"Then, the three of us started to walk back... No, it should be said to be crawling back. At that time, in my heart, I just wanted to go back quickly, back to the ground... It's not just me, Miss Yang obviously also With the same idea, we will climb faster and faster in the future. Soon, we even surpassed your brother. After all, your brother is carrying a snakeskin bag with a corpse on his back, so he can't climb fast at all. "
"However, as I continued to climb up, I began to worry constantly in my heart, so I would look back at your brother's situation from time to time. The situation of your brother at that time made me feel very strange. You know, he Holding the bag containing the corpse, it seemed that he was crawling very hard. However, he did not give up on the corpse, and continued to crawl with gritted teeth. That persistence made me feel a little fear. Why did he care so much about this corpse? I was even thinking at the time, could it be that the reason why he came down was to bring this corpse back? But, if that's the case, why did he bring the two of us with him?"
"Fear began to gain the upper hand in my heart. At that time, I had a faint feeling that this corpse should never be taken up. If I did, perhaps unimaginable and terrible things would happen. And later What happened fully proved that my fears and worries at the time were not superfluous. I know that you must be curious about why I said that, but let me explain them to you one by one in order. "
Zhu Chenyu then picked up the mineral water bottle and took another big sip. In such a cold weather, but still drinking such cold water, the most important thing is that he was still telling this true "horror story". It's not good. But in this small hotel, even the supply of hot water is fixed, and there is no gas stove here, not even a hot water bottle. The water poured into his stomach made him feel a little bit colder than before.
He put aside this uncomfortable feeling and continued to read the script lines in his mind: "After I had this idea, I climbed down, came to your brother's side, and said: 'Ji Yizhou, you must take this Take a dead body back?' But the way your brother looked at me at that time made me feel astonished. His eyes were lifeless, and when he looked at me, his expression was as indifferent as a robot. He even , did not answer my question, but continued to crawl upwards. When I looked at the corpse on his back, I suddenly had an impulse, so I simply untied the bag and threw the corpse down. However, I still didn't do it afterwards. This makes me very regretful."
Having said that, Zhu Chenyu paused for a while according to the instructions of the script, and then continued.
"Later, the three of us continued to climb up like this. The slope began to decrease continuously, but even so, it still took a lot of effort to go up. After all, this kind of slope is easy to go down and difficult to go up. Going upwards, the space also began to become narrow. As a result, Ji Yizhou, who was carrying the bag, seemed to be struggling, and even beads of sweat the size of soybeans began to roll on his forehead. However, even so, he still did not show any The appearance of giving up. At that time, not only me, but Ms. Yang also began to show a puzzled look. Thinking about it now, we are all very surprised why we were not surprised when he first put the body in the bag, and did not go Ask him why he did this? And as I went up, I felt that we seemed to be gradually becoming 'sober'. At that time, even why I climbed down here, I began to feel inexplicable, Because it doesn't fit my personality at all."
"Finally, it took us nearly an hour before we returned to the entrance of the cave. When I climbed out, I really felt like a human again. When I went down, it took about half an hour, but when I climbed up, I felt like a human again. It took twice as long. When I climbed up, I was covered in sweat. At that time, I climbed out first, followed by Ms. Yang, and finally waited for a minute before your brother carried the bag on his back. The bag with the body comes up."
"He continued to carry the bag and walked straight outside without saying a word, not even saying 'goodbye' to us. This scene made us all look at each other. And I turned my head against the At the entrance of the cave, I said to Ms. Yang: "Tell me, why did this hole appear? And what is that corpse?" Ms. Yang said: "I was watching "Tomb Raiders Notes" recently. Could it be some ancient The emperor’s tomb passage, right? If we reached the bottom just now, would we have gotten the treasure?” But I shook my head and said, “Have you read too many tomb robbery novels? In the history of China, Tianyang City has even once become Have you ever been to the capital of a feudal dynasty? Which emperor and nobleman would choose to bury himself in such a small place?" And Ms. Yang thought for a while, and then said: "Then, Ji Yizhou brought out the corpse. Could it be that he thought it was an ancient person? Can the dead body be sold as an antique?' I feel even more impossible: 'It's not an antique like porcelain, how can such a thing be possible...'"
"Later, Ms. Yang and I went out of the cave together, and Ji Yizhou had disappeared without a trace, and I don't know where he went. I guess he must have gone down the mountain, but I felt that he was carrying the corpse on his back. If the patrolman sees him, he may not be able to clean himself up even if he jumps into the Yellow River. But we have no choice, he brought the corpse down by himself. Then, I said goodbye to Ms. Yang, went down the mountain and walked back to the At home. My house is a little far away from the New Taipei Development Zone. When I got home, it was past midnight. I just fell asleep without taking off my coat. After all, that night was really weird. But that I didn't realize at the time what that night meant to us."
Having said that, he took another sip of water. Ye Xiang took another bottle of mineral water and handed it over, saying, "Drink."
"Thank you." After Zhu Chenyu finished drinking the water, he exhaled lightly.
And the Marquis quietly looked at Zhu Chenyu who was drinking water, waiting for the next words.
Then, Zhu Chenyu continued to talk about all the weird things.
"The next day, after I woke up, I went to work early. Your brother always works in the factory during the day and only comes to help at night. When I came there, the first thing I did was to go to the factory. Deep in the cave, I looked at the entrance of the cave. However, I was shocked to find that the entrance of the cave had disappeared without a trace! At that time, I almost thought I was dazzled, but no matter how I looked, I couldn’t find the entrance of the cave. I even asked someone to borrow a shovel to dig the rock. But it was completely hard rock, and I couldn’t dig it out. How could such a big hole be blocked in one night? Still such a deep hole! It gives me the creeps."
"And then, Ms. Yang also came. When she also heard about this, she was also very surprised. However, the hole did disappear. Although it felt incredible, the work still had to continue. When I was working, I also Discussed this matter with Ms. Yang repeatedly. After all, this matter was too weird and abnormal. The cave that suddenly appeared led to an unknown depth, and a strange mummy was found there. Two days later, the cave completely disappeared. Reminiscing that my brother was in the cave that day, and for some reason, he heard countless screams and the depth of the bottomless cave. I feel my scalp go numb. And I don't know why your brother brought that corpse back."
"In this way, I stayed up until night, when your brother got off work from the factory and came to the cave, I could no longer restrain my curiosity, and asked him what he was going to do with that corpse, and told him about the disappearance of the cave. However, he didn't show any surprise at the disappearance of the hole, and he kept silent about how to dispose of the corpse. On that day, your brother became more and more weird. He usually has an outgoing personality, but Now he has become taciturn, and I found that his skin has become paler and his face has become expressionless. Even if I ask him questions, he will rarely answer. However, there is a very important point, that is, in the past , when he processed the meat of these sick pigs into mature food, he always had a bit of guilt, but that day, when he came into contact with the usually disgusting rotten pork, he didn't show any discomfort at all. , operating very freely. It seems that he doesn't have any instinctive disgusting reactions to those things."
"And as the days passed like this, I became more and more curious about how he disposed of the corpse, and kept asking him, but he never answered me. Finally, one night, I was also in the cave. In the depths, there were only the two of us, and he finally said to me: "I will do this job until today." I asked suspiciously: "Do you feel that your conscience is hard to overcome? Or do you not need money?" However, he But it gave me a very unexpected answer: 'I have to do something very important. It will take me a long time, so I won't come to work for the time being.' So I asked: 'What are you going to do?' Then, his face suddenly became distorted, with a gloomy feeling, and then he said two words to me: 'specimen.'"
"At that time, I was completely dumbfounded. It took me a long time to say: 'You can still do taxidermy? I don't know. Do you do animal taxidermy?' He said to me: 'No. Instead, 'he', do become a specimen.' After a long time, I suddenly understood, and said: 'Could it be, are you talking about him...'”
"At that time, I suddenly understood. Your brother... He said that the one that will be made into a specimen is that corpse!"
