Chapter 34 The Heartbeat of the Millennium Female Corpse

I couldn't describe the panic at that moment in words. It was as if the cells in my whole body were about to burst, and I was so frightened that my liver and gallbladder were torn apart.I couldn't care about anything anymore, and the strong sense of fear caused me to directly lower the female corpse on my back and knock it over to the ground.Then she ran away from the female corpse as if fleeing, and looked at the sleeping bag on the ground with lingering fear from four or five meters away. I couldn't believe that the things inside were alive.

The strong sense of horror surged, and I couldn't control my hands. I rubbed the matches for a long time, but I accidentally knocked them down, and fell to the ground.Holding on to the slippery flame, the faint flame lit up, shining on the sleeping bag not far away, without any sound.I observed for a while, and after a dozen matches were struck, the female corpse looked lifeless and motionless.Slowly, the soul that was frightened out just now began to slowly return to the body, and the mind began to clear up a bit. The thousand-year-old female corpse actually has a heartbeat?This cannot be explained by Newton's three laws and atheism.

A few more minutes passed, the sleeping bag was still the same, and the fraudulent corpse did not appear.I began to become rational, and even wondered if I had hallucinations just now. The strange gas in the Hades might confuse people's nerves. This is the reason why we couldn't get out just now.After thinking of this, I suddenly felt that everything was not so scary anymore. Although I still felt a little uncomfortable, after the strong sense of fear, I got a mental slowness in exchange, and I was not as nervous as before.

I began to analyze rationally. Three years ago, a group of mysterious people transported the female corpse to the ancient tomb and placed it in the sacrificial altar.Dabeitou even regarded it as a treasure, and thought of ways to get it back to the ground, which showed that this female corpse must have its absolute value.But if I want to talk about what it is, I feel that my brain is not enough, but it will definitely not be superficial. I know that our Chinese rice dumplings are valuable, and the old man likes it very much, but it is similar to the fact that female corpses can be transported to the United States for exhibitions to earn money. This is not necessarily the case.When I thought of this, and saw that female corpse was still lying quietly on the ground, a strange idea suddenly came to my mind, that is, I wanted to understand what value there was in her body.

I lit another match, and I don't know where the courage came from. I slowly approached the female corpse, and I kept thinking about the words of Dabeitou in my heart, so as to make myself feel better. It can’t be called people anymore, it’s nothing more than an object, a skin.” I tried my best to look at the female corpse rationally and objectively, and when I got close, I took a match in my left hand to catch the flame, and my right hand trembled. Unzip the sleeping bag.

With a sound of "Fu--", the black sleeping bag was split into two by me, revealing the female corpse inside. With the faint light of the fire, I looked inside and felt my whole body stiffen immediately.

Although I had prepared enough beforehand and printed countless strange scenes in my mind, it still couldn't compare with what I saw with my own eyes.The corpse had undergone earth-shaking changes in less than an hour. The body of the female corpse had begun to shrink violently, and the skin all over her body had become dry and wrinkled.Muscle tissue has shrunk in a large area, and the leg bones of the arms and limbs are faintly visible, as if describing a haggard old man.The face, which was originally delicate, has become surprisingly frightening, with sunken eye sockets and protruding mouth, like a mummy picked up from an iceberg.

Although it looked ugly, but luckily it wasn't scary. I felt a little better, so I didn't have the mood to study the corpse over and over again. As soon as I closed my eyes, I wanted to zip up the sleeping bag. It was "quiet" if I couldn't see it.During the process, my fingers accidentally touched a bulging object, which blocked it for a while. I immediately stopped, slid a match, and saw a tumor-like hole in the chest of the female corpse. uplift.

I pressed it with my hand, but I felt like there was a sound inside, thumping, like a human heartbeat.But when you touch it, it will make a sound, like something round is rolling inside.The touch from my fingers told me that there must be something in the chest cavity of this female corpse, and the heartbeat I mistakenly felt just now came from here.

I suddenly had a desire to dig out the thing inside the female corpse. Although I knew it was absurd and I didn't respect the dead, my strong curiosity had prompted me to eagerly want to find out the answer.I hesitated, thought and thought, and finally made up my mind and made up my mind.I thought that I would die if I couldn't get out of this ancient tomb, and I would die if I found the answer, so it would be better to come here sooner.

Thinking of this level, I simply broke the jar and smashed it.I searched all over my body, but couldn't find anything like a knife, so I directly used my hand to pull out the thing protruding from the corpse. Unexpectedly, it was a corpse of nearly a thousand years after all, and the muscle tissue had become like a corpse. The slush was as crispy as it gets.After a few strokes, I pulled the thing out of the corpse's abdominal cavity, lit a match, and saw that it was a black gold box.

The box is nothing eye-catching, and the workmanship is not very fine. I shook it, and there seemed to be round objects inside.Maybe when I was carrying this female corpse just now, the ice texture in the corpse began to liquefy and shrink, and the water in the box overflowed automatically, thus forming a space. There is an illusion of pulsation.

The box was not locked, but was fastened with a unique brass hinge. I opened the box carefully, and saw a fish-eye stone lying inside, which was crystal clear and smooth; It is surprisingly similar to the one I saw drinking in Menjia Hutong, Beijing.

I felt incredible at the moment, and when I was about to pick it up for a closer look, I suddenly heard a sound coming from behind.In desperation, he hurriedly held the fish-eye stone in his palm, and looked behind him in horror: "Who?"

A beam of light came on suddenly, and my eyes couldn't adapt to the light. The bright light made me unable to open my eyes, so I quickly blocked it with one hand.Only then did the man feel that he had lost his composure, so he shone the light to the side, poked a face over, smiled embarrassingly, and looked at me seriously.With a ghostly appearance and a greedy street boy's demeanor, I was surprised to find that it was Liu Maodi.

"Why are you so sneaky, and you don't make a sound when you show up?" I pretended to be calm on the surface, but secretly put away the fish's eye stone, and pulled the sleeping bag up casually, so that he would not see the corpse inside.I was on guard in my heart. Although this kid is not a good guy, he is a person who forgets his roots when he sees profits. He is a typical type of person who takes advantage of the advantages. .

Liu Maodi looked at me and didn't speak at first, then sat down cross-legged, looked sideways at the sleeping bag behind me, and covered the flashlight with his clothes so that the light wouldn't leak too much.He stared at me for a while, his face looked relaxed and excited, "It's just the two of us at last."

Hearing that his words were not in the right taste, what do you mean it’s just the two of us in the end, I snorted immediately: "You are still gloating, but now you are laughing, and some of you will cry later."

Liu Maodi didn't think so, turned his head quite proudly, and suddenly put his face closer: "Little brother, don't you really think that you can go out with the help of that Boss Hu? We are all for him to use." Yes, don't expect him to cover you up if something really happens, in his eyes, maybe we are not even a fart."

I have a lot of weight in Dabeitou's heart. Of course I know that there is no need for Liu Maodi to remind him. What Dabeitou cares about is how much use value I have. Once I have no more of these things, he will not hesitate to take them away. I kick aside.Thinking of this situation, I suddenly thought of it again, and a bold guess suddenly emerged. Could it be that the value of me has disappeared without knowing it?Dabeitou did this entirely because he wanted to get rid of me as a burden, because in fact, there was really nothing I could do to help him.What's more, the appearance of the thin man has completely replaced or even surpassed my position as "military adviser". He has every reason to use tricks to throw me away.

But I changed my mind to think about the meaning of it, and it seemed that I felt wrong again. If I were to say that I was not as strong as Niu Er and the others, but it was not completely useless.From the fact that I can understand the mortuary text, and from the fact that he deliberately let me carry this female corpse, it is not difficult to see that he is quite at ease with me.My biggest advantage is that there is no bad water in my stomach. In their eyes, compared with those old rivers and lakes, I am as pure as a piece of white paper. It must be a wise choice to entrust important tasks to me.

Brother Liu Mao saw that I was still puzzled, thinking hard but to no avail, so he simply shared his words with me: "I don't want to chat with you anymore, and I don't want to chat with you. The reason why we left The reason for leaving this hall is because of one person, and this person plays a vital role."

After I heard it, I said without thinking, "Isn't that the sound of footsteps? You're still talking nonsense!"

As if wanting to prove something, Liu Maodi waved his hands hastily, shook his head repeatedly and said no, "You really can't guess who that person is? It's far away in the sky! It's right in front of you!"

I looked at him seriously, thinking that this kid must not be bitten by zongzi, right?Talking so incoherently, the brashness was accidentally blown out.She laughed at him a little mockingly: "Come on? Just you?"

"Let me tell you the truth!" Liu Maodi saw that I underestimated him, and hurriedly retorted in a false and serious manner: "It's not that I was blind, all this was ordered by someone, and I was just a pawn, following orders. It's my mother-in-law. Tell me secretly, after you enter this Hades, try to drag out the rest of the people so that you can be taken away alone, she has something to say to you."

Brother Liu Mao spoke eloquently, with a very strong tone, not as if he was fooling people. Recalling the puzzling experience in the Underworld just now, I suddenly noticed a detail and realized that the matter turned out to be so simple.Brother Liu Maodi just played a little scheming, I'm not sure if it was the ghost idea of ​​the old woman who died in advance.But one thing is for sure, that is, we have all ignored this issue. In our eyes, Liu Maodi is a person who is often ignored along the way. No one will care about his thoughts, and no one will deliberately monitor his every move. .That led to the emergence of a phenomenon, that is, no matter what Liu Maodi did, we would think it was his reckless move, which was natural.

I still remember that when I first entered the Hades, my big back was sweating profusely from being roasted by the miner's lamp, but Liu Maodi took over the lighting at this moment, my big back was like falling asleep and fell on a pillow, so I was very happy.The next development of the matter was that we couldn't get out of life and death, and we walked blindly based on our feelings as if we were encountering a ghost hitting a wall.In fact, in the subconscious, especially in the absolute darkness, the desire for light in the human heart is reflected to the extreme. Liu Maodi pretends to lead the way unconsciously, and we will definitely follow his route.As long as he advances in an arc subconsciously, and it's not very obvious, we definitely won't feel it, and we will just be led by the nose foolishly.

After reacting, I looked at Liu Maodi dumbly for a moment, and realized that this young man was pretending to be stupid along the way, and there were still some cities, so I asked him bluntly: "Tell me, which road are you from? The old woman asked you to leave me alone, what exactly do you want to do?"
