Chapter 53 Chapter 12 Millions of Army

Under the guidance of Miaomiao's "nonsense", I found a horrible secret room in the basement, which contained more than ten bottles of medicinal wine made from babies.When looking for the mechanism to open the door, it was discovered that this ancient secret room without electric lights was actually equipped with an infrared alarm.To make matters worse, Miaomiao couldn't be woken up by all means, and at this moment the revolving door was pushed open from the outside. Fortunately, the entrance to the secret room is a revolving door, so the situation is not too bad.If the outsider pushes the left side of the revolving door, he will definitely come in from the left. As long as we go out from the right when he comes in, he will not find us.So I quickly picked up Miaomiao, only touched the ground with my toes, and when there was a crack in the door on the right side that would allow us to pass, I immediately got out.

However, just when I thought we would not be in danger for a while, a bright light shone on my face, making it hard for me to open my eyes.A familiar voice sounded immediately: "It's you... Maybe it's the Lord's arrangement..." The eyes gradually began to adapt to the light, and a familiar figure appeared in front of them——Sister Yuan. "Is it you? Could it be that you killed the babies inside?" I couldn't believe that the merciful Sister Yuan would do such a terrible thing. "This matter has nothing to do with her, I did it alone." The revolving door turned again, and Dean Lu walked out slowly.

"Dean Lu, I hope you can explain to me what is going on." I said this arrogantly, but it was just a bluff.My hands are holding the sleeping Meow Miao. If I am attacked by the other party at this moment, I will be very passive. However, Dean Lu didn't seem to have the intention of attacking me, but just smiled helplessly at me: "If you don't mind, please follow me to the office, and I will give you an explanation." It is imperative to be on guard, if he asks me to come to his office there may be some conspiracy, but if he intends to harm me, there should be no other place more suitable than this basement that is called heaven and earth.And leaving this ghost place, at least the mobile phone can receive the signal, so it is convenient to ask for help from the outside world, so I followed him to the office.

As soon as I walked out of the basement, Miao Miao woke up and asked me why I was holding her with a blushing face.Alas, it seems that she has completely forgotten what happened just now, and I didn't bother to explain to her, so I put her down and told her to inform Zhen Zhen and Xue Qing to come over immediately, and went into the office alone with Dean Lu. "Managing an orphanage is not an easy task, especially in turbulent times..." Dean Lu sat at his desk, sighed, and then told me about the difficult years of the orphanage—— After Dean Smith returned to the embrace of the Father, I took over the post of dean. It was just after liberation and the society was still in turmoil.It was a difficult time, because the church was out of touch, and local government officials couldn't even feed themselves, let alone provide us with aid.

At that time, my primary problem was to feed nearly a hundred people in the courtyard. When I failed to seek help from the government, I begged from merchants who illegally sold grain and oil.At that time, food was rationed by the government, and almost all commercial activities were illegal. Who would be willing to help us if a businessman who took risks for profit?After hitting the wall again and again, I finally understood the truth that you must be a businessman to deal with businessmen. At that time, the only thing that could be sold in the courtyard was the dozens of cylinders of wine brewed by Dean Smith and stored in the secret room. If they were all sold, they might be exchanged for some food, but it was only a drop in the bucket. Week would be fine.So, I wondered if there was a way to make these wines more precious than gold.

Boss Li was one of the businessmen I knew at the time. He was already in his forties at the time. Because of working hard day and night for many years, his physical condition was very poor and he often needed to take supplements.However, in that era of shortage of supplies, although he obtained huge profits by illegally trading grain and oil, it was very difficult to get supplements, even a bowl of ginseng and chicken soup. After learning about this, I thought that if I could turn all the dozens of tanks of wine into Shi Quan Da Tonic wine, I should be able to exchange more food with Boss Li.However, in that era, it was difficult to get a medlar. How could there be so many medicinal materials for wine?

At this time, another problem arose in the courtyard, that is, something strange happened when the baby's corpse was buried. If the baby's corpse was left unattended in the open space behind the church, it would turn into bones, so no one dared to bury the corpse.These two are annoying problems, but they are very easy to solve at the same time - I decided to use these baby carcasses to make wine! I originally wanted to take these baby corpse wines to boast in front of Boss Li, and then exchange some more food with him.But I was afraid that he wouldn't dare to drink it, and just using baby corpses to make wine might not be able to blow the cowhide to the sky.Just at that time, a naughty ghost in the yard found that there were many big ants on the nearby hillside, so I asked him to catch as many as possible and make wine with the baby corpse.

After the wine had steeped for a few days, I filled a small bottle for Boss Li and told him it was the Ant King wine passed down earlier, in exchange for some food.I wanted to cheat a few bags of rice from this boss, and a few bags of flour from another boss, but I didn’t expect that about three to five days later, Boss Li came to see me in person.I thought he was here to trouble me, but unexpectedly he said that after drinking my ant king wine, his energy was much better than before, and he also said that he was willing to exchange more food with me. Since there are fish coming to the door, if you don't catch them, you won't catch them. I talked to him for a long time, telling him how magical the effect of this wine is, and how precious it is. Of course, I also asked him for more food.During the most difficult period in the orphanage, I survived with this kind of baby corpse wine that was mixed and mixed.

(Shuiyu: Another name for bastard, which means being taken advantage of in Cantonese dialect.) Later, I found that the efficacy of baby corpse wine was much better than I imagined. After drinking it for a period of time, Boss Li became younger than before.And maintaining the daily expenses of the orphanage requires a lot of money, and it is impossible to feed everyone by begging from others.So I added all the wine in the secret room into baby corpses and ants to make baby corpse wine, and sold it to rich businessmen such as Boss Li at a very high price... After listening to Dean Lu's narration, I couldn't help but have a question in my heart, and asked him tremblingly: "How old are you this year?"

He smiled lightly: "I was sent to the orphanage in 1930, and I am almost eighty years old now." Another old immortal, although he didn't directly admit that he had been drinking baby corpse wine for a long time, but his confession of his age was tantamount to confessing this fact.Desecrating a corpse, even using a baby's corpse to make wine, although it is an evil deed that both humans and gods hate, but this happened in the era of war and chaos. If we want to pursue legal responsibility now, I am afraid that there will be embarrassment that cannot be followed. The first constitution of our country was amended in 1954, what to do with the crimes committed before that, I honestly don't know.No wonder Boss Li said that although their transaction with Dean Lu was immoral, it was not illegal, because there is no law that can hold them accountable.Just like women raping men, because there is no relevant law, it is equivalent to legal.

Although it was not "illegal" to infuse infant corpse wine more than half a century ago, it is obviously inappropriate to store this terrible medicinal wine now. Once discovered, it will be confiscated and destroyed.Zhou Shaolong had been to the basement before he was killed, if he also found the baby corpse wine in the secret room... "You killed Zhou Shaolong! Because he discovered the secret of the secret room, you have to kill him to silence him!" I said this in a firm tone, but I didn't have enough confidence in my heart, because I had no evidence to testify against him. , I can't help him. However, after a long silence, he finally nodded slowly: "Yes, I killed him." He actually admitted it?I thought he would deny it, and I was thinking about how to exploit the loopholes in his words and make him confess, but I didn't expect him to confess without my extra effort. Maybe my surprised expression made him feel a little smile, he explained with a wry smile why he confessed so easily: "I know about Junlong, he is a good boy, he still has a long way to go in the future, and his mother has to take care of him , it’s not worth being a scapegoat for me, an old immortal.” "He knew you killed his brother?" "This is a matter between us. I don't think there is a need to explain it to the police. I hope you can allow me to keep a little privacy." He was quite frank, and he didn't want to say anything. "Then how did you kill the dead, and how did you turn his body into a skeleton?" This is the key point. He sighed and said: "He knows my secret, of course I can't let him go back alive. So as soon as he left the orphanage, I immediately chased him out. After catching up with him halfway, I tried my best I grabbed him by the neck and dragged him up the side hillside. When I dragged him halfway up the mountain, he had already passed away. I saw no one around, so I ignored his body and rushed back to the yard immediately. As for his body I don’t know why there are only skeletons left after nine days, but I may be able to give you some clues—there are many ants on that hillside, the kind of big ants I use to make wine.” Could it be the ants dismembering the corpse?Although this explanation makes people feel unbelievable, it is not impossible. A large number of carnivorous ants can indeed eat human corpses in a relatively short period of time, leaving only skeletons and hairs.The army ants (also known as legion ants) in the African jungle can eat the skeleton of an adult leopard within half a day. Of course, I am not referring to a single army ant, but a group of hundreds of thousands.Moreover, it would also explain why the clothing of the deceased was well worn on the skeleton. He answered most of my questions, but there was one more I couldn't figure out, which was the phosphorous powder on the dead man's clothes and the lavender residue on the bicycle.His explanation for this is: "He may not necessarily have entered the dead boy's hole on the day of the accident. The lavender may have been stained with it before, and he usually goes to play around there. As for the phosphorous powder, does his skeleton also have phosphorous powder ?" His statement seemed to make sense, but I always felt that there was something wrong, but I couldn't figure out what was wrong for a while, so I had to take him back first, and have another trial. When putting on handcuffs for him, a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, and I finally realized that something was wrong—the phosphor powder was sticking to the outside of the dead man's clothes, not the inside. At this time, I suddenly heard Miaomiao yelling for help outside the door. I rushed out with the dean together and found Miaomiao huddled behind Sister Yuan. As soon as she saw me, she pointed to the front and shouted: "She is a bad person." , they said she was the bad guy!" I looked in the direction she was pointing, and what I saw was Meilong.Meilong was confronting Sister Yuan, and the ground between the two was full of black things. After careful observation, it turned out that the ground was full of ants.However, these ants are several times larger than ordinary ants, and their color is so red that they look like army ants, but they are slightly different. As soon as Meilong saw me, she glared at me, and when she found Dean Lu who was handcuffed next to me, she even yelled at me: "I'm going to kill you!" I am afraid that there are nearly a million big ants rushing towards me like a tide. Seeing the army of ants rushing towards me, I suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu. Could it be that one of them attacked Zhenzhen and me in the basement?Before, we have been ignoring a detail, that is, the formic acid that corroded Zhenzhen's shoes to be riddled with holes may be the "saliva" of ants! (Formic acid, also known as formic acid, was originally extracted from ants.) Zhou Shaolong's body was probably gnawed into a skeleton by these ants. Perhaps the real cause of his death was being besieged by ants! Just when the army of millions of ants was about to climb up on me and gnaw me down to the bones, Dean Lu suddenly stood in front of me and shouted at Meilong: "Stop! You still have to add more for yourself!" Sin? Don’t you know how much we have paid and how much we have been hurt to protect you!” The Million Ant Army suddenly stopped advancing at the same time, and they all stayed in place, and their movements were more orderly than a well-trained army.Meilong stared at Dean Lu, Liangming burst into tears, and said softly: "I know, I know you are the best for me, so I can't let him take you away. I am very scared, without you by my side, I would be very scared. Didn't you promise me that you would stay by my side forever and protect me?" Crystal tears immediately fell like rain. "Meilong, promise me to live a good life, and let me take care of other things! When I'm not around, Sister Yuan will take care of you." Dean Lu also shed a manly tear. "No, I don't want you to leave me! Sister, she refuses to drink baby corpse wine, she will leave me sooner or later, and what I want is you to stay by my side forever! I want to kill them, as long as I kill them, I will If no one knows about us, no one will break us up!" Following Meilong's roar, the Million Ant Army advanced again, bypassing Dean Lu and launching an attack on me. What kind of spectacle is it to be surrounded by nearly a million giant ants?Maybe you can imagine it: the ant army covered the sky like a flood, and I almost didn't even have a place to stand.Want to escape?The floor of the entire corridor is covered with black ants, and if a shoe falls on that position, a large area can be trampled to death. I can't escape, I can only pray to God to save me. Although I am not a Christian, I also hope that the Almighty Heavenly Father will show mercy.But the sharp pain from my calf let me know that this hope is too slim...
