who has studied Buddhism since he was a child, and has also practiced a lot of spells, which has leveled the disaster for many people, and is loved by the people of Yunzhou City.

Presumably, Mrs. Nie took a fancy to this point and chose to hand over Pingping to Yunkong.

Almost everyone in Yunzhou City has come here to worship the Buddha, or ask the abbot for guidance, and listen to the abbot's interpretation of the Buddha's scriptures, which has attracted many good men and women.

In the early hours of the morning, there was silence around the entire temple. Mu Chen and Bai Chen turned over and crossed the courtyard wall and entered the temple.

The two quietly searched the temple for the place where Pingping's body was stored, but they looked at every room and found nothing.

"What should I do? nothing?" Bai Chen asked in a low voice.

The two of them even searched the kitchen of the temple and the utility room in the backyard where firewood was placed, but they didn't find Pingping.

At this time, Mu Chen suddenly thought of a place, the Buddha hall dedicated to the Buddha, which is the place where people usually burn incense and worship the Buddha, and the monks meditate and chant the scriptures.

When the two of them first entered, they saw the room, but when they saw that it was locked, they only thought that the temple people were afraid that someone would steal the tributes inside. Didn't expect Pinkie to be put there.

But now it is true that Mu Chen and Bai Chen have finished searching the temple, and only this Daxiong Treasure Hall remains. In order not to miss any opportunity, the two came to the front of the temple.

"Will you pick the lock?" asked Mu Chen.

"No, it won't. Bai Chen shook his head, "Then how do we get in?"

"I'll take a look. ”

I saw Mu Chen raise his head and jump up and jump onto the roof of the main hall. The roof of this hall is made of tiles, Mu Chen squatted lightly on the tiles, and after finding a good place, he took down the tiles and carefully piled them up next to them.

In a few moments, a hole opened to allow people to enter. Mu Chen beckoned Bai Chen to come up, and the two jumped down one after another, successfully entering the Daxiong Treasure Palace.

In addition to the Buddha statue in the middle and several other Buddha statues in this treasure hall, there are some scriptures and many tributes from pilgrims.

Bai Chen said: "I still haven't found it, isn't Pingping in the temple?"

"Probably not. Mu Chen was sure that Pingping was in the temple, "Look carefully, there should be a secret passage." You see there are shelves of scriptures and books under these futons, and I check the Buddha statues. ”

Mu Chen carefully inspected the small Buddha statues next to him, knocked on each of them, and found no surprises. At the same time, Bai Chen has also finished checking, and it is still the same.

"There's still this big Buddha left. ”

Mu Chen stood in front of the big Buddha and looked up at the Buddha statue with his eyes closed and chanting, Mu Chen observed that there was a thin white line on the top of the Buddha's head.

He flew to the top of the Buddha statue, and sure enough, he found a mystery on the top of the Buddha's head.

I saw that this Buddha statue had a white thread growing from the top of its head, of course, it did not grow on its own, but someone deliberately put it in.

Mu Chen grabbed the white line and lifted it up vigorously, only to hear a "click", and the mechanism was triggered. The body of the Buddha was split into two halves. The back half of the body gradually detached and leaned towards the ground.

When the half of the body fell completely to the ground, a coffin that had been held in place on it also fell. Inside the coffin lay a man completely covered in a white cloth, surrounded by ice. The man was tied to the coffin with a rope. But by the figure, you can tell that this is a woman.

"Could it be Pinkie?"

Bai Chen hurriedly ran over to open the coffin and began to untie the rope, while Mu Chen also jumped down and helped stare out the window.

After the rope was untied, Mu Chen and Bai Chen looked at each other and nodded, counted three times silently in their hearts, and then lifted the white cloth.

Indeed, as Nie Yang'er said, Pingping's eyes widened with anger and her mouth was wide open. In addition to these two points, Mu Chen found that Pingping's corpse was a little different.

Pingping's two ears are tightly together, and her toes are straight and straight, forming a horizontal line with the instep.

Mu Chen thought that Pingping should have become like this recently, and the Nie family hadn't found out yet.

"Mu Chen, this seems to be a corpse change. Bai Chen on the side pointed to Pingping's straight feet and whispered.

Bai Chen is a zombie and knows the dead best. He came to this conclusion when he saw Pinny's feet.

Mu Chen naturally believed Bai Chen's words, nodded and said, "Let's take a look at the injuries on her body first and find out what the fatal injuries are." ”

The two bowed to Pingping's corpse and examined Pingping's body at the risk of being disrespectful to the deceased. But there are no important findings, and although Pinkie has scars on her body, they are not fatal. And in some places, there are already corpse spots, and there is no way to see them.

After the inspection was fruitless, Mu Chen was not discouraged, but felt very confused by another question. That is, why did the temple hide Pingping's body here?

Just when Mu Chen racked his brains to think, Bai Chen, who had been carefully observing, suddenly discovered something.

"Mu Chen, look at this. Bai Chen pointed to the back of Pingping's head and said.

Just now, Bai Chen wanted to check whether Pingping's head had been fatally injured by the blow, so he brushed her hair away, but found something strange on the back of her head.

"Scalp?"

Mu Chen saw that there was a thin piece of flesh-colored substance on the back of Pingping's head, which looked particularly like human skin.

Could it be that the fatal wound that caused Pingping's death was in the back of the head, could it be that something was so strong that the scalp turned out?

Both of them had this thought, but they found that there was no blood around the scalp, and there was nothing unusual about Pinkie's entire head except for the scalp that had been turned out. No wounds, no dents.

Just when Mu Chen and Bai Chen were in trouble again, Bai Chen wanted to press Pingping's head to see if there were any internal injuries.

But when he pressed his hand on his scalp, he felt a strange feeling in his fingers, numb and crispy. The sensation from his fingers told Bai Chen that there was something under this scalp.

Bai Chen suddenly thought of something, only to see him reach out and grab his scalp, and gently tugged at it, the scalp was torn open, and there was still black hair inside. It is the hair in it that causes Bai Chen's crispy feeling.

This also means that the Pingping that Mu Chen and the others checked was not real, and what they touched was just a fake human skin. And the real dead are under the skin of this man.

Mu Chen and Bai Chen gasped, and instantly felt that the temperature in this hall had plummeted to freezing.

Mu Chen only felt that his scalp was numb for a while, no matter how bold he was, he still unconsciously took a few steps back when he saw this. This is really infiltrating from the bottom of my heart.

Although Bai Chen can live like a living person, he is still a dead man. But as a dead man, as a domineering and terrifying zombie, Bai Chen, when he saw this scene, he couldn't help but feel scary.

But Bai Chen still tried to calm down his emotions, tried to suppress his trembling right hand, and pinched the dummy skin again.

Mu Chen nodded to Bai Chen in admiration, and silently cheered for him in his heart.

"Lighten up, don't rip the skin, we'll have to put it back on later. ”

Bai Chen simply closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and slowly tore off the human skin with goosebumps that erupted on his body.

"My mother!" Bai Chen opened his eyes and looked down, took several steps backwards, and exclaimed unconsciously.

Bai Chen covered his mouth and looked at Mu Chen incredulously, while Mu Chen, who was standing on the side, stared at the real face in the coffin, and was already speechless in shock.

"Mu Chen, this, this turned out to be ......"
