Then he heard a "slam" sound. Then a cold wind blew in.

He mustered up his last courage and looked up—

So in the end, I saw a big bronze hand with barbs on the knuckles, leaning into the hole in the window and grabbing his face.

It's so cool. He thought.

Then... a large bunch of bloody flowers exploded, red and white flesh, brain matter splattered everywhere, and the debris of the skull fell into the hot pot on the induction cooker, splashing bright red spicy oil everywhere.

Old Man Zhang's headless body knelt on the bed for another second before falling down. And the entire window and even the entire wall were shattered. The white-haired wind blew in with the rolling smoke and dust, and the broken bricks and tiles scattered all over the house, smashing the TV into a burst of blue smoke.

The incandescent lamp on the ceiling flashed, and then it went out because of the short circuit of the wire.

So under the faint moonlight... the bones stepped into the house.

It became different from the last time again. Although the muscles on the thick bones were still thin, a layer of bronze skin had protected them. On the skin, the extremely thin and small scales emitted a little moonlight, which was deserted and smooth, making people involuntarily feel a chill from the bottom of their hearts.

It stood in the house, then lowered its head slightly, and saw the steaming blood gushing out of the old man Zhang's body. So it bent down and picked it up, pulled the quilt on the bed, blocking the wound on its neck.

Next, it squatted on the ground and gently made a "sniff" action.

Then, a perhaps "satisfied" expression appeared on the face of the gloomy and terrifying skeleton.

The next moment, it raised its hands and thrust hard at the ground of the room. The cement floor seemed to have turned into loose soil, and a big hole was dug through its sharp claws. The bones did not stop their movements, but accelerated the speed. So the big buns of soil flew out from both sides of its body. In less than a minute, two mounds of soil were formed.

The frozen soil and hard stones under the ground all turned into melted cream in front of it, cut by the big hands that were harder than gold and stone, and threw them onto the ground.

Fifteen minutes later... the concrete floor of the hut was almost completely hollowed out. A diagonally downward hole opened with a huge mouth, revealing a faint cold air. The bones poked a hand out of the hole, groping for a while, and grabbed the flashlight of the old man Zhang, which was placed on the ground by it. This was a slightly worn-out, light blue plastic shell. However, in its hand, it was as small as a toy.

It used the sharp bone spur at the tip of its finger to scratch the end of the flashlight. After a light "click" sound, bright light shone into the hole.

So it carried the light source in its hand, bent its waist, and walked slowly in.

The whole scene looks weird and weird.

A pair of giant horns on its head scratched the wall of the cave, and the wet mud fell down rustlingly. But none of this seemed to be distracting it - because the light had already shone at the bottom of the cave that was more than ten meters long... on a headless torso.

This torso seems to have been buried underground for some years, with thin and shriveled, with white bones exposed at the neck and tail vertebrae. His limbs and head were cut off.

However, it must have been tall and powerful in its lifetime. It will not even be smaller than the "visitor" standing in front of it now.

The Chinese have been working and living on this land thousands of years ago. Under the thick layer of soil, a broken corpse occasionally appears, or even a dismembered corpse, which will not look strange. However, the one in front of them is unusual.

Because it was originally placed on a stone platform. The stone platform was buried deep underground for a long time, but it was still not very damaged. It looked like a stone bed. However, if you look at the chest of the corpse, you will find three black and green things there.

It looks like three thick buttons embedded in the middle of the torso.

The skeleton bent over and walked forward, bent his empty right hand into a claw shape, and carefully clenched one of the "buttons" with three fingers.

Then lift it up gently.

The stone bed under the torso made a slight cracking sound, and then...

A copper nail as thick as a child's arm was pulled out from its torso. The copper nail was covered with black and green rust. If it had not been brushed with the original color of the fingers of the bone, it would have looked like a piece of rotten wood. It threw the copper nail aside, and the next one was the second one and the third one.

Finally, the shriveled torso was completely freed from the stone bed. The bone "Adam" also dropped the flashlight, picked it up, bowed, and slowly walked out of the hole.

Outside the cave, the bitter cold wind had already covered everything in the room with white frost. The bones placed their torso on the ground, straightened up and grabbed the headless body of Old Man Zhang, grabbed the shoulder with one hand and the thigh with the other, twisted it hard-

After a crackling sound of bone shattering, the blood that became warm was poured onto the torso. The bones waited patiently for more than ten seconds, and then tried harder - another large piece of blood.

After repeating this four times, there was no more blood in the corpse. However, a layer of red and black ice formed on the torso.

It finally threw Old Man Zhang's body aside, looked at the torso for a while, and the dark eyeballs turned strangely in their sockets several times. Then it leaned over and hugged it in its arms, strode into the wind and snow outside the house, and waved backwards from afar-

A huge ball of flame exploded, and in just one second the broken hut was caged. Then, the flames licked around and climbed onto the roof of the plastic greenhouse next to it. Suddenly, the wind helped the fire, and the fire became powerful. In a short while, the long cotton rolling curtain was lit, turning the entire building into a fire scene.

The ruins after the fire were discovered three days later. At that time, the house and greenhouse were burned down, and even the capital of Old Man Zhang's body turned into coke, and a thick layer was covered with snow.

The first one was the criminal police from the county public security bureau. After discovering the strangeness of the body, they reported it to the municipal bureau. But even at this level of the municipal bureau, they still did not think about this major case in other aspects.

If it is explained by common sense, it is a case of killing people and robbing treasures. The so-called "treasure" is the three copper nails left in the tunnel. When the criminal police arrived at the scene, the tunnel had collapsed. However, the mounds of soil in the ruins of the house still attracted people's attention, so after a simple excavation, the stone bed and three copper nails were regained.

Therefore, the most reasonable speculation is...

There is an ancient tomb buried underground in the house. However, the crazy tomb robbers cruelly killed the old man before digging the grave, emptied the treasures in the tomb, and accidentally left three copper nails. In order to destroy the crime scene, before leaving, he, or they set a fire. The house was burned by the fire, and the falling building materials broke the body of the old man who had been beheaded and thrown into many pieces.

Such a conclusion is of course a bit far-fetched. However, it is the most reasonable inference within the cognition of ordinary humans.

So after the relevant experts identified the three copper nails and concluded that "this is at least 5,000 years ago", the focus of people's attention quickly shifted to the stolen "treasure" itself.
