Chapter 10 Chapter 9 Human Skin

Yuan Sen gave Ai Kailamu a thumbs up, and suddenly remembered that Yinzhu was looking for something from him in the illusion, so he told the two of them what he saw in the dream. Neither Akailam nor Kangbasa expressed surprise. They were lured to commit suicide after being bewitched by the gas released by the skinny yin pig, and they were not asked for anything. Ai Kaila said awkwardly: "Could it be that piece of leather with the map written on it?" This underground space is unbelievably large. Yuan Sen and his party walked northward for four hours, but found nothing except huge rock pits everywhere.During these four hours, they did not receive a call from the third communication unit, and the ghostly female voice did not borrow their walkie-talkie to talk to them.

The three of them sat down next to a big rock for a short rest, ate some compressed food, and then began to close their eyes and rest their minds.Along the way, although the underground space is vast and unusually wide, there is no need to travel through mountains and rivers, but there are countless pits on the ground, and there are huge rocks falling from it everywhere. The man snored quickly. Although the Huoyan Mountain is extremely dry, but in this underground space, the further you go forward, the more humid it will be. In the place where they rest, if you grab the dirt and touch it, your hands will be wet.After sitting for a while, Yuan Sen felt cold, so he got up and found some dead trees growing between the rocks, and built a bonfire on the ground.

While adding branches to the fire, he speculated about the mysterious phone call from Professor Yang Jian to Dr. Tian.He found it very strange. Given their friendship, if Professor Yang Jian called Dr. Tian, ​​he should have called him too.However, judging from Professor Yang Jian's extremely short call for help, the situation at that time must have been very critical, and another reason why he sought Dr. Tian may be due to Dr. Tian's strong support from the military and the government.In other words, the troubles he encountered had to be resolved with great strength. He didn't look for Yuan Sen, probably because Yuan Sen was not strong enough.

As Yuan Sen thought about it, the aches and numbness in his body gradually increased. He felt that his hands and feet were too heavy to use his strength, and his whole body became stiff. Under the action of his center of gravity, his body was leaning against the big rock, and his head was also heavy. As if about to fall, a deep sleepiness hit him, and he was completely powerless to resist. Yuan Sen gently closed his eyes. In his hazy consciousness, he seemed to see a black figure walking towards him in front of him.He tried to open his eyes, but the pressure of exhaustion made him completely unable to resist. No matter how hard he tried, those eyelids could not be opened.

He saw that the shadow was getting closer and closer to the bonfire. Standing by the fire, the shadow looked like a person, but he couldn't see the person's appearance clearly. In his vague consciousness, he could only feel the It was a man, his body was plated with fiery red light. Yuan Sen was horrified, feeling that this matter was extremely strange.Undoubtedly, the person in front of him could not be Kang Basa or Ai Kailam, and he seemed to be from a military background, so who could this inexplicable person be?Yuan Sen tried to wake up Kang Basa and Ai Kailamu, but found that he couldn't make any sound at all.

The man squatted down slowly in front of Yuan Sen. Yuan Sen could feel the breath of the man, and suddenly his whole body was chilly. He only felt that every time the man took a step closer to him, the danger would increase. Yuan Sen has been extraordinarily courageous since he was a child. He grew up in the countryside, climbing trees to dig out bird nests, going down rivers to catch water snakes, and rushing to do any dangerous and exciting things.Following Professor Yang Jian's archaeological expedition, I have seen a lot of weird and weird things, but the feeling now is really beyond words, I just feel too weird, the person in front of me is probably not a living person.

The man crouched in front of Yuan Sen and brought his face closer.Yuan Sen finally saw his face clearly through the light in his eyes.It was an extremely wretched face, with a pair of bald eyebrows, two small eyes like soybeans, the cheeks were deeply sunken, and half an inch of flesh could not be seen, and the lips were covered with a sparse mustache. A dark red color caused by too much. Yuan Sen felt chills in his heart, and kept saying to himself, he is not human, he is definitely not human.But at the moment, his hands and feet are weak, and he wants to call out to Kangbasa and Akailamu, but he can't make a sound. He just feels that he is a piece of meat waiting to be cut in the hands of this skinny man, and he doesn't know how this man will deal with him.

The man's face stopped only a few inches away from Yuan Sen, staring into his eyes, showing a half-smile expression, Yuan Sen immediately thought of the one-eyed blue sheep that seemed to have gone away.This person's expression is completely different from the one-eyed Qingyang's smile, but the evil spirit that comes out of his bones is generally the same. Yuan Sen was stared at by that man, and he kept thinking, "Who are you? Who are you?" The man didn't speak, just stared into Yuan Sen's eyes, as if he had seen through the thoughts in his heart, the smile on his face became wider and wider, as if he had set a huge trap for Yuan Sen, just waiting for him to slip in Same.

Just when Yuan Sen was on the verge of despair, he heard a voice from the bottom of his heart saying: "You have killed many of my companions." Yuan Sen immediately understood that the person in front of him was the illusion of those shady pigs who were blown to death by them. He came to claim his life. It seems that he probably won't survive this time, and he will be caught by this ghost.And judging from his tone, especially emphasizing "you", I am afraid that Kang Basa and Ai Kailamu will not be spared. Just as he was thinking about it, he heard the voice in his heart say: "You also took something you shouldn't have taken, and now I want to take it back, and you have to give it back to me."

Yuan Sen was puzzled, they went down to the ground and brought a whole set of advanced equipment, how could they not take these dirty things by mistake?Is there anything worth taking for Yinzhu? Just when he was puzzled, he suddenly heard Ai Kailam shout loudly: "You bastard, you dare to attack me." Yuan Sen suddenly felt that something was stuffed under his nose, and he couldn't help but relax his tense nerves.As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a tall, skinny yin pig lying in front of him. Ekailam pulled out a bloody dagger from its back, and wiped the blood on the yin pig's hair.

Kangbasa also got up from the ground, staring blankly at Yuan Sen and Ai Kailamu. Yuan Sen stood up, and the cloth under his nose slipped and fell to the ground.Ai Kailam hurriedly picked up the cloth, and said to Yuan Sen: "Brother Yuan, how can I throw away this treasure casually? This is made of rosewood and Buddha fragrance. It is the most effective in warding off evil spirits and detoxification. Just now, I just picked up our three pieces with this thing." Life." Yuan Sen approached the shady pig, smelling a stinking stench, he couldn't help but took three steps back. Ai Kaila said: "The ability of this beast to confuse people is the skill of farting. At first, this breath is colorless and odorless. When you fall down, the smell it emits is so strong that people can't control themselves at all. , was at the mercy of this beast. Fortunately, I brought this evil spirit with me, otherwise the three of us would have to hang here today." Yuan Sen gave Ai Kailamu a thumbs up, and suddenly remembered that Yinzhu was looking for something from him in the illusion, so he told the two of them what he saw in the dream. Neither Akailam nor Kangbasa expressed surprise. They were lured to commit suicide after being bewitched by the gas released by the skinny yin pig, and they were not asked for anything. Ai Kaila said awkwardly: "Could it be that piece of leather with the map written on it?" When Yuan Sen heard this, he immediately came to his senses.When they were besieged by Yinzhu, Yuan Sen hastily stuffed the map into his backpack. The situation was extremely critical at that time, and he had no time to think about it. According to news, Professor Yang Jian is not dead.They were all focused on this problem, and naturally they forgot about that strange map. They didn't expect that map to be very important to Yinzhu, so they followed it for four hours to get it back. Yuan Sen took out the map and spread it on the ground. Under the light of the headlamp, the human skin map glowed with a dark yellow layer, which looked quite old and simple.The dark yellow human skin against the weird three-eyed skull in the middle made people feel that something was wrong. There must be a big weirdness hidden in the human skin map, but as for what the weirdness was, the three of them were at a loss as to what to do. no clues. Ai Kaila said awkwardly: "Brother Yuan, look, this human skin picture is strange, but the blame lies in a picture that was artificially pasted on the belly of the yin pig, why did it attract the yin pig to go to great lengths to get it back? This kind of animal is indeed very cunning, but it’s not so psychic that it covets the secrets in the human skin picture. Do you want to compete with others? His grandma, I didn’t see the shadow of the treasure when I went to the ground. When I arrived, I felt that there was an evil spirit in the ground, which is really not a good omen.” Yuan Sen said: "We can't guess it out of thin air. Why don't we look for clues on the human skin map first, maybe we can connect these things together." The human skin picture was lying on the ground, and the three of them checked it repeatedly, but they didn't find anything of value except the three-eyed skull on it.Neither the treasure map nor the claims of attracting evil pigs to chase after them can be verified. Ai Kaila said: "Brother Yuan, I think the shape of this skeleton is very similar to a certain place in this underground space, and this place is where Qie Liren hides her treasure. Do you think it is possible?" Yuan Sen frowned and said, "You can only say that this is speculation without any basis." Ai Kaila said awkwardly: "Brother Yuan, you can't say that. You said that this beautiful civilization was more than a thousand years ago. In ancient times, no one knew a thing or two. Let's go down to explore the secrets. Isn't it just blind people and elephants? You have to guess and do it at the same time." no?" Yuan Sen was waiting to answer, when Kang Basa, who was looking carefully at the human skin map, suddenly said, "Come and take a look, there is something wrong with this picture." Yuan Sen and Ai Kailamu hurriedly turned their heads, and saw that Kangbasa was holding the human skin picture in one hand, and was smearing the picture with his other hand. When people saw it, the two of them were also taken aback.Ai Kailam couldn't help shouting: "His grandma's, the ancients are not kind, and such a mysterious picture is also a fake?" Yuan Sen had no time to argue with Ai Kaila. He dipped his finger at the position of the third eye on the picture, sniffed it under his nose, and said, "It's ink." Ai Kaila didn't hear the words, so he also dipped it a few times, it was indeed black ink.Leaving aside whether Qiliren used ink more than a thousand years ago, the pictures drawn in ink are pasted on the belly of the Yin pig. They are running around and walking like flying. In less than a year, those ink marks are bound to be wiped out. Wipe it clean, how can they see it? Yuan Sen pulled the Human Pitu away again, and with a flashlight, a mass of black ink was lit up on the back of the third eye, while the other parts were in a translucent turbid state, and line-shaped knife marks could be seen.Obviously, the third eye was smeared on by someone, and it didn't take too long. No wonder they saw that the hair on the abdomen of the pussy pig was extremely short, and it turned out to be shaved off. That being said, someone must have entered this underground space before them.Who could this person be?Yuan Sen couldn't help but wonder, could it be Professor Yang Jian? If Professor Yang Jian did all of this, then why did he leave the third eye on the human skin picture on the belly of the yin pig? Professor Yang Jian made a rescue call to Dr. Tian, ​​waiting for Dr. Tian to send someone into the underground space, but the underground space is too large, so he left this mark on Yinzhu's body to mark his exact location? When Yuan Sen thought of this, he felt something was wrong.In the vast underground space, these yin pigs come and go like the wind, and it is difficult to catch them, not to mention that the group of yin pigs is so large. Among the tens of thousands of yin pigs, how can Professor Yang Jian ensure which one is caught by him? Will the Yin pig with a skull eye painted be discovered by Dr. Tian's people? However, all of this is just Yuan Sen's guess, because Professor Yang Jian may have come to the underground space, or someone else may have come in.What they can be sure of now is that this skeleton skin picture has a very important value. The third skull eye and the yin pig's pursuit can all illustrate this point. Yuan Sen briefly told Ai Kailam and Kang Basa about his conjecture, and both of them agreed with Yuan Sen's conjecture that the person who left the ink mark was probably Professor Yang Jian. The reason why the third eye is drawn on the picture is unknown, but it must be quite weird.
