When I asked, Lou Yuluan seemed very confused. It was obvious that she had no memory of what had happened before.
Being able to suddenly lose consciousness means that Lou Yuluan must have been confused by something. I don't know what it was, but I think it must be related to the hundreds of wax corpses in front of him.
Most of the wax corpses come from the slavery system in the feudal period. Often, after the death of some prominent people, they will be buried with more or less martyrs, ranging from wives, concubines and maids to being buried with strong laborers.
People in ancient times believed that after death, people would go to another world to live anew. In order to maintain their status in the other world, the tombs were often large in size and there were many burial objects. Naturally, there are also many kinds of people buried with him.
It is most common for concubines, maids, and servants to be buried with them. There are even cooks, housekeepers, grooms, and other related duties. Some kings even have an entire army buried with them.
The most direct way to bury a living person and make it stand is to make it into a stone figurine, just like what we saw in the second section of the corridor.
But hanging by ropes like this is something I have never seen or heard of. This makes me think that so many wax corpses are not just for burial, but maybe they have other uses.
"Return the flashlight to you." Now that Lou Yuluan is fine, the flashlight should be returned to its original owner. However, the moment Lou Yuluan took over the flashlight, I discovered something strange on the ground below with the slanted light of the flashlight, and asked Lou Yuluan to verify it.
After being reminded like this, Lou Yuluan squatted down and even pointed his flashlight at the lowest angle at the ground at the feet of the wax corpses. He discovered that the ground was not flat, but had grooves.
I got closer to the nearest groove, and found that there was also a layer of corpse wax condensed in that groove, and there was an imperceptible squirming movement.
After careful inspection, I found that there were grooves and ravines at the feet of these hundreds of wax corpses, which were like spider webs. Almost all the corpse wax in the ravines was flowing towards the center of the spider web.
As for what the central area looks like, it is impossible to see clearly because there are too many wax corpses blocking it and the distance is very long.
Seeing me lying on the ground solemnly, Bai Chi limped over and lay next to me in the same way. After looking at it, he said in surprise: "Hey, why are there so many ditches? Could it be? Is it used to bleed these people before they were born?" I did not answer Bai Chi's question, but stretched out a hand and dipped the corpse wax in the ravine in front of me, rubbed it between my two fingers, and found that it was sticky. It is still very strong, and it will emit a faint strange smell after being weak and warm.
This strange smell has the smell of corpse oil, but it is covered by another weird smell. If you don't smell carefully, you can't smell anything.
"This corpse wax is very similar to the fuel used in torches before." Lou Yuluan said with certainty.
"Yes, this is the fuel used for torches. It seems that these people are not real burial companions, but tools used to refine fuel." I have figured out the origin of these wax corpses in front of me, but I can't help but wonder. Not to mention that there is still a sense of accomplishment in our hearts, but this so-called achievement may not be of any use to us. The right way is to leave here and join Liu Baye and the others.
"Let's go." As I spoke, Lou Yuluan nodded and walked along the narrow gap between the wax corpses with a flashlight, and I followed closely behind him slowly.
The distance between the wax corpses is about half a meter, so slim figures like me and Lou Yuluan can pass easily. But Bai Chi is different. Not only is he tall and tall, but he also walks with a limp. , almost every step he takes will cause the wax corpses on both sides to shake uncontrollably, and you can even hear the creaking sound of the ropes hanging on the stone hooks above.
After walking about half the distance, Lou Yuluan, who was walking at the front, suddenly stopped. The light of the flashlight stopped on a hanging corpse.
Just a cursory glance at the corpse made me take a breath, because the corpse hanging in front of me was not a wax corpse, but a person who had just died.
The man's head was bent downward at an exaggerated angle, and his neck had obviously been severed by the rope. There were several fatal wounds on his body, and bright red blood was flowing downwards along the wounds. Following the toes of the feet that were almost off the ground, they flowed into the grooves and ravines on the ground below.
Following the flow of the bright red blood, I finally saw the center of the spider web. It was a huge funnel about one meter in diameter. This funnel was embedded under the ground, even much lower than the ground. The bright red blood slowly flowed into the funnel together with the wax liquid gathered from all directions.
This may be the mechanism that draws corpse wax as fuel, but I don't care about this mechanism at the moment. What I care about is the corpse hanging in front of me at this moment, because the corpse is obviously very fresh and the blood is also Not solidified yet.
Lou Yuluan and I were both staring at the corpse in confusion. At this moment, Bai Chi suddenly came to my side and knocked the wax corpse hanging on one side straight away.
"Holy shit, aren't these people from my Bai family!" The men of the Cao Gang all wore uniform black clothes, so I directly denied that they were from the Cao Gang from the beginning, while Lou Yuluan on the side said this The corpse didn't show much reaction, so it was naturally not from her Lou family. Now that Bai Chi shouted like this, the identity of the corpse was confirmed.
"Holy crap, how could this happen? Look if my dad is here!" What he said left me speechless. What I knew was that he was worried about his father's safety. What I didn't know was that he wanted his father to be killed too. Hanging here.
In response to Bai Chi's request, Lou Yuluan shined the flashlight in front of his eyes, but he didn't expect that this photo was not important and almost caused my little heart to stop.
Wherever the flashlight could reach, there were more than a dozen corpses that were also flowing with bright red blood. Among these people were members of the Cao Gang, the Lou family, and the Bai family.
Bai Chi stepped aside first. At this time, I was already shocked. Lou Yuluan's face was extremely ugly, and the flashlight trembled violently with her hand.
"What the hell, who the hell did this? Get out of here, I'm going to cut you into pieces!" Bai Chi roared angrily from the side.
By coincidence, the wax corpse that he had just knocked out came back again, or the hanging rope was already overwhelmed, and suddenly broke when it was brought back, so that the hanging rope suddenly broke. The wax corpse went straight to Bai Chi and pounced down, directly pressing Bai Chi to the ground, and gave the wax corpse a wet French kiss.
"Bah, bah... I'm stupid, brother, save me, save me!" I looked at the wax corpse that was hard for me to get rid of with a look of disgust on my face, and instinctively shook my head.
It's just a wax corpse. The fat in the body has long since melted away, and now only the skin and bones are left. In addition to being terrifying and frightening, it has no weight at all. Bai Chi is still very casual. He pushed it away easily.
"Damn it, I'm still a young man. How dare you take away my first kiss? I'll kick you in the head!" Bai Chi vented at the man who just threw him to the ground. The wax corpse kicked hard on the head.
Everyone is already dead, and it's really pitiful to be humiliated like this, but I don't have the leisure to intervene.
Just when he was thinking about turning around to comfort Lou Yuluan and letting him move forward as quickly as possible, a gust of wind suddenly passed by, causing the wax corpses that hung like needles to swing like wind chimes.
There were bursts of squeaking noises. Almost at the same time, I suddenly felt a black shadow flashing past my eyes. I turned around hurriedly and saw that the black shadow was gone. Also disappearing with the black shadow was the one that was there a second ago. Bai Chi who tortured corpses.
