Chapter 9 Chapter 9 Gahai Ancient Tomb

The picture stopped abruptly, he took a deep breath and shook his head. Xiao Chen asked: "Are you okay?" Qu Siqi forced a smile: "It's okay, I had some tinnitus just now, maybe it's because I suddenly saw so many 'abnormal human beings', and my spirit couldn't adapt. Can I take a break?" Xiao Chen looked him up and down carefully, and said to a young researcher who was sorting out documents: "Cheng Bi, send him to the lounge." The young researcher agreed and led the two of them out. Dr. Li and Xiao Chen looked at their backs with complicated eyes.

"Tell me, are they really good at it?" Xiao Chen asked. "It says he's a 'prophet', maybe he already knows something." "So, we have to act quickly." Xiao Chen smiled calmly, and Dr. Li glanced at her and said, "Be careful, don't show your feet." "I'm doing business, what else are you worried about?" Cheng Bi opened a door. The room was small, with only a bed and a table, and it looked like a prison. "Just rest here, do you want something to drink?" "No need." Qu Siqi said, "I'll be fine after lying down for a while."

Cheng Bi pointed to the button on the bedside: "It's best not to wander around, both of you, if you need anything, press this to call me." After he left, Qu Siqi looked outside the door vigilantly, and said in a low voice, "I think there's something wrong here." "what have you found?" Qu Siqi shook his head: "I just saw some strange pictures. It's hard to say what will happen now. But I always feel that the atmosphere here is very weird." Before the words were finished, the alarm bell rang suddenly, the two were shocked, and hurriedly opened the door to come out. The researchers also seemed to be confused, and looked around suspiciously.Cheng Bi ran over and said, "Don't panic, it should be just a fire drill."

"Fire drills?" Qu Siqi said, "This research center only locks up dangerous human beings. It's not appropriate to have a fire drill from time to time. If something really happens, wouldn't it be 'Wolf is coming'?" "It's not good." Someone shouted, "That undead monster has escaped." Cheng Bi's expression suddenly changed. "What undead monster?" Bai Xiaozhou asked.Cheng Bi's face was gloomy, and he took the two of them to a safe place, and said as he walked, "Three years ago, an archaeological team found an ancient tomb around Qinghai Lake. It is said to be the noble tomb of the ancient city Gahai. After nine After ten days of excavation, they dug up a corpse in the ancient tomb. The corpse did not rot. It looked like a mummy. The muscles of the whole body were dry and hard, but they did not shrink. Its figure was even taller than ordinary people. The Qinghai Lake area does not have the conditions for the formation of mummified corpses. They thought they had dug a miracle, sent the news to the research institute they belonged to, and then lost contact. The research institute sent another archaeological team, escorted by soldiers In the cemetery, it was discovered that the archaeologists had all died tragically, and the murderer was the mummy. He took his burial object - a bronze halberd from the ninth century BC, and brutally killed everyone he saw. Follow At the cost of seven people, the army captured him and sent him to our center. We found that he didn't really die, and his cells could regenerate continuously, in other words, he was immortal."

"Immortality?" Bai Xiaozhou was taken aback, remembering a case he had experienced not long ago, a crazy professor tried to use an ancient alchemy furnace to refine the elixir of resurrection, but he failed. "In a sense, yes." Cheng Bi grimaced, "But he doesn't have emotions and desires, he only knows how to kill people. If he looks like this forever, he might as well be dead." Bai Xiaozhou seemed to have thought of something, and asked, "Is the legendary kingdom of Queen Mother of the West located around Qinghai Lake?" Cheng Bi was taken aback: "What do you mean?"

"It is said that the Queen Mother of the West possesses the medicine of immortality. Could it be that the mummy took the medicine of immortality?" "That's not known, but it's a topic worthy of research. But that mummy is indeed a treasure. If we can discover the secret of cells' continuous repair and growth, we may be able to crack the code of immortality." Cheng Bi nodded, looking around in the research room. The doors of the room have been automatically locked, locking the researchers and the research subjects inside. The glass is tempered glass, and the door is an iron door several inches thick. It is more difficult to break into the room.

"Aren't we going to the research room of 'piece'?" Qu Siqi asked. "In the event of a major accident in which the research subjects escape, all the research rooms will automatically lock the doors. There is a refuge room at the end of the corridor, and we have to hide there." The sound of gunfire like firecrackers came from behind, which made people feel hairy, just like the plot in an American horror movie.Moreover, the voice was gradually approaching. There was a scream, and a fully armed security guard flew over and landed at Bai Xiaozhou's feet.Bai Xiaozhou rushed to help him, but found that he had been stabbed with a big hole in his chest, and blood gushed out.

"Stop the bleeding!" Bai Xiaozhou took off his coat and covered his wound. The injured security guard grabbed her hand and said with the last bit of strength, "Run!" The sound of heavy footsteps and screams continued, and Cheng Bi was shocked: "Oops, he's coming, let's go!" Qu Siqi hurriedly pulled up the white boat, and the three of them ran towards the end of the corridor. Seeing that the shelter was in front of them, many people had already hidden inside.Just when they were about to rush in, the faces of the people in the room changed, they stared straight behind them, their faces were pale, and they closed the door without thinking.

Due to inertia, the three of them all fell on the glass door.The refuge room was semicircular, with glass on three sides and a steel wall on one side. The three of them slammed on the glass wall, asking the people inside to open the door. The people in the room were terrified and retreated to the wall, speechless. Bai Xiaozhou felt his back getting cold, turned his head slowly, and saw a tall man walking towards him. The man's skin was dry, but his muscles were knotted. There was no expression on his face like tree bark, but he could vaguely see that he had once been heroic. Mark of. He held a security guard in his left hand, to be precise, it was half of a security guard, because the lower body of the security guard had been cut off and thrown somewhere, and the blood stained the white coat worn by the mummy almost to a red coat .In his right hand, he held a bronze halberd, which was stained with blood and hung with some objects that resembled human flesh tissue.

Simply a devil! Cheng Bi leaned against the glass wall, trembling with fright, almost peed his pants.Qu Siqi instinctively touched his sword, but found nothing. Abnormal Human Research Center is not allowed to carry any weapons. It's up to me.Bai Xiaozhou gritted his teeth, took off the glove on his right hand, and ran straight towards the mummy.Qu Siqi was taken aback: "Xiaozhou, are you crazy?!" Sometimes, even she herself thinks she is crazy. The mummy threw the security guard in his hand, danced the halberd in the air, and stabbed at Bai Xiaozhou with a thunderous force.The reckless Bai Xiaozhou was stunned, she didn't expect that the strength and martial arts of this mummy was so strong that she couldn't dodge it at all.

Without any chance, she could only watch the halberd stabbing towards her chest. At this moment, the halberd suddenly stopped in front of her chest, but the force it brought was still like a heavy hammer hitting her chest, she groaned and fell backwards. Cheng Bi rushed up to catch her: "Miss Bai, are you alright?" Bai Xiaozhou's chest was in severe pain. She touched it lightly with her hand, and it must have broken one or two ribs. "I'm fine." She gritted her teeth and looked up at the mummy, who was slowly retracting the halberd, staring at the place where Bai Xiaozhou was standing just now.Bai Xiaozhou seemed to have thought of something, turned his head sideways, and saw Qu Siqi clenched his fists, staring at his eyes tightly, with a dense layer of cold sweat on his forehead. Bai Xiaozhou suddenly remembered that Teacher Long once said that Si Qi has a strong spiritual power, and his supernatural power is not just a prophet, he can even invade the other party's consciousness and create an illusion, but doing so will cause a heavy mental burden , and he can't use his abilities freely. Could it be that the crisis just now made him discover the secret hidden deep in his body? Bai Xiaozhou gritted her teeth and stood up enduring the severe pain. This is a precious opportunity that Qu Siqi won for her, and she must not miss it!This time she ran faster, and she never even knew that she could run so fast, and she fell in front of the mummy in just a few seconds.The mummy didn't seem to be able to see her, but he could sense someone approaching, and waved the halberd again, but he seemed to be hesitating and refused to cut it down. Bai Xiaozhou took the opportunity to grab the arm of the mummy, and the capillaries on the five fingers were filled with staggered black.The mummy let out a roar and waved her away. From the place where she grabbed her body, pustules began to grow in the muscles, rotting inch by inch.He threw the halberd to the ground, propping up his body, crumbling. At this time, a large number of armed security guards arrived and shot several powerful anesthetics at the mummy's head.The mummy finally couldn't hold on anymore and collapsed like a mountain. Bai Xiaozhou and Qu Siqi finally breathed a sigh of relief, and fell to the ground, their bones seemed to be falling apart. "Little sister, are you okay?" The security guards surrounded him, and Bai Xiaozhou said with a sad face, "I need procaine, give me a shot, I'm dying of pain." Procaine is an analgesic. When treating a broken rib, it needs to be injected into the lower edge of the fractured rib to seal the pain point. The mummy was dragged down, Bai Xiaozhou glanced at it, the abscess and carrion on the mummy had begun to heal slowly, it seemed that what Cheng Bi said was right, his cells could repair and regenerate automatically. If this thing is used in cosmetics, it is simply the gospel for women who love beauty. After breaking the seal, Bai Xiaozhou was carried to the medical room for treatment. Qu Siqi wanted to follow, but suddenly thought of something, turned and ran to Xiao Chen's laboratory.The tempered glass door can only be opened from the inside. At this time, the laboratory is in a mess, the egg on the table has been broken, and as he saw in his hallucination, the contents inside have disappeared. His heart was cold. Could it be that Xiao Chen really did it?What is her purpose? "Oh my God!" Cheng Bi, who came later, hugged his head, his face pale, "'piece' hatched, disappeared, it's over, everything is over." At this time, Qu Siqi seemed to have discovered something: "Look, is there a person lying under the table?" Cheng Bi took a closer look, and sure enough, he found a hand stretched out from behind the table, and it didn't move. It was a female hand. The backs of the two felt cold for a while, and Qu Siqi said anxiously: "How can I open the door lock?" "Dr. Li has a key card." Cheng Bi said, "I'll go find him." After about a few minutes, he came with Dr. Li and several security guards.Dr. Li's complexion was not good, he took out the card from his arms, opened the door, everyone went in, and saw Xiao Chen lying behind the table with a very hideous face, as if they had seen the most terrifying and unbelievable scene in the world. Dr. Li touched her carotid artery and shook his head solemnly.Qu Siqi felt that Xiao Chen's chest was a little strange, and was about to touch it, but Dr. Li said: "Don't move, be careful." After that, he picked up a folder, and slowly swept Xiao Chen's clothes up, exposing her chest. Everyone took a breath, and there was a deep purple five-fingerprint on her chest, but that fingerprint was very strange, not like a human being, but rather some kind of large carnivore. "Could it be that the person who attacked Xiao Chen was not a human being?" Qu Siqi said to himself, Dr. Li glanced at him and said, "Not necessarily, maybe it was a human being with beast claws." Qu Siqi originally wanted to say, is that still a human being?But thinking that this is a research center for abnormal human beings, I feel relieved. "Is there such a person in the center?" "No." Dr. Li took the baton from the security guard and pressed on the five fingerprints. The muscles and skin immediately collapsed. "Almost all the ribs were broken. This palm killed her." It sounded like a martial arts novel, Qu Siqi looked up and said, "Dr. Li, there should be a camera in this laboratory, right?" Dr. Li stared at the corpse for a while with complicated eyes, and then said to Cheng Bi, "Send her to the forensic department for an autopsy, and I want a detailed report." After finishing speaking, he said to Qu Siqi, "Come with me. " Qu Siqi was brought into the security department by him. There are many screens here, and each screen reflects the situation in a certain laboratory. It can be said that everything is under control. "The camera in the corridor was broken last night, and we haven't had time to repair it because of insufficient manpower." The security guard on duty said, "So there is only indoor video." The doctor asked him to call up the video at that time. Before the alarm sounded, Xiao Chen had been doing research, and there was nothing strange about it.The alarm sounded, she looked in surprise, and was about to go out, but the glass door slammed shut. She tried to unlock the door, but failed, so she had to go back to the table and sit down, pick up the phone, as if she wanted to call someone.But before the call was dialed, she suddenly raised her head and looked outside the glass door. There seemed to be someone outside the door, but the angle of the camera could not capture that person.Xiao Chen knew that person, raised her head and gestured to him, then walked to the door, as soon as she got close to the glass, she flew up, knocked over the egg shelf, fell behind the table, struggled a few times Down, don't move. The egg rolled down beside her, whirled around in a circle, and then the screen turned into a blinding snowflake. The whole video is like a horror movie, but horribly real. The two stood silently in front of the computer, and the atmosphere became even more depressing.After a long time, Qu Siqi said: "Someone slapped her through the glass door and killed her. Who on earth is capable of hunting cattle across mountains? I always thought it was just a plot in a martial arts novel." "There is no such person in our center." Dr. Li paused and said, "Unless someone concealed his skills, but how did this person steal the 'piece'? After the door is locked, even if the crisis is over, The computer automatically lifts the restriction, and it can only be opened from the inside. If you want to open it from the outside, you need a key card, and there are only two key cards, one on Xiao Chen's body and one on me." Qu Siqi raised his head to look at him, with a trace of suspicion in his eyes, Dr. Li frowned and said, "Why, you suspect that I killed her?" Qu Siqi did not deny it, but changed the subject: "Doctor, don't you find it strange? From the video Let’s see, Dr. Xiao knocked over the egg shelf, why did the shelf and the eggshells sit on the table when we came in? Thieves wouldn’t do such a thing, would they?” At this moment, the security guard suddenly called out, "Doctor, come and see this." The two quickly surrounded them, and the security guard pointed to the screen and said, "This is the image recorded by the camera of Laboratory No. 42 after the crisis was resolved. Look here." He pointed to the glass door in the picture, just as someone came from Quickly walk through the door. It was a very familiar woman. Xiao Chen. "Impossible!" Dr. Li exclaimed, "Based on the time, Xiao Chen is already dead at this time." Qu Siqi felt a coolness creeping up his spine like a snake, and the dead naturally couldn't get up and walk around—er, that mummy can't be regarded as a dead person—then, this woman who looks exactly like Xiao Chen and Who is it? "Murderer!" He and Dr. Li said in unison, someone killed Xiao Chen, and then pretended to be Xiao Chen, and then he could walk out from the main entrance with "pieces" swaggeringly. Dr. Li immediately took out the walkie-talkie: "Security Section Chief, block all exits immediately, and this fake Xiao Chen must not be allowed to escape." Whereabouts, notify me immediately." Qu Siqi looked up at the hive-like screen, thinking of the phantom he saw, could the person in the phantom be the fake Xiao Chen? Bai Xiaozhou was lying on the bed. Although her chest was closed, her chest still hurt like it was about to burst. A young and beautiful nurse gave her a drip. Looking down at her right hand, she instinctively retracted her hand into the quilt: "Did I scare you?" The nurse smiled and said, "The patients here are all abnormal human beings, and you are considered normal." Before the words finished, the siren sounded again, and Bai Xiaozhou was startled: "Who escaped again?" "You stay on the bed and don't move. I'll go out and have a look." The nurse walked out with the door ajar. This time, the system didn't directly lock the door, so she must not be a powerful person. There were soft footsteps outside the door, did the nurse come back?Bai Xiaozhou tried his best to raise his head, listening to the footsteps getting closer and closer, until a figure appeared by the door. "Dr. Xiao Chen?" Bai Xiaozhou said, "Why are you here?" With a gloomy face, Xiao Chen slowly came to sit beside her and stared at her blankly without saying a word. "Doctor?" Bai Xiaozhou felt something was wrong, and asked tentatively, Xiao Chen still didn't speak, his eyes were cold, as if he was looking at a corpse. Bai Xiaozhou's whole body was icy cold, the person in front of her gave her a completely different feeling from Xiao Chen before, like a... a monster. "Dr. Li." Qu Siqi stopped him, "Is there something you are hiding from me?" Dr. Li looked back at him: "Why do you ask that?" Qu Siqi said confidently, "Intuition." Dr. Li smiled instead of anger. "People with the ability to predict are really different." He motioned everyone in the room to go out, "We received a tip last night that intelligence personnel from other countries had sneaked into our research center and wanted to steal 'pieces' .” Qu Siqi naturally understood the truth, stole the "pieces" and could not find a way to resolve the crisis, so he would naturally fall into disaster in China.In recent years, China has grown stronger and stronger, and many countries can't sit still. "About this spy, do you have any clues?" Dr. Lee shook his head. "We are still investigating, but this fake Xiao Chen must be related to spies." He paused, looked at Qu Siqi and said, "Why don't you use your predictive ability to find out who this person is?" Qu Siqi smiled wryly and said: "Of course I am willing to help, but I can't do it for a while, so I'm afraid I can't help you much." Dr. Li thought for a while: "Generally, a person with predictive ability can trigger his ability when he comes into contact with a related object. How about giving it a try?" "You can try it." Qu Siqi became interested, "What object?" "Xiao Chen's body." When Qu Siqi came to Xiao Chen's corpse, he shivered. It's not that he had never seen a corpse before, he had seen it before, but this corpse with no external injuries was so frightening for some reason, he tensed up. Tightening the collar, stretched out his hand, and gently placed it on the forehead of the corpse. quiet. After a long time, Dr. Li asked, "How is it?" Qu Siqi shook his head, and Dr. Li refused to give up: "Try to touch the palm marks on her body." Qu Siqi turned his head to look at the blue-purple palm marks on her body, and the hairs all over his body stood on end. The moment he touched the palm marks, several pictures suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. Xiao Chen raised his head and saw a person standing outside the glass door waving to her. She smiled and walked over happily, but was hit by that person's palm on the glass door. The glass door was not damaged, but she flew away. stand up.The moment she landed, the camera turned to the person outside the door, fully revealing the face of the person outside the door. Qu Siqi withdrew his hand as if he had been scorched, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Dr. Li couldn't wait to ask: "How is it?" "I saw that person." His face was gloomy, his brows were deeply furrowed, "it's Cheng Bi." Dr. Li's face changed suddenly, and he asked the security chief beside him, "Where is Cheng Bi?" "I haven't seen him since the mummy incident on the 42nd." "Go and find him, we must find him!" Qu Siqi stared at the palm marks on the corpse, and was silent for a long time. He seemed to suddenly recall something and shouted: "No, the boat is in danger!"
