When we saw the sealed gap, we wanted to open it. Fortunately, we had many people with us this time and we also had tools. We went back to get the tools and knocked for a long time, knocking out a few stones outside the gap.
Take out a hole. The gap is narrow to begin with, and the opening is also very small. People have to bend down to climb in.
When the hole was pried open, a very unpleasant smell wafted out, making people want to vomit. This smell was obviously something rotting in the crack, but it was sealed tightly by the stone and could not escape. The smell could not escape.
As soon as it appeared, it covered up the musky smell.
I have no experience, I just think the smell is unpleasant, but Jin Pingmei and Zhao Yingjun know that it is a smell similar to corpse odor.
Zhao Yingjun covered his nose and looked inside from the entrance of the cave. With the light he shined in, I saw from the back a layer of gourd-like things piled in the gap that was only about half a meter wide. These things were soaked in
The suffocating smell in the very thick, yellowish mucus is emitted by these mucus.
"What is this?" I felt like I couldn't open my eyes because of the smoke, and I wanted to dive into the water to escape the smell.
"Damn it..." Zhao Yingjun really went for it and fiddled with it for a while with a steel rod, then turned around and said to us: "They are all those kind of shadow heads."
He took out a few things from the gap. The scoop-like thing was actually the split shadow's head, dripping with yellow water. The body tissue rotted very slowly in such an environment, which made it difficult to judge the shadow's condition.
When was the head thrown in?
"That guy knows a lot."
When we saw these split shadow heads, we immediately understood the reason. Their skulls were empty, which meant that the cold-faced man knew how to interpret the shadow's memory. He took out the shadow just like we did before.
Brain tissue in the skull.
The crack was so smelly that no one could get in, and there might not be anything else there, so we gave up after observing it for a while. The three of us took tools and went to knock on the sealed crack next to it. In fact, I didn’t have much hope anymore.
, if the smell comes out again this time, just give up.
After the crack was pried open, there was still a smell, but this smell had a strong medicinal smell. It was unclear what kind of medicine it was. It mixed with the surrounding odor, which was very strange.
"Why does it smell like the old pits?" Jin Pingmei frowned. He was in the local goods business and came into contact with many ancient tombs. In some larger old pits, there would be a stale medicinal smell, which mainly came from the tombs.
of cinnabar, and the smell of medicinal herbs used for antisepsis.
We continued to work, and before the crack was completely opened, I gasped. Inside this gap, which was still less than one meter wide, there were many corpses stuffed side by side. The corpses could not be laid flat, one by one.
One stood upright in the narrow space behind the gap. Zhao Yingjun stayed at the entrance of the cave for a while, feeling that there was no danger, so he leaned half in and dragged out a corpse.
As soon as the body was pulled out, the three of us were a little at a loss.
Before the corpse was put in, it may have gone through some antiseptic treatment, with antiseptic medicinal materials, and probably filled with mercury. This caused the corpse to be in a very embarrassing state. It was not completely decomposed, but the preservation was not particularly good.
There were mercury spots all over my face and body.
But even so, we can still vaguely tell that this corpse looks like a cold-faced man.
"Holy crap! What the hell is going on?"
The three of them stayed for a while, and then Zhao Yingjun got in and dragged the corpses out, pulling out three or four corpses in succession. The three or four corpses were placed on the ground together. Compared with each other, we were all dumbfounded, even though the corpses behind were
Maybe it took a long time and the faces were blurred and unrecognizable, but we still subconsciously felt that they were all cold-faced people. I took a look and found that there were probably seven or eight more corpses in the cracks. Assume that all of these corpses were cold-faced people.
, then the conclusion about intersex people that Huang Po said is somewhat unreliable.
The cold-faced man is not a yin-yang person who can travel between the yin and yang worlds without dying. He has maintained a state of life and death for so many years because there are many him. One of him died, and the other one died.
Appears like this endlessly.
But this is just my assumption, because the body behind the crack has been there for too long, and even with antiseptic measures, it is in a mess. I can't conclude that these are cold-faced people just based on my own feelings.
In fact, I don't want the result to be like this. The mystery seems to have been solved a little, but it leaves me with more and more doubts.
"Take a look." Jin Pingmei pointed to the several corpses that were moved out and said: "Judging from their clothes, they did not die at the same time. They were at least several decades apart. These characteristics are too obvious."
I have been thinking, is this the case? The cold-faced man has been copied? If a cold-faced man dies, another cold-faced man will appear soon. According to my experience, the cold-faced man who appears again has
In fact, there is no difference between true and false thinking and even memory.
In a trance, I suddenly understood a truth and understood why the first cold-faced man who died left the growth ring stone with memory. This is definitely correct. For example, if I was copied today, then the copy
What Pin has is all my memories before today, but if the two of us were separated, we would become two unrelated individuals, and he would no longer be able to understand my experiences after today.
Obviously, what the first cold-faced man left behind before committing suicide were the memories that the second cold-faced man had not experienced. This is a inheritance similar to the alternation of reincarnation, which is very similar to the shadow's memory inheritance. Because the cold-faced man
For special reasons, it seems that he can survive from life to life, leaving the memory of this life to the next successor.
If this is the case, then this person is too terrifying. From the first real him to the present, thousands of years of memory have been passed down without any gaps. He must have mastered too many things that we don't know.
matter.
"Comrade Xiao Zheng." Zhao Yingjun turned to me and asked, "Maybe you also know where this guy comes from, right?"
I nodded. When we just caught the second cold-faced man, we all thought he came in through another unknown hidden entrance, because the guys guarding outside never noticed anyone entering through the bright entrance.
But connecting all the clues now, I can vaguely guess that if there is a more reasonable explanation for this matter, then this explanation is: the cold-faced man came out of the filled black hole near the sacrificial site.
of.
The black hole behind the iron gate of Xihai River and the underground river channel of Shiyan River may be copied. However, in my opinion, once the replica of Shiyan River appears, it will fight with the real person. They cannot coexist, regardless of whether it is real or not.
Fake, only one can survive. But the black hole behind the iron gate of Xihai River is different. When Zhao Yingjun and Lao Fang entered, they both saw their other selves, but there was no conflict between them.
But black holes are a restricted area for us. Zhao Yingjun and Jin Pingmei had known that there would be articles in the black holes, but they did not dare to go in again. The cold-faced man must know some secrets of the black holes, so he can use the black holes to die again and again.
Appear. It is estimated that he has mastered the secret of the black hole long ago. Only in this way can he exist in time like life and death as Huang Po said.
"We don't need to look at that black hole. Before we understand its secrets, entering it is equivalent to death." Zhao Yingjun stroked the beard on his chin again and said, "The only way is to force him to reveal what he knows."
"When will your great wizard friend arrive?" I was also a little anxious. Now it seems that the piece of paper given by Huang Po is too important. It carries the memory from the time the first cold-faced man appeared until his death, and
This memory is something that the second cold-faced man does not have. I estimate that the time period of this memory happens to include the initiation of the Tianji Project to its final end, which is the most important period of this event. I don’t know that the cold-faced man has
Not involved, but no matter what, his memory must be interpreted.
"It's hard to say." Zhao Yingjun shook his head. Although his great wizard friend also had a phone number to contact, the old man, like Zhao Yingjun, was a naturally restless person, otherwise the two of them would not have been able to play together. Zhao Yingjun tried to contact him.
At that time, the phone couldn't be connected, and he probably went to some remote place with no signal. I had no choice but to wait until he was wild enough.
But if this old man is wild enough, there is no guarantee. Zhao Yingjun cannot guarantee when he will be found. And our time is so tight, I suddenly came up with an idea. The cold-faced man will follow my father, Brother Wen, and Uncle Lai.
, I guess they are all of the same generation, and they probably know each other to some extent, but I don’t want to deal with Brother Wen, so I plan to contact Uncle Lai first and ask him about the cold-faced man? But there is no such thing in the mountains.
Signal, we can only talk about it after we go out.
As soon as we guessed that the cold-faced man came out of the black hole, there was not much value in exploring this space, so we planned to go back. The man hung a rope from the lake shore. There was no danger, and we were very calm. Jin Pingmei and Zhao Yingjun were pulled directly one after another.
When I went up, I fell at the end. I was about to stick my body out of the hole to grab the rope, but my eyes accidentally glanced and saw a shadow behind me, following me closely. This figure was obviously a person.
people.
I was panicking at that time. We had just seen this space. How could there be someone behind us?
