In the name of my family: My little brother is a big guy!

“Where are the dead people? Let me see! ”

Genji dragged He Ziqiu back, and he looked into the gate.

“One, two, three, four, four and a half!”

He counted the number of corpses.

“What’s going on with half?”

He Ziqiu asked strangely.

“It’s a half-cut corpse, only the upper body is seen, and the other half is not here!”

Genji turned around and said, “These people have been dead for some years, and the ‘thing’ that killed them should be gone.” ”

“Hard to say!”

With a gentle push, the door creaked open.

After hundreds of years, the gate still seems to be new, making a very soft sound. I didn’t push very hard, and the door was completely open.

One of the five corpses collapsed in the doorway, less than half a meter away from going out.

But this half meter became the last distance he could not reach in his life.

Shining down with a flashlight, the corpse’s clothes were covered with a thick layer of dust.

At a glance, the five corpses remained basically intact.

It did not decay into white bones, but dried into dried corpses.

The flesh becomes a layer of dry skin, clinging tightly to the bone. The hair became a mess and the scalp almost parted.

Genji circled around several corpses and asked, “This is an ancient tomb in my country, how can a gringo die here?” ”

From the beginning of seeing the corpse, He Ziqiu was also thinking about this question.

When investigating the case, I happened to hear the legend of Wuliu Lake, and the predecessor of the university town in the story was founded by a foreign missionary.

At that time, I was still a little curious why I built a school in such a desolate place.

Now it seems that it may not be the real missionaries, they are likely to come to the underground tomb.

“Makes sense!”

Genji nodded and said: “No matter what these gringos want, it seems that they have not succeeded, and they have lost their lives.” ”

“I guess the pile of white bones in the partial hall may also have something to do with them.”

Thinking that this group of people can get to this place, there must be some means, maybe there is something on their body that can save their lives.

He Ziqiu said: “Search the corpses carefully, maybe you can find items that prove the identity of these people, or things that can save lives.” ”

“Well, four and a half in total, see if you are injured.” You two, me two and a half, how’s that? ”

“Hurry up, with your skill in talking, you have already finished looking for it.”

After speaking, He Ziqiu leaned down and carefully touched the corpse.

The bodies were all lying on the ground head-on, and it is estimated that they were attacked and killed while fleeing.

It has been a long time since the death, and the smell of corpses is much lighter, and it is almost impossible to smell.

After becoming a dry corpse, the body shrank a lot, and you didn’t have to get too close to check your clothes.

Not much was found on the first corpse, only a cross was found on the neck, wiped off the dust on it, and was illuminated by a flashlight, refracting a silver brilliance, which looked silver.

It was only on the second corpse that it was found, with a box tightly held in its arms.

He Ziqiu took a lot of effort to take out the box, to my surprise, the box was not very heavy, and I could pick it up with one hand.

Kuroko’s surface was carved with many strange symbols, and he only recognized two of them, one of the crusaders and the other of the magic pentagram.

There are five more that have never been seen at all. There was not a single gap on the surface of the box, and it shook lightly a few times, and the inside was hollow. Can’t be sure if it’s something.

Only such an item was found on the second corpse, and it refused to be thrown away when fleeing for his life. It must be very important to hold it so tightly when you die.

He Ziqiu felt that this box might be a magic weapon, which is why he held it so tightly. If you can figure out how to use it, it will definitely help the two of you.

“What did you find?”

Genkey came over with a few items.

“A box, a cross, what about you?”

He Ziqiu asked.

Genkey shook the object in his hand and said, “A cross, a very old book, like the Bible.” Rather, there are more problems with that half of the corpse. ”

He took the cross from Genkey’s hand and compared it with the cross in his own hand, exactly the same. It must have been the work of the same craftsman, indicating that the group may have been a member of a certain sect.

I took the book and flipped through it a few times, and the book looked like it was some years old, and the cover was made of leather.

I opened it and read a few pages casually, but I couldn’t understand what was written at all.

Can’t understand a word. There are also illustrations on it, all of which are abstract and also incomprehensible.

He wiped the cross carefully and handed one to Genkey. “Put it on, it might work.”

Genkey took the cross, but did not wear it.

He said, “I don’t believe this, can I put it on?” This is the realm of the Xia Kingdom, can it work? Besides, if it were really useful, could they just die? ”

After all, it was a dead man’s thing, and it was a little obscure to put on, and it was put in the pocket. Then he gave the box to Genkey along with the book.

“Put these two things away, maybe it will be of great use.”

“Done!”

Genkey opened his backpack and put the box in.

“What happened to that half of the corpse just now?”

“Go over and see for yourself.”

He Ziqiu walked to the half-cut corpse and saw that the half-cut corpse was not only a problem, but the half-corpse itself was a big problem. The corpse had no clothes on it and did not look like a missionary.

Because of the angle, only half of it could be seen at the door just now, like a half-cut corpse. Close to see all, with a flashlight, the upper body of the corpse is normal, still a human appearance.

But to the waist, the pelvis is not, and the vertebrae become very long, like the bones of a snake. There are no bones in the lower body except for the vertebrae.

“That’s what you’re talking about, a lot of problems?”

I asked.

“Isn’t that a problem?”

Genkey asked rhetorically.

“This problem is big, you should have called me to see it earlier.”

He Ziqiu pointed to the snake-bone-like spine and asked, “Do you think this is a person?” ”

Genji scratched his head and said, “At least half of them are human!” ”

“You shine a flashlight on me!”

Crouch down and take a closer look at the vertebrae of the corpse. This bone doesn’t look like there are any gaps, it doesn’t look like it’s fake.

“Is there something to pick up?”

I need to examine the body more closely.

“Use this!”

Geng Ji handed the Luoyang shovel to He Ziqiu.

I picked the vertebrae with a Luoyang shovel, originally I just wanted to try it, but I didn’t expect to pick up the entire vertebrae.

“Do yourself a favor, go up.”

Hand Luoyang shovel to Genji.

He lifted up, and his spine parted from his head. This vertebrae, which is almost two meters long, seems to be one with the bone, but it seems to be able to separate.

Pinching the tip of the spine with your hand, it seems to be different from human bones, there are two rows of sharp bones, the top is like a hook, which can firmly hook the skull.

Although I am not a forensic doctor, I can also see that this is too weird.

“It seems that this thing is chasing missionaries.”

He Ziqiu restored the scene in his mind, the half-corpse must have a big battle with the missionary, and the missionary was defeated and fled.

Fleeing to the door and being chased by half-corpses, the missionaries resisted desperately, and both sides died.

Genji didn’t quite believe it, touched his vertebrae with his foot and said, “Just such a thing can kill four people in a short time?” With what to kill? Tail pumped to death? ”

“Then I don’t know.”

Half corpses are dead, flesh and blood are corrupted. He Ziqiu couldn’t imagine what it would be like when it was alive.

Genji took the Luoyang shovel and turned the half-corpse over.

The two made a new discovery. There are many small crosses under the half-corpse, some of which are embedded in the bones, and they can’t be cut down with force.

About ninety percent of the corpses were killed by these small crosses, and a few were picked up and put in their pockets.

“Let’s go, the investigation is over here.”

Genji urged.

“Peace be upon you!”

He Ziqiu and Geng Ji walked towards the inside of the main hall.

Once again, the facts tell them not to believe legends, legends can provide clues, but not all of them.

Legend has it that the missionaries who built the school were a group of good people, but behind the scenes they were robbing tombs. It’s just that they all died here without success.

The legend is beautiful, the reality is even more brutal.

The inside of the hall is very simple, I saw a few bronze musical instruments near the gate, only recognized chimes and drums, and the rest He Ziqiu had never seen it at all.

Further inside, murals appeared on the walls on both sides.

In the painting, a woman stands on her side, with a high updo and a thin waist, wide sleeves and a long skirt, graceful and wealthy, and clasped her palms as a prayer.

On the woman’s head, a phoenix is painted on the front left, making a flying shape; Opposite the phoenix is a dragon painted in the shape of a soaring rise.

He Ziqiu whispered: “This may be the tomb owner!” ”
