The Secret Art of Refining the Dead: The Walking Corpse File

Chapter 63 Cause of Death
It stands to reason that the investigation progress of this group of people is still very good, but I don't know what happened, and it will end up like this in the end.

Although there are many records in this notebook, the information I can see is too little, so I don't know what the expedition team experienced later, but the story about the ancient country of Huangchao made me Impressed.

The gods buried under the ancient country?
Will the gods live under the ancient country?Buried in the ground, is that a corpse?

However, this story does not describe in detail the origin of the so-called god. I used to doubt whether the god really existed, but now I have begun to believe that old saying, which Tan Ren often talks about. There is a saying: There are gods standing three feet above the head, people are doing it, and the sky is watching.

But even if there is something true about the gods, one cannot fully believe it.The ancients had limited knowledge and vision, so they attached the theory of ghosts and gods to many things that they could not understand. Therefore, in the long history, many gods were artificially 'created'. Without divine power?
No one knows whether the gods of the ancient country of Huangchao have such supernatural powers to cause the earth to collapse.

I closed the notebook and felt sympathy for the man in front of me. Looking at his curled body, I couldn't help thinking about the cause of his death.Is he injured?Why is his hand in such a weird posture?The exit on the left is not far from here, why didn't he escape, but died here?
Is there any danger in this place?
I became vigilant and looked around. In the space invaded by darkness, everything seemed indistinct. The unknown darkness made people feel as if some monster would jump out at any time.In order to understand the cause of his death, and to understand the possible dangers of this place, I moved closer to the mummy.

Even though the nose is a bit blocked due to the cold, but when you get close, you can still smell a faint smell of corpses, which is really disgusting.I scratched it with a dagger, and patiently searched for the wounds on the corpse.There were no obvious large wounds from the arms to the extreme back of the legs of the mummy.

Of course, if there are smaller wounds, they will definitely not be visible now. After all, the muscles and skin have shrunk, and there is still a layer of black oil floating on the wrinkles. Except for some fatal injuries, it is naturally difficult to leave traces on the rest .As a last resort, I turned my gaze to the mummy.

Perhaps the wound was on the front?

In fact, the front side is the place with the most fatal injuries, but the mummy tightly clenched one hand in front of its chest. If I want to check the front side, I can't use a dagger, I have to break it apart with my hands.I didn't have gloves or anything like that, and I really didn't want to touch the greasy mummy with my hands, so I didn't check the front side immediately.

At this moment, I had no other choice. Enduring my nausea, I slowly opened the mummy's hand. The slippery and stench was accompanied by stiffness. This strange tactile sensation is really unforgettable for a lifetime.Since I joined Tanxuan Firm, my life has been refreshed time and time again with the lower limit called nausea.

Thinking of this, I thought of the dead Tan Ren again, not to mention how uncomfortable I was.

Being so distracted, I didn't control the strength in my hand well. In the darkness, I heard a click, and that arm was directly broken by me.

That's right, it's broken.

I stared at the arm in my hand, and then looked at the dry black and greasy head in front of me. At this moment, those dark eye sockets happened to be staring straight at me, which made me hairy.

"Accidental, don't blame, Amitabha, Amitabha." I was about to put my arm back into my arms, when I rolled my eyes, I suddenly saw a wallet in his arms.The wallet and rotten clothes are wrapped in corpse oil, so it's easy to miss if you don't look carefully.

This man died more than 20 years ago.

More than 20 years, whether it is long or short, but China is a country with rapid development. What was it like more than 20 years ago?To put it simply, those who could afford wallets at that time were people with status and status, ordinary people, women used that kind of cloth wallets, and a little bit of rural people or those who had just left the countryside Migrant workers, the money is stuffed in the socks. When they go to the canteen to buy things, they don’t dig out their trouser pockets. They bend down to take out the socks first.

It seems that this old gentleman who does archaeology is doing well. A cultured person is better than an uneducated one.But when they are about to die, they all cling to their wallets. Could it be that there is a lot of money in them?Or is it loaded with something important?

Thinking of this, I picked out the wallet with a dagger, opened it, and found that there was really money inside, it was the old banknotes of the past.There is not a lot of money, and the sum is only ten yuan. Twenty years ago, ten yuan was not a lot of money. It is just such a small amount of money, and it is tempting to hold on to it. This old gentleman of archaeology is too money-saving a little bit?
I feel something is wrong, people have such a high level of awareness, looking at the contents of the work notes, they are conscientious in their work, not like a miser, is it for other things?My eyes instantly focused on a photo on the wallet.

It was a black-and-white photo. The photo itself had been covered with a layer of glue, and it was stuck with a plastic layer, so it was not stained by corpse oil.I took out the photo, and saw a beautiful woman with a single braid, holding a baby in her arms.

Obviously, this should be a photo of his wife and children. At this moment, a thought popped into my mind, perhaps, it was actually this photo that he was protecting before he died?As soon as this picture came out, I felt my nose sore. I am a more emotional person, and it would be uncomfortable to watch reports on TV about leukemia, abandonment of the elderly, and abuse of cats and dogs.

This person died here for no reason, what kind of fear should he have faced before he died?How much should I miss my wife and children?
If at the beginning, I just wanted to know the cause of his death, in order to avoid some possible risks, then now I want to find out the cause of his death, and even bring his body with him if possible. go out.Perhaps his wife and children have been waiting for him.

Under the stimulation of this kind of emotion, I didn't feel how disgusting the mummy was, so I observed it more carefully.There is an ID card in the wallet, but the glue is not very good, so the contents inside are blurred, and his identity cannot be determined.However, the Public Security Bureau might be able to handle bringing the original document back.Furthermore, even without an ID card, it should be easy to verify the identity of those who disappeared during archaeological missions more than 20 years ago with that notebook.

I started to observe his front, and to my surprise, there was no wound on his front.

This is so weird.

There were no injuries, so how did he die?

His outstretched hand was obviously a push-back movement. Obviously, before he died, he must not be the only one here, and there must be other dangerous things approaching him.

No, I must be missing something.

I began to re-examine the mummy. In order to be more detailed, I did not keep the original appearance of the mummy, but turned the corpse. At this moment, I suddenly felt that the corpse was not so terrible, it was lying there quietly, Waiting for my help, the initial nausea and discomfort was gone without a trace.

Doing the same thing with a different attitude will produce different results.Youdao means not to do bad things and not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. Now I have a sense of justice in my heart, and I am really fearless.In this way, the efficiency has been greatly improved, and it didn't take long before I found a clue.

The wound was found.

Surprisingly, his injury was on his neck.

On the neck near the chin, even though the skin has become dry and wrinkled, you can still see the hideous wounds on it.Those are two holes, very deep and big, as if bitten by snakes and other animals.

There is indeed a snake in this place, but if it is a snake, then his pushing hand should be close to the neck and facing inward, but the corpse's hand is far away from the neck and facing outward.

Now, the fangs of snakes can't be so big, right?

I thought that if I found the wound, I would be able to solve the mystery, but I didn't expect that it would lead to an even more puzzling mystery.

What was it that killed him?
I thought about it for a few minutes, but I couldn't come up with a clue. In desperation, I decided not to worry about this issue, and wait until I got out.I took off my coat and packed the mummy into the coat in a package. The greasy forehead was curled together like a baby. At this moment, I felt it was very peaceful.

Immediately afterwards, I packed it up, carried it on my back, took the lighter, left the collapsed space, and walked straight ahead.
