Guanzhong Tomb Robbery Notes

Chapter 399: Stop playing tricks, it’s time to get ready to go to Blackwater City!

Camel Master's human skin? !

I quickly took the photo from Cui Hao and looked at it carefully.

In the middle of the black and white photo is a cross-shaped wooden frame.

The wooden frame looks a bit like a scarecrow frame.

The horizontal wooden stick is tied to the upper part of the vertical stick.

The camel's skin was hanging on a cross-shaped wooden frame.

No, not hanging on it!

But it is placed on a cross-shaped wooden frame!

The pale and translucent human skin was covered on a cross-shaped wooden frame, and the shape of the frame could be clearly seen through the skin.

Camel's head was supported by the top of the vertical stick.

When the photo was taken, Camel Uncle's skin was floating in the wind, and the face of the human skin in the photo showed a sinister and weird smile.

Yes, I can be sure that the human skin is smiling!

That smile sent chills down my tailbone and my entire scalp tingled.

I moved my gaze downward.

The camel's human-skinned arms were placed on the horizontal stick and stretched straight to the left and right.

It's very similar to the stretching posture in radio gymnastics.

The chest and the entire right leg are placed in the vertical stick.

The left foot was tied to the bottom of the vertical stick, and the entire left leg skin was fluttering in the wind, making the two legs form a D shape.

Behind the cross-shaped wooden frame covered with Camel Man's skin was a vast wilderness.

All I could see was grass, not even a tree.

Could it be that the photo was taken on a grassland?!

Why did Camel run to the grassland?

Why did it turn into human skin?

Wait... When he was in the tomb of the King of Bi State, Tuo Ye had already been devoured by the mucus in the sarcophagus until only his skin was left!

Now that he has become human skin again, it means that he is no longer useful!

Could it be that the two-legged snake took back the mucus injected into Camel Grandpa’s skin?

If it is true as guessed, the two-legged snake should have gone to the grassland!

Could it be that its target is also Blackwater City?

Countless guesses popped up in my mind.

The more I guess, the more confused I feel.

It seems that things have become complicated since Huang Ziran appeared.

I clutched the photo tightly.

Slowly raised his head and looked at Huang Ziran.

"Where was this photo taken?"

"Meng Province, less than fifty miles away from Blackwater City."

Huang Ziran waved to the three staff members after he finished speaking.

The three of them hurriedly got up and left the tent.

When leaving, he did not forget to close the tarpaulin door tightly.

As the tarpaulin door was pulled shut, the light dimmed instantly.

Huang Ziran took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth.

He poured out two more cigarettes from the box and threw them to me and Cui Hao.

laugh!

He struck a match to light his cigarette.

Then he threw the whole box of matches at me.

As I pushed open the matchbox, Huang Ziran took a deep puff of his cigarette.

He sucked on the cigarette so hard that his cheeks became sunken.

Then two streams of white smoke rose from his nostrils.

The white smoke was billowing faintly, covering his face and his expression.

"Showing you this photo is my sincerity."

"I've investigated this Tuo Ye. He's a very capable tomb robber."

"During the Republic of China era, his tomb-robbing family was employed by overseas tomb robbers like Stein."

"Many extremely valuable ancient tombs were dug for them, resulting in a large number of important cultural relics being lost overseas."

"After the founding of the country, he stayed in your village under an assumed name, probably to plot against the Bi Kingdom's king's tomb."

"Now I need both of you to tell the truth."

At this time, I was lighting a cigarette, ready to take a couple of puffs to calm myself down.

By the way, think about how to answer Huang Ziran's question.

But just when I was smoking.

Huang Ziran suddenly slammed the table.

He asked sternly, as if he were interrogating a criminal: "What was dug out from the tomb of the King of Bi?!"

“Who did you give the things you dug out to?!”

Bang!

Cui Hao was so frightened that his butt slipped off the chair and he fell hard.

"Ouch!"

"I fell to death."

I quickly bent down to support Cui Hao, and took the opportunity to ask, "Captain Huang, you were so friendly before, why are you suddenly acting like you're interrogating a criminal?"

“The most important thing about cooperation is trust.”

"If you don't believe us, then you'd better break up as soon as possible."

Huang Ziran took another deep puff of his cigarette.

The scarlet cigarette butt burned quickly to the end.

It was about to burn his fingers holding the cigarette.

Well, cigarettes at that time basically had no filters.

When you get to the end of a cigarette, you often pinch the very end with your fingers, wishing you could finish the whole cigarette.

If there are still a lot of cigarette butts left, someone might pick them up and take a couple of puffs.

Huang Ziran threw the cigarette butt, which was only a little bit left, onto the ground.

Crush it hard with your feet.

"Chen Shitou, don't be so cunning."

"I'm asking you this now to give you some wiggle room."

"If you refuse to repent... humph! Even your grandfather will be arrested and interrogated!"

His last words hit a soft spot in me.

My grandfather is so old. If he were really arrested and interrogated, the consequences would be unimaginable.

If grandpa knew about my tomb robbing again.

You might get angry and then...

I dare not bet!

It's true that when you live under someone's roof, you have to bow your head!

My attitude immediately softened.

He said with a smile: "How dare I persist in my wrongdoing?"

"What happened in the tomb is really too weird."

"Looking back now, it feels like a dream."

"I'm afraid you won't believe me if I tell you the truth."

Huang Ziran's expression also relaxed.

"We at Bureau 749 deal with paranormal incidents. I have my own way of discerning whether what you said is true or false."

"And you shouldn't have any psychological burden."

"I won't send you to jail."

The last sentence is a threat.

What this means is that if we don’t cooperate well, we can be sent to jail at any time.

I know Huang Ziran is definitely not joking.

I could only take a deep breath and suppress the unhappiness in my heart.

In fact, my mentality at that time was very much like a bandit being recruited by the government.

Originally, he was the king of the mountain and lived a happy life.

After being recruited, he became Monkey King wearing a tight headband and had to do dirty, tiring and hard work all the time.

Not only will you lose your freedom, but you will also become a beast of burden.

This huge gap in feeling naturally makes me feel very uncomfortable.

After adjusting my mindset, I began to tell what happened in the tomb of the King of Bi.

"Entering the tomb, I saw neatly arranged painted boxes and a huge coffin in the middle... Then, the Meng family father and son hacked at the coffin, their eyes turning red and going mad... Then, many giant snakes emerged from the boxes!"

"The snake bit Meng Jingye, but the wound healed quickly, and snake scales grew on his body... Later, a secret passage was opened, leading to the underground through a long staircase..."

I tell the truth about what happened.

He told the story truthfully, including finding the secret passage into the underground, discovering the altar, the sarcophagus, etc.

After I finished speaking.

Huang Ziran smiled and applauded: "Not bad, you are telling the truth this time."

"I deliberately said before that I found nothing in the tomb."

"We actually found a secret passage and entered the underground altar."

"We've also been in the tomb where you saw the two-legged snake."

"It's just that everything inside has disappeared."

"Those bronze artifacts and sarcophagi have all disappeared."

"And what you said about Camel Master melting into the black mucus in the sarcophagus, leaving only his skin, also corresponds to the human skin in the photo."

"It seems that the exploration here can end early."

"It's time to prepare to go to Blackwater City!"
