While Mai Lao was inspecting the coffin, I whispered in Jiao Ba's ear and asked, "Lao Ba, can you do this?"
Jiao Ba glanced at me calmly and said, "It's not difficult at all to tell whether the coffin is empty or solid. Tomb robbers often Experts basically all have this ability."
"I thought it was some kind of superb skill, but after a long time, it was just average." Since some tomb robbers can distinguish it like this. It's nothing. Mai Lao can recognize it. Is it normal?
Jiao Ba sneered and said, "But if you want to tell whether there is someone inside, it is quite difficult. I definitely can't do it. I can only smell whether there is a dead person, Mr. Mai It’s really amazing.”
“What do you mean?” I feel like there is something in what Jiao Ba said.
Jiao Ba narrowed his mouse eyes and said, "What do you mean? Don't you think he is lying? How could there be such a coincidence in the world? He said there was someone inside, but there was really someone inside?"
"What if there is such a coincidence? Are you worrying too much?" I retorted to him casually.
Jiao Ba snorted coldly and said, "Brother Yi, if you think about it carefully, even if this is a coincidence, even if he can't tell whether there is someone inside, don't forget, he can tell whether the coffin is empty or solid. Although this is nothing, how could he have this ability if he hadn't been dealing with coffins all year round? Don't you think it's strange that he, a professional professor at a university, knows such crooked things? It’s not normal.”
I was shocked and almost ignored this. Jiao Ba’s words made sense. Mr. Mai is a professor. How could he have the skills of a tomb robber? This is really wrong. Even if he had been a soldier before, he shouldn't be able to do this. And judging from his current methods, he is definitely a veteran. What is this middle-aged man with white hair still hiding? How many secrets?
While the two of us were whispering, Mr. Mai suddenly stood up and said, "We have checked all the five coffins. All of them are solid and none are empty."
"What? There's nothing empty? Are there people in all the coffins?" I was a little surprised and asked quickly.
Mai Lao shook his head and said, "I don't know about this. I just said it. I can't tell whether there is anyone. I can only check whether it is empty."
Me He turned to look at Jiao Ba and said, "Lao Ba, what should we do now?"
Jiao Ba did not answer my words, but walked directly to the middle of the five coffins. He squatted down and started to smell each coffin. This time I knew what he was doing. It must be the same as before, I want to smell if there is any Yin Qi from the dead.
But a few minutes later, Jiao Ba stood up with a frustrated look and cursed, "Fuck you, you can't smell anything. There is no smell of death at all. If not, you have to rely on luck. We can’t waste any more time and just open the coffin.”
"But don't, is there no other way? It's too dangerous to open the coffin blindly."
Actually, I am also anxious. If I don't find Lao Shui and Xiaofeng soon, they may be in trouble. Less, but I can't make fun of other people's lives. I would rather waste some time than be careless.
I always have a bad feeling in my heart. These five coffins will never be placed here for no reason. Since these coffins are not the coffins of wizards, they must have other uses. If Just for the three of them, Li Xin, it would be overkill.
Even if you want us to kill each other, there is no need to put up such a big battle. Do you just want to deceive us? I don't think it's that simple, and the ghost Gu man's sudden escape must have something to do with the coffin.
Other than that, I can’t think of why they escaped. We have been here for a short period of time. Apart from these coffins, there is nothing else. If there is anything else to fear, The monster should have rushed out long ago. It can be seen that the problem still lies with the coffin.
The reason why we are so careful is to ensure everyone's safety. No one knows what is in this coffin. What if there is a more terrifying creature, or it is really a demon insect corpse? Then we really surrendered. There are not many people now, and there are still a few wounded. Once we encounter such a deadly evil spirit, it is impossible for us to escape unscathed, unless we leave Jenny and Li Xin behind, but this is simply not possible. impossible.
"I have no choice. Where are you, Jiao Ba?" Mai Lao threw the problem back again.
Jiao Ba sighed, shook his head helplessly and said, "There is no way, there is really no way. There are things in the five coffins. If you want to tell which coffin contains the two of them, you really need to know how to see through it. It’s just that, there’s no way to tell.”
< br>Mr. Mai finally said with a heart, "Forget it, we can't wait any longer, just find a coffin and open the coffin directly."
Since Mr. Mai said so, we have no choice but to open the coffin. I Looked at him and asked, "Which one to open? Tell me."
Mai Lao was even more straightforward. He pointed with his hand and said, "That's it. Just open it." This coffin is just to the left of Li Xin's coffin where he just found it. It seems that Mai Lao is walking in a clockwise direction. It's completely right. Blind.
"I think it's okay. Let's open it clockwise." Jiao Ba walked to the coffin and was about to push the lid.
The three of us lined up in a row again and looked at each other. Jiao Ba suddenly said sarcastically, "Whether we can find them depends on luck, and whether we can survive depends even more on luck." ”
I rolled my eyes at him and said, "You talk a lot of nonsense. Let's nail the coffin down first."
"Oh, look at my brain, I've forgotten all about it." Jiao Ba He slapped his forehead and said with sudden realization.
We pulled down the nails on the coffin lid, and then started to push the coffin lid down. Just like before, we pushed the coffin lid down without much effort. As the coffin lid fell to the ground, the three of us quickly stepped back. , Mai Lao and Jiao Ba fiercely pulled out their pistols and pointed them at the coffin. I had no gun left, so I had to pull out the paratrooper knife.
Jiao Bayi saw that I had pulled out the knife and asked casually, "Where's your gun?"
"There are no bullets. Let me throw it away." The gun is gone. Bullets are like fire sticks, and keeping them will only be a burden.
"Damn, why are you throwing it? I still have some bullets in my hand." Jiao Ba turned to look at me, then quickly turned back.
"Then if you didn't tell me earlier, how would I know." I stared at the coffin and complained, who would use a knife if there is a gun? This cold weapon will not be of much use in this damn place. It's a problem to save yourself, let alone kill any evil spirits.
"Then if you didn't tell me earlier, how would I know you were out of bullets." Jiao Ba replied lukewarmly.
"Shut up, everyone, why the hell are you still making noise?" Mr. Mai roared. Although he was looking directly at the coffin, his voice was like thunder, which made my ears buzz. 'ring.
As soon as we saw Mr. Mai getting angry, we all became honest, and no one dared to say anything. Mr. Mai’s display of power was very oppressive, and he was the only one who could suppress me here, saying To be honest, I still have a certain fear of this mysterious middle-aged man, the kind of fear that comes from my heart.
The three of us were four or five meters away from the coffin, holding guns and flashlights, motionless. At this moment, we could even hear the sound of breathing. The whole space was dead silent and peaceful. It's scary.
Looking at it from our angle, there seems to be someone inside, but we can’t see clearly. Logically speaking, the distance is not far. If someone is lying inside, we should be able to see it at a glance, but this time we can’t see it. It's not very obvious. It feels like there is someone there, but it doesn't feel like it.
After waiting for a minute, nothing happened. I asked softly, "Is this okay? How about... let's go over and have a look."
At this critical moment, I suddenly became brave. She has grown smaller again. I don’t know why, but I cherish my life now. The fearless mentality before has long disappeared. This may have something to do with Li Xin’s resurrection. As long as my life is still there, I can protect her all the way. .
“Don’t be careless, wait a moment.” Jiao Ba’s eyes tightened, and it could be seen that he was also in a very nervous state.
We waited for a while, but still nothing happened. Mai Lao and Jiao Ba were really calm. They just stood with their guns raised, motionless and their eyes closed. Without blinking, just like a statue, it is understandable that Mai Lao can stand still. This old guy can do anything, but it is rare for Jiao Ba to be so calm. It seems that he has improved a lot.
But I couldn't hold it any longer. I had to go over and take a look. At least I would know if there was anyone inside. "You two wait for me here. I'll go over and take a look."
< br>
Just when I was about to leave, someone suddenly tapped me on the shoulder from behind, "What are you three doing? Why are you in such a daze?" The person who spoke was Chang Shan.
"Holy shit, you are a ghost. Why is there no movement at all? I'm so scared."
He scared me so much that I almost jumped out of my heart. If he hadn't immediately When he opened his mouth, I almost wanted to turn around and stab him, but this kid walked without making any sound, like a ghost.
"He has been standing behind you for a long time, and he has been here since the coffin was opened." Old Man Mai said casually without looking back.
What Mr. Mai said surprised me even more. I didn’t react at all. He actually knew everything. This old guy is really awesome.
"Mr. Mai is so awesome. You can notice my movements so lightly. I thought I had deceived you." Chang Shan said softly from behind.
Mai Lao said coldly, "It's not that I'm great, it's the odor on your body that made me realize it."
His words almost made Jiao Baxiao and I spit out , the originally very tense atmosphere dissolved in an instant, and Chang Shan was so embarrassed that he couldn't say a word. "Changshan, please go back and take care of the others, Zhongyi, let's go over and have a look."
