Chapter 57: Strange Corpse(1/2)

The sound of fighting on the deck became more and more fierce. The two escorts holding knives in the guest room did not know what was going on outside. They blew out the candles and closed the doors and windows.

Once someone breaks in from the outside, they can't see anything in the dark, but the two of them can use the light when the door opens to strike first and kill the next person with a knife.

The plan was perfect, but both of them overlooked one thing.

The locked doors and windows were airtight, and the dark environment prevented them from seeing clearly the details in the room.

I don't know when, a faint fragrance began to pour into the room, and the fragrance became stronger and stronger. By the time the two escorts realized something was wrong, their heads were already dizzy and they fell to the ground with a thud.

After a while, a golden thread as thin as hair came out from the crack of the door. Pulling through the crack, the door pin was easily lifted.

"Buzz..."

The door was pushed open.

The two escorts on the ground were already making deafening snoring sounds.

"Hey, you two idiots, just sleep peacefully."

The girl walked into the room with her mouth and nose covered.

He picked up the kettle that had fallen on the ground and put it on the table. He also didn't forget to arrange the teacups neatly.

Then she walked to the big box in the corner. She had been eyeing such a big box early on. If someone hadn't suddenly come to rob the escort, she wouldn't have had the chance to do it.

I don't know who of the group of people outside can win, and I don't know how long they can keep fighting. In short, I have to seize the time and take away the treasures inside as soon as possible.

There is a lock on the box, and it's not an ordinary copper lock.

This lock is called Jiuqujingjing. It has three keyholes and three keys. The keys are in the hands of three people. To open the lock, three people need to twist the keys at the same time. Even if you are slow, you can't open it.

The lock is made of thick fine iron, and the head of the lock alone weighs almost seven or eight kilograms. If you want to smash it open with something, you may not be able to open it until dawn.

So when most people see this lock, they just leave without spending any time.

But when the girl took a closer look, she immediately became happy.

A laughter like silver bells came out of his mouth: "Have these reckless men trained their muscles into their brains?"

The girl stood up, looked at the lock, raised her foot and kicked it.

One foot... two feet...

"Bang!", the lock was broken? No, the lock of the box was kicked off.

Without the latch, no matter how strong the lock is, it will be useless.

Without the lock, the girl wanted to open the box, but when her hand touched the box, she seemed to remember something. She turned over, jumped up with her waist high, and stepped on the walls on both sides of the box with her feet spread apart.

On the top, a person is hanging in mid-air and bending down to open a box.

Why is the posture so strange?

I'm afraid that there is a mechanism in the box, and if someone who doesn't understand opens the box rashly, if they open the black hole inside, or if a few crossbow arrows are shot out, they won't be able to hide in time.

The girl gently opened the box with both hands. She heard a rattling sound inside the box. The girl's brows moved slightly and she pulled hard.

Puff puff……

I didn't see clearly what it was, but the wall in front was already beaten into a hornet's nest.

When the girl saw this, sweat dropped from her forehead.

"Oh my god!"

It's a shame that I remembered it. If I couldn't remember it, I would die here today.

He jumped down, narrowed his eyes into a crescent moon, and looked into the box.

The smile on the girl's face suddenly began to stiffen little by little: "Are these people sick?"

All I saw was a dark mass in the box, and upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a corpse.

The body was curled up and it was unknown how long it had been hidden in the box, but the strange thing was that the body did not have any bad smell.

But you can still see the deteriorated corpse spots and rotting flesh.

"After all this effort, it turned out to be a corpse. It was really unlucky."

She frowned, cursed and tried to close the box, then took the opportunity to sneak away.

Press your palms on the box and push it down hard.

"Bang!" The box didn't close?

The girl glanced doubtfully, stood up, turned around, and was about to leave. But after taking two steps, she turned back and glanced at the half-open seam of the box, and the feeling in her heart began to twist.

Anyway, the fighting is still fierce outside, so I still have some time.

When she thought of this, she walked back, lifted the lid of the box, used all her strength, and then buckled it down.

"Boom!"

This time the box made a louder noise, but the box never closed. Why couldn't it close?

The girl's heart skipped a beat and she lowered her head to look at the box.

Only then could it be seen clearly that one of the hands of the corpse was somehow stuck in the box.

"Huh...scared me."

Seeing clearly that her hand was stuck on the box, the girl squatted down and looked at the escort's knife beside her, trying to take the hand back.

She reached out and picked up the knife, but just when her hand was about to grasp the handle of the knife, the girl suddenly looked into the box.

Her delicate face gradually turned pale, her whole body trembled, her mouth was half-opened, and her body suddenly froze in place.

In the dark box, two pairs of eyes stared straight at her.

I saw the hand on the box's seam twisting slowly, and making a clicking sound of its joints. The sound of bones rubbing came from the box, which sounded a bit like popcorn in a hot pot.

She is a well-known thief in the world. She once sneaked into the palace and stole the princess's most beloved jade Ruyi.

Except for the Forbidden City, she has never been inside. What scene has she not seen?

I have also heard all kinds of mysterious and strange rumors in the world.

But I have never seen a dead person resurrected and crawling out of a box.

She wants to run.

But his legs were shaking uncontrollably, as if he had lost all consciousness, when he looked at the gap in the box getting wider and wider.

The girl's cheeks were numb, and she even felt unable to breathe freely.

"I don't want to die, I want to live..."

She opened her mouth wide and wanted to shout, but the sound could only come out as a low growl from her throat, without saying a single word clearly.

"Kakakaka..."

The box was slowly pushed open, and the corpse stood up. The rotting face was a little dazed at first, and then looked at his palms, as if thinking about something. After a while, he realized that he was dead.

.

"ah!"

"ah!!"

The corpse tried shouting twice, and after finding that he seemed to be able to speak normally, a stiff smile suddenly appeared on the rotten face.

"Haha, freedom!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a person suddenly walked in from the door. Before the body could see who it was, the other person's fist had already hit his face. The strong and powerful fist was like a hammer hitting his face.

He could even see a flying tooth flashing past his eyes, followed by an open fist and a twist on his shoulder.

"Crack!!"

The arm that felt no pain instantly became soft.

The person who came didn't seem to have any intention of stopping. He leaned forward and threw him over his shoulder, throwing him to the ground. When the corpse came back to consciousness, its posture was twisted into a mess.

Then he watched helplessly as he was lifted up and thrown into the box again.

"Bang!" The box was closed again.

I didn't see clearly what happened from beginning to end. I only heard a man's voice outside the box: "Obviously, no!"

Looking at the box that was re-covered, the girl who was slumped on the ground finally recovered from her fear.

He raised his head with difficulty and looked at the man in front of him.

In the dark night, his face could not be seen at all, only his twinkling eyes revealed a heart-catching light.

"Thief?"

Xu Tong sat on the box and looked down at the woman's face.

The luck on top of the woman's head has changed since she appeared. It's cloudy at the moment. It's hard to say whether it's good or bad, but it's much better than the luck she had just before her death.

I also gained 10 points of proficiency in Qimen. Although it is not much, it can add up to a tower.

However, this also reminded me that I must think of a way to improve Qi Men's ability when I return.
