death row

Chapter 5 The Big Scar

Although the flashlight flashed only for a moment, I can be sure that I just saw a ghost, and suddenly a chill formed in my body, almost freezing myself into ice, but when I turned the light beam back to confirm, that weird and terrifying " The Two-Headed Man” completely disappeared into the darkness.

I took a deep breath and said, "Did anyone see it just now?"

No one spoke.

In such a world surrounded by darkness and severe cold all year round, there must be some weird conditions that are different from the bright world, such as the big red coffin, the man who raised the wolves, the roasted whole brown bear corpse, and The "two-headed man", God knows what we will encounter next.

But I also know that I have no right to complain at all. This is not because I am a death row prisoner, but because the land we are stepping on does not belong to human beings. "Large banners" were put up, but we were determined to break in.

Perhaps those four soldiers once set foot on this strange land like us, so they completely lost the chance to leave alive, and now we are repeating what they did.

Now I am calmer, because when you clearly know that you are bound to die, your mood becomes more relaxed.

"I think this mission is underestimated at all. If this is considered E-level, what about A-level missions?" I stuck the flashlight in the snow and said.

"Whether the rating is right or wrong is none of our business, as long as we do it right." Gou Changqing said.

I suddenly felt it was funny, and couldn't help laughing and lay down on the icy snow. No one smoothed things over this time, because everyone was very sad.

After a while Gou Changqing said lightly: "I understand why you are laughing, you are nothing more than a death row prisoner, but you are just a scum, why are you putting on airs and pretending to be a good person..."

"Boss, I'm sure the third brother didn't mean that. We are in a very dangerous situation now. After some words..."

Gou Changqing directly interrupted Lei Zhen, who wanted to smooth things over, and said, "Let me tell you, maybe I will forget about it in the future. In fact, when I first joined the underworld, my thoughts were closer to the current state of the third child. I felt that I was nothing more than No matter how bad a rogue is, he deserves it, but it didn't take long for me to feel that I was wrong because..." At this point, he seemed to laugh at himself and continued: "It's the first time in my life. Let’s perform a special mission for the first time, I was just 17 years old, and I went with the first boss to kill a man named Ma Mingbao, because this man killed his friend.”

"Ma Mingbao's elder brother is the captain of our criminal police team, so many people persuaded the boss to forget about it. Ma Mingbao is also willing to pay money, just ask him to make a number. According to normal logic, the person who was killed is a hooligan. According to the criminal law, Ma Mingbao cannot be sentenced to death even if he is caught, and he is willing to pay money, the boss will not lose face and even get a strong support, but he insists on killing Ma Mingbao. I really can't understand his motives, so I asked him why he had to do this when he was in an ambush. I haven’t forgotten a single word the boss said to me, and I kept it all in my heart. He said that hooligans are also human beings. To be a human being, you must have principles and bottom lines. If you entrust your life to yourself, you have to take responsibility, everyone has only one life, and no amount of money can buy it, so Ma Mingbao has to kill someone with his life for his life."

"Boss also said that you have to look like a living person when you are alive. It doesn't matter what you do. You have to stand tall and breathe well. It doesn't matter whether others look at you. The most important thing is that you have to look at it." Speaking of myself, San’er, you are a tomb robber. Few of the people you deal with speak seriously and do things. I can understand all the current state of mind, but I just want to ask you a question, please answer it seriously. Back then you Why were parents killed by poachers?"

My adoptive parents died at the gunpoint of four poachers. I was on death row for shooting two of the four who were still alive. The scene at that time is vivid. The poachers wanted to take them away The few old things that were just dug up, my parents resisted desperately, and were shot to death in the end, but I survived by hiding behind the coffin.

I couldn't help feeling sad and said, "They don't want their hard-earned things to be taken away by others."

"Of course they know that the poachers are ruthless, and if they don't obey, they will be shot, but they stick to their bottom line at the most dangerous moment, and they didn't choose to be cowards who escaped because of external threats, so your parents and I Although my bosses are not good people, they at least live like a human being, and this is what I pursue." Gou Changqing, who never talks long words, talked for almost a month today, and explained me thoroughly.

"Boss, I admit that I shouldn't keep thinking about backing down. I, I was really wrong." This is the first time in my life that I admit my mistakes very seriously.

"You don't need to tell me if you're wrong, just tell yourself, and tell your conscience." Gou Changqing stood up and said, "Just now we all saw a terrifying face behind that tree, and even he There are two heads, but I still plan to go and have a look, I don’t force you, we who are willing to follow me go forward together, if you are afraid, just go back the same way.” After saying that, he got up, picked up his gun and walked towards the opposite woods .

The three of us immediately followed up. A good leader can boost the morale of the team at the most critical moment, and Gou Changqing has this ability.

The muzzle of the gun was pointing at the dark area, all of us were concentrating on it, but as the distance got closer and closer, we heard a humming sound as thin as gossamer, which seemed to be the sound of crying, and it seemed that someone A very low voice muttered to himself.

This must be the sound from that "ghost face" just now. Thinking of this, I was covered in cold sweat, and the hand holding the gun trembled involuntarily. I could even clearly see the white mist coming out of my nose. , The rapid and severe panting can explain the panic in my heart. I don't know whether the gun is lethal to this thing, so I can't be sure if I have a way to deal with him once I meet him.

In fact, as a tomb robber, although I have never seen the legendary ghosts and gods, I have learned the methods of exorcising ghosts, such as sprinkling dog blood, swords made of five emperors' money, and some corpses. Talismans, but this time as a military operation, it is impossible for us to prepare these things on our bodies. If I knew I should apply for some.

I told the three of them: "The old law says that when you meet a ghost in the barren mountains, it's fine if you don't spit on anything around it, and ghosts are also afraid of ruthless people. The four of us are murderers. If you really see this thing Don't be cowardly, shouting and cursing at it might scare it away."

All the way to the haunted area after saying this, Gou Changqing made a gesture, and the other three flashlights lit up at the same time, and suddenly saw a gleaming white figure squatting beside the black pine tree not far in front of us, facing With the glare of the wolf-eye flashlight, his pale face and eyes with only the whites of his eyes remained motionless, just looking at us blankly, his mouth wriggling non-stop, and he didn't know what to say.

At the same time, I also saw his whole picture clearly.

The reason for the so-called two heads, one of which is a skull, is that this strange-looking person is holding a black cane in his hand, and a skull is stuck on the top of the cane. Because the light source of the flashlight is too narrow, a "montage" effect is produced. , I thought this man had two heads.

He was wearing a white linen robe, although he was in the ice and snow, but his feet were bare, his long snow-white hair hung down to his waist, fluffy like a permed "explosive head", squatting on the ground with a walking stick like a grown man old macaque.

Just as we were about to ask questions, a few dazzling lights suddenly lit up in the darkness opposite. We were unprepared, and our eyes were immediately dazed by the shaking. After closing our eyes subconsciously, they were full of "little stars" spinning around. To faint.

It took a while for my eyes to regain consciousness. After rubbing and opening them, I saw a black gun barrel pointing at my head.

Dozens of soldiers with live ammunition stood in front of me, just like the shepherd said, all of them were unkempt, dirty and ghostly. Among them was an extremely tall and burly man with a thick cigar in his mouth, staring silently. Looking at me, a scar stretched from forehead to chin, almost splitting a face in half.
