Chapter 48 Chapter 48: Hanging

The narrow aisle was lit with dark red lights, and it was quiet, except for the messy shadows of two people, no one could be seen.Qin Yun let out a "hush" and walked towards the control room.The submarine's motors were still running, and the floor vibrated slightly.They didn't see the staff along the way, and the two quickly came to the door of the control room. Its hatch was closed tightly. Qin Yun put his ears to listen, and there was no sound.He gently pushed open the door, the lights inside were all turned off, it was very dark, and only the control panel was faintly seen flickering with light blue fluorescent light.He realized that there must have been a major incident on the submarine after they dived, which made him worry about Xiaobai's safety.Qin Yun walked in, the control room was terribly silent, the dim fluorescent light hit the ground, and a layer of terrible blue ink spots appeared, like a pool of blue ink.

"Is there anyone?" Qin Yun asked in a trembling voice. There was no response, and Kurosawa Haruya, Xiaobai, Yuan Zhenhe and others all disappeared. Qin Yun fumbled to turn on the light, touched the bulkhead, felt wet, he shook, put his finger under the tip of his nose and sniffed, "No! It's blood!" As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a voice behind him. Gudong fell to the ground, "Liu Hu! Liu Hu! What's wrong with you?" Qin Yun yelled in horror.He saw Liu Hu standing up from the floor, holding something in his hands, looking at it for a long time, trembling, and walking towards him.

Qin Yun approached him and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with you?" Without saying a word, Liu Hu handed him the thing in his hand. Qin Yun caught it, and the tentacles were fluffy. When he touched it again, it turned out to be wet and slippery teeth. He exclaimed: "Human head!" Throwing it out, he stumbled to the switch and turned on the cabin light. When the dark red light poured down, a bloody world appeared before Qin Yun's eyes.There were six corpses lying on the floor, the severed heads rolled aside, the floor was already flooded with blood, the consoles and the bulkheads were covered with blood, this place was like a slaughterhouse, except that what was slaughtered was not animals, but people!Qin Yun rushed over madly, picked up the heads on the ground to check, they were four Japanese soldiers, Ota Nikkawa, Kono Taihei, Xiaobai and Yuan Zhenhe were not among them, he was relieved, knelt down on the ground, and let out a beast-like cry Roar.

"What is this?" Liu Hu asked, pointing to a pattern painted with blood on the bulkhead. Qin Yun looked up and saw a circle of light painted with blood on the bulkhead.Qin Yun yelled: "No, this is the Islamic codename Crescent Moon, all this is done by Yu Sufu!" He was about to draw his gun when he saw five men in wet black robes come out to row. in a row.The man in the middle is very tall and strong, obviously the leader of Yu Sufu.His face is sharp and angular, the short beard on the chin is like a bush of thorns, the bridge of the nose is high, the kennel is deep, the eyes are sharp, the facial contours are rigid, and his face is expressionless.He wears a black Arabian turban with two long streamers and two white metal rings on top of his head.The others are all dressed similarly. The person on his left side is relatively short, with a hooked nose and roe-headed mouse eyes. Just by looking at him, one can tell that he must have a bad stomach.The two standing on the outermost side are very strong, holding AK47 in their hands, and pointing their black muzzles at Qin Yun and Liu Hu.Qin Yun was surprised to find that the person standing on the right side of the leader was actually a black bat, and he shouted in surprise: "It's you! Are you alive?"

The black bat smiled and said, "That's right, Brother Qin, don't come here without any problems." If it wasn't for the reminder of the blood on the ground, Qin Yun would have almost hugged the black bat, "What's going on?" Qin Yun's tone became cold. "Haha...you are just one of the smart archaeologists we have found. For hundreds of years, Yu Sufu has sent thousands of people underground, but no one has achieved such great achievements as you have today." The black bat smiled. Said, "I was dragged into deep water in a sewer a few months ago, it was just my way of getting out."

Qin Yun said angrily: "You have no right to do this? You deceive people into the ground, which is tantamount to killing them." "In order to find cultural treasures, we have to do this." The black bat always smiled, without any guilt. Qin Yun hated this kind of people, he asked: "What are you doing with Xiaobai and Professor Yuan? By the way, there is also Sun Xueli." Liu Hu froze his ears reflexively. "They are very good, I still need someone to drive the submarine to the surface of the lake!" The black bats clapped their hands, and Kurosawa Haruya, Yuan Zhenhe, Xiaobai, Watanabe Yu, Uchida Jun and others were tied with a long rope and connected their hands together. Walked out in a line.

Qin Yun rushed over and shouted: "Let them go!" He wanted to untie the rope from Xiao Bai's hand.At the same time, the cold and hard AK47 pressed against his waist, and he was forced to raise his hands.Yu Sufu tied him and Liu Hu up with the same rope. "Qin Yun, you should hide!" Xiao Bai looked at Qin Yun and said sadly. Qin Yun, who was originally emotional, calmed down when he saw Xiaobai. He shook his head and said, "Who pulled us up?" Xiaobai smiled wryly and didn't speak. Qin Yun knew that she must have seen the prompt from the sonar instrument, and took advantage of Yu Sufu's unpreparedness to press the button to recover the traction rope.He asked again: "Have you seen Sun Xueli?"

"She's on the boat!" Xiaobai replied. "Really? She's not dead?" Liu Hu shouted from behind.Leader Yu Sufu turned his head and glanced at him, his eyes were sharp and chilling. Xiaobai Nunuzui: "It's what the black bat said." "How did they get into the submarine?" Qin Yun asked. Xiaobai said: "After we boarded Yusufu's motorboat, they fled into the underground lake. Taking advantage of our unpreparedness, they swam quietly to the submarine, entered through the open hatch, and lurked." Qin Yun finally understood why he felt uneasy when he returned to the submarine. When he saw the hatch was open, his intuition had threatened him.

Leader Yu Sufu was very cool, he sat down on a stool, and the others stood behind him. "Rise to the lake!" cried the black bat. Kurosawa also said sadly: "You killed all the staff, and this submarine will never float up." A Yu Sufu rushed forward and smashed the handle of AK47 on Kurosawa Haruya's forehead, "If you can't get up, I will send you to hell." Kurosawa was also knocked to the ground, his forehead was bleeding profusely, and half of his face was stained red.Gritting his teeth, he stood up, led everyone to the console, and started the ascent operation.The submarine began to rise slowly, and Kurosawa suddenly turned around and said to Qin Yun: "Your 'father-in-law' is in my hands, and if I die, he will die too!"

"Yu Sufu is cruel, we will all die." Qin Yun knew he was talking about Ito Siyuan, and glanced at Xiaobai, her eyes were full of worry, Qin Yun said to Xiaobai again, "Since entering the ground , I expected today, but I did not expect to have you by my side before I die." Xiaobai laughed happily, and everyone stopped talking. The submarine surfaced, and Qin Yun and others were escorted out of the submarine. They saw a raging fire burning on the deck of the motorboat, and more Yu Sufu in white robes held torches and lined up to welcome the leader back. Everyone boarded the motorboat, four strong men brought out a very polished black rattan chair and placed it on the second deck, and the leader Fu Yusufu sat on it.Most of Yu Sufu's face is stern and unsmiling, except for the black bat, he is always smiling, not like a murderous maniac, but more like a businessman who makes money from anger.He and the thin man walked behind the leader, bent down and said, "Agaha, how should we deal with them?"

The name of the leader of Yusufu is Agaha, which is written in English as agha. This name has the meaning of elder brother, uncle, tribal leader, team leader, and tribe leader.Agaha answered lightly: "Hang!" As soon as the black bat waved, more than a dozen Yu Sufu stepped forward, cut the rope connecting Qin Yun's seven people, and escorted them to a temporary wooden frame in the center of the deck, where more than a dozen nooses hung from the top wall And below, the top is fixed on the rocks around the tombstone, and the end is a big round sleeve, which has been worn black and shiny due to years of use, making people shudder.Qin Yun struggled desperately and shouted: "Black Bat, why are you doing this to me?" Yu Sufu involuntarily put his head on the noose and tightened it, and waited for the Black Bat to raise the sling, within ten minutes. In minutes, the seven of Qin Yun will die.All seven were struggling and screaming, but the black bat remained expressionless, as if what he wanted to execute was not a human, but seven goats. Xiaobai looked at Qin Yun with tears in his eyes and said, "Goodbye, dear." Qin Yun immediately burst into tears, choked up and said: "Goodbye, Xiaobai, Ito Reiko, my girl." The two smiled with tears, hoping that at the last moment of their lives, their eyes would always fall on each other. But Liu Hu shouted towards the dark underground lake: "Sun Xueli—" His voice was loud and sad, echoing in the vast underground lake for a long time.At this time, the door of the motorboat was pushed open, and a face poked out from inside.She is Sun Xueli!His face was rosy, and there was no trace of abuse.Sun Xueli jumped onto the deck, first stared at Liu Hu in a daze, then rushed to Agaha frantically, angrily scolded: "What do you want to do? They helped you find the answer, they are innocent! Let them go!" Agaha's face finally changed, and his anger gradually rose, "No! They killed six loyal Yusufu, and the Lord ordered them to atone with their souls." Yuu Watanabe argued loudly: "No! You were the one who cut their leashes, and you are the murderer." Agaha became even more angry, and with a wave of his hand, the wooden frame under Yu Watanabe's feet was taken away, and he was hung up with a "boom", holding the noose tightly with both hands, kicking his legs desperately, and his face suddenly flushed red , wanted to shout, but stuck out his tongue, and could only make a painful "ohhhhhhhhhh" sound. Everyone else was too scared to speak. But Sun Xueli yelled even louder, "It's your fault! Did you hear that? It's your fault! Put them down!" She said while beating Agaha with both fists. Agaha dodged left and right for a while, and finally got angry. His thick right hand reached out like lightning, and wrapped around Sun Xueli's wrists, "Come on! Bind them up!" Two Yusufu rushed up and tied Sun Xueli behind her back to a wooden post.Sun Xueli yelled fiercely: "I will kill you!" When Qin Yun saw Liu Hu's face, he was sometimes happy and sometimes worried. He was probably happy because he saw that Sun Xueli was safe and sound, but he was worried because he was afraid that Agaha would harm Sun Xueli.Qin Yun shook his head, he was not as innocent as Liu Hu, he felt worried, from the scene just now, it can be seen that Sun Xueli and Agaha have an extraordinary relationship, could she be a spy placed by Yu Sufu in the Dunhuang expedition team in China?But none of this mattered, for they were about to be hanged.Qin Yun sighed and looked up at the top wall. This is the cemetery of the Khotan exiles a thousand years ago. They were buried collectively on top of their heads, and a huge stone tablet was cast on the side to engrave the names of all the people, which shows that they are here. Those who died in the same period, otherwise they would not share a stone tablet.They must have built Nalanda, hid the real bones of the Buddha and the Buddhist scriptures, and thought they had completed their mission before passing away collectively here, and the monks in the place where the mad monk passed away are probably from this cemetery The builders, after burying their compatriots, also collectively came to the platform dug on the stone wall in the west of the lake, looked at the top wall in the center of the lake, and sat down peacefully.Then the top wall in the middle of the lake is the "other shore" that the mad monk said, and the so-called "Cihang Pudu" means that you can only get to this water area by taking a big boat. There is no such boat named "Cihang". That was the misunderstanding of Ito Sihara, Yuan Zhenhe, Qin Yun and others. As for the question of why all the scriptures in the forest of the Nalanda Buddha Pagoda were removed, everything is possible in the 1,000-year history. This is not something Qin Yun needs to delve into, he is already tired. Before he died, Qin Yun gave plausible explanations for all the mysteries in his heart, so that he could die without regret.He looked at everyone, Xiaobai was looking at Sun Xueli with concern at the moment; Sun Xueli's teary eyes were facing Liu Hu; Yuan Zhenhe was looking sadly at the stone tablet above his head in a daze; Kurosawaji was also staring at his toes dejectedly; He must have thought of his family in Japan; Yu Watanabe was still kicking, his tongue was getting longer and longer, and his face was swollen and purple.
