Chapter 6 Confidence (Updated 1)
Wu Chen seemed to have triggered a domino, discovering corpses one by one. Only on the left side of the mound, more than a dozen corpses were found, with the same death appearance: the face He was in a state of panic, his chest and abdomen were dry, as if his internal organs had been hollowed out.
There is no body on the back of the mound.
When Wu Chen turned to the right side of the mound, there were more than a dozen corpses. Their death conditions were the same as those on the left. There were also several corpses with masks with ghost faces. Wu Chen lifted up the masks. , is a face covered with maggots, only a little bit of rotten flesh is left, and the bones are now white.
Wu Chen stood up and rubbed his hands on his clothes. Too many unintelligible questions flashed through his mind. He looked at the mound again, unable to see anything clearly in the darkness. , he checked most of the corpses, and there were no traces of dirt or dust on the corpse's fingers. Even so, Wu Chen didn't want to touch the mounds of dirt. It was so weird! Since Chen Zhong only let him look, he would just take a closer look.
Wu Chen planned to circle around the mound again. The last time he was looking at the corpse, this time he was looking at the mound.
Gu You was waiting on the spot and stood up in surprise. Since Wu Chen was alive, then he...
Just when he was hesitating whether to go in and take a look, he suddenly turned sideways. The long sword in his hand was swung behind him, and the man in black with a grimace disappeared instantly.
Gu You quickly looked in the direction of Wu Chen. Sure enough, a man in black flew up and down to the mound. Gu You wanted to remind Wu Chen, but the man in black attacked him again behind him. , Gu You was extremely angry, turned around and stabbed out with his sword, and rushed forward with his body. Without giving the man in black a chance to dodge, a cold light flashed in his hand, and the man in black fell to the ground neatly.
Gu You immediately turned around and returned to where he was. He only glanced in the direction of Wu Chen and then stepped forward. After only two steps, he stopped again. He saw that only Wu Chen was standing inside. One person in the morning.
Gu You breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't know whether it was because he saw Wu Chen was still alive, or because he was glad that he didn't go in rashly.
Wu Chen stood next to the mound, with the body of the man in black at his feet.
Wu Chen took a deep breath. The man in black in front of him was just a few seconds away from stabbing Wu Chen with the sword in his hand. Wu Chen didn't react at all. Why did a living person suddenly appear? The man in black He fell down, and then he watched with his own eyes the chest and abdomen of the man in black slowly collapse...< br>
Wu Chen touched his chest. He felt that his heart was about to jump out just now. The shaking in the dark scared him and made him feel a little uncomfortable. Wu Chen sighed and slowly walked towards Gu You. , and then imitated Gu You's gesture and gestured towards Gu You, meaning: Let's go.
Gu You actually nodded. The two of them only walked out a few steps. Gu You suddenly pulled Wu Chen behind him. Following Wu Chen, he saw several grimaces appearing out of nowhere. The man in black came straight towards him with his sword, but was blocked by Gu You.
There was only the sound of swords clashing. Wu Chen saw the previous scene. The fight in front of him seemed to have no impact on him. He stared blankly at Gu You, who was fighting against many enemies. The man in black with a grimace was obviously anxious to kill. Wu Chen tried his best to break through Gu You's defense line, but he couldn't get through. During this period, no one spoke, until Gu You killed all of them, and the sound of insects started again.
......
When I returned to the house, only Chen Zhong's room still had a faint candlelight.
Gu You asked Wu Chen to wait outside the house, and he went in first to report.
Wu Chen stood for a while, and when no one called him in, he thought about where to sit and take a rest. His previous experience made his legs weak.
Wu Chen turned his head and looked around, and suddenly heard movement behind him. Wu Chen was excited and turned around immediately. He saw the big head hidden behind the wooden pillars of the corridor, with only half of his face exposed, waving to him.
Wu Chen quickly walked over and whispered: "You go back to the house first, I will go back in a while."
The big head touched Wu Chen's face, then his hands, and then something Without saying anything, he turned around and left.
Wu Chen looked at Big Tou’s back and frowned, then returned to the door and waited.
Soon, Gu You came out and asked him to go in, but he did not follow him.
Wu Chen walked into the house. Chen Zhong did not place a screen in front of the bed this time, but still leaned on the bench. He pointed to the armchair in front of the bed and said, "Sit down and tell me what you saw tonight." .”
“Can you please let me clean my hands first?” Wu Chen asked politely.
Chen Zhong raised his hand, and a little eunuch hidden in the darkness walked out of the door. He quickly came in with a basin of water and a handkerchief on his arm.
Wu Chen glanced at the little eunuch a few times while cleaning his hands. After wiping his hands with a handkerchief, he walked straight to the armchair and sat down, asking: "Can you have a drink of water first?"
Chen Zhong raised his hand, and another young eunuch stepped forward to serve Wu Chen a cup of tea.
Wu Chen looked at the young eunuch again, turned to ask Chen Zhong: "Didn't you say they are all dead?"
Chen Zhong was stunned for a moment, frowned slightly, and his face was a little gloomy.
Wu Chen raised the tea bowl, tested the temperature, drank it all, put down the cup and said, "One more cup."
Chen Zhong frowned again.
The little eunuch bowed aside and did not move.
Chen Zhong raised his hand, and the young eunuch stepped back to serve tea.
Chen Zhong snorted and said, "You are quite brave."
Wu Chen wiped his mouth and said, "I am the only one who can get in and out alive, so naturally I am brave. "
"How did you know that you were the only one allowed to enter?"
"Everyone who entered was dead, Gu You didn't dare to enter."
"What did you see?"
Chen Zhong's tone was still gloomy, but his speaking speed was accidentally a little faster.
Wu Chen smiled and said:
"I thought you left me to let me die in another way, and you wanted to behave better. Maybe you were reluctant to let me die. , how could I know you just wanted me to live a little longer? It’s only one day...Thank you for standing up and shouting to save your life."
Chen Zhong looked at Wu Chen carefully through the weak candlelight. There is really no one in this world except the official family. How dare people speak like this in front of him.
"You don't have to look at me like this. Since I'm going to die, you should complain a little bit, right?"
"But you are alive."
"Yes, that place, only I saw thirty corpses There are many people, except for you, who are from the Ghost Mandrill Gang, but their people are one step ahead of you."
"How do you know that there are only two groups of us?"< br>
"Your Man Belt There are gold threads on them, and the faces of the Ghost Mandarin Gang are hard to distinguish. Their corpses have different degrees of decay. Do you understand what I say? The Ghost Mandarin Gang’s people are covered in maggots. I’ve seen them. Bones, your men's corpses are the most rotten. The serious ones are just beginning to swell. It can be seen that just a few days after you arrived in Anping County, the Ghost Mandrill Gang has been keeping an eye on that place for a while. They found out that you were also investigating, so they naturally wanted to kill you. "
"Maybe we can tell why they died?"
Wu Chen shook his head and said: "The deaths are bizarre and the cause of death cannot be seen. It stands to reason that with so many rotting corpses, the surroundings must be filled with stench. But I didn’t smell any stench even when I was close. It doesn’t make sense!” (End of Chapter)
