Gong Chao didn't dare to breathe, and followed me slowly towards the direction of Lu's body. We left a mark when we came out, so we were not afraid of not finding it. When we walked along the road we opened up at that time and came to the body, we heard a dense sound of people passing by nearby.
My nerves suddenly tensed up. This didn't seem to be caused by the wind. There must be someone there!
As I stopped, Gong Chao almost bumped into me, and asked me in a low voice with his teeth chattering, "What's that sound?"
I ignored him and listened for a while. The sound of footsteps gradually faded away, as if they had run out of the cornfield. I touched my nose and thought that the people in the village must have been scared after what happened today. No one dared to come here in the middle of the night. Maybe it was an animal like a rabbit that came to steal food from the field in the middle of the night.
He waved to Gong Chao and continued walking forward. After a few steps he reached the open area and looked around. Damn it! The body was gone!
Gong Chao was so shocked that he immediately collapsed to the ground. Although it was raining heavily at the time, we could clearly see that Lu's face was rotten, which meant he was 100% dead and there was no way he could be resurrected and run out of the cornfield by himself.
My heart was pounding as I shone my flashlight around to see if we had remembered the wrong place. I immediately saw the corn stalk I had deliberately broken. Yes, this was the place.
This reminded me of the strange sound just now. Could someone have taken the body away? Thinking of this, I pulled Gong Chao up from the ground and chased in the direction of the sound. The sound of the movement sounded like a person. With a body, he definitely couldn't run fast. In addition, the ground was muddy, leaving footprints. If I chased him in time, I could catch up.
"Why is Mr. Lu missing? Where are you taking me?" Gong Chao asked breathlessly from behind.
"I'm going to chase the body. Once I get out of here, you can go home first."
This sentence made Gong Chao fall again, so I had to turn around and pull him up. This guy asked with a pale face: "The corpse can run away by itself? Is it a resurrection?"
It only rained today but there was no thunder. What kind of corpse would be blown up? Even if he was a corpse, he couldn't jump out of the cornfield. I told him, "It's not a corpse, someone is stealing the body." Then I ran forward again.
"Wait a minute... who would come here and steal a body except the two of us who know he's dead?"
This is a good question. I don't know how to answer it. I also want to know who this bastard is. I just casually said, "Maybe you have offended someone, and someone has been watching you."
"That may be the case. I have to go over and see if it's that bastard."
Damn, this guy has offended someone.
We ran out of the cornfield, one foot high and one foot low, and checked the ground for clues. Sure enough, there was a row of footprints going straight forward. We chased the footprints for a while and then entered a large cornfield. It was difficult to chase in the cornfield because the vision was blocked and it was much slower.
Just when I was about to give up, I suddenly heard a noise in front of me, a "crackling" sound like a lighter. I looked forward and saw a faint flame not far ahead. I immediately turned off the flashlight and turned back to whisper to Gong Chao: "There's someone in front, let's go over quietly."
